The entire broadcast from Wednesday 06/17/26

Well, the weirdest damn thing happened today. 306 in the afternoon on a Wednesday, June 17th, it's 77 degrees. It's very pleasant. Nice to be with you here. So the strangest thing happened. I pull into the parking lot here at our studios 7461 South Avenue, as I normally do to come to the broadcast here this afternoon. And we have some Florida grass out there. All of a sudden, I'm looking at the Florida grass, and the whole Florida grass is moving. You know, it's moving. The whole, I'm saying there isn't a wind or anything like that. And I look at the Florida grass, you know, a little bit closer. You know, Florida grass is three, four foot high, and it's kind of moving a little bit. Then it moves a little bit closer. And there he is in his gilly suit sneaking out of the Florida grass. I said, oh my gosh, look it, that isn't Florida grass. That's a grown adult man in a gilly suit that is undercover waiting for my arrival. It's G2 who happened to be, was it hot out there? It was hot, but remember, I told you that I put a tunnel exit right outside the building. Yes. It's cool when I pop up. Yes, I mean, you know, it is the strangest damn thing to see, though. I mean, I'm just sitting back there going, is that plant moving? Is it moving closer to me? You know, I mean, and it's, and there he is, you know, in his gilly suits, waiting for my arrival to surprise me, and he's shocked and surprised me. I had to change my underwear because it was very nerve wracking for me. G2, welcome. You'll be in the studio, in the studio with me this afternoon. On this Wednesday, a good day for you to be here, incidentally, isn't it? Oh, it is. I mean, you know, I've been... We're trying to understand a deal. Yeah, and it's... There aren't a lot of details, and in the absence of details, people are filling it in with what they hope or think or might imagine. Yeah, he had some... press conference today. I'm just looking at him. I mean, just an observation. He's looking old, isn't he? Well, I'll tell you what. If you're going through what he's going through, and he's 80, even do it at 60, do it at 50, 40, the fact that this guy's still walking around under his own power is amazing. I mean, you've got the economy, you've got the thing in Iran, you've got these global negotiations, he's chasing this city of London crowd all over, fighting the Chinese Communist Party. It is astonishing that he's still on two feet. You know, I wouldn't be surprised if he's a little tired. Didn't he just change time zones? Where was he yesterday? I don't know. It's not surprising that he looks a little worn out. What about me? I came from Austin Town to Boardman. But see, you look fresh and energetic. You look, you know. Because I had the living bejesus scared out of me in a parking lot by a moving mound of Florida grass. Well, you know, those Florida grass gilly suits are harder to put together because you've got to weave that long grass into that thing. Yes, I said, what are you doing out of the bunker for crying a lot? I usually do the poison Kay Ivey gilly suit, which is great because then anybody comes close to you can kind of, you know. Yeah, you back away and that kind of stuff.

All right. We'll get some calls. But, I mean, I am just trying to get to the bottom of this deal to fully understand it. Maybe some of our listeners understand it's better than your fearless leader here. Is the, I don't know, the $300 million? He says it's not our money. I'm not sure whose money it is. Well, remember, there are a lot of parties. involved in this deal, right? It's not a deal. What is it, a memorandum of understanding? Right. So this is a memorandum of understanding that would lay the groundwork then to get to a deal. And there are a lot of parties involved in this negotiation. You've got, of course, the Pakistani serving as they go between. You've got the Gulf Coast countries that have real existential threats from Iran. Now pause a minute. The Pakistanis, the people that were hiding bin Laden. You mean the CIA? Or what do you mean? Pakistan. Oh, yeah, yeah, the CIA. Yeah, they were hiding Ben Laden. All right. Well, if you go back and talk to a guy named Kurt Weldon, he will tell you that when he was in Congress at the beginning of that war, he got a phone call. And a guy showed up and talked about knowing exactly where bin Laden was. Yeah. He tracked him because they saw his falcons because he never travels without his falcons because, you know, falconry is a big deal. They knew he was in Pakistan. You mean birds? Falcon birds? Yes. Oh, okay. Yeah, not the fighter. So they, they actually, he was in, when we sent people hunting him theoretically in Afghanistan, he was safely in Iran. Okay, but I'm saying that when I hear Pakistan, or how did Obama say it, Pakistan or something like... Yeah, he's kind of sound local. You know, that's the way Hillary sounds where she goes down south and suddenly she sounds like a southern belt. But when I heard Pakistan, that's the first thing I think, oh, the country that was hiding Ben Lawn that we had to go into and get Ben Lawn out. Yes, they are not a great ally, but they have been an ally since the Cold War. And they are the one group or one of the groups there that could speak to all parties. So it was... Really probably not a bad go-between to have if you have to have one, and clearly they did. I heard one thing that I heard the other day that I hadn't really focused on or heard is that in the beginning of this whole debacle, Trump reached out or sent sort of, you know, messages to the Iranians that he could talk, the way he did with Kim Jong-un and other people that he was told by the deep state, don't you dare talk to them. You can only know what we tell you to know. I wonder how he sent the message to the Iranians and who he sent it to. Well, I think he sent it, you know, a tie to the leg of a falcon. Carrier pigeons. Because, I mean, what person in Iran wants them to know their phone number and where they're at? Who in Iran wants to say, keep my cell phone on waiting for his call? Yeah, if somebody shows us, I'd like to get a DNA sample. Is that a jet overhead? Right. You know, the helicopters are coming. So, you know, you've got to have somebody in the middle. And when he reached out to the Iranians, the way this gentleman that I heard speak of it,

He reaches out to the Iranians in whatever manner, and they decided the show of strength was to not talk to him. Now, luckily, King John Oon didn't take that position. Of course, Trump looks at that as a sign of weakness. They look at it and think they're being strong and defiant. As a result, they get, you know, 16,000 targets destroyed. It probably would have been better to just pick up the phone. Kind of how I look at it when my wife gives me the silent treatment. Exactly the same. I say to myself, I'm looking strong. Right. And she says that incoming. I'm saying, boy, do I look tough? Keep your head down, danger close. Right, right. And before long, I'm whimpering like a baby. Right. Usually around dinner time. So you got a lot of parties involved in this deal that have real significant stakes in it. And he's trying to hold all this together while fighting Israel. You know, because Israel obviously does not want to stop. This isn't me saying it or imagining it. They say, we're going to finish killing all the Lebanese. I don't think they say it that way. They say, we're going to finish conquering Lebanon or however they say it. They want Lebanon. And I don't know if they're going to stop at the Latani River. They're going to keep going north. I mean, it's just hard to know what they're willing to stop at. But they are extremely upset, which is why you see like Howard Lutnick standing behind him looking. Frustrated. Yeah, what was up with the Howard Lutnick? Why is Howard Lutnick there? Well, Howard Lutnick's there because, you know... Shouldn't he be at Epstein Island? He should be probably vacationing at this point, and I would guess after this he'll be vacationing soon because he's got to be frustrated that Israel isn't getting what it wants. And so I think he's a bit too close to that particular actor to be effective in this. And I think Marco Rubio also, who's done a fabulous job in a lot of ways, but how many times did he go to the wailing wall in the first year? Like, I think he was every two weeks. I think that Marco Rubio has incredibly close ties, and we saw that when they decided to say, hey, maybe it's not JD Vance. Maybe it's Marco. That all came from that same group, right? So he's pretty close. He's got to be a little bit stretched right now. And so they sent JD Vance because he's the one that... was arguing for the domestic agenda when this war started. He was the one loudest in the room saying no. Yeah, but they were saying that this is, I don't know how to describe this deal, if you will, it's a memorandum of understanding. And if they don't adhere to some of this stuff, we'll go right back to bombing in 60 days. It almost sounds like a ceasefire. Well, it kind of is. I mean, you got to. So it's not a deal yet. No, no, it's a step in a deal. It's in the process of negotiating a deal. They do the same thing in transactions when you're going to buy a company. You come to a memorandum of understanding sometimes. Sometimes you go just to a contract. But, you know, many times you start with an MOU and say, okay, we're going to set the general terms, and then we're going to negotiate the details. And it's how you find a, it's an important milestone in moving forward to get to a conclusion. Now, we may not be able to get to a conclusion. Okay. You know, I'm using this technique. I mean, whenever I have a disagreement with my wife, I'm going to say, let's have a memorandum of understanding.

I'm going to use it on her. I think it might work. But it's possible that she believes she's imposing upon you an understanding, and you can memorandum it or not. She probably would say that. This is the memorandum of understanding. You're not understanding what I'm telling you to do. That's what I'm telling you to do in my memorandum of understanding is get your act together and pick up after yourself, all right? That's what I'm telling you. Got it. You know what I mean? There's no negotiating that's going on. But I am, so basically this is a, we'll see if they follow this for 60 days. And if not, we could go right back to bombing. So it's, it's not like I can go. No, no, no, no. And here's one of the big challenges of this is that the entire nation in real time, that's the problem with having the most transparent president ever. I mean, this guy's always talking to the media. It takes phone calls from reporters directly. We're all going through this negotiation with him, but none of us are at the table. So we're not hearing what's actually happening. And much of our interpretation come from people who love Trump and can see him doing no wrong, love Israel, and will stand by their interest and direction at any cost of Mark Levin. And some of them hate Trump. And no matter what he achieves, it'll be bad. You know, look, you know, we, because we all have these lenses, we're looking through it to color it the way we want. I'm looking at it and saying, okay, if the bombing's going to stop and the Lebanese are going to stop dying, now we got a shot at stabilization that could lead to a transaction. And I don't buy this idea that the Iranians get stronger every day. I don't understand that. If they're being denied the ability to sell oil, as I said before, they're being denied $400,000 a day. They need to continue to keep control in their country. It's clear they can't accept any kind of real, you know, surrender because it'd be the end of their regime. But for us to go in and force the change, I keep saying this isn't a video game. We don't just push a few buttons on a screen and all of a sudden, you know, Iran becomes some kind of, you know, subsidiary of the United States. It's 90 million people, tens of millions of whom hate this country, and it's going to be tough. And we just bond them 16,000 times. That doesn't build goodwill. So we're looking for total capitulation. You're not going to find that. No, as I said in February and in early March. If you want total capitulation. We don't understand their culture at all. And so look at their motivation. Can they accept surrender? No. Have we damaged them enough that they feel like they're going to lose control their country? Well, no. We've blown up a lot of military targets, but they're still running power. They're still drinking water, at least where they have water. They've had some water problems. So they're still in control, and they need to maintain that control. They need to look strong to the inside, which is what they're trying to hold on. And they had a strategy, I think. I think their strategy was, let's wait it out, the midterms. I don't think they were void of a strategy, too.

No, the strategy was real simple. It was like the turtle strategy, right? Pull in your arms and legs and head. You're going to lose some things, but the shell will hold at least because they know. We'll take this beating. Yeah. We'll survive. And so he's got a timeline on his hands. And many of the people in the Middle East will side with us because they hate the United States too. Well, they may have thought that, but of course that hasn't happened. And that's the thing. They're fairly isolated. You haven't seen China rushing in with 900,000 troops like they did in North Korea. Yeah. Right? You haven't seen the Russians sending in fighter jets and ballistic missiles. So they really are somewhat isolated, which is a critical point here. You know, this country's been under sanctions for decades. But are their neighbors going to side with Israel or Iran? Well, their Middle East neighbors, who are they going to side with? The Gulf Coast countries are going to side with a prosperous, safe, secure future. And you know how hard they fight to maintain control of their own kingdoms. Because they've got radicals all over the place that would like very much to get control that Saudi oil field, right? They'd love to have Saudi Aramco become, you know, the ISIS Aramco, right? And so I just don't think that you have a large group of supporting countries that are going to do a lot for them. Now, for us to go in and, as everybody keeps saying, you know, finish the job, what's that going to take? Well, we're not going to do that with conventional bombs. So we're either going to put a million people into the Middle East and do a ground invasion because it's going to take about a million people with support staff and warfighters. We're going to have to start probably a trial. 6,000 miles from America. Right. Maybe we have to have a draft. And then we're going to probably have to use at least tactical nukes, if not real nukes, because if you're going to do this without a serious loss of life on our side, and Israel's not going to do the groundwork. I mean, they'll send in the IDF, but they don't have anywhere near the force to take this country on. And he knows the American people aren't going to support that. Everyone knows it. The Iranians know it. So they know that all they have to do is survive the bombings. and live to fight another day and locking down the Gulf, effectively the Strait of Hormoros, gives them leverage over the world. But it also gives the world a reason to pressure them to yield. So it says here, the U.S. Department of Treasury will issue waivers for the export of Iranian crude oil. petroleum products and derivatives, and all associated services, including banking transactions, insurance, transportation, etc. The agreement states, according to officials. Let's see. An official emphasize, the oil waivers are the only major benefit Iran will receive before a final agreement is reached, arguing that the move would increase transparency into Iranian oil sales while helping reduce global energy prices. Well, there you go. It's good outcome. I mean, so that kind of helps everybody in this meantime. Everybody says, well, they're getting stronger every day. They get time to rebuild. So do we. You know, I mean, our defense industry doesn't move quite fast enough in creating missiles and weapons, but I'm sure with the money they're getting now with this trillion dollar defense budget, they'll find a way to get us a few more things at a million dollars a pop. So, you know, we are not, I'm not understanding.

how you think a country that's isolated that's not shipping oil that has been bombed over and over again that has no control of its air or navy no or waters outside of being able to stop commercial cargo going through how is it that they're doing so well They're just surviving. It says in negotiations aimed at a final agreement, the memorandum also calls for the U.S. and regional partners to develop a plan worth at least $300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of Iran. Official stress the provision does not commit the U.S. to providing the funds, arguing instead it would permit outside investors. We'll talk about that and more your calls. News Radio 570 WKVN. Ron Verb from the Kingdom of Mahoney with G2 in the studio. Let's mix in some calls as we go here. You're on the air. Hey guys. Yes. You're going to have a memorandum of understanding with your wife. Yes, that's how I'm going to operate from now on. You are a dead man. No, I think it's a great idea. Don't you think it'll work? Why should I, why should I have cut a deal? I'm going to use it tonight. I think we have a memorandum of understanding. Like I said, the G2, though, I know how it's going to go because she'll say, well, here's what you need to understand. You need to understand, put the dishes in a dishwasher when you're done eating, period. That's what you need to understand. Okay, now my call is not politics, but I want to get this out to everybody. We got a birthday coming up here, a 250-year birthday. So that gives everybody two and a half weeks to find their time capsules that was buried hidden in 1926 and 1976. So I'd like people to go out and look or investigate where they're at. And on 4th of July, we'd like to know what's in them so they can call in. What makes you think people have a buried time capsule, incidentally, because I've been around all this time. I've never really buried a time capsule. Really? Yeah, I mean, yeah, really. I've never... Isn't there one in Struthers or Campbell? Isn't there one next to one of the lakes? I don't know. I'm just talking. Who has buried capsules at time? School districts do. Okay. We are kids. Somebody buried a time capsule for us for 176. So I'd like to know where that went. And... Well, it's probably... What do you mean where that went? It probably is right where they buried it. Where we're at, Ron. A lot of people who did this have already died. A lot of buildings have burned down that had information and on and on and on. So that's something I'd like to know. All right. I got you. Thank you. Thank you. That's unique. You're on here.

Ron, I took time out from buying stocks today to read that memorandum of understanding. Yes, Frank from Fort Lauderd. Go ahead. Give me your thoughts. I'm interested. Okay, but first I wanted to say that I bought stocks because the market crash because Worf said he's not going to raise rates now, but he will later in the year. So I'm picking up some... The stock's real cheap while it's crashing. Now tumbles 300 points after rates jump as Fed officials signal possible hike this year. Well, that's, I bet you that. Now, seriously, that's got to really piss Trump off. It sure is. I mean, because that's what his problem was with the former Fed guy that he wanted him to lower rates. Then he puts this guy in, and he's talking about raising rates. Well, interest on the national debt will cost the federal government more money now. Yeah. But you're right. The market went down today as a result. Oh, by the way, that guy that was not happy when I said when investments go way up in two, three days in a row. You might want a short sell in case there's profit taking. Yeah, standby. Stand by back after the headlines. Ron Verb with G2. Stay tuned. Do it, Nguley. News Radio 570, WKVWKVN. And let's get back to it 335 in the afternoon. It's a gorgeous day. It's 76 degrees. Fort Lauderdale, Frank, is talking about the markets down today because of the Fed guy saying he might raise interest rates. Okay, pick it up, Frank. And also, it sounds like Iran is dictating terms, the return of $12 billion in frozen funds in the lifting of sanctions. And you know within 60 days, the U.S. will have to release the final $12 billion in Iran's frozen assets. but in return Iran will forego the development of nuclear weapons. But I read the head of UAE security, traveled to Iran allegedly to release two billion frozen funds to Iran, and also with support from China, Pakistan may well be selling Chinese J-10C fighters to guitar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. Because my guess is the Arabs know they can't depend on Washington for protection in exchange for requiring countries buying oil with U.S. dollars. And, you know, now pause for a second. So explain the deal. Do you think the deal was a good, what we know about it, was good, bad? How do you assess this? I think it was total. Total capitulation. You know, Trump said many times in the 2024 campaign that if you vote for Kamala Harris, you will get war. And if you vote for me and JD Vance, you won't. You know, Iran didn't enrich to 60% until the Iran deal was nullified by Trump.

Before that, there were inspections and invasive surveillance, and nobody thought Iran was about to get a nuclear. Even Tulsi Gabbard said the intelligence community was convinced that Iran wasn't even trying. One, I've been hearing... Okay, now hang on a second. Just hang on a second. The $300 billion that's supposed to go to... Iran. Explain that to me, Frank, from your... It says, in negotiations, same debt, a final agreement, the memorandum also calls for the U.S. and regional partners to develop a plan worth at least $300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of Iran. Official stress, the provision does not commit the U.S. to providing the funds, arguing instead, it would permit outside investments if a final deal is reached and Iran complies with its obligations. What's that mean? Well, I think a little difference here, that $300 billion is to reconstruct Iran for us and Israel destroying their country. But the $24 billion in frozen assets is part of that memorandum of understanding if Trump signs it. And you know what, Ron, I'm sick and tired of hearing that Iran is two weeks away from a nuclear weapon. I've been hearing that for 40 years now. You know, the latest polls say that 63% of American Jews opposed the government of Israel, like Ben Cohen of Ben and Jerry's, for example. Now, the greater Israel project is from Palestine to Pakistan. Israel wants all that territory. But you know, the majority of American Jews are America's most productive citizens. and want no part of Israel's genocide and other war crimes, you just got the Republican white wingers like Jacob Designists that are cheerleading for this war, but none of them, like Rich the pharmacists, are willing to enlist and go over there and fight. Well, they're too old. I mean, Riches are which I believe, first of all, Rich has flat feet and he's too old. Hang on a second. Any comment, G2? Wait a second. There you go. I think Ben Cohen, the Ben from Ben and Jerry's. He's a lib. He hates the United States, too. So I don't look to him for guidance on anything political or geopolitical or anything. That guy, I mean, he's just a nut. But the... But the comment you made about Tulsi Gabbard is a critical element here. You know, yeah, you've been hearing this your whole life that they're two weeks away. What are they going to tell us now? Four weeks? You know, last summer we were told the nuclear program is in these three locations. Great. Trump destroys him. Almost no loss of life, no war. The bunker buster. Yeah, really great execution. And they all wasn't there. It was successful. I really do believe that. Well, whatever was there was taken out, right? Then it's, oh, well, it wasn't just there. And, oh, they're going to dig out. And oh, we've got to go in and attack him again.

they've been pushing for this war for four decades at least i guess since nineteen forty seven probably i don't know They've wanted this war since before Israel was founded. So it is absolutely, there is absolutely nothing that is going to satisfy the Israelis except the total destruction of Iran. I mean, that's what they've wanted. I've referenced many times now this Trump term one silly drone thing they did where they flew a drone really close to Iran. It got shot down. They launched the bombers and Trump says, how many civilians are going to die? They gave a number. He said, okay, it's not worth it. It was a robot. Let it go. They've tried and tried and tried to provoke this war. Now they have it. All right. I don't think it was a great idea to do this war at this time, and the comments about Tulsi Gabbard are correct. Why was she not coming out during this time and saying, oh, no, no, there's a nuclear threat. You were all missing the point. And she didn't. She came out before this war and said there really was no serious nuclear threat. All right, so we did the bombing. It's off the table. That wasn't enough, so they bring it back. And there are millions of Americans that believe we were all about to die in a mushroom cloud from Iran. And it's just not true. So, okay, let's, so that's, I agree, Frank, that's off the table, right? That's just not real. So now we're in. G2, are you aware that Iran is the most peaceful nation in the world after Switzerland? They haven't attacked anybody for two and a half centuries. Well, I'll tell you what, now I'll take a slight twist on that. Iran has avoided war in their own country because like us, they fund wars in other countries. So, you know, we don't fight in New Jersey because we fight a liberal war. Well, it's not about blame. We don't fight in New Jersey. No, hang on a second. We don't fight New Jersey because we fight all over the world. They don't fight in Iran because they've got Hezbollah, the Houthis, and they've got Hamas that are fighting around Israel, keeping Israel engaged, and doing other things. And because they're very formidable as a country. Geography, population, attitudes, is a very tough place to crack. So Iran has successfully kept war from their shores as we have until now. So the strategies worked. But I wouldn't consider them a peaceful country given their constant funding of attacks and other places. Remember, when the U.S. embassy was breached on December 31 of 2019, whose name was written on the outside wall of that embassy? I'm sorry, it wasn't breached. It was attacked. They didn't get in. And they underestimated Trump. But whose name was written on that wall? General Soleimani. Because he was the one that orchestrated that assault on, and I think with some friends in the United States who wanted to take Trump out of office, named the Democrat Party. I think they definitely, remember how freaked out they got when Soleimani got killed? Why was that? Because he's their ally. That's why the Democrats freaked out. Who's killing Shiites in Syria? Is it Iranians?

To think that the Iranians haven't been active in Syria would be a little naive. Are they allowed to protect Shiites? That makes them a warlike country. I completely disagree with you. And you know what? I read a military general that says the Iranian uranium is secure. It would take 100,000 ground troops or more. And they could be going through that country for a year and still maybe not find it. Oh, we're not invading Iran with 100,000 ground troops. Nothing like that. It would be many, many, many more than that. In order to effectively penetrate that country. That's not going to happen, all right? No. There's no way it's going to happen. The American people won't support it. It will change everything. No, it's not going to happen. All right, quick comment, Frank. Who do you think, so what do you make of the memorandum of understanding in general? Well, I think it trumps between a rock and a hard place. If he doesn't sign it, and the war continues on, look at inflation, look how bad the economy is doing. I mean, you know what, we're going to have higher unemployment, stagflation will continue. If he doesn't do this deal soon, it's not so much that oil prices will keep going up. High oil prices causes recessions and depressions, not inflation. It's the Federal Reserve. And by the way, G2, you said recently that Congress has the power to print money. You are dead wrong. It's the Federal Reserve that has the power to print and create money. Congress has the power to tax and spend. They control fiscal policy. The Fed controls monetary policy. You are totally wrong. Well, that's great news, Frank, because then that means Congress can only spend what it taxes, and that means we're going to have a balanced budget. So I'm excited to hear your analysis. That's brilliance. You know, I know. Could you convey that message to Spender Johnson and this idiot John Thune? Who spend more than we take in? They run $2 trillion debit. What do you think? They go to Walmart and pick up the cash out of the drawers at night? What do you think it's coming from? It's just a dumb argument. All right, my point. All right, fellas. Thank you. Congress doesn't have the power to print money, G2. But they're spending more than they've taken in. Yeah, and it just appears out of the sky. So they don't print the money, but they spend more than it. They put us in a debt. That's correct. And technically the Treasury should be the ones doing the printing, but that's a silly point. All right. You're on the air. Ron Furba, G2. Hello. Yeah, this big largest sink, this is Pete. This good large amount of money that... being held at $200 or $500 billion or whatever that was. $24 billion. Yeah, $24 billion. I think what brought this war to a dead stop is when Iran was always being able to get money into the country to make the country work. And it was due to because of Saudi Arabia and United Emirates, United Arab and Emirates. that secretly helped them take oil from Iran, put it in other tankers, and send it out of there. And there started a banking industry hid from everybody else, and they're holding it. Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. But anyhow, they said, you've got to stop because we're going to hold this money.

So there's a ghost fleet, right? Of these tankers that are supposed to not be traceable that everybody knows exist. And they sail around with these cargoes out of places like Iran and other sanctioned oil. And it goes somewhere like the Malacca Straits and they'll transfer it from one ship to another. This all happens in broad daylight. Again, as we all know, we can surveil any part of the planet at any time in great detail. So there is a ghost fleet. Go ahead. I'm sorry. That was not my point, sir. Oh, sorry. My point was they turned around and told Iran, enough is enough. You bombed us. There was no reason for you to bomb us. I mean, if you had just bombed Americans that have been ours of another color, but you bombed us personally. You want this money? Bend. I think the $24 billion actually were assets seized back in the shop fell. Yeah, it's their money. Yeah, they've had it. That's like the money that Obama gave them back, you know, and there were two things there. I don't think it was one. I think there was some money he was secretly giving them, and then this $1.8 billion he was returning of their assets. I think I can explain it so this guy understands it. I can explain it so you understand it when I say it's their money. It's the equivalent of like when your wife caller would go out and buy you a Christmas gift using your charge card. You follow me? It was like, here's your Christmas gift, but it was your money that bought it. You just didn't know it. You see? Oh, well, you see, that's the point. It was in the fine print of our marriage license. I got married, and it was written there in fine, fine print. It was so fine you couldn't put it under your telescope to read it. That's your money is her money? What did you get to be boxed? And I got told. Well, you didn't read the fine print, did you? Apparently not. Because as I understand, I understand your money is her money and her money is her money. Right? I'm the boss. As long as I do, it's on the list that she gave me once you walked out the door. Absolutely. But they say they'll give the $24 billion back if Iran adheres to the deal. There's strings attached to it. Well, right, and you've got to give them incentives. And so returning their own money is not a bad thing if we can get to a deal. But the whole point of this $300 billion, this is the part I really like is this $300 billion. How do you like this? Well, because... The way I think this is – I don't believe this is Donald Trump getting the Fed to print money so the Congress can write a check to – Rebuild Iran. To give them $300 billion that they can go play with as they wish. That's not how this is going to work. Taking a lesson from Belt and Road and from the IMF and the way they do these country crippling deals, they're going to go in and make targeted investments that will be funded by outsiders. Now, who's better to do that than the – than the Sunnis, the Shiites across the way. The Sunnis across the way. Who's better to do this than the Gulf Coast countries who have plenty of cash, need that straight open? You know, Trump's trying to find a way to bind Iran back into the world of, you know, the community of nations, right? This gives people a reason to invest in it. They're going to have to meet.

uh... requirements it's going to happen over time three hundred billion into that country's a fair bit of money now our congress bill they'll just burn that in the afternoon isn't that though for to rebuild iran no the three hundred billion yes but but the it'll be to rebuild which means it's going to take time it's going to have to be targeted investments unless unless he just throws this to the wind and says oh no i'm just giving them three hundred billion in cash they can do whatever they want with it i just don't see trump doing that that would be untrumpian On the other part, granted, they're going to say they're going to use that to rebuild their country, help their country out. And that's what Obama did. And we're back to the Obama plan, but a little bit more added to it, I guess. No, no, no. No, what Obama did was ship them pallets of cash. He just released cash to them to use for any purpose. That was their money. Well, yeah, their money plus interest, but then they were... There's other money that these other countries are holding on to. But they had to give us some of them. They had to give us that uranium, didn't they? But then they were free to ship that money out to anybody they wanted, use it for any purpose they wanted by weapons, make investments, or by weapons. They were able to use it for Hamas, the Houthis, Hezbollah. So what Obama did was... It gave energy and money and resources to the terrorist machine that he liked that was going to continue to disrupt the region. I don't believe that's what this is. I know that's what we're all assuming. It's not what the words we're seeing right now are saying, and I don't think that's where it ends up. So you want an investment that's going to take time, meaning they have to comply over time. You want it to be something that's a targeted investment, not just cash that can flow out to anybody with an AK-47 and a shoulder-fired rocket. Right? That's where this begins to be a productive use of $300 billion. And those Gulf Coast countries can make that investment and never missed the money. Okay, so they get that $300 billion and then they turn right around and say, we're going to do this, we're going to do that, but we're going to spend a million dollars on armaments. Russia, China, you know, and they'll... to hide it there somewhere to get it there. Think of it like Belton Road. The way, you know, when China comes in and says we're going to give you a billion and a half dollars, they don't write a check. They say, okay, first you have to take, you know, 250,000 Chinese guys and they move them into whatever country. Then they say, okay, we're going to buy your concrete, your rebar, and we're going to build your bridge. As you know from the bridge down in Panama, sometimes there are no roads to those bridges. They're literally bridges to nowhere. But they're going to invest in specific infrastructure because that's what they want. Now they go in and they build ports for countries and they build other things for countries that those countries need because that binds them to the countries over the long term and they implant their own people there. There won't be, I don't think, a personnel element to this. But I think this will be targeted investments, not just cash that can be used to go out and buy material. All right, but the interesting thing, just as a side notes, I mean, where I was looking into this, where Obama sent this plain load of cash. Yeah. And he had to go to, I mean, the government went to all of these banks in Virginia and everything and took all the cash. And went to Switzerland and transferred it into $9. Yeah, they had to go round up this cash. Yep. And they couldn't do an electronic transfer. No, and they had to get it out of U.S. currencies, so they put it into pallets, at least for that cash. But they had to go to local banks and everything to get the money. Yeah.

I'm still saying there's going to be a way they can hide it and do what they still wanted as they did before. All right. Thank you, my friends. I'll be back. 570 WKBN. All right, news radio 570, Dukui, and you're on here. Gentlemen, good afternoon. Always one, you know, an encouraging day when Frank from Fort Lauderdale gets on with the anti-Semitism. I always enjoy that. Oh, no, knock it off. Okay, go ahead. Well, you know, well, I would accept that it's true. I mean, I don't call people things if it's not deserving, but he definitely has a problem with the Jewish people. But that's, and as far as, you know, stocks being so much on sale today and he's making so much money, right now they're still higher than they closed up Monday. So I don't know what kind of a financial guru this guy has, but it's not like the market crash today. It's down about... 8 tenths of a percent. No, no, it's down, you know, 500 points on the Dow is significant. S&P's down 91. NASDAQ's down 355. I mean, it's, when it's talking a major down day, I mean, everything's in the red as I'm looking. A 1% move is not a crash. Okay. 1928 was a crash. 1% is, 1% on a daily basis is nothing to get excited. Stand by. Hang on, Rich. Hang on. We're coming back after the break at 4. Rich, a pharmacist and more straight ahead.

From ABC News, I'm Michelle Franzen. The U.S. offering details of the memo of understanding between the U.S. and Iran now set to be signed Friday in Geneva. The proposal includes a 60-day ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, so talks can resume and reopening the Strait of Hormuz and also finalizing a nuclear deal. ABC's Jonathan Carl says Iran could also get key sanctions lifted. The single most important sanctions were the sanctions that denied... Iran the ability to sell its oil on the international market. Now, they did sell their oil anyway through shadow fleet on the black market, but this cost Iran dearly. Now, immediately upon signing this, they have access to international oil market, something they have not had. for many years under many different U.S. presidents. At the G7 summit, President Trump says if Iran behaves, they can get access to frozen funds. After federal authorities disrupted an alleged drone attack at Sunday's UFC event at the White House, the Justice Department now says it bolsters the case for a secured White House ballroom. The overnight filing to the D.C. Circuit Appeals Court has the Justice Department arguing the plot to attack the UFC fight with drones and snipers is exactly the kind of threat. project would protect against the Secret Service's deputy director has said despite the plot the UFC event was never at risk but the Justice Department says the plot underscores the need for a drone port and sniper nests on the roof of the ballroom the appeals court is still weighing whether it will allow a lower court's order blocking construction to take effect Stephen Portnoy, ABC News, Washington. Dangerous storms targeting Midwest states today, the outbreak will include hail, flash flooding, damaging winds, and possible tornadoes. Central Illinois and Indiana facing the biggest threat. In the Gulf States, residents already dealing with flooding, now bracing for tropical storm Arthur, the first of the hurricane season with life-threatening flash flooding. Reported. You're listening to ABC News. We're back to it. It's 406 on a Wednesday afternoon, June 17th. We're at 76 degrees. Son, a beautiful Wednesday afternoon on Newsradio 570WKVN. Ron Verba, G2's in the studio with me today on this very newsworthy day. And so let me see, Rich is out there. And let me just ask you, Rich, what do you make of this agreement? Oh, I think, you know, if it holds, it's a good way to get out of it. I think right now we're at sort of a detont. But if I could say one thing, I found something out interesting. Last Thursday, I became a precinct committeeman out here in Beaver. Oh, great. And I'm sitting there, and this guy comes over to me, and he says, G2 says hi. All right. Well, that's a whole other story. Let's stay focused. Well, I found out we grew up. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. All right. I don't want to get into it. All right. All right. So just go on. I think we're at a detaunt, right? I mean, is it going to be a great deal for us? No, it's not going to be. I think we're looking for any way we can get out of this right now and still save face.

You know, if you listen to JD Vance, you know, running the circuit yesterday on the different TV shows from the viewed. I think he was on Gutfeld. He was also on the five, I think. And he basically said, you know, they're going to get $300 billion, but it's not going to be a dime of taxpayer money. And they don't get it unless they meet certain benchmarks. No, my biggest question is how you're going to monitor those benchmarks to make sure that they're hitting them, they're not cheating or what have you, because they're the world's biggest liars and cheaters. You know, do I think starting this was a brilliant idea? No, I mean, I've never advocated for starting this war. All I've said is once it started, if you can defang Iran and get them to be a little better actor in the Middle East, it's not a bad thing. It's going to be a good thing for the world in the end. You know, you, I don't think anybody, you'd be hard-pressed out, other than like Lindsey Graham and some of the right-wing neocons that are warhawks. I don't think you'd say, you'd find anybody that said, yeah, we need to start this war in March because Iran was going to nuke Columbus or something. That was never going to happen. No. But in the end, if it works out, and Iran is a little weak, you know, well, by any measure, Iran is going to be much weaker. at least for the next five to ten years, because it's going to take them that long just to rebuild what we destroyed. And I don't think that's a bad thing. That's all I've said ever since this war came out. You're not going to get me to defense starting it because there probably wasn't really a need to do it, to be honest with you. Well, if you remember the early days, and we just have to monitor them. If you remember the early days, when they were talking about having this prince, Reza Pahlavi, go back in and become the new Supreme Leader, the new ruler, the new Shah. That was a silly pipe dream. The guy hasn't been there in 47 years. You know, he's got, of course, tremendous support among the Iranian community that was exiled, but he wouldn't be accepted in that country. So there have been a lot of silly discussions along the way here. And again, most discussions that we're having now are framed in the construct of, I love Israel, I love Trump, I hate Trump. or I'm really looking at the United States best interest. Now that's last group, that U.S. group, that's the smallest group, it seems. They're not represented very well in media, certainly not on Fox or CNN. They're not represented very well in the government. I mean, this fight between JD Vance and the rest of the cabinet, you know, mix in it up. And if you look now at, again, just go back and look at the picture of Howard Lutnick standing behind Trump. He looks like he looks, he's just shooting daggers. So, you know, you've got those folks all. discombogging, you know, all working for their own angle. And then you've got these pundits, whatever their platform or expertise, that are framing this in terms of their relationship with Trump or something. How about this? Let's step back, take a breath, and just look at the facts. Let's just take a look at it. Let's not assume, for example, that $300 billion announced in this MOU means that...

uh... let's say saudi the u a united states are going to give them three hundred billion dollars to go refresh their drone and missile factories or you know to go restock their anti-aircraft equipment that would be stupid so i don't think that's going to happen that is what obama did he just gave them cash but remember he just flew the title the cash over exactly and and so they could use it for any purpose including letting the huthies harass the seas but But why would he do that? Well, the same reason is supported the Muslim Brotherhood and the Arab Spring. That was his mission in life. Now, that's not Trump's mission in life. And again, looking at the way Donald Trump has done deals and think about the Abraham Accords and other things had been done. What he did down in Venezuela, you know, alarming. At first, right? But pretty well executed and look what's happening now. It's going extremely well. Trump isn't the guy that's going to run in there and just throw cash around so they can go rearm and start attacking water and oil infrastructure across the Middle East. He's not going to do that. So let's wait until we get the details and find out what they are. When I read the language I just saw... uh... you know the u s agrees to ensure financing of at least three hundred billion i suspect it'll be much more for the rehabilitation and economic development of iran That's financing. It's not $300 billion of cash to go buy AK-47s and RPGs. So the $300 billion to me is the actual big thing, right? That's the hook that gives them a reason to come back into the community a bit, to stop being constantly disruptive because they have a chance to get real infrastructure investment that they desperately need. Everybody knows Tehran's running out of water, right? They may have to move the city, right? They may have to move the city, but if they move it, they've got to move it to somewhere with water. There is infrastructure investment that's desperately needed in a country that spent 47 years under incredibly harsh sanctions. Its only relief was Obama. So I think that, I think this $300 billion may be the key to hooking them and taking this from an MOU, which is a good point along the path to a deal. from an MOU to an actual full executed deal that could be successful. Now, if that doesn't happen, if it just can't happen, Israel won't allow it, so they keep bombing and killing Lebanese. You know, the Iranians start bombing and killing people in, I don't know, Kuwait. If that's what happens, well, then this is going to turn back into a war, and it's going to be hot. Now, how hot? Well, again, we know we're not going to deploy forces into the country. We're not going to deploy ground forces. I don't think anybody thinks Trump is going to do that. So what are you looking at? Well, you're looking at, you know, moabs. You're looking at, you know, all the bunker buster types, wherever those are needed. You're looking at regular bombs. At some point.

you're looking at bigger weapons. And we just don't ever want to get there. So I think that it is not one party has an interest in ending this and the other party thinks it's a great idea to keep this going at the loss of $400 billion a day. I think both sides have an interest in getting to a deal. I don't think anybody's naive about what Iran's nature is and how they negotiate and how things work. I don't think anybody's naive about that. But at some point, we either have to make the decision that we're going to obliterate that nation or we're going to come to a deal. There's no middle ground. So, or we just keep this going for four years. In light of everything that's happened, I think what this last three, four months has shown us is we thought we had friends in the world. And when we needed these friends to step up and maybe help us keep the straight open and stuff like that, none of them could be bothered. We didn't even need the oil from over there. Most of our oil is here in Canada. We produce enough in this hemisphere to more than survive. The people that did need the oil were the Asian countries in Europe. Right. And none of them, none of them lifted a finger to help us out during this whole conflict. Well, but we don't know. So the lesson that I take from this is I think it's time to tell NATO, you know, we're going to give you three or four years and we're basically pulling out of Europe. We'll leave a shell force there. I'd give me a three or four minutes. But... But your point is right, but it doesn't mean that they're not behind the scenes right now applying whatever pressure they have because those economies of Europe have certain structural problems since the globalist decided to basically undermine their own countries. So you've got problems there. China is running, its TikTok is running out on this reserve it has. So they've got to be raising the pressure that they're enforcing to get this deal done. There was a reason Trump went to China. We don't know what happened there. But there was a reason he went there, and the timing was oddly, you know, predating this MOU. So I think that we could be seeing tremendous help from other countries that will never be visible, putting pressure on Iran, telling them you've got to agree. We'll see. And if not, unleash the beasts of war. Well, I hate to see that. I don't want to see any. I'm tired of our boys going overseas and dying for other countries. And I would have no problem with us. just pulling our troops out of most of the rest of the world, build Fortress America and call it a day. I know isolationism is not a good thing historically, but maybe it's time to give it another try. Well, it's a point, but remember, in our lifetimes, we have had U.S. forces all over the world. None of us know what the world would be like in the absence of significant U.S. presence overseas. Now, we look at somebody like this, Victoria Newland and all these lunatics and what they did in...

in the Donbass and all these bio labs they did around the world. We're saying, you know, this seems to have gotten a little out of control. They've used our money and our name to do things that they probably shouldn't have done. But it doesn't necessarily mean that just because Victoria Newland has a bloodlust, we have to go off and withdraw from everything. And there's no question that in many ways we've been a stabilizing force. And so I'm not so sure that we need to just withdraw to Fortress America. I think maybe we need to remain engaged, but we need to do it in a more, in a smarter way that is more aligned with the interest of the American people and less aligned with the interest of these globalist lunatics who control our government. And that is, you know, you look at the Department of State. We think those are patriots. Look what they've done. You know, where's this $40 trillion gone? We have an extraordinarily corrupted government. And, you know, Trump has not been very effective at calling that swamp. He just hasn't been. Look what I'm with Doge. We got almost no cuts. What, $9 billion out of $2 trillion? You know, that's nothing. So. So I think that we've got a lot of problems, but it doesn't necessarily mean we chuck the system. If we can fix it, let's fix it. If we can't fix it, it's going to melt down, and we're going to end up not just with wars in Iran. We're going to end up with problems in this country that look like what we're seeing in parts of Ireland and parts of Europe where we're losing our own nation and we're going to basically be fighting in the streets. Well, the debt in the whole world, not just us, but even the rest of the world, is alarming. If there's ever going to be a black swan event, that's probably it. All right. Thank you, Rich. Appreciate it. You're on here. Yes, hi. Ron G2. How are you guys doing? Great. I'm happy today. I'm happy that we have a deal, and my dislike of Trump is subsided. It's not a deal. It's a memorandum of understanding. Right. I think Trump is beginning to turn around the supertanker, U.S., and it takes time, but I have a lot of confidence in Trump. And unlike Frank, I'm very bullish on the market. And as I agree with rich, it's only down 1% today. And if it goes down 5%, it won't concern me. If it goes down 20%, you get into correction territories, then it might get my attention. But getting back to Frank, he said he bought stock today. What he wanted to do, he should have taken advantage yesterday of options on SpaceX. The first day of trading options on an IPO presents enormous opportunities. And I'm thrilled with the trades I made yesterday. I took advantage of opportunities. And as far as shorting stocks... He was talking about shorting stocks. I haven't shorter the stock for 20 years. It's a dangerous proposition unless you have inside information and then you're responsible for paying the dividends on that stock from the person who you borrowed it from and other fees. It just didn't work out for me, so I haven't done that in 20 years.

And I have a quick question for G2 later, but one more thing. You cannot short SpaceX. I'm like Frank saying you can. I called my broker today Schwab, and they're restricted from, since they were involved in the IPO, a rollout, they're restricted for 30 days because of a conflict of interest in taking part in shorting that. that stock. So you can't, it's non-marginable. So I think Frank was wrong on that point. And like I say, it's a bad, it's a bad idea to short stocks anyway. I'm very bullish on the rest of the year on stocks. I'm happy today with the Fed. They could have raised rates today. I'm happy that they held rates the same. And I think we've got a good outlook going forward and if Trump doesn't make any more blunders. And one other quick point. I'm heading down after this call to my favorite place in Youngstown, the Jewish Community Center, so I'm not anti-Semitic. I go there every day. So even though I knock and I tell my Jewish friends, we have disagreements, but not with you. You're my friends. I might have disagreements with your government and NetJahu and how the policies are going in Lebanon. As far as the Jewish people, I have no problem with them. So now my question for G2, I don't know if you've heard about on the SpaceX, Elon Musk, putting the data centers, or they should be called computing centers, in outer space. Of course, I know that they've got a prototype design for that. And, you know, obviously the cooling question is answered. It would be interesting to see how they will convey that data back down or the results back down to the surface and how that's also going to transfer energy down through microwaves and such. I mean, that is really quite a unique, advanced next stage of technology, but when it happens, or even when just we have the normal advancement of technology, the way it's been advancing since the dawn of this computer age. We may be sitting on a real problem with these data centers, and they could just be a nation burdened with white elephants that are very expensive. Do you think the data centers on Earth or the data centers in orbit? On Earth, I mean, if they get to putting them up in orbit, those are going to be working, right? They may do one and test it. They'll do another one and test it. But if they ever go to mass use, you know, significant scale use of data, you're right, it's not data centers. They're computing centers. They're computing centers in orbit. Well, they're going to work. I'm not worried about that. And by the way, they'll be owned by somebody else. But these data centers that are being built in communities across the United States, there's a risk with these. Hold that thought. Hang on for a second caller. Back with G2. Ron Verb, News Radio 570, WKBN here tonight, till 7. News Radio 570, WKBN. All right, let's see. So.

Any other comments for the call? I guess we were talking about the data centers, and I watched the interview with Elon Musk and one of his lead engineers, and they're confident that they said within 30 months, they're going to have one up and running, and then they're going to bring them to scale. And what I found fascinating, you know who the lead engineer is on SpaceX? No. Elon Musk himself. Oh, yeah. I don't know how he does all of this stuff. He's doing that, and he works along with the other engineers, but it all comes from that guy's brain. And it's fascinating. And like G2 said, other people will, they're running the data centers now, the one in Memphis, Tennessee, Anthropic is paying Elon Musk. of 1.5 billion a month to use that computing center for their AI, training their AI models. So he's generating revenues there. But see, there's an important question there. So you take a company like, you know, Open AI or Anthropic or what are these, you know, trillion dollars, they're all, one of them's 1.4 trillion theoretical valuation. Do they own the data centers? Do they have a revenue model at any reasonable timeline that will justify their valuations? These are questions for the companies. But for the communities that are housing these data centers, you know, we've talked extensively about the energy draw, the water draw. We've talked a little bit about the land. I went by a data center site just yesterday. This beautiful black, loamy soil that should be growing food that's been pushed to the side because they're covering the site with gravel and they're going to build a data center. How long will that data center be really useful? It'll be obsolete the day it starts, right? The day they build it and turn it on, it will already be obsolete, as is often the case. All right, so who owns it? If it's owned by some LLC and not by the Anthropics or Open AIs or SpaceX, if it's owned by some other company and they lease it to the Open AIs. And Open AI doesn't need it anymore. At what point do those payments cease? And what do you do with the data center that's left behind? So I think this financing, the ownership structure, any kind of guarantees the length of the leases for the company that's going to use the processing capacity, and then the decommissioning. These are critical elements that these communities have to know. And I wonder if the townships and counties and even the states that are doing this are thinking about those things, because this is like the gold rush. You've got to put a data center anywhere where you've got a cornfield, some in the brown fields, but most of them are going into farms. And then you've got to destroy more farmland for the power supplies. And so...

So where is this long-term play? How is it structured? These are questions that no one's answering. And when you ask the questions, there's a one-word response. China. We'll see. Well, the answer is we'll see. We'll find out when it happens. Right, right. And then they say, no one knows. Do you want to live in a world dominated by China? Wait a minute. Hold on. Let's put China to the side for a minute. What is your demand profile for your data center in 48 months? Is it really going to still be used? Are you going to be constantly upgrading it so that never becomes obsolete? What is this plan? I think we have to get these answers before these things are built and become, again, the white elephants that the taxpayers then have to take over and dismantle as superfund sites effective. Or even as technology changes, right? That's what I mean. The technology will absolutely be it obsolete or not. If they're up in space, they're not killing farmland. Put them up in space. I'm okay with that. But if they're still down here, the technology can change and make them obsolete or small. Absolutely. So if the technology changes, they are obsolete. Maybe the water usage is dramatically lower. The electricity uses lower. So the cost structure is lower. Well, they're going to build a new one, and the old one's going to be sitting somewhere in some township, and everyone's going to sit around and say, what do we do with it? Well, are these single-purpose facilities? Can they be repurposed or used as? as warehouses for other industry or manufacturing? Because they're built specifically for those data centers with the cooling systems. Cooling systems, power systems, and inside structure, lighting systems. All right. Thank you, my friends. Back with more after this. Saturday, 8 to noon. News Radio 570, WKV. 435 in the afternoon. News Radio 570, WKBN. Hello there, Ron Furb from the Kingdom of Mahoning. I am, 76 degrees. on this Wednesday afternoon here on Tiffany Boulevard in Boardman. G2 joins me in his studio. He snuck out of his bunker, deep underground, and on this closed location. You feel safe? I feel pretty safe here because of the bulletproof glass and concrete barriers. It'll lock doors. Yeah. Yeah, well, you should feel safe. All right, and onward we go here. We're talking about the big... Memorandum of Understanding. And we just know some of the details today because I didn't get a chance to watch Trump. And I just found it interesting, though, to look at Trump. And it's a little bit hoarse and Howard Lutnick's standing there almost like he's in a... Like a hostage video. Yes, that's what I'm thinking. And Marco Rubio is standing there like... Can I go now? Yeah, Marco Rubio's thinking, I don't know, my financial backers are looking at me less likely for 28 now. And then you got Trump saying, okay, when it comes signature time, I'm not going to do it. I'm sending JD Vance. That gives me an out, right? I think it's smart. I mean, I think it's the right guy to send. JD Vance is the right got to send. And look, the whole administration is riding on this thing. So if JD Vance... Why do you think he did it now? Is he concerned? Do you think he did this because he's concerned about the midterms? He's concerned about inflation. He's concerned about the polling and stuff. I mean, why now? I think that...

Trump has, I think, you remember back when he said I had better polling in Israel than I have in the United States? Yes. I think he thought that was somehow funny or cute or was endearing or we'd be impressed. I think he found out from their reaction to that that people's response was, well, that's because you're serving Israel's interest more than ours. And that's the feeling that a lot of people have. Now, I know really smart people who tell me that's not true. That, you know, Trump is the man. He's in total control. Everything's playing out as he says it will. Fair enough. Okay, fine. I mean, we all have our perspectives. He clearly is shifting and pivoting back to the American agenda. Well, that's where JD Vance was at the beginning of this war back in February. So, you know, you send JD Vance, the guy who's there because he wants this war over, and he's going to negotiate on the Americans behalf. But I definitely think that there's a bit of a pivot happening right now, you know, and Trump is sort of reorienting back to the issues that are important. Remember when he attacked all those social media guys, all the reporters and all that, right? Yeah. Their numbers went up and his went down. I think he knows that now. And I know, I know. Because he pays attention to it. Well, I know for a fact that he was given a lot of fake polling. I know that. I'm not guessing. So I know he got a bunch of bad numbers. But at this point, he can't ignore it anymore. He thought he was going to put them out of business by calling him stupid or whatever he called him. It didn't happen. Their numbers got better. More people started listening. His numbers got worse and reached really a desperately low number. So I think he's kind of realized he's got to pivot back to the American agenda. And inflation and oil prices. Which is all part of that, right? And now oil today is down to, you know, under $80 a barrel. Last time I looked, I think it was, I think Brent was at 78. I know I filled up on the way into the station today. It was 50 cents a gallon. Wow, that would be, imagine the economic revival. That would kick off, right? So, yeah, like right now, West Texas is at 7570. So, you know, like the numbers are getting better. Obviously, the oil markets think this MOU is a good idea or has a chance of ending the... But he keeps saying that if they don't adhere to it in 60 days, we'll go back to bombing. And they know that's true because he's going to have no choice. If they break this deal, if they screw this up, he's going to have to go really... I mean, it's not going to be the same kind of bombing. He's going to get more aggressive, and Israel's going to be unleashed, and then it's going to be civilian casualties. With G2, you're on ear. Hello. Whoa, fellas, interesting shows. I'm sorry. First time caller, I assume. Yeah, I'm called Matthew Dula. Okay, go ahead. Oh, yes, probably Rock Creek, Ohio, yeah. Yeah. What are the odds of you being in Rock Creek? Slim and none. G2, you really came out firing, but I appreciate you.

Keeping a name calling down to a minimum, you know, only a few don't like the country and traders and crazy. I appreciate that. What about me? I thought I came out firing, too. Wasn't I on fire? Well, I'm not paying you no attention. Or wasn't it? So he came out firing, and for me it was like a dribble. Well, I was done with you when you talked about you and your better half having a memorandum of understanding. Yeah. Okay, well, that's just like I heard G2 say that. companies negotiate and this and that, that's what he's doing. Well, listen, man, companies don't throw bombs and kill each other. So you don't have an agreement with your better have. She has a bomb and she will kill you. I don't hear it. But I have to get serious. You know, I feel as so just after your comments, sir, that my entire manhood was removed from me by your call. I mean, it's totally... I'm transgendering with your call. I don't know about G2, but I had two girls. I lost mine, too, so get in line, man. What I'm saying is, uh, strip me of my man card right there. I feel like you guys are. Trying to gaslight people. You know, two things. Yeah. The first thing is it's so typical Trump. But, you know, you guys are so far in the Trump, you won't see it. Now, the president signed something virtually. Okay? Then he says, well. Can't nobody say it till Friday? We're going to have to have a ceremony. Whatever you want to call this Friday was an agreement or whatever, right? Juneteenth, incidentally, on Juneteenth. Yeah, what did he do? What does he do? He takes and leaks out stuff. And then people that support him start going on Fox, you know, the Sean Hannity's, start going on talk radio, you know, like the verbs. And they defend him even before he shows up beside it. That is so typical Trump. But I'm used to that. But what the thing that really kind of gets me. And I, you know, I know you guys are some good people, you know, and like I said, G2, you know, you know a Democrat you can talk to, and I'm going to listen to you after I say what I say. Now, I hear people bragging. Well, you know, whatever it is, $360 million or whatever, you know, it's not going to cost the American taxpayers a penny, right? And I have to say, are you crazy?

Didn't you see $5 a gallon gas? Of course, not somebody called you and said it wasn't five dollars. Have you been to the store and bought hamburger? It costs as much as minimum wage. Have you been buying stakes? When he started this war, he destroyed our economy. Please do not say it did not cost the taxpayer. He spent $2 billion a day. Who's going to replace that? Us. I'm sorry, go ahead. You make an important point, although the inflation discussion, I understand where you're at, and it's where the zeitgeist is, but inflation right now is below 2% if you look at the real data. So that's a more complicated conversation. But you make a really important point. You know, in 20 years of war, the United States taxpayer paid zero dollars because for whatever reasons... While the $40 trillion was being printed, nobody saw much inflation until Biden got in there. And so we went through all of those years of war. And while we lost about 15,000 people in that war, which of course is a terrible tragedy, but by comparison to something like Gettysburg, World War I, World War II, Vietnam, these were incredibly low losses. And our country now... is 300 million or 340 million depending on the start or finish of this war so you know back in world war one everybody knew somebody back in in the civil war everybody knew somebody in this war people might have known someone who was injured or lost a limb but they survived not many people knew somebody or lost a personal family member so we didn't really feel the cost of blood in this in these wars in iraq and afghanistan In treasure, we didn't feel it at all because it all went on the credit card and we didn't feel the inflation. This war in Iran because of the impact on oil is the first war that the American people had to pay a price for immediately and every day during the war. And look at the reaction. Suddenly when we're paying for it, we don't like war anymore. And so there actually is a benefit to us in that we've had to pay more. And that benefit is that we actually feel the impact. We don't feel it in human loss because we've lost a few soldiers and sailors in certain ways. But it's been an extraordinarily limited number given the scope of this fight. But as soon as we feel it in our pockets, suddenly we all want this war over. It's very unpopular and it has to end. If the price of gas hadn't gone up, if the price of diesel hadn't gone up, if this oil price hadn't gone up, we'd be sitting back with most Americans saying, oh, look, another video game. They're having a war somewhere overseas. What's wrong with that? Why? Do I have to get hitting the head with a two-by-four? Now, go ahead. Yeah, well, because if we don't get hit and they're too-by-four, we don't react. You know, so we allowed these... We'll, exactly. We allowed these, it's exactly right. We allowed these wars to go for 20 years and never took a hard look at why. Then we find out, oh, the weapons of mass destruction was a lie. We find out Iraq won, the whole basis of that Kuwaiti thing was a lie. We find out that in Afghanistan, we send in, you know, the U.S. forces to go find bin Laden. He's sitting in Iran, you know, and then eventually in Pakistan, all a lie.

And so we never really had to take a hard look at it because we didn't feel the cost. We had some cool movies. We had, you know, lots of towers to tunnel and things that we could do to try to help those that came back injured. But we didn't really feel it. This war, we felt day one. And it wasn't very popular. I appreciate what you said, right? We've got to disagree on this one, man, because I'm tell you, I ain't liking it. You have a nice day. Well, I'm not liking it. But I can see the difference in public opinion when the public has to actually pay the cost, in whatever way, for the wars we wage. Thank you. All right, thank you. You're on here. Hey, I don't understand you guys. I wish you would just read The Order of the Deal, and liberalism is a mental disorder, so these people that call you get it. They're a mental disorder. All right. What I'm saying is... If you read what I read, the way Trump works, he shoots with the stars, he bags the eagle, and he doesn't eat crow. So, you know, when he went after all this, he wanted everything. Just like when he does his bill, he wants everything. Well, you know, Save America Act and everything else. And if you understand Trump, you wouldn't be complaining. I mean, I know you need a subject on your radio. And, you know, you need these people calling in with stupid questions and stupid responses. But, you know. Listen, we say that for you. He's brilliant, Ron. And you know, I just feel bad for you and other people that don't get it. He's just read. But be specific then. So what is it you think we're missing? What point did we make that you think was just smoke? Okay, all right. Let me be specific. Everybody thinks Trump doesn't know what the hell he's doing. Well, he does. He knows every step of the way because like when he works out a deal, he shoots for the eagle. He wants everything. He bags a pheasant and he doesn't eat crow. And that's what he's doing with this deal, with all the deals he's been doing. And so you're saying you think going into this war was a good idea. You think that, okay. All right, now here's my question for you. What is your perspective on the situation in Lebanon? I mean, are you okay with this? I mean, entire villages being wiped out? Trump chewed them out three times, GT. Did you hear that? Well, here's a question then. Should we deploy forces to Lebanon to defend the Christian villages that remain? No, no, no. No? No, no, no food, no, no, no boots on the ground. Let me tell you what we can do, okay? Syria hates Hezbollah. Okay? we can make a deal with Syria to come in and clean them out. Well, but the Hezbollah thing, when you blow up a building and say there might have been a Hezbollah person in there, but you killed 700 people or 400 or 200 or 200. No, no, no. No, I don't agree what Israel did. 100% what you're saying? So how do we stop this deal? Now, if they violate this deal, what do we do? Do we just let them take Lebanon? No.

Do we do, how many more Christian villages have to be wiped out in the name of Hezbollah? Zero, sir. Okay. So I agree with you on that. I think you're dead right. This Lebanon thing was the side show we weren't supposed to pay attention to, and it's got to be stopped. And I have a lot of people that go to my church here, St. Marion's, you know, where Ron doesn't want to eat the food at the, you know, Maronite Festival coming up. I can't stand that Lebanese food. Oh, it's great food. Ron, shut out. Okay, don't talk like that. I got to admit, Ron, I've eaten a grape leaf now and again, and I like it. Really? Something's wrong with you. Ron, let me tell you something. Yeah. I understand your taste of food is mashed potatoes and milk, okay? But... Yeah, and I need gravy, though, mashed potatoes and gravy. No, no, milk. No, not milk. Because you're hungry. I'm going to tell you something. If you would give up your Lebanese food, if you came over my house and my wife made a roast beef dinner with roast beef, gravy, mashed potatoes, and corn, you would say after you tasted that, And taste of the gravy, the mashed potatoes, the corn, and roast beef. You would give up this kibbi and all that other garbage you're eating. You would give it up. Yeah, you would give it all up, Bubba Ginoosh. The Lebanese food would go away just on that one meal alone. One meal alone. If you would come over, which would be a nightmare to me, for Thanksgiving and enjoy this turkey that she makes. that is so good with mashed potatoes, corn, gravy, and her mother's stuffing recipe, you would give up all your Lebanese food. Do you hear what I'm saying? Yeah, but that's nice. She does that after you call a ball and chain for the last 30s. I'm telling you when you're telling me that I'm talking, just because I won't eat that food that you tried to force on me, and I said, I can't. By the way, I didn't force it on you. Yes, you were. You came to the festival. You were very intimidating to me. You were extremely intimidating. I felt as... I'm not intimidated. Yes, you were very intimidating. You were smoking a cigarette, flexing your arm. Flexing my arms, okay. Yeah. And I had a pack of cigarettes in my shirt. Yeah, rolled up in your shirt, in your shirt sleeve shirt. Yeah. You looked like Fonzie to me. Fonzie, yeah. Okay, any of intimidate. Listen. Yes. That food is the healthiest food to eat. It's MAGA food. It's MAGA food. Yeah. I'm just saying... It's MAGA food. Yeah. I'm saying you'd give it all up for that roast beef dinner. I'm telling you right now. No, I wouldn't run. I'll even throw in her meatloaf. I'll throw that in, too. You would... So listen, I like lamb. Okay. Stand by, please. Stand by, please.

Maybe instead of Bubba Ginoosh, I should have named him Shish Kababab. That sounds even better. Park Radio app. 570 WKBN. All right, Ron Furb with G2 and Bubba Gnush on the line. Do you have any other thoughts to add to the program? Well, no, not to end the program. You won't let me talk. You keep on doing your dialogue for three hours. What is it that you want to contribute? All right. First of all, Gitu, the reason I want this, I want him to go in and do that to these guys is because they've been persecuting Christians and Lebanese and Americans killing Americans as well. And they have proxies in the United States. And Ron doesn't get this, that they're a threat to the United States because they've got proxies here. You're talking Iran, right? You're talking Iran? What? Are you talking about Iran? Yeah. Okay. So I'm glad he went in there and pounced on him. I mean, I want him to pounce a little bit more, but I guess he cares about the 90 million people, so. Okay. Is that it? No, that's not it. I like Lebanese food because it's healthy for you. And, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, and it's good tasting and, hold on. And, uh, And it's inexpensive if you know how to make it. Mm-hmm. I would rather eat Chinese food every day. Really? I'd rather have General Sau's chicken than anything Lebanese. Yes. You mean with that cat meat? No, that's a terrible thing to say. I would have orange chicken first. You understand before? All right. The thing about that Chinese, it comes with Maltai. You could drink that Maltai. And that stuff will put you in the hospital. I'd rather have chicken fried rice than... uh kibby really yes that's not nice wrong i'd rather have a chili dog how about milk and mashed potatoes love it thank you for your call that's what i thought i think he's really upset if i slip him one one homemade for my wife roast beef dinner his whole life would change Well, you know, it might. I have to leave the house when she's cooking it because I'm like a dog. You know what I mean? It's like, my tongue is out. It's like, oh, when's this is going to be done? You know, I have to go out. I have to go somewhere. That's like hanging around when they're cooking Thanksgiving. Yes. I'll be like, wait, I can't eat it yet. How long do I got to wait? How much longer is this? I just saw pumpkin pie. It's going down. Three four hours. Wait for who to come? Wait a minute. No. You know what I mean? At least I went to his Lebanese Fest, you know, I mean. Which was, yeah. You know, I would at least, I was there. And you know who else showed up? A manual. Oh, did he? Yes. Yes. Yes. That had to be fun. It was. All right. News Radio 570, W.EQaeda and callers in the line standby. 330 72997. 330 72997. Ron, from the Kingdom of Mahoning till 7 o'clock tonight with our special guest. G2 with us as well on this day. We'll come back.

Davis, anchor of prime streaming weeknights on ABC News Live. New details surrounding the memo of understanding between the U.S. and Iran set to be signed Friday. The 14-point memo calls for an immediate ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon. It also reopens the Strait of Hormuz and begins talks on Iran's nuclear program. ABC's Jonathan Carl says Iran would get key sanctions lifted. The single most important sanctions were the sanctions that denied Iran the ability to sell its oil. on the international market. Now, they did sell their oil anyway through shadow fleet on the black market, but this cost Iran dearly. Now, immediately upon signing this, they have access to international oil market, something they have not had for many years under many different U.S. presidents. President Trump warned if Iran does not behave, military strikes could resume. The economic impact from the war is affecting interest rates. The Federal Reserve Board voted to keep interest rates unchanged, but signaled... rate hikes could come later this year. ABC's Elizabeth Shulsey has more. What we're looking at now is a drastically different outlook for the Fed in that at the start of this year and even at the last meeting, we were expecting interest rate cuts. Well, now the possibility looks more likely from many Fed officials that it could be going higher. In New York, a judge sentenced Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Hureman to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The 62-year-old husband and father in a deal with prosecutors pleaded guilty to the murders of eight. women starting in the 1990s, the majority of them sex workers. Their bodies were not discovered until decades later. Along the Gulf Coast residents are bracing for Tropical Storm Arthur, the first named storm of the hurricane season. Alert stretch from Texas to Georgia with life-threatening flash flooding possible. In Louisiana, storm preps are underway in Covington with homeowners and businesses filling sandbags to protect from the flooding. You're listening to ABC News. WKBN. All right, back to it. It's 506. It's a Wednesday, June 17th. It's a beautiful day here. I'm Tiffany Boulevard in Bortman, Ron Verb, from the Kingdom of Mahoning. 76, gorgeous out there, in his studio with me today on this day of the memorandum of what understanding is some of the details are released, right? Some of them, yeah. Wait a second, there you go. There we go. Yeah, we've got some details, or at least some outlines, some. general terms. Right. And then we shall see where it goes. In 60 days, he could go back to bombing. Or 30 days or five days. And the market's down today, and it has nothing to do with that at all. I'm surprised. The market is down today because of the new Fed chairman says they might raise interest rates, which I think is surprising. So right now, of course, the market's closed. It's down 73. So 0.97%, just about 1%, on the S&B. And oddly enough, on the same day, oils down, because usually, of course, when oil's been going down, the market's been picking up. Yeah, normally oil goes down, the market goes up. But it's all that Fed Sherman and what he had to say. Yeah, Kevin, yep. And look, you know, we've got a lot to learn about how this guy's going to work in this job. But I can tell you that from people who knew him, he is very smart. He is very reasonable. I'm hoping that he doesn't take the traditional Fed chair role of trying to crash the economy anytime a Republican takes over any kind of good policies implemented and support the expansion of government by driving rates down and pumping in liquidity when the government does things that will inevitably crush economic activity. All right, with Ron Verbin G2, you're on here. Ron? Yes.

I got to tell you, I agree with Bubba Ginoos. You got the palate of a three-year-old. You know, that's, I mean, hang on a second. I'm sorry, I know. I'm supposed to be helping you. I mean, for crying out loud, you're Italian. You are Italian. Exactly. I love all that food. I love the grief. I love it. You haven't had good kibbi then. When I go to the Italian Fest or when I go to the Italian, the food is wonderful. I partake of all of it. It's whether it's pizza or spaghetti or whatever that's, whatever's available, I absolutely enjoy it. But when he tried to get me on that. I don't know. What do you mean? What do you mean? I'm going to be in the palate a little bit. You need to try a little bit of lamb. You need to retry Kibby and your grape leaves. You get some lamb over rice over in Newcast. I like grapes. I like grapes. I don't eat the leaves. I actually eat grapes. The grapes are good, too. Yeah. But I got to admit, I used to think Kibi was cat food. I had no idea. It's so good with that garlic sauce, G2. Have you had it with the garlic sauce and that peppers? I've had it, yes. Oh, my God. So to help Ron's palate after the show, we'll go out, we'll find some Chulula sauce, put it on some Shwebel's bread, and we'll just try to spark a little palate out. Or I could just go out in a parking lot and eat some of the plants that are out there. You get the leaves. Why don't I just eat something off the tree like a giraffe? Oh, look at these grape leaves. We cut something off the gilly suit. Yeah, you know what I mean? But you have an expensive palate. boss lady I mean but you probably stick to your culture more than anything I just made crab cakes today and they were delicious is that you don't like crab either listen I don't know you got some food problems I would watch my wife like she would get crab legs and I would sit there and I said this is just too much work You know, you got to get the meat out of there and everything like that. And it was like performing surgery. Now, she loves it. Well, the secret is you use that fake pink stuff. Huh? No, I mean. Cracker. Great, because it's lump crab meat. You don't have to deal with all the shells. You just buy the lump crab meat. You make your crab cakes with that. But when she has crab legs, they bring it, you know, it looks, you know what I'm talking about. Here it is on the plate. And then it's like you've got to get the meat out of there. It's like you're performing surgery on something. Oh, it's hard work. And they get, you know, anytime you sit down to give you tools, you know, you're in for a fight. The only thing I find more disgusting than that is lobster. Oh, lobster's delicious. Oh, my God. I look at that, and I say there's no way you're going to put that crustacean on my plate and tell me, go ahead and have this. Absolutely not. It's absolutely delicious. Do you ever have a snake?

No. No. No. I haven't had that. I haven't had alligator. I've had alligator. Oh, alligator's delicious. Yeah. I don't want any of that stuff. So, you know, there's a thing called five-step snake, right? Which it bites you, you walk five steps, you're dead. That's why the Chinese call it five-step snake. And in the restaurants, some of the restaurants in China that serve snake, the highest turnover is in the snake handler job. The guy that's got to go out in the kitchen. It's like, you know, they never make it out of the kitchen. It's just like. That's the worst job in town. It is. What do they call snails? What's that? Escargo. I don't need escargo either. Yeah. That's the only thing I haven't really tried. I don't like that. I don't think I'd like it. I probably would, but I just don't, for some reason. I don't know what it is. I don't understand. I don't understand your hostility toward me today. I've embraced your culture. I've embraced spaghetti. I love spaghetti. I love meatballs, spaghetti and meatballs. Spaghetti, though, Ron. You sound so basic. I love pizza. I'm telling you what I... Okay, you know, basic. I love the sausage and peppers down at the fireplace. I love chicken parm. They said Italian. Chicken parm, that's good. Now, my wife gets eggplant parm. That's a thing I'm not going to ever... Yeah, it's that whole vegetarian thing. I shy away from it. The hell is that. I got to have something in there. It looks like chicken parm, but it's not chicken parm. I don't want it. You know, and that kind of stuff. But then again, you know, you go to, she, her husband's Puerto Rican and she eats a lot of Puerto Rican food. Okay, I make it too. Really? It's good. You got to try it. I just, I don't know. You're eating a potato. You're too white. I guess I am. I plead guilty, Your Honor. I plead absolutely guilty. You know what I mean? It's like... No, I got a question for G2, though, because I want to know what did he think about the UFC fights. on the White House lawn. Did you watch them? All right. So I will tell you that I've had different observations here. At first, I'm thinking, all right, fine. Who cares, right? I mean, it's a very Trump thing to do. I know a lot of people were all freaked out. I didn't much care. And then I watched him. It was a great show. And all the military there was great. And I don't watch UFC on a regular base. I've seen a couple things over the years, but the fights were great. The fights were really great. And, of course, we all know now Teddy Roosevelt did the same thing. So it's all supposed to be unprecedented and horrible. Look, you go back and look at Biden's, you know, gay parade at Christmas and tell me that, you know, you don't prefer the UFC. I mean. Well, if I had to choose the two, I would prefer. And it wasn't even, look.

As everybody knows, I mean, I don't have anything against gay people who, you know, I don't care. But when you look at the bizarre performances that they were doing in the White House during the Biden years, just to put it in your face that they want to change all it. I was shocked. Yeah. But these fights were fun to watch. I didn't know any of the fighters, but they were interesting. Joe Rogan, of course, is fabulous at calling these games, these fights. It was a great time. And there was a tremendous military presence there, which I think was, was really kind of cool. It was really good. It really was. Now that said. The Marine band? Oh, my God. The escort. And the woman, I don't know the one was it was saying, and I just didn't catch the details, but there was a woman in a military uniform. She was delightful. It was a great production. I was stunned. I was absolutely stunned. The stage, the whole cage they built, there was like 80 feet tall or something. It was incredible. Yeah, so. It was absolutely incredible. I'm glad you said that. I wondered how you thought since I had one snubbing his nose at me. Yes. For a whole week about this. Well, I was too. If he watched it, he would find it. I had zero interest in this, zero. And somebody said, hey, you want to take a look at that? I turned it on. I'm like, wow, that was fun. So you went into it with a negative attitude, came out with a positive attitude. I did. Absolutely. I did. Yeah. See, I just think it's sacred ground, and that's, and I'm not saying one deserves another. I just, that to me is when I want to see on the White House lawn pardoning Tom to Turkey at Thanksgiving. Well, you know, you'll get that. That, to me, is what its sacred ground is for. Or the young kids with the Easter egg hunt. I liked in Trump's first term when he had the young kid go out there and cut the grass and cut them a five. That was cool. I liked that. The best kind of child labor is, you know, kids cutting the grass for a little dollar to. And he gives a five bucks. Yeah, here's a fiver. Thanks for showing up. Well, listen to the hostility I'm getting today from the boss lady. I just had to give it to you on those. I mean, I'm totally. And to this. This fight. And you know what I loved about it the most, G2? Was that men have been demasculinized. Yes. For the last so many, this was like... Not so many years. I feel as I've been demasculized on this phone call. I feel as though it just happened to me over the last five minutes. I loved it. Oh, poor ball. All right. Tomorrow I'll be nice. If I call tomorrow, I'll be nice, but I had to give you something to that. Oh, no. Forget it. More than likely, I'll stop at a store and get a skirt on my way home. You know what? Maybe some leggings. There you go. Yeah, you would look great in Lulu Lemon. All of a sudden, after talking to you, that whole transgender thing, Biden had is starting to connect with me. Oh, God.

All right. Thank you. That's the boss lady there. She says, I need to expand my palate. Do you eat lobster? I do. I do. You've been to a bunch of these weird countries, right? Yeah. Yeah, I'll tell you what, when you're sitting beside a dirt road in the middle of Central Asia, you know, eating what they call it lamb. I don't know what it is out of a, out of like a grill like a little habachi. You know, you really have no, you don't know what it is. But it could be great or you could spend the next three days laying on a floor, you know. So, I mean, you've ate some weird stuff in weird countries. I ate something in China once. I still have no idea what it was. And it, you know. Didn't you ask what is this? There was no one spoke English but me. All right, so I was walking down the street. I was walking on the street in China one day because I had some phone calls to make. And it was in an industrial town, small town, well, small town for China. And there's these 200 people that are drinking crazy on the street corner like a little street party. So I go by and I wave and act like I don't understand what they're saying. They're calling me over. I keep going because I'm like, there were some real tensions between the U.S. and China at the time. It was a dangerous time. When I checked into a hotel, the State Department had them hand us a note saying, Get out of China now. Go anywhere you can go. Get out of China. We decided to stay. Well, there you go. There's a good decision. This should be a fun trip. So I'm walking on the street in this town. I didn't know it. But the host, let's say, that had asked me to come, had put out security teams looking for me. Couldn't find me. The last place they were going to look is in the middle of the 200 drunk people. So I go out and as I'm coming back, they're now more drunk. And they call me over. I go sit down. and we are having a great time laughing nobody speaks english one guy had a word another woman had a word they'd say it once in a while drinking their local beer which they're very proud of and just you know pounding this liquor and then and then they start feeding me this food from the grill I've never seen anything like, I have no idea what that is, but I know that the Chinese eat everything. So, you know, it... Did it taste good? Yeah, it was good, and it was well-cooked, which was critical, right? And so then this girl walks over, who's about 10 years old with her mother and father, and sits down and speaks perfect English. Now, at this point, I've had a little bit of this beer, you know, but I spin around, I sit down next door and I say, how are you? And she responds in perfect English. I'm fine. How are you? I was the first... native english speaking person she'd ever met she learned to speak perfect english from people in china who didn't speak English as their primary language. It was the most of her parents are glowing. The whole crowd's cheering on a conversation. I'm the safest guy in China. But the security teams were out looking for me, so I go stumbling back like an hour later. Are you okay? Never been better. What's going on? Well, you know, some attorneys said we've got to go find you. It was a fabulous time. So that tells you sometimes the difference between the government and the people.

Now, that same trip, I was walking down the street with some Chinese folks, and somebody saw me in another, you know, obvious American. It's not like they say, could he be from Germany or maybe he's Finnish. You just, you don't look Chinese. No, the Chinese look at me and go, oh, American. They look at you and go Bigfoot. A guy rides behind a bicycle and says, we should kill these Americans right now. And so this Chinese guy leans over, did you hear what he said? I'm like, no, I've no idea what he said. He tells me. So he's like, well, maybe we should, you know, steer to a new direction. But I could tell you more of these stories that go on a while. But it was absolutely delightful. And again, you start to see the difference between the people of a country and the government of their country. And these people were as kind and welcoming. We had a great time. Even though there was a really serious tension between the U.S. and China at the time. It was delightful. It was a blast. Really? Yeah, it was fun. And you felt safe. Oh, absolutely. I felt totally safe. What about in Vietnam? Well, the people of Vietnam, in my experience, love Americans. And, you know, like anywhere, there's some basic fundamentals, right? Everybody wants to be treated with respect. So let's start with that. And if you lead with that, you've got a chance of having a good time almost anywhere. And so, you know, I walked through cornfields that were basically... bomb craters, where you could tell they dropped about a 500-pound bomb. And they just planted corn down the slope across the bottom and up the other side. You know, I saw people that obviously had suffered the ravages of Agent Orange and other chemical weapons because you saw deformations that in no way resemble anything remotely normal. But the people of Vietnam treated us extremely well. And this is before Vietnam became a tourist. place. So it was, you know, there were a lot of people like me there. And, you know, I was talking to a VC officer who had spent about 30 years in the jungle, and he was explaining how he didn't know what money was. And he walks into a bakery and says, I need a, I want these baked goods. And they're like, okay, we need cash. He's like, he had no idea. He'd spent his whole life in the jungle. And the government provided everything because he was just a fighter, his whole life. And it was a fascinating discussion with him because he was talking about the Ma Lai Massacre, Misan Village. And he said, you know, you think that what those soldiers did was bad? Hold that thought. Back with G2 and some interesting stories and more of your phone calls. Ron Verb from the Kingdom of Mone here tonight till 7. News Radio 570, WKBN. Ron Verb with G2, so you are telling a story. So, you know, I'm talking to this VC officer at the time, you know, who lived in the jungle's whole life. And he says, you think this thing at the Mila Massacre was bad. But at the Citadel, we killed 3,000 of our own. And, you know, it just prompted this conversation about the horrors of war. And later I was talking to a guy that had been a South Vietnamese officer. And he had gone through the camps. And it was interesting to watch how nervous he was, how he wouldn't say a lot, but he would lean in close and say things like, you know, just in your ear, the only you could hear. And, you know, he still loved the United States and wished he'd have gotten out with some other folks. Now, roll forward. I was in a major city a couple of weeks ago with some people doing some things. And there's a Vietnamese store next door. So, you know, I wander over because they're looking out the window to see what everybody's doing.

So I walk over and I start talking to them. And, of course, they'd come here later, not in like 76 or 80. They came after 86. In 86, the Vietnamese economy came to America, you mean? They came to the U.S. in 92, which is, you know, pretty recent. And because I was in a major Democrat center and, you know, they're all afraid to say anything because they'll get harassed and they have a store so to lose their business. They'll burn it down or anything. So they, you know, when I went in and they kind of got to know, we had a conversation about Vietnam and they just started gushing about how wonderful the United States is. Not the first time I've had that experience with a Vietnamese who had migrated to the U.S., which is why I get so frustrated. that we let in these folks who say, well, I'm not going to learn English. Well, I'm going to make you adopt to me. I'm not going to assimilate. Elon Musk Omar is even a perfect example. These people that are running a little store in a major U.S. city making some money, taking some risk. Working their ass off. Working really hard. You can look at them and see it. And they are so much more patriotic than somebody like Ilhan Omar, who's been elevated to the United States Congress and sits there hating this nation and working against it every day. I'll take those Vietnamese over Ilhan Omar every day all day long. Don't you find a refreshing when you hear about the Japanese that are in Texas? Well, and they say this is incredible. The portions, the barbecue, the gas day. I mean, the people that are coming here from all these other countries are just amazed at American, how great it is. So about six years ago, I met a guy, I didn't know in Vietnam or anything. I just met him here. And he's Vietnamese. He came in in 76. So he was probably getting shot at as he left. And he got here in 76. He and his whole, watching what was happening in the Biden administration, him and his community had sold their homes. It was in North Dallas, sold their homes, moved out to a more rural area where they could see a farm where they could buy beef. They had wells. They were getting their own water. They had generators so they could power them because they said, we've lived through this once and we're not doing it again. What's interesting is because they had lived through the tyranny. of Vietnam after the 1975. Because they'd lived through it, they'd seen their friends go through the camps. They watched people escaping on these rickety boats just to get out to try to live. They saw that, so they value the United States at a level that some of the folks born here don't. Right. And when they see what's being done to this country, right now, what the globalists are doing, what's happening in our schools, what's happening to our children, what's happening in our government. The hatred of it. The

They are horrified. And, you know, the guy looked me in the eye at the end and said, I'm willing to fight. And I think he was pretty serious. Not a young man. He's ready to fight. So they moved to a rural area where they had, you know, the ability to see who was coming at him. They had a kill zone. They had access to water and food that they knew they could control. Because they were afraid. Well, they were prepared. They were preparing because they said, we're not living through that again. And they thought they saw similarities. They saw a lot of similarities. And, you know, as this guy's talking about the wonderment of the United States. It made the hair on my neck stand. I mean, it was just... Like you currently are seeing with all these folks that are in Texas and that kind of stuff. Well, it's like talking to the folks from Cuba. I mean, the Japanese just love the portions we have here in the gas station, and this is amazing. Well, you know. And we should realize what a great country this is. Oh, we really should. And we should defend it as citizens. And I don't mean. The wonder of Sam's Club when you walk into it. Oh, it's astonishing. I mean, if you think anything that you want. Back with G2, some more discussion calls coming up. We're here till 7. Ron Verb, News Radio 570. News Radio 570, WKVN. Well, a great Wednesday afternoon, June 17th, 75 degrees. It's a G2 in the studio. You were talking about how the Japanese in Texas clean up the stadium. Well, you know, when the New York Knicks won a basketball game recently, the citizens of New York decided to be a good idea to go, you know, like tear down five guys. They went into restaurants and attacked them. They destroyed things. They left trash all over their city. I don't understand. They used to this in Detroit all the time. Every time a Detroit team and win something, they go burn a bunch of houses. I don't understand why the reaction to a sports team winning an event, winning a competition, is to go attack your city. But that's what they do. Meanwhile, the Japanese are leaving some venue recently, I think it was a World Cup, and they've got trash bags, and they're picking up the garbage on their way out. They cleaned up their area. They cleaned up their mess. They didn't leave it, you know, the cultural difference of that, where we've become a country where, again, you're going to attack a city, destroy restaurants, and somebody else should clean it up. Walk away, you know. And after this mess in New York, the question I had is, why aren't the citizens out cleaning up their streets? Well, it's the government's responsible. Go clean your streets. The Japanese do that. The cultural difference is so significant. And I don't think, I actually believe that this cultural degradation that we have suffered is a long-term existential threat to this country. We cannot survive as a representative republic. We cannot survive as a free nation if the citizens don't engage. We cannot have nice things. if we don't protect nice things and we cannot survive if we allow our politicians to continue to print money and no one ever asks where it's going and and the citizens allow this corruption to go so far that that uh... we become economically unviable what are your impressions of some other countries you've been to

Well, you know, it depends on where you go. I mean, if you're thinking like Europe. Did you ever go to Germany before Germany has changed? Well, before Germany changed, yeah. I mean, you know, probably not the most captivating food, right? I mean, it's good, but, you know, it's not Thai or Vietnamese or Italian, right? Right. Not probably the most captivating, but efficient, clean, everything works. The people are great. uh... you know they always say inside every german there's a policeman waiting to get out there's some truth in that uh... you know it's it's a great place to be and when you're talking about technical issues i mean the genius of the germans is obvious which is why the industrial machine of germany is the sort of heartbeat of europe's economy and as they now chip away at that and weaken that they weaken the entire union you think the globalists are destroying the other globalists are destroying Germany, Ireland, period. I mean, this Pedro Sanchez down in Spain, giving 800 or 500, 500, different numbers, 500 or 800,000 illegal aliens, legal papers so they could travel wherever they wish across the union. So, you know, this guy in Spain decides to do this crazy thing. And these people that could be, you know, Hamas or Hezbollah, suddenly appear again in where? Sweden, Finland, in France, in Germany. This is insanity. No one in their right mind would do that to their country. You have to be corrupt. You have to be a traitor to do that to your country. Just as happened here. The four years that our government said, we're going to put down the border, we're going to help the cartels traffic children. right four years they did that that's treason And the people who voted for it and continue to support it, support treason. Well, it's like when JD Vance was on a view when I was watching some snippets on that when they're just attacking him. They don't attack Biden when the border was open and JD Vance was in when they were trafficking all these children. No. They didn't attack that. They're attacking him because they're going after these people and trying to get him out of this country that came here illegally. He's under attack for enforcing the law. It's incredible. I just saw Hakeem, Spartacus, what's his name, Cory Glover, whatever his name is, Spartacus, Cory Booker, Cory Booker. I just saw him on there explaining how, these people help our community, they're not a threat, and yet they're being harassed. That's not who we are as a country. You bet it is who we are as a country. I don't just want the illegal aliens who are criminal, violent offenders out of here. They all have to go. And the reason is really simple. They're citizens of foreign countries living here, working here illegally, in many cases voting here illegally, and that's simply not appropriate. They have to go. And when you look at 40 years of depressed wages, when you look at the impact that's had on the middle class, when you look at, we were talking this morning about the policies that drove the father out of the home in homes that are dependent on government.

You know, we always think of the black families. And that's sort of great society. Oh, yeah. You took, you know, the black children born out of wedlock went from, say, 40% to 75. You know, you know, the Caucasian community went something like, I don't know, 25 to 60 or something. And the Asians went from like four to four and a half. You know, it, it, they didn't change much. The way the, the government policies paid these families to be broken. And there's a language difference that happened that I noticed. I don't know if it's everywhere, but I noticed it in one place, where adult men stopped saying, this is where I live, this is my home, they started saying, where are you staying now? I'm staying over here. Where you stay? Now, I stay over there. And shortly afterwards, you started hearing the rise of the baby mama. Yeah, you stayed over there for a while. You left a kid. You moved on. Now you live over there. You left a kid. You move on. And each of those kids gets more money from the government. We created a situation that destroyed that nuclear family design, that weakened our urban communities. And now with fentanyl and so on, heroin, we've done this in the rural communities as well. These are government policies specifically put in place to destroy communities. Now you take these globalists that are destroying Europe, this Ursula von der Leyen. You know, this guy, Mers, in Berlin, you've got McQuan and his wife, whatever it is, in Paris. You know, you've got this idiot Keir Starmer. He is not the genius of Europe, right? But this guy is doing everything he can to destroy his country. By letting all these people into the country. Well, that's right. And now the European Migration Pack just got enforced. It just started last Sunday, I think. What's that? Well, that means that you as a European nation will take immigrants. as dictated by this group of tyrants in Brussels. You don't have a say-so. You have no say-so. And if you don't take them, we're going to find you. And I think the fine, people can look this up and verify it. It's something like $20,000 per illegal alien. You have to take them. They're going to force you to transition your culture. They're not bringing in people that are going to assimilate. They're bringing in people that you're going to have to feed and house. Then you're going to either give them work or continue to feed and house them for the rest of their life. You're going to pay their health care. You're going to pay for their children. You're going to educate them. You're going to change your schools from your nation to their language, to their culture. And then, you know, if you don't do it, the EU is somehow going to harass you. Now, there was a... Now, what's the agenda for doing that? complete transition of culture and country. You know, this Western... The replacement theory. The replacement strategy. Yeah. The replacement strategy is we've got these cultures in the West that believe that there should not be corruption in government. The government should serve the people. I think it's hilarious when people say to some government employee, I pay your salary. They don't care because they don't care what you have to say. So, you know, the...

The idea is that this culture in the West is one that expects a voice in government. They expect a government to be service-oriented, servicing the people. They expect corruption to be punished. They expect the rule of law. None of that is compliant with the sort of system, the feudalist system that these globalists want to impose. They want to impose a system where they sit on top, where they have absolute power, they have absolute wealth, and the peasants. are simply the useless eaters, the ones that they allow, as Bloomberg put it, we can give them three meals and a roof, and they can go off and live their little life. You know, there is a horrible hatred of this Western culture, and it's being destroyed all across Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. Which is a great culture. Why destroy it? Because it limits your power. If you want to go to Epstein's Island... you're going to have an expectation in our culture that you get punished well they like epstein's island they enjoyed going down there no one forced them to go they view you as lesser to begin with oh you're absolutely you're lesser just as the muslim views kaffir as lesser uh as other cultures you know view people as lesser the globalists view everyone as a peasant who isn't one of them So, you know. That's why it's going on everywhere, including the United States. Yes, and it's organized. It goes back a century. It's not new. You know, it goes back. It's why Biden opened a border. It's why our schools in many, many places, and maybe not in your school system, but you better check. It's why our schools now obsess about race and sex. You know, at third grade, there really is a chance that. Did you see there was a teacher that just got fired the other day because she had two of her, she was having her. female students kiss each other and raiding them that was happening in like i think it was a middle school i don't remember where but she just got fired and and they had to go through a process to fire she wasn't walked out that day right what world could you imagine where an american school would do that where you've got a teacher that's forcing the female students to kiss so she can rate them because she's a lesbian and she's taking them on her personal sexual journey this is bizarre stuff this would have never been allowed in our schools now she got fired she'd say well couldn't be allowed how did we get to a place that could even happen it was unthinkable 20 years ago right so we got our schools focused on sex sexuality and race splitting everybody up calling everybody a label you're a victim you're a victor you're a you're a or you're a victim you're an oppressor whatever you are And why are they doing that? Particularly the white race. You're a white supremacist. Oh, yeah. You're a racist. Oh, yeah. White privilege. Oh, right. I mean, you know, the white race is under constant attack. Well, and men. Let's face it. I mean, when the universities went to about 60% female enrollment. Think about that. It's not 50-50 or 51-49. There's a 20-point gap between male and female. Well, then you take all the set-asides for various races and ethnicities and nationalities, the preference to bringing in illegal aliens because they're exotic over Americans who are boring. And all of a sudden, if you're sort of an average white kid that's done pretty well in school and would like to get a college education, you're last in line. So you might be 35% or 30% of the population.

but you may only have 8% of the college slots available to you and no money. So there is a structural change that has caused a racism, a sexism, this bizarre focus in our schools on gender and race that is extremely destructive to this country. So we're not really a meritocracy, haven't been for a long time. We're not really capitalist, haven't been for a long time. Because what do you mean? Well, who decides what energy we build? Is it the energy companies and the consumers? Well, no, it's the federal government and their grant machine. Who decides what kind of car we drive? Well, the government's dictated electric cars, so you've got to get rid of the internal combustion engine. They go and they take out all the supply chain for these cars. You know, they have been stopped for the time being. Don't mistake. They absolutely intend to continue. So, and then the rise of tyranny. You know, this kill switch issue that Thomas Massie was working on, which I believe is one of the reasons that they had to take him out. This kill switch is an important change in the way we have a relationship with our government, because our government's now saying, I will have a switch in your car that I can turn off anytime I want. If you go somewhere I don't like, I'm going to turn off your car. If I don't like you, you don't have the proper social score, I'm going to turn off your car. Now we're getting to a point where these car companies are saying, we're going to make the consumer pay us to install technology in their automobile. that is going to evaluate them every time they get it. It's going to do a facial scan, and then it's going to go out and check whether you have a warrant. It's going to then evaluate your eyes and see if you might be drunk or sluggish or tired. Evaluate your movements and see if you're qualified to drive. And if it says you're okay to drive, well, then your car will work. And if you're driving and it, it changes its mind, your car is going to turn off. where are we in a world where our cars are going to be surveilling us and it's not just the physical characteristics these cars are going to be designed to surveil every word you say like your phone is now So there'll be no privacy. Like anything you Google search. Right. So the government will have the ability to listen, to monitor, to control everything you do in your car, which has been kind of a sanctuary for us. If you want to get in your car today and drive to California, go ahead. Oh, no. Not once they decide where you can go and how. You think this is crazy? We'll go look at England. where there are 15-minute cities, and if you go outside your zone, you may be shut down. You have to apply for a permit in China to go from one zone to another, or you have to go through a turnstool and put a little pass in in some cities, right? This tyranny is being rolled out all across the West, intense surveillance at a level well beyond what Google's been doing for the last 30 years.

Well beyond the dossiers that have been worked up our students when they take these surveys or these tests that are provided by third parties, they go into your school, they provide tests and surveys, the kids fill those out. That data is owned by the company. The school has a use agreement so they can access that data, but the company owns the data. We have companies going into our school and evaluating our children and building private dossiers on them that will stay with them for life. Who can get access to that? The government, anybody that pays that company can buy that access. The other day we were talking about Ireland and some of the Irish fighting to take Ireland back. Talk about it. Well, they've begun burning homes that are... Immigrants. They're designated for immigrants. They've begun counterattacking. When that... What brought that on? What brought finally brought the Irish to say we've had enough? Well, in Belfast, I think it's a Somali guy, but it's in the news. I can't remember. You know, he took an Irishman down and started sawing at him trying to cut off his neck, got off his head. And an immigrant. Another Irishman interrupted that with, I think, some kind of a sporting stick. I can't remember. There's a game they play. So he went up and he smacked him, stopped him. And, you know, that was what started that. And people say, wait, but this has gone too far. Now, remember, there's a report that just came out of the grooming gangs in Europe. Explain to people the grooming gangs. This is hard for people to imagine. These are people that come from, that they allowed into the country that just simply rape. women and children. All these people that they let in are young men. The vast majority of the people coming in to say Ireland, according to the Irish, are 25 to 35 year old adult men, you know, fighting and breeding age. That aren't assimilating. And they come with their culture. And they demand you, you go to their culture and then they get paid. So they're actually Irish citizens have been taken out of their homes so the homes could be given to a migrant. The Irish citizen paid his own rent. The migrants' rent is paid by the government. This is insanity. This is treason. And this is cultural destruction. And so this report, there's been a big, a long fight in the UK about these grooming gangs. And a lot of them are Pakistani. But they target English girls and maybe boys. And they go and they may befriend them a little bit. Maybe they give them a little treat or whatever. Eventually get them to a hotel. They gang rape them. And they tell them, of course, if you say anything, we'll kill your old family. Well, they've been protected by the government for years. This started in the 80s. But a report was just done that is estimating the number of English girls raped by these people at 250,000. Now, imagine a structurally industrial scale system that attracts either kidnaps or grooms these girls and then rapes them as children.

The parents can't interfere because if a parent says something on social media or comes and tries to interfere, they go to jail. They go to jail. And so you have a system where 250 English girls have been raped by these folks, mostly foreigners, right? And nobody does anything. The police protect them. The government says it isn't true. Then there's a vote in the parliament. They say, are we going to investigate this? And parliament votes, no. We're not going to investigate the grooming gangs because they're protecting them. A report gets done in any event, so a report has just been issued, and the estimate is 250,000 raped children in England, in the UK. And the government's reaction? Well, nothing. That's not a problem to them, because it's part of the plan the globalists have to destroy this nation. Now, who's the mayor of London? Well, that's Citi Khan. You think Citi Khan? He's been there for 10 years. You think he's done anything to rein in the grooming gangs? Nothing I've been able to find. You know, you've got now, I think it's done. Hold that thought back in a minute. News Radio 570 WKBN. Ron Verbe with G2 till 7 tonight's interesting discussion, maybe some calls, all that. We're here tonight till 7. 570 WKBN. Ron Verbe with G2, I mean, for a lot of people when you talk what's going on in Ireland, but finally they said enough. I mean, the Ireland, it's Ireland's taking back Ireland, is it not? Yes, it is. And the long-term plan for Ireland, and there's some documents around this, they call it a virtuous cycle of migration. And the idea is that they're going to bring in... All these people are bringing them all in. So they're about 5.4 so million people in Ireland, and about a third of them, I'm told, are now not Irish. Say it's 20%, 25. I think it's more like 33. All right, let's call it a third. But whatever. There's a lot of them. The plan is to double the population of Ireland bringing people in from places like India. So you're going to take it from 5.4 to 10 million people and everyone that comes in for that's all going to be all these foreigners. What is it about the Irish you don't like? What is it about India that these people so desperately want to get out? What is it about the people that are responsible for caring for Ireland that they're saying, oh yeah, bring in another 5 million people. Let's completely change the culture. Let's stamp out the Irish. And then I loved it when they went to the Irish guys and the German guys and said, hey, listen, we'd like you to go over to Ukraine and fight the Russian. Well, what are you going to do with the, you know, the 3,500 guys in the camp outside of town? Don't worry about it. They're going to be fine, right? The 35 guys that came from all over the world that are 25 to 35 years old, the 3,500 guys that are going to sweep into town the minute we're gone. You know, it isn't, it is a structural plan that the globalists have to fundamentally change Western culture. You know, the thing they hate more than anything else is this United States Constitution. That's why using tech and Google and flock cameras and all these things, they basically eliminate the Fourth Amendment now.

You hear now calls for certain kinds of speech to be banned because it's offensive. Hate speech, yeah. What is hate speech? Hate speech is exactly. There you get into it. It's exactly the speech that is protected. If it wasn't for uncomfortable speech, we'd have no reason to have a First Amendment. Right. But they now want to have an ability to decide whether what you're saying is appropriate or not. If it's not, it's going to be banned. You know, this idea of the constant assault on the Second Amendment, this constant move by cities, by counties, by states, and by the federal government, ATF specifically, to try to continuously take away more and more of our ability to protect ourselves. They know the Second Amendment isn't about hunting or target shooting. They know it's about tyranny. Right. You know, this globalist, these tyrants, they can't, they really can't abide by the Second Amendment or the First Amendment or the Fourth Amendment or really any of them, especially the 10th, which limits their ability to do things with the federal government. So they would really like to see that go away. That's basically what it's all about, right? And because they have such incredible political power. Well, as I said before, we didn't get a vote to say, let's open the border and let millions of people come in here illegally and let them stay. No. Did Congress vote on it? Did we vote on it? It just happened to us. And you paid for it, and you have to deal with the consequences. Right. And they would fly them out, as you know, in the middle of the night and put them in communities, not even letting the community know. And remember, it was just a couple of years ago that the CBP One app. They were putting them on phones and giving the phones to people from other countries who they didn't know who would just give them a first name in a country or a first name and last name in a country. And those people that would go into the CBP1 app and make a reservation that when they showed up to the border, they'd show them the phone and be let in. It's insane. Back with G2 here tonight till 7, News Radio 570 WKUN and Ron Verne from the Kingdom of Mahoning.

From ABC News, I'm Michelle Franzen. The Trump administration disclosing terms of the proposed memo of understanding between the U.S. and Iran set to be signed Friday in Geneva. It calls for an immediate ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, reopens the strait of Hormuz and resumes nuclear talks. President Trump says billions of Iranian funds could also be unfrozen. if Iran behaves. ABC's Jonathan Carl says the deal falls short, though, of the joint agreement made during the Obama administration on nuclear program. This is under the Obama deal. Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances, will Iran ever, no time limit, will Iran ever seek, develop, or acquire any nuclear weapons? So that is something that was already in place in the agreement. that President Trump ripped up during his first term. So there's going to be a lot of criticism of this agreement and a lot of it coming from the people that were cheering the president on when he engaged on this military operation in the first place. Iranian parliament member Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf in an interview with Iran State TV claiming Iran won over the great military power. The FBI continues to search for more suspects in the alleged drone plot targeting Sunday's White House UFC event. Five people have been charged. Authorities say more than 20 others may have been involved in the plan. That initial tip was given to the FBI by a local police department in Ohio after a mother of a 19-year-old suspect charged in these cases called because she was so concerned about him amassing all of these weapons and the concerning conversations that he was having online. And that led the FBI to then get a confession from him and search his phone and uncover this plot where they would have launched explosive drones at the actual fight and then follow that as people. were fleeing the South Lawn, they planned to position snipers who would take out high-value targets. ABC's Alex Malin, along the Gulf Coast residents bracing for Tropical Storm Arthur, the first storm of the hurricane season. You're listening to ABC News. Hots. What a great Wednesday it's been. Ron Furb, News Radio 570 WKVN. I'm honored to have G2 in a studio with me live and in person out of the bunker in an undisclosed secret location and in a studio. I say to you during the breaks, and I've said to you before, it is hard to convey the message to get people to understand what is going on in this world without sounding like a nut. Right? Without sounding like, is this Art Bell? No. Without sounding like it's not, and incidentally, Art Bell was right about a lot of things. Right. But keep in mind without sounding like an eye. So when you're saying, listen, listen, think about it. All of you listening, think about it. No one in this country voted on letting all these people into your country illegally. Your congressman didn't have a say so. It just happened. Biden just looked the other way. neutered the border and millions of people came into your country, you know absolutely nothing about. Millions of them. They were flowing to communities in the middle of the night. They didn't want you to know what was going on. And you were paying for all of this stuff. Who organized this stuff? Who wanted this to happen? And at the same time, this stuff is happening in Germany and in England. It's happening in the world. Why are all these people coming here from these other countries that are coming with cultures that don't assimilate to our culture?

Why do we change the laws? Why do we say, you know, when you talk about grooming gangs, you're talking about young men that are here that rape the women and girls of that community. That's what you're talking about. And you've talked about this for a long time. It's hard for the person out there listening to even imagine what's going on. But it's real in Ireland right now. It's reach a breaking point in Ireland, hopefully. There's some canaries in the coal mine. Right, but we're all in the same coal mine. And one canary was the wages, right? All of a sudden, productivity was growing, the economy was growing, but wages were stagnated. Now you've got inflation, and you've had it consistently just at low levels relative to the last four, these Biden years. But wages weren't growing as fast as inflation. Like how could that happen? So that's, well, maybe there's a problem. Yeah, because you're injecting. unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled labor into the workforce at a steady rate specifically to reduce wages. Okay, so we're at a war with the middle class. All right, but, you know, it's not like, we'll take your... A work that's, let's take your educated work and we'll ship it over to India. Or we'll bring that person over here and pay them less. Well, you do that and you export. So now we don't need you. Export all the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and everything else. To China. Yep. So all the high value jobs are going. But you're going to be a barista at Starbucks. So there's some, you see some things. They're saying, but this globalism thing, I've got to figure this out. It's not just trade, and it's certainly not fair trade where we're all working on an equal footing. It was a specific draining of the United States. Meanwhile, in order to keep this thing going, they just start printing money. They start printing money. Every time these globalist policies begin to disrupt the economy, oh, we've got to, let's do some liquidity, let's do some quantitative easing, let's lower interest rates. But as they're printing that money. Your lifestyle and status, your savings is declining. But you're getting cheaper TVs. Okay, so that's all right. Well, I like TVs. So we go through all this. Wait a minute. I saved all this for my retirement. Well, that's not enough anymore. Well, it's not enough now. Look at the inflation. Look at the value of what it is. And through that inflation, they've been eroding that value. And the Fed does say out loud. Your middle class lifestyle. Your middle class. Oh, yeah. And for the Fed to say out loud that we want 2% inflation, it's just shocking to me now as I hear it. I want zero inflation. I want zero. A matter of fact, given what's happened in the last decade, I take negative inflation. Oh, deflation is the worst thing ever. You know what? We had lower 2% inflation for the longest period of time prior to Biden. We never even talked about it. No. No. And what we should have said is, wait a minute, why do we have 2%? We need zero. Let's stop printing money. It's nothing more than the reallocation of wealth. Printing money is the reallocation of wealth, the redistribution of wealth, from the people that are paying for everything to the people who aren't, or from the people who pay taxes to folks that are in that government community, the NGOs, right? You look at these NGOs, look at the non-government agencies. Yeah, these nonprofits, as I call them profitable nonprofits. There's nothing more profitable in these things because they have to push all their money out. They have to show no profit, right?

They pay massive wages for executives in a lot of these nonprofits. That are politically connected. Absolutely. And, you know, the perfect example that we talk about all the time is Stacey Abrams and her $1.9 billion grant to buy energy efficient appliances for the poor. Wait, wait, what? She, the organization at last had been in existence for about, for a very short period of time, had no assets, no activity, no employees, they get a $1.9 billion grant. Just happens to be Stacey Abrams, who had run for governor of Georgia. And then in. Takes a big salary of what she's now. Well, she, she gave her law firm $20 million to be used to start her own businesses. So the money, you know, is just being stolen. So. So you see this wage problem, and you say, okay, well, what's that all about? And you start looking at this, and they make funny because you're saying, well, they're stealing our jobs, and okay, well, you know, they are. And then you go forward, you see something like the grooming gangs in Europe, and you're going, wait a minute. Is that coming here? Surely enough, probably more than a decade ago now, there were reports out of Minneapolis, of all places, right? We see the problems of Minneapolis, of these gangs that were called grooming gangs, which at the time I didn't know anything about. Well, there was a woman up there who noticed that there were men who were befriending these girls who were relatively typically poor, typically from broken homes, and they would buy them some gifts, some bibles, you know, give them some lipstick or whatever, then invite them to a party. And again, that's how this process works. Then you rape them, and then you tell them, hey, if you tell your parents, we'll kill your parents. The grooming gangs would occasionally get caught up by the law, and they would end up in court, but they would often win because none of the witnesses were able to tell. were able to testify against them. Out of fear. Well, when you look out in the audience, who's out there? All these people that worked in this grooming industry, in this child trafficking industry, they all are on government assistance, so they get all their benefits from the government, they get some money from the government, and then their cash business is the kids. So the people work at security, the people working in makeup and hair, all the people, the transportation guys, they're all sitting in the audience staring at the witnesses saying, I dare you. So it was very difficult to get a conviction, but this one woman in Chicago began. I'm sorry Minneapolis began fighting that and you know she was stunned that when she went to the police she found out they had no interest in helping so the point is what you see happening in Europe is here Now, it's going to get bigger here. It's not here as much because of two things. The Constitution and the fact that we actually took advantage of the Second Amendment and bought firearms. So the fact that we are an armed nation and that we still have constitutional protections, we still have our government under somewhat of control. Not entirely. And it's getting worse by the day. You see it nibbled away with your First Amendment. Well, let's talk about hate speech. In the United States of America. That's right. When they introduced the concept of hate speech, and you saw, like, the journalism class, if you will, they used to just scream about the First Amendment, defend it, go to jail to defend it, and suddenly they're going... It's there to protect hate speech. It's not there to protect a speech you like. Well, now this, you'll hear journalists say, well, yeah, I think we ought to probably control language.

We've got to get rid of this disinformation. What? Who determines what's disinformation? It turns out the government. Right. So you've got these things that are happening across Western civilization. They are coming here if we don't stop them. Now, when people say, especially about the Iran war, they say, well, we should be arming the Iranians. I'm like, why? Why aren't we arming the Irish? Why aren't we on the Germans? Why aren't we arming the English fathers whose daughters are being raped at an industrial scale? Why are we doing that? Because that's what's helping us so far. Now, that's not a permanent fix. We will be overtaken. Because I guarantee you that a lot of the folks that say pride from my cold dead hands, when the government finally comes the door and says, hey, listen, we know you have 17 firearms and we'd like them all, please. They're going to hand them over. There's not going to be a fight with the vast majority of people. We'll be lucky if we get one to three percent of the American people. Or if they say, give us your firearms, and if we catch you with them, we'll put you in prison. That's what they're going to say. Well, I can't do that. We will surrender. Trust me, right? If we don't change our culture now and begin defending this magnificent country we have, and I don't mean with fire, how do you defend the country today? Well, you go get active. You start paying attention to these people who are supposed to be your representatives. And when they say they represent you, but then they vote the other way, you call their office. Maybe you go visit them. You know, when they do the right things, you call their office and thank them. Right? You've got to get engaged as citizens. We have the easiest job in the world if we take it up. We could defend this nation, but we have to take it up. And the reason I talk about Ireland and the reason I talk about Germany and I talk about all these countries and what's happening to them, the reason we spent so much time talking about the detention camps in Australia during COVID, those were planned for here. They just never got that far. Tell people about those so they remember what that was. Well, in Australia during COVID, if you were suspected, so, you know, that contact tracing they were doing? So, you know, somebody got sick. They said, well, tell us the last people you spoke to, and they would write down these lists. Then the government would go out and talk to them. Well, who have you been around? Okay, they put down these lists. And if you were considered a risk because you'd been identified in contact tracing as you might as possibly being infected by COVID, the Army would pick you up and take you to a camp. And people like, in Australia? Yes, in Australia. And there was a guy, I still, it was kind of a funny story. A guy got out of one. He left a day early. He was supposed to be there for 14 days. He left a day early. Went to his ATM. Card didn't work. Goes into the bank. They said, oh, you're not supposed to be out of the camp. They had locked down his financial accounts so that he could not. effectively leave the camp. If he got out... He couldn't use his own money. He couldn't use his own money. Like the truckers in Canada. He got to go back to the camp. Like people fear if we go to an all-digital... system here. Well, it's not a fear. If we eliminate a currency. Right. It's not a fear. The people that are pushing digital currencies say in all of their presentations, one of the great things about this is we'll have perfect control. Larry Ellison, the guy that just bought CBS and TikTok, you know, big donor to the IDF. He has said, well, when we're surveilling everything they do, people will be on their best behavior. That means compliance. That doesn't mean you're being polite to your neighbor or like the Japanese...

people that are going to the World Cup games picking up your own trash. No, no. That means you will do as you're told, because if you don't, we're going to know. And if we know, we'll turn off your money. We'll turn off your transportation. We'll flip the kill switch in your car. You won't be able to drive anywhere. We won't allow you get a train ticket. Sound far-fetched? It's happening in China right now. Everything that's happening is moving us down that path. That's why I talk about this stuff so constantly. And now you mentioned earlier. We were talking about Ireland on this show, what, two years ago? Yes. Now look what's happening in Ireland. They tried to cut that guy's head off finally. Finally people are reacting. But, you know, I reached a boiling point. We've had enough of this craziness. That's right. Now, I will tell you the Irish about five years too late, but I think there's still hope. Now, what should our role be? Again, when people said, we should arm the Iranians. I said, oh, no, no, let's go arm the Irish. Let's arm the English. I would absolutely support the United States going to Europe to defend the European people against the tyrants of Brussels, the tyrants of Berlin, the tyrants of Paris and London, the globalists. that have taken over Spain, all these countries that are destroying their rights, putting them in jail for speech violations, bringing in migrants who have basically legal preference, they could do anything they want, you know, and who are systematically disassembling their cultures and their nations and the rule of law, and who are taxing those very citizens that are being destroyed, taxing them to pay for the destruction of their own nation. the united states should be defending those people maybe just rhetoric at the u n well that's not going to work i think we should be arming the irish the english the germans the spanish against these oppressors It's hard for people to imagine what you're saying, but it is going on. It sounds far-fetched. Absolutely going on. It's happening. It's happening every day. Because in all fairness, you've been talking about this at least two years, and I spoke to you the other day when it came to a head in Ireland. Do you see what's going on? Yep. Do you see that they finally are saying enough of this? That's right. And, of course, they make the people out that are standing up to this and the double standard in a crime. Oh, they're bigots, they're white supremacist.

They name call them right off the bat instead of saying they're the Irish fighting for the Irish. That's right. As soon as you hear someone calling people names like, you know, bigot, like racist, misogynist, anti-Semite, as soon as you hear that, you've got to stop and ask yourself, wait a minute, why are you going to that kind of attack? Is it that you don't have a point to make? What is it, you know, that's an immediate sign that somebody's about to lose their rights? And it's constant. It is constantly going on. News Radio 570 to carry on with G2. You're on ear. Hey there, G2. So you mentioned before the flock cameras. I would alert the people to take a look at deflock.org and look at what you find in your town. In my little hamlet of slippery rock, I found out that there are two cameras in slippery rock, and they're private. And that gets me to another. point is this data is being collected by private companies. This is capitalism being used against capitalism and freedom. And these cameras do, you know, automatic plate. reading and reads, you know, how fast your car was going, where you were going, the time of day, all that. I think it's not too long until they do, you know, facial recognition so that you can't use somebody else's car to go around. And, you know, this stuff then becomes available for government to buy, or maybe your company is worried about you. You know, maybe he's looking for another job and we want to find out whether he's looking for another job. We're going to activate the flock cameras around our competitors and see whether he's interviewing. or, you know, somebody's running for, you know, dog catcher in their little hamlet. And we want to, you know, we want to see what that guy's doing on the side, right? Maybe he's doing this, that, or the other thing. But it's no longer private. So, you know, I think that people need to be aware that these things are happening all over the country, not just in the big cities. Okay. And the last thing I would say is that the, you know, the Second Amendment is the major thing that keeps them from taking everything over. Yep. Okay. The politicians realize there's a lot of us that have a 600-yard shot. That's right. Now, one point, you mentioned that they're using capitalism. It isn't capitalism if it's paid for by the government. So using private companies to get around constitutional protections of our rights is a common practice, right? So the government isn't going to spy on you. Google is, and they're just going to buy the data that anybody can get. And so it's not really capitalism. It's the government using the printer, the money printer.

to get around the Constitution by hiring companies to surveil you. Hold on, caller. Back with G2 and more of your calls till seven tonight. Listen. News Radio 570, WKVN. All right, back to it. News Radio 570, WKBN. Ron, Verb with G2, where was that caller? Was I talking to you? Yes, you were. Okay, go ahead. So one of the other things that I would say, one of the first things I wanted to say just made a note here is don't use Google. Oh, no. Search. Do a, do a, do a duck, duck, do a search, do a brave search. There's a whole list of them out there, okay? Don't call it Googling something. Search it. Make that, use the correct word. That's right. So I heard Jim Jordan Peterson at one point make the note that at one point the Soviet Union was doing 10,000 prices per month of items, okay, so that they could set the price of things so that they were the correct prices for the people. And they were guaranteed to be wrong, right? Well, it may be that we are now building. the technology that that process may become possible because we have so much computing capability and we have the ability for algorithms to maybe do that the thing that they were trying to do so that the prices were quote unquote, fair to the proletariat, okay, and against those, against the bourgeois, that that may be possible so that all the surveillance and so forth, all that data, that tremendous amount of data is now going to be able to be processed. 20 years ago, we didn't have anywhere near the computing power or the storage to do this. Now we may be able to actually have an output that is... somewhat usable and that's the scary part right and you know if you go back i think i'd say about 15 years now uh there was a massive build out of of data centers uh across the country all secret right and and uh at the time that was a lot of volume echelon well yeah i think that was it and what's happening now is a multiple of that and here's the idea you're going to give a sales tax abatement to these data folks right these computing centers, I think is a more accurate word, as we said earlier in the show. You're going to give a sales tax abatement in some states. You might be giving them some other tax abatements. You're going to give them the ability to buy their electricity and water for less because the community is going to pay more. So we're all going to chip in to the cost of supplying them power and water. And so we're going to sort of subsidize them through higher energy water and through some tax moves so that they can surveil us.

so that these surveillance centers, which is really, they really are computing surveillance tools is what they are, right? And that's what we're doing. And we're being told you have to do it really quick, because if you don't get these built, we're not going to tell you what the demand is, how they're going to be used, how they're going to be financed, who's going to own them. We're not going to tell you what the decommissioning. None of that stuff. We're just going to chew up your land, water, and energy, and we're going to use that to surveil you and make you pay for it. This is insanity. Right. So I'm not saying I don't, you know, we ought to end all data, all tech growth, no. But I think we ought to reinstate the Fourth Amendment. And I think with these data centers, they should, there should be a much more thorough analysis about how it's going to be used, how it's going to be funded, all these things we've talked about, before we start ripping up more of this, you know, some of the best farmland in the world to build surveillance tools. So I think one of the first. steps that we need to do is to, is to have some type of, um, recognition on the fourth amendment in codified and saying, you can't surveil. And you being government or companies. that our data is our data. And if you want to surveil us, you're going to have to pay us to surveil us. So I'll tell you. Imagine when you do a search on an AI tool or in one of the Internet search tools like Google or Dock. Which, by the way, is a great tool and doesn't track you, although it will advertise to you and it will create different things. The results you get are commercial, right? Like if you pay more, you show up more. So Duck Duck Goes great. And by the way, a VPN is another way to minimize your footprint. All right. Hang on, caller. Back with him and G2 and more of your calls till 7. News Radio 570, WKVN. With G2, all right, so let me go back to this caller and so you were saying what caller? Well, I'll just tell you what I noticed while I'm sitting in my office looking at my email, and I just saw that, hey, they sent me an email on my credit rating. So if you think about credit ratings, okay, the credit rating companies, there's three of them, will surveil you essentially. And then the reward for that is that you get better rates, better insurance rates, better, you know, loan rates and so forth. But we allowed them to surveil you. So way back when when these credit ratings were starting to be done, we were conditioning the population to be surveilled. Yes. And telling them, here's the little. candy piece for letting us collect that data. Yeah, I don't think you have any privacy anymore. Well, I, in general. I mean, you don't have money. We only, we have, we have, we have the, we have the, we have the, we allow ourselves to have, right? If we were demanding from, from our government to not allow companies to even own this data, because it is data.

okay or that they would have to pay us for that data that's the other thing then maybe we you know we would have a little bit more privacy so when you use an AI tool and it goes out to the internet and searches all these documents what's it searching well it's searching the documents that maybe you wrote if you're an author the podcast you made if you're a podcaster the radio show you did if you were a radio person it goes out and surveils all this information that it does not own It takes that, processes it, and then delivers it, and charges you a fee for that. But they never pay for that content. If you had to pay for the data that you take from consumers, if you had to pay for the contents you take from people who produce analyses and content of different kinds, all of a sudden, Anthropics' $965 billion valuation might be something more reasonable. But it isn't because they have access to all this stuff that they do not pay for. So, you know, you go back to a Youngstown Vindicator, Warren Tribune. You know, all the stuff that they do is being used by Google and Docto and all the rest. And Google then controls the ads. Like, I think it's 70% of the ad revenue, right? Yeah. So Google has captured, the Vindicator didn't it, the Vendiped for the ads that came out of its, out of its newspapers. They steal all those stuff. They stole it, and they never paid the Vindicator for it. So the Vindicator went bankrupt, didn't it? Right? Got sold a fraction of the law. Right? You've got these newspapers having a hard time hanging on. You've got people trying to do different things that can't. seem to earn a living doing it and yet Google makes billions and billions of dollars putting its ads next to their content that it does not pay for if you reinstated the fourth amendment and you re and you did something to force these companies to pay for the content they use it would completely change the modern economics and that would be the biggest way to defeat the globalist accumulation of wealth at the expense of the public They just shouldn't have access to all this for free. With teeth. Absolutely. I mean, if you think about it, and so with the changing technology, in some ways we're more informed and in some ways we're not. Right. And when I say to you, listen, everybody's got a cell phone, they know where you are. I mean, your cell phone's always tracking where you are in disguise right. You know, if you Google search something, the next thing you know, you know, if you're Google searching some medical problem, you're getting ads for some doctor or you're getting ads for some medication, right? Anything you Google search. Right. So they know what you Google search. They know where you are. They, uh, if you go to certain sites, you got to accept the cookies, you know, if you're at those, right, at those sites. So I, I just don't think you have any privacy at all anymore. But you can, you can, you know, on camera everywhere. You, you can make it better by not using Google. Right. If you use a duck, duck go, and you use a European-based, um, uh, VPN service, and you have, you know, you drop your phone in a Faraday bag when you don't want to be surveilled.

turn off all the Siri capabilities, then, you know, you actually can dramatically reduce your footprint. But you can't hide if they're looking for you. And there's certain companies that will, that can assist you in that. All right. Is that it, caller? That said two things that I would remind the audience, Dflop.org, just to find out what's in your community. And then also, don't use Google. Yeah, don't use Google for anything. You know, here's the thing that I find really amazing. People think that when they write an email and Gmail, they think that when they create something in Google Docs, they think they own it. They don't know that what they're doing is creating content that Google owns. And that Google's tools surveil every word you type, every word you say on one of their Android phones, whatever to call them, Android, and everything you put into Google Docs, every word of that is surveilled and added to your dossier. So if you get Gmail, it's... They own it, and if... And a second thing is that if you run a small company and you're using Gmail or Google Docs, They own it all. That's right. That's right. They own it, and they can analyze it. And you assume you have privacy, but you don't. You don't even own your own cons. But it's free. Yeah, Google could be selling all this information to your competitor. They could be, you know, like in some cases, they could be doing valuations on your company based upon the information that they're gleaning from those Google Docs. I worked for a company that was purchased by Cisco, okay, and we were using Google Docs. And it was amazing to me that they were using Google Docs. And we, you know, the deepest detail you can imagine. on designs and so forth was on Google Docs. It was really amazing. You know that most Republican committees use Google Docs and Gmail and all these Google products because they're free and they think they're saving money. You know who Google supports? It ain't the Republicans. Right. So really amazing. We've really, as people, got to take responsibility for this. And it's not. it's not that hard to at least minimize your exposure. And a Faraday bag isn't expensive. But when you drop your phone in a Faraday bag and, you know, close it up, that's it. It's not connected and it's not listening. And so if you're having a conversation, you'd really like to keep to yourself, use a bag. There you go. All right. Appreciate your time. But you got to what, Alexa, a lot of people have Alexa in their house. Bring cameras everywhere? I told you this. I did Alexa for like three days. It was awesome. I'd say like play Mozart, boom. You know, up comes the music. It was fabulous. You mean to Ron Verb program on. I'd say, yeah, find Ron Verb, play Ron Verb over and over again in loop. And it was really cool. And I had it for about three days and I unplugged it and threw it in the trash. I mean, I got it for free because they were, you know, passing out free surveillance tools. And, you know, buy this. We'll surveil you for free.

And then I threw it to trash, and I won't have that in my house. But, I mean, it is a cool tool to play with, especially when you start asking it for things that you know it will be unable to deliver. You know, there's some funny things you could, you know, ask it for, and then get it's fun. But it's fun for a little bit and then throw it away. Are you more cognizant of it? I mean, so you don't Google. You duck, duck, go, and all that? I haven't used Google in years. I Google, my dossier at Google is probably not as good as they think it is. Like, you know, I'm sure they, no, I don't use Google products. At all. Now, I'm not completely isolated. I use Apple products. You have an iPhone? I have an iPhone. I turn off most of the Siri capabilities, almost all, I guess maybe all the Siri capabilities. And I connected the Internet differently. You can tell when somebody doesn't like that. And I do some other things. And then sometimes I just drop it in a bag. Turn it off. Turn it off is a good option, but it's not like... I say you can't really turn it off. No, you can't. Because even if you... Even it's off, it's not really off. I think I showed you that Faraday bag last time I'm here. It's over in that bag over there on the chair. It's, you know, it's a good... It's simple. I just... Take the phone, drop it in there, seal it up, and drive where I want to drive. And if you're driving a car pre-surveillance, they can't track you. Now, if you're driving a car that is a Toyota of recent years, they track you with this tool. I think it's in the transmission now. And you can't take it out. You can't disable it. And as I understand it, I haven't been to a Toyota deal in a while, but they want to have you pay to use the navigation system. So now the navigation system is rather than a CD that's in the trunk as they were when they first came out, right? Or in the machine, in the dash, it's going to be an internet-enabled navigation system that they're going to be surveilling. And you're going to have to pay a subscription to keep that working. And then they take the data of everywhere you go and use it for all these purposes like reporting on you, finding out where you should be. You know, I can't remember what year it was. BMW's annual report said they were going to make $2 billion selling data that they're collecting from drivers. As you buy a car, you have to pay more for the technology, which they use to surveil you so they can sell the data and don't give you a cut. Someone was telling me, and I mentioned this before, you know, on your cell phone, they can tell if you're going into Home Depot or Lowe's and they can bombard you with ads that's specific on your phone. They try to get you on their network. So in some places, like, you notice how you can't get a signal in some of these stores? I don't think that's accidental. So what's your option? Well, let me go to the free Wi-Fi. And, of course, you don't have a VPN. You just go, and then they track, in some places they'll track how long you're in front of a certain thing. You know, how many times you've returned to that one spot.

You've heard about this variable pricing, personal pricing, where you go into a store and they'll have digital prices, and the price will change based on its evaluation of use. So there's a little camera on the shelf that read your face identifies you, and you get the price that's identified for you. How do they know? Well, you've got an app on your phone that your loyalty app, right? Where you have your app for that store? You've got your loyalty numbers. They've got your face on data recognition. So if they think you could pay more, you're going to get a different price. That sucks. It's going to suck. Yes. So, you know, we're all going to have to go into the store with, like, Mickey Mouse masks. But no one reads those terms of use or terms of conditions. You can't accept. See, that's the thing. Well, this is capitalism. No, it isn't. Because capitalism would involve... They're stealing your privacy. They are. And it would involve you making a decision based on having somewhat equal information, having an opportunity to negotiate. You can't negotiate with Apple. And you certainly can negotiate with Google. The surveillance comes. right you can't so the idea that we're clicking except that mean something is is ridiculous the only way to get protection from these companies is legislation so they pay a lot of money to dc again it all of this comes back to one move the move is to crush the constitution for profit and power the antidote to that is that we all just stand up, that we start talking about these things, that we start opposing these things, that we start saying to our elected officials, you're to represent me, not JBS, the food beef manufacturer, you're to represent me, not, you know, Apple, and as long as we accept. Do you think by speaking up and speaking out over the years that you're on the radar screen? I think I've been on some radar. Yeah, I would have to agree. I think you would be. We've gotten a little reprieve here in these last four years, well, these last two years in this term. I felt much better with Tulsi Gabbard in the ODNI position, right, in the DNI position. Think of how evil that was to go after her before she was ever in there. Like to inconvenience her with when Harrison Biden, when people talk about Harrison Biden, to use the power of the government to say whenever she flies because she said negative things about Kamala Harris on Fox News, make sure that her security is. Yep. Put her on a terror watch list. Yes. I mean, her and her husband were hassled for political purposes. She was hassled for free speech. Tulsi Gabbard Evers' first real crime was going. into Syrian speaking to Bashar al-Assad. When she said, you keep telling us this is the boogeyman, I want to meet him. And she went over and said, okay, what, you know, what's going on? The deep state went berserk. And that, I think, basically, was the end of her time in Congress because they just couldn't allow somebody in Congress to go out and represent their people and ask real questions and have direct knowledge rather than knowledge provided by the deep state. That was the beginning of the end for her in Congress. But then the irony of her becoming the director of national intelligence was incredible. I mean, it was just incredibly rich, right? And, of course, then we get into this Iran war, and she won't come out and say there was a nuclear threat. Because she didn't believe there was one. Because there was one. So eventually, Laura Lumer gets dispatched to the White House to tell Trump to get rid of her. He didn't, but a month later, she was gone. Now, her husband, of course,

that's a reason to leave your job. Was that the reason? Was it the only reason? Was there an accommodation that could be made? Don't know. But there's no question they wanted her out. And sooner or later, forces were... Because she never publicly spoke out to say that she thought they were close to a nuclear weapon. No, she said the opposite. Yeah, she said they were not. Yeah, she, before the war, you know... Our intelligence, which was disregarded for Israel's intelligence. And remember, everybody said, I mean, not everybody, but the majority of the people in the administration were saying there is no threat. And we're advising against this war. But, you know, maybe a little hubris from Trump, maybe a lot, you know, and certainly a lot of pressure from Israel, he decided to do it. And if you remember, I read it on the air when someone asked this question. You know, Marco Rubio and others came out and said, Israel is going to attack. We have to do it as well because we're going to be exposed to the counterattack. They didn't say we're going in because there's a nuclear threat. It was later when they said, oh, wait a minute, that didn't work. Oh, there's a nuclear threat. Well, what happened the last year when you said you wiped it out? Do you think anybody will ever be criminally prosecuted for the Epstein situation? No. So when people say there's a two-tier justice system, there is? Well, I think it's a four-tier. How is that? Well, I think you've got the globalist elite that stand-alone. They're wealthy, they're immune, they suffer no consequences. You've got the politically connected. that are, you know, not as rich as those folks, but, you know, involved with Epstein, the wealthy. Well, like the people who burn cities and then were let go, right? I mean, you had the Attorney General of California raising bail money for people that were burning cities in 20, right? So they're let go and they, out they go. And then you have sort of the rich who can afford really good law firms and really good attorneys. And they really, you know, most of the time they can work it out. And then you have regular Joe. Joe Main Street doesn't have the money, doesn't have the connections. Joe Main Street's the one in the target that can't get out of this. And so that person is the one that suffers the full brunt of the law. And I'm leaving out the fifth tier, which is illegal aliens, as you know, were let out of courts so that they couldn't get caught by ice, right? But, you know, it's at least a four-tier justice system. What amazed me yesterday, I was talking a little bit to some callers about this whole Epstein thing and saying this really should be about the victims and they deserve justice in their day in court. And as I said yesterday, and you'll never see it. You will never see it. No. And that should be troubling to all of us. But what should be more troubling? Well, that should be troubling, but equally as troubling to all of us should be, who's got all this information that has the influence over these political figures or these wealthy people? Because somebody has it, and they can still use it. Somebody named Bashar al-Assad, I suspect. But, you know, let's just see who these people never oppose. Who do they really represent? That's who has that information.

Because if you don't do it our way, we'll put it out there. Right. And so to get the United States to appoint, and I've got some really smart friends who are great people, who buy into the whole thing that Epstein wasn't real, there was nothing really there. Well, then how did it happen for so long? Why is Prince Andrew no longer a prince? You know, I mean, of course there was something there. Why was there a dungeon? You don't build a resort with a dungeon. There's a dungeon. Back with G2. We'll wrap it up. 652 News Radio 570. WKBN. 570 WKBN. I don't know. But he's a lucky man. Let's just say that. All right. Let me see. You're on here. Yeah, hi. I heard an article about, you know, offshoot of the oil crisis in the, you know, Strait of Hermuz. There's a country. I didn't catch the name of it, but apparently they're building their own pipeline. So it's not to use the straight of Hermuz. It goes from the oil fields to their refineries. You know that, don't you? Yeah, G2 can tell you. Well, you know, there's this pipeline that the Saudis built a long, long time ago, but we're not using, at least it out of volume. And they're putting like 7 million barrels a day through that pipeline. That goes toward the Red Sea. But UAE also has a pipeline that drops down south of the strait that allows them to get out. But I'll tell you, I believe that this will be the last time Iran has the ability to stop all of this. There are going to be more pipelines built, more infrastructure in place. This leverage will be taken away because it makes no sense for Sunni nations to be exposed to Shia control. You also realize how stupid it was for Biden to stop the Keystone Pipeline, too. What a dump. Actually, it was the Keystone Excel Pipeline. Yes. Because that was supposed to transport what's called Vitumann, the Albertan Tarsans, down to the Gulf Coast refineries. By the way, that's not to be confused with the Keystone Light Pipeline, which goes to Rock Creek.

That is really great. You're good. That was pretty good. Thank you. I'll call tomorrow. There's more about... Oh, Emmanuel has to be called out. I hope he calls tomorrow because he's peddling a bad fish. You know, there's to go pedal your fish somewhere else. The old saying goes, that we have no capacity to refine heavy oil in America. There's 14 refineries on the Gulf Coast that are capable of... of refining the crude oil from Chevron, not from Venezuela. Venezuela and the bitumen. Yes. Chevron is one of the four. There's four that I remember. Chevron, BP, Marathon, and Valero have refineries. Here's, like, 14 from Texas, Louisiana. Oh. If you want something, you almost wonder if the government shouldn't help build more refineries because there's big problems. I think it is way past time for the Trump administration to declare a national emergency and seize control of the refineries in California and hand them back to the companies that ran them and defend them from the state of California. This ridiculous thing between the CCP and the Chinese of the Californians to close those refineries. That is a national crisis. Hey, thank you for your call. Thank you, G2. Appreciate it. That was fun.

from ABC News. I'm Dave Packer. A White House official confirms to ABC News that President Trump in France for the G7 Summit signed that Memorandum of Understanding with Iran today to end the war. It would lift the American blockade of Iranian ports reward Iran for reopening the Strait of Hermuz and lay the groundwork for 60 days of future talks about their nuclear program. President Trump asked how the memorandum will deliver results if it's not binding. Does it have to be? I let him know. I said, look, if you don't adhere to the agreement, I don't want to do that, but we're going to bomb the hell out of you. And I don't think that they're going to veer from the agreement. What else am I going to do? Am I going to say I'm going to take you to court? The Federal Reserve announcing will leave interest rates unchanged. It was Kevin Warsh's first rate announcement as Fed Chair. Economic activity is expanding at a solid pace, despite elevated uncertainty that owes in part to the conflict in the Middle East. President Trump playing hardball with the Senate saying that he will not approve FISA, a key national security tool that has already expired. Until Republicans passes sweeping voter ID law. The president says he's also delaying the nomination of Jay Clayton to serve as the director of national intelligence until his other judicial nominees get through. Jay Clayton was scheduled to start his confirmation hearings today. This means that Bill Pulte, a man with no intelligence experience, will be serving in that role for now. Republicans are no fan of Bill Pulte. The president knows that, and now he's using it as leverage. ABC's Rachel Scott. Lawyers for accused United Health Care CEO killer Luigi Mangione. offered a new defense that could mean a reduced charge in his state murder case. After spending about 18 months arguing he was not responsible for the death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Luigi Mangione's lawyers signaled that they're instead going to argue that he was going through an emotional episode. ABC's Peter Harrow-Lambus, a judge today sentencing convicted Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Yorman to life in prison. You're listening to ABC News.
