Back to it, News Radio 570 to WDKB in Iran, Ferb. So you say, well, they're watching the same news that you're watching in Iran. Obviously. I mean, if they're smart, they would. And I'm sure they do. And it's all negative about the war. And it's basically, if it goes to Congress, it's going to get shut down. So just hang on a little while longer and don't make a deal with Trump. What do you think they should do? Who? Iran? Yeah. The whole situation. We need to get it approved to be there as long as it takes. And then Iran is going to say, yeah, we ain't got the fortitude for this because we can't hold out much longer. But they can't hold out short term. How do you know that to be true? I would just ask you. I mean, is that an assumption on your part? Assumption, I mean, it's listening to your intelligent callers. Because, you know, I would think they would have buckled sooner. Remember when they dropped a bunker buster, that bomb? And that was supposedly that took care of it. Right from the start of this, the media has been crying about this can only last 60 days, and they need congressional approval. But those are the roles. I mean, that's not, I mean, listen, I don't care if it's Biden or Trump. I mean, you're not, you truly aren't a king or a dictator that you can do this stuff without, at that point, without. Now, I'm worried that he's not going to get back. He's not going to get the backing to keep continue on. And then we got to walk away spending all that money for nothing. And Iran goes right back to business as usual. We can't let them do that. At some point, you're going to leave, though, right? Let me counter your argument a little bit and get your reaction to things. So is it possible that we don't understand Iran's culture? So often previously, I think we could say as a country, we misread the Middle East tremendously. And we have a proven track record that we didn't understand the Middle East. And the so-called regime changes have all been dismal failures. And they thought maybe this time it would be different and it would be quick. And they would throw the towel in. And they didn't. So if I said to you, I think they're surprised they didn't throw the towel in as quick as they did. And I'm surprised they haven't thrown a towel in at this point in time, me personally speaking. I'm surprised they haven't thrown a towel in yet. So should I conclude they got some degree of resolve to say they haven't done it with all this bombing, they haven't done it with the blockade, they haven't done it with the finances of it. And I don't know that they're sitting around watching Fox News. Maybe it's just a culture we don't understand. Maybe it's a culture that says United States of America, you're not going to tell us whether or not we can have a nuclear weapon. We're our own country, 93 million people. United States, we can inflict a lot of financial harm on you. Well, they've said that publicly. If you want to inflict it on us, you just wait and see. I mean, Iran's basically saying, we got some cards to play here too.

3:46

Are they playing those? I would like to think that Trump's got him by the manhood. I would like to think he's got him by the, got a tight hold on him. But I don't know. He does, but they are looking at it thinking if we can just hold in a little bit longer, this is going to be over and he's going to have to quit. Well, that might be true. Because there's no support here in the United States according to the news. And I don't think there is a lot of support for it in the United States. I mean, I genuinely do not think a lot of people are supporting this at all. And as far as leaving, our boats can float around anywhere in the oceans. Why not leave a few of them there to just maintain the strait? How long? It ain't going to cost anything if they're just floating around. It costs the same to burn whatever they burn to float them boats around in the middle of the Atlantic as it would to float around in the Persian Gulf and the strait over moves. Just have a presence. It don't cost anything more. As long as we ain't shooting missiles. So you say the U.S. has got a... We're going to float somewhere. It's got... So you think the biggest enemy are the Democrats and the timeline? Yes. All right. How long do you think the American people will tolerate high gas prices? We don't have a choice. Oh, I think you have a choice. Unfortunately, sometimes, don't ever forget when they said it's the economy, stupid. That's very true. People, do you think that there could be a choice that you would see in November? Probably. And if the Democrats get back in charge, we'll be apologizing to Iran and giving them reparations for Trump's illegal war. Nothing would surprise me. Nothing would surprise me. I'm in total agreement with you there. I would never vote ever for a Democrat. I'd never vote for Sheridan. I'd never vote for the Democrats at all. But unfortunately, sometimes people do that, and I don't understand it because I don't think they would make it better. They would just make it a lot worse. I would agree with that. All right. Thank you for you. Thank you. Appreciate your comments. I thought he made a good point. You're on here. Here's my only thing. I don't know what I don't know. But I was told in June that all the nuclear bombs, missiles, everything was gone. And now February, we got to go back. So was I lied to then when they were gone and they weren't really gone? Or now they say there's nuclear dust. How long does it take to make a bomb that's going to hit Israel or the U.S. with nuclear dust? Now, Ron Verb, if you were Donald Trump behind the resolute desk and you were presented all of this, Mr. Trump, we have to go into Iran right now. Well, wait a second. Didn't we take care of everything? Yes, it's all dust. Well, wait a second. Why are we going to Iran if it's dust? How long does it take to make a nuclear missile from dust? So that's my only thing. I just wish we knew more. On top of that, I could really sit here and order you with you why we should be there, and I could argue with you why we shouldn't be there.

7:15

The one thing I'll push back on, even what you were talking to Rich about, would be their culture. You know, we have a lot of people in this country who have a different culture than what you would call American norms or American standards. What are we supposed to do? Just let them have these weapons and cause havoc on, you know, the community and just not do anything about it because we didn't take care of it in 60 days and let them just keep threatening us. That goes on forever. I'm not saying we should be in Iran forever. But what happens if Congress says we can't be there and we leave tomorrow? Does everything just go back to business as usual? Does China just keep going back and getting oil from Iran? Does the rest of the Middle East? Well, let me ask you that question. Based on our track record, what do you see? Well, based on our track record, the last two months or the last 30 years? No, our track record. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if you want to go back 30 years, but in the Middle East, I suspect you could go back to Vietnam as well because we simply left there, too. Here's my thing on this, too. We went in there, you know, on day one and bombed everything, and Israel went in. Why isn't Israel, where's their Navy? Why aren't they going through first clear and everything? Because just like you said, too, I never lost a minute of sleep at night wondering if Iran was going to hit us with a nuclear warhead. But at the same time, Trump is a whole different breed. He never wants to look bad. If he doesn't look bad, then America does good. And at the end of the day, I'm sure in the back of his mind, he thought, you know, if I go on Iran now, there's still a chance, even if he thinks everything he does is 100% right, unavoidable chance of failure. There's in the back of his mind, and even everybody in the military had to say this is what could happen. They present, even if the president makes these decisions, they present these things to him. He has to know that gas prices go up. He said it himself. He said he's surprised gas is his poor. The stock market's not downboard. The thing I don't like is I just want to know why we're there, for what reason, concrete. Because I just don't like here. And that's the thing that frustrates me the most is this nuclear dust thing. What are we going in to clear up the nuclear dust? Are we going to airlift excavators and dig it all up and put a caution tape around it until we get it all out? To what point? And I'm just saying, too, at the same time, now we're there. What are we supposed to do? Just stop now? Where's the rest of the Middle East? What are they doing? You know, the UAE, that's their whole entire economy. Saudi Arabia, that's their economy. They're still pumping out some oil, but not as much. That's why they left OPEC. I don't understand what the end game is, and I'm not going to pretend to know it because I don't know what I don't know. This can change next week, for all we know. I have no clue. But when the war games were going on with how we would invade Iran or get their nuclear weapons, I'm sure at some point, again, it was the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. I think the drone factor has completely changed all of war. You can look at what Russia and Ukraine, drones are just the new standard of war now. And when you can send a drone...

10:21

That's $30,000 from Iran that's hidden on opposite and straight of Hormuz, and you hit a U.S. Navy ship and a bunch of armed service members die. Yeah, that's not going to be good. I don't know what the endgame is this, but if it ends tomorrow, are we just going to go right back to where we were? Or I don't understand why we didn't just bomb them in June. We said it was gone. It's dust. If you ever start rebuilding it again, we'll do the same thing again. I mean, look what we did. So you're talking with the bunker buster. You thought it was, we dropped it. That was supposedly that accomplished everything we needed. Everything's destroyed. And you're saying, so what happened? After the bunker buster. No. Why didn't they do it then? And are they going to keep, you know, quote unquote charging and just the sweat of anything? Well, some of the critics say, look, he's now created a monster because they didn't know they hadn't done that. But now they're saying, well, wait a minute. Now they realize what another avenue that they have available to them. I keep hearing these 12 days, 22 days until their oil, they have no more storage, they can't pump, and then the water infiltrates their oil reserves and they can't do anything for years. If that's legitimate, then Iran really does have to make a decision. Do they want to never be able to pump oil? And look, I mean, I guess China and Russia might be sending them some supplies. I don't know. But if we heard anything out of their allies, Russia and China, Russia's, you know, without saying... in Ukraine, and China really just wants to sell cheap stuff all over the world. I don't think they want to get involved in anything because they have 50-year, 100-year plans. But Iran has no friends. That's what I don't understand, even with the rest of the Middle East, where are they? And I'm telling you, I keep going back to Israel. We went in with them on day one, and I haven't heard anything since then. I'm sure stuff is going on. Again, I don't know what I don't know. But... They were going to get a nuclear bomb to hit it at Israel first. I think Israel should be going in and taking care of this with their Navy, open that up. A lot of it just makes no sense to me. I just wish I had a clear, concise reason. What are your thoughts about how long you think Americans will tolerate? Well, if you keep looking back at interest, and I've said this a few times, that 10-year Treasury rate right now is at 4.45 percent. Anytime it gets just below 4.5 percent, something happens. When Liberation Day happened in April of last year in the market tank, and interest rates went through the roof, right when it hit 4.5 percent, that's when they backed off the tariffs.

13:04

We did this ceasefire. It was right when interest rate were right at 4.5%. Something probably is going to come off the table, push the goalposts further down. I don't know, but Trump is losing – he's going to start losing credibility when you hit the nail on the head. Oh, we have a deal. We don't have a deal. We have a deal. We don't have a deal. At this point, this far in, you tell these people at this point, I don't know. Whoever's in charge, either you make a deal and you have until this time, and then we're just going to do to you what we did to everybody else. I don't know if there's just another hundred people in line to take up the next position, or maybe they really have no clue. I just want – it would be nice if Trump came and did address to the nation at 9 o'clock at night and just laid out a clear, concise, three-minute speech, turned around and walked away. That's really what I would like, because I just have no clue what's going on. And like I said, I could speculate in one direction why we should be there and why we should keep doing this and why we never should have gone at the same time. Oh, yeah. Hmm. It's, it's. It's a cluster. It's a quagmire. I don't know what you want to call it. Oh, I think. And again, we could be having this conversation next week and say, oh, my gosh, it actually worked. They did this. They did that. We're doing this. All of this is opened back up, but it's not like gas prices are going to come straight down because you've got futures markets. Oil is priced, you know, 30 days, 60 day, 90 day, you know, down the road. I'm not really sure why gas was at $4.85, 99 cents, wherever you want to call it when oil was $100 a barrel. I was seeing reports of that. That never should have been that high even with it at $100 barrel. I have no clue because I just don't know what I don't know. Yeah. There you go. All right. Thank you. Believe it or not, I think that was well said. I think I'm sitting there taking in exactly everything you had to say. I don't know what I don't know.

15:00

But there is, you do lose credibility when all last week, well, Iran wants to make a deal. They're in talks. They want to make a deal. Well, if they want to make a deal, why isn't there a deal? If they want to make a deal, why are we talking about doing more bombing? I thought we had them right where we needed them. It's like there's so many mixed signals here. And then you see a huge down markets today. And then you see. Oil prices, the price of oil going up. And that's not good for my fatigued wallet. How about yours? Back in a minute. News Radio 570, WKVN. You know, I never want to steer you in a wrong direction. You understand that. I always try to point you in the right direction, whether it's somebody who needs hearing aids or their hearing looked at. You won't find any better in Dr. Sheryl-Figlana, Centers for Hearing Care. Whether that's heating and cooling and the honesty of Bob Deeder. Or whether that's buying a new car trucker SUV and Mike Kudak and Stadium GM. This I can tell you, as I've said, as a customer. You go one stop, everything that General Motors makes, if you're a GM family, and you like the product, and you want, whether it's Cadillac, Buick, GMC, or Chevy, you find it all under one roof. And you're not part of these dealership chains that are these mega dealerships, got to have a gazillion locations, and the overhead that comes with it, and a lack of personal care that comes with it. No, Stadium GM. Locally owned and operated by Shorty Navarro, proudly run by Mike Hudak, and so the philosophy remains the same. They want to keep your business, they want to keep your family's business, generation after generation. That's what built Stadium GM and continues to build it. I can tell you as a customer in 2017 and in 2026. Great selection, great service departments. Overall, a pleasant experience. And isn't that what you're looking for when it comes to buying a car truck SUV? StadiumGM.com is the website. If you want to take a look at that, used cars, trucks, SUVs, car fax reports, competitive pricing, or the new car inventory as well. Buying or leasing. New or used. Stadium GM will make your life better. News Radio 570 W. Kian, you're on ear. Are you a believer in the Cleveland Cavaliers? Yes, I am. Yes, I am. You've been talking about the Cavaliers. I've been ignoring you. I've been saying I'm focused on the Guardians. And I almost feel as though I should publicly apologize to Dick from Dayton because you've been calves all the way and look. How happy were you yesterday? Oh, I'd never seen that place that crazy. I mean, the people were just, I put it, you know, about the second half, I was watching the news and stuff, but I watched it. They just looked remarkable, didn't they? They just kept going on, you know? Yes. Yes. Now, the big trip. I say the...

18:21

Do good. They'll do good on this trip. I'm convinced, you know. You're convinced? Yes. Yes. Bring it home, buddy. You know what I thought of yesterday when the Cavs won? What? Dick from Dayton. Oh, good. No, he says, boy, Dick from Dayton's got to be happy. Although, you know, basketball playoffs go on forever, don't they? Good God. Yes, they go forever. I mean, that's the problem. It's like, I mean, it's like, geez, Louise. Yeah, they go in forever. But the calves, yes, the calves victorious. Now on to the next one. Now on to the next one. And Dick from Dayton, you have been correct on your focus on that. I'm still, I'm just in the baseball and the Guardians. You understand. Yeah, they're doing pretty good, aren't they? Yes, they are. They lost last night, though, didn't they? Yes. All right, Tiger. Okay, bye-bye. Appreciate it. You're on the ear. What a pleasure following Dick from Dayton, a two-time caller of the year on your overnight sports program on 1390. And I did see that thing of Dick from Dayton at that celebration day had in Cincinnati. Yes. Yes, yes. You know, Ron, getting on the serious part of the show, do you remember you're too young, but for your more astute listeners out there, remember when Robert McNamere left being Secretary of Defense and went to take over the World Bank, and there was a guy named Clark Clifford that took his job right in the late 60s this happened. And after that, all the generals, the chiefs of staff, the joint chiefs and everything, had Mr. Clifford come in with his staff, and they were showing them all these elaborate bombing plans of North Vietnam, and we're going to do this, and we're going to bomb the dams and this and that. And he said, gentlemen, gentlemen, please, I want to see the plants. And he goes, The plans? Sir, we're showing you the bombing plans, the latest bombing plan. He goes, no, I want to see the plans of winning the war. And the general step back, the admiral step back, said, sir, we have no plan on winning the war. I think, as much as I believe in Trump, I think he's going to be doing a better thing. News Radio 570, WKVN. KVN. All right. Where was I? Hang on a minute. Okay, you were talking about Vietnam. And Mr. Clifford asked all this joint chief staff and everything. They said, where's the plan to win the war? I think Mr. Trump right now doesn't have a plan to win this. If he does, he's keeping it close to his best. But I do think, you know, we can't go on with this hit and miss theory. Either we've got to go in and get the stuff done. Remember when the Gulf War started, Colin Jerome Powell got up in front of everybody. He says, we're going to cut off the head of the snake, and we're going to kill the regime. And that's what they did.

21:38

They bombed the heck out of the Iraqi forces. Then they went in and they were surrendering to drones or surrendering to the CNN reporters because they were getting bombastic with all of our might that we were putting down on the Iraqis. And how long did their war last five, six months? It was over? Yeah. Okay. I think right now, Mr. Trump got to have a plan to go in and get all this stuff, like your one caller said, get this stuff up, get somebody in there. Like you said, you're not going to be dropping bulldozers by error and stuff like that there. They've got to go out and make sure the stuff that they had before is destroyed. Your comments, Ron? Like I said, I think that they miscalculated. I think they had a plan and thought this would be over very quickly. And I think they miscalculated totally and completely. And I think they continue to try to reboot or reconfigure to a certain extent. and trying to figure out where to go next. I mean, do I think the military has done an excellent job? Do I think that they got them by the gonads? I absolutely do. Do I think it can be a waiting game to bring them to their knees? Potentially. I mean, possibly. But do I understand their culture or their reserve? No, I do not. No. Because they might be very much saying that day, I don't know what their thoughts are. They might be saying, we hate you. You're not going to tell us that we can't. You're not going to tell us Israel can have a nuclear weapon, but we can't. You're not, sooner or later, you're going to have to leave. This is our home. As we saw in Afghanistan, as you saw in Vietnam. This is where we live and we're here to stay. And you got to go at some point. So we'll wait you out whenever that is. You know, they might be looking to the philosophy of Ho Chi Men. Yep. Back in the day, after the Tet Offensive, we killed over 100,000 of them, Ronnie. 100,000 during the Tet Offensive. And they waited two, three years. They built up their forces. And they came right back down the Ho Chi Men Trail that we bombed day in, day out, night and day, forever and ever. And they still got the stuff down that trail and everything like that. And the other thing, too, is that... They were ready to commit another 100,000 men to get their just reserve and retaking, you know, reuniting the North and the South Vietnam. And who can forget, you were just a little child at the time, that tank going through the presidential palace down there in Saigon and knocking that gate down and running up there and running down the flag of the South Vietnamese and putting up that flag of the North Vietnamese.

24:43

Their waiting game weighted out, but the longest war in our history, 10 years at that time. Yeah. I mean, yes, 100%. I mean, on a serious question, and on a serious question, do you ever sit back and say, when you look at it, what did all those people die for? Because ultimately we ended up leaving. I mean, because these were many people that you personally knew. What did they die for? And likewise, in Afghanistan, when you see the... horrific commercials on television. Well, those young men that died or are injured that you see permanently injured, what for? We left and gave it back to them. And you see that in all of the Middle East. We don't stay. We can't stay. It's their homeland. We leave. And no matter what we seem to put in there, it doesn't seem to work. Yeah. Yeah. It's... So what are your thoughts? I mean, when you see the $5 gasoline and the inflation that comes from it, do you think people have a resolve to say, let's stay with it another month, even if it goes to six bucks or whatever? I think if it goes to six bucks, Ronnie, there's going to be such a cry from the people that the president got to release the oil reserves. And our governor, you know, I'm glad he's on his last term. When the state legislature come down and said, hey, let's reduce the sales tax on the gasoline, the state tax. Wait a minute. This is by 15%. 15 cents. No, no, no. You know what? I'll tell you this. Really, that money goes for your roads and that kind of stuff. I don't think the answer is... I don't think the answer is relieving that tax at all. This problem is so far beyond that right at this point in time. I don't even know that this. I get tired of the strategic oil reserves, Vince, being used for political purposes. The strategic oil reserves are there for military purposes. Right, right. And they and they should us. Now, they should stay there for that. They should be used as a backup to try to influence oil prices either up or down. I'm kind of opposed to that. I want the strategic oil reserves filled, capped off, left alone. And I don't leave the state tax alone. Let these guys that created this problem in the Trump administration figure out how to fix it and what to do about it.

27:15

I think they ought to do like they promised during his campaign, put four more refineries, two on each coast, and five more refineries, two on each coast, and one on the Gulf of America again. Do that commitment, and we can do on our own oil. We have enough now that we're selling it to other people. I mean, you know, growing up, the price of gasoline was 20 cents a gallon when I started to drive. 20 cents a gallon, and those people who are making millions of dollars after that. Today, at $5 a gallon, they're not making millions? Well, they're going to have record profits. They're going to have record. We need someone like you, Ron, in Congress to get, I mean, I know ruler is doing a good job, but, you know, come on. Appreciate that, Vince. You know I do. Thank you, man. Appreciate it. Truly my favorite, Marine. News Radio 570, W. Kvian, 541, you're on ear. Ron. Yes. I'm looking forward to your insight, please. 183. You know what that is? 183? 183? Until the midterms. That's the war we're in. Hunter to win the midterms. The Patriot Movement, Liberty and Freedom has to win the midterms. And that's all that matters. We're in the wrong war right now. I do not care what Big Farmer Rich or 007 Ted say. Okay, that was what you, your discussion with Rich was great. And I wanted to vomit every time he tried to come up with some reason why we should be there. This, he completely does not understand history, recent history. Look what happened. when Joe Biden was inaugurated. That's all the farther back you need to go. Everything, all the gains that the American people made during Trump's first term were literally erased overnight. Yes. And I just, you know, I don't know what it's going to take to get out of this. If you don't want to call it a war, whoever is skirmish, I don't care. It's the wrong objective. I mean, how many more opportunities are we going to have to save this country? I think this is it. Exactly. Let me ask you this, though. Let me pick your brain for a second. Here's what's troubling to me. Whether or not why we got into this is worth debating. We're in it. What's the game plan? What's the exit strategy? What are we going to do about the straight? What are we going to do about oil prices? All of this kind of stuff. I get all of that. But I'm in total agreement with what you said, folks. When I hear Mike talk. The most important thing is this is what's ahead. You're going to... You know, you're going to... You know, electing Republicans either. I don't believe it's slower right now. I mean, I could never vote for any of the Democrats. I don't believe... It troubles me that...

30:58

They say, well, the Democrats could win the midterms. I don't want to go back to the Democrats of tampons in the male restroom, and you can wish yourself a woman, and men can get pregnant, and you can't define what a woman is, and we're going to hire you based on anything but merit. Are you black? Are you gay? Are you transgender? I don't want to go back to that silliness. I don't want to go back to another government program to help everybody out. I don't want to go back to... the Democrat philosophy, the far-left philosophy. So I could never vote for that. They created this inflation, and they are to blame for it. I could never vote for it in support of it. So the idea that, let's say, the midterms come, and I would vote for Sherrod Brown or whatever, is ridiculous. I would never vote for any of the Democrats that are running. I've seen what they've done. So, but, and I'm, and I'm, and I didn't. True destroyers of country. Right. But explain to me, because unfortunately I hate to say it. Most of you listening are informed voters. That's why you're listening to Talk Radio. That's why you read. That's why you know what's going on. Most people who vote are low-information voters. It's a popularity contest with them. It's just like people that will be voting tomorrow. Most people have no idea what's the difference between this candidate and that candidate. They just kind of vote on name recognition or location or whatever. It's not necessarily an informed vote.

32:39

midterms, it'll be, hey, gas sucks, my world isn't good, I'm going to vote for the Democrats. That's what troubles me, because then you're right back to that lunacy. Do you agree with that? I agree with that 100%, Ron. And I, you know, we've got plenty of lunacy in the Republican Party, too. And right, but, but, but once you, once you, once you, once you put the Democrats in charge for the next two years, everything will just come to a screeching standstill of fixing this country and getting it on the right path. It will be just, it would be stagnant and it will have screwed everything up. I agree with stagnant, Ron, with the Democrats in charge, we're going to go in reverse. You're correct. I'm sorry, you are 100% correct. Yeah, and stagnant might be the Republicans. The current Republicans. We need more Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress. And I'm not going to say that that's the answer, 100% answer. But right now, under Donald Trump, we are losing slower. But we are losing. As far as losing the American First Agenda. Yeah, exactly. We're losing the country. If we don't get the American First Agenda back on track, we're done. And the American First Agenda is getting all these people in your country that are here illegally out and affordability. Correct? Elections. Elections right now are probably one of the most critical things that we need to get taken care of. Integrity in the system. Yep, yep, correct. Hey, I got a scoop. Thank you. Appreciate your time and your and your insights. News Radio 570 W. KBEN and Ron, Firm 547, good to be with you here tonight till six Rockport's wealth, truth, and investing program with Joe Kovach and Adam Stallnaker coming your way after the break at 6 on News Radio 570 WKVN. You're on here. We're on. Yes, go ahead, please. You know who this is? It's the unintelligent caller. Well, the unintelligent caller is going to try to come up with something intelligent. Okay, I can hardly wait. You're looking at this war wrong. The war is actually in three phases, and everybody that calls in and everybody that talks about it, all they talk about is phase one, the war and the bombing and this and that. It's in three phases. And to get the phase three, the best phase, you've got to go through phase two. And to get to phase two, you've got to have phase one. Now, phase one is we need a reason to have phase two and phase three. The reason is what's going to scare everybody in the world is nuclear weapons. So what does Donald Trump do? Everything is about nuclear weapons. Iran's not going to get a nuclear weapon. Why is he telling you that? Because the people were in an eighth grade mentality, that's what they're going to believe. But Donald Trump, you know how they say you're playing checkers. Well, checkers is phase one.

Phase three is the chess game, okay? So, phase one, that's the war, okay? He won the war. He wiped out the Navy, he wiped out the Army, he wiped out everything in sight, and all of a sudden he stops at the Straits of Hormoom's and decides to have peace talk. Why did he do that? Because that's phase two. He needed the war. He needed you to believe there's nuclear weapons so you can get to phase two. Phase two is stopping all the... oil transfer in the Strait of Hormuz. Why? Because that stops. He don't care about Iran. You know, we don't care about what they yell or anything. It's about China. It's about Russia. But mostly it's about Great Britain. And it's about... uh, Luxembourg Brussels, all the people that hold our national debt. He's putting the squeeze on them. That's phase two. So when you put the squeeze on them, you get phase three, which is they're going to have to buy the oil from us. You see? So you can't just look at it as phase one, you know, or like the war and we're losing gas prices are high and everything. No, it's, Going to be all right because who said 183 days until the midterms? Well, guess what's going to happen there? He's going to have it all solved. He has a great, I heard another podcaster call it the Great Reset. He's doing a reset from the deep state. They're reset. You see what I mean? There's a battle going on. And this is going to be Donald Trump. He took Venezuela. We got their oil there. He's going to control the Western Hemisphere. And to do this, you're missing phase two and phase three when you talk about this war. There he is. The unintelligent caller trying to be intelligence. Thank you. You're on the air. Good evening, Ron. How are you? I'm very short on time. Well, I got to tell you, a lot of what was just said is right. I mean, the city of London, you know, the globalist, that's all in the mix on this thing. It is a larger strategy that's being played out, and there are phases to it. And, you know, right now we're just in this phase where... we just can't get control of the street of removes. I think this is something a lot of folks are missing. No, wait, let me do a quick break. Then I want to come back to you, and you've got to sum it up for the night. Okay, hang on. Back with G2. I'm looking forward to his insight on it.

and you will hear it after this. 570 WKBN. All right, Stadium GM and Heart of Salem is where I want you to go for your next used or new car trucker SUV and experience the difference that you'll find at Stadium GM. It's just great customer service. And it's a great philosophy of a dealership. I shared it with you this afternoon. And I encourage you for your family to not dread being in the car market, whether it's new or used, but have some joy with your life. And you'll find it when you go where they have all makes and all models at Stadium GM, whether it's Buick, Cadillac, GMC, Chevy. And with a dealership that appreciates your business, it's big enough to offer you everything yet small enough to get to know you. and treat you the right way. That's what you get with Shorty Navarro, Mike Kudak and a gang from service to sales at Stadium GM in the heart of Salem. So keep that in mind. All right, G2, with limited time. Every day I'm hearing it, we got a deal, we got a deal. There's no deal. Oil price went up today. We're at $5 a gallon here. Talk about it. This is not, as I've said many times, not a linear process. They're going to be days with deals, days with no deals. They're going to be a lot of puts and takes. And you've got this internal battle for control in Iran that is obviously going to happen any time. You eliminate several layers of leadership in both the military and civilian sides. So none of this volatility is surprising in that this is war and it's war with an enemy who's going through tremendous struggles for power. So this is all normal. Iran is certainly... the enemy in this particular battle, the bigger enemy, as I think the unintelligent caller pointed to, is these globalists. And whether you call it Mr. Global or the globalist or the city of London, the 13 families, however you say it, that's what the reset is about. They're saying we're going to reset the world so that your borders mean nothing and we control what you do through the UN, the World Health Organization. And Trump and some others are saying, we're going to have sovereign nations that are run for the interest of our citizens. and our citizens are going to decide how they're run by voting for the representatives that they want. And so this battle is critical. I think as we go forward and come closer to the need for this decision in Congress, as we get to this decision in Congress, don't forget APAC, has tremendous power over Congress and a lot of members of Congress are Israelis, and they are going to be pushing hard to keep the war going. I don't know what pound of flesh, what ransom we're going to have to pay to Congress to get them to agree. But I suspect Israel will demand that Congress heal and make...

and do its bidding and keep this war going. Now, can we get the SAVE Act passed in the middle of that? I don't know. But the next stage of the most critical battle, which is the internal battle, far more important than Iran is the domestic fight. And the next step there is the midterms. And we've got to get the SAVAC passed. I don't know where Israel stands on it. If they're against it or for it, you know, we should check it with APAC, I suppose. But Americans have to demand that we get the Save America Act so we can have legitimate elections in the fall. All right. Any other thoughts? Well, there's a lot, but there's such limited time. You know, I'll tell you, the other thought is it's a beautiful late spring day, and wherever you are, try to get a few minutes outside and enjoy the air and sun because it's a beautiful. Are you worried about the midterm, so, because of... Gas prices being high and could go higher? Inflation coming back? I think gas prices are a critical factor to a huge number of voters that know nothing about what's going on, as you said earlier. It's not, you know, we're not talking about your listeners. We're talking about, you know, Joe Main Street. They revel in their ignorance, and they'll vote on something as simple as that. But. But the midterms are simply the next domestic battle that has to be won. It's the Save Act, then the midterms, and without one you don't get the other. So this is a really critical battle, and just look at it as that. I hope we have more time to talk about it tomorrow. G2. Thank you. News Radio 570, WKBN.

I'm Mike Tabaski, a dramatic escalation in fighting today around the Strait of Hormuz as the U.S. Navy begins escorting commercial ships through the blockade. ABC News, foreign correspondent Tom Sufi Burridge reports from Tel Aviv. Iran launching attacks both on the United Arab Emirates and, according to Sinkom also firing cruise missiles at U.S. military ships and cargo vessels near to the Strait of Hormuz. Sengkoms saying all of those missiles were shot down and none of the vessels were disres. destroyed and CENTCOM also saying they destroyed six small Iranian gunboats. Oil prices were up on the increased hostilities today as the average price for a gallon of gas in the U.S. now sits at over 440 a gallon. Economist Joe Bruce Swellis says Americans will feel that and not just at the gas pump. Think of everything that you buy that involves plastic. You like your broccoli and plastic that you buy from Costco. That's going to get more expensive. Hey, American moms. those disposable diapers you get from walmart They're going to jump in price too. So we're going to get a little bit of a modest inflation shock here. Supreme Court Samuel Alito Samuel Alito has issued a temporary stay in a case involving Miffa Pristone, the popular abortion drug. ABC's Devin Dwyer explains what's likely to come next. Supreme Court basically has not taken a position just yet. And what they're deciding is whether or not they think the state of Louisiana is likely to prevail in challenging the safety of how Miffa Pristone. Stone is distributed. So by next week sometime, the Supreme Court is likely to weigh in and either extend this day or snapping back to pre-2020 guidelines. And it looks like the case between Blake lively and Justin Baldoni won't be going to trial. The two sides engaged in contentious legal fight over allegations of abuse on a movie set have announced they've reached a settlement. You're listening to ABC News.
