Speaker 4: I hope everybody had a good Easter. Eight lots of

17
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 4: chocolate celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ, a very important

18
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 4: Christian holiday. Although I'm not a believer, I fully recognize

19
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 4: the importance of the holiday.

20
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 2: To the faithful. Did you have a good Easter there, Jared, I.

21
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: Had a great Easter. Let's not forget.

22
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 5: Today is Championship Monday in the Circle City. Today the

23
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 5: Final four comes to an end. I will have the

24
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 5: honor of taking my son to that game, really looking

25
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 5: forward to it.

26
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: But today's the big one Downtown. We have Yukon and Michigan.

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 5: Let's be good hosts to people that are visiting in

28
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 5: our city so they want to come back.

29
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 4: Yes, well, that's one thing I think Indianapolis does phenomenally

30
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 4: well is host events exactly like this. And what better

31
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 4: place to host the Final Four than the birthplace of basketball,

32
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 4: which is Indiana. I mean, it is our not the

33
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 4: national pastime, but the past time of the state.

34
00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: For sure.

35
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 4: People love basket ball in the Hoosier heartland. So yes, absolutely,

36
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 4: I hope they are wonderful hosts and people want to

37
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 4: come back and spend their money here. We need the

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 4: economic boost, right, Jerry.

39
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 5: Oh, listen, We're going to get into some reasons why

40
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 5: we need the economic boost here in a few.

41
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going to get into that, But first we

42
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 4: got to start with the tweet heard round the world.

43
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 2: When I saw this pop up in my feed, Jerry, first,

44
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: I had to fact check.

45
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 4: It because there's no way that Donald Trump really tweeted this.

46
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 4: I mean, there's just no way that he actually tweeted

47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: these words on an Easter Sunday. But then then I

48
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 4: saw Jake Tapper reported on CNN, and I knew it

49
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 4: had to be true.

50
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 6: He has just threatened heron in extraordinary graphic terms, giving

51
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 6: the Iranian regime just over a day to either make

52
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 6: a deal, reopen the strait up hoorn moves, or face help.

53
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 6: If your children are watching, be warned the President did

54
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 6: not use polite language. Quote Tuesday will be power plant day,

55
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 6: can bridge day, all wrapped up and won in Iran.

56
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 6: There will be no thing like it. Open the bank

57
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 6: and straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell.

58
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: Just watch.

59
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 6: You should note that destroying civilian power infrastructure is generally

60
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 6: considered to constitute a war crime under international law, though

61
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 6: the President could argue that the infrastructure has dual use

62
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 6: and also is utilized by Iron's military.

63
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: Boy, that escalated quickly.

64
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: I mean that really got.

65
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 7: Out of hand fast.

66
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: It jumped up a notch.

67
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: It did, didn't it.

68
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 4: What Jake Tapper left off of the tweet was after

69
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 4: he said you'll be living in hell, just watch, he

70
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 4: ended by saying, praise be to Allah.

71
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: President Donald J. Trump? What did he mean by that? Jerry?

72
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 5: I do a little join for me to uh to

73
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 5: be on Easter to be a Catholic kid and on Easter,

74
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 5: or see my president say praise be to a law

75
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 5: was a little joined. One of the reasons why I

76
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 5: didn't repost it because this is obviously fake. Yeah, and

77
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 5: it was one. But here's my problem. Why are we

78
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 5: begging now? It sounds like we're begging for them to

79
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 5: open the straight Well.

80
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 4: We also keep moving back the deadline. It's forty eight hours,

81
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 4: and then it's ten days, and then it's an extra

82
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 4: forty eight hours, and then it's eighty two hours.

83
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 5: I thought were almost done. Yeah, that's what he said

84
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 5: at nine o'clock. Right, We're almost on the verge, and

85
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 5: one week later we're begging.

86
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: Well, he keeps saying that we've won the war, but

87
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 4: yet we're still negotiating for peace and we're demanding.

88
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: The Strait be open.

89
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 4: At the same time that the President says we don't

90
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 4: need the Strait of horror moves and Europe can defend

91
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 4: the Strait for itself. But as you heard in the tweet,

92
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 4: now he's saying that we could start bombing civilian infrastructure,

93
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 4: as reported by Trey Yanks to Fox News.

94
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, guys, good morning.

95
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 8: I just spoke with President Trump for fifteen minutes.

96
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 2: He gave me some new.

97
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 8: Details on the negotiations behind the scenes with the Iradians

98
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 8: and what's going to happen if Iran does not make

99
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 8: a good faith deal. The President tells me, if they

100
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 8: don't make a deal and fast, I'm considering blowing everything

101
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 8: up and taking over the oil. The President went on

102
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 8: to say, you're going to see bridges and power plants

103
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 8: dropping all over their country come night fall.

104
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: The city is mine and anyone left to your place

105
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: by my rules. If you don't want to be in

106
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 2: the game, get out now.

107
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 7: But the bridge and tunnel crowd are short for surprise ha.

108
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 4: Ha start bombing civilian infrastructures.

109
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 5: And quotes though, brother, like war is blowing up things,

110
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 5: war is hitting bridges, War is stopping your power, War

111
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 5: is securing your assets.

112
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: And like war is ugly, what is very ugly?

113
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: War as hell?

114
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 5: As they say, war is literally hell, And we're sitting

115
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 5: off people to give their lives for a country.

116
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: The least we can do is try to support them.

117
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 4: But I know if people started blowing up power plants

118
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 4: and bridges in the United States, we would call those

119
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 4: people terrorists and rightfully so, because they're attacking civilians and

120
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 4: not the military and Iran they just keep telling Donald

121
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 4: Trump to suck a kosher deal pickle.

122
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: They're not putting up with it.

123
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 4: And there when you make these threats without considering the possibilities,

124
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 4: this could lead to a cascading disaster, one that Donald

125
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 4: Trump has invited on himself, like hypothetically, if they don't

126
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 4: comply by Monday, here's how this could go down. Eighty

127
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 4: million people losing their electricity, including hospitals, water plants, communications,

128
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 4: all of it gone Ran retaliating on Saudi Arabia and

129
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 4: the UA United Arab Emirate oil facilities. Oil then spiking

130
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 4: past one hundred and fifty dollars, potentially up to two

131
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 4: hundred dollars per barrel, which would be disastrous for the

132
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 4: United States economy, with gas hitting six to eight dollars

133
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 4: per gallon, Asia losing fifty percent of its energy supply overnight.

134
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 2: The houthis close to the Red Sea, two.

135
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 4: Choke points down simultaneously, which could trigger a global recession.

136
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 4: The alternative, if he backs down every future threat then

137
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 4: is a bluff. Iran keeps the horror moos straight. Restricted

138
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 4: oil stays above one hundred dollars is the new normal,

139
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 4: and allies stop trusting United States commitments. Both options catastrophic,

140
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 4: Both paths lead to crisis, and the deadline is Monday.

141
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 4: This is not a negotiation, It's a trap that Trump

142
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 4: has built for himself.

143
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 5: He has put himself in a very precarious position. There's

144
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 5: absolutely no doubt about that. We should have been in

145
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 5: and out, regime change should have been over with. It

146
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 5: seems like we got in there and we are trying

147
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 5: to figure it out as we go.

148
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had the blueprint.

149
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 4: He had the blueprint from Venezuela when we took out Maduro.

150
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 4: That was literally like an overnight lightning strike, and we

151
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 4: got in, achieved the goal, got out. But this is

152
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 4: not as well planned. And then the idea that we

153
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 4: could attack civilian infrastructure. Yes, you could argue that infrastructure

154
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 4: is also being used to further military goals. But there

155
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 4: are hosts of people in Iran that are not necessarily

156
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 4: loyal to the Iranian regime.

157
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: They've been just as terrorized and just as sure.

158
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: But the same goes for people in Israel.

159
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 5: There are people in Israel that don't necessarily support net

160
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 5: and Yahoo and everything he believes in.

161
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: So I mean, once again, this is war.

162
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 5: This is war, and unfortunately the people who didn't sign

163
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 5: up for.

164
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: It pay the most, and that's the civilians.

165
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 4: Darryl Isa, Congressman from California, said this is exactly what

166
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 4: we voted for and that the President will do what

167
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 4: he needs to do in Iran, including bombing civilian infrastructure

168
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 4: if that's what it calls for.

169
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 6: Congressman, do you want to see the US start hitting,

170
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 6: like the President says, civilian infrastructure in Iran?

171
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 9: Well, the answer is, of course, the President didn't want

172
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 9: to do it. He'd like to turn over to the

173
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 9: Iranian people a country that can recover quickly with a

174
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 9: change in the regime's behavior or a change of regime.

175
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 9: But from the beginning, the President's made it clear that

176
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 9: the first hit was to stop the nuclear development when

177
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 9: it was on the precipice of being used. The second

178
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 9: one is to change the behavior of the administration or

179
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 9: change administration, and the president is negotiation has been clear.

180
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 9: He'll take either one if this regime is willing to

181
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 9: change its ways through a negotiation that leads to a

182
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 9: profiable piece. Okay, But at the end of the day,

183
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 9: He'll do what he has to do, and that includes

184
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,119
Speaker 9: taking the oil away from them, taking away their ability

185
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 9: to move.

186
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 2: Equipment, and Peter, let's be honest.

187
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 9: When you take away bridges, you take away the ability

188
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 9: for them to transport future weapons development, to run factories.

189
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 7: Remember the magic words, please, thank you, and step off beats.

190
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: Now.

191
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 4: I have a couple responses to darryl Isa, the first

192
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 4: being I'm not sure you can say you're on the

193
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 4: precipice of developing a nuclear weapon when you're so called

194
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 4: on the precipice for more than thirty years. They've been

195
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 4: saying that over and over and over again. And at

196
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 4: what point, Jerry, does the intelligence become unreliable if they

197
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 4: never actually obtained the weapon. The second observation that I

198
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 4: have from that clip is we wouldn't be having this

199
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 4: problem if we never initiated the conflict to begin with.

200
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: The strait was already open. We didn't have to open

201
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: the straight. We closed the straight by.

202
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 4: Initiating the attack and Iran retaliated, So we've created this problem.

203
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 4: To my mind, Jerry, this is a self inflected wound

204
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 4: from the Trump administration at a time when Americans can

205
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 4: least afford it at a time when we are thirty

206
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 4: eight trillion dollars in national debt and the Pentagon is

207
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 4: holding its hand out and asking for another two hundred

208
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 4: billion just so we can prosecute this war.

209
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I see what you're saying.

210
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 5: I guess my biggest question is, then, what was Operation

211
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 5: Midnight Hammer that was last year?

212
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: Did that accomplish nothing?

213
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 5: That is an excellent question because we were told a

214
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 5: lot of this stuff was already blown up. But that correct,

215
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 5: So if that accomplished nothing, I could see we need

216
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 5: to go back in. But we weren't told that. We

217
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 5: were told we got rid of their capabilities.

218
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 4: To the contrary, Jerry, according to every intelligence agency in

219
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 4: the United States control, Donald Trump was absolutely correct that

220
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 4: as of last June, Operation Midnight Hammer. Yeah, their nuclear

221
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 4: capability had been obliterated.

222
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: So then what did we just obliterate?

223
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 4: Well, that's the real question. What is this war really

224
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 4: all about? Because stopping their nuclear capabilities we did that

225
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 4: last year seems to be a convenient excuse, but not

226
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 4: one that's rooted in reality. We're going to cover more

227
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 4: about the Iranian conflict coming up next. Stay tuned to

228
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 4: ninety three WIBC. How you are listening to ninety three WIBC,

229
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 4: Ethan Hatcher and Jerry Lopez on the air before we

230
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 4: dive into the Iran War once again. I wanted to

231
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 4: make a small correction from the previous segment. I saw

232
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 4: somebody in the YouTube chat mentioned did he just say

233
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 4: the birthplace of basketball was in Indiana? And yes, yes

234
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 4: I did, but apparently that was incorrect. I thought that

235
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 4: it was invented here in Indiana to give the Hoosier

236
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 4: kids something to do during the wintertime. It was invented

237
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 4: in Massachusetts. Sorry, that was a mistake on my part.

238
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 4: We did not invent the sport, We merely perfected it.

239
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 4: And yeah, an interesting stud.

240
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, so obviously invented by doctor James Naysmith out in Massachusetts.

241
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 5: But the reason that Indiana gets so much love for

242
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 5: basketball is twenty seven of the nation's top thirty five

243
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 5: largest basketball stadiums slash whatever are all located here.

244
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: They're all here in India, twenty.

245
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 5: Seven of the top thirty five in the country, the

246
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 5: biggest most housing number one being Newcastle Field House, which

247
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 5: seats eighty four hundred and twenty four people for high

248
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 5: school for high school basketball.

249
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 4: So yeah, this is why I don't talk about sportsketball

250
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 4: because I am not a fan and I'm prone to

251
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 4: make mistakes whenever I talk about it.

252
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 2: So there you go.

253
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 4: Just wanted to correct the record. But let's dive back

254
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 4: into the discussion. This was a story that you had

255
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 4: sent me, Jerry, that I think is very interesting. The

256
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 4: United States potentially deploying for the first time in the

257
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 4: Iranian conflict something that's called soft kill electronic warfare, using

258
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 4: microwaves to disrupt the enemy without even firing a bullet.

259
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,239
Speaker 2: This is a This is some wild technology.

260
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 10: One of the most dangerous electronic warfare comes from the

261
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 10: disshaped objects attached to this black Hawk helicopter. While the

262
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 10: Penzagon has an officially disclosed the specific hardware. Military experts

263
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 10: often call this a soft kill system. So how does

264
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 10: it actually work. To understand the weapon, you first have

265
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 10: to look at what it did. The most likely candidate

266
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 10: for a weapon that creates that kind of internal pressure

267
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 10: of that external sound is a high power microwave device.

268
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 10: It relies on something called the fray effect. The weapon,

269
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 10: probably carried by a Chinook or a black Hawk helicopter,

270
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 10: fires a focused beam of pulse microwave energy, not sound waves,

271
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 10: that passes.

272
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: Right through the skull.

273
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 10: These beams are absorbed by the water and the brain

274
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 10: tissue and the fluid in the inner ear. This energy

275
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 10: causes a minuscule rapid heating of the tissue less than

276
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 10: one degree celsius. But that tiny sun expansion generates a

277
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 10: pressure wave inside the skull. The consequence the target here's

278
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 10: this clicks buzzing or war that originates inside their ownreas

279
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 10: by passing the urge ups entirely. If the frequency is

280
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 10: tuned to the resonance of the inner ear, it violently

281
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 10: disrupts the body's balance, causing immediate fertigo. At higher power levels,

282
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 10: that rapid tissue expansion can ructri capillarias, leading to the

283
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 10: reported nosebleeds and internal trauma.

284
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, but you're scientist.

285
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 11: We're so preoccupied with whether or not they couldn't they

286
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 11: just stop to think because they should to do.

287
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 4: They're literally boiling people's brains. Jerry, Now you served in

288
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 4: the military. What do you think about this technology and

289
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 4: being used against humans?

290
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's phenomenal.

291
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 5: First of all, anything that can keep once again in

292
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 5: the war multiple times, anything that can keep us safe

293
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 5: and in the threat on their side.

294
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: I support it completely.

295
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 5: Now it gets weird we're talking about drones because we're

296
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 5: talking about kids in Vegas flying things and they're not

297
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 5: even really at war, right, but they're participating more.

298
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: Than any This is shades of them Nicholas Maduro.

299
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 5: When we went in there and we got Maduro, they

300
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 5: said that we use some microwave type techechnology, and all

301
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 5: of the people the guards dropped to their knees and

302
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 5: had blood come out of their ears and their noses

303
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 5: from this sensory device. So I think we're now just

304
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 5: starting to use a little bit more. It's a it's

305
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 5: a thing of the future. This is what we're going

306
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 5: to start seeing.

307
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 4: What I think is most exciting is it can disrupt

308
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 4: those drones. It can disrupt radar technology, and using this

309
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 4: against electronics I think is perfectly fair game. But the

310
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 4: problem is, Jerry, when you have technology like this, it

311
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 4: can also be used against you.

312
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: Just like the nuclear bomb.

313
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 4: You know, once you've unleashed it, you are desperately fearful

314
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 4: of having it be unleashed back upon you. And you

315
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 4: know when you were inflicting potentially horrific wounds on on on.

316
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 4: I mean it's indiscriminate, yes, against you know, the military army.

317
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 4: I think is perfectly valid. But you know, you got

318
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 4: to think a microwave has a pretty broad range.

319
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 5: I'm trying to find out where this is at. Oh,

320
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 5: so they've I'm gonna find this article. I'll find it

321
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 5: before next segment. But suppose we bought this technology off

322
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 5: the black market.

323
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: And I want to make sure that I reference it correctly.

324
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 5: Department of Homeland Security allegedly, and I will reference the

325
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 5: article so as we come back from break.

326
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: They bought this.

327
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 5: Somewhere and then used it in Venezuela for the first time.

328
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: This sounds like something we could have gotten from the Soviets.

329
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: Potentially, it sounds like a movie. But I want to

330
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: make sure I have it right. I do remember seeing

331
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: the article. I want to find it.

332
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 4: There was some other troubling reports coming from the conflict

333
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 4: in Iran. We may have made a mistake again, and Jerry.

334
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 4: History tends to repeat itself where the United States has

335
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 4: armed rebels foreign rebels overseas and it has turned out badly.

336
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 4: Just ask the people of Afghanistan after we armed the Taliban.

337
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: If you want to know.

338
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 5: Who we're gonna go to war with next, to see

339
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 5: who we have the invoice from.

340
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, in this case, it seems like we have sense

341
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 4: weapons to the Kurds in Iran to provide to Iranian protesters.

342
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 4: But according to the Trump administration, looks like the Kurds

343
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 4: they they might have kept the weapons.

344
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 8: The President also provided new details on what happened earlier

345
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 8: this year as the Iranian regime took to the streets

346
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 8: and slaughtered What the President tells me is forty five

347
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 8: thousand civilians in their own country. After that took place,

348
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 8: President Trump told me the United States sent guns to

349
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 8: the Iranian protesters. He tells me, we sent them a

350
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 8: lot of guns. We sent them through the Kurds, and

351
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 8: the President says he thinks the Kurds kept them. He

352
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 8: went on to say, we sent guns to the protesters,

353
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 8: a lot of them, and so a number of headlines

354
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 8: here from my conversation with President Trump, all of this

355
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 8: taking place more than a month into Operation Epic Fury.

356
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 8: I want to make sure I got this correctly. Are

357
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 8: you saying that the President told you that he sent

358
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 8: guns and the US government sent guns to the protesters

359
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 8: via the Kurdish, but the Kurdish kept some of the guns.

360
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: Correct.

361
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 8: The President tells me that the United States sent guns

362
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 8: to the Iranian protesters earlier this year. He says, we

363
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 8: sent them a lot of guns. We sent them through

364
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 8: the Kurds, and he thinks that the Kurds kept them. Remember,

365
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 8: the President made a commitment to the Iranian protesters who

366
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 8: were in the street to their country earlier this year.

367
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 8: Those images were circulating online of thousands of people who

368
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 8: were slaughtered at the hands of the Iranian regime. The

369
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 8: current regime, that is, he is attacking US forces as

370
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 8: we speak.

371
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 7: I guess I just picked a whole bouquet of oopsie daisies.

372
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: How Jerry, how do we keep making this mistake? Is

373
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: what I want to know.

374
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 4: We've given weapons to the talip bomb that later took

375
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 4: control of Afghanistan. The Obama administration helped arm the Mexican

376
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 4: drug cartels. He sent weapons, allowed them to procure and

377
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 4: then lost the weapons, sent them to drug cartels. We've

378
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 4: sent weapons to Nicaragua in the past, We've sent weapons

379
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 4: to Iran. It's too fun. Nicaragua too fun. The Contras.

380
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 4: Do you do you remember the Ali North scandal.

381
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: Yep, Yeah, how about this one.

382
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 5: Do you remember when we started funding the rebels in

383
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 5: Syria and those guys let her became an offset ofvisis,

384
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 5: Like how about the people driving around right now in Afghanistan?

385
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: Until Yoda for runners.

386
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 4: History doesn't always repeat itself, but it often rhymes, and

387
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 4: that's I think what we're seeing with arming the Kurds

388
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 4: and the Kurds keeping the weapon.

389
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 5: Now to this point, the Kurds have played ball with

390
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 5: us for the most part, but now we know they

391
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 5: have weapons, and that's always a problem when you don't

392
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 5: know for anytime you harm it.

393
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, anytime you give.

394
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 5: Weapons or emulation to anybody else, you just always run

395
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 5: the risk. And so far it seems like we've taken

396
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 5: the wrong side of that every time.

397
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 4: The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend,

398
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 4: and that's been proven time and time again. And going

399
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 4: back to you know, Oliver North, the Iran Contra scandal,

400
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 4: when we armed Iran, we gave weapons to Iran, weapons

401
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 4: that may even be potentially used against us to this day,

402
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 4: and that was wonderfully summarized by this educational song.

403
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 7: In the eighties, there was Cold War trama. We bought

404
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 7: the Commies inside our runs with a contrast. Freedom was there,

405
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 7: presso we sent them lots of.

406
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 2: Money for guns and land muns.

407
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 7: Congress stuff the contra money for just because they moved

408
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 7: a teeny bit of fool.

409
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: But then a hero came schort.

410
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 7: His name was Oliver North.

411
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 2: Ian Reagan went.

412
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 7: Around the sissy Congress only oly Nor because he North

413
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 7: secretly sold missiles to a harmless country called Iran that

414
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 7: would always be a greatful ally. Then he gave the

415
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 7: profits to the Countrans genius, but the sales.

416
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 2: Were uncovered by the press. Hegan the north Win began.

417
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 7: To stress because what they did was technically high treason,

418
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 7: but it was totally justified.

419
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 4: Unforced airs on the part of American foreign policy.

420
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 2: Time and time again.

421
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 4: How many times do we have to repeat that the

422
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 4: the Middle East conflicts Allen do not seem to work

423
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 4: out in our favor.

424
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 5: Jerry for sure, And guess what we found that article.

425
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 5: In twenty twenty six, Department of Homeland Security Investigations acquired

426
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 5: a mysterious handheld device to an undercover operation on the

427
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 5: black market. The device is at the center of a

428
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 5: Pentagon funded investigation due to links of Havana syndrome. You

429
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 5: remember that do I do and that was supposed to

430
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 5: be coming from Russia and they bought this thing for

431
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 5: eight figures tens of millions of dollars. Wow, And next

432

00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 4: can you believe I mean candies get really pricey?

452
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 5: Well, the part that sticks out to me the most

453
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 5: is when does candy get pricey?

454
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: Right?

455
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,800

457
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:52,840

00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,399

Speaker 4: appreciate children or else.

464
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,399

Speaker 4: marshmallow fluff has gone from a dollar twenty five to

476
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 4: a dollar seventy five in six years. I mean, like

477
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 4: everything else at the grocery store, we continue to beat

478
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 4: plagued by inflation and this war and Iran hasn't done

479
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 4: us any favors, increasing the energy cost and by thereby

480
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 4: the production cost for literally everything we do. I mean,

481
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 4: petroleum is involved in everything, not just the manufacture of goods,

482
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 4: but also the packaging of goods. You gotta say it much,

483
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 4: the shipping, the transportation across the country, and that all

484
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 4: filters down and it affects you, It affects me, it

485
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 4: affects everybody.

486
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the problem.

487
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 5: And the independent truck driver who's delivering our goods and

488
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 5: services has to spend more for fuel. Therefore he's got

489
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 5: a pass that cost along. But you made a great

490
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 5: point here at the bottom of these prices. Sure, the

491
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 5: prices have gone up, but in a lot of cases,

492
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 5: the amount of whatever you've bought has gone down. The

493
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 5: cantbrea miny eggs shrink from ten ounce to nine ounce.

494
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 5: I like to order pizza. I am a get a

495
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 5: nacho cheese on the side every time I get pizza.

496
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 5: And I've noticed that the nacho cheese at Pizza Hut,

497
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 5: what's smaller than it used to be, but it costs

498
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 5: twice as much.

499
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 4: It's very true that the shrinkflation. The first time I

500
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 4: ever heard that term was during the Biden administration and

501
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 4: now just seems to be an average part of the

502
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 4: everyday lexicon, in order just to attempt to keep the

503
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 4: prices stable. But they're still not stable. They're still increasing anyway.

504
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 4: But they are also shrinking the packaging just to put

505
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 4: some kind of control on the skyrocketing cost of everything,

506
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 4: of every aspect of our lives. Jerry and the economy.

507
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 4: Although we got a rosy jobs report overall, according to

508
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 4: the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, there appears to be

509
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 4: net zero job creation in the private sector. To the

510
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 4: extent that jobs are being created, so called it's done,

511
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 4: it's being done in the federal government, and that's at

512
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 4: a cost that comes from you, because that's taxpayer expense.

513
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: Here was the report from the Federal Reserve Chair.

514
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 3: The thing that I think good number of people in

515
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 3: the committee are concerned about. Is just the very very

516
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 3: low level of job creation. If you adjust what has

517
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 3: been the trend job creation over the past let's say

518
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 3: six months, If you adjust that for what we think

519
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 3: our staff thinks is the overstatement due to overcounting, effectively,

520
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 3: there's zero net job creation in the private sector.

521
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: Surely you can't be serious.

522
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 3: I am serious, and don't call me.

523
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: Surely that's not the news you want to hear, Jerry.

524
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't even know who to believe.

525
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: Dude, Let's just be honest.

526
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 5: They expected what sixty thousand jobs, they come back and

527
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 5: say we got three times more than that, and now

528
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 5: we have him coming out and saying it's effectively net zero.

529
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 5: I don't know who to believe. There's so many people talking.

530
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 5: You can't tell me one hundred and seventy eight thousand

531
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 5: jobs were all created in the government.

532
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: If they were, that's a problem. That's a problem.

533
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 4: Well, the numbers are most likely going to be revised lower.

534
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 4: That was a trick that was started by the Obama administration.

535
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 4: Remember they'd trot out these rosy jobs reports and then

536
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 4: a month or two later, so they get the benefit

537
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 4: of all the headlines, and then a month or two

538
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 4: later they'd oh, well, we revised him down. Turns out

539
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 4: there there was a correction. We didn't have the correct

540
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 4: We have a new one come out in thirty more days.

541
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 2: Exactly.

542
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: Just bought kicking the can down the road.

543
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 4: Yes, And I tend to believe the Federal Reserve Chair,

544
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 4: especially when he has now been sounding the alarm over

545
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 4: the state of the national debt. And when the Federal

546
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 4: Reserve Chair is telling you that the government has been

547
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 4: using the magical money printing factory too much and too often,

548
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 4: I think that's a problem because they're the ones running

549
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 4: the money printing factory.

550
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 5: Isn't that funny, right, you're running the problem. You're bert, Hey,

551
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 5: you're using too much of our ink.

552
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 4: But we've seen the effects of what that magical money

553
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 4: printing factory does on the value of our dollar. And

554
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 4: so the largest portion of the debt has been driven

555
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 4: by Donald Trump. That's that's just a flat fact. He

556
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 4: is the opposite of a fiscal conservative. He spent his

557
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 4: life being a lifelong Democrat, and I think we see

558
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 4: that coming out in his fiscal policy.

559
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 5: I think that if we really wanted to get down

560
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 5: to the to the nuts and bolts of all this.

561
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 5: We would be head first going into the fraud that's

562
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 5: taking taking place across the country.

563
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: Those are also printed dollars.

564
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 5: Those are more than likely Federal Reserve printed dollars because

565
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 5: they're used for benefits. Right, They're not profit dollars or

566
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 5: not payroll dollars. Those are printed dollars given by the government.

567
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,719
Speaker 5: Let's get into that, let's get rid of all of

568
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 5: the fraud, and let's see how much we really need

569
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:10,719
Speaker 5: your printing machine.

570
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 4: Oh, don't you worry, Jerry, because coming up, I believe

571
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 4: it's an hour three we're going to cover the California fraud,

572
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 4: which is now eclipsing by many times the fraud that

573
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 4: was uncovered in Minnesota.

574
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 2: So just wait.

575
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: Wow.

576
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 2: Yes, we will be.

577
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 4: Getting to the levels of fraud, waste, and abuse that

578
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 4: are effervescing from every corner of the country. But before

579
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 4: we do, I also wanted to cover a very interesting story,

580
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 4: and this was one that you sent.

581
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: This is not a good thing at all.

582
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 4: No no, no, no, no, no no, because it is the

583
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 4: state working in conjunction with the banking sector. In this case,

584
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 4: Mexican President Cloudy A. Shine Boum, which is go figure, Yeah,

585
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 4: Mexican President. Sometimes the jokes right themselves. But she made

586
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 4: this announcement and see if you can field some translation

587
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 4: for us there.

588
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:12,719
Speaker 11: Jerry, let's less Travis and they're clappy.

589
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: She basically just said we're getting rid of cash.

590
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 11: Seemless famous Bermita and Alansarin.

591
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: Travense m. Yeah.

592
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 5: So anything, anything that's going to be used to be

593
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 5: used for public services in Mexico will no longer be

594
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 5: able to be paid for in cash.

595
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 4: Not just public services, but also gasoline if you go

596
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 4: to fill up your car in Mexico, no more cash allowed,

597
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 4: which is significant because they are a fairly cash dependent nation.

598
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 4: Cash used for roughly eighty percent of transactions in Mexico

599
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 4: according to estimates, So it's.

600
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: Kind of a big thing here.

601
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 5: We've talked about we don't want, we don't want the

602
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 5: digital we don't want the digital dollar. We don't want

603
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 5: the digital dollar, which leads me to a question that

604
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 5: I want to ask you. I wanted to bring this

605
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 5: up on is this anything on? Hammer and Nigel didn't

606
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 5: get a chance to The gas station I go to

607
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 5: has a sign on it that says due to the

608
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 5: phasing out of the penny. We will no longer be

609
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 5: accepting pennies. Wait, they don't accept pennies, Well, will no

610
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 5: longer pennies.

611
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: You should be forced to accept my currency.

612
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: It's our legal tender.

613
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 5: That's a sign on the Noblesville Speedway we will not

614
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 5: take your penny.

615
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 2: Those are some elitists up there in Noblesville. But I

616
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 2: don't think that's.

617
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 4: Company that's illegal. Yeah, well, it's legal tender. As long

618
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 4: as it's still being circulated, you should be able to

619
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 4: use your penny absolutely.

620
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 5: And now they're phasing out one of our coins. Mexico's

621
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 5: phasing out everything.

622
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 4: And this could potentially be laying the groundwork for an

623
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 4: all digital currency here in the United States, which would

624
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 4: be a disaster and would further empower the state to

625
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 4: track and monitor every little aspect of your life and

626
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 4: hold that over your head and exert even more con

627
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 4: And that's the real issue here for control.

628
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 5: First a digital currency, then comes a social credit score.

629
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and AI monitoring, which is also something we'll be

630
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 4: covering an hour three of the show. Lots to cover.

631
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 4: Stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen. Coming up next. I got

632
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 4: a Pressley Squad member says that eviction is an act

633
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 4: of violence.

634
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: Stay tuned for that ridiculousness.

635
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 4: Up next, sat beat Us Boodse So it was time

636
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 4: for change.

637
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 2: Chewed the song and its ministers.

638
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 4: Stage producer keV coming through with the wonderful bump music

639
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 4: selection once again. Who doesn't want the holding stones? Thanks

640
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 4: for listening to ninety three WIVC. I'm Ethan Hatcher. That's

641
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 4: Jerry Lopez, and we wanted to discuss. Iana Presley, a

642
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 4: renowned member of the Squad, hadn't heard that socialist chirp

643
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 4: for a while, but she came out of the woodwork

644
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 4: once again, now saying that eviction is an act of violence.

645
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 12: Jerry, eviction is an act of violence and we have

646
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 12: to do everything to prevent it. It is devastating for

647
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 12: the families, It degrades the help of communities. There is

648
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 12: great stigma associated with it and affects your credit score.

649
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 13: Housing is a human right. It is a predictor of

650
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 13: health outcomes. It's essential for social and economic mobility, and

651
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 13: so many people when they receive a note to wit

652
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 13: or to vacate their homes, usually because of non payment

653
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 13: because wages are not keeping pace with inflation, they don't

654
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 13: know their rights, and a lot of.

655
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 12: Times they will just accept that notice to quit and lead.

656
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 13: And so my legislation is making sure that.

657
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 11: They have access to legal.

658
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 12: Housings because we've found that when tenants know their rights,

659
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 12: when they have access to legal counsel, we can usually

660
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 12: keep them safely housed no offense.

661
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 2: But it sounds like that's a comic gobbledy gook.

662
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 5: In this case, I'm gonna know my role and know

663
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 5: that you have multiple tenants, and I'm gonna let you

664
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 5: drive this one home because you're probably the way better

665
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 5: speak on it.

666
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 4: Why is it always an active violence to evict people

667
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 4: for not paying, but it's not an active of violence

668
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 4: to not pay. I feel pretty violated every sign somebody's

669
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 4: shacking up in my house using my stuff. Sometimes I

670
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 4: gotta pay for their utilities, their mortgage, their property taxes.

671
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 4: But it's not an active violence for them to stiff me.

672
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 4: It's an act of violence for me to kick them

673
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 4: out when they don't pay. That's ridiculous. I am so

674
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 4: tired of Aana Presley who doesn't have two snaps's to

675
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:46,719
Speaker 4: rub together, and now threatening to provide legal representation.

676
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 2: For these people. A tax payer expense.

677
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 4: That's just going to cause rent to go up even

678
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 4: further and make life less affordable for those who can

679
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 4: least afford it, you know, Ron, thanks for listening to

680
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 4: ninety three WIBC, Ethan Hatcher and Jerry Lowe has one

681
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 4: hour down, two to go.

682
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 2: Don't miss a moment, Stay tuned
