1
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: This is America's trunking network with Kevin Gordon.

2
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: Welcome aboard, Thanks for tuning in on this Tuesday morning

3
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 2: kind of start off with some tragic news. Our hearts

4
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 2: and prayers go out to the victims of that LaGuardia crash,

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 2: especially the two pilots that were killed in that awful crash.

6
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: It appears as though well according to the information, collision

7
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 2: of which occurred around eleven forty pm Sunday, involved an

8
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: Air Canada Express flight eight six four six, which had

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 2: departed from Montreal and landon Laguardi late Sunday. Of course,

10
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 2: the night CRJA nine hundred jet was operated by Jazz

11
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: Aviation LP, which was a statement preleminary passenger list in

12
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: the case of the flight was carrying seventy two passengers

13
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: for crew members. Appears that have after it landed, the

14
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: plane's ground speed slowed from roughly one hundred and fifty

15
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: one miles per hour to roughly twenty four miles per

16
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: hour within a minute, according to the flight Radar twenty four.

17
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: Additional information. Of course, the two pilots were killed.

18
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: Forty one passengers and crew members were taken to the hospital.

19
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: According to Catherine Garcia, the executive director of Airport Operator

20
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 2: Airport Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, said

21
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: a news conference early Monday, said thirty two of them

22
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: had been released and that some of the others had

23
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: been seriously injured. Two officers in the fire truck were

24
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: among those hospitalized and were in stable condition. Miss Garcia

25
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: said the truck was responding to a call from another

26
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: aircraft whose pilot had reported an issue with oder in

27
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: the cabin. As she said, it appears as though the

28
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: air traffic controller at the New York Laguardi Airport may

29
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: have been distracted at the time of a runway collision

30
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: that killed two people on Sunday night. According to the reports, investigators,

31
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: let me see, the pilots were dead, of course, two pilots.

32
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: The investigators were working on Monday to determine how the

33
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: air candidate jet and Port Authority truck collided. Now, apparently

34
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: it seemed, at least in some of the reports that

35
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: I was watching yesterday, that there were again mentioning there

36
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: that there had been an incident that the air traffic

37
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: controller may have been distracted. Now, some of the discussion

38
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: was that you have what they referred to as air

39
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: traffic controllers and ground traffic controllers up there in the tower,

40
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: and one group is supposed to be paying attention to

41
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: what's going on the ground in terms of trucks loading

42
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: facility that you know, the stuff the stairways going up,

43
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 2: or the things going out from the terminal to unload passengers,

44
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: and of course any of the trucks that are moving

45
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: around the area itself when they can cross, when they

46
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: can't cross, and they're supposed to coordinate this.

47
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: But some of the discussion was and I guess we'll.

48
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: Find out more and more about this, but it appeared

49
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: as though that they were doing as somebody was doing

50
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: both jobs, which people were saying is similar to what

51
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: happened in d C last year when that helicopter crashed

52
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: in the back end of that jet that was taking

53
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 2: what was there in DC.

54
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: But you know, with the.

55
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: Funding and the air traffic controllers during that forty three

56
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: day Schumer shutdown, when these air traffic controllers were going

57
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: without pay, a number of them quit and said, we're

58
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: not putting up with this anymore. We've got too much responsibility.

59
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: We've got it's a hectic job, and if we're not

60
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: getting paid we're going to have to take outside jobs

61
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: in order to get.

62
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how many of them.

63
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: I never really did see a report as to how

64
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: many of these air traffic controllers actually came back or

65
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: if they quit along the process. Because again, if you're

66
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: not getting paid, you're still got bills to pay, You've

67
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: still got mortgages to pay, you still got to put

68
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: food on the table, and you can't, you know, you

69
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: go to the job. So, you know, like what we're

70
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: seeing with the TSA right now, some of these people

71
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: are not reporting to work because they're taking a job

72
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: someplace elf, you know, doing uber or whatever the heck they're.

73
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: Doing in order to make ends meet.

74
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 2: And the fact that this forty three day Schumer shut

75
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: down just because they wanted to make sure that they

76
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: were giving tax deductions or reduced healthcare costs to illegal aliens,

77
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: and because this current shutdown with the TSA and the

78
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 2: inconvenience of the people at the airport over the fact

79
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: that they want ice to be unmasked, that they want

80
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: them to be so that, I guess, so that they

81
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 2: can target them more and so that they can then

82
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: docks them, follow them home, harass them, possibly even kill them,

83
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: which is I think what the Democrats want them to do.

84
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: I mean, these Democrats are so out of control, and

85
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: nobody in the media except some of the conservative news

86
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: outlets are even talking about this. We've got the Department

87
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: of Homeland Security which is partially shut down at a

88
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: time when we have the highest threats to this country

89
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: from terrorism.

90
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: I just don't get it.

91
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: And then when we have crashes like this, it makes

92
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: it even worse because this could possibly have been prevented

93
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 2: had it been fully stabbed and the funds be there available,

94
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: But no, that's going to be tied up in the

95
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 2: budget because the Democrats are throwing a hissy fit because

96
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: they want illegal aliens in this country.

97
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: I just don't get it.

98
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: But anyway, again, our hearts and prayers go out to

99
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: the families there, and it's just an absolute tragedy. Looking

100
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: at the pictures, I remember looking at that while I

101
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: saw the pictures late last night before well before I

102
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: went to bed early Monday more morning, and at first

103
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: I was looking at the at the pictures and it

104
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 2: looked like the aircraft had had rolled well, had rolled

105
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: over this truck and was sticking up in the air.

106
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: But on further analysis or further look.

107
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: When the pictures came out later on yesterday, the front

108
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 2: end of that was sheared off and that was what

109
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 2: was hanging down. It wasn't being supported by anything. All

110
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: of that was the cabin, the flight control and everything

111
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: just dangling from there. And those pilots had no chance

112
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: of surviving this. It was just incredible and again our

113
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: hearts and prayers go out to them. And what a tragedy,

114
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: what an absolute tragedy. And again overworking the air traffic

115
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 2: controllers at a time when there's heightened alerts and so

116
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: on is just needs to be dealt with and the

117
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 2: budget figure need to be done properly so that those

118
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 2: are fully stabbed. Of course, this week we're heading down

119
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: to Matz. Be down there Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Hope

120
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: a number of you can stop by and love to

121
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: talk to you and see what's going on. Gets your

122
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: impression of what's going on, not only in the trucking world,

123
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: but as far as the economy as a whole. What

124
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: you're seeing, what you're experiencing, and kind of gets your

125
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: temperature in terms of what you're seeing now and then

126
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: what you're for seeing in the future. Again, if you've

127
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: not been to MATTZ, I would suggest that you go.

128
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: I mean you can still register online. Our booth down

129
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: there in Louisville the Expo Center will before zero five

130
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: seven seven in the north wing lobby.

131
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: We are right near the escalator.

132
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: In fact, if you're coming down the escalator from that

133
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: second floor and you happen to lose your balance, and

134
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: you know how you see some of these people when

135
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,239
Speaker 2: they lose their balance, it takes them like fifteen twenty

136
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 2: yards before they fall, falling right in our lap. But

137
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: we're right around the corner from Reese across America Women

138
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: and trucking. Across the hallway or across the aisle will

139
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: be uh the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and we're

140
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 2: and right off to our right hand side will be

141
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: where the north Wing registration will be.

142
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: So that kind of gives.

143
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: You an idea of where that is located in what

144
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: is going on. And again, if you've never been to

145

00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 3: A Network on seven hundred WLW. A malfunctioning battery, a

175
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: cool suit that got very hot, and a big deficit

176
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: to lead with less than fifty laps remaining at Darlington Raceway,

177
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: Tyler Redigg overcame all of that to pick up his

178
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: fourth win in six NASCAR Cup Series races this season.

179
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 3: Reddick joins Dale Earnhardt Senior in nineteen eighty seven and

180
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 3: Bill Elliott nineteen ninety two as the only drivers that

181
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 3: reached that feat in NASCAR history. The problem started early

182
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 3: on the first lap for Reddick, who radioed in about

183
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 3: an alternator problem as the team swapped the battery into

184
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: his camera after the first stage, but the charging problem remained.

185
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: He had to turn off his cockpit fans and the

186
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 3: power to the cool suit, but rallied for another victory.

187
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 3: Reddick was a runner up three times at Darlington, but

188
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: now a win, overcoming adversity to do the job.

189
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 4: Ever since I made my first lap here in a

190
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 4: Rale Auto Parts car, There's just some about this racetracks

191
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 4: is show special, just so challenging, and it's been really

192
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 4: fun for my evolution as a driver over the years,

193
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 4: my time in a rally, auto parts card, my time

194
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 4: at RCR and and what we perfected my time here

195
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 4: at twenty three eleven. So he just really proud of everybody.

196
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 4: And it's cool to get boss Man as fourth went

197
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 4: under year.

198
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 5: And how about Michael Jordan unbelievable car and you know,

199
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 5: you never know what's going to happen, especially at Darlington,

200
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 5: and I think that, you know, the key to him

201
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 5: winning was, you know, just keeping his head. You know,

202
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 5: I think Billy did a good job of trying to

203
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 5: keep him calm. We knew we had a fast car.

204
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 5: We knew we on a thirty lap run, we were

205
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 5: real good. On the short lap run, we were real good.

206
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 5: So we just had to get the car right, and

207
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 5: you know, he kept his composure and I think he

208
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 5: did an unbelievable job.

209
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 3: Also this weekend, Portia Penske cars ran one two at

Speaker 2: By the way, as I mentioned, they will be down

235
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: at Matts as well. We will be actually our booth. Well,

236
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: if you come in the lobby, the North lobby there,

237
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: you'll be coming into the area where you go to

238
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 2: the registration and you'll be looking right at their booth

239
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 2: there on the corner. We are right behind that, And

240
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 2: just to give you an indication of where that would be,

241
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: their booth number is four zero six eight zero. Ours

242
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 2: is four zero five seven seven, so we are directly

243
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 2: right behind them.

244
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:39,599
Speaker 1: I'll be having.

245
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 2: Whoever they have and see a couple of the people

246
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 2: from Reese Cross America Jeff Pearson Chris I can't think

247
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: of his last name off the top of my head.

248
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 2: They will one of the two of them will be there,

249
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 2: and we'll probably have them on the show talking to

250
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 2: them about what's going on. I will probably be on

251
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: one of their shows talking about America's Trucking Network and

252
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: so on, because we have that great relationship with them.

253
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: And again, if you're there at the show, stop by

254
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: their booth and get some information on them. Because that

255
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: is an absolutely fantastic organization.

256
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: They can tell you all about it. I'm seeing some

257
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: this is interesting.

258
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 2: I saw this last week and I've been trying to

259
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: figure out why they are doing this. But I'm guessing,

260
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: just like we have with holiday sales and stuff, where

261
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: instead of it being the Christmas season from the you know,

262
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: the day after Thanksgiving up until Christmas, we start seeing

263
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: these sales.

264
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: Well you know, they.

265
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: Started like two weeks before Christmas or before Thanksgiving a

266
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 2: few years ago. Now we're starting to see Christmas stuff

267
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 2: displays in stores even before Halloween is over, and so

268
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: they keep moving up these dates of when they start

269
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 2: doing Christmas sales. Before you know it, we're going to

270
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: be having well what am I? What am I saying?

271
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: We already have it Christmas in July. I mean how

272
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: many times you know, got the Hallmarks shows that Christmas

273
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: in July, and Home Shopping Network and whatever they have

274
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: their Christmas in July, and different stores have Christmas in July.

275
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 2: So I guess, you know, we're just going to have

276
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: the entire holiday season from the July up until Christmas

277
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: or something like that. But Amazon has moved their Prime

278
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: Day into June from July. Amazon dot Com is moving

279
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: its annual Prime Day sale to June from July, according

280
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: to the people familiar with the matter, shifting the schedule

281
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: for an event that's become a big part of the

282
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: e commerce economy. Now I can see, on the one hand,

283
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: how this would make sense, because you know, obviously June

284
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 2: is the.

285
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: Middle of e is the middle of the year.

286
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: So if you're big time for purchasing an all online

287
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: sales during the Christmas season, that you would want to

288
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 2: do that again six months later and get those online

289
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: sales going as opposed to waiting until July. But this

290
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 2: is going to disrupt to a certain extent the flow

291
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: in terms of retail sales, and of course it's going

292
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 2: to look different, and that's going to have to be

293
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: a special note on their financial statements because if they're well,

294
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: their quarter ends in June, and generally the July figures

295
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: would be reported in the third quarter. Now these sales

296
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: are going to be reported in the second quarter, and

297
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 2: from a year to year comparison, that's going to throw

298
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: things off. But you know that'll have to count for

299
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 2: that through their notes as far as their accounting statements

300
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: are concerned. The timing's expected to be late June, said

301
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: the people who asked not to be identified because the

302
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: plans aren't aren't public yet. I mean, what is it

303
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: with people that you know when you have something being planned.

304
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 2: I guess somebody they want to be the first person

305
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 2: to actually report something. So people with the company will

306
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 2: leak this stuff out, I guess just to make themselves relevant,

307
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 2: because you always hear these situations where this is coming

308
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 2: from somebody anonymously who is not permitted or at liberty

309
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 2: to speak on behalf of the company, and so these

310
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 2: things leak out. Change will effect both Amazon and his

311
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: constellation of third party vendors, which count on the discounting

312
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 2: surge to attract shoppers. Since Amazon captures about forty cents

313
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: of every dollar spent online, the timing of Prime Day

314
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 2: is also closely watched by competitors, which look to draft

315
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: off of the promotions and web traffic so people and again,

316
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 2: this is going to kind of cause a little bit

317
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 2: of an issue with these other companies like Target or

318
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 2: Walmart or whoever that you know, they plan their certain

319
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 2: sales around that time and so they have those things

320
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: in place, and generally in retail you have a kind

321
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 2: of like a six month planning stage of where right now,

322
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 2: well not quite yet, probably next month or the month

323
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 2: after is when a lot of these buyers and these

324
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 2: stores are actually buying the stuff that they're going to

325
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 2: be selling at Christmas. So buyers at these different locations,

326
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 2: whether it's you know, federated stores, the individual Macy's or

327
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 2: any of those stores, or Walmart or so on, they

328
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 2: their buyers actually have to be thinking about six to

329
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 2: seven months ahead of time in order to make the

330
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: acquisitions and what they think will be hot at that

331
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 2: particular point in time. And so Walmart and Target have

332
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 2: been planning or had been planning, I guess, to roll

333
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 2: out whatever sales they were going to do in July,

334
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 2: and now this is going to kind of push their

335
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: projects up a little bit further. So it's kind of

336
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: going to disrupt the retail sector to a certain extent.

337
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see how this pops out. Let

338
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 2: me see Amazon launch Summer Sale in twenty fifteen to

339
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 2: attract new Prime members, who pay one hundred and thirty

340
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 2: nine dollars a year for shipping, discounts, video streaming, and

341
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 2: other perks. Over the past decade, company has attempted to

342
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: keep Prime Day fresh and exciting, the challenge that faced

343
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 2: the numerous rival events. Last year, Amazon stretched Prime Day

344
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: to four days from two, which gave shoppers more time

345
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 2: to browse, but also reduce the sense of urgency to

346
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: make purchases at the moment. And see, you've always got

347
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,719
Speaker 2: that balancing act where you know, you want to have

348
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 2: something with a sense of urgency and you want to

349
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 2: get people in at a specific time, but because of

350
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 2: certain things, you know, then they start stretching that to

351
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 2: oh well, now Prime Day is now Prime Days. Just

352
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 2: like you have old President's Day sale that starts about

353
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 2: a week and a half before President's Day and extends

354
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 2: a week and a half after President's Day. You know,

355
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: Independence Day sales and all these sort of things. It's always,

356
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 2: you know, kind of get away from that sense of urgency,

357
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 2: which kind of hurts them to a certain extent. But again,

358
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, put this on a slightly political basis,

359
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 2: You're supposed to have election Day on a specific day. Well,

360
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 2: now all of a sudden, it's like, okay, election Day

361
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: actually starts a month six weeks before the actual election

362
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: day to give people plenty of time to exercise their

363
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: right to vote. Again, that's something that I rail at

364
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 2: now in the retail sector. Again, if you do away

365
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 2: with that sense of urgency that you've got to do

366
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 2: this right here, right now, and that people can delay

367
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,959
Speaker 2: that by a couple of days. But then again, you know,

368
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 2: if you wait, then you're going to be missing some

369
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 2: of the individual sales and so on. Latest change his

370
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 2: implications Amazon as I report. As I mentioned earlier, Amazon's

371
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: financial reporting with sales from the event coming in the

372
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 2: second quarter rather than in the third. Let me see

373
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 2: online spending across all retails during last year's four days

374
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 2: sail increased thirty percent from the year earlier. Events from

375
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 2: Walmart and Target typically overlap Amazons, et cetera, et cetera. Now,

376
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 2: you know, in the Gordon Household, the availability at the

377
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 2: individual stores have been you know, especially on hard goods

378
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, it has kind of been difficult

379
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 2: to actually go and see what some of these things

380
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 2: look like because they don't have them on at the individual.

381
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: Brook Brook brick and mortar stores.

382
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 2: And so a lot of the purchases that we're doing

383
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 2: here at the you know, at the Gordon Household have

384
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: been done online and we have been before we were

385
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 2: probably not very active on that, maybe once or twice

386
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 2: a year, and now it's three four times a month

387
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: depending upon what it is now. Still it's very difficult

388
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 2: to buy, at least for me and my wife to

389
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 2: actually buy any clothes online because again you try to

390
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: pick the sizes and stuff like that, and a lot

391
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: of times those orders aren't quite right. But as far

392
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 2: as some of the other items like I get copying

393
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 2: ink and other supplies and stuff like that, it's more comfortable,

394
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 2: it's more easy, and it's more efficient to buy online

395
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 2: than to go out waste the time going to the stores.

396
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: So again I can see how this is cropping up

397
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: to where these sales are increasing up to thirty percent

398
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 2: more than the previous year. We're going to get into

399
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: an oil and gas price on what's going on as

400
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 2: far as that sector and as far as what's.

401
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: Going on in the middle least coming up.

402
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 2: I'm Kevin Gordon America Struck A Network seven hundred WLW.

00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: Kind of take a look at the oil and gas

412
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 2: price that to man are they? I thought last week

413
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 2: and the comp past couple of weeks been a roller

414
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 2: coaster ride, but and this past weekend it was even

415
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: it was even more. And then of course on on Monday,

416
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 2: we'll get into that coming up. By the way, if

417
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 2: you miss any part of our program, miss any of

418
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 2: our shows, make sure you hit up that iHeartRadio app

419
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 2: brought to you by our friends at Rush Truck Centers,

420
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,959
Speaker 2: West tex Cinemedia Crude currently is at eighty seven dollars

421
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 2: and thirty three cents a barrel. That's down almost eleven

422
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 2: dollars ten dollars and ninety cents a barrel, or eleven

423
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 2: point one percent. Brent Krude currently is at ninety eight

424
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 2: dollars and sixty cents, finally down below that one hundred

425
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 2: dollars mark, or down thirteen dollars and fifty nine sense

426
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 2: of barrel or twelve point eleven twelve point one one percent.

427
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: It started off because on Saturday, President Trump announced that

428
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 2: if the Strait of Hormuz isn't opened within forty eight hours,

429
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 2: that they were gonna we were going to start taking

430
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 2: on and taking out their electrical grid, their infrastructure and

431
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 2: so on. Not their oil capabilities, but the electrical grid.

432
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 2: And then of course Iran came back with, oh, well,

433
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: you know, we still have nukes, We're gonna we're gonna

434
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: nuke the whole area. We're gonna, you know, sink your

435
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 2: ships and all this sort of stuff and a lot

436
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 2: of threats coming out of that. Then late Sunday and

437
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 2: into Monday, there was discussion that there had been an

438
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 2: open channel with and in fact Trump was on the

439
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 2: tarmac and was given kind of an impromptu press conference

440
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: talking about there are some negotiations going on with some

441
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 2: trusted people or people that have a lot of respect

442
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: in Iran that are going to be doing these negotiations.

443
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 2: But then the head of the parliament, if there is

444
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 2: such a thing in Iran, given the fact that it's

445
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 2: a theiocracy dictatorship, that really, why do you have a

446
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: parliament if the iatola is going to make all the laws.

447
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 2: So it's kind of a figure, you know, I guess

448
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 2: it's a fake assembly or whatever, but he was claiming

449
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 2: that there's no such negotiations and taking a very tough stance.

450
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 2: But with what they're seeing, that is effected because when

451
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 2: it was mentioned that this on Saturday, that there was

452
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 2: going to be these attacks on the electrical grid, oil

453
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 2: actually got up to one hundred and thirteen dollars a barrel.

454
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 2: Didn't get up to that one hundred and nineteen that

455
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 2: it did that first weekend of the.

456
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: Epic fury.

457
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 2: It got up to one hundred and thirteen, but then

458
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 2: almost immediately came back down from that and has been

459
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 2: coming down dramatically since then. And even with all the

460
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: saber rattling that Iran has been doing on Monday, that

461
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: oil prices still didn't go up because apparently, well not apparently.

462
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: It appears as.

463
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 2: Though whatever their bluster is, they don't seem to be

464
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 2: able to back that up, or have been able to

465
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 2: back that up, you know, fingers crossed that they don't

466
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 2: because they have been claiming that they're going to be,

467
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: you know, keep firing rockets into cutter Saudi Arabia, et cetera.

468
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: And if this doesn't tell and what's interesting is that,

469
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 2: you know, they thought that if they were to attack

470
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 2: their neighbors, that their neighbors would say, hey, we're not

471
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 2: part of this, we don't want to be part of this,

472
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 2: and would turn on the United States and Israel and

473
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 2: support Iran, which kind of does make any sense. If

474
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: you know, if you're if you see two people fighting

475
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 2: and you're trying to and you're trying to encourage them

476
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 2: not to fight, and one of them comes over and

477
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 2: punches you, you're not suddenly going to side with him

478
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 2: or her against the person that they're fighting with. You know,

479
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 2: that just doesn't make any sense to me. Of course

480
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 2: it made sense to them. I guess they figured that

481
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: these golf nations would say, oh, well, we're gonna we're

482
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 2: gonna side with Iran now because they're going to attack us.

483
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 2: And if that doesn't give them pause in terms of

484
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 2: what would happen if Iran ever got a nuke, that

485
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 2: then they would hold the entire area hostage and control

486
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 2: all the oil. Because of threats and what they've tried

487
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: to do in the strait of her moves, these golf

488
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 2: nations have said, you know what, these guys are nuts.

489
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 1: We don't want to be any part.

490
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: Of this, and so they have been really ramping things

491
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 2: up and said, you know what, there that regime change

492
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 2: needs to happen, and needs to happen soon.

493
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: So it's very interesting.

494
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: I was reading Phil Flynn's Energy report and all this

495
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 2: bouncing around that was doing over the weekend in terms

496
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: of the oil and what the markets were doing. Now

497
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 2: he did point and President Trump has backed off and said,

498
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 2: with the negotiations ongoing, that we are going to pause,

499
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 2: and we've told the military to pause for five days

500
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 2: to see if these talks proceed and if we can

501
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 2: come to a conclusion and come to a surrender basically,

502
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: And I sure as hell hope we don't settle for

503
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 2: a ceasefire. I hope it's a complete and total surrender

504
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: with regime change completely, because leaving these nut jobs in

505
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 2: charge is not sustainable and it would be ridiculous. Again,

506
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 2: you're dealing with people who would just as soon destroy

507
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 2: the entire earth if they could go out as martyrs

508
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 2: as opposed to being reasonable members of society, which the

509
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 2: rest apparently of the Arab nations around them have finally

510
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 2: come to the conclusion of that. It's you know, it

511
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 2: doesn't make any we would much rather have you know,

512
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 2: our people safe, the wealth of the nation building and

513
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 2: peace in the area rather than this constant consternation and

514
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 2: war and so on. So the only ones that seem

515
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 2: to be abiding are that want to keep this going

516
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: is Iran, and quicker they are eradicated, the better. So

517
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 2: again talking about what's going on over there, the hold

518
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 2: off for five days. But again, you know the Democrats,

519
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 2: you know, you've heard this phrase where they call Trump

520
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 2: taco presidents. Trump always chickens out. Well, I don't know

521
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 2: how many times you need to have that disproven. He

522
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 2: backs off from a tariff that's going into place because

523
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 2: there's negotiations going on, and then it goes in our favor.

524
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 2: So backing off from the tariff that you're going to

525
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 2: do isn't chickening out. It's a bargaining tool. You talking

526
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 2: about going hard on Russia in terms of sanctions and

527
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 2: so on, backing off on that when there appears to

528
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 2: be negotiations going on going on and putting a deadline

529
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 2: on a ran to come to the table and negotiate,

530
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 2: and then backing off from that and because of negotiations

531
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: going forward, and then you come up with epic fury.

532
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 2: There's no chickening out there. And I know every time

533
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 2: they've bet against him, they've been wrong. So I don't

534
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 2: know why they keep betting against him. But holding off

535
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 2: for five days is not a big deal, and especially

536
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: if there's a movement in order to settle this and

537
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 2: settle this to the benefit of the world. And I'll

538
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,479
Speaker 2: tell you what when this does get resolved and we

539
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 2: take a look at what you know again as we

540
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 2: talk about you know who your friends are and so on.

541
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 2: I remember back, you remember back during the Civil rights

542
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 2: era when Martin Luther King Junior made the comment, it's

543
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: not so much our enemies I'm concerned about, but the

544
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 2: silence of our friends something along those lines. And when

545
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: you see people not coming to your aid or coming

546
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 2: to your defense, at least you know who your enemies are.

547
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 2: And you're so called allies who say they're there aren't there.

548
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 2: And what we're seeing with NATO, what we're seeing I

549
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: mean the UN, for you know, the UN might as

550
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 2: well not even exist because they're not even being talked to,

551
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 2: heard from, or anything, but NATO. They have been attacked,

552
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 2: Turkey has been attacked, Cyprus has been attacked, Their economic

553
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 2: survivability or their economic their economy has been affected and

554
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 2: attacked as a result of tying up the straight of

555
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 2: horror moves that should have been considered by them an

556
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 2: attack on one, an attack on all. They already fired

557
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 2: missiles at Turkey, they fired missiles at Cyprus, and so

558
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 2: if that's the case and NATO allies, that means that

559
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 2: NATO isn't coming to their defense because they're not sending ships.

560
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 2: So anyway, it's just a mess over there. Gas prices

561
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 2: are kind of holding steady a little bit, but they

562
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 2: are creeping up. Instead of the thirty cents or so,

563
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 2: with creeping up about ten to fifteen cents, folks, That

564
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 2: does it for us. Stay tuned for Red Eye Radio
