  Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Welcome to a Wednesday on NewsRadio 570 WKBN. Wednesday afternoon,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: that is, July 29th. We're at 76 degrees. Your fearless
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: leader is here as always, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: WKBN from the kingdom of Mahoning. And what a lovely
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: day we got going today with 76 degrees. Nice to
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: be with you. So many things happening. that are going
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: on today. So many things to discuss nationally, locally. Oh,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: there's a lot to get covered here. Let's see what
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: awaits me. You're on the.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Air.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: Hey, Ron.
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: How's that market doing for you today?
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: Way down again.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Gee, why is it down big time?
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: Why is it down?
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Well, the war is costing $ 2 billion a day, and
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: AI stocks are leading the market down as well as
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: other chip stocks because the market isn't sure, they're very uncertain,
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: that the AI stocks are will bring in a lot
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: of revenue and make a lot of profit for all
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: the capital that is flowing into these companies.
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: Watch this. I'm going to impress folks. Are you ready?
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I'm going to impress Fort Lauderdale. Frank, he's going to say,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that. Ron, you're spot on. There's also
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: another reason for that. It's because there's concern over Chinese
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: chip makers being able to make some of these chips
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: much less expensive than we're making them here.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: So that's an aspect of it, too. Come on, give
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: me an aye-aye, Captain, on that, Frankie.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Aye-aye, you're very good. Yes, that was in the news yesterday.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: So you're not going to pull a wool over my eyes,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: even though you're sitting down there in Fort Lauderdale with
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: all them young chicks. I mean, the bottom line is,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: like you say, the war's on again, off again. Oils,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: who knows where that can be? We talk about it
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: so much, you know, running out of the reserves. The
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: war's on, it's off. Tariffs are on and off.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: AI is..
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Who knows what's going on there. But when you're looking
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: at 800, down 800 at 1.600, I think is where
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: it stands now. You sit back and you say to yourself, oh, my,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? It's not easy if you're
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: close to retirement or you're in retirement. I mean, those
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: are troubling numbers.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Oh, correct. But the reason I called today, you had
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: a woman call Monday, and wanted to know my opinion
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: on socialism because the Democrats are electing so many socialist
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: politicians now.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: And I want to tell her socialism is a political
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: and economic ideology that was made popular by Karl Marx
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: and Frederick Engels in their book, The Communist Manifesto. And
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: they claimed that capitalism would collapse, From within, the industrial
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: factory workers would take over the factories and institute a
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: dictatorship of the proletariat. That's what the Europeans call factory workers. Now, Ron,
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: I want to tell this lady, socialism has failed in
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: every country it's been tried. And today, socialists believe in
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: taxing the rich, in redistributing wealth from wealthy Americans to
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: the working class and the poor. And I will use
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: socialist mayor of New York City, Zoran Mamdani, as an example.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: As wealthy people and working class people flee the city,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Mamdani threatens that those who remain will get burned by
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: what he calls his warmth of collectivism. Because wealthy people
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: are not paying their fair share in taxes. Can you
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: believe that?
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: For as long as I've been around, Frank, I've heard
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the Democrats say wealthy people aren't paying their fair share,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: but they never define what is the fair share. They
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: never do that. I mean, it's insanity because if you
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: really look at the tax breakdown, the wealthy pay the
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: majority of taxes in this country.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: We have 50% of the people that don't.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Anyone with a job making more than minimal wage is
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: not paying their fair share.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: But, I mean, it's 50% of the people in the
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: country really aren't paying any taxes, and so many of
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: them are getting more return than they've ever paid in.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's unreal, but we shall see as time
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: goes on.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: But, by the way, you know, not paying their fair share,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Let me see what the number is.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Well, as you do that, I'll just tell people a
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Dow is down 731. The S & P is down 13.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: NASDAQ's down. Nothing's good.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, nothing's good. And also precious metals are down,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: commodities too. But the top 10% wealthiest Americans, Ron, are
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: already paying more than the bottom 10% combined. I mean
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: the bottom 90% combined.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Now say that again so everyone can take that in.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: The top 10% wealthiest Americans are paying more than the
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: bottom 90% combined.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: And the U.S.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Tax system is the most progressive in the developed world.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: And Ron, socialism thrives on class warfare and class envy.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: And Mom Dommy went on X and said, anyone with
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: a second home worth more than $ 5 million that you
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: got mail, presumably an increased tax notice, how dare you
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: have a second home?
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: It's just going to be terrible. An absolute disaster. I
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: would imagine this headline as I'm reading, Trump says U.S.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: will give Iran a beating after surprise attacks. So this
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: is just going to continue to go on. And we
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: are at a crucial time, Fort Lauderdale, Frank, with our
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: oil reserves and where oil prices can go and with
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: this thing continuing to go on. And I don't see
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: a good way out of this mess.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: I really, really don't. Do you?
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: No, G2 said, boy, I wish we should have that
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: $ 224 billion worth of oil that Biden used on COVID. Well,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: you know what? In five months of war, we've depleted
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: our strategic oil reserve. You know what would happen if
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: we had that $ 224 billion back? The war could last.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: another two years before Americans started feeling the full impact.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, some of it Biden had to use
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: because of the Ukrainian situation. I mean, there's no way mathematically,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: and you're a math whiz, that you can take roughly, what,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: 30 million barrels out of the equation and let's make
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: some adjustments for pipelines and stuff. Let's just say you're
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: 20 million or 19 million barrels down per day, Frank.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, so let's see, supply and demand, if you
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: got 19 less million barrels a day, that means prices
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: have a tendency to go up. And when you stop
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: tapping into your reserves, you're going to see that number,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the 19 million barrels go up even higher because you're
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: not going to be able to use your supplies. Not
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: optimistic there, Fort Lauderdale, Frank. You might have to give
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: up three of your harem supplies.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: And, you know, the rest of the world doesn't have
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: a strategic petroleum reserve to support the military and for war.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: They have it for economic emergencies.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there is nothing good going on economically. When you
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: look at the market today, when you look at the
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: oil reserves, when you look at the markets, when you
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: look at, well, we bombed them and that's not working.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: Now we're going to bomb them some more. I mean,
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: this guy has.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I'll say it again, he has gotten into a mess
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: and there isn't a good way out.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Declare victory and bring.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: The troops home. And that might be the best option.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, that really might be the best option because
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: none of the problems that are created were there before
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: he did this.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: The strait was open.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: We didn't have all of the issues that we have
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: going on that are affecting the oil situation. He created
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: this problem. He created that situation. And if he pulls
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: out and declares victory, will that cure itself? I don't know.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: He's made a mess, and economically, who knows.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: Where we're heading. All right, Mr. Fort Lauderdale Frank. It's
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: always my honor, sir, to speak with you.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: Okay. Have a good day, Ron.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: There he is, Fort Lauderdale Frank. Ron Ferb, you're on
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: the air.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: Hello.
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Ron, I just want to mention, I don't know
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: if people know it or not, but there's 2,026 tax
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: values for your properties on the website now. And before
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: voting in levies, maybe they should go online and check
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: what the new tax values look like.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Does it show what your taxes are going to be?
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: No, but it shows you your value. Milton showed a 37%
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: tax gain or value gain. Well, congratulations, Milton. Yeah, Austintown
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: was like.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: 17, 18%.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: You can figure Austintown 20%, Milton 40%.
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: Boardman's probably the same thing as Austin Town, 20%. Those
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: are the ones I was checking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: Now, can you tell me out here, that sounds like
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: double digits.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, I.
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: Got a place in Florida where I'm not. You got
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: a daughter in Florida. You know how Florida works. It's 3%
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: for a resident annually. Newton just took almost a 40% gain.
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: In three years, Milton has taken leads to downs. I mean,
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: Milton was in a cheap place before this game.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: The only good news that I can pass along to
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: you is because of State Rep. Dave Thomas, you won't
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: get a huge increase like you did with the past appraisal.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: It's going to be capped at the rate of inflation,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: but it's still going to be an increase.
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: Oh, that's good.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: It's still going to be an increase.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: He did a great thing that will benefit Democrats and Republicans.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: It will benefit everybody because he capped it at. the
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: rate of inflation. That's because of Dave Thomas, and it's
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: because of the Republicans that they were able to do that.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: But it's still an additional increase, an unvoted increase that
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: you're going to get on your property taxes. We just
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: keep hammering people and hammering and hammering them. I mean,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: this is craziness that's going on. We're going to price
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: everybody out of their home as this continues to go on.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Something needs to be done. DeSantis is such a great governor. God,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I hate to see a guy like that term limited out.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: He's an incredible governor. I would vote for him for
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: president in a heartbeat.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: I think he's a very intelligent man.
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: One more question. Did they say that if you could
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: call somebody when your representative is about foregoing this tax increase,
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: was it a commissioner or who was it?
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: Who do you call?
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Your entities can decline the increase. Your school system, your township.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: They can– all of the people who say, boy, we
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: understand the trouble and the pain that's happening, and they
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: can decline it.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: But I saw yesterday– So.
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: It's your township administrators? Don't interrupt you.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: Well, we shall see. We shall see.
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: But I'm saying, is it your township administrators you call?
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: Is that who you call? Yeah.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: You know, it's not going to hurt.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: They should certainly be informed that they do not have
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: to accept– they do not have to take the increase.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: But you know governments.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: You know what government will do.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah. What is DeSantis doing in Florida?
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: He's saying the only thing that we can do to
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: help our citizens out is with taxes. And we can
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: lower taxes so that they can keep more of their money.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: His attitude is so refreshing. It is just so refreshing.
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: I'd like to see more of it. I know that.
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: But anyhow, I just wanted you to know that you
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: can let your listeners know to go on the website,
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: look at the new values, and they can see where
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: things are heading anyhow. Okay.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Well, thanks for that, Shuri News.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: Thanks, buddy. Appreciate it. You're on the air.
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: Ronald.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: It's Ted the Conservative.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: We haven't talked in quite a while, but after this morning,
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: even though I'm traveling and I'm up in New Jersey,
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: I felt like I had to call you.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: Ah, yeah, the Fauci hearing, you mean.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: Holy cow. I've got a lot I've wanted to share
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: with you regarding Fauci and Iran and Trump's inflation. I
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: don't really care about our feelings.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: Let's start with Fauci.
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: Where would you like to start?
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: Absolutely Fauci.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: When I was seeing it this morning, I'm telling you,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: he takes the fifth. First of all, he's got a
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: ton of lawyers. He takes the fifth.
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: And..
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: I understand he's trying to come up with a special
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: virus just to put the kibbutz on Rand Paul.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: You might be right. It is amazing the things that
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: have come out. That little SOB should be hung from
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: the highest pole in town.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: Explain to our listeners. We'll sit back.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: If you have a government official, let alone the chief
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: medical officer of your country, lie to you once, then
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: nothing is credible. Over the weekend, that diary gift came out.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: I didn't pay any attention because I didn't think there
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: was any relevance to it. I thought it was just
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: some scheme or joke going along. And as the days
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: went on, I started noticing it more and more in
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: reading articles and started looking at it. And the guy
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: is a proven liar. His own words tell you that.
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: His personal diary tells you that. And I can't believe
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: Democrats are still defending him after his diary was released.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: You know, forget science. You know, let me put it
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: to you real simple. Forget science. Like I said, remember,
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: if a guy lies to you, if your chief medical
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: officer in the United States of America lies to you once,
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: then you can't take anything he says at face value.
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: And you have to question it all, whether it's first
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: him saying masks don't help. Then he said, Matt, do
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: you help?
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Stand by, Ted. This is important, what he's talking about.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Ted the Conservative on Fauci today. NewsRadio 570.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: I heart radio. It's Bill Wills with Michael... WKBN.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: You know this, Ted the Conservative. You know that nothing
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: is going to happen, folks. I make this prediction of Fauci.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: This is why Biden gave him a blanket pardon, and
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I think that they knew what he was up to.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: They knew what he did.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: They gave him this blanket pardon, so you're not going
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: to be able to hold him accountable for any of
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: this stuff.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: But it is important for the public to know.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: So talk to our listeners about the Fauci situation today
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: and just your thoughts.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: Well, first of all, you don't give pardons to innocent people,
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: number one. And number two, innocent people don't claim the
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: Fifth Amendment over 100 times. He wouldn't answer what color
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: his tie was, what color the rug was, what day
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: of the week it was. Okay? This guy is scared.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: I talked to you about how he lied about masks.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: Under oath, well, and also, he does face some legal
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: challenges here because there is, legal precedents that once you're
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: given immunity, whether it be through a pardon or congressional immunity,
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: you still must testify. That doesn't give you the right
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: to ignore a subpoena from the United States Congress. So
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: he will be held in contempt of Congress, and we'll
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: see where it goes. I'm guessing that the Trump Department
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: of Justice will begin to prosecute him. And this may
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: take some time, but the little weasel is going to
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: have to speak. So I told you how he lied
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: about math. He lied about school closings. Under oath, he testified,
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: he had no role in the closure of schools. However,
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: in the Little Weasel's personal diary, where he talks about
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: himself being one of the most famous people in the world,
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: I can go on and on about that stuff, he
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: talks gleefully how he was able to convince leaders of
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: major blue states to start closing schools. That's another lie.
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: So there's two of them. Now, get to the science.
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: There's so many lies there, I can't even begin to
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: tell you. Back in January, before the epidemic blew up
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: in the country, he wrote in a personal email to
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: one of his friends that there was no way this
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: virus came from the open market. Because it was, I
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: can't remember all the terminology, but it was so intertwined
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: with stuff. with different viruses. I mean, it was a
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: gain-of-function virus. They take one virus, for your listeners that
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: don't know what a gain-of-function means is, so they get
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: one bat with a virus. Then they add another virus
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: to that bat, and they add another virus to that bat,
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: and they add another virus, and they keep adding these
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: viruses to see what will happen and how hard it
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: will come to kill this bat and to kill these viruses.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: And Fauci himself, again, in his private journals, said that
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: the cost of life, irregardless of how much life, the
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: cost of life was necessary for science to understand how
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: these viruses work. So what does that tell you about
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: the guy? I mean, unbelievable. He did one lie after another.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: Not one thing the guy said in public that he
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: didn't contradict personal, in personal conversations, personal communications. whether it
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: was his Gmail, his work email, his cell phone text messages.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: He went so far, Ron, as to have basically a
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: courier service because he knew he was violating the law.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: He destroyed records. I mean, the guy is neat hung.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: There's no other way to say it. What he did
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: to our country, I don't know what the deaths are
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: in this country. I'm not sure what the COVID number
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: of deaths were, but I would attribute at least half
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: of them to him.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: Well, I would say this to you.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: How many people died by themselves without their family by
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: their sides in nursing homes and in hospitals? What effect
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: did it have in closing schools down when it comes
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: to education? Obviously, he was saying something publicly that he
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: was writing in his diary, which is just kind of
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: bizarre that he's got a diary, where he was basically
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: knowingly lying to the American public at a particular time.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: So Why would he go after doctors that say, hey,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: ivermectin's working or hydrochloroquine's working and strip their license from them?
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: You know why?
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: I can give you a real easy, quick answer because
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: they talked about this.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: Self-enrichment.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: Self-enrichment. The guy is a lifetime government employee now worth
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: in excess of $ 12 million. He was in bed with
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: the pharmaceutical company. He was using his position and his
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: employees to seek income for himself outside of his regular paycheck.
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: Stand by.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Back with Ted the Conservative. And more of your calls.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: We're here tonight till 6.

  Speaker 7: U.S.
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: Senator John Husted of Ohio says he supports data centers
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: in the Buckeye State, but they must provide their own
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: basic needs.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: Build your own power, and most of them have signed
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: up to do that. I have legislation to require that.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: That's the way that we get at those issues.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: But, you know, also got to make sure that they
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: put on these complete.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Recycling tools for all their water so they don't use water.
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: Husted appeared on WTAM 1100's Wilson Snyder this morning. Springfield
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: Mayor Rob Rue said the city will continue to provide
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: essential services and maintain safety for everybody, regardless of citizenship status.
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: His comments come after thousands of Haitian nationals who've been
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: living in the community lost their legal U.S.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: Residency this week. And some 400.
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: Employees of the Cleveland Public Library have set an August
• 21:42

• 22:05
  Speaker 1: and Ron Verb. With you till 6 o'clock tonight.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: What's important here is that this information get out to
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: people to understand how evil Fauci is and what the
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: government and what he was doing and how the Biden
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: administration protected him with with what they did. I doubt
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: that anything's going to happen to the old coot and
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: he's going to get away with it. And but what
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: he was saying in public and what was reality, he
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: erased any credibility that that the government could have. He's
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: surrounded by lawyers. He's taken a fifth. And basically, Dr.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: McCullough and Rand Paul, certainly Ron DeSantis, not a doctor,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: but a lawyer, all of these people were right. All
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: of these people and the harm that that man did
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: to our economy, to the education system and our young people,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: to the economy, to people who died alone, and what
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: he did to doctors who said, whoa, this is working
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: for our patients. It is nothing but sheer evil. And
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: I do mean evil. Go ahead with your report, please.
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: Also, he destroyed the trust of the American people in
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: science and our government. And, you know, when you lose
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: someone's trust, it takes you a very long time to
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: get that back. And when you're talking about the federal government,
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: they may never get that trust back. You know, it's
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: funny how the left attacks Kennedy and Trump and all
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: these other people, the Maha movement. Well, they're not the
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: ones that broke the trust of the government. They were
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: actually trying to challenge the government and challenge Fauci because
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: of what he was saying was wrong. And they became
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: the targets of the media instead of holding Fauci accountable.
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: So the credibility is gone, and I'm not sure that
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: the government ever gets that back. especially with Democrats in Congress,
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: to be honest with you. I told you before, I
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: said this weeks ago, I think, again, the biggest threat
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: to America isn't China or Russia, it's Democrats. You know,
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: and to take a quick pivot, you've got Democrats in
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: Minnesota handing out transgender dolls to children where they can
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: take off the male genitalia and turn the doll into
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: a woman. I mean, these are six people. You know,
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: and it's amazing... Everyone's worried about the midterms, and I've
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: been telling you now for at least two months that
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: we will not lose the Senate, and I don't think
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: we're going to lose the House. And it's not because
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: of Trump, as Frank and others say that the DSA
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: is growing. It's because they're showing their true colors as
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: to who they are if people continue to leave that
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: Democrat party. Because, you know, you sit around long enough,
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: the truth comes out. These are sick-minded people. And I'm
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: not saying that the right is correct in everything that
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: they do, but they're based in common sense. They're based
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: in family values. They're based in morals. And these people
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: are just sick, sick people. So I think this is
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: just the beginning of unraveling of a lot of stuff
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: that I wish that maybe Congress under Trump would have
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: started doing a lot sooner than.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: A year and a half into his.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: Term, just like the Save America Act. They've sat on
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: their hands and done nothing. We've got just two feckless,
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: feeble leaders in the House and in the Senate. And
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: why Trump supported those guys in the beginning, I'll never understand.
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: But now he's starting to turn on soon, but I
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: think it might be too late.
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: And I don't know unless he replaces soon, even in
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: the next Congress, they're not going to get any different results. Now,
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: with a couple of those guys, Kentucky being voted out,
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: There's another one where North Carolina or somewhere, I can't remember,
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: two Republicans that are now cornered in Texas. These guys
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: are putting up balls, anything Trump wants to do. Once
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: they're replaced, it's possible things can get through. But there's
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: so many other things that I've had on my mind
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: to discuss with you, but I'm not sure what your
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: time is.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: Well, what are they?
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: I've got thoughts on Iran. I've got thoughts on Trump.
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: I've got thoughts on Ukraine.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: Well, let me hear them.
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: Iran.
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: Iran. Now, because I'm critical of Trump doesn't mean I
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: don't support him.
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: Correct.
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: I know the MAGA is what their one-track minds find
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: that hard to understand, the MAGA cult. Correct. Because you
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: know that the MAGA cults come after me before. They'll
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: probably come after me again, but that's okay. I kind
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: of enjoy it. You know, Trump, I believe, as I've
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: told you, I remember the first time I said this.
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: He's a very narcissistic man. He's a narcissist. He has
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: to be the focal point of attention anywhere he goes.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: And I also am starting to believe not only that,
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: but I think he's a bully. I think he picks
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: on people. He's like the guy we went to high
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: school with or middle school with. You know, there was
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: always that one guy bullied, everyone picked on, everyone called
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: him names. But every once in a while, there's a
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: wildcat that punches back. And when they punch back, that
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: bully puts his tail between his legs and runs off.
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: And I think we're seeing that with Trump a little bit.
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: I think we're seeing that with Russia. Now, I know
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: some will disagree with me. I think we're seeing that
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: with China. Many will disagree with me. He loves to
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: tell you how great things are when really they're not. Now,
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: you and I both know this. The world knows this.
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: Russia has been giving Iran... locations of military bases to attack.
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: And Trump still refuses to believe his own officials. He
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: had made this statement weeks ago. And Trump's response is, well,
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: I've asked Vladimir and he said no. I've asked China,
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: they said no. Well, what do you think, they're going
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: to say yes? But I think he's intimidated by those
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: leaders because unlike him, they... They live in a different world.
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: They're not really, they don't worry themselves with the petty things.
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: He's a petty man, Trump, you know. These guys, they
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: have a goal, world dominance. Trump has a goal of
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: being the most popular guy in the room, being the
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: guy most liked in the room, you know. And it's
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: concerning to me that he doesn't have the gonads to
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: stand up to these guys. So that's a big concern.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: I think he's a bully. I think he's a coward.
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: I think that he's not the great man he might
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: want you to think he is. Now, does it mean
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: that he's not a smart guy? Does it mean that
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: he's not intelligent? He's a business guy. He's successful. Does
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: it mean he doesn't know what he's doing? So your
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: personal characteristics... don't necessarily mean that you're dumb and you're
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: stupid and you can't operate a successful business. You know,
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: you have to keep those things separate. Having said that,
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: I think he's doing the right thing in Iran. Now,
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: while you may not like it, I may not like it,
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: there's a little reason to believe he might know a
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: little better than you and I. Now, people that think
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: he did this because Israel forces hand, I think that's laughable.
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: Especially with a narcissistic person like Trump. He's not going
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: to let anyone tell him what to do. Okay? I
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: think he had credible intelligence to make him do what
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: he did. And now you're seeing Saudi Arabia, I believe
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: it was, get involved. We've got Ukraine now getting involved,
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: bombing these Iranian shipments coming out of Russia. You know,
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: this is something of significance that, again, I likened it
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: back to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Nobody thought it
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: would happen, even though they knew the intelligence told us
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: it would happen.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: But here's the difference. I mean, we started this conflict.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: So I have a difficult.
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: We're dealing with a country who seeks to eliminate us
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: from the map.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: If you buy into that scenario.
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: You don't believe when people say things?
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Listen, no, I don't always believe when people say things
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: that they'll be able to follow through on them.
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: No, I do not. Here's 9-11.
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: What happened?
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: You know what?
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: 9-11 was people who came over here that our government
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: knew were here and really dropped the ball.
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: And stopping them.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: But they knew were there. I say this again, and
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: I don't want to dwell on it. I was not
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: staying up at night worried about some nuclear threat from Iran.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think they would have done anything to the
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: United States. They would know what the repercussions were. What
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: I am deeply concerned about is the situation going on
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: right now in Iran. Because there isn't an easy way
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: out of this. You're not going to put boots on
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: the ground. The American public is not in support of this.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: This just sounds or looks to me like another Vietnam.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: It looks to me like another situation in the Middle
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: East that we failed at in the past. He talked
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: about not getting involved in the Middle East and regime changes.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: And we failed at those in the Middle East. It's
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: a Vietnam-like scenario. This was a mistake. I don't agree
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: with you. And I'll just say it publicly. I don't
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: know why he went along with Egypt and Netanyahu. I
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: don't know if they have something on him. He reversed himself.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: He reversed himself on Epstein. He reversed himself on this.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. I'm not saying whether they have
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: something on him or why he did it. But it
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: was a dumb move. And we are now stuck with
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: this move. And this move is we've bombed him. We've
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: bombed him some more. We're going to bomb him again.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: And it doesn't seem like it's remedying anything at all.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: It doesn't seem like it's solving it. But the reality is,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: contrary to what anyone tells you, we're running out of oil.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're depleting our reserves. We've taken 20 million
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: barrels offline. Supply and demand is a realistic issue. And
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: prices can skyrocket overnight. And there is no easy way
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: out of this situation for him. He's created a mess
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: in the energy sector and cheap energy in this country
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: that very well could take years to get out of.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: He potentially can put this country in a severe recession.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: and or depression based on where energy prices go. None
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: of this is worth any of that here in the
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: United States of America and what could happen. He has
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: created a mess, period. And this did not work out
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: how he thought it would, how quickly he thought it would.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: He's miscalculated everything to this point in time. Everything.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: And we shall see as time goes on where this heads.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: We have a serious problem with jet fuel, with diesel fuel,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: with gasoline, and with oil reserves. That is the reality.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: It is a serious issue. He knows it, and I
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: don't know how he's going to get out of this mess.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: But you know what? You want to hit me with
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: that some more? You want to tell me, How it's
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: got to be patriotic that I'm supposed to pay five
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: or six bucks a gallon or potentially more because of
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: this asinine thing that he started and got into without
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: any consent of the American public. Listen, do I think
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: when this situation goes on, should Congress have a say?
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: So you're damn right they should.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: This thing cannot just escalate based on one man saying
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: that we're going to continue to do all of this
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: and continue to go down this course. There is no
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: discussion going on. There is no debate going on. And
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: there's no justification. And the public certainly overwhelmingly is opposed
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: to it. And putting boots on the ground would be
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: a disaster. Based on where it's at, the geography of
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: the area, it would be a disaster. An absolute disaster.
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: So... I agree with you on that, and I agree
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: with you on some of the economic things, but history
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: will be the judge.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: Well, fine.
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: You said you weren't staying up at night worrying about this.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you what, I'm not going to go over
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: this a thousand times. It's repetitious to our listeners. Then
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: let history be the judge. Because economically, this country is
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: not in a good economic position. And when you're talking
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: major recessions, depressions, because of these moves, they are an
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: economic reality. I don't go along with you. You're seeing
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: inflation come back. You're seeing the Fed talk about raising
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: interest rates. There is nothing economically good going on right
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: now in this country.
• 35:11
  Speaker 7: Nothing.
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: I don't know that I would agree with that.
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: Well, take a look at the market. Take a look
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: at energy prices.
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: Well, markets up one day, markets up down the next day.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's been like a roller coaster week after week.
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know what? That is not normal.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: It is not normal, and that has a big effect
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: on people that are close to retirement, in retirement. I mean,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: don't think that that doesn't have a lot of effect.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you that these policies are making
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: your paycheck worth less, your savings worth less. We are
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: all becoming poorer. And we're sitting on the verge of
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: where energy prices could skyrocket. I mean, they've been tapping
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: the damn strategic oil reserves to these new lows, period.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: That's just the reality of where we are.
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: Now, what do you want to do? What do you
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: want to do when you're done doing that? Now, where
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: do you go? Good luck.
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: I would say, you know, and again, fact for fact,
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: I don't think Trump has dramatically affected the reserves. The
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: reserve balance is where it is. You know why it's there.
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: It was there because of what Biden did to try
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: to control energy prices. He didn't use that oil reserve.
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: For the right reasons.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, Biden would argue that he did it because
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: of the Ukraine-Russia situation. Okay, but, you know, you've got
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: to reach a point when a guy's into a presidency.
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: If that is the case, then why wouldn't the world
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: be out of oil, Biden?
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: But here's a reality.
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: He's been president now for a couple of years.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: At some point, blaming Biden isn't going to carry it
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: with people. Because whether you like it or not, whether
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: you like it or not, he's tapped the reserves for
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: 172 million barrels.
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: So just like when you and G2 had a disagreement
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: the other night, G2 was giving you facts. Doesn't mean
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: we don't.
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: Doesn't mean I agree with that at all.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: You know, to me, G2 is falling into the same
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: trap that the Democrats did. He's falling into the trap
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: of trying to say it's not that bad.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: Well, it is bad.
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: I'm not going to sit.
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: Here and say that the economy is not bad.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: The Democrats made that same argument with Biden and the inflation.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: They didn't understand why people didn't get what they were saying. Now,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: if he wants to use that same argument by telling people, well,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: inflation is only this much and it's only this much
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: or let's blame Biden for this. It's all bullcrap because
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: people are living it right now.
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: It's the economy.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: You're using the same strategy that the Democrats used. It
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: didn't work for them, and it's not going to work
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: for Trump. It's just not going to work.
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: It is a mess.
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: I'm not sure what G2, the point G2 is trying
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: to make, but you're right. It is the economy, stupid.
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: It will always be the economy. And to say, not
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: only like you said the other day, there's people of
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: good financial means that are feeling this pinch. So imagine
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: how the people that aren't the financial means are feeling.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're talking about fertilizer. We're talking about crop yields.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: We're talking about people starving.
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: Do you get that?
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Whether that's in Africa or crop yields in the United
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: States of America. We're talking about fertilizer being so damn
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: expensive farmers can't afford to buy it.
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: I mean, these are problems that..
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: Made the irresponsible statement that the day he was elected,
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: he would bring down prices.
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: And he isn't.
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: And you know and I know you can't do that.
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: You can't undo inflation. If you want to start talking
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: about deflation..
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't know.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: I think he was undoing it. I countered that by saying,
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: imagine where we would have been if he never would
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: have got involved in this war in the first place,
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: because energy prices were coming down.
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: I told you a long time ago that he had
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: turned things around as far as energy prices. and that
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: things were becoming more affordable. But you can't undo the
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: grocery prices. You can't undo the inflation.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: You can bring it down when you lower energy costs.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: I've got to pause.
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Ted. Back with more in a minute. You're
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: on 570 WKBN. Ron Verp from the Kingdom of Mahoning,
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: and you're on the air.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: Those Iranians have always been nice. I mean, I like
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: them myself. And again, I look at the... news, and
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: I'm like, why is this news so biased? Why are
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: they portraying an Islamist as driving into the pride parade?
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: That's not right.
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: They're just like us.
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: The same thing as us.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: We all pray to the same God. You know, if
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: you're stabbing people outside the synagogue in New York, and
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: it's a guy yelling, and who happens to be an Islamist,
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: and he's stabbing a Jewish guy, I think we make
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: too much of it. We should take some numbers and say,
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: how many Muslims have been killed by Jews, say, in
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: the last six months, a year? And how many Jews
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: have been killed by Muslims, Islamists? Do you have any
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: idea what that number would be, Ron? Just a percentage,
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: not the exact number. What would you think? Is there
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: more Islamists killing Jews?
• 40:47
  Speaker 7: Absolutely.
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: Well, absolutely.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: It depends what side you want to hear. You're going
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: to hear many people talk about some of the slaughter
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: that goes on with the Palestinian people in Gaza and Lebanon.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: You're going to hear some of the people argue that
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: it's almost like genocide. And you're going to hear people
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: arguing in the United States about what happens here.
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: So, I mean, you've got to..
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: It happens in Germany and Africa where they're killing Christians. But,
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: you know, if you don't, that's not an issue for
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: the person perusing the news.
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: I was just asking what you thought that number might be,
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: if it might be more Jews killing Islamists or Islamists
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: killing Jews.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: In the United States, it's clear. But what is your point?
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Because I'm running short on time here. I've got about
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: a minute.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: And a half. Because we kind of skirt around things,
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: and some people like to say, well, you know, that's
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: the Jewish way, kill as many people as you can. Well,
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: why wouldn't they just nuke the Palestinians? Why didn't they
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: just drop a mother of all bombs on them?
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Well, there's some people that are actually discussing that kind
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: of stuff, thinking that that should be an alternative. And
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: that to me is a deeply troubling and disturbing alternative
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: when you, when or if you would ever go.
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: Down that road.
• 42:17
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: I got to pause.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: We pause for the news at four back with more
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: news radio, five 70 WKBN and Ron verb.
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: Stay tuned. If you're in a market for,
