  Speaker 1: Heidi Ho, 306 here in the afternoon, NewsRadio 570, WDQN,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and Ron Verp with you on a Friday, May 22nd.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: We are at 64 degrees, overcast, cloudy, and rain showers
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: in the forecast. It's almost like it's a surprise when
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: they're not in a forecast. And boy, they're talking about
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: some significant rain coming between Friday and Saturday in my
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: neck of the woods here. And it's just been, we've
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: had so much rain, we're so saturated now, our ground
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: is I mean, it's just been so overwhelming with rain.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Ground's really saturated, and we're expecting a pretty significant amount
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: of rain again Friday and Saturday here in my neck
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: of the woods. Enough bellyaching, I know what you're saying,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and to welcome one and all. Let me see. I
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: mentioned yesterday, and Ted the Conservative was chiming in, there is,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to get into this today, and I'm
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: going to take some time in the beginning of this broadcast.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: And I take some calls on this. I should find
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: some of these emails that they highlighted for me where,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: let's see if I can find any of them. Let
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: me see. And I'll pass some of them along to
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: you as I go through some of these. But it
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: has to do with It's clear to me that there
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: are many people that are Trump supporters that I don't
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: want to say check their brain at the door. But
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: when you hear about their part of this cult, the
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: mega cult, there's I think there's truth to that. It
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: was interesting yesterday and I enjoyed my discussion with Ted,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the conservative, because I do remember him saying that, you know,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say a couple of years ago, maybe
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Ted would have to clarify that. He can call in
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and clarify when he brought that up. But there is
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: this there is this cult and I scratch my head
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: about it. In other words, these are the folks who
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: basically think that under no circumstances should you disagree with
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Trump on anything. It's almost like he's got these people hypnotized.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Whatever he says, whatever he thinks, whatever he does is okay, acceptable.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: There's no criticism. It's okay. And it is very cult-like.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I'll have to have Ted explain that on when he
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: first said that and what brought him to that conclusion
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: when he gets on the program today. But it is
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: very much true. Now, with that being said... I want
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to go into a couple of things with you. I mean,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: so those people I will never be able to please.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I don't much care for people who have that mentality
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: when it comes to the Democrat Party or a Democrat
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: leader any more than I do for the Republican Party
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: or a Republican leader. So I don't much care for it.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: So when I look at the things that are going
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: on over the years, and I say this, I think
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to a certain extent, we're almost turning on our own
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to a large extent. And I'm one of those guys,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: as I've said to you in the last couple of days,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I think it's okay to disagree with Trump. I think
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: it's okay to criticize Trump. Now, he might not like it.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: And I don't much care for that quality either. So,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: that's why when I sit here and say, and I'll
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: cover a number of things with you, I voted for
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: him once, twice, three times. I voted for him in
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the primaries as well, but also in the general elections. So,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I voted for him. I certainly wouldn't vote for Harris
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: or Biden, so don't misunderstand any of that. Nor do
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I think any of the people that are critical of Trump,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're saying they would be voting for
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a Democrat either. But they are willing to say there's
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: some things that are going on that they're not crazy
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: about and that they speak about or criticize him about.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: When I said to you the other day, I don't
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: really find it admirable that the people who helped you
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: get elected, you're turning on them just because they don't
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: agree with you on some issues. Now, just think for
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: a second. I mean, Tucker Carlson helped him get elected.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: He was on stage with them. I mean, he was
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: right there with Trump on the plane, on stage, doing
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: all this stuff, helping him get elected. Then because Tucker
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Carlson disagrees with Trump on this war in Iran, disagrees
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: with Trump that he hasn't done enough on the Epstein files,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Trump can't stand Tucker Carlson and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: calls him low IQ Tucker. Well, if he's so low IQ,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: was he low IQ when he was supporting you when
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you had him on stage and he was helping you
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: get elected? Just as you said those vicious things about
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Greene who was one of your earliest supporters,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and was helping you get elected? So when you take
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a look at... I don't find that quality admirable at all.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: That the people that were actively involved in his political
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: rise and getting elected, that he thought the world of
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden because they disagreed with him on...
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: some issues, and you can disagree. You can say, this
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: war isn't right, or you didn't do enough with Epstein,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: or whatever the issue might be. You can disagree. It
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean you still don't support him over the Democrats.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: It just means you disagree on these issues. But if
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: you do, and I think this is what is odd
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: about Trump, it's all of a sudden, if you don't
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: agree with everything he does, you're like a bum. And
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: so then these insults start coming to Tucker Carlson, Marjorie
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Taylor Greene, Massey, any number of these people that you've
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: seen who've supported him. I don't think that's an admirable quality.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: So I don't sit here and say, oh, as a
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Trump supporter, that's okay with me.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I believe each and every one of you as Trump supporters,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: or if you're not supporters, have a right to disagree,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a right to your opinion and a right to disagree
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: with the guy on issues. And still be a supporter.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: But there's these people in this, what Ted would refer
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to as a mega cult that must seem to think
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't be able to do that. You must all
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: only think as Trump thinks and agree with everything he
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: does to be a true Trump supporter. And that's craziness.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I think that's craziness when I would see it with
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the Biden supporters who supported everything about Joe Biden, even
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: though it was a disaster. And I looked at him
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: because there truly was a Biden cult as well. It
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: didn't matter what he was doing. They supported him 100 percent.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: And I found that just bizarre. Just as I find
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: it bizarre if the Republicans do it. See, I don't
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: think you can just criticize one side for it. and
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: have a different standard for that side than you do
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: for your own side. That doesn't make sense to me. So,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: like I say, I do sit back and I do
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: look at some of the stuff that's going on. I
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: don't agree with this. I don't agree with this. And
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I ask you to think about this. So what if
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden, just using him as an example, pick whoever
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you want, whatever Democrat you want. What if their personal
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: attorney became the head of the Department of Justice and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: And their personal attorney gets a sweeping release under which
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the IRS is forever barred and precluded from pursuing examinations
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: of Trump, related or affiliated individuals, that means mostly your family,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and related trust and businesses. In other words, the IRS
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: is forever barred From auditing or looking at anything in
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the Trump family or with Trump himself or any of
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: his businesses. Now, that doesn't mean they can't do that
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and look at you. They can't do that and look
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: at the vast majority of the rest of Americans. But
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: you have to sit back and say, would you be
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: approving that if that was, let's say, Biden's personal attorney
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: was at a Department of Justice and gave the Biden
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: family a waiver like that? Or would you be saying,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: that stinks, that's wrong? Because if you would, because I
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: would say I wouldn't agree with that if it was Biden.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: So I'm not going to agree with it when it's
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Trump that you get this waiver that was granted to
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: from the Department of Justice because the guy that was
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: your personal lawyer is now in charge of the Department
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: of Justice. So as a Trump voter and Trump supporter,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and say I agree
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: with that because I wouldn't agree with it if it
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: was someone else. And I think you also have a
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: right to disagree with this war situation and why he
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: did Once again, this reversal from where he was to
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: what is taking place now. Some very odd last-minute reversals
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: on his stands. To the point where a lot of
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: his supporters were shocked by it. His changing on the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: entire Epstein situation. People are concerned about Epstein because it's
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: a double standard of justice. They refer to it as
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the Epstein class. It's just a double standard of justice
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: that these people aren't being held accountable. And the focus
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: should be on the victims. Now, we're talking about adult
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: men here, whether they're influential business people or politicians that
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: were engaging in sexual activity with minor children under the age.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: That alone is bizarre. Whether or not it's Prince Andrew
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: or Clinton or anybody else, who knows? Thinks it's okay
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to have sex with a 14-year-old girl when you're a
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: 50-year-old man. There's something wrong with that person. I don't
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: give a damn what party they're with. I don't care
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: what they're doing. Something's wrong with that. And I don't
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: support it. And these files do not belong to the governments.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: They are our files. This is our government. And we
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: have a right to see, as people have demanded, that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: they be open and released so justice can be done
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: for the victims. But people know, as I've said numerous times,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Epstein was created by the intelligence community. Now, just think
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: for a second, whether that's Mossad or the CIA or both.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: more suspicious of the Mossad connection. But we know he
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: had ties to the intelligence community. So can you imagine
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: that whatever ties that are to an intelligence community, that
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: they would think it's okay to recruit underage girls and
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: get them to engage in sex with 50-year-old men? that
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: any government or any agency would approve anything like that
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: for the purposes of getting something on these people. Oh,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: everything was videotaped and who knows where these files are
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and who knows who was compromised or the power that's
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: held over their heads. We know Bill Gates was hanging
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: out there. We know Clinton was hanging out there. Letnick
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: was on that island. A lot of people knew what
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: was going on there even before just by the names
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: of the Lolita Express and Pedophile Island and this kind
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: of stuff. A lot of people knew what was going on.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Nothing makes that right.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Nothing.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: Nothing.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: But what people are saying is, is there a double
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: standard of justice here for the Epstein class and everybody else?
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: And the answer at this point in time is yes.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: And for the victims there. And the reversal that Pam
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Bondi said with it on her desk and then it
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: wasn't on her desk. Very odd, very strange. Who knows
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: who has these videotapes or these files or this information?
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Who knows who has it? And who can use it
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: to blackmail influential political figures and or business people. Do
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: you think it just disappeared? But where's the justice for it?
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: That's what people want it. That's what Trump wanted. That's what's.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden he did a 180
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: when it was time to pony up on all of
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: this kind of stuff, a 180 to say, you're talking
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: about that story, that's old news by now. Literally in
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the blink of an eye. Well, why did he do that?
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: People are asking questions, why the sudden reversal? Why the
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: sudden reversal on your stand when it came to regime
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: change in the Middle East and forever wars in the
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Middle East? And from the bunker buster, took care of everything,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: solved the problem, mission accomplished. Why the sudden reversal? What
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: is the influence of Israel and the lobbyists? They're questions
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: that deserve to be asked and answered for the American public.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: You have a right to disagree with your country on
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: this war and to disagree with Trump on it. That
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: debate should be taking place. I'll come back. I want
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: to talk some more. I'll get to calls. Stay tuned.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: We've got a long day.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: 570 WKBN.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: 324 in the afternoon. News Radio 570 WKBN and Ron Furb.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: So that's just an example, I mean, when you take
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: a look at the Epstein situation. And that's why he
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden couldn't stand Marjorie Taylor Greene and
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: couldn't stand Thomas Massey and couldn't stand Tucker Carlson. Because
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: they think that we have a right to know what
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: went on here and justice should prevail for the victims.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: That's an old story. That's a reversal from where you
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: stood on this issue. And who has that information? Who's
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: holding it over whose heads? It's something that we all
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: should be concerned about as Americans. Not as Democrats or Republicans,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: but Americans. When I think about this war situation, it
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: reminded me of something the other day. I can remember
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: my father, as many of perhaps your fathers, a World
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: War II veteran. I can remember him arguing with many
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: people back in the day of Vietnam how he was
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: totally and completely opposed to Vietnam, and there were all
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: those people who really were upset by it, thinking that
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: whatever the country said, whatever the president said, you should
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: support it and just go fight for that cause. My
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: father never agreed with that situation from day one. And
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I can remember him having those discussions with some of
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: his World War II colleagues at the time. He wasn't
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: buying a lot of what was being peddled then. It
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: reminds me of this situation. You know, you can have
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: differing opinions on this. You can see them from military experts.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Take a look at General McGregor and where he is.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: A very knowledgeable man. An extremely smart man. Militarily and
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: history speaking. And he's really against this situation. And he
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: thinks Trump's in a terrible situation. I don't think he's
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: a dummy. I think he's a really smart guy. And
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: he thinks this was a major mistake. And then you
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: have people on the other side who do not. So
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: people are entitled to their opinions, but it seems so
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: odd for Trump. I mean, we dropped the bunker buster
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and supposedly that took care of everything. Mission accomplished. See
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: you later. Now we dropped all these other bombs and
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: supposedly that took care of, they're not launching any missiles.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: We got everything done. Okay. See you later. Led to
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: believe we're going to drop more bombs. And I don't know.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: We'll see if that accomplishes anything more. But we shall see.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, I certainly hope that it's, that as an American,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: we can reach, in agreements here to move on from
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: this situation and concentrate on the things that matter most,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: America first, the economy, energy independence, the things that are
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: affecting everyday people right now in this listening audience, financially,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: more so than the threat of Iran and a nuclear weapon.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Because I know better than anything, a lot of these
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: people that are pro-Iran weren't even thinking about Iran and
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon before they were kind of sold on
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: it by the media coverage. They weren't up at night
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: concerned about Iran or thinking they would be bombed by
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon or any of this nonsense. They started
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: just mouthing what they heard on Fox or somewhere else.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, it's become the big issue. Well,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I think the big issue is inflation. I think the
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: big issue is the cost of gasoline. the affordability issue
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: these are big issues that are going to affect all
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: of our lives foreign aid these are all big issues
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the influence of lobbyists on our government so it's okay
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: to disagree with Trump And you can still support him.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: But that's not okay if you're a member of the cult.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: A few more thoughts and phone calls ahead.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: Dot com. News Radio 570.
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: WKVVN.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: So I'm just making that point. I mean, you can
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: debate the war and whether it was a good idea
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: or a bad idea. And you should. And you can
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: listen to various informed opinions, whether that's McGregor or other
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: generals that have a deeper understanding than you and hear
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: their sides of it, because there's debate within their ranks.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: And you can listen to that, and you should. But
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: this idea that somehow, unless you agree with all of this,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: you're no good, Tucker Carlson says, or Massey or Marjorie
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Taylor Greene or any of these other supporters is ridiculous.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: You just disagree on some of those issues. And that
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: is America, and that is using your brain. So I
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: don't sit around, as I said when I started, and say, oh,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: it's okay for Trump and his entire family to get
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: a complete banning and waiver from the IRS, something none
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: of you would ever get. And you'd be bitching if
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Biden pulled the same thing or someone from the other party.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Or if somebody else would have started this war, if
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: you weren't a part of the Trump cult, as Ted says,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: would have started this, you'd say, well, here we go again.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: You know, because we weren't going to get into these
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Middle East situations and regime change. And it seems like
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: that's what it's all coming down to. It seems like
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: we've done all of this and they haven't surrendered. They
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: haven't given up. And it seems like, okay, well, let's
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: go back and bomb some more. Well, is that going
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: to change anything? I hope it does. And then it
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: can come to a conclusion and we can get focused
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: on the border again and get people out of our
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: country that don't belong here. And we can get focused
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: on lowering inflation and energy costs and making life easier
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: on Americans. And I'm not going to sit and attack Massey.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I've said for years when they attack him, we shouldn't
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: be doing any foreign aid. I agree with that. I
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: don't give a damn if it's Egypt, Israel, or any
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: other country. We are broke as a country. We are
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: $ 40 trillion in debt, and we are broke. And I
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: just am convinced, many people have no clue, we take
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: in $ 4. 5 trillion a year in federal income tax. Well,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: if you're spending way more than that, you're just making
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: a debt and deficit bigger, as we are. It's growing
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: in astronomical numbers. And as that number grows, the interest,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: just paying the interest is our second biggest expense, soon
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: to be our first. Just paying the interest, not lowering
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: the amount that's owed, just paying the interest. Is that
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: good use of our tax dollars to pay interest? Is
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: that fair to future generations to stick them with that
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: debt for money spent now that they'll be on the
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: hook to pay for? Should we be doing foreign aid
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: when we have serious issues with the solvency of Social
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Security and Medicare and Medicaid? Is it wrong to put
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: our American citizens first for a change? To say, I
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: believe we should take care of these programs like Social
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Security and Medicare to make sure that they remain solvent
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: for our senior citizens and the promises that were made
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: to them. As opposed to give billions to Egypt or
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Israel or any other country. Or Ukraine. Pick whichever one
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: you want. Just as I was offended when we were
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: funding all of this stuff into Ukraine. We were funding everything.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Their small businesses, their first responders, their pension system was
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: all funded by the American taxpayer. Everything in the Ukraine
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: was funded by it. At the same time, we were
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: crapping on American citizens. Funding all of this stuff in
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: the Ukraine for, and this is insanity. We're broke as
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: a country. We have problems in our own country that
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: could use that financial support as opposed to any of
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: these other countries. But how many people even knew that
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: was going on? How many people actually knew that we
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: were doing something like that? How many were even cognizant
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: that the country was doing something like that? That we
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: were paying for all this stuff. We were paying for
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: the first responders in Ukraine. We were paying for all
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: the fertilizers for their farmers. We were paying for their
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: small business supplementing all of this stuff. It's just insanity.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: The reality is you can't afford it. And my concern
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: is it's going to reach a point where the rest
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: of the stuff that matters most to my fellow Americans
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: just implodes because of this ridiculous spending, how much interest
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: is eating up of our tax dollars coming in for nothing,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: and programs that will implode. So there's always more to
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of these issues, I suspect, than meets the eye.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: But I don't always believe, and I never have, what
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: the government's telling me. I don't care if it's Democrats
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: or Republicans that are in charge. I understand the great
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: effect lobbyists have on our system. And there's things that
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I will disagree with Trump. Doesn't mean I'm going to
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: vote for Sherrod Brown or a Democrat. It just means
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I'm disappointed with him in many of these areas. I
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: do think he's in a quagmire trying to figure out
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: how to get out of this. I mean, he'll never
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: admit to it. He thought this would be over much
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: sooner than it is. And it isn't. And it continues
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: to go on with no end in sight. Only problems
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: that are coming from it. And problems are serious in
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: other parts of the country. Starvation. Energy problems. Lack of
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: fertilizer when it comes to the food and our farmers. Inflation. Shortages.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: So we shall see. I mean, we shall see as
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: time goes on. So that's the bottom line. It's just
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: like A lot of times people pick on J.J., the liberal,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: but J.J. at least would call from time to time,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: and he would disagree with Biden on the open border.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: He supported Biden. I didn't understand it. But he says, listen,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I don't go for the open border. I don't go
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: for this transgender stuff. When he supported Biden, he just
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: didn't support that other crazy stuff of Biden. So he
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: wasn't a cult-like member. of supporting Joe Biden. But there
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: were people that were like that. Whatever Biden did, whatever
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: the Democrats do, it's always okay. The corruption or whatever
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: looked the other way. I can't understand them any more
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: than I can understand anybody that's the same way with
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the Republicans. Mike DeWine's a Republican. I think he's terrible.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I think many of the Republicans in Congress are just...
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: not concerned about the debt and where the country's going
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: but upset let's take some calls rights again i could
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: go on and on and on all right so news
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: radio five so do you.
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: Know if you're in your own ear which the pharmacist
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: excuse me said that whether you agreed or disagreed with
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: the war we should all rally around the flag in
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: support the war i'd rather support anyone who supports a
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: war against inflation. And you correctly told the unknown caller
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: that CEOs of private corporations and the heads of government
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: bureaucracies require two different skill sets. For example, when a
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: boss tells an employee to do something and they refuse...
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: he or she can fire that individual. But when the
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: president tells the heads of bureaucracies to do something, they
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: can simply ignore him and stall and delay until his
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: term is up and he is no longer in office.
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: And I would say to the unknown caller that Trump
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: would be the worst businessman to be president because he
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: bankrupted all 13 businesses he ever started and is working
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: on bankrupting number 13 and is working on bankrupting the country,
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: like you said.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's... It's a difference in being a
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: CEO of a company where you can bark orders and
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: things are happening. I mean, there is Congress. There is
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: a check and balance system that does go on here.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: And that's just how our system is set up. And
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: you have to acknowledge that.
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: Well, also, Jacob DeZinus thinks Margie Taylor Greene is a
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: bad person hypocrite because she is making money in the
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: stock market when she should have... represented the little guy
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: or gal, I looked at all of her trades, and
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: I guarantee you she did not make those trades. Only
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: a professional portfolio manager made those trades. And I disagree
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: with Jacob. Everyone has a right to invest in the
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: stock market, including Donald Trump and his sons, but no
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: one has the right, Jacob... to abuse their position in
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: government to gain an unfair advantage over the little guy investor,
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: like Trump and his family are doing. And Ron, if
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: Margie Taylor Greene had a million dollars in the market,
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: for example, made lots of money, then began withdrawing money
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: or earned interest or dividends, she would pay a lot
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: more in taxes if she successfully grew her money And
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: that would help Jacob. There would be more tax money
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: to kick the can down the road for Social Security
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: so he could get his check before he died. Now,
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: Jacob also repeated the new Massey hater talking point that
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: Trump targeted Massey because even though Massey voted for the
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: Trump agenda the vast majority of times, that he deserved
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: to be tossed out because he voted against the big,
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: beautiful bill. But, Ron, Trump supporters like Margie Taylor Greene
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: and Tucker Carlson supported his big bill, and he attacked
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: them as well. You can't oppose Trump on a single issue,
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: or he will target you. You must march in lockstep. And, Ron,
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: the big, beautiful bill is one of the reasons the
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: feds are now almost $ 40 trillion in debt.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Well, that was a massive object to the Big Beautiful Bill,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: for one, because it just continued to make the debt
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: and deficit bigger. It continued and increased the Biden-era spending,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: was the argument it was making. At what point do
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: we deal with this particular situation? That's a fair argument
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: to make, because the country is broke and it's going
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: down this road. Everyone thinks that these numbers mean nothing.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: The people don't understand the amount of your tax, how
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: much tax dollars we take in, how much goes to
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: interest payments, and you get nothing for it when that's
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: your second biggest expenditure. You're not lowering the debt or deficit.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: You're just, your tread water is what you're doing. So
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: it's foolish. And at the same time, you're not propping up,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: whether that's Social Security or Medicare, or quite frankly, even Medicaid,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: for we do have poor people that need health coverage
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: in that sense, or any other program in America for Americans.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: I would rather start there than in any other country.
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: And didn't Trump run on the promise to balance the budget?
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: national dept job put ron paul in charge of the
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: fed in order to stop inflation you know during the
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: administration's of brocco bombing joe biden how many times did
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: we hear about how republicans were the answer to all
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: those big spending Democrats who are bankrupting our country.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Conservatives, smaller government, lower taxes, raining in spending. Remember Ronald Reagan?
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: We don't have a taxing problem, we have a spending problem. Well,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: we still do. And it's getting worse. Not better. Not better.
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, if only American voters would put those fiscally responsible
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: Republicans in charge of both houses of Congress and the presidency...
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: we were repeatedly told fiscal responsibility returned to the federal government. But,
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: you know, during Trump's first term in office, when Republicans
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: did control both houses of Congress, the federal debt increased
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: by almost $ 8 trillion.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it certainly is a problem. All right, Frank,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: thank you. You're on the air.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: Hello.
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: Hey there, good afternoon. You know... This process, or were
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: the conservative Republicans, because I am a Republican, but I'm
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: not a conservative Republican. I would never be that way.
• 34:38
  Speaker 8: And our dear friend in the morning, him and I
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: would go around about that, and he just couldn't understand
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: what I was saying. Conservative Republicans, as far as I
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: was concerned, were the rhinos. Take in point, 10 years, 15,
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: or maybe 10 or 12 years ago, when House Senator,
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: I think it was, was the Speaker of the House,
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: here in Ohio, got caught, and they went to put
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: another guy in there. And some of the Republicans agreed
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: with the Democrats on who should take his place. And
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: for the first thing, started screaming out of those conservative
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: Republicans are, they're nothing but a bunch of rhinos. They're
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: nothing but a bunch of rhinos. Till three days later,
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: one of the Republicans called up and said, let's get
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: this straight. We as a group voted together as we
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: should to make a new to put another speaker the
• 35:31
  Speaker 8: house yet it had nothing to do with being a
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: rhino they just wanted their way and they didn't care
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: now that's and all and now ghost is trying to
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: get rid of that uh..
• 35:44
  Speaker 9: Uh..
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: Uh... judgment or court thing for the whole state university
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: pedophile doctor he wants to drop that whole thing and
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: the whole state university which is the one Jim Jordan
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: was at, have paid over $ 30 million in hush money
• 36:06
  Speaker 8: or to compensate for what that doctor did to them people.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Well, it comes down to, listen, the Republicans are in charge,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: and apparently we got a lot of fraud going on
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: here with some of the people here. We hear about
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: it in Minnesota, whether it's Somalis or Haitians or whatever
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: the situation is in Ohio. But apparently we got a
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: lot of corruption that's been taking place here, money that's
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: been stolen that we hear about in Minnesota, very much
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: here in the state of Ohio. Well, where's our Attorney General?
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Where is our All East Republican office holder? Stand by.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: I'll get back to you in a minute. And other callers,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: stand by. Back with more in a bit. 3.52 in
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: the afternoon. Ron Furb, back in a minute.
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Back to it. News Radio 570 WKBN. And let's see.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Where was I here? Where was I? All right, so
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: you take a look at DeWine as a Republican, and
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: I don't care for him. For example, he made a
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: decision that when data centers build and buy their materials,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: they don't have to pay sales tax on it. As
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: I say, if you build a garage, you've got to
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: pay sales tax on the materials. But a data center,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: which is spending tons of money, is waived on it?
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense to me. And so..
• 37:32
  Speaker 8: It don't make any sense to me either.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Stand by. I got my news and I come back
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: to you. Just bear with me here.
• 37:43
  Speaker 10: From ABC News.
• 37:46
  Speaker 11: I'm Mike Dabusky. The case against Kilmar Abrego-Garcia has been dismissed,
• 37:50
  Speaker 11: with a judge saying the federal government's case against him
• 37:53
  Speaker 11: had a vindictive motive. Abrego-Garcia had been facing human smuggling charges.
• 37:58
  Speaker 11: He was also wrongfully deported to El Salvador last year
• 38:02
  Speaker 11: and served time at that country's notorious Seacott prison. The
• 38:05
  Speaker 11: Trump administration's so-called anti-weaponization fund is now facing a second
• 38:10
  Speaker 11: federal lawsuit, this time from a coalition of nonprofits and individuals,
• 38:14
  Speaker 11: including a former January 6th prosecutor. They allege the fund
• 38:17
  Speaker 11: bypasses Congress's authority over federal spending. ABC News Chief White
• 38:21
  Speaker 11: House Correspondent Mary Bruce says it's not the only place
• 38:24
  Speaker 11: the idea is facing pushback.
• 38:26
  Speaker 12: Republicans are demanding answers and refusing to approve more funding
• 38:30
  Speaker 12: for the president's immigration crackdown until they get them. Acting
• 38:34
  Speaker 12: Attorney General Todd Blanch scrambling to the hill. For over
• 38:38
  Speaker 12: two hours, Blanch getting an earful. Republicans yelling at him.
• 38:42
  Speaker 12: Some of the president's most ardent supporters telling the acting
• 38:45
  Speaker 12: attorney general that the president's fund... will cost them the
• 38:48
  Speaker 12: majority in the upcoming midterms.
• 38:50
  Speaker 11: Kevin Warsh sworn in today at the White House as
• 38:52
  Speaker 11: chairman of the Federal Reserve.
• 38:54
  Speaker 13: Our mandate at the Fed is to promote price stability
• 38:58
  Speaker 13: and maximum employment. When we pursue those aims with wisdom
• 39:02
  Speaker 13: and clarity, independence and resolve, inflation can be lower. growth stronger.
• 39:10
  Speaker 11: The World Health Organization is warning that Ebola is spreading
• 39:13
  Speaker 11: rapidly across the Democratic Republic of the Congo, upgrading the
• 39:16
  Speaker 11: national risk there to very high.
• 39:18
  Speaker 14: Dr.
• 39:19
  Speaker 11: Kent Brantley became infected with Ebola during the 2014 outbreak.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: He spoke with ABC News.
• 39:24
  Speaker 11: Although we've developed lots of therapeutics and vaccines for Ebola,
• 39:28
  Speaker 11: they've not been targeted at this strain.
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: This is a different strain, the Bundabugio strain.
• 39:33
  Speaker 15: And so we don't have the usual tools that have
• 39:36
  Speaker 15: been used over the last 10 years or so to
• 39:38
  Speaker 15: fight these outbreaks.
• 39:39
  Speaker 14: You're listening to ABC News.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Back to it. News Radio 570. You're on the air.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: Ron.
• 39:45
  Speaker 16: Yes.
• 39:50
  Speaker 17: Oh, Ron, I've been listening. I listened all the way
• 39:54
  Speaker 17: to Michigan about all this Trump. Listen, everybody has a
• 39:58
  Speaker 17: right to disagree with Trump. And I understand how some
• 40:03
  Speaker 17: people would find this super disturbing, the fact that he
• 40:06
  Speaker 17: got this DOJ tax.
• 40:08
  Speaker 18: You're not going to look into his taxes.
• 40:11
  Speaker 17: But what people seem to forget is if you were Trump,
• 40:15
  Speaker 17: What would you do? Let's not forget the fact that
• 40:18
  Speaker 17: they sued this man from one side of the country
• 40:21
  Speaker 17: to the other. Russia, Russia, Russia, two impeachments, Ukraine phone call,
• 40:26
  Speaker 17: New York business fraud. They valued Mar-a-Lago at like, I
• 40:30
  Speaker 17: don't know, something insane. All the January 6th, the classified
• 40:34
  Speaker 17: documents BS, the Georgia election case, all the civil lawsuits.
• 40:39
  Speaker 17: And we're questioning why would he want this? Why would
• 40:44
  Speaker 17: he want this agreement? It doesn't take a nuclear scientist
• 40:48
  Speaker 17: to figure out why he would want this for.
• 40:50
  Speaker 9: Him and his kids.
• 40:51
  Speaker 17: They have shown that they will do anything and everything
• 40:55
  Speaker 17: that they can in their power to destroy him. Now,
• 40:59
  Speaker 17: people are upset about the Iran. I get it because
• 41:03
  Speaker 17: everybody wants economic stability. Everybody wants the war to end.
• 41:08
  Speaker 17: I do too.
• 41:09
  Speaker 9: I'm sick of paying at the pump too.
• 41:12
  Speaker 17: But we are, Americans are like, we need resolution today,
• 41:16
  Speaker 17: right now, today.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: We want it solved today.
• 41:18
  Speaker 17: Everybody knows the timeline that's pending, right? That's the election
• 41:22
  Speaker 17: coming up. We have to give them the time. We
• 41:25
  Speaker 17: got to give them the time. And if it blocks,
• 41:27
  Speaker 17: then everybody, you know, and everybody should be questioning it.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: I agree with that.
• 41:32
  Speaker 17: There's days I question it more than others. But overall,
• 41:35
  Speaker 17: we have to give them a little bit of time.
• 41:38
  Speaker 17: Before we have to burn the whole house down. Can't
• 41:40
  Speaker 17: we give them a little time before we burn the
• 41:42
  Speaker 17: house to the ground? That's all I'm saying.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: And if it was you and they sued your daughter,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: your son, your wife, every person.
• 41:51
  Speaker 17: You knew and through every lawsuit tied you up.
• 41:54
  Speaker 19: In court, you know, tried to bankrupt you. Do you
• 41:58
  Speaker 19: see why he might want to do this?
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, I absolutely see why he would want to do it.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: And you should, and I would.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Do it too.
• 42:06
  Speaker 17: And any reasonable person would do it. Not because you
• 42:10
  Speaker 17: have something to hide. Listen, they've already gone through all this,
• 42:13
  Speaker 17: finances a million different ways sideways. I mean..
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Well, let's back up here.
• 42:17
  Speaker 18: I'm getting an.
• 42:18
  Speaker 17: Aye-aye, Captain, because I deserve one on that.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: You know I.
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: Crushed that point.
• 42:22
  Speaker 19: I crushed it. I crushed it.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: You know, sit down here, Beavis. Now listen to this.
• 42:28
  Speaker 17: No, I don't want Beavis. Give me a different name.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Settle down, Beavis. Don't you remember that?
• 42:33
  Speaker 17: I'm going to give you a nickname.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Here is the deal. I mean, everyone should realize what
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: brought this on to begin with. I mean, you had
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: somebody at the IRS that leaked the tax returns. Tax
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: returns are privates. They're not supposed to be made public.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: I'll give fault where fault goes. So you had a
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: person there that leaked Trump's personal tax return, which is
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: against the law. Also, Sean Hannity's and other conservatives. All right,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: so the guy literally in his position with the IRS
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: stole this information and released it. And I blame him,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: and he is in jail. In addition to that, though,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: I blame the media because I blame the New York
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Times and the media that took information that was stolen
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: and should have never been published because it was stolen
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: in private and published it anyway because of their hatred
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: of Trump. or Sean Hannity, or conservatives. So they publish
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: this stuff mainly because of conservatives, and that's why they
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: put it out there, Hannity's and more. And these media
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: entities should be sued and should have to make these
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: individuals whole as a result of putting out this stolen information.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: They should be on the hook for it because they
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: were the ones that... made it public. Now, hang on.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: So they have liability on this. And if I go
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: one step further, okay, so they put this fund together
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: as a settlement with him. That's all well and good.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: That tax return should have never been let go to
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: begin with. But to get a blanket waiver..
• 44:17
  Speaker 14: What has Biden done?
• 44:19
  Speaker 17: And I'm not saying just because one does it, the.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Other one has to do it. What Biden did was
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: he did all this stuff for his family. Now, if
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Trump leaves and pardons his family, I guess you could say, well,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: what's the big deal? Biden did it as well. So
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: is that where we want to go, though, as a
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: country where your family can get away with stuff?
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: No.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: Listen, I don't know. I haven't read enough about it,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: but I see people talking a lot about the Trump
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: kids that you don't see a lot of are making
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: a ton of money. No, no, no. This is outside that.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't know enough about it
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: yet to say one way or the other. But if
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: it's if it's the case, if they are making money
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: because of their father, their father's position, it doesn't make
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: it any more right than when Hunter Biden was doing
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: it because of his dad's position. You follow what I'm saying?
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: If you got one.
• 45:12
  Speaker 19: Standard for one, then you.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: By God better have it for the other side.
• 45:17
  Speaker 17: I understand that. And I agree with that.
• 45:19
  Speaker 19: I'm saying that is smart.
• 45:21
  Speaker 17: It is smart to put protections in place as soon
• 45:24
  Speaker 17: as he leaves office. And if we lose the Senator
• 45:28
  Speaker 17: of the House or both, they're going to impeach him.
• 45:32
  Speaker 17: And they're going to start suing him all over again.
• 45:34
  Speaker 14: I would do this.
• 45:35
  Speaker 17: They dragged him to hell. They called him everything from
• 45:38
  Speaker 17: a traitor to this to that. They made him, they
• 45:41
  Speaker 17: dragged him through the mud for years.
• 45:45
  Speaker 19: All politically motivated.
• 45:47
  Speaker 17: I would do the same thing.
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: And I would do it for my children.
• 45:51
  Speaker 17: I would do it for anybody who was around me
• 45:52
  Speaker 17: that I had to protect. It makes no sense. Trump
• 45:55
  Speaker 17: has had a bazillion dollars before. He'll have a bazillion
• 45:58
  Speaker 17: dollars after. He doesn't need the money anymore. And I
• 46:02
  Speaker 17: could totally understand why he would do that. And I
• 46:05
  Speaker 17: think you could, too, because we know how.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: Bad it was.
• 46:08
  Speaker 17: I mean, and would they value Mar-a-Lago at? It was
• 46:12
  Speaker 17: like something insane. I mean, just any way that they could.
• 46:16
  Speaker 17: They had him tied up in lawsuits. He couldn't even campaign.
• 46:18
  Speaker 17: He couldn't move. He couldn't move. I mean, it was
• 46:23
  Speaker 17: like he had to be in court hearings, and he
• 46:25
  Speaker 17: couldn't even be on the campaign trail. It was all strategic.
• 46:29
  Speaker 17: These people are crazy. They will stop at nothing. And
• 46:33
  Speaker 17: in regards to.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: This war, we.
• 46:36
  Speaker 17: Do not have to burn the whole building down. Yes,
• 46:38
  Speaker 17: we question and we should question. We're not bobbleheads. We're
• 46:41
  Speaker 17: not mental midgets. We need to have brains and be
• 46:43
  Speaker 17: thinking what is going on, questioning it. Do we like it?
• 46:47
  Speaker 8: We don't like it.
• 46:49
  Speaker 17: But you don't burn the house to the ground in
• 46:51
  Speaker 17: this short amount of time. He knows the deadline. I mean,
• 46:54
  Speaker 17: he knows it's approaching. And by the end of this summer,
• 46:57
  Speaker 17: there hasn't been something that is either driving prices down
• 47:01
  Speaker 17: or we haven't handled Iran. And that hasn't concluded. He
• 47:07
  Speaker 17: knows we're in trouble. I believe he's going to do
• 47:10
  Speaker 17: everything he possibly can do to stop that. I mean,
• 47:13
  Speaker 17: do we think he wants us to lose seats? And
• 47:20
  Speaker 17: I'm irritated with it, too.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, it cost me like.
• 47:23
  Speaker 17: $ 80 to fill out my... I just drove four hours
• 47:27
  Speaker 17: to Michigan and back. I get it. And everything is
• 47:31
  Speaker 17: more expensive. But we want everything right now. We want
• 47:36
  Speaker 17: it right now in this country. We have little tolerance.
• 47:40
  Speaker 17: And I think we would all say..
• 47:43
  Speaker 19: If not him, then who?
• 47:45
  Speaker 17: The alternative, and you know this, you agree with this,
• 47:49
  Speaker 17: is insane. So we've elected him because we think he is,
• 47:54
  Speaker 17: you know, the art of the deal. He's strategic minded.
• 47:56
  Speaker 17: Is he arrogant? Absolutely. Does he make me crazy sometimes?
• 48:00
  Speaker 17: Sometimes there's words that come out of his mouth. I
• 48:02
  Speaker 17: wish I could reach through the phone and grab him
• 48:03
  Speaker 17: by his neck. Or say, are you stupid? Like, why
• 48:07
  Speaker 17: would you say that? There's a million times where I
• 48:10
  Speaker 17: want to, like, literally scream. Forget to put the lesser
• 48:14
  Speaker 17: of the evils. Like, the stuff that comes out of
• 48:17
  Speaker 17: his mouth or the.
• 48:18
  Speaker 19: Policies that he, you know, or the closed border.
• 48:20
  Speaker 17: I've got to pick. And, you know, Trump, listen, people say, oh,
• 48:27
  Speaker 17: Trump's vindictive. I mean, he just goes after it. I
• 48:30
  Speaker 17: totally hate, I hate that he does it.
• 48:33
  Speaker 18: I hate it.
• 48:34
  Speaker 17: It sickens me.
• 48:36
  Speaker 19: Trump wasn't any different four.
• 48:37
  Speaker 17: Years ago, just so everybody listening knows.
• 48:41
  Speaker 6: Never tolerated.
• 48:43
  Speaker 19: You were either on his team or.
• 48:44
  Speaker 17: You were against him. He has not changed. He wants
• 48:48
  Speaker 17: all the players on the field moving in the same
• 48:50
  Speaker 17: motion with the same goal.
• 48:51
  Speaker 19: He's always been that way.
• 48:53
  Speaker 17: And if he even smells that you disagree with him,
• 48:55
  Speaker 17: he don't want to on his team.
• 48:57
  Speaker 19: Now, he elected that.
• 48:58
  Speaker 17: You're going to cry about it today. That's my thought,
• 49:05
  Speaker 17: and I think I should get an IR captain, and
• 49:07
  Speaker 17: I'm not Beavis. You can come up with another name.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: Don't give me Beavis.
• 49:10
  Speaker 17: I'm going to give you Beavis.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: All right. I'll go with Butthead then.
• 49:13
  Speaker 20: All right.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Have a great week.
• 49:17
  Speaker 19: Ring the bell. Where's your bell?
• 49:19
  Speaker 14: Go ahead and ring it.
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: It.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute.
• 49:20
  Speaker 13: Hang on.
• 49:21
  Speaker 18: Hang on.
• 49:22
  Speaker 17: Ring it because I crushed it, Ron.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: You're awful demanding.
• 49:27
  Speaker 19: Oh, I just want to get it out.
• 49:28
  Speaker 17: That was... I get it standing over that, and you're
• 49:31
  Speaker 17: going to be standing and trying not to give it
• 49:33
  Speaker 17: to me.
• 49:33
  Speaker 19: But I already know that you know that I know.
• 49:35
  Speaker 13: So here's that.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: There you go, Sam. There you go. That's enough. All right.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Have a great weekend. NewsRadio 570, Dodie Kim, you're on
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: the air.
• 49:43
  Speaker 18: Ron, how you doing?
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 49:48
  Speaker 10: Hey, it's kind of interesting listening to that last caller.
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: You know, she..
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: It's very interesting.
• 49:56
  Speaker 10: When you listen to people who are defending Trump, especially
• 50:00
  Speaker 10: on Iran, talking about inflation, the economy, the basically only
• 50:07
  Speaker 10: reason or the only justification you hear from people is that, well,
• 50:11
  Speaker 10: we have to give him time.
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: I trust him.
• 50:15
  Speaker 10: We need to give him more time. There's never any, like,
• 50:18
  Speaker 10: reasons given for why we should support Trump with his
• 50:23
  Speaker 10: war on Iran, why people think it's worth it. It's
• 50:27
  Speaker 10: all just trust. You've got to trust him. So I
• 50:30
  Speaker 10: think those arguments are extremely weak. And basically, that's what
• 50:35
  Speaker 10: Trump's suffering so bad in the polls right now. Now,
• 50:38
  Speaker 10: the other thing I wanted to talk about is, you know,
• 50:42
  Speaker 10: talking about the economy and Most people are actually, Frank
• 50:48
  Speaker 10: was kind of talking about it, like, you know, some
• 50:50
  Speaker 10: people think that, oh, we should have, like, a businessman
• 50:52
  Speaker 10: who runs the economy or is in charge of our government.
• 50:57
  Speaker 10: That doesn't even make sense. The point of a business
• 51:01
  Speaker 10: owner or a CEO or someone who's a head of
• 51:04
  Speaker 10: a company is to make money for that company, okay?
• 51:09
  Speaker 10: If you have a person who's a head of the U.S.
• 51:11
  Speaker 10: government and their job is to make money for the U.S. government,
• 51:16
  Speaker 10: the only way the U.S. government can make money, I mean,
• 51:18
  Speaker 10: they can make some investments outside the country and things
• 51:22
  Speaker 10: like that, but is to take money out of the
• 51:25
  Speaker 10: private sector and to put it in the public sector.
• 51:29
  Speaker 10: That would be the only way for the U.S. government
• 51:33
  Speaker 10: to make money. Now, if you actually want to look
• 51:37
  Speaker 10: at like a chart, you could pull this up, you
• 51:39
  Speaker 10: could look at the the amount of money that the
• 51:42
  Speaker 10: private sector has, like private sector profits, and you can
• 51:47
  Speaker 10: compare that against.
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: Public sector debt.
• 51:50
  Speaker 10: Now, this is, I could send you the chart if
• 51:53
  Speaker 10: you're interested. They exactly mirror each other. So there is
• 51:58
  Speaker 10: no way for a private business to make money unless
• 52:03
  Speaker 10: the government has produced money and handed that money out
• 52:07
  Speaker 10: into the economy for people to make money. So that's
• 52:10
  Speaker 10: what people, when people refer to the debt, when people say, oh,
• 52:14
  Speaker 10: there's a $ 40 trillion debt on our government, well, yeah,
• 52:19
  Speaker 10: because they've put $ 40 trillion into our economy. They've given
• 52:24
  Speaker 10: money to pensions funds. They give money to private businesses.
• 52:28
  Speaker 10: They give money to all these institutional investors. That is
• 52:32
  Speaker 10: literally the only way. That is, in fact, how our
• 52:37
  Speaker 10: economy works. Now, I think it's a legitimate concern to say, well,
• 52:43
  Speaker 10: maybe the government shouldn't put all that much money into
• 52:47
  Speaker 10: the economy. Okay, that's one argument, but that means the
• 52:53
  Speaker 10: only way to reduce that deficit is to take money
• 52:57
  Speaker 10: out of private citizens' hands and put it back into
• 53:00
  Speaker 10: the government. And the debt that's owed by the government...
• 53:07
  Speaker 10: is owned by, I've already kind of mentioned it, pension funds,
• 53:12
  Speaker 10: institutional investors, things like that. So if the government were
• 53:16
  Speaker 10: forced to pay those out, all those people who made
• 53:19
  Speaker 10: those investments by buying treasuries and things like that, they
• 53:22
  Speaker 10: would get less of a return than they expected. So
• 53:27
  Speaker 10: most people are extremely confused about what it means for
• 53:31
  Speaker 10: our government to have a debt, what it means when
• 53:34
  Speaker 10: the government creates money. things like that, people are just
• 53:37
  Speaker 10: extremely confused about it all.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know that that's confusing. Debt isn't a good
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: thing for the government to have because, as I said,
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: your second biggest expense is solely the interest on the debt,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: not lowering it, and it continues to grow. So, I mean,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: so the reality is of your $ 4. 5 trillion coming in
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: a year and your federal income tax dollars, your second
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: biggest expense is the interest on it. You've got to
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: cut spending and you've got to get them.
• 54:06
  Speaker 10: Who are they paying that interest to?
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Well, in many cases, I don't care if it's China
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: or Japan or American investors, it doesn't make it right.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: It isn't a good thing when so much of your
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: tax dollars are going to pay for nothing other than
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: interest going out as opposed to using it for other purposes.
• 54:29
  Speaker 10: But the government's not forcing people to borrow or to
• 54:33
  Speaker 10: buy government debt.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: Well, it's becoming more and more difficult. It's becoming more difficult.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: Stand by. Stand by.
• 54:41
  Speaker 20: Hang on.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Finish my conversation with him. Take more of your calls
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: straight ahead. 422 Ron Verb from the Kingdom of Mali.
• 54:49
  Speaker 5: 570 WKBN.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: So then according to your philosophy, then, it doesn't matter
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: to you if the debt's $ 40 trillion or $ 100 trillion.
• 55:00
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that's right. If you look at Japan's debt to GDP,
• 55:05
  Speaker 10: they're almost like double. We're basically like we're about as
• 55:10
  Speaker 10: much in debt as we make in GDP a year.
• 55:14
  Speaker 10: If you look at Japan, they're about double. They're about
• 55:16
  Speaker 10: double in debt over their GDP. Now, I mean, there's
• 55:19
  Speaker 10: a lot of reasons why you wouldn't want to do that.
• 55:22
  Speaker 10: Maybe the government's making bad investments. Maybe you think they're
• 55:26
  Speaker 10: not going to be able to make their payments on
• 55:28
  Speaker 10: that stuff in the future. You know, that's all like
• 55:30
  Speaker 10: completely legitimate. Like, you know, I think it's a really
• 55:33
  Speaker 10: bad idea for the government to go into debt in
• 55:36
  Speaker 10: order to spend money on a war in Iran. I
• 55:39
  Speaker 10: think that's a terrible investment. But, you know, an investment like, hey,
• 55:44
  Speaker 10: let's spend some money on Medicaid so that, you know,
• 55:50
  Speaker 10: we don't have as much, you know, pain and suffering
• 55:53
  Speaker 10: throughout the society. People can actually see the doctors they
• 55:55
  Speaker 10: want to. Well, I think that's a good investment. You know,
• 55:58
  Speaker 10: but that's exactly the opposite of how conservatives and Republicans
• 56:03
  Speaker 10: view it. And I think it's actually, like, really detrimental
• 56:07
  Speaker 10: to our economy. You know, what they say is, you know,
• 56:11
  Speaker 10: we're Republicans, we want less taxes, smaller government. I mean, yeah,
• 56:16
  Speaker 10: I agree they want less taxes. They don't want smaller government.
• 56:19
  Speaker 10: I mean, look at what George W.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: Bush did.
• 56:23
  Speaker 10: He lowered taxes and increased spending on wars. That is
• 56:28
  Speaker 10: the exact same thing Trump is doing.
• 56:31
  Speaker 6: He did the.
• 56:32
  Speaker 10: Big bullcrap bill, and he lowered taxes on the wealthiest
• 56:38
  Speaker 10: citizens in our society, the wealthiest companies, and then he's
• 56:43
  Speaker 10: borrowing more to go to a war in Iran. Or
• 56:50
  Speaker 10: he's taking health care away from people who are disabled
• 56:54
  Speaker 10: who deserve Medicaid. I think it's absolute insanity. It is
• 57:00
  Speaker 10: such poor investing. And it's just sad to me that
• 57:05
  Speaker 10: most people don't really understand that that's how the economy works.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: Do you think Trump is wrong by saying, or the
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: Republicans are wrong saying, if you're 25 years old and
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: of work age, that you shouldn't be able to sit
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: on your ass and get Medicaid? That you've got to
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: grow up and go get a job with benefits?
• 57:21
  Speaker 10: Well, it would be Medicare.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: Do you know what it would be? No, it would
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: not be Medicare. Medicare is only for the elderly. I'm
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: talking Medicaid.
• 57:30
  Speaker 6: You're right, Medicaid.
• 57:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you're right. Do you know what it takes to
• 57:34
  Speaker 10: apply for Medicaid?
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: I've never been on it, but this was the argument
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: when they said, oh, he's taking away Medicaid from young people. No,
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: they said merely you shouldn't be. He wasn't taking it
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: away from. There's a couple of things as I back up.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: They wanted to take away the additional supplements that the
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: Democrats put in with a five-year time limit. frame on
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: it that the Democrats put in, that this should sunset
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: after five years during COVID. So during COVID, they weren't
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: supposed to come to an end. They weren't supposed to
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: be permanent. So it was a misconception to begin with.
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: So consequently, it just went back to where it was
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: before the additional supplements were there.
• 58:14
  Speaker 10: I already explained to you why spending on health care
• 58:16
  Speaker 10: is a good investment. Spending on war is a bad investment.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: Well, we're still spending on health care. We're just not
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: spending as much with the additional supplements that were put
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: there for COVID. It was not meant to be permanent.
• 58:28
  Speaker 10: People who are not on health care. who aren't covered.
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: Is there personal responsibility in this society at all? Do
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: you have any personal responsibility? I say this all the time,
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: and I would ask you this question. When I grew up,
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: my father covered me with health care. When I became
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: an adult, as he said, you either find a job
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: that has it or you go out and buy it
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: on your own. It's called growing up and being personally responsible.
• 58:50
  Speaker 8: Don't you think?
• 58:51
  Speaker 10: I've got a really simple response to that.
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: All right, stand by. I want to hear it when
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: I do my headlines, and I'll come back. And listen
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: to it right after this. NewsRadio 570.
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: WKVN.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: Stay tuned. A tire sale.
• 59:01
  Speaker 5: NewsRadio 570. WKVN.
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: All right. More of your calls straight ahead. 434. It's
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: 63 degrees on this Friday, May 22nd.
• 59:10
  Speaker 21: 22nd.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: Ron Verb, News Radio 570 WKV from the Kingdom of Mahoning.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: Do you believe, then, that an individual should have personal
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: responsibility for their decisions and their behavior?
• 59:21
  Speaker 10: Yeah, of course.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: So I mean, when you're talking about, see, you always
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: make these things sound so vicious. So is it wrong
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: to say that a 25-year-old, as I said, as growing up,
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know how your life worked, but you were
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: probably covered by your parents' hospitalization. Then as you got older,
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: you either found a job that had it or you
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: went out and bought it. Those were your options. It's
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: called being an adult growing up. The argument was you
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: can't sit at 25 years old, do nothing with your life,
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: and expect the taxpayers on an able-bodied young man or
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: woman to pay for your health care. Nor should we
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: pay for it. At some point, you need to kick
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: any ass in the personal responsibility. Just as if you
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: make bad decisions, you have to suffer the consequences. If
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: you choose to smoke and you come down with heart
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: disease or lung cancer, that isn't my fault. That's a
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: decision you made. And those consequences will be suffered by you.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. where you go with that
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: type of mentality. Now, if you're saying to me, would
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: I would rather see my tax dollars spent on my
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: fellow Americans? Yes, as opposed to any foreign country. That's
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: where I agree with Massey completely. I am totally opposed
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: to foreign aid because we got enough problems in this country.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: And I'm not opposed to people getting unemployment because it
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: means they were employed. I'm not opposed to Social Security
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: because it means people You worked and earned that. That's
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: an earned benefit. I'm not opposed to Medicare. It means
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: you worked and you earned that. And I'm not even
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: opposed to Medicaid for people that are truly disabled and
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: need that assistance and or we see many cases that
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: are responsible people and they lose everything because of being
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: in a nursing home. I fully understand that as well.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: As I say, everybody's one bankruptcy away from one major
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: illness away from bankruptcy. So I get all of that.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not opposed to that. that type of spending. But
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: the philosophy that you have that, oh, debt is good
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: when it comes to government, it is not good. When
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: this much of your yearly tax dollars coming in is
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: going to pay the interest, that is not good return
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: on the money you're taking from your citizens for the
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: tax dollars. You're living beyond your means as a country.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: at that point, and you can't continue to do that
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: and grow it. Because as you grow that debt, as
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: the interest rates can go up, then that becomes your
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: number one expense, or the economy collapses. So, no, you
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: have to get rid of the debt. You don't put
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: it on future generations. You don't act like it's a
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: good thing. We are having difficulties getting rid of some
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: of these T-bills and bonds now. Countries do go bankrupt,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: and they do go insolvent. And I don't want to
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: see that.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I completely agree. I mean, America is making horrible
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 10: investments right now.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 10: I mean, that's why the bond market is going down.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 10: The dollar is going down. I mean, just in the
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 10: last year, it's, you know, 10, 10, 15, 20 percent
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 10: down the dollar.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: And there's concern about the petrodollar.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 10: And Republicans are good. They prefer that. They don't think
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 10: that the dollar should be controlled by the government. The
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 10: dollar should be a free-floating private asset, basically. That's what
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 10: most conservatives think. That's why they favor a Bitcoin and
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 10: things like that. But I wanted to respond to you
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 10: about the personal responsibility of a 25-year-old. I mean, yeah,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 10: I completely agree. Yeah, if you're 25 years old and
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 10: you're should be able to work, yeah, I don't think
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 10: you should qualify for Medicaid. You know, I mean, that's
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 10: why they have all those tests that you have to do,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 10: forms you have to fill out, you have to prove
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 10: that you're not able to work. You know, and I
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 10: would kind of flip it on you, and I would say, well,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 10: doesn't our society have a responsibility to those people who
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 10: are injured? Like, let's say you have epilepsy and you
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 10: can't be employed. Like, there's no..
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 18: It's a business owner, which I am.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 10: A business owner has a responsibility to make money for
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 10: their business. So you can't hire someone who's disabled. You
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 10: can't just pay those people just out of the goodness
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 10: of your heart.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: That's irresponsible. Nor am I saying..
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 10: Someone has to take care of those people. And I
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 10: believe it's all of us that have to do that.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: Well, no, that is genuinely what's... OK, let's talk about it.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 10: But this idea that it's like cut and dry is
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 10: just completely wrong.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: No, but that is what Medicaid is for.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 10: Invest in war, invest in military, invest in weapons and
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 10: not invest in health care is one of the worst
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 10: investments I've ever heard of.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: Well, can you invest, can you spend way too much
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: in a military industrial complex? I think we were warned
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: about that. And I think the answer to that obviously
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: is yes. I don't think you'll hear many people say to,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: when you talk about people that have serious health issues,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: if I can finish my thought, as I said to you,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: if somebody loses everything because they've had a stroke or
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: an ALS or something and end up in a nursing home,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: we're not going to put them out on the street.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: That is what these relief programs like Medicaid are for.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: They're being abused by people that are able-bodied that need
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: to go out and operate on their own. So I
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: don't think you get an.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 18: Argument from people.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 10: Do you know anyone personally who's abusing it?
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, the answer to that is yes. Unfortunately, there are
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: plenty of people– well, I shouldn't say plenty. There are
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: those people that say– some might say it's smart, not dumb.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: They don't want to make additional money because if they do,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: they would lose their benefits. And as a result of that,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: it would cost them more money because they would have
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: to buy their benefits. But that is growing up, and.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 9: That is– Yeah, I agree.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 10: We should get rid of all that stuff.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, that's– There's a saying, and you need
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: to learn it. Don't make your problems my problems.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 22: All right?
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: Don't make your bad decisions my bad decisions. Don't reward
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: bad behavior.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 10: The whole economy is going in the tank. It's insane.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 10: The people who are supporting this guy, they don't understand
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 10: what's going on.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: Well, what's going on?
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 10: They're calling in to try to explain it to you.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 10: You're still not listening.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm listening. You say because of Trump, the whole
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: economy is going in a tank, and the reason for
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: that is what?
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 10: Well, as I've already said, the dollar is down 10%
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 10: to 20% actively because he's destroying... Our international relationships, people
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 10: who have money in other countries are not really interested
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 10: in investing in America. We're just going to betray them,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 10: stab them in the back.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: How do we do that?
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 10: Actively degrading our ability to act in the world. I
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 10: think it's, I think it's absolutely.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: How is he doing that? Do you think he was wrong?
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 10: Pushing away the Gulf states right now, Saudi Arabia is
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 10: not letting us fly over their country. They are one
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 10: of the most, the country most responsible for the success
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 10: in our stock market is Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar. They're
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 10: all pumping oil, and then the money they make on
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 10: that oil, they invest in the U.S.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: Economy.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 10: That's called the petrodollar. That is at serious risk.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: It's okay.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 10: I mean, it might make sense to go away, like
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 10: in the grand scheme of things. I think that's probably
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 10: a good thing. But that will actively hurt our economy.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 10: And it is actively hurting our economy right now.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: Well, the stock market, as I say, there's a disconnect
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: between Wall Street and Main Street, seems to be doing
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: quite well. Record highs.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 4: Which one?
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 10: Main Street's doing well?
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: No, the stock market's been doing extremely well. I said
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: there's a disconnect between Main Street and the stock market.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 10: Well, do you think that's good, that the stock market's
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 10: doing well and the Main Street's doing poor?
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think that's good at all. I think
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: there's a serious issue with what they call affordability and
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: the amount of taxes, people's money that's taken from them,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: the inflation that has taken place, the energy costs that
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: are out there. I don't think there's anything good about
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: that at all, and we're making life difficult. much more
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: difficult for our younger generation to achieve the American dream. So, no,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything good about that at all.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: I prefer him to get back and focus on that.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: I want him to go back and focus on that.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: I believe in America first. I do not believe in
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: foreign aid. I do not care if these other countries
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: that you express, well, I don't know that you're expressing
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: concern in that sense. I want them to hold countries
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: accountable if they say they're supposed to give this much
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: to NATO. Stop crapping on the United States of America,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: having us carry all the burden. You want to be
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: a part of it, you contribute to it. And we'll
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: leave it there. I appreciate your call, and onward we go.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: You're on the air. Hello? Well, maybe you're not there.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 23: Hello?
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: I think that was Ted the Conspirator. I hung up on.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: Call back right now. Call back right now. You're on
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: the air. You're on the air.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 4: Hey, Ron. How are you?
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: Good, Mike.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 18: Hey, that guy, boy, what a tough listen.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 4: If he thinks, I mean, I'm not sure what I heard.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 4: But I think he said we could probably print our
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 4: way to prosperity, not directly like that, but indirectly. But
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 4: that doesn't matter.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 9: Is that what I heard?
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: No, he was saying that debt isn't always a bad thing,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: that in fact you had, that somebody's getting the interest
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: off the debt. It was a strange economic philosophy.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 18: Yeah, okay.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: They had a term for that in high school, which
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 4: I can't repeat. Well, I'm not going to even go
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 4: there then. It doesn't even make sense, his whole entire argument.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 18: You know, if.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 4: We're $ 80 trillion in debt, maybe prosperity will be twice
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 4: as much as it is now.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 18: His argument just did not make sense.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense to me either because you're strapping
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: future generations. You cannot have this large portion of your
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: tax dollars going to pay interest. It's ridiculous.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 4: The only way that we're going to have higher prosperity
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 4: is to have higher productivity.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 18: That's the only way. And that's what, you know, to have..
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: And cut spending.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: We're not into the Bitcoin stuff. Yeah, cut spending, absolutely.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 4: But higher productivity is going to lead to a higher
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 4: standard of living. And if we had, our dollar was
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 4: coupled with precious gold or silver, things that are worth something,
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 4: our government couldn't spend like this.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 22: Right.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 4: Any recourse. They've just pumped it all on to future generations,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: which is not fair to the future generations. They have
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 4: no voice in this debt. Now, I heard.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 18: Your opening monologue, and I remember a couple years ago, Ted,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 18: you know, he.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 4: Was really big on the, you know, calling people cult,
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 4: cultish and stuff like that.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 18: And it was the days that he was not a
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 18: He didn't think Donald Trump could win, quote-unquote. So he was,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 18: you know, using that manipulative language to try to change minds. Well,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 18: you know, I've.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 4: Listened to Ted kind of evolve on Trump. And, you know,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 4: recently he's talked about just trust in Trump. I trust Trump, right?
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 9: Well, you know what?
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 4: I never did. He was the best choice.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: Of a very..
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 4: A weak group that he was running against. And as
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: of today, right now, and I told you this when
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 4: he went after Massey, I wish he had gone after
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 4: the Democrats or the people that were actually barriers to
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 4: prosperity in this country. If he had gone.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 18: After those people as hard as he did, promised Massey,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 18: maybe we wouldn't be.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 4: Talking about the Save America Act being... stalled in the
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: Senate right now. Maybe we'd be thrilled that it was passed.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 18: So I just, you.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: Know, when Ted talks like that, I hear that and
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 4: I go like.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 18: Man, did you forget where you were?
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: The point that I was making, and I remember that.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: I was just trying to get the time frame on it.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: Ted's call at that time, I can remember it. He
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: was merely talking. He was saying it's okay to disagree
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: with Trump and view things differently. He was merely saying
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: to me, I remember that call, that there is a cult,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: that there is a cult that no matter what Trump does,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: you can't disagree with him. And he was saying that
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: that bothered him, that type of mentality. That was the call.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: I don't think. No, no, no, no, no. There's no way.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: Ted's a pretty smart guy. Here's what Ted says. Ted,
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: in essence, says. It's okay for people to disagree with
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: the war. It's okay for people to agree with the war.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: He might view it as something worthwhile to do. I
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: would have to ask him the specifics of it. But
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: he says, let's give it some time. And I do
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: agree with one thing. These people obviously know more than
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: we do about what's going on. So they get a
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: little bit of the benefit of the doubt, but not
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: all of it. I think they've also made some, in
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: my opinion, some poor decisions. I go back to say, I.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 4: Would agree with that a hundred percent, Ron. I don't
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 4: think we're on the right track. And I think, you know,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 4: probably going back a month or five weeks, whenever this started,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 4: there were very few voices that were saying, Hey, Trump's
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: going down the wrong path here. And Ted was not
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 4: one of them. Rich was not one of them. I know,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 4: I know Frank was, was one of the voices, but.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: You know who else was in opposition to the war?
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: This might surprise everybody. G2 was not in favor of this.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 22: No, no.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 4: I know he was not. I think you were in
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 4: favor of it, but I think you were listening. And
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 4: I've seen.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 18: Your, you know, over the last, you know, five weeks.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 4: Four weeks, I've heard, I've seen, because.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 18: I listen as much as anybody, Ron.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 4: Okay. I got to tell you, your show, it's great.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 4: If it wasn't, I wouldn't listen. But I've seen you...
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 4: Your monologues have evolved. Your discussion with the callers has changed.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 4: And I think it's... I don't want to sound arrogant
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 4: or anything like that. I think it's in a good...
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 4: Going in a good direction. Not that I would be
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 4: the judge of that, but I think in the end...
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 4: we can't be at war and have... We can have
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 4: artificial prosperity. You know, a war economy is artificial. Eventually,
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 4: that bill's going to be... That bill, that check's going
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 4: to come due, and, you know, we're at the end here,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 4: you and I.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 18: I don't want to see our kids.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: All this dumped on our kids, and that's why I
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 4: get so... I guess upset about... you know, the direction
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: that we're going. You know, if you think you're going
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 4: to fix this country by throwing people like Thomas Massey
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 4: out of office, you have no idea what this country
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 4: is about. That's where I'm at.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: I totally agree with that entire statement. Thank you, Mike.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 18: Have a safe weekend.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: You too.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: News, weather, and talk station, 570 WKBN.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: 4.55 on a Friday, May 22nd, 63 degrees. Ron Verb
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: from the Kingdom of Mahoning, you're on the air.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: Ronald.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: Ted the Conservative.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 9: Hey, I've heard my name a few times, so I
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 9: figured I'd give a call.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: Did I enunciate or give the correct scenario about when
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: you were talking, this goes back a while, about cults?
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 24: Yes, yes.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 9: And that doesn't mean I don't support him, but you know,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 9: many things could be true at the same time. I
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 9: do believe his, you know, we let's go back 10 years.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 9: I would, you know, I remember when G2 and I
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 9: would have strong disagreements because, uh, I didn't agree with
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 9: everything that Trump said. Um, and I still don't, I
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 9: told you, I've learned how to internally process that stuff
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 9: and filter out all the garbage. And, um, In full transparency,
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 9: I think his second presidency, his second term, has been
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 9: a failure so far.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: And I don't think.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 9: He's doing the things that we elected him to do.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 9: I think he's made this more of a retribution tour.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 9: I don't like the slush fund. Like, I strongly disagree with...
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 9: people that have said it's okay for him to do
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 9: what he's doing with the Department of Justice. I mean,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 9: let's be honest. Like you said yesterday, if Joe Biden
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 9: brought his personal attorney in and did this stuff, we'd
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 9: be losing our minds. If you want to protect your family,
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 9: there's a way to do it. So don't circumvent it.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 9: Just be a man, put your big boy panties on,
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 9: and issue pardons for all your family members and your
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 9: businesses for crimes that may have you know, been committed,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 9: knowingly or unknowingly, for the last 25 years.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 19: Do what Biden did.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 9: But don't, you know, this slush fund is just a horrible,
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 9: horrible thing. And I think that's why you're seeing the
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 9: backlash from the Republicans, because now we're in a fight
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 9: for our life in these primaries, and he keeps giving
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 9: the opposition fuel to put on the fire.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 18: You know?
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 9: He's lost focus, I think, of the primaries because every
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 9: decision he's made is going against us and making that
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 9: hill that we're trying to climb steeper and steeper. But
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 9: you gave a good analogy of my beliefs on Trump.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 8: You know, I..
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 9: You know where I stand. We've been talking about him
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 9: for a long time. Doesn't mean I don't support him.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: You know? But you were the first guy, and I remember,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: oddly enough, I remember this call. And we had a
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: disagreement that day. I can remember it specifically. You're the
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: first guy who said to me, Ron, there are people
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: that are, there is a Trump cult. There are people
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: that if you don't adhere to everything he adheres to,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: then you're bad news, even though you're a Republican or
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: you disagree. There is that fraction of of the Trump supporters.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: And I think you and I argued about it that day.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: And you are 100% correct about that. Stand by. Stand by.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: Back with Ted the Conservative in a minute. Ron Furman,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570, WKBN. Stay close.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 11: From ABC News, I'm Mike Dabusky. Following her husband's recent
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 11: diagnosis with bone cancer, Tulsi Gabbard now says she's stepping
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 11: down as director of national intelligence.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 25: In recent months, Gabbard and the Trump administration appeared out
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 25: of sync, sending mixed messages ahead of the war with Iran.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 25: Gabbard is now the fourth cabinet member to leave the
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 25: administration in three months. All have been women. Her last
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 25: day will be the end of June.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 11: ABC's Christiane Cordero in Washington. The Department of Justice is
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 11: now vowing to appeal a judge's decision to dismiss its
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 11: case against Kilmar Abrego-Garcia. The Justice Department had charged him
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 11: with human smuggling, but now a judge says that case
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 11: was an example of vindictive prosecution. Abrego-Garcia was the man
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 11: who was improperly deported to El Salvador last year. The
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 11: DOJ also facing a second federal lawsuit now against its
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 11: proposed anti-weaponization fund. ABC's Peter Haralambous has that story.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 26: The Department of Justice's attempt to launch an anti-weaponization fund
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 26: has sparked accusations of self-dealing and a bipartisan uproar over
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 26: the possible use of taxpayer money to pay rioters who
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 26: attacked the Capitol on January 6th. In a new lawsuit
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 26: filed Friday, a coalition of nonprofits alleged the fund bypassed
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 26: Congress's authority over federal spending. and violated the 14th Amendment.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 11: NASCAR fans are remembering the life of Kyle Busch, who
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 11: died suddenly yesterday at the age of 41. 911 tapes
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 11: reveal he was coughing up blood before being hospitalized. ABC's
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 11: Alex Stone says he had been scheduled to race this weekend.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 27: At the Coca-Cola 600, the cars have stickers honoring Busch.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 5: Many of them will over the weekend.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 27: The Indy 500, they're going to be honoring him. He
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 27: won the Brickyard 400 in 2015 and 2016, but there
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 27: are going to be remembrances on and off the track
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 27: over the weekend.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: It's going to be quite visible. This is a big
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: deal in the world of NASCAR.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 27: As one NASCAR racer said today, this was their Kobe
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 27: Bryant who died, that he was a giant figure.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 11: You're listening to ABC News.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 9: No, no, I don't think so. I don't, I don't,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 9: I wouldn't classify it as a failure, but I think
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 9: the only.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 22: Thing we've done is suspend the Democrat. Does that, how
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 22: do I even say this? We've stopped the Democrats in
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 22: their tracks from making things any worse than they would have,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 22: you know, meaning if Kamala was elected, because we're really
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 22: not seeing some of the legislative things that we had
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 22: hoped for in a big, problem, I think, is because
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 22: of Congress. But that's where leadership comes in, and Trump
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 22: should be leading a little better, I think, when it
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 22: comes to those things. But in the end, I'm not
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 22: sure what we're going to get.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 9: Out of this guy for another year or, what, two
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 9: years or so. Other than that, we've put the brakes
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 9: on all those liberal Democrat policies. I still support him.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 9: I still think he has, in the back of his mind,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 9: he does want the best for the country. I think
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 9: he's been distracted by some who have influenced his decision-making.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 9: I think he's still a narcissistic, petty person, the way
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 9: he's gone after Massey and MTG and all.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 8: Those other folks.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 9: And, yes, you can say she quit, and you can
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 9: say whatever you.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 8: Want about Massey.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 9: I have no opinion on Massey, whether he should have won,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 9: whether he shouldn't have won. I don't like what happened. But,
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 9: you know, all those little things, they're leading up, you know,
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 9: just more smoke on the fire. just more smoke on
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 9: the fire that we don't need. And I don't like
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 9: the way he involves himself so much in the primary
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 9: elections because he doesn't have a good track record when
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 9: it comes to general elections. My biggest concern now is
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 9: in Texas. You know, we can leave that seat. Paxson
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 9: carries a lot of baggage. And yes, Cronin, you know,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 9: G2 doesn't like him. He said some things about him.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 9: But we're at the point now where it's wins and
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 9: losses again. It's It's keeping the others out of office.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 9: You know, we're back to that point where we're trying
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 9: to win elections because, honestly, Republicans are horrible at governing.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: They don't get anything done.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 9: They talk a lot. They tell us how great they're
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 9: going to make things. But they don't get a lot done. And, again,
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 9: I'm still going to vote for him. I'm not going
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 9: to vote for a Democrat. I'm going to support Trump
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 9: and keep supporting him. I've learned to deal with all
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 9: the stupid stuff he does that upsets so many of us.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 9: I still think he... He could come out on top,
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 9: but every day that we don't take a step in
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 9: the right direction, we're making that hill to climb steeper
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 9: and steeper. So I worry about that. But I agree
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 9: with you on everything you said. We need to hold
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 9: him to the same standard we held Bill Biden. And
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 9: I don't agree with that slush fund thing. It's just
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 9: a disaster.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 22: But who knows?
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 9: We'll see where it all ends up.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 6: But you know what?
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 9: I wanted to share with you something else. This is
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 9: one of the reasons I called you. Two things I
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 9: want to share with you. Can I do that before
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 9: you kick me off?
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 9: Okay. You like to eat at the fireplace restaurant, right?
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 9: You're a fan. So mark your calendar for Thursday, June 5th.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 9: When you get off the radio, you've got to go
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 9: to the fireplace. And all of your listeners have an
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 9: opportunity to go to the fireplace and meet Christine Oliver.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 9: She's holding a fundraiser there that night. And I think
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 9: we need not forget about our local policy. And we
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 9: need to really start focusing on the local issues and
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 9: the local races because those things affect us, too, much
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 9: more in a bigger way than things at the national level.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 9: It all runs, you know, the water runs up, as
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 9: you say, or runs down, you could say, however you
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 9: want to say it. But everything starts at the local,
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 9: whether it's our school boards, our city council's, our county commissioners,
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 9: our local judges, you know, those are the things that
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 9: affect us. And I think this county commissioners race is huge.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: I would agree. I certainly hope she would win over McNally. Now,
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: I can't make that because how am I supposed to
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: make out with my wife at a political fundraiser? You know,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: when I go out to dinner, you know, I'm trying to,
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm trying to..
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 8: Don't drink the margarita.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 9: Hey, I'm going to betterize you. Get the margarita to go.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 9: You know, I'm dead serious. There was a lot of
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 9: back and forth within the party in the primaries, whether
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 9: it was the commissioner or the judge. There was a
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 9: lot of close judge races. But I think the party
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 9: really needs to come together now and support the candidates
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 9: that won. And that's critical.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: Well, like I say, Christine Oliver ran a really good campaign,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: and I think she's championed the issues that are important
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: when it comes to property taxes. I mean, I think
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: she was front and center on those two issues, and
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: so she champions those. She said that she will do
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: so if she's elected. So, uh, and, and ran a
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: really good campaign. As I said, if I looked at it,
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: you know, I really thought it was, was a campaign
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: for commissioner between really, uh, her and Bruce Shepis. I
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: didn't think that drag is really was much of a contender.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: Just didn't think he would, he would be a factor
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: in it. And I think, I think it would have been, uh,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: perhaps closer. I just think Bruce should have embraced those
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: two issues, uh, And I don't know why he didn't.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: I think he should have. But I'm not saying he
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: should embrace something if he doesn't believe in it. Don't
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: misunderstand me. I'm just saying I think he should have
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: probably reviewed that and supported those issues for the sake
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: of the taxpayer. And Champion said, listen, if I'm elected,
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to make sure that these things come about
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: and champion those issues if he sincerely believed in it.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: By not doing that, I think it hurt his campaign.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: Because I sit back. I live in Austintown. I don't
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: think that we have any major issues as far as
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: how the township is being run. I think that as
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: a township, things seem to be going quite well as
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: far as the community is concerned at this point. So
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: I can't fault him for his job at this point
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: as trustee or the rest of them. I mean, it
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: seems like everything's going pretty well. But if you do
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: like the deep dive into campaigns, I would say that
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: was probably not the best. I think that was a
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: big mistake. But you shouldn't embrace something unless you sincerely believe.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: in it either. I mean, if you don't believe in it,
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: then you've got to stand up for what you believe in, too.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: And maybe you didn't believe in it.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 9: And it's okay for people to disagree.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 9: I had a lot of people come at me because
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 9: of my support for Christine. And maybe they didn't like
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 9: the things I said about the other candidates.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: But don't get me wrong.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 9: I respect anyone that throws their hat in that public
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 9: circus and does what they do to get elected for
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 9: whatever reason, whatever motivation. And we all have an opinion.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 9: And just because I have an opinion that's different from
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 9: yours is does it mean that I think your right
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 9: to your opinion is any less than mine?
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: It did. Really? What about those Obama years? I just
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: leave you with that.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I tried. I tried.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 9: I think if you can go back and do it again,
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 9: you'd hold your nose. And push the button for Mitch Romney.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: God, I can't stand the guy. All right.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 4: One more thing.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 9: I've got to share this with you.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 9: And we'll get to top politics later. You know, everyone's
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 9: talking about inflation.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 9: And the cost, the burden that we're carrying today. And
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 9: people are very, very short-memored.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: Wait a second. When you say that, my buddy sent
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: me this this morning. Let me give you the time.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: I forget what. Let's see. Gallons. 19 gallons. 19 gallons.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 28: $ 89. 45. Just a snapshot of the pump is what he said.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 28: Absolutely insane. Just the truck. It was at half a tank.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 28: Half a tank and his truck was $ 90.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 9: You know, let's not forget that CPI is up. Core
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 9: inflation isn't back right now. The CPI is up because
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 9: of volatility in the, what do you call it, Strait
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 9: of America. And, you know, we've got to hope that
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 9: that gets taken care of. But something else I just witnessed.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 9: I've got to tell you. I've got to share this
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 9: with your listeners. So I had to run out to
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 9: Mineral Ridge to go see him. So there's a butcher
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 9: out there, Berdirk Butcher. It's the only place I buy meat.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 8: Great, great.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 9: Yep, great people, great meat, great, just great. Can't say
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 9: enough about him. Take a ride out.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 8: There one day.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: You won't be disappointed.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: Where's that at?
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 9: It's in Mineral Ridge. As you're driving through Mineral Ridge,
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 9: it's a dirt torture. It's not hard to miss. What
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 9: is that, 46 that cuts right through there?
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you can't miss it. I'm telling you.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: Great, great guy.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: Is it after the ice cream store or what?
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 9: I don't pay attention to the ice cream store, so
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 9: I'm not sure where the.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: Ice cream is.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: It's across the street.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 23: Go ahead.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: It's like a park.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 9: There's an empty park out there.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 9: And it's almost right across. There's like a gazebo there
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 9: across the street, I think. So it's in that vicinity.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, so it's by the school, maybe, Minette? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 9: Down a little bit from the school.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 7: Yep, exactly.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: All right. And there's a post office pub and all
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: that stuff. Yes, yes, yes.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 9: And it's on the same side as a post office pub.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 9: I'm telling you, whatever you want, whatever you like, they
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 9: got it. And it's just all great. And the guy
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 9: who owns it is even a better person than the
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 9: stuff he sells.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 20: No, I know.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: My son says the post office pub has really, really
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: good food there. You should probably stop sometime.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 9: Why is it you know all the ice cream places
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 9: and your son knows the food places? And you know
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 9: the margarita place.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: Because he's whining and dining his girl more than I am.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 9: Okay, so listen to this. You may be running out
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 9: of time. I got to tell you. So I leave
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 9: the butcher. I'm heading home to Columbiana.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: I want to run into Walmart.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 9: In Ossetown real quick for a few items.
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: I got like five items.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 9: I don't want to see the..
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, I want to hear this. So check out.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 9: I'm watching this woman, okay?
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 19: Not..
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 9: But like two stations in front of me. I'm watching
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 9: her scan every other item... and putting the one she
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 9: doesn't scan in her bag. And I'm watching her fill
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 9: her pockets with candy that she's not scanning. And there's
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 9: employees everywhere watching her. And she's looking to see if
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 9: anyone's watching her. I mean, that's how blatant it was.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: So you're there, and she would scan an item, and
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: then she would skip one or act like she was
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: scanning the other one.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 9: And I'm thinking half her cart was like that. And
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 9: I was, you know, I was back a little bit ways,
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 9: but I could see it clear as day. And I
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 9: was maybe 20 yards, 25 yards away. And there's Walmart
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 9: employees all over the place, you know, watching people do this.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 9: And they just let her go out and do what
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 9: she was doing. So then I go to check out
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 9: and I've got cash. I'm paying with cash. I don't
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 9: have change. I just put the bills in and it
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 9: sticks out.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: So you were paying with the Petrodollar?
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 7: That's okay.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 9: They wouldn't take Bitcoin, so I was using the petrodollar.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 9: So then this thing spits out coins, and I realized, now,
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 9: I know young kids today can't do math. When you
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 9: go give someone cash, they have a hard time counting
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 9: the change back. Well, this machine spits back more change
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 9: than I'm due. By like a nickel. And I'm thinking
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 9: by a penny, rather, or whatever. And I'm thinking to myself,
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 9: so there's a shortage in pennies. So I put two
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 9: and two together. So in other words, they're not giving
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 9: you pennies back. They're just rounding up and giving you
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 9: the coin.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 9: So how much money are we losing? How much money
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 9: are these businesses losing like Walmart by doing that? Right.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 9: By just rounding up change, not doing it properly, and
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 9: then allowing people to steal it. So you and I
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 9: probably just paid for that woman's grocery business.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: And you would think, like, they have cameras everywhere anymore.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 28: Everywhere.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: And I mean everywhere watching everything. And it's part of
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: the problem with self-checkouts, although I become much better with
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: them because, like, if I want to go in, here's
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: my M.O., Ted the Conservative. All right, I'm going to
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: give you my M.O. Are you ready for this?
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 8: Yes, sir.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: I got a game plan, and this is usually what
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: I do. I go to, you know, Meijer right there
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: in Austintown. I go in and I buy unsweetened iced tea.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: That's already made. All right. It drives my wife crazy.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, because I just don't want to. So,
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: and I, and I, and I drink it. Remember Ted,
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: I gave up drinking pop. Okay. So I totally gave
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: it up. All right. So I gave up that. So
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: I buy a gallon of pre-made unsweetened tea at Meyer.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: It's it's, it's made by it's Milo. It's called Milo's.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: On sweet tea, it costs $ 4 for a gallon of it.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, it just went up to
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: $ 4. 20 a gallon. I just noticed that the last time
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: I was home, it went up 20 cents. And it's
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: really good. You know why it's good? Because you know
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: what the ingredients are? Filtered water and tea. There's nothing
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: else in it.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 4: That's good.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: All right. So it's pure. To me, it's pure. It
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: tastes good. I ain't going to mess with making it.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: And it's a gallon. It lasts a long time, and
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: it cost me $ 4. And I know right where it is, Ted.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: I go right in the door. If you go in
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: the door, you go walk straight to the back wall.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: You follow me? You got it down.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 14: Yes, I do.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: With the orange juices and all that kind of stuff,
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: I walk right in. I pull it open. I grab it.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: And then sometimes I get bananas for my cereal. So
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: then I go over. I grab the bananas. And then
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: I go to the self-checkout. I feared the self-checkout for
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of years. And then I always look when
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: I go to the self-checkout to see if the cashier
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: line is moving and there's not many people in it.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 28: Mm-hmm.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: I've never had to do the self-checkout because I look
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: over and it's like, hey, I can go right over
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: to the cashier and get right out. But when I
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: go with my wife, she does like you can do
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: kind of like a scan thing. Yes, yes. She'll do that. And, uh,
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: cause you get, you get, you get those coupons in
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: the mail. We get them where if you spend 30 bucks,
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: you get 10 off and that kind of stuff. So,
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: so if she has a couple of them because of
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: friends and family, uh, like she'll say, okay, I'll, I'll
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: scan this on my phone. And then, uh, you hold
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: your phone up to the thing, self-checkout and then it,
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: then it shows it. Then she does a coupon and
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: then whatever, $ 35 becomes 25. And then she'll take the
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: other stuff and then scan that, you know, check out
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: one time, and then she'll scan the other stuff in
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: her cart. And let's say that's $ 35 and use another coupon.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: How about that, huh?
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 9: How about that?
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 23: Right.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 18: How about that?
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she is really good at the self-checkout. I do
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: not fear the self-checkout anymore. I've done it at Home Depot.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: I've done it at Meijer. But I prefer to go,
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: you know, if the checkout is open, I prefer to
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: go through there with my iced tea and bananas, Ted.
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 9: But what about the milkshakes? Are you still drinking the
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 9: milkshakes even though.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: You gave up the pop?
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 28: No.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: Not very much, but it's like..
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 9: I know that was a weakness of yours.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: It's right here. Where's my thing? Here's my Yeti. And
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of times I'll bring a gallon of that...
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: Milo on sweet tea right here to the station. Put
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: it in the refrigerator.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 14: All right, Ted.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, have a great weekend, my friend.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 2: Good weekend.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: All right. Back with more in a minute.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 5: Com 570 WKBN.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: And so, Ron Furb, you're on the air.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 14: Hello.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 9: And they moved.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 6: They both moved to Texas.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: Who moved to Texas? Who moved to Texas?
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 22: Hey.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 4: Hello. Yeah.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: Who moved to Texas?
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 29: Well, I..
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 6: I was talking to my wife. So that's personal conversation, Ronnie.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, you were talking to your wife. Wow. Aren't
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: you romantic?
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 6: Hey, once a week she lets me talk to her.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 6: And now you're interrupting me. This ain't going to go
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 6: well on divorce court.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, geez, I'm sorry I did such a thing.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 6: That new judge in Mahoning County will probably treat me right, though, right?
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 6: Newly elected.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: Well, not yet. Not yet. But don't you worry. You've
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: got to work it out. Cheaper to keeper.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 6: Oh, she's a keeper, for sure. Hey, let's see. Oh,
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 6: to paraphrase Mike, like me and you, Ronnie, we're not
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 6: going to be around for a while. You know, too long.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 6: But I'm worried about my kids also.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 4: You?
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: Well, now I'm feeling like I should just probably jump
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: off the closest bridge after that.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 6: Hey, I'll pick out the highest one, Ronnie. Just let
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 6: me know. I got Google. I got Google Maps. I
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 6: can find it.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: All right. I can hardly wait.
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 6: Hey, so Ted thinks Trump, his second term is a failure.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: So far, yeah.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 6: He's wanting to shut down the border. Drill, baby, drill.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: What else?
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's got so many accomplishments. more than any
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 6: other president that I can remember in my life, I
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 6: know all human beings have faults. You know, even me, Ron,
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 6: I know it's hard to imagine, but I have my faults.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 6: I won't disclose them on the radio. I think Trump,
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 6: his second term is way better because he understands the
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 6: machine that's against him. It just like, uh, what was
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 6: the newly coined term? Butthead called in earlier. Remember, I
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 6: think you made some really great points.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 6: Like, I mean, what about the Democrats? Why, why did
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 6: they shut down Doge? Why did they want to stop
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 6: the investigation into all the corruption that That's happening in
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 6: our country. Billions and billions of dollars. Can you answer that?
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because they're benefiting from the fraud.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 20: Right.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 6: I believe there's bad Republicans, too, but... Yeah, well, I mean,
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 6: even like what they did to Elon Musk with his dealerships.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 6: They're like the evil people. You can look up on
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 6: YouTube and see all these people saying, yeah, he killed Trump,
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 6: you know... kill this, kill that. And when was the
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 6: last time a Republican was caught trying to assassinate somebody?
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 6: It just, I don't know, it's just like that.
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: I hear you. I hear you.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 6: Hey, but one of your earlier callers said that he
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 6: doesn't think a businessman should be in charge of the government. Well,
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 6: Trump Like back in the 80s, he got a ice
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 6: rink that the government tried to get done for like,
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 6: I don't know, two, three years. And he got it
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 6: done in six months. He got it built and done
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 6: because a businessman wants to get the job done, get paid,
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 6: and move on to the next thing so he can
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 6: make more money. It's just that thought process.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: Stand by, stand by, stand by. It's the unknown caller
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: trying to make sense of it all and talking to
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: his wife at the same time. I'll be back. All right,
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: unknown caller, go ahead with whatever point you were trying
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: to make.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 2: Well, this is a test.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 6: You're two months younger than me. What were we talking about, Ronnie?
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: I can't remember.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: I was focused so much on you talking to your wife.
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 18: I know.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 6: Hey, by the way, she's looking for me, so at
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 6: some point I'm going to have to go. But, hey,
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 6: how about them Cavs? That first game, I was nervous.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 6: They were like 22 points ahead with seven minutes left,
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 6: and they still lost.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 6: And I was nervous for a reason. But they lost
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 6: the first two in the last series, I believe.
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: In the current one, yeah.
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 6: Okay, hey, one more thing. Obamacare. Remember, one of your
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 6: previous callers was talking about the fact that why are
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 6: we giving this money to Medicaid, or why is he
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 6: cutting it off to Medicaid? But remember, they used to
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 6: call it Obamacare, Obamacare, everything Obamacare. Ooh, Obamacare.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 2: Obama's great.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 6: And then Obamacare turned out to be, like, not so good.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 6: So now they call it the original name. The Affordable
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 6: Care Act. I mean, that's just the bias. What do
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 6: you call it? No spin news guy. It's just the
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 6: spin that the mainstream media puts on everything. All right, hey, Ronnie, Ronnie,
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 6: here comes my wife.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 30: I got to go.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: He's always got to go. G2, hello.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 2: Good evening, Ron.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 4: How are you?
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: You sound almost saddened by your introduction.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: No, just working through something here. It'll be done in
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 2: a second.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: You're not talking to your wife, too, like the last
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: caller was.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: No, I'm in the clear. I'm in a subset of
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: the bunker.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: Right, where you don't have to worry about anything. What's
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: your reaction, Tulsi Gabbard resigning as Trump's intelligence chief? I
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: was saddened by it, by the reason. too, but just sadness,
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: see her go.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 2: Well, obviously, I mean, it's sad to hear that her
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: husband has this problem, and it's, you know, no small thing.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 2: So that's tragic, and I'm sorry to hear it as well.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 2: But on the other side of losing her as ODNI,
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 2: as DNI, that's tragic for the country, because she is
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 2: one of the very few people in this administration who
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 2: clearly was America first, and who was somewhat fearless. She
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 2: didn't yield easily to the power brokers. And we saw
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: that all the way back when she was in Congress
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: as a Democrat and was challenging them on the narrative
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 2: around Syria. And they, of course, you know, she wasn't
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: allowed to challenge the narrative on Syria. That was off limits.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 2: She did anyway. And you may remember she went over
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 2: and saw Bashar al-Assad and And the establishment freaked out
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 2: because they were hoping to go to war against him
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 2: and spend a lot of lives and money. So she
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 2: was brave. She was clearly on target. She refused to lie.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it was maybe a month or two
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 2: ago that Laura Loomer raced to the White House to
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 2: tell Trump to fire her. And the basis of that
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 2: was that she wasn't willing to come out and say
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 2: that there was a nuclear threat in Iran. I think
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 2: that's really why... This happened because, if you remember, they
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 2: changed the narrative. It was all about this threat. We
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 2: were all going to die in an Iranian nuclear attack.
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: And Gabbard would never come out and say that.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: If you had to read the tea leaves, if I
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: had to get you to speculate, do you think Chelsea
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: Gabbard believes what Trump is pitching?
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 2: Well, it depends on what it is. I mean, I've
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 2: heard some of the conversation over the last couple of hours.
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 2: And Look, Trump has achieved more than any other president
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 2: in our lifetime. What he did before the Iran war
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 2: on inflation was absolutely unbelievable, driving inflation down from these
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 2: very high numbers down to about a 0.7. There are
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 2: a couple problems with that. One is that people think
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: lower inflation means prices go down.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 20: It doesn't.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 2: Of course, some prices go down, and gasoline went down.
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 2: Eggs went down. A bunch of things went down. But
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 2: on average... prices continue to climb because the Congress won't
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 2: stop printing money. So what he achieved on inflation was remarkable. Now,
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 2: the other problem is, of course, he gave it all
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 2: back when he launched the war, and fuel prices went up,
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 2: and people looked at that and said, oh, you know,
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: I'm back to $ 4.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 4: 50 or $ 4, $ 4.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 2: 50, maybe in some places $ 5 or $ 6 gasoline. So
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 2: it's just really unfortunate that, that this gas and this
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: oil industry disruption has happened that's caused us to have
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 2: these high prices. I know we had a call the
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 2: other night that said that it wasn't the war in
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 2: Iran that did this. I'm not sure exactly how they
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 2: got there, but that's just... This is what it was.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 2: It was disrupting the 21 million barrels a day that
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: flow through the Strait of Hormuz. Of course, some of
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 2: those have since come back online through pipelines and whatnot.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 2: But that's what caused the price to go up. Everybody
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: knows it. And because there was no effort to sell
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 2: this war as... being in America's interests, people didn't really
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 2: know what to think until they changed the story later
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 2: and said, oh, no, no, this is all about the
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: United States and a nuclear war threat. So it has
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 2: been messy. But coming back to point, Trump has been
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 2: the most successful, effective president in modern-day times. In the
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 2: last six presidents, no one's come anywhere close to him.
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 2: What he's done in foreign affairs, I'm setting aside the
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 2: Iran war. That's a special thing to talk about. What
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 2: he's done in foreign affairs is remarkable. What he's done
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 2: in the economy is remarkable. Now, I am not a
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 2: fan of this explosion of data centers, so I'm setting
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 2: that investment aside. But the investment in industry that created
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 2: high-value jobs for Joe Mainstreet, the reversal of four decades
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 2: of inflation rising faster than wages, therefore the middle class
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 2: being squeezed, he's just done miraculous things. The problem is,
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 2: and we're seeing this in spades now, the forces he
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 2: is up against, these forces trying to impoverish the American
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 2: people and even tear the country apart, are incredibly powerful.
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 2: He's contending with extraordinarily dangerous people. He's contending with people
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 2: that have stakes that run to the trillions. And they
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 2: will do anything to maintain power and money.
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 4: Anything.
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, we saw this guy, this gallery that ran
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 2: against Matthew come out and say that Matthew voted against
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 2: the Save America Act, which is just a lie. He
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 2: knew it. Said it anyway.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 4: So..
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure some people believe it.
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 4: So..
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 2: So what Trump is facing is a battle, an epic battle,
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 2: at a level that no one else has ever faced.
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 2: None of the other presidents have faced it because they
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 2: didn't stand up to these guys. Now, remember the first
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 2: term when Donald Jr. went into a room one day
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: for 40 hours of deposition. It wasn't one day, it
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 2: was five days. He went day after day after day,
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 2: hour after hour, to be deposed, not because he'd done
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 2: something wrong or because they even had a crime to... Investigate.
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 2: They were just trying to get him to slip up.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 2: What's really remarkable, he came out of that without a problem.
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 2: They got nothing on him.
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 17: It's remarkable.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: There aren't really very many people who can make it
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 2: through a 40-hour deposition with attorneys and these incredibly well-paid
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 2: people who have massive motivation to destroy you and walk
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 2: away without a bruise. It was something else. Now, what
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 2: else would they be willing to do to those kids? Anything.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, you've seen him go after Trump several times
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 2: trying to kill him. Some people think these are hoaxes.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 2: Some people think they're not. You know, I've got to
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 2: tell you, when you have a sniper on a roof
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 2: shooting people in a crowd, it's pretty hard to take
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 2: that as a hoax. But this guy is fighting fights
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 2: that have never been fought on our behalf, that aren't
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 2: being fought in Europe much. They've fought in Hungary for
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 2: a little bit. It remains to be seen if they've
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 2: won or lost. and any study these powers let me
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 2: just think about helping human services you taking on albert
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 2: borla the head of fighter this man was comfortable putting
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 2: out an injection for six-month old children knowing that it
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 2: was going to kill a bunch of knowing that none
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 2: of the needed it that's the level of darkness that
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 2: we're talking about here but these people are and of
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 2: course How do we know we knew that? Well, because,
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 2: you know, we looked at the statistics and we read
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of the research and we heard the comments
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 2: made by the experts and, yeah, they knew. And we
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 2: all knew that there wasn't any kid that needed it.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 2: Their risk from that silly COVID was minimal if there
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 2: was any risk at all. These people are so motivated
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 2: that they've taken that whole inside square of the grocery
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 2: store and made it effectively poison with dyes and chemicals
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 2: and And, you know, high fructose corn syrup, run around
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 2: telling us how natural it is, how.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 6: Great it is.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 2: They have created a food supply that is harming the populace.
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 2: By all accounts. And they don't care. Because they have
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 2: trillions of dollars in that industry flowing into pockets every day.
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 28: Right?
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's taken on this whole community of people
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 2: that take grants for research just to produce the research products.
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 2: that the grant offer, whoever offered the grant, whether it
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 2: be NOAA or whoever it is, they already tell you
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 2: what the conclusion is. Right at the grant it says
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 2: the climate's changing because of V8 engines. Got it. Those
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 2: people are making huge amounts of money. College professors making
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 2: $ 350, 000 a year teaching six hours a week. I mean,
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 2: there are massive financial interests that boil right down to
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 2: the people involved in these, I don't know what you'd
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 2: call them, crime syndicates? like our universities, that are just
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 2: motivated to keep this machine going. Why can't we get
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 2: off the $ 2 trillion deficits? Because Congress is corrupt and
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 2: there are millions of people sucking up that money. You
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 2: were talking earlier about how we see wealth increase. And
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 2: I think the caller, I think it was Mike, said
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 2: you can only increase wealth by growing productivity, which of
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 2: course is true. Productivity output. So what do you do
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 2: when you print more money? Well, you're taking the existing wealth,
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 2: cutting into the smaller bites, meaning a dollar is now
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 2: worth 90 cents, 80 cents, 50 cents. So you're cutting
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 2: the smaller bites and passing it out to different people.
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 2: In other words, when they print money, the government's just
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 2: reaching into your savings, taking out money, and handing it
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 2: to their friends and family. That's a crime syndicate. It's
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 2: not a legitimate government. So Trump is taking on People
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 2: that have trillions of dollars of motivation, who are evil
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 2: and dark, who are willing to kill, and, you know,
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 2: who will destabilize nations to make profit. This is a battle,
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 2: an existential battle for survival. Now, the SAVE Act is
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 2: a perfect example. So John Thune and the traitors in,
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 2: you know, Corn and all the rest of the traitors
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 2: in the Senate and the traitors in the House, They
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 2: get together and concoct a strategy to make sure that
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 2: our election security law that has 80% popularity among all
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 2: likely voters, Democrats, Independents, and Republicans, they make sure that
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 2: they're going to look the voter in the eye and say,
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 2: you can't have it.
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 18: Why?
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 2: Well, we've got these arcane rules of the Senate. And, well, wait,
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 2: which of those are in the Constitution? None of them.
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 2: But you can't have it.
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 22: Why?
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 2: Because they're corrupt. Is there any legitimate reason for anyone, Democrat, independent,
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 2: or Republican, in the Senate or in the House, to
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 2: refuse to increase the security of our elections? The answer, obviously,
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 2: is no. That's a ridiculous question to ask. And yet
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 2: it must be asked because they refuse. Trump then endorses Paxton,
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 2: clearly the more popular candidate. Now, I say that because
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 2: there were three contenders in that Senate race. Paxton had
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 2: about 40% of the vote. Cornyn about 44%. Neither of
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 2: them got 50%, so there's a runoff. But the third-place contender,
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 2: whose name just gave me right now, but he's really well-known, Donaldson,
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 2: he was 13.5%. The odds of those votes going to
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 2: corner him are near zero. So Trump now knows that
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 2: Paxton's probably going to win the runoff. So then he
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 2: endorses him after he makes it pretty obvious. But that
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 2: so enrages the Senate that they shut down the Senate,
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 2: storm off. Bill Cassidy gets defeated, not by $ 30 million
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 2: from Israel. He gets defeated by voters who've had enough
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 2: of his nonsense. He gets taken off the board by
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 2: voters in an election, which is a remarkable thing given
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 2: the nature.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 4: Of our election.
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 1: Right, the old-fashioned way, not influenced by huge money coming
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: in from outside, yeah.
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 2: So they take this guy off the table because he's
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 2: a traitor, right? And they're starting to try to, the voters,
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 2: if they had the opportunity, would elect quality representatives who
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 2: would represent them effectively. but judge johnson closes the senate
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 2: says i'm going to get a pretend that i'm working
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 2: for you for the next month you voters pound salt
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 2: because we're gonna have a temper tantrum because donald trump
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 2: endorsed paxton we only want our boys in the senate
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 2: club in the club we run the country we do
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 2: what we want we are not bound to the voters
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 2: bound to agenda bound to a platform we're bound to
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 2: our own self-interest people are traitors So he shuts down
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 2: the Senate and walks off the field while this country
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 2: is facing multiple existential crises that he has created, in part,
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 2: not just him. Now, why do I say that? Well,
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 2: because John Goodman has been in the Senate for a
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 2: very long time. If he was a champion of secure elections,
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 2: we'd have secure elections. Him and his buddy McConnell.
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 22: So..
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 2: So that's the nature of the battle we're in. I
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 2: saw an image about a year ago of Trump sitting
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 2: at a table, and around him was just demons, just
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 2: these demonic-looking characters, obviously one of the finer uses of AI.
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what it's like. So now you've got a
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 2: guy that's in there that had this agenda. Now we
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 2: know full well how dedicated he was to the American agenda,
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 2: because in his first term, he fought like a demon
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 2: himself to execute it. He fought them all. And what'd
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 2: they do? COVID.
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 2: The injections. They did the election fraud in 2020, 81
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 2: million votes. Come on, nobody... Like, there are six people
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 2: remaining who believe that 81 million votes went to a
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 2: guy that didn't campaign. What'd they do? They executed a
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 2: coup using the Russia collusion hoax, the CIA.
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 6: The FBI, the..
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 2: John McCain, the Republican. They executed a coup attempt. They
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 2: raided his house. They made up a fake sex scandal
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 2: saying he raped some lunatic in a department store and
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 2: convicted him of like 34 counts of something, like business record...
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 2: Something or other. All nonsense. They tried to destroy his
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 2: companies by making it such that he couldn't get any
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 2: banks to bank him. And then they tried to destroy
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 2: his companies by putting a fine on him that would
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 2: require that he liquidate all of his assets to pay him.
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 2: I think of the magnitude of the attacks on this
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 2: guy simply because he was trying to act in the
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 2: interest of the American people. And now what are they
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 2: saying to him? Well, I don't know. I'd like to know.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 2: But I suspect that right now him and his family
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 2: are facing both the carrot and the stick. You can
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 2: make a bunch of money in Gaza there, Witkoff and Kushner.
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 2: You know, a lot of money made destroying Gaza. There'll
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 2: be a lot of money made building it back up.
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 2: You can make some money on Bitcoin and these tokens
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 2: or whatever you're doing there, Donnie, you know, the boys.
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe do a little deal in Kazakhstan. Now, that won't
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 2: be like Burisma. That'll be a deal where they actually
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 2: bring value. But nevertheless, you know, they now have a
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 2: private equity fund. The boys, you'll notice, have stayed out
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 2: of government and are working very hard making money. They're
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 2: going to make billions. And what's the alternative? I don't
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 2: know this, but I wonder if they don't point to
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 2: the guy in Florida and point to the guy at Butler.
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 2: Not this goofy guy.
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 9: In the.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 2: White House press center. I don't know what that was.
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 2: But they point to these guys and they point to
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 2: Kennedy and they point to others and they say, listen,
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 2: you can fight us And it'll be the last thing
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 2: you do.
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: Stand by. Back with G2 in a minute.
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 10: Com.
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 3: Youngstown's news, weather, and talk station. 570 WKBN.
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: With the Guardians pregame after the news break at 6.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 1: And first pitch a little bar on 630 with G2
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 1: in a short segment on NewsRadio 570 WKBN. So, with
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 1: a few minutes remaining, take it away.
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 2: So so but my point is that this guy you
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 2: know just think about it lock in the border that
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 2: seems like it's a simple thing it's what any government
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 2: do however they didn't they left it open they brought
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 2: in millions you know he stopped the flow of fentanyl
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 2: through that's go then through canada he went back and
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 2: fought against these countries on their tariffs that were designed
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 2: specifically to milk the united states uh... of its wealth
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 2: you know the guy has done tremendous things I don't
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 2: think you can look at something like the war in
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 2: Iran and say this was done because, you know, it
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 2: was in the best interest of the United States at
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 2: that time. You know, I'm more worried about certainly the
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 2: Democrats than I am about the mullahs in Iran. You
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 2: look at losing somebody like Tulsi Gabbard, that's a problem.
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 2: You know, it's quite possible that going into this war,
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 2: on the advice of Assad and maybe the CIA, too,
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know that's true. But he believed this would
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 2: be quite easy. You know, we're going to bomb them
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 2: a few thousand times, and, you know, they're going to capitulate. Well,
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 2: it's not true. And so now we're in this quagmire.
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 2: That's causing real problems, causing them to lose a lot
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 2: of support. Now, I don't know all the reasons why
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 2: Massey has been removed. We know some of them, but
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 2: not all of them. And the questions are huge. So
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 2: did Massey get removed just because he demanded that Epstein's
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 2: clients be revealed? No, I think that's a factor, just
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 2: because he demanded that AIPAC, or put forward law that
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 2: would require AIPAC and other foreign lobbyists to register as.
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 6: Foreign lobbyists, maybe.
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 2: I know they're citizens, okay, fine. Nobody's confused about what
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 2: AIPAC represents. It's lobbying for Israel. So was it that,
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 2: or was it the fact that he's fighting the protections
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 2: for Monsanto on... On Glyphosate, and is that tied somehow
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 2: to concerns that Pfizer has that maybe they lose their protections?
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 2: That'll get you $ 30 million. But think about this. A
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 2: hardcore Jew-hating, anti-Semitic guy just got elected to Congress in
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 2: Philadelphia in the primaries. His name is Rab. I just
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 2: heard about this guy today. Jamie Raskin campaigned for him,
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 2: and he's openly anti-Semitic.
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 1: We've got to pick it up in that spot next week.
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 1: Have a great weekend, G2. Appreciate it.
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 11: I'm Mike Dabusky. An explosion at a shipyard in Staten Island,
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 11: New York, has sent 16 people to the hospital. It
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 11: is unclear at this point what caused the blast. Tulsi
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 11: Gabbard will step down at the end of June as
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 11: Director of National Intelligence. In a statement, she says she'd
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 11: like to spend more time with her husband as he
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 11: deals with a bone cancer diagnosis. President Trump overseeing the
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 11: swearing-in of Kevin Warsh as the new Federal Reserve Chairman
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 11: this afternoon.
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 1: Thankfully, unlike some of his predecessors, Kevin understands that when
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 1: the economy is booming... That's a good thing. We don't
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 1: have to go crazy. Just let it boom.
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 4: We want it to boom.
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 11: Trump often clashed with the previous Fed chair, Jerome Powell,
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 11: over lowering interest rates.
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 1: A third federal.
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 11: Lawsuit was lodged today against the Department of Justice over
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 11: its $ 1. 8 billion anti-weaponization fund. ABC senior White House correspondent
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 11: Selena Wang.
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 16: This is a fund that would reward the president's allies.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 16: It could even compensate rioters who stormed the Capitol on
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 16: January 6th and attacked police officers. So some strong statements
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 16: coming from Republican members of Congress, including Senator Mitch McConnell.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 16: He said, quote, so the nation's top law enforcement official
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 16: is asking for a slush fund to pay people who
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 16: assault cops.
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 31: Utterly stupid, morally wrong.
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 17: Take your pick.
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 11: There are new details about the death of NASCAR champion
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 11: Kyle Busch.
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 27: Two weeks ago, he was heard on the radio, on
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 27: the racing radio, calling for a doctor during a race
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 27: in New York. And race announcer said it was a
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 27: sinus infection. But then at the GM training center this week,
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 27: he became ill. And just reading from the 911 call,
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 27: the caller is saying, I have an individual that shortness
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 27: of breath, very hot. He's about to pass out. He's
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 27: producing a little bit of blood. and coughing up some
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 27: of that blood. And the ambulance came at that point.
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 27: He went to the hospital, his family saying it was
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 27: a serious illness, and then he died.
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 11: ABC's Alex Stone, you're listening to ABC News.
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 14: Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the Bet365 Guardians warm-up show
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 14: tonight from Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. It's the Guardians
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 14: and the Philadelphia Phillies, game one of this three-game series.
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 14: Jim Rosenhouse along with you. Guardians looking to stay hot,
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 14: one of the hottest clubs in baseball as they've won
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 14: six in a row now. after sweeping the Detroit Tigers
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 14: in a four-game series. Now it's on to face the Phillies,
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 14: who are red hot. The Phillies, who began the year 9-19,
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 14: are back to the 500 mark. And while they are
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 14: 9-1⁄2 out in the NL East, they are certainly figuring
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 14: to be a team to contend with for the remainder
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 14: of the season. Guardians coming in in first place in
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 14: the AL Central, 3-1⁄2 up now on the second-place White Sox.
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 14: Stay tuned. We'll have more to come after this. Welcome
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 14: back to Guardian's Warm-Up. It's time for the weekly farm
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 14: report with Stephen Osterer, the Vice President of Player Development.
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 14: And we go to the lowest level of full-season baseball
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 14: in the Guardian's farm system, Carolina League. the Hill City
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 14: Howlers based out of Lynchburg, Virginia. And, Asti, I know
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 14: it's always a fun level because a lot of these
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 14: players are going through that first full season for the
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 14: first time. But the first player I wanted to talk
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 14: about was someone we saw quite a bit in spring training,
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 14: especially toward the tail end, Dari Fernandez, who looks like
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 14: he's off to a real nice start both at the
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 14: plate and in the field.
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 20: Yeah, good morning, Rosie.
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 30: The Hill City group, to your point, has got a
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 30: lot of energy. It's been a week there, and they're
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 30: really fun to watch, the young guys. But Dari's one
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 30: of those players who's young. He's really talented. He's a
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 30: switch-hitting infielder who's played a lot of his time last
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 30: year in the Arizona Complex level and got a small
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 30: taste of the affiliate life last year when winning that
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 30: championship and you know he's a really interesting profile offensively
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 30: he's got really strong back-to-ball skills but is also aggressive
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 30: in zone and and out of zone and tends to
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 30: chase pitches sometimes but still remains really productive at the
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 30: plate so there's been a lot of work you know
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 30: cleaning up the swing decisions getting him to understand and
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 30: stay within more of his like targeted swing zones and
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 30: that's been a strong emphasis to start the year and
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 30: You know, he's really gifted as an athlete and spends
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 30: a lot of his time on the left side of
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 30: the infield, but he's pretty much handled everyday shortstop duties
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 30: with an injury the last few weeks for one of
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 30: our other infielders. Yeah, he's got a plus arm strength
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 30: out there. He's a strong and accurate thrower. He's got
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 30: good actions and presence at the position, and he's developing
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 30: really well there. So it's been exciting to see him
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 30: get a lot more of those playing reps at shortstop.
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 30: And like a lot of these young players, There's just
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 30: a huge tie-in to the physical development like we've talked
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 30: about and and how that fits to just the long-term
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 30: view of what he could be and you know we're
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 30: looking to continue to build off of a really good
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 30: offseason where he we saw him tack on some strength
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 30: and power and.
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 2: Muscle mass and you know there's still some.
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 30: Frame to go and and some work to be done
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 30: there and We think that will translate long-term to more
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 30: power and punch offensively, but handling the position really well
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 30: right now and doing a lot of good things.
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 14: He's just a fun one to watch. We'll take a
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 14: timeout and then talk pitching. at hill city when we
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 14: return after this.
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 23: Here's the bet 365 minute where winning is everything with
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 23: scott davidson let's.
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 32: Check out the numbers tonight the guardians are hot but
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 32: they're a big underdog tonight philadelphia minus 185 low total
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 32: it's six and a half and let's keep this red
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 32: hot run going here let's give you another winner on
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 32: a money line play i like the red socks over
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 32: the twins tonight now it's rising star peyton toley on
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 32: a hill he goes against another rising star and that
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 32: is connor prelip but Prelip gets no run support. He's
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 32: kind of like Tanner Bybee. And the big deciding factor
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 32: for me here is that Boston is currently the best
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 32: team in the majors at hitting lefties. So we get
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 32: two good pitchers and one team that just crushes left-handed pitching.
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 32: The Red Sox are coming off a sweep in KC.
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 1: I like them tonight on the Moneyline.

• 2:09:35
  Speaker 14: It's Guardians warm-up. Steven Oster is joining us. He's the
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 14: vice president of player development for the Guardians. We're talking
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 14: about the single-A affiliate in the Carolina League, the Hill
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 14: City Howlers. And we'll turn to the mound, and you
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 14: have an award winner, a Carolina League award winner for
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 14: the early portion of the schedule, left-hander Harrison Bodendorf. And
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 14: what's Bodendorf done to really stand out in the early season?
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 30: Yeah, it's always fun having an early award, and yeah,
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 30: Harrison came out and pitched extremely well over the starts
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 30: that he's made in April, and this was a left-handed
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 30: college arm that we took last year in the draft,
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 30: and he was maybe a tick on the polished side
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 30: when we took him, and we thought there's a lot
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 30: of development left to gain, and he was a performer,
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 30: a strikethrower, and yeah, there are some things that we
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 30: could tap into from a velocity standpoint.
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 20: And, and things that we can kind of build upon as,
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 20: as we got him.
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 2: So he's got a unique.
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 9: Slot with a fastball.
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 30: It's going to play above its current velocity, which is
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 30: holding down to maybe in the low nineties. It's, it's
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 30: more East to West from the, from an arsenal standpoint,
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 30: he's got a really good change up. He's done a
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 30: phenomenal job of just controlling counts and getting ahead. And
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 30: that's resulted in not really walking anyone. And, His stuff
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 30: has played up because of it, and he's striking out
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 30: about 36% of the batters he's facing, which is a lot. Again,
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 30: I think the long-term vision for him here is just
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 30: hinge on him continuing to gain velocity over time. This
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 30: is probably more of a slow drip than it is
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 30: a hurried rush, and we've seen some of that development already.
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 30: That part is really exciting.
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 2: He's got a big frame. He's a big guy.
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 30: There's a lot of room left for growth physically, so
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 30: We're seeing that upward trajectory to start his professional career,
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 30: and we think that we can continue to see that
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 30: moving forward. Bodendorf has come out as hot as anyone
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 30: in that league, obviously, and there's a lot to like
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 30: and build upon for the future.
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 14: I know most are a ways away from the major leagues,
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 14: but it's exciting to hear about what could be for
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 14: a lot of these guys. Asti, always fun to have
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 14: you along. Thank you.

  Speaker 14: Touch and go weekend here. When we come back, Tom
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 14: Hamilton visits with manager Stephen Fote. It's the Key Bank
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 14: Manager Show, and it comes your way next on the
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 14: Cleveland Clinic Radio Network. Hi again, everybody, with Cleveland manager
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 14: Stephen Booth. This is Tom Hamilton.
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 8: Welcome.
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 14: It's the Manager's Show. It's brought to you by KeyBank. Okay,
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 14: I know you don't look back, but doggone it, can't
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 14: we for a couple of minutes here? That was some
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 14: kind of four-game series.
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 20: Yeah, it was, and we could definitely look back. We
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 20: haven't started tonight yet.
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 1: What a fun series.
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 15: You know, you get a big win Monday night and
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 15: then three close ones. And, you know, we pitched well.
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 15: We had timely hitting, some clutch hitting, and some really
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 15: good defense. And it was just a really, really fun four.
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 15: It's hard to win three out of four, let alone sweep,
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 15: and really fun for our guys.
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 14: And again, we haven't even quite gotten to Memorial Day.
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 14: But what does that do for your club?
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 1: Let's face it.
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 14: You two have really become rivals, Cleveland and Detroit, here
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 14: over the last, if you include this year, three years.
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, I think it's good, especially for our
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 15: young guys, because, you know, they've watched this series between us,
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 15: and we know the Tigers aren't going anywhere.
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 20: We know they're going to be back.
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 15: We know that they're going to get healthy and get better,
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 15: and so for us to go in there and take four,
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 15: it's a big swing for us, and just for our
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 15: guys to know, like, this little stretch we've been on,
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 15: we're capable of doing this, and that's really powerful going into,
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 15: you know, 111 games left.
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 14: You may not have wanted to diagram the way things
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 14: went last year for you, but the fact that you
• 2:16:25
  Speaker 14: were on the other end of it and came from
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 14: 15 and a half back, came from 11 back in September,
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 14: does that help your club now when you're on the
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 14: other side or the good side?
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 15: Yeah, again, we're trying not to look at the standings
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 15: this time of year, and we just want to focus
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 15: on today's game and win today's game, and If we
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 15: can just keep stacking good days, if we can just
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 15: keep stacking good wins, good well-played games, you know, you're
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 15: not going to win every game, but we want to
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 15: play well every day. And if we can continue to
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 15: stack those days, we're going to like where we end up.
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 14: Okay, what do you like best of what you're seeing
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 14: here over the last two-plus weeks?
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 15: Well, just the quality of bats. You know, obviously we're
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 15: pitching well. I feel like we never talk about the
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 15: pitching when it's going well. We don't ever give them
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 15: the credit. I mean, our starters have been great. The
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 15: bullpen has been fantastic. And they're getting good defense behind them.
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 15: They're using their fielders. But the quality of bats, I mean,
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 15: the walks, we're getting on base, we're touching first, and
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 15: then we're executing when we get those runners in scoring position.
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 20: I mean, we've been bunting a lot.
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 15: We've been hitting some sack flies, getting some RBI ground outs.
• 2:17:26
  Speaker 15: We're running the base as well. There's just a lot
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 15: to be happy about, but we have to keep going.
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 14: This is a more dangerous lineup than a year ago,
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 14: isn't it?
• 2:17:34
  Speaker 1: By far, yeah.
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 15: I mean, just getting some of our younger hitters here
• 2:17:37
  Speaker 15: and adding people like Hoskins who gives you a quality
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 15: at bat every single time.
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 20: We really feel like this is a very deep lineup.
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 20: I mean, you see it.
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 15: Brian Rocchio is one of our best hitters, hitting ninth.
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 15: And Stephen Kwan's hitting seventh for us. I mean, that
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 15: is a very long lineup.
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 14: This is a whole different animal now. The Philadelphia Phillies
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 14: in this ballpark, they look like the Phillies again, don't they?
• 2:17:59
  Speaker 15: Yeah, they got off to a slow start. This is
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 15: one of the best teams in baseball. They have been
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 15: for the last few years. They still are It's a
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 15: really long, deep lineup. They've got three very good starting
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 15: pitchers thrown at us, and the back end of their
• 2:18:11
  Speaker 15: bullpen is pretty good.
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 20: So we've got our work cut out for us. We
• 2:18:14
  Speaker 20: know that. We came here two years ago and took
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 20: a series from them. That's our goal this one. Let's
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 20: win this series too.
• 2:18:19
  Speaker 14: How do you attack a guy like Schwarber? Now he's
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 14: missed three games because he had a stomach bug, but
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 14: voter nine home runs in 10 games, and he already
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 14: has 20?
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean, there's a reason. He's the only DH
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 20: left in baseball.
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 15: I mean, this kid can hit, and he always has
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 15: everywhere he's been, but.
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 20: We just have to make pitches. Every good hitter has holes.
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 20: They have weaknesses.
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 15: It's still hard to square the ball up. Just make
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 15: quality pitches to him, and hopefully he pops them up.
• 2:18:45
  Speaker 14: How has Sanchez gotten to 29 consecutive innings without giving
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 14: up a run? What makes him special?
• 2:18:52
  Speaker 20: I mean, he's a tough lefty. It's a tough angle.
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 15: He's got a really good sinker, and his changeup is
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 15: very hard, and it bites, and Anytime you've got two
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 15: really good ground ball pitches like that, it's very similar
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 15: to Framber that we did.
• 2:19:04
  Speaker 20: So we've got to hit them in the air.
• 2:19:05
  Speaker 15: That's the goal again today. Let's see how many fly
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 15: balls we can hit. We've got to hit it over
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 15: the infielders' heads.
• 2:19:11
  Speaker 14: I sense you're excited for this series. Fun to see
• 2:19:13
  Speaker 14: how you match up, isn't it?
• 2:19:14
  Speaker 20: Yeah, it's always fun. It's fun to come to these
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 20: National League parks every other year. It really is. This
• 2:19:20
  Speaker 20: is a great place to play. It's a weekend. It's
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 20: going to be crazy and crowded. I'm sure the Philly
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 20: fans will be very kind to us.
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 15: They won't have any smart-aleck comments for us. It'll be
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 15: just a nice, quiet weekend here in Philly.
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 14: There you have it, folks. Stephen Vogt, the American League
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 14: Manager of the Year. Tom Hamilton inviting you to stay
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 14: tuned for this first game of the weekend series with Philly,
• 2:19:40
  Speaker 14: next on the Cleveland Clinic Radio Network. Welcome back to
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 14: the Bet365 Guardians warm-up show. Time for the pitching matchup
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 14: as the Guardians and Phillies get ready for Game 1.
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 14: of this three-game weekend series. Right-hander Gavin Williams on the

  Speaker 14: mound for the Guardians. Six and three after ten starts,
• 2:20:04
  Speaker 14: an earned run average of 3.67. Coming off a win
• 2:20:08
  Speaker 14: in his last time out, Sunday against the Reds with
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 14: six strong innings, two starts in his career against the Phillies.
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 14: He's pitched nine innings and allowed just one run. He'll
• 2:20:18
  Speaker 14: be opposed by the tough lefty, Christopher Sanchez, one of
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 14: the best in baseball. 5-2 this year with an ERA
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 14: of 1.82. He's coming off a shutout against the Pirates
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 14: on Saturday in which he struck out 13, didn't walk
• 2:20:33
  Speaker 14: a batter. Only time he's faced the Guardians was right
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 14: here two years ago. Guardians got to him. They pinned
• 2:20:39
  Speaker 14: a loss on Sanchez as he allowed three runs in
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 14: six innings. That's your pitching matchup. And that'll do it
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 14: for Guardians warm-up. Stay tuned. Starting lineups and the first pitch.

  Speaker 14: From Citizens Bank Park, right near the Delaware River, we
• 2:27:20
  Speaker 14: greet you tonight from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Game number 53, as
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 14: the Cleveland Guardians and the Philadelphia Phillies are slated to
• 2:27:31
  Speaker 14: start this game in the rain. The rain continues to fall,
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 14: but right now they have lined the field. and we
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 14: are starting this game. And if you're wondering, huh, here's
• 2:27:44
  Speaker 14: the reason why. This might be the best weather we
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 14: have the rest of the weekend, what we have right now.
• 2:27:50
  Speaker 14: The eastern seaboard is getting pounded by cold temperatures and rain,
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 14: and it's already started here. There's already talk that there
• 2:28:02
  Speaker 14: could be a day-night doubleheader on Sunday. Get this, folks.
• 2:28:07
  Speaker 14: Philly plays Monday afternoon in San Diego. How in the
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 14: world you can make the Phillies play a day-night doubleheader
• 2:28:15
  Speaker 14: here on Sunday and then play a Monday day game
• 2:28:19
  Speaker 14: in San Diego is another story, but that's already what
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 14: is being discussed. That's how bad the weather forecast is
• 2:28:27
  Speaker 14: here in Philadelphia. Hi again, everybody. This is Tom Hamilton
• 2:28:32
  Speaker 14: along with Jim Rosenhouse. We have our good buddy from
• 2:28:35
  Speaker 14: Baltimore in the booth with us tonight, Tim Jones, and
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 14: back at Command Center, Brian Motze. Lineup cards are being
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 14: exchanged with the men in blue, or in this case tonight,
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 14: the men in black. Junior Valentine, the home plate umpire tonight.
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 14: Jordan Baker, the crew chief at first. Dylan Wilson at second,
• 2:28:56
  Speaker 14: and Stu Sherwater at third. There is absolutely no sign
• 2:29:01
  Speaker 14: of the grounds crew as the tarp is rolled up
• 2:29:05
  Speaker 14: in foul territory tonight. and up against the grandstand area
• 2:29:09
  Speaker 14: down the left field line. So there's no question, we
• 2:29:12
  Speaker 14: are starting this ballgame in the rain. Cleveland coming in
• 2:29:17
  Speaker 14: red hot. They've peeled off six straight wins, nine out
• 2:29:21
  Speaker 14: of ten. Their record now 30-22, and they've opened up
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 14: a three-and-a-half game lead on the Chicago White Sox in
• 2:29:29
  Speaker 14: the AL Central. In the NL East, right now Atlanta
• 2:29:34
  Speaker 14: is running away with it. The Braves have a nine-and-a-half
• 2:29:39
  Speaker 14: game lead on Philadelphia. The Phillies in second place at 25-25.
• 2:29:45
  Speaker 14: The Braves the only team in the National League East
• 2:29:48
  Speaker 14: that's above.
• 2:29:49
  Speaker 1: 500.
• 2:29:49
  Speaker 14: And Philly was ten games under.
• 2:29:53
  Speaker 2: 500.
• 2:29:54
  Speaker 14: Fired their manager, and they have clawed their way back
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 14: to the break-even mark. Here at Citizens Bank Park, this
• 2:30:06
  Speaker 14: is one of the great baseball parks in all of baseball. Normally,
• 2:30:10
  Speaker 14: it's as an electric and atmosphere as any park in baseball.
• 2:30:15
  Speaker 14: When you talk about electric atmospheres, you're two top ballparks
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 14: when you get a consensus from most baseball people. Our
• 2:30:25
  Speaker 14: San Diego and Philadelphia, when it comes to electricity, sellout crowds,
• 2:30:32
  Speaker 14: fan engagement, those two seem to be at the top
• 2:30:36
  Speaker 14: of the leaderboard. We're not going to have that kind
• 2:30:39
  Speaker 14: of an atmosphere here tonight because even though they were
• 2:30:42
  Speaker 14: expecting mostly sellout crowds this Memorial weekend, the rain is
• 2:30:48
  Speaker 14: keeping a lot of people awake. As the Phillies take
• 2:30:51
  Speaker 14: the field in the rain in their City Connect jerseys.
• 2:30:56
  Speaker 14: And to say they're unique would be an understatement. They
• 2:31:02
  Speaker 14: have some kind of shade of blue for half the jersey.
• 2:31:08
  Speaker 14: And then they've got a darker blue below it. Black pants,
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 14: some white trim, some yellow trim.
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 22: It..
• 2:31:17
  Speaker 14: It's unique. Cleveland's in their road gray uniforms with the
• 2:31:21
  Speaker 14: navy blue and the red trim. Here at Citizens Bank Park.
• 2:31:27
  Speaker 14: This park opened up in 2004. The dimensions read like this.
• 2:31:30
  Speaker 14: 330 down the right field line. It is 369 to
• 2:31:33
  Speaker 14: right center. 401 to dead center.
• 2:31:34
  Speaker 2: It is..
• 2:31:34
  Speaker 14: 374 to the gap in left center, and then 329
• 2:31:48
  Speaker 14: down the left field line. The wall, well, in right
• 2:31:53
  Speaker 14: and right center, it's 13 feet 3 inches. Straightaway center,
• 2:31:58
  Speaker 14: it's just 6 feet high. Then in parts of left field,
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 14: it's 10 1⁄2 feet high up to 19 feet high
• 2:32:08
  Speaker 14: just to the left of straightaway center. A ballpark that
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 14: seats nearly 43,000, and normally most of those seats are filled.
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 14: They've got the dark blue seats in this beautiful ballpark. It's,
• 2:32:24
  Speaker 14: in essence, a three-deck affair. You've got the upper deck
• 2:32:29
  Speaker 14: that does have a bit of a divide to it,
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 14: but the three decks start in the left field corner,
• 2:32:35
  Speaker 14: work their way around the home plate, down the right
• 2:32:37
  Speaker 14: field line, out into right center, and then two decks
• 2:32:41
  Speaker 14: succeeding out in left and left center. One of the
• 2:32:44
  Speaker 14: best pitchers in baseball this season on the hill tonight
• 2:32:48
  Speaker 14: for Philly, his name, Christopher Sanchez. He comes in here
• 2:32:53
  Speaker 14: having pitched 29 and two-thirds consecutive scoreless innings. 6'6, 202, 29.
• 2:33:03
  Speaker 14: Mid-90s sinker, slider change. Aniel Martinez leads off tonight's first pitch.
• 2:33:08
  Speaker 14: Up high, ball one. Underway in Philadelphia. 58 degrees, the
• 2:33:16
  Speaker 14: game time temp. Sanchez from the third base side of
• 2:33:22
  Speaker 14: the rubber delivers, and it's inside corner, a delayed call,
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 14: and it evens the count at one ball and one strike.
• 2:33:35
  Speaker 14: Christopher Sanchez. The wind-in pitch to Martinez, and he foul
• 2:33:43
  Speaker 14: tips it into the catcher's mitt. One ball, two strikes.
• 2:33:47
  Speaker 14: Angel Martinez batting. 256, nine homers, 26 RBIs. Cleveland with
• 2:33:54
  Speaker 14: a lineup tonight that has six right-handed bats in it.
• 2:33:58
  Speaker 14: The pitch, swing, and a miss. Got him to chase
• 2:34:02
  Speaker 14: down and in. And Sanchez with a strikeout on a
• 2:34:06
  Speaker 14: changeup to start tonight's ballgame. And his changeup, about as
• 2:34:11
  Speaker 14: good as any changeup in the game. He throws his
• 2:34:16
  Speaker 14: changeup 38% of the time, and teams are batting 148
• 2:34:20
  Speaker 14: off that changeup. Jose Ramirez in the two-hole. He'll bat right-handed.
• 2:34:29
  Speaker 14: The wind-end pitch, and it's swung on, drilled to left field.
• 2:34:33
  Speaker 14: Marsh reaches up, makes the catch just before he got
• 2:34:36
  Speaker 14: to the track. Hard hit, but out number two. Brandon
• 2:34:40
  Speaker 14: Marsh is in left. Justin Crawford's in center. and Adolis
• 2:34:46
  Speaker 14: Garcia in right. On the dirt, Bryce Harper at first,
• 2:34:50
  Speaker 14: Bryson Stott at second, Trey Turner at short, Alec Bohm
• 2:34:55
  Speaker 14: at third, and JT Riamuto the catcher. Nice hand for
• 2:35:00
  Speaker 14: the longtime Philadelphia Philly. Reese Hoskins stepping in. Two outs,
• 2:35:04
  Speaker 14: no score, first inning, and he checks on a pitch
• 2:35:08
  Speaker 14: down and in, and he went around on the appeal,
• 2:35:11
  Speaker 14: chased the slider. Reese Hoskins spent six years here in Philadelphia,
• 2:35:21
  Speaker 14: had some of his best years. He takes outside a ball,
• 2:35:26
  Speaker 14: another changeup, and that'll even the count at 1-1. This
• 2:35:30
  Speaker 14: is about as good a hitter's park as there is
• 2:35:33
  Speaker 14: in the game, but tonight, cold, rainy, 58 degrees, bit
• 2:35:37
  Speaker 14: of a breeze from the right field to left field corner.
• 2:35:41
  Speaker 14: The next pitch, waved at, and the count now. Quickly
• 2:35:45
  Speaker 14: goes to a ball and two strikes. Sanchez comes in
• 2:35:52
  Speaker 14: a record of 5-2. Best ERA in the National League, 182.
• 2:35:58
  Speaker 14: Now the kick and the 1-2 pitch. Swing and a miss.
• 2:36:02
  Speaker 14: Struck him out on a changeup. And so he's now
• 2:36:05
  Speaker 14: gone 30 and two-thirds consecutive innings without giving up a
• 2:36:10
  Speaker 14: run as the Guardians go in order and the Phillies
• 2:36:13
  Speaker 14: come to bat.

• 2:38:08
  Speaker 14: Gavin Williams on the hill for Cleveland tonight. Trey Turner,
• 2:38:12
  Speaker 14: the shortstop, leads off. No score. Righty-righty, and the first
• 2:38:16
  Speaker 14: pitch hit high in the air. Fairly deep right center.
• 2:38:20
  Speaker 14: Called for by P.D. Helpen as he gets to the
• 2:38:22
  Speaker 14: warning track. Trey Turner came in batting 239, one pitch,
• 2:38:28
  Speaker 14: one out. That's right, Petey helping. He's in center field tonight,
• 2:38:33
  Speaker 14: flanked by Stephen Kwan and left it. Angel Martinez is
• 2:38:38
  Speaker 14: in right. Reese Hoskins, he's at first. Travis Pazana at second.
• 2:38:45
  Speaker 14: Brian Rocchio at short. Jose Ramirez at third. Austin Hedges catching.
• 2:38:49
  Speaker 14: Here's Kyle Schwarber back in the lineup. The DH takes
• 2:38:54
  Speaker 14: a heater strike. Gavin Williams, 6'6, 250, 26 years of age,
• 2:39:00
  Speaker 14: mid to upper 90s, fastball sinker cutter, plus the curve
• 2:39:04
  Speaker 14: and slider. The wind and the pitch to Schwarber, and
• 2:39:09
  Speaker 14: it moves his back foot down and in one and one.
• 2:39:13
  Speaker 14: Schwarber had a stomach bug, knocked him out of the
• 2:39:16
  Speaker 14: Phillies lineup for three games. They had yesterday off, but
• 2:39:21
  Speaker 14: he missed Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. What a start for the
• 2:39:26
  Speaker 14: Ohio native. The pitch. And he cuts and misses. That
• 2:39:31
  Speaker 14: was a good looking breaking ball. One and two to count.
• 2:39:36
  Speaker 14: Schwarber with nine home runs recently in an eight-game stretch.
• 2:39:44
  Speaker 14: Now the one-two. Down low, two and two. You know
• 2:39:48
  Speaker 14: who else did that? Albert Bell. Back when he should
• 2:39:52
  Speaker 14: have been the American League MVP in 1995. Nine homers
• 2:39:57
  Speaker 14: in an eight-game stretch. The two-two. And strike three called.
• 2:40:04
  Speaker 14: Got him looking at a slider. Schwarber with a slow
• 2:40:08
  Speaker 14: walk back to the first base dugout. And that is
• 2:40:13
  Speaker 14: out number two. That'll bring up Bryce Harper. He has
• 2:40:16
  Speaker 14: started to heat up, batting. 267, a dozen homers, 31 RBIs.
• 2:40:23
  Speaker 14: Gavin Williams leads the American League and wins with six.
• 2:40:27
  Speaker 14: He is fourth in strikeouts. Coming in a 6-3 mark,
• 2:40:33
  Speaker 14: an ERA of. 367. Now the wind and the pitch.
• 2:40:39
  Speaker 14: And it's swung on, fouled upstairs. Strike one. Williams in
• 2:40:44
  Speaker 14: 10 starts, no complete games, but 6 innings to start.
• 2:40:49
  Speaker 14: He averages 11 strikeouts, 3 walks per 9 innings. Now
• 2:40:55
  Speaker 14: the kick in the 0-1. A swing and a ground
• 2:40:59
  Speaker 14: ball toward first by the diving Hoskins. Into foul ground
• 2:41:03
  Speaker 14: off that sidewall it kicks. And a double for Bryce Harper,
• 2:41:07
  Speaker 14: his 10th. He didn't hit it that hard, but he...
• 2:41:10
  Speaker 14: Placed it perfectly down that first baseline. So he has
• 2:41:15
  Speaker 14: the two-out double here in the first. Alec Boehm coming
• 2:41:19
  Speaker 14: to the plate. Boy, is he on a roll. Alec
• 2:41:25
  Speaker 14: Boehm is a right-handed hitting third baseman. Alec Boehm, the
• 2:41:34
  Speaker 14: first 35 games of the year, batted 159 yards. With
• 2:41:39
  Speaker 14: a home run and a 4.33 OPS. For 35 games.
• 2:41:45
  Speaker 14: The pitch. And it's in there. Now, Alec Baum, in
• 2:41:51
  Speaker 14: the last 11 games, batting 4.05. Four homers, eight extra
• 2:41:58
  Speaker 14: base hits. Oh yeah, and an OPS of over 1,200.
• 2:42:02
  Speaker 14: The pitch. Outside a ball, one and one. This lineup
• 2:42:10
  Speaker 14: can thump. Now, they got off to a terrible start,
• 2:42:14
  Speaker 14: and it cost Rob Thompson his job as manager. Don
• 2:42:17
  Speaker 14: Mattingly is the interim manager for the rest of this season.
• 2:42:24
  Speaker 14: No score, runner at second, two down in the first.
• 2:42:27
  Speaker 14: Williams pitch, outside, corner, strike, and they count one and two.
• 2:42:35
  Speaker 14: But the Phillies were 9-19, and that's when Dave Dombrowski
• 2:42:40
  Speaker 14: fired Rob Thompson. Under Don Mattingly, the club 16-6. Now
• 2:42:48
  Speaker 14: the 1-2. Checked on a breaking ball away. 2-2, that's
• 2:42:53
  Speaker 14: that hard slider. Philly at one point in April lost
• 2:42:58
  Speaker 14: 10 in a row. It's just hard to fathom a
• 2:43:02
  Speaker 14: club this good. could lose 10 in a row now
• 2:43:07
  Speaker 14: the 2-2 and it missed down low threw him another
• 2:43:12
  Speaker 14: curveball won't count the thing you have to be careful
• 2:43:17
  Speaker 14: of here is you don't nibble and get too careful
• 2:43:22
  Speaker 14: or you can really play into their hands When you've
• 2:43:28
  Speaker 14: got rust to bust, use PB Blaster, Cleveland original since 1957.
• 2:43:33
  Speaker 14: PB Blaster, work it like a pro. A look back
• 2:43:37
  Speaker 14: at second.
• 2:43:39
  Speaker 1: The payoff.
• 2:43:40
  Speaker 14: Swing and a miss. Gavin Williams strikes out a pair
• 2:43:44
  Speaker 14: after one in the city of brotherly love. We are
• 2:43:48
  Speaker 14: scoreless on the Cleveland Clinic Radio Network.
• 2:43:59
  Speaker 3: News Radio 570 WKBN, Youngstown.
• 2:44:08
  Speaker 14: David Frye DH-ing hitting cleanup tonight. An 0-for-13 slide leads
• 2:44:13
  Speaker 14: off the second no score. The left-hander Christopher Sanchez delivers.
• 2:44:19
  Speaker 14: And it's inside corner strike. Sanchez was the runner-up to
• 2:44:24
  Speaker 14: Paul Skeens last year for the National League Cy Young Awards.
• 2:44:29
  Speaker 14: In fact, he got every second-place vote. Now the 0-1.
• 2:44:37
  Speaker 14: Swung and ripped into left. There's a base hit. David
• 2:44:40
  Speaker 14: Fry breaks that 0 for 13. That'll bring up Travis Bazzana.
• 2:44:46
  Speaker 14: Left on left. Now, if you're wondering about lefties against
• 2:44:51
  Speaker 14: the lefty, Sanchez has a 145 batting average against him
• 2:44:59
  Speaker 14: when he faces a left-handed hitter. In other words, good luck.
• 2:45:04
  Speaker 14: No score, second inning. The set, the pitch, and upon attempt,
• 2:45:11
  Speaker 14: missed strike one. Travis Pazana batting 288, a couple of homers,
• 2:45:17
  Speaker 14: nine RBIs, a 409 on-base percentage. First four innings, it's
• 2:45:25
  Speaker 14: the Conrad score for win four new tires. Contestant tonight,
• 2:45:30
  Speaker 14: Dana Gaudio of Highland Heights. Now the 0-1. Lozano waves
• 2:45:38
  Speaker 14: at the slider, 0-2. So Dana Gaudio trying to win
• 2:45:44
  Speaker 14: the four Bridgestone tires thanks to Conrad's Tire Express and
• 2:45:47
  Speaker 14: Total Car Care. Visit econrads.com to enter. Not a great
• 2:45:53
  Speaker 14: night to try to win tires against this guy. Now
• 2:45:58
  Speaker 14: the 0-2 from Sanchez to Bozana. Down and away, yanked
• 2:46:03
  Speaker 14: the slider, one ball, two strikes. A 5-2 record, a
• 2:46:08
  Speaker 14: 182 ERA, 11 strikeouts, two walks per nine, and coming
• 2:46:16
  Speaker 14: off a complete game shutout five days ago in Pittsburgh.
• 2:46:21
  Speaker 1: The pitch.
• 2:46:22
  Speaker 14: Swung on a chopper to first. Harper in on the grass.
• 2:46:25
  Speaker 14: Goes to second.
• 2:46:26
  Speaker 22: One.
• 2:46:26
  Speaker 14: That's all they'll get. So David Fry forced out. Lozano
• 2:46:32
  Speaker 14: with seven steals. Caught one time. Is on at first.
• 2:46:36
  Speaker 14: One down. Second inning. No score. Boy, his shutout five
• 2:46:46
  Speaker 14: days ago against Pittsburgh was magnificent.
• 2:46:50
  Speaker 1: One.
• 2:46:50
  Speaker 14: He only made 108 pitches in the complete game. Six-hit shutout.
• 2:46:56
  Speaker 14: Struck out 13 and didn't walk a batter. Now the
• 2:47:02
  Speaker 14: pitch to Brian Rocchio, batting right-handed. Leans him back for
• 2:47:05
  Speaker 14: ball one. Switch hitting shortstop. Moved up from ninth to
• 2:47:10
  Speaker 14: sixth because Petey Halpin's in the lineup tonight. He'll bat ninth.
• 2:47:17
  Speaker 14: De Lauder, Schneeman, Manzardo, Bailey. getting the night off, at
• 2:47:21
  Speaker 14: least at the outset. Toss over to first and back
• 2:47:25
  Speaker 14: standing easily is Bozzana. Normally when Tampa Bay calls you
• 2:47:32
  Speaker 14: and says, hey, we'd like to trade you a pitcher,
• 2:47:35
  Speaker 14: you immediately hang up. Thankfully for Philly, they did not.
• 2:47:43
  Speaker 14: The pitch. And it's in there to even the count. Look,
• 2:47:48
  Speaker 14: Tampa Bay knows as much about pitching as any organization
• 2:47:51
  Speaker 14: in the game. So if they want to trade a pitcher,
• 2:47:53
  Speaker 14: you go, hmm, what's wrong with them? They traded this
• 2:47:57
  Speaker 14: guy to Philly for Curtis Meade. Great trade for Philly.
• 2:48:05
  Speaker 14: Hazana dancing off first. The pitch down low, two and one.
• 2:48:09
  Speaker 14: I mean, you can't make a better trade than that one.
• 2:48:15
  Speaker 14: And that happened in November of 2019. This is the
• 2:48:21
  Speaker 14: seventh year for Christopher Sanchez here in Philly. The pitch
• 2:48:27
  Speaker 14: down low. And you wonder, is Pazanas dancing off the bag,
• 2:48:32
  Speaker 14: distracting Christopher Sanchez? Because now he's 3-1. On the batter,
• 2:48:39
  Speaker 14: Brian Rocchio, and Sanchez averages less than two walks per
• 2:48:44
  Speaker 14: nine innings. Outfield, medium deep, pretty much straight away. Now
• 2:48:50
  Speaker 14: the pitch. Outside, corner, a strike as Rocchio started to
• 2:48:56
  Speaker 14: toss the bat. Cleveland in the third base dugout, Philly
• 2:49:00
  Speaker 14: in the first. Full count now. Let's see if Pazana
• 2:49:04
  Speaker 14: is running. J.T. Riomuto, one of the better throwing catchers
• 2:49:09
  Speaker 14: in the game, but this year not as good. 23%
• 2:49:12
  Speaker 14: have been caught stealing when he throws. Now the payoff.
• 2:49:23
  Speaker 14: Pazana stays. Rocio swings through it. Strikeout number three for Sanchez.
• 2:49:30
  Speaker 14: Two down. That'll bring up Stephen Kwan. Stephen Kwan, since
• 2:49:38
  Speaker 14: he vacated the leadoff spot in the six games since then,
• 2:49:45
  Speaker 14: he's had a 480 on-base percentage. Three hits, nine walks.
• 2:49:52
  Speaker 14: All six games, Cleveland won. Toss to first. Bozana about
• 2:49:57
  Speaker 14: a step off the bag. Two down, Bozzana at first,
• 2:50:01
  Speaker 14: no score second inning. It's been raining since the game
• 2:50:04
  Speaker 14: began here in Philadelphia. A light rain, but a bone-chilling rain,
• 2:50:09
  Speaker 14: 58 degrees and breezy. The pitch, Kwon looks, takes a strike.
• 2:50:18
  Speaker 14: Stephen Kwon's played in nine games against Philly. In those
• 2:50:22
  Speaker 14: nine games, he's hit two home runs and batted 371.
• 2:50:29
  Speaker 14: Tough assignment right now. Left on left against Sanchez. The
• 2:50:33
  Speaker 14: next pitch. Waved at the slider. Looked like he tried
• 2:50:37
  Speaker 14: to hammer that one. Maybe to the Delaware River. 0-2
• 2:50:41
  Speaker 14: the count. Christopher Sanchez. Long and lanky. Hands belt high. Sets. Delivers,
• 2:50:57
  Speaker 14: runner goes, pitch swung on, fouled out of play. Second deck,
• 2:51:01
  Speaker 14: third base side. Well, this is a case here with
• 2:51:04
  Speaker 14: two strengths on Kwon. Even if Pazana gets thrown out,
• 2:51:10
  Speaker 14: then you've got Kwon leading off the third. No score,
• 2:51:14
  Speaker 14: we're in the second. Sanchez has faced Cleveland one other
• 2:51:21
  Speaker 14: time two years ago. Cleveland beat them, scored three in
• 2:51:24
  Speaker 14: six innings. The pitch. Swing and a little weak topper
• 2:51:28
  Speaker 14: to the grass area at first. Harper just did beat
• 2:51:32
  Speaker 14: Kwon to the bag. That was close. We go to
• 2:51:35
  Speaker 14: the bottom of the second. No score at Citizens Bank
• 2:51:38
  Speaker 14: Park on the Cleveland Clinic Radio Network.
• 2:51:43

  Speaker 14: National League with a. 325 batting mark. Four homers, 22 RBIs.
• 2:53:54
  Speaker 14: The wind and pitch from Gavin Williams. And it's swung
• 2:53:58
  Speaker 14: on and missed. Strike one. When the Guardians win, your
• 2:54:02
  Speaker 14: Northeast Ohio Ford dealers donate $ 500 to Cleveland Guardians charities

  Speaker 14: a foul at the plate.
• 2:54:15
  Speaker 17: 0-2.
• 2:54:15
  Speaker 14: Gavin Williams scores. His last outing. Five days ago against
• 2:54:27
  Speaker 14: the Reds. Went six innings. Gave up two runs to
• 2:54:30
  Speaker 14: get the win. Struck out seven. Didn't walk anybody. Off
• 2:54:36
  Speaker 14: to a tremendous start.
• 2:54:38
  Speaker 1: The pitch.
• 2:54:39
  Speaker 14: Up high. One ball, two strikes. Gavin Williams now has
• 2:54:47
  Speaker 14: gone six innings or more in six straight Starts. The 1-2.
• 2:54:56
  Speaker 14: Swing and a miss. Got him to chase that backdoor slider.
• 2:55:01
  Speaker 14: Third strikeout for Williams. Marsh out number one. Here's Adolis Garcia.
• 2:55:08
  Speaker 14: Saw a lot of him with Texas. The last Cleveland
• 2:55:12
  Speaker 14: pitcher to go seven straight starts of six innings or more.
• 2:55:20
  Speaker 14: Go back to Cy Young winner Shane Beaver four years ago.
• 2:55:24
  Speaker 14: The pitch outside and low a ball. And Cleveland got
• 2:55:29
  Speaker 14: really good starting pitching in Motown. So while the bullpen
• 2:55:34
  Speaker 14: was still used, the length of starters are now going
• 2:55:40
  Speaker 14: really helping out. That pitch is right on the inside edge. Boy,
• 2:55:44
  Speaker 14: he is pounding the corners in the upper 90s. It
• 2:55:49
  Speaker 14: was a 97-mile-an-hour sinker. No score. The kick and delivery.
• 2:55:57
  Speaker 14: Swing and a foul down the right side. One and
• 2:56:00
  Speaker 14: two to count. Gavin Williams has not pitched nearly as
• 2:56:06
  Speaker 14: well on the road. ERA of two and a half
• 2:56:09
  Speaker 14: at home and just about five on the road. Well, boy,
• 2:56:13
  Speaker 14: he looks dominant early here tonight. Now the one-twos. Swung on,
• 2:56:19
  Speaker 14: a weak bouncing ball to third. Ramirez charges, gloves from
• 2:56:22
  Speaker 14: the grass, couldn't get anything on the throw. Kind of
• 2:56:25
  Speaker 14: squirted out of his hands. Might be because it's a
• 2:56:28
  Speaker 14: wet ball with the rain. You hit it in on
• 2:56:31
  Speaker 14: the grass, that'll be an infield hit for Garcia. That'll
• 2:56:38
  Speaker 14: bring up Bryson Stott. Left-handed hitting, second baseman. Bryson Stott hitting. 229,
• 2:56:49
  Speaker 14: five homers, 23 RBIs. Oh, they're not giving Garcia a single.
• 2:56:55
  Speaker 14: They're charging Ramirez with an error. I don't know if
• 2:56:58
  Speaker 14: he gets him even if the ball hadn't squirted out
• 2:57:01
  Speaker 14: of his hands. The pitch, swung on, ripped. Fairly deep right,
• 2:57:06
  Speaker 14: but right there's Martinez to snag it.
• 2:57:09
  Speaker 1: That is outstanding.
• 2:57:10
  Speaker 14: Number two. So, two down. Runner at first, and the catcher,
• 2:57:23
  Speaker 14: JT Riomuto, off to a slow start. Riomuto, right-handed batter, hitting.
• 2:57:30
  Speaker 14: 212 with a homer, eight RBIs. Two down, runner at first,
