Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb on News Radio 570 WKBN. Why, it's
0:06
Speaker 1: a lovely day to say the least. Welcome to Thursday,
0:09
Speaker 1: July 30th.
0:10
Speaker 2: One more day. It's the end of July. Already we'll
0:12
Speaker 2: be into August. And before long, the Canfield Fair will
0:15
Speaker 2: be here. And then after that, it's all downhill. Fall
0:19
Speaker 2: is officially here, at least in our neck of the woods,
0:21
Speaker 2: once the fair comes to a conclusion at the end
0:24
Speaker 2: of August.
0:25
Speaker 3: All right.
0:26
Speaker 2: But anyway, we are nearing the final day of the
0:29
Speaker 2: month of July. 82 degrees. Sun is shining. It's a
0:32
Speaker 2: lovely day in our neck of the woods. Just a
0:34
Speaker 2: programming note. I will be on. Well, I'm going to
0:38
Speaker 2: take tomorrow off. I'm going to take a day off
0:40
Speaker 2: on Friday and I'm going to take Monday off as well.
0:43
Speaker 2: We'll return to the broadcast on Tuesday, August 4th.
0:46
Speaker 3: All right?
0:47
Speaker 2: So we'll be off tomorrow, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, obviously, and Monday.
0:51
Speaker 2: So there you go. And returning on Tuesday, August 4th,
0:55
Speaker 2: just as a programming note so you know what's going on.
0:58
Speaker 2: All right? Just to keep you in the loop. Sometimes
1:02
Speaker 2: your fearless leader needs to recharge your batteries, as they say,
1:05
Speaker 2: and take a break once in a while.
1:07
Speaker 4: Right?
1:08
Speaker 2: You're okay with that, right?
1:09
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
1:10
Speaker 2: Absolutely. All right, so let's see what awaits me here.
1:13
Speaker 2: We have The Legal Show at 5 today, being Thursday.
1:17
Speaker 2: John Arnold at 6. And you're on the air.
1:21
Speaker 3: Hello. Ron, good afternoon, sir.
1:24
Speaker 6: How are you?
1:24
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, it's Rich the Pharmacist. I'm well, Rich.
1:28
Speaker 2: What's on your mind today?
1:30
Speaker 3: Well, I had to work yesterday. I worked a 12-hour
1:32
Speaker 3: shift yesterday. So this morning when I get up and
1:34
Speaker 3: I read the news, I put on your podcast, which
1:36
Speaker 3: incidentally is a fantastic way. If you can't listen during
1:40
Speaker 3: your program, the podcast is outstanding. And the best part
1:44
Speaker 3: about it is, in my opinion, there's a little button
1:47
Speaker 3: that lets you fast-forward at 30-second intervals. So when, like,
1:52
Speaker 3: Frankie and I semi-gets on or JJ gets on, I
1:54
Speaker 3: just keep hitting the 30-second button until they're gone.
1:56
Speaker 2: Well, now... You know, that's not nice. All right.
2:03
Speaker 3: Well, it's true, though. I mean, you know, there's people
2:05
Speaker 3: I want to listen to and people I don't want
2:07
Speaker 3: to listen to. You know, if there's somebody I don't like,
2:09
Speaker 3: people don't like me.
2:10
Speaker 2: But there's always a 30-second button, so I'm gone. Well,
2:13
Speaker 2: there had to be callers you liked, too, I hope, yesterday.
2:16
Speaker 7: Oh, absolutely.
2:18
Speaker 3: And two of them starting— the first hour was good. The
2:21
Speaker 3: second hour, the 4 o'clock hour, was outstanding because— You
2:25
Speaker 3: had the boss lady on, and you had Denise, the
2:28
Speaker 3: lady that's collecting all the signatures to get the property
2:32
Speaker 3: tax repeal. And one of them had told me they
2:37
Speaker 3: sent me the Poland Township trustee video, which I think
2:40
Speaker 3: I forwarded to you.
2:41
Speaker 2: Yes.
2:42
Speaker 3: And if you start listening to that, how disturbing and
2:47
Speaker 3: angry do you start getting at the fact that these
2:51
Speaker 3: morons are running this township into the ground? I mean,
2:56
Speaker 3: I don't understand how you can be like, Eric, I'm here.
2:59
Speaker 3: It's been there, what, 12 years or something like that?
3:02
Speaker 3: He's been there a long time. How do you let
3:04
Speaker 3: the township get into the fiscal condition it's in where
3:07
Speaker 3: you're not going to be able to make payroll the
3:08
Speaker 3: first week of August, most likely? Right. But you went
3:13
Speaker 3: out and bought a $ 75, 000 brand-new Chevy Tahoe, which you
3:16
Speaker 3: then couldn't afford to equip, so now you've got to
3:19
Speaker 3: sell it. I mean, it just gets me. It blows
3:23
Speaker 3: my mind. how poorly run many of these places are. Now,
3:29
Speaker 3: that said, you know, I go to my, and this
3:32
Speaker 3: is why, in all honesty, if people in this audience
3:36
Speaker 3: do nothing else, at least once or twice a year,
3:39
Speaker 3: if you live in a township, go to your trustees meetings,
3:41
Speaker 3: go to a school board meeting, go to a village
3:44
Speaker 3: or city council meeting, or go on their website and
3:48
Speaker 3: find out what's going on. Now, one of the things
3:51
Speaker 3: that's bothering me is the Mahoning County Board of Developmental Disabilities,
3:57
Speaker 3: or basically Leonard Kurtz, and they take care of the
4:00
Speaker 3: people that are mentally challenged, physically handicapped, things like that,
4:04
Speaker 3: which I think.
4:05
Speaker 7: All of us..
4:06
Speaker 3: Would agree. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a
4:09
Speaker 3: heartless soul in your listening audience that doesn't think that
4:12
Speaker 3: as healthy, productive citizens, we have a duty to take
4:17
Speaker 3: care of those less fortunate than us. Correct?
4:19
Speaker 2: Okay.
4:21
Speaker 3: But you go onto their website. I've never been on
4:24
Speaker 3: their website. So this morning, I'm messing around, and I
4:26
Speaker 3: go on their website, and I start fooling around. And
4:29
Speaker 3: they have something, it's a one, two, three, it's the
4:32
Speaker 3: fourth item over on the head mask, the head part
4:36
Speaker 3: of their website. It says supplemental trust services. And this
4:41
Speaker 3: is something that they provide. It's a trust that has money,
4:44
Speaker 3: that had money. Now, it says right when you click
4:47
Speaker 3: on that, please note funds have been exhausted and this
4:50
Speaker 3: program is paused until, if and until more funds are
4:53
Speaker 3: made available. And can I read you some of the
4:57
Speaker 3: criteria and some of the supplemental services that this fund
5:02
Speaker 3: provides for? Because I think people, before you just go
5:07
Speaker 3: and say, oh, you know, these are unfortunate people. We
5:10
Speaker 3: really need to just, because I think everybody when it
5:12
Speaker 3: comes to these levies just says yes. Oh, it's for
5:15
Speaker 3: the disabled. It's for, you know, bleeding heart. Just check yes.
5:21
Speaker 3: This fund is actually set up by the Ohio Revised Code,
5:25
Speaker 3: Section 5815.28, which I have not gotten to yet. I
5:28
Speaker 3: haven't had a chance to go to the ORC and
5:30
Speaker 3: look that law up yet, but I plan to. But
5:33
Speaker 3: this money, it says supplemental services which meet the criteria
5:37
Speaker 3: outlined above may include but are not limited to, one,
5:41
Speaker 3: reimbursement for attendance or participation in recreational or cultural events. Two,
5:46
Speaker 3: travel and vacations. Three, participation in hobbies, sports, or other activities.
5:51
Speaker 3: For items beyond necessary, food and clothing. Example, funds for
5:55
Speaker 3: dining out occasionally, for special foods periodically delivered, or for
5:59
Speaker 3: an article of clothing such as a coat which is
6:00
Speaker 3: a quote extra, but which is desirable because it is
6:04
Speaker 3: newer or more stylish. Cosmetic, extraordinary, experimental, or elective medical
6:09
Speaker 3: or dental care. Visiting with friends or family. Exercise equipment
6:13
Speaker 3: or special medical equipment. The difference in rent between a
6:16
Speaker 3: shared bedroom and a private bedroom. equipment or services for
6:21
Speaker 3: the individual's private use, such as telephones, smartphones, cable television, televisions, radios, cameras, computers,
6:27
Speaker 3: computer software, internet service, video recorders, and video games. Membership
6:31
Speaker 3: in clubs or other organizations, such as book clubs, health clubs,
6:34
Speaker 3: community organizations.
6:36
Speaker 8: It goes on.
6:37
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not going to take up time to
6:38
Speaker 3: read all of them. There's 23 items. The 23 is
6:41
Speaker 3: the last thing it says it pays for. This is wonderful.
6:45
Speaker 3: Other expenditures used to provide dignity, purpose, optimism, and joy
6:50
Speaker 3: to the beneficiary of a supplemental services trust. Sign me up.
6:59
Speaker 3: How do I become eligible so that I can get this?
7:03
Speaker 3: Because this is all stuff that the people in your
7:06
Speaker 3: audience are paying taxes for To go out and provide,
7:09
Speaker 3: and none of this is required, in my opinion. You
7:13
Speaker 3: disagree with me.
7:14
Speaker 2: Now, who's the beneficiary of this stuff?
7:18
Speaker 3: The beneficiary would be, I guess, the disabled person and
7:21
Speaker 3: or their family.
7:22
Speaker 2: All right, and they are entitled, not entitled, they can
7:26
Speaker 2: get all of this stuff paid for by someone else.
7:30
Speaker 2: All right, and now is that tax dollars or is
7:32
Speaker 2: that money that was set aside by someone else?
7:37
Speaker 3: It doesn't say that this is like donations, like, you know,
7:41
Speaker 3: Ron and Rich decide that we were going to write
7:43
Speaker 3: a check for $ 100 to them so that they can
7:46
Speaker 3: do this stuff. I would assume, I mean, and I
7:48
Speaker 3: don't know this for a fact, but I would assume
7:50
Speaker 3: that somehow our tax money, whether it's federal, state, local, whatever,
7:54
Speaker 3: you know, it's all our money in the end. But
7:57
Speaker 3: somehow tax money is getting used to fund this. And
8:02
Speaker 3: I don't mind. Like I've said, I 100% support helping
8:08
Speaker 3: these people so that they can have some type of
8:10
Speaker 3: a dignified life. But where do you draw the line
8:14
Speaker 3: on this? This is why these NGOs are getting so big,
8:20
Speaker 3: and this is why so many people... If you talk
8:22
Speaker 3: to any teacher in the last 20.
8:24
Speaker 7: Probably more than 20 years..
8:29
Speaker 3: The increase in the number of students who are getting
8:33
Speaker 3: what they call identified so that they can get supplemental
8:39
Speaker 3: services is just astronomical. Everybody's trying to get their kid.
8:44
Speaker 3: It's called an individual education plan, an education, an IEP.
8:48
Speaker 3: And the number of kids that are getting identified, you know,
8:51
Speaker 3: that go out to one of my other favorite organizations,
8:54
Speaker 3: Mahoney County Educational Service Center, That's the other organization, another
8:58
Speaker 3: county organization that just spends untold amount of our money
9:03
Speaker 3: on a lot of things that, in my opinion, are
9:05
Speaker 3: just nonsense. A lot of the stuff that is supposedly
9:08
Speaker 3: educational is just ridiculous. And people in your audience need
9:13
Speaker 3: to start going out and looking at some of these
9:16
Speaker 3: organizations that your tax money is flowing into. Because I
9:22
Speaker 3: went on Meacham's site today, and I looked. My property
9:27
Speaker 3: value went from $ 411 to $ 491. It was a 20% increase,
9:31
Speaker 3: which means thank you, Dave Thomas. I'm not going to
9:34
Speaker 3: see that 20% increase on the main side millage. I'm
9:36
Speaker 3: going to get whatever the inflation rate was last year.
9:39
Speaker 3: They'll be allowed to collect, and hopefully I can convince
9:42
Speaker 3: my trustees and my school board not to take it.
9:46
Speaker 3: The chance I'm going to get the county... you know,
9:48
Speaker 3: Gino and the other two commissioners to say they're not
9:51
Speaker 3: going to take the increase inside millage, good luck with that. Because,
9:55
Speaker 3: you know, none of these organizations ever have enough of
9:58
Speaker 3: your money.
9:59
Speaker 8: Right.
10:00
Speaker 3: But I started looking at this, and I'm just like,
10:03
Speaker 3: you know, and I believe somebody said on your program
10:07
Speaker 3: that this particular organization went from, what, roughly a $ 60
10:11
Speaker 3: million a year budget to now needing $ 100 million a year? Right.
10:15
Speaker 8: Right.
10:18
Speaker 3: Well, when you look at this supplemental trust service, it's
10:20
Speaker 3: no wonder. You're buying cell phones and televisions and TV
10:25
Speaker 3: subscriptions and coats. I mean, I'm sorry. At what point
10:30
Speaker 3: do we as a taxpayer get to share in some
10:34
Speaker 3: of the same services that these people get? Because you're
10:39
Speaker 3: providing them with stuff that are, you know, are luxuries
10:43
Speaker 3: for a lot of us vacations. I mean, at what
10:46
Speaker 3: point do you, do you pay for a travel or
10:49
Speaker 3: vacation for somebody that's getting public assistance? I just don't
10:56
Speaker 3: understand it. And the more that I dig into government
10:58
Speaker 3: and like I've told you, if this is how bad
11:01
Speaker 3: you're getting screwed by these organizations at the local level,
11:07
Speaker 3: can you imagine going down to Columbus and, Go down
11:09
Speaker 3: to Washington, D.C. I can't even fathom it. It's why
11:12
Speaker 3: we are $ 40 trillion and climbing in debt.
11:15
Speaker 2: Well, we saw some of it with Elon Musk in
11:17
Speaker 2: that Doge program, but they ran him out of town
11:20
Speaker 2: and they stopped that, obviously.
11:22
Speaker 3: And that's the problem. I think, like, G2, your program
11:25
Speaker 3: yesterday was outstanding, by the way. It was, I mean,
11:28
Speaker 3: it was between... Boss Lady, Denise, G2, and I think
11:35
Speaker 3: it was G2 that said something like, it was talking
11:39
Speaker 3: about the growth of these programs, but if you go
11:41
Speaker 3: after them, if you're somebody like us that says, hey,
11:44
Speaker 3: why are we paying for vacations? Why are we using
11:46
Speaker 3: taxpayer money to provide vacations to people? All of a sudden,
11:51
Speaker 3: or if you're going after, we need to cut jobs.
11:55
Speaker 3: This place is fat. The payroll here is way, way
11:57
Speaker 3: out of line. We need to cut jobs. You become
12:00
Speaker 3: enemy number one. And I can tell you that because
12:03
Speaker 3: go to a school board meeting and start saying you
12:04
Speaker 3: have too many employees. You will be called everything but
12:07
Speaker 3: a responsible citizen. And they will come after you because
12:11
Speaker 3: I've done it. Believe me. They will come after you,
12:14
Speaker 3: and they will come.
12:15
Speaker 9: After your family.
12:15
Speaker 2: Right. Here's the reality. There's no end in sight to this.
12:19
Speaker 2: That's why I say they will not be happy until
12:21
Speaker 2: they have all of your money. I mean, until they
12:24
Speaker 2: have all of your money, it will never be enough.
12:26
Speaker 2: So your only answer, and I do mean your only answer,
12:29
Speaker 2: is sign those petitions that Denise has out there. Get
12:32
Speaker 2: that constitutional amendment on the ballots to do away with
12:35
Speaker 2: property taxes. Because if you don't, You will be priced
12:40
Speaker 2: out of your home. It's just a matter of time.
12:43
Speaker 2: Whether as you get older and retire, you'll be priced
12:46
Speaker 2: out of it, or you'll be priced out of it
12:47
Speaker 2: during your working years when the taxes continue to go
12:50
Speaker 2: up beyond the rate of inflation, and you'll be priced
12:54
Speaker 2: out of it. I'm just telling you right now, pay
12:57
Speaker 2: attention to this stuff. The more money they get, the
13:00
Speaker 2: more they spend, the more they grow. You don't hear
13:03
Speaker 2: about cuts. You don't hear about turning it down. You
13:06
Speaker 2: don't hear the DeSantis mentality in Florida. We're spending less
13:09
Speaker 2: this year than we did last year. And we spent
13:11
Speaker 2: less last year than we did the year before that.
13:14
Speaker 2: You don't hear that mentality here in Mahoning County. You
13:17
Speaker 2: hear more money, more government, more programs, less for you.
13:22
Speaker 2: That's what you have.
13:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, we need to go wreck a perfectly good building
13:26
Speaker 3: in downtown Youngstown and build a new $ 60 million county
13:31
Speaker 3: Taj Mahal.
13:32
Speaker 2: And were you asked about it? Was your input important?
13:35
Speaker 2: You'll get the bonds. You'll get the bill for that facility,
13:39
Speaker 2: but you have no input in it. No input whatsoever
13:42
Speaker 2: as far as the crazy location, the parking, and the
13:46
Speaker 2: nonsense that's going on. But, you know, Gino was more
13:50
Speaker 2: interested in that facility than he was in doing stuff
13:53
Speaker 2: for the average taxpayer. I mean, he ran as a Republican,
13:58
Speaker 2: but his main agenda all had to do with the
14:01
Speaker 2: old Southside Hospital. And so he put the county in debt.
14:05
Speaker 2: And if you vote him out of office, you'll still
14:07
Speaker 2: be stuck with that building and that debt without having
14:10
Speaker 2: a single say so on it. Bad location, bad investments,
14:14
Speaker 2: bad idea, period. But you don't have a say so.
14:18
Speaker 2: Shut up. Here's the bill. Pay the bonds. See you later.
14:24
Speaker 3: And you can go, if you go look up your
14:27
Speaker 3: property tax on the auditor's website, it breaks it down.
14:32
Speaker 3: If you scroll down, it breaks it down and shows
14:34
Speaker 3: you where all your money goes. The schools get the overwhelming.
14:36
Speaker 3: The schools, like in my case, my Beaver Township, gets
14:39
Speaker 3: the overwhelming, probably 70% of it. But one of the
14:42
Speaker 3: things that's on there is county bond retirement. So what
14:45
Speaker 3: do you think happens when they build the $ 60 million
14:48
Speaker 3: Mahoning Taj Mahal? What do you think is going to
14:51
Speaker 3: happen to the county bond retirement? Is it going to
14:53
Speaker 3: need more or less of our tax money for county
14:56
Speaker 3: bond retirement?
14:59
Speaker 2: Right.
15:00
Speaker 3: There's a lot more of our money. And here's the
15:03
Speaker 3: other thing. This is the canary in the coal mine.
15:07
Speaker 3: If you look over the last several months, I think
15:10
Speaker 3: Boardman Township, Poland Township, Canfield School District, you're starting to
15:14
Speaker 3: see all these little local fiefdoms say, we are running
15:17
Speaker 3: out of money. We need to put a new levy on.
15:19
Speaker 3: Canfield's asking for one. Boardman's asking for one. Poland, I think,
15:23
Speaker 3: is late. I don't even think, like Denise said yesterday,
15:25
Speaker 3: I don't even think they're going to be able to
15:26
Speaker 3: make it because they don't have enough time to get one.
15:28
Speaker 2: Stand by for one minute. Back with Rich and more
15:30
Speaker 2: of your calls ahead. Well, I've told you many times,

16:05
Speaker 10: Transform your bathroom with a new walk-in.
16:08
Speaker 2: WKBN. All right, so I go to the auditor's site,
16:11
Speaker 2: and I scroll to the bottom, as you say, right?
16:14
Speaker 3: Yep.
16:15
Speaker 2: Pick up your property. And it shows you where all
16:20
Speaker 2: your taxes go.
16:21
Speaker 6: Yep.
16:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.
16:24
Speaker 3: There's a breakdown.
16:24
Speaker 2: Yep. Total for Verb Manor, $ 4, 764. $ 4, 764.
16:31
Speaker 3: I'm around $ 7, 200, I believe. Yeah, $ 4, 764, which is ridiculous.
16:32
Speaker 2: Let's see, the schools get $ 2, 311 a year from me. Yeah,
16:42
Speaker 2: the township gets $ 1, 451 a year from me. The metro
16:45
Speaker 2: parks get $ 105 a year from me. The children's services
16:48
Speaker 2: get $ 215. Developmental disabilities, $ 221. The library, $ 135. Mental health, $ 75.
16:49
Speaker 6: The TB, $ 2.
16:49
Speaker 3: 12.
16:49
Speaker 2: Let's see, the county bond retirement, $ 22. The county general fund, $ 160.
16:51
Speaker 2: And senior citizens, $ 62. You add it all up, it's
17:14
Speaker 2: $ 4, 764 is what they show right there. It's ridiculous. What
17:22
Speaker 2: did it used to be? I've got to go back.
17:27
Speaker 2: It's just interesting. You can see how it's grown over
17:30
Speaker 2: the years. It's just ridiculous.
17:31
Speaker 3: But here's the problem. Here's the problem. Like I said,
17:34
Speaker 3: you see it in Canfield, Boardman, Polk. All of these
17:37
Speaker 3: places are running out of money.
17:38
Speaker 8: Yep.
17:39
Speaker 3: The snowballs have started to come down the mountainside and
17:42
Speaker 3: are gaining momentum and speed. The financial avalanche that is
17:47
Speaker 3: going to hit these organizations over the next couple of years,
17:50
Speaker 3: they are not prepared for. They should have been tightening
17:53
Speaker 3: their belts. And the reason we've gotten through the last
17:56
Speaker 3: four or five years okay is because of all the
17:58
Speaker 3: federal money that Biden threw into the economy and at
18:03
Speaker 3: these people. Mahoney County got, what, $ 46 million. City of Youngstown,
18:07
Speaker 3: there's a great one. What was it, $ 83, $ 84 million?
18:11
Speaker 3: What do we have to show for the $ 84 million
18:14
Speaker 3: the imbeciles that run the city of Youngstown pissed away
18:18
Speaker 3: over the last three, four, five years? Name me one
18:22
Speaker 3: thing you can point to that says, oh, that was
18:25
Speaker 3: a great way to spend your Biden bucks. I can't
18:28
Speaker 3: think of anything. I can't think of anything in the
18:30
Speaker 3: area that we spent federal money on that was from
18:34
Speaker 3: that appropriation that was supposedly for COVID. I can't think
18:40
Speaker 3: of anything that we spent our money on that was
18:43
Speaker 3: a worthwhile expenditure.
18:44
Speaker 2: All you've got to do is, like you said, look
18:47
Speaker 2: at Poland Township where they're struggling to have enough money
18:50
Speaker 2: to pay their cops. And when you listen to that meeting,
18:54
Speaker 2: it was like, well, what do we do here? What
18:58
Speaker 2: do we spend here?
18:58
Speaker 6: What do we do there?
18:59
Speaker 2: Well, maybe you shouldn't have done that stuff. I mean,
19:01
Speaker 2: you don't have enough money to function as Poland Township.
19:05
Speaker 2: But then again, on the other hand, take a look.
19:07
Speaker 2: Can you imagine if you once again, if you live
19:08
Speaker 2: in the city of Canfield and you're facing a significant
19:12
Speaker 2: mill as far as the school levy is concerned and
19:16
Speaker 2: this MRDD levy nonsense. So both of those would pass.
19:20
Speaker 2: We can price a lot of people out of their
19:22
Speaker 2: homes in Canfield. I mean, there's no doubt in my mind.
19:25
Speaker 2: And I'm not just talking the elderly. I'm talking everybody
19:28
Speaker 2: in between. It is utter insanity. And I say it again.
19:31
Speaker 2: It will never be enough till they have all of
19:33
Speaker 2: your money. Wake up. That's all I got.
19:36
Speaker 3: It has to stop. It absolutely has to stop. And
19:41
Speaker 3: I mean, like I've said, I have three healthy kids.
19:44
Speaker 3: We stopped after the third because I didn't want to
19:46
Speaker 3: risk it. And I feel, I can't imagine. what it's
19:50
Speaker 3: like to have to raise a child that has physical,
19:54
Speaker 3: mental disability type needs. And I feel for those people.
19:58
Speaker 2: But you know, the taxpayers can't cover everything. I mean,
20:02
Speaker 2: everything's got to learn to be more efficient. You can
20:04
Speaker 2: only do so much.
20:06
Speaker 3: And I have no problem providing these people with assistance,
20:09
Speaker 3: but where does it end? Where do you stop? If
20:13
Speaker 3: you look up in Minnesota, what were they doing? They
20:16
Speaker 3: were trying to sign up as many people as they
20:18
Speaker 3: could with autism. People were telling you, go get an
20:22
Speaker 3: autism diagnosis. They probably took them to a phony doctor
20:25
Speaker 3: who said, oh, yeah, this kid has autism, so that
20:27
Speaker 3: they could get them on the dole and start collecting
20:29
Speaker 3: funds from the government. It's a grift. And I feel
20:34
Speaker 3: sorry for the legitimate people out there because, like I've said,
20:37
Speaker 3: I can't imagine having a special needs child or a
20:41
Speaker 3: special needs adult as they grow older, what have you.
20:44
Speaker 3: But there is so much waste, fraud, and abuse in
20:47
Speaker 3: these government programs that needs rooted out. And there's so
20:52
Speaker 3: many benefits that these things provide that you and I,
20:55
Speaker 3: we can't afford a lot of this stuff.
20:58
Speaker 2: The people you're listening to on this How.
21:00
Speaker 7: Many people take a vacation every year that the government
21:02
Speaker 7: pays for?
21:03
Speaker 2: You get a vote on it, I suggest you vote
21:05
Speaker 2: against it. I genuinely do.
21:07
Speaker 3: It's got to go down.
21:08
Speaker 7: This MRDD levy has.
21:10
Speaker 4: To go down.
21:10
Speaker 3: A message needs to be sent.
21:12
Speaker 2: I will not vote for it. Thank you, Rich. Appreciate it.

21:25
Speaker 1: A house explosion early this morning in Kansas leaving two
21:31
Speaker 1: people severely.
21:32
Speaker 11: Burned and injured. The explosion caught on a ring camera
21:39
Speaker 11: in the 1600 block of Bonnet Road northeast around 4
21:42
Speaker 11: o'clock completely destroying the home. One victim found in the
21:45
Speaker 11: street with severe burns and traumatic injuries after being thrown
21:47
Speaker 11: from the home by the explosion. The other victim found
21:49
Speaker 11: a block over before 8.30. A natural gas leak said
21:52
Speaker 11: to have been the cause, but the cause of the
21:54
Speaker 11: leak and where it came from are still under investigation.
21:57
Speaker 11: A police officer in Alliance entering into a plea deal,
22:00
Speaker 11: admitting to OVI and obstructing official business, sentenced to one
22:03
Speaker 11: year of probation and will pay a fine. Sergeant Ethan
22:06
Speaker 11: Griffin is said to have struck a pole in Austintown
22:08
Speaker 11: last month and then tried to flee on foot before
22:10
Speaker 11: he eventually surrendered. In a separate case, Griffin was arrested Tuesday,
22:14
Speaker 11: now charged with felony child endangerment.

Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
22:36
Speaker 2: And you're on the air.
22:36
Speaker 9: I like the way you guys are going there. That
22:42
Speaker 9: people got to do something.
22:44
Speaker 2: But they won't.
22:45
Speaker 9: I appreciate it.
22:46
Speaker 2: I mean, they absolutely will not. Here's what here's what
22:51
Speaker 2: people need to do. They need to go out and
22:52
Speaker 2: vote no on this stuff. They need to vote no
22:55
Speaker 2: on MRDD. They need to vote no on on this
22:58
Speaker 2: because I was just looking at my my yearly taxes
23:02
Speaker 2: in 2023. There were four thousand four hundred seventy six
23:05
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four.
23:06
Speaker 11: $ 4, 547.
23:06
Speaker 6: 2025, $ 4, 764.
23:07
Speaker 2: So they go up a couple hundred a year, basically.
23:08
Speaker 2: And so now the next step is going to be
23:10
Speaker 2: just shy of $ 5, 000 a year.
23:10
Speaker 12: Every year.
23:11
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just, it's insane. It is, and it's everything.
23:29
Speaker 9: And you know what?
23:31
Speaker 5: That's why.
23:32
Speaker 2: Well, I just looked at it right here. So let's see.
23:35
Speaker 2: So next year, it's beyond $ 5, 000. It's $ 5, 092 is where
23:38
Speaker 2: that will be first for the year. Does that seem right?
23:42
Speaker 2: Let me see. I got to look at this. I
23:43
Speaker 2: got to pay. No, I know. I stand corrected. So
23:59
Speaker 2: it's going to be 4764. That's for what year?
24:04
Speaker 4: 2025.
24:04
Speaker 2: Okay. Never mind. It's going to be 2026. I can
24:10
Speaker 2: hardly wait.
24:14
Speaker 9: No, and I believe you get a take by Dennis
24:18
Speaker 9: Prager from Prager University. So there's three types of people
24:25
Speaker 9: out there, the fighters, those who help the fighters, and
24:28
Speaker 9: those who do nothing. And luckily, right, you got Denise
24:34
Speaker 9: over there doing her thing, and she's a fighter. And
24:37
Speaker 9: you got some people helping her, maybe like you. You
24:42
Speaker 9: got to get it done. And I think, you can
24:47
Speaker 9: disagree with me if you would like, I think the
24:51
Speaker 9: Trump administration and his moves on boys not beating up
24:56
Speaker 9: girls in girls' sports. I'd say the border. I'd say
25:03
Speaker 9: the waste, fraud, and abuse that he talked about in
25:05
Speaker 9: 2016 and people made fun of him. There's no waste, fraud,
25:08
Speaker 9: and abuse.
25:10
Speaker 2: Okay.
25:11
Speaker 9: Hey, another fighter, Ben Shapiro, sending his people to Columbus
25:16
Speaker 9: and finding all the fraud down there. I don't know.
25:20
Speaker 9: Is it take a village? It takes something. It takes
25:23
Speaker 9: a group of people. It takes more than one. Because
25:27
Speaker 9: if Trump did everything he wanted to do, that's fine.
25:31
Speaker 9: But now he has the backup. Now he has the
25:37
Speaker 9: DOJ saying, yeah, mutilate those children, you perverts, and you're
25:42
Speaker 9: going to jail. And, again, we've lived through who, what's
25:50
Speaker 9: his name, John Kasich and Mitt Romney and all the
25:54
Speaker 9: rest of them. You know, quote, unquote, Republicans. But they
25:59
Speaker 9: did nothing. Name a policy. Trump's policies are everything. He's getting,
26:06
Speaker 9: you know, you do it every day, and that's fine.
26:09
Speaker 9: It's not my favorite thing to go to Iran. All
26:13
Speaker 9: I'm saying is, My glass is two-thirds full because of
26:17
Speaker 9: all the things going on. That lady in Minnesota, jail,
26:23
Speaker 9: 40 years. That's never happened before for waste, fraud, and abuse.
26:28
Speaker 9: Forty years, just like Rich was talking about. They try
26:32
Speaker 9: to get more and more people, right? Sign them up.
26:35
Speaker 9: Sign them up. They're autistic. And you're stealing money from
26:38
Speaker 9: actual autistic people.
26:40
Speaker 13: Well..
26:41
Speaker 9: You know what? With this administration, it's changing. And if
26:47
Speaker 9: we can get more done and have, whatever, two and
26:52
Speaker 9: a half more years, congratulations. Because, again, I think overall,
27:01
Speaker 9: Trump gets a passing grade. The administration, everybody that backs
27:05
Speaker 9: him up, Marco Rubio, You know, like you keep pointing
27:11
Speaker 9: out what DeSantis is doing. You know whose team DeSantis
27:14
Speaker 9: is on? It's the same team. So this non-establishment Republican
27:21
Speaker 9: wing is doing amazing things day after day after day,
27:29
Speaker 9: the day after we watched Fauci squirm in his seat
27:33
Speaker 9: and look like he was constipated. Because you need to
27:38
Speaker 9: point it out. And people are, well, I don't want
27:41
Speaker 9: to go back over. You know what? Sorry that you
27:43
Speaker 9: don't want to go back over. You have to. You
27:47
Speaker 9: have to point out. People don't know. Half the people
27:50
Speaker 9: aren't believing. Another quarter of the people just don't know
27:55
Speaker 9: what actually went on. And the beauty of America is this.
28:02
Speaker 9: The different sheriffs, because they're elected, they're different than the
28:06
Speaker 9: regular police. They said, yeah, we're not enforcing those ridiculous
28:12
Speaker 9: China virus mandates. And I think I can say China
28:16
Speaker 9: virus now because we know where it came from. Oops.
28:19
Speaker 9: Maybe you shouldn't have been writing a diary, a 14-year-old girl.
28:23
Speaker 9: But me and my wife went to the Grandview Tavern,
28:28
Speaker 9: Lake Milton. And it had the sign on the door, hey, caution,
28:33
Speaker 9: China virus, do this, do that, have plexiglass and a mask.
28:38
Speaker 9: And me and my wife were like, I guess we're
28:41
Speaker 9: going to put a mask on. And we opened the
28:43
Speaker 9: door and walked in there. We were the only ones
28:46
Speaker 9: with a mask on, and everybody looked at us. And
28:48
Speaker 9: we're like, no, no, no, we're regular humans. We just
28:51
Speaker 9: saw the sign on the door that said you had
28:53
Speaker 9: to do this. We didn't know the rules were different.
28:56
Speaker 9: on the inside of this door. I appreciate you put
28:59
Speaker 9: it up for the, I don't know, local constable or somebody,
29:04
Speaker 9: but it was the same thing in Pennsylvania. When you
29:07
Speaker 9: went out of Allegheny County, it looked like COVID never happened.
29:14
Speaker 8: But..
29:15
Speaker 9: The state's in control. They shut down the beaches at
29:19
Speaker 9: Presque Isle up in Erie because we had a Democrat
29:22
Speaker 9: governor marching with Black Lives Matter members and saying, look,
29:28
Speaker 9: to comply with COVID regulations, the beaches at Presque Isle
29:35
Speaker 9: will be like this. Beach 1 is open. Beach 2
29:39
Speaker 9: is closed.
29:40
Speaker 3: Beach 3 is open. Beach 4 is closed.
29:42
Speaker 9: And so on and so forth. And I'm like, wait,
29:45
Speaker 9: if you wanted people further apart from each other... Wouldn't
29:50
Speaker 9: you have all.
29:51
Speaker 2: The beaches open? The whole Fauci thing was just the
29:55
Speaker 2: utmost in arrogance that you saw yesterday. I mean, obviously,
29:58
Speaker 2: he's got this pardon from Biden. So let's be realistic.
30:03
Speaker 2: No one's going to be held accountable for this. Which
30:05
Speaker 2: is just frightening to me. China's not going to be
30:08
Speaker 2: held accountable for the gain of Function Lab. Fauci's not
30:12
Speaker 2: going to be held accountable. Fauci is sheer evil. Fauci
30:15
Speaker 2: was funding this stuff. Fauci, with his diary or whatever
30:18
Speaker 2: you want to call it, his notes. So you find
30:21
Speaker 2: out from his notes that Fauci was saying one thing
30:24
Speaker 2: in public and a different thing in his notebook. So
30:28
Speaker 2: he was contradicting himself. So he knew he was lying
30:32
Speaker 2: to you. About the mask, about the six-foot distancing, about
30:38
Speaker 2: he was lying about all this stuff, about him getting
30:40
Speaker 2: the vaccine, about him having some..
30:42
Speaker 13: He had a heart attack.
30:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, him having..
30:46
Speaker 13: He had a heart attack.
30:48
Speaker 9: That NFL player, DeMar Hamlin, right? He has the weirdest...
30:54
Speaker 9: heart attack ever. And he's a 25-year-old super athlete. He's
31:01
Speaker 9: the alpha athlete. And in front of everybody's eyes, all
31:06
Speaker 9: over America and the world, he falls on his back,
31:09
Speaker 9: dying on the field.
31:11
Speaker 2: You're right.
31:11
Speaker 9: What?
31:12
Speaker 2: You're right.
31:12
Speaker 9: What happened? And then they all lied to us.
31:16
Speaker 2: No, no, no.
31:17
Speaker 9: It's not from the shot. It's not from the back.
31:20
Speaker 9: Guess what? 99.9% it is from the shot. And I
31:25
Speaker 9: got the shot. I'm not saying everybody dies from it.
31:28
Speaker 9: I'm saying if Fauci and DeMar Hamlin fell on the
31:32
Speaker 9: floor and had to go to the hospital, and then
31:35
Speaker 9: the creepiest part is Fauci never told us that he
31:38
Speaker 9: went to the hospital.
31:40
Speaker 2: Well, like he got the Moderna. Moderma shot or Moderma.
31:44
Speaker 2: He got that shot and he had complications for it
31:46
Speaker 2: and he got COVID, but he, but you never knew that,
31:49
Speaker 2: you know, it now because of the diary, you know,
31:51
Speaker 2: that he was, he's evil. He was a liar. He
31:53
Speaker 2: was funding this and he will not be held accountable.
31:57
Speaker 2: And so he will get, he will totally get away
31:59
Speaker 2: with it. He will totally escape. The only good thing
32:02
Speaker 2: about what's going on. Is the information is getting out
32:05
Speaker 2: there so people that have an open mind can hear
32:07
Speaker 2: it and say, boy, how wrong this is. I don't
32:11
Speaker 2: understand any of the Democrats just totally ignoring it or
32:15
Speaker 2: going along with it. All Americans should be outraged at
32:18
Speaker 2: what Fauci did, what Fauci funded and the lies he
32:20
Speaker 2: told and the consequences that people suffered. Appreciate it, Jake.
32:25
Speaker 9: Thanks.
32:25
Speaker 6: All right.
32:25
Speaker 2: You're on the air. Hello.
32:29
Speaker 13: Yes.
32:30
Speaker 8: Yes.
32:32
Speaker 3: I remember a COVID story.
32:34
Speaker 12: When I realized COVID, something was up. We all went
32:38
Speaker 12: through the mask and six-foot nonsense for a long time.
32:43
Speaker 12: I traveled down to Nashville, Tennessee with my mask, got
32:46
Speaker 12: off the plane. My wife, we're walking around. I looked
32:51
Speaker 12: at my wife. I said, notice anything different down here?
32:54
Speaker 12: She's like, nobody has a mask on.
32:56
Speaker 3: I go, yeah, you're right.
32:57
Speaker 12: We go out to dinner that night on Broadway, Friday night.
33:02
Speaker 12: Not a mask to be seen. Thousands of people.
33:04
Speaker 3: I look at my wife. I said, what is going on?
33:06
Speaker 12: From that moment on, I knew there was something going on,
33:09
Speaker 12: and I think we've all figured it out.
33:11
Speaker 3: Pretty sad.
33:12
Speaker 2: Well, once again, Fauci is evil. The lies, the deceptions,
33:17
Speaker 2: what he was saying publicly and what he was saying privately,
33:19
Speaker 2: and he will not be held accountable. That's the shame
33:24
Speaker 2: of all of it.
33:25
Speaker 12: A person will have zero responsibility for the lives that
33:29
Speaker 12: he affected and will continue to affect in the future.
33:32
Speaker 7: It's very sad.
33:33
Speaker 2: Have a great day, Ron. Thank you. Here's the reality.
33:36
Speaker 2: COVID is a real thing. COVID wasn't just a cold
33:42
Speaker 2: or any of this nonsense. COVID was created in this lab.
33:46
Speaker 2: It was a real thing. And it really did kill
33:49
Speaker 2: a lot of people. And those people died alone without
33:58
Speaker 2: their family members at their side in a hospital or
34:00
Speaker 2: a nursing home. Those people were denied care that could
34:05
Speaker 2: have been effective in helping them survive. Ivermectin, hydrochloroquine. Things
34:12
Speaker 2: that were effective but were blackballed because of the lies
34:16
Speaker 2: being told. The doctors that were fighting the battle were
34:21
Speaker 2: being blackballed and threatened. I don't care if you're a
34:28
Speaker 2: Democrat or Republican as an American. You need to know
34:33
Speaker 2: this information and you should be so offended by what's
34:37
Speaker 2: Fauci funded that this went to China and the cover-up
34:45
Speaker 2: that took place and the lies that took place and
34:49
Speaker 2: the fact that nobody is going to be held accountable
34:53
Speaker 2: for it.
34:54
Speaker 3: No one.
34:57
Speaker 2: Whether that's the complications from the vaccine or the complications
35:00
Speaker 2: and death from COVID. Because there are people that got
35:03
Speaker 2: COVID that didn't die that have long-term effects. So we
35:08
Speaker 2: know there are people that have COVID that have long-term effects.
35:12
Speaker 2: We know there are people that had the vaccine and
35:14
Speaker 2: had died and also have long-term effects. And I'm telling you,
35:22
Speaker 2: that guy to me is absolutely a creep. He is evil.
35:28
Speaker 2: And he will not pay a price for it at all.
35:32
Speaker 2: Joe Biden gave him a pardon, probably knowing that when
35:36
Speaker 2: he left office, this information would come out. And Fauci's
35:41
Speaker 2: like offended that his own thoughts are coming out that
35:44
Speaker 2: he wrote on government computers that contradict what he was
35:48
Speaker 2: saying publicly and show him to be the fraud and
35:50
Speaker 2: liar that he is. You're on the air.
35:56
Speaker 3: Hello.
35:57
Speaker 7: Hello, Ron.
35:58
Speaker 14: Yes.
35:59
Speaker 12: You're talking about the liar, the cheater, cost us money,
36:03
Speaker 12: cost us lives.
36:04
Speaker 8: Who are you talking about?
36:05
Speaker 2: You're talking about Trump? You could talk about Trump. You
36:09
Speaker 2: could talk about just about any politician. But in this case,
36:13
Speaker 2: I'm talking about Fauci.
36:16
Speaker 7: Oh, okay, because..
36:18
Speaker 8: The things that like G2 said, stuff like that about
36:21
Speaker 8: no inflation and it's Trump, not Fauci.
36:24
Speaker 2: Oh, no, there's huge inflation going on. And the inflation
36:28
Speaker 2: that's going on is because of this war and the
36:30
Speaker 2: decision that Trump made. And it's a big mistake. And
36:33
Speaker 2: I think it will come back to bite Trump and
36:34
Speaker 2: haunt Trump as it should. It was his decision. He
36:38
Speaker 2: made it. Well, you know, people can say, well, he
36:41
Speaker 2: was coaxed into it by Netanyahu or Israel or who
36:44
Speaker 2: knows if they have something on him. But he made
36:47
Speaker 2: the final decision to go down this road when we
36:49
Speaker 2: had gas prices down to 250. Things were going in
36:52
Speaker 2: the right direction. And in the blink of an eye,
36:54
Speaker 2: based on that decision, things got reversed for the worse.
36:58
Speaker 2: And now they're trying to say, how do we get
37:01
Speaker 2: out of this mess we created? And it is a
37:03
Speaker 2: mess that he created and it has added to inflation.
37:07
Speaker 2: Added on top of the inflation that we already had.
37:10
Speaker 2: It's a damn shame. But in this case, we're talking
37:12
Speaker 2: about the lies that Fauci was telling publicly and what
37:16
Speaker 2: he wrote privately and the people that died as a result.
37:20
Speaker 8: Well, again, I blame it on Trump because he's the
37:22
Speaker 8: one who hired.
37:23
Speaker 2: Fauci, right? No, I don't think he hired Fauci. I
37:26
Speaker 2: think Fauci's been in a career in that position for decades.
37:32
Speaker 12: But he was put to the top by Trump.
37:35
Speaker 2: I don't know if he split that top, and I
37:37
Speaker 2: think he was in charge of that organization. He's a doctor,
37:41
Speaker 2: but he's a career bureaucrat in that position for years
37:44
Speaker 2: and years and years.
37:45
Speaker 8: When it came to the COVID thing, though, who put him.
37:50
Speaker 12: In charge of that?
37:52
Speaker 2: No, he would be in charge of that, the National
37:54
Speaker 2: Institute of Health. I mean, he's in charge. They're in charge.
37:58
Speaker 2: That's what they do. I mean, the bottom line is, listen,
38:05
Speaker 2: I don't care what your– you can blame Trump for everything,
38:07
Speaker 2: but in this case, it's about Fauci. Fauci made these decisions,
38:11
Speaker 2: and Fauci did this stuff, and he will not be
38:14
Speaker 2: held accountable because he's been pardoned. So nothing will happen
38:18
Speaker 2: to him.
38:19
Speaker 6: Nothing.
38:19
Speaker 8: Did you hear about the guy down in– just went
38:22
Speaker 8: to Nashville, and they walked out, and there's all these
38:24
Speaker 8: people without wearing masks and all that stuff?
38:26
Speaker 3: Yeah.
38:26
Speaker 7: Yeah.
38:27
Speaker 2: He just called.
38:28
Speaker 3: It's their decision to wear masks.
38:30
Speaker 12: It's their decision to do this, that, and the other thing.
38:33
Speaker 8: So if they scare everybody, the politicians say, well, I'm
38:37
Speaker 8: going to close the school down, or I'm not going
38:38
Speaker 8: to do it here, or I'm going to do it online,
38:40
Speaker 8: or I'm going to do this. It was somebody else
38:42
Speaker 8: who made that decision. Now, Fauci said this, and everything's
38:46
Speaker 8: going to be fine, or it's really.
38:48
Speaker 9: Bad, and you can't do this.
38:50
Speaker 7: It's up to you whether you're going to pull the
38:52
Speaker 7: kids out of school on a snowy.
38:54
Speaker 8: Day or a COVID day or whatever you're.
38:57
Speaker 2: Going to do. So just so we get it clear, folks,
39:00
Speaker 2: after you saw yesterday's testimony, you don't think Fauci had
39:03
Speaker 2: anything to do with this? I want to clarify this
39:07
Speaker 2: to our listeners after we all saw what we saw
39:09
Speaker 2: take place yesterday. You don't think Fauci's responsible for any
39:13
Speaker 2: of this?
39:15
Speaker 3: Of course he is.
39:15
Speaker 8: So is every other politician that said, don't do this,
39:18
Speaker 8: don't do that.
39:18
Speaker 2: But who was in charge? Who was in charge? Who
39:22
Speaker 2: guided those decisions?
39:24
Speaker 7: I'm going to go with Trump.
39:25
Speaker 8: Because he could have fired Fauci any time. And Biden
39:28
Speaker 8: could have got rid of Fauci any time.
39:31
Speaker 2: But they didn't now, did they?
39:33
Speaker 8: No.
39:34
Speaker 2: So, okay. Thanks. I mean, that call's just bizarre. I
39:38
Speaker 2: don't even know how you can come to that conclusion
39:40
Speaker 2: after you watched Fauci yesterday. Back in a minute. Good
39:49
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning. Longstown's news, weather, and talk station, 570 WKBN. Oh, mercy.
39:55
Speaker 2: 3.55 in the afternoon. We're on Verb News Radio, 570 WKBN. Thursday,
40:00
Speaker 2: July 30th, 83 degrees, and you're on the air.
40:05
Speaker 4: Hey there, good afternoon.
40:06
Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
40:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, kicking back and forth pretty rough on that. Thought
40:11
Speaker 4: you walked into a kangaroo court. It should have never
40:16
Speaker 4: been Rand Paul. I think it would have ran smoother.
40:19
Speaker 4: But he pleaded the fifth. He can do that. But
40:23
Speaker 4: who's going to get stuck with the East Wing now?
40:28
Speaker 4: The taxpayers of the United States are going to get
40:31
Speaker 4: stuck paying for that East Wing. With all them people
40:33
Speaker 4: he said it was going to contribute to building.
40:35
Speaker 2: I've got to tell you, the least of my concerns,
40:37
Speaker 2: and I'm just going to be straightforward with you, is
40:40
Speaker 2: the East Wing. I don't want to say that it's insignificant,
40:45
Speaker 2: but it's insignificant. I am genuinely deeply disturbed by what
40:50
Speaker 2: I saw yesterday with Fauci. And Rand Paul has been
40:53
Speaker 2: on this all along because he is a doctor. And
40:56
Speaker 2: I think Rand Paul has an understanding of it. And
40:59
Speaker 2: so I don't think it was a kangaroo court. I
41:02
Speaker 2: think it's seeking the truth, which I think you deserve
41:06
Speaker 2: to know. So I think this is a vital thing to... unravel,
41:12
Speaker 2: even though nothing will come from it. But that is
41:15
Speaker 2: what I'm concerned about in this war in Iran is
41:18
Speaker 2: what I'm concerned about in where energy is headed. Now,
41:21
Speaker 2: those are the those are I hate to say it.
41:23
Speaker 2: Those are the only two things that that disturb me
41:25
Speaker 2: on a national level. But right now, on a national level,
41:29
Speaker 2: if I if I vented to you, I would say
41:31
Speaker 2: to you, I am one pissed off American based on
41:35
Speaker 2: Fauci and my government's And you've been around as long
41:40
Speaker 2: as I have. You remember the lies that took place
41:42
Speaker 2: during Vietnam and Agent Orange, do you not? When perfectly
41:47
Speaker 2: healthy people went and they came back with cancers that
41:50
Speaker 2: weren't in the family and the government denied for years.
41:53
Speaker 2: And you can remember it, that Agent Orange had anything
41:56
Speaker 2: to do with it. They denied it, these guys died,
41:59
Speaker 2: and they continued to deny it until they couldn't any longer.
42:03
Speaker 2: Do you remember that deception that was pulled back in
42:05
Speaker 2: those days?
42:06
Speaker 4: I have three friends that... Or in high school that
42:09
Speaker 4: died from it. And I understand what you're saying.
42:11
Speaker 2: All right. And now there's no doubt in my mind
42:17
Speaker 2: that what Fauci did killed a lot of people. COVID
42:23
Speaker 2: killed a lot of people. There's people with long-term effects
42:26
Speaker 2: from it. And the vaccine killed a lot of people
42:29
Speaker 2: and have a lot of long-term effects. And I'm telling
42:32
Speaker 2: you that man is evil. And he's going to get
42:36
Speaker 2: away with it. They're all going to get away with it.
42:40
Speaker 2: That's so damn deeply disturbing to me. I can't tell you.
42:46
Speaker 2: Stand by for me, all right? Just hang in there
42:47
Speaker 2: for a minute. I'll come back to him, pick up
42:49
Speaker 2: my conversation in a minute.
43:03
Speaker 15: From ABC News, I'm Wayne Cabot. The FBI says it's
43:07
Speaker 15: aware of cyber attacks this week at more than 30
43:10
Speaker 15: water plants across Minnesota. It does not confirm suspicions by
43:13
Speaker 15: some state and local investigators that Iranian hackers are to blame.
43:18
Speaker 15: As Iran and the U.S. intensify attacks on each other's forces,
43:21
Speaker 15: other Gulf nations are fending off more missiles.
43:24
Speaker 2: ABC's Matt Rivers in Jordan.
43:25
Speaker 16: When we're talking about regional escalation, these other countries might
43:29
Speaker 16: get dragged in simply as this conflict goes on. They're
43:32
Speaker 16: often faced with very little choice. Here in Jordan specifically,
43:35
Speaker 16: if you remember... In the beginning of the war, going
43:38
Speaker 16: back to late February, March, Jordan really didn't get targeted
43:40
Speaker 16: nearly as much as other countries. I'm thinking of the
43:42
Speaker 16: United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain. Those were the countries in
43:46
Speaker 16: the region that were getting hit a lot more frequently. Now,
43:49
Speaker 16: since the ceasefire really was shattered a few weeks ago,
43:52
Speaker 16: you have seen Jordan targeted in a way simply it
43:55
Speaker 16: was not before.
43:56
Speaker 15: Ukraine says that Russia used a North Korean missile for
43:59
Speaker 15: the first time in their latest strikes. What a difference
44:02
Speaker 15: a day makes on Wall Street. After a sell-off yesterday
44:05
Speaker 15: that was the biggest in over a year, the Dow
44:08
Speaker 15: up at the closing bell, 615 points, recovering more than
44:11
Speaker 15: half of its losses. President Trump may pull Todd Blanche's
44:15
Speaker 15: nomination for Attorney General to avoid conceding to Senate Republicans
44:19
Speaker 15: who want limits on the IRS immunity that he negotiated
44:23
Speaker 15: for himself and his family. Mandela Barnes dropping out of
44:26
Speaker 15: the Democratic primary for Wisconsin governor, shaking up that race
44:29
Speaker 15: less than two weeks before the election.
44:31
Speaker 2: A Georgia father is.
44:32
Speaker 15: Going to prison for ignoring warning signs before his son
44:36
Speaker 15: killed four people at Appalachee High School in Georgia in 2024.
44:40
Speaker 15: Judge Nicholas Prim giving the father, Colin Gray, 15 years.
44:43
Speaker 2: But for you failing to get cult help, but for.
44:47
Speaker 7: Your failure to remove access to the guns, this doesn't happen.
44:51
Speaker 2: September 4th would have been a normal day.
44:53
Speaker 15: The son used a rifle his dad gave him for
44:56
Speaker 15: Christmas to carry out the murders. You're listening to ABC News.
45:02
Speaker 2: If you haven't.
45:02
Speaker 17: Switched to PureTalk because you're not sure their coverage is
45:06

46:07
Speaker 15: most inside their home states.
46:09
Speaker 2: As for the rest... Here's ABC's Jim Ryan.
46:11
Speaker 19: U-Haul is out with its mid-year statistics on who's moving
46:14
Speaker 19: where based on one-way rentals of trucks and trailers. Baby
46:18
Speaker 19: boomers are flocking to the Carolinas, according to the moving company,
46:21
Speaker 19: while millennials and members of Gen X are headed to
46:23
Speaker 19: Texas and Florida. And Gen Z, people born between 1997
46:27
Speaker 19: and 2012, U-Haul says New York City was their top
46:31
Speaker 19: destination in the past year.
46:33
Speaker 15: Floodwaters that claimed lives in the Northeast where searches are
46:36
Speaker 15: still underway should soon be receding, says ABC meteorologist Leslie Lopez.
46:41
Speaker 20: We still have some rain in some of these areas. Now,
46:43
Speaker 20: I will say that most of the rain is much lighter,
46:45
Speaker 20: and the low-pressure center that had been pushing in all
46:48
Speaker 20: that heavy rain is exiting out of the area. So
46:51
Speaker 20: the good news is we're going to start to see
46:52
Speaker 20: those floodwaters recede.
46:53
Speaker 15: A search is on for a 10-year-old girl missing in
46:56
Speaker 15: the Passaic River in New Jersey. Searchers found the body
46:58
Speaker 15: of a boy of the same age. His 11-year-old sister
47:01
Speaker 15: was rescued. There will soon be a new way to
47:04
Speaker 15: get your food delivered faster. From the air. DoorDash just
47:10
Speaker 15: now got approval from the FAA to begin its own
47:12
Speaker 15: drone delivery service. DoorDash will be building its own aircraft
47:16
Speaker 15: to deliver the food or whatever is ordered. There is
47:19
Speaker 15: no timeline just yet on when this service will be operational.
47:23
Speaker 15: Getting food from the air must seem like a dream
47:26
Speaker 15: come true for so many people. Wayne Cabot, ABC News.

Speaker 15: A to Z dependable services.
47:33
Speaker 2: Plumbings. Now, Ron Verb. On News Radio 570, WKBN. It's
47:39
Speaker 2: 4.06 in the afternoon, NewsRadio 570, WQEN, and Ron Furb
47:43
Speaker 2: from the Kingdom of Mahoning here on a Thursday afternoon.
47:45
Speaker 2: Nice day with 83 degrees. So I don't mean to
47:49
Speaker 2: take it out on you, caller, in the sense that
47:52
Speaker 2: my frustration is the betrayal that you and I lived
47:56
Speaker 2: during that Agent Orange period, but I'm telling you that
47:58
Speaker 2: my frustration is this betrayal that happened during... COVID and
48:04
Speaker 2: the lies that Fauci told, the fact that he's got
48:08
Speaker 2: this pardon, he'll get away with it, no one's going
48:11
Speaker 2: to be held accountable. And I sit back and I
48:14
Speaker 2: think to myself, these people have died in nursing homes
48:16
Speaker 2: without their family there to be by their side as
48:20
Speaker 2: they pass on, whether it's a nursing home or a hospital,
48:23
Speaker 2: or to deny them ivermectin or hydrochloroquine, or the The
48:30
Speaker 2: fact that he was funding this kind of stuff or
48:32
Speaker 2: the fact that this vaccine has killed people and created
48:36
Speaker 2: long term effects as well. And it's like there's zero accountability.
48:42
Speaker 2: And as I watched that guy yesterday, I thought he's
48:45
Speaker 2: just an evil bastard. I really, really did. I thought
48:48
Speaker 2: I looked at him and I just saw an evil man.
48:51
Speaker 2: It's almost like somebody with no conscience. And you're going
48:53
Speaker 2: to sit there and you're going to take the fifth shot.
48:56
Speaker 2: as opposed to explain yourself. You got a pardon. You
48:59
Speaker 2: might as well tell everybody what you did. But maybe
49:01
Speaker 2: it's just too embarrassing on what he did. So I
49:04
Speaker 2: look at that. And then, of course, I'm a broken
49:08
Speaker 2: record on this situation as far as Iran is concerned
49:10
Speaker 2: and the issues that are going on there and how
49:13
Speaker 2: you get out of that mess. But go ahead.
49:16
Speaker 4: That's okay. That's okay. You don't upset me. I'm too
49:20
Speaker 4: old for that stuff. I've known you too long. I
49:23
Speaker 4: knew you when I was 19, whatever you started on
49:27
Speaker 4: that radio station. But anyhow, what I was trying to
49:31
Speaker 4: get at before you went headlong into the COVID thing
49:35
Speaker 4: and Fauci, was the pharmacist called up, started talking, I
49:40
Speaker 4: think it was the pharmacist was called up, talking about
49:42
Speaker 4: all this tax money going out of the way.
49:44
Speaker 2: Yes.
49:45
Speaker 4: For no reason at all. And all I was bringing
49:47
Speaker 4: up was trying to align it, the East Wing, plus
49:53
Speaker 4: there's 400-some employees that work for the government and government
49:58
Speaker 4: workers that were hurt over there in the Middle East,
50:03
Speaker 4: plus there were four deaths. They were never brought up because, well,
50:07
Speaker 4: that was during the ceasefire. So they never even mentioned
50:11
Speaker 4: them for service members. And with him and his, you
50:21
Speaker 4: don't know which way he's going to go. Okay, we're
50:23
Speaker 4: not going to have that bird going over from Canada
50:26
Speaker 4: or Michigan. Oh, you name it after me, that's okay then.
50:29
Speaker 4: We can do that.
50:33
Speaker 9: I don't know. I just..
50:36
Speaker 4: It just scares the hell out of me. Now all
50:39
Speaker 4: of a sudden the Epstein files up and disappear. And
50:43
Speaker 4: we're not doing anything about that again. So it's six
50:49
Speaker 4: or one and a half of the dozen or the others.
50:51
Speaker 4: But what I do know is politicians are like diapers.
50:56
Speaker 4: They need to be changed often.
50:59
Speaker 2: I would agree with that. I would genuinely agree with that.
51:03
Speaker 2: And I sit back and there are great people that
51:07
Speaker 2: go into the public sector, few and far between. I mean,
51:10
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, the first name that comes to my
51:13
Speaker 2: mind that I would share with you that I think
51:15
Speaker 2: is really, really– A terrific public servant is Ron DeSantis.
51:22
Speaker 2: That name keeps coming to my mind. He's such a
51:24
Speaker 2: great governor. He's such a great philosophy on taxes. And
51:28
Speaker 2: I think the guy would make an excellent president. And
51:31
Speaker 2: I say that because I think he's educated and he reads.
51:34
Speaker 2: I mean, that's, I just..
51:36
Speaker 4: I understand that. And he did all that. But so far,
51:40
Speaker 4: so far, my friend, we haven't seen the outcome of
51:45
Speaker 4: these tax... getting rid of the taxes... what he's going
51:49
Speaker 4: to do to replace them, and how he's going to
51:51
Speaker 4: keep things going. There's no idea whatsoever. And he's gotten
51:56
Speaker 4: himself in trouble ever since he took that job of
51:59
Speaker 4: being governor.
52:00
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about that. I mean, it seems
52:02
Speaker 2: like Florida's operating pretty efficiently. The fact of the matter
52:06
Speaker 2: is he's cut out a lot of the waste. He's
52:08
Speaker 2: cut out programs that aren't necessary. And he explains why
52:14
Speaker 2: he's doing what he's doing. If it benefits a taxpayer,
52:18
Speaker 2: putting another lane on I-4, then we're going to do it,
52:21
Speaker 2: and it's worthwhile doing. If it's some nonsense... Like a
52:26
Speaker 2: school system that has less students but wants twice as
52:28
Speaker 2: much money, that doesn't make any sense. I mean, it's
52:32
Speaker 2: just basic priorities in saying yes and no. Zero balanced budgeting.
52:39
Speaker 2: We start at zero every year, not where you were
52:41
Speaker 2: last year. I mean, these are pretty smart moves. And
52:46
Speaker 2: I would like to see that happen. What you saw,
52:48
Speaker 2: as I did, listen, the nonsense that was discovered under
52:52
Speaker 2: Doge and all the money, your tax dollars, it was
52:54
Speaker 2: going to really nonsense stuff. I don't care if you're
52:57
Speaker 2: a Democrat or Republican. As an American, you'd say, what?
53:00
Speaker 2: Millions of dollars were going to this kind of stuff?
53:03
Speaker 2: And what ultimately happened? They ran Elon Musk right out
53:07
Speaker 2: of town. I mean, they basically called him Hitler and
53:09
Speaker 2: a Nazi and firebombed his car company and were assaulting
53:14
Speaker 2: his customers. So he had to leave to go back
53:17
Speaker 2: to put his attention back on his business. And as
53:19
Speaker 2: soon as he left, as soon as he wasn't doing
53:22
Speaker 2: Doge anymore, all of a sudden all that stuff stopped.
53:25
Speaker 2: Because it was really to run him out of Washington
53:27
Speaker 2: so the waste, fraud, and corruption can continue. But that's
53:30
Speaker 2: your money. That's your money.
53:33
Speaker 4: You're right, but in a second note, when he went
53:37
Speaker 4: in and claimed something, we're just going to say beta, boo, boo, boo.
53:42
Speaker 4: In that particular group, there were a lot of things
53:47
Speaker 4: in it that were good. And he walked in and
53:50
Speaker 4: wiped the whole thing out. And if he saved the
53:54
Speaker 4: American people so much, so much money, then why... Are
54:00
Speaker 4: we in so much, so much debt?
54:03
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, a lot of what he did,
54:05
Speaker 2: I didn't see things that were beneficial. I saw a
54:08
Speaker 2: lot of wasted money. And I saw a lot of
54:10
Speaker 2: times when federal judges would reverse the decisions where they
54:14
Speaker 2: would try to cut this nonsense out. And all of
54:16
Speaker 2: a sudden, some federal judge says, well, you can't do that. Well,
54:20
Speaker 2: so if you're asking me, am I optimistic that we'll
54:22
Speaker 2: ever get this spending under control, the debt and deficit?
54:26
Speaker 2: The day they ran Elon Musk out of town means
54:29
Speaker 2: that fraud and corruption is continuing as we speak. I
54:32
Speaker 2: don't think you'll ever see anyone go after it or
54:35
Speaker 2: try to do something for it. It takes somebody with money, power,
54:41
Speaker 2: and intellect and talent. And the group that he could
54:44
Speaker 2: assemble and the computer knowledge that they have to track
54:47
Speaker 2: all of this stuff down, make everything more efficient, give
54:50
Speaker 2: a check and balance system. I think we deserve that
54:53
Speaker 2: as taxpayers. But that was derailed. And I don't think
54:58
Speaker 2: you'll ever see that get under control. And at some point,
55:01
Speaker 2: the crap will simply hit the fan when it comes
55:04
Speaker 2: to the debt and deficit of this country. And I
55:06
Speaker 2: think that's very close to happening. And when it happens,
55:09
Speaker 2: who do you think they'll screw? Oh, we're going to
55:11
Speaker 2: have to change your Social Security. You're not going to
55:13
Speaker 2: get as much. Medicare's in trouble. Medicaid's in trouble. They're
55:19
Speaker 2: going to screw every citizen that had nothing to do
55:22
Speaker 2: with the decisions that were being made. And the people
55:25
Speaker 2: who made the decisions won't be touched at all. And
55:28
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that Trump hasn't added to this debt deficit.
55:30
Speaker 2: This situation in Iran that he decided to get involved
55:33
Speaker 2: with has added tremendously to it. And he's failed to
55:37
Speaker 2: do adequate cutting of, well, hell, he took a $ 900
55:41
Speaker 2: billion military budget and upped it to $ 1.
55:44
Speaker 21: 5 trillion.
55:44
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. So I'm with you there.
55:49
Speaker 4: You're right. You're right about that. Like I said, change
55:52
Speaker 4: them diapers and don't be unauthentic.
55:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the problem. Here's the problem.
55:58
Speaker 4: Let's break out the Vaseline and get it straightened out.
56:01
Speaker 2: When you talk about changing diapers at my age, I
56:03
Speaker 2: take it literally, okay?
56:05
Speaker 4: Oh, well, excuse me. I'm sorry.
56:07
Speaker 6: All right.
56:07
Speaker 2: See you later. All right. You're on the air. Hello.
56:11
Speaker 7: Hi, Ron.
56:12
Speaker 2: It's JJ the Trumpster.
56:15
Speaker 22: Yep.
56:15
Speaker 7: Yeah, you guys are, you know, all you liberals are
56:18
Speaker 7: picking on him. We're picking on him. He did some
56:23
Speaker 7: great things there. I don't know what you guys are
56:24
Speaker 7: all complaining about.
56:27
Speaker 2: I'm just not used to this. I am not used
56:29
Speaker 2: to the new JJ the Trumpster. I mean, I'm finding it.
56:34
Speaker 7: Really entertaining, but it's... My wife doesn't know who she's
56:39
Speaker 7: talking to all the time. I'm... I'm on the left,
56:45
Speaker 7: and then I'm on the right, and then I switch
56:46
Speaker 7: back and forth. I switch like I'm a cross-dresser.
56:52
Speaker 8: Yes.
56:52
Speaker 7: I'm a woman that's going to come in to lay
56:57
Speaker 7: down with her and lay beside her at night. Am
56:59
Speaker 7: I going to be J.J., the dancing queen, or am
57:03
Speaker 7: I going to be... uh, JJ, the Trumpster. I don't,
57:07
Speaker 7: she doesn't really know.
57:08
Speaker 2: But, uh, I mean, it's, it's funny though. When you
57:11
Speaker 2: hear JJ say, let's say after his shock therapy is JJ,
57:15
Speaker 2: the Trumpster. When he says, I don't know what's with
57:17
Speaker 2: you people. He's done a lot of really good things.
57:19
Speaker 3: I mean, it's.
57:20
Speaker 7: Just, I still don't, I still don't know what, but
57:25
Speaker 7: I just know that there was, there was something he did.
57:27
Speaker 7: I am not too sure, but I, um, interesting, interesting, uh,
57:32
Speaker 7: Program you got going. Tell Rich that I found out
57:36
Speaker 7: about that 30 seconds before he did. So whenever he
57:41
Speaker 7: came on, I always would go way fast so I
57:45
Speaker 7: can get to listen to Ted the Conservative. So back
57:49
Speaker 7: at him. So tell me whenever he passed me and
57:53
Speaker 7: he didn't want to hear my voice or Frank, I
57:57
Speaker 7: didn't want to hear his.
58:00
Speaker 2: I will tell you, actually, I can add him. The
58:04
Speaker 2: two most frequently asked about callers when people ask me
58:08
Speaker 2: when I'm not sitting here about the program, the two
58:10
Speaker 2: most frequently callers people ask about are JJ the liberal and.
58:15
Speaker 7: The reason why they're asking, they're wanting to know if
58:17
Speaker 7: I'm dead yet.
58:18
Speaker 2: So they can.
58:19
Speaker 3: Have a party.
58:20
Speaker 2: And G2. G2 and J.J.
58:22
Speaker 6: The Liberal.
58:23
Speaker 2: You know who would come in?
58:24
Speaker 7: My demise is coming. That's all they're concerned about.
58:30
Speaker 2: I would say three and four would probably be Ted
58:35
Speaker 2: the Conservative and Fort Lauderdale Frank.
58:37
Speaker 9: Yeah, and then everything.
58:39
Speaker 7: And then every now and then, you probably throw Bubba
58:41
Speaker 7: Ganoush in there because he's a real character.
58:44
Speaker 9: And I mean that in a good.
58:45
Speaker 7: Way there, Bubba, if you're listening. Remember, we're on the
58:50
Speaker 7: same side. So, you know, we both believe that he
58:53
Speaker 7: just needs a little bit of time, you know.
58:55
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
58:55
Speaker 2: Now that you're the Trumpster, you and Bubba Ganoush, you
58:58
Speaker 2: sound like Bubba Ganoush now. Oh, everything's going to be great.
59:01
Speaker 7: I sound like Tigger. I don't sound like Tigger. But anyway,
59:05
Speaker 7: I was just kind of curious. I was listening to
59:08
Speaker 7: you guys today. I watched a little bit of the.
59:10
Speaker 22: Fauci thing, and I feel a duality there because, one,
59:16
Speaker 22: I know that we've been doing this, you know, again,
59:19
Speaker 22: a function for quite a while because, As a person
59:22
Speaker 22: who enjoys science.
59:24
Speaker 10: We.
59:26
Speaker 7: Needed to do these things. It's very risky, which obviously
59:29
Speaker 7: we found out through COVID. But it is necessary in
59:32
Speaker 7: a lot of ways because if it mutates itself, which
59:36
Speaker 7: that's whenever you get a common cold, if you don't
59:39
Speaker 7: take your antibiotics all the way through your script, Then
59:43
Speaker 7: it mutates and it can and it can just mutate
59:46
Speaker 7: itself and it can continue to thrive. So there's I
59:49
Speaker 7: understand the reason why they're doing them, because, you know, say,
59:53
Speaker 7: say some terrorist group gets a hold of a virus.
59:55
Speaker 7: And if we've already done some research on it, we're
59:58
Speaker 7: very close to getting a vaccine for it. That's the
1:00:01
Speaker 7: purpose behind it. But COVID-19 was an example of the risk. Now,
1:00:07
Speaker 7: as far as Fauci's concerned, I personally don't think that he,
1:00:12
Speaker 7: with intention, wanted to hurt anybody. But I think that
1:00:15
Speaker 7: he is responsible because that was his gig.
1:00:18
Speaker 3: That was his.
1:00:19
Speaker 7: You know, he dropped the ball and a lot of
1:00:22
Speaker 7: people died. You know, so I'm not going to give
1:00:26
Speaker 7: him any pass. But in the same sense, too, that
1:00:29
Speaker 7: there were people that were like Trump that were well
1:00:32
Speaker 7: aware of the the dangers and the possibilities of what
1:00:36
Speaker 7: was going to happen if we didn't.
1:00:39
Speaker 9: Pay attention to it.
1:00:40
Speaker 7: And I'm kind of always curious as why everybody says, well,
1:00:43
Speaker 7: it was a fake this and it really wasn't dangerous.
1:00:45
Speaker 7: But then millions of people died.
1:00:47
Speaker 2: Oh, no, I don't think I made no mistake. I
1:00:50
Speaker 2: don't think it was fake at all. There was COVID-19. No,
1:00:53
Speaker 2: you don't.
1:00:54
Speaker 7: You've always said that.
1:00:55
Speaker 2: People who act like it was no big deal. I
1:00:58
Speaker 2: don't say that at all. There was COVID-19. It was
1:01:01
Speaker 2: created in a laboratory, and it did kill a lot
1:01:03
Speaker 2: of people.
1:01:04
Speaker 14: Exactly.
1:01:04
Speaker 2: And I agree.
1:01:05
Speaker 7: You've never said that, but there's been other callers that
1:01:07
Speaker 7: have called in and said that it wasn't this and
1:01:09
Speaker 7: it wasn't that. But but in same sense there, you know,
1:01:12
Speaker 7: people died. And again, I understand that people should have
1:01:15
Speaker 7: had the opportunity to try, you know, another drug if
1:01:19
Speaker 7: they felt comfortable and not had to be chastised for
1:01:22
Speaker 7: doing it or their. or their doctor, you know, being chastised.
1:01:26
Speaker 7: So I'll be done in, like, a minute, if you'll
1:01:28
Speaker 7: just give me the time here. So, again, the problem
1:01:32
Speaker 7: is that, you know, the people that were in charge,
1:01:35
Speaker 7: like Trump and other people, concluding Fauci, all have to
1:01:39
Speaker 7: take responsibility because they were aware of it before we knew,
1:01:43
Speaker 7: and they all dropped the ball. So I'm just going
1:01:45
Speaker 7: to leave it at that, as far as that's concerned.
1:01:47
Speaker 7: I would appreciate your response to it. But the other thing, too,
1:01:50
Speaker 7: is that... You know, he should have never wrote those
1:01:53
Speaker 7: things down in his diary, and I don't have a
1:01:56
Speaker 7: diary yet. You know, only when I'm cross-dressing do I
1:01:58
Speaker 7: have the diary. When I'm, you know, J.J., the cross-dresser,
1:02:01
Speaker 7: then I do have a diary. It's pink, and I
1:02:03
Speaker 7: have little, like, feathers at the end of the pen,
1:02:05
Speaker 7: you know, the kind of things I pull up on
1:02:07
Speaker 7: my bed with my fluffy pillows, and I write down,
1:02:11
Speaker 7: jot down my most private thoughts and everything, so my
1:02:16
Speaker 7: son's coming here with my wife.
1:02:17
Speaker 2: I don't know that I can ever get that picture
1:02:20
Speaker 2: now out of my mind.
1:02:21
Speaker 3: All right. Neither can my wife. Neither can my wife.
1:02:23
Speaker 7: But anyhow, I appreciate you being, you know, challenging everything.
1:02:28
Speaker 7: But tell Rich that, listen, next time he comes on,
1:02:31
Speaker 7: I'll be panning forward.
1:02:32
Speaker 2: Thank you. J.J., the liberal Trumpster we don't know day
1:02:35
Speaker 2: to day. You're on the air.
1:02:38
Speaker 23: Hey, how you doing?
1:02:41
Speaker 2: It's Emanuela Trumpster.
1:02:44
Speaker 23: Well, listen, you know, this is one of those, not
1:02:47
Speaker 23: why I called you, but this is one of those
1:02:49
Speaker 23: don't bite your tongue moments, right? Quite possibly, this has
1:02:52
Speaker 23: been the worst show you ever did. And I've been
1:02:53
Speaker 23: listening to you for 25 years.
1:02:55
Speaker 2: Oh, great.
1:02:56
Speaker 6: I'm glad.
1:02:59
Speaker 2: Because if I've hit bottom, there's only one way to go,
1:03:01
Speaker 2: and that's up. Stand by for a minute, all right?
1:03:03
Speaker 2: Just hang in there. Emanuel commenting on the worst show
1:03:07
Speaker 2: I've ever done. So if that's the case, I can
1:03:09
Speaker 2: only go up. iHeart Radio.
1:03:12
Speaker 10: Transform your bathroom with a new walk-in shower.
1:03:15
Speaker 1: Weather and Talk Station 570 WKBN. It's 423 on a
1:03:21
Speaker 1: Thursday afternoon. It's 83 degrees and you're.
1:03:24
Speaker 6: On the air.
1:03:26
Speaker 4: Hey, Ron, I got..
1:03:27
Speaker 2: Well, wait a minute. Hang on, hang on, hang on.
1:03:29
Speaker 2: I got to go back to Emanuel. I forgot. Just
1:03:30
Speaker 2: hang on. Emanuel, go ahead.
1:03:34
Speaker 23: Okay, now first of all, right? I know at 5 o'clock,
1:03:37
Speaker 23: you know, you have to leave. But, you know, as
1:03:40
Speaker 23: far as risk to pharmacists go and that conversation you
1:03:43
Speaker 23: guys had.
1:03:43
Speaker 2: Yes.
1:03:45
Speaker 23: If you got a pen full of hogs, right, the
1:03:48
Speaker 23: only one who's going to squeal is the one you
1:03:51
Speaker 23: hit with a brick. Now, you guys turn to suffer
1:03:55
Speaker 23: like the rest of us been suffering. Now, let me
1:03:58
Speaker 23: tell you something else. I've been hearing nothing but passion
1:04:01
Speaker 23: all day about things, but not once. Have I heard
1:04:05
Speaker 23: somebody call this evil? Not once has somebody said this
1:04:08
Speaker 23: is not right when it comes to the Epstein files.
1:04:11
Speaker 23: And that comes straight out of the White House. You
1:04:14
Speaker 23: guys are beating people up about everything else, right? But
1:04:18
Speaker 23: you don't say nothing?
1:04:19
Speaker 16: Nothing.
1:04:20
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Well, that's not that's not accurate. You're going to
1:04:24
Speaker 2: you're going to have to end up apologizing to me
1:04:26
Speaker 2: because I've said numerous things about Trump in the Epstein files.
1:04:30
Speaker 23: You don't have the passion, Ron.
1:04:32
Speaker 14: Oh, yeah.
1:04:33
Speaker 2: I have plenty of passion about it.
1:04:34
Speaker 23: You don't talk about it every day. I don't need.
1:04:36
Speaker 2: To talk about it every day. Good God.
1:04:40
Speaker 23: Ron, I called you about yesterday when I was talking
1:04:42
Speaker 23: to G2. Remember that?
1:04:43
Speaker 2: Listen, I'm telling you that you have inaccurately betrayed me
1:04:49
Speaker 2: on this program, that I've spoken about the Epstein files,
1:04:53
Speaker 2: how Trump dropped a ball on it, how there's a
1:04:55
Speaker 2: double standard of justice. No, I'm not going to. I
1:04:58
Speaker 2: don't talk about most stuff every day. I talked about
1:05:03
Speaker 2: Fauci part yesterday and today because he's in the news.
1:05:06
Speaker 2: You think I'm going to talk about Fauci every day?
1:05:08
Speaker 23: Have you said the Epstein people are evil?
1:05:12
Speaker 2: I think Jeffrey Epstein is evil. Absolutely, I think he's evil.
1:05:15
Speaker 24: Only him?
1:05:16
Speaker 23: What about the rest of them?
1:05:18
Speaker 2: Oh, no, I think Maxwell is evil, and I think
1:05:21
Speaker 2: the people that are covering it up are very much evil.
1:05:23
Speaker 2: But as I said on the air, if you were listening,
1:05:29
Speaker 2: what trouble.
1:05:30
Speaker 9: You— I stand corrected.
1:05:31
Speaker 23: I stand corrected.
1:05:31
Speaker 14: Now listen.
1:05:32
Speaker 4: All right.
1:05:34
Speaker 23: I talked to you and G2 yesterday, which was a
1:05:36
Speaker 23: great conversation. I love talking to G2.
1:05:39
Speaker 14: What about me?
1:05:40
Speaker 23: Go ahead.
1:05:41
Speaker 2: What about talking to me?
1:05:44
Speaker 23: Listen, man, you say you're going to take a break.
1:05:45
Speaker 23: You got a break when you got the dang job.
1:05:47
Speaker 23: Now listen to me very.
1:05:48
Speaker 9: Carefully, okay? Listen to me very.
1:05:51
Speaker 23: Very carefully.
1:05:52
Speaker 2: Do I need to take notes?
1:05:54
Speaker 8: Yes. Well, I don't care.
1:05:56
Speaker 23: It don't really matter, right? Because when I talk, I'm
1:05:58
Speaker 23: talking to you. I don't care who's listening. I don't
1:06:00
Speaker 23: care who turns it off because I turn it off too, right?
1:06:03
Speaker 23: But what I'm telling you is this. When I talked
1:06:06
Speaker 23: to you yesterday and I said, well, people call Democrats
1:06:09
Speaker 23: all kind of names. And you told me, well, don't.
1:06:13
Speaker 9: Take it personally.
1:06:14
Speaker 23: Is that what you said?
1:06:16
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:06:17
Speaker 14: You remember?
1:06:18
Speaker 2: Did I tell you that yesterday?
1:06:19
Speaker 6: Yes.
1:06:19
Speaker 2: If I said it, I meant it.
1:06:21
Speaker 14: Okay.
1:06:22
Speaker 9: Okay, then.
1:06:22
Speaker 23: Let's see if you meant it or not. So if
1:06:24
Speaker 23: I was to say Trump supporters are a bunch of racists,
1:06:28
Speaker 23: would that make you mad?
1:06:30
Speaker 2: Well, I would disagree with it, but, I mean, if
1:06:33
Speaker 2: you said it, that it's America, you've got a right
1:06:35
Speaker 2: to say it, whether it's fact or fiction. I mean,
1:06:38
Speaker 2: that's free speech.
1:06:41
Speaker 23: I can remember, I'm like an old ex-girlfriend. I can
1:06:44
Speaker 23: remember when you used to do shows about people calling
1:06:48
Speaker 23: Republicans racist, right? So I'm saying this, if I'm not
1:06:53
Speaker 23: supposed to get upset when you guys talk about Democrats...
1:06:56
Speaker 23: Don't you guys get upset when I say you guys
1:06:59
Speaker 23: are a fucking racist?
1:07:00
Speaker 2: I don't care if you get upset when we're talking
1:07:02
Speaker 2: about Democrats, because if you think that it's a... That's America.
1:07:06
Speaker 2: If you've got an opinion that differs with that, you
1:07:08
Speaker 2: should express it.
1:07:09
Speaker 23: Your callers, especially that last call before J.J., he gets
1:07:14
Speaker 23: upset when I call them, when I say Republicans are racist.
1:07:18
Speaker 23: He called you. I can't believe he said we're racist.
1:07:21
Speaker 13: Well, listen..
1:07:22
Speaker 23: What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
1:07:25
Speaker 23: But see, once again, you have a double standard. You
1:07:28
Speaker 23: guys think one way, right?
1:07:31
Speaker 25: It's okay.
1:07:32
Speaker 2: I think you have a double standard.
1:07:35
Speaker 23: It's okay to bring in the Clintons. It's okay. But
1:07:39
Speaker 23: when it comes time to bring in a Pam Bondi,
1:07:41
Speaker 23: she will not go up on the oath.
1:07:42
Speaker 2: I tell you what, here's a new.
1:07:46
Speaker 6: Format, folks.
1:07:47
Speaker 2: To please Emanuel, we're going to talk about the Epstein
1:07:50
Speaker 2: files every single day. Oh, for the love of God.
1:07:54
Speaker 23: I understand now. It's all about the ratings and the money.
1:07:56
Speaker 23: Have a good day, Ron.
1:07:57
Speaker 2: Thank you. There's no point in doing a program if
1:08:01
Speaker 2: nobody listens to it. I mean, I talked about the
1:08:04
Speaker 2: Epstein files time and time again. And as you would remember, Emanuel,
1:08:09
Speaker 2: I said that it's a double standard of justice. And
1:08:12
Speaker 2: I find it deeply troubling and deeply disturbing. And as
1:08:16
Speaker 2: I said there, these people are going to get away
1:08:18
Speaker 2: with it. The political figures and the rich and influential,
1:08:22
Speaker 2: some of them are being identified and shamed as a
1:08:25
Speaker 2: result of it. But you're not seeing justice happen. You're
1:08:30
Speaker 2: not seeing any trials. You're not seeing anybody go to jail.
1:08:33
Speaker 2: You're seeing the family deal with Prince Andrew and kind
1:08:36
Speaker 2: of shaming him and shunning him. But if you're asking me,
1:08:41
Speaker 2: am I holding my breath waiting for there to be accountability?
1:08:45
Speaker 5: No.
1:08:46
Speaker 2: Do I find that troubling? Yes. Do I find that disturbing?
1:08:49
Speaker 2: Do I find that to be a double standard?
1:08:51
Speaker 3: Yes.
1:08:51
Speaker 2: And I've talked about it numerous times. I think it's
1:08:55
Speaker 2: about the victims. I think the information should be put
1:08:58
Speaker 2: out there. I think people should go to jail. jail.
1:09:01
Speaker 2: I think it's disturbing whatever intelligence community or communities, whether
1:09:05
Speaker 2: it's the Mossad or whether it's the USA and Mossad,
1:09:10
Speaker 2: to have an organization A system where you're exploiting young girls'
1:09:16
Speaker 2: children to have sex with adult men is reprehensible. And
1:09:20
Speaker 2: I think everybody should be held accountable. And once again,
1:09:23
Speaker 2: nobody will, just like Fauci won't with COVID. News Radio

1:09:31
Speaker 11: A house explosion early this morning in Canton, leaving two
1:09:34
Speaker 11: people severely burned and injured. The explosion caught on a
1:09:40
Speaker 11: ring camera in the 1600 block of Bonnet Road northeast
1:09:43
Speaker 11: around 4 o'clock, completely destroying the home. One victim found
1:09:46
Speaker 11: in the street with severe burns and traumatic injuries after
1:09:49
Speaker 11: being thrown from the home by the explosion. The other
1:09:51
Speaker 11: victim found a block over before 8.30. A natural gas
1:09:54
Speaker 11: leak said to have been the cause, but the cause
1:09:56
Speaker 11: of the leak and where it came from are still
1:09:58
Speaker 11: under investigation. A police officer in Alliance entering into a
1:10:01
Speaker 11: plea deal admitting to OVI and obstructing official business. Sentenced
1:10:05
Speaker 11: to one year of probation. and will pay a fine.

Speaker 11: Ethan Griffin is said to have struck a pole in
1:10:10
Speaker 11: Austintown last month and then tried to flee on foot
1:10:12
Speaker 11: before he eventually surrendered. In a separate case, Griffin was
1:10:15
Speaker 11: arrested Tuesday, now charged with felony child endangerment.
1:10:19
Speaker 2: I'm Sean Gallagher.
1:10:34
Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
1:10:42
Speaker 2: Back to it, NewsRadio 570 WKBN. I'm telling you, the
1:10:47
Speaker 2: whole Fauci thing, when you hear what, I mean, Fauci's
1:10:53
Speaker 2: up there, in my opinion, with Joseph Mengele. I mean,
1:10:58
Speaker 2: I just think he's that evil. You're on the air. Hello. Frank?
1:11:07
Speaker 4: Ron?
1:11:08
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:11:08
Speaker 26: Yes.
1:11:09
Speaker 4: Ron, I'm not a doctor, and I'm not a psychologist,
1:11:15
Speaker 4: but I have the perfect cure for Rich the pharmacist.
1:11:19
Speaker 4: I want him to start masturbating. And while he is masturbating,
1:11:24
Speaker 4: I want him to think of me and JJ. If
1:11:27
Speaker 4: he thinks of me and JJ, I guarantee he'll start
1:11:31
Speaker 4: feeling a lot better, and he'll have no desire... to
1:11:35
Speaker 4: fast forward anymore.
1:11:38
Speaker 2: That's just too bizarre even for me, Frank. I mean,
1:11:42
Speaker 2: that is just, I don't know where to go with that.
1:11:45
Speaker 2: It's even better for women. I don't even want to
1:11:52
Speaker 2: visualize that, okay? I mean, I just don't want to
1:11:56
Speaker 2: do that.
1:11:57
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll skip the women part.
1:11:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, Fort Lauderdale, Frank, markets up today $ 600. Dow Jones,
1:12:04
Speaker 2: S & P' s up. NASDAQ's up 679. I mean, so
1:12:08
Speaker 2: let's see. Dow, Raleigh, 600 points. NASDAQ soars 3% in
1:12:13
Speaker 2: tech-fueled recovery. How about that?
1:12:16
Speaker 4: Yeah. And corporate insiders are sending warning signals about the
1:12:22
Speaker 4: stock market. They're starting to sell. And that is a
1:12:26
Speaker 4: leading indicator. Corporate insider selling.
1:12:30
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:12:31
Speaker 4: I mean, it's... Amazon earnings were out in the– that's
1:12:38
Speaker 4: a big reason why the stock market was way up today.
1:12:41
Speaker 2: Were they good?
1:12:43
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were good, and we're going to be getting
1:12:46
Speaker 4: Apple's earnings pretty soon now, too.
1:12:49
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you, though, despite all of that stuff,
1:12:52
Speaker 2: I am very– I'm not optimistic on the economy. I
1:12:57
Speaker 2: said it yesterday. I'd say it to you again today, one-on-one.
1:13:00
Speaker 2: I'm not optimistic. I don't– The market could be up today.
1:13:03
Speaker 2: It could drop down tremendously. This situation in Iran has
1:13:10
Speaker 2: caused me a great deal of concern as far as
1:13:12
Speaker 2: the economics of this country are concerned.
1:13:17
Speaker 4: Well, you know, the AI boom shows no signs of slowing,
1:13:21
Speaker 4: and the U.S. economy is reaping the benefits. However, big
1:13:26
Speaker 4: tech is forcing consumers to pay for the AI boom, Ron.
1:13:31
Speaker 2: Oh, you mean as far as my electric bill and
1:13:33
Speaker 2: my water bill?
1:13:34
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah.
1:13:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's... That's why, did you notice a lot
1:13:39
Speaker 2: of communities are having moratoriums and this kind of stuff
1:13:42
Speaker 2: against it? And I thought, well, why are you fighting technology?
1:13:46
Speaker 2: I mean, you're not going to stop the AI boom.
1:13:48
Speaker 2: But I do want to appreciate and understand why they're
1:13:50
Speaker 2: doing it now because they're saying, wait a minute, we
1:13:53
Speaker 2: don't want you coming here and increasing my electric cost
1:13:56
Speaker 2: even more or my water cost even more or polluting
1:14:00
Speaker 2: my water. Basically, a lot of these communities are tapping
1:14:04
Speaker 2: the brakes saying, we're not embracing this technology. as quickly
1:14:07
Speaker 2: as you think we should.
1:14:11
Speaker 4: Well, yes, but I'll tell you, when it comes to AI,
1:14:20
Speaker 4: they have hyperscalers, and that refers to companies that operate
1:14:25
Speaker 4: large-scale data centers designed for extreme scalability. It allows them
1:14:31
Speaker 4: to manage vast amounts of data in computing resources efficiently,
1:14:37
Speaker 4: and they provide cloud computing and data management services because
1:14:43
Speaker 4: they rapidly adjust their scale to meet massive data needs,
1:14:48
Speaker 4: you know, essential for the rapidly escalating demand for cloud services.
1:14:54
Speaker 4: But hyperscalers operate at a scale far beyond traditional data
1:14:59
Speaker 4: centers with multiple data centers globally. and thousands of servers.
1:15:06
Speaker 4: And these companies offer what's called infrastructure as a service
1:15:12
Speaker 4: and software as a service. Now, this enables businesses to
1:15:17
Speaker 4: access computer power, storage, and software solutions without needing their
1:15:24
Speaker 4: own physical infrastructure. So it saves on cost. I mean,
1:15:29
Speaker 4: that's good for businesses, lowers their cost, and it's good
1:15:33
Speaker 4: for the economy. I don't know.
1:15:37
Speaker 2: AI is just... AI is going to happen whether you
1:15:41
Speaker 2: like it or not.
1:15:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, it sure is.
1:15:45
Speaker 2: And I think people have a right to be concerned
1:15:48
Speaker 2: because of..
1:15:49
Speaker 4: I've been warning how... Electric bills will eventually start going up.
1:15:56
Speaker 4: They are already. The demand for water, your water will
1:16:01
Speaker 4: get more expensive. That's because all models, especially large language
1:16:07
Speaker 4: models and generative AI, they require astronomical amounts of computing
1:16:14
Speaker 4: power and data storage for training and deployment, Ron.
1:16:17
Speaker 2: Right, and then you get to a point where people
1:16:20
Speaker 2: can't afford the electric bill in their house or the
1:16:23
Speaker 2: water bill, basic necessities that everybody needs. And incidentally, like
1:16:26
Speaker 2: I've said to you before, at least here in Ohio,
1:16:29
Speaker 2: our electric rates have doubled. I mean, they have doubled
1:16:32
Speaker 2: from what they were. And you're right, they could go
1:16:35
Speaker 2: up even more as this goes on, and your water
1:16:38
Speaker 2: could go up even more. And that's why people are saying,
1:16:41
Speaker 2: this is bull crap. We're putting the brakes on the
1:16:43
Speaker 2: AI in these communities. But if it locates anywhere within
1:16:47
Speaker 2: your grid, you're going to pay the price anyway. I mean,
1:16:51
Speaker 2: it is a mess. How do they expect people to
1:16:55
Speaker 2: survive when we continue to raise their property taxes, their
1:16:58
Speaker 2: utilities go up, gas is going up, groceries are going up?
1:17:02
Speaker 2: I mean, tell me that there's anything optimistic out there,
1:17:06
Speaker 2: economically speaking. Oh, Frank from Fort Lauderdale.
1:17:10
Speaker 4: Well, not much, but as far as the stock market...
1:17:16
Speaker 4: As of July 22nd, over 42% of individual investors believe
1:17:23
Speaker 4: that the stock market will be lower in the next
1:17:26
Speaker 4: six months. And over 41% of retail investors believe inflation
1:17:32
Speaker 4: will be the same over the next six months. Now,
1:17:36
Speaker 4: historical data tends to result in hindsight bias. Hindsight Bias
1:17:44
Speaker 4: is when a person believes the outcome of a future
1:17:47
Speaker 4: event is predictable by studying the past. But individual investors
1:17:53
Speaker 4: are almost always wrong. If they think that the stock
1:17:57
Speaker 4: market will be lower than six months, the odds are
1:18:00
Speaker 4: it will be higher.
1:18:01
Speaker 2: Well, here's my thoughts. If I had to guess on
1:18:04
Speaker 2: the stock markets, My concern is I think the stock
1:18:08
Speaker 2: market can go down depending on energy in the war.
1:18:12
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the variable. I think the stock market
1:18:15
Speaker 2: can go down and it can stay down for a
1:18:17
Speaker 2: considerable amount of time. And that's what I'm concerned about.
1:18:21
Speaker 4: By the way, I haven't read the news today. Did
1:18:23
Speaker 4: you see if the Federal Reserve said if they're going
1:18:27
Speaker 4: to raise interest rates?
1:18:28
Speaker 2: They are not. They are not. That was yesterday.
1:18:31
Speaker 4: Oh, they're going to keep them steady.
1:18:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that doesn't mean... But they also said that
1:18:35
Speaker 2: doesn't mean that they won't give that consideration next time
1:18:38
Speaker 2: that they meet.
1:18:40
Speaker 4: Well, that's another reason why the stock market is way
1:18:45
Speaker 4: up today, because they were expecting the Federal Reserve... to
1:18:50
Speaker 4: raise rates as early as a month and within the
1:18:56
Speaker 4: next month. They shouldn't do that. Yeah.
1:19:01
Speaker 6: All right. I got to move.
1:19:02
Speaker 2: Thank you. NewsRadio 570, WKBN. It's just looking at this
1:19:06
Speaker 2: in case you don't get the paper front page. Let's see.
1:19:09
Speaker 2: Trustees at a special meeting in Poland Township Tuesday cut
1:19:12
Speaker 2: the township seasonal employees and canceled the Walnut Grove stormwater project.
1:19:18
Speaker 2: After learning there will be $ 1, 678 budget shortfall by the
1:19:20
Speaker 2: end of the year. Trustees also are considering putting a
1:19:27
Speaker 2: police levy on a November ballot, but they need to
1:19:32
Speaker 2: move quickly because the deadline to get an issue on
1:19:34
Speaker 2: a ballot is August 5th. I don't think they have
1:19:37
Speaker 2: a choice. They're going to have to put a police
1:19:40
Speaker 2: levy on there. The $ 1, 678 is hypothetical if we keep
1:19:48
Speaker 2: going the way we are going, said Fiscal Officer Paul Cantor.
1:19:53
Speaker 2: Right now, we will have a negative $ 2, 000 balance at
1:19:56
Speaker 2: the end of the year. There is a conversation that
1:20:01
Speaker 2: was going to happen now or later. We have to
1:20:04
Speaker 2: make cuts. We stopped the seasonal workers, Eric Angaro said,
1:20:09
Speaker 2: and we stopped the Walnut Grove project since it had
1:20:12
Speaker 2: not started yet. Cutting those two items helped, but would
1:20:16
Speaker 2: not solve the projected deficits. One additional item on the
1:20:20
Speaker 2: table is the Poland Township Police Department's new Chevy Tahoe.
1:20:25
Speaker 2: The vehicle was received, but no decals or equipment have
1:20:29
Speaker 2: been installed on it yet. The vehicle costs $ 75, 000 and
1:20:34
Speaker 2: could easily be sold for nearly that amount, Zangaro said.
1:20:37
Speaker 2: The price covers one payroll. This is pretty bad shape
1:20:42
Speaker 2: when you've got to sell off. What is the one
1:20:44
Speaker 2: thing that all police departments need to replace your vehicles?
1:20:49
Speaker 2: And they're difficult to get. So is it worth getting
1:20:52
Speaker 2: rid of that car to cover one payroll? Then what
1:20:57
Speaker 2: do you do? He said some tough choices will have
1:21:00
Speaker 2: to be made after things have been considered. I've been
1:21:05
Speaker 2: here 15 years and have worked with five different trustees,
1:21:09
Speaker 2: two different fiscal officers, and two different administrators. All of
1:21:13
Speaker 2: us were a team that tried to do whatever we
1:21:15
Speaker 2: could do without raising taxes and to give Poland Township
1:21:18
Speaker 2: the best service on the planet. Well, sometimes you have
1:21:22
Speaker 2: to raise taxes to keep your police departments working. And
1:21:26
Speaker 2: I think people in any community, that is usually money
1:21:29
Speaker 2: well spent. Let's see, what else does he say here?
1:21:34
Speaker 2: Trustee Ed Kempers said a police levy from 30 years
1:21:38
Speaker 2: ago had been deemed unconstitutional because of a technicality. With
1:21:42
Speaker 2: new state regulations for ballot issues, the township took the
1:21:45
Speaker 2: levy and combined it with another levy to offer one
1:21:48
Speaker 2: new levy to bring in the same amounts. The levy
1:21:51
Speaker 2: was set at... What is that? Is that a 0.73
1:21:57
Speaker 2: mils and was not new money. It failed in November 2023,
1:22:02
Speaker 2: but voters approved it in March 2024. That levy in
1:22:07
Speaker 2: a township's general fund covers a cost for the police department.
1:22:11
Speaker 2: Trustees looked at various increases in a township budget, such
1:22:15
Speaker 2: as insurance increases, daily cost of operations, losses from the
1:22:21
Speaker 2: recent passage of the Additional Homestead Act property tax relief,
1:22:25
Speaker 2: The county commissioners approved earlier this summer. Kempers said that
1:22:28
Speaker 2: he has noticed the carryover balance have been shrinking over
1:22:32
Speaker 2: the years. Ungaro Kempers and Frank Domain, who was there
1:22:37
Speaker 2: via a Zoom connection because he is out of town,
1:22:40
Speaker 2: discussed the many details of the budget. The decision was
1:22:43
Speaker 2: made to schedule a follow-up meeting next week when Domain
1:22:46
Speaker 2: is back in town to decide on selling the Tahoe.
1:22:53
Speaker 2: I don't know that you have a choice, but I
1:22:54
Speaker 2: would be opposed to that. On selling the Tahoe and
1:22:58
Speaker 2: on placing a police levy on a balance, you need
1:23:01
Speaker 2: the Tahoe for your police department. Selling it, I mean,
1:23:05
Speaker 2: where's the forethought? Where's the planning in this? I mean,
1:23:08
Speaker 2: where's the, wasn't anybody looking ahead? I mean, this is pitiful.
1:23:15
Speaker 2: Kemper said a police levy would need to be at
1:23:17
Speaker 2: least 2.9 mils. Cantor said he would prefer 3 mils
1:23:23
Speaker 2: So then go for three mils. I mean, that's what
1:23:26
Speaker 2: you need to keep your police department going. And I
1:23:28
Speaker 2: think people in Poland Township want their police departments. It's
1:23:32
Speaker 2: pretty simple. So much money comes in and so much
1:23:34
Speaker 2: money goes out. The last thing I want to have
1:23:36
Speaker 2: is to lay off an employee. We're going to meet
1:23:39
Speaker 2: next week and come up with a game plan. Well,
1:23:43
Speaker 2: you should. Probably going to have to pass a levy there.
1:23:46
Speaker 2: You're on the air.
1:23:48
Speaker 24: Absolutely not. You do not give them more money to
1:23:52
Speaker 24: waste when they already show that they're irresponsible. That's crazy.
1:23:56
Speaker 2: You starve the beast. Okay, how do you function? Now,
1:24:00
Speaker 2: let me ask you this. I appreciate that comment. But
1:24:03
Speaker 2: here's the reality. If you want a police department... And
1:24:07
Speaker 2: you want somebody or if you want a police department,
1:24:09
Speaker 2: somebody to show up, prevent crime and show up.
1:24:12
Speaker 24: You cut other administrative jobs and you find the money.
1:24:16
Speaker 24: You make the employees pay toward their health care.
1:24:19
Speaker 9: There's lots of things you could do.
1:24:21
Speaker 24: And you have to do that first. You don't give
1:24:23
Speaker 24: them money. Listen, if I wasn't so busy with these
1:24:26
Speaker 24: property tax signatures, I'd be getting signatures to have them recalled.
1:24:30
Speaker 24: They're lucky I'm busy. This is B.S., I'm paying $ 8, 800
1:24:34
Speaker 24: a year. I am not passing any levy, and neither
1:24:38
Speaker 24: should anyone else.
1:24:40
Speaker 8: That's not why I called.
1:24:42
Speaker 24: I called about Trump.
1:24:43
Speaker 2: Okay, but what are you going to do for– I mean,
1:24:46
Speaker 2: I'm the first one to say– You make the cuts.
1:24:49
Speaker 8: You make the cuts.
1:24:49
Speaker 2: But hang on a second. Hang on a second. Let's
1:24:52
Speaker 2: just be realistic. If you're asking me, was there piss-poor
1:24:57
Speaker 2: vision here to see what was happening before you got
1:25:01
Speaker 2: to this point, I would say I agree absolutely. But
1:25:06
Speaker 2: I would also be the first person to say sometimes
1:25:08
Speaker 2: you can't cut your way out of a situation like this.
1:25:11
Speaker 2: And why do I say that? Sometimes– Okay, you laid
1:25:15
Speaker 2: off some seasonal workers and you stopped some project. I
1:25:18
Speaker 2: don't sense that in Poland Township there's a lot of
1:25:21
Speaker 2: tax dollars being wasted. There's a lot of excess tax
1:25:25
Speaker 2: dollars being wasted.
1:25:27
Speaker 25: There is.
1:25:28
Speaker 2: Okay, on what?
1:25:31
Speaker 24: They have a GPS system that they're paying $ 100 a
1:25:34
Speaker 24: month for every vehicle. Well, the police cruisers already have GPS.
1:25:39
Speaker 24: Why the heck did they.
1:25:40
Speaker 8: Go buy that?
1:25:41
Speaker 2: Well, do they have a GPS system in there so
1:25:44
Speaker 2: they can monitor where they're traveling?
1:25:45
Speaker 7: Yes, the cruisers have it.
1:25:46
Speaker 24: Why do they have to go buy extra?
1:25:48
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's an explanation, but maybe to track their
1:25:52
Speaker 2: employees or to track where their work trucks are. A
1:25:54
Speaker 2: lot of times you put those systems in not police
1:25:57
Speaker 2: vehicles but other vehicles so you can see if somebody's
1:26:00
Speaker 2: speeding so you can see where they are. It has
1:26:03
Speaker 2: a tendency to increase productivity, not decrease it. If it's
1:26:07
Speaker 2: the type of GPS system I'm familiar with, but that's,
1:26:09
Speaker 2: that's not very much money, a hundred a month. Listen,
1:26:12
Speaker 2: sometimes I'm just going to say it and you know,
1:26:14
Speaker 2: you and I are on the same page on a
1:26:16
Speaker 2: lot of stuff, but here is a reality. You can't
1:26:18
Speaker 2: always cut your way out of this type of problem.
1:26:21
Speaker 2: I'll go back to say from what I'm looking at,
1:26:24
Speaker 2: I don't think there's huge money wasted in Poland township.
1:26:28
Speaker 2: Sometimes you need to increase money coming in because you,
1:26:33
Speaker 2: You do have to pay more for officers, for police vehicles,
1:26:36
Speaker 2: $ 75, 000 for the vehicle and the decals. By the time
1:26:40
Speaker 2: you get it all set up, you might be at
1:26:43
Speaker 2: $ 100, 000 or $ 85, 000.
1:26:46
Speaker 27: Well, that used to be $ 50, 000. So you've got to
1:26:51
Speaker 27: get additional money to keep your police department, to keep
1:26:55
Speaker 27: cruisers there.
1:26:57
Speaker 2: I just don't think the answer is..
1:26:58
Speaker 7: Well, they never go off for bids.
1:26:59
Speaker 24: They just go with whatever. You've got to watch the
1:27:02
Speaker 24: meetings from the beginning of the year, and you'll see
1:27:04
Speaker 24: what I'm talking about, just like Boss Lady tried to
1:27:06
Speaker 24: tell me yesterday. You've got to watch those meetings, and
1:27:08
Speaker 24: you'll see how they operate and how they've been operating.
1:27:11
Speaker 2: Well, the problem with their operation is that they didn't
1:27:14
Speaker 2: look ahead enough to say, we can't afford this or
1:27:17
Speaker 2: we can't afford that, to put themselves in this particular situation. But,
1:27:21
Speaker 2: I mean, these projects like fixing the roads or whatever
1:27:25
Speaker 2: they're doing, it's not like they're bad ideas. Don't you
1:27:29
Speaker 2: want that infrastructure repaired?
1:27:32
Speaker 24: Yeah, but, I mean, on certain repairs and other things,
1:27:34
Speaker 24: you go out for bids. You get the best price. And,
1:27:37
Speaker 24: I mean, this is what Frank Domain tried to do, and.
1:27:40
Speaker 7: They didn't do it.
1:27:42
Speaker 24: You got to watch the meetings. I'm telling you the
1:27:44
Speaker 24: way they operate. You don't want to give them more money.
1:27:46
Speaker 2: Well, my question to Frank Domain is, do you think
1:27:49
Speaker 2: you can really cut your way out of this mess
1:27:51
Speaker 2: to be able to afford your police department? Because without
1:27:54
Speaker 2: knowing for certain, I'm going to go out on a
1:27:55
Speaker 2: limb and say, I bet you can't. I bet there's
1:27:58
Speaker 2: no way you can do that.
1:28:00
Speaker 9: I don't know.
1:28:01
Speaker 24: I mean, I call it the talk about Trump because
1:28:03
Speaker 24: everybody's trying to blame COVID on him.
1:28:06
Speaker 2: And it's not him. Stand by. Stand by. I'm coming
1:28:10
Speaker 2: back to you in a minute. Hang on.
1:28:15
Speaker 1: Your one stop for news radio 570 WKVN.
1:28:19
Speaker 2: All right. And Ron Verb, you're on the air.
1:28:24
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:28:24
Speaker 24: So what I was saying about Trump, everyone wants to
1:28:26
Speaker 24: blame Trump for COVID. When it was Fauci, who was
1:28:29
Speaker 24: a so-called expert, that the media just fawned all over,
1:28:33
Speaker 24: thought he had all the answers. And when Trump tried
1:28:35
Speaker 24: to help people in one of his press conferences, he
1:28:37
Speaker 24: was talking about a doctor named Zevzo. out of New
1:28:41
Speaker 24: York who was on the Hannity show. And he had
1:28:43
Speaker 24: said he cured 395 of his 400 patients of COVID.
1:28:48
Speaker 24: with a certain protocol, and that was like vitamin C,
1:28:51
Speaker 24: vitamin D, zinc, azithromycin, and hydroxychloroquine. Well, all of a sudden,
1:28:56
Speaker 24: Trump tries to bring this up at a press conference,
1:28:58
Speaker 24: and the media jumps right down his throat.
1:29:00
Speaker 7: You're not a doctor, blah, blah, blah.
1:29:03
Speaker 24: Then pharmacists wouldn't even fill hydroxychloroquine for people. It's something
1:29:08
Speaker 24: that they use for rheumatoid arthritis, okay? But unless you
1:29:12
Speaker 24: had rheumatoid arthritis, they refuse to fill it. So they
1:29:15
Speaker 24: were waging pharmaceutical warfare against the American people when they
1:29:19
Speaker 24: knew this drug would help people and they wouldn't allow it.
1:29:22
Speaker 24: And nothing Trump could do because the media, like I said,
1:29:25
Speaker 24: they made the Keebler-El-Fauci out to.
1:29:27
Speaker 14: Be a god.
1:29:28
Speaker 24: And Trump couldn't do anything about it. If you remember that,
1:29:31
Speaker 24: that's what happened. So he's the one with the protocols,
1:29:36
Speaker 24: Fauci with his ventilators, his remdesivir, his masking everybody. That
1:29:40
Speaker 24: was him.
1:29:41
Speaker 9: That was not Trump.
1:29:44
Speaker 24: So you can blame the media and throw them in
1:29:46
Speaker 24: the mix because they would not give Trump any credibility
1:29:49
Speaker 24: at all.
1:29:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. Listen, I blame Fauci for all of it.
1:29:55
Speaker 2: What I saw yesterday was the utmost in arrogance. I'm
1:29:57
Speaker 2: with you 100 percent.
1:29:59
Speaker 24: And Zev Zelensky's protocol, it's called Z-Stack. I mean, you
1:30:02
Speaker 24: could buy it now.
1:30:05
Speaker 2: I lost you. You're on the air.
1:30:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
1:30:09
Speaker 28: You know, there's so much fraud going on on all
1:30:11
Speaker 28: different levels. I mean, just how Rich started out the
1:30:14
Speaker 28: whole show. You know, if you don't have people like,
1:30:16
Speaker 28: you know, our last caller, Rich, just doing this on
1:30:19
Speaker 28: their own behalf, going in and figuring things out so
1:30:22
Speaker 28: people can listen and hear these things. I mean, paying
1:30:25
Speaker 28: for dinners, fashionable clothing, vacations, rent. I mean, I'm all
1:30:31
Speaker 28: for helping people out. But at some point in time,
1:30:34
Speaker 28: you know, Ron, you always say, you know, all my
1:30:36
Speaker 28: money comes out of the same pocket. At what point
1:30:38
Speaker 28: do I just run out? At what point do I
1:30:41
Speaker 28: stop trading my time in for money? At what point
1:30:45
Speaker 28: is it just too much? I'm only on this earth
1:30:48
Speaker 28: for a short period of time. How many people do
1:30:50
Speaker 28: I have to take care of on the dole for
1:30:52
Speaker 28: the rest of my life? I mean, it's just insanity,
1:30:57
Speaker 28: and it's something new every day. I mean, did you
1:30:59
Speaker 28: happen to see today in Spain the beaches of Spain?
1:31:05
Speaker 21: No.
1:31:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to have to.
1:31:07
Speaker 28: Take a look at it on the break.
1:31:08
Speaker 2: All right. We'll talk next week. Legal show coming up. Hey, Ron,
1:31:13
Speaker 2: I'm going to go check in with Mike Leonard. Investment coach,
1:31:16
Speaker 2: John Arnold Studios. This is 570 WKBN Youngstown, an iHeartRadio station.
1:31:22
Speaker 2: Guaranteed human.
1:31:29
Speaker 29: From ABC News, I'm Lindsay Davis, anchor of Prime, streaming
1:31:34
Speaker 29: weeknights on ABC News Live. Money lost, money made after
1:31:38
Speaker 29: the worst day for the Dow in more than a year.
1:31:40
Speaker 29: It made back more than half those losses today. The
1:31:42
Speaker 29: Dow gaining 614 points even as the Iran war drags
1:31:46
Speaker 29: on and with energy markets in turmoil. What made the
1:31:48
Speaker 29: market move is Microsoft. It's earnings the best in 18
1:31:52
Speaker 29: years because investors finally see AI spending translating into profits.
1:31:56
Speaker 29: President Trump says he may withdraw Todd Blanch's nomination for
1:31:59
Speaker 29: attorney general because of opposition from two senators in his
1:32:02
Speaker 29: own party. John Cornyn and Tom Tillis are blocking the
1:32:05
Speaker 29: vote over Trump's immunity deal with the IRS. But there's
1:32:08
Speaker 29: late news from the Capitol and ABC's Catherine Folders.
1:32:11
Speaker 30: For the first time this week, after many canceled meetings,
1:32:14
Speaker 30: that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch did in fact meet
1:32:17
Speaker 30: with Cornyn and Tillis.
1:32:19
Speaker 10: Just moments ago, the.
1:32:20
Speaker 30: Meeting did not happen here on Capitol Hill. It was
1:32:22
Speaker 30: off campus, so out of view, despite being outside the
1:32:25
Speaker 30: senator's offices. So we didn't see the meeting occur, but
1:32:28
Speaker 30: they have met. I'm also told by sources that they
1:32:31
Speaker 30: believe they are closer. What that means is unclear at
1:32:34
Speaker 30: this point, considering there's been a great deal of back
1:32:36
Speaker 30: and forth.
1:32:36
Speaker 10: But the reality is the Senate here is gone. So
1:32:39
Speaker 10: they would have to get this done on Monday.
1:32:41
Speaker 30: And then maybe they could get Blanche confirmed by the
1:32:44
Speaker 30: August recess, which begins next week.
1:32:46
Speaker 29: Cyber attacks are being reported at more than 30 water
1:32:49
Speaker 29: plants across Minnesota. State and federal authorities are looking into
1:32:52
Speaker 29: whether Iran could be behind the attacks. The FBI says
1:32:55
Speaker 29: it is aware of the attacks on Sunday and Monday,
1:32:57
Speaker 29: but did not assign blame. Ukraine says a recent attack
1:33:00
Speaker 29: by Russia used a North Korean missile for the first time.
1:33:04
Speaker 29: A Georgia father who ignored warning signs before his son
1:33:07
Speaker 29: shot up Appalachian High School, killing four people, gets 15
1:33:10
Speaker 29: years in prison.
1:33:11
Speaker 31: The judge telling the dad.
1:33:12
Speaker 9: You did not provide a stable household.
1:33:16
Speaker 2: You did not have things in check with Marcy's issues
1:33:20
Speaker 2: and what the kids were being exposed to.
1:33:22
Speaker 29: The teen used a rifle his dad gave him for Christmas.
1:33:24
Speaker 2: You're listening to ABC News.
1:33:30
Speaker 3: From the NASCO Roofing and Construction News Center, NASCO, the
1:33:33
Speaker 3: Valley's trusted and passionate roofer, here's what's trending across Ohio.
1:33:37
Speaker 32: 162 days have come and gone and workers at Lorain
1:33:42
Speaker 32: County Job and Family Services remain on strike, waiting for
1:33:46
Speaker 32: contract negotiations to resume with the Lorain County Board of Commissioners,
1:33:50
Speaker 32: who the union says has refused to give in on
1:33:52
Speaker 32: contract demands. The striking workers continue picketing outside the building
1:33:56
Speaker 32: on Northridge Road. Rosemary Zayas is among them, and she
1:34:00
Speaker 32: says it has not been easy.
1:34:02
Speaker 5: We're struggling. A lot of us are struggling. Thankful for
1:34:05
Speaker 5: the donations of the people. They are donating money. You know,
1:34:09
Speaker 5: a few things to us and stuff like that. But,
1:34:11
Speaker 5: you know, we're out here struggling. But, you know, we
1:34:14
Speaker 5: stand on what we believe.
1:34:16
Speaker 32: She says they are going to weekly board meetings urging
1:34:18
Speaker 32: the county to resume negotiations where the previous contract expired
1:34:22
Speaker 32: in September of last year. A new ferry service will
1:34:24
Speaker 32: be carrying freight between Ohio and Canada.
1:34:27
Speaker 31: Semis crossing Lake Erie. No, it's not a fairy tale.
1:34:31
Speaker 31: It's in the works. The Port of Cleveland and Milo
1:34:34
Speaker 31: Harbor Incorporated have signed a memo providing cargo service from
1:34:38
Speaker 31: Northeast Ohio to Southern Ontario. Cleveland to Whitley, Ontario, to
1:34:42
Speaker 31: be precise. The deal gets underway in 2028.
1:34:46
Speaker 6: I'm Lee Malin.
1:34:47
Speaker 32: Meantime, high school athletes in Ohio are entering a new
1:34:50

Speaker 32: athletic success. The series features insight from NIL attorney Luke
1:35:06
Speaker 32: Fedlum and OHSAA officials who explain the state's updated rules
1:35:10
Speaker 32: designed to allow athletes to profit while protecting fair competition.
1:35:14

1:35:17

1:37:44

1:38:11
Speaker 6: not bad for your first time. I said, so what
1:38:14
Speaker 6: you're telling me is you're qualifying it because it was
1:38:16
Speaker 6: the first time, right? So it's not bad.
1:38:18
Speaker 33: He's like, yeah, you're right. And then I hung up
1:38:20
Speaker 33: on him.
1:38:21
Speaker 6: But I don't know how David does that every Friday.
1:38:27
Speaker 6: Because I slept with one eye open. because I was
1:38:30
Speaker 6: convinced that I was going to sleep through it. I
1:38:34
Speaker 6: was convinced.
1:38:35
Speaker 33: I was convinced.
1:38:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean? And I get it.
1:38:40
Speaker 2: You're afraid to fall asleep because you'll sleep right through it.
1:38:42
Speaker 2: But I don't know. Dave seems to go without sleep.
1:38:45
Speaker 2: He's like Trump. He's one of these guys that doesn't
1:38:47
Speaker 2: sleep a lot. I get that impression. Do you get
1:38:49
Speaker 2: that impression?
1:38:50
Speaker 6: I get that impression, and that's a pretty common thing
1:38:53
Speaker 6: in our place anymore.
1:38:54
Speaker 10: I did a trial with Dave. He literally... We'll be
1:38:57
Speaker 10: texting ideas to, like, Frank and I at, like, 1
1:39:00
Speaker 10: in the morning. So, no, this man does not sleep.
1:39:03
Speaker 2: Right. So there you have it. But, you know, tell
1:39:06
Speaker 2: your father that I thought you did a really fine job.
1:39:08
Speaker 2: All right? Just pass that along to him.
1:39:11
Speaker 33: I think I can do that, Ron.
1:39:13
Speaker 2: You know, because your father and I are the same age.
1:39:18
Speaker 2: Can you imagine that?
1:39:22
Speaker 33: He's going to be the big 7-0.
1:39:23
Speaker 6: No, he's not. No, he's not.
1:39:26
Speaker 2: No, he's going to be 69 next year. I'm pretty
1:39:31
Speaker 2: sure of that. You sure? I'm sure.
1:39:33
Speaker 10: Who knows your dad better?
1:39:36
Speaker 14: Ron.
1:39:37
Speaker 6: My dad's in better shape than I am right now.
1:39:39
Speaker 33: I'll give him that.
1:39:39
Speaker 2: You should check with your father. You text your father.
1:39:42
Speaker 2: I believe he's going to turn 69, not 70.
1:39:43
Speaker 33: He'll probably text me in a few.
1:39:46
Speaker 2: I'm going to go out on a limb for that
1:39:49
Speaker 2: because I believe that him and I might be born
1:39:53
Speaker 2: the same year. We shall see. You get to the
1:39:57
Speaker 2: bottom of it, Melfi. We want answers.
1:40:00
Speaker 33: It's 69. I already got the text.
1:40:02
Speaker 2: See, there you go. There you go. I knew him
1:40:06
Speaker 2: and I were born in the same year, and time
1:40:09
Speaker 2: is moving fast for both of us, but you did
1:40:12
Speaker 2: a fine job on there. You really did a good job.
1:40:15
Speaker 2: Your dad was a master at it, though, so listen
1:40:17
Speaker 2: to his advice. Take his advice. He always handled himself
1:40:20
Speaker 2: well and came across well. You're blessed with good genes,
1:40:24
Speaker 2: my son, good genes.
1:40:27
Speaker 33: He did okay, and I appreciate it.
1:40:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, the first thing I walked in, Steve goes.
1:40:31
Speaker 33: I remember it and reading your dad in front of
1:40:33
Speaker 33: your house, in front of a tree.
1:40:35
Speaker 6: And you were there. And I'm like, I don't remember that,
1:40:37
Speaker 6: but that was a long time ago.
1:40:38
Speaker 33: He just sent me a text. It wasn't very nice.
1:40:41
Speaker 6: I won't read it. I won't divulge that.
1:40:43
Speaker 2: All right. Well, no, those are the ones we want
1:40:47
Speaker 2: to divulge.
1:40:50
Speaker 10: There was a choice word used in there to describe
1:40:52
Speaker 10: Attorney Melfi.
1:40:55
Speaker 6: That's all right.
1:40:57
Speaker 33: Broads the shoulders that bears the cross, Ron, right?
1:40:59
Speaker 2: What do you mean a choice word to describe Attorney Melfi?
1:41:03
Speaker 6: A donkey.
1:41:05
Speaker 2: Who would say such a thing? Who would say such
1:41:08
Speaker 2: a thing?
1:41:08
Speaker 6: He called me a donkey.
1:41:12
Speaker 2: Or maybe me. All right, so here we go. With
1:41:17
Speaker 2: our attorneys tonight, welcome to The Legal Show, and you're
1:41:19
Speaker 2: on the air. Hello there.
1:41:21
Speaker 9: Hello?
1:41:22
Speaker 2: Yes, do you have a legal question?
1:41:23
Speaker 13: Yes, I do, and I was surprised I get to
1:41:26
Speaker 13: be first. Thank you.
1:41:27
Speaker 24: You're welcome.
1:41:30
Speaker 13: Mine is about an estate problem that my brother passed
1:41:35
Speaker 13: away two years ago, and I'm an executor, and we've
1:41:41
Speaker 13: dissolved all the other assets except the house. And my
1:41:45
Speaker 13: problem is the next-door neighbor has interfered with all the
1:41:49
Speaker 13: sales of the realtor showing the house by videotaping anybody
1:41:55
Speaker 13: that they're showing it. She videotapes the people, their children,
1:41:59
Speaker 13: their license plates, and their vehicles. And she does it, like,
1:42:02
Speaker 13: from the street, or she has her car parked along
1:42:06
Speaker 13: the side of the house, and she'll do it from
1:42:10
Speaker 13: the car. And this intimidates people. anybody possible buying it.
1:42:14
Speaker 13: This is our second realtor, and the only thing that
1:42:17
Speaker 13: has happened so far is a trespassing where she was arrested.
1:42:23
Speaker 13: We had it sold on April 2nd, and the buyer
1:42:28
Speaker 13: sent out a surveyor for the bank, and she argued
1:42:33
Speaker 13: with them, and she called the police, and they arrested
1:42:36
Speaker 13: her because on other times of being called out there,
1:42:40
Speaker 13: the police said not to be on the property and.
1:42:44
Speaker 33: All of you call it about a month or two
1:42:46
Speaker 33: ago about.
1:42:46
Speaker 13: This yes i did but it was at the end
1:42:49
Speaker 13: of the show but the problem still ongoing.
1:42:52
Speaker 33: All day since i did you uh... make another police report.
1:42:56
Speaker 13: There there there there is no and another police report
1:43:01
Speaker 13: on the day that she called that and we've gone
1:43:04
Speaker 13: to uh... over the extended date in and it happened uh...
1:43:11
Speaker 13: She got a lawyer now, and so they asked for extensions.
1:43:15
Speaker 13: I've gone to court three times in Camel Court, and
1:43:20
Speaker 13: so far the judge has just postponed it or what
1:43:23
Speaker 13: do you call it?
1:43:24
Speaker 2: Reset it. There's a pretrial.
1:43:29
Speaker 33: Pretrial.
1:43:31
Speaker 13: Now, on September 4th, there is supposed to be a trial,
1:43:35
Speaker 13: and also she's on probation for doing this to the
1:43:38
Speaker 13: other neighbor on the other side of her home. And
1:43:42
Speaker 13: she was arrested for that, and she's been on probation
1:43:47
Speaker 13: for that. But they don't seem to do anything except probation.
1:43:52
Speaker 6: She probably has a bond.
1:43:54
Speaker 33: Yeah, it's a misdemeanor. She probably has a bond. But
1:43:57
Speaker 33: I will tell you this.
1:43:59
Speaker 6: You have to keep on showing up to court.
1:44:02
Speaker 10: A lot of people just stop showing up because a
1:44:04
Speaker 10: court process takes a really long time sometimes, and it's frustrating,
1:44:07
Speaker 10: and it gets reset multiple, multiple times, and people just
1:44:11
Speaker 10: get irritated and want to be done with it. But
1:44:12
Speaker 10: if you want something to be done, Attorney Melfi's right.
1:44:16
Speaker 10: Show up, keep showing up, keep fighting the good fight.
1:44:19
Speaker 13: Okay, now I had my real leader show up a
1:44:21
Speaker 13: couple times for this, and all they did was give
1:44:24
Speaker 13: it another date, another time.
1:44:27
Speaker 33: You know, the realtor, they have.
1:44:28
Speaker 13: Feedback on what people had said when they, why they
1:44:32
Speaker 13: didn't want to purchase this house.
1:44:35
Speaker 33: It's like our house is blackballed.
1:44:38
Speaker 13: You know, that they know about her causing trouble on
1:44:41
Speaker 13: the other side because that neighbor has the same troubles.
1:44:47
Speaker 13: They can't rent either. They can't sell.
1:44:50
Speaker 2: This is a tough position to be in. I mean,
1:44:52
Speaker 2: when you've got basically somebody that's got to be a real..
1:44:55
Speaker 33: Pain in the donkey.
1:44:58
Speaker 6: Yes. You have to keep showing up to court and
1:45:02
Speaker 6: let the process play out.
1:45:04
Speaker 13: But what can you do about a harassing person about that?
1:45:08
Speaker 33: Did you ever file a civil protection order?
1:45:12
Speaker 13: I went down to see the prosecutor on Tuesday, and
1:45:16
Speaker 13: she mentioned doing that, but she had nobody in mind.
1:45:20
Speaker 13: At one point, she did kill all the grass and
1:45:25
Speaker 13: shrubs on the side by her house and saying it
1:45:28
Speaker 13: was her property. And then I paid to have a surveyor.
1:45:32
Speaker 13: It took me two surveyors. The first one she argued with,
1:45:35
Speaker 13: and he ended up hanging up on me and wouldn't
1:45:37
Speaker 13: do it. Then I had another person that surveyed it,
1:45:40
Speaker 13: and she definitely was on our property. And she put
1:45:43
Speaker 13: up this snow fence and stuff and no trespassing, but
1:45:46
Speaker 13: it was on my brother's property.
1:45:50
Speaker 33: Talyn, where do you get the protection? Is it the
1:45:53
Speaker 33: clerk of courts you get the forms?
1:45:55
Speaker 10: Because it's not DV. Yeah, you don't have DV. So
1:45:59
Speaker 10: in order to have a civil protection order for DV,
1:46:02
Speaker 10: you have to be in fear of imminent bodily harm.
1:46:04
Speaker 10: I would say this is more..
1:46:05
Speaker 6: It's civil, but there's stalking.
1:46:09
Speaker 10: It's technically not stalking either. I would argue that it's
1:46:13
Speaker 10: more of a nuisance, more than stalking.
1:46:15
Speaker 33: It's harassment, but you could get a protective order, I believe.
1:46:18
Speaker 33: There is a civil. Do you live in Mahoning or
1:46:21
Speaker 33: Trumbull County?
1:46:22
Speaker 13: I'm in Trumbull County, but this house is Mahoning County.
1:46:26
Speaker 10: It's a separate process. So if it's DV, you go
1:46:30
Speaker 10: down in the basement. If it's civil, I believe it's
1:46:32
Speaker 10: the second floor.
1:46:33
Speaker 6: I think it's in the clerk's office.
1:46:34
Speaker 10: The second floor clerk's office, yeah.
1:46:36
Speaker 6: I would call the Mahoning County clerk of courts. Clerk's office, yep.
1:46:40
Speaker 6: And say, hey, I want to fill out the forms
1:46:44
Speaker 6: for a protective order. It's not a domestic wherein the
1:46:48
Speaker 6: courthouse has the forms. And you can go down and
1:46:52
Speaker 6: fill them out yourself.
1:46:54
Speaker 3: Okay.
1:46:54
Speaker 13: Now, is there a cost so I know that, I
1:46:57
Speaker 13: don't know, they don't take checks?
1:46:59
Speaker 10: No, there's no cost associated with that, ma'am. Just make
1:47:02
Speaker 10: sure that you list every incident in your petition.
1:47:05
Speaker 6: Okay.
1:47:06
Speaker 10: She will be serving.
1:47:07
Speaker 13: Well, I have all these police records and stuff.
1:47:09
Speaker 3: I'll take all these police times.
1:47:11
Speaker 33: Bring the police reports.
1:47:12
Speaker 6: You write a detailed narrative, and they'll set it for,
1:47:16
Speaker 6: and you can check ex parte and then full hearing.
1:47:19
Speaker 6: So an ex parte hearing means?
1:47:21
Speaker 10: A one-party hearing.
1:47:22
Speaker 33: A one-party hearing, exactly.
1:47:24
Speaker 6: And you'll go in front of a magistrate and tell
1:47:27
Speaker 6: them about the circumstances and what's going on, and they
1:47:31
Speaker 6: could either grant it or deny it or set it
1:47:32
Speaker 6: for a full hearing. But eventually there will be a
1:47:35
Speaker 6: full hearing.
1:47:37
Speaker 26: Okay, full hearing.
1:47:38
Speaker 6: So that's what I would do tomorrow.
1:47:39
Speaker 13: Well, I have to have my realtor bring the– I
1:47:44
Speaker 13: know they don't like to show up for court because
1:47:46
Speaker 13: they don't want to waste their time, but they do
1:47:48
Speaker 13: have feedback from when they showed the house.
1:47:52
Speaker 10: Not for the ex parte order, but you can always
1:47:54
Speaker 10: subpoena them for the final. So they'll set a final
1:47:56
Speaker 10: hearing within 10 days usually so the other party has
1:47:59
Speaker 10: a right to be heard. For the civil, not for DV,
1:48:02
Speaker 10: for the civil.
1:48:04
Speaker 13: Now, what am I asking for? Am I asking for
1:48:06
Speaker 13: the civil protection or what's the DV?
1:48:09
Speaker 33: Civil protection order, not domestic violence. Correct.
1:48:15
Speaker 10: It's technically called a civil stalking order in Mahoning County.
1:48:18
Speaker 10: So you're going to go to the second? floor or
1:48:20
Speaker 10: call the clerk of courts ask for the paperwork for
1:48:22
Speaker 10: a civil stalking order they also i believe have it
1:48:25
Speaker 10: online make sure you get the ex parte hearing explain
1:48:29
Speaker 10: to the judge exactly what's going on and why you
1:48:31
Speaker 10: feel as though you need this order then a hearing
1:48:34
Speaker 10: will be set for 10 days and she'll be served,
1:48:38
Speaker 10: and then she'll have the opportunity to be heard as well.
1:48:41
Speaker 10: That's when you really bring in the evidence, because that
1:48:43
Speaker 10: is an evidentiary hearing where you present your evidence, you
1:48:47
Speaker 10: present witnesses. If you have them, you can subpoena them,
1:48:49
Speaker 10: and then the defendant will have the opportunity to do
1:48:52
Speaker 10: so as well.
1:48:54
Speaker 13: Now, all this will take place in Mahoning County at
1:48:58
Speaker 13: the big courthouse.
1:48:59
Speaker 6: Big courthouse downtown. Yes, ma'am.
1:49:01
Speaker 9: Yes, ma'am.
1:49:02
Speaker 3: Okay.
1:49:03
Speaker 10: I wish you the best of luck.
1:49:05
Speaker 13: Okay, well, thank you so much. I tried to scribble, though,
1:49:07
Speaker 13: and write this down real quickly so I did the
1:49:09
Speaker 13: right thing. I'll call the clerk of courts and see.
1:49:14
Speaker 13: And it's called an ex parte hearing.
1:49:17
Speaker 10: Well, it's a civil stalking protection order.
1:49:20
Speaker 6: Sorry, go ahead, Jim. Yeah, not DV. Make sure you
1:49:22
Speaker 6: tell them this is not a domestic violence case.
1:49:24
Speaker 13: Civil stalking protection order.
1:49:27
Speaker 10: Protection order. And the forms are either online. I believe
1:49:30
Speaker 10: they're online. You can actually fill them out. But make
1:49:32
Speaker 10: sure you ask for an ex parte hearing.
1:49:35
Speaker 13: How do you spell expertise? How do you spell that?
1:49:37
Speaker 2: It's Latin.
1:49:39
Speaker 10: E-X-P-A-R-T-E. It just means one party. Everything's Latin in the
1:49:46
Speaker 10: legal world.
1:49:47
Speaker 13: And will that be on the form that I fill out?
1:49:49
Speaker 9: Yes, ma'am.
1:49:50
Speaker 10: There will be a little checkbox. I wish you the
1:49:52
Speaker 10: best of luck. And if you need to call us,
1:49:54
Speaker 10: you can ask for me, and I can re-over the
1:49:56
Speaker 10: process with you, okay?
1:49:57
Speaker 6: All right.
1:49:58
Speaker 2: Thank you.
1:49:59
Speaker 13: And what's the phone number there that I can.
1:50:01
Speaker 2: Ask for you again?
1:50:03
Speaker 33: I'm not sure, ma'am.
1:50:04
Speaker 10: I'm so sorry.
1:50:05
Speaker 2: All right, thanks. You're on air.
1:50:06
Speaker 30: Hello?
1:50:09
Speaker 6: Hi.
1:50:10
Speaker 4: Yes.
1:50:10
Speaker 34: I have a quick one-sentence criminal question.
1:50:15
Speaker 4: Yes.
1:50:16
Speaker 2: You sound like a criminal to me.
1:50:19
Speaker 34: Yeah, I get that a lot. So one of them
1:50:23
Speaker 34: would be, when is a good time not to waive
1:50:26
Speaker 34: your rights? Because you go to court the next morning.
1:50:28
Speaker 34: I'm not in that situation, but if I ever am, because,
1:50:31
Speaker 34: you know, I'm older and can't defend myself and a
1:50:33
Speaker 34: Second Amendment person, and I don't want to be in
1:50:35
Speaker 34: trouble because I did something I shouldn't have done, you know?
1:50:40
Speaker 9: Sorry, what's your question?
1:50:42
Speaker 10: Waive your rights? What do you mean by that, sir?
1:50:44
Speaker 6: I have no idea what you just said.
1:50:46
Speaker 34: Because you get an option to waive your rights to
1:50:47
Speaker 34: a speedy trial and a criminal trial, right? That's the
1:50:50
Speaker 34: first thing they ask you if you want to waive
1:50:52
Speaker 34: your rights.
1:50:52
Speaker 7: Waive your right.
1:50:54
Speaker 10: To a speedy trial. So everybody has a right to
1:50:57
Speaker 10: have a trial quickly.
1:50:59
Speaker 6: Meaning the state has to bring you to trial within
1:51:01
Speaker 6: a certain amount of time depending on the severity of
1:51:03
Speaker 6: the charge.
1:51:04
Speaker 31: Correct.
1:51:05
Speaker 10: But if there's discovery or things that are outstanding, a
1:51:08
Speaker 10: lot of people waive that right. So that way they
1:51:12
Speaker 10: can fully... do the investigation from start to finish, and
1:51:16
Speaker 10: that gives their attorney the opportunity to review everything and
1:51:19
Speaker 10: prepare for trial. Some cases, it is beneficial to waive
1:51:22
Speaker 10: your right. In other cases, if you're trying to get
1:51:24
Speaker 10: something done quickly or you need something done for your job,
1:51:26
Speaker 10: it's not beneficial. So it really just depends on the case.
1:51:31
Speaker 14: Okay, I was just curious.
1:51:32
Speaker 34: The other one real quick, and again, it doesn't really
1:51:35
Speaker 34: pertain to me, but we all go to lunch with
1:51:37
Speaker 34: friends sometimes.
1:51:37
Speaker 9: So say I have.
1:51:38
Speaker 34: Two or three drinks, I'm on my way home, I
1:51:40
Speaker 34: get stopped. Should I take the breathalyzer or should I just,
1:51:44
Speaker 34: because I'm going to fail at three drinks.
1:51:46
Speaker 7: You know, we all are.
1:51:48
Speaker 34: So should I do that or should I just let
1:51:51
Speaker 34: them prove it?
1:51:54
Speaker 25: All right.
1:51:55
Speaker 13: Okay.
1:51:57
Speaker 10: Did you say drinks or drinks? Because I'm pretty sure
1:51:59
Speaker 10: I heard three drinks.
1:51:59
Speaker 6: Let me ask you, caller, are you going to pass
1:52:01
Speaker 6: it now?
1:52:03
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
1:52:04
Speaker 3: No, I'm good.
1:52:04
Speaker 34: I'm at work right now. I don't even really drink, like,
1:52:07
Speaker 34: a couple times a year.
1:52:09
Speaker 2: You guys are hard on.
1:52:10
Speaker 34: Me, and I didn't do anything. I had a couple
1:52:12
Speaker 34: quick questions.
1:52:12
Speaker 3: I'm not a criminal, and I'm not drunk.
1:52:14
Speaker 33: Here's my advice on this.
1:52:18
Speaker 2: I mean, you do sound like a criminal drunk to me, caller.
1:52:20
Speaker 2: I'm just saying from my head.
1:52:21
Speaker 6: Here's my advice to you is, Like David always says,
1:52:25
Speaker 6: if you ever get pulled over, you've had a few drinks,
1:52:28
Speaker 6: you be very polite. You comply with the officer. If
1:52:34
Speaker 6: he says, sir, get out of the car. However, you
1:52:37
Speaker 6: do not need to admit to drinking. You can refuse
1:52:40
Speaker 6: the roadside field sobriety test. And guess what? There's about 100%
1:52:44
Speaker 6: chance you'll get arrested anyway if you perform them, if
1:52:47
Speaker 6: you don't. And don't take the breathalyzer.
1:52:51
Speaker 10: But also maybe not have three drinks on your lunch break.
1:52:53
Speaker 2: Isn't that an automatic suspension, though, if you don't take
1:52:56
Speaker 2: the breathalyzer?
1:52:57
Speaker 6: It's an automatic one-year suspension, but that's an administrative license suspension. Correct.
1:53:03
Speaker 6: Once you get a lawyer, there are procedures in place
1:53:06
Speaker 6: that that one-year suspension can be stayed and you can
1:53:10
Speaker 6: get privileges within two weeks.
1:53:13
Speaker 10: Like driving privileges to and from work, to the grocery store,
1:53:16
Speaker 10: things like that.
1:53:18
Speaker 8: Okay.
1:53:19
Speaker 34: Okay, well, I'll try not to commit any crimes or
1:53:22
Speaker 34: get drunk, but I was just curious because I hear
1:53:24
Speaker 34: people asking those questions, and I wasn't going to know.
1:53:27
Speaker 8: That's all.
1:53:27
Speaker 3: Right.
1:53:28
Speaker 2: It sounds to me like you're really asking from a
1:53:30
Speaker 2: personal level. Do you frequently have heavy drinking at lunchtime?
1:53:34
Speaker 6: Ron, he's asking for a friend.
1:53:35
Speaker 33: Oh, he's asking for a friend.
1:53:36
Speaker 10: For your friend.
1:53:38
Speaker 34: Please tell him on his lunch break, don't have a.
1:53:41
Speaker 10: Beer, and then drive and return to work.
1:53:42
Speaker 5: Right.
1:53:42
Speaker 10: That's what I asked. But tell your friend we said hi, okay?
1:53:45
Speaker 6: Thanks.
1:53:45
Speaker 2: Thanks.
1:53:46
Speaker 6: Maybe I want to hang out with this friend.
1:53:48
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
1:53:48
Speaker 10: Not during lunch.
1:53:49
Speaker 33: Maybe not during lunch.
1:53:50
Speaker 10: Maybe you need to drive him.
1:53:52
Speaker 2: That takes you back to your college year, Smelfie, and
1:53:55
Speaker 2: I don't think you want to go through those again.
1:53:56
Speaker 10: We both went to the same college. We really did
1:53:58
Speaker 10: have a good time.
1:53:59
Speaker 6: I'd cut my pinky off to do six months.
1:54:02
Speaker 2: Would you really?
1:54:03
Speaker 6: Absolutely.
1:54:04
Speaker 10: I'd probably cut off the tip.
1:54:05
Speaker 2: You wouldn't mean to go back to it?
1:54:08
Speaker 33: For six months?
1:54:09
Speaker 10: Oh, my gosh. Miami is so fun, Ron. Me and Jimmy,
1:54:13
Speaker 10: we should take Ron to Green Beer Day. We're going
1:54:15
Speaker 10: to take you to Green Beer Day. It's just going
1:54:17
Speaker 10: to happen.
1:54:18
Speaker 33: Ron, you ever start drinking beers at 1 o'clock in
1:54:19
Speaker 33: the morning?
1:54:20
Speaker 2: One o'clock in the morning.
1:54:22
Speaker 10: Until one o'clock the next day.
1:54:24
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. Absolutely not.
1:54:27
Speaker 6: Oh, come on.
1:54:28
Speaker 2: No.
1:54:29
Speaker 10: Listen here.
1:54:30
Speaker 2: That's absolutely not. All right. You're on the air with
1:54:35
Speaker 2: these troublemakers.
1:54:37
Speaker 4: Hello.
1:54:38
Speaker 7: Hello, troublemakers.
1:54:40
Speaker 21: I have a question on if your neighbor's tree is
1:54:44
Speaker 21: hanging over on your property and And I know the
1:54:47
Speaker 21: gold standard would be to send a certified letter, but
1:54:50
Speaker 21: in being cordial with the neighbor, if I have it
1:54:53
Speaker 21: in a text message to them, all of my concerns,
1:54:57
Speaker 21: does that suffice that if something would fall down and
1:55:01
Speaker 21: damage something on my property, I could present that and
1:55:05
Speaker 21: their insurance would cover it?
1:55:08
Speaker 8: No.
1:55:08
Speaker 6: It's not.
1:55:09
Speaker 33: It's sufficient.
1:55:10
Speaker 10: I would say you could produce it as evidence, but
1:55:13
Speaker 10: it's not like cold ironclad.
1:55:15
Speaker 6: Yeah, typically if a tree falls and the tree is
1:55:18
Speaker 6: on your neighbor's property but falls on yours and damages
1:55:21
Speaker 6: your property, your homeowners will pay. However, unless the homeowner
1:55:30
Speaker 6: has noticed by some arborist that this tree is going
1:55:33
Speaker 6: to fall, then, you know.
1:55:36
Speaker 21: Well, it's got some dead limbs from the storms, and
1:55:40
Speaker 21: one of the dead limbs is.
1:55:41
Speaker 24: Hanging directly over where we park our cars.
1:55:45
Speaker 10: So what I do, because I'm a nice neighbor and
1:55:47
Speaker 10: I live in the middle of the woods, if it
1:55:49
Speaker 10: is a branch from my tree and it's on my
1:55:52
Speaker 10: neighbor's property, obviously I walk my butt across the lot
1:55:55
Speaker 10: and I go get those tree branches, but everybody's not
1:55:57
Speaker 10: so nice. If it's a really big branch and you
1:56:01
Speaker 10: can't carry it yourself, I mean, you can always be,
1:56:03
Speaker 10: I mean, first start and ask.
1:56:05
Speaker 6: You can't cut down your neighbor's tree.
1:56:07
Speaker 9: Yeah.
1:56:08
Speaker 6: Bad idea.
1:56:09
Speaker 10: Well, you can't cut it, but if it's like, you know,
1:56:11
Speaker 10: you can just say, hey, is there any way you
1:56:13
Speaker 10: can remove this? I can't get into my driveway.
1:56:17
Speaker 5: Okay.
1:56:17
Speaker 24: But best thing would be to send a certified letter.
1:56:20
Speaker 9: I just wanted to be more.
1:56:22
Speaker 6: Send them a certified letter. And, Ron, you may or
1:56:25
Speaker 6: may not know this. If you cut down somebody's tree wrongfully.
1:56:29
Speaker 6: and say that tree was worth $ 5, 000, it's triple damages.
1:56:32
Speaker 10: It's not a good time, so don't cut down their tree.
1:56:34
Speaker 26: Wow.
1:56:35
Speaker 10: But if it lands on your property, they should remove it,
1:56:38
Speaker 10: but they probably won't. You are liable. I'm just a
1:56:41
Speaker 10: nice neighbor.
1:56:42
Speaker 3: All right.
1:56:42
Speaker 7: Right.
1:56:43
Speaker 9: Okay.
1:56:43
Speaker 26: Thank you.
1:56:44
Speaker 2: Good luck. Thank you. You know what I mean? And
1:56:47
Speaker 2: never damage the family tree is what I say when
1:56:50
Speaker 2: it comes to trees. When it comes to the family tree,
1:56:53
Speaker 2: above all else, Tali, you should know how old your
1:56:56
Speaker 2: father's turning on his birthday today. And not be close,
1:56:59
Speaker 2: but be right on the money. Would you not agree, Tally?
1:57:02
Speaker 10: I just think that's just very good for families.
1:57:03
Speaker 6: I remember the caller from two months ago.
1:57:05
Speaker 2: I just don't want to know my dad is old.
1:57:08
Speaker 2: He's going to turn 70 soon. I mean, he's not
1:57:11
Speaker 2: going to turn 70. He's going to turn 69. Why
1:57:13
Speaker 2: are you rushing him along?
1:57:15
Speaker 33: I don't want to know.
1:57:16
Speaker 10: Wouldn't it be hilarious, Ron, if Jimmy and his wife
1:57:19
Speaker 10: would have thrown his father a 70th birthday party? And
1:57:22
Speaker 10: he's like, I'm not even 70. That would have been
1:57:24
Speaker 10: so funny. We should do that for Dave.
1:57:26
Speaker 2: Yes.
1:57:27
Speaker 10: Yes.
1:57:28
Speaker 2: Throw him one of those. And take my advice. You
1:57:32
Speaker 2: want to throw it at, I don't know if you've
1:57:34
Speaker 2: ever been to this place called Leo's. I think she'd
1:57:36
Speaker 2: love going there, Jim. I think she would love it.
1:57:39
Speaker 2: And I actually ate Leo's last night.
1:57:42
Speaker 6: It was wonderful.
1:57:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. But, you know, I don't think she gets
1:57:44
Speaker 2: there very often. She'd probably like you to take her
1:57:47
Speaker 2: out once in a while to go to Leo's, right?
1:57:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, she doesn't get out very often at all. She's
1:57:51
Speaker 6: home rearing the children. And, yeah, when she gets out,
1:57:55
Speaker 6: that's where she loves to go.
1:57:56
Speaker 2: Right, right, right. All right.
1:57:58
Speaker 3: See you.
1:57:58
Speaker 2: I'm almost like psychic here, Jimmy. I know this kind
1:58:01
Speaker 2: of stuff, so you can't keep it from me. You're
1:58:03
Speaker 2: on the air. Hello.
1:58:05
Speaker 26: Hi.
1:58:06
Speaker 14: Can you hear me?
1:58:07
Speaker 4: Yes.
1:58:08
Speaker 2: I got a copy.
1:58:08
Speaker 22: How can we help you?
1:58:10
Speaker 25: Okay. Well, we had an experience the other night. My
1:58:14
Speaker 25: grandson's in from Georgia, and he wanted to treat me
1:58:18
Speaker 25: to going to see the Pirates game. And he did
1:58:23
Speaker 25: all the arranging of everything, and we got an Uber. Now,
1:58:26
Speaker 25: I've never driven in an Uber before. And anyway, neither
1:58:30
Speaker 25: has he. So long story short, we basically, and I
1:58:35
Speaker 25: am not kidding here, took our life into our own hands.
1:58:40
Speaker 2: Now, hang on a second here. I've got to pause
1:58:42
Speaker 2: for my headlines. I want you to hang on because
1:58:44
Speaker 2: I want to hear this story, okay? Can you hang on?
1:58:46
Speaker 2: I've got to get the headlines out of the way.
1:58:48
Speaker 2: This should be interesting. She almost took her life in
1:58:51
Speaker 2: her own hands. I can hardly wait. First the headlines,
1:58:54
Speaker 2: then we're back with The Legal Show, courtesy of Beatrice Kopp.
1:58:56
Speaker 2: Stay tuned. More to come in just a minute.
1:59:01
Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
1:59:10
Speaker 2: All righty, we are back with our attorneys tonight. NewsRadio
1:59:13
Speaker 2: 570 WKBN. This is The Legal Show brought to you
1:59:16
Speaker 2: by Beatrice Kopp and Attorney James Melfi. And Tally joins us,
1:59:22
Speaker 2: as always. And let's go back to this caller. So
1:59:24
Speaker 2: you called an Uber, I think you said, right, ma'am? Yes. Okay,
1:59:29
Speaker 2: tell the story to our attorneys now.
1:59:31
Speaker 7: Okay.
1:59:32
Speaker 25: First of all, it was supposed to come like 20
1:59:34
Speaker 25: after 4. The game was like 640. And, you know,
1:59:39
Speaker 25: they kept on saying, you know, we'll be there. And
1:59:41
Speaker 25: they changed the time like three times on us. They
1:59:43
Speaker 25: got there about, she, the woman, got there about quarter
1:59:46
Speaker 25: to 5. They give you, this is my first experience.
1:59:51
Speaker 25: So my grandson gave her the code word. And anyway,
1:59:56
Speaker 25: so we're on our way there. something has to be
2:00:00
Speaker 25: done with the way they do these Ubers because she
2:00:05
Speaker 25: was on her phone. She got three or four personal
2:00:08
Speaker 25: calls while driving. We got lost. She didn't know where
2:00:14
Speaker 25: the stadium was. She went off the road about three
2:00:20
Speaker 25: or four times. You know, when you, that makes the
2:00:22
Speaker 25: noise when your car is going off, you know, it
2:00:26
Speaker 25: makes those, the sound that happens three or four times
2:00:30
Speaker 25: in a row. And she said it was because the
2:00:32
Speaker 25: semis on the left of her were too close. Um,
2:00:36
Speaker 25: I asked her in the car, you know, how long
2:00:37
Speaker 25: she's been doing this, just making small talk. And I
2:00:40
Speaker 25: thought she said two years, but my grandson said, no,
2:00:44
Speaker 25: she said two weeks. Um, anyway, it was very scary. She,
2:00:50
Speaker 25: we didn't know how to get there. We should have
2:00:52
Speaker 25: researched ourselves. I'm, you know, like I said, first experience
2:00:55
Speaker 25: lesson learned, but, um, She had to hurry up and
2:01:00
Speaker 25: swerve into the other lane to get off the exit
2:01:02
Speaker 25: on the left side. She almost hit a barrier. I mean,
2:01:07
Speaker 25: like there was like a barrier where you make your
2:01:11
Speaker 25: left turn and then you go right.
2:01:12
Speaker 24: She almost hit that.
2:01:14
Speaker 25: My grandson and I was behind her on the driver's side.
2:01:18
Speaker 25: My grandson was on the passenger side in the back seat,
2:01:21
Speaker 25: and he could see more than I could see. She
2:01:23
Speaker 25: needed a break. Service light was on.
2:01:27
Speaker 8: Low gas.
2:01:28
Speaker 25: She ran out. She was running.
2:01:31
Speaker 10: Did you rate her on the Uber app? Did you
2:01:34
Speaker 10: give her a one star?
2:01:37
Speaker 25: Well, she was rated five stars. She'd only been doing this.
2:01:39
Speaker 25: She said she did Uber Eats and now she's doing
2:01:41
Speaker 25: Uber Fares. Had never been to this Pittsburgh Pirate Stadium.
2:01:46
Speaker 24: We went.
2:01:47
Speaker 25: She took us like five. probably 30 to 40 minutes out.
2:01:51
Speaker 7: Of the way.
2:01:52
Speaker 25: We had a backtrack. We got there a third inning.
2:01:54
Speaker 25: I mean, it was very scary. She almost wrecked a
2:01:56
Speaker 25: couple of times.
2:01:57
Speaker 2: You know what Tali's asking you is rate her and
2:01:59
Speaker 2: give her a bad review.
2:02:01
Speaker 33: Yeah, but there's going.
2:02:02
Speaker 13: To be more.
2:02:03
Speaker 25: There has to be more protection.
2:02:05
Speaker 10: Let Jimmy explain.
2:02:08
Speaker 2: Notify Uber, right, Tally?
2:02:10
Speaker 6: We did.
2:02:13
Speaker 25: My grandson got on there.
2:02:14
Speaker 3: He called.
2:02:15
Speaker 25: It's very, very hard to get through these people. He
2:02:17
Speaker 25: started talking about the experience and they basically shut him off.
2:02:21
Speaker 25: They hung up on him.
2:02:23
Speaker 2: Wow.
2:02:24
Speaker 6: I'm going to assume it is your last Uber ride.
2:02:25
Speaker 6: I'm also going to tell you the law is in
2:02:37
Speaker 6: favor of Uber and not the passenger. Correct. All Uber
2:02:42
Speaker 6: drivers are independent contractors, so you can't get to Uber
2:02:46
Speaker 6: if an Uber driver causes an accident in saying that
2:02:50
Speaker 6: they're working on behalf of the company. They're classified as
2:02:52
Speaker 6: independent contractors. The other problem you have, and I run
2:02:56
Speaker 6: into this frequently, is a lot of Uber drivers do
2:03:01
Speaker 6: not have business coverage on their vehicle. So if you're
2:03:06
Speaker 6: using like typical Uber drivers, a personal vehicle to handle
2:03:10
Speaker 6: Uber rides, there's a business exception to it. And if
2:03:13
Speaker 6: you're driving for Uber, their insurance won't cover it. So
2:03:18
Speaker 6: what I'm going to tell you is, and personally, I've
2:03:23
Speaker 6: been in a lot of Ubers and I get a
2:03:25
Speaker 6: little car sick in the small cars. I only get
2:03:28
Speaker 6: the I either do the XL or the black anymore.
2:03:34
Speaker 10: Because those are better.
2:03:35
Speaker 33: Drivers and they have insurance.
2:03:39
Speaker 10: It'll stay on there. They're more expensive, but honestly, it's
2:03:41
Speaker 10: worth it for your state of mind and your safety.
2:03:45
Speaker 6: How did you get back? Just out of curiosity.
2:03:47
Speaker 10: Did you ride in an Uber?
2:03:50
Speaker 25: Another guy picked us up. He was wonderful. I mean,
2:03:53
Speaker 25: he had the phone where you're looking at it. He
2:03:56
Speaker 25: wasn't holding it in his hands. She was constantly typing
2:03:59
Speaker 25: in things on the computer part of her dashboard. I mean,
2:04:03
Speaker 25: he was wonderful. I mean, it was a little scary
2:04:05
Speaker 25: because he went the back roads. She went through the
2:04:09
Speaker 25: turnpike tolls. She was complaining because now she has to
2:04:11
Speaker 25: pay tolls. I mean, it was a nightmare. I'm just
2:04:14
Speaker 25: glad we were praising God left and right that we
2:04:16
Speaker 25: got home, that we got there safely. I am not exaggerating.
2:04:21
Speaker 25: Her car was dirty. I mean, that's beside the point.
2:04:23
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you something as you go on.
2:04:26
Speaker 2: I do disagree with her on one thing. Usually when
2:04:28
Speaker 2: you notify them of the car, they are done with
2:04:34
Speaker 2: that person for driving with them. I mean, I've never
2:04:37
Speaker 2: heard of an experience like this. I know people that
2:04:41
Speaker 2: have done that, and they discontinue using that particular person.
2:04:45
Speaker 6: And I have a serious question is, are we sure
2:04:48
Speaker 6: David wasn't in a disguise and was the first Uber
2:04:50
Speaker 6: driver telling me the thing is beeping?
2:04:52
Speaker 2: That was my thoughts. Yeah. Okay, dear. Good luck. Good
2:04:58
Speaker 2: luck to you. I mean, oh, I mean, she can
2:05:01
Speaker 2: just leave a bad review, right? I mean, that's a
2:05:05
Speaker 2: bad review.
2:05:05
Speaker 10: Get your money back and do your research for the
2:05:07
Speaker 10: next one. Make sure that you have a good driver,
2:05:09
Speaker 10: one that has insurance and one that's rated and been
2:05:12
Speaker 10: doing it.
2:05:12
Speaker 6: For a while. That's why you've to, you've, To pay
2:05:14
Speaker 6: the extra few bucks and you get the XL. The XL. Mm-hmm.
2:05:20
Speaker 2: So keep it all in mind. That's what you got
2:05:22
Speaker 2: to do. All right. So legal questions, pick up the phone,
2:05:25
Speaker 2: give us a call. I had the same thought you did.
2:05:27
Speaker 2: Was Dave Beatrice driving? Because it sounds like, you know,
2:05:30
Speaker 2: his car was a mess and he was going fast
2:05:32
Speaker 2: and he was on the phone and he was running
2:05:34
Speaker 2: out of gas.
2:05:35
Speaker 33: Running out of gas, riding in the rumble strip.
2:05:38
Speaker 6: He would be the worst Uber driver of all time.
2:05:41
Speaker 10: I literally pull in to go into work, and I
2:05:44
Speaker 10: see his car door wide open, it's beeping, and his
2:05:47
Speaker 10: cell phone's in there. But David is not anywhere to
2:05:50
Speaker 10: be seen.
2:05:52
Speaker 6: You missed it. Frank, I was coming back with Frank
2:05:55
Speaker 6: from somewhere, and we parked in David's spot, but we
2:05:58
Speaker 6: parked crooked, and we pushed it up against the front door.
2:06:01
Speaker 6: I thought David was going to have a meltdown.
2:06:04
Speaker 10: I'm sure he was panicking.
2:06:06
Speaker 33: Ron, what do you think about Frank parking in his spot?
2:06:09
Speaker 2: Parking in Dave's spot?
2:06:10
Speaker 21: Yeah.
2:06:11
Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you something. I don't have a
2:06:12
Speaker 2: problem with it because, you know, Frank, a.k.a. the young
2:06:15
Speaker 2: Frank Sinatra, but in this case, I mean, Frank's on
2:06:20
Speaker 2: a winning streak, and I think Frank should have a
2:06:22
Speaker 2: premier parking spot because of how good he's doing.
2:06:25
Speaker 6: I mean, that's like stealing somebody's lunch out of their hand.
2:06:28
Speaker 6: The guy's been parking there for 20 years, and Frank
2:06:30
Speaker 6: just says, I'm parking here now. What are you going
2:06:31
Speaker 6: to do.
2:06:33
Speaker 2: About it? Frank's a man. You know what I mean?
2:06:37
Speaker 6: I wouldn't mess with him.
2:06:39
Speaker 2: I mean, it's how I view things. I mean, Frank
2:06:42
Speaker 2: is a man. What can I say? I mean, that's
2:06:45
Speaker 2: how I view things. I don't know what else to say.
2:06:48
Speaker 33: I see it the same way you do.
2:06:50
Speaker 10: I did tell Frank he was on my bad list, Ron.
2:06:53
Speaker 10: He sent me to a client in federal prison, and
2:06:58
Speaker 10: I was in a dress, and I didn't know you
2:06:59
Speaker 10: couldn't wear dresses, and I almost had to.
2:07:00
Speaker 6: You went to the private prison.
2:07:02
Speaker 10: Well, I almost had to wear a pair of their pants.
2:07:04
Speaker 6: Well, then I explained to you the core civic, and.
2:07:07
Speaker 10: I just wish somebody would have told me. So I
2:07:09
Speaker 10: told Frank, I said, you've got to let me know
2:07:11
Speaker 10: these things before I just show up.
2:07:13
Speaker 3: Yeah.
2:07:15
Speaker 2: You know, you could have asked me. I've never been
2:07:17
Speaker 2: to the prison, but I would say, Tally, you're wearing
2:07:20
Speaker 2: a dress, dress pants, not a dress to a prison.
2:07:23
Speaker 2: That kind of goes without saying, doesn't it, Jim?
2:07:26
Speaker 10: I was in court.
2:07:27
Speaker 6: I'm not going to comment on this.
2:07:29
Speaker 33: You know what?
2:07:29
Speaker 6: I don't.
2:07:30
Speaker 2: I mean, in all reality. Remember that first time you
2:07:35
Speaker 2: went to the prison? That's back during your cross-dressing days, Melfi,
2:07:39
Speaker 2: and you were wearing a dress. You probably wore a
2:07:42
Speaker 2: dress your first time, too. Or was that a Scottish kilt?
2:07:45
Speaker 2: Was it St. Patrick's Day? Maybe it wasn't a dress.
2:07:47
Speaker 6: Ron, you know I have a vow at the end
2:07:49
Speaker 6: of my name.
2:07:51
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I do. Okay. I was just checking on you, buddy.
2:07:55
Speaker 6: That's all.
2:07:56
Speaker 2: I didn't know what that was all about.

2:09:04
Speaker 2: at NewsRadio 570 at ODKVN? All right, so let's see
2:09:08
Speaker 2: what awaits me here. You're on the air. Hello, do
2:09:11
Speaker 2: you have a legal question?
2:09:13
Speaker 35: Well, to defend Dave Beatrice driving the Uber, he has
2:09:17
Speaker 35: many dinghies he's got to repair.
2:09:19
Speaker 7: So he needs the extra money.
2:09:22
Speaker 35: But the woman, the woman that had the bad Uber drive.
2:09:27
Speaker 4: Yes.
2:09:28
Speaker 35: I have a bad Uber driver in, I think it
2:09:30
Speaker 35: was Texas one time. He let me sit in the
2:09:33
Speaker 35: front seat. He was on his phone and I had
2:09:37
Speaker 35: to warn him that the traffic was completely stopped in
2:09:41
Speaker 35: front of me.
2:09:42
Speaker 12: So I think people should be aware of, you know,
2:09:45
Speaker 12: what they're.
2:09:46
Speaker 7: Dealing with, with these Uber drivers.
2:09:49
Speaker 35: And, uh, Tell Dave, you know, show up for the
2:09:52
Speaker 35: show once in a while.
2:09:54
Speaker 33: All right. It's the summer, and he's happy, and he's
2:09:59
Speaker 33: on his boat, and the best part is he's not
2:10:01
Speaker 33: calling us.
2:10:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, so far, so good.
2:10:05
Speaker 6: I will say I've had some great Uber experiences, maybe
2:10:07
Speaker 6: like four or five months ago, ordering Uber, and I
2:10:10
Speaker 6: didn't get a big one.
2:10:13
Speaker 33: Ron, you ever see Cheech and Chong?
2:10:15
Speaker 34: Yes.
2:10:16
Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely.
2:10:17
Speaker 33: I get in the backseat of this thing.
2:10:20
Speaker 6: I'm right in Cheech and Chong.
2:10:21
Speaker 33: I'm like, just give me the dinner, please.
2:10:26
Speaker 2: That's all you ask, right? It's like, please, please get
2:10:30
Speaker 2: me there. Dave is a guy that is doing a
2:10:34
Speaker 2: million things at once. I mean, that's what his problem is.
2:10:38
Speaker 2: Wait a second. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Dave's got to
2:10:41
Speaker 2: learn to focus when he's driving, and he doesn't do that.
2:10:45
Speaker 2: And I would say that's probably his biggest problem to
2:10:48
Speaker 2: a large extent. But, you know, people love when Dave
2:10:51
Speaker 2: comes on. He just talks about the life of Dave,
2:10:54
Speaker 2: if you will, and the stuff that he's going through.
2:10:57
Speaker 6: It's all self-induced.
2:11:00
Speaker 10: I don't agree. I think some of it's just really
2:11:02
Speaker 10: bad freaking luck.
2:11:04
Speaker 8: Yes.
2:11:04
Speaker 33: You're telling me somebody has that bad of a luck.
2:11:06
Speaker 6: All the time?
2:11:07
Speaker 14: Yes.
2:11:07
Speaker 2: I've known him..
2:11:08
Speaker 10: I think it's a good mix.
2:11:09
Speaker 2: I've known him longer than you guys have probably been alive,
2:11:12
Speaker 2: I hate to say. And this is his life. This
2:11:15
Speaker 2: is absolutely how he has been the entire time I've
2:11:20
Speaker 2: known him. This stuff has happened to him. And frankly,
2:11:23
Speaker 2: he never started revealing it to the public until he
2:11:25
Speaker 2: started talking about it on the program. And then people
2:11:30
Speaker 2: started to become more and more fascinated with it. I'd
2:11:32
Speaker 2: get all types of emails saying, about is Dave going
2:11:35
Speaker 2: to be on and how people loved when Dave was
2:11:36
Speaker 2: talking about the world of Dave.
2:11:39
Speaker 10: His life is crazy.
2:11:40
Speaker 2: And now he's embraced the video world of it with
2:11:44
Speaker 2: his Facebook followers that are saying now Dave has taken
2:11:47
Speaker 2: what he's done on the radio and he's taken it
2:11:49
Speaker 2: to the video. On Facebook, or is it TikTok? I
2:11:52
Speaker 2: thought it was Facebook.
2:11:53
Speaker 10: He does it all.
2:11:55
Speaker 33: TikTok has perfect for his attention span, 15 seconds.
2:11:58
Speaker 2: Right.
2:11:58
Speaker 31: TikTok, Instagram, Facebook.
2:12:01
Speaker 2: He's telling all of these stories when he's in Chicago
2:12:04
Speaker 2: with the young Frank Sinatra, if you will. I'm seeing,
2:12:08
Speaker 2: you know, Frank Cassis, I meant to say. And there
2:12:12
Speaker 2: are adventures that are there. I mean, where else can
2:12:15
Speaker 2: you see a picture? Dave has sent me a video
2:12:18
Speaker 2: of his car with a flat tire. I mean, and
2:12:20
Speaker 2: he's trying to get to court. It's really interesting. All right,
2:12:23
Speaker 2: back to it with our attorneys. You're on the air.
2:12:25
Speaker 6: Welcome.
2:12:26
Speaker 2: Hello.
2:12:27
Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
2:12:28
Speaker 14: How are you doing?
2:12:28
Speaker 10: Good.
2:12:29
Speaker 2: What's your question?
2:12:31
Speaker 14: My question or what I want to understand is the AI.
2:12:37
Speaker 2: Yes.
2:12:39
Speaker 14: How much are our students going to be paying for this?
2:12:43
Speaker 2: How much is what?
2:12:46
Speaker 14: How much are our students going to be paying for this?
2:12:50
Speaker 14: You get these in your communities and stuff.
2:12:53
Speaker 6: The data centers?
2:12:55
Speaker 2: That's not really a legal question. We wouldn't know the
2:13:00
Speaker 2: answer to that. We don't know. You're on the air.
2:13:02
Speaker 2: Wait a second. You're on the air.
2:13:04
Speaker 4: Hello.
2:13:05
Speaker 5: Hello?
2:13:06
Speaker 9: Yes.
2:13:07
Speaker 8: Oh, hi.
2:13:08
Speaker 26: I didn't know it was my turn. Okay. I have
2:13:12
Speaker 26: a boundary issue with my neighbor.
2:13:16
Speaker 2: Yes.
2:13:17
Speaker 26: He said that the... The boundaries were a certain position,
2:13:23
Speaker 26: and I was led to believe that when I purchased
2:13:28
Speaker 26: the land, the real estate agent gave me the footage
2:13:32
Speaker 26: of my land.
2:13:33
Speaker 2: Stand by for one minute. Right, just stand by. I've
2:13:35
Speaker 2: got to do a one-minute break. I'll come right back
2:13:37
Speaker 2: to you. Back with The Legal Show in 60 seconds.
2:13:46
Speaker 2: All right, back to your question. You got a property
2:13:49
Speaker 2: line dispute, ma'am? Wait a second. Are you there? Where
2:13:56
Speaker 2: did she go? Let me put her. Let's see if
2:13:59
Speaker 2: that was her. Are you there?
2:14:02
Speaker 13: Yeah.
2:14:03
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not talking about AI. All right. I want
2:14:11
Speaker 2: to find that other woman. All right, I'm going to
2:14:13
Speaker 2: click you off again. You're on the air.
2:14:15
Speaker 6: Story of your life, Ron.
2:14:17
Speaker 2: I know. I'm always taking somebody off. But at least
2:14:21
Speaker 2: when my father was alive, I knew what year he
2:14:22
Speaker 2: was turning 70.
2:14:23
Speaker 33: I was saying finding the other woman. I said story
2:14:25
Speaker 33: of your life.
2:14:27
Speaker 2: There you go. I'm always looking.
2:14:29
Speaker 5: All right.
2:14:30
Speaker 2: Are you there, caller? Let me try one more time.
2:14:32
Speaker 2: I apologize. I think I lost my connection. All right, well,
2:14:37
Speaker 2: you're going to have to call me back, dear, because
2:14:39
Speaker 2: somehow I screwed things up on your property line dispute.
2:14:43
Speaker 2: Call me back, 330-729-9977. We'll get you through to us,
2:14:47
Speaker 2: and I'll try to get you on as quickly as
2:14:49
Speaker 2: I can. 330-729-9977. We'll get you through to us as
2:14:54
Speaker 2: these lines ring. Let me see. You're on the air.
2:14:58
Speaker 7: Yes.
2:14:58
Speaker 2: All right. This guy and his AI question is going
2:15:03
Speaker 2: to drive me right up the wall. What am I
2:15:06
Speaker 2: supposed to do, Melfi? I'm right on the edge of
2:15:08
Speaker 2: a nervous breakdown.
2:15:09
Speaker 33: You can listen to my segment on AI, maybe like Monday.
2:15:13
Speaker 10: Do what Dave does. Go for a cold plunge.
2:15:16
Speaker 2: Oh, no, that's absolute insanity to do that kind of stuff.
2:15:18
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
2:15:21
Speaker 33: He's always curly hairs behind.
2:15:23
Speaker 2: So Frank has taken over Dave's parking spot. Do you
2:15:26
Speaker 2: think Frank is in the wrong?
2:15:29
Speaker 6: No, I love it.
2:15:30
Speaker 33: I encourage it because I love the banter.
2:15:34
Speaker 2: So does it say reserve parking for attorney David Beatrice?
2:15:37
Speaker 2: Is it marked?
2:15:38
Speaker 10: No, we just all kind of have spots that we see.
2:15:41
Speaker 33: It's an understood rule.
2:15:42
Speaker 14: Yeah.
2:15:43
Speaker 6: But I love the conflict. I love the constant conflict
2:15:46
Speaker 6: between Frank and David.
2:15:47
Speaker 2: And the tension?
2:15:48
Speaker 33: Because I get amusement from it.
2:15:49
Speaker 10: Yeah, it entertains the rest of the people in the office.
2:15:52
Speaker 2: Right. So, I mean, are you working on the 2027
2:15:54
Speaker 2: Beatrice calendar?
2:15:57
Speaker 33: His swimsuit calendar?
2:15:59
Speaker 6: Yes. That's what I should do. I should do a
2:16:01
Speaker 6: swimsuit calendar for him.
2:16:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, when he's up on the yacht, get some pictures
2:16:04
Speaker 2: of him, yeah.
2:16:05
Speaker 6: I could.
2:16:06
Speaker 10: We can message Pam and see if she can assist.
2:16:09
Speaker 2: You think she would be in on the conspiracy that
2:16:11
Speaker 2: we could do? I mean, would she go along with it?
2:16:14
Speaker 2: That's the question.
2:16:15
Speaker 8: Maybe.
2:16:16
Speaker 6: Perhaps.
2:16:17
Speaker 5: For him.
2:16:18
Speaker 2: We just got to send somebody up undercover. Like when
2:16:21
Speaker 2: Frank's on there or if he invites you guys from
2:16:24
Speaker 2: time to time, you're just going to have to go
2:16:26
Speaker 2: and take some secret pictures of him.
2:16:28
Speaker 6: I'm pretty good at that.
2:16:29
Speaker 2: Have you been on the boat?
2:16:30
Speaker 10: He would totally expect it from me, so I can't.
2:16:32
Speaker 6: Not this year.
2:16:33
Speaker 2: Isn't that interesting? He's kind of distancing himself a little bit, huh?
2:16:39
Speaker 2: Knowing that these pranks that you're pulling, he's not finding amusing, Melfi?
2:16:43
Speaker 6: Because what am I going to do, sink his boat wrong?
2:16:48
Speaker 2: Like the Lusitania? Hey, Jim, I think he's doing that
2:16:53
Speaker 2: pretty good on his own based.
2:16:54
Speaker 6: On what I heard.
2:16:55
Speaker 33: Yeah, he doesn't need my help. He doesn't need my
2:16:57
Speaker 33: help to do that. Hit an iceberg?
2:16:59
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what he hit, whatever
2:17:01
Speaker 2: he hit. And, of course, it wasn't his fault. It
2:17:03
Speaker 2: was the navigational system's fault.
2:17:05
Speaker 10: Yeah, something else's fault.
2:17:07
Speaker 6: I will say this. David can't operate anything. There's no
2:17:12
Speaker 6: mechanical skills, but he knows his boat. He knows his boats.
2:17:15
Speaker 6: I will give him credit on that.
2:17:16
Speaker 10: I'll hear him in his office just like screaming and
2:17:19
Speaker 10: cursing over something with email. I just peek in. Do
2:17:21
Speaker 10: you need help sending that?
2:17:24
Speaker 2: Well, sometimes it can be frustrating. Things never go as
2:17:27
Speaker 2: you often plan them to go, right?
2:17:29
Speaker 10: That is true.
2:17:30
Speaker 33: Yeah, boomers in technology, Ron.
2:17:33
Speaker 10: He did teach me how to use TikTok, though. I
2:17:35
Speaker 10: give him credit for that.
2:17:37
Speaker 2: He's big on social media. And, I mean, you know,
2:17:40
Speaker 2: people enjoy following the life of Attorney Beatrice, trust me,
2:17:43
Speaker 2: and his trials and tribulations. I mean, whether it's the
2:17:47
Speaker 2: flat tire, whether it's traveling with Frank to Chicago. Chicago,
2:17:51
Speaker 2: whether it's just Dave's day-to-day things that happen to him
2:17:54
Speaker 2: that just don't happen to anybody else.
2:17:56
Speaker 6: Which I told those guys, it's wild that you're flying
2:17:59
Speaker 6: to Chicago. By the time you get to the airport,
2:18:01
Speaker 6: go through security, get on the plane, deport.
2:18:03
