0:05
Speaker 2: Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome. 3.05 in the afternoon, NewsRadio 570 WKBN. Hello,
0:11
Speaker 2: it's Ron Verb from the Kingdom of Mahoning here on
0:14
Speaker 2: this Thursday, October 22nd. We are at 66 degrees. It
0:19
Speaker 2: is just a perfect, and I do mean perfect, day
0:22
Speaker 2: out there today. On this Thursday being Thursday, that means
0:24
Speaker 2: we have the legal show coming your way today from
0:26
Speaker 2: 5 to 6, free legal advice, courtesy of the law
0:30
Speaker 2: firm Beatrice Kopp. And then from 6 to 7 tonight,
0:33
Speaker 2: John Arnold's on the air with Money Talks. That'll be
0:35
Speaker 2: 6 to 7 tonight here on NewsRadio 570 WDQ. And
0:39
Speaker 2: Hannity after Arnold's show at 7. That's how our Thursday
0:43
Speaker 2: lineup works. So between 3 and 5 today, we conversate here.
0:48
Speaker 2: About what's going on in the world, what's on your mind,
0:50
Speaker 2: and what's happening at 330-729-9977.
0:51
Speaker 3: 330-729-9977.
0:51
Speaker 4: 330-729-9977.
0:51
Speaker 2: Of course, I mentioned a polling showing Amy Acton's ahead
0:53
Speaker 2: of Ramaswamy. And Sherrod Brown is ahead of Houston. I
0:55
Speaker 2: mentioned that to you yesterday. I mentioned it to you
0:57
Speaker 2: today as far as the polling is concerned. if you
1:14
Speaker 2: believe the polls. But anyway, it is what it is.
1:17
Speaker 2: That's what they say. And I'm just shocked by it all.
1:22
Speaker 2: I mean, Amy Acton, I'm trying to figure out what
1:25
Speaker 2: her experience is to run a $ 100 billion business like
1:30
Speaker 2: the state of Ohio or, I mean, the state of Ohio.
1:33
Speaker 2: I just don't, I don't get the people that are
1:37
Speaker 2: going to vote for her at all. I mean, she
1:39
Speaker 2: is a, she's a physician. But I don't know that
1:46
Speaker 2: she's really practiced of her. But she's a physician. But
1:50
Speaker 2: that doesn't qualify, in my opinion, to be able to
1:53
Speaker 2: run the state of Ohio. It's just very strange. This
1:58
Speaker 2: is all really strange to me. I mean, Sherry Brown
2:02
Speaker 2: has been in a Senate for the longest period of time.
2:05
Speaker 2: I told you yesterday. I tell you again today. And
2:06
Speaker 2: he believes in all the lunacy that Joe Biden did.
2:10
Speaker 2: And he believes in every bit of that. So, I mean,
2:13
Speaker 2: there's no way I could vote for Sherrod Brown. There's
2:15
Speaker 2: no way I can vote for Amy Acton. And the
2:18
Speaker 2: fact that this red state of Ohio would do that,
2:22
Speaker 2: I tell you, I just shake my head. And I
2:25
Speaker 2: just tell you, well, not with my votes. It's not
2:27
Speaker 2: going to happen with my votes because there's no way
2:30
Speaker 2: I will vote for either one of them. So there
2:34
Speaker 2: you go. That's just one of the things I want
2:35
Speaker 2: to mention at the start of the broadcast today. Also
2:38
Speaker 2: wanted to mention, by the way, when people call me
2:40
Speaker 2: about Medicare, open enrollment period's on between now and December 7th.
2:48
Speaker 2: So here's a public service announcement for you. If you're
2:51
Speaker 2: on Medicare, if you're on Medicare, doesn't matter to me
2:56
Speaker 2: if Standard Medicare or Medicare Advantage, if you're on Medicare
3:00
Speaker 2: during this time, Review period between now and December 7th.
3:06
Speaker 2: Do not ignore that review period. Do not ignore it.
3:10
Speaker 2: Changes have happened. And you should be aware of those.
3:15
Speaker 2: All right. So it can be confusing. I can tell
3:18
Speaker 2: you this. It can be confusing. Make no mistake about it.
3:22
Speaker 2: I just got done recording our Sunday show with the
3:25
Speaker 2: good guys from Yost Insurance. And I will tell you
3:28
Speaker 2: this much. If you're confused, go see those guys down
3:31
Speaker 2: at Yost Insurance. They're in Columbiana. All right. They're located
3:34
Speaker 2: in Columbiana. Doesn't matter if you've been a client of
3:37
Speaker 2: theirs or not. Doesn't matter. That's all they do is Medicare,
3:42
Speaker 2: and that's all they specialize in is Medicare, and they
3:45
Speaker 2: will review what you're on and let you know if
3:48
Speaker 2: it's still the right option for you or what your
3:50
Speaker 2: best options are. I highly, highly tell you, do not
3:53
Speaker 2: ignore the review period for Medicare. Just because you say,
3:56
Speaker 2: I'm on Medicare, why do I have to do the
3:58
Speaker 2: review period? Because networks change, deductibles change. If you're on
4:04
Speaker 2: an Advantage plan, the entire insurance system Situation can change
4:10
Speaker 2: as far as what just some of the changes that
4:13
Speaker 2: they got going on. And if you're on standard Medicare,
4:18
Speaker 2: could be changes to your Part D prescription plan. They
4:21
Speaker 2: can review all of that for you. And they do
4:23
Speaker 2: it for free. Really, they do it for free. Doesn't
4:26
Speaker 2: matter whether you're a client or not. That's all they do.
4:30
Speaker 2: It's Medicare. They don't do anything else. They don't sell
4:32
Speaker 2: car insurance or any of that kind of stuff. So
4:34
Speaker 2: keep it in mind. You should do a review. Go
4:37
Speaker 2: see the guys at Yost Insurance. They're in Columbiana. Okay,
4:39
Speaker 2: you'll find them in Columbiana. Y-O-S-T, Yost. All right, enough said.
4:45
Speaker 2: You're on the air. Hello.
4:48
Speaker 5: How are you doing today, Ron?
4:50
Speaker 2: Oh, it's Emmanuel. Emmanuel, Emmanuel. Folks, we start the program
4:55
Speaker 2: off with a troublemaker. He's here to make trouble.
4:58
Speaker 5: Yeah, that too, but this is a call where I
5:04
Speaker 5: need your help.
5:06
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm here.
5:07
Speaker 2: I give advice to the lovelorn, too. I'm here for you.
5:09
Speaker 2: Come forward.
5:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, I really, truly need your guidance on this. I'm
5:19
Speaker 5: looking at what's going on, but first of all, both sides...
5:24
Speaker 5: These commercials, whether you're a Democrat, whether you're a Republican,
5:28
Speaker 5: it's crazy, these commercials. But what I'm asking you is this, okay?
5:34
Speaker 5: Looking back, your opinion, just me and you, I don't
5:39
Speaker 5: care who's listening, Ted, G2, whatever, your opinion, Mr.
5:43
Speaker 6: Romberg, my friend.
5:44
Speaker 7: Yeah, you and me, right.
5:45
Speaker 6: I agree with that, yes.
5:49
Speaker 5: Explain to me your opinion. on just what America First is,
5:56
Speaker 5: and do you think this administration is doing America First
6:04
Speaker 5: and they're doing what you voted for? That has a
6:09
Speaker 5: lot to do with the way people.
6:11
Speaker 6: Are voting now.
6:14
Speaker 2: That is an excellent question, actually. I've got to commend you.
6:18
Speaker 2: As I've said in the past many times, as I
6:19
Speaker 2: would say to all of you, for the most part,
6:21
Speaker 2: I've been disappointed in most politicians, Republicans and Democrats. I
6:26
Speaker 2: think when I'm talking from the presidency and in many cases, senators,
6:30
Speaker 2: I think most of them were globalist. I never felt
6:33
Speaker 2: any of them had my best interest as my country
6:35
Speaker 2: at heart. I think they were more concerned with the
6:37
Speaker 2: rest of the world. You asked me, do I think
6:39
Speaker 2: that that's what is America first? I believe in America
6:42
Speaker 2: first because this is my country. I'm an American. And
6:47
Speaker 2: I think that it has been dealt a terrible blow
6:51
Speaker 2: over the years by Democrats and Republicans. So I do
6:56
Speaker 2: think that Trump is a different type president, and he
7:00
Speaker 2: does believe in America first. You asked me that question.
7:02
Speaker 2: So why do I say that? I get in regular
7:05
Speaker 2: discussions and debates with people over tariffs. And as I've
7:09
Speaker 2: said to you numerous times, the best social program is
7:11
Speaker 2: a good job. And this idea that we could literally
7:17
Speaker 2: have everything made in these other countries at slave wage nations.
7:21
Speaker 2: I mean, I acknowledge we cannot compete with these other
7:24
Speaker 2: countries with childhood labor. They don't pay Social Security. They
7:27
Speaker 2: don't pay unemployment. They don't have to worry about OSHA.
7:30
Speaker 2: They don't have to worry about health care benefits. They
7:33
Speaker 2: don't do any of that. They do not have our
7:34
Speaker 2: standards in Vietnam, in India. in China. So they can
7:40
Speaker 2: produce things at a much lower cost than we can.
7:42
Speaker 2: And if we let all that stuff come into our country,
7:45
Speaker 2: we can put everybody out of work. We will basically
7:50
Speaker 2: concede manufacturing. And quite frankly, it's beyond manufacturing now. We
7:55
Speaker 2: could concede many intellectual jobs as well. It will just
7:58
Speaker 2: disappear because the $ 100, 000 engineer here is $ 5, 000 in India.
8:05
Speaker 2: So with that being in mind, I look at Trump
8:07
Speaker 2: and I support his tariffs. And I know the Democrats argue,
8:11
Speaker 2: but it costs you more as a consumer. Well, guess what?
8:14
Speaker 2: You got to have jobs for your people. People with
8:16
Speaker 2: jobs don't commit crime. They're able to pay taxes. They're
8:19
Speaker 2: able to provide for their families. It is the best
8:22
Speaker 2: social program. So when you talk to me about America first,
8:25
Speaker 2: I think that the tariff situation is a wise situation
8:28
Speaker 2: to protect America and American jobs and America's lifestyle. So
8:33
Speaker 2: am I comfortable with him? Well, I'm 100% comfortable with that.
8:37
Speaker 2: Number two, I think that it's a travesty that what
8:39
Speaker 2: took place in this country with millions and millions of
8:42
Speaker 2: people coming in undocumented into this country, which lessens, waters
8:46
Speaker 2: down your citizenship. Doesn't matter if I'm talking mine or
8:49
Speaker 2: Emanuel's or anybody else's. There's one way to come to
8:52
Speaker 2: this country, and it's legally. It is a privilege to
8:55
Speaker 2: come here, not a right. We never voted on it.
8:58
Speaker 2: We didn't have a say-so in it. And all these
9:00
Speaker 2: people came to our country, millions of people we know
9:03
Speaker 2: nothing about, and dramatically watered down your citizenship. And it's
9:06
Speaker 2: hard as hell to get them out of here now.
9:09
Speaker 2: with the Democrat Party fighting all of those processes to
9:13
Speaker 2: get him out. I'm alarmed and shocked that the Democrats
9:16
Speaker 2: fight a guy in New York that has a long criminal,
9:19
Speaker 2: violent criminal history that's in this country illegally. And because
9:22
Speaker 2: ICE ultimately ended up shooting him because he was fleeing,
9:26
Speaker 2: all of a sudden ICE is the villain and we're
9:29
Speaker 2: glorifying this criminal. and a vicious criminal at that. So
9:34
Speaker 2: I support what Trump did on closing the border. First,
9:37
Speaker 2: shut down the border, which he did. Secure the country,
9:40
Speaker 2: which he did. We're still deporting people, not nearly enough,
9:45
Speaker 2: and they should be deported out of this country. So
9:49
Speaker 2: when you bring all these people into the country and
9:51
Speaker 2: you say you have a housing shortage, you increase rents
9:54
Speaker 2: and the cost of housing because now you have millions
9:56
Speaker 2: and millions of additional people here that are competing for that.
10:00
Speaker 2: often paid for by your federal government, incidentally. So I
10:05
Speaker 2: support Trump as far as a closed border, getting people
10:07
Speaker 2: out of here. I support him as far as tariffs.
10:09
Speaker 2: This is my American-first policy. agenda that he's talking about.
10:13
Speaker 2: Also with tariffs, what you see is companies that are
10:16
Speaker 2: coming back to our country, billions of dollars, coming back
10:19
Speaker 2: to our country because these employers are fearful of tariffs.
10:22
Speaker 2: They're afraid if we build over here and they put
10:24
Speaker 2: a tariff, it's going to affect us getting our products
10:27
Speaker 2: into the United States. How many of us were upset
10:32
Speaker 2: because we couldn't buy prescription drugs or China threatened to
10:35
Speaker 2: cut us off, let me put it that way, during COVID.
10:37
Speaker 2: And people ask the question, you mean to tell me
10:39
Speaker 2: we don't make these antibiotics or any of this stuff here?
10:41
Speaker 2: And the answer is no, we do not. And we
10:44
Speaker 2: were at the mercy of China. And Trump wants that
10:47
Speaker 2: manufacturing to come back to the United States. Now, guess what?
10:51
Speaker 2: It might mean you might have to pay more for
10:53
Speaker 2: your generic drugs, but we should never be at the
10:56
Speaker 2: mercy of communist China. I don't trust them and I
10:58
Speaker 2: don't trust their quality control, quite frankly. So I would
11:02
Speaker 2: rather that come back to our country. In general, Trump
11:10
Speaker 2: has done some remarkable things as far as the world
11:13
Speaker 2: is concerned. Obviously, as you well know, he's disappointed me
11:15
Speaker 2: with the situation in Iran. I personally am against it.
11:19
Speaker 2: I think it was a mistake. But I always say this,
11:22
Speaker 2: and I got to say it, and I got to
11:23
Speaker 2: say it to you again. I don't know what these
11:26
Speaker 2: guys know. They're not going to tell me the inside
11:28
Speaker 2: information of what was going on or what they're concerned
11:31
Speaker 2: about in that inner circle. I don't know. I can
11:34
Speaker 2: give you an opinion, but I don't have all the
11:37
Speaker 2: facts like they have. They might know some stuff that
11:39
Speaker 2: was going on through the NSA that I have no
11:41
Speaker 2: clue what was going on that needed to be dealt with.
11:44
Speaker 2: But I do think Iran is a terrorist country, is
11:47
Speaker 2: a terrorist threat, and needs to be monitored. But we
11:52
Speaker 2: shall see. I think that he's paying a dear price
11:55
Speaker 2: as a result of it. I also like Trump with
11:59
Speaker 2: America First because his energy policy is about becoming more
12:02
Speaker 2: energy independent, drilling in our country offshore and on federal lands,
12:07
Speaker 2: which Biden put regulations against. So I support the more
12:12
Speaker 2: active drilling. I support his tax plans where he gives
12:15
Speaker 2: tax breaks like to small business. You can write off
12:18
Speaker 2: a truck the year you buy it. You don't have
12:20
Speaker 2: to do it over a period of years. That's huge
12:22
Speaker 2: for small business. Well, if you depreciate as.
12:25
Speaker 5: Soon as you take it off the doggone lot, I
12:27
Speaker 5: guess you're supposed to get the money back. But go ahead.
12:35
Speaker 2: That's an excellent point, incidentally.
12:39
Speaker 5: I've got two more questions.
12:42
Speaker 2: I could go on with this, but for the first
12:44
Speaker 2: time in my history, I felt that there were maybe
12:48
Speaker 2: three presidents, and I've been around a long time, as
12:51
Speaker 2: I get close to the end, obviously, that really made
12:54
Speaker 2: a huge difference in my life. Ronald Reagan, I think,
12:58
Speaker 2: when you took a tear down the wall and all
13:00
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, I would throw into that category,
13:04
Speaker 2: while he never was successful, I thought Ross Perot was
13:07
Speaker 2: spot on the money. Everything Perot said came true as
13:10
Speaker 2: far as companies leaving and stagnant wages. So I supported Perot.
13:16
Speaker 2: Reagan made a huge difference. And I believe despite my
13:18
Speaker 2: criticisms of Trump, he has done a great deal to
13:21
Speaker 2: benefit this country. And to a certain extent, as brash
13:25
Speaker 2: as he can be, there's one thing I must say
13:28
Speaker 2: to all of you. I support the fact that he's himself.
13:32
Speaker 2: He's not a phony. And there's so much phoniness in
13:34
Speaker 2: politics where you go out and you do this phony stuff.
13:37
Speaker 2: And I mean Republicans and Democrats. They're just a group
13:40
Speaker 2: of phonies. And Trump is just comfortable being himself and
13:43
Speaker 2: saying what he has to say. And it can be shocking.
13:45
Speaker 2: But that's who he is. And to a certain extent,
13:49
Speaker 2: some of that is refreshing.
13:51
Speaker 8: Okay, now.
13:53
Speaker 5: I didn't get these questions off the top of my head.
13:56
Speaker 5: I was listening to MGT or MTG.
14:01
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
14:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, she was talking about America first, and she said
14:07
Speaker 5: that America first is not the United States being the
14:11
Speaker 5: police officer of the world, you know, telling people who
14:14
Speaker 5: should be leading people and attacking other people. That's not
14:18
Speaker 5: America first. And she said also, too, she understands everything
14:22
Speaker 5: that you just now said, but she believes more can
14:26
Speaker 5: be done here. in America instead of spending the money
14:30
Speaker 5: somewhere else.
14:33
Speaker 2: I totally agree with that. The part I don't like
14:35
Speaker 2: about Trump, I sided with Massey. I believe all foreign
14:38
Speaker 2: aid should come to an end because we can't afford it.
14:41
Speaker 2: We need to deal with our debt and deficit. We
14:43
Speaker 2: need to bolster up Social Security. I think all foreign
14:46
Speaker 2: aid should end. We should get spending in line. It's
14:48
Speaker 2: out of control. I agree with her, and I think
14:51
Speaker 2: that's a problem of Republicans and Democrats, and that's a
14:55
Speaker 2: huge concern for the country. I also agree that we
14:59
Speaker 2: shouldn't be the policemen of the world, but I got
15:01
Speaker 2: to put a comment. We should be? No, we shouldn't be,
15:05
Speaker 2: but I got to put a comment in there. Some
15:08
Speaker 2: of the atrocities that you see that go on in
15:11
Speaker 2: this world, sometimes I don't know that you can ignore them,
15:14
Speaker 2: whether that's the situation in Africa where you had just
15:18
Speaker 2: this massive killing that was taking place. Some of these
15:21
Speaker 2: things I don't know that you can sit back and
15:24
Speaker 2: and totally void yourself of and ignore. And as I say,
15:31
Speaker 2: we shouldn't be the policeman of the world in every sense,
15:34
Speaker 2: but I don't know what Iran was up to. Iran
15:37
Speaker 2: certainly is not a fan of the United States and
15:41
Speaker 2: is a serious issue as far as terrorism is concerned
15:44
Speaker 2: and funding terrorism. So there's things also I would acknowledge
15:48
Speaker 2: you cannot.
15:49
Speaker 5: We're involved with other countries, you know, and that's been... No.
15:54
Speaker 2: There's things that you can't ignore. But I don't think
16:00
Speaker 2: really anyone in the Middle East ultimately will side with
16:04
Speaker 2: the United States of America just based on their philosophy.
16:08
Speaker 2: I had a son that was in the military for many,
16:11
Speaker 2: many years, and as he explained to me, You don't
16:15
Speaker 2: understand that culture until you're over there, and if you
16:19
Speaker 2: think they think like you, they don't think anything at
16:22
Speaker 2: all like you. They grew up differently, the different religion,
16:26
Speaker 2: different backgrounds. You think they want what you want? That's
16:30
Speaker 2: not accurate, he said. It's a very bizarre place to be.
16:33
Speaker 5: I've been biting my tongue wrong, but there's something I've
16:36
Speaker 5: got to say.
16:39
Speaker 2: I love you, too. I love you, too, just so
16:42
Speaker 2: you know. Is that what you got?
16:44
Speaker 9: Okay.
16:45
Speaker 5: There's something I got to say, Ron.
16:46
Speaker 2: Yes, go ahead.
16:49
Speaker 5: I was listening to you, G2, and that old Ted guy.
16:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, hang on, hang on. Back with Emanuel in a minute.
16:57
Speaker 2: Enjoy my conversations with Emanuel. 322 in the afternoon. Welcome
17:01
Speaker 2: to a good-looking Thursday. I'll be right back with Emanuel. Well,
17:08
Speaker 2: by now you should.
17:09
Speaker 6: KBN.
17:09
Speaker 2: All right.
17:10
Speaker 10: Lovely day.
17:10
Speaker 3: 325.
17:10
Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead, Emanuel.
17:15
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm going to go ahead and say it. I
17:17
Speaker 5: was listening to you guys, the three of you guys talk, Ted, G2,
17:22
Speaker 5: and you.
17:22
Speaker 7: Yeah.
17:23
Speaker 5: And you guys, and I think Ted was talking about
17:28
Speaker 5: over in London or something.
17:29
Speaker 2: Yes.
17:29
Speaker 5: Where he got on a bus.
17:31
Speaker 2: Subway, the subway. Just to rehash for people, basically G2 was– G2,
17:39
Speaker 2: there's something that was called the replacement theory that people
17:42
Speaker 2: poo-pooed in this country, but it's very much happening. But
17:45
Speaker 2: over there, it's a huge problem as far as people–
17:49
Speaker 2: The amount of people that were brought into these countries
17:52
Speaker 2: that weren't born there, and the percentages are huge, people
17:54
Speaker 2: who were not born there, and how dramatically France has
17:58
Speaker 2: changed and London has changed and Ireland has changed. It's
18:03
Speaker 2: becoming unrecognizable as far as how the countries were and
18:09
Speaker 2: the amount of people that are there that are Islamic
18:13
Speaker 2: and Muslims. and the concerns that the native citizens of
18:17
Speaker 2: those communities have and what's happening to them in their country. Yes,
18:20
Speaker 2: that's what they were talking about. Go ahead.
18:23
Speaker 5: Well, three things, the way I look at it. First
18:27
Speaker 5: of all, I could care less what somebody else is
18:30
Speaker 5: doing in their country. The second thing, right, all Muslims
18:35
Speaker 5: are not terrorists. I don't care what nobody says. And
18:38
Speaker 5: the third thing, it is one of the most hypocritical
18:40
Speaker 5: things I've ever said. Everything that you guys said, like
18:44
Speaker 5: G2 or whoever said couldn't find any whites on the
18:47
Speaker 5: subway or whatever, right?
18:49
Speaker 6: No, he didn't say that.
18:50
Speaker 2: It was Ted the Conservative. It was talking about how
18:54
Speaker 2: in London you couldn't find anybody with what you would
18:58
Speaker 2: expect to see on the subway, and he didn't feel
19:01
Speaker 2: it was very safe at all. He was just talking
19:03
Speaker 2: about his experience. And G2, who has traveled the world
19:08
Speaker 2: many times over, and been in these areas, says that
19:11
Speaker 2: there's a major problem because people are not assimilating. They're
19:15
Speaker 2: bringing their philosophies, and it's just a major problem that
19:21
Speaker 2: they're having in those countries, and that's why you're seeing
19:24
Speaker 2: what's taking place. And he's afraid that you will see
19:28
Speaker 2: that happening here in the United States of America, and
19:31
Speaker 2: I think there's just cause for concern.
19:35
Speaker 5: It already has happened in the United States of America.
19:38
Speaker 5: The white Europeans came over here and they didn't assimilate
19:42
Speaker 5: to the Native Americans. They came over there and they
19:45
Speaker 5: took over. So why is it okay for the Europeans
19:48
Speaker 5: to come over here and take over? the Native Americans' land,
19:52
Speaker 5: but it's not okay for other people to go to
19:54
Speaker 5: another country? Isn't that hypocritical or double standard? Talk to me, Ron.
19:57
Speaker 2: No, it isn't. What you're really saying is, if you
20:01
Speaker 2: want to put it on a racial thing, most of
20:02
Speaker 2: this is... No, no, not racial. I'll deal with it.
20:06
Speaker 2: I'm not afraid to deal with it.
20:08
Speaker 5: Not the other, Ron.
20:09
Speaker 2: No, most of it's dealing against what they call the
20:11
Speaker 2: European culture or traditionally white people. And how, if you
20:15
Speaker 2: look at a lot of those countries, those are the
20:18
Speaker 2: countries that they're trying to do change the most.
20:21
Speaker 5: America had people.
20:23
Speaker 9: Here, Ron.
20:23
Speaker 7: Successful.
20:24
Speaker 5: They had Spanish people here.
20:25
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to tell you what they were talking about.
20:28
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know.
20:30
Speaker 5: I'm asking you. Why is it okay for one person
20:33
Speaker 5: to do it, forget the color, and another person not
20:35
Speaker 5: do it?
20:37
Speaker 11: I'm okay with everything, Ron.
20:39
Speaker 5: I'm okay with the way it turned out in the
20:41
Speaker 5: United States. I love this country. It's the best thing
20:44
Speaker 5: in the world for a black man.
20:45
Speaker 2: It is a good place, but you should wait and
20:49
Speaker 2: see what happens as time goes on. I think that
20:52
Speaker 2: they're expressing genuine concern when you have people from third
20:55
Speaker 2: world nations coming here that are not interested in changing, assimilating.
21:00
Speaker 5: And another thing about Alex. I'm talking about Alex, right? Now, listen,
21:04
Speaker 5: he talked about the young people he talked to. Ron,
21:06
Speaker 5: I talk to a lot of young people, and you
21:08
Speaker 5: know what they think? This is what they think. They're
21:11
Speaker 5: not worried about how bad the situation is, that they
21:14
Speaker 5: know about the housing, they know about that, right? But
21:17
Speaker 5: what bothers them the most is people don't understand. People
21:21
Speaker 5: my age and your age don't understand. When they were
21:25
Speaker 5: 18 to 30, they wanted to take on the world.
21:28
Speaker 5: They don't like the Democrats. They don't like the Republicans.
21:32
Speaker 5: They're thinking there's got to be a better way. That's
21:35
Speaker 5: because you see socialism and people voting another way. The
21:39
Speaker 5: Republicans aren't any good. The Democrats aren't any good. And
21:42
Speaker 5: these young folks, they're going to be like us. We
21:44
Speaker 5: had Vietnam, though. But what I'm saying is this. We
21:47
Speaker 5: took on the world. Can you remember back when you
21:49
Speaker 5: was 22?
21:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can. And I can. And I never was
21:52
Speaker 2: a socialist or a communist back when I was 22.
21:54
Speaker 2: I love you, man. And I got thanks. And I
21:57
Speaker 2: know that that system doesn't work. But I've always accepted
22:00
Speaker 2: that there were people that will be more successful than
22:02
Speaker 2: me and less successful. There'll be people that drive a
22:05
Speaker 2: better car than me and people that drive a worse
22:08
Speaker 2: car than me. That's just American. That's capitalism. And I
22:11
Speaker 2: love it. I'm just here to do the best I
22:14
Speaker 2: can do and live a happy life. News Radio 570 WKVN.

Speaker 2: All right, here we go. Three 35 news radio, five
23:40
Speaker 2: 70 WKBN. That was an interesting exchange with a manual,
23:44
Speaker 2: but that's where I am on a lot of this stuff.
23:48
Speaker 2: It's a, as I say to you, there's, I have
23:50
Speaker 2: one vote. Like you have one votes. All I can
23:53
Speaker 2: say is it's a, there's a lot of low information voters.
23:55
Speaker 2: I will not under any circumstances vote for Amy Acton
23:59
Speaker 2: and I will not vote for Ramaswamy or no, Amy
24:03
Speaker 2: Acton or, or, uh, uh, I'll vote for Ramaswamy. I
24:07
Speaker 2: will not vote for Amy Acton. And I will not
24:10
Speaker 2: vote for Sherrod Brown. I just do not agree with
24:15
Speaker 2: that philosophy. And this country changes lives. But you've got
24:25
Speaker 2: to put some effort forth. You've got to put some
24:28
Speaker 2: effort forth.
24:31
Speaker 14: And.
24:35
Speaker 2: Oddly enough, my wife broke one of her right arm
24:40
Speaker 2: a little bit right here. She fell in the flower
24:42
Speaker 2: garden the other day and has a fracture right there.
24:45
Speaker 2: And I was with her at the bone doctor today.
24:49
Speaker 2: And I thought, boy, that's really something. And her doctor said,
25:00
Speaker 2: is the son of a guy that was a bone
25:03
Speaker 2: doctor for years. And she says, you know, he, three
25:10
Speaker 2: of his children are all doctors. And I thought, that
25:13
Speaker 2: is really impressive. You know, I just sat there and
25:17
Speaker 2: I thought about it because, you know, when he came in,
25:20
Speaker 2: I thought the guy was just really very good at
25:23
Speaker 2: his job. But his dad was really good at his job.
25:26
Speaker 2: His dad was really good and he's really good at it.
25:30
Speaker 2: You know, that was as I sat there and I watched.
25:34
Speaker 2: And then she said, well, you know, he has two
25:38
Speaker 2: other brothers that are both doctors as well. And I thought, boy,
25:40
Speaker 2: that is really impressive. It's got to be a proud
25:43
Speaker 2: family there that they're all doctors. That wasn't easy for her.
25:48
Speaker 2: I'm sure that was never easy to do that as
25:50
Speaker 2: a parent and to do that as a student. But
25:54
Speaker 2: there's a lot of effort and a lot to be
25:55
Speaker 2: proud of there. And they're serving this community. And I
25:58
Speaker 2: just thought that's really impressive to me. Just impressed by it.
26:03
Speaker 2: And this is a great country. You can achieve anything.
26:11
Speaker 2: I mean, anything's possible if you're willing to put the
26:17
Speaker 2: effort forth. But so many people think, who don't want
26:20
Speaker 2: to do that, that we should take from those who
26:22
Speaker 2: did and give to those who didn't. And that's what
26:26
Speaker 2: socialism is, and it just doesn't work. It takes the
26:28
Speaker 2: incentive away. And not to sound like a pompous ass,
26:34
Speaker 2: but it always sounds like one. When I went to college,
26:40
Speaker 2: they said when you started, they said when it's graduation time, 50%
26:44
Speaker 2: of the people that are here will not be here.
26:46
Speaker 2: And I found that, are you kidding me? And sure enough,
26:51
Speaker 2: when it was graduation time, 50% of the people that
26:54
Speaker 2: were there in the beginning were not there. In other words,
26:57
Speaker 2: they quit because it was just too damn hard. And
26:59
Speaker 2: it was hard. It was eye-opening from how high school
27:02
Speaker 2: was to when I went to college. And it was like,
27:04
Speaker 2: this is how it is. This is what you got
27:07
Speaker 2: to know. And some of the stuff, it's just like,
27:14
Speaker 2: this is what you need to graduate. And I mean,
27:17
Speaker 2: all the math classes that they had put you through,
27:19
Speaker 2: modern university mathematics was called at the time and all
27:22
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. And I can remember the teaching assistant,
27:28
Speaker 2: an Asian guy that was speaking who said, listen, there's
27:31
Speaker 2: no easy way. You just got to memorize a formula here.
27:34
Speaker 2: If you know the formula, you can solve the problem.
27:36
Speaker 2: If you don't memorize a formula, you'll never be able
27:38
Speaker 2: to solve the problem. And I mean, that was just spoken.
27:41
Speaker 2: True words were never spoken. So memorize a formula so
27:44
Speaker 2: that you know how to solve the problem. And just
27:49
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff that you would learn from just
27:53
Speaker 2: going through all these classes. A lot of them that
27:56
Speaker 2: you thought you would never really need, but they gave
28:00
Speaker 2: you what they call a well-rounded education. But it was hard.
28:03
Speaker 2: It wasn't easy. I mean, it was definitely hard. And
28:13
Speaker 2: people that do that and become doctors, think how difficult
28:16
Speaker 2: that is. I mean, you really give up your 20s
28:20
Speaker 2: to become a doctor. Well, do we want to say, well,
28:23
Speaker 2: we're going to take from you and give this person
28:25
Speaker 2: who wasn't willing to do that? I wasn't willing to
28:26
Speaker 2: do that. But thank God there are people that are
28:29
Speaker 2: willing to do that. And it's just interesting as you
28:34
Speaker 2: see this. So why would we want to change that
28:36
Speaker 2: and take that away from people? To say, okay, it's
28:41
Speaker 2: just like if we tax the hell out of overtime,
28:43
Speaker 2: then people don't work overtime. You take the incentive away
28:47
Speaker 2: from them to go make more money because you tax
28:49
Speaker 2: a living hell out of them. Well, that doesn't make
28:50
Speaker 2: a lick of sense to me. What motivates anybody to
28:54
Speaker 2: do something? You know, as my mother would say, what
29:03
Speaker 2: should the dropout rate be in high school? Zero. There
29:08
Speaker 2: isn't a parent that should allow their child kid to
29:12
Speaker 2: drop out of high school. That's the least we can
29:14
Speaker 2: expect of you, whether it's vocational school or graduating high school.
29:18
Speaker 2: The dropout rate should be zero. And it didn't matter.
29:24
Speaker 2: I just tell you this. It didn't matter when I
29:26
Speaker 2: turned 18. Oh, I'm an adult and all this kind
29:28
Speaker 2: of stuff. There was no exceptions. It was just the
29:33
Speaker 2: standard that you had in the household. In our case,
29:37
Speaker 2: we were going to go to college and you were
29:39
Speaker 2: going to graduate. You weren't going to attend it. You
29:41
Speaker 2: were going to finish it. And it was what was
29:43
Speaker 2: expected by my mother and father. And there was no
29:48
Speaker 2: excuses that you could give them for not doing that. Now,
29:53
Speaker 2: if you want to become an electrician, that's fine with them.
29:55
Speaker 2: But you're going to get a college education and then
29:59
Speaker 2: you can go do that or whatever. The trades are
30:02
Speaker 2: a great way to go. But you're not going to
30:06
Speaker 2: sit and flounder. And that's why when I spoke about
30:12
Speaker 2: it yesterday, your lot in life is determined by you
30:15
Speaker 2: to a large extent. I didn't sit around with a
30:18
Speaker 2: father who said, oh, health care is a right thing. No,
30:22
Speaker 2: I sat around with a father that said, okay, I
30:24
Speaker 2: provided it for you. And when you become an adult,
30:26
Speaker 2: now you either find a job with health care benefits
30:28
Speaker 2: or you go out and buy them if you're going
30:29
Speaker 2: to be self-employed. Those are your choices. Don't bellyache about it.
30:33
Speaker 2: Make it happen. Don't sit around and bellyache. Make it happen.
30:43
Speaker 2: And somewhere along the line, we've lost a lot of
30:46
Speaker 2: that get-it-done attitude. And that's why I say to you
30:50
Speaker 2: a lot of times, not to offend any of you,
30:52
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people I want to give a
30:53
Speaker 2: kick in the ass to and say, you don't know
30:54
Speaker 2: how good you got in this country. I talked to
30:58
Speaker 2: a guy in here, Mike, the salesman. It's a guy who's,
31:02
Speaker 2: I mean, he leaves on a Monday and he gets
31:04
Speaker 2: home on a Friday. He's all over the country selling
31:08
Speaker 2: this major industrial product all over the country. He's home
31:11
Speaker 2: on the weekends, but he does it for his family.
31:13
Speaker 2: And that's how he makes a living. And I'm sure
31:15
Speaker 2: a damn good one. You don't think he misses his
31:19
Speaker 2: kids and his wife? You don't think they appreciate the
31:22
Speaker 2: fruits of his labor? What do you want to do,
31:25
Speaker 2: tax the living hell out of the guy because he's
31:28
Speaker 2: making that sacrifice? Just like pilots who are never home?
31:32
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people in that situation. Pilots make
31:36
Speaker 2: damn good money. Guess what? They're not home a lot.
31:39
Speaker 2: Doctors make damn good money.
31:40
Speaker 6: Guess what?
31:41
Speaker 2: They're not home a lot. So sometimes you get what
31:47
Speaker 2: you put into it. But I've never sat around saying, boy,
31:50
Speaker 2: punish that guy. He's doing better than me. Or, boy,
31:53
Speaker 2: take that guy's car. I should have a car like that.
31:55
Speaker 2: I never operated like that. Never made sense to me.
32:01
Speaker 2: You're on the air.
32:03
Speaker 11: Well, you know, did I ever tell you I went
32:06
Speaker 11: to college?
32:08
Speaker 2: You know, what you told me was the Guardians were
32:11
Speaker 2: going to win and they lost. That's what you told me.
32:14
Speaker 11: That's what I told you, right? Right.
32:17
Speaker 5: Well, guess what?
32:19
Speaker 2: They lost.
32:20
Speaker 11: Yeah, let the Cavaliers start up, and I think they're
32:23
Speaker 11: going to go to the playoffs this year.
32:25
Speaker 15: What do you think?
32:27
Speaker 2: I'm focused on the Browns at this point in time.
32:29
Speaker 2: I'm kind of excited about the Browns. Listen, I'm going
32:32
Speaker 2: to be the first one to tell you, I love
32:34
Speaker 2: the Guardians and how far they got. I enjoyed every
32:36
Speaker 2: minute of it. Every minute of it I enjoyed. I
32:39
Speaker 2: enjoyed every bit of it. It was a hell of
32:42
Speaker 2: a team. We didn't make it to the big game,
32:43
Speaker 2: but needless to say, pretty damn proud of them, and
32:46
Speaker 2: I'm happy with the Browns in that situation.
32:49
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, Gip on the station kept knocking Watson,
32:54
Speaker 11: but I think he's going to direct us to the land.
32:58
Speaker 11: You got faith in him, and the Browns defense, I thought,
33:01
Speaker 11: looked pretty good, didn't you?
33:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, but, I mean, the first half, it looked god-awful,
33:06
Speaker 2: but hopefully it'll be better this weekend, hopefully.
33:11
Speaker 3: Yep.
33:12
Speaker 9: Yep.
33:13
Speaker 15: We'll have to see.
33:15
Speaker 2: Tell me to have a nice day, please.
33:17
Speaker 5: You have a great day.
33:18
Speaker 11: Keep up the good work, Mr. Verb from Dick from Dayton.
33:22
Speaker 2: There you go, Dick from Dayton.
33:23
Speaker 7: You're on the air.
33:24
Speaker 15: Listen, this is Bubba Ganusha, Diamond Dave, I am. So anyhow,
33:30
Speaker 15: if Emmanuel's listening, I want to tell him something. This
33:34
Speaker 15: is the greatest president of your lifetime. Accept it, enjoy it,
33:39
Speaker 15: and savor over it like a nice steak.
33:44
Speaker 2: Listen, I think Joe Biden was one of the worst
33:45
Speaker 2: presidents ever, folks. I think what he did to this country,
33:48
Speaker 2: he did not do his duties by letting all these
33:50
Speaker 2: people into this country illegally. And we will suffer from
33:53
Speaker 2: that for the longest period of time. I don't care
33:56
Speaker 2: whether you agree or not. There is an agenda going on.
33:59
Speaker 2: It is a replacement theory. And that waters down your
34:03
Speaker 2: influence and your citizenship when you let millions and millions
34:06
Speaker 2: of people into a country illegally. illegally i don't they
34:10
Speaker 2: would say it's oh that's just a conspiracy theory nonsense
34:14
Speaker 2: and there's a global agenda you see this happening and
34:16
Speaker 2: i'm and i'm not uh i'm not crazy about it.
34:19
Speaker 3: At all.
34:21
Speaker 15: Can i give you the global agenda.
34:23
Speaker 2: I know the global agenda.
34:26
Speaker 15: Islam take over america.
34:29
Speaker 2: I think you got to be you got to be
34:31
Speaker 2: concerned about that that's a legitimate concern in my opinion.
34:36
Speaker 15: Now, any woman that votes for Democrats, crazy, because women
34:40
Speaker 15: fought for the rights for years. And Sharia law takes
34:45
Speaker 15: all rights from women and lets those guys beat the
34:47
Speaker 15: crap out of them and not get punished for it.
34:50
Speaker 15: How about that? Did you know that? You can beat
34:54
Speaker 15: the crap out of a woman.
34:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't... I see it happening, and I see
35:03
Speaker 2: where it's happening, both in this country and in these
35:05
Speaker 2: other countries, and I don't much care for what you
35:08
Speaker 2: see taking place.
35:09
Speaker 15: How about France being taken over by Islam?
35:13
Speaker 2: Well, that's part of the problem there. You also have...
35:15
Speaker 2: a large influx of French-speaking people that came out of
35:19
Speaker 2: Africa there, that came in there. France has major problems.
35:23
Speaker 2: But guess what? You know, the people of France, I
35:26
Speaker 2: don't know that they supported this, all of this, all
35:29
Speaker 2: these people coming into their country. And now there's so
35:33
Speaker 2: many of them there, you can't find the people that
35:36
Speaker 2: were born in France. It's a whole different country now. Well,
35:43
Speaker 2: that's what Ted the Conservative was saying. I thought, listen,
35:47
Speaker 2: Ted said when he was in England, when he was
35:49
Speaker 2: in London, he said it's just eye opening. He didn't
35:52
Speaker 2: feel safe. And this is what he saw. And and
35:56
Speaker 2: it's a different mentality from these people that come from
35:58
Speaker 2: third world countries. They don't think they all come here
36:02
Speaker 2: and assimilate and want to be like you. No, they don't.
36:05
Speaker 15: That's why we have these riots.
36:07
Speaker 4: Right.
36:07
Speaker 2: In many cases, they think you need to change based
36:10
Speaker 2: on their beliefs, and they hate you. And that is
36:13
Speaker 2: the truth.
36:17
Speaker 5: You're right.
36:18
Speaker 15: So here's what I'd say. Don't... Don't vote Democrat or
36:24
Speaker 15: you're just giving away our country because even the Democrats,
36:27
Speaker 15: you think, well, they're saying we'll go the other way,
36:30
Speaker 15: just like Sheriff Brown. You know, he voted Biden 98
36:35
Speaker 15: percent of the time. They'll go the other way because
36:37
Speaker 15: he's a Democrat because he got a letter. It doesn't
36:41
Speaker 15: matter what he stands for. You understand what I'm saying?
36:43
Speaker 3: So.
36:44
Speaker 2: Well, under no circumstances will I do that. I think
36:48
Speaker 2: I'll say it again. If you vote for Amy Acton
36:51
Speaker 2: or Sherrod Brown, I really believe you should have your
36:54
Speaker 2: head examined. So why do I say that? I know
36:57
Speaker 2: their energy policies. They hate fossil fuels. Sherrod Brown and
37:01
Speaker 2: Joe Biden. I try to explain this to people time
37:05
Speaker 2: and time again. Obama, Kerry. Clinton, Obama, all of these
37:10
Speaker 2: people with their Green New Deal are why these coal-generated
37:17
Speaker 2: plants were shut down, regulated out of business, and they
37:21
Speaker 2: required that they be torn down so they couldn't be
37:23
Speaker 2: turned on again without something to replace it that dependably
37:28
Speaker 2: generated that amount of power. That is what they insisted on.
37:31
Speaker 2: And that Samus plant, which had all the scrubbers in,
37:34
Speaker 2: was torn down because of that. One of the dumbest
37:37
Speaker 2: things you could possibly do at a time when China
37:40
Speaker 2: is building more coal plants than ever for cheap and
37:43
Speaker 2: reliable energy production. And all of those plants should have
37:48
Speaker 2: been never torn down. You couldn't afford to build them today.
37:51
Speaker 2: They should be up and running. You can add all
37:53
Speaker 2: the solar you want because there's such a demand for electricity.
37:57
Speaker 2: They created a major problem with their agenda, and many
38:02
Speaker 2: of the peoples who backed it suddenly are no longer
38:05
Speaker 2: backing it because now they need all this energy for
38:07
Speaker 2: their AI centers. So what a load of crap that
38:10
Speaker 2: happened to be.
38:11
Speaker 15: Yeah, listen, I've got to share something with you. Do
38:14
Speaker 15: you remember when Houston said they're going to try to
38:19
Speaker 15: get that steam plant for downtown Youngstown going again?
38:22
Speaker 2: Yeah.
38:23
Speaker 15: Okay. Let me explain. The guy that was trying to
38:26
Speaker 15: do that was setting up a pyrogasification unit and then
38:31
Speaker 15: setting up doing tires over in Lowville. And Spaghetti-O chased
38:36
Speaker 15: him out of here.
38:37
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know enough about the situation to... Yeah,
38:42
Speaker 2: but I mean, it's a major problem down there. They
38:44
Speaker 2: got to do something with that steam plant because you
38:46
Speaker 2: got a lot. First of all, you got a lot
38:48
Speaker 2: of buildings depending on it. Secondly, those that aren't paying
38:51
Speaker 2: their bill or in arrears are part of the problem.
38:54
Speaker 2: I mean, there's been a couple of those large complexes
38:56
Speaker 2: that need to pay up, and they haven't. You've got
39:00
Speaker 2: major problems down there, and they need to be solved
39:03
Speaker 2: as we get closer to winter. Do we have the
39:05
Speaker 2: ability to actually solve these problems and figure it out?
39:08
Speaker 15: I don't think so.
39:10
Speaker 2: I'm beginning to wonder. We shall see.
39:11
Speaker 15: No, because he tore up the coal aspect of it
39:18
Speaker 15: because we were going with pyrogasification, and then He spent
39:22
Speaker 15: $ 60 million trying to get this thing going. And she says, no,
39:25
Speaker 15: I don't want you here.
39:27
Speaker 16: I couldn't believe it.
39:28
Speaker 15: I just couldn't believe it.
39:29
Speaker 7: I don't know.
39:30
Speaker 2: What happened there. All right, thanks. You're on the air.
39:33
Speaker 17: Ron, I graduated from an electronic technical institute in the mid-70s,
39:39
Speaker 17: and I thought it was too boring. I got to
39:41
Speaker 17: get outdoors and work with my hands in construction, but
39:45
Speaker 17: Dick from Dayton, he didn't graduate from college, but Mine
39:49
Speaker 17: was a technical institute. We were taught.
39:51
Speaker 2: I knew somehow you were in an institution.
39:53
Speaker 10: IBM punch cards.
39:55
Speaker 17: Computer cards. They were IBM punch cards.
39:57
Speaker 2: You were in an institution.
39:59
Speaker 17: We repaired vacuum tube TVs and radios.
40:03
Speaker 4: This is boring.
40:04
Speaker 17: You know, I was born too early. If Elon Musk was.
40:11
Speaker 17: Was working when I was an age to get a job.
40:16
Speaker 17: I love the work with Elon Musk. I could be
40:19
Speaker 17: a rocket scientist.
40:20
Speaker 2: The fall to Brown voted how he.

Speaker 2: And listen now. 570 WKBN. All right, Ron Verb, NewsRadio
40:52
Speaker 2: 570 WKBN, 354 in the afternoon. In the market for transportation,
40:58
Speaker 2: all right, whether that's a used car, truck, SUV, whether
41:02
Speaker 2: it's leasing or buying. My recommendation to you is always
41:06
Speaker 2: as a customer, just sitting here as a customer at
41:09
Speaker 2: Stadium GM in the heart of Salem. And my family's
41:12
Speaker 2: been a customer for many years. Mike Hudak and the
41:14
Speaker 2: entire operation down there is just very, very impressive. My
41:18
Speaker 2: wife was just there the other day down at the
41:19
Speaker 2: service departments for an issue. She's got great customer service
41:24
Speaker 2: when she was down there. Why Stadium GM? Well, first
41:27
Speaker 2: of all, they want your business. They want to keep
41:29
Speaker 2: your business. They want the rest of your family's business,
41:31
Speaker 2: and they start with the right attitude. It's what Shorty
41:33
Speaker 2: Navarro has instilled from day one. Locally owned and operated,
41:37
Speaker 2: not part of some big conglomerate. No, it's not that
41:40
Speaker 2: at all. Everything that General Motors sells is under one
41:43
Speaker 2: roof in one dealership in Salem, Ohio. And it's an
41:48
Speaker 2: impressive dealership with a selection of product. But what makes
41:51
Speaker 2: it impressive most is just the atmosphere that I think
41:53
Speaker 2: you'll enjoy a great deal as we do. We feel
41:55
Speaker 2: very comfortable there, and I think you will. So it
41:58
Speaker 2: doesn't matter if you're looking for new or used, whether
42:00
Speaker 2: you're leasing or buying, do yourself the right thing and
42:04
Speaker 2: treat yourself the right way. Go enjoy the folks at
42:06
Speaker 2: Stadium GM in the heart of Salem. Whether you're looking
42:09
Speaker 2: for Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac, they have it all there
42:13
Speaker 2: for you. The selection is good. Or visit the website, stadiumgm.com.
42:19
Speaker 2: All right, you're on the air.
42:22
Speaker 16: Yes, sir. What I want to ask you this year,
42:25
Speaker 16: you're dealing with the president saying he's buying votes, giving
42:32
Speaker 16: $ 5, 000 or whatever, whoever goes out and votes for him.
42:38
Speaker 16: these politicians or whatever, or he's going to give their
42:44
Speaker 16: money to whoever goes out and votes. But as long
42:49
Speaker 16: as they're Republicans, in a sense. I mean, now you
42:54
Speaker 16: have a president that's going to turn around and say,
42:58
Speaker 16: buying votes. Now, this is bullcrap, period. There's no reason
43:04
Speaker 16: for that to be happening. But what is happening there?
43:09
Speaker 16: Is this here the great white hope with white hair
43:13
Speaker 16: and everything else that's going to change the world or what?
43:20
Speaker 16: I mean, I'm just trying to figure out what and
43:24
Speaker 16: why is he turning around there trying to buy votes
43:28
Speaker 16: to destroy more of our economic situation within the states now?
43:39
Speaker 2: Well, I don't even know how to react to that
43:41
Speaker 2: because it don't make a lick of sense to me.
43:44
Speaker 16: It don't. It don't because I'll give you 5,000 votes
43:49
Speaker 16: if you go.
43:50
Speaker 5: Out and vote.
43:52
Speaker 16: You're buying votes, getting people to elect slash Republicans.
43:58
Speaker 2: He said if the Republicans keep control of the House
44:02
Speaker 2: and the Senate, he'll send every adult a $ 5, 000 check.
44:06
Speaker 2: That's what he said.
44:07
Speaker 16: Oh, he'll... I want you to answer this. Is he
44:15
Speaker 16: going to actually deliver it, or is it just a
44:19
Speaker 16: propaganda to say that and then turn around there and
44:24
Speaker 16: you don't receive a doggone thing?
44:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it could be BS. He's had a lot
44:31
Speaker 2: of BS in the past on that. I don't know.
44:34
Speaker 2: We shall see if it works out that way. All right,
44:37
Speaker 2: I'll pause for the headlines at 4, then I'll come
44:40
Speaker 2: back with more. We're here till 5. The legal show

45:29

45:31
Speaker 23: That's the type of passion that I definitely want to
45:33
Speaker 23: bring to the U.S.

45:34
Speaker 22: He's trying to unseat five-term Republican Senator Susan Collins.

Speaker 22: Deputy White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly just telling Fox the
46:06
Speaker 22: president's talking about a record of wins, including tax cuts,
46:09
Speaker 22: and drawing a clear contrast with Democrats who argue it's
46:12
Speaker 22: a failing agenda. Companies and governments scrambling to fix a
46:16
Speaker 22: flaw uncovered by AI in PHP, the open source language
46:21
Speaker 22: used to build most of the world's websites.
46:23
Speaker 20: Teams led by OpenAI found a critical flaw in PHP
46:27
Speaker 20: weeks ago and said it could have allowed unauthenticated remote
46:30
Speaker 20: code execution. So an attacker could hack a site's code
46:33
Speaker 20: remotely without even logging in. The PHP Foundation credited a
46:37
Speaker 20: researcher at the Calif security firm, OpenAI, and Google's cloud
46:40
Speaker 20: security company, Wiz, with figuring all of this out before
46:44
Speaker 20: attackers could. Security engineers and volunteers have been working on patches,
46:48
Speaker 20: and governments around the world, including the UK, Finland, and Japan,
46:51
Speaker 20: were working to secure critical sites.

48:27
Speaker 2: Back to it, NewsRadio 570 WKBN, 405 here on a
48:31
Speaker 2: Thursday afternoon, 65 degrees. Ron Verb with you till 5
48:35
Speaker 2: and then the legal show, and you're on the air.
48:38
Speaker 7: Hello.
48:39
Speaker 25: Hi there.
48:40
Speaker 2: Hello there.
48:41
Speaker 14: How are you?
48:43
Speaker 2: I'm okay. What's on your minds?
48:46
Speaker 14: I just had to weigh in on this Amy Atkin thing.
48:50
Speaker 14: When Vivek had that ad, it did not in any
48:54
Speaker 14: way reveal the fact that she had been a victim
48:56
Speaker 14: of sexual abuse. It was just her mother saying that
48:59
Speaker 14: she lied. It was her campaign that brought up the
49:04
Speaker 14: information about her being a victim. And that's a very
49:09
Speaker 14: important point that nobody is making. They want to blame
49:14
Speaker 14: him for being insensitive to her victimization. He didn't reveal that.
49:24
Speaker 14: And over and over again today I heard on the
49:26
Speaker 14: radio people talking about how he was insensitive to the
49:35
Speaker 14: child abuse. He didn't reveal that. So I think that's
49:42
Speaker 14: a point that we have to keep reiterating.
49:46
Speaker 2: Well, I would come down to this. Negative advertising often
49:51
Speaker 2: is effective and it works, but it turns, I just
49:54
Speaker 2: don't goodbye into it. I really don't care what Amy
49:58
Speaker 2: Acton's mother has to say. I've told you why I
50:02
Speaker 2: will not vote for Amy Acton. And that's, I mean,
50:05
Speaker 2: I'm just looking, I don't think she's qualified to run
50:08
Speaker 2: the state of Ohio. She quit when she was the
50:10
Speaker 2: state's doctor because she couldn't take the heat and she
50:14
Speaker 2: won't debate Ramaswamy. And there's not in her far left policies.
50:18
Speaker 2: I will not vote for based on those issues. And
50:22
Speaker 2: I think Ramaswamy would be a better choice at running
50:25
Speaker 2: this state. And I think I agree. Well, I don't
50:27
Speaker 2: think I know. I agree more with his philosophies. on
50:30
Speaker 2: running this state. It's as simple as that. And people
50:33
Speaker 2: that vote based on... People vote for the dumbest things. Oh,
50:36
Speaker 2: I'm a woman. I'm going to vote for her. She's
50:38
Speaker 2: a woman. Or I'm going to vote against Ramaswami because
50:41
Speaker 2: I hate this ad. These are just stupid ways to vote.
50:43
Speaker 2: And you get the government you deserve. Unfortunately, I get
50:47
Speaker 2: it too. And that's not a good thing to me.
50:50
Speaker 14: Well, I agree with the points that you're making. She's
50:52
Speaker 14: not qualified. She's not strong. She ran away. You know,
50:58
Speaker 14: when the heat.
51:00
Speaker 2: Was on her. When the going got tough, she got going.
51:03
Speaker 14: Exactly. And I was going to say that she won't
51:06
Speaker 14: debate him. I think we have to focus on those issues.
51:10
Speaker 14: But I just, you know, I feel that, you know,
51:12
Speaker 14: this whole thing about, you know, the victimization, she's revealed
51:17
Speaker 14: more of that than, you know, than has been revealed
51:20
Speaker 14: by the Vex campaign. And she has her brother out now,
51:26
Speaker 14: you know, advocating for her with the victimization forefront.
51:32
Speaker 2: I mean, you'd have to explain to me how anybody
51:35
Speaker 2: thinks that she's even remotely qualified to run this hundred
51:39
Speaker 2: billion dollar state of company here known as the state
51:43
Speaker 2: of Ohio. How is she even remotely qualified to do that?
51:47
Speaker 14: Oh, she's not. But see, people are not being rational now.
51:51
Speaker 14: I was going to say across the board. A lot
51:55
Speaker 14: of times people are voting. You see these legal cases
52:00
Speaker 14: where the woman murdered her children. A lot of these
52:04
Speaker 14: people no longer look at what is true and right
52:08
Speaker 14: and reasonable. They look at sympathy for the individual, and
52:12
Speaker 14: then they want to absolve them of any responsibility, or
52:18
Speaker 14: they want to give them privilege. And in Amy's case,
52:22
Speaker 14: you know, they wouldn't give... because they feel she's been wronged,
52:27
Speaker 14: they want to give her sympathy. And, you know, we
52:30
Speaker 14: should vote for her.
52:31
Speaker 15: She's not qualified.
52:32
Speaker 3: Right.
52:33
Speaker 2: It's not about sympathy. I mean, listen, I understand everybody
52:36
Speaker 2: gets one vote. And I also understand, I hear a
52:39
Speaker 2: lot of people when they talk about why they're voting
52:41
Speaker 2: for someone basically regurgitate what they hear on a television commercial,
52:45
Speaker 2: which is just amazing to me because obviously it's so
52:49
Speaker 2: biased on a TV commercial. Sherrod Brown's been around forever
52:53
Speaker 2: when he was your senator. He backed every lunatic policy
52:57
Speaker 2: of Joe Biden's. I mean, I say it and I
53:00
Speaker 2: say it again. Did any of you, any of you
53:04
Speaker 2: sitting out there, I don't care what your background is,
53:07
Speaker 2: do you think it's lunacy to say we're not going
53:10
Speaker 2: to use the term mother and father? We're going to
53:12
Speaker 2: call him the birthing parent? We're not going to say,
53:15
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, because somehow that became offensive.
53:20
Speaker 2: We're going to say that we can't define what a
53:24
Speaker 2: woman is. We're going to tell you everything is normal,
53:27
Speaker 2: nothing is odd, doesn't matter if you're transgender, gay, or
53:31
Speaker 2: any of this stuff. If you don't go along with it,
53:34
Speaker 2: you're some type of a bigot. If we're going to
53:37
Speaker 2: tell you an open border is a great thing, and
53:40
Speaker 2: then when you try to get these people out of here,
53:42
Speaker 2: the ICE is the villain, and we glorify the people
53:46
Speaker 2: who came here illegally. I mean, do all of you
53:49
Speaker 2: want this philosophy back? Because that's Sherry Brown. Do you
53:52
Speaker 2: want the philosophy of regulating... companies out of business as
53:56
Speaker 2: they did coal-fired plants, and they did with the oil
54:01
Speaker 2: companies on drilling offshore and drilling on federal lands. Is
54:05
Speaker 2: this really what you want? Because that's what you get
54:08
Speaker 2: with these lunatics.
54:10
Speaker 14: Well, they don't live in the real world. I mean,
54:13
Speaker 14: these are the people who believe in unicorns. These are
54:16
Speaker 14: the people, like you said, that, you know.
54:19
Speaker 14: There's gender confusion. There's no gender confusion.
54:23
Speaker 2: I would have to say that Joe Biden, by saying,
54:26
Speaker 2: I've got to put a woman on the Supreme Court,
54:27
Speaker 2: she must be female and black, probably appointed one of
54:30
Speaker 2: the dumbest Supreme Court. You should be brilliant to be
54:33
Speaker 2: on a Supreme Court. And he eliminated anybody that was
54:36
Speaker 2: in that category by saying all these other categories of
54:39
Speaker 2: people we're not going to even remotely consider.
54:43
Speaker 14: Somebody should have asked him, are you sure she's a woman?
54:46
Speaker 2: I mean, she couldn't even define what a woman is.
54:48
Speaker 14: No, no, but I'm saying, you know, he ingests, but truthfully,
54:52
Speaker 14: they should have said to him, Joe, I don't know
54:55
Speaker 14: about that pic. Are you sure she's a woman? She's
54:58
Speaker 14: not sure.
54:58
Speaker 2: Oh, she feared her own tongue. She could not define
55:01
Speaker 2: what a woman is. This is the lunacy, folks, all
55:04
Speaker 2: of you listening. This is a lunacy that I'm talking
55:07
Speaker 2: about that I don't want to go back to. Then
55:10
Speaker 2: I don't support. And I'm here to tell you, this
55:12
Speaker 2: is today's Democrat Party and it's gone in this far
55:15
Speaker 2: left direction. And does does anyone have you watched like
55:20
Speaker 2: anything going on with AOC in any of these exchanges?
55:24
Speaker 2: I mean, there's not a lot going on upstairs there
55:26
Speaker 2: to even contemplate her running for president. I mean, to
55:30
Speaker 2: even contemplate her, she just doesn't have the intellectual capabilities
55:35
Speaker 2: to deal with this. And watching these interviews where she's
55:37
Speaker 2: totally lost on this kind of stuff. And Gavin Newsom,
55:41
Speaker 2: the Democrats want Gavin Newsom. California is a disaster. As
55:45
Speaker 2: far as pricing, corruption, and it was a disastrous estate.
55:51
Speaker 2: I sit back and I say this to all of you.
55:54
Speaker 2: I would vote for Ron DeSantis tomorrow. Why? Well, yes,
55:59
Speaker 2: he's a lawyer. And secondly, he reads. He's an intelligent
56:03
Speaker 2: man that makes intelligent decisions. I think it's damn shamed
56:06
Speaker 2: he's term-limited out as governor of Florida. He's been a
56:09
Speaker 2: wonderful governor. And I would vote for him tomorrow. I
56:12
Speaker 2: am somewhat impressed with Rubio and what he's doing. But
56:16
Speaker 2: I'm not unimpressed with Trump. I mean, what Trump has
56:20
Speaker 2: done for this country is somewhat monumental in putting America first.
56:26
Speaker 2: There's things I disagree with him on. But in general,
56:29
Speaker 2: I don't know that there's anybody I agree with 100 percent.
56:32
Speaker 2: But he could be right. I could be wrong. But
56:34
Speaker 2: in general, he's. He's certainly a better choice. Kamala Harris
56:37
Speaker 2: running again? She's a dingbat, as Archie Bunker would say.
56:41
Speaker 2: Or Gavin Newsom? He's a disaster. These are the people
56:46
Speaker 2: that you want to put forth, or AOC, as your candidates?
56:50
Speaker 14: Well, and they're proven. They're proven, you know, insofar as
56:55
Speaker 14: their devotion to the country and their devotion to their families.
57:01
Speaker 14: I mean, you look at the— no one is perfect here.
57:03
Speaker 14: But I was going to say they have wonderful track
57:06
Speaker 14: records in the issues that concern most citizens.
57:15
Speaker 2: I don't know. I listen to Rubio speak, and I
57:18
Speaker 2: think he makes a lot of sense. He clearly has
57:22
Speaker 2: a lot of experience to be the president of the country,
57:24
Speaker 2: and I listen to DeSantis as governor. I mean, there
57:28
Speaker 2: are people that I think are very... capable of taking
57:31
Speaker 2: these positions and running the operation of this huge country.
57:36
Speaker 2: And obviously, Trump, I think, has business experience, and I
57:40
Speaker 2: think that he's done more good than harm. He has.
57:45
Speaker 14: Well, the other thing is, these folks are, I would
57:52
Speaker 14: say that they're, beside being intellectually challenged, emotionally challenged. And
58:01
Speaker 14: a lot of them are just, you know, like anything
58:05
Speaker 14: that's proposed, I'm game. Let's try it. And they don't
58:10
Speaker 14: think things through. They don't think logically about consequences. And
58:15
Speaker 14: that's why, you know, our country has been destroyed with manufacturing.
58:20
Speaker 14: They have destroyed our educational program. You look at everything,
58:26
Speaker 14: our medical programs, programs, everything that they have touched. It's
58:30
Speaker 14: because they think, well, why don't we try this? And
58:34
Speaker 14: it's ridiculous. It would be like somebody, like if Amy
58:37
Speaker 14: Acton got in and she said, hey, why don't we
58:39
Speaker 14: change street lights? Instead of having them red and green,
58:43
Speaker 14: let's have them pink and blue.
58:44
Speaker 2: Oh, well, I go back to say when people talk
58:49
Speaker 2: about even health care in general, I don't know. Health
58:53
Speaker 2: care is expensive because of the technology. I mean, a
58:57
Speaker 2: lot of the health care I get today, my father
58:59
Speaker 2: couldn't have got because it didn't exist. And a lot
59:01
Speaker 2: of health care that my adult children will get doesn't
59:05
Speaker 2: exist today for me. And hopefully they'll have a longer
59:09
Speaker 2: life or a disease-free life as a result of this.
59:13
Speaker 2: So health care is never going to be inexpensive. Let's
59:16
Speaker 2: put it that way. But on the other hand, the
59:18
Speaker 2: best idea I ever heard with the cost of health
59:20
Speaker 2: care came from Trump. Because what you're saying, it came
59:24
Speaker 2: from Trump. I mean, Trump actually said, and I'll say
59:27
Speaker 2: it to you again, when I go to my doctor,
59:29
Speaker 2: I don't know what it costs. What is this doctor's visit?
59:33
Speaker 2: When you send me for a blood test, what does
59:35
Speaker 2: that cost? I don't know. What's it cost to go
59:37
Speaker 2: to the doctor? I don't know. You need a CAT scan?
59:40
Speaker 2: I don't know what that costs. I mean, I have
59:43
Speaker 2: no idea what prices of any of this stuff is.
59:46
Speaker 2: And all Trump argued is, shouldn't there be transparency here?
59:49
Speaker 2: Shouldn't there be that empower you? let's say you need
59:53
Speaker 2: a CAT scan. Okay, how much do you charge at Southwoods?
59:56
Speaker 2: How much do you charge at this place or this
59:59
Speaker 2: place so that I can get the same CAT scan
1:00:01
Speaker 2: and I can actually shop around to find out who
1:00:04
Speaker 2: has the best price on it?
1:00:07
Speaker 14: Well, and that takes some of the fear out of
1:00:10
Speaker 14: going for health care because your mind is racing, thinking,
1:00:14
Speaker 14: I can't afford this.
1:00:16
Speaker 2: Well, you have no idea what it costs.
1:00:17
Speaker 14: And then when you find out the price, you realize,
1:00:21
Speaker 14: you know, We can do this.
1:00:24
Speaker 2: Right, but I look at all my health care statements.
1:00:27
Speaker 2: I don't sit there and say, well, I'm not going
1:00:29
Speaker 2: to pay attention. When I go and I look at
1:00:32
Speaker 2: it and I see what the charges are and what
1:00:34
Speaker 2: they settled for and make sure everything is legit, I
1:00:37
Speaker 2: put some effort into it. I mean, I just look
1:00:41
Speaker 2: at that and I thought, well, that was the best
1:00:43
Speaker 2: idea in health care. What does this stuff cost? When
1:00:46
Speaker 2: I go to the dentist, you know what? I don't
1:00:48
Speaker 2: have any idea what that costs. When I get my
1:00:50
Speaker 2: teeth cleaned, I have no idea what that costs. Shouldn't
1:00:52
Speaker 2: I know that? Well, that's what Trump's argument was. Because 75%
1:00:56
Speaker 2: of the medical stuff that you need, maybe it's even
1:00:59
Speaker 2: more than that, you could shop around for outside of
1:01:02
Speaker 2: a heart attack or emergency room type visits.
1:01:06
Speaker 14: Well, that's how you do routine shopping.
1:01:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you have no idea what it costs. I know.
1:01:11
Speaker 2: I know.
1:01:12
Speaker 14: But I'm saying it is reasonable because that's how people
1:01:15
Speaker 14: basically do their shopping. They look for the best buy.
1:01:18
Speaker 2: Right. And sometimes the cheapest always isn't the best. You
1:01:22
Speaker 2: have the ability to look at the price and look
1:01:25
Speaker 2: at the reviews and this kind of stuff. That's true.
1:01:28
Speaker 2: And see what the situation is. So I just thought
1:01:32
Speaker 2: that was the best idea in health care. Empower me
1:01:35
Speaker 2: as a consumer to know what it costs. But somehow
1:01:39
Speaker 2: Trump's evil. He's some evil business guy. Well, how's that evil?
1:01:44
Speaker 2: How's it evil when Trump says, I don't understand why
1:01:46
Speaker 2: we pay more for these drugs in the United States
1:01:49
Speaker 2: of America than they do in all these other countries.
1:01:51
Speaker 2: And he said, that's not going to be the case
1:01:53
Speaker 2: anymore on Medicare. And I agree with him on that.
1:01:57
Speaker 2: Why are prices so much higher? So he's changed that.
1:02:02
Speaker 2: Aren't these good things? So you want to say, oh,
1:02:06
Speaker 2: out with him. He's no good anymore because my gas
1:02:09
Speaker 2: I just saw today is $ 4. 50 a gallon. Well, okay.
1:02:12
Speaker 2: The Democrats, they hate fossil fuels. So it's $ 4. 50 a gallon.
1:02:16
Speaker 2: I know this much. Once this Iran situation is over,
1:02:20
Speaker 2: my energy policy with Trump is better and my price
1:02:22
Speaker 2: will come down. I know that will happen.
1:02:25
Speaker 9: It's a small price to pay.
1:02:28
Speaker 14: For what will be accomplished in this endeavor. And the
1:02:31
Speaker 14: other thing is, these are the people who want all
1:02:33
Speaker 14: the bike trails. Well, let them ride their bikes, and
1:02:37
Speaker 14: they won't have to worry about gas prices at all.
1:02:39
Speaker 2: Boy, you're sharp, man. Boy, I'm glad you're not my neighbor.
1:02:43
Speaker 2: You're vicious there when you move in for the kill.
1:02:46
Speaker 14: Well, I'm saying, don't you think a lot of this
1:02:48
Speaker 14: is common sense? I really wish that they would debate more.
1:02:52
Speaker 14: I enjoy a good debate, and I would love to hear.
1:02:57
Speaker 14: People like Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance and others, you know,
1:03:03
Speaker 14: really take them on. And when I heard that, you know,
1:03:06
Speaker 14: Amy Acton would not debate, that really said a lot.
1:03:13
Speaker 14: She knows she can't hold her own. And if she
1:03:15
Speaker 14: can't do it in a debate, my goodness, she can't
1:03:17
Speaker 14: do it in office. What are the challenges that are
1:03:20
Speaker 14: going to face her in office?
1:03:23
Speaker 2: This is a critical area, folks, for both of these races.
1:03:27
Speaker 2: This is always a critical area. And let me just
1:03:30
Speaker 2: remind you, it's an area that for years was taken
1:03:32
Speaker 2: for granted by the Democrats who just took it for
1:03:34
Speaker 2: granted that they would win this area, and they did
1:03:37
Speaker 2: nothing for it. And all of a sudden, when you
1:03:40
Speaker 2: had Columbiana, Trumbull, and Mahoning counties go Republican, now at
1:03:45
Speaker 2: least they've got to show up and campaign and put
1:03:47
Speaker 2: an effort forth to try to win you over. Well,
1:03:50
Speaker 2: they sure as hell haven't won me over, and they're
1:03:52
Speaker 2: not going to. I mean, is this the direction you
1:03:55
Speaker 2: want to go with your morality? That's, oh, we're going
1:03:58
Speaker 2: to put this transgenderism stuff. All the craziness that, you know,
1:04:02
Speaker 2: they did. That they were forcing down. Listen, I know
1:04:06
Speaker 2: it might not be politically correct. Once again, how do
1:04:09
Speaker 2: we reproduce? It takes a man and a woman. Not
1:04:12
Speaker 2: two guys. Not two women. Not some guy who claims
1:04:15
Speaker 2: he's a woman. This idea that they want to act
1:04:18
Speaker 2: like a man can have a baby. This is insanity.
1:04:21
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not going down that road. You folks
1:04:24
Speaker 2: can preach at all you want, but you're crazy.
1:04:28
Speaker 14: Well, I was going to say, I think one of
1:04:30
Speaker 14: the most bizarre things I heard was that a man
1:04:33
Speaker 14: wanted to become transgendered as a woman and get an
1:04:39
Speaker 14: artificial uterus so that he could become impregnated so that
1:04:42
Speaker 14: he could be the first person to have an abortion
1:04:47
Speaker 14: as a transgender person.
1:04:50
Speaker 2: And they're like focused on abortion and it's like, You know, listen,
1:04:56
Speaker 2: it's a gift from God if your child is there
1:04:59
Speaker 2: and healthy. Like my dad used to say, welcome to
1:05:03
Speaker 2: all the kids that God would give them. We'll just
1:05:05
Speaker 2: divvy the portions up smaller. There's no bigger accomplishment in
1:05:08
Speaker 2: my life than my children. That's the biggest thing for
1:05:14
Speaker 2: all of us, right? As you watch them age and
1:05:17
Speaker 2: you hope you produce some good kids. Hey, thank you
1:05:19
Speaker 2: for your call. I enjoyed talking to you. God bless you, pup. iHeartRadio.
1:05:26
Speaker 7: I'm Dr.
1:05:26
Speaker 2: Cheryl Figg. 70 WKBN.
1:05:29
Speaker 25: 90-0-423.
1:05:29
Speaker 2: That was an interesting woman to talk to. I enjoyed
1:05:32
Speaker 2: my conversation with her. You're on air.
1:05:36
Speaker 6: Hey, Ron.
1:05:37
Speaker 14: Hi.
1:05:39
Speaker 3: Hey, do you still have the rule that says you
1:05:41
Speaker 3: can only call once a day?
1:05:42
Speaker 2: I make them up as I go along.
1:05:46
Speaker 16: All right.
1:05:47
Speaker 3: Good. Well, if you do still have that rule, even
1:05:49
Speaker 3: if you're not admitting it now, I think J.J., the Democrat,
1:05:53
Speaker 3: and J.J., the Trumpster, should get two calls a day.
1:05:57
Speaker 3: One before shock therapy, one after. Because I love his calls.
1:06:01
Speaker 7: Okay.
1:06:02
Speaker 2: Gotcha. I'll do it.
1:06:03
Speaker 3: Thanks. A little about me before I go on. I'm
1:06:10
Speaker 3: not a liberal. I was a registered libertarian for 20 years.
1:06:13
Speaker 3: I proudly voted for Perot twice with you. And I
1:06:21
Speaker 3: listen to... I do something that I wish... More people
1:06:26
Speaker 3: would do, and that's listen to or read the news
1:06:29
Speaker 3: from at least five sources a day.
1:06:31
Speaker 2: I don't know that you can do five. I'd be
1:06:34
Speaker 2: happy if people would just do it from one source
1:06:38
Speaker 2: a day, and that source not being Facebook or social media,
1:06:42
Speaker 2: where most of it is just inaccurate. I mean, you
1:06:45
Speaker 2: put some effort forth. I think you've got a responsibility
1:06:48
Speaker 2: to be an informed citizen. That's all I'm saying.
1:06:50
Speaker 6: I absolutely do, too.
1:06:52
Speaker 3: But I think we're in a world where there is
1:06:55
Speaker 3: a bifurcated media, and I think a lot of the
1:07:02
Speaker 3: rest of the context of my remaining call is about
1:07:07
Speaker 3: how I perceive, at least, that that bifurcated media is
1:07:12
Speaker 3: leading to people hearing one side or the other. And
1:07:17
Speaker 3: I see that when I listen to or read different sources,
1:07:23
Speaker 3: I see huge differences in the news. And it's usually
1:07:29
Speaker 3: not the pieces of the news that are missed or
1:07:35
Speaker 3: slanted or.
1:07:39
Speaker 6: Are sound wrong.
1:07:40
Speaker 3: It's that they completely skip pieces of the news that
1:07:48
Speaker 3: don't meet their.
1:07:51
Speaker 2: You're talking about things that aren't covered. I agree with that.
1:07:54
Speaker 6: Yeah, on both sides.
1:07:55
Speaker 7: Right, right.
1:07:56
Speaker 2: No, you're saying things that don't get coverage, and you're
1:08:01
Speaker 2: saying that stories that are put out there, you've got
1:08:04
Speaker 2: to be cautious of the source that it's coming from
1:08:06
Speaker 2: and the biasness of a particular... source might have. I
1:08:11
Speaker 2: understand what you're saying, and I think there's a lot
1:08:13
Speaker 2: of truth to what you're saying.
1:08:15
Speaker 3: And back to my methodology, I listen to some liberal stuff,
1:08:18
Speaker 3: I read some liberal stuff, I listen to some conservative stuff,
1:08:22
Speaker 3: I read some conservative stuff, and I listen to a
1:08:25
Speaker 3: few foreign takes on our way of doing things.
1:08:32
Speaker 6: Who I usually.
1:08:33
Speaker 3: Turn out to be a nice mediator between the two
1:08:36
Speaker 3: conservative and liberal sources, the handful of liberal and conservative
1:08:41
Speaker 3: sources that I listen to. And I know not everybody
1:08:43
Speaker 3: can do that. I'm lucky to be retired and have
1:08:48
Speaker 3: time on my hands.
1:08:49
Speaker 2: Well, I think there's a lot of people today who
1:08:52
Speaker 2: just don't pay attention to anything. And I think that's
1:08:55
Speaker 2: part of what our problem is. But would you not agree?
1:08:57
Speaker 2: I mean, it's somewhat sad. I admit to everything. I
1:09:00
Speaker 2: get the vindicator. And I subscribe to it because I
1:09:05
Speaker 2: want to keep it alive and keep it going. I
1:09:08
Speaker 2: think a newspaper is important for a community. They're a
1:09:10
Speaker 2: thing of the past, and it's got an uphill battle.
1:09:14
Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell you that media in general
1:09:15
Speaker 2: doesn't have some major issues. You bring up some excellent points.
1:09:20
Speaker 2: I look at the local television stations, and the days
1:09:24
Speaker 2: of Tom Holden and Bob Black and veteran reporters that
1:09:30
Speaker 2: were at these stations for years are gone. And what
1:09:35
Speaker 2: did you lose with that? You lost people who lived here,
1:09:38
Speaker 2: who knew the history of the community, and could put
1:09:44
Speaker 2: it in context, if you will. You have some of
1:09:46
Speaker 2: that today with Stan Boney's been around a long time,
1:09:50
Speaker 2: Len Rome, and Dave Sessa's been around a long time.
1:09:52
Speaker 2: But most of these people on television today are young
1:09:55
Speaker 2: kids that are here for a brief time, and when
1:09:58
Speaker 2: they get out of here and go somewhere else, they're
1:10:00
Speaker 2: more interested in in their career and being famous than
1:10:03
Speaker 2: they aren't actually covering the news and calling this place home.
1:10:07
Speaker 2: So I think your television coverage has deteriorated as, as
1:10:12
Speaker 2: a result of that. And I think it's difficult for
1:10:14
Speaker 2: newspapers to survive and get people that are, that are
1:10:17
Speaker 2: willing to be newspaper reporters and cover things. And I
1:10:21
Speaker 2: think you see the decimation quite frankly of, of the
1:10:24
Speaker 2: radio industry. I mean, it just in general, we're, I mean,
1:10:28
Speaker 2: if I go across the country, there's all kinds of
1:10:30
Speaker 2: radio stations that have absolutely nothing but network programming on.
1:10:34
Speaker 2: Not to say there's anything bad with them. Sean Hannity
1:10:37
Speaker 2: has an excellent show, Clay and Buck. There's a lot
1:10:40
Speaker 2: of great network programs that are worth listening to. But
1:10:45
Speaker 2: in most communities, you don't have local talk shows anymore
1:10:48
Speaker 2: because it's a very expensive undertaking. And they're fading by
1:10:53
Speaker 2: the wayside. Well, you lose local content then and local issues,
1:10:57
Speaker 2: and people lose a forum to express themselves in. So
1:11:01
Speaker 2: a lot of what you're saying is just spot on.
1:11:04
Speaker 2: So then people look around now, where do I get
1:11:06
Speaker 2: all this information, and how do I find it? And
1:11:11
Speaker 2: you've got people who don't even watch the news anymore.
1:11:15
Speaker 2: How are you an informed citizen then?
1:11:17
Speaker 6: Right. Exactly.
1:11:19
Speaker 2: That's the problem. So you get truly low-information voters, right?
1:11:23
Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying?
1:11:24
Speaker 6: Absolutely.
1:11:25
Speaker 9: Absolutely.
1:11:26
Speaker 3: And that's leading me to.
1:11:27
Speaker 7: Why I called.
1:11:28
Speaker 6: All right.
1:11:29
Speaker 2: Let me do my break.
1:11:31
Speaker 6: That's fine.
1:11:31
Speaker 2: I've got plenty of time. Let me do my break,
1:11:33
Speaker 2: and then I'll come right back with you. NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
1:11:35
Speaker 2: Stay tuned. NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
1:11:44
Speaker 24: The ad showing the estranged mother of Democrat Governor-Candidate Amy
1:11:47
Speaker 24: Acton calling her daughter a liar is now running on
1:11:50
Speaker 24: television throughout Ohio. Now fellow Republicans are speaking out against
1:11:53
Speaker 24: the ad, which was paid for by the campaign of
1:11:56
Speaker 24: a vague Ramaswamy. Governor Mike Dwine said today that while
1:11:59
Speaker 24: he still supports Ramaswamy in his campaign as governor, the
1:12:02
Speaker 24: ad should come down.
1:12:03
Speaker 2: So it's wrong to run this ad.
1:12:05
Speaker 17: I would just urge the Ramaswamy campaign to take this down.
1:12:10
Speaker 26: It's just wrong.
1:12:12
Speaker 24: Senator John Huston says he would not have run the ad,
1:12:14
Speaker 24: and Secretary of State Frank LaRose says he will look
1:12:17
Speaker 24: into the ad.
1:12:17
Speaker 10: And just what Ohioans are saying in the aftermath of
1:12:20
Speaker 10: the ad.
1:12:20
Speaker 15: All they want to do is spend money and keep power.
1:12:23
Speaker 17: It's definitely going to affect Vivek and how he's perceived
1:12:27
Speaker 17: and how desperate he is to try to appeal to voters.
1:12:31

Speaker 2: 6 to 7 tonight, John Arnold with the Money Talk program.
1:13:20
Speaker 2: John did a great scenario. It's what he thought economically
1:13:23
Speaker 2: was going on economically and what he thought was ahead
1:13:25
Speaker 2: as far as the stock market was concerned on last
1:13:27
Speaker 2: week's broadcast, if you missed it. That was some great insight,
1:13:31
Speaker 2: great analysis that he did. Last week from 6 to 7,
1:13:35
Speaker 2: if you missed it. He calls it as he sees it.
1:13:39
Speaker 2: I'll say that.
1:13:39
Speaker 6: You're on here.
1:13:40
Speaker 2: Oh, wait a minute. Hang on.
1:13:41
Speaker 10: Hang on. I was here.
1:13:42
Speaker 2: Hello.
1:13:44
Speaker 3: You're on.
1:13:45
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:13:46
Speaker 14: Okay.
1:13:46
Speaker 3: So I recently watched an interview from an author that
1:13:52
Speaker 3: wrote a book called Regime Change. And She described this
1:13:57
Speaker 3: setting that spurred all the thoughts that I'm putting together
1:14:02
Speaker 3: for this call. And that book is about Trump's second
1:14:10
Speaker 3: term as president. And she got this one-hour interview with
1:14:14
Speaker 3: him in the White.
1:14:15
Speaker 6: House, among others. That's not her first.
1:14:19
Speaker 3: She's had many interviews with him. But this one interview
1:14:22
Speaker 3: where she describes the setting as.
1:14:26
Speaker 3: The president, and it's a recent one, it's within the
1:14:29
Speaker 3: last 12 months, I think, the president comes in and
1:14:34
Speaker 3: he has some papers that he hands out to her
1:14:40
Speaker 3: and her co-writer.
1:14:40
Speaker 9: And.
1:14:43
Speaker 3: The papers are a list of the most powerful people
1:14:48
Speaker 3: that have ever walked the planet. And in that list
1:14:54
Speaker 3: were this 10, Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Stalin, Mao, Hitler,
1:15:01
Speaker 3: Alexander the Great, Caesar, and Charmaine, Charmaine and Hannibal.
1:15:06
Speaker 2: And Ryan Seacrest.
1:15:08
Speaker 6: Ryan Seacrest, Ron Burman, JJ.
1:15:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
1:15:12
Speaker 25: So.
1:15:16
Speaker 3: He then spends a significant portion of the next 20
1:15:20
Speaker 3: or 30 minutes describing how he has exceeded their power,
1:15:25
Speaker 3: that he's now the most powerful human to ever walk
1:15:28
Speaker 3: the planet.
1:15:29
Speaker 2: Who's that?
1:15:31
Speaker 3: This is Donald Trump. And that while their power was
1:15:39
Speaker 3: local and complete like his, his.
1:15:43
Speaker 6: Power is global.
1:15:46
Speaker 3: Um, and that, I, you know, that man that stuck
1:15:48
Speaker 3: with me when I saw her regurgitate that discussion, I
1:15:53
Speaker 3: started to get it. It made me think, and a
1:15:58
Speaker 3: recent poll, um, that on October 20th by Brookings Institute
1:16:06
Speaker 3: says that 58% of us adults say that the pres
1:16:11
Speaker 3: that president Trump is potentially potentially dangerous. A dictator and
1:16:17
Speaker 3: his power should be limited before he destroys the American democracy,
1:16:21
Speaker 3: which is up from 52% back in March of 2025.
1:16:26
Speaker 3: So it's growing by eight in that period of time.
1:16:30
Speaker 6: And I thought, no, come on.
1:16:33
Speaker 3: Again, you've heard me say, I listened to a whole
1:16:36
Speaker 3: bunch of news sources. Could that possibly be true? And
1:16:41
Speaker 3: that led to an unbelievable amount of research on my
1:16:44
Speaker 3: part that I don't.
1:16:46
Speaker 6: Want to bore you with.
1:16:47
Speaker 3: But I will say that, you know, first, I think
1:16:54
Speaker 3: we've both heard the comment that any president of the
1:17:01
Speaker 3: United States, especially in the last 50 years, is probably
1:17:05
Speaker 3: the most powerful person on Earth.
1:17:08
Speaker 2: Right.
1:17:08
Speaker 3: Just because we are the most powerful country on Earth.
1:17:13
Speaker 2: Within reason. I mean, they are not kings. I mean,
1:17:15
Speaker 2: we do have a system of checks and balances. So
1:17:17
Speaker 2: he's a powerful person, but there is Congress. But it's
1:17:21
Speaker 2: an extremely powerful position.
1:17:24
Speaker 25: But.
1:17:25
Speaker 3: Now that you said that, that leads to the next
1:17:28
Speaker 3: thing that I have on my.
1:17:29
Speaker 6: List of things to talk about, which is.
1:17:31
Speaker 2: Before you get to that, I say that because there
1:17:34
Speaker 2: is check and balances. It personally concerns me, even with
1:17:37
Speaker 2: the situation in Iran, that I think there should be
1:17:42
Speaker 2: more of a debate going on when you put the
1:17:44
Speaker 2: country in these situations with Congress. I mean, I understand
1:17:48
Speaker 2: immediate situations that you can't... tip your hand or immediate situations.
1:17:53
Speaker 2: But at some point, I think there has to be
1:17:55
Speaker 2: a discussion of your country and your countrymen on these
1:18:01
Speaker 2: wars that we get into that the president alone gets
1:18:04
Speaker 2: us into. So I think there are some issues there
1:18:07
Speaker 2: that need to be dealt with.
1:18:10
Speaker 6: Great.
1:18:10
Speaker 3: I totally agree with you. And this list of things
1:18:14
Speaker 3: that I worked up in my research made me.
1:18:21
Speaker 3: An effort for me to say, hey, I've never been
1:18:24
Speaker 3: to a No Kings rally. I told you before, I'm
1:18:27
Speaker 3: a libertarian, not a liberal.
1:18:30
Speaker 6: But on July.
1:18:34
Speaker 3: 1st of 2024, the Supreme Court ruled that all presidents
1:18:38
Speaker 3: have absolute criminal immunity to.
1:18:41
Speaker 6: Anything they do as president.
1:18:42
Speaker 2: Within reason.
1:18:44
Speaker 9: No, they didn't.
1:18:46
Speaker 6: A D.C.
1:18:47
Speaker 3: Court judge asked the Solicitor General, of today, but at
1:18:51
Speaker 3: that time it was Trump's personal lawyer, John Sauer, could
1:18:57
Speaker 3: the president order SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival?
1:19:01
Speaker 6: That's a direct quote. That's a D.C. circuit judge. And
1:19:07
Speaker 6: the answer was yes.
1:19:11
Speaker 3: So let's pause and say, darn, that is a huge power.
1:19:19
Speaker 2: Do you know who that John Kariakis is? He used
1:19:24
Speaker 2: to be with the CIA.
1:19:26
Speaker 25: No.
1:19:26
Speaker 2: Ever follow him? A very interesting guy. He would say
1:19:30
Speaker 2: that they would meet every Tuesday with an assassination list.
1:19:35
Speaker 2: Every Tuesday.
1:19:36
Speaker 25: Okay.
1:19:37
Speaker 2: And they would sit with the presidents, whoever was presidents,
1:19:40
Speaker 2: and this would be the assassination list on whether or
1:19:44
Speaker 2: not they thought it was good or not. It doesn't
1:19:46
Speaker 2: matter if it's Trump or anybody else. I'm sure they're
1:19:47
Speaker 2: still doing it. And he said, you know, the thought
1:19:51
Speaker 2: of it is you act like none of this happens,
1:19:53
Speaker 2: but it does happen. And the CIA is behind it
1:19:56
Speaker 2: and the country is behind it. And some people would
1:20:00
Speaker 2: argue it's not a bad thing when you're assassinating terrorists,
1:20:02
Speaker 2: as we've done, and threats the country. I think you
1:20:07
Speaker 2: would have a much more difficult time assassinating a political
1:20:12
Speaker 2: opponent as you describe it. I remember looking at that
1:20:16
Speaker 2: ruling when it happened and reading that, and they basically
1:20:19
Speaker 2: said these are presidential powers, but it does not mean
1:20:22
Speaker 2: you could kill the person that's running against you in
1:20:25
Speaker 2: an election. Let's say you get your opponent, you could
1:20:29
Speaker 2: go assassinate your opponent. And I remember that being the debate.
1:20:35
Speaker 2: It had some.
1:20:38
Speaker 2: Guardrails on it as far as the duties of president.
1:20:42
Speaker 2: I mean, president, well, obviously they've killed people for years. Now,
1:20:48
Speaker 2: people can argue it's supposedly against our, what do you say,
1:20:53
Speaker 2: standards or laws that we shouldn't be doing that kind
1:20:58
Speaker 2: of stuff, but we do it. So, just like torture.
1:21:02
Speaker 2: I mean, just like, I'm sure plenty of people have
1:21:04
Speaker 2: been tortured to get information out of them that we're
1:21:07
Speaker 2: supposed to... Well, we might not do it in this country,
1:21:10
Speaker 2: and we might do it in other countries and have
1:21:11
Speaker 2: other countries do it for us to get the information,
1:21:14
Speaker 2: if we think there's a way to get that information.
1:21:17
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that there's a lot of dark evil
1:21:19
Speaker 2: things that go on, because there are. Are they needed?
1:21:22
Speaker 2: Maybe at times they are.
1:21:25
Speaker 3: Well, I want to just respond to two things you
1:21:27
Speaker 3: said there. One is, and again, this is all based
1:21:30
Speaker 3: off of the documented details that I've got here in
1:21:33
Speaker 3: front of me.
1:21:34
Speaker 9: One is....
1:21:36
Speaker 3: Until July of 2024, when he wasn't president, Biden was,
1:21:41
Speaker 3: but when the Supreme Court made that ruling, that kill
1:21:48
Speaker 3: list that you're talking about was all foreign. CIA isn't
1:21:54
Speaker 3: even allowed to work on U.S.
1:21:56
Speaker 6: Soil.
1:21:56
Speaker 3: The only limit, though, in... after that ruling and that
1:22:03
Speaker 3: ruling itself, and made it clear to the Supreme Court,
1:22:08
Speaker 3: and Justice Sotomayor, in her dissent, literally re-quoted the feel
1:22:16
Speaker 3: TM6 could kill a political opponent inside the United States
1:22:23
Speaker 3: in her dissent. So they never, they did not put
1:22:27
Speaker 3: that into the ruling that said you can't do that.
1:22:31
Speaker 3: That is the ruling. So, an immense amount of power
1:22:37
Speaker 3: to kill anybody on planet Earth outside of the United
1:22:39
Speaker 3: States before July of 2024. An unprecedented amount now that
1:22:45
Speaker 3: you could, after that ruling, as long as you can...
1:22:49
Speaker 3: The only limit they put on the whole thing was,
1:22:51
Speaker 3: this only applies to presidential acts. So if it's a
1:22:56
Speaker 3: personal act that you're taking, you can still be criminally prosecuted.
1:23:01
Speaker 6: But if it has any.
1:23:04
Speaker 3: Context whatsoever as presidential, it.
1:23:09
Speaker 18: Is.
1:23:09
Speaker 2: Okay, so it says here from AI, contrary to what
1:23:12
Speaker 2: you're saying. The U.S. Supreme Court did not explicitly legalize
1:23:16
Speaker 2: killing people, but it ruled six to three that former
1:23:19
Speaker 2: presidents have absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for core constitutional
1:23:25
Speaker 2: official acts, presumptive immunity for other official acts, and no
1:23:30
Speaker 2: immunity for unofficial acts. All right, so that's the ruling.
1:23:37
Speaker 2: So what does that mean? The majority opinion written by
1:23:41
Speaker 2: Roberts states that the presidents are immune from prosecution for
1:23:44
Speaker 2: actions taken within their exclusive constitutional powers, such as commanding
1:23:48
Speaker 2: the military or managing foreign affairs, but are not protected
1:23:52
Speaker 2: for purely private or unofficial conduct. The ruling also barred
1:23:58
Speaker 2: prosecution from using official acts as evidence to prove a
1:24:02
Speaker 2: president's guilt regarding unofficial acts. That's the CL Team 6
1:24:07
Speaker 2: example in their dissenting opinion. warned that the broad prosecution
1:24:13
Speaker 2: for official acts could theoretically shield a president from criminal
1:24:16
Speaker 2: charges for extreme abuse, such as ordering Naval Seam Ticks
1:24:19
Speaker 2: 6 to assassinate a political rival. The majority response, Chief
1:24:24
Speaker 2: Justice Roberts rejected those scenarios as extreme hypotheticals, arguing that
1:24:28
Speaker 2: the dissent ignored the separation of powers and that the
1:24:31
Speaker 2: lack of presidential immunity would lead to paralyzing regulatory prosecutions
1:24:36
Speaker 2: against every former president. Yeah, that has to do with
1:24:40
Speaker 2: their duties as presidents when they do order some of
1:24:43
Speaker 2: these hits. For example, when they order some of those hits,
1:24:46
Speaker 2: and you remember when they had some civilians that were
1:24:50
Speaker 2: killed by mistake? sure okay well it's it basically that
1:24:55
Speaker 2: gives them immunity from being held responsible for that that
1:24:59
Speaker 2: was the crux of that and and i think that
1:25:01
Speaker 2: i think it's clear as as what the meaning of
1:25:04
Speaker 2: it is based on just what i've what i've read
1:25:06
Speaker 2: in a short period of time versus what what what
1:25:09
Speaker 2: you're saying i don't it doesn't give them um immunity
1:25:15
Speaker 2: in a sense like you're saying but it's also a
1:25:17
Speaker 2: case of we're not going to try presidents because they
1:25:21
Speaker 2: put a hit and there's collateral damage to it. So
1:25:27
Speaker 2: I don't agree with that.
1:25:28
Speaker 3: You disagree, but I want to read you what my
1:25:31
Speaker 3: AI says. It says, in her dissent from Trump v.
1:25:35
Speaker 3: United States decided on July 1st of 2024, Justice Sotomayor
1:25:40
Speaker 3: wrote this passage to illustrate what she saw as the
1:25:44
Speaker 3: sweeping and dangerous.
1:25:47
Speaker 6: Ruling.
1:25:50
Speaker 3: Quote, when he uses his official power in any way
1:25:55
Speaker 3: under the majority's reasoning, he now will be insulated from
1:25:59
Speaker 3: criminal prosecution.
1:26:00
Speaker 2: Orders the Navy Field Team 6 to assassinate a political
1:26:06
Speaker 2: rival immune.
1:26:08
Speaker 6: That's the end of the quote.
1:26:10
Speaker 2: Right, and I think that's utter nonsense as as Robert said,
1:26:13
Speaker 2: in countering that. And the majority said countering it. I mean,
1:26:17
Speaker 2: I understand a minority dissenting opinion. I just think it's wrong.
1:26:20
Speaker 2: And I think if that's what you're worried about, I
1:26:22
Speaker 2: think that's ridiculous. I understand what the intent, and that's
1:26:25
Speaker 2: a key word on these legal decisions, I understand what
1:26:28
Speaker 2: the intent of it was. Do you think a president
1:26:31
Speaker 2: should be held legally responsible if they order a hit
1:26:34
Speaker 2: of a terrorist and there's collateral damage to bystanders or
1:26:39
Speaker 2: other family members?
1:26:42
Speaker 6: I don't.
1:26:42
Speaker 9: Okay, well, that's the general of the U.S.
1:26:45
Speaker 6: In front of the district court.
1:26:47
Speaker 2: Well, that's the gist of the opinion. I mean, we
1:26:51
Speaker 2: can go on, but I mean, obviously you and I
1:26:53
Speaker 2: are going to agree with it. So I think that
1:26:55
Speaker 2: that's ridiculous, your scenario. But that's okay. You're entitled to
1:26:59
Speaker 2: think it. I don't agree with it at all.
1:27:01
Speaker 3: Well, I guess the Supreme Court justice said it, not me.
1:27:04
Speaker 2: The Supreme Court justice in the minority. You're failing to
1:27:08
Speaker 2: quote what the majority of the justices said and ultimately
1:27:11
Speaker 2: what the ruling was. And you're negating what their comments
1:27:15
Speaker 2: were about it. Well, to get an accurate read, you
1:27:17
Speaker 2: better read the entire comments. The intent of the decision
1:27:22
Speaker 2: is what matters. What is the intent?
1:27:25
Speaker 3: I told you I listen to five sources a day.
1:27:27
Speaker 3: I read both.
1:27:28
Speaker 2: Well, you can read whatever.
1:27:29
Speaker 5: And his.
1:27:29
Speaker 3: His comments came later.
1:27:31
Speaker 2: Well, we're just going around in circles. I'll just tell you,
1:27:34
Speaker 2: I think you're wrong. The intent speaks for itself, as
1:27:37
Speaker 2: in most of these cases. What's your next point? Because
1:27:40
Speaker 2: I'm running short.
1:27:42
Speaker 6: Right.
1:27:43
Speaker 3: So he then, Trump, separate power, his pardon power. He's
1:27:49
Speaker 3: said in the Wall Street Journal that in April 2026,
1:27:54
Speaker 3: he would pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet
1:27:57
Speaker 3: of the Oval Office, which... gives him a tremendous amount
1:28:01
Speaker 3: of power.
1:28:01
Speaker 2: That's correct.
1:28:04
Speaker 3: To have anybody do anything illegal on his behalf as
1:28:08
Speaker 3: long as they're close to him and he agrees with
1:28:10
Speaker 3: their beliefs and then he can pardon them for doing
1:28:14
Speaker 3: anything illegal as.
1:28:15
Speaker 2: Long as it's a federal crime. Well, as long as
1:28:17
Speaker 2: it's a federal crime. But yeah, and not just Trump,
1:28:20
Speaker 2: but Biden and anybody else. Biden pardoned Fauci and he
1:28:24
Speaker 2: wasn't even charged with anything.
1:28:26
Speaker 3: Sure.
1:28:27
Speaker 2: I mean, so I know that was our presidential powers.
1:28:29
Speaker 2: Now there's an argument being made that those powers are
1:28:31
Speaker 2: being abused, that they're that that it's going beyond the
1:28:35
Speaker 2: scope of what it should be. But they do have
1:28:38
Speaker 2: that authority to do that.
1:28:39
Speaker 9: And.
1:28:40
Speaker 2: Presidents have done it. Look at who was it that
1:28:43
Speaker 2: Clinton pardoned. Was it Rich? Rich was their last name.
1:28:49
Speaker 2: Big contributors. I mean, there's some cause for concern.
1:28:54
Speaker 16: All right.
1:28:55
Speaker 2: On that note, you're going to have to call me
1:28:56
Speaker 2: with more tomorrow because I got a break and I'm
1:28:58
Speaker 2: running out of time. I appreciate it. Call me again
1:29:00
Speaker 2: back in a minute.
1:29:01
Speaker 7: Stay tuned.
1:29:04
Speaker 2: Hi, it's Ron Verb.
1:29:05
Speaker 1: Youngstown's news, weather, and talk station, 570 WKBN.
1:29:11
Speaker 2: Welcome, News Radio 570 WKBN. You're on the air.
1:29:15
Speaker 27: Ron.
1:29:16
Speaker 6: Yes.
1:29:18
Speaker 8: I got two points. The last gentleman, I don't know
1:29:22
Speaker 8: if this is neither here nor there, but remember Obama
1:29:26
Speaker 8: paid reparations to all the Iraqis during that war, millions
1:29:31
Speaker 8: of dollars. It went out on a skid, okay? So
1:29:35
Speaker 8: that part of it there is neither here nor there
1:29:38
Speaker 8: with the courts. But I want to reach out to
1:29:42
Speaker 8: Emmanuel about how England had come over here or whatever
1:29:49
Speaker 8: and established a new America. I want for him to
1:29:55
Speaker 8: be able to tell the people that he does listen
1:29:57
Speaker 8: to that those children.
1:30:01
Speaker 8: That are trying to talk about socialism and things like that,
1:30:04
Speaker 8: remember what those colonists did and what the government did
1:30:08
Speaker 8: to the people of America then. They gave them dirty food,
1:30:14
Speaker 8: unclean water, uninhabitable living conditions, and you name it. So,
1:30:21
Speaker 8: I mean, we might be responsible as a color of
1:30:24
Speaker 8: people that came and done all this stuff, but we're
1:30:27
Speaker 8: not responsible for the ramifications of what the government did.
1:30:31
Speaker 8: And that's all I got to say about that.
1:30:33
Speaker 2: And that's what you have to say about that to
1:30:35
Speaker 2: quote Forrest Gump. All right. Thank you. You're on the air.
1:30:39
Speaker 15: Mr.
1:30:40
Speaker 3: Burr.
1:30:40
Speaker 15: Yes.
1:30:41
Speaker 2: Speak your piece. Run tight on time.
1:30:44
Speaker 25: Oh, yeah.
1:30:45
Speaker 4: So I just was really impressed with that one woman's call.
1:30:49
Speaker 15: About the Amy Acton commercial debt.
1:30:52
Speaker 6: And it made me think of something. I just want
1:30:54
Speaker 6: to say, you know, she didn't they didn't ever say anything.
1:30:57
Speaker 2: I tell you what, you're going to have to chime
1:31:00
Speaker 2: in tomorrow because I'm smack dab out of time. I
1:31:01
Speaker 2: got the legal show. All right. Do it tomorrow. All right.

Speaker 2: good folks at Stadium GM in the heart of Salem.
1:31:09
Speaker 2: It's where you find Mike Kudak and the entire crew

Speaker 22: the estranged mother of Democratic candidate Amy Acton.
1:32:56
Speaker 21: She calls her daughter a frequent liar in the ad.
1:32:59
Speaker 10: I know nothing about it other than the mother said
1:33:01
Speaker 10: horrible things about a person that's running for governor of
1:33:05
Speaker 10: a great state, a great state. And If it's even
1:33:09
Speaker 10: a little bit true, you don't want her as governor.
1:33:12
Speaker 22: Acton says the ad exploits childhood trauma involving her stepfather,
1:33:15
Speaker 22: who was indicted on rape charges, fled and never stood trial.
1:33:20
Speaker 21: He died years ago.
1:33:21
Speaker 22: President Trump and the Ramaswamy campaign accusing the media of
1:33:25
Speaker 22: a double standard over the ad controversy. The president would
1:33:28
Speaker 22: not confirm whether he spoke to Elon Musk about restoring
1:33:31
Speaker 22: an early warning system for Ukraine that was interrupted recently.
1:33:35
Speaker 22: President Trump telling reporters the bottom line is Musk put
1:33:38

1:34:00
Speaker 26: state's U.S. Senate race for incumbent Pete Ricketts.
1:34:03
Speaker 2: He's been fighting for your ranches.
1:34:05
Speaker 26: He's been fighting for American energy, and he's been fighting
1:34:08
Speaker 26: to lower your taxes. Polling shows Ricketts facing a tight
1:34:11
Speaker 26: race against independent challenger Dan Osborne.
1:34:14
Speaker 22: Fox's Jeff Manasso, Republicans trying to counter opponents who blame
1:34:17

Speaker 24: to dismiss the murder case against his client.
1:34:51
Speaker 2: The new attorney.
1:34:52
Speaker 27: For the Cleveland Divorce Attorney says Gregory Moore's indictment was
1:34:55
Speaker 27: never properly approved by a grand jury and that prosecutors
1:34:59
Speaker 27: had misleading evidence. Moore is accused of the 2013 murder
1:35:03
Speaker 27: of his client, Aliza Sherman. He was representing her in
1:35:06
Speaker 27: her divorce case. Moore will have a pretrial hearing next week.
1:35:11
Speaker 27: Moore's previous attorney withdrew from the case before it was
1:35:14
Speaker 27: to go to trial.
1:35:15
Speaker 2: I'm Tom Moore.
1:35:16
Speaker 24: In the meantime, the fallout continues from Vivek Ramaswamy's decision
1:35:19
Speaker 24: to air an ad using the mother of Democrat Amy Acton,
1:35:22
Speaker 24: in which Donna Arthur says her daughter cannot be trusted
1:35:24
Speaker 24: in Ohio and should not vote for her in the
1:35:26
Speaker 24: November governor's race. Retired Baldwin-Wallace political science professor Dr. Tom
1:35:31
Speaker 24: Sutton tells our Tom Moore that campaigns have certainly hit
1:35:34
Speaker 24: an all-time low with this ad.
1:35:36
Speaker 18: This really is plumbing new depths in political mudslinging. And
1:35:42
Speaker 18: quite frankly, this is mud that some might thought they
1:35:47
Speaker 18: were getting to the level of excrement.
1:35:49
Speaker 24: Sun says when personal attacks are made, sometimes you create
1:35:52
Speaker 24: more problems than you have solved. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine
1:35:55
Speaker 24: this morning called the ad very troubling and is urging
1:35:57
Speaker 24: Ramaswamy to take the ad down. Even Senator John Husted
1:36:01
Speaker 24: said he would not run an ad like that in
1:36:03
Speaker 24: his campaign. However, President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D.
1:36:06
Speaker 24: Vance have backed Ramaswamy in the ad. And Seneca County
1:36:10
Speaker 24: man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after
1:36:12
Speaker 24: being convicted of rape, sexual battery, and attempted rape involving

Speaker 24: multiple victims. 30-year-old Tyler Hosler will also be required to
1:36:19
Speaker 24: register as a Tier 3 sex offender for the rest
1:36:22
Speaker 24: of his life. Prosecutor Derek Devine praised the sheriff's office
1:36:26
Speaker 24: detective who led the investigation, citing her work on the

Speaker 7: David's been all over my long hair lately.
1:38:46
Speaker 6: Really?
1:38:46
Speaker 7: I don't know why.
1:38:47
Speaker 2: Maybe he's jealous. You ever think of that?
1:38:50
Speaker 7: Well, I thought that was a given, but yeah.
1:38:53
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just pointing out the obvious to you, Melfi.
1:38:55
Speaker 2: It's probably, you know, I mean, sometimes you overlook these
1:38:58
Speaker 2: things because, you know, it's the obvious isn't so obvious,
1:39:02
Speaker 2: you know. He's probably very jealous about your beautiful head
1:39:07
Speaker 2: of hair, right?
1:39:09
Speaker 19: He actually has hair, but yes, I mean, I might
1:39:13

Speaker 7: I mean, what's the difference?
1:39:54
Speaker 2: Well, let him read his letter. I mean, you know,
1:39:57
Speaker 2: maybe it's a Dear John letter. I don't know. It
1:39:59
Speaker 2: could be something along those lines.
1:40:01
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:40:01
Speaker 7: Do we have any callers, Ron?
1:40:04
Speaker 2: Yes, we do.

Speaker 19: Unless you want to talk about the week, but we
1:40:05
Speaker 19: don't have really any good David stories.
1:40:07
Speaker 2: Well, let's start with a call. We do have a
1:40:09
Speaker 2: call here. You're on the air on The Legal Show. Hello.
1:40:14
Speaker 9: Hello. Thank you for taking my call. I have a
1:40:17
Speaker 9: question regarding estates. My mother passed away recently. Really, she
1:40:25
Speaker 9: was in nursing home care under Medicaid, and when she passed,
1:40:32
Speaker 9: all that she really had left was a small amount
1:40:37
Speaker 9: in a bank account where Social Security and a pension
1:40:40
Speaker 9: check came in and went out to the nursing home
1:40:42
Speaker 9: for her care and a small life insurance policy that
1:40:48
Speaker 9: isn't quite enough to cover her burial costs. But my
1:40:52
Speaker 9: question was, I think it's just considered to be a
1:40:55
Speaker 9: small estate, and I was wondering if you gentlemen could
1:40:59
Speaker 9: think of anything that I may have overlooked in my
1:41:03
Speaker 9: thought process that would cause or have a need for
1:41:06
Speaker 9: me to hire an attorney related to this situation. She
1:41:10
Speaker 9: had no home, no other.
1:41:12
Speaker 10: No real property.
1:41:14
Speaker 2: Nothing.
1:41:14
Speaker 9: No vehicle.
1:41:15
Speaker 2: Bank account.
1:41:16
Speaker 10: Nothing of.
1:41:17
Speaker 9: Just the bank account with a small amount, which is
1:41:21
Speaker 9: now closed.
1:41:25
Speaker 2: Outstanding bills?
1:41:28
Speaker 9: Outstanding nursing home bill, which I've spoken with the nursing home,
1:41:33
Speaker 9: which is another part of the equation. Her last Social
1:41:39
Speaker 9: Security check, for which she passed just a couple weeks
1:41:44
Speaker 9: ago in the beginning of October... and under her Social
1:41:48
Speaker 9: Security enrollment, she would be due a payment in October,
1:41:53
Speaker 9: which was in arrears for the month of September. And
1:41:56
Speaker 9: that was deposited to her account, and then the bank
1:42:00
Speaker 9: was notified of her death, and that got reversed. So
1:42:06
Speaker 9: Social Security drew that back. I'm not sure if Social
1:42:09
Speaker 9: Security drew it back or the bank pushed it back,
1:42:12
Speaker 9: but I've submitted the I believe it's 1724, the form
1:42:18
Speaker 9: to get that missing Social Security amount back or reimbursed.
1:42:25
Speaker 9: And I spoke in the nursing home, and they're aware
1:42:28
Speaker 9: of that process, and they seem to be okay with
1:42:33
Speaker 9: waiting until that Social Security is returned to pay that
1:42:36
Speaker 9: small outstanding bill there at the nursing home. No other debt.
1:42:42
Speaker 7: No other debt.
1:42:43
Speaker 19: Well, first, sorry for your loss. It sounds like everything
1:42:47
Speaker 19: appears to be buttoned up. You don't have to worry
1:42:49
Speaker 19: about a home, vehicles. Probably the account was TOD. Now
1:42:53
Speaker 19: it's closed. Creditors have, I don't know, David, was it
1:42:57
Speaker 19: 90 days to six months to force open an estate.
1:43:01
Speaker 7: You don't have to.
1:43:04
Speaker 19: Pay your debts if they want to try to collect
1:43:06
Speaker 19: from the estate. They have to file a claim and
1:43:10
Speaker 19: open the estate within six months.
1:43:11
Speaker 2: But there's nothing to get, right?
1:43:13
Speaker 19: There's nothing to get. So what it sounds like to me,
1:43:17
Speaker 19: just based upon your description, that it seems like everything's
1:43:21
Speaker 19: buttoned up. And if there's any estate, it'd be very small.
1:43:27
Speaker 19: But it's always good to consult with an estate lawyer,
1:43:31
Speaker 19: especially if that's a a foreign area to you.
1:43:34
Speaker 2: But I think this guy, first of all, did a
1:43:36
Speaker 2: great job in talking about his very thorough call, would
1:43:41
Speaker 2: you not agree, to go through all of this?
1:43:43
Speaker 19: I thought it was a very thorough call. It sounds
1:43:47
Speaker 19: like he took some notes. He didn't talk over us.
1:43:50
Speaker 19: And he wanted to listen to hear what we had
1:43:53
Speaker 19: to say.
1:43:53
Speaker 2: Well done call. I honestly think that you've really laid
1:44:00
Speaker 2: it all out.
1:44:01
Speaker 6: And I think.
1:44:02
Speaker 2: He got a pretty good answer to say there's not
1:44:04
Speaker 2: much for you to think about or worry about here. Unfortunately,
1:44:08
Speaker 2: she died and she didn't really have anything.
1:44:11
Speaker 6: Right?
1:44:11
Speaker 2: How long was she in a nursing home, if I
1:44:13
Speaker 2: could ask? Four years.
1:44:17
Speaker 9: My father passed away 24 years ago at a very
1:44:20
Speaker 9: young age. And unfortunately, my mom was on a decline,
1:44:25
Speaker 9: a slow decline from that point. And she unfortunately... ended
1:44:31
Speaker 9: up in a nursing home care due to a physical
1:44:34
Speaker 9: injury that she was too stubborn to try to rehabilitate.
1:44:38
Speaker 9: And I just really think she just kind of gave
1:44:42
Speaker 9: up and just really.
1:44:43
Speaker 10: Right.
1:44:46
Speaker 9: Despite our efforts to motivate her, she didn't want to
1:44:50
Speaker 9: have it.
1:44:52
Speaker 2: My point was, if you're not broke, the longer you're
1:44:55
Speaker 2: in a nursing home, you will be. Yes, true.
1:44:59
Speaker 9: I mean, she had a home... in a vehicle before
1:45:02
Speaker 9: that happened.
1:45:02
Speaker 3: Right.
1:45:03
Speaker 9: And, um, you know, those were, those were, uh, dispersed.
1:45:08
Speaker 2: Right.
1:45:08
Speaker 9: Um, early on. So it was just a matter of,
1:45:13
Speaker 9: I guess all the tough questions. I, I learned a
1:45:15
Speaker 9: lot along the way, but all of that was, uh,
1:45:18
Speaker 9: decided and taken care of. And so when it got
1:45:21
Speaker 9: to the end, um, sad as it is, um, I,
1:45:24
Speaker 9: I guess, uh, we were kind of prepared for the,
1:45:27
Speaker 9: we started writing on the wall, as they say.
1:45:29
Speaker 2: There you go. Well, the, Well, thank you for your call.
1:45:32
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. I think you've helped a lot of
1:45:33
Speaker 2: people with that call. Appreciate it.
1:45:35
Speaker 6: Good.
1:45:36
Speaker 2: Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you. 330-729-9977. I have three lines
1:45:41

1:45:47

1:45:50
Speaker 2: Estate planning is something Everyone should do at some point, agree, Melfi?
1:46:03
Speaker 2: I mean, because the five-year look-back period.
1:46:06
Speaker 7: What do I say? Nobody, it's a very difficult thing
1:46:10
Speaker 7: to face your own mortality. People don't want to do it.
1:46:13
Speaker 10: I face my mortality every day.
1:46:15
Speaker 19: Well, that's because you're on your way, and we tell
1:46:18

1:46:26
Speaker 2: are getting up there in age, Dave.
1:46:28
Speaker 10: What about you, Ron?
1:46:30
Speaker 2: David, this really isn't a call about me. This is
1:46:32
Speaker 2: about you.
1:46:33
Speaker 10: No, you said I'm getting up at 8, and you're
1:46:35
Speaker 10: older than me.
1:46:37
Speaker 2: Well, thanks for reminding me of that. I guess I am, too.
1:46:39
Speaker 2: There's more behind you than there's ahead of you. Let's
1:46:42
Speaker 2: put it that way.
1:46:43
Speaker 7: You're in the fourth quarter, and perhaps you're in overtime.
1:46:46
Speaker 10: No, really, Jimmy, I'm in overtime at 67. You're in
1:46:49
Speaker 10: the fourth quarter. I have no doubt about that. You're
1:46:52
Speaker 10: in the two-minute drill. Thank you for that, Captain Obvious.

1:47:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're good. Well, let me just say this. Let

1:47:33
Speaker 7: We're going to have a lot of fun. Well, wait
1:47:35
Speaker 7: a minute.
1:47:36

1:47:42
Speaker 2: you're saying?
1:47:42
Speaker 10: No, a year and two months.
1:47:46
Speaker 2: Why so far off?
1:47:47
Speaker 19: At least it's not three years from now or two
1:47:50
Speaker 19: years from now.
1:47:51
Speaker 10: I love how my wife and my daughter, they go
1:47:52
Speaker 10: to the place and then they come back and they go, oh,
1:47:54
Speaker 10: here's how much you have to give down. And then
1:47:56
Speaker 10: I read the contract and go, did I? Anyone bother
1:47:59
Speaker 10: to read the contract?
1:48:02
Speaker 2: You know, when you're a lawyer.
1:48:03
Speaker 10: You kind of get abused because your family, they just
1:48:07
Speaker 10: bring things or say things or sign things, and they
1:48:11
Speaker 10: don't read it. And so I read it, and I go,
1:48:14
Speaker 10: what they want and what you told me are two
1:48:17
Speaker 10: separate figures. That's what he told us. they go that's
1:48:21
Speaker 10: not what's written in this signed contract that by the
1:48:24
Speaker 10: way i'm going to scratch out my daughter's name that
1:48:26
Speaker 10: she has to sign because she ain't paying for it
1:48:28
Speaker 10: and i'll have to sign but this is the figure
1:48:32
Speaker 10: give me that number i'm going to call that guy
1:48:34
Speaker 10: i said let me let me just read the contract
1:48:37
Speaker 10: i read the contract i said did you did you
1:48:39
Speaker 10: do so and so Oh, oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah,
1:48:42
Speaker 10: we forgot about those two things, yeah. Yeah, he's right
1:48:45
Speaker 10: on that.
1:48:46
Speaker 7: Ron, he gave us the estimate. He's like, yeah, this
1:48:49
Speaker 7: is it. I laughed in his face.
1:48:52
Speaker 2: Why was it a lot?
1:48:54
Speaker 7: It was about half.
1:48:56
Speaker 19: I said, you're not even close. You are not even
1:49:00
Speaker 19: in the realm of what's going to happen here.
1:49:02
Speaker 2: Is this going to be locally or in Georgia or where?
1:49:04
Speaker 19: No, no.
1:49:07
Speaker 10: At the William Penn Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh.
1:49:11
Speaker 2: Oh, that sounds like that would be very reasonable.
1:49:14
Speaker 10: Oh, yeah, sure.
1:49:16
Speaker 2: I mean, geez.
1:49:17
Speaker 10: Why don't you go rent the hall and see how
1:49:18
Speaker 10: reasonable it is?
1:49:19
Speaker 2: I mean, so it's... There's no hall.
1:49:21
Speaker 7: There's rooms, David. It's quite a... Multiple rooms.
1:49:24
Speaker 10: Yeah, thank you.
1:49:25
Speaker 7: Sorry, multiple halls.
1:49:26
Speaker 10: Multiple halls. I learned that in the contract. We've got
1:49:30
Speaker 10: three multiple halls.
1:49:30
Speaker 2: Have you... Did you put the down payment for the
1:49:32
Speaker 2: house band to perform?
1:49:35
Speaker 10: I don't know if the house band will be performing.
1:49:37
Speaker 10: They were talking, and then they asked my opinion on things.
1:49:40
Speaker 10: It's funny. They go, what do you think? And I said,
1:49:43
Speaker 10: let me tell.
1:49:44
Speaker 7: The two of you. You are the checkbook. You have
1:49:46
Speaker 7: no say in this operation.
1:49:47
Speaker 10: Well, they want to give me say, but here's what
1:49:49
Speaker 10: I say back to you.
1:49:50
Speaker 7: That's gratuitous.
1:49:51
Speaker 10: I said, information and knowledge is power, and I am powerless,
1:49:56
Speaker 10: so you guys skedaddle and just send me the bill.
1:50:00
Speaker 7: What did I tell you?
1:50:02
Speaker 19: Well, it's about if the food's good, you don't wait
1:50:06
Speaker 19: in line for a drink, and the music's good.
1:50:09
Speaker 2: In that order.
1:50:10
Speaker 6: Right.
1:50:10
Speaker 2: I mean, well, congratulations, David. I mean, you like the
1:50:14
Speaker 2: guy she's marrying. That's a good thing.
1:50:16
Speaker 10: Yeah. I told him, I said, let me tell you
1:50:19
Speaker 10: what your role in this is. You're going to practice
1:50:22
Speaker 10: with me. I said, are you ready? He goes, yeah.
1:50:23
Speaker 10: I go, follow me. He goes, ready? I go, yeah.
1:50:26
Speaker 10: This is going to be your involvement. This is the
1:50:29
Speaker 10: one thing. Line you have that has two words in it.
1:50:32
Speaker 10: Are you ready? And he goes, yeah.
1:50:34
Speaker 2: I go, I do.
1:50:36
Speaker 10: I said, God bless you.
1:50:37
Speaker 7: You didn't give him true advice.
1:50:40
Speaker 2: Right.
1:50:41
Speaker 19: Like my father-in-law.
1:50:43
Speaker 7: Gave to me.
1:50:44
Speaker 10: I gave them a card. I gave them a very
1:50:46
Speaker 10: nice card. I wrote a very heartfelt note. On the
1:50:50
Speaker 10: back of the card, I put P.S. Paul, I've been
1:50:53
Speaker 10: a practicing lawyer for 41 years. I've tried a number of...
1:50:58
Speaker 10: I don't even know a lot of murder cases. I
1:51:01
Speaker 10: know how to get rid of a body, and no
1:51:04
Speaker 10: one would ever think I did it. So this is
1:51:07
Speaker 10: a strict no return policy. Ha ha, just kidding. I
1:51:10
Speaker 10: said your soul might belong to God, but you don't
1:51:13
Speaker 10: know what belongs to me if you ever hurt my daughter.
1:51:17
Speaker 19: Just like my father-in-law's father-in-law said to him, my wife, lover,
1:51:24
Speaker 19: crashed her car, I'm like, hey, Lee, what do you
1:51:30
Speaker 19: want to do here?
1:51:31
Speaker 7: Heartfelt. Put his hand on my shoulder.
1:51:35
Speaker 10: You're a big boy now.
1:51:36
Speaker 7: She's your prom now, buddy. And my father-in-law is the greatest.
1:51:41
Speaker 10: All I know is I woke up today to come
1:51:43
Speaker 10: to work.
1:51:45
Speaker 2: I want you to remember this day before you tell
1:51:46
Speaker 2: that story.
1:51:47
Speaker 10: You've got to hear this one because Paul and Rose
1:51:49
Speaker 10: are still staying at the house. I got up to
1:51:50
Speaker 10: go to work today. And I hear my wife go, Dave,
1:51:54
Speaker 10: would you like eggs?
1:51:58
Speaker 2: Oh, she's cooking a breakfast.
1:51:59
Speaker 10: When was the last time I heard that was, Leo?
1:52:02
Speaker 10: You want to know when the last time I heard
1:52:03
Speaker 10: that was, Leo?
1:52:04
Speaker 2: When?
1:52:05
Speaker 10: I don't know, 30 years.
1:52:07
Speaker 7: 30 years ago. Before Joseph was born.
1:52:12
Speaker 2: Well, I want you to remember this, and this was
1:52:13
Speaker 2: the advice.
1:52:14
Speaker 10: I was like, and then I hear her yell, you
1:52:17
Speaker 10: want some eggs? I go, mm. I mean, that's a
1:52:21
Speaker 10: nice offer, but why all of a sudden now is
1:52:23
Speaker 10: breakfast being cooked because my daughter and my future son-in-law
1:52:27
Speaker 10: are at home?
1:52:28
Speaker 2: Of course.
1:52:29
Speaker 11: Of course.
1:52:29
Speaker 10: Exactly right. If I wasn't at home, she'd be studying
1:52:32
Speaker 10: the inside of her eyelids.
1:52:34
Speaker 2: As I said to my daughter when she got married,
1:52:36
Speaker 2: and I want you to remember this, Dave, and you
1:52:37
Speaker 2: tell your daughter this, and Melfi, you remember this. I said,
1:52:41
Speaker 2: you know, when she asked for advice, I said, never
1:52:43
Speaker 2: go to bed in a disagreement, angry with each other.
1:52:49
Speaker 2: I said, Laura, I want you to stay up, and
1:52:52
Speaker 2: I want you to win that argument, and you're not
1:52:54
Speaker 2: to go to sleep until you win it. Because they
1:53:01
Speaker 2: always say, never go to bed angry, and that's what
1:53:03
Speaker 2: I told her. I said, that's absolutely right.
1:53:05
Speaker 10: You stay up.
1:53:06
Speaker 7: What are you going to do, stay up for four days.
1:53:08
Speaker 19: In a row?
1:53:08
Speaker 2: Whatever it takes.
1:53:09
Speaker 10: That's what I call them.
1:53:12
Speaker 7: What do you call him?
1:53:13
Speaker 6: St.
1:53:13
Speaker 10: Paul of Long Island.
1:53:15
Speaker 2: But just a little bit for folks. Actually, Rose looked
1:53:19
Speaker 2: beautiful in some of your postings. They got engaged in
1:53:22
Speaker 2: Mill Creek Park. Were you around when it was happening?
1:53:24
Speaker 5: No.
1:53:25
Speaker 10: We knew it was happening. Rose didn't know it was happening.
1:53:28
Speaker 10: And then we had like a little... They came back and.
1:53:37
Speaker 7: What I really want to know is how did he
1:53:39
Speaker 7: approach you? And what did you... Did he come see you?
1:53:44
Speaker 10: Did he call you?
1:53:44
Speaker 6: He called me.
1:53:45
Speaker 10: He said, hey.
1:53:47
Speaker 7: What do you think about this?
1:53:50
Speaker 10: I'm going to ask your daughter to marry me.
1:53:52
Speaker 2: What do you think?
1:53:52
Speaker 10: I said, I love you. I said, you are St.
1:54:00
Speaker 10: Paul of Long Island. I said, not only do you
1:54:06
Speaker 10: have my blessings, I said, you have raised complete and utter...
1:54:11
Speaker 10: Status is of level in my life. And he's a
1:54:16
Speaker 10: big Notre Dame fan.
1:54:18
Speaker 7: He'd fit in well with me. Okay.
1:54:21
Speaker 2: No, no, no.
1:54:22
Speaker 10: It is an experience.
1:54:25
Speaker 7: He goes there.
1:54:26
Speaker 10: No, no, no. It is an experience to watch him
1:54:30
Speaker 10: watch a Notre Dame football game.
1:54:33
Speaker 7: Listen, that's my man.
1:54:35
Speaker 10: You don't understand what that experience is like.
1:54:39
Speaker 19: We have very strict rules in my house. There's four
1:54:40
Speaker 19: generations of mouthy men on Saturday watching Notre Dame football.
1:54:43
Speaker 7: So I get St. Paul's affection.
1:54:48
Speaker 10: He holds a football, and he half sits down and
1:54:51
Speaker 10: half stands up every play.
1:54:54
Speaker 6: Okay.
1:54:54
Speaker 2: That'd get annoying.
1:54:55
Speaker 10: And then he's so superstitious.
1:54:57
Speaker 7: Ron, he's an Army Ranger. I don't know if you're
1:54:59
Speaker 7: going to tell him that to his face.
1:55:00
Speaker 2: I'd tell it to him to his face. I'd say,
1:55:01
Speaker 2: sit down. You're ruining the game for the rest of us.
1:55:03
Speaker 10: No, I don't think so.
1:55:04
Speaker 19: David, here's the other thing. You brought that in a letter.
1:55:06
Speaker 19: He'll bury you somewhere, and nobody will know he's a Ranger.
1:55:10
Speaker 7: Right.
1:55:12
Speaker 2: We'll take it easy on him. Melfi, here's the key.
1:55:16
Speaker 10: Listen to me. If you're going to come at me.
1:55:19
Speaker 2: Melfi, really. Let's get to the real details. After it
1:55:23
Speaker 2: was done and you guys all got together, how choked
1:55:25
Speaker 2: up were you, Dave? Be honest with us as you
1:55:28
Speaker 2: saw this. I was very emotional. Very emotional because I
1:55:32
Speaker 2: realized that those two people I was looking at are
1:55:34
Speaker 2: going to be the ones taking care of me. That
1:55:37
Speaker 2: was why you were emotional.
1:55:39
Speaker 19: A daughter's son is a son until he takes a
1:55:42
Speaker 19: wife away.
1:55:49
Speaker 10: A daughter is a daughter for the rest of your life.
1:55:54
Speaker 2: You know what, Melfi, I guarantee you he was choked
1:55:57
Speaker 2: up when this happened. I don't care what he said.
1:55:59
Speaker 7: He was crying like a baby.
1:56:00
Speaker 2: I guarantee you he was. It's okay.
1:56:03
Speaker 7: We're emotional people.
1:56:05
Speaker 2: Well, congratulations, Dave. I know it had to choke you
1:56:07
Speaker 2: up because they're growing up right in front of your eyes.
1:56:10
Speaker 2: And it's a glorious day that they are getting on
1:56:14
Speaker 2: with their lives and going to enjoy the best part
1:56:16
Speaker 2: of life and a great relationship and hopefully grandchildren. I
1:56:19
Speaker 2: couldn't be happier for you.
1:56:20
Speaker 10: He's got a really cool brother-in-law, though. I've got to
1:56:22
Speaker 10: tell you something. His brother-in-law, his name's Tyrell, and I
1:56:30
Speaker 10: tell Tyrell, Tyrell, we have to go drink. He loves
1:56:37
Speaker 10: to drink tequila. So I said, Tyrell, you're going to
1:56:42
Speaker 10: finally come into town, and we're going to have some
1:56:44
Speaker 10: good tequila right here in Ohio.
1:56:46
Speaker 20: Mm-hmm.
1:56:47
Speaker 10: Because I went over to Tyrell's one year for Thanksgiving.
1:56:50
Speaker 10: I've never known you could cook turkeys more way than
1:56:53
Speaker 10: they cook turkeys.
1:56:55
Speaker 2: There you go. So it's a congratulations, though, Dave. Melfi,
1:57:00
Speaker 2: I guarantee you he was choked up, and it gets
1:57:03
Speaker 2: to you. That's your daughter.
1:57:04
Speaker 10: Yeah, it does.
1:57:06
Speaker 2: I mean, you know.
1:57:07
Speaker 7: Ask him in six months when he's writing checks. Let
1:57:09
Speaker 7: me know how that goes.
1:57:10
Speaker 2: I don't think he cares. I'm going to answer that
1:57:13
Speaker 2: on my own. I don't think he cares. Honest to God,
1:57:16
Speaker 2: I think Dave is happy.
1:57:17
Speaker 7: To write the check.
1:57:19
Speaker 10: I came into this world flat broke. And you know what?
1:57:24
Speaker 10: You don't get a trophy award when you leave with
1:57:26
Speaker 10: the most money. You don't. You leave broke, you come
1:57:29
Speaker 10: in broke. That's my goal.
1:57:32
Speaker 2: And buying that boat is going to get him there quicker.
1:57:36
Speaker 21: Than he leaves.
1:57:38
Speaker 10: Oh, that takes a nice chunk. Let me say this
1:57:42
Speaker 10: about the boat. I love it. It's great enjoyment. But
1:57:47
Speaker 10: I lost an arm and a leg for that boat.
1:57:49
Speaker 7: Wait, wait, wait.
1:57:50
Speaker 19: Now, four months ago, it was the greatest thing ever
1:57:52
Speaker 19: because I asked you the same question.
1:57:54
Speaker 10: It's sitting on sticks in a heated building. I can
1:57:57
Speaker 10: go there and visit it.
1:57:59
Speaker 2: Is that expensive?
1:58:01
Speaker 10: You don't want to know what it costs.
1:58:02
Speaker 7: You can't use it.
1:58:03
Speaker 19: Do you understand you're paying for something that you have
1:58:06
Speaker 19: no enjoyment of?
1:58:07
Speaker 5: Right.
1:58:07
Speaker 2: You're sitting there.
1:58:08
Speaker 7: You're staring at it.
1:58:09
Speaker 10: Do you want to remind me of that again?
1:58:11
Speaker 7: Well, it blows my mind that this is your thought
1:58:15
Speaker 7: process regarding this.
1:58:15
Speaker 2: You know what he said also, Melfi, when they put
1:58:17
Speaker 2: it back in?
1:58:19
Speaker 7: If you are a boater, break out another thousand.
1:58:21
Speaker 10: Break out another thousand, and it is the stupidest investment
1:58:25
Speaker 10: I ever made.
1:58:27
Speaker 7: You can't even call it an investment.
1:58:28
Speaker 10: No, it depreciates.
1:58:30
Speaker 7: You bought something that floats on the water that loses money.
1:58:33
Speaker 10: And then I only use five months a year.
1:58:34
Speaker 2: But you love it.
1:58:37
Speaker 10: I don't love it now, Ron.
1:58:39
Speaker 2: Well, that's... My.
1:58:41
Speaker 10: Mechanic, I said, I gave him a list. He must
1:58:44
Speaker 10: need Christmas money because he goes, I'm almost done with
1:58:46
Speaker 10: the list. I go, last year's list didn't get done
1:58:48
Speaker 10: until July 4th. This year's list, all of a sudden,
1:58:52
Speaker 10: everything's good?
1:58:54
Speaker 2: What's something like that, Ron, Dave?
1:58:57
Speaker 21: Ron.
1:58:58
Speaker 10: What would you like to know what runs?
1:59:01
Speaker 2: When he's done with the list, what do you think?
1:59:02
Speaker 2: Something like $ 1, 000, $ 1, 500? You don't want.
1:59:07
Speaker 10: To know.
1:59:08
Speaker 7: He's going to go playing jump in traffic, Ron.
1:59:11
Speaker 10: Put it to you this way. Let me put it
1:59:12
Speaker 10: to you this way.
1:59:13
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:59:14
Speaker 10: I'll tell you what I pay my mechanic a year
1:59:16
Speaker 10: is almost what we pay our paralegals a year.
1:59:18
Speaker 2: $ 22, 000? And that's not parts.
1:59:25
Speaker 7: I never said you were smart. Nobody's ever said this
1:59:28
Speaker 7: is a smart thing.
1:59:30
Speaker 19: This is a self-induced wound that you reopen every year.
1:59:35
Speaker 10: Ron, I've never had you up on my alibi, have I?
1:59:40
Speaker 2: I'm too afraid because you go out to sea and
1:59:42
Speaker 2: then I'd be missing forever.
1:59:43
Speaker 10: No, you don't go out to sea. You go out
1:59:46
Speaker 10: to Lake Erie, which when you get there, you don't–
1:59:50
Speaker 10: Here's what I want to say about the boat. I
1:59:52
Speaker 10: can't believe we're talking about my boat again. Speaking of which,
1:59:55
Speaker 10: let me just take a little side turn.
1:59:57
Speaker 2: Let me do the headlines and I'll come right back
1:59:59

2:01:55
Speaker 2: you were talking about your dinghy.
2:01:57
Speaker 10: I think Jimmy has finally solved it. The dinghy problem.
2:02:02
Speaker 19: We are going to have a one day, and I'm
2:02:06
Speaker 19: not going to tell David until I announce it on
2:02:08
Speaker 19: the radio. We're going to have some sort of eulogy
2:02:12
Speaker 19: for the longest running civil case in the history of
2:02:17
Speaker 19: Manhattan County.
2:02:18
Speaker 10: My own lawyers wore me down.
2:02:22
Speaker 2: This is by design. Is it settled, though, Jim?
2:02:26
Speaker 19: I will announce it, and I'm not telling David until
2:02:29
Speaker 19: I announce it on the radio. And I'm going to
2:02:31
Speaker 19: wait until Frank is on the radio as well.
2:02:34
Speaker 2: Are you close, though? Yes.
2:02:38
Speaker 7: I'm just not telling David until one day.
2:02:40
Speaker 2: You'll announce it.
2:02:41
Speaker 19: I'm going to present him the check on the radio
2:02:46
Speaker 19: while Frank is present so I can let Frank just
2:02:49
Speaker 19: undress him for a little bit.
2:02:51
Speaker 3: Right.
2:02:51
Speaker 7: I think it's only fair.
2:02:53
Speaker 2: Right. I can hardly wait for that. Make sure you
2:02:56
Speaker 2: text me so we can promote that because Dave's broken
2:02:59
Speaker 2: dinghy has been an issue for many in our community
2:03:01
Speaker 2: for many years.
2:03:03
Speaker 7: I mean, it's been a 10-year run.
2:03:05
Speaker 6: Right.
2:03:06
Speaker 2: I mean, you know. Not 10 years.
2:03:07
Speaker 10: I'll tell you how long it's been.
2:03:11
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, you know, you go in courtrooms and
2:03:14
Speaker 2: judges are asking you about your broken dinghy and prosecutors.
2:03:16
Speaker 2: It's been a three-year run.
2:03:17
Speaker 10: It's been three years.
2:03:18
Speaker 2: Yeah. Unfortunately, I mean, it's. A lot of people are
2:03:22
Speaker 2: concerned about you when they see you out and about,
2:03:24
Speaker 2: asking you how your dinghy's doing.
2:03:26
Speaker 6: Yeah.
2:03:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad. I'm hoping it's going to work out
2:03:29
Speaker 2: for you, Dave, for the better. He needs the money
2:03:31
Speaker 2: now because he's got a wedding to pay for.
2:03:33
Speaker 7: Yeah, that'll pay for about a dozen roses.
2:03:36
Speaker 15: Yeah.
2:03:36
Speaker 7: See what I did there?
2:03:37
Speaker 10: No, I mean, it's... Don't even start talking about it.
2:03:41
Speaker 7: You're floral. You have no idea.
2:03:43
Speaker 19: You have no idea what your floral bill is going
2:03:47
Speaker 19: to be. And you know what they're going to do
2:03:49
Speaker 19: with it the next day?
2:03:50
Speaker 2: Throw it away.
2:03:51
Speaker 19: I'm going to go in the back of the dumpster
2:03:53
Speaker 19: at the William Penn before we check out and bake
2:03:55
Speaker 19: you a bouquet.
2:03:57
Speaker 6: Thank you.
2:03:57
Speaker 10: I appreciate that.
2:03:57
Speaker 7: You're welcome.
2:03:59
Speaker 2: They won't necessarily throw out. They'll take them home.
2:04:01
Speaker 10: All I know is when I got married 36 years ago.
2:04:05
Speaker 2: Right close to.
2:04:06
Speaker 10: The mic, Dave. My wife is from Los Angeles. She
2:04:09
Speaker 10: was born in Newcastle, Pennsylvania, but they moved out to
2:04:13
Speaker 10: Los Angeles. God bless my father-in-law. He was flipping houses
2:04:19
Speaker 10: in L.A., In the early 60s, okay? I don't even
2:04:25
Speaker 10: want to tell you how real estate blew up out there.
2:04:29
Speaker 7: I think it's self-explanatory, but go ahead.
2:04:31
Speaker 10: He got her a dress. By even today's standards, it
2:04:37
Speaker 10: would be obscene.
2:04:39
Speaker 6: Really? Yes.
2:04:41
Speaker 7: You know what I said.
2:04:42
Speaker 10: When I told you that figure, you lost your mind.
2:04:44
Speaker 19: I said, did Vera Wang come into downtown Ohio and
2:04:47
Speaker 19: stay there for six months and construct it?
2:04:51
Speaker 10: And so I said, you know, Pam, this dress has
2:04:53
Speaker 10: been boxed up here. We had it professionally boxed.
2:04:58
Speaker 2: Oh, what a great tradition to have your daughter wear it.
2:05:01
Speaker 10: No, she's going to use a part of the dress.
2:05:04
Speaker 7: They're going to cut it.
2:05:05
Speaker 10: They're going to do a veil or something with it.
2:05:08
Speaker 2: Why not the whole thing? What's the point?
2:05:13
Speaker 10: I can't say. I'd get killed.
2:05:15
Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
2:05:18
Speaker 15: Well.
2:05:19
Speaker 2: What's a dress? I mean, it's just another check, Dave.
2:05:22
Speaker 2: What the heck?
2:05:23
Speaker 10: Yeah, what the heck?
2:05:24
Speaker 7: You only have one daughter.
2:05:25
Speaker 6: Yeah.
2:05:27
Speaker 10: Except I have one son. I'm going to probably want
2:05:29
Speaker 10: to pay him for his wedding.
2:05:33
Speaker 7: This is like a funeral show. This is the most
2:05:36
Speaker 7: depressing radio show in a long time.
2:05:40
Speaker 10: I have a third child. I think he's alive. I
2:05:42
Speaker 10: think I talked to him. I think he's still got
2:05:46
Speaker 10: that disease on his fingers. He's able to answer, but
2:05:50
Speaker 10: I never get a call from him.
2:05:52
Speaker 25: Oh.
2:05:53
Speaker 10: I never hear from my youngest son.
2:05:55
Speaker 7: Really?
2:05:56
Speaker 19: Actually, I think my father-in-law had two six weeks apart.
2:05:59
Speaker 19: My wife's a twin. They got married six weeks apart.
2:06:03
Speaker 10: Wait.
2:06:03
Speaker 2: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
2:06:05
Speaker 10: Your dad married two people six weeks apart?
2:06:08
Speaker 2: No.
2:06:08
Speaker 7: My father-in-law paid for two weddings six weeks apart.
2:06:11
Speaker 10: Oh, my poor guy. My poor dude. They couldn't have
2:06:16
Speaker 10: a wedding together?
2:06:17
Speaker 3: Yeah.
2:06:17
Speaker 7: They've done everything together their entire life, but they didn't
2:06:20
Speaker 7: have a.
2:06:21
Speaker 10: Oh, I would have said, look, let's have one wedding.
2:06:25
Speaker 10: I mean, to get pummeled like that twice.
2:06:30
Speaker 3: Murdered.
2:06:30
Speaker 2: Murdered. Six weeks apart. Oh, boy. That's no good. Well, congratulations, Dave,
2:06:36
Speaker 2: in all seriousness, on two things that your dinghy... is
2:06:39
Speaker 2: going to be in better shape here shortly. And your
2:06:42
Speaker 2: daughter getting engaged.
2:06:44
Speaker 10: Betrothed.
2:06:46
Speaker 2: And proposed to in Mill Creek Park. It was a beautiful,
2:06:49
Speaker 2: beautiful ceremony.
2:06:50
Speaker 7: Where's the ceremony, Church?
2:06:52
Speaker 10: I think they're going to do it. I don't know. Look,
2:06:55
Speaker 10: you know why I don't know? Because information and knowledge
2:06:58
Speaker 10: is power. I want to be powerless in this whole situation.
2:07:02
Speaker 7: Yeah, I remember my wedding day.
2:07:05
Speaker 19: There's a picture of me in the back of Mount Carmel. Ron,
2:07:08
Speaker 19: you know, the end scene of Godfather 2 when Michael's
2:07:11
Speaker 19: pondering all of his decisions.
2:07:12
Speaker 2: Yes.
2:07:13
Speaker 7: My best man took a picture of me.
2:07:17
Speaker 19: In the sacristy and put it side by side like
2:07:19
Speaker 19: I do with David all the time.
2:07:21
Speaker 2: Yes.
2:07:22
Speaker 7: Of Michael pondering his life in me. And it is.
2:07:26
Speaker 2: I remember... I think I want to see that, Melty.
2:07:28
Speaker 10: I had a very.
2:07:29
Speaker 7: I'll send it to you.
2:07:29
Speaker 10: I had a very ethnic wedding, Ron.
2:07:34
Speaker 2: Really?
2:07:35
Speaker 10: It wasn't a wedding. It was a wedding week.
2:07:38
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
2:07:39
Speaker 10: We had a party every day for a week that culminated.
2:07:44
Speaker 10: The party started on Monday, and we got married on Sunday.
2:07:49
Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
2:07:49
Speaker 10: I had a party to go to every week.
2:07:51
Speaker 7: That's how the old-timers.
2:07:52
Speaker 2: Roll, though.
2:07:54
Speaker 10: By the time the wedding came around, you had a
2:07:56
Speaker 10: bunch of people from the Middle East. I couldn't get
2:07:59
Speaker 10: out of it. of the hall fast enough. I thought
2:08:02
Speaker 10: there was going to be fights. I thought there was
2:08:05
Speaker 10: going to be fisticuffs and food. You can't put that
2:08:09
Speaker 10: many people in there. And I'm Middle Eastern. You can't
2:08:12
Speaker 10: put that many people in the Middle East in a
2:08:15
Speaker 10: room and together that much. We don't get along that much. Who,
2:08:20
Speaker 10: you know, it just it was I couldn't wait to
2:08:23
Speaker 10: get out of my wedding night. I couldn't. I said, well,
2:08:24
Speaker 10: I'm ready to go. Let's go. Time to go.
2:08:28
Speaker 5: Beautiful.
2:08:29
Speaker 2: That's just beautiful. Congratulations. So, I mean, it's it's really
2:08:32
Speaker 2: a great time. And I don't know. I thought you
2:08:36
Speaker 2: posted some interesting stuff. Like you said, how quickly they
2:08:39
Speaker 2: grow up. And it was a very poignant thing that
2:08:42
Speaker 2: you wrote. I don't know if you have it in
2:08:43
Speaker 2: front of you or not. I thought it was really
2:08:44
Speaker 2: well written.
2:08:45
Speaker 7: Well, you know his phone's always in front of him. David,
2:08:47
Speaker 7: where's your phone case?
2:08:48
Speaker 10: I'm supposed to be getting a new phone. The i18s
2:08:52
Speaker 10: are out, supposedly.
2:08:53
Speaker 2: Well, Dave, you can't afford one. You've got too many
2:08:56
Speaker 2: other bills.
2:08:56
Speaker 7: I got an upgrade before you did. How about that?
2:08:59
Speaker 10: How unusual. Someone here. We're remodeling the office again, Ron.
2:09:03
Speaker 2: What was wrong with it?
2:09:07
Speaker 10: Once again, I'm going to give you my standard answer.
2:09:10
Speaker 10: Information and knowledge is power. There's a lot of places
2:09:14
Speaker 10: where I'm powerless. Brian is into, he can decorate and
2:09:21
Speaker 10: dress very well. I don't know.
2:09:23
Speaker 2: So all the stuff you paid for initially, you're going
2:09:28
Speaker 2: to rip out and put in a dumpster and put
2:09:29
Speaker 2: new stuff in.
2:09:30
Speaker 10: Yeah, basically.
2:09:32
Speaker 2: Oh, that's great.
2:09:32
Speaker 7: I'm staying right where I am.
2:09:34
Speaker 2: That's great.
2:09:35
Speaker 10: Yeah, my old office, I'm getting ejected. I'm getting ejected
2:09:39
Speaker 10: from my office.
2:09:41
Speaker 2: That's not good.
2:09:42
Speaker 10: I'm getting moved.
2:09:43
Speaker 2: All right, Melfi, make sure you text me that picture.
2:09:45
Speaker 2: I've got to see that. That's contemplating your decisions.
2:09:49
Speaker 7: Send me Ron's number because David won't give.
2:09:51
Speaker 3: It to me.
2:09:51
Speaker 10: I'll give it to you.
2:09:52
Speaker 2: All right, I've got to see it. Let's take some calls.
2:09:54
Speaker 7: I've asked you two radio shows. No, I'm not giving
2:09:57
Speaker 7: it to you.
2:09:58
Speaker 10: That is so untrue.
2:10:01
Speaker 2: Let's take a call. All right, you're on the air
2:10:04
Speaker 2: with the attorneys tonight. Hello.
2:10:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have a problem. I have a question, but
2:10:09
Speaker 4: I'm kind of curious. Do you mind if I ask
2:10:11
Speaker 4: what kind of boat Dave has?
2:10:13
Speaker 7: I'll tell you.
2:10:15
Speaker 10: Don't worry. I have a 55S Asmund.
2:10:18
Speaker 2: A what? What is it?
2:10:23
Speaker 10: A 55S Asmund.
2:10:25
Speaker 5: Okay.
2:10:26
Speaker 4: I'm doing a little shopping, so I'm looking at boats myself.
2:10:29
Speaker 10: Yeah, don't look. Someone warned me, don't buy an Italian boat.
2:10:34
Speaker 10: I go, why?
2:10:35
Speaker 7: Do you know where the parts come from?
2:10:37
Speaker 10: Italy.
2:10:37
Speaker 7: There you go.
2:10:38
Speaker 10: There you go.
2:10:38
Speaker 2: Doesn't it sound, Melfi, doesn't it sound to you like
2:10:40
Speaker 2: he says, my boat is a 55 ass man? No,
2:10:42
Speaker 2: ass man.
2:10:43
Speaker 10: I'm going to get fined, Ron.
2:10:46
Speaker 2: Remember that Kramer thing? You know when he gets that
2:10:48
Speaker 2: license plate?
2:10:51
Speaker 7: I do look like a good Seinfeld reference.
2:10:54
Speaker 6: Yeah.
2:10:55
Speaker 5: All right.
2:10:56
Speaker 4: Look at a Nordhaven 43. A trawler.
2:11:01
Speaker 10: A trawler.
2:11:03
Speaker 2: If you're going to get a trawler.
2:11:06
Speaker 10: If you're going to get a trawler, you've got to
2:11:08
Speaker 10: do the Great Loop.
2:11:11
Speaker 4: That's what a lot of them have done. Look at
2:11:13
Speaker 4: the used ones. A lot of them have already done
2:11:15
Speaker 4: the Great Loop.
2:11:15
Speaker 10: Yeah, the trawler is the way to go to do
2:11:18
Speaker 10: the Great Loop because you're in no hurry to get anywhere.
2:11:22
Speaker 10: It's about a three- or four-month trip, and I'd love
2:11:25
Speaker 10: to do it. I couldn't do it on my boat
2:11:26
Speaker 10: because it doesn't hold enough fuel, and it blows way
2:11:30
Speaker 10: too much fuel to do it. Do the Great Loop.
2:11:32
Speaker 4: I have a place in South Carolina on the intercoastal,
2:11:35
Speaker 4: so that would be my starting point.
2:11:38
Speaker 10: And then where would you– you'd start at South Carolina
2:11:41
Speaker 10: and go all the way around and come through?
2:11:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably. Yeah, so you should start in– I have
2:11:46
Speaker 4: all the charts.
2:11:47
Speaker 10: Yeah, you should start in April or May. That puts
2:11:49
Speaker 10: you in the Great Lakes, you know, around– that's the
2:11:54
Speaker 10: time to do it. I'd leave around April or May
2:11:58
Speaker 10: in South Carolina.
2:11:59
Speaker 3: April.
2:12:00
Speaker 6: You'd be in the.
2:12:01
Speaker 10: Great Lakes by summer, and then you'd be down past– yeah,
2:12:07
Speaker 10: you'd hit all the good weather by the time fall
2:12:09
Speaker 10: rolled around. It depends on how long you want to
2:12:11
Speaker 10: stay in each place, too.
2:12:12
Speaker 2: And if he runs into any pirates, maybe he runs
2:12:15
Speaker 2: into pirates.
2:12:16
Speaker 10: The Great Loop, Ron, is where you go through the
2:12:20
Speaker 10: Great Lakes, down through the middle of the country. You
2:12:22
Speaker 10: dump out into the Gulf of– well– America. Iran. Gulf
2:12:27
Speaker 10: of America. But to everyone else, it's the Gulf of Mexico.
2:12:31
Speaker 10: And then you go down through the peninsula, okay, and
2:12:34
Speaker 10: then up to east coast of America, and you can
2:12:37
Speaker 10: go in the intercoastal. Or sometimes if the water is
2:12:42
Speaker 10: high enough, they've got a canal right through the center
2:12:44
Speaker 10: of Florida. You can cut the peninsula off. But I'd
2:12:48
Speaker 10: go all the way down, and I'd even go to
2:12:50
Speaker 10: the Keys.
2:12:51
Speaker 2: Oh, that'd take forever.
2:12:51
Speaker 7: Forever.
2:12:53
Speaker 4: I'd like to do a Pacific. An Atlantic crossing is
2:12:55
Speaker 4: what I'd ultimately like to do.
2:12:58
Speaker 10: You want to cross the Atlantic?
2:13:01
Speaker 9: What?
2:13:02
Speaker 10: I don't know how much fuel your boat holds. You'd
2:13:06
Speaker 10: have to make arrangements to get fuel.
2:13:08
Speaker 7: Are we going to go to Greenland?
2:13:10
Speaker 2: No, I'd love to cross.
2:13:11
Speaker 7: What's your nautical mile range?
2:13:13
Speaker 11: Like 3,200 nautical mile range.
2:13:14
Speaker 10: On a full tank?
2:13:22
Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.
2:13:23
Speaker 10: Oh, my Lord.
2:13:24
Speaker 7: I haven't seen David this excited in.
2:13:27
Speaker 10: A long time. 3,200 nautical miles is a long way.
2:13:31
Speaker 10: You're not stopping and starting at stoplights. You're not merging traffic.
2:13:36
Speaker 10: You're not stopping and going. You're going about 8 or
2:13:40
Speaker 10: 9 or 10 knots. That's it.
2:13:42
Speaker 7: How long would an Atlanta crossing take in that thing?
2:13:44
Speaker 6: Three weeks. Yeah.
2:13:46
Speaker 7: So you're telling me you're not going to see land
2:13:48
Speaker 7: for three weeks.
2:13:49
Speaker 10: That's about how fast those container ships go.
2:13:52
Speaker 7: You ever see Captain Phillips?
2:13:53
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. I agree. Captain Phillips.
2:13:55
Speaker 7: That's all I tell David all the time.
2:13:58
Speaker 4: Five, six knots cruise.
2:14:01
Speaker 2: Yeah.
2:14:02
Speaker 10: Five, six knots cruise, so you're going about eight miles
2:14:04
Speaker 10: an hour.
2:14:04
Speaker 2: You're insane to do that.
2:14:06
Speaker 7: That's wild.
2:14:09
Speaker 2: Never.
2:14:09
Speaker 10: You put autopilot on. You just have to. You sit
2:14:12
Speaker 10: at the helm.
2:14:12
Speaker 2: What about a storm? What about a storm? You're talking
2:14:15
Speaker 2: about the autopilot.
2:14:16
Speaker 7: You ever see the Titanic?
2:14:17
Speaker 17: Yeah.
2:14:18
Speaker 10: When you do that, there are instruments and apps and
2:14:23
Speaker 10: stuff you buy. So you see what the seas are
2:14:26
Speaker 10: going to be like. You see what the weather is
2:14:27
Speaker 10: going to be like.
2:14:28
Speaker 2: And when you're out there, it can change.
2:14:30
Speaker 10: And then you avoid it.
2:14:31
Speaker 7: You're telling me that the weather just can't change.
2:14:33
Speaker 10: Yeah.
2:14:34
Speaker 4: There's a northern route and a southern route, right? You
2:14:37
Speaker 4: can pick northern or southern one.
2:14:40
Speaker 19: And help is so far away, so you're either going
2:14:43
Speaker 19: to be Magellan or Ponce de Leon, so you're going
2:14:45
Speaker 19: to go the southern route.
2:14:46
Speaker 4: That's why they make survival suits.
2:14:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, good luck with that and the sharks.
2:14:50
Speaker 10: I mean, and then you drive all night. You pilot
2:14:53
Speaker 10: it all night. I mean, you have someone at the
2:14:55
Speaker 10: helm always. You set on a course. You're at night
2:14:59
Speaker 10: instrument reading.
2:15:00
Speaker 2: And you hope that freighter sees you when they crush
2:15:03
Speaker 2: you in half.
2:15:04
Speaker 10: First of all, the freighters have what's called AIS, so
2:15:07
Speaker 10: you make sure you have AIS on your boat. And
2:15:10
Speaker 10: you know where every ship is around you. And, you know,
2:15:13
Speaker 10: I mean, I have a lot of instruments, but I
2:15:17
Speaker 10: don't really need that many because generally, unless I'm going
2:15:20
Speaker 10: to Canada, straight across Lake Erie, I can see land.
2:15:25
Speaker 10: But there's a point where you're going to Canada where
2:15:26
Speaker 10: you see no land.
2:15:28
Speaker 2: That's a scary sight, too. It is.
2:15:32
Speaker 10: And Lake Erie is a small lake.
2:15:34
Speaker 2: And let me ask you something, caller. Do you have
2:15:37
Speaker 2: a will?
2:15:37
Speaker 3: 3,200 nautical miles.
2:15:41
Speaker 10: I'm impressed. Wait a minute, Ron. I'm talking to a
2:15:45
Speaker 10: boat guy.
2:15:46
Speaker 2: Leave me alone. How big is your fuel tank? What's that?
2:15:50
Speaker 10: How much fuel does your boat hold?
2:15:53
Speaker 4: About 2,200 gallons. Yeah, but.
2:15:57
Speaker 10: You're getting 3,200 nautical miles.
2:16:00
Speaker 2: I'm shopping.
2:16:01
Speaker 4: I haven't bought it yet, right? They do it in
2:16:03
Speaker 4: a sailboat all the time.
2:16:04
Speaker 10: Yeah, but they use sails on it.
2:16:07
Speaker 7: A sailboat.
2:16:08
Speaker 10: Here's what I learned about sailboats that someone told me.
2:16:13
Speaker 10: It blows your mind. You think you save money on
2:16:15
Speaker 10: a sailboat? You really don't. Every three years, you've got
2:16:17
Speaker 10: to replace those sails. And those things run you, depending
2:16:21
Speaker 10: on the boat, about 50 Gs.
2:16:24
Speaker 7: For some boat sheets?
2:16:25
Speaker 10: For some sails, yes, sir. Absolutely. Am I right? Are
2:16:30
Speaker 10: you a boater, right?
2:16:32
Speaker 3: Right?
2:16:32
Speaker 6: Three years?
2:16:34
Speaker 7: So you're Jack Sparrow.
2:16:36
Speaker 10: Yeah, no, you're... And it's work. You're like tacking and
2:16:40
Speaker 10: you're going into the wind and you're always sort of
2:16:43
Speaker 10: riding sideways. No, thank you.
2:16:45
Speaker 6: No, thank you.
2:16:46
Speaker 7: Across the Atlantic. Riding sideways across the Atlantic at the sailboat.
2:16:49
Speaker 10: Yeah, because the wind, you've got to get the right wind.
2:16:52
Speaker 10: And a good sailor can sail into wind.
2:16:56
Speaker 6: Do you understand?
2:16:56
Speaker 10: I know that sounds bizarre, but the wind is not
2:16:59
Speaker 10: behind you and you're still going forward.
2:17:01
Speaker 19: Do you understand we've evolved as a society? You know,
2:17:03
Speaker 19: we used to have a horse and Carriage. Then they
2:17:09
Speaker 19: invented the Model T. So you're telling me we've evolved
2:17:13
Speaker 19: that much?
2:17:14
Speaker 10: And people love the sail. And I've gone out on
2:17:16
Speaker 10: a sailboat. There is something about just the wind taking you.
2:17:20
Speaker 10: I'll be honest with you.
2:17:21
Speaker 7: Across the Atlantic.
2:17:23
Speaker 10: Well, there is a zen to it.
2:17:25
Speaker 7: I'm telling you. Can you send me Ron's number so
2:17:28
Speaker 7: I can send.
2:17:29
Speaker 2: Him this picture? Melfi is spot on. All right. Is
2:17:32
Speaker 2: that it, caller?
2:17:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, I had a quick investment question.
2:17:35
Speaker 2: Before you do that, here's my advice to you. Buy
2:17:38
Speaker 2: yourself a soccer ball because you're going to need that Wilson.
2:17:41
Speaker 7: Wilson!
2:17:42
Speaker 15: Yeah.
2:17:43
Speaker 3: All right, Ted.
2:17:45
Speaker 19: Why don't you make sure Tom Hanks is on your boat, too?
2:17:47
Speaker 19: He's great to travel with.
2:17:48
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
2:17:51
Speaker 4: I've always had, like, we've had our own businesses, so
2:17:53
Speaker 4: I've always had my own unqualified accounts. I have a sizable,
2:18:01
Speaker 4: a couple of sizable accounts.
2:18:04
Speaker 10: I would hope so if you were to go across
2:18:05
Speaker 10: the Atlantic.
2:18:07
Speaker 4: Pardon me?
2:18:08
Speaker 10: I would hope so if you're going across the Atlantic
2:18:10
Speaker 10: because right now, you said you have how big of
2:18:13
Speaker 10: a tank? 4,000 gallons? 2,200 gallons.
2:18:15
Speaker 6: 2,200.
2:18:15
Speaker 4: Diesel or gas? Yeah, diesel.
2:18:16
Speaker 10: Wait, 2,200 gallons. Usually twin cats.
2:18:19
Speaker 4: Or luggers are twin, usually.
2:18:22
Speaker 10: So when I last filled up my boat before.
2:18:24
Speaker 4: I stored it, it was $ 7. 30 a gallon for diesel.
2:18:27
Speaker 4: Marine diesel.
2:18:40
Speaker 6: Yeah.
2:18:41
Speaker 4: It would be about $ 2, 000 to fill that thing up. Or,
2:18:45
Speaker 4: I mean, $ 10, 000 to fill up for the trip.
2:18:47
Speaker 10: No, well.
2:18:49
Speaker 19: Yeah, if you can bid passage on the Queen Mary
2:18:52
Speaker 19: first class.
2:18:55
Speaker 7: This is crazy. Can you send me Ron's number, please?
2:18:59
Speaker 18: Okay.
2:18:59
Speaker 2: Thank goodness. You would be looking at at least $ 15, 000,
2:19:02
Speaker 2: $ 16, 000 to gas a boat up. You better have sizable accounts.
2:19:06
Speaker 7: And here's the thing. You've got to get back, too.
2:19:09
Speaker 10: Or you could get over there and you could sell
2:19:13
Speaker 10: the boat there.
2:19:16
Speaker 2: Good luck.
2:19:17
Speaker 4: I can't afford to lose any money in my account.
2:19:20
Speaker 18: That's why, you know.
2:19:23
Speaker 2: You're insane, caller. What's your question?
2:19:26
Speaker 4: So the question is, I have an account, and I'd
2:19:30
Speaker 4: like to, you know, I'm out of the country on something,
2:19:33
Speaker 4: and I'd like to have somebody manage it, right? It's
2:19:36
Speaker 4: been with a couple of different brokers. So I'm thinking
2:19:39
Speaker 4: about moving it. So I did a little research, and
2:19:42
Speaker 4: there's a person who's really well-known who I was going
2:19:48
Speaker 4: to actually consider putting it in his hedge fund. But
2:19:51
Speaker 4: I looked at his– in FINRA, you know, the financial.
2:19:55
Speaker 6: The broker check.
2:19:56
Speaker 4: We look up brokers and stuff. Yeah, so I looked
2:19:58
Speaker 4: him up, and he's in there, but he doesn't seem
2:20:01
Speaker 4: to have any licenses anymore. He's not an investment broker anymore.
2:20:05
Speaker 19: So he's what's called a previously registered broker.
2:20:08
Speaker 4: When he was an investment broker, there's a whole long
2:20:11
Speaker 4: list of customer disputes.
2:20:14
Speaker 7: Okay, so let me help you out here. Yeah, help
2:20:17
Speaker 7: me out. I handle these types of cases.
2:20:21
Speaker 10: Jimmy just settled a case.
2:20:23
Speaker 7: It's not confidential, but.
2:20:26
Speaker 10: No, I didn't say name or anything else.
2:20:28
Speaker 2: Oh, I know.
2:20:29
Speaker 10: I just said you settled it.
2:20:30
Speaker 4: I'm looking at like nine or ten customer disputes here.
2:20:33
Speaker 19: So there's a reporting requirement in FINRA where if there's
2:20:39
Speaker 19: what they call a customer complaint, you report it to FINRA,
2:20:43
Speaker 19: and it's going to end up on your broker check. Now,
2:20:45
Speaker 19: because he's a previously registered broker, that does not mean
2:20:49
Speaker 19: that his licenses– have laps or are not active. That
2:20:54
Speaker 19: just means he is not registered with what they call
2:20:57
Speaker 19: a broker-dealer. And hedge fund guys are not registered with broker-dealers.
2:21:05
Speaker 19: Sounds like you need a fiduciary because, you know, you're
2:21:08
Speaker 19: just going to sail across the ocean. You know, hedge
2:21:12
Speaker 19: funds carry risk.
2:21:15
Speaker 2: I would....
2:21:17
Speaker 7: Seek out some fiduciary.
2:21:18
Speaker 4: The SEC page says he has no licenses, zero licenses.
2:21:23
Speaker 4: But he's starting a hedge fund, and I'm considering.
2:21:25
Speaker 16: Going in with him.
2:21:26
Speaker 2: Well, then talk to him.
2:21:27
Speaker 10: I can tell you, you can't call yourself an investment advisor.
2:21:30
Speaker 7: It's an IA without a series license, yes. So he
2:21:34
Speaker 7: has to be a registered investment advisor.
2:21:35
Speaker 4: Zero. Previously.
2:21:37
Speaker 7: Okay.
2:21:38
Speaker 4: Previous investment advisor.
2:21:39
Speaker 19: That means he does not owe you a fiduciary duty.
2:21:43
Speaker 19: That means he does not have to act in your
2:21:45
Speaker 19: best interest at all times.
2:21:46
Speaker 2: Hedge funds are way different. All right. Good luck to you.
2:21:49
Speaker 3: All right.
2:21:50
Speaker 7: What do you think about that picture, Ron? It's a classic.
2:21:53
Speaker 7: I told you. It might win, too.
2:21:54
Speaker 10: Can you send it to me, Jimmy?
2:21:56
Speaker 7: I'll send it to you.
2:21:57
Speaker 2: I mean, it really is very interesting, very eerie. You're
2:22:01
Speaker 2: on the air with the attorney's question.
2:22:03
Speaker 6: Go ahead.
2:22:03
Speaker 3: Is that me?
2:22:06
Speaker 2: Yes. What's your question, please?
2:22:08
Speaker 25: All right. I've got a concrete driveway that was about
2:22:11
Speaker 25: 40 years old, and I said, well, I want to
2:22:13
Speaker 25: get the driveway redone. And I was talking to a
2:22:17
Speaker 25: gentleman who got nice-looking equipment. I've seen it and this
2:22:20
Speaker 25: and that. And we were talking, and I said, okay,
2:22:22
Speaker 25: I want you to do half of it. So the
2:22:25
Speaker 25: half he was doing was like 22 foot by 40 foot.
2:22:29
Speaker 25: He does it. It was like $ 7, 500 to do that
2:22:32
Speaker 25: particular section. And it is absolutely hideous. I mean, hideous.
2:22:40
Speaker 25: There's spalling. There's extreme roughness to the point where it's
2:22:44
Speaker 25: chewing up my tires when I roll over. If I
2:22:47
Speaker 25: can't use a turnaround, I use a turnaround. It just
2:22:49
Speaker 25: leaves black marks all over the place.
2:22:52
Speaker 16: It's wavy.
2:22:53
Speaker 10: How much did you pay him for this? How much
2:22:57
Speaker 10: did you pay him for this?
2:22:57
Speaker 23: $ 7, 500.
2:22:58
Speaker 25: And how much to repair it?
2:23:05
Speaker 10: First of all, can it be repaired?
2:23:08
Speaker 25: No, it can't be repaired. There's concrete splatter on my side. Well,
2:23:12
Speaker 25: you hired the guy.
2:23:13
Speaker 10: When you say it can't be repaired, you mean it
2:23:16
Speaker 10: has to be torn out and then re-cemented?
2:23:19
Speaker 7: Correct.
2:23:19
Speaker 10: And have you gotten an estimate on that?
2:23:22
Speaker 25: Well, yeah, I've got one other estimate from a guy
2:23:24
Speaker 25: that was $ 9, 100.
2:23:26
Speaker 10: That was to tear it out and to relay the
2:23:32
Speaker 10: cement then, right? You got a $ 9, 000 lawsuit, is what
2:23:36
Speaker 10: you have.
2:23:37
Speaker 6: Yes.
2:23:39
Speaker 25: So do I ask them for my money? Before I
2:23:41
Speaker 25: go to a small claims court, do I ask them for.
2:23:43
Speaker 10: The money back? I don't think that small claims doesn't
2:23:45
Speaker 10: go up to that much, does it, Jimmy?
2:23:47
Speaker 7: No, he's in Muni Court.
2:23:49
Speaker 2: You need to hire a lawyer and go to Muni Court.
2:23:51
Speaker 2: All right.
2:23:52
Speaker 10: Well, no, you could go to a county court, too.
2:23:54
Speaker 10: But the small claims, I think, is what, $ 6, 000 now?
2:23:56
Speaker 7: It's $ 5, 000 or $ 6, 000, but yeah. You're out of that jurisdiction.
2:24:00
Speaker 25: I thought in PPA it went to $ 12, 000.
2:24:03
Speaker 10: Oh, you're in PA? I'd have to look that up.
2:24:05
Speaker 10: You might be right.
2:24:07
Speaker 7: Information is king, and we didn't have that information.
2:24:09
Speaker 2: All right, you could be right. But you hired the guy.
2:24:13
Speaker 2: You should check his workout.
2:24:16
Speaker 25: You know, you're an ass.
2:24:17
Speaker 16: You know what?
2:24:18
Speaker 25: I know.
2:24:18
Speaker 7: I'm just.
2:24:20
Speaker 2: Telling you. You're an absolute ass. No, wait a minute.
2:24:25
Speaker 3: I'm an ass.
2:24:26
Speaker 15: Listen.
2:24:26
Speaker 2: Listen here. I'm an ass because.
2:24:29
Speaker 10: How'd that glancing blow?
2:24:31
Speaker 2: You know what? He's angry because I pointed out he
2:24:33
Speaker 2: hired the guy. Didn't you check him out? He's got
2:24:36
Speaker 2: a lousy drive when he's upset that I point out
2:24:38
Speaker 2: he hired the guy.
2:24:39
Speaker 7: Caller, finish what you were saying to Ron. I want
2:24:42
Speaker 7: you to finish your thought. Ron, you didn't hang up
2:24:44
Speaker 7: on him.
2:24:44
Speaker 2: I'm done with him.
2:24:46
Speaker 7: Oh, come on. We sit here and bust all day.
2:24:50
Speaker 2: I know.
2:24:51
Speaker 7: And some guy calls you a name.
2:24:52
Speaker 10: I get roasted every day. I get called every day.
2:24:55
Speaker 7: Not just on the radio. Yeah, every day.
2:24:56
Speaker 10: All day. I come home, and my wife goes, oh,
2:25:00
Speaker 10: you only have 20 arrows sticking out of your back today.
2:25:02
Speaker 10: I says, yeah, there's a couple that are a little deeper. Ron,
2:25:05
Speaker 10: he gets called an A-S-S, and he goes, he gets
2:25:08
Speaker 10: all hurt.
2:25:08
Speaker 7: He hangs up.
2:25:09
Speaker 10: That's right.
2:25:10
Speaker 2: Well, no, because the guy got upset because I point
2:25:12
Speaker 2: out the obvious. He hired the guy. He should have
2:25:14
Speaker 2: checked him out at a time.
2:25:15
Speaker 10: He's all upset. You can have the most capable surgeon,
2:25:18
Speaker 10: and he make a mistake.
2:25:19
Speaker 3: Oh.
2:25:20
Speaker 10: Human beings make errors.
2:25:22
Speaker 7: We are not automated.
2:25:23
Speaker 15: Yeah.
2:25:24
Speaker 2: We're working on it.
2:25:26
Speaker 10: I saw Elon Musk's flying car. It was bizarre.
2:25:30
Speaker 2: Thank you, David. Thank you. Congratulations to your daughter. Legal
