• 0:01
  Speaker 1: I cannot believe what I just heard. I mean, I'm
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: sitting here listening to the news at 3 o'clock, and
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I can't believe what I heard. And I find it
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: deeply disturbing and troubling. Were you paying attention to the
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: news at 3? Were you listening? So I'm sitting here
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and they're talking about the inflation rate being at over 3%.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: And did you hear the sound bites from President Trump?
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Did you? Were you paying attention? When they talked about
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the inflation rates and costs going up and ask him
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a question about it. Did you hear his response? The
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: only thing I'm focused on is Iran and a nuclear weapon.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not even thinking about any of that. I'm not
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: even focused on it, not even thinking about it. Did
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you hear that statement coming from Trump? I find that
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: deeply disturbing. I mean, in all seriousness, were you paying
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: attention at 3 o'clock during that newscast and hear that
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: statement coming from the president? When they're saying, okay, inflation
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: went high. It's high at over 3%. Gas prices are high.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: So they ask him once again about that. And his
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: reaction is, I'm not even paying attention to that. The
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: only thing I'm concerned about is Iran getting a nuclear weapon.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: That was his reaction. Basically what he said. How's that
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: make you feel? How does that make you feel? As
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a Trump voter, I find it deeply disturbing. I want
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to say you sure as hell should be concerned about
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: it because you caused it. Here's my reaction to his
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: comments in that fashion. My answer to that is, you
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: caused this. You're not paying attention to it. You're not
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: concerned about it. You created this mess. This isn't Joe Biden.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: This is on you. And all of a sudden... When
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you would be talking about affordability and inflation when you
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: were running in America first, all of a sudden, you're
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: not even thinking about it. You're just thinking about Iran
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and a nuclear weapon. And what effect this is having
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: on each and every one of us. That stunned me.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Absolutely stunned me. It was like, I don't care about that.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I don't care where you are with gas and inflation
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and the pressure it's putting on everybody's finances. For that
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: back burner, all I care about is Iran and the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: nuclear weapon. I mean, you heard it, right? I'm not exaggerating.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: That's what he said. And that's what I find deeply troubling.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: CNBC headline, S & P 500 retreats from record as
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: tech rally cools off, inflation flares up. Headline on CNBC.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: So digging deeper on their site, it's not just Iran
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and oil rising. So it's not just Iran and the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: cost of oil. Prices are also re-accelerating in other areas.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: It's inflation. So it's not just about Iran. It's not
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: just about oil. It's inflation. Headlines. Traders believe inflation could
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: near 5% this year. Listen, I'm going to tell each
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and every one of you, you better be concerned about this.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I think you can focus on more than one thing
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: at a time. But you better be concerned about this.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Because your constituents are. So when they're talking about Trump
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: believes inflation could near 5% this year. Markets raise chances
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: for a Fed rate hike. Not a cut in interest rates,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: but a hike following hot inflation reports. In my opinion,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: not making this up from the financial pages. And don't
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: come on at 3 o'clock, presidents, and tell me you're
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: not paying attention to it. You damn well better be
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: paying attention. I say as a Trump voter, not once,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: not twice, but three times. And as I like to emphasize,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: make no mistake, I wouldn't vote for Biden or Kamala
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: or Sherrod Brown or any Democrats. They're a disaster. They're
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: an absolute disaster. So I'm not so stupid that I'd say, oh, well,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: that means I'm going to vote for the Democrat. That's
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: not going to happen. But I sure am disappointed in
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: that response to what is a significant problem for a
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: growing number of our constituents here. The problem being the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: cost of living. The cost of living. That is the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: big problem. That is the huge problem. The cost of living.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: So now we're not just talking about what it costs
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: for a gallon of gas. Now we're talking about overall inflation.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Now we're talking about a rate hike from the feds.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: This is not good news. Markets, Dow is up 80.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Everything else is in the red. Bad day for your 401k.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Bad day for your IRA. Bad day for your investments.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: This is... and should be the primary concern of the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: White House. Because they're going to live or die on this.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: If they don't do something about this, the midterms will
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: be lost. Because it is the economy stupid. Every time
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: you get away from that, you're reminded of that after
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: an election. It is the economy stupid. And when people
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: are seeing their lifestyle decline and are concerned about surviving
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and affording things, that's of concern. And to give a
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: quote like that, I'm not focused on that. Well, you
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: sure as hell should be. You were elected on affordability.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: And right now you're not making it better. You're making
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: it worse. Comments, please. It might not be what he
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: wants to hear, but that is the reality out there.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: And a hell of a lot more people are going
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: to be concerned with what's happening to their wallets and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: cost and lifestyle than they are about Iran and a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: nuclear weapon. I doubt that too many of you were
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: staying up at night before this started scared of Iran
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: with a nuclear weapon. I seriously doubt it. You might
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: act like you are now because you've been fed some
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: of this from the media, but you weren't on top
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: of this before this situation took place. You weren't concerned
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: about Iran and a nuclear weapon until they told you
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and they started focusing on why you should be. or
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: thinking you should be, or trying to convince you you
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: should be. And I repeat, once again, the majority of
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: people in this country are not on board with this.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: But the majority of people are under attack when it
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: comes to these economic numbers. All right, let's see if
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: we can start out with some interesting comments. You're on
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the air.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, good afternoon. Well, you said it right. I
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: heard it, too. I couldn't believe it. My jaw dropped.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: So did mine.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it..
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: How is it our gas prices are so high? All
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: the countries throughout the world, except for maybe Canada, they're
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: paying double the amount that we're paying for our price
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: per gallon, almost three times as much. $ 12 a gallon.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: But it was all the soil from Venezuela. How come
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: we aren't doing that? But mark my words. Mark my words.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: At the end of the year, when the taxes are
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: done and put in, you are going to see that these...
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: corporations that make the gas and everything else, they are
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: going to have a record-breaking year of almost trillion dollars
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: in making money.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I totally agree with that. I completely agree with that statement.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: You're saying the oil companies will have record-breaking years, and
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I agree with that.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: The thing of it is, is Europe's already looking at
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: the Shell Corporation and BP because they're already showing it
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: on how much money they're making. So they're talking about
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: taxing the windfall tax. I wouldn't call it a windfall tax.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Hell no, I'd call it what it is, a tax
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: for gouging the people of the world. That's what I
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: would call it.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you heard the comments as I did,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: because you have to pay attention to it, and I
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: was absolutely stunned. By that comment. And my reaction is,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: you sure as hell should be concerned about it, because
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I got news for you. I am. I'm concerned about it,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: because guess what? It affects me.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: You're right. It affects us all, doesn't it?
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, it does.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Here, I'd like to change it just a little bit.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: On the governor race coming up, Dr. Pat, upon looking
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: at her memoirs or whatever, on how she was, where
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: she was. And if I understand it correctly, I've only
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: researched it once. She's a native of Youngstown, Ohio.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, you mean Amy Acton. That is true.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: And she also was homeless for a while, worked her
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: way up. But every time she made a move, when
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: the COVID epidemic came in, the one man that backed
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: her was DeWine. One specific statement was, we are going
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: to follow the sciences of this disease. So she put
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: it out there. She left because her and her family,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: just like Major Taylor Greene, left because she was receiving
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: life threats against her and her family.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but let's back up for a second. Where are
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: you calling out, PA?
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. Niles, Ohio.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, Niles.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Well, then you were, obviously, you were in Ohio, as
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I was when this was going on. It doesn't matter.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: She left at a critical time and hightailed it out.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Just bear with me. There isn't an excuse that's acceptable
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: for me for that. If you think it's difficult being
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the state doctor and you can't take that pressure... Well,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: wait till you're governor because it's going to be way
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: more pressure, way more intense, and way more disagreements or
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: controversy that comes with it. I mean, do you think
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: that Amy Acton was under more stress than the governor
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: is or the governor is now? Like when people are
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: pointing to DeWine right now and saying, well, wait a minute.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: What about all this fraud that's happening in Ohio? How
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: did they get away with it? Why weren't you on
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: top of it? Why weren't you doing anything? I mean,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: it's fair criticism to ask DeWine. I mean, as a Republican,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: you can't give him a pass when they're talking about
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: billions of dollars of fraud in Ohio. And he is
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: silent about it. I'm not seeing much of a difference
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: between him and Tampon Tim on this.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Well, you got a point there, but he's a Republican,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: and they'll go ahead to hide it. But the thing
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: that bothers me is when he got nailed for it
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: the first time, under all those unemployment checks and all
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: that money given out, his statement was direct. He looked
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: at everybody and said, you're right, but I was thinking
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: of the kids.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I get tired of it. Listen, fraud is fraud. I
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: get tired of it. They're talking about the folks in
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Ohio stealing huge sums of Medicaid money. Medicaid makes up
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: half of the state budget. $ 45 million of a $ 90
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: million budget, basically, in the state of Ohio. Is it
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: million or billion? I would think it would be billion.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: But anyway, $ 90 billion budget. Or maybe it's a million.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I'll have to check. But half of our state budget
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: goes to Medicaid. And with fraud, you should be concerned.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Hang on. I'll come right back to you and let
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: you wrap up in a minute.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: Youngstown's News, Weather, and Talk Station, 570 WKBN.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: All I can say to you, my friend in Niles,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: is that Amy Acton is... She isn't going to lower
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: your taxes. It's not their philosophy. Democrats will create more
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: handout programs. We can see what they've done in other states.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: She is a progressive far-left Democrat. It doesn't matter to
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: me that her roots are in Youngstown. She is a
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: far-left progressive Democrat. I don't want to become a sanctuary state.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I don't want to have more government programs and government handouts.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I don't want to see taxes go up. Now, with
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: that being said, do I agree with her on, for example,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: one thing she says is that we should restore the
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: government funding back to local governments. I agree with her
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: on that. So I don't disagree with her on everything.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I do agree with her on that. But I know
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: what her philosophy is, and her philosophy isn't one that
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I can vote for. And I tell you that straightforward,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: just as I say I'm deeply disappointed in Mike DeWine
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and where he stands. And I think Vivek will be
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: a much better person at running this state, I think,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: in the right direction. that can benefit all of us
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: in Ohio, productive people in Ohio. I leave you with that.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: But I'm glad of one thing. I'm glad you were
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: as stunned sitting in Niles, Ohio, as I was sitting
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: here in Boardman, Ohio, when you heard that statement come
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: out of the president's mouth. That's just unbelievable to me.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: To me, yeah, it just shows what his thinking is.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you don't want them to have a bomb,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: a nuclear bomb, then you need to do, you've got
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: steps here that are involved. And the one country that's
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: going to hold it up is Israel.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Well, let's be realistic. The bunker buster had to set
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: them back. All of this bombing had to set them back.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: So I don't know that we know what damage has
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: been done. I think their idea of getting a bomb
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: anytime soon is probably out of the equation at this
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: point in time. So how long do you want to
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: stay with this? Do you want to stay with it
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: as you destroy the American economy? And I do mean
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: destroy it. Put us in a deep recession. Cause unemployment.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Cause inflation. Cause a down market. If that's your choice,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: then you'll suffer the consequences as Joe Biden did when
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: people felt he was totally out of touch in a
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Republican sweep with the problems that we're facing each and
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: every individual American. It's Americans first.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Good hearing you.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you started things off for me today.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: Appreciate it.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Well, that's fine. I'm glad to hear I could do
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: that for you. But the thing that bothers me about
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: that whole thing in the Middle East is Iran don't care.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: We'll go back to moving with camels.
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: There you go.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Yep, I keep hearing a deal's imminent. I've been hearing
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: it for weeks. Well, where is it? Now I'm hearing
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: we've got to go back to bombing.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: We're not going to get one out of them.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: What he wants out of them people. And the first
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: country that's got to step, that they're going to have
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: to pull back on, is this country of Israel. You
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: don't need any nuclear bombs. You remove them nuclear bombs,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Iran may come to the table. And under that, the
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: United States should say, We need people to come in
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: and check this. And I would suggest you start with England,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: with their people to come in to look for it, France, Germany, China.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Well, Iran's going to argue, listen, we pretty much had
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: control of the strait before this happened. We're not giving
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: up control of it now because of the geography of
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: where it's located. It's located by us.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: But most of that oil goes right to China. You
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: don't even go any other place.
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Appreciate your time.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: You have a nice day today.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: You too. NewsRadio 570. Let me pause for the headlines.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: At 3.30, then I come back and pick up with
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: more of your calls. Ron Verb from the Kingdom of Mahoning. Yes,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I am. Here until 5.30, then the Guardian Spree Game.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: WKVN.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: Ron Verb, NewsRadio 570.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: WKVN.
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: You're on the air.
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I was just calling back from yesterday to talk
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: about the Vindicator's editorial May 2nd.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: I don't want to talk about that.
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: But you still want to talk about it.
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: No, I do.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I do. This was a– I missed this editorial, and
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I get the Vindicator. I might even have it here somewhere,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: May 2nd. Let's see. What is it today? So 10
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: days ago, this is what the Vindicator wrote pertinent to
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the property tax. Go ahead and read it to us.
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: Okay, so the title is, Ohio Tax Abolition Campaign Stumbles,
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: Opposition Grows. From a variety of perspectives, the Axe Ohio
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: Tax Movement to abolish all local property taxes in Ohio
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: is going over like a proverbial lead ballooned. Consider, and
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: then they have three bullet points, it's nearly a year-long
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: drive to collect its goal of 620,000 ballot access petition
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: signatures as of last week has fallen woefully short, lacking
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: 315,000 needed signers. And time is running short for their
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: submission to state officials to qualify for this fall's ballot.
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: Their second point, a mushrooming coalition of more than 65
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: organizations and local governments across the state have united under
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: the banner of Ohioans to protect public services to aggressively
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: oppose the proposed voter-initiated state constitutional amendment. Their third point,
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: property tax reform has jettisoned to priority number one in
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: the Ohio General Assembly with successful results ever since the
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: Citizens for Property Tax Reforms campaign in began in early 2025. Okay,
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: that's Beth Blackmar's group, not Brian Massey's group. So far,
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: according to State Rep. Dave Thomas, a leader in the
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: tax relief push, Ohioans will enjoy about $ 3. 8 billion in
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: property tax reductions over the next three years, thanks to
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: reforms enacted over this past year. Nonetheless, even though the
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: abolition movement appears to be grasping for oxygen and the
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: opposition movement gains more stamina by the day, the future
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: of stable public services in local communities remains at risk
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: if ACTS Ohio Tax's principal goal is not taken dead
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: seriously and not fought vociferously. At a press conference last
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: week in Kirtland, Ohio, Axe Ohio Tax co-founder Brian Massey
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: issued an urgent plea for a tsunami of petition signatures
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: by June 1st and suggested the group may prolong its
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: petition drive into next year, thereby missing again its goal
• 21:56
  Speaker 8: of statewide vote this November. The group last year missed
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: its initial target of November 2025 for ballot placement because
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: of insufficient signatures. I'm not sure what they're talking about.
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: From the perspective of Axe Ohio Tax, activating the yellow
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: caution light would serve its serious, albeit misguided, mission well.
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: It would lessen the very real risk of their year-long
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: movement sinking for the lack of sufficient and properly signed
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: and organized petitions. I don't know where the vindicator gets
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: that either. From our perspective, the year-long delay would provide
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: more than ample time to greatly amplify the opposition voice
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: as well as to complement newly enacted tax reforms with
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: even more substantive measures to usher in more tax relief,
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: all of which could render the abolition movement moot. But
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: as of today, the outcome is far from certain, and
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: Ohio voters could still conceivably put the kibosh on all
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: local property tax collections in a statewide vote this fall.
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: The stakes are clearly too high not to intensify the
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: anti-tax abolition campaign. Just how high are those stakes? According
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: to the memo, Ohio Office of Budget and Management Director
• 23:07
  Speaker 8: Kimberly Mernicks wrote to Governor DeWine earlier this year, Ohio
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: would need to quadruple or more from 2.75% up to 15%
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: statewide its income tax to replace local property tax levies. Further,
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: according to the Ohio Department of Taxation, the state would
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: have to raise its sales tax up to 18% of
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: the cost of purchased goods to provide a suitable cushion
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: to finance local safety services, schools, libraries, and other critical
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: services currently funded via local property taxes. Oh, so libraries
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: are critical, right?
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Just keep this in mind as everybody's listening to this,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: this vindicated editorial. here's my reaction. Well, I guess there's
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: just no answer. I guess based on what they're saying,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: there's just no answer, folks. If we get rid of
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: property taxes, here's what the sales tax is going to
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: have to be. Here's what the income tax is going
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: to have to be. We're not talking anything about cutting anything.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's absolutely nothing about, they just want to
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: reshuffle the chairs on the Titanic. So the whole point
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: of the article is, as I've said to all of you,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: as you're listening to this, and I remind you, they
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: won't be happy until they have all of your money.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I say it once again. It will never be enough.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: They continue to take more. They got a giant increase
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: with their last re-evaluations. They're not willing to, in Mahoning
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: and Trumbull counties, give you a small percentage of what
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: they took from you back with a huge increase. And
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: you've got a Vindicator editorial basically saying, well, you can't
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: cut property taxes. Forget all the money the state has.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Forget the $ 45 billion, I guess, that we have. I've
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: got to clarify that.
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: Well, the Rainy Day Fund is $ 4 billion.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so forget all the money that the state takes.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: $ 90 billion to budgets per year. 45 of which goes
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: just to Medicaid, just to Medicaid. And we're seeing all
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: the fraud that is taking place in Medicaid. So if
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: we stop the fraud that DeWine is just dragging his
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: feet on, that we can say, where was our attorney general?
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Where were the people that should be paying attention to this?
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Our auditor, the attorney general, why weren't they paying attention
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: to what was going on? Why wasn't this investigated as
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: it wasn't in Minnesota? We're talking billions of dollars, billions
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: of dollars, billions of dollars that could have instead of
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: gone for Medicaid fraud, could have gone to our schools.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Could have eased the burden on property taxes. Is there
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: anything in the Vindicator editorial about that? I'm just reminding
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: you as she reads this.
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: Here's what I don't like. The paragraph that says, that's
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: why the organized opposition to the tax movement must grow
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: and strengthen organizations, local governments, and school districts in the
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: Mahoning Valley should consider formally supporting OPPS. And here's what
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: really makes me mad. Individuals should resist the very real
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: temptation to sign Axe Ohio Tax ballot access petitions.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Don't sign anything.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine telling people that?
• 26:25
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Don't sign a petition. Now listen to what they're saying.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Do not sign a petition that says, let's put a
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: constitutional amendment in front of the public to vote for
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: or against. This is all about giving people a choice
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: to vote for it or against it. They're suggesting you
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: shouldn't even sign for it. You shouldn't even give people
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the option. We should continue to let people be ignored
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: by their county commissioners in our community here. that had
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: a huge increase that won't give you a portion of that,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: of your money back. They don't give a damn what
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: burden they, they lip the services. Oh, it's tough. They
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: lip and tell you that they give a damn, but
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the talk is cheap. Deeds are precious. They don't make
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: any cuts to give you your money back. When they,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: when they're given that ability, you're getting reevaluated again, as
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: we speak. So your property taxes will go up again
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: on your inside millage. And it will go up whatever
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the rate of inflation is, but they will go up
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: again on top of what you're already paying. It will
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: never be enough. And by God, you shouldn't sign a
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: petition to do away with property taxes. You should sit
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: there and take it and let them price your ass
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: out of your own home. Let you get old and retire,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: but not able to afford in your own home. This
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: is what this is saying. This is what they're doing.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: And by God, Dave Thomas, and I'll sit here till
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: my time is done here, and I'll be bitching about this.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: And those of you that disagree with me, You will
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: come to my understanding. on how you've been betrayed by
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: these local politicians, you will come to my understanding when
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: you will see how it is screwing your adult children
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: and your young children who will be adults, making it
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: difficult for them to purchase a home because of the
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: burden of property taxes and making it difficult for you
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: and your family members to stay in their home as
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: they retire. We've never seen this before in this country.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: And by God, that's what the battle is all about.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: And this paper is.
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: Basically saying this is all going to the children, all
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: these property taxes for schools, but they're not. The money
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: is going to pay the cumulative interest that has been
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: compounding because the school districts have not paid off the
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: principal of any of the bonds for dozens of years.
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: That's what's going on. That's illegal.
• 28:56
  Speaker 9: What do we got?
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: A $ 15 million sports complex that we build in Austintown?
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is where we're going with your tax
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: dollars for sports? A fitness center? I mean, we're not
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: talking about education here. This is ridiculous. No. As though
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: there certainly can't be any waste in the school system.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Well, wait a minute.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: We're not having as many kids. Enrollment in school systems
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: is down. God forbid if we do any consolidation or say, well,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: wait a minute. We don't have the amount of kids
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: that we've had. We've got to make cuts because we
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: have less students. Oh, excuse me, as they say in Youngstown,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: less scholars. So we have less of them. So shouldn't
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the expenses be coming down?
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: Well, you can't because you're only paying on interest. It's compounding,
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: and they're not paying off the principal of any of
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: these bonds across the country.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: This is insanity.
• 29:53
  Speaker 9: According to Mitch Bexler, yeah.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: But that's why I sit here and say– Listen, once again,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I'm saying to all of you, I wish you nothing
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: but the very best, each and every one of you.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: But by God, I sit here and I want you
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: to understand something. If you don't understand this issue, you will.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: You will come to understand it when your children that
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: are adults have a difficult time buying a home because
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: of how much their property taxes will be in addition
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: to the payment, making it more difficult to buy a
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: home and achieve the American dream, if you will. And
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: for you as you get older or your parents that
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: are older to be able to stay in their home
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: because they've been taxed out of it. We've never had
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: this in this country before. And by God, you better
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: stand up and fight it where we are right here
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: and right now. This is utter bull crap. So it's
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: got to be thought through, and we've got to make
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: some changes here. Government can't take care of everybody's problems.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: There has to be personal responsibility. I was just reading here.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: This was sent to me. I'm going to get into
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: this later because I ain't got a lot of time.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I'll get into that tomorrow. I got something for you
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: tomorrow I want you to hear. Call in tomorrow and
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you about it.
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, this paper is nothing but a socialist paper, okay?
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that.
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: Just like CNN and MSNBC.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Well, that's their opinion, and I gave you my opinion
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: about their opinion. And, you know, hey, guess what? You
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: keep doing what you're doing. God bless you and all
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: your helpers. And folks, I'm telling you right now, you'll
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: all come around to understanding what I'm saying to you.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Even if you disagree with me now, you will come
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: around to it. I cannot tell you the emails I
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: get from people that used to think I was full
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: of crap and nonsense. But then when their house is
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: paid off and all of a sudden they now understand
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: what their property taxes are because it was in their
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: payment and they put it in escrow. Then I get
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: the emails. Hey, I never knew that my property taxes
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: were this much per month. I get what you're saying now. Well,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: a little late. Pay attention. All right.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I got it.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: All right. It just, that's why I say to you guys,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: they won't be happy till they have all of your money.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm glad Christine Oliver won. Because her two
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: important points were, A, doubling the homestead exemption, income base
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: for our poorest seniors, and doubling the owner occupancy. Each
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: and every one of you, I don't care if you're
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: a Republican or Democrat, by God, you deserve it. You've
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: been abused long enough, and you deserve to keep some
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: of your money back from that huge increase. And these
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: politicians that say, we're not going to do it because
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: the state isn't going to reimburse us, you've still got
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: a giant increase, for God's sakes. And you'll still have
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: more money. You're still ahead of the game, even with
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: giving your constituents, if you give a damn about it,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: a small portion of their money back. For the love
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: of God, you're on the air.
• 33:10
  Speaker 12: Hi, Rod.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: I'm not worried.
• 33:15
  Speaker 10: I'm not concerned.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: This is..
• 33:19
  Speaker 13: I truly believe that it's more important.
• 33:22
  Speaker 14: That we worry about the war than we worry about
• 33:24
  Speaker 14: you paying for gas or you being uncomfortable. I think
• 33:28
  Speaker 14: that you guys are all overreacting. I really believe that
• 33:31
  Speaker 14: you're overreacting. You know that, right?
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, folks. Don't say another word.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Don't say another word. Listen to me. Just leave it
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: right there for now, okay? Seriously.
• 33:47
  Speaker 15: Are you going to hang up on me?
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, Mike. J.J. the liberal. Doing his best
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: to do his Trump impression. Leave it right there. A
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: great Trump impression that I just heard at 3 o'clock.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: J.J.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: The liberal. You're on the air.
• 34:10
  Speaker 10: Okay, let me respond to J.J., saying that the markets
• 34:17
  Speaker 10: are overreacting.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: No, no, he was being sarcastic.
• 34:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 34:22
  Speaker 10: Well, George Soros once said, forget the efficient markets hypothesis.
• 34:28
  Speaker 10: He said, that's a bunch of nonsense. He said, first
• 34:32
  Speaker 10: the markets underreact to news, then they overreact later.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Care what Soros says. Or these people are saying, I'm saying,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: did you hear it at 3 o'clock? Did you hear
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: the president's comments at 3 o'clock when he said in
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: my newscast here, on top of the hour, he said
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: when they announced inflation was over 3% and gas prices
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: and the effect it was having on consumers, and he said,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not even focused on that. All I'm thinking about
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: is Iran and a nuclear weapon. I'm not even remotely
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: focused on that. Like, he didn't even give a damn
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 35:10
  Speaker 10: No, I didn't hear that until I tuned into your show,
• 35:14
  Speaker 10: because I've been busy analyzing Chinese stocks since Friday.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about China. I'm sick of
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: you and the Chinese stocks.
• 35:26
  Speaker 10: Wait, wait, run.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:28
  Speaker 10: I think you may have made a mistake. Did Trump say...
• 35:32
  Speaker 10: that inflation hit 3% because I'm reading front page financial
• 35:38
  Speaker 10: news and it is saying that NASDAQ down sharply in
• 35:44
  Speaker 10: final hour after inflation hits 3-year high, not 3%.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the inflation's at 3%, and it is a
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: 3-year high, whatever it was, 3% or something. Traders believe
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: inflation could near 5% this year. Now, it's Now, it's
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: over 3% currently, and it's at a high over the
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: highest it's been like in three years, they were saying
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: on that newscast. They asked Trump what he thought about it,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: and Trump's comments were, I'm not even focused about it.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not even thinking about it. All I'm thinking about
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: is Iran and a nuclear weapon. And I sat here,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: and I said, I can't even believe he would say
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: something like that. Stand by. Fort Lauderdale, Frank's on the line.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Get back to him. And more of your calls, 330-729-9977.
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: Radio 570, WKBN.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: And Ron Furbar, go ahead, Frank.
• 36:45
  Speaker 10: Okay. I interrupted my day to call because that one
• 36:51
  Speaker 10: caller made a very good point. The oil companies will
• 36:55
  Speaker 10: probably have record-breaking profits. Now, I own oil, natural gas,
• 37:00
  Speaker 10: and clean energy companies, and Warren Buffett owns oil companies.
• 37:06
  Speaker 10: He owns $ 30 billion in one oil company alone run,
• 37:12
  Speaker 10: and oil has gone from $ 90 a barrel to $ 102. 50
• 37:14
  Speaker 10: a barrel today in only one week. And that's a
• 37:18
  Speaker 10: big price increase. Now, what will happen... when every country
• 37:29
  Speaker 10: depletes their strategic petroleum reserves. That's what is keeping oil
• 37:36
  Speaker 10: prices a lot lower than they would be if all
• 37:39
  Speaker 10: that oil was not made available for the market.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: All right, sit tight for me. Just sit tight for me.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: All right, and you as well. Back in a minute.
• 37:57
  Speaker 16: From ABC News, I'm Michelle Franzen. President Trump traveling to
• 38:01
  Speaker 16: China today telling reporters he's focused on discussing trade deals
• 38:06
  Speaker 16: with China's leader as well as a ceasefire deal with Iran.
• 38:09
  Speaker 16: Talks remain stalled on ending the war. The president brushing
• 38:12
  Speaker 16: off economic pressures in the latest Consumer Price Index showing
• 38:16
  Speaker 16: inflation has soared to a three-year high. calling those higher

  Speaker 16: costs on goods and gas temporary for Americans. Here's ABC's
• 38:23
  Speaker 16: Elizabeth Schulze.
• 38:23
  Speaker 17: The trend is going really in the wrong direction here.
• 38:26
  Speaker 17: Across the board, when you look at prices, those higher
• 38:28
  Speaker 17: fuel costs are translating to higher prices for public transportation,
• 38:33
  Speaker 17: for airfare. If you look at the airfare index, it's
• 38:35
  Speaker 17: up about 21% now. in April compared to a year before.
• 38:39
  Speaker 17: That's why we've seen those ticket prices going up so
• 38:41
  Speaker 17: much because of jet fuel costs.
• 38:42
  Speaker 16: The Federal Reserve Bank of New York releasing its data
• 38:45
  Speaker 16: report showing household debt for Americans reaching an all-time high,
• 38:50

• 39:04
  Speaker 16: the majority are asymptomatic. Passenger Jake Rosemarin says he'll stay
• 39:09
  Speaker 16: in Omaha for the full incubation period.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: My plan right now is to stay for the full
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: 42 days.
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: I think that is the best decision that's for me
• 39:19
  Speaker 7: and for my family, and I know that here I'm in.
• 39:22
  Speaker 13: The best care possible.
• 39:23
  Speaker 16: A federal appeals court in New York agreed to pause
• 39:25
  Speaker 16: a ruling against President Trump in the E. Jean Carroll
• 39:28
  Speaker 16: case so he can try to take his case to
• 39:30
  Speaker 16: the U.S. Supreme Court. The appeals court stated its rejection
• 39:33
  Speaker 16: of Trump's attempt to relitigate his claims in the case
• 39:35
  Speaker 16: where Trump was found liable for defaming and sexually abusing Carroll.
• 39:41
  Speaker 16: The Senate has confirmed Kevin Warsh to serve as a

• 39:47
  Speaker 16: on his nomination to become the next Fed chair is
• 39:50
  Speaker 16: expected later this week. You're listening to ABC News.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: 406 in the afternoon, 68 degrees, May 12th. All right, Frank,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: so what's your point on it? You were talking about
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: inflation being high. Pick up that thought.
• 40:20
  Speaker 10: Well, I think it's a lot higher than 3%. But
• 40:23
  Speaker 10: here's more headline financial news. Why the oil crisis could
• 40:30
  Speaker 10: become a full-blown global catastrophe. within only a month. Now,
• 40:37
  Speaker 10: I also read an economist that said the good job
• 40:41
  Speaker 10: employment numbers that drove the market higher the other day
• 40:45
  Speaker 10: is bogus. He said that the increase in jobs is
• 40:49
  Speaker 10: not as good as the government claims. And also, I
• 40:54
  Speaker 10: believe if an unemployed person has not found a job
• 40:58
  Speaker 10: in six months, he or she is no longer considered unemployed.
• 41:04
  Speaker 10: You know how the government likes to..
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Most of the government numbers are cooked, and they have been.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: It's like the person disappears. The inflation numbers aren't accurate.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: I don't care if it's Republicans or Democrats. They're usually low,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: not true inflation. And the unemployment numbers are also off.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I give you the following headlines from my CNBC ticker.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Markets raise chances for a Fed rate hike, not cut, hike,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: following hot inflation reports. Traders believe inflation could near 5%
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: this year. It's not just Iran and oil, but inflation.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Prices also are re-accelerating in these other areas. And I mean,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: as I say, the market's down today except the Dow Jones.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: But the reality is Trump's quote is very disturbing to me.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not. I heard it when they asked
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: the questions. You know, there he is. It wasn't AI generated.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: I'm focused on Iran and the nuclear weapon. I'm not
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: focused on the inflation report and basically the economy. Well,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: all I'm saying is, as I sat here, well, you
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: better be focused on it. That should be your sole focus.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: You are hurting the American people. You can't blame this
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: on Biden. You can't blame it on anybody. This is
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: yours to own, however this comes out. You own it.
• 42:38
  Speaker 10: Well, you know, Ron, I want to say to the
• 42:41
  Speaker 10: people that are pro-war, for example, G2 and others have
• 42:47
  Speaker 10: said a great benefit of the Iran war is the
• 42:50
  Speaker 10: end of OPEC oil monopoly. But you know, Ron, OPEC
• 42:54
  Speaker 10: was never an oil monopoly.
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: Yes, it was.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: That's nonsense.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: You know as well as I do. See, you're not
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: the only old fart around here. I remember all of
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: this stuff, too. Henry Kissinger formed OPEC, and I'll never
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: forgive him for that. And OPEC is nothing short of collusion.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: which is illegal in the United States. They collude together
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: as oil-producing countries on how much they'll produce and how
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: much they'll put on the market to manipulate prices. I
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: don't understand why that's OK to do it with OPEC
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: and why Kissinger and everybody was saying this is illegal
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: in the United States. If all the steel companies got together,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: car companies and colluded, it would be illegal. But somehow
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: it was OK for this to happen with the oil countries.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: And you got a nick in the armor with with
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: the UAE and some of these countries that are saying
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: we're not following this anymore. I would love to see
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: OPEC disintegrate. I have zero respect for it at all.
• 43:51
  Speaker 10: Well, that's another debate, but let me say, how about today?
• 43:56
  Speaker 10: How can you have a global oil monopoly when the
• 44:00
  Speaker 10: largest temporary producer of oil, the United States, is not
• 44:04
  Speaker 10: part of your monopoly?
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: Well, right, but it's still, I'm just giving you the
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: reality that is a monopoly there in the Middle East.
• 44:17
  Speaker 10: Now, let me make another point about it.
• 44:19
  Speaker 9: Well, you're trying to get on.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: My nerves with all these points because I've got to
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: take some other calls. That's it for today. All right.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Fort Lauderdale, Frank, you're on the air.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: Hey. Hi, Ron.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: Well, let's get some insight from the guru of Gerard.
• 44:36
  Speaker 9: Well, you know, him saying this, He's saying it's going
• 44:44
  Speaker 9: to come down. It's going to come down. It's kind
• 44:47
  Speaker 9: of like the word, like this inflation is transitory.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 44:55
  Speaker 9: Just said in Trumpese.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what Biden, remember what Biden and his, and his, uh,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: the fed chair said that what the hell was her name? I,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: she said that old Janet Yellen, that old battle X. Oh,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: this is inflation. It's just transitory. Absolute, totally false. It
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: went on for years. What a crock of crap.
• 45:16
  Speaker 9: I feel like there's no difference. That's what I'm saying there. Again,
• 45:20
  Speaker 9: it keeps reminding me this whole thing is everybody running
• 45:23
  Speaker 9: around stacking the chairs on the Titanic. It'll be the
• 45:28
  Speaker 9: last chair that goes down. It's got systematic problems.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Well, all I'm trying to do is listen. I'm not
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: a cheerleader, as I say, and I know you're not.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to say Trump can do no wrong
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: and Democrats can do no right. I just don't partake
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: in that. Then it becomes ridiculous. I voted for Trump.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: I would vote for him over any Democrat. I won't
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: vote for Sherrod Brown. I'll vote for the Republicans. Make
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: no mistake about it. But I can sit here and say,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: what's happening economically right now, Trump, you own it. Your decisions...
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: I can't even imagine where the economy would have been
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: if we never started this deal in Iran. I mean,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: we were at, what, $ 2. 50 a gallon. Inflation was going down.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Everything was going in the right direction. Everything. And I
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: wonder where our economy would be right now if he
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: never screwed with this situation in Iran. And now to
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: see what's happening, I ask this of you. put that
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: statement out of that comment out at three o'clock like
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: i'm solely focused on on this will you better be
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: focused on what's affecting your americans and why they gave
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: the last administration boot your thoughts i'll sit.
• 46:46
  Speaker 9: Back well okay i agree with most which is that
• 46:50
  Speaker 9: the one thing we said i'd never vote for a
• 46:52
  Speaker 9: democratic which you start to say at least added i'd
• 46:55
  Speaker 9: never vote for a democratic no currently no it because
• 47:01
  Speaker 9: As you see, I think Republicans and Democrats, they both
• 47:03
  Speaker 9: got problems.
• 47:04
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 47:05
  Speaker 9: If somebody comes along, I don't care what.
• 47:06
  Speaker 6: Party they're from.
• 47:08
  Speaker 9: I'm also really worried. Artificial intelligence is unbelievable, Rod. And
• 47:18
  Speaker 9: it's just being introduced. And I think right now there's
• 47:26
  Speaker 9: a window of opportunity where it's learning from us, so
• 47:29
  Speaker 9: it cares what we have to say. And it gives
• 47:32
  Speaker 9: it to us for free. But the minute that it
• 47:35
  Speaker 9: learns enough and we no longer offer anything interesting, anything
• 47:38
  Speaker 9: we want from it, we will have to pay dearly for.
• 47:42
  Speaker 9: That will mean that certain people will have it and
• 47:45
  Speaker 9: certain will not. And I think that's going to be
• 47:48
  Speaker 9: a big problem. That's one thing I got on my mind.
• 47:52
  Speaker 9: And the second is..
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you. You're a computer guy. I mean,
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: do you buy it that they're saying within the next
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: three years you could eliminate 50% of white-collar jobs that
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: we're not talking?
• 48:03
  Speaker 9: Well, let me explain. Let me explain something. So for
• 48:06
  Speaker 9: a very short period of time, Ron, we have this
• 48:10
  Speaker 9: free technology because the tradeoff is their learning course. I
• 48:15
  Speaker 9: was displaced by AI. I mean, you know, I'm a contractor.
• 48:19
  Speaker 9: I come and I go, and the cycle went where
• 48:22
  Speaker 9: I was leaving, and AI was coming in, and I
• 48:25
  Speaker 9: started to realize... Yeah, I don't even think my job
• 48:27
  Speaker 9: exists anymore.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: All right, Ken, now I'm going to ask you some
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: personal questions, and you can answer or not answer. You
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: have the right to remain silent. You wouldn't mind putting
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: your hand on a Bible, I can swear you in. But,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: just kidding, okay. I'll have a brown cup instead. Right, okay,
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: here's my questions for you.
• 48:45
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: All right, and I'm not looking for specifics. But would
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: it be fair to say, and just answer my questions, please,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: that I ask you. Would it be fair to say
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: that you made a substantial income with the knowledge that
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: you had in the computer business?
• 49:00
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Would it be fair to say that as a result
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: of AI, the work that you did that made you
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: a good living... has been eliminated by technology.
• 49:18
  Speaker 9: Not completely.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: What percentage would you say of the work that you
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: do that you made a good living at has been
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: eliminated by AI?
• 49:29
  Speaker 9: So far I'm thinking maybe 20-25% and potentially 50% depending
• 49:37
  Speaker 9: on what you're doing. I mean, AI right now doesn't
• 49:40
  Speaker 9: come for free.
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: All right, but just answer my questions. I just want
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: to get this. So you're telling all of us, based.
• 49:44
  Speaker 9: Where you are today, that 25% of your work has
• 49:45
  Speaker 9: been eliminated by technology, by AI that's doing.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: The work that you used to do. And you're saying
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: that you believe– just answer my questions, please. Do you
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: feel that the other 25%, totaling 50%, will be eliminated
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: within the next three years?
• 50:14
  Speaker 9: Yes, but let me just say this. I'm doing more things.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: All right. I'm not asking you if you're expanding what
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: you're doing into other areas. I'm merely asking you if
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: what you've done and continue to do– that made you
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: a good living, that 50% of that is being eliminated
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: by AI technology. Would that be an accurate statement?
• 50:41
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: And then would this be an accurate statement, that you
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: have to change your direction into another area to go
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: to an area that has not yet been affected by AI?
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: Would you agree with that statement?
• 51:02
  Speaker 9: Potentially unless you're one of these people that learns how
• 51:05
  Speaker 9: to use AI.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: I'm merely asking you the question on you being able
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: to make a living.
• 51:12
  Speaker 9: If your job is information-related in any way, then I
• 51:16
  Speaker 9: think that it's going to be affected by it.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Do you believe that 50% of the white-collar jobs will
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: be affected and or eliminated within the next three years
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: based on AI? Yes or no?
• 51:32
  Speaker 9: There might be more. No, but maybe.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: Well, there's a solid answer.
• 51:38
  Speaker 9: I'm not sure how much hype there is yet.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: There's a solid answer. Yeah, but maybe. Okay, here's my
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: next one. Final question. No, because then it just takes
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: up too much time here. No, because it just does. So, well,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: it does. Stop your belly aching. I'm trying to get
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: to the bottom of it. Final question. Do you feel
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: that as AI is being portrayed right now, it's being undersold,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: not oversold, as far as its potential and what it
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: can do?
• 52:14
  Speaker 9: That's what I was telling you. I'm not sure. I
• 52:15
  Speaker 9: think it could be undersold, but it also might be,
• 52:19
  Speaker 9: you know, there might be limits that they're not talking
• 52:21
  Speaker 9: about yet.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, so some of these answers are iffy, yes or no,
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: because I would answer my own question. Yes, I think
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: it's undersold, not oversold. And I think it's far better.
• 52:33
  Speaker 9: Taxes and AI are to appreciate, at least I think.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm not sure if I'm done questioning you just yet. But,
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: you know, you squirmed because you said, well, yes, maybe,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, these are yes or no questions.
• 52:49
  Speaker 9: Because I don't know everything.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: It's just my opinion. Yeah, well, wait a second. What
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: do you mean you don't know everything? It's your business.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: It's how you make your living. You know a hell
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: of a lot.
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: You know a lot more than most.
• 53:03
  Speaker 9: Every three or four years, I have to retool because,
• 53:06
  Speaker 9: like I said, my job is I successfully deliver a system.
• 53:10
  Speaker 9: It's time to find a new contract. You're keeping up
• 53:13
  Speaker 9: your writing.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: Do you think your income can suffer substantially in the
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: years to come? Your phone's breaking up. I'm going to
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: ask that question again. Do you think your income can
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: change substantially lower than what you're used to based on technology?
• 53:40
  Speaker 9: I was thinking yes.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, you said yes because I believe it will.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: I believe it will, too. I believe that will happen
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 53:49
  Speaker 9: But I started learning AI and using it. And basically,
• 53:54
  Speaker 9: if you want to learn AI, you've got to find
• 53:56
  Speaker 9: a problem and use it, right?
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 53:57
  Speaker 9: What's the biggest problem you talk about all the time
• 54:00
  Speaker 9: is the size and duplicity of government, right, especially in
• 54:04
  Speaker 9: our area. And I started, actually, I said to AI, okay,
• 54:09
  Speaker 9: how would you potentially, if not regionalize the place, you know,
• 54:14
  Speaker 9: reduce duplicity? And it just started, I mean, it's amazing.
• 54:20
  Speaker 9: You should see the stuff that I'm doing, that eventually
• 54:23
  Speaker 9: if our data is all messed up, That's why they
• 54:27
  Speaker 9: do it this way. Someone does it this way. They
• 54:28
  Speaker 9: don't call the same thing. They name streets by nicknames
• 54:31
  Speaker 9: instead of how they're referenced in the real world. And
• 54:35
  Speaker 9: so if you go through and you use AI to
• 54:37
  Speaker 9: clean all that up, now we're like on par with anything.
• 54:41
  Speaker 9: You can make decisions. You can eliminate duplicity in services.
• 54:48
  Speaker 14: Ron, I made..
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you what I think the benefits of
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: AI will be, Mr. Computer Savvy. As you babble on
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: with that, that makes no sense. Here's the benefits of AI.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine what will happen in the medical field
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: that could be life-changing for everybody listening with procedures that
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: are yet to be perfected. Let's put it that way.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: I think in the medical field, and I think in the..
• 55:20
  Speaker 9: I can't go with that this morning, if you want
• 55:21
  Speaker 9: to know.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: All right, hang on, hang on. Back with him and
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: more in a minute.
• 55:25
  Speaker 5: Youngstown's news, weather, and talk station, 570 WKBN.
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: All right, pay attention.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: We're on News Radio 570 WKBN. I'm just saying that
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: the benefits that you'll see from AI, all the evil
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: that we talk about, there are benefits that will happen,
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: I believe, medically that can be life changers. And I
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: do mean life changers that will benefit many people as
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: far as diagnoses and procedures. And I also believe that
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: it would be an excellent way to stop all this
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: corruption if government embraces it, being able to check for
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: the fraud that's going on. Because AI will be able
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: to sort through dual addresses and be able to identify
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: the billions and stealing that's going on in the federal
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: government and state governments. But you said you had benefited medically.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Tell me on your lobotomy.
• 56:29
  Speaker 9: I mean, okay.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: Well, that helped too.
• 56:31
  Speaker 9: But the drug I was injected with was used AI
• 56:40
  Speaker 9: to examine the DNA of the tumor and that I had,
• 56:44
  Speaker 9: and it was designed to fight that type of tumor.
• 56:48
  Speaker 9: That's one use. I go for a scan all the time, right?
• 56:54
  Speaker 9: And I have my chart, and it comes before you
• 56:56
  Speaker 9: even go see your doctor. It comes to you now. So,
• 57:02
  Speaker 9: you know, because I generally, like, I drive up to Cleveland.
• 57:05
  Speaker 9: So anyway, I take the results from it, and I
• 57:10
  Speaker 9: threw it into Claude, and I said, what's up? Everything
• 57:14
  Speaker 9: that thing said was word for word what my doctor said,
• 57:17
  Speaker 9: and she's a very good doctor.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: Either that or she knows how to use AI, too. Right.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: She might not be that good a doctor, but she
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: understands technology.
• 57:28
  Speaker 9: Well, I think she is actually a good doctor, but still,
• 57:32
  Speaker 9: you said how, you know, I said I dealt with
• 57:34
  Speaker 9: that this morning, right? Like, I think the fact that
• 57:40
  Speaker 9: I'm still here is because of it. And a lot
• 57:44
  Speaker 9: of people, it's not just me. That's why I even
• 57:46
  Speaker 9: asked her today. I was like, so what's the results
• 57:49
  Speaker 9: of this drug? You know, she said, you're experiencing what
• 57:54
  Speaker 9: we expect. Right.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: But I mean, there's the bad side and the good
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: side of AI, and there will be good things that
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: will benefit people. And the future, I would like to think,
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: is tomorrow is always better than today. So there will
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: be benefits from AI. There's a fear factor of AI
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: and what it could do job-wise. But we shall see.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: These changes are coming very, very, very rapidly. What was it?
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: Facebook met a can 10,000 people replaced with AI. That's
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: just the beginning. So you're going to see a lot
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 58:28
  Speaker 18: And..
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: My question always is, we're a consumer economy. If we
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: have a lot of people losing jobs and they are
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: unable to find ones close to what they had or
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: economically what they've had, it hurts the consumer-driven economy. It
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: can hurt Social Security and what's being paid into it.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: There's some troubling issues, too. But that's all the time
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: I have for you today. This isn't AI. This is RV.
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: I've got to go. Okay? Thank you.
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: Aye, aye, aye.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: From the kingdom of Mahoney, Ron Furb, back after this.
• 59:02
  Speaker 6: How did he sell you?
• 59:03
  Speaker 5: News Radio 570. WKVD. WKVN.
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's like pulling teeth. with Michael, you know, the
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: guru of Gerard there. Just answer yes or no. I'll
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: tell you, you're on air.
• 59:18
  Speaker 13: Did he give you an AI, Captain?
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: Yes, he did.
• 59:22
  Speaker 13: Wow, that was pretty good. Hey, Ron, you know, we're
• 59:25
  Speaker 13: all in this together is pulling Amy Acton quote for
• 59:28
  Speaker 13: you there from 2020. So she.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: Quit. Don't forget.
• 59:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: She quit.
• 59:35
  Speaker 13: Yeah. We're going to be all in it together, too.
• 59:37
  Speaker 13: And you know what it's going to be. But, you know, inflation,
• 59:42
  Speaker 13: you're talking about that. And this is the system we're in.
• 59:46
  Speaker 13: I mean, I'm not going to be a cheerleader for Trump.
• 59:48
  Speaker 13: I would, just like you, have never voted for Kamala Harris,
• 59:51
  Speaker 13: Joe Biden, or any one of them.
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: And as critical as we can be of Trump doesn't
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: mean we'll vote for a Democrat or Sherrod Brown. We're
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: not idiots. But I hope you heard that quote at
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: 3 o'clock in the news. It was deeply troubling to me.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 9: It is.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 13: But I'll tell you, there is nothing that Donald Trump
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 13: can do or the next president or the many that
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 13: have come before him that are going to do anything
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 13: with the rate that we're going in right now. Don't forget,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 13: even if inflation is better, we're still planning. The system
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 13: is designed for you to lose 2% every single year. Now,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 13: what happens when you lose 2% every single year over
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 13: your lifespan, Ron? And, you know, everybody complains about, oh,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 13: the younger generation, they can't buy a house. They're not
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 13: the same as the older generation. They don't work as hard.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 13: You know, I keep hearing that. You talk about, you
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 13: said on the show today, you know, the old fart
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 13: and the old battle ax. And that's who I blame
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 13: for the issue and the problem that we're in right now.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 13: Look at what's been going on all these years. You know,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 13: everybody who's older complains, complains, complains. But look at the
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 13: system that you got to be in. All you had
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 13: to do was just own assets. Nobody my age has
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 13: a pension. Nobody knows what the heck that even is
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 13: under the age of 40 after people out there. All right.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 13: You had 10 people paying into Medicare for you to
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 13: get it.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 14: Now I've got two.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 13: You can't go buy a house. Everybody else has had
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 13: a house for all these years. You bought it for $ 30, 000,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 13: and now it's worth $ 450, 000. Do you know why people
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 13: aren't in the streets rioting because of inflation? Because some
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 13: people are benefiting from it. If you own property, if
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 13: you own homes, if you own stocks, you have watched
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 13: them go up because of inflation. Your house has not
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 13: produced you any income since you bought it in 1980.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 13: It has gone up in value because the dollar has
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 13: gone down in value. So we can say, you know, Trump,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 13: he could do a lot of different things. I don't
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 13: think the war is helping with gas prices, obviously. It
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 13: doesn't take a genius to know that. It doesn't take
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 13: a genius to know that gas prices going up makes
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 13: things cost more. But until we stop producing more money
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 13: and printing more money and have it designed to lose 2%
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 13: a year, this will never get fixed. It's the problem
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 13: that we're in. It's just at what rate is it going.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 13: And in the last six years, it's gone exponential. So, yes,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 13: there are presidents that could do a worse job than others.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 13: But it's always going to be like this, and it's
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 13: going to keep getting worse. And the problem is, again,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 13: there's a lot of people who complain about it, but
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 13: there's a heck of a lot of people who are
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 13: benefiting from it. It's just like the federal government. They
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 13: want inflation because it's just devaluing all the debt we have.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 13: They're inflating the debt away. You just keep printing into
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 13: oblivion so that your debt goes away. You know what
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 13: would happen right now if we actually went in the
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 13: opposite direction and we went into deflation? Our entire economy
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 13: would completely shut down. Inflation is there so that the
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 13: system keeps moving, so that you perpetually keep getting screwed.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 13: The only thing is, it's harder and harder for people
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 13: just starting in the system. You used to be able
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 13: to just work really hard, and I get it. You
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 13: can go out and be a plumber, too. But at
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 13: the end of the day, you can't be a plumber
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 13: and have five kids like you used to have back
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 13: in the day. Because if you have five kids now,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 13: you're either a professional athlete or you're on the dole.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 13: And I mean... There's so many issues and problems, and
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 13: you guys just hit the nail on the head, too,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 13: with AI, and that's going to change things moving forward.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 13: But until we get some accountability, look at the fraud
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 13: that just came out in Ohio with Medicaid. Two places
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 13: in one zip code around Columbus that are four miles
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 13: apart had, like, 40% of all of Medicaid spending. Are you, like,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 13: blows my mind. I want somebody to have the thing
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 13: I keep coming back to is consequences for something or anything.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 13: Until somebody on the state level or the federal level
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 13: spends their entire life behind prison bars, nothing will get fixed.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 13: Because the system is designed, just like Elon Musk tried
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 13: to get all the fraud, the system is designed for
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 13: the fraud to be there. I heard the other day
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 13: that if we even knew how to cancel all the
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 13: fraud and stop it tomorrow, we couldn't because it would
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 13: actually crater the economy. Because part of our economy in
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 13: this country is actually fraud. That's what keeps things moving.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 13: It's that bad. And so when you get into a
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 13: system like that, how do you stop it?
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 6: I have no idea.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you how you stop it.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: I think AI can stop it because it can double
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: check on addresses and duplication and can sniff this stuff
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: out much more efficiently. Let me back up for a minute.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: You know what I've said in the past about Elon Musk.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk was doing a great job with Doge. It
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: no longer exists because the Democrats destroyed Elon Musk. The
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: Democrats support Doge. They supported it because they attacked him
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: as Hitler. They attacked him, his dealerships. They supported violence
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: against his dealerships, the firebombs. And this is the Democrats,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: the firebombing of his dealerships, the scratching of the consumers' cars.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: They supported all of the crap to drive Elon Musk crazy.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: his stock going down out of his job in Washington
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: to fix this fraud. They supported all of it, and
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: they were successful. Would you agree with that?
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: They were.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 13: They were 100% successful.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: Because he left.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: They called Trump.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 13: Hitler because he was Hitler. They didn't want people to kill.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: Him because he was Hitler.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 13: They wanted to call him Hitler so that they could
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 13: have an excuse to kill him.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: But they got rid of Elon Musk, and Doge came
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: to a screeching halt. And remember early on when they
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: were saying there could be $ 2 trillion... a year in America.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: And they derailed it all to say, okay, so let's see.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: Your tax dollars would go to these non-government agencies that
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: were headed by a bunch of political cronies that would
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: pay themselves huge salaries and hire staff and everybody got
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: paid well. They would take some of their money and
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: contribute it back to the Democrat Party. And then they
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: would take some of it and look at some... transgender
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: thing in vietnam or some nonsense like that so he
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: was exposing all of this and he had to be
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: stopped by the democrats because it stops the money from
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: going back to keep him in power it continues to
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: screw the taxpayer they destroyed the guy by destroying his
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: dealerships so they got rid of him so now we
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: take a look at minnesota and tampon tim and it
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: looks like the feds are cracking down on this stuff
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: they're going in and dealing with it people are getting
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: arrested trial's got to take place. But I can also say,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: forget Tampon Tim, look at DeWine and how he's looking
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: the other way. I'm with you. Why isn't our auditor,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: why hasn't he been on top of the fraud, the
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: billions that have been wasted in Ohio? Where is our
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: Attorney General? as far as the billions that have been
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: wasted in Ohio. Where was the double checking on all
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: of this? We have the same incompetence, whether they're Republicans
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota or Democrats in Minnesota, Republicans here, the same
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: damn incompetence going on here. So when that guy calls
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: and says, look at the billions being wasted, $ 45 billion
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: a year in what, Medicaid in Ohio? So we got
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: half of our budget going out in Medicaid. Look at
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: all the fraud. And remember the caller that said, well,
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: that fraud could have been used to support our schools
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: and lower our property taxes. Well, he's damn right. But
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: the people that could do anything about it weren't paying attention.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: And thank God for Nick Shirley and the Nick Shirley
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: people that are trying to solve this and bring it
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: to everybody's attention and fix this damn problem.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 13: It's either fraud or incompetence, and either one is not acceptable.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 13: I don't know if the Republicans are in control of
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 13: the Ohio Congress and Senate. Bring articles of impeachment against DeWine.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 13: You want to show that you're not partisan? If he's
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 13: not doing his job, or those he's appointing aren't doing
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 13: their job, somebody needs to pay the consequences for it.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 13: Because what's the average IQ of a Somali refugee in Ohio?
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 13: I don't think it's very high. They're not doing this
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 13: on their own, okay? You don't come over to a
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 13: foreign nation and scam the country out of billions of
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 13: dollars doing it on your own. So somebody else is
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 13: doing this and helping them do it. Find out who
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 13: it is. I don't think, and you hit the nail
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 13: on the head, too, AI might help find some of
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 13: this fraud, but AI also might help hide a lot
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 13: more of it, too, because it's only as good as
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 13: the person whose hand it's in.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean, okay, so I back up with you.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: Where were the inspectors to go out to these addresses
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: that didn't have, in Minnesota, Ohio, whatever, this hospice that
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: didn't have any patients and was getting all this money,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: or the leering centers, or the transportation centers? or the
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: screwing of Medicaid in Ohio. And that includes, incidentally, all
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: these drug rehab places that get your money as well.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: Where is the feet on the ground inspection to look at?
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: Does this place exist? Are there patients to actually go
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: out and see where all this money is going? Where's
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: the double checking? Where is our Secretary of State? Where
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: is the Attorney General? Where is the Governor?
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 13: Well, when the state screws up with all of this, okay,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 13: the state can't print its own money. So they've got
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 13: to get the money from somewhere. So that's what they're
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 13: going to do in raising your taxes. So you're just
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 13: going to keep working harder and giving more to fraud.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 13: I love when I go to work for eight hours
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 13: a day, and the first two hours of my day
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 13: are to pay for Somali refugees scamming people out that
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 13: actually need the money. Or it's just my money. I
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 13: trade my time for money. That's what I do at work.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 13: I don't volunteer.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: That Somali refugee who's come here. and steals millions of
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: dollars more than you'll make in a lifetime.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 13: Well, don't cut me short there, Ron.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: It's true, though. They'll steal more than you'll make. I mean,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. They're sending a million dollars back to their
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: country in a suitcase every damn day.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 13: So, see, this is why, again, this bill going through
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 13: the Senate right now, and you might be hearing it.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 13: I don't know if you watched. Who's the one that Denny...
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 13: is obsessed with on Sundays.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, my. Isn't it interesting? Maria Bartoloma.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 14: Maria Bartoloma.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 13: She had on Bernie Moreno Sunday morning. You should go
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 13: back and watch it because he's the biggest proponent of
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 13: the Clarity Act. So what it's going to do is
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 13: if this goes through, it's going to help way more
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 13: with waste, fraud, abuse than anything else because it will
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 13: put the U.S. dollar on a blockchain, which is fully
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 13: audible and transparent. They're trying to push this through even
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 13: further now because Iran, they're trying to get rid of
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 13: and go around a lot of sanctions evasion through stable coins.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 13: So once this goes through, we'll be able to actually,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 13: you know, crack the whip a little bit more even
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 13: with the U.S.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: Dollar.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 13: But that's what you need more than anything is transparency,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 13: because I can't go out myself after I get home
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 13: from work and go find Somalian Medicaid fraud in Columbus
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 13: in a four-story building somewhere. But I sure can get
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 13: on the internet and do an audit on a blockchain
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 13: just like anybody else can at any point in time.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 13: So when a lot of people could do it, it
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 13: cuts back on the people that even say, hmm, can
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 13: I even get away with this? When you can't even
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 13: get away with it, it makes the fraud harder. So yeah,
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 13: there's so many layers to the onion right now, it's
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 13: hard for people to get through. So when you talk
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 13: about somebody going and knocking on the door at the
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 13: Medicaid office, you think the government employee who's going to
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 13: go and rile up feathers and say, I'm going to
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 13: get rid of my pension so that I can bring
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 13: something to light and probably get fired for it?
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't think so.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: All right, let me ask you this, Einstein, okay?
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 3: Are you ready?
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: Uh-huh.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: So you heard Trump's comments, or what I paraphrased, where
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: he said at 3 o'clock, Listen, I'm solely focused on
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: Iran if they've got a nuclear weapon. I'm not thinking
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: about inflation and gas prices. So that's got to have
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: a big effect on people when they hear that because
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: they're saying, well, you might not be focused on it,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: but we sure as hell are focused on it and
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: what it's doing to us economically as individuals. And that's
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: why we elected you. So I want you to keep
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: that in mind because I want your reaction to it
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: in addition to these headlines. From CNBC, it's not just
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: Iran and oil, but inflation going up. Prices also are
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: re-accelerating in these other areas. With inflation, they say it's 3%
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: or higher today. So we have inflation going back up.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: We have oil going up. We have gas prices up.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: And we have this situation in Iran. Traders believe, these
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: are headlines, inflation could near 5% this year. Markets raise
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: chances for a Fed rate up. hike following hot inflation report.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: Not a cut, a hike. What's your thoughts about all that?
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 13: Well, the new Federal Reserve Chairman, I think it's today
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 13: or tomorrow, if he raises interest rates, you will see
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 13: Trump absolutely lose his complete mind. That's number one. But
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 13: when interest rates keep going up, that's just like, you know, Ron,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 13: if I lend you $ 100, that's what our debt is.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 13: We lend it out. If I lend you $ 100... And
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 13: I say, you've got to pay me back at 4.5%. Okay. Well,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 13: if I don't think you're going to pay me back,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 13: I need to make that interest rate go up. And
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 13: that's what's going on with our interest rate. People don't
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 13: think we're going to be able to pay the money back.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 13: And if we do pay the money back, it's going
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 13: to be with deflated dollars. So when you talk about
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 13: interest rates, too, and I mentioned about trufflation, it takes
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 13: a way bigger basket of goods, services, more than the
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 13: things they cherry pick right now. But it just depends
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 13: on what you're looking at. It could be way more
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 13: than 3%. If you look at what potatoes have done
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 13: recently with the price of potatoes and the amount of
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 13: inflation that's gone on, it's all individual. So when you
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 13: put them in a basket, you can manipulate the numbers
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 13: each way, any way you want to. So that's not
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 13: going to go well, number one. And who knows what
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 13: the market's going to do from day to day. If
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 13: Trump decides something tonight on Air Force One to tweet out,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 13: it could totally change the whole entire aspect. You think
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 13: he really wanted to go in and bomb Iran right
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 13: before he's going to see Xi Jinping in China? I
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 13: wouldn't be surprised if after wheels go up after he leaves,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 13: we start a whole new round over there.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but will that be successful? We did the bunker buster.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: We bombed the living hell out of them. And they're
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: not agreeing to a lot of things.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 13: You mentioned, too, you know, And I said this, too.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 13: I have never gone to bed at night saying, man,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 13: I really I really fear tonight Iran's going to hit
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 13: me with a nuclear bomb. But I also don't go
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 13: to bed at night fearing, man, I think I'm going
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 13: to have a heart attack soon. You know, I should
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 13: not because I'm well, you shouldn't. I shouldn't worry about it.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 13: Maybe I should start eating better now so that I
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 13: don't have that heart attack in the future. Just like
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 13: right now, maybe we should deal with this right now
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 13: so that we don't have to deal with it in
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 13: the future.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to tell you again.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 13: It's the same thing.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: I'm going to tell everybody again, just like the guy
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: who came up my driveway who said, I heard it
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: on the radio. As I say to you, sitting in
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: my pocket right here, I say this to all of you,
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: all of you listen to me. My wife makes me
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: carry this little bottle of baby aspirin. In my pocket,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: I got it in a car. We got them all
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: over the place. Because if you start having chest pains,
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: the first thing you should do is take four of
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: these chewable baby aspirin, chew them under your tongue. Don't
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: swallow them. Chew them under your tongue. Put them there.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: And it could very well save your life by the
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: time the ambulance gets there because they're going to do
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: that as well. It could save your life. And a
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: guy told me over the weekend, he listened, he did that,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: and it saved his life. So if you're worried about
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: a heart attack, I tell everybody the same thing. Y'all
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: better go get some baby aspirin. Have it close.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 13: Maybe you should get a life alert.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: Get out of here.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 5: The year news radio, five 70 WKBN.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: Four 56 news radio, five 70 Dodie KVN and Ron verb.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: That is, uh, that is the advice. I mean, it's, uh,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: so all of you remember that. I mean, it's, uh,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: it can be a game changer. when it comes to
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: your age. So as a matter of fact, she gets,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: she gets a packet of, it's a bear baby aspirin
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: chewable at Meijer, the grocery store. And they come in
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: a little, little bottle, easy to put in your pockets
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: or put in your car. You should have several of them,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: you know, where your bed is, where your car, you know,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: your car in your pocket and that kind of stuff
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: is if you have chest pains that can actually save
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: your life. And, uh, So, see, I think my wife
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: really cares about me because she makes me carry that stuff.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: And we don't have heart problems in our family, but
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: you never know. You never know when your time could come.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: And I've had several friends, and all of a sudden
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: they get chest pain. And if you chew those baby
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: aspirin under your tongue, boom, it can save your life
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: and buy you time until the ambulance gets there because
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: they'll do that when they get there too. And so
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: something to keep in mind, gang. That's what's– That's what
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: I do because of my bride. And like I said,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: a guy came up my driveway and said, hey, I
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: heard that. I did that. And he has had an
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: heart attack, and it saved his life. How about that?
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: Ron Verp from the kingdom of Mahoning, saving lives. I'm
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: just following directions from my bride. All right, so we'll
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: pause for the headlines at 5. I'll come back and
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: take more of your calls. Always glad you tuned in

• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: the world while we're on the planet together. All right,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: we pause for the headlines at 5. We come back,
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: take more of your calls. Then I get the shoe
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: and scoot at about 5.30 for the Guardians pregame. So
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: we'll make the best of the next half hour. If
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: you're on hold, your position's reserved, and you'll be in
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: rotation right after this quick news update from the Kingdom
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: of Mahoney. Ron Verb here.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 16: From ABC News, I'm Michelle Franzen. Top Pentagon officials back
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 16: on Capitol Hill today briefing lawmakers on the war in
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 16: Iran and ballooning tax.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 19: At a House hearing, the Pentagon's chief financial officer provided
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 19: an update to lawmakers on the growing cost of the war.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 19: Jules Hurst previously said it was running upwards of $ 25 billion.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 20: Now we think it's closer to $ 29 billion.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 13: That's because of updated repair and replacement of equipment costs.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 19: Importantly, Hearst says that estimate does not include the cost
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 19: of rebuilding bases damaged by Iranian missiles and attack drones.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 19: Stephen Portnoy, ABC News, Washington.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 16: Americans also feeling the pinch at every turn. Prices for
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 16: goods jumping 3.8% in April compared to a year ago.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 16: Here's ABC's Elizabeth Schulze.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 17: The concern here is that when you look at this
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 17: inflation data, now you have prices going up faster than
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 17: people's paychecks. So it becomes a lot harder to absorb
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 17: those higher prices if your salary is not also going up.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 17: That had not been the case for a couple years now.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 17: The fact that we're starting to see those prices outpace
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 17: take-home pay is really a red flag in the overall economy.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 16: President Trump on his way to Beijing, set to meet

  Speaker 8: He's a friend of mine.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 9: He's a wonderful man.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: And he's going to be off. And the assistant, the deputy, is.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 21: Taking over temporarily until we find him.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 3: Everybody wants that job.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 16: Eighteen passengers from the Dutch cruise ship hit with the

  Speaker 11: were brought here came on a special flight from Nebraska yesterday.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 11: They arrived around midday. We're told that it's a couple,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 11: and one of them is symptomatic and is being held
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 11: in a biocontainment unit. The other one is considered a

  Speaker 11: close contact but hasn't shown any kind of symptoms at all.

  Speaker 16: On Wall Street today, stocks ending mixed. You're listening to
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 16: ABC News.

  Speaker 1: Guardians have the pregame. You're on the air.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 9: Okay, I'm going to make it quick, Ron, okay?
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 14: Yes, go ahead.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 22: Now I know how come the boss loves you. Because
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 22: I was watching some of the tweets that Trump did,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 22: and he was really mad at Fox because they had
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 22: a Democrat on there, and he lost an $ 18 million
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 22: lawsuit against him. He's like, man, Fox is going to.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 22: But one thing about you, Ron, you allow Democrats to call.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 22: And you allow Democrats to say what they want to say.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 22: And for that, I love the way you stand your
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 22: ground because people get mad at you, right? But I
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 22: want you to know, I appreciate you.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 14: Taking my call.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: And one more quick thing.

• 1:21:09
  Speaker 13: The guy told me, he said, look here, man, why
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 13: should I keep paying you this when.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 22: I can voice track it and have somebody.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 14: Work from home?
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 22: You have to take this.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 9: I lost that job.
• 1:21:17

• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: the program. Yeah, I mean, he's a quality caller. And
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: then there's you.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I know, I know. You'd be able to filter
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 15: me out by now. Hey, but unlike, I mean, just
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 15: like Fort Lauderdale, Frank, I interrupted my day to call in, Ron, so..
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 9: Little respect, huh?
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry. You're right.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 3: I apologize.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 15: Hey, you said you heard, you know, Trump on the
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 15: news that he said about the inflation.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 9: He doesn't care.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 15: I mean, the guy's got a lot going on. And
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 15: he also said that it's just temporary. So you kind
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 15: of took that out of context.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, back up. No, back up. Say that again. You
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: thought I took Trump's quote out of context?
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 15: Yeah, because he said it's just temporary, you know.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 14: Until the war is over. He's worried about.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 15: Them having a bomb. And I think he's just worried
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 15: about getting this conflict over with right now. I think
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 15: he's trying to resolve it in some way.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: Right, but define temporary. Remember, that was the same stuff
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: we heard from Biden with its transitory. And it wasn't temporary.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: Let me say this to you. Like I said, under
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: no circumstances would I vote for a Democrat. I would
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: never vote for Sherrod Brown. So contrary to my criticism,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: I would support the Republicans. They're a far better choice.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: But the reality is you can't tell me that in
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: his own mind he didn't think this would be over
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: much sooner than it is. I'm sure he thought that
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: this would be over and not dragging on as long
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: as it is. And I am also concerned over the
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: constant rhetoric to say a deal's close, a deal's close,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: a deal's close. With all due respect, we've heard that
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: for weeks and weeks and weeks, and nothing has materialized.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: So now we're back to talking about doing some more bombing. Well, okay,
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: I just asked the question. If we bomb them some more,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: do you think the deal's going to get done then?
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: Because we bombed them a hell of a lot, and
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: they're not sitting there saying, oh, we're ready to make
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: a deal. Listen, I think Iran's in a tough position
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: with their economy and not money coming in and the oil.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: I think they're in a terrible position. But are they
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: willing to just wait it out? and let it ride
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: knowing that we don't live there. We'll have to leave.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: Do they have that resolve? I, I don't understand their culture.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: I can't think how I would think they think much
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: differently than I do. It's all different culture. But I
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: will say this. I will say this when they say
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: it's temporary. Well, hey, temporary doesn't ease the pain of
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: my wallet. Temporary doesn't ease $ 4. 70 gas, and it doesn't–
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not making this stuff up. I'm reading
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: it right here in front of me. Traders believe inflation
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: could near 5% this year. Markets raise chances for a
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: Fed rate hike following this hot inflation. It's not just oil,
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: but it's inflation everywhere else. Those are the headlines today.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: on CNBC, and then I scan down and I take
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: a look at, hey, how's your 401k doing today? S &
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: P down, NASDAQ down, Russell down, Dow is up. I mean,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: and define temporary. Is temporary six months from now? Is
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: it a year from now? I mean, what is temporary?
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: How long are you willing to say, I back up
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: and I just say, listen, I think Israel got us
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: into this mess. I genuinely do. I think they talked
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: him into it. And I don't think it's ending as
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: quick as he thought it would end. And I think
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: maybe they are thinking we got him where we want
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: him and we very well might. But maybe we've, who knows?
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: Who knows? But this can't go on for six months
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: or a year because who can afford it? both from
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: a country standpoint and an individual standpoint. Prior to him
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: doing this, I acknowledge I was not up at night
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: worried about Iran having a nuclear weapon or afraid to
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: go to sleep. That was not a major concern. And
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: I think many people are saying it now only because
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: the media has droned on it so much and is
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: almost doing a sales pitch in the Trump administration is
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: on why you should care about this. I think it
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: was of concern to Israel more than it is the
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: United States.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 15: Ronny, Ronny, I don't blame you for voting for Barack
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 15: Hussein Obama, who started all this stuff way back in
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 15: the day with the coal mines and all that. But
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 15: that was just a slight bump on you, Ronny. I'll
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 15: never vote for a Democrat. You voted for the worst one.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: You're right, because I can't stand Mitt Romney, but I
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: won't let him make that mistake again.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 15: Hey, but on the, like, I guess it was the
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 15: 5 o'clock headlines They said that some guy, he decided
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 15: to commit suicide by jumping in front of like an
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 15: Airbus 383 jet. I mean, if you're going to go out,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 15: I guess you've got to go pretty big, right?
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they say that the engine sucked him in. And
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: by sucking him in, it broke, actually harmed the engine.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: by breaking all the fan blades out of it because
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: of a suck in a minute.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 15: When people say that we've got to get rid of
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 15: guns because too many suicides, well, what's next? We're going
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 15: to get rid of airplanes and jets? You've got to
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 15: get rid of the crazy people.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if you're a trespasser trying
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: to commit suicide. They say suicide, but there's a much
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: easier way to go than that way. That would be
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: a horrible death.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 15: Unless you want to be on the news.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, it seemed to me you'd want to OD
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: if you want to commit suicide as opposed to saying, hey,
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get sucked in a jet engine. That's
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: got to hurt until it's all over. Like the one
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: guy that jumped off the freeway bridge thinking he'd end
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: his life and he jumped off the bridge and he
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: survived and he died when the truck ran him, an
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: 18-wheeler ran him over. Well, that had to hurt.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 9: Well, he fulfilled his mission, I guess.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's got to be a better way.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 15: Hey, you were talking about AI and, you know, all
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 15: AI eliminating jobs. And then I don't know if it
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 15: was Arnold the other night that said that, you know,
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 15: once all the high-paying jobs are out of the way
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 15: and you're a plumber, you're not going to get a job. Well,
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 15: I was thinking about that, and I think the only
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 15: real job that you have job security in, is being
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 15: a medical professional, a nurse, a doctor. because people are
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 15: going to need them. And I think they'll always be employed.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 15: I think that more petitioners, I think they're going out
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 15: of business because people are just getting burnt now.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: Right, it's changed it. Funerals have gotten so expensive, a
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: lot of people just go with cremation because they can't
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: afford a funeral.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: Let's just say economics. People have to adjust to things
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: because things become so costly.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 6: But don't worry.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: Whatever they do for you, I'll say a few kind words.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I would hope so, Ronnie.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: And guess what? Whatever they do, when it's your time,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: I'll say, the unknown caller was a great contributor and
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: a great man, but... As I look at your urn,
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: I'll say, but he has to go.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 15: But at least you could say I was AI, all right?
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 15: Almost intelligent. Okay, just put those words in there, Ronnie.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: You got it. You got it.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: All right, I got to go.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: He's always got to go. I don't know why he's
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: in such a hurry. You're on the air.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 14: Ronald.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: Ted the Conservative.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 14: Boy, oh boy. I try to live life and get
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 14: away from calling this program, and you just keep sucking
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 14: me back in.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: I tell you, that's what it's all about. How's the leg, Ted?
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 14: Okay, the leg's good. Got some grass cut today.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 14: I'm listening to the Ron Verb show.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 14: I'm getting irritated. I'm like, just ignore it and go
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 14: about it.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: What seems to be bothering you? Speak your piece, please.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 14: Was that the unknown caller before me?
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 14: He pointed it out. You know, the same guy who
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 14: voted for Barack Obama now sounds like he's still living
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 14: during the days of Barack Obama. You're becoming a good
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 14: microphone for the Democrat Party. All they've got to do
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 14: is listen to your monologue, if we call it that,
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 14: and take bits and pieces of it. Now, let's start
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 14: with point one. Trump's comments about not caring about anything.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 14: Those were taken out of context. So I want to
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 14: correct you because you keep repeating the narrative that the left...
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 14: As soon as I heard it, I'm like, well, there
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 14: goes the left. They're going to take a snippet of
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 14: this and run it all day. Not only are they
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 14: doing it, but Ron Verbe's doing it. It's like I
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 14: take one step forward with you..
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: Well, I heard it at 3 o'clock when I'm sitting
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: in my studio chair. Explain what he said then. Go
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: ahead and explain it.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 13: Stop.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 14: He was being... He was being escorted to begin his
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 14: trip to China. And as you know, being the most
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 14: transparent president, not only of our lifetime, but in the
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 14: history of our country, he's fielding questions and answering them.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 14: He's getting hit and he just keeps answering them because
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 14: that's who he is. He doesn't hide behind questions. people.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 14: You never have to worry about what he's thinking because
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 14: he'll tell you. But he was getting peppered with questions
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 14: about Iran, the economy, some guy who just resigned from
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 14: the administration. And he's answering these questions as fast as
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 14: they're coming at him. So in a questioning about the economy,
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 14: it then pivoted to Iran and And then it was,
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 14: will you out something to the effect, and I'm not
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 14: quoting him, so something to the effect of, will you
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 14: allow the current conditions of inflation affect your decision-making with Iran?
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 14: And he said no. And I'm glad he said no,
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 14: because he's got a job to do, and the job
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 14: is to get rid of these nuclear weapons. So when
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 14: he said, I'm not going to be concerned about inflation
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 14: or the cost of living, he He was referring to
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 14: when he's making a decision with Iran. He's not telling
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 14: Ron Verbin and the JJs of the world that he
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 14: doesn't care about you. Now you got JJ thinking that's
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 14: what he said. And, you know, JJ and Frank and Emmanuel,
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 14: those guys are just looking for you to give them something.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 14: You know, like you throw that bird a cracker and
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 14: they'll come eat and they'll run and they'll just be
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 14: happy and go lucky. So he did not say he
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 14: doesn't care about America. He said he will not let
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 14: any other factors affect his decision-making when it comes to Iran.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 14: And that's the kind of leader I want. I don't
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 14: want a guy who puts his finger in the air
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 14: and makes a decision based on the people screaming the loudest.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 14: You were talking about that yesterday. You said people are
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 14: against the war. Well, people are against a lot of things.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 14: The loudest voice, does that make them the right voice,
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 14: the correct voice?
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 14: And sometimes people don't have the information to make proper decisions.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 14: You know, if a guy tells you, Ron, I'm going
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 14: to commit suicide, I'm going to go walk off this bridge.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 14: Isn't it your right to try to help him and
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 14: save him and help him make a decision so he
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 14: doesn't walk off the bridge?
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 14: Some people can't help themselves. You know, some people are
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 14: just too dumb to help themselves. We elect leaders to
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 14: make decisions. You know, I've gotten to the point where
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 14: I filter out the things that really used to irritate
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 14: me with Trump. I remember when I was the only
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 14: guy who was critical of him on your program and
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 14: I used to get attacked by the megacalls. Well, I've grown.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 14: When he calls someone a dumb person like he did today,
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 14: I just shake my head and I ignore it because
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 14: that's just who he is. Those are the kind of
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 14: things that upset me about Donald Trump. His narcissistic personality,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 14: his stupid comments like calling reporters dumb. Those are the
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 14: things that bother me. But when it comes to making
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 14: decisions that are best for our country and America first,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 14: I trust them completely. I don't worry at night when
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 14: I go to bed. I know he's going to do
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 14: the right thing. Now, today, another example, inflation, CPI. You know,
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 14: I really believe that the media sometimes is so anxious
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 14: to try to nail Trump that sometimes they don't realize
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 14: they're promoting him. So what do I mean when I
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 14: say that? OK, well, we've been telling you, I've been
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 14: telling you since Trump's been president, that real wages are
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 14: finally out gaining inflation. Nobody else was telling you that.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 14: I've been telling you that for months upon months upon months.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 14: The liberal media is paying the doom and gloom picture.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: Hold that thought.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 3: Hold that thought.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: Ted, the conservative back with him after the break. Ron Verb,
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570 WQEN. 522 in the afternoon, we're at 68 degrees.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 5: News Radio 570 WKBN. All right, so just to clarify,
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 5: just to back up here.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: So what Trump said was he's not worried about inflation
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: or the price of gas or the price of groceries
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: when it comes to Iran and a nuclear weapon, right?
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 14: When it comes to making a decision on Iran... He's
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 14: not going to let that decision be clouded by other
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 14: things going on. It's Iran. You know, if you want
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 14: to talk about inflation, he'll talk to you about inflation.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 14: He will not allow anything to distract him when it
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 14: comes to Iran. He won't give in. He won't put
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 14: his finger in the air and say, well, Ron Verbe's
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 14: really beating me up because of the price of gas,
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 14: so I'm going to allow Iran to just have this
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 14: bomb and just, you know, and pray that another 9-11
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 14: doesn't happen. So he's not listening to guys like you
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 14: screaming at him every day. He's going to do what
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 14: he thinks is right, and that's why we elect these people, right?
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 14: If you don't like him, vote him out of office. Hey,
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 14: put Kamala. If you're so upset with Donald Trump, get
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 14: him impeached, and let's bring in the Democrats and give
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 14: them back the power, because they're the ones that created
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 14: this mess. So I know we're going to run out
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 14: of time. I wanted to talk to you about current inflation,
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 14: wage growth. One thing they admitted when attacking him today, wow,
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 14: for the first time during Trump's presidency... Real wage growth
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 14: is outpaced by inflation. And they wouldn't tell you that
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 14: for the last year and a half, that wage growth
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 14: had outpaced inflation. But now they have an opportunity to
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 14: use it against them, so they say that part out loud.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 24: OK?
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 14: Core inflation. I don't know what the heck Frank talks
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 14: about when he calls you sometimes, because it just doesn't
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 14: make sense to me. When the Federal Reserve makes decisions,
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 14: they don't look at CPI. CPI is a volatile index.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 9: It comes out monthly.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 14: It includes fuel. It includes food, who can be affected
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 14: by many variable outside elements. War, the price of fuel,
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 14: a cattle shortage that affects beef prices. OK, all those
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 14: things affect CPI. Your core inflation is still under 3%, 2.8%.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 14: So when you cite these sources talking about inflation going
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 14: to 5%, I don't know what they're talking about. Core inflation? CPI?
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 14: Are they saying, you know, everyone kept saying that we're
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 14: going to have $ 200 barrel of gas, the market's going
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 14: to crash. Down in Columbiana, gas is $ 4. 40 a gallon.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: All right, you'll have to pick it up from there tomorrow.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Ted. Appreciate it. Guardians coming up.

  Speaker 3: Got our week off to a good start here.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: Let's go back to baseball tonight.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 26: Going to give you the Philadelphia Phillies on the money line.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 3: It's my play of the day.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 26: Now, this is the battle of two teams who have
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 26: already fired their manager, and the Phillies are making it count.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 26: They've won four straight series. Zach Wheeler's making it count
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 26: as well. He's come back from injury. His pitch count
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 26: continues to go up. He's gone for two straight quality starts.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 26: Brian Baio has not done well. He pitched well last time,
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 26: but his ERA is over 7. The Phillies' bullpen is
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 26: better as well. Philadelphia, Moneyline, that's going to be my
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 26: play of the day. Now you can join me when

  Speaker 3: What a job by Aleman in his major league debut.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 3: Two shutout innings by the big right hander.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 25: Welcome back to Guardians Warm Up. Franco Aleman joining us
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 25: after his major league debut on Sunday. Two scoreless innings
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 25: and Franco, I know it's something you dream about for
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 25: a long time and I'm going to guess that may
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 25: have lived up to everything you expected?
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 20: Best day of my life. Everything that I was hoping for.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 27: Honestly, even better than I could have ever imagined. Family
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 27: being here, great weather, awesome fans, good crowd, day games.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 20: It was great.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 3: You worked so hard to get here.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 25: What do you think clicked for you recently that allowed
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 25: you to be in position to get here and then
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 25: have success?
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 20: I think understanding the power of simplicity.
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 27: Because the key of the game is to be consistent
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 27: and realizing there's no consistency without simplicity was really powerful.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 27: And what I mean by that is just simplifying my routines,
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 27: simplifying my approach to the game and just having a
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 27: ton of fun.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 25: And good health has helped. How did you get to
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 25: a good place physically, too, to allow you to show
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 25: what you could do?
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 27: I think going back to what I was just saying,
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 27: simplifying my routine, my stretch, simplifying my workouts, simplifying my
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 27: recovery post-workouts, it made it all flow really well and
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 27: allowed me to keep the main thing, the main thing.
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 20: Which is having fun on the mountain.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 25: You've been on the radar for a while just because
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 25: of the potential, certainly, I've What kept you going when
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 25: maybe times were tough and you weren't having the success
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 25: that you wanted?
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 27: Yeah, I mean, again, it's a lifelong dream I've had,
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 27: and I fight really hard to achieve dreams and to
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 27: achieve goals that I put for myself, and it's been
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 27: a lifelong dream since I was a kid, and my
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 27: parents pushed me really hard.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 20: I mean, we're very poor, and we come from Cuba,
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 20: and we don't have.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 27: Much here, so that's always been a huge motivation to...
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 27: do better and be better for my family and be
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 27: able to, I don't know, help the ones that are here,
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 27: help the ones that are in Cuba, have some family
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 27: in Spain. Like, I want to help my family out
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 27: and this is the best way that I can do it.
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 25: You mentioned being from Cuba and your first 11 years
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 25: were there. From a baseball standpoint, how much did you
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 25: do and could you do while you were there?
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 27: I think baseball in Cuba is very organic. You grow
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 27: up playing on streets with kids. As soon as you're
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 27: old enough to fit a uniform, you're playing in your town.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 27: I've been playing for as long as I remember. I
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 27: was in the 9-10 trial ball team over there in Cuba.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 27: I'm from the city where the Gurriel's are from, and
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 27: I've been a humongous baseball fan since I was a kid.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 27: My screensaver is a picture when I was like eight
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 27: or nine with the oldest Gurriel brother, the only one
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 27: that I didn't make it to the big leagues. So
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 27: I've wanted to be a big leaguer my entire life.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 3: So you come here. And you don't know much English.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 25: How much English did you know and how did you
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 25: get up to speed and feel comfortable at an age
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 25: where that might not have been too easy?
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 20: I knew how to count to a thousand. I knew
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 20: all the animal names and that's about it and colors.
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 27: And I think my parents were just, I had really
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 27: tough parents growing up and they forced me to put
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 27: the TV in Spanish. And I played in an awesome
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 27: travel ball team with awesome teammates growing up that bullied
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 27: me a little bit when I mispronounced things.
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 20: And they also helped me learn how to pronounce them right.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 20: And it was great. And I never liked falling behind.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 27: And when I got here and I was the only
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 27: kid that didn't know English, like that didn't feel very good.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 27: And I made sure and my parents made sure I
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 27: studied a lot.
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 25: Your wife, some cousins were here, I know, and some friends.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 25: But mom was here over the weekend. And what did
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 25: that mean? especially after the way things went on Sunday.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 27: That meant the world to me. My mom hasn't been
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 27: able to see me pitch since I was 20 in college,
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 27: so six years. My brother was four last time he
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 27: went to a baseball game of mine, and he probably
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 27: doesn't remember that, so to see him here and enjoy
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 27: watching me pitch well, it's awesome.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 25: And you joined a Cleveland bullpen that has had a
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 25: great reputation the last couple of seasons. I've How much
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 25: do you feel that when you're at AAA, knowing that
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 25: you could be a part of that at some point?
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 20: I think you.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 27: Feel the responsibility to help the bullpen as soon as
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 27: you sign with this organization just because it's known to
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 27: be such a pitcher-driven organization, pitcher-heavy, and the development of
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 27: pitchers in this organization is unbelievable. So I've always felt
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 27: the pressure to be great in the bullpen or be
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 27: great and be a part of good pitching staff.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 25: Great day Sunday because you pitched? But you were saying earlier,
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 25: every day is a great day in.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 3: The big leagues. What does that mean?
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 27: Yeah, man, I find myself pinching myself trying to wake
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 27: up from a dream, but it's unbelievable.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 20: The facilities, the staff, the treatment, everything's unbelievable.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 3: Franco, thanks for coming back. Congratulations.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 20: Thank you.
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 25: That's Franco Alamon. Made his major league debut Sunday with

• 1:49:58
  Speaker 32: to he, he definitely does not like being out and,
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 32: I'm sure he'll tell you he feels like he's been
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 32: away for a week, even though it's been two days,
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 32: but there's an energy and a presence he brings in
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 32: our clubhouse and our dugout, and it's good to have
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 32: him back.
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 3: Tony, let's go back to last night. How big, even
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 3: though it ended up being 7-2, was the two-out, two-run
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 3: single by Brian Rocchio, and why was it big in
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 3: your mind in the second inning?
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 32: Yeah, I mean, we've obviously, people know that two days
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 32: before that, we left a lot of guys on base,
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 32: and so Whether we like to admit it or not,
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 32: people feel that, I don't know if you want to
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 32: call it pressure, but they know it's been happening the
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 32: last two days where we aren't getting the big hits.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 32: So for him to go up there, he fell behind 0-2,
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 32: and then he gets a hit on a low splitter
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 32: that was a really tough pitch to hit. But it
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 32: was just good for us to get that knock and
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 32: then capitalize even more after that. I think it just
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 32: was a big, let's get the weight off our back
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 32: and now let's go play and not put too much
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 32: pressure on ourselves.
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 3: It seems like that's the hit you haven't had much
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 3: of this year, which is why most of these games
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 3: end up going until the ninth inning. Why does a
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 3: hit like that early in a game have such a
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 3: bearing on a game? Well, I mean, anybody will tell you,
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 3: you take the lead early.
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 32: It's a really valuable thing. And so I think it
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 32: just gave everybody a chance to kind of step back
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 32: and be like, okay, we're good.
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 1: We're still a good team.
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 32: We're still a good hitting team. You're going to go
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 32: through stretches in 162 of two games where you don't
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 32: get the big hit. And those two games, we just
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 32: happened to have 25 guys on base. So it's one
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 32: of those things where sometimes it gets blown out of proportion,
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 32: but at the same time, you know, our job is
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 32: to get in there and get hits and come through and,
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 32: but hitting's really hard and it's going to fluctuate up
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 32: and down. And so to, to have that early on,
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 32: I think was huge. And then to continue to capitalize
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 32: and have good at bats and, and not get, you know,
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 32: where we're trying to do too much. I think it
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 32: showed last night that we were willing to take the
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 32: walk and, And then we have guys that got up
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 32: and got some hits.
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 3: Well, you talk about it. Ten walks, four came around
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 3: to score in the third inning alone. And thought it
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 3: was big for Stephen Kwan. First three at-bats obviously didn't
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 3: go the way he wanted. And then he had back-to-back walks.
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 3: May sound like baby steps, but it was in the
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 3: right direction.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 32: Yeah, and that's what's hard is, you know, you look
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 32: at a box score, people look at how many hits
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 32: you had. In reality, if you can get on base
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 32: in this league, you're going to be very valuable. And
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 32: so for him not to try to do too much
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 32: and take his walk is really important. And then you
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 32: have a guy like Reese Hoskins that took three. And
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 32: I think that's one thing that Reese has shown as
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 32: a veteran, how to have a quality at bat and
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 32: be okay. And I hate saying be okay, but like
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 32: be excited about a walk. Like a walk is a
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 32: very productive thing. And so hopefully that can kind of
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 32: catapult Kwani to continue to have good quality at bats
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 32: and then sprinkling some hits there and get back on track.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 3: You know, we always talk about hitting being contagious and,
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 3: can that work as well when guys start taking walks?
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 32: Yeah, I think you can also sense a pitcher when
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 32: he doesn't have it. And so it's like, okay, let's
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 32: shrink our zone even more. And you get into kind
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 32: of a 3-1 mentality no matter the count, especially before
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 32: two strikes. It's, I'm hunting one pitch in one spot,
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 32: and if he doesn't throw it there, I'm not swinging.
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 32: And it's not a bad approach when a guy is
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 32: having struggles getting in the zone, and then you force
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 32: him back.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 23: Into the zone.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 1: And that's when you hope you can make him pay.
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 32: And if he doesn't come back in the zone, be
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 32: willing to take that walk and pass the baton to
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 32: the next guy.
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 3: Slade Ciccone had signs of improvement. He was really happy
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 3: with his curveball and slider last time out.
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 32: Yeah, I mean, he's been working, you know, guys that
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 32: know Slade, he's not going to lack any work. He's
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 32: not going to have any stone unturned. And he's determined
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 32: to be really, really good. And his work, I think,
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 32: shows that. And he competes and he continues to get
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 32: better and The one thing is when he's in good counts,
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 32: he's really good, just like most pitchers in this league.
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 32: If you're in good counts, you're going to have success.
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 32: And so I think the biggest thing is just continue
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 32: to attack with this stuff and then compete like he does.
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 32: And if he's in good counts, I think we'll have
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 32: a good night.
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 3: That's Cleveland bench coach Tony Arnerich filling in for Stephen Vogt,

• 2:01:36
  Speaker 3: From Progressive Field in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, it is game
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 3: number 44. Tonight, the Cleveland Guardians and the Los Angeles
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 3: Angels play in game two of this three-game series, a
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 3: matinee affair coming your way tomorrow afternoon. Hi again, everybody.
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 3: This is Tom Hamilton on an overcast night on the
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 3: shores of Lake Erie, along with Jim Rosenhouse and Brian Montse.
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 3: And much warmer than it was last night, although that's
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 3: not saying much. But temperature-wise, at least we've been in
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 3: the 60s today. And the better news, there is not
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 3: even a ripple in that American flag. that hangs high
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 3: above the bullpen areas out on the concourse in Wright Center.
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 3: And basically, folks, we have said it time and again,
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 3: it's anywhere from a 10 to maybe even a 12
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 3: degree difference when the wind is blowing in, or in
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 3: this case, when there is no breeze. And obviously, when
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 3: there is a breeze blowing out, that is usually the
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 3: sign of much warmer temperatures here in Northeast Ohio. Cleveland
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 3: coming in on top of the American League Central Division
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 3: at 22-21. That's a game and a half better than
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 3: the ultra-surprising Chicago White Sox who have had a terrific
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 3: start to their campaign. The Angels, they're the worst team
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 3: in the American League, and only the New York Mets
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 3: with a worse record in all of Major League Baseball.
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 3: The Angels now 16-26, and they are buried in the
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 3: American League West six games out of first place. The
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 3: umpiring crew tonight, Jeremy Rehak will call the balls and strikes.
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 3: Dan Iasonius, the crew chief at first. It'll be Adam
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 3: Beck at second. And Jonathan Parra, the third base umpire.
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 3: 325 down each line. It's 370 to the gap in
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 3: left center, 375 to right center, and 400 to dead center.
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 3: The 19-foot wall from the left field corner to center,
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 3: from the right field corner to center, 9 feet. 35,000
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 3: is what this ballpark now seats since it's been scaled
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 3: down and renovated. You have three decks that begin in
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 3: right center, work their way around the pole to home plate,
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 3: two decks from home plate down the left field line,
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 3: then all kinds of bleacher seats from left to straightaway
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 3: center field. Slade Ciccone and the Guardians take the field
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 3: in their home whites with a navy blue and red trim.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 3: Angels go with the red jerseys tonight with the dark
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 3: red-white trim and gray pants. Cleveland has just absolutely dominated
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 3: the Angels in this ballpark, my goodness, since 2015. Cleveland
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 3: is 28-4, 28-4 against the Angels here at the corner.
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 3: of Carnegie and Ontario. For the Angels, they are under
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 3: the direction of rookie manager and a longtime good major
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 3: league catcher in Kurt Suzuki. He's got the former outstanding
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 3: MAAC outfielder, Adam Eaton, who had a good major league career,
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 3: won a World Series with Washington, started with the White Sox,
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 3: played at Miami of Ohio. Adam Eaton is coaching at
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 3: first and Keith Johnson coaching at third. Slade Ciccone trying
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 3: to erase what has been a nightmarish two career outings
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 3: against the Angels. In the two ballgames against the Angels,
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 3: he's given up 12 runs in seven and a third innings.
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 3: 0-1 career record, and if you want the numbers, an
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 3: earned run average of 14.73. Slade Ciccone, three fastballs, four seamer, sinker, cutter,
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 3: then the curve and the slider. The issue for him
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 3: has been getting good break on both the curve and slider.
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 3: He said they've really been working on reshaping the slider.
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 3: and he really wants more of a 12-6 curveball. He
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 3: felt that it was better his last time out against
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 3: Kansas City. The shortstop, Zach Nettle, leads it off right-hander
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 3: against right-hander. Ciccone does not use the windup. The set
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 3: and tonight's first pitch, and it's swung on and missed
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 3: strike one, and we're underway at the corner of Carnegie
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 3: and Ontario. Game time temp of 63 degrees. Netto batting. 222,
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 3: six homers, 18 RBIs. The pitch. A swing and a
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 3: foul back going two. There may not be a more
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 3: aggressive leadoff hitter than Zach Netto in the game of baseball.
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 3: He'll strike out a lot, but he is a good player. Netto,
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 3: one for five last night out of Campbell University. The
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 3: fighting camel awaits the 0-2 pitch. And it's outside. And
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 3: a 97-mile-an-hour fastball.
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 3: We haven't seen that all year from Ciccone, who's also
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 3: really worked on the mechanics of his delivery to really
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 3: drive down the mound toward the plate to get better velo.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 3: Now the 1-2 pitch. Down and away. Missed with that
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 3: cutter in the count 2-2. The curveball and the slider
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 3: have been the two pitches that have been hit hard
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 3: off Slade Ciccone. And he needs those to take hitters
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 3: off the fastball. Now the 2-2. Swing and a foul
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 3: tip into the catcher's mitt. That is worn tonight by
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 3: Patrick Bailey. And a strikeout on a good fastball in
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 3: on the hands of Netto to start tonight's ballgame. Stephen
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 3: Kwan in left. Daniel Schneeman patrols center, Angel Martinez in right,
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 3: Kyle Manzardo at first, Travis Pazana at second, Brian Rocchio
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 3: at short, Jose Ramirez at third, and the second start
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 3: behind the plate in a Cleveland uniform for Patrick Bailey.
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 3: Mike Trout takes, it's up high, ball one. Trout's been
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 3: healthy all year, and that's great news for the game
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 3: of baseball, and obviously even better news for the Angels.
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 3: The future Hall of Famer, right-handed batter in center, the pitch,
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 3: and he cuts and misses, threw it by him at
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 3: 96 miles per hour. One-on-one to count. Mike Trout batting. 248,
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 3: sixth in the American League with a team-high 11 homers.
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 3: He's knocked in 23. The pitch to him and he
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 3: taps it foul. Third base side by the Cleveland dugout.
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 3: And the count one and two. Stephen Vogt back in
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 3: that dugout feeling much, much better. He's having trouble with
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 3: his voice but able to manage tonight. And a great
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 3: job done by the bench coach Tony Arnerich in his absence.
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 3: Now the one-two delivery to Trout. Swung on, skied in
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 3: the air, fouled down the right side, out of play.
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 3: Mike Trout's in his 15th Major League season. All have
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 3: been spent in Anaheim. He's a lifetime 3-0-1 hitter. Seven
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 3: times 30 homers or more. Three times 100 RBIs or more.
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 3: Three times American League MVP. Four times American League MVP runner-up.
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 3: Now the 1-2 delivery. High and wide, 2-2. The only
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 3: thing Mike Trout has as a blemish on the resume,
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 3: a lot of injuries. But boy, is he fun to watch.
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 3: Now the 2-2. High, full count. He is built like
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 3: a middle linebacker. 6'2, 235. The difference is he runs
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 3: like an NFL wide receiver. Maybe not to the extent
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 3: he once did. Now the payoff pitch. Check swing foul
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 3: will do it again. Boy, there was a time that
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 3: Mike Trout was averaging 26 stolen bases a year. He
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 3: did that his first eight years in the big leagues.
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 3: Doesn't run nearly as much now. Need him to stay healthy.
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 3: The 3-2 offering. Swing and a broken bat. Jam job.
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 3: Bouncing towards second. Gloved by Lozano, but he can't get
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 3: the throw over in time. Well, there's Mike Trout still
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 3: showing he can get up and down that first baseline.
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 3: A little jam job floater. That Bazana charged at second.
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 3: Not much you can do. You break the bat. Takes
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 3: the sting out of it. And Bazana did all he
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 3: could to try to get Trout. He shows you he
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 3: can still pick him up and put him down. So
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 3: the infield hit brings up the first baseman, Nolan Shonawell. Batting.
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 23: 257.
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 3: Three homers. 20 RBIs. The pitch. And it's in there.
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 3: A called strike.
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 1: Biggest issue today.
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 3: That the Angels have had this year offensively, they just
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 3: don't hit well with men in scoring position. That has
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 3: really hurt them this year. The pitch, and it's on
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 3: the outer edge, 0-2 the count. Now nobody in scoring
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 3: position right now, but it's really been a year-long issue
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 3: for the Angels hitting in the clutch. And Cleveland has
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 3: struggled at times with that as well. Cleveland ranks eighth
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 3: in the American League. The Angels tenth. Now the 0-2
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 3: to Shanawell. The left-handed slugger takes high. The Guardians bat 240.
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 3: Now let's check here now. Get it back. The Guardians
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 3: bat 240. They're tenth in the league with men in
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 3: scoring position. The Angels are thirteenth at 234. Now the
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 3: 1-2 delivery. Rope foul down the right side by Shanawell.
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 3: The count, 1-2. What's amazing, the White Sox are doing
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 3: what they're doing, and they're the worst clutch-hitting team in
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 3: the American League. Batting. 216 with men in scoring position.
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 3: Seattle's second worst,. 225. Then the Angels,. 234. Best clutch-hitting team? Well,
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 3: the best team in the American League, Tampa Bay. They
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 3: hit 283 in the clutch. Down the one-two. Swung on.
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 3: Line shot to left. It's hanging up, but not long
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 3: enough for Kwon to get there. Throw it a second.
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 3: Trout goes in standing. Ball goes off the glove of
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 3: Bazana to the grass area on the infield. Trout thought
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 3: that ball might be caught. Pretty good decoy by Kwon
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 3: and left, but it got down, and then Trout almost
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 3: got forced at second. He didn't slide. He went in standing,
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 3: and he almost came off the base. So back-to-back singles.
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 3: Trout at second. Shauna well at first. Here's Jorge Soler.
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 3: Sixth in the American League and runs batted in. He
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 3: takes the strike. Soler with 28 RBIs. Hitting 226. Eight homers.
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 3: 28 runs batted in. Ciccone sets. Delivers way outside. And
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 3: the count, one and one. Stephen Kwan in left, Daniel
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 3: Schneeman in center, Angel Martinez in right, Kyle Manzardo at first,
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 3: Travis Pazana at second, Brian Arrocchio at short, Jose Ramirez
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 3: at third, Patrick Bailey catching. The pitch, banged foul, third
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 3: base side. And a one-two count on Soler. The veteran
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 3: DH in his 12th Major League season is first in Anaheim. Solaire.
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 3: At times he's been an okay outfielder, but pretty much
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 3: now he's strictly a DH. The set, the delivery, and
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 3: it missed outside, 2-2. Should make a correction. This is
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 3: Solaire's second year in Anaheim. Solaire out of Cuba. He
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 3: is still a big, strong man. 6'4, 230. The pitch.
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 3: Swing and a pop-up foul into the home plate area.
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 3: What is happening to Ciccone here, and this is where
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 3: the lack of a quality curve and slider have hurt him,
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 3: not putting hitters away with two strikes. He's already at
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 3: 23 pitches here in the first, and there's only one out.
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 3: He's getting ahead of everybody. The 2-2. Got him swinging.
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 3: Elevated fastball. And the second strikeout for Ciccone. The second
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 3: out here in the first. And that'll bring up Vaughn Grissom.
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 3: And Slade Ciccone was talking about that. He said, look,
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 3: I don't have a changeup anymore. So it's imperative that
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 3: I get back that good off-speed curveball and complement that
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 3: with a slider to take the hitter off my three fastballs.
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 3: But it's still a work in progress. Now can he
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 3: get out of the inning unscathed? Here's Vaughn Grissom at
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 3: second tonight. Right-handed batter takes up high. Ball one. Grissom
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 3: has been the Angels' best clutch hitter. A 4-67 batting
• 2:16:13
  Speaker 3: mark with men in scoring position. Trout in scoring position
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 3: at second. Shaunawell at first. Two down, Angels batting in
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 3: the first. No score. The 1-0 delivery to Grissom. Swing
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 3: and a weak bouncer to short. Charged by Rocchio. Bobbles recovers.
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 3: High throw. Good stretch. Good reach up by Manzardo. Inning
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 3: is over. Ciccone works out of it. And the Angels
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 3: fail to score with the Guardians coming to bat.
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 35: Progressive knows sports brings people together.
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 12: But you've got to feel bad for people who don't
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 12: even get it.
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 35: Some people will never know what it's like to see
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 35: their favorite team's hopes decided by a ping pong ball
• 2:16:53
  Speaker 35: to draft the next superstar.
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 7: Or not.
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 35: I mean, sure, it's silly for your happiness to hinge
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 35: on the success of a 20-year-old entry-level employee, but you
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 35: just can't help yourself.
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 5: The stress is exhilarating.
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 35: Progressive can't bring people together like the draft, but we
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 35: can bring your home and auto insurance together with a bundle.

  Speaker 6: News Radio 570 WKBN Youngstown.
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 3: Cleveland's going to get their first look at a really
• 2:18:45
  Speaker 3: good young pitching prospect as Stephen Kwan takes the high heat.
• 2:18:49
  Speaker 3: His name is Wolbert Ureña. 6'1, 215. Ureña delivers. Kwan
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 3: takes high. It's 2-0. Ureña is 22 years of age
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 3: out of the Dominican Republic area. He throws an upper
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 3: 90s four-seam fastball, an upper 90s sinker, slider, and a
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 3: devastating change. The pitch is in there, a strike. That
• 2:19:20
  Speaker 3: was his changeup. It'll be in the upper 80s to
• 2:19:24
  Speaker 3: low 90s. And Mark Guba's up. The longtime Major League
• 2:19:31
  Speaker 3: pitcher who's next door to the pitch. Swing and a
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 3: liner toward left field. It is getting down. Base hit.
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 3: Stephen Kwon. Talked about it on the manager's show. Walked
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 3: his last two times up last night. And those are
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 3: baby steps because that showed you Stephen Kwon had kind
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 3: of reeled back in his real feel of the strike zone.
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 3: And stayed patient, didn't try to do too much. Follows
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 3: those two walks with a leadoff hit tonight. Here's Chase
• 2:20:04
  Speaker 3: DeLauder DH-ing. Ureña' s pitch down low, ball one. But Mark Gubiza,
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 3: who was such a good pitcher, part of that 1985
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 3: Kansas City Royals rotation that won the World Series, he
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 3: was saying that Ureña will throw a changeup That is
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 3: so devastating. They have seen multiple hitters swing, miss, and
• 2:20:31
  Speaker 3: either fall down or almost fall down in the batter's box.
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 3: Here's the 1-0 to DeLauder. And he takes the strike.
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 3: There was the changeup. Cleveland's never faced Ureña before. Heck,
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 3: he's basically never pitched above double-A. Handful of innings in triple-A.
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 3: Now the 1-1 to DeLauder. And it's outside a changeup, 2-1. Ureña.
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 3: How good is this changeup? Teams are batting 1-0-7 off
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 3: his changeup this year. The 2-1. And it's low, 3-1.
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 3: Teams are hitting 1-43 off his four-seam fastball. But what
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 3: is puzzling... Teams are hitting. 455 off his sinker and.
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 3: 333 off his slider. The set, the pitch. Swung on
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 3: a bouncer to second. Grissom to second.
• 2:21:40
  Speaker 2: One.
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 3: Netto turns the double play. That's what he is so
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 3: capable of doing right there. Getting behind in the count.
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 3: and then able to get a double play ball and
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 3: guess what he got the double play ball off his
• 2:21:57
  Speaker 3: changeup that's pretty impressive for a 22 year old so
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 3: no score first inning bases now empty 2 down Jose
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 3: Ramirez at third switch hitter batting left handed he takes
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 3: and it's in there called strike Ramirez batting 215 6
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 3: homers 16 RBIs Ureña making his fifth Major League start.
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 3: The pitch, and it's fouled off to the left, 0-2.
• 2:22:30
  Speaker 3: One win, three losses, ERA 3-22. Four previous starts, twice
• 2:22:37
  Speaker 3: he worked out of the bullpen. He's been averaging five
• 2:22:41
  Speaker 3: innings to start. The 0-2, high 1-2. Now, Ureña has
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 3: had command issues. He walks six every nine innings. He
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 3: also strikes out nine. No, one-two. And strike. Oh, the
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 3: Angels walking off the field thought it was strike three.
• 2:23:08
  Speaker 3: So did I. No challenge by the Angels. They were
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 3: out of them last night in the third. If they
• 2:23:15
  Speaker 3: challenge that one, the inning is over. But they've got
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 3: a youngster catching. The pitch. Swing and a miss. Struck
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 3: him out on a changeup in the dirt. Or did
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 3: he foul tip it?
• 2:23:27
  Speaker 2: Nope.
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 3: He missed it. Posey just turns, walks back to the
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 3: third base dugout and says, I've had enough. No score
• 2:23:34
  Speaker 3: after one on the Cleveland Clinic Radio Network. Well, the
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 3: longtime Chicago White Sox, whom Cleveland at one time would
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 3: be seeing 19 times a year. Yohan Moncada leads off
• 2:23:59
  Speaker 3: and Slade Ciccone misses outside.
• 2:24:01
  Speaker 9: Ball one.
• 2:24:02
  Speaker 3: No score. This is inning number two from downtown Cleveland.
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 3: Ciccone lets it fly. Moncada batting left-handed, fouling it back.
• 2:24:16
  Speaker 3: Moncada having another tough year. He is batting 188. Three homers,
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 3: nine RBIs. Boy, one time he looked like a superstar
• 2:24:33
  Speaker 3: in the making. Now the 1-1. Swings and fouls it
• 2:24:39
  Speaker 3: off sweet level, third base side, 1-2. Dollar Bank, the
• 2:24:44
  Speaker 3: proud banking partner of the Guardians. 28 locations in Northeast
• 2:24:48
  Speaker 3: Ohio ready to provide solutions to help get you there. Munkata,
• 2:24:56
  Speaker 3: another native of Cuba. The 1-2. Down low, ball 2, 2-2.
• 2:25:06
  Speaker 3: Moncada coming in that Chris Sale trade between the White
• 2:25:09
  Speaker 3: Sox and Red Sox. That's been 10 years ago. The
• 2:25:17
  Speaker 3: pitch swung on, line shot to left center, base hit.
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 3: So Moncada with the third hit of the night off
• 2:25:24
  Speaker 3: Slade Ciccone. And that'll bring up the right fielder, Joe Adele.
• 2:25:30
  Speaker 3: Adele up to a heck of a start. 279 batting mark,
• 2:25:36
  Speaker 3: six overs, 24 RBIs. And Adele is a guy that
• 2:25:46
  Speaker 3: has faced Slade Ciccone three times and taken him deep twice.
• 2:25:53
  Speaker 3: He cuts and misses, strike one. Well, in Cleveland's batting
• 2:26:03
  Speaker 3: in the first four innings, it's the old Conrad score four,
• 2:26:07
  Speaker 3: win four new times. The 0-1 pitch. Swing and a
• 2:26:12
  Speaker 3: bouncer to third. Charged by Ramirez to second one. Bazana relay.
• 2:26:16
  Speaker 23: Got him!
• 2:26:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, what a double play! Turned by Ramirez and Bazana.
• 2:26:24
  Speaker 3: Posey charging on that difficult swoop on the short hop.
• 2:26:30
  Speaker 3: club through quickly to second a quick pivot by Travis
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 3: Pazana to turn two but the Angels do not believe
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 3: that it's a double play and they are going to
• 2:26:43
  Speaker 3: ask New York to make the definitive call on this
• 2:26:49
  Speaker 3: so right now two outs and the bases are empty
• 2:26:53
  Speaker 3: no score here in the second but when Cleveland's batting
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 3: Jeffrey Murphy of Tillman's to try to win the four
• 2:27:01
  Speaker 3: Bridgestone tires. Thanks to our friends at Conrad's Tire Express
• 2:27:06
  Speaker 3: and Total Car Care. Visit econrads.com to enter. Good luck
• 2:27:12
  Speaker 3: to Jeffrey Murphy from Talmadge. Bang, bang, play it first.
• 2:27:17
  Speaker 3: We'll see how New York calls it. What an effort, though,
• 2:27:21
  Speaker 3: by Ramirez and Bazzana. Travis Bazzana has really looked Much
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 3: improved on the pivot and turn at second. After the call,
• 2:27:31
  Speaker 3: the field is overturned. The runner is safe.
• 2:27:33
  Speaker 20: Los Angeles retains their challenge.
• 2:27:35
  Speaker 3: But the call is overturned despite the valiant effort on
• 2:27:39
  Speaker 3: the part of Romano. and Bassano. So, fielder's choice, Adele,
• 2:27:45
  Speaker 3: now at first one down, still no score. Still in
• 2:27:49
  Speaker 3: the top half of inning number two, and here's Josh Lowe,
• 2:27:53
  Speaker 3: the left-handed hitting left fielder. Lowe Having a tough start.
• 2:28:02
  Speaker 3: Fouling it back, strike one. He came in a three-team
• 2:28:05
  Speaker 3: trade with Cincinnati, the Angels, and Tampa in January. And
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 3: low with the Angels batting 165. Four homers, ten RBIs.
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 3: The pitch, outside and high, one and one. The Angels
• 2:28:24
  Speaker 3: have a lineup tonight. Almost mid-May and they have two
• 2:28:28
  Speaker 3: guys in the lineup tonight batting under 200. Angels average
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 3: not quite four and a half runs a game. Sixth
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 3: in the league in runs, fourth in homers, but lead
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 3: the league in strikeouts. Seventh in OPS. Now the set,
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 3: throw over to first and back with a dive is Adele.
• 2:28:56
  Speaker 3: But it's amazing what hitting in the clutch does. The
• 2:28:59
  Speaker 3: Angels don't do it. Tampa Bay, no great offensive team,
• 2:29:03
  Speaker 3: but they're the best hitting in the clutch. Best record
• 2:29:05
  Speaker 3: in the American League. The pitch swung on, lifted in
• 2:29:09
  Speaker 3: the air, medium deep center. Schneeman retires low. That is
• 2:29:14
  Speaker 3: out number two. And here's the youngster in his second
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 3: major league game, Omar Martinez. One for one. He got
• 2:29:22
  Speaker 3: a major league base hit his first time up here.
• 2:29:25
  Speaker 3: Talk about a kid that paid his dues. Eight years
• 2:29:29
  Speaker 3: in the minors. The first seven with the Yankees organization.
• 2:29:34
  Speaker 3: And now in the big leagues with the Angels. They
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 3: had a 2-12 at AAA Salt Lake City before the call-up.
• 2:29:43
  Speaker 3: The pitch, backdoored him and missed with a curve. Their
• 2:29:46
  Speaker 3: terrific catcher, Logan Ohapi, still on the injured list. So
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 3: is their other really fine catcher, Travis Darnold. So the
• 2:29:55
  Speaker 3: Angels trying to piece it together behind the plate. The pitch.
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 3: A little bit wide.
• 2:30:00
  Speaker 4: 2-0.
• 2:30:01
  Speaker 3: They're still missing. Ben Joyce who's a fireballer out of
• 2:30:07
  Speaker 3: their bullpen. Started Grayson. Rodriguez still not healthy. Robert Stevenson.
• 2:30:15
  Speaker 3: Yusei Kikuchi. That pitch sails high and wide. Check swing
• 2:30:19
  Speaker 3: didn't go.
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 36: 3-0.
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 10: So..
• 2:30:23
  Speaker 3: You have those kind of injuries to a team that's
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 3: borderline 500 to begin with, and you can see why
• 2:30:31
  Speaker 3: they're off to this start. That pitch, at the knees,
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 3: a strike, three and one. And boy, the Angels have
• 2:30:41
  Speaker 3: struggled away from the big A. They just have not
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 3: pitched well when they're on the road. The three-one, fouled
• 2:30:50
  Speaker 3: it back, full count. They swing the bats better away
• 2:30:54
  Speaker 3: from the big A. 36 homers on the road, 14
• 2:30:58
  Speaker 3: at home. But their earned run average on the road
• 2:31:03
  Speaker 3: as a staff is 5.5. It's more than two runs
• 2:31:07
  Speaker 3: higher than it is when they pitch at home. Traveling
• 2:31:11
  Speaker 3: time on this 3-2 pitch. No score, second inning. And
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 3: the pitch, a broken bat fly into shallow right center.
• 2:31:19
  Speaker 3: On the run, Schneeman got there to make the catch.
• 2:31:22
  Speaker 3: The center fielder retires Omar Martinez. This game stays scoreless
• 2:31:27

• 2:33:27
  Speaker 3: No score. We go to the bottom half of inning
• 2:33:29
  Speaker 3: number two. And looking at a first pitch strike from
• 2:33:34
  Speaker 3: Walbert Ureña is the cleanup hitter Kyle Manzardo. The pitch.
• 2:33:45
  Speaker 3: check swing and a change down and away. Boy, last night,
• 2:33:49
  Speaker 3: this guy couldn't hit the ball better, but it was
• 2:33:53
  Speaker 3: so cold, so windy blowing in. Man, Sarno just didn't
• 2:33:58
  Speaker 3: get rewarded. He could have had at least two homers.
• 2:34:02
  Speaker 3: The pitch, and it's outside, 2-1. But Kyle, very matter-of-factly,
• 2:34:09
  Speaker 3: saying today, hey, that's April and May in Cleveland. I
• 2:34:13
  Speaker 3: get it. Frustrating, but Can't worry about it. Now the 2-1.
• 2:34:21
  Speaker 3: Swing and a miss. 2-2. Where you as a hitter
• 2:34:23
  Speaker 3: get in trouble as if you go, okay, now I
• 2:34:27
  Speaker 3: have to do something more to get rewarded since that
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 3: ball didn't go out. Then you change things in your
• 2:34:34
  Speaker 3: swing and the next thing you know you're in an
• 2:34:36
  Speaker 3: 0-20 skid. Here's the 2-2. High and wide. Full count.
• 2:34:42
  Speaker 3: When the Guardians win, Northeast Ohio Ford dealers donate $ 500
• 2:34:47
  Speaker 3: to Cleveland Guardians Charities to help youth sports. Ureña hasn't
• 2:34:58
  Speaker 3: walked anybody yet. That's been his Achilles heel. The right-hander
• 2:35:02
  Speaker 3: lets it fly. And it's swung on and missed. Struck
• 2:35:05
  Speaker 3: him out on a changeup. 92-mile-an-hour changeup. Manzardo, the second victim.
• 2:35:12
  Speaker 3: Here's Travis Bozzana. Travis Bozzana hitting fifth tonight. He's batting. 211.
• 2:35:20
  Speaker 3: His on-base percentage,.
• 2:35:24
  Speaker 2: 423.
• 2:35:24
  Speaker 3: That's more than 200 points above his batting average because
• 2:35:31
  Speaker 3: he's walked 12 times in 12 games. He's also 7-for-7
• 2:35:38
  Speaker 3: in the stolen base department. Ureña' s ready. The pitch. Outside.
• 2:35:45
  Speaker 10: Ball one.
• 2:35:47
  Speaker 3: That fastball has some run on it. Going away from
• 2:35:52
  Speaker 3: the left-handed hitter. Lozada, 5'11, 200 pounds, 23 years of age.
• 2:35:59
  Speaker 3: The pitch. And it's a little high, 2-0. You wonder
• 2:36:05
  Speaker 3: with a kid in his... Basically, infancy states in the
• 2:36:12
  Speaker 3: big leagues catching Omar Martinez. How much he'll challenge pitches?
• 2:36:17
  Speaker 3: The 2-0. Swing and a foul back. They've done it
• 2:36:21
  Speaker 3: on the minor league level, but how do you feel
• 2:36:25
  Speaker 3: about it on the big league level? This kid has
• 2:36:28
  Speaker 3: had two at-bats in his major league career. Does he
• 2:36:33
  Speaker 3: feel worthy of challenging Jeremy Rehak? The 2-1 pitch. Outside,
• 2:36:39
  Speaker 3: ball three, three and one. Well, you can see why
• 2:36:43
  Speaker 3: Ureña is maybe walking six a game. Whether it's his
• 2:36:48
  Speaker 3: changeup or fastball, it has so much movement, sometimes it
• 2:36:51
  Speaker 3: moves off the plate from a strike to a ball.
• 2:36:55
  Speaker 3: 3-1 is hit on the ground weakly. Threw him a
• 2:36:59
  Speaker 3: 3-1 changeup. And Bozana grounds out to the second baseman
• 2:37:03
  Speaker 3: who has no trouble. Grissom throwing him out. Boy, when he...
• 2:37:08
  Speaker 3: Needs an out pitch. The kid is going to his
• 2:37:11
  Speaker 3: changeup here in the first two innings tonight. Why not?
• 2:37:15
  Speaker 3: We told you at the outset, teams barely hitting above
• 2:37:20
  Speaker 3: 100 against his changeup. Two outs, no Le'Veon, no score,
• 2:37:25
  Speaker 3: second inning. Boy, what a difference for the Angels tonight.
• 2:37:29
  Speaker 3: The pitch down low, a ball. They've got a legitimate,
• 2:37:33
  Speaker 3: bona fide, big-time pitching prospect on the mound. And Cleveland, luckily,
• 2:37:39
  Speaker 3: will miss Jose Soriano. Now the pitch in their strike. Soriano,
• 2:37:47
  Speaker 3: a Cy Young candidate. With a record of 6-2 and
• 2:37:51
  Speaker 3: a 166 ERA in nine starts. The pitch. And it's
• 2:38:01
  Speaker 3: on the outer edge. Called strike. 1-2 the count on Schneeman.
• 2:38:05
  Speaker 3: Who's batting 156 in the month of May. He's dropped
• 2:38:09
  Speaker 3: his season average to 273. Four homers, 17 RBIs. Down
• 2:38:16
  Speaker 3: to 1-2. Swing and a foul at the plate. Will
• 2:38:20
  Speaker 3: do it again. And a ball and two strikes.
• 2:38:22
  Speaker 25: I tell you, you mentioned Soriano and the Angels folks
• 2:38:25
  Speaker 25: saying this kid is smart enough to know that he
• 2:38:28
  Speaker 25: follows him around, tries to mimic his routines and soak
• 2:38:32
  Speaker 25: up everything he can from.
• 2:38:33
  Speaker 3: One of the best in baseball. Down the 1-2. Down low,
• 2:38:35
  Speaker 3: ball 2, 2-2. Last night, Cleveland walked 10 times. None
• 2:38:51
  Speaker 3: so far. The 2-2. Outside. Check swing on a changeup.
• 2:38:56
  Speaker 3: The kid started off the mound of the dugout. Full count.
• 2:39:01
  Speaker 3: He'll walk back on top of the hill. The pitch.
• 2:39:12
  Speaker 3: Got him swinging on a changeup.
• 2:39:14
  Speaker 34: Wow.
• 2:39:15
  Speaker 3: Ureña is impressive, and that change-up is every bit as
• 2:39:21
  Speaker 3: good as advertised. Thirds next, no score on the Cleveland
• 2:39:25
  Speaker 3: Clinic Radio Network. Third inning, no score, top of the order,
• 2:39:42
  Speaker 3: and Zach Netto, the shortstop, the batter, fouls off the
• 2:39:45
  Speaker 3: first pitch, strike one. Zach Netto, in his last two seasons,
• 2:39:53
  Speaker 3: his first two full seasons in the big leagues, has
• 2:39:57
  Speaker 3: averaged 24 homers, 28 steals, 70 RBIs. Swings and misses
• 2:40:05
  Speaker 3: at the next pitch. And the count, 0-2. Struck out
• 2:40:09
  Speaker 3: swinging in the first. Slade Ciccone has struck out a pair,
• 2:40:13
  Speaker 3: not walking anybody. Third inning, no score. Ciccone from the set.
• 2:40:22
  Speaker 3: Here it comes. The 0-2. Swing and a foul. We'll
• 2:40:27
  Speaker 3: do it again. Guardians honor the American League champs of
• 2:40:32
  Speaker 3: ten years ago. Friday night. T-shirt giveaway, fireworks. Tickets at CLEGuardians.com.
• 2:40:45
  Speaker 3: The next delivery. And strike. Three called. Kind of a
• 2:40:48
  Speaker 3: delayed call, but Netto had already started for the dugout.
• 2:40:52
  Speaker 3: He knew. Third strikeout for Ciccone. Twice he's gotten Netto.
• 2:40:58
  Speaker 3: Here's Mike Trout. Infield hit his first time up. The
• 2:41:06
  Speaker 3: fabulous Mike Trout. The pitch to him. And he looks
• 2:41:13
  Speaker 3: at a good curveball. That's one of the best we
• 2:41:16
  Speaker 3: have seen tonight from Slade Ciccone. Nothing in one to count.
• 2:41:24
  Speaker 3: You better have a lot of weapons trying to get
• 2:41:26
  Speaker 3: this guy out. The next pitch.
• 2:41:31
  Speaker 14: High.
• 2:41:32
  Speaker 3: A ball. One and one to count. He's ready. Here
• 2:41:47
  Speaker 3: it comes. And it's at the top of the zone,
• 2:41:51
  Speaker 3: a strike. Trout not convinced, but again, nobody's challenged yet.
• 2:41:56
  Speaker 3: One ball and two strikes. Mike Trout, first round pick
• 2:42:08
  Speaker 3: back in 09. Now the set, now the delivery, and
• 2:42:13
  Speaker 3: it's high. And they count two and two. And to
• 2:42:20
  Speaker 3: this day, no scouting director will give you an honest
• 2:42:26
  Speaker 3: answer on the pitch.
• 2:42:29
  Speaker 2: Strike!
• 2:42:30
  Speaker 3: Three called. A delayed call. Trout out looking. How in
• 2:42:34
  Speaker 3: the world did Mike Trout last until the 25th pick
• 2:42:38
  Speaker 3: in the draft? The Angels had three picks in the
• 2:42:42
  Speaker 3: first round that year. He was their last pick in
• 2:42:46
  Speaker 3: the first round. They even passed on him twice. Incredible.
• 2:42:51
  Speaker 3: Two outs, nobody on. Third inning, no score. The pitch.
• 2:42:56
  Speaker 3: And it's swung on, lifted in the air to left
• 2:42:59
  Speaker 3: by Nolan Shonawell, but drifting foul. The number one pick
• 2:43:03
  Speaker 3: in the 0-9 draft that Trout came in was pitcher
• 2:43:07
  Speaker 3: Steven Strasburg for Washington. Had he not gotten hurt, might
• 2:43:12
  Speaker 3: have been an all-time great. The pitch up and in.
• 2:43:18
  Speaker 3: The people that were drafting for the Cleveland Indians back
• 2:43:22
  Speaker 3: then are long gone. But a lot of people's drafting
• 2:43:31
  Speaker 3: departments have changed with everything going on in baseball since 09.
• 2:43:36
  Speaker 3: Shaunawell takes a strike, but you look at the people
• 2:43:40
  Speaker 3: that were drafted ahead of Mike Trout, and you're like, huh?
• 2:43:45
  Speaker 3: Dustin Ackley, Donovan Tate, Tony Sanchez, Matt Hobgood. Those were
• 2:43:53
  Speaker 3: the first five in the draft. The one-two pitch. Swung on,
• 2:43:57
  Speaker 3: yanked to right. That's a base hit for Nolan Shonawell,
• 2:44:01
  Speaker 3: who's two for two. And again, it's easy to look
• 2:44:06
  Speaker 3: back and woulda, coulda, shoulda. But some of the other
• 2:44:09
  Speaker 3: first-round picks in 09 that you might remember that came
• 2:44:14
  Speaker 3: before Mike Trout, Mike Miner, Mike Leak, Zach Wheeler, Drew Storn.
• 2:44:25
  Speaker 3: Alex White was picked by Cleveland 15th. You wonder what
• 2:44:28
  Speaker 3: his career could have been without the finger injury. Jorge
• 2:44:32
  Speaker 3: Soler takes. It's a called strike. But nobody, and I
• 2:44:40
  Speaker 3: mean nobody, is even remotely close in that draft to
• 2:44:44
  Speaker 3: Mike Trout. Two down, runner on, no score, third inning.
• 2:44:49
  Speaker 3: The pitch leans him back, and they count one and one.
• 2:44:52
  Speaker 3: Cleveland will have the 19th pick in the draft this year.
• 2:44:57
  Speaker 3: They had a second first-round pick, but that went to
• 2:45:02
  Speaker 3: San Francisco in the Patrick Bailey trade. Now the pitch,
• 2:45:09
  Speaker 3: and it misses. A little outside, two and one. Soler
• 2:45:13
  Speaker 3: struck out his first time up. Boy, Ciccone throwing with
• 2:45:16
  Speaker 3: better velo tonight than we have seen all season. Runner on.
• 2:45:22
  Speaker 3: Two down for Soler. No score in the third. The pitch.
• 2:45:26
  Speaker 3: A swing and a bullet to left. Down the line.
• 2:45:28
  Speaker 14: Fair.
• 2:45:29
  Speaker 3: Kicks off the sidewall into the corner to Kwon. Hustling
• 2:45:32
  Speaker 3: to third is Shanawell. Throw to second. And a little
• 2:45:36
  Speaker 3: off target by Rocchio to Bazzano where they might have
• 2:45:39
  Speaker 3: had a play on Soler. Solaire gets his seventh double.
• 2:45:44
  Speaker 3: And the Angels have minutes second and third on back-to-back
• 2:45:48
  Speaker 3: two out hits. No scoring again. It's Vaughn Grissom. He
• 2:45:53
  Speaker 3: batted with two down, two on in the first when
• 2:45:55
  Speaker 3: he grounded out. Busy time now for Major League Amateur
• 2:46:05
  Speaker 3: Area Scouts hunting that talent for the draft coming up
• 2:46:08
  Speaker 3: in July. Conference tournaments beginning next week. The pitch, and
• 2:46:15
  Speaker 3: it's in their strength. Then you have the NCAA tournament selection.
• 2:46:22
  Speaker 3: And eventually, a trip to Omaha. Now the 0-1 pitch.
• 2:46:31
  Speaker 3: And Grissom swings through it, 0-2. Wonder if someday... We'll
• 2:46:38
  Speaker 3: see the College World Series capped off by the Major
• 2:46:41
  Speaker 3: League draft. It would seem to make sense, wouldn't.
• 2:46:47
  Speaker 2: It?
• 2:46:47
  Speaker 25: I think right now, the way you have it tied
• 2:46:50
  Speaker 25: to the All-Star game, it's almost too much for one
• 2:46:53
  Speaker 25: of the marquee events in baseball.
• 2:46:55
  Speaker 3: Now the 0-2 pitch.
• 2:46:58
  Speaker 9: High, 1-2.
• 2:46:59
  Speaker 3: Well, now it's Saturday night. So we'll have a full
• 2:47:03
  Speaker 3: slate of baseball on Saturday in the Major Leagues. These
• 2:47:06
  Speaker 3: kids getting drafted. should have the nation's attention. Does the
• 2:47:11
  Speaker 3: NFL play a slate of games under the college draft
• 2:47:14
  Speaker 3: that night? The one-two. Swing! And it is Ciccone with
• 2:47:18
  Speaker 3: a fist bump. 96 mile an hour heater gets Grissom.
• 2:47:23
  Speaker 3: Five strikeouts for Ciccone. Boy, is he throwing hard tonight.
• 2:47:28
  Speaker 3: No score in the middle of the third.
• 2:47:30

• 2:49:27
  Speaker 3: No score, bottom of the third. Angel Martinez takes one
• 2:49:31
  Speaker 3: underneath the arms for ball one. Good-looking youngster in Walbert Ureña,
• 2:49:37
  Speaker 3: 22 years of age. Boy, is he impressive. Six up.
• 2:49:45
  Speaker 3: One reach, double play erased. Next pitch, low, 2-0. Martinez,
• 2:49:51
  Speaker 3: 250 batting mark, five homers, 17 RBIs. The right-handers ready.
• 2:49:58
  Speaker 3: The pitch. And he went again with a changeup. It's
• 2:50:03
  Speaker 3: almost automatic when behind in the count tonight, he goes
• 2:50:07
  Speaker 3: with that low 90s changeup. Now the 2-1 pitch to Martinez.
• 2:50:14
  Speaker 3: A jack swing strike changeup. 2-2. Well, Carmen Grandin of
• 2:50:20
  Speaker 3: North Ridgeville, tonight's Hyundai Grand Slam contestant trying to win
• 2:50:25
  Speaker 3: the Hyundai Kona, courtesy of your Northern Ohio Hyundai dealers,
• 2:50:29
  Speaker 3: visit HyundaiGrandSlam.com to enter. Now the 2-2. Swung on, skied
• 2:50:36
  Speaker 3: in the air, fairly deep right. Near the line. Adele
• 2:50:40
  Speaker 3: at the wall.
• 2:50:40
  Speaker 20: It is gone!
• 2:50:42
  Speaker 3: It just kept carrying. And on Hill Martinez with his
• 2:50:48
  Speaker 3: sixth home run of the campaign. He hit a changeup.
• 2:50:54
  Speaker 3: He tried to triple up on Martinez on the changeup.
• 2:50:59
  Speaker 3: And he wasn't fooled this time. And Cleveland... It's the
• 2:51:04
  Speaker 3: second home run of the year given up by Ureña.
• 2:51:09
  Speaker 3: 1-0 Cleveland here in the third. Patrick Bailey to the plate.
• 2:51:14
  Speaker 3: Switch hitting catcher. He'll bat left-handed. The pitch. A swing
• 2:51:23
  Speaker 3: and a miss. Strike one. Went to the well one
• 2:51:34
  Speaker 3: too many times. The 0-1 to Bailey, and it's downstairs,
• 2:51:39
  Speaker 3: one and one to count. Bailey batting 141, a homer,
• 2:51:47
  Speaker 3: five RBIs with the Giants and Cleveland. The next pitch,
• 2:51:52
  Speaker 3: and it's in there, a strike on a changeup. This
• 2:51:57
  Speaker 3: kid throws his changeup more than any other pitch. And remember,
• 2:52:01
  Speaker 3: he throws his fastball in the upper 90s. He delivers
• 2:52:08
  Speaker 3: and Bailey fouling it back. He came with another changeup.
• 2:52:13
  Speaker 3: The count one and two. So far tonight, Ureña has
• 2:52:18
  Speaker 3: thrown 21 changeups. 12 sinkers, 5 fastballs, 3 sliders. The pitch,
• 2:52:28
  Speaker 3: swing and a foul back. That was the 98-mile-an-hour four-seam fastball.
• 2:52:34
  Speaker 3: And a one-two count on Bailey. Bailey doing a crash
• 2:52:41
  Speaker 3: course in learning this Cleveland pitching staff. The pitch, down low,
• 2:52:46
  Speaker 3: two and two. He'll even catch bullpens this week before
• 2:52:51
  Speaker 3: games just to get more familiar with all 13 pitchers.
• 2:52:57
  Speaker 3: And he's got two great teachers in Austin Hedges and
• 2:53:00
  Speaker 3: David Fry. The pitch to Bailey, and he fouled it off.
• 2:53:09
  Speaker 3: Good changeup that he spoiled. Patrick Bailey was a star
• 2:53:14
  Speaker 3: at North Carolina State University from the day he walked
• 2:53:17
  Speaker 3: on campus in Raleigh. Then the 13th pick in the
• 2:53:22
  Speaker 3: first round by the Giants six years ago. The 2-2.
• 2:53:28
  Speaker 3: Swung on, lined up the middle, caught by Netto! Diving
• 2:53:32
  Speaker 3: into center, the shortstop robbed Bailey of a base hit.
• 2:53:37
  Speaker 3: Nicely done by Zach Netto and Patrick Bailey robbed of
• 2:53:42
  Speaker 3: a base hit. One down, here's Brian Rocchio. He got
• 2:53:48
  Speaker 3: the big hit early last night, a two-out, two-run single
• 2:53:52
  Speaker 3: that eventually led to a 7-0 Cleveland lead. Rocchio batting left-handed.
• 2:54:01
  Speaker 3: The shortstop takes the strike. Acting manager Tony Arnerich, who
• 2:54:08
  Speaker 3: tonight is back as the bench coach, with Steven Vogt
• 2:54:13
  Speaker 3: back in the dugout. That pitch outside, one and one.
• 2:54:17
  Speaker 3: He said to hit Rocchio ahead in the second inning
• 2:54:19
  Speaker 3: with two outs. Absolutely took all the tension out of
• 2:54:24
  Speaker 3: that Cleveland dugout. After a rough weekend against Minnesota, hitting
• 2:54:29
  Speaker 3: in the clutch. The pitch. Swing and a ball that's
• 2:54:33
  Speaker 3: banged by the diving Sean Noel at first into right.
• 2:54:36
  Speaker 3: Rocio with six hits in his last two games and
• 2:54:42
  Speaker 3: one at bat tonight. But Tony Arnert said you could
• 2:54:47
  Speaker 3: just see the tension leave everybody. On that Rokio hit
• 2:54:53
  Speaker 3: last night where it wasn't going to be another case
• 2:54:56
  Speaker 3: of woulda, coulda, shoulda. And then the next inning, Cleveland
• 2:55:00
  Speaker 3: erupted for five. Top of the order, Stephen Kwan, single
• 2:55:05
  Speaker 3: to left his first time up. The set, the pitch,
• 2:55:10
  Speaker 3: and he takes a borderline fastball strike on the outer edge.
• 2:55:18
  Speaker 3: Cleveland now three hits in the game. They lead 1-0
• 2:55:21
  Speaker 3: here in the third. Ureña' s ready. Here it comes. A
• 2:55:27
  Speaker 3: throw to first instead and got off the glove of Shanawell.
• 2:55:31
  Speaker 3: Almost hit the umpire Dan Iasonia. Rolls onto the grass
• 2:55:35
  Speaker 3: and foul ground. Some of the Guardians runners are starting
• 2:55:39
  Speaker 3: to do this. Well, looks like they're playing the game Frogger.
• 2:55:43
  Speaker 3: Jumping back and forth off the bag at first. Sometimes
• 2:55:46
  Speaker 3: you can get caught. In between. The pitch. Up high.
• 2:55:52
  Speaker 3: One and one. You use it to distract the pitcher.
• 2:55:55
  Speaker 3: Sometimes to get a better jump if you're stealing. But
• 2:55:58
  Speaker 3: sometimes you can get caught going the wrong way and
• 2:56:01
  Speaker 3: you're a dead pigeon going back to first. Now the one-one.
• 2:56:09
  Speaker 3: Waved at. One ball, two strikes. Changeup. And Kwon tried
• 2:56:13
  Speaker 3: to hammer one into the seats and right. Now the 1-2.
• 2:56:26
  Speaker 3: Swung on a chopper off the plate toward first. Takes
• 2:56:29
  Speaker 3: a high hop. Shanawell the flip to Ureña covering for
• 2:56:33
  Speaker 3: the out. Rocio to second. Kwon made it close. Here's
• 2:56:37
  Speaker 3: Chase De Lauder. Boy, this is why this game is
• 2:56:40
  Speaker 3: so puzzling. Ureña, who basically hasn't pitched above double A.
• 2:56:47
  Speaker 3: Like I said, a handful of innings in triple A.
• 2:56:51
  Speaker 3: But last year in double A, In his four years
• 2:56:56
  Speaker 3: in the minor leagues, 15-27 with a 4.62 ERA. Big lead,
• 2:57:03
  Speaker 3: Rocchio draws the throw, just did get back with the dive.
• 2:57:07
  Speaker 3: The shortstop, Netto, cut in behind. They almost picked him off.
• 2:57:12
  Speaker 3: You look at those minor league numbers and you go, well,
• 2:57:14
  Speaker 3: how is he going to be successful on the big
• 2:57:18
  Speaker 3: league level? Well, he is all of that and more.
• 2:57:24
  Speaker 3: He is really impressive. Ureña' s ready. The pitch. Down and in,
• 2:57:31
  Speaker 3: ball one. De Lauder hit into a double play his
• 2:57:35
  Speaker 3: first time up. Chase De Lauder batting 4-0-4 over the
• 2:57:44
  Speaker 3: last 14 games. Down to 1-0. Down and in, ball two, 2-0. Boy,
• 2:57:53
  Speaker 3: the respect he's gotten in such a short period of time.
• 2:57:57
  Speaker 3: Chase De Lauder now being pitched to like he's Jose Ramirez. Very,
• 2:58:02
  Speaker 3: very carefully. Ureña, hands at the belt, lets it rip.
• 2:58:09
  Speaker 3: A swing and a foul. He came with a 2-0 changeup,
• 2:58:13
  Speaker 3: and it has just been a consistent trend. Went behind
• 2:58:17
  Speaker 3: in the count, he goes to the changeup. That foul
• 2:58:24
  Speaker 3: ball got a piece of the throwing hand. of the
• 2:58:27
  Speaker 3: young catcher Omar Martinez now the set by Ureña and
• 2:58:39
  Speaker 3: the pitch way outside and low another changeup four straight
• 2:58:52
  Speaker 3: changeups to Chase De Lauder three and one the count
• 2:59:02
  Speaker 3: He has sit changed the pitch. He took it. It
• 2:59:05
  Speaker 3: was a strike on a sinker. 100 miles per hour.
• 2:59:11
  Speaker 3: You can't guess with this guy if he's throwing that hard.
• 2:59:14
  Speaker 3: If you're sitting change up, you can't catch up to
• 2:59:17
  Speaker 3: that fastball. Now the payoff pitch. Swing and a foul
• 2:59:23
  Speaker 3: at the plate. Fought off another 100 mile an hour sinker.
• 2:59:28
  Speaker 3: Where's that been? How in the world is the opposition hitting.
• 2:59:34
  Speaker 3: 455 off his sinker? 1-0 Cleveland, runner at second, two down,
• 2:59:44
  Speaker 3: third inning. And now he steps off, grabs a handful
• 2:59:48
  Speaker 3: of dirt. He really hasn't developed a good breaking ball yet,
• 2:59:59
  Speaker 3: but does he need it? The pitch... Swing and a
• 3:00:03
  Speaker 3: soft fly ball twisting toward the line and left. And
• 3:00:07
  Speaker 3: room there to make the catch just inside the line
• 3:00:10
  Speaker 3: by Lowe, who hands the ball to a fan in
• 3:00:12
  Speaker 3: the seats. Cleveland takes the lead on the Angel Martinez-Homer.
• 3:00:16
  Speaker 3: 1-0 Cleveland after three.
