  Speaker 1: Ron Verb on News Radio 570 WKBN. All right.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Testing 1, 2, 3. Good afternoon and welcome. It's Monday.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Almost the end of September, boys and girls. Welcome to Monday,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: September 28th. It's really, I think, this is the kind
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: of days I like. 68 degrees, overcast. You don't have
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: the sun beating down on you or anything like that.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: It's just a pleasant, almost fall-like day for us right here.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: In my neck of the woods, in the kingdom of Mahoney.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: So wherever you are, whatever you're doing, hope all is
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: well with you. And so we proceed on here. Top
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: secret numbers, as always.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: 330.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Let me see. I've got to do one thing here, gang,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: that I'm just trying to do. There we go.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: 330-729-9977.
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: 330-729-9977.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: We'll get you through to us on NewsRadio 570. Nobody
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: can be in. So keep that in mind. I appreciate
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: those of you that joined us on Friday for my
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: conversation with some of the folks over the years that
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: we're sharing some of our memories of this great radio station.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: It turned 100 years old on Saturday. And some of
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the great stories from Tim Duffy and Dan Rivers. And
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: just was a pleasant afternoon in Bill Kelly for everybody.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: All of us for that afternoon and monumental accomplishments that
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: has taken place 100 years old for this great radio station.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: So it was an interesting day for me. Then there
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: was a get-together on Saturday with, of course, J.D. Williamson,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: who is one of the founder's sons. And obviously there
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: was Warren Williamson Jr. and then Bud Williamson, who passed away.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: The one son and then J.D. Williamson. But it was
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: a nice event, to say the least. And anyway, celebrating
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: 100 years. And boy, time really does go fast, I
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: got to tell you. It just flies, absolutely flies by.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: And remember when you were young and they would tell
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: you that? And you said, oh, that's BS. Seemed like
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: time would drag on forever when you were in high
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: school or when you were in college. Or maybe even
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: when you were in your 20s. Something I'm here to
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: tell you. it's probably when you start to get into
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: your 30s that you will be shocked at how quickly
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: life will go racing by. And I would say that
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: hits about in your 30s, how quickly you go through
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: your 30s. Next thing you know, you're in your 40s.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Next thing you know, you're in your 50s. And it
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: goes very fast, to say the least. And, Jenna, your
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: goal is, as you get older, is to just stay
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: healthy and to stick around. And if you're lucky enough
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: to have children, watch them grow up and see what
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: happens with them. And you want to Stick around as
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: long as you can to enjoy all of that. So anyway,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: needless to say, there you go. Some reflections on our history.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: And for me to be here 41 years, that's a
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: long time of the hundred years, if you think about it.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a good chunk of time to be
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: at this radio station. And that's all good. So what else? Well,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: let me see what awaits me. You're on the air.
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: Ron, I want to go back in time because this
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: morning on our breakfast click coffee gathering at McDonald's, we
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: were talking about cooking.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: There's nothing sad. Now, this is what's sad.
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: We're talking about cooking.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: What is there about when you get old, like you,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: that you've got to meet people at McDonald's? And this
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: goes on everywhere.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: We talk about when we were growing up and how
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: we were raised.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Why do you do that?
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: What we ate.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: It was all about food this morning.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, but don't stop living in the past. I can't
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: get over everybody that lives in the past. Stop living
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: in the past. Look ahead to the future.
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: Well, we don't have much time on our planet in
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: our 70s and 80s, so we reflect on the past.
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: When I was young, I would visit the senior citizens,
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: my relatives and that, and we would all reflect on
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: the past.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: And now I'm reflecting on the past.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: You know, my dad loved mashed potatoes. I grew up
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: on mashed potatoes. Hang on one second.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Jesus, give me the strength to get through this call.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I call on you. It's a moment of prayer for
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: me to be able to get through this. So he
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: wants to talk about going to McDonald's and meeting with
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: a bunch of his old guys, and they're talking about food.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: This is what he wants to share with us today. Jesus,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I don't even think I can take it. I don't
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: care about mashed potatoes.
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: You know how you cook a brisket, beef brisket? You
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: only cook it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: For an hour and a half, two hours.
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: The Lord is not answering my prayers.
• 5:04
  Speaker 9: No.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Stand by. Stand by. Stand by, please. You're on the air.
• 5:09
  Speaker 10: Well, I was three of four this weekend.
• 5:12
  Speaker 8: How about the Browns?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, guess what? It was exciting. It
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: was absolutely exciting. What a great finish. I mean, you know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: like the cardiac kids, like they say, you're sweating this
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: game out to the very end. And as I was
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: saying to Dan Rivers on Friday, I listen to these games.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I'm out and about doing stuff. And I got to
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: tell you, I am liking Siciliano as a play-by-play guy. Yeah,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: he's pretty good, isn't he? Yeah, I'm liking him. Oh,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I forget the color guy's name on there with him.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: But I like that combination. I listen to the games.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: And so what an exciting finish. And I mean, it
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: was right down to the wire. So then I'm listening
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: to the post game show and folks guess who I
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: hear on the post game show.
• 6:00
  Speaker 8: Oh, did you, did you hear me?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, I did. Yes, I did. I heard you on
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the post game show.
• 6:07
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: It was unbelievable to me. I mean, I saw him listening,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: and I'm saying, wait a minute. Where is he? And
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: there he is. There's Dick from Dayton on the postgame show.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: It was incredible.
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they're pretty good, aren't they? You like them?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Yes. Phelps in the postgame show, yes. I think it's
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: really good.
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Hey, how about the Guardians, too?
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: How about that?
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: How about the Guardians? It was two out of three, right?
• 6:34
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Excellent there. The Guardians were excellent, winning two out
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: of three. And the Browns are victorious. It's kind of
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: an exciting time for Cleveland sports, wouldn't you agree? Yeah,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 6:50
  Speaker 10: And, you know, I think they play Thursday night. I
• 6:54
  Speaker 10: hope we get it because I'm going to be watching
• 6:56
  Speaker 10: that on Thursday night.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: It's a quick turnaround. It is a quick turnaround.
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: That's going to be a close game.
• 7:03
  Speaker 10: I think they could win that game, though, don't you?
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: I think they'll win that game.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I have absolutely no idea. I think that they are
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: blessed that they won the game that they just won,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: don't you? Oh, yeah.
• 7:16
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that's good.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was a hell of a weekend, both
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: for the Guardians and for the Browns. There's no question.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Thursday's going to be interesting.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Have a good day, buddy.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: All right, there he is, Dick from Dayton, our official
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: sports prognosticator, incidentally. On the program. So keep that in mind.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Schumer kills bipartisan utility relief and hands Thune a midterm lifeline.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: What could that possibly mean, you're saying? Well, I'll tell
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: you what that means. Let's see. I mean, I don't
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: understand what that's all about, but that's one of the
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: stories that's making headlines. Senate Republicans scrap early exit from
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Washington as midterm stakes soar.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 8:01
  Speaker 13: Thanks.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: It's a calculation by Republicans to keep the Senate in
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: session this week. Yes, the Senate was scheduled to meet
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: anyway over the next few days, but the general consensus
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: earlier last week was that the Senate would be done then,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: and those facing competitive races would be back home campaigning.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Then Wednesday hit. Republicans wanted to stay in Washington for
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: a very specific reason, and many of them told Senate
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Majority Leader John Thune... as much at their weekly luncheon.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Odds are we plan on being here next week. One
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Senate aide said, compared the Senate schedule to a cat
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: chasing a beam of light from a laser pointer. But
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the Senate is in fact meeting. There are reasons. Most
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: of them, they say, are political. The Senate wasn't quite
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: done with the bill to regulate money in intercollegiate athletics
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: last week. Who cares? I mean, really, who cares? This
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: is what's wrong, folks. I want you to hear this.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: So they decided to stay because the Senate wasn't quite
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: done with the bill to regulate money and intercollegiate athletics
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: last week. You have a country that's $ 40- plus trillion in debt.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: You have energy prices soaring, affordability, the big issue, the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: war in Iran, the war in Ukraine, the situation that
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: we have with destruction of some of these refineries in
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the Middle East and in the Ukraine. and to rising
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: oil prices as a result of it. Here's a key, incidentally,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: as we start the broadcast today, people say, it's not
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: necessarily about oil because you don't fill your car with oil.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: You fill it with gasoline. So obviously oil is a
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: component to that. But what these guys are saying is
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: we have a refining problem. Yes, oil is getting more expensive,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: but we have a refining problem. And by doing this
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: destruction that they're doing in Ukraine, that Ukraine is doing
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: in Russia, Which makes you ask the following question. If
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: President Trump says to Zelensky, don't take out the refining
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: capabilities in Russia because it can cause a global crisis,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: So this is the President of the United States telling Zelensky,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: don't mess with the refineries in Russia because you'll create
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: a global energy crisis when it comes to diesel. This
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: is the President of the United States, the country that's
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: been backing him. We've given him billions of dollars in
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: money and in arms. And Zelensky ignores Trump and the
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: President of the United States. He ignores Trump and he
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: does it anyway. And as a result of it, you
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: got sky-high diesel prices. So my question would be, who
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: is Zelensky listening to? If Zelensky doesn't listen to President Trump,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: And he says, don't take out that oil infrastructure or
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: the refining capabilities. And he doesn't anyway. Who is he
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: listening to? Ask yourself that question. Who is he listening to?
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Because what Trump said would happen is happening because of
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: the price of diesel. And the difficulty, not just the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: price of diesel, but potentially the shortage of diesel. Big problem.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Then meanwhile, you have the same situation going on in
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: the Middle East with Iran blasting some of these refineries
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: out or causing some damage in them. And they say
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: it takes a considerable chunk of time. This isn't something
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: you can fix in a week or two. They say
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: the damage it's done to some of these refineries will
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: take a considerable chunk of time to fix. So the
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: situation keeps getting worse. The situation just keeps getting worse.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: And who knows where it's going to head. So they
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: say that there's a potential shortage of diesel fuel. That's
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: why it's costing so much because of what I said.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: That also is home heating oil. So people that heat
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: with oil, which is a substantial number of people in
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the country, God only knows what they're going to have
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: to pay to fill up. A lot of these people
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: have a 250-gallon tank. Some of them have two of them,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: 500 gallons. So can you imagine what it's going to
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: cost them to fill up their tank to heat the
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: winter season? It's going to be astronomical. Absolutely astronomical. Does
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: anybody give a damn about that?
• 12:49
  Speaker 14: So no.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: So you have the Senate. Well, is the Senate there saying,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: because this is my idea, I say, and really as
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: a country, we haven't built any new refineries since the 70s.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Our refining capability, boys and girls, is at 98, almost 99%.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: So there's no buffer there. So we're at full capacity.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: And what we really need is more refining capabilities in
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: the United States of America. We need them here. And
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: it seems to me, this is one of the few
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: times that I would, because usually it's private sector, and
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I'm not a big proponent of private government sector type projects.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: But it seems to me that we should have a
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: mission to build refineries in the United States of America
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: that should be a public-private partnership to get it done
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: almost around the clock. I mean, this stuff should be
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: going on around the clock to build this and to
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: get it done because we don't have any excess refining capabilities.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: As I said, we haven't built any new refineries since
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: the 70s. And all of our refineries deal with heavy crude,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: and we have light crude in the United States. So
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: wouldn't it be nice if we built refineries that can
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: deal solely with light crude? And seriously, work around the clock,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: seven days a week, public-private partnership on it to get
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: these things up and running. Because you have big problems, obviously,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: in Russia with what Zelensky's doing, not listening to Trump.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: And obviously, you've got big problems in the Middle East
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: with the destruction Iran's doing with some of the refineries
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: that are there. So I keep hearing people talk about shortages,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: shortages of diesel, shortages of jet fuel, sky-high prices. No
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: end in sight. And I keep reminding you of that.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: No end in sight. So what's the Senate want to do? Well,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: they stay in session because they want to build or
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: regulate money and intercollegiate athletics. Who gives a damn? Can
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: you imagine that? Who gives a damn? So the article says,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: and with the affordability question vexing Republicans, they really don't
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: want to pass the college sports bill and promptly vacate Washington.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: That would be an awkward punctuation point at the end
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: of the legislative sentence before the midterms. You think? GOPers
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: wanted something more substantial. Democrats might have presented that opportunity
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: to Republicans on a planner. Before the House left for
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: the midterms the week before last, it accentuated its session
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: by passing the Ratepayer Protection Act. And let me tell you,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: not much passes around here with 417 votes. Like their
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Senate colleagues, House Republicans also worried about voters doubting their
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: addressing affordability. So this bill hit the mark for them.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: All right. This article says the legislation defrays the cost
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: rate payers fork out for their utility bills if they're
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: driven up by data centers.
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: What?
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I said the legislation defrays affordability. The cost rate payers
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: fork out for their utility bills if they're driven up
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: by data centers. This forces the tech companies which run
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: the data centers to foot the bill. It's about damn time.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Senator John Husted. is one of the most vulnerable Republicans
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: on the ballot this fall. I could have told you that.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Houston's longtime support for data centers is also dragging him
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: down in the eyes of some voters. Houston tried to
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: fix that. Let me give you some more of this
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: and I'll get to more calls. It's stuff I want
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: you to hear. It's 322 on a Monday afternoon. It's
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: a gorgeous day in my world, I think. 68 degrees.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: I'll be right back. Mike Rowe here with a random fact.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: More than half.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: 570 WKBN. All right, so listen to this.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Anyway, so this legislation defrays the cost to rate payers,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: fork outs for their utility bills if they're driven up
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: by data centers. This forces a tech company which run
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: the data centers to foot the bill. It's about damn time.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Senator John Husted here in Ohio is one of the
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: most vulnerable Republicans on the ballot this fall. His longtime
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: support for data centers is also dragging him down in
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: the eyes of some voters. Not me. I support data centers.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Houston tried to fix that. He went to the floor
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: and asked for the Senate to pass on the spots
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: the House bill. However, this Democrat Senator Martin Heinrich objected,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: blocking the efforts. How dare him? No good. Republicans viewed
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: that as an opening. Democrats stood in the way of
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: passing a bill on affordability, which 417 bipartisan House members
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: supported without blinking. Senate GOPers immediately seized the opportunity as
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: a wedge against their adversaries, and they interpreted this as
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: a chance to assist their Ohio colleague. Teledata centers were
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: happy to have you, but you've got to pay your
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: own electricity. People are not going to pay for it.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: The words of John Kennedy from Louisiana. Republicans are already
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: leery about the uneven political footing when it comes to AI,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: even more so with data centers. Voters are not enamored
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: with the results of the big, beautiful bill passed last summer.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: But dealing with data centers is more immediate and might
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: resonate with those who soured on the Republican brand. It's
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: about time these guys did something. Forget the intercollegiate sports.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: In Missouri, people are absolutely scared to death that these
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: data centers are going to take all the prime farm
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: lands away. And they're going to raise electric bills so
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: high no one will be able to afford it. As
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: well as water bills. Don't forget about the water. The
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: official schedule intended for the Senate's to meet this week.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: But once September hits and no government shutdown looms, senators
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: from both sides, especially those facing challenging elections, wanted to
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: skip Washington and come back home. Let's see. Senator Houston's
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: bill is a fraud. It's voluntary. No company has to
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: do it. The bill we have is mandatory. It is
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: much stronger and is what is needed. Well, I agree.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: It's got to be mandatory. There is something to Schumer's
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: arguments about how muscular the bill is. The legislation says
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: public utility regulators must only consider a standard for rate payers.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Nothing is required. Well, then the bill means nothing. Thus,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: there's wiggle room for the tech firms. So it's a bill...
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: That's an illusion. It's got to be mandatory. This can't
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: be an illusion. What we're saying is that we can
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: do much better, which I would agree with. As opposed to,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: you've got to have a mandatory. But a lot of
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Republicans aren't buying what Schumer is saying. The Democrats' objections
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: are all about three things. Politics, an endangered GOP senator,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: and the most expensive Senate contest in the country. And
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Democrats are hoping to flip the seats in their favor.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: That's right here in Ohio that I'm talking about. So
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: we shall see. We shall see what happens here. Is
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: it about time that these people started doing something? You're
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: on the air.
• 20:28
  Speaker 11: Hi, this is going a little different direction, but you
• 20:32
  Speaker 11: have an opinion on Michael Rooley.
• 20:34
  Speaker 15: Is he a friend of medicine?
• 20:36
  Speaker 11: Because the same, somewhat of the same things, private practices
• 20:41
  Speaker 11: are getting hit by Medicare cuts, but we can't pass
• 20:43
  Speaker 11: on expenses, you know, staff expenses, equipment expenses on to
• 20:48
  Speaker 11: our customers. You know, should the Ohio State Medical Association
• 20:53
  Speaker 11: support him?
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: So you're saying that from a provider standpoint, Medicare, not Medicaid,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: or is it both Medicare and Medicaid? I think both, yeah.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: But Medicare is the insurance for 65 and older. You're
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: saying it doesn't pay out enough.
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: Correct.
• 21:14
  Speaker 11: And it's getting cut next year. About 3%, 3%, 4% cut,
• 21:18
  Speaker 11: but expenses go up.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Cut to what, to the doctor?
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: Correct. the office, yeah.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Well, why are they cutting it?
• 21:33
  Speaker 11: All their budget things that they come up with, they have,
• 21:35
  Speaker 11: I guess, a lot of little different ways to factor
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: in things, and it went up, and then now it's
• 21:44
  Speaker 11: going down.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Here would be what I would argue with that. Before
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: we make any cuts in reimbursements to doctors that are
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: doing the right thing, okay, let's start by finding all
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: the fraud that is taking place. I mean, that's where
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: including with doctor's offices that are running tests or doing
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: things that they shouldn't be doing or billing for things
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: that they shouldn't be. I would say you have to
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: start by having an analysis and find all the fraud
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: and then arrest and prosecute the doctors or the offices
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: that are engaging in that. And then we can reassess
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: whether or not there's enough money to that. We have
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: to make cuts. Don't when you think that would be
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: how we should do this.
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: Sure.
• 22:24
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 22:25
  Speaker 10: Agree.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Agree.
• 22:26
  Speaker 11: Yeah. I just want to make sure he's, you know,
• 22:27
  Speaker 11: I don't know if you have an opinion, if he
• 22:30
  Speaker 11: is more on the side of insurance companies and pharmacy.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: I have no idea.

  Speaker 17: News Radio 570 WKVN.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: A bipartisan push is underway to ban nondisclosure agreements for
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: data centers. Ohio Democratic Representative Greg Lansman. In Michigan, Republican
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: Tom Barrett co-sponsored the No Secrets for Data Centers Act,
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: forcing all deals involving these facilities.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: To be made public.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: Several states have NDAs signed with these companies, but if
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: it becomes law, those are now void. Lansman has also
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: introduced the No Harm Data Centers Act and the Protecting
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: Families from AI Data Center Energy Cost Act. Toledo homeless
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: shelter officials sound the alarm. They're running out of space,
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: and it's not even winter yet. City zoning laws only
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: allow overnight sleeping in approved buildings. Over 500 people last
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: winter needed warming centers just to survive. Toledo City Council
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: will hear about this issue and possibly create solutions sometime
• 23:29

  Speaker 2: All right, NewsRadio 570, WKBN. Ron Verbier on the air.
• 23:51
  Speaker 18: Hey, Ron, how you doing?
• 23:54
  Speaker 10: Good, sir.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, please.
• 23:56
  Speaker 12: Hey, back to what you started out talking about, and
• 23:58
  Speaker 12: I might have missed some of it if you've mentioned.
• 24:00
  Speaker 19: It, but since 2008, 20 refineries in this country have
• 24:03
  Speaker 19: shut down. And since, in the last 10 years, I
• 24:12
  Speaker 19: think it was 13 refineries.
• 24:14
  Speaker 14: Why?
• 24:14
  Speaker 10: That can't help.
• 24:15
  Speaker 14: I don't know, but.
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: I looked it up.
• 24:18
  Speaker 12: I've seen a couple of posts on Facebook about it,
• 24:21
  Speaker 12: and then I wanted to double-check, and, you know, Facebook
• 24:26
  Speaker 12: isn't always true, you know. So I looked it up
• 24:28
  Speaker 12: and double-checked. So that'd be something interesting to ask your
• 24:32
  Speaker 12: smart friends like G3 and stuff.
• 24:34
  Speaker 10: Why, or G2, why.
• 24:39
  Speaker 12: These refineries that shut down are probably old, outdated, whatnot,
• 24:42
  Speaker 12: but why not revamp them, build new ones? I mean,
• 24:45
  Speaker 12: it's probably EPA, Billy B.S. that the Democrats pushed in
• 24:51
  Speaker 12: these blue states, but I'm curious to know why 20
• 24:55
  Speaker 12: refineries have been shut down in the last 15 years.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: In the United States. Now, let me go over here.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: When was the last refinery built in the United States?
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Did it to... 75.
• 25:13
  Speaker 12: Or something like that.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Existing refineries have added capacity through upgrades and new constructions.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: So they say they've added capacity, but they're not new places. However,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: the newest refinery with significant downstream unit capacity is Marathon's
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: facility in Louisiana. That facility came online in 1977. Think
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: of that.
• 25:41
  Speaker 20: Right.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's your problem. Don't you think, though, in
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: all reality, if we're running our refineries at 98% capacity,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: don't you think we should have a public refinery private
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: partnership to work around the clock to build additional refineries?
• 25:58
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yes, yes, I do.
• 26:02
  Speaker 21: The point is 20 of them have shut down. So
• 26:05
  Speaker 21: if they would have revamped them and got them operating
• 26:09
  Speaker 21: better and more efficiently, we'd be golden as far as.
• 26:15
  Speaker 12: The capacity here in the United States.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why they shut down. That's a
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: good question. I mean, I don't know if they– I
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: did learn something, though, just in talking to you. So
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: some of the existing refineries have been added on to.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: But as I said, you were still at 98% refining
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: capacity in the United States. Did you know this? I
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: got a little trivia for you. Do you know the
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: only country that has a 30% cushion on refining capabilities
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: is China? It's China. So they have so many refineries,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: they've got a 30% cushion. In other words, they're not
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: running at capacity.
• 26:51
  Speaker 12: They build new power plants left and right, new nuke plants,
• 26:54
  Speaker 12: new coal plants. They just build whatever they want over
• 26:57
  Speaker 12: there because.
• 26:57
  Speaker 10: The EPA hounds them over regulations.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're our own worst enemy. Wouldn't you agree
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: with that? I mean, if China's doing all of that
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff and we're not, where do you think
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: if we're at capacity or there's a problem, where do
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: you think a lot of fuel is going to get
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: refined at? Communist China, wouldn't you think?
• 27:19
  Speaker 13: Yes, sir.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is ridiculous to me, this whole scenario.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: So here's my other question to you. If Zelensky doesn't
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: listen to President Trump when he says don't blow up
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: the refineries in Russia, and he does it anyway, then
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: who is Zelensky listening to?
• 27:38
  Speaker 12: He's on his own program doing whatever the hell he
• 27:42
  Speaker 12: wants to do on the daily.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: I find that hard to believe, though. I really find
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: it hard to believe. I just don't think that that's
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: what he's all about. Somebody's orchestrating this. And you know
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: as well as I do, the United States is telling
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: him a lot of what to do. It's our intelligence
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: and that kind of stuff. We're as thick as thieves
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: with Ukraine.
• 28:05
  Speaker 12: But if we're telling him what to do, why didn't
• 28:06
  Speaker 12: he listen when he said, hey, leave the refineries alone?
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a good question.
• 28:12
  Speaker 14: I mean, so.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: He didn't listen to President Trump. So would this be
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: a conflict between, let's say, the intelligence community and President Trump,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: that he's listening to an intelligence community that doesn't support
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: the president? I don't know. I'm asking questions. I don't know.
• 28:29
  Speaker 18: Far above my pay grade, sir.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: All right. You sound like an intelligent man. I thought
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: you would have the answers.
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: One more thing I wanted to mention to you.
• 28:36
  Speaker 12: I listened to your show the other day with the—
• 28:40
  Speaker 12: The 100th anniversary show?
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 28:41
  Speaker 12: That was very, very entertaining and informative, and I really
• 28:46
  Speaker 12: enjoyed listening to the entire show. Great job.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it. I really appreciate it. Thank you for
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: listening to it. Appreciate you. All right. Isn't that an
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: enjoyable celebration, to say the least? Something strange is going
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: on in this situation. That's all I'm saying. Something just
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: doesn't add up. Zelensky's not listening to Trump, so who's
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: he listening to? Because he knows what he did is
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: creating a worldwide shortage in economic situation when it comes
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: to diesel. And obviously you know that Iran is going
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: to use, that it's going to blow up some of
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: these refineries in the Middle East. because they want oil
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: prices to go up here in the United States. So
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: they want to sock it to us economically. And their
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: goal is obviously they want to rattle you for the
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: midterms so that you vote for these crazies, the Democrats, Socialists,
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: and the Democrats. And they're just crazy. They're absolutely crazy.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: And Ted the Conservative is absolutely right when he says,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: how could you vote for a Democrat? Because they are
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: part of that crazy agenda. And it is nuts. And
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: you think I want to go back to that agenda?
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not. Because we know they hate fossil fuels. We
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: know where they stand. They hate fossil fuels. We know it.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: They want to regulate them right out of business. Hell,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Biden said it himself. And take a look at what
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: they did to our coal-fired electric plants in Ohio. And
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: I realize as pissed as you can be, and I
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: understand the affordability issue, as troubling as it can be
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: for all of us, to vote against the Republicans is
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: a major mistake because you're just voting for the crazies,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: as Bill Maher says. And I totally agree with it.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: You're just voting for the crazies if you vote for
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: the Democrats.
• 31:04
  Speaker 20: Yes.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Because it's just a bad agenda. And absolutely bad. You
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: get the wackos. And that's what's left in a Democrat party.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: You're on air.
• 31:16
  Speaker 14: I'll tell you one thing Trump was right about. What
• 31:21
  Speaker 14: was his name? The guy with the chainsaw. I can't
• 31:24
  Speaker 14: think of his name right now. The Tesla guy.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Elon Musk.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:28
  Speaker 14: Back then, they said, well, you're going to have to suffer.
• 31:31
  Speaker 14: So evidently, he was right on that.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: You mean who's going to suffer? You mean us?
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: We are.
• 31:38
  Speaker 14: Because with our policies, well, they're going to have to
• 31:40
  Speaker 14: suffer for a while. And so we're really suffering.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Well, you're damn right, as far as Iran is concerned.
• 31:46
  Speaker 14: Well, they were right, though, right? They were right. They
• 31:48
  Speaker 14: said you're going to suffer.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: That's right. You're suffering.
• 31:51
  Speaker 13: Well, how do you like it?
• 31:52
  Speaker 14: How do you like it, big boy?
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Well, as far as I'm concerned, I don't agree with
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Trump on the war. Now, I always put the comma
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: in there just as a side note, folks, and I
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: always say this with that being said. I don't have all– obviously,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: I don't have the information that Rubio and Trump have
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: about this situation. You've got to acknowledge that. We can
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: all have opinions. I don't have the– nor do any
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: of you have any of the inside information. I personally
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: thought the bunker buster probably was very effective when it
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: comes to Iran. I don't know what information, nor do
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: you know what they've had that caused Trump to say–
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take this on and do this anyway,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: because let me tell you a true story. This guy
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: brings up an interesting point. Joe Biden was against when
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Osama bin Laden was taken out by Obama. Joe Biden
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: said to Obama, do not do it. I wouldn't do it.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: He was against it because it could, if it didn't
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: go well, it would destroy his presidency. This was Joe
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Biden talking to Obama. And Obama said, I'm going to
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: do it anyway because this is more important than my reelection. Well,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: some people say that the same thing is applying here today.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: that Trump says, I understand that this is going to
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: cause some pain at the pump. It might even cost
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: me the midterms. But this is more important than anything
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: as far as his opinion. So I don't know. Is
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: it one of those situations? It could be. I mean,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: my initial thought, which I'd say this caller is, I'm
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: opposed to this. I think it's only opinion. He was
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: swayed into it by Israel. And I just think it
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: was a major mistake. But I don't know everything they know.
• 33:32
  Speaker 14: And then he represented the United States. He's in such
• 33:36
  Speaker 14: a corner, he just cannot get out. And they can't
• 33:38
  Speaker 14: figure out how to get out.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: I agree with that. That would also be my opinion.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: But there is that possibility that they know something we
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 33:48
  Speaker 11: So let's suffer together.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Well, there is a cost to be paid for it.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: You know, you can say let's suffer together. We are suffering.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it. But you always got to
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: put that comment in there. He might know something we
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: don't know. So in general, though, when you say suffer together,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: you certainly wouldn't be better off with the Democrats in
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: charge of anything. They hate fossil fuels. They hate drilling.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: They hate fossil fuels. And they make it. There's no
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: doubt they speak it. You're on the air.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 34:27
  Speaker 14: Hello. Yes, go ahead. Yes.
• 34:30
  Speaker 22: So, you know, I was thinking about this. Like, it
• 34:34
  Speaker 22: appears somebody is giving Zelensky both money and.
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: Direction as to what to do in the Ukraine.
• 34:41
  Speaker 18: Yes.
• 34:41
  Speaker 22: So I'm wondering who's giving money to.
• 34:44
  Speaker 10: Iran, Iraq, to not make peace.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: You mean Iran?
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: Yes, right.
• 34:51
  Speaker 14: I mean, I always confuse the two of them.
• 34:54
  Speaker 18: Sorry about that.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: No problem.
• 34:55
  Speaker 22: But, yeah, it's like there's no reason they shouldn't have
• 34:59
  Speaker 22: made peace. We're blowing the heck out of them. I
• 35:01
  Speaker 22: think somebody, George Soros maybe, is saying don't make peace
• 35:05
  Speaker 22: until after the midterms and is throwing lots of money
• 35:08
  Speaker 22: at their leadership because why else wouldn't they?
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Well, let me lay this theory on you. Why wouldn't they?
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Because I say all Iran has to do is survive.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: I say it again. That's all they have to do
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: to win is simply survive. And I think that's what
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: their goal is. And I think their philosophy is let's
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: survive and cause the United States pain and see if
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: we can screw the midterms up. by getting Democrats elected,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: and then we'll win because the Democrats will be, I
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: don't know, pansies about it, I suppose, is how they think.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: I think that might be their strategy. I agree with that.
• 35:54
  Speaker 22: But I also think that the same people that funded
• 35:56
  Speaker 22: Antifa and funded Black Lives Matter and funded Ukraine are saying,
• 36:02
  Speaker 22: how can we hurt Trump? Let's keep the war going
• 36:04
  Speaker 22: until after the midterm.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: You could be right.
• 36:06
  Speaker 8: The economy's stupid.
• 36:08
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: You could be 100% right. I'm with you. All right.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Excellent observation. Thank you. You're on the air.
• 36:15
  Speaker 10: I think he nailed it. That's what's happening. I think
• 36:18
  Speaker 10: he nailed it.
• 36:20
  Speaker 12: Really?
• 36:21
  Speaker 14: Oh, yeah.
• 36:22
  Speaker 10: I think so. And listen, by the way, Trump just
• 36:25
  Speaker 10: announced this company coming in, investing $ 18 trillion in Iowa.
• 36:35
  Speaker 10: To build the largest steel mill in the world. And
• 36:38
  Speaker 10: using the iron ore from Minnesota. He just announced it.
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: How about that?
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: I think it's great. I mean, I hear these announcements.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: I just want to see them materialize.
• 36:47
  Speaker 10: Well, it takes time to build a steel plant, Rob.
• 36:50
  Speaker 10: But I tell you what.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Listen, I know it takes time. I'll give them to
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: the end of next month.
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, right.
• 36:56
  Speaker 10: Listen, I'm upset because nobody's focusing on the Mahoney Valley.
• 37:01
  Speaker 10: And in western Pennsylvania, we were the best steel makers
• 37:07
  Speaker 10: in the world here.
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: We built the best steel in the world here.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Well, that's true.
• 37:13
  Speaker 10: I don't understand why politicians don't tell Trump, hey, come
• 37:18
  Speaker 10: over here and bring 18 trillion over here. You know
• 37:21
  Speaker 10: what that would do to this area, Ron?
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but, I mean, the area's doing pretty good.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, when you.
• 37:29
  Speaker 10: No, no, no, listen, listen.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: What do you mean, no?
• 37:32
  Speaker 10: Listen to me.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: I'm listening.
• 37:35
  Speaker 10: Listen to me. Listen, I'm talking, you're listening on WKVN.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm doing it.
• 37:39
  Speaker 10: All right. I have been excited about this AI. If
• 37:44
  Speaker 10: it's done properly, like you and I both agree, I
• 37:47
  Speaker 10: agree with you and you agree with me. You know,
• 37:49
  Speaker 10: certain things have to be done, okay?
• 37:51
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 37:52
  Speaker 10: But the bottom line is, even if that all was
• 37:55
  Speaker 10: taken care of, we live in the most negative valley
• 37:59
  Speaker 10: in all of America because people still don't want it.
• 38:02
  Speaker 10: It doesn't matter. Ron, I handed all the objections. I
• 38:07
  Speaker 10: talked to the mayor on Sunday. He came to our church.
• 38:11
  Speaker 10: I talked to him, and it sounded like he was
• 38:12
  Speaker 10: getting bombarded with negative, like you're going to destroy our city.
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: No, no, no, no.
• 38:17
  Speaker 10: We're going to figure out a spot. We're going to
• 38:19
  Speaker 10: build it. They're going to create their own power. They're
• 38:22
  Speaker 10: going to clean the water. No, he doesn't say all that.
• 38:25
  Speaker 10: He just bows to the negative people of the Valley.
• 38:28
  Speaker 10: You know, because you need city council and you.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: Need the commissioners.
• 38:35
  Speaker 10: You need a team of people working with you. And
• 38:37
  Speaker 10: he doesn't have it. And nobody wants it.
• 38:39
  Speaker 8: Nobody wants it.
• 38:40
  Speaker 10: But here's the thing. They're going to raise your taxes
• 38:43
  Speaker 10: on water.
• 38:44
  Speaker 14: That's right.
• 38:45
  Speaker 10: Your water bill is going to.
• 38:46
  Speaker 11: Go up, Ron.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but when they said about that, it's not
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: going to go up very much. I don't care.
• 38:54
  Speaker 10: More tax, it never goes down.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: Well, wait a minute here. Just sit tight for a second.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: If you heard what the MVSD said, they had had
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: an increase for quite some time, and their expenses have
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: gone up. Their maintenance, their expenses have gone up, and
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: it's a moderate increase based on your water usage. So
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: they can't sit stagnant and absorb all of the inflation
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: around them. No, no, I agree. So you're making it
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: into something it's not. I mean, I thought the MVSD
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: had a pretty sound argument as to why they need
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: to increase shortfall. water rates based on inflation. What I'm
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: saying to you is I'm with you in a sense
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: of I think these people that are putting moratoriums on
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: data centers, it's ridiculous. As I've said a million times,
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: I want them, bring them. They can offset your rates.
• 39:50
  Speaker 10: On brownfield and mcdonald you know where the steel mills
• 39:53
  Speaker 10: used to be and they got a problem with.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: That yeah the only thing i say is once again
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: you have to show that you can provide your own
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: power so it doesn't cost us more money for electricity
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: and you and you have to show us how much
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: water you're going to use and how you're going to
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: treat it so we know that it's safe On its return.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: And zero any tax abatement at all. There will be
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: no tax abatements. We've got the perfect weather. We've got
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: the perfect infrastructure. We've got the great transmission lines here.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: This is the sweet spot. We don't have to kiss
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: their arse. So you and I agree. We don't disagree.
• 40:31
  Speaker 8: We agree.
• 40:33
  Speaker 10: I'm just letting you know that the people in this
• 40:36
  Speaker 10: valley are so negative, they're not going to let it happen,
• 40:39
  Speaker 10: and then we're going to keep on getting tax increases.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: I think you might be right. I think you're right.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: I thought I'd never utter those words. All right, back

• 41:40
  Speaker 2: about coming up. Tonight at 6 o'clock, we'll talk with
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: the guys from Rockport's Truth in Investing show, Rockport Wealth Advisors.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: That's tonight from 6 to 7 on NewsRadio 570 WKBN
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: with Joe Kovach and Adam Stalnaker. They'll be giving you
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: some financial insight, if you will. That'll be tonight from
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: 6 to 7. And how about when Dick was talking, incidentally,
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: about the Guardians? And I don't know what the schedule
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: is on them, but at least we're in the playoffs.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: All right? So that's the good news as far as
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: that is concerned. So keep that in mind. All right?
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Let me see. Where should I go? Let me just
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: go to the top of the phone bank and work
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: down because I lost my way. You're on air.
• 42:23
  Speaker 18: Hey, how are you doing there, Ron?
• 42:24
  Speaker 14: Good, sir.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: Good. Go ahead.
• 42:27
  Speaker 16: Hey, great show as always. I just wanted to make
• 42:30
  Speaker 16: a comment. You know, some of these people that call
• 42:32
  Speaker 16: into your show that seem to be, you know, so negative.
• 42:36
  Speaker 16: I mean, they're always the same people. And they seem
• 42:38
  Speaker 16: to be, no matter how good, there's a lot of
• 42:43
  Speaker 16: things going on out there in the country. Of course,
• 42:44
  Speaker 16: the media doesn't present it. It doesn't put it in
• 42:46
  Speaker 16: the news. There's so much good that's going on that
• 42:49
  Speaker 16: has happened. But they seem almost overjoyed. When there's something
• 42:55
  Speaker 16: against Trump, and especially with these elections coming up, and
• 42:59
  Speaker 16: you hit it right on the head earlier when you said,
• 43:02
  Speaker 16: you know, if you're talking about worrying about paying a
• 43:04
  Speaker 16: buck more or something for gas right now, how much
• 43:07
  Speaker 16: worse would it have been had Paris got in, or
• 43:11
  Speaker 16: how much worse is it going to be if the
• 43:13
  Speaker 16: Democrats take control? They're going to do nothing but destroy
• 43:16
  Speaker 16: this country, and they, as much as said it, I
• 43:19
  Speaker 16: don't understand what is wrong with people. I think somebody said,
• 43:23
  Speaker 16: do you hate Trump more than you love your country
• 43:27
  Speaker 16: or your family or your livelihood? These people are absolutely crazy.
• 43:32
  Speaker 16: And I think the people that vote for them are crazy.
• 43:34
  Speaker 16: I can disagree to disagree with people. We can disagree
• 43:37
  Speaker 16: on policies and things like that. But these people are
• 43:41
  Speaker 16: off their rockers if they think the Democrats get control,
• 43:43
  Speaker 16: that somehow that's going to be great for this country
• 43:46
  Speaker 16: and or for this world, per se.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: I'm with you. I'm with you 100%. As much as
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: I bellyache and might disagree with the situation in Iran,
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: I will not, under no circumstances, vote for Sherrod Brown. Period. Ever.
• 44:00
  Speaker 18: That's a great one.
• 44:01
  Speaker 14: All right. Thank you very much.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Callers on the line, stand by. Back with more.

• 44:27
  Speaker 15: President Trump says U.S.
• 44:28
  Speaker 23: Officials have spoken to Iran through mediators today after he
• 44:32
  Speaker 23: rejected the latest Iranian ceasefire proposal.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: We're going to win.
• 44:35
  Speaker 20: As far as I'm concerned, it's going to be one
• 44:38
  Speaker 20: way or the other.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: It's going to go pretty quickly.
• 44:41
  Speaker 23: Also saying that when it's over, gas prices will come
• 44:44
  Speaker 23: tumbling down. Iran's most recent proposal had a number of conditions,
• 44:48
  Speaker 23: including ending a U.S.
• 44:50
  Speaker 15: Blockade of Iranian ports.
• 44:52
  Speaker 23: The president also telling reporters he was surprised that five
• 44:55
  Speaker 23: terror suspects arrested yesterday in England have been released on bail.
• 45:00
  Speaker 23: The men, all UK nationals, were arrested on suspicion of
• 45:03
  Speaker 23: terrorism and explosives offenses near an airbase used by the U.S.
• 45:08
  Speaker 17: And England.
• 45:08
  Speaker 15: Counterterrorism officials leading that investigation.
• 45:11
  Speaker 24: They are considering every possible angle. This includes if there
• 45:15
  Speaker 24: are links to Iran as the base is used by
• 45:17
  Speaker 24: the U.S. Air Force in its campaign against Iran. Well,
• 45:20
  Speaker 24: counterterror police said, quote, that this may be activity committed
• 45:24
  Speaker 24: by proxies or individuals either knowingly or unknowingly working on
• 45:28
  Speaker 24: behalf of a foreign state.
• 45:30
  Speaker 23: Fox's Stephanie Bennett, Iran has said bases used to attack
• 45:34
  Speaker 23: it are legitimate targets, but the Iranian embassy in London
• 45:37
  Speaker 23: is condemning any claims of possible involvement. President Trump taking
• 45:41
  Speaker 23: questions during an announcement about a $ 15 billion investment planned

  Speaker 26: Ron Verb. On News Radio 570, WKBN.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: Back to the phone lines momentarily. But how does this
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: make a lick of sense to anybody, incidentally? Now, this
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: is obviously out of London. Police have arrested five British nationals.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: You just heard on the newscast, right? In conjunction with
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: a massive security operation near a base used by U.S.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Air Force to facilitate strikes in Iran. The counterterrorism officials
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: running the operation said Monday, the five men, all from
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: London and in their early to mid-20s, were arrested Sunday
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: on suspicion of terrorism and explosive offenses after three suspect
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: vehicles were seen moving toward RAF Fairford, a Royal Air
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: Force station, about 90 minutes west of London. Dozens of
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: homes were evacuated in the early morning and a large
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: emergency presence was was seen around the installation, shaking the
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: normally quiet area. But after extensive interviews and inquiries, the
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: head of the counterterrorism policing, Lawrence Taylor, said Monday that
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: they had been released on bail. Adding, that does not
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: mean the investigation is over. So, I'm listening to this
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: in a story at 4 o'clock, so you have these
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: terrorism suspects and you release them on bail? How does
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: that make a lick of sense? Oh, they say, but
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: they're subject to stringent conditions on their movements and contact
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: with others. Oh, that's good to know. Earlier, a local
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: farmer recounted how she had seen a large group of
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: hooded and masked men early Sunday. When they saw me,
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: they ran ahead of me, some into the field and
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: some towards the neighboring villages. The farmer speaking told BBC
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: News on Monday, I then realized that something highly unusual
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: was taking place. Ask if British authorities knew of the threat.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: ahead of time or only became aware after being called
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: by a concerned farmer as has been reported the defense
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: minister told broadcast Sky News on Monday that the member
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: of the public did the right thing and acted quickly
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: so I would take that as that's how they figured
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: it out The Prime Minister said he would chair a
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: meeting of government's emergency committees later Monday to make sure
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: we have the full picture. A grainy image has also
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: emerged appearing to show the suspects. The photo, which began
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: circulation on social media Sunday morning, shows the five men
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: sitting on the ground shirtless and apparently handcuffed. They are
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: flanked by armed officers. The image was geolocated to near
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: RAF Fairford by NBC News. NBC News could not locate
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: the original source of the photo. Another image showing three
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: white vans near the airbase is also circulated online. Fuel2U,
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: a UK fuel delivery company, said in a statement that
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: a version of its logo appeared on one of the vehicles,
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: adding that neither the vehicle nor any of the individuals
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: involved has any connection to it. We're extremely concerned that
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: our company's name has been used without our knowledge or permission.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: After the operation prompted questions about the possible link to Iran,
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: the country's embassy in London denied the country was involved.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: Of course, what do you expect them to confess? The
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in London categorically
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: rejects and strong condemns the recent unfounded allegations, of course.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: So let's see. But how do you release those guys
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: on bail? This is weird. But it's the UK. You're
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: on the air.
• 51:12
  Speaker 7: Morning.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: Yes. Unknown caller.
• 51:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah. Hey, yeah, first of all, the Brownies, if you
• 51:19
  Speaker 9: would have told me they would have been 2-1 at
• 51:22
  Speaker 9: this point in the season, I would have laughed at you.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't think anybody knows for sure, but it
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: was a hell of a game, but it wasn't over
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: until it was over. I mean, you've got to admit.
• 51:35
  Speaker 18: Very exciting.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: Very exciting. Yeah.
• 51:38
  Speaker 9: And the Guardians clinched it. Yeah, that's good. I called
• 51:44
  Speaker 9: about the oil stuff, but, yeah, the terrorists in London,
• 51:49
  Speaker 9: they said they were citizens or, you know, what nationality
• 51:57
  Speaker 9: are they?
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: Didn't it say that they were– Let's see. What did
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: it say? It said here at the beginning, I thought.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: What did it say here? Police have arrested five British nationals. Well,
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: that's all it says. That doesn't really let me know. Right.
• 52:18
  Speaker 9: I mean, them countries have been taken over for years already.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, wouldn't you want to ask the
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: question as to what you're telling me? These are terrorist
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: suspects and you released them on bail. Does that make
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: sense to anybody listening?
• 52:33
  Speaker 14: Right, exactly.
• 52:34
  Speaker 9: That's some crazy....
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: Left-wing loons in the UK. I mean, it's insanity.
• 52:43
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah.
• 52:44
  Speaker 9: And it's coming here if we're not careful.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Well, see, that's the point. That's why I keep saying
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: the same thing, to say, hey, listen, as pissed as
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: I can get at Trump over the Iran situation or
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: when he says some stupid stuff about the Kennedy Center
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: or the Iran situation or whatever... He's done more good
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: than bad by far. I mean, he's been an effective president.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: And does anybody think that the answer would be voting
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: for any of these Democrats that are just absolute lunatics?
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: As Bill Maher says, why would I vote for crazy?
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: And that's Bill Maher saying it.
• 53:21
  Speaker 18: Yeah, exactly.
• 53:23
  Speaker 9: And how about the fake news being banned? And then
• 53:27
  Speaker 9: they got back into the White House, but then they
• 53:29
  Speaker 9: weren't allowed on Air Force One.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: He just thinks that they got such a bias against him.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: What's the point?
• 53:39
  Speaker 25: Right, right.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, just be fair, I think, is what he's
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: trying to say, hopefully.
• 53:48
  Speaker 9: Honestly, one of the greatest accomplishments that Trump has done
• 53:52
  Speaker 9: has exposed the bias in the media and the Democratic
• 53:58
  Speaker 9: control over the media.
• 54:00
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 54:02
  Speaker 9: I mean, just the spin, like, you know, what's his name? Bill,
• 54:05
  Speaker 9: you say, no spinzo.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: Right, Bill O'Reilly.
• 54:09
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Bill O'Reilly, yeah. But I heard recently that I
• 54:16
  Speaker 9: think it's around 40 refineries used to be in California,
• 54:23
  Speaker 9: and they're, like, down below 10 now. And because of, basically,
• 54:28
  Speaker 9: the crazy over-regulation in California. And, yeah, if you want California,
• 54:35
  Speaker 9: you know, to spread over the United States, vote Democrat.
• 54:39
  Speaker 9: They're crazy out there, and they'll ruin the United States
• 54:43
  Speaker 9: just like they did California.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, is that what you want? I mean,
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: you know, like this idea, hey, John Husted is not
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: the perfect candidate. And I don't think anybody can say, boy,
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: I'm enthusiastically looking forward to voting for John Husted. You're
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: really voting for the Republican philosophy over the Democrat philosophy.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: Does anybody think that the Democrat philosophy is actually a
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: good choice? You know where they are on all the
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: social issues. You know where they are on energy. They
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: hate fossil fuels. They don't want you drilling offshore or
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: on federal lands. We know where they are in energy.
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: We know where they are in a social agenda. I mean, well,
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: we should hire based on your skin color if you're
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: transgender or all this kind of stuff. Forget the merit stuff.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just lunacy. And Sherrod Brown is there
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: all along supporting us during his tenure when he was
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: the senator, and he wants to be it again. And
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking, well, you were senator for, what, 30 years?
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: And now you're running like you've never been there before?
• 55:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he's got to.
• 55:46
  Speaker 9: Fix everything now. I mean, just think, under the conservative
• 55:51
  Speaker 9: number of 10 million people that Joe Biden let in
• 55:54
  Speaker 9: under his four-year reign, how many terrorists, like, just came in?
• 55:59
  Speaker 9: You know, and are there, you know, what do they
• 56:02
  Speaker 9: call it, sleeper cells? There's probably sleeper cells all over
• 56:05
  Speaker 9: the place. Every major city probably got one.
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: I would agree with that.
• 56:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 56:12
  Speaker 9: Hey, but yeah, getting back to the pipeline, though, I guess, like,
• 56:18
  Speaker 9: I don't know, maybe around 2014 or 15, Governor Newsom
• 56:26
  Speaker 9: shut down some kind of pipeline for offshore oil because
• 56:33
  Speaker 9: maybe there was an oil spill or something. And I
• 56:36
  Speaker 9: think that really affected the refineries. They They didn't have
• 56:41
  Speaker 9: enough oil to refine, plus the overregulation. And I think
• 56:46
  Speaker 9: Trump tried to get that pipeline open again maybe last year.
• 56:52
  Speaker 9: I don't know if he was successful or not. He
• 56:55
  Speaker 9: did some kind of one of his mandates, but then
• 56:59
  Speaker 9: everybody fights him on it. So I don't even know what.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: Happened with that. What was the name of the pipeline
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: that Biden shut down? which was going to bring the oil, sand,
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: or whatever down from Canada. What was the name of
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: that one?
• 57:13
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: Remember that? I mean, did Trump ever open that thing
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: back up? I don't know. But the Canadian pipeline, during
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: Trump's first term, he was build it, baby, build it.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: And then when Biden came in, he shut it down.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: And so is it back open again? I mean, this
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: is insanity based on the policies of the Democrats themselves.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: With energy.
• 57:38
  Speaker 9: Like the previous caller said, who knows where George Soros'
• 57:43
  Speaker 9: money is going? I think on that pipeline, I can't,
• 57:49
  Speaker 9: the name escapes me, but didn't they get like the
• 57:52
  Speaker 9: Indian Reservation to go against it or something to shut
• 57:57
  Speaker 9: it down so they couldn't travel across there?
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: It was the Keystone Pipeline, Keystone Pipeline.
• 58:02
  Speaker 18: Okay.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but remember, Trump had that up and running during
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: his first term. And then it was shut down with Biden. Well,
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: is it up and running again? I don't know the
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: answer to that. I mean, you know, I mean, what
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: would and you could could you blame him if they
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: said to hell with it? Because we could do so much.
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: And let's say Trump loses and the Democrats back in.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: Are they going to close it all down again? I mean,
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: there's no consistency here.
• 58:30
  Speaker 9: Like you're saying, the Democrats with their crazy policies, just
• 58:33
  Speaker 9: like the new green scam. And then they get this,
• 58:37
  Speaker 9: what do you call it, caricatures of, you know, these,
• 58:41
  Speaker 9: like Gavin Newsom. These guys' hair is slicked back and he,
• 58:44
  Speaker 9: you know, he talks kind of smooth. And that's what
• 58:47
  Speaker 9: the people go for. That's what they're voting on, you know.
• 58:51
  Speaker 9: Just like, oh, yeah, he seems like a handsome, you know,
• 58:55
  Speaker 9: smooth-talking guy. And they don't even know what his policies are.
• 58:59
  Speaker 9: or who's controlling them with their backdoor money.
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: It says here, I was just looking, it says, let's see,
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: the original Keystone Project. system has been operating since 2010,
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: but the controversial Keystone XL expansion project remains canceled in
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: its original form. Though a revised border crossing proposal is
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: being pursued. President Trump signed an order authorizing a new
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: modified cross-border pipeline oil transport proposal involving south, bow, and U.S.
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: company bridger pipeline, whatever that is. So the revised project
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: uses a different U.S. route to avoid past environmental hurdles
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: and aims to connect Canadian infrastructure to U.S. markets with
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: potential operations targeted around 2029 to 2030. Well, that's a
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: ways off yet. It still faces ongoing regulatory steps in
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: opposition from environmental groups. So there you go. Always hurdles, right?
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 27: Right.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 9: Hey, one more thing before I go. My wife, she
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 9: doesn't answer her phone, but I know she listens to
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 9: the show.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 18: All right.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 9: So can you tell her that front lawn ain't going
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 9: to cut itself?
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: So she doesn't answer her phone, and you're concerned because
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: it does get dark sooner, so you want your wife
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: to get home. The front lawn doesn't cut itself.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 9: I know she listens to the show.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: I have no problem with telling her that.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 9: The front lawn is going to cut itself, Ronnie.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 22: Right.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: Just relax. Don't move. The message is out there. Make
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: sure she gets home. And even if she's there late,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: make sure she starts. I mean, if she's got to
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: cut it in the dark, there's got to be some
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: type of punishment, right?
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 9: I'll just tell her wrong verb said stuff.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Hey, you know what?
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 11: What?
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 9: I can't even imagine, Ronnie.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 8: What?
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: I got to go.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 22: Okay.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: You're on the air.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 13: Hi, Dan.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 8: How you do?
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: Hi, Ron.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 8: How are you?
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: I'm doing all right. Go ahead.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 8: Well, I'll tell you what, Ron.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 27: You know, I'm a baby boomer like yourself. And I'm
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 27: from Austin town, but I'm visiting my sons.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 4: Down here in Florida right now.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 27: And let me just tell you this. I'm a Republican myself,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 27: but we've had this desantis down here now for almost
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 27: eight years. And the cost of living down here has
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 27: become insane for my sons and my children's generation. And
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 27: what we've bequeathed them is just terrible.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: And Why don't you tell me how that's the case
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: since I've been down to Florida numerous times since my
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: daughter's down there. And let's see, their gas is pretty
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: much the same cost as ours. Their groceries are the
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: same cost as ours. I mean, I don't see. As
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: a matter of fact, let's see. Let's see. Housing prices
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: are declining in a lot of Florida. They're actually coming
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: down substantially. They're dealing with the insurance issue, so that's
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: coming down.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 27: Have you seen what Marjorie Taylor Greene has been saying wrong?
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, she's been.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 27: Because she is absolutely right. Every four years we elect
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 27: these puppets, and they don't conserve a darn thing. There
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 27: is more immigration happening here in Florida than I've ever seen.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 8: You know, Trump puts a big show on.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: That's nonsense.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 27: He puts a show on Fox News, but the reality is...
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 27: There's more immigrants coming in than being deported.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: Well, that's absolutely nonsense. That is not the reality.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: That is the reality. That's a flat-ass lie.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: That's a lie, and you know it is. Trump is
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: Israel's puppet.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 27: He works for the Jews, Ron.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 18: He works for the Jews, not this country.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: Well, the border is closed, pal. I don't know what
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: that's got to do with the Jews, as you like
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: to say.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 8: Oh, have you watched Tucker Carlson?
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 27: Have you watched? Do you even pay attention to what's
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 27: going on?
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 10: No, sir.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: I try not to pay attention to anything. I'll tell
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: you what, Ron.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 27: Donald Trump is a traitor. He is a traitor, and
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 27: he has not done a damn thing for this country.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 27: And you can keep spouting that Fox News propaganda.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: And I will tell you this.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 27: But it doesn't work. It's not left versus right. This
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 27: is good versus evil.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: And what's so.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 27: Good about it? My solution is stop voting. Why are
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 27: people still voting every four years for either a Jewish-controlled
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 27: Republican or a Jewish-controlled Democrat? Where is it getting us?
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 8: Nowhere.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 18: Have a great day.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: All right. How about that? What do you make of
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: that guy? All right, 330-729-9977. We'll get you through.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 18: 330-729-9977.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: On a good-looking Monday afternoon here. It's September 28th already.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: It's 66 degrees. It's pleasant out there. We'll pause, and
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: then we'll come back with more. Ron Furb from the
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: Kingdom of Mahoning with you tonight until 6 o'clock. Then
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: at 6, it's Rockport's Wealth, Truth, and Investing program. All
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: about the financial environment from 6 to 7 tonight. Here
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: on NewsRadio 570, Dodie Kivian, back right after this. Here's
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: a staggering fact. Right here in Northeast Ohio, WKBN. All right,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: back to it. News Radio 570, WKBN. Ron Furb, you're
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: on the air.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 11: Ronnie!
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 8: Ronnie.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: Yes. Congratulations.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 11: Congratulations.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, somebody's cutting the grass over there.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 18: You ever do that, Ronnie?
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 10: Anyhow, congratulations for.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 3: WKBN on their 100th birthday and being in broadcasting.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 8: And, you know, Ronnie... When you.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: Matured as a talk show host, do you know when
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: that was? I'll tell you exactly when it was.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you exactly when it was, last week.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: The day of the tornado, you went from a snotty-nosed,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: smart-mouthed kid on the radio to you start taking it
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: seriously when all that happened.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 10: And you stayed behind.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: That microphone for almost 20 hours.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 18: That's when you matured, Ronnie.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: That's when we took you, you know, a little bit seriously.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: You always had that fun side of you, but we
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: took you a little bit serious, except for your wife.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 13: She never took you seriously.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: Is that right? She never took me seriously?
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, no.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: That's when they had everybody celebrating Mr. Rivers out there
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: and everything. It's amazing. You got him off the golf course.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: He's a staple at.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 8: At some of these golf.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: Courses over there, no run and everything. He could be
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: a starter out there as much time as he sprints.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: Well, don't you think he's earned it? He's deserved it.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 10: Well, certainly, yes. He certainly has.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 28: Yes.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: I'm not putting it down.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 7: He earned it.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: He went out while he was still relatively young and
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: enjoying life. We had a great time when we were
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: down to see the Beach Boys about a year ago
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: down there. Him and his lovely wife, my lovely girlfriend.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: The only one missing was you. Oh, yeah, you were
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: working the station that day.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: That's right. Somebody's got to work for you retirees.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: And one thing else.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 7: How about this one, Ronnie?
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: You know, who was in the Senate and the House
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: when Packer was closing down and Lordstown closed down?
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 10: Was it Little Timmy Ryan and was it Sherard?
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: Sherard Brown?
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 10: Yeah. Wasn't he in there?
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: Wasn't they both of them in there when the two
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: biggest employees in the Valley went toes up?
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 10: And what did they say?
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, we're going to do this, and we're going to
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: do that, and we're going to provide the jobs, and
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: we're going to get, you know.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 10: And what happened?
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: General Motors packed and shut the door and turned the
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: light out, and everybody was.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: Right, absolutely nothing happens, right?
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: Do you want those people back in charge? Even the
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 3: guy from Warren knows that was a bad deal what
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: they did.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. Even with the gas prices that they are,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: would you for one minute think about voting for Sherrod Brown?
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: Would you think one moment that you would vote for
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: Sherrod Brown?
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 8: No.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: No way.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 10: Right. And Dr.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: Acton, she might be a good doctor, but, you know,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 3: when it came to crunch time and they were protesting
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: in front of her.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 10: House, she quit.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: She quit. She quit her job and left everywhere. Wear
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: your mask and do this and that. You know, we
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: had to do something. The governor had to do something.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: She talked them into, oh, everybody wear a mask, everybody
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: six feet apart, everybody, you know, put plastic partitions in
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: your stores and everything. Oh, we can't sell any booze
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: or liquor at the bars and everything past 10 o'clock.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: Everything had to close.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: Right. I mean, I forgot about that. The fact that
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: I can't I can't give you a good reason why
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: anybody would vote for Amy Acton.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, she has no point.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 7: Wasn't she appointed?
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 10: She was appointed by.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: The president, governor, who doesn't know is brought in. Rattle
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: me this, Ronnie.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 10: We have what?
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: Eighty eight billion dollars in the rainy day fund.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 10: How much is in there?
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: I know there's a ton in there, but I want
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: to go back. She quit her job in the thick
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: of it because she couldn't take the criticism. And she left.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: And now she wants to be governor. And she won't
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: debate Ramaswami. She's afraid. So she quit her job. She
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: won't even debate Ramaswami. Now, don't you think there's something wrong?
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: with that? I mean, why wouldn't you debate? You want
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: to be governor, but you're not willing to face your
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: opponent in a debate. What does that say? What does
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: that tell you?
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: And, you know, she had a little problem, this and there,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: this and that, and they brought it up. Just like
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 3: they brought up Rava Salmi peddling them the pills.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 10: Some of the pills worked.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 3: Some of them didn't. It was a roll of the dice.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: The people who the pills worked for are glad he
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: got those pills for them.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: You got it. All right. Thank you, Vince.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 8: Good luck to you, Ronnie.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Back with more calls in a minute. News

• 1:10:02
  Speaker 29: opioid called cyclophorine. Cyclophorine can be up to 4 to
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 29: 10 times stronger than fentanyl, but it goes undetected on
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 29: fentanyl test strips and can stay in the body for days.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 29: And public defenders in Ohio are getting a nearly 18%

  Speaker 2: Tune in to.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKVN.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: All right, so 434 in the afternoon, NewsRadio 570 WKVN.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: It's a nice Monday, isn't it? It's just one of
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: them pleasant days. I hope you're enjoying it. It's already
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: almost the end of September, and it's 66 degrees. How
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: about that? I mean, time is really racing by. You're
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: on the air. Hello? Hello? Yes, speak your piece.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 18: Okay, so getting back to that previous caller, you know,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 18: he does have a point because, listen, I voted for Trump.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 18: Had to because lesser of two evils for sure, and
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 18: he's done a lot of good things. But look at
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 18: the Epstein files. How come not one politician has been arrested?
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 8: Not one.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll answer that question. I mean, if you take
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: a look, and I think it's a fair question to ask,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: let's just take a look at the Russian hoax investigation
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: that took place that tied up the first Trump presidency
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: for three years. And the thing was all a Russian hoax.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: Who was arrested there? Let's take a look at all
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: of this with the COVID situation and Fauci taking a
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: fifth all of those times. Who was charged and went
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: to jail there? Here's what I've noticed. I don't give
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: a damn if it's Republicans or Democrats. They hold all
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: of these hearings and they do all this posturing and
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: there just isn't any follow-through to hold the people accountable.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: from a legal standpoint and put him in jail. And
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: I'm with you. I find it damn disappointing because the
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: whole COVID situation was just ridiculous and nobody's being held responsible.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: We're not holding China responsible, Fauci responsible. The lies that
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: were told, people died because they were denied treatments that
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: were working, ivermectin, hydrochloroquine, et cetera. People were denied treatments.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: People died alone. We were lied to about its origins.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: Fauci's just a liar, and he had accomplices in that.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: And guess what? No one's held accountable. And you saw
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: those hearings. Lookit, Fauci takes a fifth all the time.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: But what did it accomplish? Absolutely nothing.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 14: Zero.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: Like the Russian... Right, the Russian hoax thing. Oh, yeah,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: for three years in that investigation. Okay, we established that
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: the whole thing was political and a hoax. Well, who
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: was held accountable?
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 14: Nobody.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: Nobody.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 8: So.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 18: Let's take a step further. Look at all the fraud
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 18: in Minnesota, Columbus.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 18: Not one politician has been arrested yet.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 8: Well.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: I'm not so sure... Not one politician. I.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 18: They've arrested Somalis. They've arrested... You know, they've arrested people
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 18: who were involved with the fraud, but not... Don't tell me...
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 18: Walsh should be in prison right now.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 32: Right.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 27: Exactly.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 18: Kathy Hochul should be in prison right now.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 8: So.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 18: My point is, right wing, left wing. Unfortunately, they all
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 18: come from the same bird.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: Listen, I have a tendency to agree with that. It's
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: all a facade. It's all a show. With that being said, though,
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: I would say this to you. As disappointed as I
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: am in some of the stuff Trump has done, overwhelmingly,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: he's done so much good as far as the border
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: and energy issues. Now, the wars have set back, obviously,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: and some of the stuff that annoys me about him,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: but he's done a lot of good for the country,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: and there's no way I could say, well, screw you,
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: I'm going to vote for the people that brought me
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: high inflation, that hate energy, and want to go back
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: to the gray sexual agenda. I mean, like the Sherrod Browns. No, no, no.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 18: Listen, I agree with you 100%.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 18: You know, absolutely. But my point is being, is that
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 18: these politicians, Go look up every politician, every congressman, and
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 18: every senator, okay, and see which ones take money from AIPAC.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, they all do, almost.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 18: You're familiar with it.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'm very familiar with it.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 18: So what's that tell you?
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: Right, they're bought and paid for is what that tells me.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 18: They're bought and paid for by Israel.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, if you'd say they're on the payroll, I would
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: say that's right. I would say you're correct about it.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 8: Absolutely. So how do we go about.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 10: It doesn't matter.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 18: All these politicians, they're not for the American people.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 10: They're not.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 18: They're for their own interests, and they could care less
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 18: about any of us.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: Any of us. Yes.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 18: Because if they did, if these actual politicians would actually
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 18: do their job for the American people, We wouldn't be
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 18: in these problems. But unfortunately, that's not the case.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 8: They're not for us.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 18: And every politician is the same. Every time with all
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 18: these ads, they all tell you what you want to
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 18: hear one way or the other, whether you're a Democrat
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 18: or a Republican. Oh, we're going to do this. We're
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 18: going to do that. But once they get in office, 90%
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 18: of them don't do anything. Now, Trump, on the other hand,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 18: has done a lot.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 10: And he has.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 18: And I'll stand by that till the day I die.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: I agree with you on that.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 18: But the problem is we got to get rid of this.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 18: All this money that goes overseas got to go. All
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 18: this taxpayer money that they send overseas to all these countries,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 18: it's got to stop.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 18: You know, he talks about giving everybody a $ 5, 000 stipend
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 18: if the Republicans win. Because he says we have all
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 18: this money coming in. Well, if we have all this
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 18: money coming in, then why don't they stop? Why don't
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 18: they reduce the taxes instead of 37% of your money
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 18: going to the government every paycheck?
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this. If we have all
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: this money coming in, why are we $ 40 trillion in
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: debt and growing on a daily basis?
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 16: Exactly.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 18: And I, exactly. You know, it's got to end somewhere.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 4: See.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 18: You know, and I talked to you before a few
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 18: weeks ago about not paying taxes. And listen, I know
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 18: we got to pay taxes for the police and the
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 18: fire and the ambulance services and all this. I agree
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 18: with that 100%. But there is so much other wasted money.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 13: Yep.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 18: And we're footing the bill for all of it. And
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 18: it's ridiculous.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 8: Yep. It's insane.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: I agree. I agree with every word you've spoken so far.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: Every single one of them.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 18: You know, so that guy that called in before, not
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 18: the last guy, but the guy before, you know, unfortunately
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 18: he's right. We are bought and paid for by Israel.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 18: Because look at all the money that they give to
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 18: these politicians.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: On both sides. And take a look.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 18: On both sides, absolutely. It's not just one side. It's
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 18: both sides.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 22: Right.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: And you look at all the money that they put
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: into defeating Thomas Massey, a congressman from Kentucky. Unbelievable. Yeah.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 11: Right. Right.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 18: It's totally ridiculous and it's totally out of control. The
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 18: problem is, how do you fix it? Because unfortunately, it
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 18: doesn't matter who gets in there. So I'm going to
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 18: just throw this out there.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 8: Let me just throw this out there.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 18: Does your vote really count? I mean, it counts as
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 18: far as maybe the lesser of two evils. Nobody wants
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 18: these Democrats in there. If anybody votes Democrat, you should
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 18: go in an insane asylum. Because that's where you belong.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 8: I mean, Amy Acton?
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: Come on, man.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 18: Here's the thing. Look at our governor race. You got
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 18: two people. You got Amy Acton, who I call her.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 18: And this is just my own opinion, I call her Dr. Death,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 18: because she was part of the problem. Okay, and then
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 18: on the other hand, you got the other guy who
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 18: took bribe money from all this crap with the nuclear
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 18: power plants and our electricity.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 10: So, there again.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: You're talking about Houston.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 18: Well, yeah, Houston. Okay, sorry, wrong two races, but... You
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 18: know what I'm talking about.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 18: You know, Sherrod Brown, he's... You haven't heard one iota
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 18: of anything that he said. He was in favor of
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 18: men and girls sports, men and girls bathrooms.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 18: That guy's disgusting.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: And he was there for 30 years, and he's running
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: like he's never been elected before. He's running like he's
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: a new man.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 18: He's like Tim Ryan. Tim Ryan boasted all this stuff. Oh,
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 18: I did this. He didn't do crap when he was
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 18: in there. And that's the problem. These politicians.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 18: Make all this money.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 10: And they don't do anything.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 18: Now, you and me and our jobs today, if we
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 18: went to work and didn't do nothing, what would happen
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 18: to us?
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Exactly.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 18: We'd be gone down the road.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: I'm with you 100%, man. You make perfect sense to me.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: You're an intelligent caller. Call of the day.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 18: Well, thank you, sir, and enjoy your day.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Well stated. You're on the air.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 7: On the garage.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 13: On the ride.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 8: I'll go get him.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: All right, hang on. You're on the air. Pay attention.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 13: Hello.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 13: Okay, I got one question. Who in the name of
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 13: common sense can vote for the Democrats when Joe Biden,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 13: in the middle of COVID, a health crisis for this country,
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 13: lets in 10 million migrants? How in the world does
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 13: that cause... you know, any health country. I mean, I
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 13: can even vote for those people again.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: I have no idea. And I'd love to hear what
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: you're saying because I agree with you. How can anybody
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: in their right mind, no matter how pissed you get
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: at Trump and the gas prices, how could you say,
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: I'm going to vote for these wackos?
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 13: And also, I got another question for you. Is there
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 13: any break for senior citizens on the taxes or is
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 13: this not on the ballot at all?
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: Uh, no, it's not on a, well, they gave the,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: are you in Mahoning County?
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 27: All right.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: Well, you got, you got a doubling of the homestead exemption.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: Do you own your home? I mean, do you live in, okay.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: So you, you got, you got a little bit of
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: a kickback with the doubling of the homestead exemption. It's
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: not very much, but it's a, but it's a little bit.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: And as far as the, um, the homestead exemption for
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: the elderly, they didn't give you that at all, which
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: would have went to the poorest of our senior citizens.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: They didn't do that for you at all.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 13: Thanks, politicians.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So just keep on paying. But they did reevaluate
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: your property, and your property taxes more than likely will
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: go up. But thanks to Dave Thomas, the Republican who
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: actually does work, they won't go up as high as
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: they did in the past because he put a cap
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: on it, which I give him credit for that.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 13: Oh, I see.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 13: Well, next election, maybe.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: All right. You'll be in the poorhouse. All right. See
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: you later. See, that's real-life people right there. That's why
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: I always say this is real, man. You hear from
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: people like the guy that called just before that last caller.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's just spot on. But sometimes when you
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: have to vote for the lesser two evils, it is
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: the lesser of two evils. And those last two calls
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: make perfect sense. I mean, I agree with that guy.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: You'd have to be in the insane asylum to vote
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: for the Democrats. I mean, if you think about Amy
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: Acton quits in the middle of the COVID because she
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: couldn't take the heat. Now she wants to be governor. Really?
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: She won't even debate Ramaswami? Well, why not? I mean,
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: let's be realistic. I mean, you might be slightly ahead
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: or whatever, but it's pretty close. I'd like to hear
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: a debate between you and Ramaswami. Why won't you debate him?
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: I don't understand this. So you quit because you were
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: when you were the doctor and you won't debate your opponents.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: But yet you say I should vote for you for governor. Well,
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: what do you stand for? Can you articulate it and
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: debate it with your opponents? It's just, it's bewildering to me.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: And make no mistake, I'm not a fan of DeWine.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, as a Republican, he's been a huge disappointment.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: But it is, in some cases, the lesser of two evils.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think Ramaswamy is a much more intelligent
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: person and would make a better governor for the state
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: of Ohio. I think Sherrod Brown is a far-left liberal senator,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: and he will be that again. What are your pronouns?
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: What do you go by? Do you want to go
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: back to the days where Disney couldn't say, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: boys and girls? They eliminated that. You want to go
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: back to the days where we tear down statues in
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: a country? Well, we've got to rip that statue down.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: We've got to whitewash our history. We're going to hire
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: people not based on merit, but based if you're gay
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: or a transgender person. I mean, do you want to
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: go back to that, the craziness that he supported an
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: open border? Letting all these people into the country. Just
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: not supporting the police and all of the nonsense that
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: you saw the far left do. And would you want
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: to vote for Sherrod Brown? It's a vote to go
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: back to that because that's where he stands. And any
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: of these folks, of course, a lot of times these
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: labor unions that make these endorsements, the rank and file
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: doesn't vote that way. The rank and file says, well,
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 2: you can endorse whoever you want. We're not voting that way.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: Because that's what you get with Sherrod Brown. And that's
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: what you get with Amy Acton. There's no way I
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: would vote for either one of them. Now, could they
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: end up winning? Absolutely. You hear me as I say
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: on a daily basis, I get upset with Trump over
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: the situation in Iran and think it was a mistake
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: and think he was influenced into it. But as I
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: have to say, I don't know everything they know either.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, we can all have opinions on this, but
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there's information that he's privy to, obviously, and
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: Rubio and these people that we're totally and completely unaware of.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: But it seems to me, what's the answer to get
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: out of this situation? Iran isn't giving in to any
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: of this stuff. They simply need to survive to win,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: and they know you'll sooner or later leave, as we've
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: always done in Vietnam, Afghanistan. They're sitting around hoping in
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: the midterms that the Democrats win one of the two
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: houses and can checkmate Trump that way. I mean, that's
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: probably their ultimate plan. Well, I'm not going to vote
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: for their plan. I'm not going to support that idea
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 2: by voting that way at all. But how many times
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: during your life have you had a choice, a bad choice?
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, I can tell you I can't enthusiastically vote
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: for John Husted. I'm just voting for him because the
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: Republican side makes more sense than anything on a crazy
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: Democrat side. And in many cases during my life, that's
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: what it's come down to. Kind of the lesser of
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: the evils, if you will. But the Democrat side is
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: just crazy. I agree with Bill Maher. It's just absolute craziness.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: And it's like, I don't know. We got to increase
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: the number of people on the Supreme Court because it's conservative.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: We've got to open up the border. We've got to,
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: you know, the police and all this kind of nonsense.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. You're on the air.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 10: Ron, hey, how you doing?
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 8: Good.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: Hang on. Let me do my break, and I'll come
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: right back to you, all right? Just hang on one second.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: Let me do my commercials. I'll come right back to
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: that guy. In a minute, Ron Furp from the Kingdom
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: of Mahoning. See what he has to say. We're here tonight.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 2: till 6. He'll speak his piece right after this from
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 2: NewsRadio 570 WKVN. Monday, September 28th, 66 degrees, overcast, but
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: a pleasant fall-like day in my neck of the woods.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: Hope you're enjoying it.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 15: When we lost my mother, we were... Fall shopping is.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: And Talk Station 570 WKBN. We're on verb 455 here
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: on a Monday afternoon.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: And, all right, thanks for your patience. Go ahead, please.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 33: I was calling to see if you've seen any of
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 33: these polling numbers. I was recently watching a video that
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 33: was talking about some polling they've done across the country.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 12: This would be all voters.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 18: It was a.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 12: You go poll.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 33: I think it was an elected collaborative or something like that.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 18: But they asked the.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 33: Question, you know, basically going head to head, putting a
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 33: Democratic socialist candidate against a generic MAGA candidate. And across
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 33: the country, they had DSA would be 54 percent of
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 33: likely voters to vote for a DSA candidate, whereas 34 percent.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 33: of likely voters vote for a MAGA candidate. I think
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 33: that's pretty reflective of where the polls are right now
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 33: in general in terms of Trump's approval rating and things
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 33: like that. I think we're headed into a, you know,
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 33: absolute bloodbath for the Republicans headed into this midterm election.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 33: And that's why you start, you know, I'm starting to
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 33: hear stories now about Trump getting advice about how to
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 33: declare martial law and things like that, how to deploy
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 33: ice into the, uh, polling stations, things like that. You know, that,
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 33: that really is the only way for them to, uh,
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 33: you know, to try to avoid some of this bloodbath.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 33: They're saying that it's going to be a bigger swing, uh,
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 33: than anything since I think it was like 71 or so,
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 33: basically that the Reagan revolution, um, There's going to be
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 33: no bigger swing. That's what it's looking like towards the Democrats.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: Well, first and foremost, I don't buy any of this stuff.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: I've heard this for years, and it's ridiculous, the martial
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: law stuff or any of this other stuff. Hang on
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: a second. I think that's utter and complete nonsense. Would
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: it surprise me that the Democrats do well in the
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: midterms simply based? I don't think it has much to
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: do with any of that stuff you mentioned. I agree
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: with James Carville. It's the economy, stupid. And I think
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: many people are upset, obviously, with inflation and the gas
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 2: prices and the diesel prices. And they'll vote for the
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: opposing party, as they usually do, thinking that that sends
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: a message or that'll make it better. And that's a
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: real possibility. Wouldn't surprise me at all. But you get
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: what you vote for. And if you think socialism is
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: going to work, good luck with it. I mean, it's
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 2: not working where they put it. But I don't live
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: in New York and I don't live in California. And
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 2: I'm glad I don't live there. And I wouldn't want
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: to live there. And I don't think we can give
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: everybody Medicare for all. We're having a hard enough time
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: making Medicare affordable. Under the current situation. Stand by. I'll
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: let you address that. I've got to pause for the
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: headlines at 5. Then I'll come right back to you.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: And then G2 will be coming up as well. So
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: stay tuned. Mike Rowe here with another random fact.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: Celebrating 100 years as the Valley's trusted news, weather, and
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: talk station.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 4: 570 WKBN. Youngstown.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 23: The midterm elections are five weeks from tomorrow. Elisa Brady,
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 23: Fox News. So President Trump is hitting the campaign trail.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 28: The president will crisscross the country this week, raising money
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 28: and hosting rallies for Republicans on the midterm ballot.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 20: We have great people and we're running against communists, lunatics, socialists.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 28: President Trump says he plans to tout economic improvements and
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 28: border security. But polls show Republicans trailing in several key
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 28: races where President Trump previously won.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 20: I think the polls aren't accurate because I won it
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 20: by so much and it doesn't make sense that they
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 20: wouldn't be right up there with me.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 28: The president is urging supporters to vote as if his
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 28: name is on the ballot.

  Speaker 23: Fox's Jared Halpern at the White House, the president taking
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 23: questions after announcing what he calls the largest ever steel
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 23: plant in the U.S., a $ 15 billion project planned by
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 23: Minnesota-based Misabi Metallics, which is owned by a company based
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 23: in India.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 15: Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds thanking the president.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 21: Your commitment.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 24: to bringing manufacturing back to the states and really restoring
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 24: American industrial dominance is the reason that this is happening.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 28: This would not be happening without your leadership.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 23: She says COVID underscored how important it is to boost
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 23: domestic manufacturing. Democrats argue the president's agenda is failing, and
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 23: they point in part to the ongoing conflict with Iran.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 23: President Trump telling reporters today we'll win one way or
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 23: the other after he rejected Iran's latest ceasefire proposal. But
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 23: the two sides are still talking through mediators.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 13: U.S.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 34: Officials have confirmed to Fox News that President Trump is
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 34: willing to give Iranian sanctions relief and release frozen funds
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 34: in exchange for concrete progress on nuclear issues. There's also
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 34: a level of skepticism regarding Iran's seriousness to make a deal,
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 34: given that they broke the last MOU by firing on
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 34: ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

  Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: All right. Late words. G2 will be joining us. I'm
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: all choked up all of a sudden. G2 will be
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: joining us momentarily on NewsRadio 570 WKBN and contributing to
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: the broadcast as well. So comments for him as we
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: go along. We'll talk to G2 for a little bit.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: Any comments that you might have or questions you might have. Obviously,
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: our phone's going to be open during that time, too,
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: at 330-729-9977. 330-729-9977. Just a couple of reminders. We'll be
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: with you until 6 tonight at 6, Rockport Wealth Truth
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: and Investing Program here on NewsRadio 570 WKBN. So that's
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: what happens tonight between 6 and 7 on this Monday night. Stocks, bonds,
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: mutual funds. Financial planning, all that kind of jazz, that's
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: what we deal with tonight from 6 to 7, as
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: we do on Mondays here on NewsRadio 570 WKBN. So
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 2: keep all of that in mind. I didn't even check, incidentally,
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: speaking of stocks, bonds, and that kind of stuff, what's
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: even going on on the market today. I heard earlier
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 2: that it was down, but I should be on top
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 2: of that. And usually Fort Lauderdale Frank keeps me posted
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 2: on that. Dow slides more than 300 points to start
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 2: the week as Treasury yields pressure stocks. It doesn't say
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: anything about oil prices or anything like that at this point.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 2: Trump announces plan for $ 15 billion steel plant would be
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: largest in U.S. history. Why doesn't he announce a plan
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: for a giant refinery? That's what we need him to
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 2: announce for. Dow slides more than 300 points to start
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: week as Treasury yields pressure stocks. All right, so that
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 2: can't be good. Boeing 737 MAX 10 certification delayed by
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 2: software issue. LeBron James is already boosting tickets and merchandise
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: demand for the Philadelphia 76ers. Michael Burry believes the AI
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 2: bubble may burst sooner than he first believed. Bill Gates
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 2: was saying something about that. There was an article earlier today,
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 2: which I got to find, and what Gates was concerned
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 2: about what could happen as far as AI was concerned.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 2: He was making some comments about that. Let me see
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 2: if I can find that for you. Parents-in-law arrested after
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: New York Times games engineer director found shot, fatally shot. Well,
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: that ought to be an interesting story. Just hang on.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: I get to, I get back to calls momentarily. So parents-in-law,
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: parents-in-law arrested. It seems weird, doesn't it? Something like that
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: would happen. Let me see. What else do I have?
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: In-laws arrested after New York Times games games engineer, director
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: found fatally shot. Jonathan McKenzie, a New York Times games
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: engineering executive. Was shot and killed Sunday afternoon. In California.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: And his wife's parents. Were arrested on suspicion of murder.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: Within minutes. This McKenzie 40 was. Found with multiple gunshot wounds.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: In a parking lot of the Dublin sports grounds. and
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: was pronounced dead at the scene. A New York Times
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: spokesperson confirms that McKinsey served as director of engineering for
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: New York Times Games. He worked for the company since 2023.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: About 3.08 p.m. local time Saturday, a police service sergeant
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: driving near the sports complex spotted a man lying in
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: a parking lot and stopped to investigate. Around the same time,
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: dispatchers began receiving multiple 911 calls reporting a shooting. Spawning
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: officers found this McKenzie suffering from multiple gunshot wounds with
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 2: help from witnesses. Officers quickly identified and detained two suspects
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: who had remained at the scene. The suspects were identified
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: as Shuyang Zhang, 77, and Shili Chen, 77, both of Dublin.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: Officials say the married couple are McKenzie's parents-in-law. Who they
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: say shot him. That's weird. They say there aren't any
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 2: other suspects. And they haven't released a possible motive. How
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: weird is that? That is just odd, man. Shot by
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: your parents-in-law. God, they had to hate you as a son-in-law.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 2: They had to just hate you. They had to say,
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: you suck. I mean, that's just brutal. Wait a second.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: Let me check something right here. Okay, wait a second.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: I didn't mean to do that. That's not what I'm
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 2: looking for. All right, Schumer. I got to find this
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: story about Bill Gates. I mean, it was kind of
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: an interesting... AOC paints grim picture of AI-powered future. Lawyer
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: reveals what convinced this one guy to... What is this
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: AI picture that she paints a fear of? I can't
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 2: imagine it. I don't see it. Who knows what her
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: concern is? I don't see it. Trump rejects AI fears,
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: pushes let's win message. And not this.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: Not the fear that's put out there. Bill Gates had
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 2: some fearful thing that he was putting out there today.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: And I'll be damned if I can even find it
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 2: for you. Those terror suspects, as I mentioned earlier, in
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: the UK were released on bail. That makes a lot
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: of sense. SpaceX Starship goes up in flames during Splashtown
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 2: after historic flight cut short. That can't be good for
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 2: the stock. God, I've got to find that Bill Gates
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 2: story before G2 joins me. I mean, it's a hell
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 2: of a story. Or maybe he'll find it for me.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was really putting it out there. And
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 2: it was just, I swear it was just today, I
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: saw it this morning. I think it was this morning.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you. Bill Gates says only four jobs are
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 2: safe from A.I. All right, you want to buy that?
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 2: Was this it? Bill Gates says only four jobs are
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: safe from AI, but here are seven other predictions he's
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 2: made that didn't age well. All right, so this is
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 2: what he's talking about. Bill Gates says anything about the
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: future technology, people tend to take note. After all, Gates
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: has correctly predicted everything from digital assistance to online payments
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 2: and remote work years before they became mainstream. His latest
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: warning is just as bold. Bill Gates recently suggested that
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: artificial intelligence will eventually automate most jobs, leaving only a
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 2: handful of careers, including programmers, biologists, energy experts, and even
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 2: professional athletes as relatively safe. Those are the four careers,
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: he says. Programmers, biologists, energy experts, and professional athletes. Maybe
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: he's right. All right, let's see. But history suggests there's
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 2: another possibility. Even one of the greatest technology visionaries of
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: our time doesn't always see the future clearly. Before you
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 2: decide whether Gates' rights on his AI predictions deserves your trust,
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 2: it's worth looking back at some of his biggest forecasting misses.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 2: All right. So he's missed a lot, but he's saying
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 2: AI is different, right?
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 14: You know.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: Let's see. We should see. I don't know. We'll see.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 2: We'll see about that. I thought there was other stuff
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: he was saying. I just haven't found it. And this
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: deal with AOC is just somewhat ridiculous, too. Somebody might
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 2: have seen that Bill Gates thing. Let's see. AOC says
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 2: AI version includes elites hoarding resources, wiping out jobs. So
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 2: that's what she's saying. It's going to just wipe out jobs.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 2: Some of this stuff, you've got to ask yourself, is
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: it possible? I suppose so, but do you believe it?
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, these people are just saying a lot of stuff,
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 2: and do they know? I mean, does anyone really trust
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 2: what AOC has to say about AI? I thought Gates
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 2: had more troubling stuff to say about it, but it
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: doesn't appear to be so. It doesn't appear to be
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 2: so with it. Maybe I'll find it as time goes on.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 2: All right, 330-729-9977. Sorry about that. I want to give
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: you the latest on that. But basically, I don't know.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 2: Some people are saying this is all a bunch of fear-mongering.
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 2: It's the latest. People are saying it's a new COVID
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 2: or whatever you want to say that the Democrats are
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 2: preaching or these people are preaching when it comes to AI. Basically,
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 2: they're saying don't buy into it. It's all ridiculous. And
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 2: it's a new fear-mongering, you know, that AI is going
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 2: to take over the world and AI is going to
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: kill you. And it's a big fear-mongering stuff that's being
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: put out at this particular time. Spearheaded by politics is
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 2: what some people are saying when it comes to AI.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 2: It's all politics. It's all political. Or so they claim.
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 2: So they claim when it comes to the situation with AI.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: But we shall see. You've got this battleground state. that's
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: becoming the new home of the $ 15 billion mega steel factory.
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 2: I thought a caller brought up an excellent point. Why
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 2: doesn't that happen here? Largest ever U.S. steel plant is
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 2: coming to a key red state, $ 15 billion investment. I
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: always love these announcements, but I wish I would go
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 2: back and say, okay, did they ever fulfill this? So
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 2: you heard his plans for a massive steel plant in Iowa.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 2: White House says it will be the largest in American
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 2: history and promises to bring 1,750 permanent jobs to the state.
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 2: The roughly $ 15 billion steel plant is touted as a
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 2: major new investment and evidence that Trump's economic agenda is
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 2: bringing heavy manufacturing back to the U.S. Well, you know
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 2: it'll be a state-of-the-art plant with just over a month
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 2: until the midterms. It will create between 5,000 and 6,000
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 2: construction jobs during its first phase. All right, well, okay,
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 2: so why don't you bring it to where we made
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 2: steel initially? Why don't you bring it to our neck
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 2: of the woods? Not a bad idea, right, for something
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 2: along those lines? It would seem possible to me, but
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 2: I don't understand why that's the case. Judge has final
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 2: say after Clancy Defense prosecutes a reach agreement on holdout probe.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 2: The attacks that they're putting on this guy that was
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 2: a holdout jury in this Clancy case by revealing his
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 2: identity and the hassle that he's putting up with. So
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 2: it says here, Lindsay Clancy's push to investigate holdout juror
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 2: could be paused as defense and prosecutors agree to adjourn.
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 2: So you got Clancy's legal team and the prosecutor's. have
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 2: agreed to delay defense attorney's motion to investigate the lone
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 2: holdout juror in her mistrial. So now you've got to
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 2: investigate this guy because he doesn't think she's not guilty
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 2: by reason of insanity. He thinks she's guilty of killing
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 2: her three kids. A final decision subject to the judge,
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 2: but the judge has not yet announced the decision one
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: way or the other. The DA and the defense attorney
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 2: consent to adjourn the motion to investigate the holdout juror.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 2: So now we're going to investigate him. If Judge Sullivan
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 2: signs an order today, much of it could be adjourned.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: Either way, a status conference is still likely. But the
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 2: motion against the holdout juror is due in court by
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 2: 9 a.m. Tuesday for a status conference. So now the
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 2: answer is, okay, let's go after this juror. Because he
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 2: didn't give in to the other 11. He didn't give
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 2: in to the mob. And so now he seems to
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 2: be the problem. It's one thing after the other, all right?
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is all interesting stuff that's going on here.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 8: Hmm. Hmm.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 2: But I don't see the Gates thing.
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 8: Oh, well.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: He's usually wrong about most stuff. Or he's preaching this beware,
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 2: be careful, and all that stuff. We shall see. I'm sorry.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 2: You're on air.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 11: Hey, Ron.
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 10: Good evening.
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 2: Good evening, sir. Start at the top of the phone.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 2: Punch the wrong line, but don't worry, folks. Go ahead, sir.
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 7: Oh, you punched the wrong line.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 18: Thanks, pal.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 2: My eye-hand coordination is off today.
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 20: All right.
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 2: Go ahead with your thoughts.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 7: Well, you're bringing up this world's largest steel mill, and
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 7: we had one up in Warren. You know that. You
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 7: and I have discussed it several times.
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 7: I've worked there for 20 years. My question is, this
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 7: state-of-the-art steel mill, are they going to have blast furnaces?
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 7: Because you can have electric furnaces, but the problem is
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 7: there's only a finite amount of scrap. If they have
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 7: blast furnaces, now you've got the iron ore range in Minnesota,
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 7: and you have the other stuff that goes with it.
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 7: These are all questions that a guy that's an old
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 7: steel worker mill hunky would look to know.
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 2: And what's the... Well, my question is, okay, so you're
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 2: going to put it in Iowa. Why Iowa? I always thought,
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 2: I understand state of the art, but why wouldn't you,
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 2: the person asking a fair question, why wouldn't you bring
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 2: it here? We got the water. We got the infrastructure.
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 7: You got all that brine ground that you don't have
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 7: to do the, what do they call that with the EPA,
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 7: with the asbestos and everything else on the Mahoning River?
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 7: Down here in Struthers and everything.
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 8: That'd be perfect.
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 10: Exactly.
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 2: Exactly. So it's all politics. I guess they think that
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 2: this is.
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 2: Well, it is. I mean, he's putting it in Iowa
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 2: because it's a tight race or whatever that is, or
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 2: the company announces it's going to be there. My question
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 2: to this, there's no slam on Trump. Whenever he makes
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 2: these big announcements like this, I always say the same thing. Why,
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 2: if you're putting it there... I just want to see
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 2: the follow-through on all this stuff. I hope there's follow-through
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 2: on it.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 7: Right, but you still need a river. And we have
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 7: all this brine ground in the Mahoning Valley with the abatement.
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 7: That's the word I was looking for earlier. With the abatement,
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 7: because you can't develop it, it's perfect for a steel mill.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 7: It was just like a war in the mill I
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 7: worked in at WCI.
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 29: It was.
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 7: You know, you see them big mines up there where
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 7: the paper mill, well, that's all the dirt they can't use.
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 7: It's got to be hauled out if you drive around
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 7: Main Street and Southwest Pine. And you look at this
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 7: and you're going, okay, we have a modern steel mill,
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 7: all the technology, but are you going to have a
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 7: blast furnace? Because an electric furnace is a finite amount
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 7: of scrap. And us guys that were mill hunkies in
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 7: this valley know this. And without a blast furnace, and
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 7: without raw iron ore, taconite, and everything else that goes
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 7: with it, you're going to have another new core steel.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 7: They run on electric furnaces. You're going to have another,
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 7: whatever down in Canton are all electric furnaces. Just like
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 7: V & M up here in Girard. It's electric furnaces.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 7: They run on scrap. Okay? But if you can run
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 7: blast furnaces... And get iron ore, you can make virgin steel.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 7: And then you can make a lot of products. And
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 7: that's what people don't understand about this.
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, hey, you know more than I do
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 2: about it. I'm all ears, as they say.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Ty. Have a good night. All right. I'll
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 2: come back with more right after this. Stay tuned. Hello again, everyone.
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 4: Big Dan.
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: Youngstown's news, weather, and talk station, 570 WKBN.
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 2: All right, onward we go. You're on the air.
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 13: Hello.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 32: The reason the debt steel mill is going into Iowa
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 32: is the same reason we have ethanol in our fuel
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 32: tanks is because Iowa gets to go.
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 8: First in the primary elections.
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 32: And that was per Ted Cruz a few years ago,
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 32: that no politician is ever going to speak up and say,
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 32: we're going to stop ethanol because they will lose Iowa.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 32: And if you lose Iowa, you've lost all your momentum.
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 32: The shame of it is that the parent company is
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 32: an India company.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 2: And this deal is going to be financed through.
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 32: The import-export bank. And if you look that up, that
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 32: is a bank of the federal government that will hand
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 32: out loans to businesses when other banks won't touch it
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 32: because the risk is too high.
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 4: And what we have.
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 32: Signed up for, what Trump signed up for, is a
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 32: $ 10 billion risk with this steel mill that's going into
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 32: Iowa so that we can help his chances of Republicans
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 32: winning Iowa during a general election.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 27: And.
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 32: So we're going deeper into debt because this steel mill
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 32: should be able to go get its own financing. But
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 32: you've got to kind of dig deep because you don't
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 32: find that in the Breitbart articles or Newsmax articles or
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 32: anything else.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 8: It's just what a great.
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 32: Piece of news that we have this steel mill coming in,
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 32: but it doesn't give the details.
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 2: Now, how did you find this out? Because I find
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 2: that fascinating and deeply troubling as well. But how do
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 2: you know all this?
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 32: Well, it was listed on Breitbart about... Trump and this
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 32: deal and this big steel plant coming into Iowa. And
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 32: I thought, well, what does Trump have to do with it?
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 32: If a steel plant's coming into Iowa, why is Trump
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 32: getting credit? So I started digging into this plant and
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 32: found out that it was being funded by the Import
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 32: Export Bank. So then I said, well, what's the Import
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 32: Export Bank?
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 2: Right. I never heard of it. Me neither.
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 18: So if you look it up, it's been in.
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 32: Place since the 1920s, and it's supposed to. It's federal
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 32: government getting their hands and trying to stimulate the economy
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 32: and trying to do things. But it said its primary
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 32: purpose is that it'll take on risks for businesses where
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 32: other banks won't touch it. I mean, other banks are
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 32: out there that are in business to fund businesses. a
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 32: big private business like this. So I immediately get skeptical
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 32: when I see that Trump or anybody else just fill
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 32: in the blank of somebody in federal government is getting
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 32: credit for a big, huge, multi-billion dollar, like, let's just
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 32: take Intel up in Columbus. How's that working out for us?
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 32: That was Mike DeWine's attempt to buy business coming into Columbus.
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 32: And I'm not sure they even broke ground. And I
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 32: don't know if they ever got our $ 1 billion of
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 32: taxpayer money back or if anybody's even looking into it.
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 2: Remember that? That was when we were all concerned about
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 2: chips and Taiwan and all this kind of stuff.
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 2: And nothing materialized from that as well. Excellence. Yeah. Nothing. Nothing.
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 1: No, no.
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 32: A billion dollars of taxpayer money went to Intel on
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 32: a big promise. And where are the Republicans that run
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 32: the state of Ohio? Do we have an attorney general
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 32: going back after that money? Or is everybody sitting on
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 32: their hands.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 4: Doing nothing as usual?
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, right. My initial my initial question would be,
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 2: did the money ever transfer to Intel or what was
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 2: I would want to know more about that, too, because
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 2: if the money transferred, then what do they do with it?
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 2: If it didn't, then I'm not as concerned.
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 32: Yeah, my understanding was that the money transferred and that
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 32: they maybe broke ground and started coming out of the
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 32: ground and then found out that the market dropped out
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 32: of what they had promised. But, you know, they were
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 32: going to bring all those jobs in. It's just, again,
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 32: the government is the problem, as has been said so
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 32: many times. that every time that there is something in
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 32: the news about some politician's face is plastered on some
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 32: big jobs coming in, if it's not the free market,
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 32: be very skeptical that it is our money that's going
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 32: in it. We're going to be paying the risk. We're
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 32: holding the bag because of this India.
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 18: Now think about that.
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 32: The profits are going over to India. It's not even
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 32: an American firm. And the last thing I heard, Trump
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 32: was talking about U.S. Steel was his big play, that
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 32: we had, quote, a golden share of U.S. Steel, whatever
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 32: that means. And he got involved in that when Nippon
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 32: Steel wanted to buy U.S.
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 2: Steel.
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 7: He stepped in, and he's got.
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 32: The naming rights and a bunch of other government overreach.
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 8: That's just bizarre. So he's not.
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 32: Taking the risk with his money. He's taking a ton
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 32: of risk with our money. And if I wanted to
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 32: buy steel mills or steel stock, I could do that
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 32: any day I wanted to. But I didn't realize that
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 32: the FICA line item on my on my pay stub
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 32: would be going to the federal government that would then be,
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 32: you know, subsidizing an India based steel mill.
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 2: That is fascinating. Well said. I thank you. We'll be
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 2: right back.

  Speaker 2: so 534, Monday, September 28th, 66 degrees. All right, G2.
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 8: Good evening, Ron.
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 14: How are you?
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 2: A little bit better than you, I think. Yeah. But
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 2: that's neither here nor there. All right, what do you
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 2: have to add to the program today?
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, jumping in on the steel conversation, I
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 8: think the guy that called up a little bit ago
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 8: that was talking about iron ore and steel and scrap
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 8: asked some really, really great questions. To answer those, the
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 8: company has an operation in Minnesota that is a mine.
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 8: And this steel mill project's been in the works for
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 8: about 15 years, maybe longer. The idea was originally to build,
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 8: to restart an old iron ore mine that's been down
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 8: for many decades up in Minnesota, and then build an
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 8: iron-making unit there. Now, you know, he'd asked about blast
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 8: furnaces versus... scrap. And the reality is that now there's
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 8: new technology called direct reduction, or that produces something called
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 8: direct produced iron. So they call that DRI. And now,
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 8: instead of going through the blast furnace route, they could
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 8: go through these direct reduction units that create little pellets
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 8: of high concentration and iron ore that can then be
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 8: used in electric arc furnace alongside scrap. So the path
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 8: is you go from the iron ore mine to into
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 8: a DRI furnace that creates a little iron pellet that
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 8: goes then into an electric arc furnace along with scrap
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 8: to make your final steel. And so you've eliminated the
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 8: steel-making furnace that you would have at a blast furnace operation,
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 8: and you've eliminated the blast furnace itself, which of course
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 8: would make iron ore. You just need natural gas, and
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 8: that's why people like it so much, because the energy
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 8: costs are lower and some ways. And a DRI facility
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 8: could be started and stopped more easily than a blast furnace,
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 8: and their operating costs could be somewhat stable compared to
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 8: a blast furnace, assuming they have a really good supply
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 8: of natural gas, which they have to have. So the
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 8: idea was to build that up in Minnesota, but this
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 8: company's been in fights with Minnesota for the entire 15 years,
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 8: and lots of demands that they start this iron ore
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 8: mine that they don't, and they couldn't get it to
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 8: work out. So They have to put it somewhere where
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 8: they can move the steel efficiently and where they can
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 8: get to that mill efficiently from Minnesota. Now, they won't
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 8: put the steelmaking in Minnesota because Minnesota is run by
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 8: leftist lunatics and it's just unfriendly. So they're down now
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 8: in the lower states looking for a location, and I
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 8: don't think they've actually said where they would put it.
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 8: Talking about somewhere along the Mississippi River in Iowa because
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 8: that would allow them to ship their steel downriver by barge,
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 8: I believe. So it's a great project. And to be
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 8: $ 15 billion with 7.5 or 7.7 million tons means they're
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 8: going to have, at that steelmaking site, they would have
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 8: certainly the electric arc furnaces, the rolling mills. They'd have
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 8: probably cold mills. They might go all the way down
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 8: to galve lines and paint lines. So what's shipping out
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 8: the end of that mill is a very high-value product.
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 8: The logic of all that is fantastic. But the comment
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 8: that I made about scrap is really important. First of all,
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 8: If all you have is scrap, you end up making
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 8: steel that gets dirtier and dirtier each time you recycle
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 8: the scrap, if you will, right? Because there's some copper
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 8: in there and other materials in there, and there's sort
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 8: of impurities. And you just can't get that kind of
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 8: high-quality steel that you need for things like automotive panels
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 8: if you're making it purely out of scrap and there's
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 8: no raw iron in it. Now, of course, Nucor, he mentioned,
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 8: uses HBI, you know, hot briquetted iron and other, you know,
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 8: pig iron in their furnaces. to clean up their scrap, right,
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 8: to dilute out the impurities. But you could theoretically, not
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 8: even theoretically, you really can run an electric arc furnace
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 8: entirely on DRI if you want to. Now, there's a
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 8: company called Cleveland Cliffs that most people know, or now
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 8: it's called different things, but Cleveland Cliffs actually operates those
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 8: mines up in Minnesota as well. They too were, like,
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 8: they were looking for customers and couldn't, necessarily find them.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 8: A lot of their customers were going away. Blast furnaces
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 8: were going away. So they built one of these DRI
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 8: plants in Toledo. Gosh, it must have been 10, 12
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 8: years ago. And it was a very successful project. And
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 8: they began to use those DRI pellets, even in their
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 8: own blast furnace operations, by taking that DRI and dropping
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 8: it right in the steel furnace, if you will, like
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 8: the bop shop or whatever they call it at each plant.
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 8: So So this is great technology. The logic of having
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 8: DRI up there and a mill not in Minnesota makes
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 8: sense just because of the business environment. And this will
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 8: be a plant that, if it gets built, has a
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 8: tremendous amount of high-quality pure iron in it. So that's
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 8: all great. Now, this other caller that mentioned XM Bank,
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 8: I don't know why the XM Bank is involved in this.
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 8: I agree with you. The company should get its own financing.
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 8: And it's tried for many, many years. There are maybe
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 8: some reputational issues and other things that make it harder.
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 8: But this should be privately financed. The government shouldn't be
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 8: doing this. It's not $ 10 billion, though. The Ex-Im banks
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 8: looked at $ 10 billion and approved $ 770 million, I believe.
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 8: I don't think they've approved a $ 10 million loan here. Now,
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 8: you raised the question, Ron, will this mill get built?
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 8: And that remains a question because if they're not announcing
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 8: the site, it means they still have a couple states
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 8: in play. And, you know, everybody understands this. When you're
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 8: trying to site a big business like a chip plant
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 8: or a steel mill or an automotive plant, they like
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 8: to get two or three states to start negotiating against
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 8: each other to see who will give the best tax
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 8: abatements and who will give the best power, you know,
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 8: which one they could get the best power rates in
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 8: and all of that. So I would guess that they
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 8: haven't yet finalized the site selection because they're still playing
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 8: both for land purchase and for for state support. They're
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 8: playing a game of competing states against each other. Now,
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 8: Illinois would be a tough one to go into. You
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 8: might as well just build Minnesota. But Indiana is, of course,
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 8: where a lot of steelmaking is. You mentioned Nucor there
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 8: in Indiana. And so it could be something where Indiana
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 8: would come. Now, to get to Ohio, the efficient way
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 8: to do it would be to take the pellets, the
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 8: DRI pellets out of the lake, out of Minnesota, if
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 8: you could get them into a lake or if you
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 8: get them into a freighter that goes across Lake Erie
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 8: and drop them, say, you know, in Ashtabula and build
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 8: an Ashtabula, that can make sense. One of the challenges is,
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 8: of course, it's, you know, you've got weather issues and
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 8: other things that affect lake traffic. So it's to be
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 8: really consistent and have that material there all the time.
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 8: That's why LTV and Cleveland Cliffs and whomever put out
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 8: all these plans would stockpile iron ore pellets during the
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 8: months when the water was open so that during the
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 8: winter freeze they'd have enough iron ore to run. That
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 8: was always a major issue for all the steel plants
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 8: operating there in Cleveland, and that would be an issue here. Also,
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 8: this DRI doesn't transfer as well as iron ore, and
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 8: if you want to be consistent, you're going to run
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 8: it in unit trains if you can make the logistics
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 8: for that work. You know, you've got the Laker side,
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 8: but that's going to compete with U.S.
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 14: Trains.
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 8: And if you're running trains, Ohio might or might not
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 8: work out. You've just got to look at the transit numbers,
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 8: the transportation numbers, which will be a factor. So, you know,
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 8: it's a great project. I hope it happens. $ 15 billion
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 8: would be great. The fact that the company's Indian, it
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 8: doesn't really matter. And then somebody mentioned U.S. Steel. I
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 8: think the guy said something almost, like, derisive about U.S.
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 10: Steel.
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 8: Listen, here's the deal. US Steel was acquired by Nippon.
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 8: This company is the second largest producer in the world.
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 8: Nippon makes more than 50 million tons globally. They have
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 8: tremendous technology and unlimited access to capital. So you've got
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 8: US Steel, which has always sort of struggled and had
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 8: a hard time surviving, had a hard time investing in
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 8: their assets the way they needed to, hard time keeping
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 8: their productivity up. Nippon takes all that off the table.
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 8: The US Steel production facilities are far more secure. in
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 8: terms of access to capital and continued operation with a
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 8: Trump government and a Nippon owner than they have been
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 8: in years. However, there are mills like the ones in
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 8: Pennsylvania that the radicals wanted, and it was a constant
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 8: battle for U.S. Steel to keep those plants open. So
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 8: I'm talking about, you know, Edgar Thompson and so on.
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 8: so this would be a great deal of it gets done.
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 8: I don't understand the negative thing about U.S. Steel.
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 18: I don't get that.
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 8: I mean, the truth is the Trump administration doing what
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 8: they did is one of the reasons why the Nippon
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 8: Steel deal got done, and that deal was... really good
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 8: for anybody who works at U.S.
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 2: Steel.
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 8: So I just don't get the negativity there, but I
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 8: would certainly agree that the Ex-Im Bank ought not be supporting,
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 8: really financing something like this iron ore mine. Now, their investment,
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 8: if it's $ 770 million, the iron ore mine would have
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 8: been at least a two, maybe two and a half
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 8: billion dollar total investment. So the company certainly had to
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 8: come up with some private financing to make it happen.
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 8: And I believe that mine is now in production. So
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 8: the XM provided a piece of it. And I agree,
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 8: I don't think that's good practice, but it's certainly not
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 8: inconsistent when you've got that ridiculous chips bill putting money
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 8: into companies like Intel that don't have any of the
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 8: financing challenges of an iron ore mine or steel producer.
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 8: So there's my, you know, just sort of quick two-second
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 8: take on that project, trying to respond to those two callers.
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but remember, with that Intel bill or money that
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 2: went Intel's ways, look at that big, beautiful structure. Oh,
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, they didn't build anything. Never mind.
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 8: And guess, you know, and then Samsung got like $ 6. 5
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 8: billion for a project in Texas. Look, Samsung has complete
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 8: and total access to capital. They can... finance anything they want.
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 8: Why is the U.S. taxpayer buying these people capacity? I mean,
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 8: truth be told, this is one of the worst things
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 8: about this sort of Soviet model that we're adopting. You know,
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 8: just the fact that I'd agree with the one caller
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 8: that the government should not be investing in production capacity
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 8: for Samsung and Intel and.
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 14: A steel plant.
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 2: You know what the government should be investing in, true
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 2: or false? We need more refineries in the United States
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 2: of America. We've got a huge problem in this country
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 2: as far as refining is concerned. Colin?
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 8: Well, I don't think the government should be investing in them,
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 8: but I do think that they should declare a state
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 8: of national emergency, declare a national emergency, and they should
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 8: force California to stop attacking the refineries there. And I
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 8: think they should get with the EPA or whomever they
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 8: have to get with to make sure that the path
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 8: to building more refinery capacity is cleared. Now, that doesn't
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 8: mean we want dirty water and oil in the sky. No,
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 8: that's just ridiculous. You could build refineries and build them
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 8: to be clean and efficient, and modern technology is available
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 8: to make these better than they've ever been, but we
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 8: desperately need to replace the capacity that was shut down,
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 8: that was burned down, that was some East Coast stuff,
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 8: And we need to replace that has been converted into
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 8: these ridiculous biofuel projects. So there's no question that a new,
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 8: hyper-efficient refinery or two should be done. But, again, the
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 8: government's role is simply to clear the deck, to clear
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 8: the path. All the oil companies can finance their own.
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 8: And the federal role, because this really truly is a
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 8: matter of national security, The federal role in this California
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 8: thing should be that they just simply step in and
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 8: tell the state, you've got to back off. You cannot
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 8: continue to drive our refining capacity offline and make us
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 8: increasingly dependent upon imported products from offshore refineries. That supply
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 8: chain is dangerous and long and expensive. This is, in fact,
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 8: a matter of national security.
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 2: All I'm saying is it's an immediate need if your
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 2: current refineries are at 98% to start building refineries around
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 2: the clock. 24-7, because we need to get them online.
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's got to be the highest priority. And
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 2: somehow that never gets done unless you have some government
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 2: incentive or government trying to kick them in the arse
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 2: to go. Because you can see, as I read earlier,
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 2: we haven't built a new one since 77. Now, granted,
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 2: they say the old ones have been added onto and expanded.
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 2: They did make that point. But we don't have a
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 2: new one here, and we're at capacity. So.
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 8: If you're to rank them, I'd put refineries first. I'd
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 8: put nuclear plants second. That steel plant, if it's actually real,
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 8: would be something that would fit back in third, and
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 8: the data centers would all come behind that.
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 2: Well, where does windmills and solar panels come in?
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 8: Those would come in with the dynamite being used by
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 8: Chevron to blow up some of their windmills because they
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 8: just simply are not green, and they're not efficient, and
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 8: they can't maintain them, and they don't last during the
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 8: lifespan that they're told. So I don't remember exactly where
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 8: this is right now, but Chevron was dynamo some of
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 8: their ridiculous windmill projects. Look, you know, you want to
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 8: build a windmill, build a windmill, but just like the
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 8: steel plant and just like the refineries and the data
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 8: centers and the chip plants, the government should not be
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 8: investing in or subsidizing those. And with the windmills and
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 8: solar farms, we, the taxpayers, subsidize all of it. And
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 8: that's just not the right thing to do. That's not
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 8: the role of a government if we would live in
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 8: a capitalist system. That's why you hear me keep saying
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 8: we've just got to get back to free market capitalism.
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 8: We've got to get back to a rules-based economy and
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 8: not this weird government-slash-giant-corporate-no-antitrust-law thing that we are now living under.
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just... It's bizarre times, but refineries got to
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 2: be a high priority, to say the least. I mean, because.
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 18: Number one.
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 2: You got to shut down. There's always accidents. You got
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 2: to shut down for winter fuel, summer fuel. And if
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 2: you're running at capacity... It's just a problem waiting to happen,
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 2: and it just hasn't been addressed. And I don't know
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 2: why private investors just– it's so damn expensive, don't want
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 2: to get into it, because they don't know where– a
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 2: lot of times you don't know where things are going
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 2: from one administration to the next. That's what the problem is.
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 2: There's lack of, really, consistency on some issues that should
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 2: have consistency on it, this being one of them.
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 8: That's right. And you look at what they did to
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 8: the coal-fired power plants. You look at what they're doing
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 8: to the refineries. I mean, to make that investment– and
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 8: have the threat of a Democrat administration taking over, Democrats
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 8: taking over Congress, what do you do then? You know,
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 8: you just burn your project down. So it's a real threat.
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 2: It's a huge threat. An absolute huge threat. How about
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 2: the fact that these terrorists that they got in the UK,
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you follow this story or not,
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 2: they let them go on, they released them on bonds.
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 2: They posted their bonds.
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 8: Oh, I was talking to a guy in Ireland today
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 8: on this.
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 2: This is.
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 8: So what's going on in the U.K. regarding the invasion,
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 8: you should all be looking at that. Look at Ireland
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 8: specifically in the U.K. Look at Germany and recognize that
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 8: that was the plan for Ohio. If you remember back
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 8: a few years when we were talking about this thing
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 8: called Thrive and all these different nonprofits that were getting
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 8: all this money to figure out how to bring migrants
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 8: into the Ohio Valley, and they were kind of coming in,
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 8: I think, from, say, Cleveland to Akron over to Pittsburgh
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 8: and up to Erie. It would have been potentially hundreds
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 8: of thousands. And that stopped because Donald Trump got elected.
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 8: But you will not have a say in that once
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 8: the radicals assume control again. And they will change your neighborhood.
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 8: You will end up living in some weird combination of
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 8: the Middle East and Northern Africa. You're not going to
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 8: get a chance to object to what they're going to
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 8: do to you. And it's coming because, remember, a few
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 8: years ago we were talking about this on this show.
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 8: They kept talking about repopulation. They said, well, we want
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 8: to get Americans here, but we'll take them from wherever
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 8: we get them. But we're only going to bring in
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 8: engineers and doctors or something. It was ridiculous. They know
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 8: they're not going to get enough people to move in from,
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 8: you know, Kansas and Oklahoma. They're going to Chennai and Mumbai.
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 8: And the infrastructure globally to bring migrants into the United States,
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 8: settle them and get them jobs is astonishing. I was
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 8: reading about a job training program today for teachers. And
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 8: they're going into India to get teachers. They're not going
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 8: into Baltimore. They're not going into Los Angeles to get teachers.
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 8: They're going into India.
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 2: They're not inspiring America's kids to go into teaching. There's
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 2: no drive to do that.
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 4: It's crazy.
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 8: This is national suicide. But if you want to see
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 8: where it's leading, look at Ireland, the U.K., France, and Germany.
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 8: And you'll see that, of course, if you're living in
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 8: some beautiful French town that's not been affected, you think
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 8: everything's the same. It's not changed. But if you walk
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 8: through a city, you'll see it quite has changed.
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 2: Stand by. Back with more in a minute. We're here
• 2:16:41
  Speaker 2: tonight until 6.
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 4: If you run a business, you're WKBN.
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 2: All right, so talking with G2 on News Radio 570 WKBN.
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 2: But these guys put on, when we talk about it,
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 2: can you imagine, oh, you're a terrorist, potentially, and we're
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 2: going to let you out on bond? I mean, what
• 2:17:00
  Speaker 2: were they doing there? Why do they have these vans?
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, it does make a lick of sense. But,
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 2: of course, it's the UK.
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 8: Well, exactly, and it's clear that anyone who is of
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 8: Middle Eastern descent or African descent has priority over anyone
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 8: who's English. Remember, I mean, I know I talk about
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 8: this stuff all the time, and it makes people crazy,
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 8: but the reality is they've had Pakistani group in London
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 8: since the 80s. They have raped a quarter of a
• 2:17:26
  Speaker 8: million English girls, and the government knew about it and
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 8: protected them. And you may think that's crazy, so go
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 8: look it up yourself, but don't expect to find it
• 2:17:34
  Speaker 8: on CNN. You've got to go do the work to
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 8: get that. There have been MPs that have stood up
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 8: and demanded investigations, and the parliament has refused to launch them.
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 8: It is just this thing that the globalists are doing
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 8: where they want to just this western civilization which frankly
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 8: they just.
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 2: Despise I'm shifting gears because time is limited let's talk
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 2: about the midterms and let's be realistic it's September it's
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 2: not November yet it's getting closer can Trump pull a rabbit.
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 8: Out of the hat It'd have to be one heck
• 2:18:11
  Speaker 8: of a magic rabbit. I mean, he's in trouble here.
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 8: If you go all the way back to January of
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 8: 25 when we started talking about how the House was
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 8: going on recess again, I know I don't have these right,
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 8: but let's say they were in session 44 days or
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 8: something out of the first 100. Well, I expected 100 days.
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 8: I don't want to hear about evenings and weekends and holidays.
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 8: I expected 100 out of 100 days. They worked halftime.
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 8: And then they made it crystal clear they were not
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 8: going to advance the agenda. Then you get the Doge,
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 8: you know, Congress saying no to Doge. These are Republicans
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 8: in Congress. Well, people noticed that and they know who
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 8: did it. Of course, the Democrats didn't want Doge either
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 8: because that's how they feed their political machine is through
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 8: these government grants and things. And then you had the
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 8: Epstein files, just a horrible, poorly handled thing, as we
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 8: talked about many times. And it doesn't matter they didn't
• 2:19:04
  Speaker 8: campaign on them. People wanted it, dealt with and trusted
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 8: him to do it. And he didn't. And we know why.
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 8: I think we know why. I think it's he cut
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 8: a deal to get the big deal done, and he
• 2:19:14
  Speaker 8: cut a deal with Israel on this. But, you know,
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 8: then the big beautiful deal gets done, and that's great
• 2:19:20
  Speaker 8: because it extends the tax cuts, but we already had
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 8: the tax cuts, so we didn't have any pain relief there. Right?
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 8: And you roll forward to a couple other things, and then,
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 8: of course, the war. When he did the attack on
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 8: Iran in 25, my first reaction was anger. And then
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 8: I realized what he did, and I thought this was
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 8: just genius, the way he did this. Very little loss
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 8: of life, takes the nuclear threat off the table, addresses it,
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 8: stops Israel, stops their constant demand that we go to
• 2:19:48
  Speaker 8: war with Iran, stops the neocons, stops the CIA. It
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 8: was a beautiful stroke of genius.
• 2:19:52
  Speaker 2: That's when he dropped the bunker buster.
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 8: Yes, and exploded a plant that a lot of people
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 8: don't think had any nuclear devices in them. It was genius.
• 2:20:02
  Speaker 8: But then the next summer, in February, when he goes
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 8: ahead and and attacks, and we have this war. And again,
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 8: I understand the price of gas is not as high
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 8: as it was in 2020 under Biden. He hasn't used
• 2:20:13
  Speaker 8: as much oil out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 8: the Democrats did, not for a crisis, not for strategy,
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 8: for politics, right, to protect 22 and 24 electors. So
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 8: I understand it's just not that bad, but the truth
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 8: is America's freaked out. And then most people seem to
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 8: believe that all this inflation happened since February 28th.
• 2:20:31
  Speaker 11: No one.
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 8: It's just crazy to watch how Americans are so simple
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 8: and aren't really paying attention. Many things have come down
• 2:20:41
  Speaker 8: in price. You know, they stopped killing all the chickens.
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 8: Eggs came down, right? He relieved a trillion dollars of
• 2:20:48
  Speaker 8: useless regulations. Inflation came down. But he didn't reverse inflation,
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 8: and then they saw the gas price, and they forgot
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 8: about all the kids that were trafficked. They forgot about
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 8: the fentanyl deaths. They forgot about the tens of millions
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 8: of illegal aliens entered. They forgot about all that. Also,
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 8: the H-1B issue, he lightened up on that in response
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 8: to India's request.
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 2: We'll have to pick it up tomorrow with further thoughts
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 2: on it, all right?
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 18: Okay.
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 2: All right, out of time. Stay tuned. Rockport coming up.
