Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Ron Verb on News Radio 570 WKBN. How about that forecast?
- 0:06Speaker 2: That was yesterday's.
- 0:08Speaker 3: All right.
- 0:09Speaker 2: But today is lovely, isn't it? A little hot, a
- 0:12Speaker 2: little humid, but not complaining for this last day of August.
- 0:16Speaker 2: It's 87 degrees. And the fair starts this week as
- 0:20Speaker 2: well as we approach September tomorrow. September 1st, and then
- 0:25Speaker 2: a fair starts later in this week, and it's going
- 0:30Speaker 2: to be a warm one. Going to be some warm
- 0:32Speaker 2: days for our fair here, but so be it. So
- 0:37Speaker 2: be it. At the time of writing, Polly Markets puts
- 0:41Speaker 2: Amy Acton's chance of victory at 54%. She's running for governor,
- 0:46Speaker 2: state of Ohio. This is the Amy Acton, Dr. Amy Acton,
- 0:49Speaker 2: that was in charge of the COVID situation that ultimately quit.
- 0:55Speaker 2: I mean, she just quit. That Amy Acton. What was
- 1:04Speaker 2: the reason? She just threw in a towel and left.
- 1:07Speaker 2: Didn't feel safe or whatever. So they say she could
- 1:11Speaker 2: be governor, 54% to 47% of her vivac. So some
- 1:19Speaker 2: polls have it at 55% to 45%. Both markets had
- 1:26Speaker 2: priced the contest as essentially even only days before August
- 1:31Speaker 2: 24th when traders moved sharply toward Acton. This reverses the
- 1:36Speaker 2: prospect of a genuine contest. This reversal raises the prospect,
- 1:41Speaker 2: I should say, of a genuine contest for an open
- 1:44Speaker 2: governor's office in the states. President Donald Trump carried by
- 1:48Speaker 2: 11.2 percentage points in 2024. And if you're thinking about
- 1:55Speaker 2: voting for Amy Acton, you should have your head examines.
- 2:00Speaker 2: You should absolutely have your head examines. More governments, you know,
- 2:06Speaker 2: this left-leaning progressive governments, more taxes, wrong direction. Wrong direction.
- 2:14Speaker 2: And she's leading in the polls. Or not the polls, polymarkets,
- 2:19Speaker 2: I should say. News Radio 570, Dodie Carey on 307
- 2:21Speaker 2: in the afternoon. You're on the air.
- 2:25Speaker 4: Well, how you doing, Ron?
- 2:27Speaker 2: I'm good.
- 2:29Speaker 5: And you probably won't be after I finish talking to you.
- 2:32Speaker 5: Because he's one of these ones you told me decades ago,
- 2:35Speaker 5: don't fear your tongue, right? And ever since then, I've
- 2:39Speaker 5: been beating you to death with that stick you gave me. Now,
- 2:44Speaker 5: you need to get a pencil and a piece of
- 2:45Speaker 5: paper and write these names down, okay?
- 2:49Speaker 2: All right, I'm paying attention.
- 2:52Speaker 5: Okay. Frank from Florida.
- 2:56Speaker 6: Alec.
- 2:57Speaker 2: Excuse me, Fort Lauderdale, Frank, yeah.
- 3:00Speaker 5: Well, isn't Fort Lauderdale in Florida?
- 3:03Speaker 2: Yeah, I just want to get his name right. It's
- 3:05Speaker 2: Fort Lauderdale, Frank. Okay.
- 3:07Speaker 7: Okay.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Alec.
- 3:09Speaker 8: Alec.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:12Speaker 4: Phil, the pharmacist?
- 3:15Speaker 2: That's Rich, the pharmacist, not Phil.
- 3:18Speaker 5: Okay.
- 3:19Speaker 4: Okay, Rich, the pharmacist.
- 3:21Speaker 2: I mean, it's almost like a suspicious thing. You're not
- 3:23Speaker 2: getting Alzheimer's. I am getting a little worried about you now.
- 3:27Speaker 5: No, it's just that it's breaking my heart having to
- 3:29Speaker 5: call you and tell you what I'm going to tell you, okay?
- 3:33Speaker 5: And your Wall Street guy, the guy that tells you
- 3:35Speaker 5: about stocks and stuff, right?
- 3:37Speaker 2: Which one? Oh, that guy. I know what you mean,
- 3:40Speaker 2: the smart guy, yeah.
- 3:41Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 3:42Speaker 5: The unknown caller.
- 3:45Speaker 2: All right. He's always got to go, that one, yeah.
- 3:48Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 3:49Speaker 9: And Jeff, okay?
- 3:51Speaker 5: Okay. Now, I always used to think that those guys
- 3:55Speaker 5: were pretty smart.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Now, which Jeff do you mean? There's many Jeffs. Which
- 3:59Speaker 2: Jeff are you talking about?
- 4:02Speaker 5: How many brothers named Jeff call you?
- 4:05Speaker 2: I didn't know if you meant the brother Jeff. You
- 4:13Speaker 2: have to be more specific, okay? Because you told me
- 4:16Speaker 2: to write this down. I want to make sure I
- 4:17Speaker 2: get it accurate.
- 4:19Speaker 5: Okay, I will be. Now, go to another column and
- 4:21Speaker 5: write these names down, okay? Ted the Conservative, Ron Verb,
- 4:31Speaker 5: Bubba Canooch, JJ, and Rock Creek. Now, the reason why
- 4:38Speaker 5: I separated those names from the other ones is because,
- 4:42Speaker 5: you know, like Ted tried to cut his leg off,
- 4:45Speaker 5: Verb tried to cut on his head, Bubba Canooch can't dance.
- 4:49Speaker 2: No, no, no. Got some dog bone on. Bubba Ganoush
- 4:53Speaker 2: was in a, you know, a few years back in
- 4:57Speaker 2: that head-on car collision. So, okay, go ahead.
- 4:59Speaker 5: No, he survived that, but I see that man dance,
- 5:02Speaker 5: and I thought I was watching Steve Urkel, but I'm
- 5:04Speaker 5: going to be nice.
- 5:07Speaker 3: And J.J., J.J.
- 5:09Speaker 5: Needs to go to the marijuana dispensary and start smoking
- 5:13Speaker 5: that doggone taxi driver, because then he might come back
- 5:16Speaker 5: the way he's supposed to be. And Rock Creek, I
- 5:19Speaker 5: ain't got to say nothing else about Rock Creek. So
- 5:20Speaker 5: these guys ain't got nothing to do with what I'm
- 5:22Speaker 5: getting ready to tell you about the first list, okay?
- 5:24Speaker 2: Yes.
- 5:26Speaker 5: Now, I'm looking at the first list. I'm sitting there
- 5:28Speaker 5: thinking that these guys, I've been listening to them over
- 5:29Speaker 5: the years. I'm like, man, these guys are pretty smart.
- 5:32Speaker 5: I may not agree with them, you know, but at
- 5:34Speaker 5: least they thought about what they were saying. And they
- 5:38Speaker 5: put a good point across. And some of the stuff
- 5:40Speaker 5: I might even agree with, right? But now I can't
- 5:44Speaker 5: say that about them anymore. And I'm going to tell
- 5:45Speaker 5: you why.
- 5:46Speaker 4: Why?
- 5:46Speaker 2: I'm shocked.
- 5:49Speaker 5: Well, see, now these guys are supposed to be smart.
- 5:51Speaker 5: These guys are supposed to love this country, right? These
- 5:54Speaker 5: guys are supposed to want to do what's best for everybody, right?
- 5:57Speaker 5: But on the same token, now try to stay with me,
- 6:02Speaker 5: every last one of them say they will not vote
- 6:04Speaker 5: for a Democrat. Now, think about this.
- 6:06Speaker 4: Think about this.
- 6:07Speaker 5: Now, it doesn't matter if the inflation is up. They
- 6:11Speaker 5: don't care if they vote for a Democrat. They don't
- 6:13Speaker 5: care about the gas prices. They don't care if they
- 6:16Speaker 5: vote for a Democrat.
- 6:17Speaker 4: Travel wars.
- 6:18Speaker 3: They don't care.
- 6:19Speaker 5: They ain't voting for a Democrat.
- 6:21Speaker 6: Freedom of speech.
- 6:21Speaker 5: If you say something bad about the president, he's going
- 6:24Speaker 5: to shut you down and not allow you on the plane.
- 6:26Speaker 11: Right?
- 6:26Speaker 8: They don't care.
- 6:27Speaker 5: They ain't voting for a Democrat. And God forbid somebody
- 6:30Speaker 5: would say they're going to give up. they're going to
- 6:33Speaker 5: release the Epstein files, right? But see, the Republicans ain't
- 6:37Speaker 5: got to do none of that stuff because you know what?
- 6:39Speaker 5: They can do what they want to do. They can
- 6:41Speaker 5: say what they want to say. They don't care because
- 6:44Speaker 5: guess what? These guys I just mentioned are going to
- 6:47Speaker 5: vote for him anyway. If that's not insanity, I haven't
- 6:50Speaker 5: seen it. Talk to me, Ron.
- 6:52Speaker 2: Well, it's because the philosophy of the Democrats is so extreme.
- 6:57Speaker 2: I can answer your question. They don't think the Democrats
- 7:01Speaker 2: offer a better alternative to a flawed Republican. So why
- 7:06Speaker 2: do I say that? Because take a look at some
- 7:08Speaker 2: of the Democrats that are out there. For example, Gavin Newsom,
- 7:12Speaker 2: horrible governor, state of California, high taxes, projects that aren't done,
- 7:17Speaker 2: all kinds of corruption going on. Big Democrat potential candidate
- 7:22Speaker 2: for president. Take a look at AOC. Really can't answer
- 7:26Speaker 2: any difficult questions. And really, a presidential candidate? Very, very,
- 7:32Speaker 2: very bizarre. Take a look at the social agenda. Take
- 7:35Speaker 2: a look at the fiscal agenda. Take a look at
- 7:38Speaker 2: the border policy. So when you start taking a look
- 7:42Speaker 2: at where they stand and what they believe in, And
- 7:47Speaker 2: then you take a look at the Republicans, even with
- 7:50Speaker 2: some of the things that I disagree with on Trump,
- 7:53Speaker 2: I'm still better off with the Republican philosophy by far.
- 7:57Speaker 2: I don't believe in open borders. I don't believe in
- 8:02Speaker 2: the social agenda. What are your pronouns? I don't believe
- 8:05Speaker 2: in this transgenderism. I don't believe that you should hire
- 8:09Speaker 2: based on a skin color or sexuality, but it should
- 8:11Speaker 2: be on merit. I don't believe in the answer is
- 8:15Speaker 2: more government spending and more handouts that creates inflation and
- 8:19Speaker 2: does away with personal responsibility. I don't agree with Biden's
- 8:24Speaker 2: policy on or not Biden, the Democrat policy on energy
- 8:28Speaker 2: at all. So why? So I understand all of those
- 8:32Speaker 2: guys completely. So even though we can. Yeah, I do.
- 8:36Speaker 2: Because even though we can have disagreements. on some of
- 8:39Speaker 2: the stuff that Trump has done. Trump has done a
- 8:42Speaker 2: lot of things right as well. The border is closed.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Many people have been taken out of the country. More
- 8:49Speaker 2: need to be taken out of the country. The energy
- 8:52Speaker 2: situation isn't in a good shape right now because of
- 8:54Speaker 2: the war, but he's got it going in the right
- 8:56Speaker 2: direction as far as drilling in our country is concerned.
- 9:00Speaker 2: So I just think, well, you're asking me, why would
- 9:02Speaker 2: they do that? Well, I think if you would vote
- 9:05Speaker 2: For a Democrat, like if you'd vote for Amy Acton
- 9:07Speaker 2: for governor, you should only have your head examined.
- 9:12Speaker 5: Can I say something?
- 9:13Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely.
- 9:15Speaker 5: Okay, so like I said before, 10 minutes before you
- 9:18Speaker 5: did the same diatribe, evidently, it doesn't matter about how
- 9:21Speaker 5: high inflation is right now. Evidently, it doesn't matter, right,
- 9:26Speaker 5: about the gas prices. Evidently, it doesn't matter about the
- 9:29Speaker 5: foreign wars. It doesn't matter about freedom of speech. And
- 9:33Speaker 5: it doesn't matter about the F-team spouse. And guess what?
- 9:36Speaker 5: We're not allowing nobody to go into the bathroom.
- 9:39Speaker 9: You guys are crazy, man.
- 9:41Speaker 2: Thank you. And you think it's crazy because the Democrats
- 9:44Speaker 2: would do absolutely nothing about that and make everything worse.
- 9:49Speaker 2: And incidentally, I didn't hear you bitching about any of
- 9:53Speaker 2: that when the Democrats were in charge. Some of the
- 9:57Speaker 2: highest inflation that we've happened. to take in was during
- 10:03Speaker 2: the Democrats and the Biden administration. I didn't hear you
- 10:09Speaker 2: calling about it at that particular time. I didn't hear
- 10:12Speaker 2: you calling about the open border and the billions of
- 10:16Speaker 2: dollars it was costing. to take care of all of
- 10:18Speaker 2: these people over your fellow Americans. So I go back
- 10:25Speaker 2: to say you should have your head examined if you
- 10:29Speaker 2: think the Democrats are a better choice. They are not.
- 10:33Speaker 2: Republicans aren't perfect, but I can sit here, as I
- 10:36Speaker 2: said to you before, I'm not a cheerleader for Trump
- 10:39Speaker 2: or for any politician. But the good has outweighed the bad.
- 10:46Speaker 2: And the alternative doesn't offer anything. If there was a
- 10:51Speaker 2: better alternative, that's a different story. But the alternative is
- 10:56Speaker 2: just going back to the lunacy. I refuse to go
- 11:00Speaker 2: back to the lunacy. You call it a diatribe, but
- 11:02Speaker 2: that's what the Democrats stand for. You want to go
- 11:05Speaker 2: right back to the transgenderism crap in schools? Drag queen shows?
- 11:12Speaker 2: Can't define what a woman is? Men can have babies,
- 11:16Speaker 2: tampons in a bathroom, open borders. Let's make everybody who
- 11:20Speaker 2: came here illegally legal. Let's have more government programs, more taxes,
- 11:26Speaker 2: more handouts, less personal responsibility. That's what you think is
- 11:36Speaker 2: a good alternative? I don't think so. So, I'll stick
- 11:46Speaker 2: with the Republican Party as a philosophy of the party.
- 11:51Speaker 2: And including from child trafficking, it was just has been
- 11:58Speaker 2: just horrible under the Biden administration, this open border policy
- 12:02Speaker 2: and so many of these missing children, many of which
- 12:04Speaker 2: have been found, but many more need to be found.
- 12:09Speaker 2: You're on air.
- 12:11Speaker 3: Yeah, Ron, how you doing? I've got to disagree with
- 12:14Speaker 3: the first caller.
- 12:16Speaker 2: Oh, he cited you, yeah.
- 12:17Speaker 3: Yeah, I left the Republican Party. I'm an independent now,
- 12:23Speaker 3: and I would vote for a Democrat. So he's wrong
- 12:27Speaker 3: on that. I would vote for a Democrat like Joe Manchin.
- 12:31Speaker 3: Joe Manchin also left the Democratic Party in May of 2024.
- 12:34Speaker 3: He's an independent. And he has recently launched the Independent
- 12:45Speaker 3: Leadership Council.
- 12:46Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the rub. He's not around anymore. So
- 12:51Speaker 2: you can say, well, you can say, I've left. Are
- 12:55Speaker 2: you in Ohio? Yes. Okay. So you have to, for governor,
- 12:59Speaker 2: you're either going to vote for Amy Acton, a far less,
- 13:03Speaker 2: more tax and spends Democrat, or Vivek. I mean, those
- 13:07Speaker 2: are your two realistic choices. And it's difficult. I mean,
- 13:12Speaker 2: I could never vote for Amy Acton. I could not
- 13:15Speaker 2: vote for more taxes and more government, more handouts and
- 13:19Speaker 2: all this stuff. So, I mean, you might leave one
- 13:24Speaker 2: of these parties, but in most cases, it's one of
- 13:26Speaker 2: those two parties that you're going to be voting for.
- 13:30Speaker 2: And most of my life, I voted for the lesser
- 13:32Speaker 2: of two evils. Well, in this case, The Republican Party
- 13:37Speaker 2: isn't perfect, but it's far better than what the Democrats
- 13:40Speaker 2: are standing for. I look at a lot of what
- 13:42Speaker 2: the Democrats are touting, and I think it's just crazy.
- 13:45Speaker 2: The socialism, the Medicare for all, we can't afford it.
- 13:51Speaker 2: It's just insanity.
- 13:55Speaker 3: Yes, correct. And the other thing I wanted to bring
- 13:59Speaker 3: up was Manchin is still very active in politics, along
- 14:03Speaker 3: with his daughter. And they were exploring a run at
- 14:07Speaker 3: the third party. But he said it's not feasible at
- 14:12Speaker 3: this time because you can't get on the ballot in
- 14:14Speaker 3: all 50 states the way the Democrats and Republicans have
- 14:18Speaker 3: everything structured. There's no room for a third party. But
- 14:22Speaker 3: he's still very active.
- 14:24Speaker 2: Right. But the choice doesn't exist. I'm not trying to
- 14:27Speaker 2: rain on your parade. I'm just saying there's reality. I'm
- 14:31Speaker 2: bringing you back to reality, my smart caller.
- 14:34Speaker 3: Yes, and the other Democrats, there have been some great
- 14:38Speaker 3: Democrats over the time, and the first caller probably doesn't
- 14:41Speaker 3: remember George Wallace from Alabama, four-times governor, very popular, almost
- 14:48Speaker 3: became president of the United States if he wasn't shot
- 14:53Speaker 3: and taken out of the race. And then we have
- 14:55Speaker 3: guys like Lester Maddox and the other famous Democrats that...
- 15:01Speaker 3: that had the mantle of the Democratic Party, and they
- 15:04Speaker 3: brought us things like Democrats for the Party of Slavery,
- 15:08Speaker 3: the Jim Crow, the KKK. So, you know, there's a
- 15:13Speaker 3: lot to be said for Democrats, and I think the
- 15:17Speaker 3: first caller should do some research on that. And the
- 15:21Speaker 3: other reason, Dr. Amy, I could never vote for, but
- 15:24Speaker 3: even though she did a fantastic job with the lockdowns
- 15:27Speaker 3: and the vaccines, in handling Ohio, I still couldn't vote for.
- 15:34Speaker 3: But that leads me into the next reason I called
- 15:38Speaker 3: was the public service. We've got flu season coming up,
- 15:42Speaker 3: and a lot of our local doctors and hospitals are
- 15:45Speaker 3: going to be pushing the vaccines. And the current flu vaccine,
- 15:53Speaker 3: I don't know if you know what it has.
- 15:56Speaker 3: It's mercury in it. It has 50,000 parts per billion
- 16:01Speaker 3: of mercury. And if you look at the CDC regulations,
- 16:07Speaker 3: anything that has that level of mercury is considered in
- 16:11Speaker 3: a liquid a hazardous waste. But the flu shot they're
- 16:15Speaker 3: pushing now has 250 times the amount of mercury in it.
- 16:20Speaker 3: And they still want you to jab it into your arms.
- 16:24Speaker 3: I've been doing a lot of research with Kennedy and
- 16:29Speaker 3: his vaccine. They're doing a number on him with the
- 16:31Speaker 3: measles vaccine that's blown out of proportion.
- 16:35Speaker 2: Well, I think sometimes, do we have a measles problem?
- 16:39Speaker 2: Stand by for me, if you will. Back with the
- 16:42Speaker 2: smart caller in a minute. News Radio 570, WKBN and
- 16:45Speaker 2: Ron Ferb, welcome. Power isn't a luxury. It's essential.
- 16:54Speaker 4: WKBN.
- 16:55Speaker 2: You know, when you're talking about all this, smart caller,
- 16:58Speaker 2: just as a side note, here's what I admire about you.
- 17:03Speaker 2: It doesn't matter who's your governor, who's your president, or
- 17:07Speaker 2: the politics involved in a lot of this stuff. You
- 17:10Speaker 2: have been over the years, and I've known you and
- 17:13Speaker 2: talked to you for a lot of years, as you
- 17:15Speaker 2: well know, you have been laser-focused over the years about...
- 17:20Speaker 2: learning to invest and how to invest. And you've done well.
- 17:25Speaker 2: It doesn't matter who the governor was, who the president was.
- 17:27Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. And it probably won't in the future.
- 17:33Speaker 2: Because of brains and initiative, you will survive no matter
- 17:38Speaker 2: what that case is and could quit tomorrow and live
- 17:43Speaker 2: a very comfortable life. And that is, to me, the
- 17:46Speaker 2: American dream that you've achieved in your lifetime. And you've
- 17:51Speaker 2: achieved it not just for yourself, but you've achieved it
- 17:53Speaker 2: for many of your family members as well. So as
- 17:57Speaker 2: much as we complain about the country, and there is
- 18:01Speaker 2: a lot to complain about because I think there's a
- 18:03Speaker 2: lot of corruption. I mean, and I'm not in love
- 18:06Speaker 2: with the Republican Party, but it's a far better choice
- 18:09Speaker 2: than the Democrat Party, just far better. And that's where
- 18:15Speaker 2: I agree with Ted, the conservative. I mean, it's just
- 18:18Speaker 2: I can't go along with the philosophy that a lot
- 18:22Speaker 2: of them seem to have because of the crazy social agenda,
- 18:27Speaker 2: of the crazy border agenda, watering down my citizenship. And
- 18:31Speaker 2: I just can't go along with that at all. And
- 18:35Speaker 2: so in most cases, when I look at my ballots,
- 18:39Speaker 2: if not in all cases, I have to vote for
- 18:41Speaker 2: the Republican Party. And I get frustrated, as you do,
- 18:43Speaker 2: because I think so many of these people are in
- 18:46Speaker 2: it for themselves. Many of these people that are running,
- 18:49Speaker 2: sometimes on a local level, this is the best job
- 18:52Speaker 2: they've ever had. You follow me? I mean, they haven't really...
- 18:56Speaker 2: done that well in the private sector. So what is
- 18:59Speaker 2: their career? Their career is being a politician. It's all
- 19:02Speaker 2: they know what to do. It defines them. Oh, this
- 19:06Speaker 2: is what makes me important. This is how I make
- 19:09Speaker 2: a good buck and have these benefits and maybe a
- 19:12Speaker 2: good retirement plan. And now my sole focus is to
- 19:15Speaker 2: get elected and reelected again. And for some of them,
- 19:17Speaker 2: it's the most money they've ever made in their life.
- 19:19Speaker 2: They've never really succeeded in the private sector. And I
- 19:23Speaker 2: think that is really what's sad. I don't care if
- 19:25Speaker 2: you're a Democrat or Republican. When it all becomes about
- 19:29Speaker 2: you as opposed to being a public servant. As I said,
- 19:34Speaker 2: I look at Ralph Meacham and I think Ralph Meacham
- 19:36Speaker 2: is a public servant. I think he's running an excellent operation.
- 19:41Speaker 2: I just cite him in that sense. I look at
- 19:43Speaker 2: Dave Thomas as a state rep and I think that
- 19:46Speaker 2: man is genuinely a public servant. He's intelligent and he's
- 19:48Speaker 2: a public servant. You get my drift?
- 19:53Speaker 3: Yes, there are a few good Democrats, and the one
- 19:58Speaker 3: that comes to mind that I like is Dennis Kucinich,
- 20:02Speaker 3: the ex-mayor of Cleveland. Did a fantastic job with Cleveland.
- 20:07Speaker 3: He was a moderate. I mean, a really.
- 20:09Speaker 2: Right.
- 20:10Speaker 3: That's a guy I could vote for.
- 20:11Speaker 2: Right. But he's not around.
- 20:15Speaker 3: Actually, he's still around.
- 20:16Speaker 11: No, no, no, no.
- 20:17Speaker 2: I mean, he's not around running is what I mean. Oh, no, no, no.
- 20:20Speaker 3: But he's still active as a matter of fact.
- 20:23Speaker 2: I understand. But he's not on the ballot. You don't
- 20:25Speaker 2: have the chance to vote for him. I mean, you
- 20:27Speaker 2: have a chance to vote. For Amy Acton, the reality
- 20:32Speaker 2: is she quit when she was the state's doctor. I
- 20:36Speaker 2: don't know if she didn't like the criticism or what's
- 20:38Speaker 2: involved in that. I understand your frustration. I genuinely understand
- 20:44Speaker 2: your frustration. When you speak, I listen because I know
- 20:48Speaker 2: you're an intelligent man, but– I would sit here as
- 20:53Speaker 2: a betting man and say, when you get that ballot,
- 20:57Speaker 2: I bet you vote for Vivek and you don't vote
- 20:59Speaker 2: for Amy Acton.
- 21:00Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, I can tell you that right now. There's
- 21:02Speaker 3: no way I could vote for Amy. But I was
- 21:05Speaker 3: watching Face the Nation this weekend. They had Ron Emanuel on,
- 21:09Speaker 3: you know, the ex-mayor of Chicago.
- 21:11Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 21:11Speaker 3: And he was in the Obama administration. The guy sounded,
- 21:17Speaker 3: if you would hear, I think he's going to be
- 21:20Speaker 3: the candidate.
- 21:24Speaker 2: He could be, but sometimes they position himself like that
- 21:27Speaker 2: so that they could run. But I don't think the
- 21:29Speaker 2: party's going in that direction. I mean, I think the
- 21:32Speaker 2: party is going so far left with these wackos that
- 21:37Speaker 2: Life isn't easy. I'm not owed a bunch of stuff
- 21:40Speaker 2: from life. I've said it numerous times. I mean, health
- 21:43Speaker 2: care isn't a right. Health care is a responsibility as
- 21:45Speaker 2: you grow up. That's your responsibility. I mean, I don't
- 21:50Speaker 2: know where all these people think everything is a right
- 21:53Speaker 2: and should be given to them. What's given to you
- 21:55Speaker 2: is opportunities in this country, and you should take advantage
- 21:58Speaker 2: of them. And I think you and I as older
- 22:01Speaker 2: Americans can maybe see that better than– Well, a lot
- 22:07Speaker 2: of people need a kick in the ass is all
- 22:08Speaker 2: I can say. My friend, it's always an honor talking
- 22:11Speaker 2: to you. I have to pause. Thank you. On NewsRadio

- 22:28Speaker 2: in his city.
- 22:29Speaker 13: The mayor says the Columbus Division of Police will only
- 22:32Speaker 13: keep data gathered by the cameras for only seven days,
- 22:35Speaker 13: not 30 days, which had been the practice. And unless

- 23:22Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb. On NewsRadio 570, WKBN. Hi, back to it.
- 23:29Speaker 1: Welcome to a Monday afternoon, last day of August. Fair
- 23:32Speaker 1: starts this week. And so what are we sitting with?
- 23:35Speaker 2: 88 degrees. Pleasant for this time of the year, right?
- 23:39Speaker 2: Maybe a little hot, a little humid, but we'll appreciate this.
- 23:42Speaker 2: Three months from now, we'll say, what were we bellyaching
- 23:44Speaker 2: about at this time? Hope to find you in good
- 23:48Speaker 2: spirits today. You're on the air. Hello.
- 23:50Speaker 15: Good afternoon, Ronaldo. I'm not a financial expert, but I'm
- 23:54Speaker 15: going to give you and your listeners some tip today.
- 23:56Speaker 15: Buy gasoline today. Don't wait for tomorrow. Crude's over $ 91,
- 24:01Speaker 15: almost $ 92 a barrel. So that means gas stations will
- 24:06Speaker 15: raise their prices today or tomorrow in anticipation of that
- 24:10Speaker 15: higher price when they get their deliveries. So that's my
- 24:13Speaker 15: financial advice.
- 24:14Speaker 2: Why did it go up? Let's see. Stocks fall after U.S.
- 24:18Speaker 2: strikes Iran. Wall Street heads for a winning month. Let
- 24:22Speaker 2: me see. So you're right. The Dow's down 337. S &
- 24:24Speaker 2: P' s down 31. NASDAQ's down 86.
- 24:26Speaker 16: And.
- 24:32Speaker 2: I'm just looking for that. And you know what? That's
- 24:36Speaker 2: the futures market, what they talk. Some of these oil
- 24:38Speaker 2: guys say when you hear these prices, they say try
- 24:41Speaker 2: buying it for that. There's a huge problem. You're a
- 24:47Speaker 2: smart guy. There's a huge problem as far as shortages
- 24:50Speaker 2: are concerned when it comes to diesel fuel and jet
- 24:54Speaker 2: fuel and oil. They're concerned about where this is heading, right? Yes.
- 25:01Speaker 15: Right, and as we spoke before, with this oil coming
- 25:05Speaker 15: out of the Strategic Reserve, that's artificially keeping the price low,
- 25:08Speaker 15: maybe $ 0. 10, $ 0. 15, $ 0. 20 a gallon. If that wasn't being
- 25:12Speaker 15: taken out hundreds of millions or how many millions a day,
- 25:15Speaker 15: you could add another $ 0. 15 to $ 0. 20 on top of
- 25:18Speaker 15: the gasoline. So that's artificially keeping, because you can't do
- 25:21Speaker 15: that forever. But I'm going to address one other number
- 25:24Speaker 15: on Social Security. Now, as somebody that's on Social Security,
- 25:28Speaker 15: I'm watching for the middle of October, and That's when
- 25:31Speaker 15: the cost of living for 2027 will come out. Right
- 25:34Speaker 15: now that's projected at 3.5%. And the price of gasoline
- 25:36Speaker 15: has gone up about 3.4, 3.5 this month alone. So
- 25:39Speaker 15: my dear Social Security fellow recipients, the average payment in
- 25:42Speaker 15: June of 2026 is $ 2, 084.
- 25:42Speaker 3: $ 2, 084.
- 25:42Speaker 15: Of course, that's average. Some people make more. Some people
- 25:47Speaker 15: make less. depending on your age and how much you
- 26:02Speaker 15: put in. And I don't think a whole lot of
- 26:04Speaker 15: people draw the maximum of Social Security, because if you
- 26:08Speaker 15: were to draw the maximum, you would have to be
- 26:11Speaker 15: putting a maximum in for 25 or 30 years or whatever.
- 26:14Speaker 8: What is the maximum?
- 26:15Speaker 2: I don't know too many people that are over the
- 26:17Speaker 2: $ 184, 000 or $ 185, 000 range.
- 26:23Speaker 15: For the past 20, 30 years, whatever, to put the
- 26:25Speaker 15: maximum in.
- 26:26Speaker 2: What would the maximum monthly be on Social Security?
- 26:30Speaker 15: Well, you could look that up. I'm going to look
- 26:33Speaker 15: it up. I think you can get up maybe $ 5, 000, $ 6, 000,
- 26:35Speaker 15: I think. But, again, you'd have to put the maximum
- 26:39Speaker 15: in for almost your entire work life. I don't think
- 26:43Speaker 15: a whole lot of people do, at least the ones
- 26:45Speaker 15: that I know. But if you get that 3.5% on
- 26:49Speaker 15: the average Social Security, that's going to be $ 70, 000. $ 3. 50
- 26:53Speaker 15: for every $ 100, $ 35 for $ 1, 000. So you'll get a
- 26:58Speaker 15: maximum raise of $ 70 a month if you're an average
- 27:02Speaker 15: Social Security. Now, Part B will go up this year.
- 27:05Speaker 15: That hasn't been determined yet. So when Part B, which
- 27:09Speaker 15: comes out of your check automatically, say that's another $ 50.
- 27:12Speaker 2: Well, wait a second. Pause for one second.
- 27:16Speaker 15: $ 70 is now bound to $ 55 a month. And, of course,
- 27:20Speaker 15: there are taxes taken out of Social Security. So what
- 27:23Speaker 15: I'm trying to say is don't think you're going to
- 27:27Speaker 15: live comfortably and fat on the hog on Social Security.
- 27:32Speaker 15: It hasn't kept up with inflation, and it's not going to.
- 27:36Speaker 2: Well, let me bounce a couple things off of you.
- 27:38Speaker 2: I just look. The maximum monthly Social Security retirement benefit.
- 27:42Speaker 6: Is $ 5.
- 27:42Speaker 2: 181 per month. That's if you retire at age 70.
- 27:44Speaker 2: Full retirement age, $.
- 27:45Speaker 5: 4, 152.
- 27:45Speaker 2: Wow.
- 27:52Speaker 15: Yeah, if you put the maximum mean.
- 27:54Speaker 2: So the bottom line is this. I mean, you bring
- 27:57Speaker 2: up a lot of good points. Let me just go
- 28:00Speaker 2: back and talk a little bit about it. Social Security
- 28:04Speaker 2: is a great program. I mean, if you take a
- 28:06Speaker 2: look at how the elderly were treated before we had
- 28:08Speaker 2: Social Security or Medicare. There's a reason why those programs
- 28:12Speaker 2: came around, and they've changed the lifestyle for our elderly
- 28:17Speaker 2: and will continue to do so. So Social Security's got
- 28:21Speaker 2: some financial trouble. As I've said a million times, we
- 28:24Speaker 2: as taxpayers should not be giving billions of dollars to
- 28:27Speaker 2: any country. We should put some of that money into
- 28:31Speaker 2: Social Security to make it sound for our senior citizens
- 28:34Speaker 2: in their retirement years. so that they don't have to
- 28:37Speaker 2: worry what happens to Social Security in seven or eight years.
- 28:42Speaker 2: So that would be number one. Medicare as well has
- 28:46Speaker 2: some financial problems, and money should be put into that.
- 28:49Speaker 2: I mean, you bring up a lot of great points.
- 28:54Speaker 2: So as you're talking, I'm thinking of a couple of
- 28:56Speaker 2: things that I would say to each of you. Here's
- 29:02Speaker 2: my unsolicited advice, just my opinion, all right, that I
- 29:06Speaker 2: give to all of you out there listening. I was
- 29:09Speaker 2: just reading this morning that 54% of the people on
- 29:12Speaker 2: Medicare are on Medicare Advantage plans. From my perspective, from me,
- 29:17Speaker 2: Ron Verb, I personally do not recommend Medicare Advantage plans.
- 29:22Speaker 2: I'm personally dead set and opposed to them. I believe
- 29:26Speaker 2: when you get to be 65, you should get on
- 29:28Speaker 2: standard Medicare plans. Medicare Advantage is private sector insurance. It
- 29:33Speaker 2: is just funded by Medicare. And with Medicare Advantage, you
- 29:37Speaker 2: have HMOs and PPOs, and you have to get pre-approval.
- 29:40Speaker 2: and you can be denied the pre-approval, and you can
- 29:45Speaker 2: also have systems that opt out of the Medicare Advantage.
- 29:49Speaker 2: Some main hospitals can say, we're no longer going to
- 29:54Speaker 2: accept that. So I think Medicare Advantage should be called
- 29:58Speaker 2: Medicare Disadvantage. I personally would never, if you're getting close
- 30:02Speaker 2: to retirement, ever, in my opinion, go on a Medicare
- 30:05Speaker 2: Advantage plan. I don't care if they sell you, oh,
- 30:09Speaker 2: you can get dental coverage or you can get this
- 30:11Speaker 2: or that. It's not– in my opinion, it's not worth the–
- 30:19Speaker 2: disadvantages that come. If you go on standard Medicare, you
- 30:23Speaker 2: don't have to get, there are no HMOs. You can
- 30:26Speaker 2: go anywhere you want that accepts Medicare. You don't have
- 30:28Speaker 2: to get pre-approvals to see a specialist. You do not
- 30:31Speaker 2: need pre-approvals to see a specialist with standard Medicare. There
- 30:36Speaker 2: are no networks with standard Medicare. If you're here or
- 30:42Speaker 2: in Florida or traveling, you're not affected by any of
- 30:46Speaker 2: that stuff. It's accepted anywhere. So standard Medicare, when I
- 30:52Speaker 2: see the majority of people are on these Medicare Advantage plans,
- 30:56Speaker 2: and once you get on a Medicare Advantage plan, it's
- 31:01Speaker 2: damn near difficult, if not impossible, to get back on
- 31:04Speaker 2: standard Medicare. Many of these people sell you Medicare Advantage
- 31:07Speaker 2: plans because they think it's in their best interest, not
- 31:10Speaker 2: in your best interest. Once again, in my opinion, you're
- 31:13Speaker 2: better off on standard Medicare. And I would also say
- 31:18Speaker 2: that obviously you've got to get a supplemental plan. With Medicare,
- 31:23Speaker 2: Plan G covers all your deductibles. So you pay $ 202
- 31:28Speaker 2: a month out of your Social Security check for your
- 31:30Speaker 2: Medicare Part B. $ 202 comes out of your check. So
- 31:36Speaker 2: if you get a Plan G, it depends on some
- 31:40Speaker 2: of your health situations. But let's say that could be
- 31:42Speaker 2: anywhere from $ 140 to $ 200 a month. These are the
- 31:48Speaker 2: charges I'm mentioning are a month. So every month you
- 31:51Speaker 2: pay that. But guess what? Once you pay on standard
- 31:54Speaker 2: Medicare a $ 275 deductible for the year, there are no
- 32:00Speaker 2: more deductibles that you will pay. Everything is covered. You
- 32:04Speaker 2: still pay your monthly cost of 202 and whatever your
- 32:07Speaker 2: plan G cost. Everything is covered from that point on.
- 32:11Speaker 2: There's no nothing that you have to worry about as
- 32:14Speaker 2: you get older. And as you get older, one thing
- 32:16Speaker 2: is for certain.
- 32:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 32:17Speaker 2: At some point you will get sick because you're getting
- 32:20Speaker 2: closer to the end of life. And I, and you
- 32:22Speaker 2: will thank me a million times that you went with
- 32:25Speaker 2: standard Medicare and you will thank me because of the
- 32:28Speaker 2: difference you will find in, in skilled nursing care and
- 32:34Speaker 2: some of the requirements involved. That is my personal opinion.
- 32:38Speaker 2: So that's the one piece.
- 32:39Speaker 15: Medicare Advantage plans are privately run.
- 32:42Speaker 2: That's correct.
- 32:43Speaker 15: Medicare gives them a certain amount monthly for the people
- 32:46Speaker 15: that sign up. And Medicare is hoping that it costs less,
- 32:53Speaker 15: and so does that private company. So if you approach that,
- 32:57Speaker 15: whatever that monthly amount is that Medicare has paid that
- 33:00Speaker 15: private company, That private company has $ 2, 000 for me for
- 33:05Speaker 15: a month. Well, if it gets close to that $ 2, 000,
- 33:08Speaker 15: and even maybe not, since it's a privately run company, boy,
- 33:14Speaker 15: that denied stamp comes out quite often.
- 33:16Speaker 18: Right.
- 33:18Speaker 2: Most private sector insurance plans are what Medicare Advantage is like,
- 33:22Speaker 2: and they suck. I'm saying standard Medicare is just a better–
- 33:26Speaker 2: there are no networks. There are no HMOs, PPOs. You
- 33:30Speaker 2: don't need preapproval. And if you– the 202 is the
- 33:35Speaker 2: same that you would pay on Medicare Advantage or standard Medicare.
- 33:38Speaker 2: And if you get a Plan G for whatever that costs,
- 33:41Speaker 2: you will be far better off without having to worry
- 33:45Speaker 2: about the expenses, which can be astronomical as life goes on. Now,
- 33:50Speaker 2: you would be on a hook for dental in your eyeglasses,
- 33:53Speaker 2: but that's a small price to pay unless you want
- 33:55Speaker 2: to get insurance to cover that for the huge difference
- 34:00Speaker 2: that you make on– On Medicare. Well, I'm on a
- 34:05Speaker 2: roll in general, and it depends on your employment. It
- 34:08Speaker 2: depends on your health. There are many variables that are
- 34:11Speaker 2: out there. But there's a guy saying in a Rockport show,
- 34:16Speaker 2: Truth Investing on Monday nights, and I agree with them,
- 34:19Speaker 2: that you don't retire based on an age. You really,
- 34:27Speaker 2: really should, more than likely. I don't think you should
- 34:31Speaker 2: plan on taking your Social Security. And there's variables, obviously,
- 34:35Speaker 2: your health and the status of your employment. But you
- 34:38Speaker 2: should try to put it off at least until you
- 34:40Speaker 2: hit Medicare age of 65 so that you can have coverage.
- 34:44Speaker 2: You should probably not take Social Security until you hit 65.
- 34:50Speaker 2: And if your full retirement age is 67... You can
- 34:54Speaker 2: actually take Medicare when you turn 66, or you can
- 34:58Speaker 2: take Social Security when you are 66, and you can
- 35:02Speaker 2: make like $ 66, 000 without any penalties for that final year.
- 35:09Speaker 15: Well, you know, Social Security, I'm always against raising the
- 35:13Speaker 15: age limit. Because a cement worker or a roofer, maybe
- 35:17Speaker 15: their body is shot by the age of 62, as
- 35:20Speaker 15: in maybe an accountant or a radio show host who
- 35:23Speaker 15: has it so easy.
- 35:24Speaker 2: Well, now, wait a minute here. Listen here, Bucko. I'll
- 35:27Speaker 2: tell you this, and I make it– I'm not– at
- 35:31Speaker 2: my age now, I'm not the man I was a
- 35:33Speaker 2: few years ago. As time goes on, as you well know,
- 35:37Speaker 2: changes do happen. And I agree with you. Absolutely.
- 35:43Speaker 15: But listen, my friends, on Social Security, it's a supplement.
- 35:47Speaker 15: And if you haven't got yourself a little bit in
- 35:50Speaker 15: better financial shape or have other things coming in, it's
- 35:55Speaker 15: going to be a tough road to hoe. Social Security
- 35:57Speaker 15: alone will not provide you with a cushy lifestyle. And
- 36:01Speaker 15: more and more Americans, due to pensions going away and
- 36:03Speaker 15: different things, it's the primary income or the sole income
- 36:07Speaker 15: for a large percentage of senior citizens.
- 36:10Speaker 2: Yes, it is, and I agree with that. I appreciate it.
- 36:14Speaker 15: All right, Ron, thanks.
- 36:14Speaker 2: Thank you. I would also say to– I do a
- 36:18Speaker 2: program with guys from Yoast Insurance. They're out of Columbiana,
- 36:23Speaker 2: and all they do is Medicare, whether they look at
- 36:27Speaker 2: your situation, whether it's standard Medicare or Medicare Advantage, and
- 36:31Speaker 2: basically do an analysis for you. And I tell you,
- 36:34Speaker 2: they're pretty sharp guys. Most people don't follow enough on–
- 36:40Speaker 2: know enough about Medicare to really make a sound decision
- 36:44Speaker 2: on it. And this decision you make can be one
- 36:47Speaker 2: that can come back to haunt you. I mean, you know,
- 36:50Speaker 2: so sometimes it's good to get some professional advice, Yost Insurance,
- 36:55Speaker 2: those guys will give it to you. But like I say,
- 36:59Speaker 2: you know, To me, Medicare Advantage should be called Medicare Disadvantage.
- 37:04Speaker 2: There's just too many things that can come back to
- 37:07Speaker 2: bite you in the ass as you get older. Let's see.
- 37:11Speaker 2: Medicare Advantage works until it doesn't. You travel and get
- 37:15Speaker 2: sick and out of network. Okay, this guy says you're screwed.
- 37:19Speaker 2: Let me go through this here. Let's see. I want
- 37:22Speaker 2: to get this. Wait a second here. Medicare Advantage works
- 37:25Speaker 2: until it doesn't. You travel and get sick and out
- 37:27Speaker 2: of network, you're screwed. You get an expensive illness. Everything
- 37:30Speaker 2: is prior authorization and denied. They are in business to
- 37:33Speaker 2: make money. The government is not. And that is 100% true.
- 37:37Speaker 2: And my wife will say that, you know, my wife
- 37:40Speaker 2: is a cancer nurse. And she's, I think she would
- 37:48Speaker 2: say that you should always be on regular Medicare. You're
- 37:51Speaker 2: on the air.
- 37:52Speaker 11: Noddles.
- 37:54Speaker 2: Theodore, the conservative.
- 37:57Speaker 6: I had to call in.
- 37:58Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad you did. You know, that's what I'm
- 38:02Speaker 2: all about here. If you want, I could start playing records,
- 38:05Speaker 2: you know, the greatest hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
- 38:09Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's funny because I heard a commercial today.
- 38:11Speaker 6: Last week, people were complaining about the commercials on YouTube.
- 38:16Speaker 6: Then I heard a commercial for iHeart on my podcast,
- 38:18Speaker 6: and they talked about how it's free because the advertisers.
- 38:22Speaker 11: Paid a fee.
- 38:23Speaker 2: That's right. You know, when you talk about that, folks,
- 38:28Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you, contrary to radio listening is huge.
- 38:33Speaker 2: And I mean, it is absolutely I mean, radio listening
- 38:37Speaker 2: is just it's just huge. Why is it huge? Well,
- 38:40Speaker 2: it's it's free. It's in your car. It's easy access.
- 38:44Speaker 2: And it's and yeah, there are commercials that pretty well.
- 38:48Speaker 2: pay for everything, and it's becoming more and more difficult
- 38:52Speaker 2: for these big companies. These big companies, of which I
- 38:55Speaker 2: work for one, they have their own separate agenda, if
- 38:59Speaker 2: you will, and how they see the future. Our division
- 39:06Speaker 2: here does very, very good, but iHeart as a whole
- 39:10Speaker 2: certainly has its issues, to say the least. Technology is
- 39:15Speaker 2: changing everything.
- 39:16Speaker 6: I think you're a big I think you're a big
- 39:18Speaker 6: reason for the success of iHeart and the series. I'm
- 39:22Speaker 6: afraid to see what's going to happen one day when
- 39:24Speaker 6: you decide to hang up the microphone.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Well, everything– hey, I've been blessed for.
- 39:30Speaker 6: All good things come to an end, right?
- 39:32Speaker 2: Well, you know, they do at some point. They absolutely do.
- 39:39Speaker 2: It's odd that you mention that because I was thinking about–
- 39:43Speaker 2: It'll be sad when Bill Cunningham retires, which Bill Cunningham
- 39:46Speaker 2: was supposed to retire when Trump got elected. He was
- 39:50Speaker 2: going to retire, and then he said, well, I might
- 39:51Speaker 2: as well stick around for the Trump years and see
- 39:56Speaker 2: how that goes. But I think he's a sheer asset.
- 39:59Speaker 2: Like I said, I'm sorry, Clay and Buck are just–
- 40:03Speaker 2: they can't even shine Rush Limbaugh's shoes. I miss Rush Limbaugh,
- 40:07Speaker 2: and I'd be curious what he has to say about
- 40:09Speaker 2: a lot of the stuff that's going on. I would really–
- 40:12Speaker 2: Be curious what Rush has to say. He's one of
- 40:15Speaker 2: the pain.
- 40:16Speaker 6: I listen to radio. Just to confirm what you said
- 40:19Speaker 6: about how huge radio is, I listen to radio or
- 40:24Speaker 6: podcasts of radio shows all day. I don't watch TV.
- 40:29Speaker 6: I used to watch TV a little bit, but now
- 40:31Speaker 6: you can get that same information in different ways. I've
- 40:33Speaker 6: got headphones on from the time I wake up to
- 40:36Speaker 6: the time I go to bed, to be.
- 40:37Speaker 2: Honest with Right, and even if– I mean, Armstrong and
- 40:42Speaker 2: Getty is a pretty good show if you listen to it.
- 40:45Speaker 2: I mean, it's pretty good. Those guys are really– Those.
- 40:48Speaker 6: Guys aren't bad. I miss the local stuff. You know,
- 40:51Speaker 6: we don't have very much of it other than you
- 40:53Speaker 6: and there's some local sports guys around, but I do
- 40:56Speaker 6: miss the local stuff because we could talk national stuff.
- 40:59Speaker 6: We could also– but more importantly, local things that affect us.
- 41:03Speaker 2: Right.
- 41:04Speaker 6: But, you know, it is what it is, but I
- 41:06Speaker 6: don't think people realize how big radio is. But I
- 41:08Speaker 6: had to call when I heard Emmanuel.
- 41:12Speaker 2: And you know what?
- 41:14Speaker 6: We've got to change his name. Because every time I
- 41:19Speaker 6: hear him, I think of Dave Chappelle. We've got to
- 41:21Speaker 6: call him Dave or Chappelle or maybe Mini-Me, maybe. I
- 41:24Speaker 6: don't know. But, you know, man, he could be a
- 41:27Speaker 6: stand-in for Dave Chappelle.
- 41:30Speaker 2: Stand by, Ted. Stand by. Back with Ted the Conservative
- 41:34Speaker 2: in a minute. Well, hi again.
- 41:38Speaker 1: This is 70 WKBN.
- 41:45Speaker 2: All righty. Back to it. News Radio 570 WKBN. All right, Ted.
- 41:51Speaker 11: Yes, sir.
- 41:51Speaker 6: I've been saying since the days that you voted for
- 41:55Speaker 6: President Obama, go back to Obama Romney, I think it was, right?
- 42:00Speaker 6: I've been saying to you since, what was that? I
- 42:03Speaker 6: don't know how long ago was that, 16 years ago,
- 42:05Speaker 6: 18 years ago? I've been telling you for 18 years
- 42:08Speaker 6: you can never vote for a Democrat. And so I'm
- 42:11Speaker 6: not sure how Dave Chappelle got me confused with that one.
- 42:16Speaker 2: Well, I think his philosophy, though he has a whole
- 42:18Speaker 2: different philosophy. I think his philosophy is you can't vote
- 42:22Speaker 2: for a Republican, but I don't understand that mindset. I
- 42:27Speaker 2: just don't get it.
- 42:29Speaker 6: You hit him. Every bullet point he prepared over the weekend,
- 42:33Speaker 6: you erased. He talked about inflate wall. Let's be clear.
- 42:39Speaker 6: What we're saying isn't an endorsement of Trump's performance, but
- 42:44Speaker 6: the Trump economy is better. Inflation is better. The border
- 42:47Speaker 6: is closed. We know more about Epstein now than we
- 42:50Speaker 6: ever knew. We can go on and on and on.
- 42:54Speaker 6: You can't even compare Democrats.
- 42:56Speaker 8: To Trump.
- 42:58Speaker 6: As bad as Trump is, he's still better than any Democrat.
- 43:01Speaker 2: Listen, Biden didn't have a cabinet meeting for over a year.
- 43:05Speaker 2: Trump has cabinet meetings all the time and puts them
- 43:08Speaker 2: on television. Not as much lately because of the war,
- 43:11Speaker 2: I'm sure, and a lot of that they can't broadcast.
- 43:14Speaker 2: But Biden wasn't even running a country, and the people
- 43:18Speaker 2: that were around him were lying to you that he's
- 43:21Speaker 2: sharp as a tack and we're doing it. One of
- 43:23Speaker 2: the biggest lies and cover-ups that has ever happened was
- 43:26Speaker 2: a guy that wasn't running a country because he couldn't.
- 43:28Speaker 2: His schedule was totally empty. Well, who was running a country?
- 43:31Speaker 2: Who was making these decisions?
- 43:33Speaker 6: I think it was President Obama.
- 43:36Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. I don't speculate on it.
- 43:38Speaker 2: Some people say... Some people say... Those people were in
- 43:41Speaker 2: the background. Yeah, but I mean, the guy that was
- 43:43Speaker 2: elected wasn't running the country. And that's a giant cover-up
- 43:47Speaker 2: by the party that he supports. And the stuff that
- 43:51Speaker 2: he did, the open border, and then the lie to
- 43:53Speaker 2: you telling you the border was secure, it was a lie.
- 43:58Speaker 2: Harris was a liar.
- 43:59Speaker 6: Biden's a liar. But he said there are strategic oil reserves.
- 44:01Speaker 6: I mean.
- 44:02Speaker 2: Right.
- 44:03Speaker 6: He ran his policy. People say, ah, presidents don't matter.
- 44:07Speaker 6: And I'm like, you must not be very smart to
- 44:10Speaker 6: say something like that. Policy drives our engine. And his
- 44:15Speaker 6: policy against fossil fuels are the reasons we.
- 44:19Speaker 11: Had $ 5.
- 44:19Speaker 9: 50 a gallon of gasoline.
- 44:20Speaker 6: If you remember... The only way they can get it down,
- 44:26Speaker 6: because once the policies were in place, they had to
- 44:28Speaker 6: plug the market. So what'd they do? They opened this
- 44:29Speaker 6: ticket on the strategic reserves. Now we're at war, and
- 44:33Speaker 6: that's what a strategic reserve is for.
- 44:35Speaker 2: Stand by. Back in a minute, more calls ahead. 100
- 44:38Speaker 2: years ago in 1921, the law... Coach John Arnold Studios.

- 45:05Speaker 19: Iran's latest attack on U.S. military sites in Jordan, which

- 45:12Speaker 19: launchers to prevent more sea mines. from being sent into
- 45:15Speaker 19: the Strait of Hormuz. This as the president announced what
- 45:18Speaker 19: he calls one of his signature affordability initiatives, with nine
- 45:22Speaker 19: more pharmaceutical companies reaching most favored nation agreements for drugs
- 45:27Speaker 19: sold in the US. That makes 26 companies in all.
- 45:30Speaker 18: It's the largest drug discounts, the largest price reductions in
- 45:36Speaker 18: the history of medicine.
- 45:37Speaker 2: I would say that's pretty big.
- 45:39Speaker 19: Flanked by pharma executives in the Oval Office, the president
- 45:42Speaker 19: also urging Congress to expand the agreements and make them law.
- 45:45Speaker 19: Vice President J.D. Vance visiting Michigan to highlight an ongoing
- 45:49Speaker 19: crackdown on foreign truck drivers not legally licensed, some involved
- 45:53Speaker 19: in deadly crashes.
- 45:54Speaker 17: Today is about restoring the basic principle that if you
- 46:00Speaker 17: want to drive a big truck on America's roads... You
- 46:04Speaker 17: ought to be able to speak English. You ought to
- 46:06Speaker 17: be a legal resident of the United States of America.

- 47:50Speaker 2: All right, so reflecting with Ted the Conservative, but he
- 47:57Speaker 2: takes me back. Listen, most of my life, or a
- 48:01Speaker 2: lot of my life, I've always been voting for the
- 48:03Speaker 2: lesser of two evils. In most cases. I mean, I
- 48:07Speaker 2: enthusiastically voted for Ross Perot. I enthusiastically voted for Donald Trump.
- 48:12Speaker 2: I mean, there's times that there's always been those shining lights.
- 48:15Speaker 2: Reagan would fall into those categories. But I always thought,
- 48:19Speaker 2: for the most part, whether it was Democrats or Republicans,
- 48:21Speaker 2: most presidents were globalists and really out of touch with
- 48:25Speaker 2: Joe Bagadona. It didn't matter to me. And frankly, I
- 48:28Speaker 2: thought most people in Congress and senators fell into that category.
- 48:33Speaker 2: category as well most people have been disappointments they weren't
- 48:36Speaker 2: public servants or they were in it for themselves or
- 48:39Speaker 2: whatever purpose and unfortunately that i think is a large
- 48:43Speaker 2: part of of what you see today from a lot
- 48:46Speaker 2: of people but but not all you know not not
- 48:50Speaker 2: not all but uh the democrat party has just gotten
- 48:53Speaker 2: more bizarre as time has gone on i mean the
- 48:56Speaker 2: republican party has changed like i say to ted all
- 48:58Speaker 2: the time it was the party of the country club
- 49:00Speaker 2: elites And it became more the party of America first.
- 49:03Speaker 2: Trump changed the Republican Party, and a lot of Republicans
- 49:06Speaker 2: weren't happy about it. And the leftist Democrats changed the
- 49:10Speaker 2: Democrat Party from what it used to be during my
- 49:13Speaker 2: father's time to what it is today, which is a
- 49:15Speaker 2: party of oddballs and misfits and socialists and the big
- 49:21Speaker 2: tent of weirdos, if you will. So, you know, it's,
- 49:26Speaker 2: I don't know what to say. I mean, when I
- 49:27Speaker 2: was reading that stuff about Amy Acton, that's troubling to me.
- 49:31Speaker 6: Yeah, and I told you that was going to be
- 49:34Speaker 6: a tough one when we saw it play out. I
- 49:37Speaker 6: told you I thought Trussell would have been the best guy.
- 49:40Speaker 6: for that position, and he would have won, he would
- 49:42Speaker 6: have won by 20 points. But, you know, something else
- 49:45Speaker 6: I made an observation of when it comes to Trump,
- 49:47Speaker 6: with guys like Emanuel or Mini-Me or Chappelle, whatever you
- 49:51Speaker 6: want to call them, they dislike, and J.J. used to
- 49:54Speaker 6: be like this until he went to the doctor, and
- 49:56Speaker 6: now he's J.J. the Trumpster. But they dislike the person
- 50:00Speaker 6: so much. And they have many reasons, there's many reasons
- 50:03Speaker 6: to not like Donald Trump. They dislike him so much
- 50:06Speaker 6: that they just can't get past that to see anything
- 50:09Speaker 6: good he does. But I don't need to repeat what
- 50:11Speaker 6: you said. I mean, it's night and day when you
- 50:14Speaker 6: compare what Donald Trump has done for the country compared
- 50:17Speaker 6: to Joe Biden. But there's something else I've got to say,
- 50:20Speaker 6: because before we hang up, the guy that you called
- 50:23Speaker 6: the smart caller a few calls ago, we can't call
- 50:27Speaker 6: him the smart caller. We can call him the finance
- 50:30Speaker 6: guy or the director of finance or whatever you want
- 50:32Speaker 6: to call him. But when someone refers to Dennis Kucinich
- 50:37Speaker 6: as a moderate, They're not smart. They're a financial genius,
- 50:42Speaker 6: but politically they're lacking knowledge. Dennis Kucinich, when he was
- 50:47Speaker 6: in office, was labeled as one of the most liberal,
- 50:51Speaker 6: progressive Democrats there was. And I think he's.
- 50:57Speaker 2: Listening to too much conspiracy theory. No, because if you
- 51:01Speaker 2: go by the standard then to the standard now, he
- 51:04Speaker 2: would be considered a moderate in a Democrat party.
- 51:07Speaker 6: He was progressive when we didn't have AOC.
- 51:12Speaker 2: He was more of a normal progressive as opposed to
- 51:15Speaker 2: the wacky ones today. You've got to keep in mind.
- 51:18Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 51:19Speaker 6: He championed a single-payer universal health care. He's the big
- 51:23Speaker 6: EPA guy. I can go on and on and on.
- 51:27Speaker 6: I don't want to waste your time. But he was
- 51:30Speaker 6: an AOC before AOC. So we've got to be clear
- 51:33Speaker 6: on that.
- 51:33Speaker 2: He is not a moderate. Not to that level, but...
- 51:37Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. He's an old guy and he's not running,
- 51:40Speaker 2: as I said to him. So it really doesn't matter what's...
- 51:43Speaker 2: As I said to him... as I would say to you,
- 51:45Speaker 2: you have two choices, Amy Acton or Vivek. You make
- 51:49Speaker 2: the decision because Amy Acton is just more, she's going
- 51:53Speaker 2: to be a liberal tilt. You'll see more taxes, more
- 51:56Speaker 2: government taken from you and handed out to this person
- 52:00Speaker 2: and more of the far left policies that don't work
- 52:03Speaker 2: in any state. Now, why would you want that here
- 52:06Speaker 2: in this state? Not that DeWine hasn't been a disappointment
- 52:09Speaker 2: and Republicans have had some disappointing things, but if it
- 52:12Speaker 2: wasn't for The Republicans, whether that's Dave Thomas really spearheading
- 52:20Speaker 2: it and our local Republicans, Tex Fisher and those folks
- 52:24Speaker 2: supporting it, you wouldn't have the cap on the increase
- 52:28Speaker 2: on your property taxes at the cost of inflation. If
- 52:31Speaker 2: it wasn't for the Republicans, that wouldn't exist. You would
- 52:35Speaker 2: be looking at– a 20% to 30% increase on your
- 52:38Speaker 2: property taxes again. It's the Republicans that change that to
- 52:44Speaker 2: keep more money in your pocket. That's the difference.
- 52:47Speaker 6: If it were up to Democrats, at the local level,
- 52:50Speaker 6: we could bring it down to McNally. I mean, she's
- 52:52Speaker 6: not in favor of giving you any tax relief. She
- 52:55Speaker 6: wants more of your money. And we can go from
- 52:58Speaker 6: her to the state level, whether it's Amy Acton, or
- 53:02Speaker 6: the Democrats trying to take over some seats in the
- 53:05Speaker 6: House in Columbus, they want more of your money. I
- 53:09Speaker 6: believe one of your guys that calls in, I forget
- 53:12Speaker 6: his name, I'm tongue-tied right now, but he talked about
- 53:15Speaker 6: Amy Atkins' budget a few weeks ago, and she will
- 53:18Speaker 6: blow the budget out of the current budget. She would
- 53:20Speaker 6: exceed that by an astronomical amount of money if her
- 53:25Speaker 6: spending plans are so big. They want more of your
- 53:28Speaker 6: tax dollars. So it's gotten to the point of an
- 53:31Speaker 6: ideology where we used to be, and it used to
- 53:33Speaker 6: be an ideology how you couldn't vote for a Democrat.
- 53:36Speaker 6: Now you can compound that with their attitude on your money.
- 53:42Speaker 6: So they think they best know how to spend your money,
- 53:45Speaker 6: and their political ideology is just off the charts. I
- 53:49Speaker 6: don't understand how anyone can vote for a Democrat. I
- 53:51Speaker 6: really don't. I mean, it's scary. When you think about
- 53:55Speaker 6: the moral issues, the political issues, the tax issues, and
- 54:00Speaker 6: then they compare that to the– it's not even a comparison.
- 54:03Speaker 6: I just don't understand it. There's a mental block somewhere.
- 54:08Speaker 6: And maybe it's just because they just dislike Trump so
- 54:10Speaker 6: much they're willing to accept that stuff. I don't know.
- 54:13Speaker 6: But I know I will never vote for Democrats. And
- 54:15Speaker 6: I agree with you last week. Yeah, there might be
- 54:17Speaker 6: a good one here and there locally, but I'll never
- 54:20Speaker 6: vote for him. I don't care.
- 54:21Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
- 54:22Speaker 6: Because I know that person's voting for Joe Biden or
- 54:25Speaker 6: Kamala Harris or Dennis Kucinich or Amy Atkins.
- 54:28Speaker 2: Or has that philosophy. Right. I'm with you. I get you.
- 54:32Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 54:32Speaker 8: All right.
- 54:32Speaker 2: Thanks, man. Appreciate it. News Radio 570 WKBN. People who
- 54:36Speaker 2: consume greater amounts of a popular artificial sweetener could face
- 54:40Speaker 2: a greater risk of heart attack and stroke, a new
- 54:43Speaker 2: study suggests. The research, which was presented at the ESC
- 54:48Speaker 2: Cardiology Congress in Germany... showed that higher levels of X, Y, L, I, T, O, L, xylitol,
- 55:00Speaker 2: that's what I would say, xylitol in the blood were
- 55:03Speaker 2: associated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiac, cardiovascular events.
- 55:09Speaker 2: Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that, that is commonly used
- 55:13Speaker 2: as a low-calorie sweetener and sugar substitute, according to the
- 55:17Speaker 2: National Institute of Health. It is often used in higher
- 55:20Speaker 2: amounts to sweeten foods, drinks, chewing gum, and dental care products.
- 55:25Speaker 2: Researchers followed two large study cohorts of more than 17,000
- 55:31Speaker 2: Canadians and British participants. Over a six-year follow-up, people in
- 55:35Speaker 2: Canada with the highest xylitol levels had a 57% higher
- 55:43Speaker 2: risk of death. Pretty substantial difference. Myocardial infraction or stroke
- 55:52Speaker 2: related to cardiovascular events compared to those with lower levels.
- 55:56Speaker 2: Over 30 years participants in the prospective investigation into cancer
- 56:04Speaker 2: Norfolk group with the highest Xylitol levels had an 18%
- 56:08Speaker 2: greater risk.
- 56:14Speaker 23: Hmm.
- 56:14Speaker 2: So I guess there's something you should avoid. Xylitol, you know,
- 56:20Speaker 2: you don't want to use that as a sugar substitute.
- 56:24Speaker 2: Some bad side effects come from that. You're on the air.
- 56:30Speaker 24: If you notice around Easter, Passover time, These stores, your
- 56:39Speaker 24: Giant Eagle, your Marks, whatever, will have the Throwback Mountain Dew.
- 56:47Speaker 24: Those all have some name like that.
- 56:50Speaker 6: Dr.
- 56:50Speaker 8: Pepper, Pepsi, blah, blah, blah. Because for Passover, they go kosher. Because,
- 56:57Speaker 8: as Ron already knows, because it's probably because of his lovely.
- 57:01Speaker 24: And talented wife, High fructose corn syrup ain't good for you.
- 57:05Speaker 24: Any of these artificial.
- 57:06Speaker 8: Things, right?
- 57:08Speaker 24: Go kosher, it's better. I'm not saying you have to
- 57:11Speaker 24: be Jewish. I'm saying it's better for your health. Look,
- 57:15Speaker 24: every time we turn around, it's another thing. It's another
- 57:18Speaker 24: thing that's not good for you. Artificial stuff ain't good
- 57:21Speaker 24: for you.
- 57:22Speaker 2: But you're spot on. I mean, my wife, if you
- 57:25Speaker 2: came and told my wife, what do you want, margarine
- 57:29Speaker 2: or butter? I mean, she will always pick the real thing. Butter, sugar,
- 57:35Speaker 2: the real thing versus any of these artificial things, which
- 57:40Speaker 2: too many chemicals. And when it comes to cooking, it just, it's... Well,
- 57:45Speaker 2: it depends if you know how to cook, and she does. So,
- 57:47Speaker 2: you know, I can just tell you when it comes
- 57:49Speaker 2: to that stuff, she doesn't go for it.
- 57:52Speaker 24: No, and it goes across the board. I'm born and
- 58:01Speaker 24: raised still, even though we've got a crappy pope again.
- 58:05Speaker 24: I'm still Catholic. Okay, but follow some of their rules
- 58:10Speaker 24: because it's better for you. And even most of the
- 58:17Speaker 24: religious edicts have been around for thousands of years. Oh,
- 58:20Speaker 24: we have fish on Friday. Oh, you crazy people have
- 58:22Speaker 24: fish on Friday. And then the real people that tell
- 58:26Speaker 24: you the truth say, well, you should eat fish at
- 58:29Speaker 24: least once a week. Well, wait, why don't you just
- 58:32Speaker 24: put it on Friday and then that all works out?
- 58:35Speaker 24: You get to fulfill your religious obligation and you're healthier
- 58:39Speaker 24: for it, right? It's just all those things. And then
- 58:43Speaker 24: look at the people. Look at the people. Jerry Seinfeld,
- 58:48Speaker 24: are you a fan of the Seinfeld show?
- 58:50Speaker 2: Who is it?
- 58:51Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 58:52Speaker 8: Who isn't, right?
- 58:54Speaker 24: You've got Jerry Seinfeld, and then you've got that goofball,
- 58:58Speaker 24: Larry David, who's still funny. It doesn't matter. The funniest
- 59:02Speaker 24: person ever to live, I don't know, I guess in
- 59:05Speaker 24: our lifetimes, maybe not in mine because I think I'm
- 59:07Speaker 24: dead already, but Groucho Marx. He's just that. All the
- 59:11Speaker 24: guys from the old-time radio, George Burns, what was his name,
- 59:16Speaker 24: Birnbaum or something, Jack Benny, Benjamin Jackmanovitz, they were all
- 59:21Speaker 24: the Jews. Those people got some stuff going on. They're
- 59:26Speaker 24: the doctors, the lawyers, the scientists, and the comedians. Harold
- 59:31Speaker 24: Ramis in all his movies, Stripes, Animal House, go down
- 59:35Speaker 24: the list. It just keeps coming, and it's genius from
- 59:40Speaker 24: that group of people. I don't know why we're still
- 59:42Speaker 24: against them, but.
- 59:47Speaker 24: Here we are today. I don't know. It seems like
- 59:50Speaker 24: we don't pay attention to things. Like you just read
- 59:53Speaker 24: about the xylitol. Stop it, people. It's not going to work.
- 59:58Speaker 24: Regular sugar isn't your enemy. This man-made stuff is your enemy.
- 1:00:02Speaker 8: It'll kill you.
- 1:00:04Speaker 24: Like Ron's just reading about. How we can stop the
- 1:00:07Speaker 24: Muslim takeover of America, like Hamtramck, Michigan, Dearborn, and this
- 1:00:13Speaker 24: is the weirdest one of all, Plano, Texas. This is
- 1:00:19Speaker 24: the thing we have to worry about. Do you have any,
- 1:00:22Speaker 24: your daughter got married. Do you have any grandchildren yet, Ron?
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: No, I don't.
- 1:00:26Speaker 8: Okay. I mean, you're old as hell, so I just
- 1:00:29Speaker 8: figured you.
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: Probably had a couple.
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: Wait a minute.
- 1:00:31Speaker 24: Wait a minute.
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: Wait a minute.
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: But just when I started feeling good about myself, you
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: slapped me right down.
- 1:00:39Speaker 24: That's my job around here.
- 1:00:41Speaker 8: That's what I get paid for.
- 1:00:42Speaker 24: But, you know, people worrying about their kids and now
- 1:00:46Speaker 24: worrying about your grandkids. And you're going to have them.
- 1:00:49Speaker 24: You know, God will bless you with them. It will
- 1:00:50Speaker 24: be great, super. But what's the place going to look like?
- 1:00:55Speaker 24: I mean, we have– right now we have whatever, city
- 1:00:58Speaker 24: council meetings telling the people, hey, you ain't welcome here
- 1:01:02Speaker 24: no more, Whitey. You ain't welcome here no more, Christian.
- 1:01:08Speaker 24: That's a big threat, and I don't know, with the Constitution,
- 1:01:12Speaker 24: how we stop it. We need to get smart people
- 1:01:15Speaker 24: on the front line, and I have to throw in
- 1:01:23Speaker 24: props to Ted the Conservative, because he's actually right, because
- 1:01:29Speaker 24: the same person recommended Graham Platner and Ro Khanna. Okay, okay, okay,
- 1:01:37Speaker 24: you have to go over there in that area. Or
- 1:01:39Speaker 24: we just don't listen to your political advice. Ted was
- 1:01:42Speaker 24: very generous and said, hey, maybe we'll listen to your
- 1:01:45Speaker 24: financial advice but not your political advice because you seem
- 1:01:48Speaker 24: to be insane on that. But we need to round
- 1:01:52Speaker 24: up the people. Get the people on point and stop this.
- 1:01:56Speaker 24: They have a plan. Your guys in the morning that
- 1:01:59Speaker 24: you talked about, they talk about the Red-Green Alliance because
- 1:02:03Speaker 24: it's the Marxist and the Islamist. You have a lot
- 1:02:07Speaker 24: of people that are ignoring it and talking about other things,
- 1:02:11Speaker 24: and other things are fine. But this is a big threat,
- 1:02:14Speaker 24: and it's a long-term threat. You would have thought we
- 1:02:17Speaker 24: got rid of all the Marxists, you know, 50 years
- 1:02:20Speaker 24: ago when we found out, oh, what they were doing
- 1:02:23Speaker 24: and what they were up to. We would have thought
- 1:02:25Speaker 24: after 9-11 and even before that we would have known
- 1:02:30Speaker 24: what the Islamists were up to. They want to destroy
- 1:02:33Speaker 24: America and take it over. Well, they're going to do
- 1:02:36Speaker 24: it fast on September 11th or they're going to do
- 1:02:40Speaker 24: it slowly through the ballot box. We have to stop
- 1:02:44Speaker 24: them and we have to get a plan. This is
- 1:02:49Speaker 24: really serious. And it's, you know, obviously everybody has to live.
- 1:02:54Speaker 24: Everybody has to have money and all of that. And
- 1:02:56Speaker 24: that's great. And pay attention to that. This threat over
- 1:02:59Speaker 24: here is something else. And I don't know what we're
- 1:03:04Speaker 24: going to do about it.
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: All right. So a lot of people are concerned about it,
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: particularly when you see basically you used to come to
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: the country and assimilate. And a lot of people feel
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: that the group you're talking about is coming here thinking
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: you need to change and assimilate to their views and
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: Sharia law. And you've got large sections of the country
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: which seem to be going in that direction. And I
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: can't explain it to you. You'd have to talk to
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: all these people who just believe that we should have
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: borders and let this all happen. I don't agree with it.
- 1:03:45Speaker 24: And figure out how to not let them take over.
- 1:03:48Speaker 24: Look at New York City. Hey, we got this guy. Okay,
- 1:03:54Speaker 24: you got him now. The cat up in Michigan running
- 1:03:58Speaker 24: for Senate with all his backers. Holy crap. Can you
- 1:04:03Speaker 24: imagine if Donald Trump, whoever, Ted Cruz, had a backer
- 1:04:09Speaker 24: like Hassan Piker and the stuff that he says?
- 1:04:11Speaker 6: No.
- 1:04:12Speaker 24: America deserved 9-11. Okay, you're going to get this. It's okay.
- 1:04:18Speaker 24: We're going to take you over. Really? You're saying that
- 1:04:22Speaker 24: out loud? To a free country?
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: Yeah, can you believe that? I mean, can you believe
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: some of the stuff that comes out of the mouth
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: of some of these Democrat socialists that are running and
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: say that kind of stuff? It is shocking to me.
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: And yet, someone's voting for him. Thanks for your call.
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: Back in a minute. Ron Verb from the Kingdom of

- 1:05:14Speaker 2: Well, let's see. 423, almost 424 here in the afternoon.
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: Ron Ferb, you're on the air.
- 1:05:20Speaker 8: Ronnie.
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: It's the unknown caller.
- 1:05:23Speaker 26: No, this is Phil the pharmacist.
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
- 1:05:26Speaker 6: Let's talk about Tylenol.
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:05:30Speaker 26: Hey, you got to love Jake's call, right?
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: It's always unique.
- 1:05:36Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 1:05:37Speaker 27: Yeah, I like the fact that, you know, after years
- 1:05:39Speaker 27: and years of you people, of you calling older folks
- 1:05:44Speaker 27: like old bags and stuff, now he's calling you old as,
- 1:05:48Speaker 27: you know, That's kind of funny.
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, it's a riot, isn't it?
- 1:05:53Speaker 26: Hey, so, Emmanuel, okay? First of all, do you pay
- 1:06:00Speaker 26: him to, you know, bring up names of callers to
- 1:06:03Speaker 26: increase the volume of calls that you get on your show?
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. That's my strategery, yeah.
- 1:06:12Speaker 11: I figured.
- 1:06:13Speaker 26: Hey, I hope he's listening because he made my wife's day.
- 1:06:20Speaker 26: She laughed her, you know, what off because he put
- 1:06:27Speaker 26: me on the intelligent list. So, and then right after that,
- 1:06:33Speaker 26: right after she got done laughing, she goes, that just
- 1:06:35Speaker 26: proves right there he doesn't know what he's talking about.
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: You know what? I think that's an excellent point your
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: wife made. I think it's a very good point.
- 1:06:46Speaker 26: But, I mean, come on, Emmanuel, you know, You know,
- 1:06:52Speaker 26: what is a Democrat today? They're Democrat socialists. You know,
- 1:06:56Speaker 26: I think that cops are a good thing to have around.
- 1:07:00Speaker 26: I think that, you know, a border is a good
- 1:07:02Speaker 26: thing to have, or you don't have a country. If
- 1:07:05Speaker 26: he doesn't think that borders are good, then, you know,
- 1:07:08Speaker 26: I'll come take the locks off of his doors for free.
- 1:07:11Speaker 26: I don't want men in my granddaughter's locker room. You know,
- 1:07:18Speaker 26: why are people fleeing California? Because of the stupid Democrat
- 1:07:24Speaker 26: policies that are just, it just drives me stupid. And Trump, what,
- 1:07:32Speaker 26: you don't think that NATO should pay their fair share?
- 1:07:35Speaker 11: I mean, come on.
- 1:07:37Speaker 26: How about, I just heard on the radio that J.D.
- 1:07:42Speaker 26: Vance are saying, hey, maybe we should have truck drivers
- 1:07:46Speaker 26: that speak English and can read signs.
- 1:07:51Speaker 6: What do you think about all this, Ronnie?
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: Well, you may think how controversial that is. Truck drivers
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: that can actually speak English and read the signs on
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: our highways. What about all these states that seem to
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: be the liberal states where these truck drivers are getting
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: these CDLs without the ability to do any of that?
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: I mean, and Trump is changing that and it should
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: be changed. How can you get behind a wheel of something? Well,
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: we've seen the accidents and not know how to read
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: the signs or speak English. That is to me, that's
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: just frightening that that's even even happening. And Democrats support it.
- 1:08:35Speaker 26: I think it was on your report.
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: And I don't know– go one step further. For the
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: life of me, I don't know why any of these
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: companies hire those folks to drive. Think of the liability
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: you're presenting to yourself. Oh, it's just hard to get
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: American truck drivers or hard to get people to do
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: this kind of stuff.
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: Really?
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: Well, you want to take that kind of liability with
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: your equipment and your truck to say, okay, this person
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: who can't read a sign that says bridge closed or
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: whatever the case is or can't speak English is the answer?
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 1:09:06Speaker 11: Right.
- 1:09:06Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 1:09:07Speaker 26: Vance, he might have been speaking in Michigan, maybe. And
- 1:09:12Speaker 26: I think on the report it said they're shutting down
- 1:09:15Speaker 26: 200 drivers, classes or something because they don't, you know,
- 1:09:22Speaker 26: meet the criteria to put, you know, honest, qualified truck
- 1:09:28Speaker 26: drivers on the road.
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:09:29Speaker 24: 200.
- 1:09:30Speaker 9: 200.
- 1:09:31Speaker 26: So how many are out there? Every time I go,
- 1:09:33Speaker 26: you know, I always try to give the trucks the
- 1:09:35Speaker 26: leeway on the highway.
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: I do, too. I 100% am in agreement with you.
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: I mean, a truck driver's got a lot of pressure
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: and responsibility on that truck. And cut them a break
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: and let them cut over and that kind of stuff.
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: But get off their ass. I mean, how do you
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: think we get everything? And how does things get from
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: point A to point B and whatnot? I'm with you 100%.
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: I mean, stay out of their blind spots. And when
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: they're getting over, give them the latitude to get over
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: and give them some space and treat them with some respect.
- 1:10:10Speaker 9: Absolutely.
- 1:10:11Speaker 26: Hey, you were talking about Social Security earlier, too. And,
- 1:10:17Speaker 26: you know, the whole Medicare thing and all that.
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:10:20Speaker 26: And then you go to Obamacare, which... It's amazing. They
- 1:10:25Speaker 26: don't call it Obamacare anymore because it ain't working. Now
- 1:10:28Speaker 26: it's back to the original Affordable Care Act.
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: Well, and it's not that at all. It's not the
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: Affordable Care Act because it's not affordable.
- 1:10:36Speaker 8: Right, right.
- 1:10:37Speaker 26: How convenient is that that they change the name? You know,
- 1:10:40Speaker 26: nobody talks about it. Remember, it was like, ooh, Obamacare, Obamacare, Obamacare.
- 1:10:44Speaker 26: But nobody talks about it anymore.
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: Well, it'll always be Obamacare to me.
- 1:10:50Speaker 4: All right. Hey, Ronnie.
- 1:10:53Speaker 9: What?
- 1:10:54Speaker 28: I got to go.
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: I know. Why does he always have to go? And
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: where is he going? He always says that to me
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: at the end. Hey, I got to go. But where
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: do you have to go? What's so important that you
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: have to go? Oh, by the way, I got to go, too,
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: because the headlines are here. And then I'll be back
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: with more. Ron Furb from the Kingdom of Mahoning, NewsRadio

- 1:11:22Speaker 7: Months after the sudden resignation of former Ohio State University
- 1:11:25Speaker 7: President Ted Carter, he's now breaking his silence, denying allegations
- 1:11:29Speaker 7: that he improperly used his position to benefit a woman
- 1:11:32Speaker 7: he was romantically involved with. Carter's being sued by the
- 1:11:35Speaker 7: founder of Vet Mentor AI, who accuses Carter, the woman,
- 1:11:39Speaker 7: her company, and Jobs Ohio of defamation and interfering with
- 1:11:43Speaker 7: his business. A court of claims conference is scheduled for
- 1:11:46Speaker 7: September 14th. More than a million dollars in grant money
- 1:11:49Speaker 7: is going to communities throughout the state to help the
- 1:11:51Speaker 7: issue of illegal dumping sites. The second round of funding
- 1:11:55Speaker 7: through the state's Shine a Light on Dumpers initiative. Awards
- 1:11:58Speaker 7: meant to help cover the cost of cleaning up illegal
- 1:12:00Speaker 7: dump sites and preventing future unlawful dumping. The three major C's, Cleveland, Columbus,

- 1:12:41Speaker 16: I'm not paranoid and concerned that the Muslims are going
- 1:12:46Speaker 16: to take over the country. Israel and the Zionists control Washington,
- 1:12:53Speaker 16: and there are endless wars on behalf of Israel. That is,
- 1:12:57Speaker 16: bankrupting the country is what we should be concerned about.
- 1:13:02Speaker 16: And the U.S. military is now a vassal of the IDF,
- 1:13:06Speaker 16: not Hamas. And according to the government, Ron, Inflation is
- 1:13:11Speaker 16: now between 68%, but one economist says it is higher
- 1:13:17Speaker 16: for daily necessities, such as food and gas. And she
- 1:13:22Speaker 16: says the higher prices are here to stay. And if
- 1:13:25Speaker 16: inflation continues to accelerate, this will wipe out the savings
- 1:13:30Speaker 16: for most Americans. Now, I believe the national average for
- 1:13:34Speaker 16: gas was $ 1.
- 1:13:36Speaker 14: 87 a.
- 1:13:38Speaker 16: Gallon less than six years ago. If you're paying $ 4. 35
- 1:13:42Speaker 16: in Ohio, that's a lot more than $ 0. 75 more. I
- 1:13:43Speaker 16: see it all over the place. Just as a side note,
- 1:13:47Speaker 16: sometimes I see it around $ 3.
- 1:13:48Speaker 5: 75, $ 3.
- 1:13:48Speaker 10: 80, $ 3.
- 1:13:48Speaker 21: 99.
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: A lot of times it's $ 4 or less now. It
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: fluctuates constantly. But it's higher than it was last time
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: it was down. Trump had it down to $ 2. 50 a
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: gallon before the war, at least here in Ohio. When
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: I'm talking about fuel prices, I'm not talking California. It
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: depends where you are located. But it was about $ 2. 50
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: a gallon here in Ohio, and now it's about $ 4
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: a gallon. So you do the math. $ 1. 50 more a gallon.
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: Adds up fast.
- 1:14:27Speaker 16: Well, that's still a lot more than $ 0. 75 more for
- 1:14:31Speaker 16: gas that.
- 1:14:33Speaker 16: Rich, the promise says he doesn't mind paying, and he
- 1:14:36Speaker 16: says that adjusted for inflation, that these prices aren't that bad. One,
- 1:14:42Speaker 16: the mobile gas station down the street from me is $ 4.
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: 75.
- 1:14:45Speaker 16: Well, what are you buying?
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: I mean, what are you buying, jet fuel? I mean,
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: I got a daughter in Florida, and their gas prices
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: are the same, if not less than mine. I mean,
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: for regular unleaded.
- 1:15:00Speaker 16: Yeah, but when the snowbirds come down, Late October, November,
- 1:15:05Speaker 16: gas prices always go up. They're cheating now at $ 4. 75.
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: Like, for example, somebody sent me $ 3. 63 in Columbiana. So
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: I'm not saying we don't have an oil issue or a—
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: I was just reading when you were talking it here.
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: President Trump will meet Tuesday with U.S. refiners and fuel
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: distributors as his administration looks for ways to expand domestic
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: refining capacity and bring down gasoline prices. The meeting will
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: include Interior Secretary Doug Bergen, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, National
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: Energy Dominance Council Executive Director Agin, and representatives from small, medium,
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: and large refineries and distributors, the officials say. President Trump
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: is laser focused on ensuring his successful energy dominance agenda
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: translates into most cost savings as possible at the pump
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: for consumers. Rogers said Trump will discuss ways to increase
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: refining capacity. I'll be curious about that because I thought
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: we were at pretty much capacity. Expand energy production across
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: the supply chain and lower prices for consumers. I thought
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: we were at folks' capacity with our refining ability. The
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: problem is we don't have enough refineries. The push comes
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: as affordability, particularly gas prices, looms large over the midterms.
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: Nearly half of America say the cost of living is
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: their top voting issue, while 70% disapprove of Trump's handling
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: of it, according to a Rutgers poll from August. The
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: White House official said the administration is focused on concrete
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: refining near-term steps to adding refining capacity, including as more
- 1:16:48Speaker 2: Venezuela crude flows to U.S. refiners. Globally refining capacity, let
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: me see this, globally refinery capacity shortages have helped keep
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: fuel prices elevated, even as crude prices have eased. Valero
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: estimated earlier this month that the wars in Iran and
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: Ukraine have knocked about 5 million barrels per day, Exxon
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: CEO told CNBC's Squawk Box at the end of July
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: that refinery constraints had created a disconnect between crude and
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: pump prices, meaning more oil supply may not immediately translate
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: into cheaper gasoline. Trump on Friday announced a deal with Venezuela,
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: giving the U.S. majority control of more than 65 billion
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: barrels of oil reserves, part of a broader push to
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: boost supply and lower gas prices. So basically what they're saying, Frank, is, OK,
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: you can have all this oil, which is great. We
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: don't have the refining capacity to bring prices down, and
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: Trump is going to have a meeting and say, well,
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: what the hell's going on? And we need more refineries,
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: but no one's building them, and they take years to build, right?
- 1:17:59Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 1:18:00Speaker 16: Well, let me explain to your audience why Rich is
- 1:18:04Speaker 16: so wrong that after this war is over, everything will
- 1:18:08Speaker 16: be back to normal. If you hold $ 50, 000 in a
- 1:18:10Speaker 16: savings account, earning one-half of 1% per year, while inflation
- 1:18:18Speaker 16: is running between 6% to 8%, you lose.
- 1:18:24Speaker 6: $ 3, 250.
- 1:18:24Speaker 16: In purchasing power every year. Over five years, your safe
- 1:18:29Speaker 16: investment has lost almost one-third of its purchasing power. And
- 1:18:36Speaker 16: Rich blames the American people for buying bigger houses and
- 1:18:40Speaker 16: cars that they can afford, But Ron, banks use metrics
- 1:18:46Speaker 16: such as debt-to-income ratios to determine how much a prospective
- 1:18:51Speaker 16: homebuyer can afford in monthly payments. No bank wants a
- 1:18:56Speaker 16: buyer to default on their mortgage. while they get stuck
- 1:19:00Speaker 16: paying property taxes.
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but tap the brakes. I have seen where
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: banks have changed the ratio on the debt-to-income ratio when
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: it comes to home buying. It used to be 70-30.
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: I think it's 50-50 now. They've changed that number, and
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: then not in the best interest of the consumer.
- 1:19:19Speaker 16: No, I mean, do you want a 50-year mortgage where
- 1:19:24Speaker 16: You might be 92 years old, but you're even dead.
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: I don't want a 30-year mortgage, and I made sure
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: I didn't have a 30-year one, and I don't want
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: a six-year car loan. That's ridiculous.
- 1:19:36Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:19:37Speaker 16: And, you know, if some Americans do overspend beyond their means,
- 1:19:41Speaker 16: like Rich says, then they destroy their credit and have
- 1:19:46Speaker 16: to pay cash and are forced to live within their means. Now,
- 1:19:50Speaker 16: that's why when I was a financial planner, When inflation accelerated,
- 1:19:56Speaker 16: I told wealthy clients to buy farmland, fertilizer stocks, you know,
- 1:20:02Speaker 16: precious metals, even high-end art and expensive wines, for example.
- 1:20:08Speaker 16: Any asset that retains its value during high inflation. But
- 1:20:13Speaker 16: conventional financial planning says when you retire, put most of
- 1:20:17Speaker 16: your money in a mix of safe corporate bond funds
- 1:20:21Speaker 16: and individual bonds. government bonds or government bond funds. Now,
- 1:20:26Speaker 16: in today's high inflation environment, Ron, that's a recipe for disaster.
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: Yeah, bonds aren't doing so good lately either. It used
- 1:20:35Speaker 2: to be the old philosophy, though, the older you got,
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: the more you got out of equities because of the
- 1:20:40Speaker 2: risk involved in the market. And the more you went
- 1:20:43Speaker 2: to bonds, bonds were viewed kind of as a safer
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: type investment than equities. But I don't know that you
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: can say that anymore today. I don't know what the
- 1:20:52Speaker 2: best option is for when you have this type of inflation.
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: A lot of people are nervous to be in a
- 1:21:00Speaker 2: stock market because the market can go down and stay down,
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: which can greatly affect your retirement. But on the other hand,
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: if you're not in equities, you don't keep pace with inflation.
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: And yet bonds are got some issues as well.
- 1:21:14Speaker 20: So.
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: It's difficult times. The inflation and the debt of the
- 1:21:20Speaker 2: country has changed everything, including the ease you should have
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: in retirement.
- 1:21:27Speaker 16: Well, almost my entire adult life, I've been advising people
- 1:21:34Speaker 16: that even when you retire, you should keep 10%, 15%, 20%
- 1:21:39Speaker 16: of your portfolio in stocks. Because even with low inflation,
- 1:21:48Speaker 16: the longer you live, the less purchasing power you're going
- 1:21:51Speaker 16: to have, and it's going to be tough to make
- 1:21:54Speaker 16: ends meet.
- 1:21:54Speaker 2: Well, I don't think things are going to– listen, people
- 1:21:57Speaker 2: aren't going to stop living. I mean, it depends. I mean,
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: we're always considered what dividend stocks and, if you will,
- 1:22:05Speaker 2: safer stocks that they would talk about, utilities, necessities, if
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: you will. Right. They were always considered the safer stocks
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: because even in a down economy, you still are going
- 1:22:18Speaker 2: to use electricity and utilities and you're still going to
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: buy shampoo and stuff.
- 1:22:23Speaker 16: Well, people used to ask me, they'd say, Frank, I've
- 1:22:27Speaker 16: always thought that when I retire, I'm supposed to put
- 1:22:31Speaker 16: everything into safe investments like government bonds. And I said, yeah,
- 1:22:36Speaker 16: but the problem is you don't know how long you're
- 1:22:39Speaker 16: going to live. you still need a growth component to
- 1:22:44Speaker 16: your portfolio.
- 1:22:45Speaker 6: Right.
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: Particularly with how inflation is now. I mean, particularly with...
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: I've said it many times, I'd say it to you.
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: In general, everyone's become poorer. I don't care if you're
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: retired or you're working, but your savings... I can't think
- 1:23:04Speaker 2: of too many scenarios where the average person has not
- 1:23:07Speaker 2: become poorer with the high rate of inflation. I don't
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: know anybody's income that's kept pace with it, or any
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: employer that's given raises anywhere close to what real inflation
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: is at all.
- 1:23:18Speaker 8: At all.
- 1:23:18Speaker 16: Well, you know, as far as prices going back to
- 1:23:24Speaker 16: normal after this war is over, let me give you
- 1:23:28Speaker 16: an example for container shipping. Now, container shipping operates through
- 1:23:35Speaker 16: an oligopoly of nine carriers that They control 85% of
- 1:23:40Speaker 16: global capacity. And these companies discovered that during the pandemic,
- 1:23:47Speaker 16: that reducing sailings maintains pricing power more effectively than competing
- 1:23:53Speaker 16: for volume. A standard container that cost $ 3, 500 to ship
- 1:23:58Speaker 16: from Shanghai to Los Angeles in 2019 is now cost $ 11, 000,
- 1:24:07Speaker 16: and those costs are passed directly to consumers as permanent
- 1:24:13Speaker 16: price increases. What I'm seeing everywhere, we're not going to
- 1:24:18Speaker 16: see prices go down back to normal after this war ends.
- 1:24:24Speaker 16: We're at permanently high prices, and they're going to stay there.
- 1:24:29Speaker 2: I don't know. I think you can see energy prices
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: go down. I mean, I do think you can see
- 1:24:34Speaker 2: gasoline go down. We are an oil-based economy. And if
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: you get the cost of diesel down, you get the
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: cost of jet fuel down. you get the cost of
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: fuel for these ships down, then that should ease some
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: of the cost for all of that stuff. I mean,
- 1:24:49Speaker 2: I don't necessarily agree with that. You take a look.
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: You live in Florida, the Florida housing market. The prices
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: have declined in Florida off their peaks to where you've
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: got some markets that are substantially reduced prices. as far
- 1:25:04Speaker 2: as home prices in Florida and other parts of the
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: country as well. So you do see prices fluctuate. I mean,
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: eggs are down in cost. So prices do go down.
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: There is still a marketplace. There still is competition. And
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: if you put something on a market, nobody can afford
- 1:25:22Speaker 2: to buy it. Well, you have a tendency to lower
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: the price till somebody does because you want to sell
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: your house or your parents died and you want to
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: sell it, whatever the case might be. I mean, You know,
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: that's how the economy works.
- 1:25:36Speaker 16: Well, let me give you another example. A modern vehicle
- 1:25:40Speaker 16: contains between 1,500 to 3,000 semiconductors controlling everything from power
- 1:25:47Speaker 16: windows to anti-lock brakes to engine management. Now, when chip
- 1:25:53Speaker 16: shortages idled automotive plants in 2021 and 22, the used
- 1:25:57Speaker 16: car market exploded. into a speculative bubble where vehicles appreciated.
- 1:26:06Speaker 8: Right.
- 1:26:06Speaker 16: Normally, used cars depreciate in price, right?
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: Some people actually got more for their vehicle than they
- 1:26:13Speaker 2: paid for it because of the used car market. But
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: that was then, and this is now used.
- 1:26:18Speaker 16: And remember how rental car companies, which had sold off
- 1:26:23Speaker 16: fleets during the pandemic to generate cash, found that they
- 1:26:27Speaker 16: could not replace them, leading to $ 400 daily expenses rental
- 1:26:32Speaker 16: rates and travelers stranded at airports, we're not going to
- 1:26:38Speaker 16: see rental prices for cars coming down anytime.
- 1:26:41Speaker 3: Soon, if ever.
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: We'll see. All right, Frank, thanks. I mean, I have
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: faith in the marketplace. I mean, I do think prices
- 1:26:48Speaker 2: can come down. And they do. And I've been through
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: inflation before, and prices can come down because if you
- 1:26:58Speaker 2: Things hold their value. I mean, it's trucks are holding
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: their value. But philosophies have changed. I mean, he actually
- 1:27:08Speaker 2: makes a legitimate point because the whole car model has
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: changed tremendously for how many vehicles are being produced and
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: how many are on a dealer's lot and the rebates.
- 1:27:21Speaker 2: the good old days, which were what? 2017, 2018, 2019.
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: A lot of that's gone. They're not, they're, they're doing
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: things differently as far as general motors and the car
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: companies are doing. Remember when they would, I mean, there'd
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: be a ton of vehicles on the, on the lot.
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: And then, you know, they would employee pricing everybody and
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: there'd be rebates and everything. And you could really get
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: a good deal on a vehicle. It doesn't seem like that's,
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: that's there too much anymore. And I do remember when
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: they sold off, uh, like, um, the leasing company sold
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: off all their vehicles. And then when it came time
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: to get back in the game, they were buying used cars,
- 1:27:59Speaker 2: and that helped escalate the price of used vehicles because
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: that's all they could get. Because they couldn't make, it
- 1:28:06Speaker 2: was just a shortage of new cars. And then, of course,
- 1:28:08Speaker 2: you had General Motors do away with the cruise, which
- 1:28:12Speaker 2: supplied a lot of cars to the rental companies. Markets
- 1:28:16Speaker 2: go up, they can come down. We see it with housing.
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: I Heart Radio You're 170 WKBN.
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: Ron Verb with you till six o'clock tonight. Then the
- 1:28:26Speaker 2: Rockport's Wealth Truth and Investing Program, six to seven. Joe Kovach,
- 1:28:31Speaker 2: Adam Stollinger. We'll take a look at what's happened in
- 1:28:34Speaker 2: the past in the markets and what's ahead. So you're
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: on the air.
- 1:28:38Speaker 4: Mr.
- 1:28:40Speaker 12: Verge, blaming the Democrats is getting old. In fact, it's boring,
- 1:28:45Speaker 12: very boring. I can't take it anymore.
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: Well, I'm just dealing with.
- 1:28:52Speaker 26: It.
- 1:28:53Speaker 2: Then to quote Jack Nicholson, you can't handle the truth.
- 1:28:56Speaker 11: No.
- 1:28:57Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:28:58Speaker 12: But you've got to remember what Tom Cruise just said
- 1:29:01Speaker 12: just before that. What did he say?
- 1:29:04Speaker 2: What did he say?
- 1:29:05Speaker 12: Well, you know what he said.
- 1:29:07Speaker 2: I don't know what he said.
- 1:29:08Speaker 12: Emphatically, what did Tom Cruise say.
- 1:29:10Speaker 4: Just before he said that?
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: I'm telling you, you need people like me on that wall.
- 1:29:17Speaker 12: There's so many things that I want to talk about.
- 1:29:20Speaker 12: I was out working in the yard.
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: You can't handle the truth.
- 1:29:23Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:29:24Speaker 12: I can't do this anymore. I just can't do it
- 1:29:27Speaker 12: because it is getting so ridiculous.
- 1:29:32Speaker 3: Now, why is it ridiculous?
- 1:29:34Speaker 12: Please listen to that guy that's calling you from Florida.
- 1:29:37Speaker 12: The man knows what he's talking about. Those containers that
- 1:29:41Speaker 12: came over here in 2019 at $ 3, 500, now they're $ 1, 100,
- 1:29:43Speaker 12: I mean $ 11, 000.
- 1:29:44Speaker 26: Come on.
- 1:29:44Speaker 12: These prices are not going to come down. Ever.
- 1:29:55Speaker 2: So you don't think... So if I said to you.
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: If we have a discussion, and I want you to
- 1:30:02Speaker 2: stick around because you and I will have a discussion.
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: So if they don't come down, when I'm looking at
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: the housing market, and I take one of the hottest
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: housing markets around Florida, prices are coming down in Florida
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: and in other parts of the country.
- 1:30:14Speaker 12: Let's not talk Florida. I want to talk Ohio.
- 1:30:18Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk Ohio. Housing prices are coming down in
- 1:30:23Speaker 2: many markets.
- 1:30:24Speaker 12: That is a complete lie. I can't believe you're saying that.
- 1:30:29Speaker 2: I am saying that.
- 1:30:30Speaker 12: I can't believe it. I can't believe it.
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: Well, believe it. For example, when people.
- 1:30:34Speaker 12: I can't believe it.
- 1:30:35Speaker 3: I think.
- 1:30:36Speaker 2: Okay, you don't need to believe it. But instead of
- 1:30:38Speaker 2: it being a buyer's market, it's a seller's market right now.
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: In other words, the days of a lot.
- 1:30:45Speaker 4: Of people saying that.
- 1:30:47Speaker 2: Well, you know the difference. So it's more of a
- 1:30:49Speaker 2: seller's market. So people aren't– remember, people are paying over
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: asking price and all this kind of stuff. I'm sure
- 1:30:55Speaker 2: you'll find examples of that, but it's less examples of
- 1:30:59Speaker 2: that where people are buying and asking or below asking
- 1:31:02Speaker 2: and selling their house. You know as well as I do,
- 1:31:05Speaker 2: prices come down.
- 1:31:06Speaker 28: They're not going to come down.
- 1:31:08Speaker 12: The only way that they're going to come down is
- 1:31:11Speaker 12: if we have another 1929.
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. Stand by. Stand by. Stand by. I'm going
- 1:31:18Speaker 2: to come back to him. Try to see if he
- 1:31:21Speaker 2: can handle the truth when I return.

- 1:32:12Speaker 19: Day three is done on Lisa Brady. Fox News, the
- 1:32:15Speaker 19: jury deliberating the murder case against Lindsay Clancy in Massachusetts
- 1:32:19Speaker 19: wraps up another day of deliberations due back tomorrow morning
- 1:32:22Speaker 19: for day four. Clancy is charged with killing her young
- 1:32:24Speaker 19: children before trying to kill herself.
- 1:32:26Speaker 29: The heart of all of this in this trial is
- 1:32:29Speaker 29: really the state of mind of Lindsay Clancy on January 24, 2023.
- 1:32:33Speaker 19: Fox's Brian Yennis at the courthouse in Plymouth where prosecutors
- 1:32:36Speaker 19: are trying to prove Clancy knew her actions were wrong
- 1:32:39Speaker 19: and could control them.
- 1:32:40Speaker 29: Remember on that day she drove her daughter Cora to
- 1:32:43Speaker 29: the doctor. She built a snowman and did art projects
- 1:32:46Speaker 29: with her kids. But at about 5 p.m. she sent
- 1:32:48Speaker 29: her husband on errands and in that hour she strangled
- 1:32:51Speaker 29: her three children. The defense says a voice hallucination told
- 1:32:55Speaker 29: her to do it. The prosecution says it was premeditated murder.
- 1:32:58Speaker 19: The jury can also consider lesser counts of second-degree murder
- 1:33:01Speaker 19: and manslaughter. A teenage girl in North Carolina is now
- 1:33:05Speaker 19: charged with murder in connection with a mosque attack in
- 1:33:07Speaker 19: San Diego, where three people were killed in May before
- 1:33:10Speaker 19: the two shooters, ages 17.
- 1:33:12Speaker 4: And 18, killed themselves.
- 1:33:14Speaker 19: Prosecutors say the girl is accused of live streaming the
- 1:33:17Speaker 19: attack and publishing the killer's manifesto, including white supremacist writings.
- 1:33:21Speaker 19: A grand jury indicting her on multiple counts, including murder
- 1:33:25Speaker 19: by aiding and abetting. President Trump calls Iran a failed nation,
- 1:33:29Speaker 19: but still suggests a response to Iran's latest targeting of
- 1:33:32Speaker 19: US forces in the region.
- 1:33:34Speaker 18: Their navy is gone, their air force is gone, their
- 1:33:38Speaker 18: surveillance equipment is almost entirely gone. That doesn't mean we
- 1:33:42Speaker 18: won't smack them. We'll see what happens.
- 1:33:45Speaker 19: Iran fired missiles at U.S. military sites in Jordan after
- 1:33:49Speaker 19: the U.S. targeted rocket launchers to prevent new sea mines
- 1:33:52Speaker 19: in the Strait of Hormuz.
- 1:33:53Speaker 5: The U.S.
- 1:33:54Speaker 19: Supreme Court just allowing the White House ballroom project to
- 1:33:56Speaker 19: continue while lawsuits play out in lower courts. The 5-4
- 1:34:00Speaker 19: decision is not a ruling on the project's legality. America

- 1:35:15Speaker 2: Yeah, from NewsRadio 570 WKBN 505. All right, I'm going
- 1:35:22Speaker 2: back to Fifth Avenue. Now listen to me, and then
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: I'll listen to you.
- 1:35:27Speaker 12: All right, but don't talk to me for 10 minutes, and.
- 1:35:29Speaker 11: Then let me talk for 30 seconds.
- 1:35:31Speaker 2: Okay, but it's difficult not to.
- 1:35:35Speaker 12: Democracy doesn't work that way.
- 1:35:37Speaker 2: Yes, it does.
- 1:35:38Speaker 12: Yeah, you're a democracy because you control the microphone.
- 1:35:43Speaker 11: Of course.
- 1:35:45Speaker 2: Well, you're on your phone and you're on the air
- 1:35:49Speaker 2: as well. I don't know what the big deal is.
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: And I appreciate that. Listen, you seem to have a...
- 1:35:57Speaker 2: What is your beef now?
- 1:35:59Speaker 12: My beef is that the political atmosphere that we have today,
- 1:36:04Speaker 12: which is caused by the Trump administration, which is office rocker,
- 1:36:09Speaker 12: which is the ship is no longer being able to
- 1:36:12Speaker 12: be righted. It's going to sink. He's taking his country
- 1:36:16Speaker 12: into bankruptcy. This is what's pushing that other part of the...
- 1:36:21Speaker 12: That's what's pushing this... Idiotic crap that's going on in
- 1:36:25Speaker 12: the Democratic Party. It's a perfect storm. There's more to
- 1:36:31Speaker 12: this than just blaming Democrats. Blaming the Democrat. It's more
- 1:36:38Speaker 12: than that. And if your colors, if your Republican people
- 1:36:42Speaker 12: would just start reading a little bit and understanding what's
- 1:36:46Speaker 12: really going on in the world. Then they can have
- 1:36:50Speaker 12: a conversation. But they seem to lack the ability to
- 1:36:54Speaker 12: want to pick up a newspaper. All they want to
- 1:36:56Speaker 12: do is listen to Fox News. I don't get it.
- 1:37:01Speaker 12: I don't understand it, Ron. I really don't.
- 1:37:05Speaker 2: Well, what is there that's bothering.
- 1:37:09Speaker 12: You about it? I'm getting off on a tangent here,
- 1:37:13Speaker 12: and I don't want to do that. But to me,
- 1:37:15Speaker 12: the atmosphere of this political... nonsense. And it's not, I don't,
- 1:37:23Speaker 12: you know what? I don't believe anything that comes out
- 1:37:26Speaker 12: of Washington, D.C. Did you hear Bennett, or what's his name, Besant,
- 1:37:30Speaker 12: or whatever his name is? What are the Canadians going
- 1:37:33Speaker 12: to do? They're going to get their two submarines together
- 1:37:36Speaker 12: and attack us? I hope Canada comes out the winner
- 1:37:41Speaker 12: big time in what Trump tried to do with his
- 1:37:44Speaker 12: tariffs to Canada. I mean, what is coming out of D.C.
- 1:37:48Speaker 24: Is the.
- 1:37:49Speaker 12: It is juvenile, third grade, this guy was not... Anyway,
- 1:37:54Speaker 12: I don't want to get into all that because I
- 1:37:56Speaker 12: could go on for... The reason that I called is
- 1:37:59Speaker 12: because we're going to bring it down to Ohio. Legislatures,
- 1:38:04Speaker 12: over a couple of decades, have engaged in tax shifting,
- 1:38:08Speaker 12: which is shifting taxes away from the state and onto
- 1:38:11Speaker 12: local homeowners, communities, and communities. They're forcing communities and local
- 1:38:17Speaker 12: homeowners to pay more than their fair share to keep police,
- 1:38:22Speaker 12: fire and safety personnel on the streets. Go ahead. Ohio
- 1:38:31Speaker 12: Public Schools, for example, the state has long neglected to
- 1:38:36Speaker 12: fund Ohio Public Schools. Over the past decade, the state
- 1:38:41Speaker 12: has shifted funding away from our local communities to benefit
- 1:38:46Speaker 12: private schools.
- 1:38:48Speaker 3: This year, it.
- 1:38:49Speaker 12: Cost us a billion dollars alone. That's money shifted from
- 1:38:55Speaker 12: the public schools to the private schools. That is not
- 1:38:59Speaker 12: a lie. That's not a Democratic made-up bullcrap. That is
- 1:39:03Speaker 12: the truth. But you Republicans have a way of trying
- 1:39:07Speaker 12: to make everything that comes out of the mouth of
- 1:39:09Speaker 12: a Democrat a lie. It's led to Ohioans having to
- 1:39:15Speaker 12: vote more on school levies than any other state over
- 1:39:19Speaker 12: the last 20 years. It's why homeowners are feeling the
- 1:39:24Speaker 12: pinch in their bills. It's especially hard on the senior citizens,
- 1:39:29Speaker 12: the middle class. They're stretched thin. In most states, businesses
- 1:39:37Speaker 12: pay more property taxes. Homeowners pay less. Now Ohio homeowners
- 1:39:43Speaker 12: and farmers are paying two-thirds of the total property taxes.
- 1:39:48Speaker 12: Despite giveaways, studies show that Ohio continues to trail the
- 1:39:53Speaker 12: nation in job creation and has one of the worst
- 1:39:57Speaker 12: economies in the United States. Now, I don't know how
- 1:40:02Speaker 12: much more plain I can be. I really don't know.
- 1:40:08Speaker 12: And all of this has occurred under the Republican administration,
- 1:40:13Speaker 12: who has had a stronghold on the state level and
- 1:40:17Speaker 12: the federal level for how many years now? But yet
- 1:40:20Speaker 12: you continue and continue and continue to blame the Democrats
- 1:40:25Speaker 12: for everything that's All of this is going wrong. But
- 1:40:29Speaker 12: people just won't pick up on this thing. You won't read.
- 1:40:31Speaker 12: You won't understand what is really going on, especially in
- 1:40:36Speaker 12: the state of Ohio. They're holding that money. They're not
- 1:40:39Speaker 12: giving it back to the states. That's why you have
- 1:40:41Speaker 12: all these levies on these schools. The homeowners are being forced.
- 1:40:45Speaker 9: Out of their homes.
- 1:40:46Speaker 12: They can't pay it anymore. Does that make any sense
- 1:40:50Speaker 12: to you at all?
- 1:40:52Speaker 2: I sat back and I listened to what you had
- 1:40:54Speaker 2: to say, and I didn't interrupt you. And does it
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: make sense to me? Absolutely not. I mean, no, it
- 1:41:03Speaker 2: doesn't make sense to me because as you sit there
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: and you talk about the Democrats, I can talk to
- 1:41:09Speaker 2: you about the Democrats on all levels. I mean, if
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: you want to start on a federal level or a
- 1:41:15Speaker 2: state level, you're championing a party that basically lets, once again,
- 1:41:20Speaker 2: from a federal level, let millions of people come into
- 1:41:22Speaker 2: your country undocumented and spend billions of dollars.
- 1:41:25Speaker 12: We have to talk about just the taxes on the homeowners.
- 1:41:29Speaker 21: OK, OK, OK.
- 1:41:32Speaker 2: Let me talk about taxes.
- 1:41:33Speaker 12: OK, I agree with you.
- 1:41:38Speaker 2: Then I'll talk taxes.
- 1:41:40Speaker 12: I talk taxes to some Democrat here that goes along.
- 1:41:44Speaker 2: It's hard for me to talk. You won't let me talk. So,
- 1:41:46Speaker 2: I mean, I'll talk to you about taxes on the homeowners.
- 1:41:50Speaker 2: If it wasn't for the Republicans, including you, you're you're.
- 1:41:55Speaker 2: Why are you saying oh? I haven't even said anything yet.
- 1:41:57Speaker 2: What am I going to say that you said oh to?
- 1:42:00Speaker 9: Go ahead.
- 1:42:00Speaker 12: I'm listening.
- 1:42:01Speaker 16: Okay.
- 1:42:02Speaker 2: All right. If it wasn't for Dave Thomas, who's a Republican,
- 1:42:06Speaker 2: and the Republicans voting in support, the reappraisals of your property,
- 1:42:10Speaker 2: which just took place, you would be paying another 20%
- 1:42:14Speaker 2: to 30% increase as you did in the previous reappraisals.
- 1:42:18Speaker 2: It is only... Because of Dave Thomas.
- 1:42:21Speaker 12: That is just absolutely not true.
- 1:42:25Speaker 2: Well, tell me why that's not true.
- 1:42:26Speaker 12: That's not true.
- 1:42:27Speaker 11: You're not listening to what I'm saying.
- 1:42:31Speaker 2: So tell me what I was going to say. Wait
- 1:42:35Speaker 2: a second here. You didn't even let me finish my thought.
- 1:42:38Speaker 2: So I want you to tell me what I was
- 1:42:40Speaker 2: going to say to you. Because you wouldn't even let
- 1:42:42Speaker 2: me finish.
- 1:42:44Speaker 12: I've been listening to you with this.
- 1:42:47Speaker 2: You would not even let me finish my thoughts.
- 1:42:49Speaker 12: It communicates well.
- 1:42:50Speaker 8: Go ahead.
- 1:42:51Speaker 2: But you wouldn't. So I'm going to say to you
- 1:42:53Speaker 2: again and I'm going to try again. Once again, you
- 1:42:56Speaker 2: do not understand that your homes were just reevaluated in
- 1:43:00Speaker 2: Mahoning County. I'll make it specifically for you. And the
- 1:43:04Speaker 2: properties go up, let's say, on average of 20%, as
- 1:43:07Speaker 2: Meacham has said. So in your previous evaluations last time,
- 1:43:11Speaker 2: your property taxes reflected that increase of 20%. But because of,
- 1:43:16Speaker 2: and solely because of Dave Thomas and the Republicans that
- 1:43:21Speaker 2: voted for it, your increase that will happen as a
- 1:43:24Speaker 2: result of your re-evaluations will not be 20%. It cannot
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: be any higher than the rate of inflation. It cannot
- 1:43:32Speaker 2: go up more than the current rate of inflation.
- 1:43:36Speaker 12: You are missing the point entirely.
- 1:43:38Speaker 2: Well, I can't even make my points.
- 1:43:40Speaker 12: The Republicans created the problem, and now they're trying to
- 1:43:45Speaker 12: put patches on it. The Republicans created this problem by
- 1:43:50Speaker 12: holding the money back and not giving it back to
- 1:43:53Speaker 12: the cities and the communities and the homeowners.
- 1:43:55Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this. So if the Democrats
- 1:43:58Speaker 2: were in charge and your house was reappraised under the
- 1:44:01Speaker 2: Democrat administration.
- 1:44:02Speaker 11: But they're not in charge.
- 1:44:03Speaker 12: They haven't been in charge. I can't answer that.
- 1:44:07Speaker 2: I can answer it, but you won't shut up enough
- 1:44:09Speaker 2: for me to even answer. So what's the point? There
- 1:44:11Speaker 2: is absolutely no point. Your mind is made up. You
- 1:44:18Speaker 2: want to say, here's the reality. Here's the facts. Here's
- 1:44:21Speaker 2: all of this nonsense that you want to spew. So
- 1:44:24Speaker 2: when I'm simply.
- 1:44:24Speaker 4: Wait, wait, wait.
- 1:44:25Speaker 11: Nonsense. Why do you say.
- 1:44:29Speaker 4: Because there's no point.
- 1:44:31Speaker 12: Why do you say that's nonsense? Why is that nonsense?
- 1:44:39Speaker 2: Can I go back to my point, or do you
- 1:44:41Speaker 2: want to now go to private schools?
- 1:44:44Speaker 12: We're talking about.
- 1:44:45Speaker 2: Okay, because the Republicans felt that you as a parent
- 1:44:49Speaker 2: should not be restricted by going to a poor public
- 1:44:53Speaker 2: school system.
- 1:44:54Speaker 12: I can't step in all over the Constitution. I want separation.
- 1:44:59Speaker 4: Of church and state.
- 1:45:00Speaker 2: You want to.
- 1:45:01Speaker 12: Send your child to a private school?
- 1:45:04Speaker 2: There's no point in going further, because I can't even
- 1:45:08Speaker 2: utter a word without you. You won't listen, you interrupt me. No,
- 1:45:13Speaker 2: there is no point here. There's absolutely no point, because
- 1:45:16Speaker 2: you won't be quiet for me to respond to any
- 1:45:20Speaker 2: of this. I'm not talking about separate.
- 1:45:25Speaker 12: We never put money into private schools when I was younger, ever, ever.
- 1:45:30Speaker 12: It was always, if you wanted to pay, out of
- 1:45:33Speaker 12: your own pocket, if you wanted to go to a
- 1:45:35Speaker 12: private school.
- 1:45:36Speaker 2: All right. Thanks for calling. There's no point in even
- 1:45:41Speaker 2: trying to carry on a conversation because it's impossible.
- 1:45:43Speaker 11: You're on the air.
- 1:45:45Speaker 10: I'm doing okay, Doc. I was wondering if you could...
- 1:45:48Speaker 10: My wife tells me all the time that she can't
- 1:45:51Speaker 10: put up with my drooling anymore. And I was wondering,
- 1:45:53Speaker 10: you know, if this is going to be my last
- 1:45:56Speaker 10: session because every time the doorbell rings or my wife
- 1:45:59Speaker 10: turns on the fan in the bathroom, I tune in
- 1:46:03Speaker 10: to 570 WKBN and I can't. It happens in the
- 1:46:05Speaker 10: middle of the night, too.
- 1:46:06Speaker 11: So I don't. Hello?
- 1:46:09Speaker 2: Go ahead. This is the doctor. Oh, my God. This
- 1:46:12Speaker 2: is the doctor listening. It's the doctor. Go ahead.
- 1:46:17Speaker 10: See, Doc, it happens all the time now. I must
- 1:46:22Speaker 10: be hearing things now. But can you make sure you
- 1:46:24Speaker 10: put the wood in my mouth this time? Because last
- 1:46:26Speaker 10: time you guys didn't do it in my ears.
- 1:46:28Speaker 2: We're going to put the wood in your mouth and
- 1:46:30Speaker 2: give you the electric shock therapy, and everything will be fine.
- 1:46:35Speaker 2: Just relax. JJ the Liberal, better known now as JJ
- 1:46:40Speaker 2: the Trumpster, after his electric shock therapy. You're on the air.
- 1:46:44Speaker 11: We're on.
- 1:46:44Speaker 6: Yes.
- 1:46:46Speaker 11: Oh, Madonna me.
- 1:46:47Speaker 20: I just listened to that last call before JJ. Didn't
- 1:46:52Speaker 20: we need JJ to go do something for us? No,
- 1:46:55Speaker 20: I just remembered JJ. What were we going to have
- 1:46:57Speaker 20: him do?
- 1:46:59Speaker 11: I know. We were going to have him go over
- 1:47:02Speaker 11: there to that park.
- 1:47:06Speaker 20: Oh, my God.
- 1:47:07Speaker 2: Where were we going to send him?
- 1:47:08Speaker 11: We're going to send him over to the trailer park
- 1:47:11Speaker 11: and give us a report.
- 1:47:12Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 1:47:13Speaker 18: No.
- 1:47:14Speaker 2: I get JJ. I'd probably assign him tomorrow to give
- 1:47:17Speaker 2: us an update on the sheet station coming to Cornersburg.
- 1:47:20Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 1:47:21Speaker 11: We need that. We haven't had that update.
- 1:47:23Speaker 2: You know, he has to go stroll over there, let
- 1:47:25Speaker 2: me know if anything's happening or if the construction site is...
- 1:47:29Speaker 2: It's on a pause. I'm trying to get the latest.
- 1:47:32Speaker 11: We didn't get any good updates today from him.
- 1:47:34Speaker 4: We need to call back tomorrow.
- 1:47:36Speaker 2: I saw the Cornersburg community had a cleanup day. I
- 1:47:40Speaker 2: want to get to JJ. I've got to get JJ
- 1:47:43Speaker 2: the roving. Keep in mind, he called me from the
- 1:47:45Speaker 2: doctor's office. He was getting his electronic shock therapy. And
- 1:47:50Speaker 2: he was on hold a while, so obviously they had
- 1:47:53Speaker 2: to put the wood in his mouth to administer it.
- 1:47:55Speaker 2: But I'm going to ask him about the big Cornersburg
- 1:47:59Speaker 2: cleanup that they did, I think, over the weekend and
- 1:48:01Speaker 2: if he participated.
- 1:48:04Speaker 30: Oh, my goodness.
- 1:48:05Speaker 20: I was in Cornersburg this weekend over there getting some sausage. Yeah,
- 1:48:09Speaker 20: I was over there getting sausage.
- 1:48:11Speaker 2: Where did you go?
- 1:48:13Speaker 11: Cornersburg Chinese Specialty, whatever they call that now. What do
- 1:48:17Speaker 11: they call that now?
- 1:48:19Speaker 5: One.
- 1:48:21Speaker 2: By the post office over there?
- 1:48:24Speaker 20: Yeah, over.
- 1:48:27Speaker 17: By.
- 1:48:28Speaker 2: Somebody told me that... I can't even think of the
- 1:48:30Speaker 2: guy's name down there. It used to be... Do you
- 1:48:34Speaker 2: know where the.
- 1:48:34Speaker 11: You've never been to Cornersburg Italian Specialty store?
- 1:48:37Speaker 5: No.
- 1:48:38Speaker 12: No.
- 1:48:39Speaker 2: No.
- 1:48:40Speaker 11: Oh, my God. The one over by the.
- 1:48:42Speaker 20: Supermarket that's going to, it was having the, what's the
- 1:48:45Speaker 20: house name of the supermarket?
- 1:48:46Speaker 2: Sparkle, but it's not, it's not in Appalachia.
- 1:48:49Speaker 11: Over by there.
- 1:48:50Speaker 6: No.
- 1:48:51Speaker 20: It's right across the street in that other small little plaza.
- 1:48:54Speaker 20: I think there's like a Dollar General or something next
- 1:48:56Speaker 20: to it. Right on that same intersection.
- 1:49:00Speaker 2: There's no dollar. Wait a second here. Are you hallucinating?
- 1:49:04Speaker 2: I'm visualizing now. Are you talking over now? Are you
- 1:49:08Speaker 2: talking by the Cornersburg post office, that Plaza?
- 1:49:11Speaker 11: I don't know if there's.
- 1:49:12Speaker 20: A post office over there.
- 1:49:13Speaker 12: I'll be honest.
- 1:49:14Speaker 2: Well, you ought to pay better attention. I don't see
- 1:49:16Speaker 2: a dollar.
- 1:49:17Speaker 11: God, I don't go there that I don't drive there
- 1:49:19Speaker 11: that often.
- 1:49:20Speaker 2: Well, there's, I don't recall.
- 1:49:23Speaker 11: How many Cornersburg stores are there?
- 1:49:24Speaker 20: There can't be that many.
- 1:49:25Speaker 9: It's not that big.
- 1:49:26Speaker 2: I can't recall a dollar general over there in Cornersburg.
- 1:49:30Speaker 11: Oh, there's Dollar Generals on every corner. What do you mean?
- 1:49:33Speaker 11: You just add num to it.
- 1:49:35Speaker 2: I think you're hallucinating is what I think. All I
- 1:49:38Speaker 2: was trying to say to you is, when you're talking
- 1:49:41Speaker 2: about sausage, of which I love, incidentally, let's see. There
- 1:49:48Speaker 2: was a guy that makes sausage down by the fire
- 1:49:54Speaker 2: station on the west side, but down by Shenley down there,
- 1:49:58Speaker 2: they say. I don't know if he's still around or not.
- 1:50:00Speaker 2: People would brag about it all the time. I had
- 1:50:02Speaker 2: some of it in the past. Are you familiar with
- 1:50:04Speaker 2: where I'm talking about on Shenley?
- 1:50:06Speaker 20: You know, I'm Italian, and we get our sausage from Joseph's.
- 1:50:11Speaker 20: If we don't go there, it's Cornersburg. And if we
- 1:50:14Speaker 20: don't go there.
- 1:50:15Speaker 30: It's at Sparkle.
- 1:50:16Speaker 20: That's it.
- 1:50:17Speaker 2: Where do you go?
- 1:50:18Speaker 11: Nowhere else. Really?
- 1:50:21Speaker 30: Nowhere else.
- 1:50:22Speaker 11: Never a Giant Eagle. And, you know, I love everything.
- 1:50:25Speaker 20: The Rick is not their stuff.
- 1:50:27Speaker 11: I mean, no.
- 1:50:29Speaker 2: Now, get a load of this. Get a load of this,
- 1:50:31Speaker 2: which I've had a sandwich in my community. It's a
- 1:50:36Speaker 2: Sam's Wedge Inn, okay? And it's a sausage sandwich with...
- 1:50:43Speaker 2: With like the pizza sauce on it. What do you
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: call it? The red sauce. So it's a sausage patty
- 1:50:50Speaker 2: like a hamburger with like the red pizza sauce on
- 1:50:53Speaker 2: it and Hungarian hot peppers on it. And it is
- 1:50:56Speaker 2: just phenomenal. DeRusso's sausage patty.
- 1:51:00Speaker 11: Is that what you got?
- 1:51:02Speaker 2: It probably is that. I don't know. I never asked
- 1:51:05Speaker 2: him who made the patty, but it is really good.
- 1:51:07Speaker 2: You know, it comes like a hamburger bun. It looks
- 1:51:09Speaker 2: like a hamburger.
- 1:51:09Speaker 20: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:51:10Speaker 2: Only it's a sausage patty with, you put the, like,
- 1:51:14Speaker 2: pizza sauce on top of it and some Hungarian peppers.
- 1:51:17Speaker 2: And I just sat there and I just said, God,
- 1:51:19Speaker 2: this is so good.
- 1:51:19Speaker 20: That's pretty good.
- 1:51:20Speaker 21: It is.
- 1:51:21Speaker 11: Like the provolone.
- 1:51:22Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 1:51:23Speaker 20: And a homemade roll.
- 1:51:25Speaker 2: And I don't know. It's just really good. I really,
- 1:51:28Speaker 2: I love sausage. I absolutely love it.
- 1:51:32Speaker 11: Yeah, I hate it on the grill, but I like it.
- 1:51:34Speaker 11: I do love sausage. I just don't like it on
- 1:51:36Speaker 11: the grill. It's dry, I think.
- 1:51:38Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. It's just great. I'm surprised you
- 1:51:43Speaker 2: were in the Cornersburg area. Were you trying to spy
- 1:51:45Speaker 2: on JJ?
- 1:51:46Speaker 20: No, I only went there in and out, 20 minutes,
- 1:51:51Speaker 20: in and out to that Italian specialty store. I went
- 1:51:54Speaker 20: to go get my Italian specialty thing.
- 1:51:57Speaker 2: What are you cooking with sausage?
- 1:52:00Speaker 11: Stand by, please.
- 1:52:01Speaker 2: Stand by. I want to get to the bottom of this.
- 1:52:03Speaker 2: Call us online. Hang on. My investigative reporting will continue.
- 1:52:12Speaker 2: If you run a business, you know how hard.
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: News Radio 570 WKBN.
- 1:52:17Speaker 2: I'm trying to get to the bottom of this boss
- 1:52:18Speaker 2: lady who was in Cornersburg. We don't like to hear
- 1:52:21Speaker 2: her straying out of Poland.
- 1:52:23Speaker 11: Got to keep an eye on where I'm headed.
- 1:52:26Speaker 2: Right. You know what I mean?
- 1:52:27Speaker 11: I mean.
- 1:52:28Speaker 2: Shouldn't you be like at the Poland Bulldog game or
- 1:52:31Speaker 2: whatever it is?
- 1:52:32Speaker 11: No, it's been years since my sons.
- 1:52:36Speaker 9: Have played at Poland.
- 1:52:38Speaker 11: So, no.
- 1:52:40Speaker 20: But listen, I have something important to tell you. And
- 1:52:43Speaker 20: then we digressed.
- 1:52:45Speaker 11: On the sausage.
- 1:52:46Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:52:47Speaker 11: I was talking about all this, he wants to blame
- 1:52:49Speaker 11: it all on the Republicans.
- 1:52:50Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:52:51Speaker 11: Both of them have participated in this campaign. Ohio has
- 1:52:56Speaker 11: swung the pendulum so far in favor of businesses. And
- 1:53:00Speaker 11: every time you do, we are a fantastic state to
- 1:53:03Speaker 11: do business in. We're one of the best for businesses
- 1:53:06Speaker 11: is the state of Ohio. It is so favorable towards businesses,
- 1:53:10Speaker 11: and that's great.
- 1:53:11Speaker 6: You need that.
- 1:53:12Speaker 11: However, it's almost like it's too far away.
- 1:53:17Speaker 20: To that side. And every time you do that, it
- 1:53:20Speaker 20: impacts the homeowner because.
- 1:53:22Speaker 11: Somebody has to make up the funding. So if you
- 1:53:24Speaker 11: take away the taxes from.
- 1:53:26Speaker 20: The businesses or you lower them, and they're already massively incentivized,
- 1:53:33Speaker 20: be here. It does burden the homeowner further. But don't
- 1:53:39Speaker 20: sit there like a Democrat and act like you wouldn't
- 1:53:41Speaker 20: find another way to spend it. Because all you would
- 1:53:44Speaker 20: do is go build another freaking library.
- 1:53:48Speaker 11: So maybe ask us for more MRDD money. I mean,
- 1:53:52Speaker 11: come on.
- 1:53:52Speaker 20: These guys, that's all they do is blow money. I
- 1:53:55Speaker 20: disagree with both of them on this, both sides.
- 1:53:58Speaker 11: But the Democrats are far worse. They're the ones who
- 1:54:00Speaker 11: are always the ones giving out the free handouts. They're
- 1:54:03Speaker 11: always the ones that they wanted to be the socialist
- 1:54:06Speaker 11: environment where we keep giving, giving, giving until we have
- 1:54:09Speaker 11: nothing left because they want everybody to be on the
- 1:54:13Speaker 11: same level. They want to level the playing field for everybody.
- 1:54:17Speaker 20: So while I will agree that the Republicans have their
- 1:54:21Speaker 20: hand in this, the Democrats have done the same exact thing.
- 1:54:26Speaker 20: And if it wasn't giving it to businesses, which is
- 1:54:28Speaker 20: far better than giving it to.
- 1:54:30Speaker 11: Some of their social welfare programs.
- 1:54:32Speaker 20: At least we get some sort of economic benefit from that.
- 1:54:36Speaker 20: That guy was off on a, I don't even know
- 1:54:40Speaker 20: where he was going with all that. But the main
- 1:54:42Speaker 20: reason I was calling.
- 1:54:43Speaker 11: Was this Clancy trial had me sick to my stomach.
- 1:54:46Speaker 2: Explained?
- 1:54:48Speaker 11: Oh, whatever she gets, I want him.
- 1:54:50Speaker 20: In the cell next door.
- 1:54:52Speaker 11: He did it.
- 1:54:52Speaker 20: He did it.
- 1:54:55Speaker 11: Now, is it murder one? To me, I don't see
- 1:54:57Speaker 11: how you could make that case. And I am the harshest. Like,
- 1:55:01Speaker 11: I believe in the death penalty. Like, I am 1,000%
- 1:55:03Speaker 11: for the death penalty.
- 1:55:05Speaker 2: Oh, I can tell.
- 1:55:06Speaker 11: An eye for an eye.
- 1:55:07Speaker 2: I can tell you're a tough woman that holds a grudge.
- 1:55:09Speaker 2: I can just tell.
- 1:55:11Speaker 20: Well, I'm just saying.
- 1:55:12Speaker 11: But this guy, he's the worst husband, the worst father.
- 1:55:16Speaker 11: He's been out with this other woman that he met
- 1:55:19Speaker 11: in New York. He's more worried about everything else, was
- 1:55:21Speaker 11: married so quickly after.
- 1:55:24Speaker 20: You left her day in and day out a woman
- 1:55:27Speaker 20: who was begging for help.
- 1:55:29Speaker 11: Now, she deserves to be punished. She committed murder. I
- 1:55:32Speaker 11: don't care if you've got a mental disorder or not
- 1:55:34Speaker 11: a mental disorder.
- 1:55:35Speaker 20: I don't care.
- 1:55:38Speaker 11: She deserves to be punished.
- 1:55:40Speaker 20: But he is culpable.
- 1:55:43Speaker 11: Well, wait a minute.
- 1:55:47Speaker 2: Explain this with the husband. I thought the husband, I
- 1:55:49Speaker 2: thought she sent him out to run errands so that
- 1:55:52Speaker 2: when he was gone, she killed these kids. What do
- 1:55:56Speaker 2: you mean? I didn't know the husband.
- 1:55:58Speaker 11: Now, would you leave your Looney Tunes wife?
- 1:56:01Speaker 20: Would you leave her with your three kids when she's
- 1:56:05Speaker 20: this crazy and on all this medication and you know
- 1:56:08Speaker 20: that you've.
- 1:56:09Speaker 11: Got major problems and they've got postpartum? Men need to
- 1:56:11Speaker 11: wake up. I've never had postpartum.
- 1:56:14Speaker 20: But how many trials have we watched over the years?
- 1:56:17Speaker 20: Men need to buy a clue because.
- 1:56:19Speaker 11: It's a real thing.
- 1:56:21Speaker 20: And these women, I do not believe she wanted to
- 1:56:23Speaker 20: kill her children that day.
- 1:56:25Speaker 11: I think she's a very sick individual.
- 1:56:27Speaker 20: Now does her butt belong in jail?
- 1:56:29Speaker 11: You gotta pay the price. You killed three innocent, beautiful babies.
- 1:56:33Speaker 11: But this husband was going off on business trips. You
- 1:56:36Speaker 11: left her with, you left Looney Tunes with your three kids?
- 1:56:41Speaker 20: Is something wrong with you?
- 1:56:43Speaker 2: So you're saying he wasn't paying that good of attention? Well,
- 1:56:47Speaker 2: she sent him out to run.
- 1:56:48Speaker 11: He was tasting pale. He was tasting pale is what
- 1:56:51Speaker 11: he was doing.
- 1:56:52Speaker 20: He was worried about everything else but her.
- 1:56:54Speaker 2: How do you know? Did he have a girlfriend?
- 1:56:57Speaker 20: Yes, he had a girlfriend. And then he moved to
- 1:56:58Speaker 20: New York quickly after. She was in the hospital. I
- 1:57:01Speaker 20: don't even think he was out of the hospital. And
- 1:57:04Speaker 20: he relocated to New York. His three dead kids.
- 1:57:07Speaker 11: He's not even out of the hospital. This is my
- 1:57:10Speaker 11: impression of what I.
- 1:57:11Speaker 2: Well, now, wait a minute. I haven't heard this part.
- 1:57:14Speaker 2: So you're saying that this is interesting. I haven't heard this.
- 1:57:17Speaker 2: So you... Stand by, please. I get the latest gossip
- 1:57:20Speaker 2: from the boss lady. I mean, she's on top of things.

- 1:58:36Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570 WKVN.
- 1:58:38Speaker 2: Now, I want to make sure I got this clear
- 1:58:40Speaker 2: because I get all my information on this from Ted
- 1:58:42Speaker 2: the Conservative. I have not watched the trial or anything
- 1:58:46Speaker 2: along those lines.
- 1:58:46Speaker 11: 30 months. His babies were dead three months, and he moved.
- 1:58:51Speaker 20: I don't even think she was out of the hospital,
- 1:58:53Speaker 20: but three months. He moved to New York, aware he
- 1:58:58Speaker 20: had been dating and seeing a woman who he's now
- 1:59:01Speaker 20: married to and has more kids with.
- 1:59:04Speaker 5: This guy knew.
- 1:59:06Speaker 11: He told him she had feelings of harming herself and
- 1:59:11Speaker 11: her children. He knew that. He was begging the medical
- 1:59:14Speaker 11: community for help.
- 1:59:15Speaker 2: Now, wait a second. I just want to get this
- 1:59:18Speaker 2: through my head. So according to you, because, wait a second,
- 1:59:21Speaker 2: according to you, you're saying, just so I get this straight,
- 1:59:26Speaker 2: because I haven't followed it like I should, but you're
- 1:59:30Speaker 2: saying that the woman that killed her three kids, they
- 1:59:34Speaker 2: were together, this husband and wife were together at the
- 1:59:37Speaker 2: time when this happened, because she sent him to the store,
- 1:59:41Speaker 2: and when he was away, she killed him. Was he
- 1:59:43Speaker 2: having an affair at that time?
- 1:59:47Speaker 20: He claims no.
- 1:59:49Speaker 11: He claims no.
- 1:59:51Speaker 20: But there is other stuff that I can't even get into. But, yes,
- 1:59:56Speaker 20: they were both at the same— they' d both given a review
- 2:00:00Speaker 20: of a trip that they had taken at the same time.
- 2:00:03Speaker 20: There's a lot of things saying that, yes, he was.
- 2:00:05Speaker 11: Okay, so— A month later, he killed them.
- 2:00:20Speaker 2: So you're saying he wasn't paying attention. He was too
- 2:00:22Speaker 2: focused on his girlfriend.
- 2:00:25Speaker 11: Still worried on face and tail. He was still worried
- 2:00:27Speaker 11: about whatever else was going on and he, listen, if
- 2:00:31Speaker 11: you have a wife who had a postpartum who says,
- 2:00:33Speaker 11: I have a feeling I'm going to hurt myself or
- 2:00:36Speaker 11: my children, do you leave her?
- 2:00:37Speaker 18: No.
- 2:00:37Speaker 11: Do you not phone a friend?
- 2:00:39Speaker 20: You call your sister, your brother, your neighbor. Can you
- 2:00:42Speaker 20: come over and sit here for 20 minutes?
- 2:00:44Speaker 24: Your mother.
- 2:00:45Speaker 5: You hide her a nanny.
- 2:00:47Speaker 4: You do something.
- 2:00:48Speaker 2: Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
- 2:00:49Speaker 2: Hang on a second.
- 2:00:50Speaker 28: Hang on.
- 2:00:50Speaker 2: Just hang on. Wait a second here.

- 2:00:59Speaker 9: Boss Lady, how you doing?
- 2:01:00Speaker 2: How are you? I'm going on a tangent. Okay, forget
- 2:01:04Speaker 2: you guys having a social meeting here. Now, are you
- 2:01:08Speaker 2: familiar with this, Ted, since you have been kind of
- 2:01:11Speaker 2: my entertainment reporter?
- 2:01:13Speaker 6: I listen to every minute of the hearing. There's an
- 2:01:16Speaker 6: audio replay of it. I can send you the link
- 2:01:19Speaker 6: if you'd like.
- 2:01:20Speaker 2: Okay, I want you to talk about what the boss said.
- 2:01:24Speaker 2: Was the husband... He.
- 2:01:27Speaker 6: Was involved in her care. He doesn't have any children
- 2:01:32Speaker 6: with his new wife. He was involved with her care.
- 2:01:35Speaker 6: He was trying to get help. The medical system filled
- 2:01:39Speaker 6: this family, in my opinion. After listening to all of
- 2:01:43Speaker 6: the evidence.
- 2:01:43Speaker 2: But wait a second. Do you think that he was
- 2:01:47Speaker 2: seeing another woman when this was happening?
- 2:01:51Speaker 6: No, there's no indication of that through any of the testimony.
- 2:01:54Speaker 2: So you're telling me... Not in the.
- 2:01:58Speaker 20: Testimony, but they have found where they were both at
- 2:02:02Speaker 20: the same vacation spot and both gave the same... They
- 2:02:07Speaker 20: reviewed at the same time at the same location. It's
- 2:02:11Speaker 20: just awfully coincidental, but nothing that's been testified.
- 2:02:14Speaker 2: Right, but three months.
- 2:02:17Speaker 6: But he doesn't have any children with this new woman.
- 2:02:19Speaker 2: All right, but three months.
- 2:02:20Speaker 11: Oh, yeah, that I just looked it up while you
- 2:02:22Speaker 11: were saying that. I thought, is he pregnant now, then?
- 2:02:27Speaker 6: Not that I know of. They went into a lot
- 2:02:29Speaker 6: of that stuff about his... I've heard a lot of
- 2:02:32Speaker 6: stuff about him.
- 2:02:33Speaker 2: What have you heard about him? Do you think he's left?
- 2:02:40Speaker 6: I think the poor guy, you know, when trauma happens
- 2:02:43Speaker 6: in life, we all react differently. And I think when
- 2:02:46Speaker 6: there's trauma at this level, I think it's easy to
- 2:02:49Speaker 6: second guess how someone behaves. But until you go through
- 2:02:53Speaker 6: that trauma yourself, you just don't know how you react.
- 2:02:55Speaker 2: But does it seem weird? Now, wait a second. Ted,
- 2:02:58Speaker 2: does it seem weird to you? You're telling me, just
- 2:03:02Speaker 2: so I get this right, boss, you're telling me three
- 2:03:04Speaker 2: months after she killed his kids, he left and went
- 2:03:08Speaker 2: to New York and married another woman?
- 2:03:10Speaker 11: Well, he didn't marry her that soon, but he picked
- 2:03:14Speaker 11: up and moved to New York, and that's where he's from.
- 2:03:16Speaker 6: And.
- 2:03:18Speaker 20: Now, here's the thing.
- 2:03:19Speaker 6: Well, obviously, he couldn't go back in the house. I mean,
- 2:03:21Speaker 6: who would want to go back in the house?
- 2:03:22Speaker 11: Well, of course he wouldn't go back in the house.
- 2:03:24Speaker 11: He wasn't even out of prison.
- 2:03:25Speaker 2: But don't you find it a little odd?
- 2:03:27Speaker 13: Yeah, I agree.
- 2:03:27Speaker 6: I agree with that part. It makes no sense to me.
- 2:03:30Speaker 6: I would never leave my wife under those conditions.
- 2:03:33Speaker 2: Yeah, but doesn't it seem odd that after this traumatic
- 2:03:36Speaker 2: event that you would move to New York and hook
- 2:03:40Speaker 2: up with another woman that quickly?
- 2:03:43Speaker 6: I don't know when the relationship began, so I can't
- 2:03:46Speaker 6: speak to that. But I agree with you. I would
- 2:03:49Speaker 6: have been with my wife no matter how hard I worked.
- 2:03:51Speaker 20: Would you have left her with your babies alone in
- 2:03:56Speaker 20: the house? Knowing that she told you to see a feeling,
- 2:04:02Speaker 20: to kill herself, kill the kid's harm, and he testified
- 2:04:06Speaker 20: to that.
- 2:04:07Speaker 12: You're right.
- 2:04:08Speaker 16: You're right.
- 2:04:09Speaker 6: I think once she made that known to him, and
- 2:04:12Speaker 6: the rest of the family, that's where he made a
- 2:04:15Speaker 6: big mistake. She should have never been alone, ever.
- 2:04:19Speaker 11: Never.
- 2:04:19Speaker 6: When someone tells you they're just thinking about doing what
- 2:04:21Speaker 6: he said, I agree with you. He should not have
- 2:04:23Speaker 6: left her.
- 2:04:24Speaker 8: He should.
- 2:04:26Speaker 6: And I agree with you. You know, you could almost say,
- 2:04:29Speaker 6: like you said, isn't he culpable for leaving her alone
- 2:04:32Speaker 6: with the kids when she told him, you know, I'm
- 2:04:35Speaker 6: thinking about killing the kids and myself. I feel sorry.
- 2:04:38Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 2:04:39Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 2:04:42Speaker 20: See, this woman was begging for help.
- 2:04:44Speaker 11: And when you listen to her defense attorney read the
- 2:04:48Speaker 11: journal entry, the medication was making her so sick. She
- 2:04:52Speaker 11: had insomnia so bad. She was screaming for help.
- 2:04:57Speaker 20: Her husband was not there to help her. He wasn't
- 2:05:01Speaker 20: paying attention. He was asleep at the wheel.
- 2:05:03Speaker 11: And these medical professionals failed her.
- 2:05:07Speaker 20: And now we have three dead kids. This woman's life,
- 2:05:10Speaker 20: his life is, I don't know.
- 2:05:12Speaker 11: You know, I mean, everybody's life is ruined here.
- 2:05:15Speaker 20: But he certainly is not squeaky clean here.
- 2:05:19Speaker 12: Yeah, it's sad.
- 2:05:20Speaker 6: It's a sad, sad situation. I just feel bad for
- 2:05:24Speaker 6: the woman in that she tried to get help. She
- 2:05:27Speaker 6: knew there was definitely a problem. I mean, who calls
- 2:05:31Speaker 6: a suicide hotline twice and is told they can't help you?
- 2:05:35Speaker 6: Can you imagine that? Like, what about the suicide hotline?
- 2:05:39Speaker 6: And what about the doctors? I mean, there needs to
- 2:05:42Speaker 6: be more people held accountable.
- 2:05:45Speaker 11: It definitely does. And men need to wake up about this.
- 2:05:48Speaker 2: Wait a second. Hang on, hang on. I think I
- 2:05:52Speaker 2: lost Ted. But anyway, go ahead, boss lady.
- 2:05:54Speaker 20: The point of it all is the men need to
- 2:05:57Speaker 20: wake up about this postpartum.
- 2:05:59Speaker 11: Like I said, I've never had it. I've never experienced it.
- 2:06:03Speaker 2: I don't.
- 2:06:04Speaker 20: But it is a real thing. We've seen how many
- 2:06:06Speaker 20: trials where women go. I don't know the hormones or
- 2:06:10Speaker 20: whatever is happening there.
- 2:06:11Speaker 11: It's completely normal. And they go through the psychosis. And
- 2:06:17Speaker 11: men need to start paying attention and waking up because
- 2:06:19Speaker 11: I feel like, you know what, if they don't want
- 2:06:21Speaker 11: to wake up, start holding them partly responsible for this
- 2:06:24Speaker 11: because he knew how bad she was.
- 2:06:30Speaker 2: And you're saying that this is after you give birth
- 2:06:33Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff, you know, she.
- 2:06:35Speaker 20: Yeah, it's just after childbirth or whatever.
- 2:06:38Speaker 18: Mm-hmm.
- 2:06:40Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean, it's a serious thing.
- 2:06:42Speaker 4: So let me ask you this.
- 2:06:45Speaker 2: How do you punish someone like this? If you're on
- 2:06:48Speaker 2: the jury, what do you decide?
- 2:06:51Speaker 11: I think he's not going to be found guilty with murder.
- 2:06:54Speaker 20: One, I don't know how you do that.
- 2:06:55Speaker 11: When the woman was begging for help and telling everybody
- 2:06:58Speaker 11: that she was.
- 2:06:59Speaker 20: And all the symptoms that she recorded, I don't know.
- 2:07:02Speaker 11: Obviously, you'd have to be insane. His mother.
- 2:07:06Speaker 20: Now, I don't know if Ted knows.
- 2:07:08Speaker 11: I heard this, and I did check it. But, I mean,
- 2:07:11Speaker 11: I don't know. He watched the trial.
- 2:07:12Speaker 20: I didn't watch all of the trial. His mother actually
- 2:07:16Speaker 20: supporting her is what I heard was on her side.
- 2:07:20Speaker 20: And she never supposedly even attended the wedding.
- 2:07:24Speaker 11: So, I mean, his mother is saying that she was
- 2:07:28Speaker 11: a wonderful mom.
- 2:07:28Speaker 20: She was an attentive mom.
- 2:07:30Speaker 11: And all of a sudden, now she's crazy, and she
- 2:07:34Speaker 11: strangles the three kids. head through her children. Whatever.
- 2:07:39Speaker 20: It's awful.
- 2:07:40Speaker 11: It's completely awful.
- 2:07:42Speaker 20: But he needs, I mean, I'm sorry.
- 2:07:44Speaker 11: He's partly culpable. I'm fine with whatever punishment they give her.
- 2:07:47Speaker 20: I think he needs to be right next to her.
- 2:07:49Speaker 20: Because I do believe, I do believe he was out
- 2:07:54Speaker 20: of town too much. He was traveling too much, and
- 2:07:57Speaker 20: he wasn't attentive enough.
- 2:07:58Speaker 11: And it sounded like he was a little lackadaisical.
- 2:08:01Speaker 20: Now, I get it.
- 2:08:02Speaker 11: Hindsight 2020, right?
- 2:08:04Speaker 20: And this is a bad one, but come on.
- 2:08:06Speaker 5: This woman was sick.
- 2:08:10Speaker 2: Yeah, so basically, it's got to be tough on this
- 2:08:15Speaker 2: jury because they've got to be really going through a
- 2:08:17Speaker 2: lot of debate over it all.
- 2:08:19Speaker 20: Oh, yeah, and then today they came back and the
- 2:08:21Speaker 20: judge sent them home.
- 2:08:23Speaker 11: I thought that we were going to get a verdict today,
- 2:08:27Speaker 11: and we didn't.
- 2:08:28Speaker 20: So, honestly, the woman's a paraplegic now, I believe.
- 2:08:32Speaker 6: Threw herself out of the window.
- 2:08:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, wasn't that— and the window wasn't that high.
- 2:08:40Speaker 12: No, I don't understand.
- 2:08:41Speaker 11: To me, that's very interesting.
- 2:08:44Speaker 6: And I'm not going to go.
- 2:08:44Speaker 20: Down the crazy cuckoo pop theories that are out there
- 2:08:48Speaker 20: right now.
- 2:08:48Speaker 5: But it is very interesting.
- 2:08:50Speaker 20: I don't know how you become a paraplegic by just
- 2:08:54Speaker 20: a two-story room.
- 2:08:56Speaker 11: I don't know how you could do that.
- 2:08:58Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 2:08:58Speaker 11: I mean, maybe she was bleeding and she couldn't plan
- 2:09:02Speaker 11: the fall. I don't know.
- 2:09:03Speaker 4: But yeah, she's a paraplegic.
- 2:09:08Speaker 11: Not a paraplegic.
- 2:09:09Speaker 12: She's in a wheelchair.
- 2:09:10Speaker 2: I don't know what. I mean, I don't know. How
- 2:09:16Speaker 2: tragic is it all? Those three babies are dead. And
- 2:09:21Speaker 2: the whole thing is just so.
- 2:09:24Speaker 20: It's a mess.
- 2:09:26Speaker 2: It really is.
- 2:09:27Speaker 20: It's very sad.
- 2:09:28Speaker 2: You know, keep me– this is– Boss Lady, if we
- 2:09:33Speaker 2: get a verdict tomorrow, I want to get your reaction
- 2:09:35Speaker 2: to it. Okay. In addition, we'll be talking to Boss
- 2:09:38Speaker 2: Lady about sausage and the verdict tomorrow.
- 2:09:45Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
- 2:09:46Speaker 4: Okay, thanks.
- 2:09:53Speaker 2: I like her analysis. I kind of like both her
- 2:09:56Speaker 2: and Ted's analysis. See, I mean, I watch this stuff.
- 2:10:05Speaker 2: But I dig their analysis. I dig their give and take.
- 2:10:10Speaker 2: Because Ted has actually watched and listened to all this stuff.
- 2:10:13Speaker 2: And the boss lady's on top of the game. So
- 2:10:15Speaker 2: I don't have to. I can sit back and I
- 2:10:17Speaker 2: can learn from the two of them having a discussion.
- 2:10:20Speaker 2: You're on the air.
- 2:10:22Speaker 11: Hey, Ron.
- 2:10:24Speaker 12: You.
- 2:10:24Speaker 11: You.
- 2:10:25Speaker 9: Well, I tell you.
- 2:10:27Speaker 2: Oh, excuse me. I didn't recognize you at first. It's
- 2:10:30Speaker 2: Bubba Ganoush.
- 2:10:31Speaker 9: Yeah, hold on.
- 2:10:32Speaker 11: Listen.
- 2:10:33Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:10:35Speaker 9: This thing with Venezuela, you know, Trump worked out a deal.
- 2:10:38Speaker 9: You know, we're not going to see anything for about
- 2:10:40Speaker 9: two years. Oh, look at those tears. Oh, look at that. Anyhow,
- 2:10:47Speaker 9: on that. Secondly, I hear people saying, oh, he's still
- 2:10:51Speaker 9: in the war. They don't understand that. He's trying to
- 2:10:55Speaker 9: break Iran's bank so they don't have money to feed
- 2:11:01Speaker 9: the proxies in Lebanon, you know, in Hezbollah, Hamas, and Houthis.
- 2:11:08Speaker 24: Why don't people understand that?
- 2:11:11Speaker 2: Someone wanted me to ask you since they said, well,
- 2:11:14Speaker 2: what does Baba Ghanoush think about all this stuff Israel's
- 2:11:18Speaker 2: doing in Lebanon? What is his thoughts about that?
- 2:11:22Speaker 9: Well, that's because it's a proxy. that is funded by Iran,
- 2:11:27Speaker 9: and what their goal is is to constantly pound on Israel. Now,
- 2:11:35Speaker 9: you wouldn't want anybody pounding on your house constantly, would you?
- 2:11:38Speaker 11: No.
- 2:11:40Speaker 17: Okay.
- 2:11:41Speaker 9: So that's what that's all about. And Hezbollah has been
- 2:11:45Speaker 9: in Lebanon, and I've been against that from day one,
- 2:11:49Speaker 9: but the people in Lebanon go, oh, no, they're nice people.
- 2:11:52Speaker 10: I'm going, no, they're not.
- 2:11:54Speaker 9: Okay, secondly, this thing with Sharia law, you know how
- 2:11:58Speaker 9: they're talking about in the United States? Every woman in
- 2:12:03Speaker 9: the United States should be totally against this because they
- 2:12:08Speaker 9: fought for their freedoms and their rights. Sharia law takes
- 2:12:11Speaker 9: that all away from women. You can beat them up
- 2:12:14Speaker 9: and get away with it. Did you know that?
- 2:12:17Speaker 2: Well, I'm not interested in practicing Sharia law. I don't
- 2:12:20Speaker 2: live in the Middle East.
- 2:12:22Speaker 9: No, no, no. United States.
- 2:12:24Speaker 2: I know. I don't embrace it.
- 2:12:27Speaker 9: Okay.
- 2:12:29Speaker 2: If you want to live that way, you go live
- 2:12:30Speaker 2: in a country that's where the rules are. That's how
- 2:12:32Speaker 2: it works here.
- 2:12:33Speaker 3: Yeah, it does.
- 2:12:35Speaker 9: They've got Sharia law courts here. They've got 100 in
- 2:12:41Speaker 9: Great Britain. They have them down in Texas and everything.
- 2:12:44Speaker 2: I'm not interested in living in any country that has
- 2:12:47Speaker 2: Sharia law or Mediterranean food.
- 2:12:50Speaker 9: Okay, whatever.
- 2:12:51Speaker 2: Well, I'm just.
- 2:12:52Speaker 4: Here we go.
- 2:12:53Speaker 9: Back to the Mediterranean.
- 2:12:54Speaker 2: Oh, I gotta have sausage.
- 2:12:57Speaker 9: Yeah. Yeah, milk and mashed potatoes.
- 2:13:00Speaker 11: Yes.
- 2:13:01Speaker 2: I love mashed potatoes. And milk.
- 2:13:04Speaker 24: I know.
- 2:13:04Speaker 9: That's your favorite food.
- 2:13:05Speaker 2: All right. I mean, if you would partake in my
- 2:13:09Speaker 2: wife's roast beef dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy, you
- 2:13:12Speaker 2: would give up Mediterranean food in the blink of an eye,
- 2:13:14Speaker 2: I'm telling you. She makes it great. That's right.
- 2:13:18Speaker 5: And.
- 2:13:20Speaker 2: And a great turkey, too. Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes. Oh,
- 2:13:22Speaker 2: it's great. It's wonderful. All right.
- 2:13:25Speaker 9: You never invited me.
- 2:13:27Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
- 2:13:29Speaker 6: Okay.
- 2:13:29Speaker 2: Was I supposed to?
- 2:13:31Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 2:13:32Speaker 9: You're asking me if I would taste it.
- 2:13:37Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
- 2:13:39Speaker 9: I just want to let you know that... Oh, and
- 2:13:42Speaker 9: the other thing.
- 2:13:43Speaker 6: Is, I heard.
- 2:13:48Speaker 11: Kennedy.
- 2:13:49Speaker 9: You know, the senator, and he was saying that the
- 2:13:53Speaker 9: Senate doesn't want to support Paxson. You know, and that....
- 2:13:58Speaker 2: Why not?
- 2:13:59Speaker 11: I have no clue.
- 2:14:00Speaker 9: So you know what Trump's going to do? He's going
- 2:14:03Speaker 9: to campaign like he's running in 2028. He's going to
- 2:14:07Speaker 9: hit the road hard, he said. And he's going to
- 2:14:10Speaker 9: start campaigning like he's running for office. Isn't that great?
- 2:14:15Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you've got to do what you've got
- 2:14:17Speaker 2: to do to try to prevent you from losing the majority.
- 2:14:21Speaker 2: I mean, can you imagine the hell this country will
- 2:14:23Speaker 2: be through for two years if the Democrats take one
- 2:14:27Speaker 2: of the two houses or both of them? Oh, we'll
- 2:14:29Speaker 2: get nothing done, Ron. Exactly. That's exactly right. Here is what.
- 2:14:39Speaker 2: How about this one? At the time of writing, Polly
- 2:14:42Speaker 2: Market put Amy Acton's chance of victory at 54% and
- 2:14:47Speaker 2: Ramaswamy's at 47%. I don't believe that. Well, Kalshi, did
- 2:14:54Speaker 2: I say that right, showed Acton ahead with 55% to 45%.
- 2:14:58Speaker 2: So Polly Market and how do you say it, Kalshi?
- 2:15:02Speaker 2: Kalshi or whatever. 55% to 45%. Both markets had priced.
- 2:15:07Speaker 2: The contest is essentially even only days before August 24th
- 2:15:11Speaker 2: when traders move sharply toward acting. The reversal raises the
- 2:15:15Speaker 2: prospect of a genuine contest for an open governor's office
- 2:15:19Speaker 2: in a state Trump carried by 11.2 points. I mean,
- 2:15:23Speaker 2: it's percentages. I should say what, who in their right
- 2:15:26Speaker 2: mind would vote for her?
- 2:15:27Speaker 9: Amy will destroy the state.
- 2:15:29Speaker 2: I agree. I totally agree. I mean, I, it's, uh,
- 2:15:36Speaker 2: I mean, she's a liberal and a tax and spender and–
- 2:15:40Speaker 2: I can't see it, but, I mean, are people just
- 2:15:43Speaker 2: so pissed off at the Republican? Like I say, any
- 2:15:46Speaker 2: of you Democrats that are benefiting with your property tax
- 2:15:49Speaker 2: increase is not going up as much this time because
- 2:15:52Speaker 2: the reappraisals is solely because of Dave Thomas and the Republicans.
- 2:15:56Speaker 2: The Democrats didn't support that.
- 2:15:57Speaker 9: That's right. Your buddy Dave Thomas is a good guy.
- 2:16:00Speaker 2: He is a good guy. That's the sole reason you're
- 2:16:02Speaker 2: not hit with another 20% increase is because of him.
- 2:16:10Speaker 9: If I was down there, me and him would be buddies.
- 2:16:12Speaker 9: You know that, right?
- 2:16:14Speaker 2: I don't think he'd want you as a friend.
- 2:16:16Speaker 20: What?
- 2:16:17Speaker 9: Oh, okay. Thanks, Ron.
- 2:16:19Speaker 2: I'm just saying. I'm giving you some analysis. I don't
- 2:16:23Speaker 2: know that I would want to share you, okay?
- 2:16:27Speaker 11: You know what, Ron?
- 2:16:27Speaker 9: Just something else.
- 2:16:29Speaker 2: Thank you. We'll be back.
- 2:16:32Speaker 4: All right, back to it. News Radio 570 WKBN.
- 2:16:41Speaker 2: You're on the air.
- 2:16:43Speaker 4: Hello.
- 2:16:44Speaker 28: Hey, the fellow that won't let you talk?
- 2:16:47Speaker 2: Yes.
- 2:16:48Speaker 3: Okay.
- 2:16:50Speaker 11: You might want to tell him.
- 2:16:51Speaker 28: There's no such thing in the Constitution of the United
- 2:16:53Speaker 28: States as a separation of church and state. It's something
- 2:16:56Speaker 28: that Thomas Jefferson said, but it's not the law.
- 2:17:00Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. He wouldn't let me speak anything. I mean,
- 2:17:04Speaker 2: he spews all of this stuff, and we couldn't even
- 2:17:07Speaker 2: have a conversation. He was on fire today, wasn't he?
- 2:17:10Speaker 28: Yeah, I mean, but he said, I want us to
- 2:17:14Speaker 28: go by the Constitution, you know, and there's a separation
- 2:17:17Speaker 28: of church and state, and it's not in the Constitution.
- 2:17:22Speaker 28: So he's off someplace. I don't know.
- 2:17:26Speaker 2: The only point I was trying to make to him was,
- 2:17:29Speaker 2: is it wrong to say that somebody can leave a
- 2:17:32Speaker 2: bad school district and put their kid in some other
- 2:17:34Speaker 2: district where they think they get a better education? Is
- 2:17:38Speaker 2: it wrong to give the parent a choice? I mean,
- 2:17:41Speaker 2: in his opinion, if they want to say, well, I
- 2:17:43Speaker 2: want to take my tax dollars and go to, whether
- 2:17:46Speaker 2: it's any of these private schools or or another public
- 2:17:53Speaker 2: school to empower parents to be able to say, I
- 2:17:56Speaker 2: think my kid to get a much better education, better
- 2:17:58Speaker 2: environment if they come over here.
- 2:18:00Speaker 28: And if the kids get a better education, we benefit
- 2:18:03Speaker 28: from it because they become a more productive person all
- 2:18:06Speaker 28: their lives.
- 2:18:07Speaker 2: There you have it. I would think so, wouldn't you?
- 2:18:10Speaker 28: It's like investing money in a good thing.
- 2:18:13Speaker 2: There you go.
- 2:18:14Speaker 20: Okay.
- 2:18:14Speaker 28: Well, anyway, I just wanted to talk to you and
- 2:18:16Speaker 28: tell you a little bit about the Constitution.
- 2:18:18Speaker 6: All right.
- 2:18:19Speaker 2: Thank you. Appreciate it. All right. Thanks. You're on the air. Hello.
- 2:18:23Speaker 11: Hey, Ron.
- 2:18:23Speaker 8: How you doing, bud?
- 2:18:24Speaker 2: Good, sir. Go ahead, please.
- 2:18:26Speaker 11: You know what?
- 2:18:27Speaker 30: That man... Better pray to God that there is a
- 2:18:31Speaker 30: separation of church and state. Because what's coming with Islam,
- 2:18:36Speaker 30: they're trying to create a religion based on the laws.
- 2:18:40Speaker 3: That are going to be passed.
- 2:18:41Speaker 30: They're going to indoctrinate our children through the education system
- 2:18:45Speaker 30: for Sharia law and all this other stuff that's going on.
- 2:18:51Speaker 30: I don't think that man did the fine bottom line
- 2:18:55Speaker 30: of research on our Constitution.
- 2:18:57Speaker 2: All right. I got you. I'm running out of time.
