  Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: And good afternoon, NewsRadio 570 WKBN and Ron Verb this afternoon.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: 305 in the afternoon. It's Wednesday, hump day, September 2nd already.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: 92 degrees, a hot, humid Wednesday afternoon. It's nice to
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: be with you.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: 330-729-9977.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: 330-729-9977 will get you through to us. I am actually
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: looking forward to something today. I'm looking forward to the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: boss lady's call. Have you been listening? She's been talking
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: about this Clancy case that Clay and Buck have been
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: talking about since.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I think she's better than Nancy Grace. I really do,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the boss lady. Yesterday, the day before that, as she
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: talks about this, and now this is just kind of
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: hanging on. There isn't a verdict or anything along those lines.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: But some of the stuff that you see here about
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: this particular case is interesting. I mean, there is truly
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: mental illness. There are people that are nuts, that are
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: mentally ill. There are psychiatric drugs that can have a
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: negative effect on you. I mean, I think a lot
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: of times, I don't know if it's mental illness or
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: what you can say is misunderstood. People suffer from PTSD
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: on situations that happen in their life. certainly soldiers and
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: others suffer from PTSD. I mean, there, there is mental illness.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: There is PTSD. And it's why I say, it's why
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I start to say no one in their right mind
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: would kill their children to begin with. I mean, period, you,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: you can't be in your right mind to commit a
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: lot of these, a lot of these crimes. I mean,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: It just wouldn't happen. The thought of her strangling her
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: three children. But then the more that I find out
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: about this case, it's just intriguing to me. Oh, she
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: jumped out of a second story window and she thought
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: she had committed suicide. Well, I didn't know until I
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: was told yesterday. No, she did like off a diving board.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: She went out head first, not feet first. That's why
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: she's paralyzed from the waist down. Because when she hit
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the ground, she hit it with her head and Now
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: she's paralyzed. So that's kind of a different detail than, oh,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: she tried to kill herself jumping out of a second-story window. Well,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I would say when you're jumping out of a second-story
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: window like you're going off a diving board into a
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: swimming pool, that's a whole different scenario than what I
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: pictured in my mind. And I don't think anybody that's
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: basically saying that there is a mental illness here is
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: saying that, oh, she should go free in a year
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: or two or anything like that. I don't get that
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: sense from anybody. I'm just saying that I sense from
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: some of these folks, and I'd be curious to hear
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: from more of you, that there is mental illness, that
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: she probably is guilty by reason of whatever insanity or
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: whatever mental illness. Obviously, you would go get additional treatments.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: And then go to jail. I don't think anybody's thinking, oh,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: she'll be a free woman in six months or a
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: year or anything along those lines because she did kill
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: and she admits these three children. But there is, I mean,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: there are people that suffer depression. There are people that
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: are bipolar. There are people that have PTSD. There is
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: mental illness. And there are prescription drugs that are prescribed
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: that have some ill effect. So anyway, it's just, I
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: don't know. It would be interesting at some point to
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: find out what are they deadlocked on. I mean, what's
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the holdup? That would be interesting to see as time
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: goes on. 309 in the afternoon. Let me get underway here.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: You're on air.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, hi.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: I'm calling you from the Canfield Fair property tax tent.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: And just to remind everybody that I'm at the fair
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: taking signatures if they want to sign. Brian Massey stopped
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: by earlier. He brought a special hat for you. So
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: if you're at the fair, you know, the next couple days,
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: stop by and I'll give you your hat. If not,
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: I'll deliver it to the studio.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: So it's very hot. Now it's not a dunce hat,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: is it, or anything like that? No, no, no, no.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: It's an actual Ohio tax hat, but it has other
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: special writing on it just for you.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, Brian Massey. Brian Massey is truly a great human being,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: and he stopped by. But are you at the Republican tent?
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: No, I'm right next door. I have my own tent.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: You have your own tent. You're there taking signatures. So
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: hats off to you. Hats off to Brian Massey. Hats
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: off to you. And here you are, Canfield Fair, on

  Speaker 5: Bucket of fries. That would be nice, actually. And I
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: picked up a permanent signing station while I was out

  Speaker 5: here in Berlin Center. It's called Nassau Pietro Winery.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's fantastic. I mean, what you're doing is terrific.

  Speaker 2: the Republican tent?
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm right next door.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I have my own tent.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: All right.

  Speaker 5: Yeah, paid for by me.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Paid for by you, and are you there? I mean,
• 6:09

  Speaker 2: from 930 in the morning till 10 o'clock at night
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: for the next six days or whatever, you're going to
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: sit there and you're going to try to get signatures
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: to simply get on the ballot. A constitutional amendment. People
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: can vote for it or against it to eliminate property taxes.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: And I admire all that you have done and all
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: that you are doing. And if you go to the fair,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: go find Denise and sign the petition. Just go. Yes, please.

  Speaker 2: at 5 and remind folks. You're on the air.
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: Hey, Ron, how you doing? I like that, Denise. She's
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: a committed person. I love her.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Do you remember last year, I think you even made
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: an appearance at the 10s.
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: No, I helped, yeah.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: That's okay.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Listen, and I went to other locations, but you know what?
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: I'm a citizen, right? And I'm trying to do my
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: citizen duty, okay?
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but, I mean, look at, listen, look at her,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: and she's done this now for quite some period of time,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: to go out like she's doing from, what, 9, 30
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: in the morning until 10 at night, all during the fair.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Here's a woman that says, I'm doing something, I've done
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: something for... over a year to collect signatures. And frankly,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: we've done more in this community than any other community
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: to collect signatures to get this on the ballot. The
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: time that she's devoted, all that she's done, I just
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: have a world of respect for her. And I'm serious.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: If you go out to the Canfield Fair, look for
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Denise and give her a pop or whatever you can
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: as she sits there and grabs signatures. What a great lady.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: What a great lady.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: Well, you know what?
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: Why don't you go out there and get your hat?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Because I happen to be here broadcasting. No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: This week.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I will go to it.
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: I thought you were going to broadcast from the from
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: your tent out there.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: No, no, we don't have a tent out there. I
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: can't broadcast from. You think I'm going to sit in
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: a 92 degree tent and broadcast?
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Then, you know, Denise is out
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: there in the 90s.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Yes. But see, this is like an operating room, which
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I'm in. I have to.
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: Oh, I get it now.
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I have to stay focused. I can't be out... If
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I'm out at the fair, I'm drinking lemon shakes. I'm
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: eating a bucket of fries. I'm talking to people. I'm
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: not concentrating on a program and... Well, quite frankly, we
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: don't even have the staff to do all that, so.
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: There you go. Yeah, I know you guys reduced your
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: staff tremendously. Hey, listen, Scott Besson took one of my lines.
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: I couldn't believe it.
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: He called the Democrats uneducated idiots.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Well, that's not very nice.
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: Well, he's saying because they're trumping socialism and everything else.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: But somebody's voting for these people.
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry, they're educated idiots.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Somebody is voting for these people. I mean, it's... i
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: and i'll be the first to say as i've said
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: on a regular basis the economy's not in great shape
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: inflation has hurt a lot hurts tons of people we
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: we've all gotten we've.
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: All gone economy isn't a good no.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: It's not no inflation has made us all poor things
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: are too expensive and And I totally get it. And
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: all the polling says when it comes to voting, people
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: are voting based on the economy, which doesn't surprise me.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: It's the economy, stupid as Carville says. And frankly, I
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: think we have to acknowledge that more needs to be
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: done at lightning speed to fix whatever we can.
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: Well, Trump's doing that every day.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: He's doing something.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Well, he's not doing much that people are happy with.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: People are not happy with gas prices. People are not
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: happy with the inflation that comes with it. Yes, I
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: know Biden created a lot of it, but it doesn't matter.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: He's in charge now.
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: Well, no, he's working hard. Listen.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Listen, I understand that. I understand he's working hard. I would,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: as I said, I couldn't vote for any Democrats. I
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: understand that he's working hard. I get it. How about
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Sherrod Brown?
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: Did you see his commercials?
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Sherrod Brown. He's a joke. Sherrod Brown.
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: How about Amy Acton? Did you see she tripped on
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: her doggy?
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Amy Acton, I would never vote for her. I wouldn't
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: vote for Sherrod Brown. The Republicans are a much better choice,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: but it's okay to say I'm disappointed in the Republicans.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it's okay.
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: Believe me, there's a lot of Republicans that are disappointed.
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: But listen, I want to mention one other thing. Vivek's
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: going to be at the Republican tent Sunday at 3 o'clock,
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: if anybody's interested.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: You know what? So be it. I've never seen Vivek
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: on my doorstep out here yet. So we shall see.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, and we shall see. You don't give haircuts. Well,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: I'm not a barber.
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I know. That's a joke of it.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Okay. All right. Bubba Gadoosh. You're on air.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Hey, Ron.
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: How you doing?
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: Hey, I want to go a little bit local here.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: Maybe throw this up the flagpole. Maybe we get somebody
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: to respond to this.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: How does a local school district, and I'll name it Boardman,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: how do they go from a $ 75 million yearly budget, okay,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Until last year, they said they didn't need the $ 300, 000.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: From the mall.
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: It wasn't a significant amount to cause any problems.
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: How does that happen?
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: And now, a week before this school year starts, they
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: have a $ 12 million deficit. Are these people incompetent? I
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: don't understand.
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: I don't understand. How could you.
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: Not run a $ 75 million budget? I just don't get this.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you. I give you the honest answer.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: The only one that could probably explain that, and that's
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: a fair question that you ask. I only hope that Rich,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: a pharmacist, is listening and that he can explain it
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: or he can analyze it. I agree. I mean, he's
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: the only one I feel that could answer your question
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: and say, you're asking me how do you go from
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: a $ 75 million budget and say that you're going to
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: be $ 12 million in a hole, correct?
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: Ron, you know, these people in Boardman, they just better
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: start realizing there is levy after levy after levy after levy,
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: and they've got to learn to say no. If they
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: don't say no, okay, we're still going to be taxed
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: out of our homes.
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: If they.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: Say no, then that's going to make the school districts
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: do a 180, go to the state and say, listen,
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: these people are getting smart on us. They're voting no
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: on these levies. I just don't understand. I don't understand
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: how you can go from July of 2025 and say
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: we don't need $ 300, 000. and 12 months later say, you
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: know what, we got a $ 12 million deficit. These guys
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: are incompetent. I think they should be fired.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I tell you what, I put that out there to anyone,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: a rich pharmacist or anyone else, to try to analyze
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: or decipher that question. I would like to hear the answer.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: But I also agree with you. The answer isn't you
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: just got to keep on paying because people don't have
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: the money either.
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: This is just unbelievable.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: It's unbelievable.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: We've got a medium income of, what, $ 38, 000 in Boardman.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: They said we're an aging community, but yet they just
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: keep throwing these levies on us. I don't know where
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: they think we're going to come up with this money.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: I don't get it.
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: I just don't get it. I asked them at trustee meetings,
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: how do you think we're going to pay for this?
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: And none of them, I told you before, Ron, none
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: of them sitting up there This doesn't affect them.
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: They all own their own businesses.
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: They're attorneys and they're this and they're that. No, that's great.
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: Congratulations to them. They went to school and they made
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: themselves good. I don't have a problem with that. I
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: have a problem with the fact that they think we
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: can handle this and we can't. We just can't do it.
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: And I just don't know why they can't see that.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: What is blocking their vision here? You cannot come back
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: to the people year after year after year and ask
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: for more. They got this police fire.
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: Levy, okay?
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: They said this levy is going to be based on
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: just what we need to run the fire department and
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: the police department so we stay status quo. Then you
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: got the union rep from the fire department comes on
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: and says if this passes, we're going to hire five people.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: So what is it?
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: We're going to use it to hire people or we're
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: going to use it just to stay, you know, status quo?
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: I just don't get it over here in Boardman. Forty
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: years I've been putting up with this. Every year. Every
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: year they want more and more and more. And we're
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: an aging community, according to them. So how do we come.
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: Up with it?
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: I throw that out there to Rich. I throw it
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: out there to G2, Boss Lady, whoever wants to answer.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: Whoever has some type of an idea of what we need.
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: I know what we need to do.
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: We need to say no. But I think they should
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: fire the... superintendent, the treasurer, and the school board.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: But here's the rub, though. They put this stuff on
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: the ballot, and if people vote for it, that's what
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: you have to find troubling. For example, like I say,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: can you imagine the citizens in Canfield that they're facing
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: this gigantic school levy? And listen, just hear me out
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: for a second. I'll be the first to say, do
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: they need a new middle school? Absolutely. But Canfield is
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: discriminated against on how much money they get from the
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: state because it's considered a wealthy community. Forget the fact
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: that the residents pay money to the state. So percentage-wise,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: the state says, well, you're going to get a lot
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: less money. And stand by for me. Just hang on
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: a minute, all right? Coming back to him. And more
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: of your calls. Welcome to a Wednesday afternoon, September 2nd.

  Speaker 10: Certain restrictions apply.
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: Call for details.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: If you run up there and talk station 570 WKBN.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: All right, let me go back to your caller. So
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: you're talking about this. And I say this, listen, if
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: you live in a city of Canfield, can you imagine
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: that you're facing this monumental school levy? So here's how
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: it works in Ohio. You're a wealthier district. So you
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: get less money from the state. So if you need
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: a new school, you got to pay for 90% of
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: it in the state to give you 10% versus a
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: lot of other places where that's equations, a lot different
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: 50 to 50, sometimes 90 or 80, 20 state pay
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: and 80%. So you're punished because you're a, you're a, um,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: wealthier district. You get less of your state tax dollars
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: to build. So you've got to tax yourself more to
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: improve your school building, which is crazy. People in Canfield
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: can't afford it. They voted it down a number of times.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: I don't deny that they need a new middle school,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: but people are saying, I can't do this. It's a
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: huge levy. So they're facing that. And this ridiculous levy
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: from MRDD. And for whatever reason, it seems people always
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: vote for that. This is a crazy amount of money
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: they're asking for. It's just a crazy amount. Can you
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: imagine if, God forbid, one or both of these levies pass?
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Imagine if you're in a city, Canfield, and both of
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: these levies would pass in November. And I'll tell you something,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: I won't vote for the MRDD increase at all. It's insane.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: But I get the point that you're making, and I
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: don't think anyone represents the homeowner and the situation in
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: their home and what they're facing. And as I say,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: we're all getting poorer, and we simply can't afford this.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: And I'm with you 100%. I admire Denise out there
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: grabbing these signatures. It's because of someone like her that
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: things are happening. She is truly a terrific individual. And
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: the people who go, all I'm asking you to do
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: is go sign the damn thing.
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: Well, you know what, Ron?
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: If you live in a $ 300, 000, $ 350, 000 home, that doesn't.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Mean you're rich.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: No.
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: That doesn't mean, oh, I bought my house for $ 69, 000
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: back in 1981. telling me it's close to $ 300, 000 now.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: That doesn't make me rich.
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: No.
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: So I don't understand. Just because your house value is
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: way up, that doesn't mean that you can afford $ 6, 000
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: a half.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Let's be realistic. What if.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Like, for example, a housing market is declining in some areas,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: and it might very well be going here to where
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: prices are coming down. I cite Florida because those are
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: the ones I'm familiar with. So Florida home prices are
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: coming down. So let's say we tax you at $ 400, 000,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: but now you're selling your house and you can only
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: get $ 350, 000 or $ 325, 000. Well, you were overpaying on your
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: taxes because the market has shifted in the blink of
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: an eye. I mean, it's ridiculous.
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: And you know, I heard today, somebody told me, they said,
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: you know what your house is worth? They said, it's
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: worth whatever you sell it for.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Exactly.
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: Exactly. That hit me big time.
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: It's worth whatever you sell it for.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: It's not worth what they tell you it is. It's
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: not worth what some appraisers never walk through it or
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: anything like that says, well, we think it's worth this,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: and that's what we're taxing you on. It's not worth that.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: You are 100% correct. It's worth what you bought it for,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: and it's worth what the next person buys it for.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: And the market can change in the blink of an eye.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: So you're 100% right.
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: Thank you, Ron.
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: Keep being the voice for us.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: You got him, Tiger. You're on the air.
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: Hey there, good afternoon. How are you this afternoon?
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: I'm hanging in there. It's September 2nd. It's Wednesday. Hey,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: get a load of this. I get Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: and Monday off.
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: Well, God bless you, and you're still getting paid for it?
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I think I do.
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: Okay. A few conversations, one conversation ago, we had here
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: about last week, you said you were trying to figure
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: me out.
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: Well, yes, I, well.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: No, I just wanted to know more about you.
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 21:56
  Speaker 8: Let me put this to you. Born and raised in
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: the state of Wisconsin ever since fifth or sixth grade.
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: It was either in history or something about how the
• 22:05
  Speaker 8: great state of Wisconsin was the beginning of the Republican
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: Party and what the Republican Party stood for. They stood
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: for the people to help the people out. Well, I'm
• 22:18
  Speaker 8: looking at this and I'm seeing what is going on here.
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: They're not really helping the people out like they keep
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: claiming they do. But they don't. When Trump leaves, all
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: that medical stuff that he got lowered prices on were
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: lowered in the first place. But then on top of that,
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: when he leaves, that's gone. And we all take a look.
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: You keep saying.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Well, now pause for a second. You are correct in
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: the following sense. Just this no tax on tips. That's
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: only good for three years. No tax on overtime. Only
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: good for three years. The increased deduction on Social Security.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Only good for three years. They stand by for me.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: So just stand by. I want to come back to you.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: I am always trying to figure that guy out because
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I find him intriguing. Intriguing minds want to know. News

• 24:21
  Speaker 2: It's 335 in the afternoon. It's Wednesday, September 2nd. We're
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: sitting now at 94 degrees. And so now I just
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: try to get an understanding of you. Let me put
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: it this way to you when you talk like you're talking.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: You're right that a lot of this stuff is going
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: to sunset.
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: I am.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: I'm grateful for what– anytime I'm grateful for a break
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: on taxes or whatever for whatever period of time it is.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: I'm grateful for it. I wish it would be longer.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Let me put it that way. And I hope it
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: would be longer. But when you say that, I can
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: only tell you this from my perspective. Trump has done
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: a lot for me during his tenure as president. I mean,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: do you understand how frustrating it was for me to
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: see millions of people come into my country illegally that
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: we know nothing about flooding into this country, tying up
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: our hospitals, our resources and our tax dollars that we
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: were running out entire hotels. We were flying them to
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: different communities in the middle of the night. It was
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: almost like a covert invasion of our country illegally. And
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: the president wasn't enforcing the law or the border. And
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: he was looking the other way for this stuff to happen.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: And it's cost us billions and billions and billions of
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: dollars and continues to cost us because of this. his
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: liberal agenda on the border. So Trump stopped that. Trump
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: secured the border without passing anything. He simply, the whole
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: attitude at the border and the attitude with the border patrol,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: he secured the border so we don't have this invasion
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: taking place. That's number one. So right off the bat,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: he deported a number of people out of the country.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Not nearly enough, as he said, because I think if
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: you coming here is not a right, it's a privilege.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: And I think that if you came here illegally, you
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: should have to go. And they claim two million people
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: deported themselves. I don't know how you know that number.
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: And.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: They also say that they got a bunch of them out,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: but not nearly enough. So he's done better than previous administrations,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: but not nearly enough on getting people that came into
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: our country illegally. He's changed the energy policies. I mean,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: this idea that– I say it all the time, this
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: hatred that the Democrats have for fossil fuels– It's crazy.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: We are a fossil fuel economy, just as the rest
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: of the world is. And like I say, to say
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: we're going to drill offshore, we're going to drill on
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: our federal resources, is a good idea because we need
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: that energy. We need that natural gas. And drill, baby, drill.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: The prices of my energy should come down because of
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: supply and demand. So I commend him for changing the
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: energy policy. I commend him for... What else is I
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: going to tell you? I commend him for supporting the
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: police and law enforcement as opposed to this idea that
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: cops are bad and all this kind of stuff. I
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: commend him for saying we're going to hire on merits
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: not based on your skin color or your sexuality. I
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: commend him on changing this crazy sexual agenda that they
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: had going on all the damn time. So he's done
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: a lot of stuff. that I do agree with. And
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: obviously I disagree with him on the war. But in general,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: he's done a lot of stuff that does benefit me,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: that the Trump agenda has benefited me. When you talk
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: about the Republicans, when you're growing up, the Republicans, and
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: remember I was around, was considered an elite country club group.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: of people. They represented big business. And the Democrats represent
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: the working man. The Republican Party changed because of Trump.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: And the Democratic Party abandoned regular people and went to
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: become the party of the oddballs and the weird stuff
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: that you're seeing go on right now. So these parties
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: have changed dramatically. But simply as an American, I sit back.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: I can't say that this guy hasn't done a lot
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: that has benefited this country and benefited me. The Trump
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: tax cuts, which which he put into the brackets, have
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: benefited me for all the years since term one. So
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: the small business things, every small business guy can deduct
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: a truck. They don't have to do it over a
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: series of years. They can deduct it right off the
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: bat so that you can go buy a piece of
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: equipment or something you need and take it as a
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: tax deduction. Stuff like that, I think, is huge, what
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: he did. Go ahead.
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: Biden's administration had their hands tied. Trump and his first
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: administration moved tax breaks and things of that nature, and
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: he put a time span on it, which was better
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: than two-thirds. It was still being used two-thirds of the
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: way in Biden's administration. My question to you is, let's
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: just take these tax breaks. Let's think about it a
• 29:35
  Speaker 8: little bit different, just a tad bit different. What is
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: a bad loan and what is a good loan? And
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: my emphasis is, how is it that they can give
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: tax breaks, and they gave us tax breaks, but compared
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: to all the rich people, And the corporations, their tax
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: breaks were so much more larger. If I were to
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: come and say, I'm your boss, and I'm telling tomorrow,
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: you are taking a 25% pay cut. Your wife works.
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: So the hospital comes in and says, you're taking a 25%
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: pay cut. Now, that's really going to make a big
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: mess in your household on your expenses. Because it didn't
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: help you. The difference in having your house re-roofed because
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: they've been on there for 25 years. Oh, well, hell
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: with that. I'll let that go. I'm going to just
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: go ahead and I'm going to buy me a brand
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: new Cadillac. Well, what makes more sense? Keep the value
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: of your house up by having a new roof. Who
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: determines the value of your house? That gentleman that just
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: called here, he lives where? Again, was it said Canfield? Canfield.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: He lives in Boardman. He said, who determines the value
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: of your house? Your house is only worth what somebody's
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: willing to buy it for. It's not what somebody says
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: they think it's worth. And he's right about that.
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: He's absolutely correct. I don't understand it. It used to
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: be when you went to buy a house, I know
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: my first two homes, you actually talked back and forth
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: with the people you were buying from. Now that don't happen.
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: They come in and they say the house is worth
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: this much. And they're going to go for it. Well,
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: when the house goes up in price, so does the taxes.
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: And that hurts because that's not fair. The bank doesn't
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: care as long as you sign your John Henry on
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: there and you're willing to pay that price. Only because
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: the realtors get a cut of that money. So they're
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: running around in Cadillacs while you're out there just trying
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: to keep your Ford running.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about that. First of all, realtors
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: go to work. I mean, realtors market your house to
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: sell your house. And you can always put your house
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: up for sale without a realtor, but you're going to
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: be a lot more successful if you use a realtor
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: and find out what your house is really worth and
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: have somebody that knows how to market it and get
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: it on the MLS listings and things like that so
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: that you're able to sell your house perhaps quicker than
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: if you try doing it on your own. Right.
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry. My first house, we bought it. It was 1.5%
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: of what we were going to buy the house for. Now,
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: you're sitting at 5%, 7% of what the house, that
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: goes just to the realtor, period. And they're not selling
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: one house a year. They're selling, I don't know, 10, 15,
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: if they're capable of more.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Some of that commission stuff has changed. They've done some
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: changes as far as the commissions and the negotiations on
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: the commission. I mean, those changes happened, what, about two
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: years ago? But they do get a percentage because that's
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: how they make their living.
• 33:13
  Speaker 12: Correct.
• 33:14
  Speaker 8: I understand that.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Right, just like the guy selling you your car is
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: paid on commission.
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: I understand that, too. But, you see, what I'm getting
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: at here is, This whole thing is totally out of whack. Maybe,
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: maybe I'm just dreaming. Maybe my utopian idea that the
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: government works for the people. You're asking about taking away
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: a tax here in the state of Ohio. Well, DeSantis
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: did that. And now there's communities all over the state
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: are saying, how can we support our police department, our
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: fire departments, and our schools... when we're not going to
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: be able to absorb the money just to take for
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: the contracts we have now.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. DeSantis isn't having those problems in Florida.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: You mentioned DeSantis. What issue is he having?
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: As a matter of fact, DeSantis is having issues where districts, cities, towns,
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: counties are saying, you're going to cut our money back.
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: We can't run with that kind of money. We can't
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: hardly do anything.
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, no.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: DeSantis is saying, as far as getting rid of property taxes,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: he's saying when you take a look at the appraisals,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: that some of these communities would double their budgets in
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: less than six or seven years. And they don't need
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: that much money.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: How are they doubling it?
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: If you're taking money away that they would normally get
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: from the state, where are they going to get this
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: extra money? Just like here in the state of Ohio.
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: What bothers me is, just like with Trump's tariffs, they
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: don't tell you what they're going to work on to
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: make it better for you. They don't.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Well, like I say, tariffs are, everyone's against tariffs if
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: they're buying something and it's cheap. But they're for tariffs
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: if it protects their job from being taken away from them.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: And let me tell you what I see a lot.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: I see a lot of jobs, whether it's white-collar jobs
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: that are going to India. They're done remotely in India
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: for substantially, substantially less money than it can be done
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: here in the United States. So we would also see
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: blue-collar jobs that would go to Mexico. They'd move the
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: company to Mexico, China. Or Vietnam, where they have dirt
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: floors and they don't have all these rules. And so
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: they could build the product for substantially less than you
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: could in the United States. What I've noticed over the
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: years is people were for tariffs when it was about
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: them losing their job. They weren't for tariffs when it
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: meant about their neighbor losing their job. Listen, I want
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: an even playing field when it comes to tariffs. I
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: want to even playing field that says that acknowledges we
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: can't compete with dirt floors, childhood labor with with a
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: lack of there's no ocean unemployment and Social Security and
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: health care in Vietnam when you're working there or in
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: China or in India in these places. So you can't
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: compete against it. So your tariff is going to be
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: the difference in our standards that we have to be
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: able to function as a business in this country. And
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: I think that's the only way you're going to keep
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: jobs in this country. Otherwise, you're going to say, well, boy,
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: I can buy stuff really cheap, but I don't have
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: a job. I can buy stuff really cheap, but there's
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: not a lot of opportunities for my kids. It's what
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: everyone's concerned about with AI replacing so many people and
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: so many jobs.
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: Well, I totally understand what you're saying.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: So tariffs aren't always a bad thing like people want
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: to make them out to be. You've got to level
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: the playing field to be able to keep manufacturing and
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: also more than manufacturing now in the United States of America.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: If you don't, you'll be out of work. I mean,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: it's just out of work, and AI is going to
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: put a lot of people– uh... uh... out of work
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: i mean i'm i'm telling you uh.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: We shall see all right my friend i got a
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: break i got a pause all right i appreciate it
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: let me squeeze another one and you're on the air.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: Hey how you doing kind of wanted to go back
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: to yesterday's show i was on hold for a while
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: and i was listening to boss lady and i believe
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: there's a gentleman after that talked about his food kind
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: of want to go back to the uh... clancy trial
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: yes sir a couple thoughts to see what your what
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: your take is on it so one With what Boss
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: Lady said yesterday, and I kind of agree with her
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: on the system failing her from an aspect of drugs.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: I'm kind of an anti-doctor, but I've called in a
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: few times and talked about food and how much it
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: affects even brain inflammation, and that's kind of what the
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: other guy was talking about since he kind of got
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: sugar out of his way, how inflammation goes down. And
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: that's not only from a healing aspect with your body,
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: but also mentally.
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: so with that with those two points just cut touching
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: back on what they said one of the other thing
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: that i don't know if it's out there i haven't
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: really heard anything was there any other social media uh...
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: of viewpoints of of quite of hers you know that
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: what she uh... a liberal when it comes to supporting
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: abortion the reason why i brought the upright i bring
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: that up is because you know the liberal dot there
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: that when i keep pushing the abortion envelope uh... to
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: where it's almost like you know as long as that
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: kid living under your roof they think you should kill
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: it they think you have not that you should but
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: you have the right to.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Okay with all due respect this is not an abortion
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: debate on this uh.
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: on this at all no no i was just sort
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: of making the comment i'm not saying it's an abortion
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: debate what i'm at what i'm saying is is look
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: at california they want to be able to make it
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: to where you know or maybe they even have you
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: know up to the time of birth you could abort
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: that child what i'm trying to connect is the viewpoint
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: of the thought.
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: Of her?
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: Has it been brought up? What was she on social media?
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know that.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's really a stretch of what you're trying
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: to do. It's the case of if you followed it,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: you just have to follow her mental state and seeking
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: help and this post... I don't want to say pardon
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: the depression, but the.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: The issues that she was having and the medication that
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: she was on. I agree with that.
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: I believe doctors... are basically drug dealers at any level,
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: for the most part. If they're not fixing your heart,
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: you know, fixing your broken bone, if you just go
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: in and see them and, you know, whatever, I'm overweight, here,
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: take this pill, I.
• 39:42
  Speaker 12: Have blood pressure, I'll take this pill.
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: They never fix the root problem, which always comes back to.
• 39:47
  Speaker 7: Well, sometimes you can't fix it.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Sometimes the person doesn't fix the root problem.
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: I mean.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: I can appreciate you saying that, but sometimes these pills
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: that you talk about are beneficial to you as well.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, sometimes.
• 40:02
  Speaker 9: I'm not disagreeing with that, but my point is that
• 40:05
  Speaker 9: the doctor never says, hey, maybe you should stop taking
• 40:08
  Speaker 9: in 500 carbohydrates a day, or hey, maybe you should
• 40:11
  Speaker 9: stop taking in the bag of chips that are cooked.
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: With seed oils.
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? They don't ever say that.
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: They just take this pill.
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: So that's, I just, you know.
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: That was my only comment with that as far as
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: the court goes. My other thing is, being that you're
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: talking a little bit about taxes today.
• 40:29
  Speaker 7: So I live out in a rural district.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: It never really dawned on me until somebody said something
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: to me the other day, and I kind of want
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: to get your viewpoint on it. And I hope I
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: don't come off like I'm asked, like I know what
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about when it comes to... In the smaller districts,
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: the comment was made that a lot of Amish are
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: coming out. Do they pay the same amount of taxes,
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: whether it be for home or land, as every other
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: resident in Ohio does?
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Do you know? I don't know. I would imagine if
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: they have a residence in farmlands, I would imagine that
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: they would pay.
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: I don't know, and I'm not accusing, but it was
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: brought up that they don't. So what that leads into
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: in rural communities is, And it goes into these school fundings.
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: The more they, I guess you'd say, stretch out into
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: these communities and buy up houses, you see a lot
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: of these schools are getting underfunded because they don't.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Go to public schools. Stand by a minute. I'll be
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: right back. All right. So first it says, yes, obvious
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: people in Ohio do pay property taxes on the land
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: and homes they own, just like anybody else.
• 41:36
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 41:36
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm the first guy to tell you I
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: love the Amish. I think the Amish are great people.
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: I got a personal problem with them. I wasn't trying
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: to attack them personally. It was a question that I really,
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: you know, when a discussion came up, that was what
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: was brought up. And the other thing was is eroding,
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: for instance, the school that I'm talking about. I actually
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: went to that school the year I graduated. So, which
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: is a small school anyway. But I found out that
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: last year's graduating class was 28th. And, you know, it
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: was a discussion amongst people. And, you know, as you
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: get people that buy houses in this particular area or
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: areas around it even, that they're not sending their kids
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: to those schools. Those kids don't go play sports for
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: that school. So you are eroding that, what's the word,
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: you know, first of all, the houses are bought, you know,
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: the bought. So you're losing those kids in those schools,
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: and eventually it's going to lead to, which I think
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: we're probably heading there anyway, is consolidation of schools. Because
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: it's not just one district. You get some of these
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: rural districts, and they are.
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: For whatever reason, getting smaller.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: And you should have consolidation if they're that small because
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: it's just ridiculous to have such individual school districts at
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: that size. Consolidation is probably a good thing when it
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: comes to schools in a scenario you're given and in
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: many other scenarios.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: That was all my only comment.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, thank you. You're on the air.
• 43:16
  Speaker 12: The caller from Boardman says, you know, wouldn't they expect
• 43:19
  Speaker 12: us to vote for this? They expect us to vote
• 43:21
  Speaker 12: for this? Of course they do. Just like all the sheep,
• 43:25
  Speaker 12: our good friend Michael Slank would say, sheep and rectums
• 43:28
  Speaker 12: voted for the Mill Creek Park levy, the WRTA, and
• 43:33
  Speaker 12: the library. They just, people, oh, I'm going to vote
• 43:36
  Speaker 12: yes for that. I know people that haven't left their
• 43:39
  Speaker 12: house because they're an invalid, and I don't know how
• 43:41
  Speaker 12: many years, and they voted for the library.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: They don't think bottom line, what's this going to cost
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: me down the line?
• 43:51
  Speaker 12: I'm getting older. I want to retire. I'm going to
• 43:55
  Speaker 12: have less money coming in, and I'm not factoring in
• 43:59
  Speaker 12: all these.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: They don't think that. They don't even know how much
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: money is coming in and how it's being spent. I
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: will say it for the millionth time, and I'll make
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: it loud. I say it loud, clear, and proud. The
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: library has more money coming in than it knows what
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: to do with. The biggest problem at the library is
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: figuring out how to spend all of this money. Look
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: at all the people that they've hired from an administrative standpoint. Okay. Well,
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not done. All three of them.
• 44:27
  Speaker 7: The WRTA, the warehouse down there, a garage or something.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: The fools of this community voted a forever sales tax
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: for WRTA of a quarter percent. So every year WRTA
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: takes in between nine and 11 million. It's, it could
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: be more based on the economy and, And they take
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: that in every year. So WDRT has got to figure out,
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: how do we spend all this money that's coming in
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: every year? Let's bust this. Let's break this bus garage
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: down and build a new one. Standby. Standby.
• 44:55
  Speaker 8: Standby.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: I'll come back to him with more. Hour two, straight ahead.
• 45:00
