• 0:40
  Speaker 2: what awaits me. You're on the air.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Ron, I don't want to see any more rain or thunderstorms.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: It has knocked my phone out for five days, and
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: I can't even. I had to go up and get one.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: My friend got me one, but it's been terrible.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Well, I got news for you. I got news for you.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: We had some dark skies and some rain in our area.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: So if you don't want to see anymore, they're not
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: listening to you.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: They're not.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: But, you know, I need a phone. My friend bought
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: me a cell phone, but they're going to try to
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: come tomorrow. There was a lot of power outages down here.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: But should we worry about the Guardians?
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: You want the short answer?
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: You think you've got the bases loaded and you can't
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: score runs two times?
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, well, you're asking me should we worry about them.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: What do you think? Absolutely we should worry about them.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: It seems to me to be a trend. We see
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: them doing excellent usually the first half of the season
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: until the break. And then in the second half of
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: the season, something just happens where they lose their mojo.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: They just lose their mojo. Well, I'll be– There's cause
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: for concern. Thank you, Dick from Dayton. You're on the air.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: Hey, what do you think about the Guardian?
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Wait.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: That was Dick from Dayton.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry. Wrong line. It's the Rockies.
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: Go ahead.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: What do you think about this? I don't know if
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: he's a BSA member, but he's an Islamist winning the
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: primary in Michigan. I mean, where did he go? You know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: it was over on Mondami. Where did he go? The
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: other one.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: What do you think?
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I think it's insane. I think what's what's happening with
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I honestly think what's happening with the Democrat Party and
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: in this, I don't even want to describe the people
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: that are winning these primaries other than it's deeply disturbing
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: to me. I mean, it's deeply disturbing to me the
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: caliber and quality of the people that you're seeing here.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: It's deeply disturbing to me. I think they hate capitalism.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I just, what are your thoughts?
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Are your parents Democrats?
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: When my parents were Democrats, when the Democrat Party was
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the party of working people and it wasn't the party
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: it is today. As I say to people, the Democrat
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Party has changed tremendously. They wouldn't be. I don't think
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: they'd be Democrats today. And the Republican Party has changed.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: The Republican Party always used to be the party of
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the elites and the business people and not so much
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: the working person. Well, now I think these parties have switched.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Don't you? I think the Republican Party now is viewed
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: as a party of America first and the productive people
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: of society. And a Democrat Party is a party of
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the oddballs and weirdos and freeloaders.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: When I was a little kid, John F. Kennedy, middle school,
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: my teacher said, social studies... If this Ronald Reagan, who
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: before was elected, if this Ronald Reagan gets in, we're
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: going to have World War III, right? And, A, we've
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: heard that a bunch of times since then, you know,
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: whether it was Bush, who I don't care for either
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: of them. But you heard the same thing with Trump.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: He's going to start World War III. Okay, well, it
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: hasn't happened yet. It was, I don't know, 1980 when
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: the teacher said, you've got to tell your parents.
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: You left the tree from hell. I'm not telling them anything.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: You're right, we've changed. And I really... and it was
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: hoping and now it's more praying that more Democrats see
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: this isn't what it was. This isn't Daniel Patrick Moynihan.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: This isn't all the people that you supported all this
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: time that supported you. Now, guess what? If you're white,
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: If you ain't an Islamist, if you ain't an illegal,
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: they don't like you.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: And they'll tell you.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: The beauty is, the beauty is, they'll say it all
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: day long. I want to abolish ICE. I want to
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: abolish prisons. I want to abolish the Senate. I want
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: to abolish. And people who they say, no, he's just
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: a moderate, Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania. Well, anybody, get your
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Google machine out and look up him just saying in
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: the last two weeks, Yeah, you've got to think about
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: these things. These things are on the table. Expanding the court,
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: getting rid of the electoral college. This is your regulation Democrat.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: At least that's what they purport to be. But they
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: have to go, even if they were just a regular guy,
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: they have to bend over backwards and go with the leftists.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: And our country isn't built for that. It's not going
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: to work.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: And... Wow.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: I am a little concerned for our country.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I think you should be concerned for your country. I
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: think there's plenty to be concerned about. But, I mean,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I look at all of these races that are going on,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: and I am shocked as an older American. I can't
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: believe what I'm seeing. I can't believe... What do they
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: call them, Democrats, socialists? I just can't believe people are
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: buying into that or electing people that say some of
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: the things that they say about our holidays. And I
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: agree with you. It seems like they're just a pack
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: of damn weirdos.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: People openly saying we deserve 9-11. Yeah. It's not going
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: to work like that. And these little enclaves, and they're
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: getting bigger and bigger. Look, 40 years ago in Michigan,
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: would you ever think there'd be a bunch of mosques
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: that called to prayer at 5 a.m.? No.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Nope.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: Now, they're the majority in Pamtramic. They're the majority in Dearborn.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: They're telling you.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Get out.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: You're not welcome here.
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: I can't believe it. This can't go on in our country.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: I mean, I love Rand Paul most of the time.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: All I'm saying is, guys, can we look at this?
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: Because we can't let the Constitution let America be over.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: Because guess what? If these Islamists get in everywhere, it
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: will be over. And they're not fighting fair. They're not,
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: you know, following the rules. Just look at Ilhan Omar
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: and the other ones. It's a bad time. And, wow,
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: after waking up this morning and hearing the election results,
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: and it's not a Congress seat. It's a Senate seat, right?
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: There's only 100 of them. And if you have one
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: who's a radical Islamist, That doesn't bode well for the
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: future of our country.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I just find it very strange. Actually, I'm glad that
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: you brought it up. I find the comments about September
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: 11th or the negative comments that they make about this
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: great country of ours, I mean, is it perfect?
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: No.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: But the things that they're saying and their economic philosophies,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I find deeply disturbing, and yet they win. And I
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: sit back and say, okay... What's going on here? And
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: why would you vote for that? Why would you think
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: that that is the answer? And I'm not into the
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Trump name-calling of these people. I'm into saying, why are
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: people voting for him? We better try to understand what
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: motivates people to vote for him. And I think part
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: of that is the economy is leaving a lot of
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: people behind, whether you're low class or middle class or
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: wherever you might fall, because of the cost of everything
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: and inflation. I think we better address those problems, because
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I said it before, I'll say it to you again,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: hungry bellies are... revolution start on hungry bellies. That's what happens.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: There's so many dumb things that we do. I mean,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I'll say it to you, and I know you and
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I differ about the situation in Iran, but we sit
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: here and we think, well, they should think like we do. Well,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: they do not. They weren't raised like you. They don't
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: think like you. They don't have the same religion as you.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: They don't have the same beliefs as you. And that's
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the reality. You're viewing them from your perspective. Well, they
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: don't care much for you. I mean, they kind of
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: hate you. And this idea that these people are going
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: to revolt and side with America. Well, they probably aren't.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: If you are in Iran and that's your country and
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: some other countries bombing the hell out of your home
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: and your neighborhood and that kind of stuff, you're probably
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: not going to be too supportive of that country. You're
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: probably going to side more with your countrymen because you
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: because you're under attack. Just human nature.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: And we've got to try to get the people who
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: were regular Democrats, their parents or grandparents were regular Democrats,
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: to see, hey, this is a pathway to freedom, and
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: this is a pathway to, and it doesn't even have
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: to be Islamist dictatorship, but dictatorship. Look what the sheeple
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: did under the China virus. Lock it down. Close your schools.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: Can't go to church. You know what? We can't. We
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: had a lesson right there just a couple years ago
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: that this isn't the way to go. And we're seeing,
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, it's a long way to November.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: This is just the primaries, blah, blah, blah. And hopefully
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: common sense will prevail. But we've got to do the
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: Charlie Kirk thing. I think you're right. and talk to
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: the people and understand why the hell are you thinking
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: this craziness. I know you keep saying, well, it was
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: never tried like this before. Communism, socialism was never tried
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: like this before. Guess what? It's never worked. It's not
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: going to work. And it always ends with the point
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: of a gun.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I sit back here and I get the
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: frustration because I look at our local political leaders and
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I think they're making the problem worse. I don't think
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: they're making it better. I think they're making everything worse.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: And I sincerely think they're out of touch and they
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: don't understand the damage that they're doing. So that's, I mean,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I just look at, I look at what's going on,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: and I'm not optimistic.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: And, right, I know he's the guy. I know he's your,
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: I don't know, whatever, but, and it says, let not
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: your heart be troubled.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: It's supposed to be.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: But we have to do like, what's that lady's name, Denise?
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: Get out there and fight. You've got to do it.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Fight for what you want. There's a woman that's devoting
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: so much of her free time. You make a lot
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: of noise here. She's devoting so much of her free
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: time to go out and gather signatures to say, listen,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: all I want is to put a constitutional amendment on
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: the ballot for you to vote to eliminate property taxes.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: And I'm here to say to all of you, I
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: hope she's successful and I hope it passes. Because if
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: it doesn't, they will price all of you out of
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: your house. Every single one of you will be priced
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: out of your house. You just don't get it yet
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: because it continues to happen. And it's not just going
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: to be the elderly and we'll all be elderly one day. Well,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I already am. But you'll be elderly one day and
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: you will see. You will see the monster that you created.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just I am not put on this earth.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not here. Don't make your problems my problems. I'm
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: not here to pay for or to solve all of
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: your problems. Some of them you got to own. There's
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: individual responsibility. that we should have in this country. We
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: can't say it's always up to the taxpayer. It's not
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: my problem if you drop out of high school. It's
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: not my problem if you decide to get hooked on drugs.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: It's not my problem if you decide to have five
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: kids out of wedlock. These are decisions you made. And
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: you've got to suffer the consequences or deal with the
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: consequences of those, not me. I mean, and we've got
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: a society of people who think that should be everybody
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: else's bill to help all these people or pay for
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: this kind of stuff. There are consequences to the decisions
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: you make. You increase your odds of having a heart
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: attack and lung cancer. That's a reality. If you smoke marijuana, yes,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: it's legal. There's also consequences to that because in the
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: whole scope of things, it's really not a healthy thing
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: to do. Just some stuff. Thank you, Jake. Appreciate it.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Appreciate the call. It's a lot to think about. But
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: it's why I spend so much time on it. And
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: it's just... As I say, so much just is disturbing
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: to me. I mean, it's disturbing to me that you
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: have like a library system that totally is ignoring the
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: citizens of Poland. The taxpayers, the people that live with
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: the library, the people that like that facility, and they're
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: just totally, well, pay your taxes, sit down, shut up,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: we'll tell you what we're going to do. It's that
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: arrogance that annoys me. And I said, arrogance had come
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: from the county commissioners. We're going to do this project,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: the Eastern Gateway project. And you didn't have a say
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: so on it, but you'll get stuck with the bonds.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Long after these people are out of office and somebody
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: else is in office, you get stuck with that decision.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: You get stuck with the bonds in that lousy location,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: lousy idea. But you get the bill for it. So
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know how much more they expect any of
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: you to be able, how much more money they can
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: take from you. I was just telling Joe Kovach earlier today,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I got my highest electric bill I can ever recall
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: in my life. Just got my electric bill. It was $ 300.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Now that's just where electric is for, I'm thinking, well,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: that's obvious because it was hot. And yes, contrary to
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: John Kerry and the people in France, we ran our
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: air conditioning at 72. And I do have vent fans
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: in the attic that, you know, draw the hot air out.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: There's a couple of those that are running pretty heavily
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: during that time. But $ 300 on something that last year
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: was $ 150. I'll be right back.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Mike Rowe here with a random and talk station, 570 WKBN.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Back to it. Ron Verb, and you're on air.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Hey, Ronald.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: You answered your own question on what the problem is.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: The party that people have to work in is the
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: reason they don't want the Republican Party. And they would
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: vote for a chair if that's running for office. They
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: sit in school every day and listen to how bad
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: America is. You should be getting this. You should be
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: getting that. And then there's programs that they can get that,
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: can get that. They don't care what's happening there. They're
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: not going to vote any other way. But we have
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: only so many people to sway off that fence in
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: these elections. It's as simple as that.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Well, there's many people that are disappointed in the Republican
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Party that are Republicans, saying, okay, where is the America?
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: I agree with you.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Where is the America first? I mean, there's plenty of
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Republicans that we should have safe and secure elections. They're
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: not doing enough there to get that passed.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: They're not getting enough people out of this country that
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: came here illegally. It seems like that's been derailed to
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: a large extent. There's this whole war in Iran situation
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: is just a mess. And the country or the constituents
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: of the country were never really had a say so
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: on this at all. And it just continues on. And
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: we see gas now today in my neck of the
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: woods now at 411 a gallon. And as we continue
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: to run out of oil, a serious situation. So many
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: people are saying the Republican Party doesn't do a good
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: job representing them, nor the Democratic Party. And they're very discouraged.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: And justly so. Well, your country is $ 40- plus trillion in
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: debt and growing.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: And so when they start promising even crazy things, that's
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: what they're going to lean to. Because they're upset. Hey, look,
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: if you're a kid, you're working 20 hours a week,
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: how in the heck are you driving a car with
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: this gas price?
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Exactly.
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: It's there. So people that have a lot of money
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: that pretend it's not there, it's there for people, and
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: it's a serious thing for these people.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: I think inflation and the price of everything is a
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: serious thing for everybody, and it needs to be addressed.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: And that's why people are saying, I'm working hard, but
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not making it. There's got to be a different
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: way or a better way, because this way isn't going
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: to cut it. And that's why they probably vote that way.
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: And that's why your electric bill was high. Mine's crazy,
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: and I live like an Amish person. I couldn't turn
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: off more stuff than I turn off, and it's still crazy.
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: So think about some young guy trying to make it work.
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: He's got that. He's got gasoline prices. He's got gas prices.
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: He's got food prices. So what are you going to do?
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: You get on the system.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: It's easier.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Probably so.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Probably so.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: And that's a bad thing, but that is what's ruling
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: these elect... I mean, they don't care who's running.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: They really don't.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: Hey, what are you promising me? Free school, free..
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Yep, that's it. Right.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Hey, forgive your student loan debt, like Biden said.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but you see how many people bought that? Where's
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: it coming from?
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: They don't care.
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: They don't... And they're in college, and they haven't looked
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: up the socialism. It has never worked. That doesn't matter.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: Somehow it's going to work now.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: It's a house of cards, and it's going to fall.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, listen.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: But you better fix the current system because the gap
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: is getting too wide. You better fix what's going on.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: And you're going to have to do something about inflation
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: and affordability. These are real problems.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: And if you don't.
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: Want an ID at a voting booth, you want to cheat.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: There is no other possible way. way that that's a problem.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't want to sound like I'm
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: bragging because I probably but you know what I did?
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I flew on a jet airplane. That's right. I was
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: on a jet airplane. I know you probably have never
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: experienced something like that.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: I've seen them in the sky, though.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, I was actually a passenger on a jet airplane.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: And when I went through this boarding process, I had
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: to show them my driver's license. I had to show
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: them my ID to even get on this jet airplane.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: You were disenchanted for flying again then, weren't you?
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: No, I said, this is racist. That's what I said
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: to the guy. This is absolutely racist, and I shouldn't
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: have to show you an ID. And the guy said,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: you stand over there. We're going to pat your ass down.
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: Did you know I got in trouble for saying, they're
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: patting down this lady who's like 75 years old. And
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: I go, I think I could kind of guess who
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: you might want to pat down. And boy, did that
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: cost me.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: They came over to me like I was getting ready
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: to get thrown in the clink.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I probably would have done a cavity
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: search if it was necessary on a character like you.
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: Believe me, I've had some issues where they didn't trust
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: me with a good tan and gel back hair.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: There you go. All right, Tiger. Have a good day.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: News Radio 570. But you got to figure out what's
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: going on, why so many people are voting this way.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: You can't ignore it. The problem with Trump is he
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: just name calls these people. They're this, they're that and everything. No,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: we better figure out. Too many people are working too
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: hard and they're being left behind because of this inflation.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: You're working hard. You can't afford a house. You can't
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: afford a new vehicle. You're having a tough time making it.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: I'll get into more of this and take more of
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: your calls straight ahead, 330-729-9977.

  Speaker 1: News Radio 570, WKBN. A Stark.
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: County woman has died following a collision with a commercial
• 21:47
  Speaker 8: vehicle Tuesday morning. 24-year-old Veronica Winland of Navarre was riding
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: an e-bike when she was hit just after 10 a.m.
• 21:54
  Speaker 8: The highway patrol says Winland failed to yield at a
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: stoplight and hit a trailer being hauled by the other vehicle.
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: A man is dead in Montgomery County following a shooting
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: early this morning. At around 2.15, Sheriff's Office deputies responded
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: to Fairport Avenue in Harrison Township on a report of
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: a burglary. When they arrived, the deputies found the victim
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: with a gunshot wound. He died at the scene. The
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: Buckeyes are sitting in the top spot of the preseason

  Speaker 8: coaches poll. Ohio State is listed as the number one
• 22:22

  Speaker 2: A to Z dependable services. Now, Ron Verb. On NewsRadio 570, WKBN.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Back to it. News Radio 570 WKBN 334 here in
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: the afternoon on a Wednesday, August 5th. Not that far
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: into Canfield Fairby here. Something to look forward to in August.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: The Canfield Fair. Here's my hope. I'm hoping that it's
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: not going to be like really hot when it's fair time.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping it'll be comfortable weather. Do you remember the
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: year that the fair was on and it was like
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: really hot and humid, 90-degree days during Canfield Fair, and
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: they had low attendance because no one wanted to go
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: out there? There's certainly not the volume of people wanting
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: to go out there when it was that hot and
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: that humid and walk on the pavement, that kind of stuff.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: I can't recall what year that was, but I know
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: it happened one of these years. They all blend together anymore.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: But I'm hoping for more comfortable weather again this year
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: so that you can go out and enjoy the fair.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: So fair time is not that far away. Then once
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: the fair is done, then you really notice how the
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: days are getting shorter. Then you boom. When the fair
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: is over, it seems like there's a switch and kids
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: are back in school. The days get shorter and it's
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: just it's depressing. It's what it is. All right. You're
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: on the air.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Hello.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Hello?
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Ron. So, do you remember back when they started
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: a petition for property taxes?
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: And our commissioners were all up in arms.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: They had no idea what to do. What are we
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: going to do? What are we going to do?
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: These people don't want to think outside the box. They
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: want to collect a paycheck and don't do anything to
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: help the people of this community.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: None of them. Yes. Okay.
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: So what I think we should do as the middle class, because,
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: of course, the lower class don't work and the upper
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: class got more money than they know what to do with.
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: The middle class is the one who suffers the most, correct?
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: I like your analysis. Yeah. I think everyone's suffering now
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: except your high income. I think most people are suffering.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: But go ahead.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: But correct. So, and all our money is going everywhere.
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: The fraud, geez, what else? You know, the way our
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: money is being distributed to taxpayers is totally gross and unjust,
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: for the most part.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: How much of it is wasted?
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: Well, true, the waste, the fraud, the Medicare fraud, the
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: daycare fraud.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Yep. everything.
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: You know, it's totally ridiculous. So as taxpayers, the middle
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: class ought to all band together and say.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: Screw you.
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: We're going to go tax exempt and not pay any taxes.
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: What are we going to do? Turn the whole middle
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: class in jail?
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: But it'll never happen because we're too afraid to do that.
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: Well, that's the other problem. People don't have, how I say, the...
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: What's the proper word for the radio?
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: Balls?
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: They don't have the balls?
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: I just didn't want to say it'd get in any trouble.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: That's all right. I covered it for you. I covered
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: it for you. But listen, let me back up a bit.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I know I've got to pay taxes, and you do too.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: I know I need a guy to plow my roads
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: when it's wintertime and salt them. I know I need
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: a cop if I got to make a call to
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: the police or a fireman or an ambulance. I know
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: I need services that government has. I know we got
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: to have a county jail to put the bums in
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: that the cops arrest in a court system and all
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: this kind of stuff. So I know what my needs
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: are as far as my community is concerned. So I'm
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: not opposed to funding that and paying for that kind
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: of stuff. It's just all this other crap that they
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: expect me to pay for that's either on my property
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: taxes or they spend my money on. It's all this
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: other stuff. They want to make everybody else's problems my problems.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: And it's the library system and how... How much money
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: is being just spent foolishly by them and the arrogance
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: of the library system and not fixing the building for
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: the people of Poland Township. And there's a shining example
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: of what I think are wasted tax dollars. All these
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: people that were hired that are not necessary, that are
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: paper pushers, basically.
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: Well, absolutely. And I'm agreeing with you 100 percent. We
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: need our fire. We need our police. You know, but
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: of course, if it's up to New York and the
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: Democrats up in Michigan, they'll go away with the police.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Don't they?
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. If it's up to the Democrats, yes.
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: Unfortunately, it's true. And the way that our country is going,
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: what do you do?
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: The way they..
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: Why do we have to keep sending all this money
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: to all these other countries?
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: I'm totally opposed to it.
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: It is unnecessary.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: You know, for years, for years, we were the police
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: of the world.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: Somebody needed help. We, you know, taxpayers paid for it
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: because our military would go in and take care of business. Well,
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: and of course, Donald Trump, you know, and I voted
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: for Trump every time, you know, but he's pissing me
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: off really.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Bad right now.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Me too.
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: You know, a lot of the stuff he said, he, well,
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: typical policy, you know, everybody says, well, he's not a politician.
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: He's a businessman. Well, yeah. You know, you need a
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: businessman to run the country because politicians can't, you know, um,
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: And the problem is now he's going back on... You know,
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: he's falling into that politician's mind. You know, they tell
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: you what you want to hear, and they all do it.
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: I don't care who they are. Whether, you know, whether
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: they're a congressman, a senator, it doesn't matter. They all
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: tell you the same thing when they want to get elected.
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: And then once they get elected, they don't give two
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: shits about any of us.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: And they don't.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: You know, and unfortunately, you know... It seems that it
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: doesn't matter who you elect. You know, look at the White.
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: He's all up in arms about these Haitians.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: They're part of the community.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: Well, they shouldn't have been.
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: Here in the first place.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: You know, so you need to go. They all need
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: to go.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: And the problem, as I see, is people are getting
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: fed up. They're getting fed up and they're going to
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: start taking matters into their own hands, I have a feeling.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: You know, to a point.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Because..
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: These politicians, they don't even want to listen to you.
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: When you go to a meeting and say something, they.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Don't want to hear it. Look what's going on with
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: all these AI centers.
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: These people are up in arms.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: They don't want it.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: And then people are telling you, too bad.
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: Your voice doesn't count. And when your voice doesn't start counting,
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: we're in a lot of trouble.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm listening to every word you're saying, and I'm
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: agreeing with everything you're saying. I can't add anything other
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: than aye-aye, Captain. Well stated.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: Ha!
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: Well, thank you, sir.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: You have a great day.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I think I'm going to vote for that
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: guy right there. You're on the air.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: Hello. He's got my vote, too.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Well, see, he's on a roll. I mean, it's just
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: I get the frustration. Listen, I'm not a fan of
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: most of these local politicians around here. Most of them
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: certainly don't impress me at all. They don't impress me
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: with their... with their wisdom or their uh... leadership skills
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: i mean dave thomas being exception to that as far
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: as the state rep is concerned i tell you people
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: that have impressed me in politics i'm thoroughly impressed by
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: ron de santis i think he's the best governor on
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: the on the plan i think ron de santis is
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: a terrific governor i would love to see him be
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: president i think he's a very very smart man and
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: i think he would really do a good job running
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: this country if that's possible with all the special interest
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: and the money that corrupts everything. But I think that
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: of DeSantis. I think that Dave Thomas is outstanding. I
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: think John Pleschnik, the commissioner in Lake County, is a
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: shining star. Brian Massey that's leading the charge to get
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: the constitutional amendment on the ballot to repeal property taxes.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Denise that circulates these petitions. There are so many great
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: people that are out there that are doing things that
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: I give them credit for, that they're trying to get
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: things accomplished to make things better for you. But the
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: rest of them, I don't sense it.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: Do you? I don't either. They got themselves wrapped up
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: around so much junk that they can't get out of it.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: They need to get voted out of there. Get them
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: old heads out of there. And just start pumping people
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: in there. If they don't work, pump, get them out
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: of there again.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but somehow they get elected and they get reelected.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely beyond me to watch this scenario. I mean,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: it's totally beyond me. I talk about George McKelvey a
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: lot because George McKelvey always viewed the people who voted
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: for him as customers. He didn't care whether you agreed
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: or disagreed with him politically. If you're a Republican or Democrat,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: to him, you were a customer. And if you had
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: an issue, he'd do his best to try to fix
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: it for you. I sensed that from Pat Anguero when
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: he was around as well. I sensed he was like that.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: I thought Traffick did a good job as a congressman.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: I don't sense anybody that's been in Congress since him
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: has represented you or this community to the degree he's
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: represented it. Do you?
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: You're absolutely right. I had always said that he got ripped.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: They went after him because he wouldn't. following suit with
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: the rest of the Democrats, so they figured out a
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: way to get rid of him, and they let the
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Republicans do it.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Well, I look back and I say, all the stuff
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: that he did, the federal courthouses, the improvements out at
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: the airbase, the Covelli Center, the 7-Eleven connector, I mean,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: I can tell you everything he was able to accomplish
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: as a man, as a congressman, and yet his name
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: doesn't appear on any of it. It's as though he never..
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: We were without electric. Guests who reached out and snatched
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: a military generating system, got it to Niles, so Niles
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: could have electricity back in certain areas.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Trafficking?
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: That was never talked about. Yeah.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, Trafican was a well-educated person. Trafican was a
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: smart guy, and I thought he did a lot of
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: good for the community. I thought he was the most
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: effective congressman. Tim Ryan was a joke. Michael Rooley is
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Michael Rooley. He's no Jim Trafican is all I can say.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm kind of expecting more from him than
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: I'm seeing at this point.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: Rooley and Marino, they're I have called him I don't
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: know how many times. And I've never gotten anything back
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: except that answering service or go to dot, dot, dot, dot, whatever,
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: and put it in. So I tried. I never got
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: anything out of either one of them two jokers.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: I will tell you this, though. From a Senate standpoint,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: I'm rather enjoying Bernie Marino. I mean, I like him
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: as senator. I must confess that. I do like what
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: I see with Bernie Marino. I mean, I like that.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: There's no way in hell I'd ever vote for Sherrod Brown.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, when I see a commercial of Sherrod Brown
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: talking about all this stuff that he wants to do,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: I sit there and scream. I said, for God's sakes,
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: you were there for 30 years. Why didn't you do
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: it then? I mean, it's ridiculous.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: Maybe he realized he screwed up.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: I doubt it. I mean, you had all that time.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Your time has passed. You should have done it then.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Now let's let somebody else take over.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know what to say on that anymore. It's
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: a toss-up. I mean, he's fighting because his son-in-law is
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: doing all this nasty stuff to get him kicked out.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: What did he do with the Epstein stuff?
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: But the Epstein stuff doesn't involve him personally. I don't
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: know where he stands on releasing that, but it doesn't
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: involve him personally. The stuff with his son-in-law is deeply disturbing.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: There's two sides to every story, but it seems deeply disturbing.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: And I look at Bernie Marino as a father who
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: cares a great deal about his daughter. I view it
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: quite differently. I view it as a father that's concerned
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: about his daughter and his granddaughter.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: Well, I understand. Now, we both are, aren't we, about
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: our daughters and our sons?
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, we are. There's nothing more important in your life
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: than your children.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: And your wife, too. I remember her now.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Thanks for covering the basis for me. I appreciate that.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: I get reminded of that every day.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, you know, so... I mean, I wish
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: I could sit here. Like I keep saying, I've got
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: to get Pleschnik back on the program. He's a commissioner
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: in Lake County. When this guy comes on and when
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: he's done, you'll just find him so refreshing. His honesty,
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: his thought process. You just say, this guy is fantastic.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: And you look at our commissioners and you say, where's
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: that here? Where is that passion? Where is that support
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: for the taxpayer? Where is that? It's non-existent.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: Well, you take away the taxes, how's the state of
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: Ohio going to make it?
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm not saying you can't take away all the taxes,
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: but you certainly can take a look at all the
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: money that's going in and where it's being spent. I'm
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: sure you can reduce a lot of spending and let
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: you keep a lot of your money. Let's put it
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: that way, whether that's statewide... or even locally.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: I understand that, but when the Haitians got here in Ohio,
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: even our governor and part of the group down at
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: Columbus said, Trump is wrong about these people. They were
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: here for a special reason, and we allowed him in.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: temporarily all of a sudden they're eating what our dogs
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: our cats and our ducks i can't believe this.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Nonsense they're eating the dogs.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: He didn't come out say they're eating the rats so
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: i mean hey that would be a positive thing.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: That's uh but uh hey you're here temporarily now you
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: gotta go i mean see you later that's that's all
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: there is to it i mean.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: You talking to me?
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: No, I'm talking to the Haitians. Are you Haitian?
• 38:24
  Speaker 7: No.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Then you can stay.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: Oh, thank you very much. I appreciate your support.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Yes. I'll let you stay, old-timer. It's like I anointed
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: myself king all of a sudden. I make all the decisions.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: You look at DeWine. I don't get DeWine. He's been
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: a certainly disappointment as governor, to say the least.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, on some things, but... Some things not. I mean,
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: you can't always be perfect all the time or make
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: every right decision.
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: It's tough.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: It's tough because everything you move or you do is
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: going to be watched. And it's hard. I mean, I
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: can only just imagine being governor. Thank God I was
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: not governor because I'd be jumping all over these people
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: screaming and yelling at them while they're trying to do
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: some work. to get something done for the people here
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: in the state. We're losing jobs left and right.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't think so around here.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: That's all over the whole United States.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Well, are we losing them? to technology? Maybe so. I
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: would agree. Technology has replaced a lot of people and
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: probably will continue to. But, you know, from our standpoint, remember,
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: construction jobs are booming around here. They're building that Kimberly
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Clark plant out in Trumbull County. I mean, granted, the
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: battery plant doesn't seem like that's panned out too good, right?
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Because the demand isn't there for those vehicles. So you've
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: got a lot of those guys that are just laid off.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you're right about that. But then again, them
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: vehicles don't look so bad anymore when you've got to
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: pay this high price in fuel.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking, too.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: It just amazes me. And then here we're trying to
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: get this wind and solar power going. It makes me
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: laugh because now our electric rates are going up. Why?
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: It's going up.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Stand by. Stand by. I want to talk to you
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: about electric rates and more. Call us in line. Stick around.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: More to come right after this. I heart radio.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: I'm Dr.
• 40:28
  Speaker 8: Cheryl Figliano.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: News Radio 570 WKBN.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: All right, Ron Verb with you. I got something for you.
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: I got something for you.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: Okay, over in Europe there. I think it was in England.
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: They built this big, huge grid.
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: Okay?
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: For a little of solar power. And they come across.
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: And when they got it done, they were going to
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: flip the switch. Everybody was getting ready for flipping the
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: switch to put it into the grid. And the people
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: on the grid called back and said, you can't do it.
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: We aren't structurally made for all that. But you've got
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: a nice power system, but we've got to create a
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: bigger grid so we can accept that power and put
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: it out there. So now, my nephew... The company he
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: works for comes out of England, and they asked him
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: to come over there because they wanted to see how
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: he did the work and how well he could teach
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: people and what they might be able to help him
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: out with. So he got to see a little bit
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: of England there for about two or three weeks, and
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: one of the things he's come out was he was
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: shocked to hear that he could have went to France
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: on one of his weekends by plane for $ 40 to France. Now,
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: ain't that something? I'd like to see you go to
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: the airport out here or up in Cleveland, down in Pittsburgh,
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: put $ 40 down. I want to go to Chicago. They'll
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: laugh you right out of the place.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Well, how could you afford to do so? Jet fuel
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: is so expensive these days. I mean, you can't pay
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: $ 40 to go. If you're paying $ 40, I don't understand that.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: Well, the refineries over there are keeping it up. BP
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: and them, they're all keeping that up. In the United States,
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: we have it, and we don't. And the only way
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: we're going to get it is if we get these
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: people to quit making these big, huge bonuses to build
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: a plant. But they want the federal government to give
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: them the money to build it. And when you take
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: a look at the profits they made in the second quarter, what,
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: $ 20 million more than they made last year? And it
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: just shocks me that when they turn around and say, well,
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: how can you do that and have all that money
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: and yet our gas is so high? They didn't really
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: have a good answer for it, except that's just business.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: Well, the war has created this problem. Trump has created
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: this problem because you've got 20 to 30 million barrels
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: a day shortage in the oil markets.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: Only here in the United States by their records. If
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: you can fly from England to France for 40 bucks,
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: that's saying over there they're keeping everything running right.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know about that. I'd have to check
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: that out. All right, old-timer, good hearing your voice. You've
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: got a pleasant voice. You've got a pleasant way about you.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: He calms me down. More to come right after the break,
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: so you stay tuned. Ron Furb, Kingdom of Mahoning.
