  Speaker 1: On Verb, on NewsRadio 570, WKBN.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Back to it, NewsRadio 570, WKBN.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: When you said about being surprised that this happens, I'm
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: surprised because it went against everything Trump said that he
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: believed in and supported. So I'm surprised by this action
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: as well because he reversed himself.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he ran as the peace president.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Well, he said we shouldn't get bogged down in the
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Middle East and forever wars and we should get out
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: of it. And he did a total reversal. And then
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: he reversed himself when he said the bunker buster, that's it.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Mission accomplished.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: See you later.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: And I believe it probably was accomplished, quite frankly. And
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: then he got involved in this situation. And let me
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: just ask you some questions, some yes or no questions.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I sincerely believe that he thought this would be over
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: relatively quickly.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Would you agree?
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he said within two weeks, that's when Mossad and
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: then Yahoo told him. That lasts longer than two weeks.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Or maybe a month. And that wasn't the case.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: And that there wasn't this gigantic uprising or any of
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: that kind of stuff that he was led to believe.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: And now when you look at the situation, I'm asking you,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: what's the way out?
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Where do we go from here?
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: Well, the way out is..
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: What should we do is what I'm asking you.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Here's what we have to do. The Israel-owned Congress is
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: about to pass two laws. One merges the U.S. military
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: with Israel, and the other makes Americans who criticize Israel
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: to be criminals. We need to stop funding Israel. We
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: need to get AIPAC to register as a foreign lobby.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: And we need voter election integrity.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Can trust the elections.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, I don't disagree with anything that you just said.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: But my question is, what's the way out of the
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: situation right now that we are in Iran? I mean,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: what do you do? Do you say to Israel, we're done,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: you're on your own, see you later, this was a
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: mistake and we're leaving?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: What do you do now?
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. If I was Trump or the dictator of America,
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: I would declare peace and not only bring hope all
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: the troops home from the Persian Gulf, close all 858
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: military bases all over the world, and bring the troops home,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: and that would drastically cut the war budget because we
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: can't afford war anymore. It's bankrupting us. We're involved in
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: war on Israel's behalf. not to defend the American people
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: from harm.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: In other words, what you're saying is we attacked them,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: them being Iran, they didn't attack us.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: That's correct. Now, to your first scholar, you know, he's saying, well,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: the Iranians are chanting death to America. Well, you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: the CIA, Mossad, and British MI5 overthrew the democratically elected
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Mossadegh prime minister in 1953. and installed a dictator called
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: the Shah of Iran, whose Soviet tortured Iranians for criticizing
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: the government. I think if some country did that to us,
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: we would be chanting death to them as well.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: All right. It is a mess. So what do you think?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Just a quick question.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, and it's all speculation because we've never been
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: in a situation like this before. And I do sincerely
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: think that this is a mess. I mean, I'm deeply
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: concerned where inflation is going to go. I'm deeply concerned
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: with what's the exit ramp on this situation. How do
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: you get out of this mess?
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Ron, I think the economy is in deep trouble.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: So do I.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: I read a report yesterday. Small businesses are closing up shop.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: They're laying people off. You know, small businesses is the
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: backbone to economic growth. It's not the large companies like
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: NVIDIA and General Motors. Small businesses historically create the jobs,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: and we're not creating the jobs. And small businesses are
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: in trouble.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: They can't afford.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Pause for a second.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: I thought..
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I thought on John Arnold's show Thursday nights, Thursday night, six, seven,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: John Arnold money talk. I thought he made an interesting observation.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: I just want to bounce this off you. Then I
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: get to more calls. I mean, he really made an
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: interesting observation. I mean, listen, I, John's a pretty sharp guy.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Would you agree financially? I mean, he's, he's a pretty
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: smart guy. So he was, he was talking about it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: This doesn't make sense as far as spending is concerned
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: and inflation and and what's going on and how people
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: are continuing to spend.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: You follow me?
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: He said, and he said, and he said, here's why,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: what I think is causing that.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: And I said, well, what John? And he said, I
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: think it's as a result of COVID.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: And he said, it's a, he said, as a result
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: of COVID, it's changed people in their philosophy where they thought,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: where suddenly many people thought, well, what's the point?
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I could die tomorrow.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: What's the next pandemic or who knows that I'm going
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: to live and be able to retire tomorrow. It's changed
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: the mentality of a lot of people to where they're
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: going to buy no matter what the situation is, even
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: if it puts them in debt. And I think he
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: might be right about that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Well, Ron, let me wrap it up by saying I've
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: been telling you for decades now that we've got to
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: stop taxing businesses, especially small businesses, and we've got to
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: stop over-regulating them. If we did that, small businesses... would
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: create jobs where we would have to import more workers
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: than we're doing now. We would have such labor shortages
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: in the wages for American people would go up and
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: up and up if we just did those two things.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I got you.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Thanks, Frank.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it. You're on the air.
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I just need one thing. I'm at the grocery
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: store right now. Can I bill you guys for my
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: Reese's peanut butter sticks?
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Why do you want to bill me for your, excuse me,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: your Reese's peanut butter sticks?
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, don't you remember our bet? I was going to
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: if we had signed a peace agreement. This was a
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: couple weeks ago.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: If we sign a peace..
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: You don't remember?
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: No, refresh my memory.
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: Remember, our bet was if we would sign a peace
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: agreement within the week that you stated we were going
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: to do, then I would either get you some Milo's
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: iced tea, or you would get me my Reese's Pieces.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: So it's been..
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: That's all I'm concerned about. World affairs and stuff, I'm
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: not too worried. I just want my Reese's.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Well, wait a minute. I thought I said that we
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: wouldn't do that. What was my side of that bet?
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: The side of the bet was within what you guys
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: all said and everybody said.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I never said that.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, no.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I never said we had signed it. We had that.
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: You're going back on our bet.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: No, we had the moratorium.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: I think it's yet to be determined, and it's looking
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: more like you owe me the gallon of Milo's unsweet tea.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Not the sweet tea, the unsweet tea.
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: But we're not signing a peace agreement. We haven't signed
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: a peace agreement. That was the bet.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: And I don't think, I never said we'd sign a
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: peace agreement. You must be mistaking me for G2 or
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Rich or somebody else.
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: I thought it was you. I'm so sorry it was
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: somebody else. No, it's you're a whole different because you've
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: had nothing but liberals on.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: You're a whole different guy.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: You're a whole different guy since you went and had
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: your analysis by your psychiatrist.
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: He's coming back to be flashbacks now.
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're supposed to be.
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: So I never had that. So I'll get you. I'll
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: get on that. Milo's for you real soon here.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: You're not. You're supposed to be.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I thought your psychiatrist was transforming you from JJ the
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: liberal to JJ the Trumpster.
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: That's what it is. I just had another twitch right now.
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: I remember now, though. I am going to have to
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: go to Milo's today. Honey, honey, would you go get
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: that Milo's unsweetened? Yeah, the gallons. Yeah.
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: Tell them it's Moran Verb.
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: Tell them it's Moran Verb.
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: Thank you, honey.
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: Thank you. Can you pick up some Reese's sticks for me, too?
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: Oh, no.
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: Come on.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Never mind.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: See you later.
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: I'm not going to take too much of your time,
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: but it is true.
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: We've got..
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: You know, folks, I said this the other day, and
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: I just say it while you're online. When people, the
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: two most frequent callers people ever ask me about when
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I dare to go anywhere outside of my home... The
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: two most callers that they ask me about are G2
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: and JJ. Honest to God, they're the two most. Way
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: like telling, well, JJ, the liberal has now become JJ,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: the Trumpster ever since he went in for some psychiatric counseling.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: And, uh, Your bits are better than ever, though. I mean,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: you are on a roll. I mean, you're acting.
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: You're lying.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Your acting is very good.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: I mean, no, Milo's. Milo's.
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: That's it, right. Write it down. I'm sorry, buddy. I
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: had to remind myself.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's the end of the mind.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: It's almost like I feel you're at the grocery store
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: as you're talking right now. Wait, wait, wait.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Wait a second.
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: Wait, Ron.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: Honey, get a cooler.
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: Cooler. And then they have the bags of ice outside
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: because we got to make sure it's delivered cold. So
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: could you do that for me? Thank you, honey.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: I owe you.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry. Go ahead.
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: Wait a minute.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, folks, it is almost like it's like the
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: old days when they were doing the dramas on radio.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sitting here listening. It's like Jay Jason.
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: I remember that.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: It's like Jay Jason.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: How was it like after?
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: Because I'm turning 64 tomorrow. How was life after that?
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: Is it as good as you're living? Do I have
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: that to look forward to?
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: You know what? Let me tell you something, buddy. As
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: long as you're alive and healthy, life is wonderful. But
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: you are doing some great theater of the minds. I
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: pictured you right at the grocery store, hollering to your
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: wife and getting the cooler and ice. I mean, I
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: visually could see it in my mind, everything that you
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: were enacting on the program.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: So I got to give you kudos. I mean, brilliantly done.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Just brilliantly done.
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: I still remember you're in our G2' s thing. Remember when they,
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: what was it? It was giving you that weird background feed.
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: And you guys went along with it. You guys were
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: feeding off of one another. It actually had me laughing.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: I was actually crying. I was laughing so much. And
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: I think even the people that... Don't agree with me
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: most of the time. We all had a belly laugh
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: that day.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: It really is.
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: You had the ability to kind of blend with one another,
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: and that's called improv.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: You better hang up. Your wife's at the self-checkout. You
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: better get down there.
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: M-I-L-O-S, plus V-S, Milo's.
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: Yes, Milo's.
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: Listen, I've got to go take.
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: Care of this, man.
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: Have a great weekend.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: There he is. Oh, Lord. You're on the air.
• 11:31
  Speaker 10: Good afternoon, Ron.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: How are you?
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I'm doing okay. I really am. I'm doing much better now.
• 11:38
  Speaker 10: Where's he calling from? The Seventh Planet?
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: No, the grocery store. It's all theater of the mind.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: It's J.J. the Trumpster.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: He went through some psychiatric shock therapy to go from
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: being a liberal to the Trumpster. And he's got some
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: side effects.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: You understand.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: Well, that's okay.
• 11:56
  Speaker 10: I don't think he's quite there yet.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Hey, now let me ask you this question. How are
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: things going out there economically, in your opinion? Folks, Mike
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: is like a sales guy. This is a guy, folks,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: that it's easy for me to brag about. And I
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: want you to hear this. This is a guy that
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: is one of those guys that leaves on Monday and
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: gets home on Friday because he's all over the country
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: selling an industrial product, machinery and that, all over the country.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: So He's a.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Guy that's out there providing for his family, and he
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: doesn't get to see them very much. Just as a
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: side note, does that get old after a while, yes
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: or no?
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Okay. I mean, hotels and just being in different places
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: and that kind of stuff.
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: I had a good week this week.
• 12:42
  Speaker 10: But, you know, I have nothing new to report, Ron.
• 12:47
  Speaker 10: Everything is on the credit card. But, you know, I really–
• 12:50
  Speaker 10: it's been a while since we've talked.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 12:54
  Speaker 10: And– You know, probably the last time, one of the
• 12:58
  Speaker 10: last discussions we had was, you know, we need to
• 13:01
  Speaker 10: get out of this Iranian tussle here as quickly as
• 13:06
  Speaker 10: possible because this current government that we hired is not
• 13:13
  Speaker 10: doing what we hired them to do, which is the
• 13:16
  Speaker 10: America First agenda.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 13:18
  Speaker 10: And to secure these elections.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 13:20
  Speaker 10: So it really doesn't matter. what the economy is doing
• 13:26
  Speaker 10: right now if we don't get this solved. Because as we,
• 13:31
  Speaker 10: you know, going back to 2020, we can see how
• 13:35
  Speaker 10: quickly that everything can be, it's just like a light switch.
• 13:40
  Speaker 10: Everything can be undone with a few strokes of the
• 13:44
  Speaker 10: auto pen.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Aren't you disappointed in the Republicans as a whole that
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: in the majority they haven't secured more of this other
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: than executive orders?
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Republican Party.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Is extremely disappointing with the American agenda that they didn't
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: secure it more and that they don't get the SAVE
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Act passed. I think that's vital. Okay, so it's horrible
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: that you've got to show an ID to vote and
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: be a citizen.
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: Really?
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: That's controversial? You've got to have your head examined.
• 14:17
  Speaker 10: I should be able to walk on the sub-base that
• 14:19
  Speaker 10: I was on this week with, you know, just a
• 14:22
  Speaker 10: piece of paper that says.
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: I'm coming in to look.
• 14:25
  Speaker 10: And I'm not going to look and take any pictures,
• 14:27
  Speaker 10: but I'm going to– I want to sell you something.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: How'd that work out? Were you able to do that?
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: No, not at all.
• 14:37
  Speaker 10: So let's go real quick here. I don't want to
• 14:41
  Speaker 10: tie up too much of your time. You know, Donald Trump,
• 14:46
  Speaker 10: he's the– the de facto leader for this America First agenda.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 14:51
  Speaker 10: We hired him to push this agenda forward. Obviously, he
• 14:55
  Speaker 10: cannot do it himself. He's got, you know, he's got,
• 15:01
  Speaker 10: you know, the Senate and the Congress to deal with.
• 15:05
  Speaker 10: I wish that he would go after these people that
• 15:09
  Speaker 10: are holding up this agenda as hard as he did
• 15:13
  Speaker 10: Thomas Massie.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Bravo. Stand by. Just let me do my break. I'll
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: come right back to you, okay? Just hang in there.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: I'm always intrigued by what Mike has to say. Back
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: after this, stay tuned. Ron, verb 422.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: So, see, I'm in tune with what you're saying. You're
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: saying Trump has got to get back to why he
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: was elected.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 15:41
  Speaker 10: And I'm going to go a little... I've got a
• 15:44
  Speaker 10: couple points, but this one... You know, you talk about
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: DeSantis quite a bit.
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:49
  Speaker 10: And, you know, the job that the people in Florida
• 15:53
  Speaker 10: hired DeSantis to do, he's doing.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.
• 15:58
  Speaker 10: Absolutely. And I don't know, you know, this is obviously
• 16:01
  Speaker 10: hindsight is 20-20. And I don't know how wrong DeSantis
• 16:05
  Speaker 10: would be as president of the United States. But just
• 16:09
  Speaker 10: based on where we are today and the results... that
• 16:16
  Speaker 10: he has achieved there versus the results that we have
• 16:20
  Speaker 10: achieved on the national level, I may vote for, I
• 16:26
  Speaker 10: would probably vote for DeSantis over Trump.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Are you prepared?
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Well, Trump obviously can't run again. I would vote for,
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: if DeSantis was running for president next time, I would
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: vote for him over anybody. I think, quite frankly, there's
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: a couple of things. What I like about DeSantis is
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: he reads. He reads this stuff. I mean, he just
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: doesn't go by advisors. I think he's smart.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: He reads.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: And I love his philosophy on taxes. And I played
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: it one day for an hour. I want to repeat
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: that on some future broadcast.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: It's so moving.
• 17:02
  Speaker 10: Hopefully this deer does not try to cross the road. Oh,
• 17:05
  Speaker 10: it's going back.
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: Good.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 10: Sorry about the play-by-play.
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: But, I mean, I remember your call vividly because you said, listen,
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: we've got to get out of this Iran situation. We've
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: got to get back to the American First agenda, getting
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: rid of inflation and the secure elections.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: That's all.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: We've got to get back to that kind of stuff.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: And he's not doing any of that.
• 17:30
  Speaker 10: No. For whatever reason, he is, you know, stuck in
• 17:35
  Speaker 10: a rut with... this Iranian war, and, you know, I
• 17:41
  Speaker 10: just want to see you get out of it. How
• 17:43
  Speaker 10: do you get out of it? I don't know, other
• 17:44
  Speaker 10: than just walking away and saying, who did Frank say,
• 17:47
  Speaker 10: I'm declaring peace?
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I'm declaring victory.
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: No, no, no, he said I'm declaring peace.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 17:55
  Speaker 10: Walking away. So, now I've got a couple questions for you, Ron.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 18:00
  Speaker 10: Do you trust people?
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Some, yes.
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 18:08
  Speaker 10: Do you trust people running business?
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Some, yes. Okay.
• 18:14
  Speaker 10: Do you trust people running the government?
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 18:23
  Speaker 10: I got your answer. Yeah, I got your answer. That's okay.
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: You don't have to. So my question to you is
• 18:36
  Speaker 10: why do we You know, why do people, their default
• 18:42
  Speaker 10: position is that if I can't figure this out, we're
• 18:48
  Speaker 10: going to have government do it, provide the solution, where
• 18:52
  Speaker 10: you've got in, say, the free market and business where
• 18:56
  Speaker 10: you would have choices. You know, the only time we
• 18:58
  Speaker 10: don't have a choice in the free market is when
• 19:01
  Speaker 10: it has government-granted monopoly powers and licensure. That's the only
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: time we don't have a choice. Every other one, you
• 19:09
  Speaker 10: can go, you know, you don't have to go to
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: Burger King.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: You go to McDonald's.
• 19:14
  Speaker 10: And I heard today, it was a great, on another
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: radio show.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Is there such a thing?
• 19:19
  Speaker 10: They said that, not as good as yours.
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: Wink, wink.
• 19:28
  Speaker 10: They said that having the government put forth regulations, They
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: were talking about school boards. It was like having Burger
• 19:37
  Speaker 10: King regulate where McDonald's can go and vice versa. Can
• 19:43
  Speaker 10: you put a Burger King next to a McDonald's and
• 19:48
  Speaker 10: then going and ask McDonald's if that's okay? So that's
• 19:51
  Speaker 10: what you have when you have government. Except for one thing.
• 19:56
  Speaker 10: The government can come back with a gun and say
• 19:59
  Speaker 10: you must comply, where a business cannot. You can just
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: go down the street. So why do we trust government
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: to provide... Stay Medicare or Medicaid or Social Security or, oh,
• 20:16
  Speaker 10: I don't know. How about your currency? You know, Bitcoin,
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: stable coin or whatever Alec was talking about the other day.
• 20:25
  Speaker 10: I mean, the one thing that struck me was.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: He was saying that they.
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: Had some clarity act that was going to prevent government.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Stand by for one more break. Hang on.
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 20:36
  Speaker 9: News Radio 570 WKVN.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: A 36-year-old Canfield man was under indictment over a crash
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: last year that killed an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper.
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: Ryan Rack is charged with aggravated vehicular homicide and vehicular assault.
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: The wreck killed trooper Nicholas Caton. The CDC is sending
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: detectives to Ohio to look into the cyclosporiasis outbreak. The
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: Ohio Department of Health has requested help from the CDC
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: in pinpointing the source of the parasites causing rising numbers
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: of illnesses. The experts are going to be interviewing individuals
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: who have tested positive for cyclospora over the next three weeks.
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: Over 2,000 cases of cyclosporiasis have been reported in Ohio
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: since June 23rd.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: I'm Matt Reese.
• 21:31
  Speaker 9: Listen on the free iHeartRadio app for all your music, news, talk,
• 21:34

  Speaker 9: Free never sounded so good. A to Z dependable services.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Plumbing, septic, heating.
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: Now, Ron Verb. On NewsRadio 570, WKBN.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: All right, let me go back. I want to get
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: some more words of wisdom, final words from Mike. Okay,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: go ahead. What were you saying?
• 21:55
  Speaker 10: There's not many words of wisdom left.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, to me, here's my credit to you.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm going to ask you this. How do
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: you think the economy is doing right now?
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: It's teetering on the edge.
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's all smoke and mirrors.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Okay, because you're out there and you're dealing with industry
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: and business and you sell a machinery and it's expensive
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: and you hear it firsthand. Folks, if you want to
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: know how the economy is doing, ask a salesman. Ask
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: a truck driver. Ask anybody in shipping.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 22:29
  Speaker 10: But that's only going to give you part of the picture.
• 22:32
  Speaker 10: You know, if a company is close to, say, the
• 22:38
  Speaker 10: government trough, Oh, yeah.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 22:40
  Speaker 10: They're buying like crazy.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: They don't care.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 22:43
  Speaker 10: Because that's... At this point, it's never-ending.
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 22:47
  Speaker 10: It's like, oh, we're going to go to, I don't know,
• 22:52
  Speaker 10: the buffet at the Ron Herb restaurant.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: If they're involved in anything with the military, I get you.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I know what you mean.
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 22:59
  Speaker 10: So, you know, that's only part of the story. The
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: real thing, though, is this, you know, the $ 40 trillion that...
• 23:08
  Speaker 10: debt that we have, and the gazillion dollars of unfunded liabilities,
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: things like Social Security and pensions and stuff like that,
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: that is what's going to crush the United States if
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: we do not continually dip into future productivity to pay
• 23:28
  Speaker 10: these things. You know, so back to this Clarity Act
• 23:33
  Speaker 10: thing and the Bitcoin and stablecoin thing. They're not going
• 23:39
  Speaker 10: to be backed by anything. And to say that they're
• 23:42
  Speaker 10: going to be backed by the U.S. Treasuries or the dollar,
• 23:47
  Speaker 10: what is that? There's no backing there either. It's our
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: ability to pay those bills, you and I, to contribute
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: with our productivity that keeps this charade going. And therein
• 24:01
  Speaker 10: lies the problem. At some point in time, that loaf
• 24:05
  Speaker 10: of bread... you will need a wheelbarrow full of money
• 24:10
  Speaker 10: to buy it. So, you know, the long-term outlook, as
• 24:16
  Speaker 10: long as we are under this system, is not good. Now,
• 24:21
  Speaker 10: I've got a question for you. If you change the
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: way Social Security is funded, is it still Social Security?
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is. Yes, it is.
• 24:33
  Speaker 10: Well, in name only, Ron.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: In name only it's a great program and you and
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: i will always disagree on.
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: That we will disagree on it but it is not
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: a great program we will disagree that it's a program.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: I think it's a great program and you and i
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: are just i tell you what we're just gonna have
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: to arm wrestle okay.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: You want to.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Well, probably not at my age. Yeah, probably not at
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: my age.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, you're right.
• 24:59
  Speaker 10: It'd be beating up on an old man.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: At least you acknowledge it, you know what I mean?
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, sonny boy, respect your elders, all right?
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: See you later, Mike.
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: So, Ron, have a great weekend.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: You too. You're on the air.
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, hi, Ron.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Hi.
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm kind of disappointed that you went to
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: three hours, but I totally understand because, you know, I'm
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: an older.
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: Person, too.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: I just want to say this again. Three hours is
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: important to me, folks, because... Four hours is a long,
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: most talk shows are three hours, not four hours. I've
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: done a four-hour talk show here for 41 years. And
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: that's a long haul to do a four-hour talk show.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: So when people would complain about the Guardians coming on,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: I love listening to the Guardians, but I rejoiced when
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: they came on because it meant sometimes I could finish
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: at 6 or 6.30 as opposed to 7 o'clock. And
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: by the time I get out of here and get
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: home and I'm eating dinner at 830, it's crazy.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: I totally get that.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: I just said I had enough of that. I don't
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: want to do that.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: But here's my comment. That all being said, and I
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: totally understand that, but now three hours and then three
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: nights a week, you know, you have other shows that
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: go on for the third hour.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Well, I have to do those, yeah.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Rockport on Monday and John Earl, yes.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: So it's only three days.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: That being said.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead.
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: Three days.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but three other, three one-hour days. So basically, I've
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: been on hold for an hour. And what I want
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: to ask is for the people who called Every day.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, just go ahead.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: Not just once a week. Every day.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: I love my everyday callers.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: Can we try to keep it a little pithy?
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: No.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: To give other people a chance to talk. Now, I'm
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: not saying that they shouldn't. They can call every day.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: I'm going to answer your criticism, and then I'll let
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: you talk. This program would not exist at the level
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: it exists without those regular callers. I'm just telling you
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: point blank that without them, this program would not exist
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: to the level that it exists. And because many of
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: those regular callers are outstanding contributors and.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Make the program successful. what it is.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Here's a little inside baseball I give you on radio
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: talk shows. Less than 2% of the audience actually picks
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: up the phone and calls.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: That's a very small percentage.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: 98% of the people that listen to talk radio never
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: pick up the phone and call.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: It takes a certain degree of guts to call.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: And when you get regular callers like JJ, he's really
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: a fairly entertaining guy.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Richard Farmacist is a smart guy. G2 is in a
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: category by himself.
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: And all of this kind of stuff.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: The regular callers that we've cultivated and have are excellent
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: from a knowledge standpoint and or they're very entertaining.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: So I will defend them.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: And that's why most talk shows, if you've ever listened, like,
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: for example, Jesse Kelly that's on at 10 o'clock at night,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: he doesn't take any calls. If you listen to Clay
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: and Buck, they don't take very many calls. I don't
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: understand radio talk shows anymore, folks, where it's just two
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: or three people talking to each other all the time
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: and they never engage with the audience or take calls
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: from the audience.
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: It's a risk.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Even Sean Hannity takes very few calls. And a lot
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: of these guys use what they call the iHeartRadio app,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: which is like one way. You can record 20 seconds
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: and then Then they could play it. And to a
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: certain extent, this sounds terrible. It's the coward's way out
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: because I think you should be.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: I agree with you. And it is very risky. I mean,
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: you know, we've got the one caller that you have
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: to hang up on all the time, you know, because
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: it's kind of foul mouth. But you know what I'm saying?
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: You know that guy. And then you have to hang
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: up on him. But anyhow, are you still there?
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: Hello?
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: Yes. Anyhow.
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: Where do you think I went?
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Do you think like a UFO came down? Are you
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: still there? No, I went out for lunch.
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: Maybe you hung up on me.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't hang up. You are starting to get
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: on my nerves.
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: I'm not trying to complain. I want to, you know,
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: I love.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, sometimes.
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: You have a lot of critical thinkers.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, I guess I'm very smart.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: Some people are just critical.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: Early on the program, you're probably kind of just critical.
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: But there are the critical thinkers, like JT, like Ted
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: the Conservative, like, you know, sometimes, you know, Frank, he
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: can just be critical.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Frank's a pretty smart guy, actually. I know a lot
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: of people don't.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: Well, I agree. You know, I'm past the age. I
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: don't have the money. to do the investing and to
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: do all of that. So sometimes when those callers come on,
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: it just kind of goes over my head. And I'm
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: sure there's a lot of people out there who are
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: like that.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: It goes over my head when they get into the
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: weeds on that. Right. I mean, it really does.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: But I'm conscious of what you're saying, and I appreciate it.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Believe me.
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: I'm asking them.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: Try to, you know, hold it, keep it a little
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: pippy because your fellow listeners would occasionally like to get.
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: A word in.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Well, if.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: They're interesting, I really like a lot of those people,
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: and I really enjoy engaging with them. Hey, nothing lasts forever,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: I've got to tell you. Here's the reality. There are
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: very few local radio talk shows anymore at all.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: And here, I'm going to give you the inside scoop,
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: because you've intrigued me now, and now I'm confessing everything
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: to you.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, you're going to..
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I probably shouldn't say any of this, okay?
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: So you'll probably get me in deep trouble.
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: Just between you and me.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Just between you and me.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Like when you see on a lot of talk radio
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: stations and they put on what they call network shows
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: like Sean Hannity, like Jesse Kelly, like Clay and Buck,
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: all of those programs are owned by Premier, which is
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: a network which is owned by iHeart, okay?
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: You follow me?
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: So iHeartRadio owns Premier. So those are all their properties.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: That's all their network shows.
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: That's a stable of people. Correct.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Absolutely correct.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: And they're tried and true and tested and all that
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: kind of stuff. So if you go pretty much anywhere
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: in the country on iHeartStation, you mostly hear all network programming.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: you hear very few local radio talk shows at all anymore,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: particularly in medium-sized markets or small markets, and even in
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: some of the larger markets. You hear very few local
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: radio talk shows. And I think that's a big mistake.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Make no mistake. In my opinion, I think it is
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: a huge, huge mistake. But I don't own this company.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: They own it. And it's theirs to do with what
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: they please. And I think local radio stations should serve
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: the local community. And I think it's hard to do
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: that when you have network programming on.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: All the time.
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: I agree.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: You know, I used to sell advertising for three different
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: radio stations when I lived in State College. So radio
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: is close to my heart. That's why I listen.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: It's far better than television.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: And I'm going to enjoy this conversation, folks, so everybody
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: else is just going to have to wait. When you say,
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: I enjoy this conversation because... Like the other day when
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: I was talking about the Poland Library, you can't do
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: what we did here on television or any other outlet.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: I can sit here with the architect that built that
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: library and talk to him for two to three hours
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: about that situation. And it's such an honor. And it's
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: such an honor to have... A blessing, I guess you
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: would say, to have a large audience. You follow me?
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know the business. I mean, we're blessed.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: We've got a huge signal. We've got a lot of
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: listeners and people that don't listen live. They listen on
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: the iHeart app or they listen to the podcast. So
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: it's easy to get stories out to people because you
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: can hear from people and they have time to explain themselves.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: And you can cover stuff in more detail. And I
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: think you lose that when you lose local talk radio.
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: And then people can call and ask specific questions that
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: you might not have thought of, and you kind of
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: stir the imagination of people who didn't really know what
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: was going on. Maybe they don't read the newspaper anymore.
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: Maybe they are.
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: Correct. And that's how things like the library sneak by.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Exactly right. And you can't.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: As much as they talk about podcasts and this kind
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: of stuff, other than Joe Rogan and that kind of stuff,
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: for the most part, Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, the big names... Most,
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: like if they're regional or local podcast, I mean, we
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: get a lot of listenership to our podcast when we
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: post it. We've been having some problems with our IT,
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: so I think they finally got them sorted out. So
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: a lot of people were upset with that. But we
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: are successful at our podcast posts because of the radio program.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: You follow me?
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: The people who aren't able to hear the program live
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: listen to it on a podcast. But most podcasts don't
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: have that many listeners or viewers. At all, if you
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: look at it. It's a very small audience. and that's
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: the benefit since you know radio. Radio listenership is huge,
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: and it's huge because it's free.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: You don't have to pay for it. You don't need
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: a cable.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: It's easy to get to and all this kind of stuff,
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: whether it's music or whether it's talk radio. It's free,
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: so it's huge.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: You sold advertising.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: I think it's the most effective advertising.
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: Absolutely.
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: I used to say to people, I just say to people,
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: even if you advertise and you do three commercials during
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: the day, the same people are listening. They will hear
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: that commercial three times because they are listening. They don't
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: change the channel. They just go from one program to
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: the next a lot of times. And I just, while
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: we're on the topic, I want to... say that I
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: really like Michael DiGiorno.
• 36:36
  Speaker 9: In the morning.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: He's excellent, yeah.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: If anybody hasn't listened to him from 6 to 9,
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: he's excellent. I learn a lot. He's funny. He's got
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: ADD like a lot of radio people do.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: But even if you listen, like, you know, when I
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: evaluate things, just in my opinion, I think Armstrong and
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: Getty are way better than Clay and Buck. I think
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty are way better than Clay and Buck.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: They're kind of knuckleheads. They're kind of a couple-of-guy knuckleheads.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: But they're pretty good.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: I'm not a big fan of Clay and Buck. I
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: never have been, but I thought Rush Limbaugh was excellent
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: on that.
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: And Sean Hannity, obviously, is the king because he's on
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: like 600 stations or something along those lines. So network
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: programming has its place, but it's pretty much– When a
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: company owns a network, they want to get that kind
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: of stuff out. So all I'm saying is local talk
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: shows are an endangered species, and everybody's getting older and
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. And not to sound like a goofball,
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: but you would know it's not an inexpensive undertaking. People
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: might find this hard to imagine. I don't show up
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: for free. And it's been very good to me.
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: And, you know, it's hard to replace. It's hard to
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: replace somebody like you or like Dan because you need
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: somebody who's been around for a long time and knows
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: the history. You can't, like the library lady, you can't
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: just throw somebody in who has no ties to the community,
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: doesn't know anything about the past or what happened 20
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: years ago or whatever.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: But I've always taken, you know, before I was here,
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: I've always done the same thing. I've always, you know,
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: I'll have guests on from time to time, but very infrequently.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: And I've usually have always taken calls from listeners. And
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: I've never been able to figure out why so many
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: radio talk shows, whether network or local, are afraid to
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: do that. Or too nervous to do that. And I've
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: never been able to figure that out. But it is
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: what it is.
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: A control thing. It's a control thing. And the risk.
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: The risk of what they're going to say. And, you know,
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: some of them just don't want to take that risk.
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: I'll just leave you with that.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: You're actually pretty smart. I mean, I've got to confess.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, you kind of know what you're talking about.
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: I'm always underestimated.
• 39:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: Well, guess what? I'm always overestimated. Believe me, I'm much
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: dumber than you would think. Thank you for your call, though.
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: I got to go.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Back after this, NewsRadio 570 WKBN and Ron Furb from
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: the kingdom of Mahoning.
• 39:32
  Speaker 9: Hi there, this is 570 WKBN.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: And your fearless leader, Ron Furb, you're on the air.
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: Yes, Ron. Hey, I just want to make a quick
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: statement about Trump.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: I'm just going to have to give him the benefit
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: of the doubt. I think he meant well. for the
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: country and the world of what he got into. Maybe
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: he got duped by Israel. I don't know. But I
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: just have to give him a little break on this
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: and say he thought he was doing the right thing.
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: He got duped, probably. But I think he meant well
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: in what he's doing. And I have to cut him
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: a little break on that. And I know things aren't
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: going good. But if I was him, I would say, okay,
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: we're going to bomb the crap out of them and
• 40:19
  Speaker 6: then get out of there. That's it. If they don't
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: want to come to the table, we're done. That's what
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: I would do if I was Mr. Donald J. Trump.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Thank you for short and sweet. I appreciate it.
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: All right. Have a good night, Ron.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: You're on the air.
• 40:35
  Speaker 11: Hello?
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 40:37
  Speaker 11: Ron, I got a question to ask, and maybe one
• 40:42
  Speaker 11: of your smart listeners will understand. know the answer to it.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 40:46
  Speaker 11: I'm one of your 94-year-old young persons.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: 94? You better get the question out. Who knows how
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: much longer you got?
• 40:55
  Speaker 11: Yeah, that's for sure. Anyhow, this is an article written
• 40:59
  Speaker 11: about birthright citizenship by Edward J. Erler. E-R-L-E-R.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: All right, what's your question?
• 41:07
  Speaker 11: And he states that birthright citizenship... It's not birthright by birth.
• 41:16
  Speaker 11: It's citizenship by law. And it goes on to say,
• 41:20
  Speaker 11: all persons born of naturalized U.S. citizens or U.S. people
• 41:30
  Speaker 11: are subject of the jurisdiction. And then he goes on
• 41:36
  Speaker 11: to explain what they meant by jurisdiction in the Constitution.
• 41:43
  Speaker 11: means owning exclusive allegiance to the U.S. He said that's
• 41:48
  Speaker 11: the reason why Indians didn't join the Union, because their
• 41:53
  Speaker 11: allegiance was to their tribe and not to the U.S.
• 41:58
  Speaker 11: And I would like to know if that's true, and
• 42:00
  Speaker 11: if that is true, why don't they get all these
• 42:03
  Speaker 11: politicians down that are asking for communism and socialism, and
• 42:15
  Speaker 11: get them expelled, expel their citizenship, and get them out.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: Of the country.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: All right, old-timer. Duly noted. I'll see if anybody has
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: any reaction to it. Hang in there, all right? Stay healthy.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: I'll be right back. Looking to upgrade your bathroom? Hi,
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: this is Rob.
