• 0:13
  Speaker 2: 570 WKBN. It's already Wednesday. What is it? It's a
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: nice day, too. I mean, it's overcast. My kind of day.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Sun isn't beating down on you. It's overcast today. Got
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: a breeze, 75 degrees. It's comfortable. Ron Furt from the
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Kingdom of Mahoning on News Radio 570. D.O.D.Q.B.N. You're on
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: the air.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Hi, Ron.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: Pleasantville Patriot here.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: I heard Frank talking about the bailout to the farmers.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: But I never hear him talking about the Stacey Abrams
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: fake nonprofit getting $ 2 billion or all of the... crazy
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: grants under the Farm Bureau, or excuse me, the Farm Bill,
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: like Ducks Unlimited, getting $ 300 million a year for $ 40
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: trillion in debt, $ 2 trillion in deficits, spending a trillion
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: a year in interest on the debt. I never hear
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: the Franks of the world talking about their plan to
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: balance the federal budget to start paying down this massive debt.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: And can you imagine if we just paid down a
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: trillion dollars a year?
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: It'd take 40 years.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: It's just crazy. And nobody is talking about these things
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: and praising Trump for the billions and billions of fraud
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: that he's exposed that's going to save us billions down
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: the road. And there's just like a report every day of,
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: you know, another two, three, four billion that they found
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: in fraud. And I don't think at the end of
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Trump's four years, they're still going to find it all.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: It's so deeply entrenched. And how about all the states
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: that won't cough up their voter rolls, won't cough up
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: their information on you know, that Medicare and all of
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: the other federal programs, to me, it should be mandatory
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: that if the federal government's going to hand you money,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: it has to be audited and you have to turn
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: over all of the information of the recipients to the
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: federal government. How else can you keep track of all
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: this stuff? So I just want to hear all of
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: the liberals, the Trump haters, I want to hear their
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: plan for balancing our federal budget and paying down this massive.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: But I will say this, whether you're a Trump lover
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: or hater or Republican or Democrat, here's my observation and
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: what is your reaction to it. Listen, with all reality,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Trump is adding significantly to the debt deficit. I'll spin back,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: as I said before. I supported Elon Musk and what
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: he was doing and all that he was exposing, 100%.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: And I honestly believe when they were saying they could
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: come up with maybe $ 2 trillion a year in wasteful spending,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: that doesn't surprise me at all. You know, the military
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: or the defense budget has never been able to go
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: through an audit. We really can't account for where all
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: this money is going. But negative for Trump is he
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: went from $ 900 billion in defense to $ 1. 5 trillion. That's
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: all of our discretionary money. And I don't buy that
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: we should be taking our discretionary money and spending it
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: all on the military because we do have significant problems.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: We do have poor people in the country. And we
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: do have other issues besides the military that have to
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: be dealt with. whether that's bolstering up Social Security or
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Medicare or Medicaid. There are other issues. So I don't
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: agree with him going from $ 900 billion to $ 1. 5 trillion
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: because you're ignoring issues that do affect the American public
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and American people. in some places where money is needed.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: With that being said, he's adding to the debt and
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: deficit at a pretty good level, just as the Democrats
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: have done. And you take a look, not just Trump,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I'm not just talking to President, Look at Congress. Look
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: at the Republicans and Democrats in Congress over the years.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I am convinced none of these people give a damn
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: about this $ 40 trillion that we're in debt, which is
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: really more than that. I don't think any of them
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: give a damn about it. They haven't done anything about it.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: They continue to spend more money than we take in.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: They attacked Elon Musk to run him right out of
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the Democrats attacked him. firebombed his dealerships, keyed his customer cars,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: ran him right out of town. And I don't think
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: you'll ever see anybody take on, with the technology and the...
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: And the money that Musk had, I don't think you'll
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: see anybody do the job that Doge was doing to
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: go through all this wasteful government spending or technology that
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: was outdated to try to fix this problem and find
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: all the fraud and waste because they ran that man
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: out of Washington, D.C. The Democrats were successful at doing that,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: but the American public will pay a dear price for
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: that waste, fraud, and abuse continuing. And the Republicans are
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to blame for adding to it and not doing enough
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: as well, including having pork in their districts. So I
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: honestly believe the country will go bust. And all of
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: these people that made these decisions will get their retirement,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: their benefits, and their health care, and they won't be
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: affected by it. But every average citizen will potentially be
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: affected by it, whether you're on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: or just working with investments. That is what my concern is.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Your comments?
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Well, first of all, you might have not heard Trump
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: when the tariffs— were put in place, the billions and
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: billions that this country took in due to those tariffs
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: that will help the debt and the deficit, that's a
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: ton of money. All the money, the fraud money that
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: is no longer being sent out to the fraudsters, that's
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: all saving the American people money. He's doing more drilling,
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: all of the mining exploration, all of those things contribute
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: to our federal financial health. So all those things have
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: to be taken into consideration. And the cost savings from
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: not letting 10 million people flow in here in this
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: four years, as Biden did, the billions of billions that
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: cost us. So we've got to step back and look
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: at the full picture of all of the issues. But
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: I agree, there are too many rhinos, there are too
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: many Republicans, and almost all Democrats that are getting behind
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: all these crazy grants to these nonprofits or so-called nonprofits
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: and just... Companies that don't need them, and then they
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: get nice big campaign contributions and pats on the back
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: and awards and their pictures in the paper. It's just
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: a cycle, and it's sickening. And you're right. It doesn't
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: affect them because they've got the pensions and the paychecks.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: the benefits, and they're covered for life. So we've got
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: to root these folks out, expose them. I'd love to
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: see a list of every congressman and senator that helped
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: somebody get a grant, and if the campaign contributions came
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: flowing in from that recipient.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: That stuff has to happen. Would you agree, like, I
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: agreed with Thomas Massey. I don't believe we can afford
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: to give any country foreign aid because we're trillions in
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: the hole and growing at an astronomical rate. First and foremost,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: you can't fix this problem until you do some drastic
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: cutting in spending. And when I talk about cutting in spending,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not talking about Social Security. I'm not talking about Medicare.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: These are earned benefits. I'm not talking about slashing defense,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: although defense should be able to pass a budget that
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: shows where this money is going. It just can't be
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: accounted for. So and I don't see I don't see Republicans.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Do you see the Republicans codifying all the executive orders
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: that Trump put out there, which they have not done?
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: So if you get a Democrat elected, he'll just erase
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: everything with with the pen he brings into office. This
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: is where the Republicans have failed. They haven't put it
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: codified the executive orders. They haven't made them in the law.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: They have been sitting there with a majority doing not
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: doing a damn thing to codify those executive orders. So
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I blame them on that. I blame them on wasteful spending.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: I blame them on increasing the debt and deficit. I
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: blame them on not supporting Doge and fighting for it
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: and keeping it alive and actually trying to cut spending.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: But the Republicans, as well as the Democrats, were even worse.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: The Democrats just want to spend more money and think
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: you can tax the living hell out of everybody and
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: that'll solve the problem. You cannot... I am so discouraged
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: with the issue that you're talking about because why are
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: we giving billions to Egypt when we know we have
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: a problem in Social Security in under 10 years? I
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: would rather a billion dollars go into that program for
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: senior citizens, period.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: No, 100%. I mean, we cannot be handing out these
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: massive grants, low-interest loans that directly compete against the private
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: sector lenders. I'm in the real estate business, and we
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: have to compete against the Pennsylvania Game Commission that has
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: no limits on the amount per acre they can buy land.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: They're building a massive empire in Pennsylvania, all tax-free at
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: our expense. They're taking in $ 100 million to $ 200 million
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: a year from oil, gas, minerals, and they pay zero
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: income tax. If that was a private company, you'd be
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: in the 50% tax bracket. And they're competing. You know,
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: we talk about the subsidized grocery stores in New York City.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: That's nothing.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: These big conservancies and land trusts, they're getting government grants
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: to buy land, building empires. They have no limits on
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: the salaries of their CEOs and their employees, and they're
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: directly competing against the private sector. And don't ever forget this.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Ron.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Our economy is built on the tax revenue from private property.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Our municipalities, our cities, our townships, our boroughs. And there's
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: so much tax-exempt property out there because of the nonprofits
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: and government agencies. We have counties in Pennsylvania that are
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: over 50% of their land is in government or nonprofit
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: funded by government ownership.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: How is that even possible? Well, as you're talking, it
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: frustrates me. Like, for example, in Youngstown, Well, it's subsidized
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: by the taxpayer because it's taxpayer money and it doesn't matter.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: So we will build a brand new home in Youngstown
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: and Warren in these areas for $ 300, 000. But you can come,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: as long as you agree to live in it for
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: five years, we'll sell it to you for $ 180, 000. Why
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: am I subsidizing that? I mean, what business? This is insanity.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: So if I want to build that home, I got
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: to pay $ 300, 000 for it. When did this become a
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: government program? When did we say we're going to use
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: our tax dollars to subsidize a new home built in
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Youngstown for somebody to buy that they will own as
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: long as they stay in it five years, and then
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: they can sell it and they can get their equity
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: out of it? How does that make sense?
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: It greatly distorts the free market system.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: And it creates an uneven playing field and it's got
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: to stop. Nonprofits are getting into the private sector business world.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: They're completely subsidized, tax exempt. You cannot compete with them.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: It's not possible.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: And we're paying the bill for this.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: And it's going on.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Redevelopment authorities over here in Pennsylvania are building empires inside
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: city limits, buying up properties with government grants, refurbishing them,
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: and then pay themselves to be the landlords. And they
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: never put them back into the private sector and on
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: the tax rolls. And it's just absolutely sickening.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: When I hear this term nonprofits, oh, it's a nonprofit.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: But it's really not a nonprofit. It's just tax dollars.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: And all of these people that are in these roles
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: make exorbitant salaries in these nonprofits.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Exactly. And we're getting zero tax revenue from them.
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: From their buildings, from their profits. Zero, but they just
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: pay themselves unlimited salaries. And, I mean, if you saw
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: how the Pennsylvania Game Commission works over here, they own
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: 1.7 million acres. They're spending $ 5, 000, $ 10, 000, $ 15, 000 an acre
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: on land, and nobody can compete with them. They have
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: no limits. They're kind of a quasi-government agency, and then
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: we have our state spending $ 20 to $ 30 million a
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: year handing to all these so-called nonprofit conservancies and land
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: trusts buying up land. We're losing 30,000 acres of private
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: property every year in Pennsylvania, and that is our lifeblood.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: You know, the natural resources that come from that land,
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: it's off limits forever for a new home. And in Pennsylvania,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: one new home on an acre of land will bring
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: in as much tax revenue annually as 1,000 acres of
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: government or these NGO conservancy-owned lands.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Why are they buying?
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: 1,000 acres, one new home. But those lands are now
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: off limits forever. They'll never have a new home built
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: on them. and they'll never be bought and sold again.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: We have what, in Pennsylvania, I don't know what Ohio has,
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: a 2% transfer tax on every property that's sold. Vacant,
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: a home, a business, it doesn't matter, 2%. That's gone
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: forever when these NGOs and government agencies buy the land.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: And that's off the floor with transfer tax money that
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: comes into the township. The school district and the state
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: is gone forever when they buy the land.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Why are they buying all this land? What's the motivation?
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: They say it's for conservation purposes, but they never say
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: how much is enough. And like I said, we have
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: counties that over 50% of their land, we have townships
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: over 80% of their land is owned by either a
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: government agency or a nonprofit funded by government. You can't function.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: You can't maintain the roads, police, all of that if
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: this continues. And we're paying for it. Like I said,
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: $ 20 to $ 25 million a year in what they call
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: C2P2 grants from our Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: It's just sickening. And then you've got the Game Commission
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: and the state and sometimes the federal government also out
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: there buying up private property, directly competing with the private sector.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: It's just staggering what's going on over here. But anyway,
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: that's my thoughts for the day. But these grants have
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: to stop. We're $ 40 trillion in debt. We can't be
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: handing out money to anybody. Let the free market system work.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: Everybody be on an even playing field.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Stop spending so damn much money. The government has got
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: to cut back dramatically.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: You know, like Reagan said, can you grow your way
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: out of it? potentially, we are at a number, when
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: we're into this trillions of dollars, our second biggest expense,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: as I tell people, is just the interest on the debt.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: So we take in roughly $ 4. 5 trillion a year in
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: federal tax revenue, income tax revenue. So think of how
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: much of that money a year is just out to
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: pay interest, not to lower the obligation. So if interest
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: rates go up, if the Fed raises interest rates, or
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: even if they don't and we continue to add trillions
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: to it, it will soon overtake our number one expense.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: which is just, and what do you get for it? Nothing.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Nothing.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: You're paying interest. And you're strapping future generations with this debt.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: And at some point, the crap's just got to hit
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: the fan. But I don't see over my years, and
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I would say this to you, I don't see anyone
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: giving a damn about it and aggressively doing anything about it,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Democrats and Republicans. It's as though it doesn't exist. It's
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: as though it doesn't matter to any of them. They
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: keep talking about, we're going to get billions here and
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: billions there and billions here. And it's like, where's that
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: money coming from? We're borrowing it to give it away
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: to some other country? And at the same time, these
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: guys are saying, maybe we need to raise the retirement
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: age to 70 so you die before you collect it.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: We're screwing our own people. This is insanity. You have
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: really been an eye-opening call on this that's going on.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: This is the first I've ever heard of it. But
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: it's lunacy what you're telling me as far as what
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: they're doing. It doesn't make a damn bit of sense.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: You got it. All right. Thank you, man. Appreciate it.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, that is just like you say. How does
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: it make any sense? When did we get a taxpayer
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: program to say we're going to build new homes in
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: the city? And we're going to pay this cost because
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: this is what it costs to build it. But we're
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: not going to sell it for that amount. We're going
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: to sell it for way less than that to somebody.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: So the taxpayers are, how did that become a program?
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Give your home an energy upgrade with new Triple U KBN.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: All right, Ron, pay attention. NewsRadio 570, WKVN, Ron Ferb,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: you're on the air.
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: Ron, I'll make it brief. He had an options trader
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: call and said that options guy would never buy call
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: options and never buy put options. I just want to
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: say to the guy, on the day SpaceX went public,
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: options guy lectured me.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I don't want to go on.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: I'm done.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: I don't want to get into this. I don't. You're
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: on the air. Hello.
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: Hi, Ron.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, geez.
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: I didn't know if that was on there or not. Anyhow,
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: I just have to say I really like what Ted
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: the conservative said today. And anyhow, I see a lot
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: of people at the stores buying all kinds of junk
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: and all these restaurants open buying all kinds of food
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: that's very expensive. Maybe we need to get poor. to
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: appreciate more of what we do have. Anyhow, that's all
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: I wanted to say. Thank you, Ron.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Thank you for calling. She ratcheted me around her finger
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: with that sweet little old voice. I can't say anything bad.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: You're on the air.
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: Ron?
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Ron?
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Now, this is the exact opposite. That old, sweet, little
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: voice that that woman had to wrap around her finger,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: and then the boss lady comes.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: Rockin' up, she is so sweet.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: And now the troublemaker. Yes, what is it that you
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: have to add?
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: I really do not have.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: Anything to add. I mean, I thought all the polls
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: were good today, and I.
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: Heard all of that non-profit. You know, I can't stand it.
• 19:02
  Speaker 9: There is no such thing as a non-profit.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: Correct.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Correct. That is 100% correct. But you saw the Democrats
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: did what they could do to prevent Musk from continuing on.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: They ran him out of Washington. They were successful in it.
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: Well, and I, oh yeah, absolutely. And every single state
• 19:39
  Speaker 9: needs Joe just like the federal government did. You know.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: What's the latest in Poland Township?
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: Well, I was... to hear the outcome. I know they
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: were meeting today. I think it was today. I think
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: they were meeting today. I don't know. I think they're
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: going to have to do some planning together. Maybe they're
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: meeting with the accountant.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: The fiscal officer.
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: And hopefully they get it together and come up with
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: a plan.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: I don't know what.
• 20:12
  Speaker 9: Reductions they're going to have to make. It sounded like
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: the county passed out some money in the past week.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: It looked like.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: Most of it went to the schools because the bills
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: aren't due, so the schools are all freaking out. I
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: know Poland Township obviously was waiting for money to come in.
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: I don't know if it ever came in or not,
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: but it's.
• 20:34
  Speaker 9: You know, our county is sitting on, I thought the
• 20:36
  Speaker 9: last time I looked, maybe $ 50 million or something like that.
• 20:39
  Speaker 9: So I think they probably had enough to help close
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: the gap. I don't know.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: And they didn't make the deadline for their police levy,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: did they?
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: No, they didn't make the deadline, so that's a no-go.
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: You know, maybe they'll get it corrected. You know, and
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: all of those projections were based off the spending that
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: had already been realized up through, what is it now, August. So,
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: you know, next year, if they build a sound budget,
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: maybe next year they wouldn't need one. I mean, I
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: don't know. So they're going to have to sit down
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: with PJ and get their ducks.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: They very well might need one. Although I will say this.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: When you were talking about what your thoughts were about
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Poland Township Police and all that kind of stuff, you know,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: because of my son in that profession, it doesn't work
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: in that department or anything, he said that that is
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: not bad staffing that they have there, that probably making
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: those cuts would not be a good idea. He actually
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: looked at it and he said, I think they have
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: the right amount of people there, and I don't think
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: you can cut anybody, is what he said.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean..
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: Maybe the raw numbers make sense. I'd have to see
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: the calls.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: There's a lot to policing. Policing is a deterrent, too.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: It isn't always about how many calls you're there to deter.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: But it's not a huge department. And you've got a chief.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: You've got a detective. You've got... One or two guys
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: a shift. You've got vacation. You've got vacation. You've got call-offs.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: You've got to have a staff, like he said, for
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There's a
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: lot going on there, and it's not that big a
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: staff to cover that. I'm just saying my son said
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: he thought Poland Township had the right. It was not overstaffed.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Stand by, boss lady. Stand by. I'll come back with
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: her and more. We're here until 6. Ron Verb from
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: the Kingdom of Mahoning.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: News Radio 570 WKVN.
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: A man who was out on bond after being charged
• 22:50
  Speaker 10: with rape earlier this year is now being accused of
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: another sexual assault. Whitehall police say Devon McBroom attacked a
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: woman at a UDF store on East Main Street early
• 23:01
  Speaker 10: Tuesday morning. The initial rape charges McBroom picked up in
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: February are still pending as well. Officers say he is
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: back in custody. Meantime, a suspect in custody after the
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: fatal shooting of a man behind a Cleveland auto shop.
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: 44-year-old Aaron Forster was found shot near East 55th and
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: Lexington Avenue.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: He later died at the hospital.
• 23:21
  Speaker 10: 28-year-old Matthew Cooperwood has been arrested on a murder charge.
• 23:25
  Speaker 10: Two people are in custody after a double shooting yesterday
• 23:28
  Speaker 10: afternoon in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Avondale. The incident happened
• 23:31
  Speaker 10: near Purdue Street and Forest Avenue, and the victims survived
• 23:34
  Speaker 10: the shootings and remain in the hospital.

• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb. On NewsRadio 570 WKBN. All right. Back
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: to NewsRadio 570 WKBN. So that was my comment to you,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: boss lady.
• 24:02
  Speaker 9: Yes, but all I got to say is this. We
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: are four states today in Poland with the additional police
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: officers than we were 10 years ago, with less.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: How many do you need on day shift when virtually
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: nothing happens?
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: And listen to me when I tell you. You want
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: to know what the biggest deterrent is in Poland?
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: You?
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Your phone is breaking up on me. Your quality is
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: just god-awful.
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: That's because I'm on my way to bowling.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: To what? Wait a minute. Let me get this straight.
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: I shouldn't have told you.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no. Forget everything we were talking about. You,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: the boss lady tonight, this is your Wednesday night. What
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: are you like, Lenny?
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: I'm in bowling league. And then in about four weeks,
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: I switch to Thursday night.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: What are you, you going with Lenny and Squiggy from?
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: No, I throw the balls hard after I get done
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: off the call with you.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: What's your average?
• 25:10
  Speaker 9: Oh, I'm stuck, Ron. I never had a lesson. It's
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: only my second year. Like a 135, I think. Terrible.
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: But I can bowl a 165 one game and then
• 25:20
  Speaker 9: like a 110 the next.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: So, you know, I'm inconsistent.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I choke.
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: I choke.
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: And I can't even stand it.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: You've taken up bowling last year? Yeah. I mean, how
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: did this come up? Was this your husband talking?
• 25:35
  Speaker 9: No, my girlfriend, one of my best friends from high school.
• 25:37
  Speaker 9: We've been friends for 30 years.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: He got me roped into.
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: This bowling thing, and now I actually like it.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: It's fun.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: So do you have your own shoes?
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: Yes, of course.
• 25:48
  Speaker 9: They're cute, too. And I got a cute ball that
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: smells like black cherry.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you got your own bag, your own ball.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Do you have your lettered shirt on the back, you know,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: with your team on it?
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: Oh, no, I ain't doing all that.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: But I got to have my own ball, and I
• 26:05
  Speaker 9: thought of using somebody else's shoes makes me broke.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, so like when you walk into the lanes, do
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: you look like you mean business? I mean, do you
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: look like..
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: No, we're usually just... No, I'm laughing usually.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Well, this is a competition. This is a bowling league.
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: No, we whisper a lot to each other, like, man,
• 26:29
  Speaker 9: we better pick it up here. You know, we say
• 26:31
  Speaker 9: some stuff, but the women are so friendly. We need
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: to be like that.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Are you able to pick off a spare?
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Are you working on your game at all?
• 26:43
  Speaker 9: Of course I am. Yes. I want to get a lesson.
• 26:46
  Speaker 9: So if any of y'all out there are bowling instructors.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Do you go practice? Why don't you say with your
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: husband on the weekend, hey, let's go bowling. Have you
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: ever approached him?
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: We go bowling on the weekend.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: And does he?
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: Yeah, we go. We probably go five times this summer.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. Do you often go across the line where it says, oh,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: you slid too far?
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: No.
• 27:07
  Speaker 9: Come on, that's for rookies. I do have one year
• 27:10
  Speaker 9: under my belt.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: When was the last time you got a strike?
• 27:15
  Speaker 9: Oh, every, I mean, last time I probably had five
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: strikes last game. Last week, I bowled three games a week.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, now I'm going to check your.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Five in one game.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I'm going to check your.
• 27:25
  Speaker 9: Four in one game and three spares.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I'm going to check your bowling knowledge. I'm going to
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: see how much you know. Who's Dick Webber?
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: I have no idea who that is.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: You have no idea?
• 27:36
  Speaker 9: No, I don't know.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know who he is.
• 27:39
  Speaker 9: Is he good at bowler?
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: So you have absolutely no idea. You call yourself a bowler.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: I don't call myself.
• 27:47
  Speaker 9: A bowler at all.
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: I told you I suck.
• 27:50
  Speaker 9: I'm not very good. It's just fun, though. And I
• 27:53
  Speaker 9: am super competitive, so I don't like to lose. But,
• 27:55
  Speaker 9: I mean, this has humbled me.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: He's probably Dick Weber. You know, when I think about it,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: he's probably one of the– most famous bowlers of all time.
• 28:03
  Speaker 9: Oh, I don't know any about that, no.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, shouldn't you be studying? Shouldn't you
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: be reading a book? You know, if Dick Weber wrote
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: a book, you know, how to roll a strike and
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff?
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: Well, I mean, I'm taking up quite a bit, I
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: will tell you.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: I think this is more of a social event for
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: you than actually taking it as a killer sport. You're
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: in a league. The league is depending on you.
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: Well, I mean, you know, we were, okay, listen, we
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: were in third place. So just so you know. And
• 28:37
  Speaker 9: then we were probably, I don't know if we're fourth
• 28:40
  Speaker 9: place right now.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: And you know what? That's only three spots out of
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: being number one.
• 28:45
  Speaker 9: So you're the first or last, Bobby?
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Right. Doesn't matter. Second is still losing.
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: Now, if this.
• 28:53
  Speaker 9: Was like a sport that I played in high school,
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: I would totally agree with you because I.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Was Now, are you drinking and eating during this?
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: I don't drink. No, I don't drink. I mean, listen
• 29:06
  Speaker 9: to me. I'm going to tell you something. Want to
• 29:07
  Speaker 9: know a secret? There are some women there that are
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: in their 70s, and they have a ball. And let
• 29:13
  Speaker 9: me tell you, they probably got four or five down
• 29:16
  Speaker 9: by the end, and they bowl better.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: So are you eating barbecue chips?
• 29:23
  Speaker 9: No, I don't eat barbecue chips. We like fried mushrooms,
• 29:27
  Speaker 9: and once in a while.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: We'll get those.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. That's it? You go to a bowling
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: alley and you get fried mushrooms?
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: It's pretty gross, isn't it?
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: And do you at least have a... Pepsi?
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I get Diet Coke.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, excuse me.
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: Coke Zero. They don't have my Coke Zero.
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: You know that's my choice.
• 29:47
  Speaker 9: That's my type of choice.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: You get a Diet Coke and some mushrooms?
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: Yes, they're delicious. And they're fried. So, I mean, if
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: there's something wrong with them, they're fried. It kills everything.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Folks, this is just shocking to me.
• 30:03
  Speaker 9: I shouldn't have told you.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't even have told you. Shocking to all of
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: you that this unknown side of the boss lady has
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: come out, that she's going bowling tonight. When I think
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: of bowling, guys, do you remember that show? What was
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: the show with Lenny and Squiggy? What the hell was
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: the name of it? Laverne and Shirley.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: You're like Laverne. Which one are you? Laverne or Shirley?
• 30:29
  Speaker 9: Can I be neither?
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: No.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: I don't want to pick. No, you're going bowling. You're
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: living the life. You got to pick it. And you
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: call yourself a bowler. And you don't know.
• 30:43
  Speaker 9: I will say.
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: I don't call myself anything.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: But listen, is.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: This better than bingo?
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: What if I.
• 30:49
  Speaker 9: Was going to bingo? This is better than that.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Well, you'll be going to bingo. It's just a matter
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: of time. Just give it time. You'll be going to bingo,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: and you don't even know who Dick Weber is. I mean,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: this is something. Now, how did you approach your husband
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: the first time to say, let's go bowling? Did he
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: go along willingly?
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: We went when we were. I mean, we've gone together
• 31:11
  Speaker 9: before all this bowling league set up. You know, yeah,
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: we've gone.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: I think I'm under the impression. Are you wearing the
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: pants in that relationship?
• 31:20
  Speaker 9: Oh, my God, Ron.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: Don't be, I can't, you know, I can't be saying
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: stuff on air. I can't, I can't give up all my,
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: but you know, wait, today is my anniversary.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: How many blissful years?
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: 26.
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: 26?
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, 26. 26. And are you in as much love
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: today as you were from day one, or has it grown?
• 31:50
  Speaker 9: Oh, I think it's grown even more, yeah, absolutely.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: What is there after 26 years that when you look
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: at that man that you married that makes you say, God,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: this has been fantastic?
• 32:09
  Speaker 9: Oh, I think, you know, we're great partners. With everything.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, because just from a listener's standpoint.
• 32:17
  Speaker 9: And he can handle me.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Right, just from a listener's standpoint.
• 32:20
  Speaker 9: Because, you know, I could be a lot.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. That's exactly what I was going to say.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: From a listener's standpoint, you would be a handful. You
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: would absolutely be a handful. It takes a special man
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: like him. He's seen, I've seen pictures. He's like a
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: man's man. Would you describe him as that?
• 32:36
  Speaker 9: Oh, everybody loves him.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's a handsome guy. He looks like he's
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: in good shape and that kind of stuff. And, you know,
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: that's the type of guy that I can't picture you
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: walking all over him. I picture him saying at some point, listen,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: boss lady.
• 32:56
  Speaker 9: You know, he's very big. He's laid back. I don't
• 32:59
  Speaker 9: really have to walk all over him because he's really
• 33:01
  Speaker 9: laid back. He doesn't really care. So, I mean, if
• 33:03
  Speaker 9: I want to do something, we do it. I earn
• 33:08
  Speaker 9: my keep, so there's that, right? So because I'm earning
• 33:11
  Speaker 9: my keep, he doesn't tell me no.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: So let's see. So you guys sometimes go bowling. Do
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: you ever stray and go to a drive-in movie?
• 33:21
  Speaker 9: We used to always go. Listen, this is the first
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: summer that we did not at least see three drive-in
• 33:26
  Speaker 9: movies so far.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 33:29
  Speaker 9: This summer has been so funky.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: This weather has been really funky. I was just telling
• 33:34
  Speaker 9: that to my friend Matt the other day. It's just
• 33:37
  Speaker 9: been a really weird summer.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: All right. Now, tell me about, is today your anniversary?
• 33:46
  Speaker 9: Today is, yeah.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: So let me get this straight. I just want to
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: get this in my head.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: I'm bowling.
• 33:50
  Speaker 9: I know what you're going to say. Well, let me
• 33:54
  Speaker 9: say it.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: What are you going to do to celebrate your anniversary?
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: You're going bowling.
• 33:58
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I know, but it is our league night, and
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: it's our last night, so I have to be there tonight.
• 34:04
  Speaker 9: But we're going to go do something on the weekend.
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: We normally always go away.
• 34:08
  Speaker 9: Um, every year we go away, we do, we do something.
• 34:11
  Speaker 9: But this year, uh, we just took the kids to
• 34:13
  Speaker 9: Florida the last weekend. We were in Italy. We're whatever.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: So we'll, uh, you.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Took the kids to Florida. What'd you do in Florida?
• 34:22
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:26
  Speaker 9: It's hard with both kids. Cause they're older.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Shouldn't there be some, uh, shouldn't you take out to
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: eat for your anniversary?
• 34:35
  Speaker 9: Oh, absolutely. We'll do something this weekend. Yeah, we're going
• 34:40
  Speaker 9: to do something this weekend.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: What do you think? You'll take you to Red Recon?
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: Hell no.
• 34:46
  Speaker 9: Listen, but I love, don't be, do not be, don't
• 34:49
  Speaker 9: dog on Red Recon.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: I love Red Recon.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: I'm speculating where you're going for your anniversary dinner.
• 34:55
  Speaker 9: We'll go somewhere nice. I don't know where we'll go,
• 34:58
  Speaker 9: but we'll go somewhere nice. A lot of good places.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you want to go to somewhere nice, like what,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Cracker Barrel?
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 35:06
  Speaker 9: No Cracker Barrel. Ron, I am not a chain person.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Listen, don't get this snooty attitude with me.
• 35:14
  Speaker 9: You still eat at Olive Garden over there. Don't tell me.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Don't you go getting snooty with me. You're the one
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: going bowling, all right? So do you think this weekend
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: where you'd be taking it, Cracker Barrel or Perkins?
• 35:26
  Speaker 9: No, what's the name of that place at Warren Country Club?
• 35:31
  Speaker 9: I can't remember that restaurant that's in there.
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: What about Scaccetti's? Or no, what's it called? Nicolini's.
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: I like Nicolini's.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: It's good.
• 35:42
  Speaker 9: It's all right.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: There's one in Austintown and one over there in Canfield.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, they got good food.
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: I like steamers a.
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: Lot, too.
• 35:54
  Speaker 9: Have you been to a steamer? You don't like seafood.
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: You've got a weird palate.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I absolutely... I'm not going to eat a lobster,
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: and I'm not going to have crab or none of
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: that stuff. Absolutely not. It's disgusting.
• 36:06
  Speaker 9: You're like chicken fingers and... It's in French fries.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: Mac and cheese for you.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: I remember when I had my anniversary and I said
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: to my wife, I said, let's go. I'm taking you.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: And it was great. I mean, it was very romantic.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: And I want you to listen to this because I
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: said to my wife, I said, it's our anniversary. I
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: want to take you out. I'm going to take you
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: out to where they prepare the food right in front
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: of you. And she said, God, am I looking forward
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: to this? And when we arrived at Subway and they were...
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: She was a little bit disappointed. She thought..
• 36:41
  Speaker 9: Oh, get out of here. You didn't take her to Subway.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Well, I said they would be preparing the food right
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: in front of you. She must have thought..
• 36:49
  Speaker 9: There's nothing wrong with a Subway sandwich.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 36:52
  Speaker 9: I forget which one I used to get.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: I used to get... I took her to the... What's
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: the number? I took her to the chicken place over
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: there on 224. What's... Chicken place. Yeah, what's the name
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: of that place with the chicken finger? No, the other one.
• 37:13
  Speaker 9: Oh, I can picture it. What the heck's the name
• 37:15
  Speaker 9: of that place? I know what you're talking about, though.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, over there by..
• 37:18
  Speaker 9: You know, Papa Gigi's is good right next to there.
• 37:21
  Speaker 9: And I don't like very many people's Italian food at all,
• 37:25
  Speaker 9: but Papa Gigi's actually has decent sauce.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: What did I have? Let's see. I was at the
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Medina County Fair over the weekend because I can't get
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: enough fare, and I had some great Italian food and meatballs.
• 37:42
  Speaker 9: Did you go to the Italian Fest downtown? I was
• 37:45
  Speaker 9: there for a little bit.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: No, no. Normally I do, but I didn't.
• 37:50
  Speaker 9: I got a bourgeois bowl, and it was delicious. That
• 37:54
  Speaker 9: was tasty.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. I didn't go. That was my cricket night.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: I think I'm in a cricket league. I am just
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: trying to picture this, folks. Here are this cost-saving... You know,
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: government watchdog woman who's a successful businesswoman and on top
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: of her game when it comes to looking at what's
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: going on in government. We talk about, boy, she'd be
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: great if she ran for office. And here she is
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: going bowling. It's like everything just all of a sudden changed.
• 38:31
  Speaker 9: Oh, come on now.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: Listen.
• 38:34
  Speaker 9: But I do want to say, you've been getting beat
• 38:36
  Speaker 9: up a little bit about your, you've been.
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: A little anti-Trump.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Raising canes.
• 38:41
  Speaker 9: Raising canes, yep.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:43
  Speaker 9: You've been getting beat up a little bit about Trump.
• 38:45
  Speaker 9: You've been a little fired up. And I just want
• 38:47
  Speaker 9: to tell you, I'm nervous too, but I am not
• 38:52
  Speaker 9: to the point where you are. I think you've got
• 38:56
  Speaker 9: some callers that are..
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Well, you're jet-setting off all the time. You're flying to Italy.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: You're flying to Florida. I mean, you know, people like
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: you aren't worried about the economy.
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 39:08
  Speaker 9: Yes, I am. What do you mean, no, I'm not?
• 39:10
  Speaker 9: And I'm going to tell you, if they raise the
• 39:12
  Speaker 9: Social Security age, you're going to see me... Listen, I'm
• 39:17
  Speaker 9: going to tell you, that will royally enrage me. Nothing
• 39:22
  Speaker 9: will make me angrier than that.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Now, here's my next question. When you and Mr. Boss
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Lady sit down to watch a TV show together, what
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: do you watch?
• 39:32
  Speaker 9: Right now, what are we watching?
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: Silo.
• 39:40
  Speaker 9: We watch Suits. I mean, we flew through that. I mean,
• 39:45
  Speaker 9: Game of Thrones. The new one, the House of Dragons,
• 39:48
  Speaker 9: we watched that.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: House of Cards, those kind of shows.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Well, this is all streaming stuff, right?
• 39:56
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, Amazon Prime or Netflix or Peacock.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: You can't give me like a normal show on normal TV.
• 40:08
  Speaker 9: No, because honestly, because most of them are sitcoms and
• 40:11
  Speaker 9: I don't find them funny. You have to be really
• 40:14
  Speaker 9: funny to make me laugh. Usually I don't like that
• 40:18
  Speaker 9: slapstick comedy.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: How about Seinfeld? Did you think Seinfeld was funny?
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 40:25
  Speaker 9: Sometimes I heard laugh, but.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Did you, okay. Did you bring any talcum to prepare
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: for bowling and stuff?
• 40:31
  Speaker 9: I mean, no, I don't got any talcum.
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: Oh my God.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Do you have like a wrist sweat? All right, boss lady.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: I hope you roll a 300. Talk to you later.
• 40:46
  Speaker 9: What more than just awareness for your business?
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: Talk Station 570 WKBN. All right, you're on the air.
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: Hello, Ron.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: I go back all the way to alligator adverb from
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: Austin Town.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: When you took over for Steve Hook.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: So that's how far I go back. And Karen from... Karen,
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: the businesswoman, businesslady. I call her Karen. I think she's
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: a Karen. But I think there's more things involved in politics.
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: The advertisements, they're spending millions, $ 30 million, $ 40 million on
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: all I hear is John Husted. I hear Sherrod Brown.
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: All this stuff is going on and on. What better
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: place could that money be placed somewhere else?
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: As far as their advertising for their campaigns? Yeah.
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: Why shouldn't you just go out and say, you know what,
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: shake people's hands and say, you know what, vote for
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: the best person? I know it puts a hurt on business.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: No, because for a number of reasons. See, you can't.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: You can't shake that many hands. I mean, what's the
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: point of it? Their point is to try to get
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: their message out to as many people as they possibly can,
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: and that's why they call it mass media, and that's
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: why they spend money on those ads, because you can't
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: shake everybody's hand. I mean, if you're running for governor
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: in Ohio or senator, my God, it'd be ridiculous.
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: Well, we have the Internet.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: So?
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: It's worldwide. It's everywhere. And it's free.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Not necessarily. A lot of people who do stuff on
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: the Internet do it on Facebook. It's very inexpensive, but
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: it's also not very effective. I mean, from a lot
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: of the research that we get here, it's not very effective.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: The best way to this date to still reach... The
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: largest amount of people will always be terrestrial television and radio, period.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: And there's a cost to that.
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: I understand that there's a cost to it, and that's
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: part of doing business.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: But Sherrod Brown's been sitting there for 32 years.
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: And he's still running on the same thing.
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: And all I.
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: Hear is back and forth, back and forth.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, but that doesn't mean you have to vote
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: for him. You're smart enough to figure that out. I'm
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: not going to vote for him. But there are people that..
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm not. I'm not either.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Well, there's people that agree.
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: But I just..
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: I started seeing it and hearing it. Like, everybody's like, oh,
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: this person did this.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: Amy Acton did that.
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: Everybody's doing this. Everybody..
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: It's a smear campaign.
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: Instead of... Everybody wants... Everybody that's campaigning..
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: Is trying to sell.
• 43:47
  Speaker 5: Something that they are not true to.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: Well, now they're trying to say vote for me as
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: opposed to the other guy. All right, I'm running out
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: of time. Thanks. You're on the air.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: Hey, Ron, how you doing?
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: I'm running short on time. Make your point. Good to
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: hear your voice.
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: Can you go for a good news story?
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: I saw a truck I wanted to look at, so
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: I went and looked at it. It was at Stadium GM.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: I had the best experience with a car dealer I
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: ever had. I don't like car dealers, Rod. Zero pressure.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: That's why I go there, and that's why we've done
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: business there, and that's why I'm proud to endorse them.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: And a matter of fact, I mentioned that to him.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: I was talking to the young father saying, I know
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: the guy on the radio talks about this. He used
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: to broadcast there. He said, hold on a minute. He
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: picked up my paperwork, went away, and when he came back,
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: he said, I got you a $ 500 discount for mentioning
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: that radio station.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: Call me tomorrow with more details. I'm out of time.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Will you do that? I want to hear about it.
