  Speaker 1: there's something you want to run up the flagpole and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: see if anybody salutes to quote a former guy, I'm

  Speaker 1: more than willing to do that for you, all right?
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: And so feel free to give me a call at 330-729-9977.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: You're on the air. Hello.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Hey, Ron.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: What's going on, brother?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Your comments. Your comments.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: My comment is this. I remember, was it Monday? You
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: guys were talking about a tornado went through Boardman.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I went through part of Austintown, Boardman, and Canfield, yes.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Right, right.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: So I was a little oblivious. I said, a tornado?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Because I live over here near Hubbard, Coitville, Youngstown area,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: and I knew there was a high wind, you know,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: and then I kind of did hear tornado sounders go off.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: So today I took my mom out towards Boardman, towards
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: the mall, And we got out there by that Brazier store,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Dairy Queen on Market Tree, brother. And I'll tell you what,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: the first thing we came up on was all those
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: telephone poles or, yeah, with the wires. All these electric
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: trucks are lined up, you know, lining up these poles.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: And I said, holy mackerel, what's going.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: To happen out here?
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: And then I cut down through Bortman Head toward Glenwood
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: by the Brazier store out there. It looked like a
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: bomb went off. I have never seen so many trees,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: and I'm talking big trees, that were split, laying in
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: people's yards. And I'm just blown. I said, what in
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: the world would happen? I mean, this was a wide...
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: area over there in.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: The uh summer oh yeah well it was it was
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: interesting it happened sunday afternoon as i spoke about yesterday
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: i took it head on over there at verb verb
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: manor and uh it was it was amazing the the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the rain it was coming down the wind that was
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: happening and uh it was just amazing and then you
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: lost power we were without power at our place for
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: about 36 hours or so so As I say to everybody,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and I said it yesterday, I said it again, we
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: have a generator that's not the whole house kind. It's
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a rather large one. It's an inverter generator, so it
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: protects your boards. It's an inverter generator. It's a gas run,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and so we started it up and plugged it into
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the side of our house so that our sump pump
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: would keep running. So many people in my neighborhood, this
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: is what I find frustrating. So many people have their
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: basement flooded. And just total issues as a result of
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: not being prepared. I mean, I mentioned it yesterday. I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: say it again today. When I got married, my father-in-law
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: is an electrician. And he told me if you got
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a sump pump, which we had when we built Verb Manor. 1996,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you must have a generator. He just emphasized because when
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: does your power go out? Usually during a thunderstorm when
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: it's raining and then your sump pump doesn't work. So consequently,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I got a generator right then and there. And I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: told people, yes, you can go to Harbor Freight. Sometimes
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: they got a coupon. You can buy a hell of
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: a generator for eighteen hundred dollars or two thousand dollars.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: That's that's a big you want a nice size one,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: plenty of watts so that you can run your refrigerator,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: your freezers, your sump pump, all the stuff that matters.
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: So.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: We started that up. We plugged it in and, uh,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and did ran for 36 hours. So we didn't have
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: to worry about a refrigerator, the food, there are freezers.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: We didn't have to worry about the sump pump not working.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And then I'm hearing from all these people, Oh man,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I lost all the food in the refrigerator. Their basements
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: have all has all this water in. They're just in
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: for a ton of headaches as far as, as far
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: as getting it fixed. And as far as their insurance
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: is concerned and, and all this kind of jazz because
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: of lack of preparation. I mean, you just got to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: be prepared for this kind of stuff. You should not,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: if you have a sump pump, you should have a generator, period.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: If you don't, Right. It's a big mistake, and hopefully
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: you never need to use it. And like I said yesterday,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: if you have a generator, listen, the best kind is
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: what Mike Craig puts in. You can have a whole
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: house one. They're going to cost you $ 12, 000 or whatever.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: But if you have one for a couple thousand and
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: you just get an electrician to put a transfer switch
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: in your house, it might cost you, what, $ 2, 500 with
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the generator and a switch?
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Well, all you do is plug it in on the outside,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and you don't have anything to worry about. Hopefully, you
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: never have to use it.
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: You're right, brother.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: But if you do, it's there for you.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: One more comment, if I could.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: It's interesting. Did you make the call? Do I have
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: your voice right? Because you connected so well with so
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: many people. And tell me if I'm right. Were you
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the guy who called me once and went and got
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: in a car for your mother-in-law or somebody?
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I came back, and I said, what the–
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: And I said, this place looks like it's just a dump.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: It's just a freaking dump around here.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you, folks, that this guy's call has
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: stuck with me. And I remember his call because so
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: many of the roads that we have, and listen, county
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: engineers doing a great job with the additional money he's
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: getting on fixing more roads than we've ever had fixed.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: But so many of our roads around here are just
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: deplorable as far as potholes are concerned or patching is concerned.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: And you're just bump, bump, bumping, all this kind of stuff.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: So this guy told me a story. You were coming
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: back from, where did you buy this car at?
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: I went to Apache Junction, Arizona, outside Mesa.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: You wanted to buy a used car that didn't have
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: any salt damage and that kind of stuff. And he
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: calls me, and he's driving all the way back. And
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: he says to me, I knew as soon as I hit...
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: my hometown. And I, and I said to you, how
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: did you know that? And you pick it up from there.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Pick it up there from our listeners.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Uh, I said, once I got outside of Akron and
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I have my Austin town and six, eight in the
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: young town, um, the roads, the roads were absolutely, absolutely dismal.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: The town just, uh, it was just overgrowth weeds and, uh, potholes.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: And I just said, now I understand why people come
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: here and they kind of look around. I mean, because we,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: you know, when you live here, you kind of don't
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: take it. So literally, I mean, I take care of
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: my mom's home and everything. So it doesn't look like that.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: And we get by, but we went, you know, I
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: went out and I came back in and I know
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: the car was like, why did you bring me here?
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Because the roads were actually, there was absolutely destructive roads. So, yeah,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: it put me in a state of limbo. Like, I
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: can't believe I, it's like the shroud was pulled off
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: my eyes, but Ron, that's all I can say. And
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: now they seem to be wanting to try to clean
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: it up as bad as they can. You know, they've
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: been cutting shrubbery and black copping like crazy. But, you know,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: it just took something like that to go out west
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: to come back in and see this.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: So it was like it was like the thing I
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: remember about his call was was he said, you know,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: this is where I grew up. This is my home
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and everything like that. But once I went out to
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Arizona and was driving back, you know, tell me if
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I get the quote right. He says, as soon as
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I got close to home, I realized it's a dump.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, I got pride. I grew up in the
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: traffic in few real days, Don Hanna and everything. And
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, I got some pride for Youngstown. Yeah, Youngstown
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: to me at one time was everything, a door park.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: But I came back and it's just a dump around here.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: And then it goes to your mind is, what are
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: these city people, these politicians doing with all the money
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: that they're getting? It's absolutely dismal. Did you go by
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: the park I told you about on Market Street? I
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: think it's Market Street, Indianola.
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: Did you go by there yet?
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Tell folks about it.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: There's never anyone there at this park. It's always empty.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: No old people sitting there, senior citizens. No kids riding around, nothing.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: And they must have spent $ 500, 000 to develop this dumb park,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: and I thought they were going to put a senior
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: citizen home there. So at least they can walk across
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: the street to the urgent care or whatever the medical
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: place is there. It's just the politicians here are just
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: absolutely pitiful. All they're doing is wasting our money. That's
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: all I can say. They're wasting our money. They just
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: don't know what they're doing, Ron. You would do a
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: better job. I would do a better job. I'd be
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: focusing on the road. I'd be focusing on, hey, take
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: some of them jailbirds down there, put them on the
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: cleanup crews, cleaning up the streets, you know, trash, all
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: this and all. Give the police department more money to
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: enforce the, you know, traffic laws around here and everything.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, you might be, I mean, I think I
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: told you, I have a property in Conneaut. Conneaut's a
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: depressed area, too. But you know what? They're strict with
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: their traffic laws. They're clean, you know, clean policies up there.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: I tell you what, you've got to give the city
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: of Columbia a lot of respect. They might tell you, yeah,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: we might be a poor town, but you would never
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: know it because we make sure every home is taken
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: care of, no trash and all that. So to say
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: to a young child, I blame the politicians.
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: They just..
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: They just don't care.
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: They just want a paycheck.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: You're right. Some of the asinine spending that was done
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: with this gift of this ARPA money that could have
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: been used so much more wisely. And you're saying, here
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: they put this money into this market in Indianola and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: you never see anyone playing in it. or doing anything,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: what a waste of money, which is 100% correct. Don't
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: we have a better need to spend that kind of
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: money on? But, I mean, it was so eye-opening for
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: this guy when he came back, when he went somewhere else. Well,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: many different states. He came back here and he looked
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: around and he said, I can't believe what I haven't
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: been seeing until I left. Now I realize the issues...
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: that we have in this fine community. And I just
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: thought that was a hell of a story. When you
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: told it. And any time I drive on a lousy
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: road today, that is the flashback I have is to
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: your call. That's why I brought that up. I can
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: hear your voice now in my head, like about all
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: the crappy roads.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: I go through Roswell, New Mexico. I stop at the
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: little UFO museum and everything. It's a little small, non-industrial town.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: And I came all the way through. And then, like
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: I said, things changed. Like, I got to Columbus. It's okay.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I get to Akron. It's okay. Once I got in
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: that 76 and crossed under 46 and hit that 680,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: it just went straight Twilight Zone. Listen, I'm glad I
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: busted your gut on that one. Please keep that memory.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Because I'm telling you, I never forgot it. I just
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: came in and called my own town. I said, this
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: place is a dump. Jesus. Hey, but I'll say one thing.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: The Slavic Fest I went to, great, great event. My
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: mom liked it down there. They have a great venue.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: I love pierogies. And for the first time ever, brother,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: the pastor that walks down when they have their ceremony,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to be out there sitting at a table
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: and meet my pierogi, and he comes over with the
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: holy water throwing it. And for the first time, Ron,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: he swashes the water, and it hits me right in
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: my eyeball, man. I'm trying to eat a pierogi.
• 12:31
  Speaker 9: I'm like, oh, you know.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I said, Jesus Christ, right in my eyeball, Ron. And
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: I told my mom, I said, well, Lisa, you know
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I ain't the devil because I didn't catch on fire
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: or anything, you know. But that was funny, man. That's
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: a great event. I love the festival.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I didn't know you were Slovak.
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: Oh, I'm not.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: But you know what? When it comes to good food, brother,
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: I don't turn it down. I can eat a good
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: potato or a good pierogi. You know, I'm an international flavor. Now,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: let me say this one thing, because I know you
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: got to go to your fun fest, the Little Rascals,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: because I love when they all come on there.
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: Listen.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: They are. Wait a minute. Hey, what if that one
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: black guy that was always calling, he doesn't call anymore.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Jesus Christ. The Fun Fest. I would love to get a,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: you know what would be so cool?
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, the Fun Fest.
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: You could get all.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: These guys together and have one of those cartoon paintings.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: You know, how they make the extreme faces and stuff.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: That would be a great portrait for your radio station.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: It would be. But listen, I'm going to say this.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: This Iran-Iraq war, or no, excuse me, Iran-Iraq war. I
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: mean U.S. and Iran. Listen, you want to solve this
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: because the Iranians, we all know, are a bunch of liars.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: They've always been liars, and that's the way it is.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: It's like dealing with the Nazis, okay? You've got to
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: break them. You've got to break them. And the only
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: way to break them, I hear everybody talking about, oh,
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: drop a nuclear bomb. No, no. You don't want to
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: be known for just mass killing like in World War II,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: not to say it was stupid. You know what I mean,
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: the carnage. They have what you call an EMP, electronic
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: magnetic pulse weapon. Knock out their electrical grid, but they
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: can't do anything. Blind them totally. Leave maybe one city
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: in operation. I guarantee you that'll bring them to the table.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Send them back to the dark ages.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: And you know what?
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: The buildings are still standing. They just don't have any
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: more electronics left. And that's how you bring them to
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: their knees. You ain't got to be blowing this up
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: and blowing that up. Just knock out their electrical system. Rod,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: great talking to you, bro. I'll talk to you again, man.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Take it easy. My belly's hurting, man. I got to
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: get off of here.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Stay tuned. A little rascal of characters, as you say,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: will be coming up. All right, man. See you. Oh,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: that guy's call stuck with me, man. I can remember
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: that like it was yesterday. NewsRadio 570. Welcome one and all.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, July 8th. We're sitting with 86 degrees. It's
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: humid outside today, to say the least. Definitely a humid day.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Call us on the line. Stand by. Let me pause
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: for these commercial messages. And then we'll come right back
• 15:10

  Speaker 1: 570 WKBN on this Wednesday. So it's always good to
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: be with you here. So much to discuss with you.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: If there's something you want to run up the flagpole
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: and see if anybody salutes to quote a former guy.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I'm more than willing to do that for you, all right?
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: And so feel free to give me a call at 330-729-9977.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: You're on the air. Hello. Hey, Ron. What's going on, brother?
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Your comments. Your comments.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: My comment is this. I remember, was it Monday you
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: guys were talking about a tornado went through Boardman's?
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I went through part of Austintown, Boardman, and Canfield, yes.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Right, right. So I was a little oblivious. I said
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: a tornado. Because I live over here near Hubbard, Courtsville,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Youngstown area. And I knew there was a high wind,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: you know. And then I kind of did hear tornado
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: sounders go off. So today I took my mom out
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: towards Boardman, towards the mall. And we got out there
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: by that Brazier store, Dairy Queen on Market Tree, brother.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you what, the first thing we came
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: up on was all those telephone poles or, yeah, with
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: the wires. All these electric trucks are lined up, you know,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: lining up these poles. I said, holy mackerel, what's going
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: to happen out here? And then I cut down through
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Bortman Head towards Glenwood by the Brazier store out there.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: It looked like a bomb went off. I have never
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: seen so many trees, and I'm talking big trees, that
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: were split, laying in people's yards. And I'm just blown.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: I said, what in the world would happen? I mean,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: this was a wide area over there in the summer.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. It was just wild. It was interesting. It
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: happened Sunday afternoon, as I spoke about yesterday. I took
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: it head-on over there at Verb Manor, and it was amazing, the...
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: the the rain it was coming down the wind that
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: was happening and uh it was just amazing and then
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: you lost power we were without power at our place
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: for about 36 hours or so so as i say
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: to everybody and i said it yesterday i said again
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: uh we have a generator that's not so the whole
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: house kind of kinds a rather large one that's An
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: inverter generator, so it protects your boards. It's an inverter
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: generator that's gas run. And so we started it up
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: and plugged it into the side of our house so
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: that our sump pump would keep running. So many people
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: in my neighborhood, this is what I find frustrating. So
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: many people have their basement flooded. And just total issues
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: as a result of not being prepared. I mean, I
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: mentioned it yesterday. I said it again today. When I
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: got married, my father-in-law is an electrician. And he told
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: me if you got a sump pump, which we had
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: when we built Verb Manor. In 1996, you must have
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: a generator. He just emphasized, because when does your power
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: go out? Usually during a thunderstorm when it's raining, and
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: then your sump pump doesn't work. So consequently, I got
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: a generator right then and there. And I told people, yes,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: you can go to Harbor Freight. Sometimes they got a coupon.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: You can buy a hell of a generator for $ 1, 800
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: or $ 2, 000. That's a big, you want a nice size one,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: plenty of watts. so that you can run your refrigerator,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: your freezers, your sump pump, all the stuff that matters.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: So So we started that up. We plugged it in
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and did RAM for 36 hours. So we didn't have
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: to worry about a refrigerator. The food there are freezers.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: We didn't have to worry about the sump pump not working.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: And then I'm hearing from all these people, oh, man,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I lost all the food in the refrigerator. Their basements
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: has all this water in. They're just in for a
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: ton of headaches as far as getting it fixed and
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: as far as their insurance is concerned.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: And all this kind of jazz because of lack of preparation.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, you just got to be prepared for this
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. You should not, if you have a
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: sump pump. you should have a generator period if you
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: don't right it's a big mistake and hopefully you never
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: need to use it and like i said yesterday if
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: you have a generator listen the best kind is what
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: my craig puts in you can have a whole house
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: one they're going to cost you 12 000 or whatever
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: but if you have one for a couple thousand and
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: you just get an electrician to put a transfer switch
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: in your house It might cost you, what, $ 2, 500 with
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the generator and the switch. Well, all you do is
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: plug it in on the outside, and you don't have
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: anything to worry about. Hopefully, you never have to use it.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: You're right, brother.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: But if you do, it's there for you.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: One more comment, if I could.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting. Did you make the call? Do I
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: have your voice right? Because you connected so well with
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: so many people. And tell me if I'm right. Do
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: you think I had called me once and went and
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: got in a car for your mother-in-law or somebody?
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. And I came back and I said, what the?
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: And I said, this place looked like. It's just a dump.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: It's just a freaking dump around here.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just can't tell you, folks, that this
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: guy's call has stuck with me. And I remember his
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: call because so many of the roads that we have,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and listen, county engineers doing a great job with the
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: additional money he's getting on fixing more roads than we've
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: ever had fixed. But so many of our roads around
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: here are just deplorable as far as potholes are concerned
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: or patching is concerned. and you're just bump, bump, bumping,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff. So this guy told me
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: a story. You were coming back from, where'd you buy
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: this car at?
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: I went to Apache Junction, Arizona, outside Mesa.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: He wanted to buy a used car that didn't have
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: any salt damage and that kind of stuff. And he
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: calls me. And he's driving all the way back. And
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: he says to me, I knew as soon as I
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: hit my hometown. And I said to you, how did
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: you know that? And you pick it up from there.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Pick it up there from our listeners.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: I said..
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Once I got outside of Akron and I got by
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Austintown and 6'8 in a young town, the roads. The
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: roads were absolutely dismal. The town just, it was just overgrowth,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: weeds and potholes. And I just said, now I understand
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: why people come here and they kind of look around.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, because when you live here, you kind of
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: don't take it so literally. I mean, I take care
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: of my mom's home and everything, so it doesn't look
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: like that, and we get by. But we went, you know,
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: I went out, and I came back in, and I
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: know the car was like, why did you bring me here?
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Because the roads were actually, they were absolutely destructive. So, yeah,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: it put me in a state of limbo. Like, I
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: can't believe I... It's like a shroud was pulled from
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: over my eyes, Ron. That's all I can say. And
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: now they seem to be wanting to try to clean
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: it up as bad as they can. You know, they've
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: been cutting shrubbery and blacktopping like crazy. But, you know,
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: it just took something like that to go out west
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: to come back in and see this.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: So it was like it was like the thing I
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: remember about his call was was he said, you know,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: this is where I grew up. This is my home
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: and everything like that. But once I went out to
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Arizona and was driving back, you know, and tell me
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: if I get the quote right. He says, as soon
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: as I got close to home, I realized it's a dump.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: I mean, I got pride.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: I grew up in the traffic in funeral days, Don
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Hanna and everything. And I mean, I got some pride
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: for Youngstown. Yeah, Youngstown to me at one time was everything,
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: a door park. But I came back and it's just
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: a dump around here. And then it goes to your
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: mind is, what are these city people, these politicians doing
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: with all the money that they're getting? It's absolutely dismal.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Did you go by the park I told you about
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: on Market Street? I think it's Market Street, Indianola.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Did you go by there yet? Tell folks about it.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: There's never anyone there at this park. It's always empty.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: No old people sitting there, senior citizens. No kids riding around, nothing.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: And they must have spent $ 500, 000 to develop this dumb park,
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: and I thought they were going to put a senior
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: citizen home there. So at least they can walk across
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: the street to the urgent care or whatever the medical
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: place is there. It's just the politicians here are just
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: absolutely pitiful. All they're doing is wasting our money. That's
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: all I can say. They're wasting our money. They just
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: don't know what they're doing, Ron. You would do a
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: better job. I would do a better job. I'd be
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: focusing on the road. I'd be focusing on, hey, take
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: some of them jailbirds down there, put them on the
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: cleanup crews, cleaning up the streets, you know, trash, all
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: this and that. Give the police department more money to
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: enforce the traffic laws around here and everything. I mean,
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: you might be— I mean, I think I told you. I
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: have a property in Conneaut. Conneaut's a depressed area, too.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: But you know what? They're strict with their traffic laws.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: They're clean policies up there. I tell you what, you've
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: got to give the city of Conneaut a lot of respect.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: You know, they might tell you, yeah, we might be
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: a poor town, but you would never know it because
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: we make sure every home is taken care of, no
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: trash and all that. So to say to a young child,
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: I blame the politicians. They just don't care.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: And you're right. You're right. Some of the asinine spending
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: that was done with this gift of this ARPA money
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: that could have been used so much more wisely. And
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: you're saying, yeah, they put this money into this market
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: in Indianola and you never see anyone playing in it.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Or are doing anything. What a waste of money, which
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: is which 100 percent correct. Don't we have a better
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: need to spend that that kind of money on? But
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was so eye opening for this guy
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: when he came back, when he went somewhere else. Well, many,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: many different states. He came back here and he looked around.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: He said, I can't believe what what I haven't been
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: seeing till I left. Now I realize.
• 26:15
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: The issues that that we have in this fine community.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: And I just thought that was a hell of a
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: story when you told it. And any time I drive
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: on a lousy road today, that is that is the
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: flashback I have is to your call. That's why I
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: brought that up. I can hear your voice now in
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: my head, like all the crappy roads.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: I go through Roswell, New Mexico. I stop at the
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: little UFO museum and everything. And, you know, it's a
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: little small non-industrial town. And I came all the way through.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: And then it's like I said, things changed. Like I
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: got to Columbus.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: It's okay.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: And I get to Akron. It's okay. Once I got
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: in that 76 and crossed under 46 and hit that 680,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: it just went straight Twilight Zone. Listen, I got a
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: rumor going, and I'm glad I busted your gut on
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: that one. Please keep that memory. Because I'm telling you,
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: I never forgot it. I just came in and called
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: my own town. I said, this place is a dump.
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: Jesus.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Hey, but I'll say one thing. The Slavic Fest I
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: went to, great, great event. My mom liked it down there.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: They have a great venue. I love pierogies. And for
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: the first time ever, brother, the pastor that walks down
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: when they have their ceremony, I'm trying to be out
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: there away, sitting at a table and meet my pierogi,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: and he comes over with the holy water, throwing it.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: And for the first time, Ron, he swashes the water,
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: and it hits me right in my eyeball, man. I'm
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: trying to eat a pierogi. I'm like, oh, you know.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: I said, Jesus Christ, right in my eyeball, Ron. And
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: I told my mom, I said, well, Lisa, you know
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: I ain't the devil, because I didn't catch on fire
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: or anything, you know. But that was funny, man.
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: That's a great event. I love the festival.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I didn't know you were Slovak.
• 28:10
  Speaker 12: Oh, I'm not.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: But you know what? When it comes to good food, brother,
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: I don't turn it down. I can eat a good
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: potato or a good pierogi. You know, I'm an international flavor. Now,
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: let me say this one thing, because I know you
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: got to go to your fun fest, the Little Rascals,
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: because I love when they all come on there.
• 28:27
  Speaker 13: Listen.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: They are. Wait a minute. Hey, once that one black
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: guy that was.
• 28:34
  Speaker 10: Always calling, he doesn't call anymore.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. The Fun Fest.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: You know what would be so cool? Oh, the Fun Fest.
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: You could get all these.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Guys together and have one of those cartoon paintings. You know,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: how they make the extreme faces and stuff. That would
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: be a great portrait for your radio station. It would be.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: But listen, I'm.
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: Going to say this.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: This Iran-Iraq war, or no, excuse me, Iran-Iraq war. I
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: mean U.S. and Iran. Listen, you want to solve this
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: because the Iranians, we all know, are a bunch of liars.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: They've always been liars, and that's the way it is.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: It's like dealing with the Nazis, okay? You've got to
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: break them. You've got to break them. And the only
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: way to break them, I hear everybody talking about, oh,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: drop a nuclear bomb.
• 29:21
  Speaker 9: No, no.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: You don't want to be known for just mass killing
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: like in World War II, not to say it was stupid.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean, the carnage. They have what
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: you call an EMP, electronic magnetic pulse weapon. Knock out
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: their electrical grid, but they can't do anything. Blind them totally.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Leave maybe one city in operation. I guarantee you that'll
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: bring them to the table. Send them back to the
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: dark ages. And you know what? The buildings are still standing.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: They just don't have any more electronics left. And that's
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: how you bring them to their knees. You ain't got
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: to be blowing this up and blowing that up. Just
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: knock out their electrical system. Well, great talking to you, bro.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: I'll talk to you again, man. You take it easy.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: My belly's hurting, man. I got to get off of here.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Stay tuned. A little rascal of characters, as you say,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: will be coming up. All right, man. See you. Oh,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: that guy's call stuck with me, man. I can remember
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: that like it was yesterday. NewsRadio 570. Welcome on and all.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, July 8th. We're sitting with 86 degrees. It's
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: humid outside today, to say the least. Definitely a humid day.
• 30:28

  Speaker 14: Dick Durbin. Now, Durbin has a new scheme.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: He's doing the.
• 30:54
  Speaker 14: Dirty work to benefit corporate megastores. Durbin's bill could cut
• 30:58
  Speaker 14: corners on your credit card security, putting your personal data
• 31:02
  Speaker 14: at risk. Big chain retailers and warehouse stores want to
• 31:05
  Speaker 14: inflate their profits, and liberal Dick Durbin would help them

  Speaker 5: Liberal yeah um well i think jim sounds pretty nice
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: you know we have to have our issues but uh
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: i tend to disagree a little bit that.
• 31:39
  Speaker 16: It's A dump?
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I thought that guy said when he was driving back. Well,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: he's lived here all his life, and he still lives here,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: and he said he just realized that it was a dump.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: That's all he said when he came driving back from Arizona.
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: Well, you can say that, you know, we do, we
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: have your issues over here, but we're not adults. But anyway,
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: I thought it was, you know, kind of funny because
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: I lived out west for quite a while, too. And
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: when you look at, I lived in California for a
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: little bit as a lifeguard. And then when you turn
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: around and you come back here, then you go, you know,
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: there is a little bit of a difference, you know,
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: that in California. in the environment and whatnot, but, uh,
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: you know, we've got a nice city park and Mill
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: Creek park is a pretty good university, pretty good people. And,
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: and we do have our issues. I'm tired of flattening
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: my tires also with the potholes. So I have to
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: tend to agree on that end. And we have some,
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: some spending issues that need to be rectified and some
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: deep pockets need to be, uh, taken care of. But, um, I, um,
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: I was wondering, I was wondering how many people went
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: to the, uh, the festival there in Washington to see
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: the fireworks and whatnot. I'm surprised you guys haven't brought
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: anything up about that.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you this much. I'll bring something up. I
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: watched it. I watched Trump's speech, and I watched the fireworks.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: The fireworks were unbelievable. I mean, it was absolutely... Absolutely unbelievable,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: the fireworks. Just, I mean, when they said it was
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: the biggest that you'll ever see, probably so. I mean,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: it was just really interesting. I found the coverage really cool.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's the United States of America, the 250th
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: anniversary or birthday, whatever you want to say, 250 years.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: And I was watching it on Fox. I found it
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: really interesting when they were interviewing people that were coming
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: to the event. from all over the country and that
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: they showed up to take in the fireworks and take
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: in all the activities that were going on. Listen, I mean,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: what did I think about it? We have our problems,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: but this is a great country. I wouldn't want to
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: be in any other place. I wouldn't want to be
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: in any other country. I understand why everybody wants to
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: come here. I get very frustrated by the people, the
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Ilan Omars and people like that that come here from Somalia,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: don't realize how good they have it, and want to
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: try to change this country into a direction that I
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: totally disagree with. I get very frustrated with people that
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: come from Somalia in these areas that think this country
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: should change in a direction which socialism or whatever direction
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: they came from, which I don't understand that at all.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: I look at people that come here, and they realize,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: like I've been watching these soccer players that come here,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: and they say, man, in France, we don't have air conditioning.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: In Europe, they don't have air conditioning. It's hot. They
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: don't have it in the hospitals. They don't have it
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: at work. It's just hot all the time. You have
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: more deaths as a result of it. They come here
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: and they say, what a great country, man. Air conditioning
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: is wonderful. They go to Bucky's, which is a gas
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: station store, and they say, this is incredible, or Sam's
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Club or Costco. They come and they realize how great
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: a country it is with all that we have to
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: offer in this great country. And these are people from Europe,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: not some– A poor area from Europe. And they're saying,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: what a great lifestyle you guys have here. And it
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: sure isn't like they reflected on television or or the
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: negativity that you hear about this great country of ours.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: And I find that very uplifting and very refreshing because
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I think it is all of those things. Do we
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: have our problems?
• 35:20
  Speaker 17: Yes.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: But in general, would you want to be anywhere else
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: when you listen to them talk about it? Absolutely not.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: And I get frustrated with, as I say, Ilhan Omar
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: and people of that ilk that seem to hate this
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: country and how it's and what it stands for and
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: how it's and what it's done to change lives as
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: far as capitalism, including her life. that she come from Somalia,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: got into this country and is now in Congress in
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: this country, making six figures with great benefits and a
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: great retirement. And all she does is bitch about the country. So, uh,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: That was my reaction. I mean, I thought Trump's speech,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I thought he gave a good speech. I enjoyed the fireworks.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: And I just thought it was a time to reflect
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: on the sacrifices over the years that so many families
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: made in our various wars for this country and how
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: lucky we are to be alive and to be in
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: this country, period.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: I remember the bicentennial when I was 14 back in 1976.
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: I thought at that time it was a true meaning
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: of how we can be proud. Not that we couldn't
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: be proud now.
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: Stand by, JJ.

• 43:39
  Speaker 1: All right, NewsRadio 570. Thanks for the therapy. NewsRadio 570,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: WKBN and Ron Verb. All right, JJ, so when you
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: asked me what I think about it, that's what I
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: think about watching the events. I wish there were things
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: that just weren't political to people. I mean, it's 250 years.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: It's great fireworks. I just tuned in and watched the celebration,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing them talk. Talk about why
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: they went to Washington, D.C., just Joe Bagadonis.
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: I just remember when I, you know, years and years
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: ago when I was younger, I remember getting in a
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: discussion with my father. And as, you know, a young person,
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: I was, you know, kind of, you know, I felt
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: that I, you know, I was trying to, you know,
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: feel that, you know, I was questioning a lot about
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: my country. And look, I've always been very much of
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: a positive person, but I'm a blessed person to be
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: living here. Anywhere else I am, every day I realize
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: how blessed I am. And my family is lucky to
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: be in this country and the freedoms and the liberties
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: that I do.
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: Do have.
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: And he told me, he said, you know, JJ, he said,
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: you know, you never want to ever think of being
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: anywhere else in this world. You have to have a
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: good year. And he taught me a lot of things,
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: and I agreed with him. But he was also very
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: I don't know how many times my dad probably won't,
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: maybe only a handful of times, but he, you know,
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: he said, well, at least you were, you know, questioning
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: some things and that's, that's good. But again, you have
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: to realize that, uh, how lucky you are. And I
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: totally stuck with me, but I, I, during that time
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: that cleared recently with that, they were doing, you know,
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: I don't want to get into too many things, but
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: you know, those, those guys went up on the, You know, they,
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: you know, went up there with the masks on, and
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: that kind of thing's kind of a little bit bothered
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: me because that's not the representation of what our country's about.
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: And quite frankly, you know, the fireworks were nice, and
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: the attempt to have all 50 states being recognized... uh,
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: with their little boosts and stuff like that, which it
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: was nice because you get to see what every state
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: can contribute to the union here. So there was a
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: lot of good, a lot of good things, but, um, I,
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: I quite frankly thought that the, uh, the president's, um,
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: address was, uh, very divisive. Um, and in the sense that, uh,
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: you know, once again, it was, you know, if he,
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: you know, like Nick said that one time that he,
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: I remember, you know, I keep listening to that day
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: that he had called in. I can't remember the actual day,
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: but he called in and was saying that, you know,
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: that we're supposed to support the president and people like
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: me are supposed to support the president of the country. Yet,
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: you know, he never supported Biden in his agenda, which
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: I don't expect him to do so. But to courier
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: request people like me to fall in line is quite, quite,
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: quite humorous. But nonetheless, I just felt that he was, again,
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: being that we are the problem. the Democrats, the Democrats,
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: he says, with the B, that we're the ones that are,
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: you know, causing the problems and whatnot. And again, that's,
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: you know, that's coming from a person who just, as
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: I said, that's the way he feels, and that's fine.
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: But I, you know, the more thing that's never going
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: to end, and I'll tell you why, is because all
• 46:43
  Speaker 5: the agreements and deals that he's speaking of, which I'm so,
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: every time I hear the word deal, it's like nails
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: on a chalkboard. But, you know, they're never going to
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: fall into place, and I'll tell you why, is because
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: Israel will never allow it to happen. And we always
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: blame the Iran people. Iran, they bombed Israel, which they
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: have done. And they've fallen quite short of their fulfillment
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: toward the treaty. But every time that happens and we're
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: getting close to it, they wind up going ahead and
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: bombing Lebanon. And then that's one of the general issues
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: that deal for it to fall apart is for them
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: to do that. So until Israel... falls in line too,
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: and they fulfill their obligation by not trying to commit genocide,
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: that's a true statement, that we're not going to get anywhere.
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: And quite frankly, even if we do get a deal,
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: the deal's not going to be as good as the one,
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: and everybody can argue the point with me, it's not
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: going to be as good as the one that Obama
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: had in place. Now, and again, you know, because weeks
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: ago before you were saying that, you know, that you
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: felt that there was an issue going on with the
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: war and that I thought the bunker buster did this
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: and did that. And, you know, quite frankly, I think
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: that it's, you know, it is really until the Israelis
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: make their sacrifice and stop doing that, because all they're
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: going to do is continue to agitate the situation. And,
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: you know, and I just find it, you know, it's
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: going to continue.
• 48:10
  Speaker 24: To go on.
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: And as far as the other thing, too, is bombing. Iran,
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: do you know that, and I know you're aware of
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: this because you're a smart man, that one time Iran
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: was a democratic country. And until we decided that we didn't,
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: they didn't, we didn't like them to have all that oil,
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: so we sold the Shah. And then the Shah became a,
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: he was a horrible, horrible individual. And then what it
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: did is it just bred animosity toward our country. So
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: I'm not deciding on my country, but we should be
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: expecting more of ourselves. And when we go and we
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: do this, and there's innocent people.
• 48:45
  Speaker 6: Over there, too.
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: And, you know, to go out there, you know, to
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: the government, that's one thing, and the military, that's another thing.
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: But to want to take away their ability to put
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: lights on or feed their people or have the people
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: have water, it's quite disconcerting. And, you know, I'm trying
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: to be as level-headed and as even-keeled as I possibly can,
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: and it makes it very, very difficult. Because, again, I
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: think it's now 40 times he's said about a deal.
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: And quite frankly, he could tell me tomorrow is Thursday,
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: and I'm not going to believe him until I look
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: on the calendar. And I just find that, you know,
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: this really was not a, you know, and there was
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: $ 120 million that was allocated toward that.
• 49:23
  Speaker 6: Nation's birth.
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: And if that was $ 120 million worth of putting toward
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: some type of party, it was, I want to know
• 49:33
  Speaker 5: where that money went. And, you know, quite frankly, again,
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: I'm going to end with this, is that everybody complains
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: about you know, people making money, the bombers and everybody
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: else making money. And, you know, right now, it's, I
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: see it hand over fist, money going places that, you know,
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: quite frankly, and, you know, I'd rather go to USAID
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: than to the people lining their pockets, the rich people.
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: And I, again, you know, I really like you, Ron,
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: and I consider you a friend, but, you know, again,
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: I know you've been disappointed in me before, but I'm
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: quite disappointed that You know, again, you know, I want
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: to continue with your questions of Trump and his position,
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: but also stand by him, which you were doing. And
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: I admired that. But when you get people again, Republicans
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: did it again the other day, talking about how Muslims
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: don't have to fulfill their obligations like that. That's a lie.
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: And it really just, again, it's putting the perspective on
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: the people that are Muslim. That is not right, and
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: it's not correct. If you don't like them for a
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: certain reason, that's fine. But make it the truth. And
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: I just, as I said, it was a divisive thing.
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: I felt very, very not an American. And as I said, it's...
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: You know, and I want to apologize just briefly about
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: me hanging up on you the other day, but, you know,
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: Ted could have made his point with my son one time,
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: but he continued with it. And that, quite frankly, as
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: you said, you know, I hope that they release that man.
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: Because if you guys think about it, you know, imagine
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: if a white man, when my kid went into that tent,
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: and there was a bunch of black people in there.
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: Do you know that those twins were 6'1, 200 pounds,
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: and he was 5'10, 150 pounds? You went in there,
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: and then you're being pushed, and you're being told to get...
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: Why was it a problem for him being in that
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: tent anyway? It was thundering and lightning out there.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: I just really don't understand it.
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: He stabbed him one time. And you guys want him
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: to do the rest of his life in prison?
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he killed him. Yes, I do.
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he killed him, but the thing is, he said,
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: that white kid... He was partly responsible for.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: His own demise.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: No, he wasn't.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: You guys would have said he was self-defense.
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: No, I don't.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: See, this is where you go off the rails. And
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to explain this to you. It
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter to me what color the characters are in
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: this at all. It's irrelevant to me. All that matters
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: to me, and I want to make this clear to you,
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: is that they ask him to leave and he refused
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: to leave and they ask him and they ask him
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: and he refused to leave. So they said, you can't
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: be in here. This isn't where you belong. And yeah,
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: because it wasn't for his it's for their school or
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. He didn't belong in that tent or
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, overhang, or whatever group it was. He
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: didn't belong there. Had he simply done, once again, this
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: is what drives me up a freaking wall. Had he
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: simply listened to what he was told, hey, you don't
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: belong here. This isn't your group of students. And he
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: would have simply got up and left as he was
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: asked to do instead of starting to get in a
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: confrontational thing of not listening. And then the one kid says, hey,
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: you got to go and pushes him. Well, does that
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: warrant that kid pulling out a knife and stabbing the
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: kid in the heart and killing him? Yes or no?
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: It's okay. So that's why he was convicted of murder.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: He murdered the kid. He murdered the kid. He murdered
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: the kid. Pure and simple.
• 52:56
  Speaker 7: There was no black jury.
• 52:58
  Speaker 5: There was nobody on the black jury.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't care. Do you think black
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: people would say, oh, it's okay to stab him in
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: the chest? Do you think somehow it's all... See, my
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: problem with you is it's all color with you.
• 53:13
  Speaker 5: What was the horrible thing for him to go into?
• 53:15
  Speaker 5: And you guys haven't even read it.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, for the love of God.
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: Listen, that county says that they wanted to support people.
• 53:21
  Speaker 7: Engaging with other people.
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: What do you know? It says that they engage. They
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: wanted to engage.
• 53:29
  Speaker 7: They wanted people to engage with other people.
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: So when he goes into a storm and it's lightning,
• 53:33
  Speaker 5: you want to kick him out because what, you don't
• 53:35
  Speaker 5: like him?
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: He's black?
• 53:36
  Speaker 25: No.
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: But if there was a white kid doing that, then
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: he would have been pushed.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: You and I are going to get nowhere on it
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: because I'll say it to you again, and you don't
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: want to hear it. It has nothing to do with
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: color at all. It has absolutely nothing to do with it.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: He should have got up and left when he was
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: asked to leave. He did not. So they pushed him.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: And in turn, he thought it was okay to pull
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: out a knife and stab the kid in the heart
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: and kill him. Do you think that was okay? I'm
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: asking you a question. I'm asking you a question. Do
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: you think it was okay for that kid to stab him?
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Yes or no?
• 54:13
  Speaker 24: All right.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: So he tried for murder because he killed that kid.
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: Period.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: End of story. Goodbye. You're on the air. Hello. You're
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: on the air. Where is everybody? You got to pay attention, folks. Otherwise,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: you're not going to get on. OK, so that's all
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: I can tell you. You're on the air.
• 54:42
  Speaker 6: Everybody was holding their ears because they didn't want to
• 54:45
  Speaker 6: hear what the last caller was saying.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a typical liberal thing. He wants to
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: make everything about race. It has to be about race.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: It has to be about color and all this kind
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: of stuff. This is craziness. This is absolute craziness. You
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: got one kid that's dead and the other one that isn't.
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: You got one kid that wasn't following the rules, that
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: didn't leave, who stabbed the other kid in the heart
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: and killed him.
• 55:12
  Speaker 6: Why do you have a knife? There's places you belong
• 55:21
  Speaker 6: and you don't. I was just talking to my brother
• 55:24
  Speaker 6: about golf courses in Florida. And the one has a
• 55:32
  Speaker 6: five-year waiting list. It's $ 100, 000, which is nothing for big
• 55:36
  Speaker 6: boy golf courses down there, right? I don't belong there.
• 55:44
  Speaker 6: It's not a place for me, right? And it doesn't
• 55:46
  Speaker 6: matter what color you are because if you bring the money,
• 55:50
  Speaker 6: you're getting in, right? It all stands the same. But people,
• 55:56
  Speaker 6: and it's more, I'll just remind you again, it's more
• 55:58
  Speaker 6: leftist than liberals because they like to get into the
• 56:03
  Speaker 6: oppressed and the oppressor, right? Oh, you don't like what
• 56:07
  Speaker 6: Emmanuel says because he's black. Are you retarded? We don't
• 56:12
  Speaker 6: like what he says. We don't like his policy. We
• 56:14
  Speaker 6: don't like his opinion about how to run politics. It
• 56:18
  Speaker 6: has absolutely 100% nothing to do.
• 56:21
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 56:22
  Speaker 6: So am I going to listen to Morris Ray on
• 56:26
  Speaker 6: the radio? Yes, I am, and I'm going to disagree
• 56:28
  Speaker 6: with him. Am I going to listen to Larry Elder
• 56:30
  Speaker 6: on the radio? Yes, and I'm going to agree with him.
• 56:32
  Speaker 6: They're both black. It doesn't matter. We're so far past this, people.
• 56:37
  Speaker 6: What are you doing? This is what you bring up
• 56:41
  Speaker 6: every freaking time. Every issue got to be this. Hey,
• 56:46
  Speaker 6: who kills more black people? Black people do. Statistically, it's
• 56:51
  Speaker 6: what it is. You kill, you commit crimes on your
• 56:55
  Speaker 6: own race. So more white people kill white people. More
• 56:59
  Speaker 6: black people kill black people. It's usually not crossing the
• 57:06
  Speaker 6: race barrier. But when it is, right, it's a giant problem.
• 57:11
  Speaker 6: Do you yell about all the other times? No, because
• 57:15
  Speaker 6: you want to keep it like this, like these people
• 57:17
  Speaker 6: are oppressed and they can't do nothing about it. They
• 57:20
  Speaker 6: can't get anywhere because you won't let them under a tent. Really?
• 57:23
  Speaker 6: That's your argument for everything. And it didn't work before.
• 57:29
  Speaker 6: Karl Marx sucked and his kids committed suicide. It's wrong
• 57:36
  Speaker 6: to be like that. It's not Christian to be like that.
• 57:38
  Speaker 6: And I'm saying to feel like you're oppressed by everything
• 57:44
  Speaker 6: because you're never going to get anywhere. You're never going
• 57:47
  Speaker 6: to get ahead. You're always stuck because somebody else is
• 57:51
  Speaker 6: holding you down. The only person holding you down is you.
• 57:55
  Speaker 6: You're in freaking America. Look what all the soccer fans
• 57:58
  Speaker 6: said when they came over here. This place is amazing.
• 58:02
  Speaker 6: You can do whatever you want, whenever you want. Yeah, yeah.
• 58:07
  Speaker 6: Unless you get into this leftist Marxist thinking and then
• 58:11
  Speaker 6: you're stuck there and you're a loser the rest of
• 58:13
  Speaker 6: your life. Congratulations. Get out and do something. My God.
• 58:19
  Speaker 6: But other than that, other than that, things are good.
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: It's just, it's just the craziness of, of JJ. I mean, it's, it's,
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: it's crazy because with liberals, it's always about the color
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: and it's, And it has nothing to do with it.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, so this kid is white that was stabbed
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: by a black kid. Well, the color is irrelevant. It
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter if it was two white kids or two
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: black kids. I say it a million times. If he
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: would have simply followed the orders he was given, he
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: would be alive today. And if he simply would have
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: de-escalated the situation instead of saying, the answer is, I'm
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: going to pull out a knife and stab this guy.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Those are decisions. Stab this kid. This is a decision
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: he made. There are consequences to that decision, period.
• 59:11
  Speaker 6: Do you know how many times Jake's been pushed in
• 59:16
  Speaker 6: his life? And ask me how many times I ever
• 59:19
  Speaker 6: pulled out a knife and stabbed anybody. Never. I never
• 59:23
  Speaker 6: pulled a gun. I never brandished a firearm. I have them.
• 59:27
  Speaker 6: I have knives and guns. If it's a fight, it's
• 59:30
  Speaker 6: a fight.
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: Whatever.
• 59:31
  Speaker 6: What are you pulling out of... Right. What's the old thing?
• 59:34
  Speaker 6: You brought a knife to a gunfight.
• 59:36
  Speaker 24: Blah, blah, blah.
• 59:37
  Speaker 6: Why are you pulling out a weapon, a deadly bleeping weapon?
• 59:40
  Speaker 6: And by the way, JJ, the African-American lady, the black
• 59:45
  Speaker 6: lady who was pulled off the jury because she was asked, hey,
• 59:50
  Speaker 6: can you look at this without thinking about the race?
• 59:55
  Speaker 6: And she said, no, I can't see another brother going
• 59:58
  Speaker 6: to jail. Right? So I won't be able to be truthful.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 6: He told the truth and was ticked off the jury.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: All right, stand by, stand by for a second, Jake.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: I'll come back to you and more in a minute.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: Stay tuned. Ron Verp checking in with Bob Dieter, Dieter Heating.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: All right, NewsRadio. Thanks for the therapy. NewsRadio 570, WKBN
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: and Ron Verp. All right, JJ, so when you asked
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: me what did I think about it, that's what I
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: think about it. Watching the events. I wish there were
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: things that just weren't political to people. I mean, it's
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: 250 years. It's great fireworks. I just tuned in and
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: watched the celebration. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing them talk about
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: why they went to Washington, D.C. Just Joe Bagadonis.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 5: And that's... I just remember when I, you know, years
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 5: and years ago when I was younger, I remember getting
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: in a discussion with my father. And as, you know,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 5: as a young person, I was, you know, kind of,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 5: you know, I felt that I, you know, I was
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 5: trying to, you know, feel that, you know, I was
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 5: questioning a lot about my country. And look, I was
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 5: always been a very much of a positive person, but
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 5: I'm a blessed person to be living here.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 5: Anywhere else I am, every day I realize how blessed
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 5: I am, and my family is lucky to be in
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 5: this country and the freedoms and the liberties that I
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 5: do have. And he told me, he said, you know, JJ,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 5: he said, you know, you never want to ever think
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 5: of being anywhere else in this world.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 6: You have a good year.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 5: And he taught me a lot of things, and I
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 5: agree with him. But he was also very... I don't
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 5: know how many times my dad probably won't, maybe only
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 5: a handful of times, but he, you know, he said, well,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 5: at least you were, you know, questioning some things and that's,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 5: that's good. But again, you have to realize that, uh,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 5: how lucky you are. And I totally stuck with me,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 5: but I, I, during that time that cured recently with that,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 5: there was, you know, I don't want to get into
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 5: too many things, but you know, those, those guys went
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 5: up on the, you know, they, you know, went up
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 5: there with the masks on, and that kind of thing's
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 5: kind of a little bit bothered me, because that's not
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 5: the representation of what our country's about. And quite frankly,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 5: you know, the fireworks were nice, and the attempt to
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 5: have the old 50 states being recognized. with their little
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 5: boosts and stuff like that, which was nice, because you
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 5: get to see what every state can contribute to the
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 5: union here. So there was a lot of good things,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 5: but I quite frankly thought that the president's address was
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 5: very divisive, and in the sense that, you know, once again,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 5: it was... You know, if he, you know, like Nick
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 5: said that one time that he, I remember, you know,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 5: I keep listening to that day that he had called in.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 5: I can't remember the exact actual day, but he called
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 5: in and was saying that Kyle, you know, that we're
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 5: supposed to support the president and people like me are
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 5: supposed to support the president in the country. Yet, you know,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 5: he never supported Biden in his agenda, which I don't
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 5: expect him to do so, but to create requests. people
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 5: like me to fall in line with is quite, um, quite,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 5: quite humorous. Uh, but nonetheless, I, I, I just felt
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 5: that he was again, being that we are the problem, uh,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 5: the Democrats, the Democrats, he says with the B and
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 5: that we're the ones that are, you know, causing the
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 5: problems and whatnot. And again, that's, You know, that's coming
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 5: from a person who just, as I said, that's the
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 5: way he feels, and that's fine. But, you know, the
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 5: more thing, it's never going to end, and I'll tell
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 5: you why. It's because all the agreements and deals that
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 5: he's speaking of, which I'm so, every time I hear
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 5: the word deal, it's like nails on a chalkboard. But,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 5: you know, it's never going to fall into place, and
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you why. It's because Israel will never allow
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 5: it to happen. And we always blame the Iran people.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 5: They bombed Israel, which they have done. And they've fallen
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 5: quite short of their fulfillment toward the treaty. But every
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 5: time that happens and we're getting close to it, they
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 5: wind up going ahead and bombing Lebanon. And then that's
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 5: one of the general issues that deal for it to
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 5: fall apart is for them to do that. So until Israel...
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: falls in line to remain fulfilled their obligation by not
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 5: trying to uh... genocide uh..
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 7: That uh..
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 5: That that tonight at the true statement uh..
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 7: That uh..
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 5: We were not going to get anywhere and quite frankly
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 5: if we do get a deal that they'll talk and
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 5: be as good as the one and everybody can argue
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 5: the point with me it's not going to be as
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 5: good as the one that obama had in place Now,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 5: and again, you know, a few weeks ago, before you
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 5: were saying that, you know, that you felt that there
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 5: was an issue going on with the war and that
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 5: I thought the bunker buster did this and did that. And,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 5: you know, quite frankly, I think that it's, you know,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 5: it is really until the Israelis make their sacrifice and
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 5: stop doing that, because all they're going to do is
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 5: continue to agitate the situation. And, you know, and I
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 5: just find it, you know, it's going to continue to
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 5: go on. and as far as the other thing too
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 5: is bombing i think you know that i did i
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 5: know you're aware this is your smart man at one
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 5: time i ran with a democratic uh... country and until
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 5: we decided that we didn't they didn't we didn't like
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 5: them to have all that oil so we had sold
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 5: the shock and then the show became a he was
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 5: a horrible horrible individual and then get what it did
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 5: is it didn't work uh... animosity toward our country so
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 5: i'm not sure i'm not i i i i I'm
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 5: not siding on my country, but we should be expecting
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 5: more of ourselves. And when we go and we do this,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 5: I know there's innocent people over there, too. And, you know,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 5: to go out there, you know, to the government, that's
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 5: one thing, and the military, that's another thing. But to
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 5: want to take away their ability to put lights on
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 5: or feed their people or have the people have water,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 5: it's quite disconcerting. And, you know, I'm trying to be
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 5: as level-headed and as even-keeled as I possibly can, and
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 5: it makes it very, very difficult. Because, again, I think
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 5: it's now 40 times he's said about a deal. And
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 5: quite frankly, he could tell me tomorrow is Thursday, and
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to believe him until I look on
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 5: the calendar. And I just find it, you know, just
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 5: really was not a, you know, and there was $ 120
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 5: million that was allocated toward that, that our, the invention's birth.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 5: And if that was $ 120 million worth of putting toward
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 5: some type of party, I wouldn't know where that money went.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 5: And quite frankly, again, I'm going to end with this.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 5: Everybody complains about people making money, Obamas and everybody else
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 5: making money. And right now, I see it hand over fist,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 5: money going places that... You know, quite frankly, and, you know,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 5: I'd rather go to USAID than to the people lining
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 5: their pockets, the rich people. And I, again, you know,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 5: I really like you, Ron, and I consider you a friend. But,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 5: you know, again, I know you've been disappointed in me before,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 5: but I'm quite disappointed that... You know, again, I want
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 5: to continue with your questions of Trump and his position,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 5: but also stand by him, what you were doing. And
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 5: I admired that. But when you get people again, Republicans
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 5: did it again the other day, talking about how Muslims
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 5: don't have to fulfill their obligations like that. That's a lie.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 5: And it really just, again, it's putting the perspective on
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 5: the people that are Muslim. That is not right, and
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 5: it's not correct. If you want to be, but you
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 5: don't like them for a certain reason, that's fine. But
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 5: make it the truth. And I just, as I said,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 5: it was a divisive thing. I felt very, very not
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 5: an American. And as I said, it's... You know, and
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 5: I want to apologize just briefly about my hanging up
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 5: on you the other day, but, you know, Ted Kidd
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 5: has made his point with my son one time, but
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 5: he continued with it. And that, quite frankly, as you said,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 5: you know, I hope that they release that man. Because
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 5: if you guys think about it, you know, imagine if
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 5: a white man, when my kid went into that tent,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 5: and there was a bunch of black people in there.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 7: You know that those.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 5: Twins were 6'1, 200 pounds, and he was 5'10, 150 pounds?
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 5: You went in there, and then you're being pushed, and
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 5: you're being told to get the gun. Why was it
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 5: a problem for him being in that tent anyway? It
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 5: was thundering and lightning out there. I just really don't
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 5: understand that he stabbed him one time. And you guys
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 5: want him to do the rest of his life in prison?
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he killed him. Yes, I do.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he killed him, but the thing is that that
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 5: white kid... He was partly responsible for his own demise.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: No, he wasn't.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 5: You guys would have said he was self-defense.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: No, I don't.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: See, this is where you go off the rails. And
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to explain this to you. It
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter to me what color the characters are in
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: this at all. It's irrelevant to me. All that matters
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: to me, and I want to make this clear to you,
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: is that they ask him to leave and he refused
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: to leave and they ask him and they ask him
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: and he refused to leave. So they said, you can't
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: be in here. This isn't where you belong. Yeah, because
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: it wasn't for his, it's for their school or whatever
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: it is. He didn't, excuse me, he didn't belong in
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: that tent or whatever it is, overhang or whatever group
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: it was. He didn't belong there. Had he simply done,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: once again, this is what drives me. up a freaking wall.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: Had he simply listened to what he was told. Hey,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: you don't belong here. This isn't your group of students.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: And he would have simply got up and left as
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: he was asked to do instead of starting to get
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: in a confrontational thing of not listening. And then the
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: one kid says, hey, you got to go and pushes him. Well,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: does that warrant that kid pulling out a knife and
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: stabbing the kid in the heart and killing him? Yes
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: or no?
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 5: It's okay.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: So that's why he was convicted of murder. He murdered
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: the kid. He murdered the kid. He murdered the kid.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: Pure and simple.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: There was no black jury.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 5: There was nobody on the black jury. I don't care.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: I don't care. Do you think black people would say, oh,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: it's okay to stab him in the chest? Do you
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: think somehow it's all... See, my problem with you is
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: it's all color with you.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 5: What was the horrible thing for him to go into?
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 5: And you guys haven't even read it.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, for the love of God.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 5: Listen, that county says that they wanted to support people engaging.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 4: With other people.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 9: Oh.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 5: What do you know? It said that they wanted to engage.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 7: They wanted people to engage with other people.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 5: So when he goes into a storm and it's lightning,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 5: you want to kick him out because what, you don't
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 5: like him?
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: He's black?
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 16: No.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 5: But if there was a white kid doing that, then
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 5: he would have been pushed.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: You and I are going to get nowhere on it
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: because I'll say it to you again, and you don't
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: want to hear it. It has nothing to do with
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: color at all. It has absolutely.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 7: Nothing to do with it.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: He should have got up and left when he was
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: asked to leave. He did not. So they pushed him.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: And in turn, he thought it was okay to pull
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: out a knife and stab the kid in the heart
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: and kill him. Do you think that was okay? I'm
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: asking you a question. I'm asking you a question. Do
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: you think it was okay for that kid to stab him?
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: Yes or no? All right. So he was tried for
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: murder because he killed that kid.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 4: Period.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: End of story. Goodbye. You're on the air.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 26: Hello.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: You're on the air. Where is everybody? You got to
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: pay attention, folks. Otherwise, you're not going to get on. Okay.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: So that's all I can tell you. You're on the air.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 6: Everybody was holding their ears because they didn't want to
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 6: hear what the last caller was saying.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a typical liberal thing. He wants to
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: make everything about race. It has to be about race.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: It has to be about color and all this kind
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: of stuff. This is craziness. This is absolute craziness. You've
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: got one kid that's dead and the other one that isn't.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: You've got one kid that wasn't following the rules, that
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: didn't leave, who stabbed the other kid in the heart
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: and killed him.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 6: Whatever, why do you have a knife? Why? There's places
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 6: you belong and you don't. I was just talking to
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 6: my brother about the golf courses in Florida and Yeah,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 6: the one has a five-year waiting list. It's $ 100, 000, which
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 6: is nothing for big boy golf courses down there, right?
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 6: I don't belong there. It's not a place for me, right?
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 6: And it doesn't matter what color you are because if
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 6: you bring the money, you're getting in, right? It all
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 6: stands the same. But people, and it's more, I'll just
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 6: remind you again, it's more leftist than liberals because they
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 6: like to get into the oppressed and the.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 3: Oppressor, right?
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 6: Oh, you don't like what Emanuel says because he's black.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 6: Are you retarded? We don't like what he says. We
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 6: don't like his policy. We don't like his opinion about
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 6: how to run politics. It has absolutely 100% nothing to do.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 6: So am I going to listen to Morris Ray on
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 6: the radio? Yes, I am, and I'm going to disagree
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 6: with him. Am I going to listen to Larry Elder
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 6: on the radio? Yes, and I'm going to agree with him.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 6: They're both black. It doesn't matter. We're so far past this, people.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 6: What are you doing? This is what you bring up
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 6: every freaking time. Every issue got to be this. Hey,
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 6: who kills more black people? Black people do. Statistically, it's
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 6: what it is. You kill, you commit crimes on your
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 6: own race. So more white people kill white people. More
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 6: black people kill black people. It's usually not crossing the
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 6: race barrier. But when it is, right, it's a giant problem.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 6: Do you yell about all the other times? No, because
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 6: you want to keep it like this, like these people
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 6: are oppressed and they can't do nothing about it. They
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 6: can't get anywhere because you won't let them under a tent. Really?
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 6: That's your argument for everything. And it didn't work before.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 6: Karl Marx sucked, and his kids committed suicide. It's wrong
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 6: to be like that. It's not Christian to be like that.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 6: And I'm saying to feel like you're oppressed by everything,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 6: because you're never going to get anywhere. You're never going
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 6: to get ahead. You're always stuck because somebody else is
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 6: holding you down. The only person holding you down is you.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 6: You're in freaking America. Look what all the soccer fans
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 6: said when they came over here. This place is amazing.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 6: You can do whatever you want, whenever you want.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 6: Unless you get into this leftist Marxist thinking and then
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 6: you're stuck there and you're a loser the rest of
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 6: your life. Congratulations. Get out and do something. My God.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 6: But other than that, other than that, things are good.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: It's just the craziness of J.J. I mean, it's crazy
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: because with liberals, it's always about the color, and it
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: has nothing to do with it. I mean, so this
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: kid is white that was stabbed by a black kid. Well,
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: the color is irrelevant. It doesn't matter if it was
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: two white kids or two black kids. I say it
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: a million times. If he would have simply followed the
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: orders he was given, he would be alive today. And
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: if he simply would have de-escalated the situation instead of saying,
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: the answer is I'm going to pull out a knife
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: and stab this guy. Those are decisions. Stab this kid.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: This is a decision he made. There are consequences to
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: that decision. Period.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 6: Do you know how many times Jake's been pushed in
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 6: his lifetime? And ask me how many times I ever
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 6: pulled out a knife and stabbed anybody. Never. I never
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 6: pulled a gun. I never brandished a firearm. I have them.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 6: I have knives and guns.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 8: If it's a fight, it's a fight.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 5: Whatever.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 6: What are you pulling out? What's the old thing? You
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 6: brought a knife to a gunfight.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 27: Blah, blah, blah.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 6: Why are you pulling out a weapon, a deadly bleeping weapon?
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 6: And by the way, JJ, the African-American lady, the black
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 6: lady who was pulled off the jury because she was asked, hey,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 6: can you look at this without thinking about the race?
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 6: And she said, no, I can't see another brother going
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 6: to jail.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 18: Right.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 6: So I won't be able to be truthful. He told
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 6: the truth and was kicked off the jury.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: All right, stand by, stand by for a second, Jake.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: I'll come back to you and more in a minute.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: Stay tuned.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 15: This is Radio 570 WKBN.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: Ron Verb from the Kingdom of Mahoning, 3.55 in the afternoon. Jake,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: it's just... Listen, I like J.J., J.J. the Liberal, all
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. But the reality is... Sometimes people
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: want to make everything about color, and I want to
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: make this clear. I don't care if both of these
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: kids in this situation are black or both of them
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: are white or one of them was male or female.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: It is so irrelevant when you look at the facts
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: of what happened here. One thing is for certain. One
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: kid decided the answer was to pull out a knife
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: and stab the other kid and killed him. Now, that
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: was an excessive action no matter what the outcome. He
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: was in this team's tent. He didn't belong there. They
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: asked him to leave. He didn't do that. He refused
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: to leave. Apparently, he had done that in other tents,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: from what I understand it. So he's just a kid
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: who thought, I guess the rules didn't apply to him.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: So they asked him, and if he would have got
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: up and left, everything would have worked out fine. But
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: for some reason, he seemed to think that that didn't
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: apply to him. So the young man that was stabbed
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: apparently said, hey, you got to go, gave him a
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: push out of the tent. He turned around and came
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: back at him and stabbed him in the heart with
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: a knife. Okay, is that the appropriate action to take?
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. So that's why he was on trial.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: That kid is dead, and that's why they found him guilty. Now, J.J.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: wants to imply, well, there weren't any black people on
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: a jury. What, because they're black, are they going to say, oh,
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: it's okay for this black kid to stab and kill
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: that white kid? What does color have to do with anything?
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: Is J.J. implying that, oh, because the jury reached a
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: verdict based on the racial makeup of it? No, I
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: think the jury reached a verdict based on the facts,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: just as I believe a black jury would also reach
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: the verdict based on the facts that somebody's dead, somebody's not.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: Somebody went to an extreme by stabbing somebody. So I
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: don't know where you go with it.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 6: I think the stabbing somebody is illegal. And you look
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 6: around and go, wow, well, those good liberals in Virginia
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 6: had a chance to vote for a black woman for
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 6: governor over the white woman. Oh, guess which one they chose?
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 6: The white one. Right? There's so many examples that, why
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 6: didn't you do this? Why didn't more Democrats come out
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 6: and vote for Kamala Harris? Are they racist? Because Republicans
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 6: weren't going to vote for her because they're voting for
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 6: Donald J. Trump, the greatest president we ever had.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 28: Right?
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 6: But there was a chance to have a black female.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 16: Guess what?
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 6: They didn't want it. They didn't want it. She was there.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 6: And it's all besides the point because in 2008, We
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 6: had a black president. Don't say black people can't do
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 6: stuff here. They can't go in a tent. You think
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 6: Barack Obama can't go in a tent? He has a
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 6: mansion on Martha's Vineyard. He has a mansion in Hawaii.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 6: He has a mansion in Chicago. He has a mansion
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 6: in D.C. He's a hundred millionaire.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: How did a community..
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 6: It's absurd to keep organizing..
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: Well, stand by. How did a community organize? Ron Verb
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: from the Kingdom of Mahoning, 3.55 in the afternoon. Jake,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: it's just... Listen, I like J.J., J.J. the Liberal, and

• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: apply to him. So the young man that was stabbed
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: apparently said, hey, you got to go, gave him a
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: push out of the tent. He turned around and came
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: back at him and stabbed him in the heart with

  Speaker 1: wants to imply, well, there weren't any black people on
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: a jury.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 9: What?
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: Because they're black? Are they going to say, oh, it's
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: OK for this black kid to stab and kill that
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: white kid? What does color have to do with anything?

  Speaker 2: From ABC News, I'm Michelle Franzen. In Turkey, after meeting
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: with NATO allies and leaders on the sidelines, President Trump
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: spoke to reporters about Iran. He says the memo of
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: understanding is over after Iran fired on vessels in the
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. responding with strikes, but the
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: president says he doesn't think the war will resume.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 29: The Iran war has been a tremendous military success. And,
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 29: you know, I can only answer the question by saying
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 29: they're not going to have a nuclear weapon. I think
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 29: it's been, I was there for one reason that Iran
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 29: cannot have a nuclear weapon. I call it, we denuclearize Iran.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 29: And that's happened.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 16: They will never have a nuclear weapon.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: In Utah, day three of a preliminary hearing underway for

• 1:23:52

• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: has not entered a plea. His attorney's trying to get
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: the death penalty off the table. ABC's Alex Stone has more.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 12: There had been indications that the state was going to
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 12: play video testimony, they had said they were going to,
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 12: of Tyler Robinson's former roommate and romantic partner. which then
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 12: the defense had fought against because they wouldn't be able
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 12: to cross-examine, being that it was going to be video recorded.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 12: But they indicated that they're going to be done after
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 12: their two witnesses. So they may have decided they don't
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 12: need to play that, that they don't have to put
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 12: that out there and let everybody know what they've got
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 12: with that and let the defense know unnecessarily what they've
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 12: got and what the roommate said to them.

• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: he was admitted to the hospital on June 14th, but

  Speaker 2: there has been few updates. Now McConnell's wife Elaine Chao
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: is speaking out.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 31: China, as far as we are aware, prior to this
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 31: medical episode of McConnell's Her presence sparked a lot of
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 31: rumor on social media. Frankly, a lot of this has
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 31: sparked a lot of rumor on social media. She has
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 31: now issued a statement to our affiliate WHAS in Louisville, Kentucky,
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 31: and it says in part, quote, the secretary was on
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 31: a long planned trip to China. During the trip, she
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 31: met with a number of people. And then she goes

  Speaker 2: ABC's Jay O'Brien. New details emerging about the Ohio family
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: after 16 children were removed from the home due to
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: deplorable conditions. Four family members charged with child endangerment. Now
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: one defendant, Gary Sider Sr., has been waived bail due
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: to a medical issue.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 32: The prosecutor today said that he is no threat. to
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 32: the public, that he will be treated outside of Vinton County,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 32: because otherwise he would have been on the county's responsibility
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 32: to provide for his medical care. As the prosecutor put it,
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 32: it would have bankrupted Vinton County. Now, if he is
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 32: released from the hospital from there, he will have a
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 32: GPS monitor before this trial begins.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: From ABC News.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: I'm Michelle Franzen.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: In Turkey, after meeting with NATO allies and leaders on
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: the sidelines, President Trump spoke to reporters about Iran. He
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: says the memo of understanding is over after Iran fired
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. responding
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: with strikes, but the president says he doesn't think the
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: war will resume.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 29: The Iran war has been a tremendous military success. And,
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 29: you know, I can only answer the question by saying
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 29: they're not going to have a nuclear weapon. I think
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 29: it's been, I was there for one reason that Iran
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 29: cannot have.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: A nuclear weapon.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 16: I call it, we denuclearize Iran.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: And that's happened.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 16: They will never have a nuclear weapon.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: In Utah, day three of a preliminary hearing underway for
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: Tyler Robinson. He's the man charged in the fatal shooting
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk on campus last year. Robinson
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: has not entered a plea. His attorney's trying to get
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: the death penalty off the table. ABC's Alex Stone has more.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 12: There had been indications that the state was going to
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 12: play video testimony, they had said they were going to,
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 12: of Tyler Robinson's former roommate and romantic partner, which then
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 12: the defense had fought against because they wouldn't be able
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 12: to cross-examine, being that it was going to be video recorded.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 12: But they indicated that they're going to be done after
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 12: their two witnesses. So they may have decided they don't
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 12: need to play that, that they don't have to put
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 12: that out there and let everybody know what they've got
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 12: with that and let the defense know unnecessarily what they've
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 12: got and what the roommate said to them.
• 1:29:07

• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: There are growing bipartisan concerns over the status of Republican
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: Senator Mitch McConnell's health. A spokesperson for the 84-year-old confirmed
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: he was admitted to the hospital on June 14th, but
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: there has been few updates. Now McConnell's wife Elaine Chao
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: is speaking out.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 31: China, as far as we are aware, prior to this
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 31: medical episode of McConnell's her presence sparked a lot of
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 31: rumor on social media. Frankly, a lot of this has
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 31: sparked a lot of rumor on social media. She has
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 31: now issued a statement to our affiliate WHAS in Louisville, Kentucky,
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 31: and it says in part, quote, the secretary was on
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 31: a long-planned trip to China. During the trip, she met
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 31: with a number of people. And then she goes on
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 31: to say that, quote, the senator's health did not warrant
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 31: an immediate return to the U.S.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: ABC's Jay O'Brien. New details emerging about the Ohio family
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: after 16 children were removed from the home due to
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 2: deplorable conditions. Four family members charged with child endangerment. Now
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: one defendant, Gary Sider Sr., has been waived bail due
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: to a medical issue.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 32: The prosecutor today said that he is no threat. to
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 32: the public that he will be treated outside of Vinton County,
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 32: because otherwise he would have been on the county's responsibility
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 32: to provide for his medical care. As the prosecutor put it,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 32: it would have bankrupted Vinton County. Now, if he is
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 32: released from the hospital from there, he will have a
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 32: GPS monitor before this trial begins.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: ABC's Alex Brashe, Michelle Franzen.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: So I don't know where to go with that call
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: of JJ's Jake. I mean, that's I just don't know
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: where to go with that.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 6: Look, we just went through the whole Supreme Court fight
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 6: about so-called birthright citizenship. The Reconstruction Amendments 13, 14, and 15,
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 6: you can just ask your phone. It'll tell you what
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 6: the Reconstruction Amendments are, and it'll tell you what they're for.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 6: They were to protect the slaves and make the slaves'
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 6: lives better. But a million years later... Democrats won't take
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 6: yes for an answer, and they're saying, nah, anybody can
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 6: come here from anywhere. That's what it meant.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 6: Really, that's what we're doing? We're taking away the benefit
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 6: that blacks got in 1868, 100 years before I was born.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 6: They got a benefit, and Democrats want to take it
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 6: away today. It boggles my mind why they won't– it's
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 6: like they won't accept black people flourishing and defend all
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 6: the bad ones. Defend all the bad ones, right? I
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 6: think me and Ron can sit here and say, that
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 6: white scumbag redneck family down in southern Ohio should all
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 6: be put to death. What's his name? Mitch McConnell and
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 6: his wife. Yeah, the Republicans. Mitch McConnell's white. His wife's
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 6: pretty white. And they're horrible people. They're terrible people. The Bidens,
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 6: the same thing. They're evil white people. Yes, we get it.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 6: It's probably not this high school kid wasn't evil and
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 6: deserved to be stabbed because the black kid in high school,
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 6: in a public high school in Texas, was being oppressed.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 6: It's just, why do we have to keep dragging this up?
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 6: Do you not have anything else to do? You're going
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 6: to keep dragging race into everything? It doesn't affect, what
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 6: would you say, 90, 95% of people aren't affected by
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 6: it at all?
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 6: You just go through your life and you walk through
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 6: the giant eagle. There's black people in there. Are you
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 6: scared of them? Do you want to shoot them out
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 6: of the giant eagle? No, we just go and live
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 6: our lives. But some people are stuck on this race thing,
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 6: which is which has been gone. When was MLK 68?
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 6: I think it was assassinated. We're so far— we did the
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 6: busing thing. We did everything. And for Christ's sake, just
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 6: take it. We had eight years of a black president.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 6: What higher level in America can you be? He lived
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 6: in a lap of luxury because of his white grandparents
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 6: all his life, and he continues to do it today.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 6: And you know what? White people like J.J. and Ron
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 6: Ver voted for him.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because it doesn't matter. Because we don't care. If
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 6: Ben Carson would have been the last man standing instead
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 6: of Donald J. Trump, we would have voted for Ben Carson.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 6: Because we sat through eight disgusting years of Democrat-run bullcrap
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 6: that ruined our lives. And we wanted it different. And
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 6: we would have taken anything. But the racist on the
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 6: other side, Joe Biden says, I'm going to pick a
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 6: black person to be my vice president. I'm going to
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 6: pick a black person for the Supreme Court. Holy racist.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 5: How can you say that?
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 6: You didn't say, I'm going to pick the best person.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 6: You said, I'm going to pick a black person. We're
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 6: so far past it, and they keep hanging on to it,
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 6: and I pray that they'll stop because it'll make America
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 6: better when the leftists stop with the oppressor-oppressed stuff. I
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 6: appreciate it, Ron, and I'm with you.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Jay. I appreciate it.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 33: All right.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: Ron Verb from the Kingdom of Mahoning, you're on the air.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 11: Yes, is this Ron?
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is, dear.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 11: I'm going to tell you my name is Tolk, and
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 11: that stands for the old lady. I got a video
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 11: this morning telling me I had won this crazy prize
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 11: that I entered maybe 10 years ago. And they said
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 11: I would receive $ 988, 000. $ 312, 000 would be my federal taxes.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 11: But to pay my state tax, I had to send $ 850. Now,
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 11: I was a bookkeeper for many, many, many years.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're not stupid, right? You didn't fall for this.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 11: No, I didn't fall for it. But I tried to
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 11: call Chase Bank and tell them that they wanted me
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 11: to go in and open a new account at Chase
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 11: Bank and send this woman... money, $ 850. And he asked me,
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 11: and I mean, I know I was on video and I,
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 11: I'm in a t-shirt and my hair isn't done. When
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 11: I go out, people think I'm in my seventies. I'm
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 11: almost 90. And it just made me so angry. And
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 11: they said, now, when you go down to the bank,
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 11: you get this check mailed for your state tax to
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 11: this woman. They gave me an account number and routing number.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 11: And it just made my blood boil. For one thing,
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 11: I hadn't entered this. It was Publishers Clearinghouse.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 25: I haven't made.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 11: An entry to them for probably eight or ten years.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 11: And then they say, now don't tell anybody. You tell
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 11: them that this woman you're sending the money to is
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 11: a friend.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: Pause for just a second. I mean, this kind of
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: stuff really gets to me because in many cases they
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: prey on older people like you and they're successful at
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: it because they just do stupid things. I mean, you
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: haven't entered Publishers Clearinghouse. I got one of these myself.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: I think it was a text message or something on it. And,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is just, it's so obvious that these
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: are just scams.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 3: Well, whatever.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 11: I look like my hair is white. My hair is
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 11: very nice. When I dress up, people think I'm in
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 11: my 70s. And I tried to call Chase Bank because
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 11: they told me I had to go to Chase Bank
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 11: and open a new account because that's where my check
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 11: had to be cashed and all this. And I know
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 11: you're very popular, and I know you're popular with some
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 11: elderly people, and I'm just hoping that nobody falls for it.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 11: And it was supposed to be $ 850 for state taxes.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 11: Now he's a bookkeeper for over 60 years. So I
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 11: know out of a million dollars, the state is going
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 11: to get a lot more than $ 850.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 16: I know.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: They think you're old and stupid. And unfortunately, we see locally,
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: if you follow the news, some old people are old
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: and stupid and fall for this stuff. I hate to
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: say it.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 3: Well, they're not stupid.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 11: They just don't understand.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: No, they are because they fall for it.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 11: And they want to do everything by email or video
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 11: or something like that. They just want to cheat old people.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: No, let me back up on it. Let me go
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: back to my original statement. They want to cheat stupid people.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: For example, they try to cheat these guys like, oh,
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: some lonely guy, if you send me some money, I'm
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: going to come and visit you. I live in wherever, Russia, whatever.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, he finds some horny young woman
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: that thinks he's the one for them. And she's going
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: to come over here and be with him if he'll
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: just send her $ 5, 000 to make the trip over. How
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: many stupid guys fall for this stuff? Let me just
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: tell you. How many stupid guys to this day you
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: know when you go online and you're hitting on some
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: of these– uh, girls that are there that you're not
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: talking to a girl. You're talking to some undercover cop.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: You're an adult man. And you think you're talking to
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: some 15 or 16 year old girl. That's interested in
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: having sex with some 55, uh, year old guy with
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: a pot belly. And, and you're trying to arrange a
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: meeting with this girl and hook it up. And if
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: you aren't cognizant that, first of all, that that's a
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: bad idea to begin with, if you don't have enough
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: standards to say that's stupid to begin with. But number two,
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: if you haven't seen over the years, and I mean years,
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: that those are usually the cops. And when you get there,
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: you're going to get arrested. Then you truly are stupid
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: and you truly are an idiot. You don't have any
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: morals and you're stupid that you would fall for something
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: like that. If you think a publisher's clearinghouse and you say, gee,
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't enter a publisher's clearinghouse. This sounds like a
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: load of crap, but you follow through with it anyway.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: It's an act of stupidity. I mean, somebody dupes you
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: because of your stupidity.
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 11: They gave me her name.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: I don't care. I just don't care. It is stupidity.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: Do you not agree? They are preying on old people
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: because they think they're vulnerable and stupid. And you're not
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: vulnerable and stupid.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 11: Because they're old.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 11: And I'm fortunate that I am not.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 9: Correct.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's face it. You said you're 90. I mean,
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: you're an old battle axe. There's no doubt about that.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: But the reality is you're not stupid, right?
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 11: Exactly.
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 7: Exactly.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 11: And I'm not senile.
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 7: Exactly.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 11: And physically, I'm in good condition. So it's just, I
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 11: know that, you know, Some of your people have parents and,
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 11: you know, and I don't know. I don't I don't
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 11: know if they knew how old I was.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: They don't have it. They don't have anything or anything
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: about you other than they're trying to scam you.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 11: They came on video so they could see me.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: Well, why did you FaceTime them or whatever?
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 3: No, I didn't.
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 11: I didn't.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: Well, how did they come on video for you?
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 11: I just, it said I had a video, so I
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 11: pressed on, I'm not, I'm pretty computer.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: Well, why would you do that? Why, you know, here's
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: my advice to you.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 11: I thought it was somebody I knew sending me a video,
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 11: so I pressed on it.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: Don't do that.
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 11: Then when I'm thinking about this, I'm thinking... This has
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 11: got to be a scam.
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: It's called phishing.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 11: I mean, I was a bookkeeper until I was 81
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 11: years old.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: You've told me that. But it's a phishing scam. You
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: don't push on something that you don't know. You don't push.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: You don't open up a link you don't know. You
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: don't push on a text message link. You can't do
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. It's just foolish to do it.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 6: I understand that.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 26: Right.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: But you did it anyway.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 11: I've been called before, and they wanted to know my
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 11: Social Security number.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: Well, don't give it to them.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 11: That I'm just paying up on.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: Right. You never give somebody your Social Security number or
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: your Medicare number or any of your bank account number
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: or any of this stuff. But, I mean, I'm just
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: saying on a routine basis, how much stupidity do we see?
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: People are victims of their own stupidity, like I say.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: And it's not always age-based. I mean, it seems like
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: they always like to prey on the elderly. to to
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: get them to do this stuff and believe me when
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: i tell you it will get more sophisticated as time
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: goes on with ai the scammers with ai everything's going
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: to get a lot more uh it'll seem a lot
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: more authentic or real than it actually is but uh
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: i would not uh You just got to be on
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: your guard at all times, no matter what age you are.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, you see these young teenage kids that think
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: they're talking to some other teenage girl on some social
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: site or something. And she says, well, send me a
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: picture of your private parts. And the stupid kid does it.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: And it isn't some teenage girl and the person on
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: the other end says, well, now that I have this,
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: I'm going to post it on Facebook in your area
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: or something unless you pay me $ 1, 000. Well, that's just
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: an act of loneliness and stupidity. I don't know how
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: to define that. I have absolutely no idea of how.
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: How do you define somebody by saying, hey, it seems
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: like a good idea. I'm going to take a picture
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: of my junk and I'm going to send it to
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: somebody I don't know. Or even send it to somebody
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean, you've got to be an idiot
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: to do something like that.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 11: Remember when some senator or something was sending pictures.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: Of his private part? Anthony Weiner, yeah.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 11: My grandson, he was like, in his teens at the time,
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 11: he was like, Well, what's the big deal about that?
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 11: I said, what do you think would happen if your
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 11: father sent pictures of his private parts to some woman?
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 11: And my grandson said, oh, my God, that would have
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 11: been awful. My mother would not have liked that.
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, think about it. It's just a lousy idea.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: Just don't do it. And I don't care if you're
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: in a long-term relationship because they can end in divorce.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: They can end up in a breakup. And then the
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: next thing you know, that person's going to hang that
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: over your head to post it on. Well, you see
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: it all the time. They were married. They get divorced.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: He posts pictures of her. that she sent him privately
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: to her friends and that kind of stuff to try
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: to embarrass her because he hates her now because she
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: broke his heart. I'm telling you, this is a crazy-ass world. Crazy. But,
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: you know, like I said, and I commend you as
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: an old badlax, you didn't fall for it. God bless you.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 11: That's right. I am an old badlax.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 1: But you didn't fall for it. You didn't fall for it.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 11: That's right.
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: But I'm going to tell you this.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 11: I'm going to warn people when they start telling you
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 11: you've got.
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 7: To get a check from the case bank and you
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 7: have to.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 11: Open an account there and all that stuff. Just warn
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 11: other old people.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: You're doing it yourself right now. But next time, promise
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: me this. Whether you're online or in a text message,
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: do not click on a link you know nothing about
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: because it can cause you a lot of problems, okay?
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 11: I know that.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 11: But this video, I never got.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 7: A video message ever before.
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 10: Goodbye.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: I can't take it anymore. It's just like, did you
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: have a program yesterday when I was talking with the
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: great HVAC guru himself, Bob Dieter? Most honest guy in
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: heating and cooling. And these people are just trying to
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: take advantage of old people. Like he says, you know,
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: they come out and they tell some old person whose
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: furnace is only 10 years old, you need to rip
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: it out and replace it. And it's just a crock
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 1: of crap and how frustrated he gets when he sees
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: that happening. Too much scamming going on out there.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 10: On News Radio 570, WKBN.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: All right. So I don't know where to go with
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: that call of JJ's Jake. I mean, that's I just
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: don't know where to go with that.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 6: Look, we just went through the whole Supreme Court fight
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 6: about so-called birthright citizenship. The Reconstruction Amendments 13, 14, and 15,
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 6: you can just ask your phone. It'll tell you what
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 6: the Reconstruction Amendments are, and it'll tell you what they're for.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 6: They were to protect the slaves and make the slaves'
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 6: lives better. But a million years later... The Democrats won't
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 6: take yes for an answer, and they're saying, nah, anybody
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 6: can come here from anywhere. That's what it meant. Really? Really,
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 6: that's what we're doing? We're taking away... the benefit that
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 6: blacks got in 1868, 100 years before I was born.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 6: They got a benefit, and Democrats want to take it
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 6: away today. It boggles my mind why they won't. It's
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 6: like they won't accept black people flourishing. Right? And defend
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 6: all the bad ones. Defend all the bad ones, right?
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 6: I think me and Ron can sit here and say,
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 6: that white scumbag redneck family down in southern Ohio should
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 6: all be put to death. What's his name? Mitch McConnell
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 6: and his wife. Yeah, the Republicans. Mitch McConnell's white. His
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 6: wife's pretty white. And they're horrible people. They're terrible people.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 6: The Bidens, the same thing. They're evil white people. Yes,
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 6: we get it. it's probably not this high school kid
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 6: wasn't evil and deserved to be stabbed because the black
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 6: kid in high school, in a public high school in Texas,
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 6: was being oppressed. It's just, why do we have to
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 6: keep dragging this up? Do you not have anything else
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 6: to do? You're going to keep dragging race into everything?
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 6: It doesn't affect, what would you say, 90, 95% of
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 6: people aren't affected by it at all?
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 6: You just go through your life and you walk through
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 6: the giant eagle. There's black people in there. Are you
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 6: scared of them? Do you want to shoot them out
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 6: of the giant eagle? No, we just go and live
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 6: our lives. But some people are stuck on this race thing,
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 6: which is which has been gone. When when was MLK 68?
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 6: I think it was assassinated. We're so far— we did the
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 6: busing thing.
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 5: We did everything.
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 6: And for Christ's sake, just take it. We had eight
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 6: years of a black president. What higher level in America
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 6: can you be? He lived in a lap of luxury
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 6: because of his white grandparents all his life, and he continues.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 5: To do it today.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 6: And you know what? White people like J.J. and Ron
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 6: Verbe voted for him.
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 5: Right? Yeah, because it doesn't matter.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 6: Because we don't care. If Ben Carson would have been
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 6: the last man standing instead of Donald J. Trump, we
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 6: would have voted for Ben Carson. Because we sat through
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 6: eight disgusting years of Democrat-run bullcrap that ruined our lives.
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 6: And we wanted it different. And we would have taken anything.
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 6: But the racist on the other side, Joe Biden says,
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 6: I'm going to pick a black person to be my
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 6: vice president. I'm going to pick a black person for
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 6: the Supreme Court. Holy racist.
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 5: How can you say that?
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 6: You didn't say, I'm going to pick the best person.
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 6: You said, I'm going to pick a black person. We're
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 6: so far past it, and they keep hanging on to it,
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 6: and I pray that they'll stop because it'll make America
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 6: better when the leftists stop with the oppressor-oppressed stuff. I
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 6: appreciate it, Ron, and I'm with you.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Jay. Appreciate it. All right. Ron Verb from
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 1: the Kingdom of Mahoning, you're on the air.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 11: Yes, is this Ron?
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is, dear.
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 11: Okay. I'm going to tell you my name is Tolk,
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 11: and that stands for the old lady. I got a
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 11: video this morning telling me I had won this crazy
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 11: prize that I entered maybe 10 years ago. And they
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 11: said I would receive $ 988, 000, $ 312, 000 would be my federal taxes,
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 11: But to pay my state tax, I had to send $ 850. Now,
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 11: I was a bookkeeper for many, many, many years.
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're not stupid, right? You didn't fall for this.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 11: No, I didn't fall for it. But I tried to
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 11: call Chase Bank and tell them that they wanted me
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 11: to go in and open a new account at Chase
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 11: Bank and send this woman... Money, $ 850. And he asked me,
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 11: and I mean, I know I was on video, and
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 11: I'm in a T-shirt and my hair isn't done. When
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 11: I go out, people think I'm in my 70s. I'm
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 11: almost 90. And it just made me so angry. And
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 11: they said, now, when you go down to the bank,
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 11: you have to get this check mailed for your state
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 11: tax to this woman. They gave me an account number
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 11: and routing number. And it just made my blood boil.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 11: For one thing, I hadn't entered this. It was Publishers Clearinghouse.
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 11: I haven't made an entry to them for probably eight
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 11: or ten years. And then they say, now don't tell anybody.
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 11: You tell them that this woman you're sending the money
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 11: to is a friend.
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: Pause for just a second. I mean, this kind of
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: stuff really gets to me because in many cases they
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: prey on older people like you and they're successful at
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: it because they just do stupid things. I mean, you
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 1: haven't entered Publishers Clearinghouse. I got one of these myself.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 1: I think it was a text message or something on it. And,
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is just, it's so obvious that these
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: are just scams.
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 4: Well, whatever.
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 11: My hair is white. My hair is very nice. When
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 11: I dress up, people think I'm in my 70s. I
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 11: tried to call Chase Bank because they told me I
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 11: had to go to Chase Bank and open a new
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 11: account because that's where the check, you know, that's where
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 11: my check had to be cashed and all this. And
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 11: I just, I know you're very popular, and I know
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 11: you're popular with some elderly people, and I'm just hoping
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 11: that nobody falls for it. And it was supposed to
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 11: be $ 850 for state taxes. Now he's a bookkeeper for
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 11: over 60 years. So I know out of a million dollars,
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 11: the state is going to get a lot more than $ 850.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 1: They think you're old and stupid. And unfortunately, we see locally,
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 1: if you follow the news, some old people are old
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: and stupid and fall for this stuff. I hate to
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: say it.
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 11: Well, they're not stupid.
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 6: They just don't understand.
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: No, they are because they fall for it.
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 11: And they want to do everything by email or video
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 11: or something like that. They just want to cheat old people.
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 1: No, let me back up on it. Let me go
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: back to my original statement. They want to cheat stupid people.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 1: For example, they try to cheat these guys like, oh,
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 1: some lonely guy, if you send me some money, I'm
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: going to come and visit you. I live in wherever, Russia, whatever.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, he finds some horny young woman
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 1: that thinks he's the one for them. And she's going
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 1: to come over here and be with him if he'll
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 1: just send her $ 5, 000 to make the trip over. How
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 1: many stupid guys fall for this stuff? Let me just
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: tell you. How many stupid guys to this day you
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: know when you go online and you're hitting on some
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 1: of these– girls that are there that you're not talking
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 1: to a girl, you're talking to some undercover cop. You're
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: an adult man and you think you're talking to some
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 1: 15 or 16 year old girl that's interested in having
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: sex with some 55 year old guy with a pot belly.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: And you're trying to arrange a meeting with this girl
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: and hook it up. And if you aren't cognizant that,
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: first of all, that that's a bad idea to begin with.
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: If you don't have enough standards to say that's stupid
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: to begin with. But number two, if you haven't seen
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 1: over the years, and I mean years, that those are
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: usually the cops. And when you get there, you're going
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 1: to get arrested. Then you truly are stupid and you
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 1: truly are an idiot. You don't have any morals and
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: you're stupid that you would fall for something like that.
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 1: If you think a publisher's clearinghouse and you say, gee,
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 1: I didn't enter publisher's clearinghouse. This sounds like a load
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 1: of crap, but you follow through with it anyway. It's
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 1: an act of stupidity. I mean, somebody dupes you because
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 1: of your stupidity.
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 11: They gave me her name and bank routing numbers.
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 1: I don't care. I just don't care. It is stupidity.
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 1: Do you not agree? They are preying on old people
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: because they think they're vulnerable and stupid. And you're not
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 1: vulnerable and stupid. Because they're old.
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 11: And I'm fortunate that I am not.
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 9: Correct.
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's face it. You said you're 90. I mean,
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 1: you're an old battle ax. There's no doubt about that.
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: But the reality is you're not stupid, right?
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 11: Exactly.
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 23: Exactly.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 11: I'm not senile.
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 34: I haven't.
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 11: And physically, I'm in good condition. So it's just I
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 11: know that, you know, some of your people have parents and,
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 11: you know, And I don't know. I don't know if
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 11: they knew how old I was.
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 1: They don't know anything about you other than they're trying
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 1: to scam you.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 11: They came on video so they could see me.
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 1: Well, why did you FaceTime them or whatever?
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 34: No, I didn't.
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 5: I didn't.
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: Well, how did they come on video for you?
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 11: It said I had a video. so I pressed on.
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 11: I'm pretty computer.
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 1: Well, why would you do that? Here's my advice to you.
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 5: I thought it was somebody I knew sending me a.
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 11: Video, so I pressed on it.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: Don't do that.
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 11: When I'm thinking about this, I'm thinking... This has got
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 11: to be a scam.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 1: It's called phishing.
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 11: I was a bookkeeper until I was 81 years old.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 17: I know.
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 1: You've told me that. But it's a phishing scam. You
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 1: don't push on something that you don't know. You don't push.
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 1: You don't open up a link you don't know. You
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 1: don't push on a text message link. You can't do
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. It's just foolish to do it.
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 13: I understand that.
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 1: But you did it anyway.
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 11: I've been called before, and they wanted to know my
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 11: Social Security number.
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 1: Well, don't give it to them.
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 11: That I just hang up on.
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: You never give somebody your Social Security number or your
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: Medicare number or any of your bank account number or
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 1: any of this stuff. But, I mean, I'm just saying
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 1: on a routine basis, how much stupidity do we see?
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 1: People are victims of their own stupidity, like I say.
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: And it's not always age-based. I mean, it seems like
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 1: they always like to prey on the elderly to get
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 1: them to do this stuff. And believe me when I
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 1: tell you, it will get more sophisticated as time goes
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 1: on with A.I., The scammers with AI, everything's going to
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 1: get a lot more– it'll seem a lot more authentic
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: or real than it actually is. But I would not–
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 1: you just got to be on your guard at all times,
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 1: no matter what age you are. I mean– I mean,
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 1: you see these young teenage kids that think they're talking
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: to some other teenage girl on some social site or something.
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: And she says, well, send me a picture of your
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: private parts. And the stupid kid does it. And it
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 1: isn't some teenage girl. And the person on the other
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: end says, well, now that I have this, I'm going
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: to post it on Facebook in your area or something
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 1: unless you pay me $ 1, 000. Well, that's just an act
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 1: of loneliness and stupidity. I don't know how to define that.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 1: I have absolutely no idea of how do you define
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 1: somebody by saying, hey, it seems like a good idea.
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take a picture of my junk and
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 1: I'm going to send it to somebody I don't know.
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: Or even send it to somebody you know. I mean,
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 1: you've got to be an idiot to do something like that.
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 11: Remember when some senator or something was sending pictures.
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 1: Of his private part? Anthony Weiner, yeah.
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 11: My grandson, he was like in his teens at the time. Well,
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 11: what's the big deal about that? I said, what do
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 11: you think would happen if your father sent pictures of
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 11: his private parts to some woman? And my grandson said, oh,
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 11: my God, that would have been awful. My mother would
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 11: not have liked that.
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, think about it. It's just a lousy idea.
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 1: Just don't do it. And I don't care if you're
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 1: in a long-term relationship because they can end in divorce.
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 1: They can end up in a breakup. And then the
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 1: next thing you know, that person's going to hang that
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 1: over your head to post it on Facebook. Well, you
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 1: see it all the time. Some, they were married, they
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 1: get divorced. He posts pictures of her that she sent
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 1: him privately to her friends and that kind of stuff
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 1: to try to embarrass her because he hates her now
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 1: because she broke his heart. I'm telling you, this is
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 1: a crazy ass world. Crazy. But, you know, like I said,
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 1: and I commend you as an old battle axe, you
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 1: didn't fall for it. God bless you.
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 11: I am an old bad luck.
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 1: I know, but you didn't fall for it. You didn't
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 1: fall for it. But I'm going to tell you this.
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 11: I'm warning people when they start telling you you've got
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 11: to get a check from the case bank and you
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 11: have to open an account there and all that stuff.
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 11: Just warn other old people.
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 1: Right. You're doing it yourself right now. But next time,
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 1: promise me this. Whether you're online or in a text message,
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 1: do not click on a link you know nothing about
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 1: because it can cause you a lot of problems, okay?
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 11: I know that.
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 11: But this video, I never got a video message ever before.
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 7: Goodbye.
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: I can't take it anymore. It's just like, did you
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: have a program yesterday when I was talking with the
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: great HVAC guru himself, Bob Dieter, the most honest guy
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 1: in heating and cooling? These people are just trying to
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: take advantage of old people. Like he says, you know,
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 1: they come out and they tell some old person whose
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 1: furnace is only 10 years old, you need to rip
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 1: it out and replace it. And it's just a crock
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 1: of crap and how frustrated he gets when he sees
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 1: that happening. Too much scamming going on out there. Your
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: friend Sean.
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 15: News Radio 570 WKBN. I'm Ron Verb on News Radio
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 15: 570 WKBN.
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 1: And you're on the air.
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 33: Okay, Ron, you'll have to give me a break today.
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 33: I aggravated my hernia yesterday.
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 1: What did you do to cause that?
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 33: Yeah, I caused it. I went to the weight room
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 33: and looked at weights too heavy and what I should have.
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 33: It's like the third time in 10 years I've done
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 33: this now.
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: Did you ever have it fixed, your hernia repaired?
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 33: They said have surgery, but I looked it up and
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 33: A lot of doctors don't recommend it at all, but anyways.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 1: It can cause you some serious problems. I mean, you
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 1: can have some serious intestinal issues. You better get that
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 1: looked at, my friends.
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 33: Well, if it doesn't get better, I will, but it
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 33: always gets better. But I wanted to say about all
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 33: the dumb scams, even the smartest people in this country
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 33: fall for the... biggest scam of all, the Federal Reserve.
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 33: You know that when they created the Federal Reserve in 1913,
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 33: that they can create money out of thin air. And
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 33: the way it works is, let's say, the Federal Reserve
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 33: creates $ 100 million and gives it to Bank of America,
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 33: and Bank of America employees go into work, and the
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 33: next day there's $ 100.
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 28: Million in.
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 33: In Bank of America's personal account for free.
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 1: Well, that's why they call it fiat currency. I mean,
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 1: you're making a good point. I mean, when we were
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 1: on a gold standard, it had something to back it up.
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 1: Now it's just the full faith and trust of the
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 1: federal government. And you're right. They can print as much
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 1: as they want, and look what happens. It devalues all
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 1: the dollars that are already out there.
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 33: Well, they have what's called... reserve ratio requirement for, say,
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 33: for example, if it was 20%. Bank of America could
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 33: loan out $ 80 million of that $ 100 million to Bank D,
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 33: then Bank B could loan out 80% of their $ 80
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 33: million to Bank C. But you know what happened three
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 33: years ago? The Federal Reserve Reserve Ratio requirement was was eliminated.
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 33: In other words, they can loan out as much money
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 33: as they want. They get $ 100 million, loan out $ 100 million.
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 33: Get another $ 100 million, loan it all out. And that
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 33: is what's driving inflation, worse than it's ever been. And
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 33: that's why Trump said the other day, the stock market
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 33: is going to go through the roof. I mean, he
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 33: knows what he's talking about in this regard.
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but let me ask you this when you talk
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 1: about that. We are right back with, I mean, does
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 1: it surprise anybody, this Iran deal? And now we're right
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 1: back to where we were because I see the market.
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 1: When you talk about it, the Dow was down 576 today.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 1: The S & P was down 2100. Dow slides more
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 1: than 570 points as oil spikes. And Trump threatens another attack.
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, this reminds me of the tariffs. Remember when
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 1: the tariffs were on, the tariffs were off, and how
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 1: that affected the market. Now we're right back with this
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 1: situation with Iran. Oh, there's a ceasefire in 60 days,
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 1: we'll see. Should everything should work out? Well, now he's saying,
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 1: as you heard him, well, you can't trust anything Iran
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 1: is saying. So this is just like a ping pong game. So, OK,
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 1: now we're back to doing some bombing. You know, well,
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 1: they did this to these ships. So we have to
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 1: send retaliate on this kind of stuff. And so now
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 1: the uncertainty is back as far as that entire region
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 1: is concerned, and it screws up the stock market, your retirement.
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 1: It screws up the price of oil. It just messes
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 1: everything up. This is just an ongoing mess he created.
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 1: Would you agree?
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 33: Yeah, I would agree. And that's the reason I call
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 33: your show and the reason I called today, despite being
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 33: in pain, because I said to you on the second day,
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 33: that this war started, I said, this is all a
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 33: bunch of bullcrap. I said, the leaders in Iran are
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 33: getting rich off of this war. The leaders in Israel
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 33: are getting rich off this war. The politicians, the multi-billionaires
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 33: in America are getting rich off of this war. They
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 33: shoot a few missiles and a few drones and don't
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 33: kill any leaders. Same thing with the Russian-Ukraine war.
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 28: You know, Ron, the only.
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 33: Generals that I know of that were killed..
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 1: Stand by, Frank. Fort Lauderdale. Frank, stand by. Ron Furb,
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570 WKBN from the Kingdom of Mahoning. Here tonight
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 1: on this Wednesday until 6 o'clock. I'll be right back.
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 10: Radio 570 WKBN.
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: Ron Furb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN, and you're on the air.
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 33: Okay, Ron, you'll have to give me a break today.
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 33: aggravated my hernia yesterday.
• 2:08:23

  Speaker 33: Yeah, I caused it. I went to the weight room

  Speaker 33: Oh, they said have surgery, but I looked it up
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 33: and a lot of doctors don't recommend it at all,
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 33: but Anyways.
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 1: It can cause you some serious problems. I mean, you
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 1: can have some serious intestinal issues. You better get that
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 1: looked at, my friends.
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 33: Well, if it doesn't get better, I will, but it
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 33: always gets better. But I wanted to say about all

  Speaker 1: back to where we were because I see the market.
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 1: When you talk about it, the Dow was down 576 today.
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 1: The S & P was down 2100. Dow slides more
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 1: than 570 points as oil spikes, and Trump threatens another attack.
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, this reminds me of the tariffs. Remember when
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 1: the tariffs were on, the tariffs were off, and how
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 1: that affected the market. Now we're right back with this
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 1: situation with Iran. Oh, there's a ceasefire in 60 days.
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 1: Everything should work out. Well, now he's saying, as you
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 1: heard him, well, you can't trust anything Iran is saying.
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 1: So this is just like a ping pong game. So, okay,
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 1: now we're back to... doing some bombing. Well, they did
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 1: this to these ships, so we have to retaliate on
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. And so now the uncertainty is
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 1: back as far as that entire region is concerned, and
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 1: it screws up the stock market, your retirement. It screws
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 1: up the price of oil. It messes everything up. This
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 1: is just an ongoing mess he created. Would you agree?
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 33: Yeah, I would agree. And that's the reason I call
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 33: your show and the reason I called today. despite being
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 33: in pain, because I said to you on the second
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 33: day that this war started, I said, this is all
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 33: a bunch of bullcrap. I said, the leaders in Iran
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 33: are getting rich off of this war. The leaders in
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 33: Israel are getting rich off this war. The politicians, the
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 33: multi-billionaires in America are getting rich off of this war.
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 33: They shoot a few missiles and a few drones and
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 33: don't kill any leaders. Same thing with the Russian-Ukraine war.
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 33: You know, Ron, the only generals that I know of
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 33: that were killed.
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 1: Stand by, Frank. Fort Lauderdale. Frank, stand by. Ron Furb,

• 2:13:47
  Speaker 10: News Radio 570 WKBN.

• 2:13:58
  Speaker 17: roundup of men attempting to meet an underage child for
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 17: sexual activity. Elena Hagans, who runs the prosecutor's office Ohio
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 17: Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, says the men thought
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 17: they were communicating online with a child in their younger
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 17: teens for sex, having sexually explicit online conversations. When they
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 17: arrived at the house where they were to meet, The
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 17: 25 men were arrested. Latest on the case of 16
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 17: kids found living in alleged horrible conditions in Vinton County.
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 17: The kid's grandfather, Gary Sider Sr., out of jail now
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 17: on a personal recognizance bond. And the kid's parents and
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 17: grandmother remain behind bars after waiving their right to preliminary hearings.

  Speaker 10: Never sounded so good.
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 1: All right, back to it. NewsRadio 570, Dodie Kagan and
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 1: Ron Verp, 435. But, hey, in retrospect, I mean, if
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 1: you're asking me, do I think you were right? Because
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 1: I know in the very beginning you were opposed to
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 1: Trump getting involved in this situation from the very beginning
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 1: and that he was duped into it. I think that
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 1: I agree with that. And I think you're seeing... you're
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 1: seeing the situation just get dragged on, is all I
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 1: can say. Would we have been better off if this
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 1: would have never happened? My answer is yes. Listen, I
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 1: think he solved the problem with the bunker buster as
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 1: far as the nuclear threat was concerned, and through monitoring
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 1: it through our NSA, I wasn't the least bit worried
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 1: about Iran and a nuclear weapon. I think the bunker
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 1: buster worked, but I think he was duped into it
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 1: by Israel, And he thought it would be easier than
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 1: it is. And I think it's been a monumental mistake
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 1: that's having a huge effect on and a continuing effect
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 1: and a future effect as well on how the Strait
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 1: is now operated with fees to go through it and
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 1: in the ongoing situation at UC. I just think he
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 1: created this problem. He being Donald Trump created it.
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 33: And I said on day two of this war, called
• 2:16:08
  Speaker 33: your show. I said, it's not going to be over
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 33: in two days, two weeks. It's going to drag on
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 33: and on and on because everybody's getting rich. Remember, we
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 33: used to talk about the Iran-Iraq war. Oh, you know,
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 33: the Illuminati and the big banks were financing both sides
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 33: that we found out later. Remember that?
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 1: That reminds me of the point that you made. When
• 2:16:41
  Speaker 1: you get into these military conflicts, what was it, Eisenhower, right,
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 1: that said beware of the military complex? Well, I think
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 1: the point you're saying is people make money on these situations.
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's people that this stuff becomes very profitable
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 1: for them.
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 33: Well, you know, the memorandum of understanding, in order to
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 33: get peace, we're going to have to give Iran money. $ 500,
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 33: what is it, billion dollars or million dollars to reconstruct
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 33: the country that us in Israel destroyed. I wonder how
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 33: much of that money they're going to use to buy
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 33: more military equipment from us in Israel and whoever.
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 1: Well, I remember they were saying, any of this, what,
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 1: $ 300 million, none of it is coming from the United States.
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 1: We're not giving them our tax dollars to rebuild their country.
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 1: And I certainly hope not.
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 8: Well, you know what?
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 33: This war will just keep going on. America's already bankrupt, right?
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 1: What, $ 40- something trillion in debt?
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 33: Of course. What did Warren Buffett say? He said, you know,
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 33: he's pretty much out of the market except for commodities
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 33: and fertilizer stocks. He said, I'm forecasting huge tax increases
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 33: across the board.
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 5: And they run..
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 33: They're not going to be able to raise taxes enough
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 33: just to serve the national debt. They're going to have
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 33: to start creating money like there's new..
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 1: Here's the problem, though, Frank. The first thing you've got
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 1: to do is cut spending. I mean, we continue, not we,
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 1: these people that are in charge continue to operate as
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 1: though this debt and deficit means nothing. And it continues
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 1: to grow at an astronomical number. And they totally are
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 1: oblivious to it. They being Republicans and Democrats are totally
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 1: oblivious to it. And let's start getting things in line.
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 1: Let's start cutting spending. Like Massey said, we can't afford
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 1: to give any foreign aid. We are broke as a country.
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 1: And actually, you would know better than anyone, it's more
• 2:18:52
  Speaker 1: than $ 40 trillion. I mean, it's kind of some tricky
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 1: book work. It's actually more than that. But by God,
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 1: they're going to come to a point where they're going
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 1: to want to crap on you if you're on Social
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 1: Security or Medicare or Medicaid or whatever. because of where
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 1: they're driving this country. And the problem is the people
• 2:19:11
  Speaker 1: that are making the decisions, they'll be just fine in
• 2:19:13
  Speaker 1: their retirements and their benefits. They won't suffer the consequences
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 1: of the decisions they made and to continue to spend.
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 1: I am so against wasteful government spending. I'm so against
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 1: the Democrats' belly aching every time you try to cut
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 1: a program. I'll tell you something, Frank. What they did
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 1: to Musk was reprehensible. And when Musk was exposing some
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 1: of this spending, which was just ludicrous, where people were
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 1: feeding at the trough and our tax dollars were going
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 1: to these ridiculous sexual programs in these other countries, the
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 1: country as a whole should have been outraged at it,
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 1: should have said this should have never started. Who's behind it?
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 1: And instead, the Democrats attacked Musk. They called Hitler a Nazi.
• 2:19:58
  Speaker 1: They attacked his dealerships. They attacked his customers. So who's
• 2:20:02
  Speaker 1: going to take this on now? After you did that
• 2:20:06
  Speaker 1: to Musk, who's going to come forth and say, with technology,
• 2:20:10
  Speaker 1: let's look at all the government spending that's going on
• 2:20:13
  Speaker 1: and try to knock out the ridiculousness of it? And
• 2:20:16
  Speaker 1: I'll answer my own question. No one's going to take
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 1: it on. So it'll just continue to go on, and
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 1: we'll continue to go down this dark hole, and the
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 1: crap will hit the fan. I'm with you 100%, Frank,
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 1: on it.
• 2:20:28
  Speaker 33: Well, when Carter, I mean, Clinton was president, I said, Ron,
• 2:20:33
  Speaker 33: when they audit military spending.
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, and it should be audited.
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 33: How many hundreds of billions of dollars are unaccounted for? Today,
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 33: what is it, trillions.
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 7: Unaccounted for now?
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 5: Yep, yep.
• 2:20:46
  Speaker 13: Where'd all that.
• 2:20:46
  Speaker 33: Money go in a black hole?
• 2:20:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and can you afford to do that continuously? Uh-huh.
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 24: I mean..
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 33: No, that's why Trump says, hey, you know, the states
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 33: are going to have to raise your taxes in order
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 33: to take over Social Security and Medicare because we're going
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 33: to need all the money for war spending and for
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 33: interest on the national... Well, I haven't... Nothing left over. Rodney,
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 33: you've pointed out many times to your credit... The younger
• 2:21:14
  Speaker 33: generation are going to pay taxes and taxes and taxes.
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 33: And what benefits are they going to get? Are they
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 33: going to get social security?
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 5: Are they going to get Medicare?
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 33: All that taxes they paid in?
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 1: Well, you get me because what do I dwell on here?
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 1: I constantly complain about local politicians that lack the insights
• 2:21:40
  Speaker 1: to cut spending and reduce property taxes so young people
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 1: can afford to buy a home. The property taxes are
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 1: out of control. They're too high for old people or
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 1: too high for young people trying to stay in a
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 1: home and buy a home. But it falls on deaf ears.
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 1: These guys continue to grow government. They can't cut spending.
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 1: They continue to make the problem worse on a local level.
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 1: This isn't just on a federal level. This ridiculous spending
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 1: is happening on a local level. On a federal level,
• 2:22:07
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. The entire military budget should be
• 2:22:10
  Speaker 1: looked at in its entirety. And the country is going broke.
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 1: You won't be able to tax your way out of
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 1: this problem and..
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sitting here thinking this is ridiculous that
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 1: we're trillions of dollars in debt. We're spending money today,
• 2:22:31
  Speaker 1: strapping future generations, expecting them to pay for what we
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 1: spent now 10 years from now. This is insanity. I'm
• 2:22:39
  Speaker 1: offended by it. Republicans and Democrats are to blame for it.
• 2:22:43
  Speaker 1: And I do think that the economy will suffer tremendously
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 1: when the crap hits the fan.
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 33: And I have one last thing to say.
• 2:22:51
  Speaker 1: What?
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 33: One of your previous callers, oh, the Democrats about slavery
• 2:22:57
  Speaker 33: and they just want to keep it going and going. Ron,
• 2:23:01
  Speaker 33: that is the whole game plan. Get Republicans and Democrats
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 33: fighting against each other. Get Independents fighting against each other. Ron,
• 2:23:12
  Speaker 33: I have always said, it's the uniparty. They all serve
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 33: the same masters. I don't give a damn what the
• 2:23:20
  Speaker 33: Democrats want to do. I don't give a damn what
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 33: the Republicans want to do. When it comes to war,
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 33: when it comes to raising taxes, how many times have
• 2:23:29
  Speaker 33: we heard, Ron, in our lives, oh, you elect us,
• 2:23:33
  Speaker 33: the Republicans say, you elect us, we're going to cut
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 33: your taxes. We're going to control spending. And what happens
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 33: when they get in the office? They're just as bad
• 2:23:44
  Speaker 33: or worse than the Democrats, aren't they?
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 1: Well, the debt continues to go up, and we haven't
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 1: had enough spending cuts at all. All right, Frank, take
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 1: care of yourself. Go see your doctor. All right. NewsRadio 570.
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 1: What do you got? And, Ron, I mean, it's what
• 2:24:02
  Speaker 1: I talked to you about. I mean, I am genuinely
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 1: deeply concerned what we're doing to our younger generations. Listen.
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 1: you know as well as I do, I'm 68 years
• 2:24:18
  Speaker 1: old and going to be 69 in February. I'm not
• 2:24:22
  Speaker 1: going to be around forever, but I'm deeply troubled because
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 1: I have adult children and I'm sure they'll have children.
• 2:24:30
  Speaker 1: The idea that this spending just continues to go on,
• 2:24:33
  Speaker 1: that we're spending today and we're $ 45 trillion in debt,
• 2:24:37
  Speaker 1: we're just spending today and we expect future generations to
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 1: somehow pay off when some date in the future, what
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 1: we're spending today, in addition to cover the expenses at
• 2:24:49
  Speaker 1: that time, is ludicrous. And I don't think it's right.
• 2:24:56
  Speaker 1: I understand why younger generations get pissed. And they have
• 2:25:00
  Speaker 1: every right to be. I can sit back and say,
• 2:25:04
  Speaker 1: maybe we better analyze why some of these democratic socialists
• 2:25:07
  Speaker 1: are getting elected, because there are many young people who
• 2:25:09
  Speaker 1: feel that this system has betrayed them. They're saying, well,
• 2:25:13
  Speaker 1: they work and they make a good income, but they
• 2:25:15
  Speaker 1: can't get anywhere. It's difficult. Rent's high. It's difficult to
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 1: buy a home. Medical expenses are out of control. The
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 1: cost of everything is out of control. So they're looking
• 2:25:27
  Speaker 1: around at the economy and they're saying, where's my piece
• 2:25:29
  Speaker 1: of the pie? Where's my American dream? And I think
• 2:25:34
  Speaker 1: we better pay attention to that. Because I think the
• 2:25:38
  Speaker 1: gap is getting too wide between the haves and the have-nots.
• 2:25:42
  Speaker 1: And I've said it to you before and I'll say
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 1: it to you again. Revolutions are fought on hungry bellies.
• 2:25:50
  Speaker 1: And you have to give some consideration. I mean, just
• 2:25:55
  Speaker 1: some of the dumb stuff that we do. Hey, we
• 2:25:57
  Speaker 1: have a housing shortage. Well, oh, I'm Joe Biden. Let's
• 2:26:00
  Speaker 1: have an open border and let millions of people come
• 2:26:01
  Speaker 1: into the country illegally. Well, they're going to have to
• 2:26:03
  Speaker 1: find a place to rent and a house. You think
• 2:26:06
  Speaker 1: that's going to make the housing shortage better or worse? Well,
• 2:26:10
  Speaker 1: it made it worse. Things got better when Trump started
• 2:26:13
  Speaker 1: running them out of the country because the demand went down.
• 2:26:18
  Speaker 1: It's supply and demand. I mean, some of these government
• 2:26:21
  Speaker 1: decisions are so damn stupid and we pay the price
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 1: for them. It's ridiculous. As I said, did anybody get
• 2:26:28
  Speaker 1: a vote on Joe Biden opening the border, letting millions
• 2:26:31
  Speaker 1: of people come into your country unaccounted for illegally? Do
• 2:26:35
  Speaker 1: you remember voting on whether or not you agreed with that?
• 2:26:39
  Speaker 1: Do you remember you having a say in it other
• 2:26:42
  Speaker 1: than it just happens that Congress didn't vote on it,
• 2:26:45
  Speaker 1: that Biden just did it? And you were supposed to
• 2:26:50
  Speaker 1: just sit there and take it and pay the bills
• 2:26:52
  Speaker 1: for all these people, pay for their food, pay for
• 2:26:54
  Speaker 1: their rent, pay all of this stuff, billions of dollars
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 1: month after month as they stayed in these hotels. And
• 2:27:03
  Speaker 1: the country went further in debt. And your message was
• 2:27:07
  Speaker 1: get off your ass, go to work, pay your taxes. Well,
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 1: these people, they're just sitting around. Do you feel your
• 2:27:13
  Speaker 1: government has betrayed you in doing something like that? I
• 2:27:15
  Speaker 1: sure as hell do. I think it's betrayed me, totally
• 2:27:19
  Speaker 1: betrayed me and my country, watering down my citizenship by
• 2:27:24
  Speaker 1: bringing all these other people in. We got enough people. Frankly,
• 2:27:31
  Speaker 1: I think we should stop everything. Frankly, we should deport
• 2:27:34
  Speaker 1: people that are here illegally, period. coming here is a
• 2:27:39
  Speaker 1: privilege it's not a right and coming here illegally is
• 2:27:42
  Speaker 1: wrong and out you go you want to come come
• 2:27:46
  Speaker 1: back the right the right way but we should cut
• 2:27:48
  Speaker 1: back on how many people we take for a while
• 2:27:57
  Speaker 1: but don't hold your breath for that to happen Because
• 2:28:02
  Speaker 1: everybody says, well, we want all these people to come
• 2:28:04
  Speaker 1: because there is this mindset of, hey, they're cheaper labor.
• 2:28:09
  Speaker 1: So let's get more of these people and we can
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 1: get cheap labor because Americans want too much money. Gee,
• 2:28:14
  Speaker 1: they want to actually get enough money to make a
• 2:28:16
  Speaker 1: living to be able to survive and pay their bills.
• 2:28:18
  Speaker 1: They don't want to be the working poor. So you
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 1: go to work and you're not making a go of it.
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 1: They would like a wage that keeps somewhat up with
• 2:28:25
  Speaker 1: inflation and they can actually make a living. They can
• 2:28:28
  Speaker 1: actually be rewarded for going to work and doing the
• 2:28:30
  Speaker 1: right thing. instead of saying, I'm doing all of this,
• 2:28:33
  Speaker 1: and I'm not getting ahead, and I'm falling further behind.
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 1: That's why so many young people are pissed, and what's
• 2:28:38
  Speaker 1: happening to so many people in the workforce. So when
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 1: you start to see that happen, that's when you see
• 2:28:47
  Speaker 1: people say, well, this isn't working, and they vote for
• 2:28:49
  Speaker 1: the Democrat Socialist, or they start talking about basic income,
• 2:28:53
  Speaker 1: and all this other nonsense. That in the long term
• 2:28:56
  Speaker 1: won't work, but they're looking at the short term, and
• 2:28:59
  Speaker 1: how their system betrayed them, as it currently is. Look,
• 2:29:04
  Speaker 1: I heard the same thing when I was young. You know,
• 2:29:06
  Speaker 1: when you get old, Social Security won't be there for you.
• 2:29:08
  Speaker 1: I heard the same nonsense when I was young. I
• 2:29:10
  Speaker 1: didn't buy it then, and I'm old, and Social Security
• 2:29:13
  Speaker 1: is still here. And I tell my kids the same thing.
• 2:29:16
  Speaker 1: I do not support a government that says, oh, we're
• 2:29:19
  Speaker 1: going to bolster up Social Security, but we're going to
• 2:29:22
  Speaker 1: make changes so the full retirement age, instead of making
• 2:29:25
  Speaker 1: it 67, we're going to make it 70. I don't
• 2:29:27
  Speaker 1: support that at all. I support leaving Medicare at 65.
• 2:29:33
  Speaker 1: Leave it at 67 as far as the full retirement age.
• 2:29:37
  Speaker 1: Don't raise it to 70 because the only hope in
• 2:29:39
  Speaker 1: that is, well, you'll die before you collect it or
• 2:29:42
  Speaker 1: you won't live very long when you collect it. And
• 2:29:46
  Speaker 1: I can tell you from a personal level, as I
• 2:29:49
  Speaker 1: have aged, I haven't physically, you physically don't get better.
• 2:29:55
  Speaker 1: Things seem to deteriorate. just part of the aging process
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 1: it's just the reality you have to deal with what
• 2:30:06
  Speaker 1: do we expect you know should i expect my children
• 2:30:09
  Speaker 1: to say oh you know before you can hit your
• 2:30:11
  Speaker 1: full retirement age you got to work till you're 70
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 1: well doesn't that depend what you do for a living
• 2:30:16
  Speaker 1: doesn't that depend on your uh how long your your
• 2:30:21
  Speaker 1: uh dna is on living doesn't that depend on what
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 1: you do for a living Because I think as you
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 1: get older, obviously there are changes that take place, physically
• 2:30:33
  Speaker 1: and mentally. And it's a reality. Tell some guy that's
• 2:30:40
  Speaker 1: a roofer, oh, you've got to work until you're 70.
• 2:30:43
  Speaker 1: Tell some guy that works hard in a factory, you've
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 1: got to work until you're 70 or whatever, that actually
• 2:30:49
  Speaker 1: does physical work. And tell some people that mentally that
• 2:30:56
  Speaker 1: they got to go till 70. There's a reason they
• 2:30:57
  Speaker 1: make pilots retire at 65. I mean, it's just so ridiculous.
• 2:31:09
  Speaker 1: But I really don't think we should just ignore why
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 1: some of these Democrat socialists are winning in some of
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 1: these elections. We should pay attention to it. And we
• 2:31:17
  Speaker 1: should start taking a look at what we're doing to
• 2:31:20
  Speaker 1: our country with this debt and deficit, with the decisions
• 2:31:23
  Speaker 1: that are being made that you don't have a say-so on,
• 2:31:28
  Speaker 1: with the gap growing between the haves and have-nots, with
• 2:31:31
  Speaker 1: what effect inflation has had. And we should start addressing
• 2:31:35
  Speaker 1: it and trying to fix the issue. We've got to
• 2:31:40
  Speaker 1: stop taking so much of people's money from them through taxes.
• 2:31:46
  Speaker 1: There's so much to work on here. It'll make it
• 2:31:48
  Speaker 1: impossible for anybody to survive, the elderly or the young.
• 2:31:52
  Speaker 1: We'll be right back.
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 10: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 2:31:59
  Speaker 1: All right, back to it. NewsRadio 570, Dodie Kagan and
• 2:32:02
  Speaker 1: Ron Verp, 435. But in retrospect, I mean, if you're
• 2:32:06
  Speaker 1: asking me, do I think you were right? Because I
• 2:32:08
  Speaker 1: know in the very beginning you were opposed to Trump
• 2:32:10
  Speaker 1: getting involved in this situation from the very beginning and
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 1: that he was duped into it. I think that I
• 2:32:15
  Speaker 1: agree with that. And I think you're seeing the situation
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 1: just get dragged on, is all I can say. Would
• 2:32:24
  Speaker 1: we have been better off if this would have never happened?
• 2:32:28
  Speaker 1: My answer is yes. Listen, I think he solved the
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 1: problem with the bunker buster as far as a nuclear
• 2:32:33
  Speaker 1: threat was concerned, and through monitoring it through our NSA,
• 2:32:38
  Speaker 1: I wasn't the least bit worried about Iran and a
• 2:32:41
  Speaker 1: nuclear weapon. I think the bunker buster worked, but I
• 2:32:44
  Speaker 1: think he was duped into it by Israel, and he
• 2:32:47
  Speaker 1: thought it would be easier than it is. And I
• 2:32:49
  Speaker 1: think it's been a monumental mistake that's having a huge
• 2:32:52
  Speaker 1: effect on– and a continuing effect– And a future effect
• 2:32:57
  Speaker 1: as well on how the Strait is now operated with
• 2:33:01
  Speaker 1: fees to go through it and the ongoing situation at UC.
• 2:33:06
  Speaker 1: I just think he created this problem. He being Donald
• 2:33:08
  Speaker 1: Trump created it.
• 2:33:11
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 2:33:11
  Speaker 33: And I said on day two of this war, called
• 2:33:15
  Speaker 33: your show. I said, it's not going to be over
• 2:33:18
  Speaker 33: in two days, two weeks. It's going to drag on
• 2:33:21
  Speaker 33: and on and on because everybody's getting rich. Remember, we
• 2:33:27
  Speaker 33: used to talk about the Iran-Iraq War. Oh, you know,
• 2:33:35
  Speaker 33: the Illuminati and the big banks were financing both sides
• 2:33:40
  Speaker 33: that we found out later. Remember that?
• 2:33:45
  Speaker 1: That reminds me of the point that you made. When
• 2:33:48
  Speaker 1: you get into these military conflicts, what was it, Eisenhower, right,
• 2:33:53
  Speaker 1: that said beware of the military complex? Well, I think
• 2:33:55
  Speaker 1: the point you're saying is people make money on these situations.
• 2:33:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's people that this stuff becomes very profitable
• 2:34:02
  Speaker 1: for them.
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 33: Well, you know, the memorandum of understanding, in order to
• 2:34:08
  Speaker 33: get peace, we're going to have to give Iran money. $ 500,
• 2:34:13
  Speaker 33: what is it, billion dollars or million dollars to reconstruct
• 2:34:18
  Speaker 33: the country that us in Israel destroyed. I wonder how
• 2:34:23
  Speaker 33: much of that money they're going to use to buy
• 2:34:26
  Speaker 33: more military equipment from us in Israel and whoever.
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I remember they were saying, any of this, what,
• 2:34:34
  Speaker 1: $ 300 million, none of it is coming from the United States.
• 2:34:37
  Speaker 1: We're not giving them our tax dollars to rebuild their country.
• 2:34:41
  Speaker 1: And I certainly hope not.
• 2:34:44
  Speaker 8: Well, you know what?
• 2:34:45
  Speaker 33: This war will just keep going on. America's already bankrupt, right?
• 2:34:51
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, we're, what, $ 40- something trillion in debt, of course.
• 2:34:56
  Speaker 33: What did Warren Buffett say? He said, you know, he's
• 2:35:00
  Speaker 33: pretty much out of the market except for commodities and
• 2:35:03
  Speaker 33: fertilizer stocks. He said, I'm forecasting huge tax increases across
• 2:35:11
  Speaker 33: the board. And they're not going to be able to
• 2:35:16
  Speaker 33: raise taxes enough just to serve the national debt. They're
• 2:35:22
  Speaker 33: going to have to start creating money. like there's no tomorrow.
• 2:35:26
  Speaker 1: Here's the problem, though, Frank. The first thing you've got
• 2:35:29
  Speaker 1: to do is cut spending. I mean, we continue, not we,
• 2:35:33
  Speaker 1: these people that are in charge continue to operate as
• 2:35:35
  Speaker 1: though this debt and deficit means nothing, and it continues
• 2:35:38
  Speaker 1: to grow at an astronomical number, and they totally are
• 2:35:41
  Speaker 1: oblivious to it, they being Republicans and Democrats. are totally
• 2:35:45
  Speaker 1: oblivious to it. And let's start getting things in line.
• 2:35:50
  Speaker 1: Let's start cutting spending. Like Massey said, we can't afford
• 2:35:53
  Speaker 1: to give any foreign aid. We are broke as a country.
• 2:35:56
  Speaker 1: And actually, you would know better than anyone, it's more
• 2:35:58
  Speaker 1: than $ 40 trillion. I mean, it's kind of some tricky
• 2:36:01
  Speaker 1: book work. It's actually more than that. But by God,
• 2:36:04
  Speaker 1: they're going to come to a point where they're going
• 2:36:06
  Speaker 1: to want to crap on you if you're on Social
• 2:36:08
  Speaker 1: Security or Medicare or Medicaid or whatever. because of where
• 2:36:15
  Speaker 1: they're driving this country. And the problem is the people
• 2:36:17
  Speaker 1: that are making the decisions, they'll be just fine in
• 2:36:20
  Speaker 1: their retirements and their benefits. They won't suffer the consequences
• 2:36:24
  Speaker 1: of the decisions they made and to continue to spend.
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 1: I am so against wasteful government spending. I'm so against
• 2:36:32
  Speaker 1: the Democrats' belly aching every time you try to cut
• 2:36:35
  Speaker 1: a program. I'll tell you something, Frank. What they did
• 2:36:38
  Speaker 1: to Musk was reprehensible. And when Musk was exposing some
• 2:36:43
  Speaker 1: of this spending, which was just ludicrous, where people were
• 2:36:46
  Speaker 1: feeding at the trough and our tax dollars were going
• 2:36:48
  Speaker 1: to these ridiculous sexual programs in these other countries, the
• 2:36:53
  Speaker 1: country as a whole should have been outraged at it,
• 2:36:56
  Speaker 1: should have said this should have never started. Who's behind it?
• 2:36:59
  Speaker 1: And instead, the Democrats attacked Musk. They caught Hitler, Nazi.
• 2:37:05
  Speaker 1: They attacked his dealerships. They attacked his customers. So who's
• 2:37:09
  Speaker 1: going to take this on now? After you did that
• 2:37:12
  Speaker 1: to Musk, who's going to come forth and say, with technology,
• 2:37:16
  Speaker 1: let's look at all the government spending that's going on
• 2:37:19
  Speaker 1: and try to knock out the ridiculousness of it? And
• 2:37:23
  Speaker 1: I'll answer my own question. No one's going to take
• 2:37:25
  Speaker 1: it on. So it'll just continue to go on. And
• 2:37:28
  Speaker 1: we'll continue to go down this star. hole, and the
• 2:37:31
  Speaker 1: crap will hit the fan. I'm with you 100%, Frank,
• 2:37:34
  Speaker 1: on it.
• 2:37:35
  Speaker 33: Well, when Carter, I mean, Clinton was president, I said, Ron,
• 2:37:40
  Speaker 33: when they audit military spending, how many hundreds of billions
• 2:37:46
  Speaker 33: of dollars are unaccounted for? Today, what is it, trillions
• 2:37:50
  Speaker 33: are accounted for now?
• 2:37:51
  Speaker 13: Yep, yep.
• 2:37:52
  Speaker 33: Where'd all that money go in a black hole?
• 2:37:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and can you afford to do that continuously?
• 2:37:57
  Speaker 5: Uh-huh.
• 2:37:58
  Speaker 1: I mean..
• 2:37:58
  Speaker 33: Well, that's why Trump says, hey, you know, the states
• 2:38:02
  Speaker 33: are going to have to raise your taxes in order
• 2:38:05
  Speaker 33: to take over Social Security and Medicare because we're going
• 2:38:09
  Speaker 33: to need all the money for war spending and for
• 2:38:12
  Speaker 33: interest on the national... Well, I haven't... Nothing left over... Rodney,
• 2:38:17
  Speaker 33: you've pointed out many times to your credit, the younger
• 2:38:20
  Speaker 33: generation are going to pay taxes and taxes and taxes.
• 2:38:25
  Speaker 33: And what benefits are they going to get? Are they
• 2:38:27
  Speaker 33: going to get social security?
• 2:38:32
  Speaker 5: Are they going to get Medicare?
• 2:38:34
  Speaker 33: All that taxes they paid in?
• 2:38:36
  Speaker 1: Well, you get me because what do I dwell on here?
• 2:38:41
  Speaker 1: I constantly complain about local politicians that lack the insight
• 2:38:47
  Speaker 1: to cut spending and reduce property taxes so young people
• 2:38:51
  Speaker 1: can afford to buy a home. The property taxes are
• 2:38:53
  Speaker 1: out of control. They're too high for old people or
• 2:38:56
  Speaker 1: too high for young people trying to stay in a
• 2:38:58
  Speaker 1: home and buy a home. But it falls on deaf ears.
• 2:39:01
  Speaker 1: These guys continue to grow government. They can't cut spending.
• 2:39:04
  Speaker 1: They continue to make the problem worse on a local level.
• 2:39:08
  Speaker 1: This isn't just on a federal level. This ridiculous spending
• 2:39:11
  Speaker 1: is happening on a local level. On a federal level,
• 2:39:13
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. The entire military budget should be
• 2:39:17
  Speaker 1: looked at in its entirety. And the country is going broke.
• 2:39:22
  Speaker 1: You won't be able to tax your way out of
• 2:39:24
  Speaker 1: this problem and..
• 2:39:30
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 2:39:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sitting here thinking this is ridiculous that
• 2:39:34
  Speaker 1: we're trillions of dollars in debt. We're spending money today,
• 2:39:38
  Speaker 1: strapping future generations, expecting them to pay for what we
• 2:39:42
  Speaker 1: spent now 10 years from now. This is insanity. I'm
• 2:39:46
  Speaker 1: offended by it. Republicans and Democrats are to blame for it.
• 2:39:50
  Speaker 1: And I do think that the economy will suffer tremendously
• 2:39:54
  Speaker 1: when the crap hits the fan.
• 2:39:56
  Speaker 33: And I have one last thing to say.
• 2:39:58
  Speaker 6: What?
• 2:39:58
  Speaker 33: One of your previous callers, oh, the Democrats about slavery
• 2:40:03
  Speaker 33: and they just want to keep it going and going. Ron,
• 2:40:07
  Speaker 33: that is the whole game plan. Get Republicans and Democrats
• 2:40:12
  Speaker 33: fighting against each other. Get independents fighting against each other. Ron,
• 2:40:18
  Speaker 33: I have always said, it's the uniparty. They all serve
• 2:40:23
  Speaker 33: the same masters. I don't give a damn what the
• 2:40:26
  Speaker 33: Democrats want to do. I don't give a damn what
• 2:40:29
  Speaker 33: the Republicans want to do. When it comes to war,
• 2:40:33
  Speaker 33: when it comes to raising taxes, how many times have
• 2:40:36
  Speaker 33: we heard, Ron, in our lives, oh, you elect us.
• 2:40:40
  Speaker 33: The Republicans say, you elect us. We're going to cut
• 2:40:43
  Speaker 33: your taxes. We're going to control spending. And what happens
• 2:40:47
  Speaker 33: when they get in the office? They're just as bad
• 2:40:51
  Speaker 33: or worse than the Democrats, aren't they?
• 2:40:53
  Speaker 1: Well, the debt continues to go up, and we haven't
• 2:40:56
  Speaker 1: had enough spending cuts at all. All right, Frank, take
• 2:40:59
  Speaker 1: care of yourself. Go see your doctor. All right. News
• 2:41:02
  Speaker 1: Radio 570. And, Ron, I mean, it's what I talked
• 2:41:09
  Speaker 1: to you about. I mean, I am genuinely deeply concerned
• 2:41:16
  Speaker 1: what we're doing to our younger generations. Listen. You know
• 2:41:21
  Speaker 1: as well as I do, I'm 68 years old and
• 2:41:25
  Speaker 1: going to be 69 in February. I'm not going to
• 2:41:29
  Speaker 1: be around forever, but I'm deeply troubled because I have
• 2:41:33
  Speaker 1: adult children and I'm sure they'll have children. The idea
• 2:41:37
  Speaker 1: that this spending just continues to go on, that we're
• 2:41:40
  Speaker 1: spending today and we're $ 45 trillion in debt. We're just
• 2:41:44
  Speaker 1: spending today and we expect future generations to somehow pay
• 2:41:49
  Speaker 1: off when some date in the future what we're spending
• 2:41:52
  Speaker 1: today in addition to cover the expenses at that time
• 2:41:56
  Speaker 1: is ludicrous. And I don't think it's right. I understand
• 2:42:03
  Speaker 1: why younger generations get pissed. And they have every right
• 2:42:07
  Speaker 1: to be. I can sit back and say, maybe we
• 2:42:11
  Speaker 1: better analyze why some of these democratic socialists are getting elected.
• 2:42:15
  Speaker 1: Because there are many young people who feel that this
• 2:42:17
  Speaker 1: system has betrayed them. They're saying, well, they work and
• 2:42:20
  Speaker 1: they make a good income, but they can't get anywhere.
• 2:42:23
  Speaker 1: It's difficult. Rent's high. It's difficult to buy a home.
• 2:42:27
  Speaker 1: Medical expenses are out of control. The cost of everything
• 2:42:30
  Speaker 1: is out of control. So they're looking around at the
• 2:42:34
  Speaker 1: economy and they're saying, where's my piece of the pie?
• 2:42:36
  Speaker 1: Where's my American dream? And I think we better pay
• 2:42:41
  Speaker 1: attention to that. Because I think the gap is getting
• 2:42:45
  Speaker 1: too wide between the haves and the have-nots. And I've
• 2:42:48
  Speaker 1: said it to you before and I'll say it to
• 2:42:50
  Speaker 1: you again. Revolutions are fought on hungry bellies.
• 2:42:57
  Speaker 3: And..
• 2:42:59
  Speaker 1: You have to give some consideration. I mean, just some
• 2:43:01
  Speaker 1: of the dumb stuff that we do. Hey, we have
• 2:43:04
  Speaker 1: a housing shortage. Well, oh, I'm Joe Biden. Let's have
• 2:43:06
  Speaker 1: an open border and let millions of people come into
• 2:43:08
  Speaker 1: the country illegally. Well, they're going to have to find
• 2:43:10
  Speaker 1: a place to rent and a house. You think that's
• 2:43:13
  Speaker 1: going to make the housing shortage better or worse? Well,
• 2:43:16
  Speaker 1: it made it worse. Things got better when Trump started
• 2:43:20
  Speaker 1: running them out of the country because the demand went down.
• 2:43:24
  Speaker 1: It's supply and demand. I mean, some of these government
• 2:43:27
  Speaker 1: decisions are so damn stupid and we pay the price
• 2:43:31
  Speaker 1: for them. It's ridiculous. As I said, did anybody get
• 2:43:34
  Speaker 1: a vote on Joe Biden opening the border, letting millions
• 2:43:37
  Speaker 1: of people come into your country unaccounted for illegally? Do
• 2:43:41
  Speaker 1: you remember voting on whether or not you agreed with that?
• 2:43:45
  Speaker 1: Do you remember you having a say in it other
• 2:43:49
  Speaker 1: than it just happens that the Congress didn't vote on it,
• 2:43:52
  Speaker 1: that Biden just did it? And you were supposed to
• 2:43:56
  Speaker 1: just sit there and take it and pay the bills
• 2:43:58
  Speaker 1: for all these people, pay for their food, pay for
• 2:44:01
  Speaker 1: their rent, pay all of this stuff, billions of dollars
• 2:44:04
  Speaker 1: month after month as they stayed in these hotels. And
• 2:44:10
  Speaker 1: the country went further in debt. And your message was
• 2:44:13
  Speaker 1: get off your ass, go to work, pay your taxes. Well,
• 2:44:15
  Speaker 1: these people, they're just sitting around. Do you feel your
• 2:44:19
  Speaker 1: government has betrayed you in doing something like that? I
• 2:44:22
  Speaker 1: sure as hell do. I think it's betrayed me, totally
• 2:44:26
  Speaker 1: betrayed me and my country, watering down my citizenship by
• 2:44:31
  Speaker 1: bringing all these other people in. We got enough people. Frankly,
• 2:44:38
  Speaker 1: I think we should stop everything. Frankly, we should deport
• 2:44:40
  Speaker 1: people that are here illegally, period. Coming here is a privilege.
• 2:44:46
  Speaker 1: It's not a right. And coming here illegally is wrong.
• 2:44:49
  Speaker 1: And out you go. You want to come, come back
• 2:44:53
  Speaker 1: the right way, but we should cut back on how
• 2:44:56
  Speaker 1: many people we take for a while. But don't hold
• 2:45:04
  Speaker 1: your breath for that to happen. Because everybody says, well,
• 2:45:09
  Speaker 1: we want all these people to come because there is
• 2:45:11
  Speaker 1: this mindset of, hey, they're cheaper labor. So let's get
• 2:45:16
  Speaker 1: more of these people and We can get cheap labor
• 2:45:18
  Speaker 1: because Americans want too much money. Gee, they want to
• 2:45:20
  Speaker 1: actually get enough money to make a living to be
• 2:45:23
  Speaker 1: able to survive and pay their bills. They don't want
• 2:45:24
  Speaker 1: to be the working poor. So you go to work
• 2:45:27
  Speaker 1: and you're not making a go of it. They would
• 2:45:29
  Speaker 1: like a wage that keeps someone up with inflation and
• 2:45:32
  Speaker 1: they can actually make a living. They can actually be
• 2:45:35
  Speaker 1: rewarded for going to work and doing the right thing.
• 2:45:38
  Speaker 1: Instead of saying, I'm doing all of this and I'm
• 2:45:40
  Speaker 1: not getting ahead and I'm falling further behind. That's why
• 2:45:43
  Speaker 1: so many young people are pissed and what's happening to
• 2:45:45
  Speaker 1: so many people in the workforce. So when you start
• 2:45:51
  Speaker 1: to see that happen, that's when you see people say, well,
• 2:45:54
  Speaker 1: this isn't working, and they vote for the Democrat Socialist,
• 2:45:57
  Speaker 1: or they start talking about basic income and all this
• 2:46:00
  Speaker 1: other nonsense. That in the long term won't work, but
• 2:46:04
  Speaker 1: they're looking at the short term and how the system
• 2:46:06
  Speaker 1: betrayed them as it currently is. Look, I heard the
• 2:46:11
  Speaker 1: same thing when I was young. You know, when you
• 2:46:13
  Speaker 1: get old, Social Security won't be there for you. I
• 2:46:15
  Speaker 1: heard the same nonsense when I was young. I didn't
• 2:46:17
  Speaker 1: buy it then, and I'm old, and Social Security is
• 2:46:19
  Speaker 1: still here. And I tell my kids the same thing.
• 2:46:23
  Speaker 1: I do not support a government that says, oh, we're
• 2:46:26
  Speaker 1: going to bolster up Social Security, but we're going to
• 2:46:29
  Speaker 1: make changes so the full retirement age, instead of making
• 2:46:31
  Speaker 1: it 67, we're going to make it 70. I don't
• 2:46:33
  Speaker 1: support that at all. I support leaving Medicare at 65,
• 2:46:39
  Speaker 1: leave it at 67 as far as the full retirement age.
• 2:46:43
  Speaker 1: Don't raise it to 70 because the only hope in
• 2:46:46
  Speaker 1: that is, well, you'll die before you collect it or
• 2:46:48
  Speaker 1: you won't live very long when you collect it. And
• 2:46:52
  Speaker 1: I can tell you from a personal level, as I
• 2:46:55
  Speaker 1: have aged, you physically don't get better. Things seem to deteriorate.
• 2:47:03
  Speaker 1: It's just part of the aging process. It's just the
• 2:47:10
  Speaker 1: reality you have to deal with. What do we expect?
• 2:47:14
  Speaker 1: Should I expect my children to say, oh, before you
• 2:47:16
  Speaker 1: can hit your full retirement age, you got to work
• 2:47:19
  Speaker 1: till you're 70? Well, doesn't that depend what you do
• 2:47:22
  Speaker 1: for a living? Doesn't that depend on how long your
• 2:47:28
  Speaker 1: DNA is on living? Doesn't that depend on what you
• 2:47:31
  Speaker 1: do for a living? Because I think as you get older,
• 2:47:35
  Speaker 1: obviously there are changes that take place. physically and mentally.
• 2:47:41
  Speaker 1: And it's a reality. Let's tell some guy that's a roofer, oh,
• 2:47:47
  Speaker 1: you got to work till you're 70. Tell some guy
• 2:47:50
  Speaker 1: that works hard in a factory, you got to work
• 2:47:51
  Speaker 1: till you're 70 or whatever, that actually does physical work.
• 2:47:59
  Speaker 1: And tell some people that mentally that they got to
• 2:48:02
  Speaker 1: go till 70. There's a reason they make pilots retire
• 2:48:05
  Speaker 1: at 65 or I mean, it's just so ridiculous. But
• 2:48:16
  Speaker 1: I really don't think we should just ignore why some
• 2:48:19
  Speaker 1: of these Democrat socialists are winning in some of these elections.
• 2:48:21
  Speaker 1: We should pay attention to it, and we should start
• 2:48:24
  Speaker 1: taking a look at what we're doing to our country
• 2:48:27
  Speaker 1: with this debt and deficit, with the decisions that are
• 2:48:29
  Speaker 1: being made that you don't have a say-so on, with
• 2:48:35
  Speaker 1: the gap growing between the haves and have-nots, with what
• 2:48:37
  Speaker 1: effect inflation has had, And we should start addressing it.
• 2:48:45
  Speaker 1: And trying to fix the issue. We've got to stop
• 2:48:47
  Speaker 1: taking so much of people's money from them through taxes.
• 2:48:52
  Speaker 1: There's so much to work on here. We're going to
• 2:48:54
  Speaker 1: make it impossible for anybody to survive, the elderly or
• 2:48:58
  Speaker 1: the young. We'll be right back. Ron Furb, 454 Newsradio 570.
• 2:49:10
  Speaker 1: And you're on the air.
• 2:49:13
  Speaker 16: Hey, Ron.
• 2:49:13
  Speaker 8: Happy 250.
• 2:49:15
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 2:49:15
  Speaker 8: Keep it all year long, right?
• 2:49:17
  Speaker 16: Yep.
• 2:49:19
  Speaker 8: I just want to leave a positive review for Dieter
• 2:49:21
  Speaker 8: the Heater.
• 2:49:22
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:49:23
  Speaker 8: I have a 88-year-old neighbor lady. Last week in the heat,
• 2:49:31
  Speaker 8: her air conditioner went out. I called him after hours.
• 2:49:35
  Speaker 8: He came the next morning. fixed her up, fixed the
• 2:49:39
  Speaker 8: air conditioner, got her up and running. And I think,
• 2:49:43
  Speaker 8: you know, maybe saved her health and saved her life.
• 2:49:46
  Speaker 8: So God bless that man. If you have any heating
• 2:49:49
  Speaker 8: and cooling situations, call Dieter because he'll hook you up.
• 2:49:53
  Speaker 3: He's fair.
• 2:49:54
  Speaker 8: He's very knowledgeable. He's a great guy.
• 2:49:57
  Speaker 1: Well, he's honest. Listen, and that's what's most important of all.
• 2:50:01
  Speaker 1: That's As I said, you've got to be careful when
• 2:50:06
  Speaker 1: you get a guy to come out to repair your
• 2:50:07
  Speaker 1: thing and who's paid on commission so he makes more
• 2:50:10
  Speaker 1: money if he tells you your 10-year-old furnace is shot
• 2:50:13
  Speaker 1: and you've got to put a new one in when
• 2:50:15
  Speaker 1: it's absolutely ridiculous. Your furnace should last you 20 years.
• 2:50:18
  Speaker 1: And Dieter knows how to fix and repair this kind
• 2:50:22
  Speaker 1: of stuff, boilers, furnaces, all that kind of stuff. So
• 2:50:26
  Speaker 1: if you knew the stories that he will tell me
• 2:50:29
  Speaker 1: privately and tell me the names of these companies... that
• 2:50:33
  Speaker 1: come out and pull these shenanigans and say, you know,
• 2:50:35
  Speaker 1: tell me, and I fixed this for $ 400 and they
• 2:50:38
  Speaker 1: told this person they needed a $ 14, 000 entire new system.
• 2:50:42
  Speaker 1: He said, it's a crime, basically. It's just ripping people off.
• 2:50:48
  Speaker 3: Well, that's right.
• 2:50:49
  Speaker 8: And, you know, because she was elderly, he came right
• 2:50:52
  Speaker 8: out because he cared.
• 2:50:53
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:50:54
  Speaker 8: He wanted to take care of her. So I just
• 2:50:57
  Speaker 8: wanted to shout out to him. I really appreciate it
• 2:50:59
  Speaker 8: on behalf of my neighbor and, uh, He's a really
• 2:51:02
  Speaker 8: good guy. So God bless. We need more businesses like that.
• 2:51:07
  Speaker 6: In this area.
• 2:51:08
  Speaker 1: I'm in total agreement with you. I thank you for that.
• 2:51:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, because when you go to your doctor, you
• 2:51:13
  Speaker 1: want your doctor to look at you and have your
• 2:51:17
  Speaker 1: best interest at heart on addressing your problem and dealing
• 2:51:24
  Speaker 1: with your situation. You want your car mechanic to look
• 2:51:29
  Speaker 1: at your vehicle and say, here's what's wrong with it.
• 2:51:32
  Speaker 1: And we think if we do this, it should fix
• 2:51:34
  Speaker 1: your problem. Not try to do a bunch of stuff
• 2:51:38
  Speaker 1: that doesn't need done or tell you something needs done
• 2:51:42
  Speaker 1: and charge you for it and they never do it
• 2:51:44
  Speaker 1: in the first place. I mean, there's got to be
• 2:51:47
  Speaker 1: a certain degree of trust that people have. You've got
• 2:51:50
  Speaker 1: to find competent people to do this kind of stuff.
• 2:51:53
  Speaker 1: And that's why we were talking to him yesterday and
• 2:51:55
  Speaker 1: we were talking because so many people are affected by
• 2:51:58
  Speaker 1: these storms that are going on and so And be careful.
• 2:52:04
  Speaker 1: You know, I'll be the first to tell you that
• 2:52:07
  Speaker 1: if you're interested in getting a whole house generator, you
• 2:52:09
  Speaker 1: won't find a more honorable guy than Mike Craik out
• 2:52:12
  Speaker 1: at their generator specialist. He's a decent human being. Mike
• 2:52:15
  Speaker 1: Craik is just a decent human being. And if you're
• 2:52:18
  Speaker 1: going to get a whole house generator, then you should
• 2:52:20
  Speaker 1: call him a generator specialist because he'll treat you right.
• 2:52:24
  Speaker 1: He's just that type of person. And that's what you
• 2:52:28
  Speaker 1: want in somebody fixing your furnace or fixing your car
• 2:52:30
  Speaker 1: or as a doctor. You don't want somebody that says, okay, well,
• 2:52:34
  Speaker 1: I'm part of some investment group. Well, we have funeral
• 2:52:38
  Speaker 1: homes that have the same family names that aren't owned
• 2:52:40
  Speaker 1: by those families. They were bought by an investment group.
• 2:52:44
  Speaker 1: And what do investment groups usually try to do? Raise
• 2:52:47
  Speaker 1: the price and make more money. Somehow you always get
• 2:52:51
  Speaker 1: screwed by them. I mean, so..
• 2:52:55
  Speaker 13: Dr.
• 2:52:55
  Speaker 1: Allen wrote a great letter to the editor about all
• 2:52:57
  Speaker 1: these veterinarians that are bought up by investment groups. Ron Ferb,

• 2:54:42
  Speaker 1: It's just ripping people off.
• 2:54:44
  Speaker 8: Well, that's right. And, you know, because she was elderly,
• 2:54:47
  Speaker 8: he came right out because he cared.
• 2:54:49
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:54:50
  Speaker 8: He wanted to take care of her. So I just
• 2:54:53
  Speaker 8: wanted to shout out to him. I really appreciate it
• 2:54:56
  Speaker 8: on behalf of my neighbor. And he's a really good guy.

  Speaker 1: All right, 330-729-9977, our top secret number if you want

  Speaker 1: to conversate here today.
• 3:06:19
  Speaker 34: 330-729-9977.
• 3:06:26
  Speaker 1: Look forward to hearing from you. Ron Furb from the
• 3:06:28
  Speaker 1: Kingdom of Mahoning on a Wednesday, July 8th. Hot and
• 3:06:31
  Speaker 1: humid out there to say the least, 87 degrees. Always
• 3:06:34
  Speaker 1: glad you tuned in and you're on the air.
• 3:06:38
  Speaker 3: Hello, Ron.
• 3:06:39
  Speaker 1: Hello.
• 3:06:40
  Speaker 39: I don't know.
• 3:06:41
  Speaker 5: Hello, Ron.
• 3:06:42
  Speaker 39: This is Cindy from Austintown. I don't know if this
• 3:06:46
  Speaker 39: issue has ever been brought up on your program or not,
• 3:06:49
  Speaker 39: but I'm kind of disappointed in two of our Austintown trustees.
• 3:06:55
  Speaker 39: You elect them for office. They plaster their... advertising all over.
• 3:07:02
  Speaker 39: They want to be a trustee so bad they get elected,
• 3:07:06
  Speaker 39: and then they're not loyal to us. They're out looking
• 3:07:08
  Speaker 39: for other jobs. You've got Bruce Shepas. It's not good
• 3:07:13
  Speaker 39: enough to be an Austintown trustee. He has to shoot
• 3:07:16
  Speaker 39: to be a Mahoning County commissioner.
• 3:07:19
  Speaker 5: So he loses.
• 3:07:20
  Speaker 39: So now he's going to serve out his term, but
• 3:07:24
  Speaker 39: should we elect him again? He doesn't want to be
• 3:07:26
  Speaker 39: our trustee, obviously. So then you have the other one
• 3:07:32
  Speaker 39: who just got another job. Why did he run for office?
• 3:07:38
  Speaker 39: Why do these two gentlemen run for office when they
• 3:07:42
  Speaker 39: don't want to serve us? They serve out part of
• 3:07:45
  Speaker 39: their term, and then they're looking for other jobs. So
• 3:07:48
  Speaker 39: I'm just disappointed in them. And I don't think they
• 3:07:53
  Speaker 39: should be reelected to any position because they're not loyal.
• 3:07:57
  Speaker 11: So that's all I have to say.
• 3:08:00
  Speaker 1: I think it's a fair observation to make because you're
• 3:08:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're merely saying the one thing. Wait a minute.
• 3:08:05
  Speaker 1: You guys were. Well, in Santos's case, he just ran
• 3:08:10
  Speaker 1: for reelection, was reelected. So you so that you sought this.
• 3:08:15
  Speaker 1: And now you're telling the people who voted for you, oh,
• 3:08:18
  Speaker 1: see you later. I got a better job. And it
• 3:08:21
  Speaker 1: is a better job that pays a lot more money
• 3:08:25
  Speaker 1: working for the county. So, you know, hey, man, you know,
• 3:08:29
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take this $ 75, 000 a year job and
• 3:08:32
  Speaker 1: go work for the county. And you're saying, but wait
• 3:08:38
  Speaker 1: a minute, you just ran for reelection.
• 3:08:41
  Speaker 39: That should be the first question a voter should ask
• 3:08:46
  Speaker 39: when they're debating. Are you going to serve out your term?
• 3:08:49
  Speaker 5: Are you going to be loyal to us?
• 3:08:52
  Speaker 1: Is it about the position that you ran for in
• 3:08:55
  Speaker 1: serving that term, or is it about you and your career,
• 3:08:58
  Speaker 1: and what's the next opportunity for you? Is what you're asking.
• 3:09:03
  Speaker 1: You're asking, so wait a minute, you wanted to be trustee. Well, no,
• 3:09:08
  Speaker 1: you didn't want to do that. Now you want to
• 3:09:09
  Speaker 1: be commissioner. Now it's okay being trustee. And you just
• 3:09:13
  Speaker 1: got elected trustee, but now you want to go work
• 3:09:16
  Speaker 1: for Monning County. I understand totally what you're saying. I mean,
• 3:09:23
  Speaker 1: I get it. I understand your cause for concern. You're
• 3:09:29
  Speaker 1: saying so. Do you really want this job? I mean,
• 3:09:33
  Speaker 1: it appears to me you didn't really want it, is
• 3:09:37
  Speaker 1: what you're saying.
• 3:09:38
  Speaker 39: Are they seeking other jobs while they're in that position?
• 3:09:42
  Speaker 39: Are they seeking other employment?
• 3:09:43
  Speaker 1: They're seeking their next career move, is what you're saying.
• 3:09:46
  Speaker 1: It becomes all about them. And I fully understand what
• 3:09:54
  Speaker 1: you're saying, and I get what you're saying. Yeah. When
• 3:10:02
  Speaker 1: it becomes about you, you know, I can't, well, I
• 3:10:07
  Speaker 1: understand what you're saying. I understand what you're saying.
• 3:10:10
  Speaker 39: But you're serving the community. So you're more self-serving than
• 3:10:15
  Speaker 39: what you took an oath or a vow to serve
• 3:10:18
  Speaker 39: the community, and then you're gone. So I just wanted
• 3:10:22
  Speaker 39: to bring that subject up and point it out.
• 3:10:25
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that was a fair thing to point out.
• 3:10:28
  Speaker 1: I appreciate your comments. Thank you for it. You're on
• 3:10:31
  Speaker 1: the air.
• 3:10:32
  Speaker 3: Hey, Ron.
• 3:10:33
  Speaker 5: Dick from Dayton.
• 3:10:33
  Speaker 4: I just wanted to tell you about Saturday on the 4th.
• 3:10:38
  Speaker 5: I went over to my friends.
• 3:10:39
  Speaker 4: They had a patriotic group, and we played some cards
• 3:10:43
  Speaker 4: and stuff, and then I came back here, and they
• 3:10:47
  Speaker 4: had another group at Stony Ridge. They were doing, it
• 3:10:50
  Speaker 4: was a marching band saluting the, you know, the people
• 3:10:54
  Speaker 4: that serve their country, and And I've been going to
• 3:10:58
  Speaker 4: Bible school. Jed has some family up there, and he
• 3:11:02
  Speaker 4: picks me up on Sunday. But it was good that
• 3:11:05
  Speaker 4: I think that the media covered our Independence Day good.
• 3:11:09
  Speaker 4: What did you think?
• 3:11:12
  Speaker 1: The Independence Day for the nation? I thought it was spectacular.
• 3:11:14
  Speaker 1: I thought it was absolutely... I said earlier, the fireworks
• 3:11:21
  Speaker 1: were incredible as I watched them on my TV. I
• 3:11:24
  Speaker 1: enjoyed Fox's coverage. I enjoyed when they talked to people
• 3:11:27
  Speaker 1: who came from all over the world to, not all
• 3:11:30
  Speaker 1: over the world, well, maybe all over the world, but
• 3:11:32
  Speaker 1: all over the country, I should say, that they traveled
• 3:11:36
  Speaker 1: to come see this in person and why they went there.
• 3:11:41
  Speaker 1: The fireworks were spectacular. The entire thing was spectacular, and
• 3:11:46
  Speaker 1: it's It bewilders me, as I said earlier, like these
• 3:11:50
  Speaker 1: Elon Omar and people like that that seem to really
• 3:11:52
  Speaker 1: hate this country and think this country should change. in
• 3:11:56
  Speaker 1: their direction. I mean, they come here from some hellhole,
• 3:11:59
  Speaker 1: and then they all they do is bitch about this country,
• 3:12:02
  Speaker 1: even though they're elected to Congress, they make $ 170, 000 or $ 180, 000,
• 3:12:05
  Speaker 1: they've got a great retirement, and somehow this country is
• 3:12:09
  Speaker 1: some evil place. I haven't been able to figure that out. Listen,
• 3:12:12
  Speaker 1: do we have problems in our country? Absolutely. Do we
• 3:12:15
  Speaker 1: have corruption and things we've got to solve? Absolutely. But
• 3:12:19
  Speaker 1: you should thank your lucky stars. You were born in
• 3:12:21
  Speaker 1: the United States of America every day. that gives you
• 3:12:25
  Speaker 1: freedom and opportunity to succeed. You should thank God for it.
• 3:12:29
  Speaker 4: And, you know, there was a lot of people from
• 3:12:31
  Speaker 4: up in your area that came down here, you know,
• 3:12:33
  Speaker 4: with Free For All. One guy was from Wadsworth. One guy, Ravenna.
• 3:12:38
  Speaker 4: One guy from Kent. And one guy from Youngstown, his family.
• 3:12:41
  Speaker 4: That was nice, you know? Yeah, and they talked to me,
• 3:12:45
  Speaker 4: and they said, I hear Dick.
• 3:12:49
  Speaker 5: In Youngstown.
• 3:12:50
  Speaker 4: He did mention the name, but that was kind of nice,
• 3:12:53
  Speaker 4: wasn't it?
• 3:12:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 3:12:55
  Speaker 4: Say hello to JT, will you?
• 3:12:57
  Speaker 1: Will do. Thank you. You're on the air. Hello? Well,
• 3:13:06
  Speaker 1: you had your chance. I waited for you. If you
• 3:13:09
  Speaker 1: would wait for me, 330-729-9977. We'll get you through to us.
• 3:13:11
  Speaker 1: We'll take your calls until 6 tonight.
• 3:13:13
  Speaker 5: 330-729-9977.
• 3:13:13
  Speaker 1: We'll get you through to us.
• 3:13:13
  Speaker 5: 330-729-9977.
• 3:13:23
  Speaker 1: It's 250 years. I mean, I don't know how you
• 3:13:26
  Speaker 1: don't look at something like that and think each and
• 3:13:31
  Speaker 1: every day how lucky you are that you were born
• 3:13:33
  Speaker 1: in this country. And that you have freedom and you
• 3:13:37
  Speaker 1: have opportunity. And you look at so many people that
• 3:13:41
  Speaker 1: don't take advantage of it or take it for granted.
• 3:13:44
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how to describe them or don't
• 3:13:48
  Speaker 1: want to assimilate. So if you don't want to assimilate,
• 3:13:51
  Speaker 1: why did you come here in the first place? And
• 3:13:52
  Speaker 1: why don't you just stay where you are? I mean,
• 3:13:56
  Speaker 1: am I concerned of the direction of this great country
• 3:14:00
  Speaker 1: as we look ahead? Absolutely. I'm concerned about it. I'm
• 3:14:05
  Speaker 1: totally and completely concerned about it. So we have issues
• 3:14:14
  Speaker 1: that we need to deal with. But as I say,
• 3:14:18
  Speaker 1: thank God that you were born in this country and
• 3:14:20
  Speaker 1: that you're in this country and the opportunities that are here.
• 3:14:26
  Speaker 1: and don't sit around and fall into this. I'm a
• 3:14:29
  Speaker 1: victim and belly aching about the United States of America
• 3:14:31
  Speaker 1: because of the decisions that you made. You're on here.
• 3:14:37
  Speaker 11: Ronnie.
• 3:14:37
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 3:14:37
  Speaker 5: I got to ask you.
• 3:14:40
  Speaker 34: What's with this new, uh, three hour format.
• 3:14:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I, I tell you, I tell you something. I mean,
• 3:14:47
  Speaker 1: four hours is, yes, I've, I've been on four hours
• 3:14:50
  Speaker 1: for 41 years. And, uh, It's just something that most
• 3:15:00
  Speaker 1: talk shows are three hours, and I just don't want
• 3:15:04
  Speaker 1: to do four hours anymore. I mean, if I be
• 3:15:07
  Speaker 1: straightforward with you and blunt with you, I do not
• 3:15:09
  Speaker 1: want to continue doing a four-hour program because of how
• 3:15:16
  Speaker 1: much time that is on the air and other stuff
• 3:15:18
  Speaker 1: that I have to do.
• 3:15:20
  Speaker 34: Yeah, the rumor was the incontinence.
• 3:15:23
  Speaker 1: Well, that might be part of it as well. For
• 3:15:27
  Speaker 1: the longest period of time, I will simply tell you,
• 3:15:29
  Speaker 1: for years, I wanted to just do a three-hour program,
• 3:15:33
  Speaker 1: but that contractually never seemed to work out. Well, in
• 3:15:40
  Speaker 1: my opinion, it's either three hours or no hours. You
• 3:15:42
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? I mean, I just don't want
• 3:15:44
  Speaker 1: to do four hours of the program anymore. It's a
• 3:15:50
  Speaker 1: long haul, and then I have to record a lot of–
• 3:15:54
  Speaker 1: record some commercials and record some other prerecorded programs. So
• 3:15:59
  Speaker 1: it might be four live hours on the air, but
• 3:16:02
  Speaker 1: in addition to that, I have a lot of other
• 3:16:04
  Speaker 1: stuff that I have to record that airs at other times.
• 3:16:06
  Speaker 1: So it's like five hours of stuff, and it's just
• 3:16:10
  Speaker 1: too long.
• 3:16:14
  Speaker 34: Well, that pretty much quells all the rumors about the incontinence.
• 3:16:20
  Speaker 1: There is that. There is that as well. To me,
• 3:16:25
  Speaker 1: it's just time. Three hours is enough. Let me put
• 3:16:29
  Speaker 1: it that way. And a lot of times you would
• 3:16:32
  Speaker 1: have the Guardians that would come on. I was one
• 3:16:35
  Speaker 1: of the guys, I looked forward to baseball season. I
• 3:16:37
  Speaker 1: looked forward to Tom Hamilton coming on. I enjoy listening
• 3:16:40
  Speaker 1: to the ballgames. But I also enjoyed the fact that
• 3:16:44
  Speaker 1: it gave me a time to call it quits at
• 3:16:48
  Speaker 1: 6.30 or 6 o'clock and that kind of stuff. And
• 3:16:51
  Speaker 1: I just really enjoyed that time of ending the program
• 3:16:56
  Speaker 1: and being able to leave and go home at a
• 3:16:59
  Speaker 1: decent hour as opposed to eating dinner at 8 o'clock
• 3:17:03
  Speaker 1: at night and this kind of stuff.
• 3:17:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 3:17:06
  Speaker 5: No, I get it.
• 3:17:08
  Speaker 34: But you guys were talking about the fireworks and that
• 3:17:11
  Speaker 34: with Trump on.
• 3:17:12
  Speaker 7: The 4th of July.
• 3:17:14
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 3:17:14
  Speaker 34: And the whole lightning thing, then they waited until like
• 3:17:18
  Speaker 34: midnight to do them.
• 3:17:20
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 3:17:21
  Speaker 34: But how about the Armed Forces band or singers?
• 3:17:26
  Speaker 6: Were they not great?
• 3:17:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 3:17:30
  Speaker 1: I am so glad that you brought that up. When
• 3:17:35
  Speaker 1: they were doing the singing during the fireworks, and this
• 3:17:39
  Speaker 1: was done so good because they didn't bring in these
• 3:17:42
  Speaker 1: big acts or anything like that. They had the military
• 3:17:45
  Speaker 1: band playing and the military singers, and I thought they
• 3:17:48
  Speaker 1: were fantastic. You are bringing up just an absolutely excellent point.
• 3:17:56
  Speaker 1: In our military, what great singers, what great bands that
• 3:18:00
  Speaker 1: they had. It made you proud, didn't it, in a
• 3:18:03
  Speaker 1: strange way?
• 3:18:05
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 3:18:06
  Speaker 34: I mean, and they copied the original song so well.
• 3:18:10
  Speaker 34: You would have thought that it was the original singers,
• 3:18:14
  Speaker 34: you know?
• 3:18:14
  Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
• 3:18:18
  Speaker 34: Yeah, I thought they did a great job. And the fireworks,
• 3:18:23
  Speaker 34: I would have loved to have seen like an aerial
• 3:18:25
  Speaker 34: view of the fireworks, you know, like from a plane
• 3:18:29
  Speaker 34: or something. But they wouldn't let my private plane fly
• 3:18:34
  Speaker 34: over Washington, Ron, so I couldn't see it.
• 3:18:42
  Speaker 1: Wasn't it great in watching it?
• 3:18:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 3:18:45
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 3:18:46
  Speaker 34: Yeah, like I said, I stayed up to watch it,
• 3:18:49
  Speaker 34: and I'm like, I can't go to bed. I stayed
• 3:18:53
  Speaker 34: up this late. He's on, you know, the whole, all
• 3:18:58
  Speaker 34: the references to all the veterans, and that was great.
• 3:19:04
  Speaker 34: Bringing up these 107-year-old people that served in World War II,
• 3:19:11
  Speaker 34: I thought that was great. And they were saluting all
• 3:19:14
  Speaker 34: the separate flags. You know, some of them were made, like,
• 3:19:21
  Speaker 34: I don't know, it was like the first flag ever made,
• 3:19:23
  Speaker 34: stitched together, and they showed it up there. Were you
• 3:19:27
  Speaker 34: awake for that?
• 3:19:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, when you're bringing all this stuff up, when
• 3:19:32
  Speaker 1: they brought out these guys from World War II, the
• 3:19:34
  Speaker 1: guy that was 107 and the guy that was 104,
• 3:19:38
  Speaker 1: And how about some of those old guys still fitting
• 3:19:40
  Speaker 1: into their uniforms? I mean, when they brought them on
• 3:19:44
  Speaker 1: stage and honored them, when you saw these original flags,
• 3:19:49
  Speaker 1: this is during Trump's speech, I don't know how you
• 3:19:52
  Speaker 1: didn't sit there as an American and you weren't proud
• 3:19:54
  Speaker 1: of those veterans that were on that stage and that
• 3:19:57
  Speaker 1: history that was on that stage. And then, as you said,
• 3:20:02
  Speaker 1: the military band and the military singers that did such
• 3:20:06
  Speaker 1: a great job during the fireworks presentation.
• 3:20:09
  Speaker 34: I think that's a lot of what is absent from
• 3:20:14
  Speaker 34: our country today. I mean, if we had a war,
• 3:20:17
  Speaker 34: somebody attacked us, what young kid is going to sign
• 3:20:22
  Speaker 34: up and go fight for this country today? You know,
• 3:20:24
  Speaker 34: like back in the day, one of my father-in-laws... I
• 3:20:29
  Speaker 34: had a couple of them. But he signed up at
• 3:20:35
  Speaker 34: 16 years old and lied about it just so he
• 3:20:38
  Speaker 34: could go fight, you know, in World War II. So, yeah,
• 3:20:44
  Speaker 34: I mean, today these kids and their attitude towards the government,
• 3:20:49
  Speaker 34: it's very disappointing.
• 3:20:54
  Speaker 1: I thought they said military recruitment was way up. So
• 3:20:58
  Speaker 1: there's obviously a lot of young people that are volunteering, right?
• 3:21:03
  Speaker 34: Well, yeah, after the whole DEI stuff got taken out,
• 3:21:09
  Speaker 34: which is, don't get me started on that, Ronnie. But anyhow, yeah,
• 3:21:15
  Speaker 34: I was just curious about the three-hour format, and I
• 3:21:19
  Speaker 34: totally get it, you know, because you're like one of
• 3:21:22
  Speaker 34: them old battle-axe people you always talk about, you know, so.
• 3:21:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but there will be exceptions to that. Obviously, we
• 3:21:32
  Speaker 1: run the Rockport Wealth Truth Investing Program on Mondays 6
• 3:21:36
  Speaker 1: to 7. I'll still do John Arnold's show. That's a lot.
• 3:21:39
  Speaker 3: That'll be on?
• 3:21:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, John Arnold's show will be live 6 to 7
• 3:21:43
  Speaker 1: on Thursdays. So I'll still do that. So the only
• 3:21:45
  Speaker 1: nights that I wrap up at 6 are going to
• 3:21:47
  Speaker 1: be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. And that's where it is.
• 3:21:55
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm not getting any younger, buddy. All right?
• 3:21:59
  Speaker 7: I got to go.
• 3:22:00
  Speaker 1: I'll see you.
• 3:22:02
  Speaker 15: Now, Ron Verb on News Radio 570 WKBN.
• 3:22:08
  Speaker 1: All right, 330-729-9977, our top secret number if you want
• 3:22:12
  Speaker 1: to conversate here today. 330-729-9977. Look forward to hearing from you.
• 3:22:17
  Speaker 1: Ron Verb from the Kingdom of Mahoning on a Wednesday,
• 3:22:19
  Speaker 1: July 8th. Hot and humid out there to say the least,
• 3:22:23
  Speaker 1: 87 degrees. Always glad you tuned in and you're on
• 3:22:25
  Speaker 1: the air.
• 3:22:28
  Speaker 3: Hello, Ron.
• 3:22:29
  Speaker 1: Hello.
• 3:22:30
  Speaker 9: Hello, Ron.
• 3:22:32
  Speaker 39: This is Cindy from Austintown. I don't know if this
• 3:22:36
  Speaker 39: issue has ever been brought up on your program or not,
• 3:22:39
  Speaker 39: but I'm kind of disappointed in two of our Austintown trustees.
• 3:22:45
  Speaker 39: You elect them for office. They plaster their advertising all over.
• 3:22:52
  Speaker 39: They want to be a trustee so bad they get elected.
• 3:22:56
  Speaker 39: And then they're not.
• 3:22:56
  Speaker 5: Loyal to us.
• 3:22:57
  Speaker 39: They're out looking for other jobs. You got Bruce Shepas.
• 3:23:02
  Speaker 39: It's not good enough to be an Austin County trustee.
• 3:23:05
  Speaker 39: He has to shoot to be a Mahoning County commissioner.
• 3:23:08
  Speaker 6: So he loses.
• 3:23:10
  Speaker 39: So now he's going to serve out his term. But
• 3:23:13
  Speaker 39: should we elect him again? He doesn't want to be
• 3:23:16
  Speaker 39: our trustee, obviously. So then you have the other one
• 3:23:22
  Speaker 39: who just got another job. Why did he run for office?
• 3:23:28
  Speaker 39: Why do these two gentlemen run for office when they
• 3:23:32
  Speaker 39: don't want.
• 3:23:32
  Speaker 5: To serve us?
• 3:23:33
  Speaker 39: They serve out part of their term, and then they're
• 3:23:36
  Speaker 39: looking for other jobs. So I'm just disappointed in them,
• 3:23:40
  Speaker 39: and I don't think they should be reelected to any
• 3:23:45
  Speaker 39: position because they're not loyal.
• 3:23:47
  Speaker 11: So that's all I have to say.
• 3:23:49
  Speaker 1: I think it's a fair observation to make because you're
• 3:23:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're merely saying the one thing. Wait a minute.
• 3:23:55
  Speaker 1: You guys were. Well, in Santos's case, he just ran
• 3:24:00
  Speaker 1: for reelection, was reelected. So you sought this, and now
• 3:24:06
  Speaker 1: you're telling the people who voted for you, oh, see
• 3:24:08
  Speaker 1: you later. I got a better job, and it is
• 3:24:11
  Speaker 1: a better job that pays a lot more money working
• 3:24:15
  Speaker 1: for the county. So, you know, hey, man, you know,
• 3:24:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take this $ 75, 000 a year job and
• 3:24:21
  Speaker 1: go work for the county. And you're saying, but wait
• 3:24:28
  Speaker 1: a minute, you just ran for reelection.
• 3:24:31
  Speaker 39: I mean, that should be the first question a voter
• 3:24:35
  Speaker 39: should ask when they're debating. Are you going to serve
• 3:24:38
  Speaker 39: out your term? Are you going to be loyal to us?
• 3:24:42
  Speaker 1: Is it about the position that you ran for in
• 3:24:45
  Speaker 1: serving that term? Or is it about you and your career?
• 3:24:48
  Speaker 1: And what's the next opportunity for you? is what you're asking.
• 3:24:53
  Speaker 1: You're asking, so wait a minute, you wanted to be trustee. Well, no,
• 3:24:58
  Speaker 1: you didn't want to do that. Now you want to
• 3:24:59
  Speaker 1: be commissioner. Now it's okay being trustee. And you just
• 3:25:03
  Speaker 1: got elected trustee, but now you want to go work
• 3:25:05
  Speaker 1: for Mahoning County. I understand totally what you're saying. I mean,
• 3:25:09
  Speaker 1: I get it. I understand your Your cause for concern.
• 3:25:19
  Speaker 1: You're saying, so do you really want this job? I mean,
• 3:25:23
  Speaker 1: it appears to me you didn't really want it, is
• 3:25:27
  Speaker 1: what you're saying.
• 3:25:28
  Speaker 39: Are they seeking other jobs while they're in that position?
• 3:25:31
  Speaker 1: Are they seeking other employment? They're seeking their next career move,
• 3:25:35
  Speaker 1: is what you're saying. It becomes all about them. And
• 3:25:42
  Speaker 1: I fully understand what you're saying, and I get what
• 3:25:46
  Speaker 1: you're saying. What you're saying, when it becomes about you,
• 3:25:52
  Speaker 1: you know, I can't, well, I understand what you're saying.
• 3:25:59
  Speaker 10: I understand what you're saying.
• 3:26:04
  Speaker 39: Than what you took an oath or a vow to
• 3:26:07
  Speaker 39: serve the community, and then you're gone. So I just
• 3:26:12
  Speaker 39: wanted to bring that subject up and point it out.
• 3:26:15
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that was a fair thing to point out.
• 3:26:18
  Speaker 1: I appreciate your comments. Thank you for it. You're on
• 3:26:20
  Speaker 1: the air.
• 3:26:22
  Speaker 5: Hey, Ron.
• 3:26:22
  Speaker 4: Dick from Dayton. I just wanted to tell you about
• 3:26:26
  Speaker 4: Saturday on the 4th.
• 3:26:28
  Speaker 5: I went over to my friends.
• 3:26:29
  Speaker 4: They had a patriotic group, and we– played some cards
• 3:26:33
  Speaker 4: and stuff, and then I came back here, and they
• 3:26:37
  Speaker 4: had another group at Stony Ridge. They were doing... it
• 3:26:40
  Speaker 4: was a marching band saluting the, you know, the people
• 3:26:44
  Speaker 4: that served their country, and I went, I've been going
• 3:26:48
  Speaker 4: to Bible school. Jed has some family up there, and
• 3:26:51
  Speaker 4: he picks me up on Sunday, but it was good
• 3:26:54
  Speaker 4: that I think that the media covered the, Our independents
• 3:26:59
  Speaker 4: stay good. What did you think?
• 3:27:01
  Speaker 1: The independents stay for the nation? I thought it was spectacular.
• 3:27:04
  Speaker 1: I thought it was absolutely... I said earlier, the fireworks
• 3:27:11
  Speaker 1: were incredible as I watched them on my TV. I
• 3:27:14
  Speaker 1: enjoyed Fox's coverage. I enjoyed when they talked to people
• 3:27:17
  Speaker 1: who came from all over the world to, not all
• 3:27:20
  Speaker 1: over the world, well, maybe all over the world, but
• 3:27:22
  Speaker 1: all over the country, I should say, that they traveled
• 3:27:25
  Speaker 1: to come see this in person and why they went there.
• 3:27:31
  Speaker 1: The fireworks were spectacular. The entire thing was spectacular, and
• 3:27:36
  Speaker 1: it's It bewilders me, as I said earlier, like these
• 3:27:39
  Speaker 1: Elon Omar and people like that that seem to really
• 3:27:42
  Speaker 1: hate this country and think this country should change in
• 3:27:46
  Speaker 1: their direction. I mean, they come here from some hellhole,
• 3:27:49
  Speaker 1: and then all they do is bitch about this country,
• 3:27:52
  Speaker 1: even though they're elected to Congress. They make $ 170, 000 or $ 180, 000.
• 3:27:54
  Speaker 1: They've got great retirement. And somehow this country is some
• 3:27:59
  Speaker 1: evil place. I haven't been able to figure that out. Listen,
• 3:28:02
  Speaker 1: do we have problems in our country? Absolutely. Do we
• 3:28:05
  Speaker 1: have corruption and things we've got to solve? Absolutely. But
• 3:28:09
  Speaker 1: you should thank your lucky stars. You were born in
• 3:28:11
  Speaker 1: the United States of America every day. That gives you
• 3:28:15
  Speaker 1: freedom and opportunity to succeed. You should thank God for it.
• 3:28:22
  Speaker 4: That came down here, you know, was free for all.
• 3:28:25
  Speaker 4: One guy was from Wadsworth, one guy Ravenna, one guy
• 3:28:28
  Speaker 4: from Kent, and one guy from Youngstown, his family. That
• 3:28:31
  Speaker 4: was nice, you know? Yeah, and they talked to me,
• 3:28:35
  Speaker 4: and they said, I hear Dick in Youngstown. He did
• 3:28:40
  Speaker 4: mention the name, but that was kind of nice, wasn't it?
• 3:28:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 3:28:45
  Speaker 4: Say hello to JT, will you?
• 3:28:47
  Speaker 1: Will do, thank you. You're on the air. Hello? Well,
• 3:28:55
  Speaker 1: you had your chance. I waited for you. If you
• 3:28:59
  Speaker 1: would wait for me, 330-729-9977. We'll get you through to us.
• 3:29:01
  Speaker 1: We'll take your calls until 6 tonight.
• 3:29:02
  Speaker 5: 330-729-9977.
• 3:29:03
  Speaker 1: We'll get you through to us.
• 3:29:03
  Speaker 5: 330-729-9977.
• 3:29:13
  Speaker 1: It's 250 years. I mean, I don't know how you
• 3:29:16
  Speaker 1: don't look at something like that and think each and
• 3:29:21
  Speaker 1: every day how lucky you are that you were born
• 3:29:22
  Speaker 1: in this country. And that you have freedom and you
• 3:29:27
  Speaker 1: have opportunity. And you look at so many people that
• 3:29:31
  Speaker 1: don't take advantage of it or take it for granted.
• 3:29:34
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how to describe them. Or don't
• 3:29:38
  Speaker 1: want to assimilate. So if you don't want to assimilate,
• 3:29:40
  Speaker 1: why did you come here in the first place? And
• 3:29:42
  Speaker 1: why don't you just say where you are? I mean,
• 3:29:46
  Speaker 1: am I concerned of the direction of this great country
• 3:29:49
  Speaker 1: as we look ahead? Absolutely. I'm concerned about it. I'm
• 3:29:55
  Speaker 1: totally and completely concerned about it. So we have issues
• 3:30:03
  Speaker 1: that we need to deal with. But as I say,
• 3:30:08
  Speaker 1: thank God that you were born in this country and
• 3:30:10
  Speaker 1: that you're in this country and the opportunities that are here.
• 3:30:16
  Speaker 1: and don't sit around and fall into this. I'm a
• 3:30:19
  Speaker 1: victim and belly aching about the United States of America
• 3:30:21
  Speaker 1: because of the decisions that you made. You're on here.
• 3:30:26
  Speaker 7: Ronnie.
• 3:30:27
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 3:30:27
  Speaker 5: I got to ask you.
• 3:30:29
  Speaker 34: What's with this new, uh, three hour format.
• 3:30:33
  Speaker 1: Well, I, I tell you, I tell you something. I mean,
• 3:30:37
  Speaker 1: four hours is, yes, I've, I've been on four hours
• 3:30:40
  Speaker 1: for 41 years. And, uh, It's just something that most
• 3:30:50
  Speaker 1: talk shows are three hours, and I just don't want
• 3:30:54
  Speaker 1: to do four hours anymore. I mean, if I be
• 3:30:56
  Speaker 1: straightforward with you and blunt with you, I do not
• 3:30:59
  Speaker 1: want to continue doing a four-hour program because of how
• 3:31:06
  Speaker 1: much time that is on the air and other stuff
• 3:31:08
  Speaker 1: that I have to do.
• 3:31:10
  Speaker 34: Yeah, the rumor was the incontinence.
• 3:31:13
  Speaker 1: Well, that might be part of it as well. For
• 3:31:17
  Speaker 1: the longest period of time, I will simply tell you,
• 3:31:19
  Speaker 1: for years, I wanted to just do a three-hour program,
• 3:31:23
  Speaker 1: but that contractually never seemed to work out. Well, in
• 3:31:29
  Speaker 1: my opinion, it's either three hours or no hours. You
• 3:31:32
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? I mean, I just don't want
• 3:31:34
  Speaker 1: to do four hours of the program anymore. It's a
• 3:31:39
  Speaker 1: long haul, and then I have to record a lot of–
• 3:31:44
  Speaker 1: record some commercials and record some other prerecorded programs. So
• 3:31:49
  Speaker 1: it might be four live hours on the air, but
• 3:31:52
  Speaker 1: in addition to that, I have a lot of other
• 3:31:54
  Speaker 1: stuff that I have to record that airs at other times.
• 3:31:56
  Speaker 1: So it's like five hours of stuff, and it's just
• 3:32:00
  Speaker 1: too long.
• 3:32:04
  Speaker 34: Well, that pretty much quells all the rumors about the incontinence.
• 3:32:08
  Speaker 1: Well, there is that as well. To me, it's just time.
• 3:32:12
  Speaker 1: Three hours is enough. Let me put it that way.
• 3:32:21
  Speaker 1: And a lot of times you would have the guardians
• 3:32:23
  Speaker 1: that would come on. I was one of the guys,
• 3:32:25
  Speaker 1: I looked forward to baseball season. I looked forward to
• 3:32:28
  Speaker 1: Tom Hamilton coming on. I enjoy listening to the ball games.
• 3:32:32
  Speaker 1: But I also enjoyed the fact that it gave me
• 3:32:36
  Speaker 1: time to call it quits at 6.30 or 6 o'clock
• 3:32:39
  Speaker 1: and that kind of stuff. And I just really enjoyed
• 3:32:44
  Speaker 1: that time of ending the program and being able to
• 3:32:48
  Speaker 1: leave and go home at a decent hour as opposed
• 3:32:51
  Speaker 1: to eating dinner at 8 o'clock at night and this
• 3:32:53
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff.
• 3:32:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:32:56
  Speaker 34: No, I get it. But you guys were talking about
• 3:32:59
  Speaker 34: the fireworks and that with Trump on the 4th of July.
• 3:33:04
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 3:33:04
  Speaker 34: And the whole lightning thing, then they waited until like
• 3:33:08
  Speaker 34: midnight to do them.
• 3:33:09
  Speaker 16: Yes.
• 3:33:11
  Speaker 34: But how about the Armed Forces band or singers? Were
• 3:33:16
  Speaker 34: they not great?
• 3:33:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, I am really... I am so glad that you
• 3:33:24
  Speaker 1: brought that up. When they were doing the singing during
• 3:33:27
  Speaker 1: the fireworks, and this was done so good because they
• 3:33:31
  Speaker 1: didn't bring in these big acts or anything like that.
• 3:33:34
  Speaker 1: They had the military band playing and the military singers,
• 3:33:37
  Speaker 1: and I thought they were fantastic. You are bringing up
• 3:33:41
  Speaker 1: just an absolutely excellent point. In our military, what great singers,
• 3:33:48
  Speaker 1: what great bands that they had. It made you proud,
• 3:33:52
  Speaker 1: didn't it, in a strange way?
• 3:33:55
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 3:33:56
  Speaker 34: I mean, and they copied the original song so well.
• 3:34:00
  Speaker 34: You would have thought that it was the original singers,
• 3:34:04
  Speaker 34: you know?
• 3:34:04
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 3:34:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:34:08
  Speaker 34: Yeah, I thought they did a great job. And the fireworks,
• 3:34:13
  Speaker 34: I would have loved to have seen, like, an aerial
• 3:34:15
  Speaker 34: view of the fireworks, you know, like from a plane
• 3:34:19
  Speaker 34: or something.
• 3:34:20
  Speaker 8: But my..
• 3:34:22
  Speaker 34: They wouldn't let my private plane fly over Washington, Ron,
• 3:34:25
  Speaker 34: so I couldn't see.
• 3:34:30
  Speaker 1: It. Wasn't it great in watching it?
• 3:34:35
  Speaker 11: Oh, yeah.
• 3:34:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:34:36
  Speaker 34: Like I said, I stayed up to watch it, and
• 3:34:41
  Speaker 34: I'm like, I can't go to bed. I stayed up
• 3:34:43
  Speaker 34: this late. He's on, you know, the whole– all the
• 3:34:48
  Speaker 34: references to all the– Veterans, and that was great, bringing
• 3:34:54
  Speaker 34: up these 107-year-old people that served in World War II.
• 3:35:01
  Speaker 34: I thought that was great. And they were saluting all
• 3:35:04
  Speaker 34: the separate flags. You know, some of them were made, like,
• 3:35:11
  Speaker 34: I don't know, it was like the first flag ever made,
• 3:35:13
  Speaker 34: stitched together, and they showed it up there.
• 3:35:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. When you're bringing all this stuff up, when they
• 3:35:21
  Speaker 1: brought out these guys from World War II, the guy
• 3:35:24
  Speaker 1: that was 107 and the guy that was 104, and
• 3:35:28
  Speaker 1: how about some of those old guys still fitting into
• 3:35:30
  Speaker 1: their uniforms? I mean, when they brought them on stage
• 3:35:34
  Speaker 1: and honored them, when you saw these original flags... This
• 3:35:39
  Speaker 1: is during Trump's speech. I don't know how you didn't
• 3:35:42
  Speaker 1: sit there as an American and you weren't proud of
• 3:35:44
  Speaker 1: those veterans that were on that stage and that history
• 3:35:48
  Speaker 1: that was on that stage. And then, as you said,
• 3:35:51
  Speaker 1: the military band and the military singers that did such
• 3:35:56
  Speaker 1: a great job during the fireworks presentation.
• 3:36:00
  Speaker 34: I think that's a lot of what is absent from
• 3:36:04
  Speaker 34: our country today. I mean, if we had a war,
• 3:36:07
  Speaker 34: somebody attacked us, what young kid is going to sign
• 3:36:11
  Speaker 34: up and go fight for this country today? You know,
• 3:36:14
  Speaker 34: like back in the day, one of my father-in-laws, I
• 3:36:19
  Speaker 34: had a couple of them, but he signed up at
• 3:36:25
  Speaker 34: 16 years old and lied about it just so he
• 3:36:27
  Speaker 34: could go fight, you know? in world war so yeah
• 3:36:33
  Speaker 34: i i mean today these kids and their attitude towards
• 3:36:38
  Speaker 34: the government it's very disappointing.
• 3:36:43
  Speaker 1: Uh is it i thought they said military recruitment was
• 3:36:46
  Speaker 1: way up So there's obviously a lot of young people
• 3:36:49
  Speaker 1: that are volunteering, right?
• 3:36:53
  Speaker 34: Well, yeah, after the whole DEI stuff got taken out.
• 3:36:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:36:58
  Speaker 34: Which is, don't get me started on that, Ronnie. But, yeah, anyhow, yeah,
• 3:37:05
  Speaker 34: I was just curious about the three-hour format, and I
• 3:37:09
  Speaker 34: totally get it, you know, because you're like one of
• 3:37:12
  Speaker 34: them old battle-axe people you always talk about, you know, so.
• 3:37:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but there will be exceptions to that. Obviously, we
• 3:37:22
  Speaker 1: run the Rockport Wealth Truth Investing Program on Mondays 6
• 3:37:25
  Speaker 1: to 7. I'll still do John Arnold's show. Oh, that
• 3:37:29
  Speaker 1: will be on? Yeah, John Arnold's show will be live
• 3:37:32
  Speaker 1: 6 to 7 on Thursdays. So I'll still do that.
• 3:37:34
  Speaker 1: So the only nights that I wrap up at 6
• 3:37:37
  Speaker 1: are going to be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. And that's
• 3:37:43
  Speaker 1: where it is. You know, I'm not getting any younger, buddy.
• 3:37:46
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 3:37:48
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 3:37:49
  Speaker 3: I've got to go.
• 3:37:49
  Speaker 1: I'll see you.
• 3:37:53
  Speaker 19: I'm Dr.
• 3:37:53
  Speaker 10: Cheryl Figley. 570 WKBN.
• 3:37:56
  Speaker 1: All right, 525 News Radio, 570 WKBN. And Ron Furball,
• 3:37:59
  Speaker 1: we're always honored that you tuned in from the kingdom
• 3:38:02
  Speaker 1: of Mahoning. As I say, I'll be with you until
• 3:38:04
  Speaker 1: 6 o'clock tonight. Then Sean Hannity comes on at 6.
• 3:38:08
  Speaker 1: So just to answer that guy's question, Monday we're on
• 3:38:11
  Speaker 1: 6 to 7 with the Rockport Wealth Truth Investing Program,
• 3:38:14
  Speaker 1: and on Thursdays we'll be on 6 to 7 with
• 3:38:17
  Speaker 1: John Arnold's Money Talks Program. But on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday,
• 3:38:22
  Speaker 1: we'll wrap things up at 6 o'clock and Hannity be on.
• 3:38:26
  Speaker 1: So just kind of a programming change for your fearless leader. OK,
• 3:38:33
  Speaker 1: so that doesn't mean that we will still have G2
• 3:38:36
  Speaker 1: on between five and six for his thoughts on what's
• 3:38:40
  Speaker 1: going on in the world. We're just kind of compressing
• 3:38:43
  Speaker 1: everything into a three hour window. Most talk shows run
• 3:38:46
  Speaker 1: three hours as opposed to four. And I've done four
• 3:38:48
  Speaker 1: hours for about 41 years of it. That's a long haul,
• 3:38:53
  Speaker 1: to say the least. So that's that is the name
• 3:38:56
  Speaker 1: of that tune. So I hope I appreciate you listening
• 3:39:00
  Speaker 1: and we'll take it from there. You're on the air.
• 3:39:03
  Speaker 5: Ronnie.
• 3:39:04
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 3:39:05
  Speaker 13: Ronnie, it's a sad day when we're going to lose
• 3:39:09
  Speaker 13: you for another hour, for an hour. But I understand
• 3:39:13
  Speaker 13: the situation. I saw you the other day, ladies and gentlemen,
• 3:39:17
  Speaker 13: on the hottest day of the year. Him and young
• 3:39:19
  Speaker 13: Eric were out there doing their side job. Ron was sweating. Ronnie,
• 3:39:24
  Speaker 13: I've never seen you look that bad. Profusely, you said,
• 3:39:29
  Speaker 13: wind down the window so I can get some of
• 3:39:31
  Speaker 13: that air conditioning on me. And I said, I hope
• 3:39:34
  Speaker 13: you're hydrating, Brian. And he goes, yeah, I am. He goes,
• 3:39:38
  Speaker 13: I'm not. And you said to me, you said, this
• 3:39:42
  Speaker 13: is what I'm doing. And I said, the.
• 3:39:44
  Speaker 8: Hottest day of the year?
• 3:39:45
  Speaker 13: He said, if I don't do it, if we don't
• 3:39:48
  Speaker 13: do it, no one else will.
• 3:39:50
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 3:39:51
  Speaker 13: There's that same attitude when they stuck you on the
• 3:39:54
  Speaker 13: 311 ship, and we would call you when we'd get
• 3:39:57
  Speaker 13: off work. And you said, oh, I don't know if
• 3:40:00
  Speaker 13: I can make this. And I said, stick it out, Ronnie.
• 3:40:03
  Speaker 13: You're going to outlive them all. And knock on wood,
• 3:40:07
  Speaker 13: you have.
• 3:40:08
  Speaker 1: I guess, yeah. You know what I mean? I guess
• 3:40:11
  Speaker 1: there's some degree of truth to that, isn't there? I mean, it's...
• 3:40:14
  Speaker 1: You outlived Ryan.
• 3:40:16
  Speaker 13: You outlived Pete.
• 3:40:18
  Speaker 6: And Dan retired.
• 3:40:19
  Speaker 7: There's only you left.
• 3:40:21
  Speaker 13: And Casey went to another format.
• 3:40:23
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 3:40:24
  Speaker 5: There's only two left.
• 3:40:25
  Speaker 3: You're the only one left?
• 3:40:27
  Speaker 1: I'm the last of the Mohicans, Vince. If you've ever
• 3:40:31
  Speaker 1: read the book, I am the last of the Mohicans.
• 3:40:36
  Speaker 13: And I did a book report on the Golden Book
• 3:40:38
  Speaker 13: Encyclopedia on King's Cook, Hawkeye's good friend. But that's a
• 3:40:46
  Speaker 13: story for another time. Yeah, Ron, good luck to you
• 3:40:51
  Speaker 13: and stay with it as long as you can. We're
• 3:40:53
  Speaker 13: going to miss you when you hang up the earphones
• 3:40:57
  Speaker 13: and turned a golden microphone off for the last time.
• 3:41:02
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. But, you know, life doesn't go on forever. I mean,
• 3:41:05
  Speaker 1: there's always, you know, with life, there's unfortunately, you never
• 3:41:09
  Speaker 1: know when your time comes. And, you know, at some point,
• 3:41:15
  Speaker 1: you know, there's nothing I enjoy more, as I think
• 3:41:18
  Speaker 1: you know. There is nothing I enjoy more than working
• 3:41:21
  Speaker 1: with my son. And I've done that forever as well.
• 3:41:25
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean... we've been in the lawn and
• 3:41:27
  Speaker 1: landscape business for, for as long forever too. And, uh,
• 3:41:32
  Speaker 1: and I, and I thoroughly, I absolutely enjoy it. Uh,
• 3:41:36
  Speaker 1: and I, I've always enjoyed being outside and, uh, always
• 3:41:41
  Speaker 1: enjoyed just, uh, that, that whole scene and being with
• 3:41:44
  Speaker 1: my son. And, uh, so basically I, I work a lot,
• 3:41:48
  Speaker 1: you know, I would be doing that. I'd be doing this. And, uh,
• 3:41:51
  Speaker 1: luckily I have a wife that, uh, that, uh, was
• 3:41:54
  Speaker 1: very understanding. I don't know about that, but, uh, but, uh,
• 3:42:01
  Speaker 1: needless to say, uh, she, she certainly understood. And, uh,
• 3:42:06
  Speaker 1: you know, I, I don't know where the years went, Vince.
• 3:42:08
  Speaker 1: I honestly don't know where they went. I mean, it's,
• 3:42:10
  Speaker 1: it does seem in a blink of an eye. You
• 3:42:12
  Speaker 1: say to yourself, Jesus, you know, I mean, in February,
• 3:42:16
  Speaker 1: I'd be 69 years old. Well, you know, that's, that's
• 3:42:19
  Speaker 1: getting up there.
• 3:42:21
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 3:42:21
  Speaker 13: Well, I passed that. I'm ending for the other, uh,
• 3:42:26
  Speaker 13: digital thing that we don't want to discuss. But we've
• 3:42:29
  Speaker 13: been with you since you signed on, Ronnie.
• 3:42:32
  Speaker 7: I mean, there's many of us.
• 3:42:34
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean, it's... And I remember those days.
• 3:42:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's... So, it's... Don't take your health for granted.
• 3:42:42
  Speaker 1: Enjoy every day and try to stay active. I mean,
• 3:42:47
  Speaker 1: that is the key. I mean, you know, I've always
• 3:42:50
  Speaker 1: loved the lawn and landscape business. I mean, more lawn
• 3:42:53
  Speaker 1: and landscape, we don't really... mess too much in that
• 3:42:56
  Speaker 1: but i've always always loved that all my life and
• 3:42:58
  Speaker 1: i've always loved the broadcasting all my life as well

• 3:43:47
  Speaker 1: going on in the world. We're just kind of compressing
• 3:43:49
  Speaker 1: everything into a three hour window. Most talk shows run
• 3:43:53
  Speaker 1: three hours as opposed to four. And I've done four
• 3:43:55
  Speaker 1: hours for about 41 years of it. That's a long
• 3:43:59
  Speaker 1: haul to say the least. So that's, that is the
• 3:44:02
  Speaker 1: name of that tune. So I hope, I appreciate you
• 3:44:04
  Speaker 1: listening and, And we'll take it from there. You're on
• 3:44:07
  Speaker 1: the air.
• 3:44:09
  Speaker 18: Ronnie!
• 3:44:10
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 3:44:12
  Speaker 13: Ronnie, it's a sad day when we're going to lose
• 3:44:16
  Speaker 13: you for another hour. For an hour. But I understand
• 3:44:19
  Speaker 13: the situation. I saw you the other day, ladies and gentlemen,
• 3:44:23
  Speaker 13: on the hottest day of the year. Him and young
• 3:44:26
  Speaker 13: Eric were out there doing their side job. Ron was sweating. Ronnie,
• 3:44:31
  Speaker 13: I've never seen you look that bad. Profusely, you said...
• 3:44:35
  Speaker 13: wind down the window so I could get some of
• 3:44:37
  Speaker 13: that air conditioning on me. And I said, I hope
• 3:44:41
  Speaker 13: you're hydrating, Brian.
• 3:44:42
  Speaker 6: He goes, yeah, I am.
• 3:44:44
  Speaker 1: He goes, I'm not.
• 3:44:45
  Speaker 13: And you said to me, you said, this is what
• 3:44:49
  Speaker 13: I'm doing. And I said, the hottest day of the year?
• 3:44:52
  Speaker 13: He said, if I don't do it, if we don't
• 3:44:54
  Speaker 13: do it, no one else will.
• 3:44:56
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 3:44:57
  Speaker 13: There's that same attitude when they stuck you on the
• 3:45:01
  Speaker 13: 311 ship and we would call you when we got
• 3:45:03
  Speaker 13: off work. And you said, I don't know if I
• 3:45:06
  Speaker 13: can make this.
• 3:45:07
  Speaker 5: And I said, stick it out, Ronnie.
• 3:45:09
  Speaker 13: You're going to outlive them all. And knock on wood,
• 3:45:13
  Speaker 13: you have.
• 3:45:14
  Speaker 1: I guess, yeah. You know what I mean? I guess
• 3:45:17
  Speaker 1: there's some degree of truth to that, isn't there? You
• 3:45:21
  Speaker 1: outlived Brian.
• 3:45:22
  Speaker 8: You outlived Pete.
• 3:45:24
  Speaker 13: And Dan retired. And Casey went to another format.
• 3:45:30
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 3:45:30
  Speaker 4: There's only two left.
• 3:45:31
  Speaker 8: You're the only one left?
• 3:45:33
  Speaker 1: I'm the last of the Mohicans, Vince. if you've ever
• 3:45:37
  Speaker 1: read the book. I am the last of the Mohicans.
• 3:45:42
  Speaker 13: And I did a book report on the Golden Book Encyclopedia.
• 3:45:46
  Speaker 13: I bought King's Cook, Hawkeye's good friend. But that's a
• 3:45:52
  Speaker 13: story for another time. Hey, Ron, good luck to you
• 3:45:57
  Speaker 13: and stay with it as long as you can. We're
• 3:45:59
  Speaker 13: going to miss you when you hang up the earphones
• 3:46:04
  Speaker 13: and turned the golden microphone off for the last time.
• 3:46:08
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. You know, life doesn't go on forever. I mean,
• 3:46:11
  Speaker 1: there's always, you know, with life, there's unfortunately, you never
• 3:46:15
  Speaker 1: know when when your time comes and you know it's
• 3:46:20
  Speaker 1: at some point you know there's nothing I enjoy more
• 3:46:24
  Speaker 1: as I think you know there is nothing nothing I
• 3:46:26
  Speaker 1: enjoy more than working with my son and I and
• 3:46:29
  Speaker 1: I've done that for forever as well you know I
• 3:46:31
  Speaker 1: mean we've been in the lawn and landscape business for,
• 3:46:35
  Speaker 1: for as long forever too. And, uh, and I, and
• 3:46:39
  Speaker 1: I thoroughly, I absolutely enjoy it. Uh, and I, I've
• 3:46:44
  Speaker 1: always enjoyed being outside and, uh, always enjoyed just, uh, that,
• 3:46:49
  Speaker 1: that whole scene and being with my son. And, uh,
• 3:46:52
  Speaker 1: so basically I, I work a lot, you know, I
• 3:46:55
  Speaker 1: would be doing that. I'd be doing this. And, uh,
• 3:46:58
  Speaker 1: luckily I have a wife that's, uh, that's, uh, was
• 3:47:01
  Speaker 1: very understanding. I don't know about that, but, uh, but, uh,
• 3:47:07
  Speaker 1: needless to say, uh, she, she certainly understood. And, uh,
• 3:47:12
  Speaker 1: you know, I, I don't know where the years went, Vince.
• 3:47:14
  Speaker 1: I honestly don't know where they went. I mean, it's,
• 3:47:16
  Speaker 1: it does seem in a blink of an eye. You
• 3:47:18
  Speaker 1: say to yourself, Jesus, you know, I mean, in February,
• 3:47:23
  Speaker 1: I'd be 69 years old. Well, you know, that's, that's
• 3:47:25
  Speaker 1: getting up there.
• 3:47:27
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 3:47:28
  Speaker 13: Well, I passed that. I'm ending for the other, uh,
• 3:47:32

  Speaker 1: and try to stay active. I mean, I mean, I mean,
• 3:47:54

• 3:47:56
  Speaker 1: loved the lawn and landscape business. I mean, more lawn
• 3:47:59
  Speaker 1: and landscape. We don't really mess too much in that.
• 3:48:02
  Speaker 1: But I've always, always loved that all my life. And
• 3:48:04
  Speaker 1: I've always loved the broadcasting all my life as well.

  Speaker 1: Back to it. News Radio 570 WKBN. And we're on
• 3:49:49
  Speaker 1: Verb 534. It's 85 degrees. It's a hot, humid Wednesday,
• 3:49:53
  Speaker 1: July 8th. And you're on the air.
• 3:49:56
  Speaker 8: Hello.
• 3:49:57
  Speaker 25: Hey, how you doing?
• 3:49:59
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 3:49:59
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 3:50:00
  Speaker 25: Hey, I got a question for you, you know? I
• 3:50:03
  Speaker 25: don't think I asked you, but I've asked our trustees,
• 3:50:06
  Speaker 25: and they don't seem to give me an answer. And
• 3:50:08
  Speaker 25: you seem to know everything.
• 3:50:09
  Speaker 1: I know everything. Everything.
• 3:50:12
  Speaker 25: Okay, then tell me how I got out of Mahoning. No,
• 3:50:17
  Speaker 25: I went down Route 46, heading towards Niles. Gas prices
• 3:50:22
  Speaker 25: at Sheetz, $ 3.
• 3:50:23
  Speaker 11: 55.
• 3:50:23
  Speaker 25: Ohio, $ 3. 79. pilot 377 you get to nows and you
• 3:50:33
  Speaker 25: go to the get-go and it's 302 not once but
• 3:50:39
  Speaker 25: many times i've ended up going to now the get-go
• 3:50:44
  Speaker 25: to get gas almost 60 to 70 cents cheaper how
• 3:50:48
  Speaker 25: does trumbull do.
• 3:50:48
  Speaker 1: That well you're asking an excellent question it's just like
• 3:50:53
  Speaker 1: often when i leave here, and I see the Shell
• 3:50:55
  Speaker 1: Station at the corner of 224 and South Avenue, it'll be,
• 3:51:01
  Speaker 1: like today, I think it was at 325, I think.
• 3:51:04
  Speaker 1: I think it was at 325. And the reason why
• 3:51:08
  Speaker 1: that one is so much cheaper than all the rest
• 3:51:10
  Speaker 1: of them is because right up the road from that
• 3:51:12
  Speaker 1: Shell Station is Sam's Club. And so they're competing with
• 3:51:17
  Speaker 1: Sam's Club that has those low gas prices that you
• 3:51:20
  Speaker 1: see people lined up for at Sam's Club, which which
• 3:51:23
  Speaker 1: is in the low threes. And I have heard this
• 3:51:28
  Speaker 1: before on these varying gas prices and how it's cheaper
• 3:51:33
  Speaker 1: in some areas than other areas. It doesn't make a
• 3:51:35
  Speaker 1: lick of sense, particularly when it's the same brand gas
• 3:51:40
  Speaker 1: up here that you're getting down there, right? So the
• 3:51:43
  Speaker 1: same chain station.
• 3:51:46
  Speaker 8: You're right.
• 3:51:46
  Speaker 25: I mean, you're right. A couple weeks ago, I was at...
• 3:51:50
  Speaker 25: What was it, Raccoon and 224 at the get-go there?
• 3:51:53
  Speaker 30: Yeah.
• 3:51:54
  Speaker 25: And I was getting ready, and it was 324. And
• 3:51:59
  Speaker 25: I said, okay, well, I'll go get the cans, but
• 3:52:01
  Speaker 25: I'll go to get-go at Austintown. Austintown was $ 3. 65, 40
• 3:52:08
  Speaker 25: cents more for the same station. It's like Austintown, we
• 3:52:13
  Speaker 25: are paying the most out of any area.
• 3:52:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got to be cognizant of it. I mean,
• 3:52:20
  Speaker 1: you can get it less at Sam's Club, and if
• 3:52:25
  Speaker 1: you're probably stationed around Sam's Club, it's less than that.
• 3:52:29
  Speaker 1: You're saying when you go to Niles, you find it
• 3:52:31
  Speaker 1: even cheaper when you go down there?
• 3:52:33
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 3:52:34
  Speaker 25: And I don't know. I thought maybe you might have
• 3:52:36
  Speaker 25: a contact with any of these people, Leiden or anybody.
• 3:52:39
  Speaker 25: What seems to be the difference?
• 3:52:42
  Speaker 1: There you have it. I thought I knew everything, but
• 3:52:46
  Speaker 1: you found something that I can't tell you why that
• 3:52:48
  Speaker 1: oddity is taking place. Stay tuned.
• 3:52:50
  Speaker 3: Can't believe it.
• 3:52:51
  Speaker 25: Can't believe it, Ron.
• 3:52:52
  Speaker 3: You're the man.
• 3:52:53
  Speaker 1: Thank you. You're on the air.
• 3:52:55
  Speaker 6: Mr.
• 3:52:56
  Speaker 28: Verb, I have the answer.
• 3:52:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, good.
• 3:52:59
  Speaker 1: It's Fifth Avenue. The man calling. I certainly hope you're
• 3:53:02
  Speaker 1: air conditioned. Did you survive the tornado?
• 3:53:05
  Speaker 24: I did.
• 3:53:08
  Speaker 28: Now, we'll get into that. I just want to say
• 3:53:11
  Speaker 28: the person in the Oval Office is the biggest scammer going. So, therefore,
• 3:53:16
  Speaker 28: all that gasoline and all that, that's a scam. But
• 3:53:20
  Speaker 28: we're not going to get into that today because I
• 3:53:23
  Speaker 28: want to talk about some other things. Yes, I survived
• 3:53:27
  Speaker 28: the storm. No big problems over where I'm at. And
• 3:53:31
  Speaker 28: I hope you didn't get any trees on your home
• 3:53:34
  Speaker 28: or anything like that.
• 3:53:36
  Speaker 1: I did not get any trees on my home, but
• 3:53:39
  Speaker 1: we were without power for like 36 hours, and we
• 3:53:42
  Speaker 1: took the storm on, the winds, the rain, the tornado,
• 3:53:46
  Speaker 1: and luckily everything was A-OK. As I say, with the
• 3:53:51
  Speaker 1: generator and the sump pump was running, so we didn't
• 3:53:54
  Speaker 1: have to worry about a flooded basement or anything going
• 3:53:56
  Speaker 1: bad in the refrigerator.
• 3:53:57
  Speaker 28: Heather and Berman, he had no power for, I don't know, 16,
• 3:54:03
  Speaker 28: 17 hours, something like that.
• 3:54:05
  Speaker 1: Does he have a sump pump?
• 3:54:08
  Speaker 28: No, no, but he had a neighbor that helped him
• 3:54:10
  Speaker 28: out with his refrigeration and all that stuff.
• 3:54:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because, I mean, you've got to get a generator,
• 3:54:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, a gas start one or whatever, because you
• 3:54:18
  Speaker 1: don't want your freezer or your refrigerator going bad.
• 3:54:24
  Speaker 28: Every time that you talk about retiring and going and
• 3:54:30
  Speaker 28: hanging it up, you seem to add one million... One
• 3:54:35
  Speaker 28: more year to that. It started out like six months ago.
• 3:54:39
  Speaker 28: It was 38 years. Now, about three, four months later,
• 3:54:44
  Speaker 28: it's 41 years.
• 3:54:46
  Speaker 1: Right. I've been here 41.
• 3:54:47
  Speaker 28: I just wanted to get a chronological upbeat. Tell me,
• 3:54:54
  Speaker 28: how many years.
• 3:54:57
  Speaker 1: Is it really? It's 41 on this radio station.
• 3:54:59
  Speaker 28: 41 years. Yep.
• 3:55:01
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 3:55:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is. That's a long time. So do the math.
• 3:55:07
  Speaker 1: Let's figure that out. Jesus. Yeah, it means when I started,
• 3:55:16
  Speaker 1: I was 27 years old here.
• 3:55:18
  Speaker 28: 27 years old.
• 3:55:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:55:23
  Speaker 28: And you had a four-hour show that entire time?
• 3:55:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes. Absolutely. That entire time. I used to be on...
• 3:55:29
  Speaker 1: 7 to 11 at night for many, many, many years.
• 3:55:36
  Speaker 1: 7 to 11 at night. And then it's a switch
• 3:55:40
  Speaker 1: to 3 to 7 in the afternoon. And I've always
• 3:55:45
  Speaker 1: done a four-hour broadcast. And I always wanted to do
• 3:55:50
  Speaker 1: a three-hour broadcast. But it never seemed to work out.
• 3:55:55
  Speaker 1: But in some recent discussions... where we entered some discussions
• 3:56:03
  Speaker 1: and I just expressed that I would prefer to do
• 3:56:07
  Speaker 1: just three to six than three to seven. So it's,
• 3:56:10
  Speaker 1: it's just a little less of a grind, let's put
• 3:56:14
  Speaker 1: it that way.
• 3:56:15
  Speaker 28: Are you still putting in seven, eight hours with the
• 3:56:18
  Speaker 28: other job?
• 3:56:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely. And I put in a ton here, you
• 3:56:24
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? Hey, if you enjoy what you do,
• 3:56:28
  Speaker 1: then you're honestly a blessed man. I mean, you know,
• 3:56:33
  Speaker 1: I love that, and I've loved this.
• 3:56:36
  Speaker 28: How many years have you been doing that, the other job?
• 3:56:42
  Speaker 1: Pretty much as long as I've done this one. Maybe longer.
• 3:56:45
  Speaker 9: Really?
• 3:56:45
  Speaker 1: Maybe longer, yeah. I mean, a long, long time. Let's
• 3:56:50
  Speaker 1: put it that way. Never met a job I didn't like,
• 3:56:52
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I never bellyached much about working. But,
• 3:56:58
  Speaker 1: you know, as I've said to you, time goes by
• 3:57:00
  Speaker 1: in the blink of an eye, doesn't it? I mean,
• 3:57:02
  Speaker 1: I can't believe how quickly life goes by.
• 3:57:05
  Speaker 28: It goes very quickly.
• 3:57:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, it does.
• 3:57:08
  Speaker 28: After the age of 55, 60, look out. The next
• 3:57:12
  Speaker 28: 20 go, that's gone.
• 3:57:15
  Speaker 1: And I think you're right. You know, I have older brothers.
• 3:57:18
  Speaker 1: My brother Paul is 10 years older, so he would
• 3:57:22
  Speaker 1: be 78. And I have another brother, Brian, and he
• 3:57:26
  Speaker 1: would be, let me think here, he'd be 71. And
• 3:57:31
  Speaker 1: I can't believe my brothers are that age. They're... They're
• 3:57:34
  Speaker 1: all healthy. They live in Florida, but they're all healthy,
• 3:57:39
  Speaker 1: and that's all that matters.
• 3:57:43
  Speaker 28: Maybe they'll convince you to come down to the Sunshine State.
• 3:57:48
  Speaker 1: Well, they always tell me. They love DeSantis. They always
• 3:57:51
  Speaker 1: tell me, hey, if you live..
• 3:57:55
  Speaker 28: What does DeSantis got to do with it?
• 3:57:57
  Speaker 1: Just the property taxes and just how they run a state.
• 3:58:01
  Speaker 1: But they always say the same thing. The sunshine and
• 3:58:07
  Speaker 1: the atmosphere, you live longer. I mean, they've told me
• 3:58:09
  Speaker 1: that for years. You just live a lot longer with sunshine.
• 3:58:14
  Speaker 28: There's a lot of truth in that.
• 3:58:15
  Speaker 27: Of course.
• 3:58:16
  Speaker 5: Of course.
• 3:58:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, so... And by the way..
• 3:58:21
  Speaker 28: Have you convinced the boss that that's what could be
• 3:58:24
  Speaker 28: in the future?
• 3:58:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's any need to convince her. Let
• 3:58:27
  Speaker 1: me put it that way. I don't think I have
• 3:58:32
  Speaker 1: to convince her of anything as far as that's concerned.
• 3:58:35
  Speaker 28: She's probably got those bags already up in the attic
• 3:58:38
  Speaker 28: ready to go.
• 3:58:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:58:40
  Speaker 1: No, she'd be the first one that would tell you that...
• 3:58:43
  Speaker 1: that sunny weather makes a big difference in her world.
• 3:58:46
  Speaker 1: Let's put it that way.
• 3:58:47
  Speaker 28: Well, you know, I mean, why, you want to move in?
• 3:58:56
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 3:58:57
  Speaker 28: I mean, it would make it a lot easier if
• 3:58:59
  Speaker 28: everybody was, you know, out of the house. Just the
• 3:59:02
  Speaker 28: two of you and boom. You could do it without
• 3:59:04
  Speaker 28: any problem.
• 3:59:05
  Speaker 1: Here's the strange thing. I like Ohio. I mean, the
• 3:59:10
  Speaker 1: strange thing is I like Ohio. I like the changing
• 3:59:13
  Speaker 1: of the seasons. And I don't dislike this area. You know,
• 3:59:19
  Speaker 1: when people say, I think this is actually a wonderful community,
• 3:59:22
  Speaker 1: very affordable place to live for the most part. Property
• 3:59:25
  Speaker 1: taxes are getting out of hand. But I think in general,
• 3:59:27
  Speaker 1: it's a wonderful community. And I enjoy the Ohio weather.
• 3:59:32
  Speaker 1: I enjoy springtime. I enjoy summer. And I enjoy fall.
• 3:59:37
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 3:59:37
  Speaker 28: Same here. But, you know, that every day 65, 75,
• 3:59:42
  Speaker 28: 80 degrees would be most welcome at this time, don't
• 3:59:46
  Speaker 28: you think?
• 3:59:47
  Speaker 1: Probably so.
• 3:59:48
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 3:59:50
  Speaker 28: I love the way you've been working outside all this time,
• 3:59:54
  Speaker 28: and I love the change and the leaves and the
• 3:59:57
  Speaker 28: colors and all that, too.
• 3:59:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:00:00
  Speaker 28: You know, that's your decision.
• 4:00:02
  Speaker 1: You know, the thing is, here's what you learn when
• 4:00:06
  Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time outside over all the years.
• 4:00:09
  Speaker 1: And you might remember when I was young, there wasn't
• 4:00:12
  Speaker 1: much talk about sunblock or sunscreen and that kind of stuff.
• 4:00:17
  Speaker 1: So consequently, you know, I go to the dermatologist every
• 4:00:20
  Speaker 1: six months to make sure, you know, all those years
• 4:00:23
  Speaker 1: of getting sunburned and and all that kind of stuff
• 4:00:27
  Speaker 1: can catch up to you, you know, and sometimes you've
• 4:00:29
  Speaker 1: got to have some of that stuff cut off of
• 4:00:31
  Speaker 1: you so it doesn't get worse.
• 4:00:33
  Speaker 28: Well, after all, I mean, during all those years, I
• 4:00:36
  Speaker 28: hope that you at least had long sleeves and hats
• 4:00:40
  Speaker 28: and all that. I mean, you were well aware of
• 4:00:42
  Speaker 28: that 40 years ago.
• 4:00:43
  Speaker 1: Well, the answer to that would be no. I would
• 4:00:46
  Speaker 1: always say no. The answer is no. And I've gotten
• 4:00:49
  Speaker 1: all these lectures from... these dermatology people that say, Oh,
• 4:00:53
  Speaker 1: you got to make sure you wear your hat and
• 4:00:55
  Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff. I mean, luckily I haven't
• 4:00:57
  Speaker 1: had any, any major skin cancer problems or anything like that. So,
• 4:01:01
  Speaker 1: so I, I'm, I'm blessed with that. But as I
• 4:01:03
  Speaker 1: got older, I learned my lesson. You know, I learned,
• 4:01:06
  Speaker 1: I started listening to him. Let's, let's put it that way.
• 4:01:08
  Speaker 28: But when you get older, you, uh, You do start
• 4:01:14
  Speaker 28: to listen a little more.
• 4:01:15
  Speaker 9: Don't you?
• 4:01:16
  Speaker 36: Yes.
• 4:01:16
  Speaker 1: Why is that? Yes, you do. They would always say, well,
• 4:01:20
  Speaker 1: you know, stuff usually pops up as you get older.
• 4:01:24
  Speaker 1: It kind of festers and it pops up then. And
• 4:01:28
  Speaker 1: so sun is great, but you've got to be careful
• 4:01:32
  Speaker 1: that you don't burn yourself too much.
• 4:01:34
  Speaker 28: There's that old saying that youth is always wasted on
• 4:01:38
  Speaker 28: the young.
• 4:01:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:01:40
  Speaker 28: And that's true.
• 4:01:41
  Speaker 9: See, I mean..
• 4:01:42
  Speaker 28: Whenever you realize that there's things that you should have done, anyway,
• 4:01:46
  Speaker 28: we won't get into that.
• 4:01:48
  Speaker 1: But I think..
• 4:01:49
  Speaker 28: Because you seem to... You're on every time you say, oh,
• 4:01:53
  Speaker 28: I've been here 38, then 39.
• 4:01:54
  Speaker 6: No, no, no.
• 4:01:55
  Speaker 28: You said 39 about six months ago.
• 4:01:58
  Speaker 33: No, it's... It really is 41, huh?
• 4:02:01
  Speaker 1: It really is 41, yes.
• 4:02:03
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 4:02:05
  Speaker 1: And keep in mind, I was doing this in Akron,
• 4:02:08
  Speaker 1: Canton before I came here.
• 4:02:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:02:13
  Speaker 28: You were 27 when you started here, so you started
• 4:02:16
  Speaker 28: up there, what, right after college?
• 4:02:19
  Speaker 1: Even before that. I'll tell you the story. My older brother,
• 4:02:24
  Speaker 1: as I mentioned, who's 10 years older, he was in broadcasting.
• 4:02:29
  Speaker 1: He was in the radio industry. And I was just
• 4:02:33
  Speaker 1: a little kid at the time, and I would go
• 4:02:35
  Speaker 1: with him when he would go to his radio station.
• 4:02:40
  Speaker 1: If I spin way back, people wouldn't even remember this,
• 4:02:43
  Speaker 1: the people that were there. But I go way back
• 4:02:46
  Speaker 1: and I would go with him as a young kid.
• 4:02:49
  Speaker 1: I would be what, 12, 13 years old, or maybe
• 4:02:53
  Speaker 1: even younger. Well, maybe even younger than that. And I
• 4:02:59
  Speaker 1: would go up with him, and he would teach me things.
• 4:03:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, he is the reason I got into broadcasting.
• 4:03:05
  Speaker 1: He would show me stuff and teach me stuff as
• 4:03:09
  Speaker 1: a little kid. And then the company was owned by
• 4:03:12
  Speaker 1: the Susquehanna Broadcasting Company. I'll always remember that, the Susquehanna
• 4:03:16
  Speaker 1: Broadcasting Company. And then they hired me at 14 years
• 4:03:20
  Speaker 1: old is when they hired me in Akron to run
• 4:03:24
  Speaker 1: the control board when some great legends, really, in Akron radio,
• 4:03:30
  Speaker 1: big names at the time.
• 4:03:32
  Speaker 28: At 14, they hired you at 14?
• 4:03:34
  Speaker 1: I was the youngest employee ever hired. But I already
• 4:03:38
  Speaker 1: knew what to do and everything like that. So my
• 4:03:41
  Speaker 1: mother and father would drive me from Akron. our home
• 4:03:44
  Speaker 1: in Medina up to Fairlawn and drop me off and
• 4:03:48
  Speaker 1: pick me up. And I would run the control board
• 4:03:52
  Speaker 1: for when they would be doing live broadcasts, like from
• 4:03:54
  Speaker 1: furniture stores and that kind of stuff. It was a
• 4:03:56
  Speaker 1: music station at the time. And I did that for
• 4:04:00
  Speaker 1: several years and loved everything about it. It was absolutely wonderful.
• 4:04:05
  Speaker 1: And all of those guys treated me tremendously. I mean,
• 4:04:09
  Speaker 1: all of the all of their well-known disc jockeys. They
• 4:04:14
  Speaker 1: were all excellent guys. And they would teach me things
• 4:04:17
  Speaker 1: and treated me tremendously. I mean, it was a great
• 4:04:22
  Speaker 1: young experience as a young lad to have, let me
• 4:04:24
  Speaker 1: put it that way. And then I was on the
• 4:04:29
  Speaker 1: air as I started out as a disc jockey playing
• 4:04:33
  Speaker 1: records and literally records on the weekends. And I worked
• 4:04:38
  Speaker 1: every weekend, every holiday, because I was a young kid
• 4:04:41
  Speaker 1: And then they changed the format. Then they changed the
• 4:04:44
  Speaker 1: format of the station to a talk format. And they
• 4:04:48
  Speaker 1: hired a guy from Youngstown, a guy named Nick Anthony.
• 4:04:51
  Speaker 1: They hired him. It's a talk show host at BBW
• 4:04:54
  Speaker 1: at the time with Dan Ryan. And he was a
• 4:04:56
  Speaker 1: program director. And Nick Anthony came. And the general manager
• 4:05:01
  Speaker 1: was Alan Saunders. And Nick Anthony said, basically, I'll teach
• 4:05:05
  Speaker 1: you how to do talk radio. And I said, okay,
• 4:05:08
  Speaker 1: that's cool. So then I was probably 17 or 18
• 4:05:15
  Speaker 1: years old, maybe, in that ballpark when I started having
• 4:05:18
  Speaker 1: a talk show in Akron. And Nick Anthony schooled me
• 4:05:24
  Speaker 1: in how to do talk radio. And I listened to
• 4:05:28
  Speaker 1: what he said. And I stayed there a number of
• 4:05:31
  Speaker 1: years and did that. Then I went to WHBC in Canton.
• 4:05:36
  Speaker 1: I left WHLO and I went to WHBC in Canton.
• 4:05:39
  Speaker 1: And I work there. And you might have heard like
• 4:05:42
  Speaker 1: a week or two ago, I came to Youngstown because
• 4:05:44
  Speaker 1: Carolyn Persutti, who I worked with in Canton, came to Youngstown.
• 4:05:50
  Speaker 1: And because of her and Pete Gabriels was putting a
• 4:05:54
  Speaker 1: format together on this station. He had hired Dan Ryan
• 4:05:56
  Speaker 1: away from WPBW and he knew. another talk show host.
• 4:06:01
  Speaker 1: And Carolyn Pursuit, he says, I know a guy. And
• 4:06:04
  Speaker 1: Pete Gabriel said, well, we're going to start this talk format.
• 4:06:08
  Speaker 1: And so he hired me away from the Canton radio
• 4:06:12
  Speaker 1: station to come up here and to start here with
• 4:06:16
  Speaker 1: Dan Ryan. And that's how that all came about. That's
• 4:06:23
  Speaker 1: how that whole scenario came about. So if it wasn't for..
• 4:06:30
  Speaker 28: You had a gift of dad from that early age.
• 4:06:34
  Speaker 1: If it wasn't for my older brother, I don't know
• 4:06:38
  Speaker 1: that I would have ever ended up in broadcasting if
• 4:06:40
  Speaker 1: it wasn't for him. If it wasn't for... Alan Saunders,
• 4:06:44
  Speaker 1: the station manager at WHL at the time, had no
• 4:06:47
  Speaker 1: problem with hiring a 14-year-old kid. And if it wasn't
• 4:06:51
  Speaker 1: for Todd T. Taylor and Johnny Andrews and Carl Day
• 4:06:57
  Speaker 1: and Steve Cannon and Nick Anthony and all those guys
• 4:07:01
  Speaker 1: that mentored me and helped me along the way, and
• 4:07:07
  Speaker 1: then if it wasn't for Rick Jacobs, who hired me
• 4:07:10
  Speaker 1: at at WHBC and Mike Dorn, and if it wasn't
• 4:07:17
  Speaker 1: for them. You know, I'm going to tell you an
• 4:07:20
  Speaker 1: interesting scenario if you stay tuned. Hang on a minute,
• 4:07:23
  Speaker 1: Fifth Avenue. I'll tell you something interesting in a minute.
• 4:07:26
  Speaker 15: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN. Back to it,
• 4:07:29
  Speaker 15: NewsRadio 570 WKBN and Ron.
• 4:07:31
  Speaker 13: Verb, 534.
• 4:07:31
  Speaker 1: It's 85 degrees. It's a hot, humid Wednesday, July 8th.
• 4:07:40
  Speaker 1: And you're on the air.
• 4:07:42
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 4:07:43
  Speaker 6: Hey, how you doing?
• 4:07:44
  Speaker 20: Good.
• 4:07:45
  Speaker 25: Hey, I got a question for you. You know, I
• 4:07:49
  Speaker 25: don't think I asked you, but I've asked our trustees.
• 4:07:51
  Speaker 25: And they don't seem to give me an answer. And
• 4:07:53
  Speaker 25: you seem to know everything.
• 4:07:55
  Speaker 1: I know everything. Everything.
• 4:07:58
  Speaker 25: Okay, then tell me how I got out of Mahoning. No,
• 4:08:02
  Speaker 25: I went down Route 46, heading towards Niles. Gas prices
• 4:08:08
  Speaker 25: at sheets $ 355. Ohio 379, Pilot 377. You get to Now's,
• 4:08:18
  Speaker 25: and you go to the get-go, and it's 302. Not once,
• 4:08:25
  Speaker 25: but many times, I've ended up going to Now's get-go
• 4:08:30
  Speaker 25: to get gas almost 60 to 70 cents cheaper. How
• 4:08:33
  Speaker 25: does Trumbull do that?
• 4:08:36
  Speaker 1: Well, you're asking an excellent question. It's just like often
• 4:08:39
  Speaker 1: when I leave here and I see the Shell Station
• 4:08:41
  Speaker 1: at the corner of 224 and South Avenue, it'll be
• 4:08:46
  Speaker 1: like today. I think it was at 325, I think,
• 4:08:50
  Speaker 1: or I think it's at 325. And the reason why
• 4:08:54
  Speaker 1: that one is so much cheaper than all the rest
• 4:08:56
  Speaker 1: of them is because right up the road from that
• 4:08:58
  Speaker 1: Shell Station is Sam's Club. And so they're competing with
• 4:09:02
  Speaker 1: Sam's Club that has those low gas prices that you
• 4:09:06
  Speaker 1: see people lined up for at Sam's Club, which... which
• 4:09:08
  Speaker 1: is in the low threes. And I have heard this
• 4:09:13
  Speaker 1: before on these varying gas prices and how it's cheaper
• 4:09:18
  Speaker 1: in some areas than other areas. It doesn't make a
• 4:09:21
  Speaker 1: lick of sense, particularly when it's the same brand gas
• 4:09:26
  Speaker 1: up here that you're getting down there, right? So the
• 4:09:28
  Speaker 1: same chain station.
• 4:09:31
  Speaker 5: You're right.
• 4:09:32
  Speaker 25: I mean, you're right. A couple of weeks ago, I
• 4:09:34
  Speaker 25: was at... What was it, Raccoon and 224 at the
• 4:09:38
  Speaker 25: get-go there?
• 4:09:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:09:40
  Speaker 25: And I was getting ready, and it was 324. And
• 4:09:45
  Speaker 25: I said, okay, well, I'll go get the cans, but
• 4:09:47
  Speaker 25: I'll go to the get-go at Austintown. Austintown was $ 3. 65,
• 4:09:53
  Speaker 25: 40 cents more for the same station. It's like Austintown,
• 4:09:59
  Speaker 25: we are paying the most out of any area.
• 4:10:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got to be cognizant of it. I mean,
• 4:10:06
  Speaker 1: you can get it. You get it less at Sam's Club.
• 4:10:10
  Speaker 1: And if you're probably stationed around Sam's Club, it's less
• 4:10:14
  Speaker 1: than that. You're saying when you go to Niles, you
• 4:10:16
  Speaker 1: find it even cheaper when you go down there.
• 4:10:19
  Speaker 33: Yeah.
• 4:10:20
  Speaker 5: And I don't know.
• 4:10:20
  Speaker 25: I thought maybe you might have a contact with any
• 4:10:23
  Speaker 25: of these people, Leiden or anybody. What seems to be
• 4:10:26
  Speaker 25: the difference?
• 4:10:28
  Speaker 1: There you have it. I thought I knew everything, but
• 4:10:31
  Speaker 1: you found something that I can't tell you why that
• 4:10:34
  Speaker 1: oddity is taking place. Stay tuned.
• 4:10:36
  Speaker 3: Can't believe it.
• 4:10:37
  Speaker 25: Can't believe it, Ron. You're the man.
• 4:10:39
  Speaker 1: Thank you. You're on the air.
• 4:10:40
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 4:10:42
  Speaker 28: Verb, I have the answer.
• 4:10:44
  Speaker 24: Oh, good.
• 4:10:45
  Speaker 1: It's Fifth Avenue. The man calling. I certainly hope you're
• 4:10:48
  Speaker 1: air conditioned. Did you survive the tornado?
• 4:10:51
  Speaker 24: I did.
• 4:10:53
  Speaker 28: Now, we'll get into that. I just want to say
• 4:10:56
  Speaker 28: the person in the Oval Office is the biggest scammer gone. So, therefore,
• 4:11:02
  Speaker 28: all that gasoline and all that, that's a scam. But
• 4:11:06
  Speaker 28: we're not going to get into that today because I
• 4:11:09
  Speaker 28: want to talk about some other things. Yes, I survived
• 4:11:13
  Speaker 28: the storm. No big problems over where I'm at. And
• 4:11:17
  Speaker 28: I hope you didn't get any trees on your home
• 4:11:20
  Speaker 28: or anything like that.
• 4:11:21
  Speaker 1: I did not get any trees on my home, but
• 4:11:25
  Speaker 1: we were without power for like 36 hours, and we
• 4:11:28
  Speaker 1: took the storm on, the winds, the rain, the tornado,
• 4:11:32
  Speaker 1: and luckily everything was A-OK. As I say, with the
• 4:11:37
  Speaker 1: generator and the sump pump was running, so we didn't
• 4:11:39
  Speaker 1: have to worry about a flooded basement or anything going
• 4:11:42
  Speaker 1: bad in the refrigerator.
• 4:11:43
  Speaker 28: Heather in Boardman, he had no power for, I don't know, 16,
• 4:11:49
  Speaker 28: 17 hours, something like that.
• 4:11:51
  Speaker 1: Does he have a sump pump?
• 4:11:53
  Speaker 28: No, no, but he had a neighbor that helped him
• 4:11:56
  Speaker 28: out with his refrigeration and all that stuff.
• 4:11:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because, I mean, you've got to get a generator,
• 4:12:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, a gas start one or whatever, because you
• 4:12:04
  Speaker 1: don't want your freezer or your refrigerator going bad.
• 4:12:10
  Speaker 28: Every time that you talk about retiring and going and
• 4:12:15
  Speaker 28: hanging it up, you seem to add one million... One
• 4:12:21
  Speaker 28: more year to that. It started out like six months ago.
• 4:12:25
  Speaker 28: It was 38 years. Now, about three, four months later,
• 4:12:30
  Speaker 28: it's 41 years.
• 4:12:31
  Speaker 1: Right. I've been here 41.
• 4:12:33
  Speaker 28: I just wanted to get a chronological.
• 4:12:37
  Speaker 6: Upbeat.
• 4:12:38
  Speaker 28: Tell me, how many years is it really?
• 4:12:43
  Speaker 1: It's 41 on this radio station.
• 4:12:45
  Speaker 33: 41 years.
• 4:12:46
  Speaker 5: Yep. Is that right?
• 4:12:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is. That's a long time. So do the math.
• 4:12:53
  Speaker 1: Let's figure that out. Jesus. Yeah, it means when I started,
• 4:13:02
  Speaker 1: I was 27 years old here. 27 years old?
• 4:13:03
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 4:13:07
  Speaker 28: And you had a four-hour show that entire time?
• 4:13:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes. Absolutely. That entire time. I used to be on...
• 4:13:15
  Speaker 1: 7 to 11 at night for many, many, many years.
• 4:13:22
  Speaker 1: 7 to 11 at night. And then it's a switch
• 4:13:25
  Speaker 1: to 3 to 7 in the afternoon. And I've always
• 4:13:30
  Speaker 1: done a four-hour broadcast. And I always wanted to do
• 4:13:36
  Speaker 1: a three-hour broadcast. But it never seemed to work out.
• 4:13:41
  Speaker 1: But in some recent discussions... where we entered some discussions,
• 4:13:49
  Speaker 1: and I just expressed that I would prefer to do
• 4:13:52
  Speaker 1: just three to six than three to seven. So it's
• 4:13:55
  Speaker 1: just a little less of a grind, let's put it
• 4:14:00
  Speaker 1: that way.
• 4:14:01
  Speaker 28: Are you still putting in seven, eight hours with the
• 4:14:04
  Speaker 28: other job?
• 4:14:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely. And I put in a ton here, you
• 4:14:09
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? Hey, if you enjoy what you do...
• 4:14:14
  Speaker 1: then you're honestly a blessed man. I mean, you know,
• 4:14:19
  Speaker 1: I love that, and I've loved this.
• 4:14:22
  Speaker 28: How many years have you been doing that, the other job?
• 4:14:28
  Speaker 1: Pretty much as long as I've done this one. Maybe longer.
• 4:14:31
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 4:14:31
  Speaker 5: Maybe longer, yeah.
• 4:14:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, a long, long time. Let's put it that way.
• 4:14:37
  Speaker 1: Never met a job I didn't like, you know. I mean,
• 4:14:39
  Speaker 1: I never bellyached much about working. But, you know, as
• 4:14:44
  Speaker 1: I've said to you, time goes by in the blink
• 4:14:46
  Speaker 1: of an eye, doesn't it? I mean, I can't believe
• 4:14:48
  Speaker 1: how quickly life goes by.
• 4:14:50
  Speaker 28: It goes very quickly. Yes, it does. After the age
• 4:14:56
  Speaker 28: of 55, 60.
• 4:14:57
  Speaker 5: Look out.
• 4:14:58
  Speaker 28: The next 20 go, it's gone.
• 4:15:01
  Speaker 1: And I think you're right. I have older brothers. My
• 4:15:05
  Speaker 1: brother Paul is 10 years older, so he would be 78.
• 4:15:08
  Speaker 1: And I have another brother, Brian, and he would be,
• 4:15:14
  Speaker 1: let me think here, he'd be 71. And I can't
• 4:15:17
  Speaker 1: believe my brothers are that age. They're all healthy. They
• 4:15:22
  Speaker 1: live in Florida, but they're all healthy. And that's all
• 4:15:28
  Speaker 1: that matters.
• 4:15:29
  Speaker 28: Maybe they'll convince you to come down to the Sunshine State.
• 4:15:34
  Speaker 1: Well, they always tell me. They love DeSantis. They always
• 4:15:37
  Speaker 1: tell me, hey, if you live..
• 4:15:40
  Speaker 28: What does DeSantis got to do with it?
• 4:15:43
  Speaker 1: Just the property taxes and just how they run a state.
• 4:15:47
  Speaker 1: But they always say the same thing. The sunshine and
• 4:15:52
  Speaker 1: the atmosphere, you live longer. I mean, they've told me
• 4:15:55
  Speaker 1: that for years. You just live a lot longer with sunshine.
• 4:16:00
  Speaker 28: There's a lot of truth in that, of course.
• 4:16:02
  Speaker 5: Of course.
• 4:16:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, so..
• 4:16:05
  Speaker 7: You can face the..
• 4:16:07
  Speaker 28: Have you convinced the boss that that's what could be
• 4:16:10
  Speaker 28: in the future?
• 4:16:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's any need to convince her. Let
• 4:16:13
  Speaker 1: me put it that way. I don't think I have
• 4:16:17
  Speaker 1: to convince her of anything as far as that's concerned.
• 4:16:21
  Speaker 28: She's probably got those bags already up in.
• 4:16:23
  Speaker 5: The attic ready to go.
• 4:16:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, she'd be the first one that would tell
• 4:16:28
  Speaker 1: you that... that sunny weather makes a big difference in
• 4:16:31
  Speaker 1: her world. Let's put it that way.
• 4:16:32
  Speaker 28: You get all the little ones out, don't you? Just
• 4:16:36
  Speaker 28: the two of you? Isn't that it?
• 4:16:38
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I mean, what, you want to move in?
• 4:16:40
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 4:16:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I..
• 4:16:43
  Speaker 28: It would make it a lot easier if everybody was,
• 4:16:46
  Speaker 28: you know, out of the house. Just the two of
• 4:16:48
  Speaker 28: you and both.
• 4:16:49
  Speaker 3: You could do it without any problem.
• 4:16:50
  Speaker 1: Here's the strange thing. I don't... I like Ohio.
• 4:16:53
  Speaker 6: What?
• 4:16:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, the strange thing is I like Ohio. I
• 4:16:57
  Speaker 1: like the changing of the seasons. I don't dislike this area.
• 4:17:04
  Speaker 1: You know, when people say, I think this is actually
• 4:17:07
  Speaker 1: a wonderful community, very affordable place to live for the
• 4:17:10
  Speaker 1: most part. Property taxes are getting out of hand. But
• 4:17:12
  Speaker 1: I think in general, it's a wonderful community. And I
• 4:17:15
  Speaker 1: enjoy the Ohio weather. I enjoy springtime. I enjoy summer.
• 4:17:20
  Speaker 1: And I enjoy fall.
• 4:17:22
  Speaker 28: I get it. Same here. But, you know, that every
• 4:17:26
  Speaker 28: day 65, 75, 80 degrees would be most welcome at
• 4:17:31
  Speaker 28: this time, don't you think?
• 4:17:32
  Speaker 1: Probably so.
• 4:17:34
  Speaker 16: Yes.
• 4:17:35
  Speaker 28: I love the way you've been working outside all this time,
• 4:17:40
  Speaker 28: and I love the change and the leaves and the
• 4:17:43
  Speaker 28: colors and all that, too.
• 4:17:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:17:46
  Speaker 28: Well, that's your decision.
• 4:17:48
  Speaker 1: You know, the thing is, here's what you learn when
• 4:17:51
  Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time outside over all the years.
• 4:17:54
  Speaker 1: And you might remember when I was young, there wasn't
• 4:17:57
  Speaker 1: much talk about sunblock or sunscreen and that kind of stuff.
• 4:18:02
  Speaker 1: So consequently, you know, I go to the dermatologist every
• 4:18:06
  Speaker 1: six months to make sure, you know, all those years
• 4:18:08
  Speaker 1: of getting sunburned and and all that kind of stuff
• 4:18:13
  Speaker 1: can catch up to you. And sometimes you've got to
• 4:18:15
  Speaker 1: have some of that stuff cut off of you so
• 4:18:17
  Speaker 1: it doesn't get worse.
• 4:18:19
  Speaker 28: Well, after all, I mean, during all those years, I
• 4:18:22
  Speaker 28: hope that you at least had long sleeves and hats
• 4:18:25
  Speaker 28: and all that. I mean, you were well aware of
• 4:18:28
  Speaker 28: that 40 years ago.
• 4:18:29
  Speaker 1: Well, the answer to that would be no. I would
• 4:18:31
  Speaker 1: always say no. The answer is no. And I've gotten
• 4:18:35
  Speaker 1: all these lectures from– these dermatology people that say, Oh,
• 4:18:39
  Speaker 1: you got to make sure you wear your hat and
• 4:18:40
  Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff. I mean, luckily I haven't
• 4:18:43
  Speaker 1: had any, any major skin cancer problems or anything like that. So,
• 4:18:46
  Speaker 1: so I, I'm, I'm blessed with that. But as I
• 4:18:48
  Speaker 1: got older, I learned my lesson. You know, I learned,
• 4:18:51
  Speaker 1: I started listening to him. Let's, let's put it that way.
• 4:18:54
  Speaker 28: But when you get older, you, uh, You do start
• 4:18:59
  Speaker 28: to listen a little more, don't you?
• 4:19:01
  Speaker 1: Yes. Why is that? Yes, you do. They would always say, well,
• 4:19:06
  Speaker 1: you know, stuff usually pops up as you get older.
• 4:19:10
  Speaker 1: It kind of festers and it pops up then. And
• 4:19:14
  Speaker 1: so sun is great, but you've got to be careful
• 4:19:18
  Speaker 1: that you don't burn yourself too much.
• 4:19:20
  Speaker 28: There's that old saying that youth is always wasted on
• 4:19:24
  Speaker 28: the young.
• 4:19:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah. And that's true. See, I mean..
• 4:19:28
  Speaker 28: Whenever you realize that there's things that you should have done, anyway,
• 4:19:32
  Speaker 28: we won't get into that.
• 4:19:33
  Speaker 1: Well, but I think..
• 4:19:35
  Speaker 28: Because you seem to... You're on every time you say, oh,
• 4:19:38
  Speaker 28: I've been here 38, then 39.
• 4:19:40
  Speaker 6: No, no, no.
• 4:19:41
  Speaker 28: You said 39 about six months ago. No, it's... It
• 4:19:44
  Speaker 28: really is 41, huh?
• 4:19:47
  Speaker 1: It really is 41, yes.
• 4:19:49
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 4:19:51
  Speaker 1: And keep in mind, I was doing this in Akron,
• 4:19:54
  Speaker 1: Canton before I came here.
• 4:19:59
  Speaker 28: You were 27 when you started here, so you started
• 4:20:01
  Speaker 28: up there, what, right after college?
• 4:20:05
  Speaker 1: Even before that. I'll tell you the story. My older brother,
• 4:20:10
  Speaker 1: as I mentioned, who's 10 years older, he was in broadcasting.
• 4:20:14
  Speaker 1: He was in the radio industry. And I was just
• 4:20:18
  Speaker 1: a little kid at the time, and I would go
• 4:20:21
  Speaker 1: with him when he would go to his radio station.
• 4:20:26
  Speaker 1: If I spin way back, people wouldn't even remember this,
• 4:20:29
  Speaker 1: the people that were there. But I go way back
• 4:20:32
  Speaker 1: and I would go with him as a young kid.
• 4:20:34
  Speaker 1: I would be, what, 12, 13 years old or maybe
• 4:20:39
  Speaker 1: even younger. Well, maybe even younger than that. And I
• 4:20:45
  Speaker 1: would go up with him and he would teach me things.
• 4:20:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, he is the reason I got into broadcasting.
• 4:20:51
  Speaker 1: He would show me stuff and teach me stuff. as
• 4:20:55
  Speaker 1: a little kid. And then the company was owned by
• 4:20:58
  Speaker 1: the Susquehanna Broadcasting Company. I'll always remember that, the Susquehanna
• 4:21:01
  Speaker 1: Broadcasting Company. And then they hired me at 14 years
• 4:21:06
  Speaker 1: old is when they hired me in Akron to run
• 4:21:10
  Speaker 1: the control board when these When some great legends, really,
• 4:21:15
  Speaker 1: in Akron Radio, big names at the time.
• 4:21:17
  Speaker 28: At 14, they hired you at 14.
• 4:21:20
  Speaker 1: I was the youngest employee ever hired. But I already
• 4:21:23
  Speaker 1: knew what to do and everything like that. So my
• 4:21:27
  Speaker 1: mother and father would drive me from... our home in
• 4:21:30
  Speaker 1: Medina up to Fairlawn and drop me off and pick
• 4:21:33
  Speaker 1: me up. And I would run the control board for
• 4:21:37
  Speaker 1: when they would be doing live broadcasts, like from furniture
• 4:21:40
  Speaker 1: stores and that kind of stuff. It was a music
• 4:21:42
  Speaker 1: station at the time. And I did that for several
• 4:21:46
  Speaker 1: years and loved everything about it. It was absolutely wonderful.
• 4:21:50
  Speaker 1: And all of those guys treated me tremendously. I mean,
• 4:21:55
  Speaker 1: all of the All of their well-known disc jockeys, they
• 4:21:59
  Speaker 1: were all excellent guys. And they would teach me things
• 4:22:03
  Speaker 1: and treated me tremendously. I mean, it was great. young
• 4:22:08
  Speaker 1: experience as a young lad to have, let me put
• 4:22:10
  Speaker 1: it that way. And then, and then they, then I,
• 4:22:14
  Speaker 1: I was on the air as I started out as
• 4:22:16
  Speaker 1: a disc jockey, uh, playing records and, uh, and literally
• 4:22:20
  Speaker 1: records on the weekends. And so I worked every weekend,
• 4:22:24
  Speaker 1: every holiday, cause I was a young kid. And, uh,
• 4:22:27
  Speaker 1: then they changed the format. Then they changed the format
• 4:22:30
  Speaker 1: of the station to a talk format. And, uh, They
• 4:22:34
  Speaker 1: hired a guy from Youngstown, a guy named Nick Anthony.
• 4:22:37
  Speaker 1: They hired him. It's a talk show host at BBW
• 4:22:40
  Speaker 1: at the time with Dan Ryan. And he was a
• 4:22:42
  Speaker 1: program director. And Nick Anthony came. And the general manager
• 4:22:47
  Speaker 1: was Alan Saunders. And Nick Anthony said, basically, I'll teach
• 4:22:51
  Speaker 1: you how to do talk radio. And I said, okay,
• 4:22:54
  Speaker 1: that's cool. So then I was probably 17 or 18
• 4:23:01
  Speaker 1: years old, maybe, in that ballpark when I started having
• 4:23:04
  Speaker 1: a talk show at Akron. And Nick Anthony schooled me
• 4:23:10
  Speaker 1: in how to do talk radio. And I listened to
• 4:23:14
  Speaker 1: what he said. And I stayed there a number of
• 4:23:17
  Speaker 1: years and did that. Then I went to WHBC in Canton.
• 4:23:22
  Speaker 1: I left WHLO and I went to WHBC in Canton.
• 4:23:25
  Speaker 1: And I work there. And you might have heard like
• 4:23:28
  Speaker 1: a week or two ago, I came to Youngstown because
• 4:23:30
  Speaker 1: Carolyn Persutti, who I worked with in Canton, came to Youngstown.
• 4:23:35
  Speaker 1: And because of her and Pete Gabriel was putting a
• 4:23:39
  Speaker 1: format together on this station. He had hired Dan Ryan
• 4:23:42
  Speaker 1: away from WPBW and he needed another talk show host.
• 4:23:47
  Speaker 1: And Carolyn Persutti says, I know a guy. And Pete
• 4:23:51
  Speaker 1: Gabriel said, well, we're going to start this talk format.
• 4:23:54
  Speaker 1: And so he hired Dan. hired me away from the
• 4:23:57
  Speaker 1: Canton radio station to come up here and start here
• 4:24:03
  Speaker 1: with Dan Ryan. And that's how that all came about.
• 4:24:08
  Speaker 1: That's how that whole scenario came about. So if it
• 4:24:15
  Speaker 1: wasn't for..
• 4:24:16
  Speaker 28: You had a gift of dad from that early age.
• 4:24:20
  Speaker 1: If it wasn't for my older brother... I don't know
• 4:24:23
  Speaker 1: that I would have ever ended up in broadcasting if
• 4:24:26
  Speaker 1: it wasn't for him. If it wasn't for Alan Saunders,
• 4:24:30
  Speaker 1: the station manager at WHLO at the time that had
• 4:24:33
  Speaker 1: no problem with hiring a 14-year-old kid. And if it
• 4:24:37
  Speaker 1: wasn't for Todd T. Taylor and Johnny Andrews and Carl
• 4:24:42
  Speaker 1: Day and Steve Cannon and Nick Anthony and all those
• 4:24:46
  Speaker 1: guys that mentored me, I wouldn't. and help me along
• 4:24:51
  Speaker 1: the way. And then if it wasn't for Rick Jacobs,
• 4:24:55
  Speaker 1: who hired me at WHBC, and Mike Dorn, and if
• 4:25:02
  Speaker 1: it wasn't for them, you know, I'm going to tell
• 4:25:05
  Speaker 1: you an interesting scenario. If you stay tuned. Hang on
• 4:25:08
  Speaker 1: a minute, Fifth Avenue. I'll tell you something interesting in
• 4:25:10
  Speaker 1: a minute. In this edition of the Marketer's Report, Scott Mead.
• 4:25:18
  Speaker 10: Are you Youngstown's news, weather, and talk station?
• 4:25:21
  Speaker 6: 570-WKBN.
• 4:25:22
  Speaker 10: All right, Fifth.
• 4:25:24
  Speaker 1: Avenue, are you there?
• 4:25:25
  Speaker 28: Yeah, when you took over when you were a young
• 4:25:28
  Speaker 28: kid at 14 or 17, was it politically flavored like
• 4:25:32
  Speaker 28: you do today?
• 4:25:33
  Speaker 5: Most of your.
• 4:25:40
  Speaker 28: Is political.
• 4:25:40
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 4:25:41
  Speaker 28: When you were younger, was it a lot political? What
• 4:25:43
  Speaker 28: kind of talk show did you run when you were younger?
• 4:25:46
  Speaker 1: Political. It's always really been political for the most part.
• 4:25:50
  Speaker 5: Really? Okay.
• 4:25:51
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? They used to say to
• 4:25:55
  Speaker 1: me at the time, because I was a young man,
• 4:25:57
  Speaker 1: they used to say, hey, You sound pretty good for
• 4:26:00
  Speaker 1: a young guy, so don't give out your age. Right?
• 4:26:03
  Speaker 1: Because I was so young. And now they're saying the
• 4:26:06
  Speaker 1: same thing to me. Hey, you sound pretty good for
• 4:26:08
  Speaker 1: an old guy, so don't give out your age. But
• 4:26:13
  Speaker 1: here's the hitch. I mean, you know, when I look
• 4:26:16
  Speaker 1: back on this kind of stuff. So I was doing
• 4:26:19
  Speaker 1: a talk show in Akron when I was very young.
• 4:26:21
  Speaker 1: Like I said, it wasn't for my brother. If it
• 4:26:24
  Speaker 1: wasn't for Alan Saunders, if it wasn't for those guys
• 4:26:26
  Speaker 1: that I mentioned that gave me a great childhood, and
• 4:26:30
  Speaker 1: if it wasn't for Nick Anthony teaching me about talk
• 4:26:34
  Speaker 1: radio and all of that kind of stuff, I don't
• 4:26:37
  Speaker 1: know that I'd be here today. And if it wasn't
• 4:26:40
  Speaker 1: for Rick Jacobs hiring me in Canton and Mike Dorn
• 4:26:44
  Speaker 1: and Paul Gilmore, who was the general manager at the time,
• 4:26:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I would be here today. But
• 4:26:50
  Speaker 1: here's the rub. When I was in Canton, and so
• 4:26:54
  Speaker 1: much revolves around girls for some reason. When I was
• 4:26:57
  Speaker 1: in Canton, I decided at one point that I was
• 4:27:02
  Speaker 1: going to leave broadcasting. And I applied at United Airlines,
• 4:27:07
  Speaker 1: not to be a pilot. I applied for a job
• 4:27:09
  Speaker 1: at United Airlines. I remember I went up to Rocky
• 4:27:11
  Speaker 1: River to be interviewed. And I went up there, and
• 4:27:15
  Speaker 1: these guys interviewed me in Rocky River, and they offered
• 4:27:19
  Speaker 1: me a job right there on the spot, which I
• 4:27:22
  Speaker 1: thought I was kind of shocked. So they said, we're
• 4:27:24
  Speaker 1: prepared to offer you, make you an offer right now
• 4:27:27
  Speaker 1: for this job. And it was a good job and
• 4:27:28
  Speaker 1: good pay and all that kind of stuff. And I says, really?
• 4:27:33
  Speaker 1: And so I accepted it. And then when I came
• 4:27:39
  Speaker 1: back to the station and I told them that I
• 4:27:41
  Speaker 1: accepted this job– They thought I was pretty good at
• 4:27:48
  Speaker 1: what I was doing in broadcasting, and they said, we'll
• 4:27:50
  Speaker 1: kind of hold a spot for you for a period
• 4:27:52
  Speaker 1: of time, and you go see if you like it,
• 4:27:54
  Speaker 1: and if you don't like it, then come on back.
• 4:27:57
  Speaker 27: Wow.
• 4:27:57
  Speaker 28: They must have seen something there that they really liked.
• 4:28:02
  Speaker 1: So I went up there, and I did that job
• 4:28:04
  Speaker 1: for a while, and I said, I don't know if
• 4:28:07
  Speaker 1: this is for me. Didn't seem like it was exciting
• 4:28:10
  Speaker 1: as broadcasting, so I left that and, you know, parted
• 4:28:14
  Speaker 1: on good terms and went back to broadcasting. And that's
• 4:28:18
  Speaker 1: how I ultimately ended up here, because Carolyn Pursuti came here,
• 4:28:24
  Speaker 1: and she paved the way for me to come here.
• 4:28:28
  Speaker 1: Women have always done an important thing. You know, there's
• 4:28:32
  Speaker 1: many people I thank for what they've done in my
• 4:28:35
  Speaker 1: life to make magic happen. You should always thank those people.
• 4:28:41
  Speaker 1: You know, I always would thank Pete Gabriel, God rest
• 4:28:44
  Speaker 1: his soul, because, you know, he hired me and took
• 4:28:46
  Speaker 1: a chance on me. He's a great man. You know?
• 4:28:50
  Speaker 28: All right.
• 4:28:51
  Speaker 1: Are you done? I think I lost him. All right.
• 4:28:55
  Speaker 1: But anyway, that's enough of that. Enough of reflecting. So
• 4:28:59
  Speaker 1: like I say, we wrap up at 6. Sean Hannity
• 4:29:01
  Speaker 1: comes up next on NewsRadio 570. We'll be back tomorrow
• 4:29:04
  Speaker 1: afternoon at 3. And we'll be with you from 3
• 4:29:08
  Speaker 1: to 6 and with John Arnold's Money Talk from 6
• 4:29:10
  Speaker 1: to 7 tomorrow night. I appreciate you tolerating me going
• 4:29:14
  Speaker 1: down memory lane on NewsRadio.
• 4:29:17
  Speaker 15: And Talk Station 570 WKBN. All right.
• 4:29:20
  Speaker 1: Fifth Avenue, are you there?
• 4:29:22
  Speaker 28: Yeah, when you took over when you were a young
• 4:29:24
  Speaker 28: kid at 14 or 17, was it politically flavored like
• 4:29:34
  Speaker 28: you do today? Most of yours is political.
• 4:29:37
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 4:29:37
  Speaker 28: When you were younger, was it a lot political? What
• 4:29:40
  Speaker 28: kind of talk show did you run when you were younger?
• 4:29:42
  Speaker 1: Political. It's always really been political for the most part.
• 4:29:47
  Speaker 5: Really? Okay.
• 4:29:48
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah. They used to say
• 4:29:51
  Speaker 1: to me at the time, because I was a young man,
• 4:29:53
  Speaker 1: they used to say, hey, you sound pretty good for
• 4:29:56
  Speaker 1: a young guy, so don't give out your age.
• 4:29:59
  Speaker 20: Right?
• 4:29:59
  Speaker 1: Because I was so young. And now they're saying the
• 4:30:03
  Speaker 1: same thing to me. Hey, you sound pretty good for
• 4:30:05
  Speaker 1: an old guy, so don't give out your age. But
• 4:30:09
  Speaker 1: here's the hitch. I mean, you know, when I look
• 4:30:13
  Speaker 1: back on this kind of stuff. So I was doing
• 4:30:16
  Speaker 1: a talk show in Akron when I was very young.
• 4:30:18
  Speaker 1: Like I said, it wasn't for my brother. if it
• 4:30:20
  Speaker 1: wasn't for Alan Saunders, if it wasn't for those guys
• 4:30:23
  Speaker 1: that I mentioned that gave me a great childhood, and
• 4:30:26
  Speaker 1: if it wasn't for Nick Anthony teaching me about talk
• 4:30:30
  Speaker 1: radio and all of that kind of stuff, I don't
• 4:30:34
  Speaker 1: know that I'd be here today. And if it wasn't
• 4:30:37
  Speaker 1: for Rick Jacobs hiring me in Canton and Mike Dorn
• 4:30:40
  Speaker 1: and And Paul Gilmore, who was the general manager at
• 4:30:44
  Speaker 1: the time, I don't know that I would be here today.
• 4:30:46
  Speaker 1: But here's the rub. When I was in Canton, and
• 4:30:51
  Speaker 1: so much revolves around girls for some reason. When I
• 4:30:54
  Speaker 1: was in Canton, I decided at one point that I
• 4:30:58
  Speaker 1: was going to leave broadcasting.
• 4:31:00
  Speaker 3: And I.
• 4:31:02
  Speaker 1: Applied at United Airlines, not to be a pilot. I
• 4:31:05
  Speaker 1: applied for a job at United Airlines. I remember I
• 4:31:07
  Speaker 1: went up to Rocky River to be interviewed. And I
• 4:31:11
  Speaker 1: went up there, and these guys interviewed me in Rocky River,
• 4:31:14
  Speaker 1: and they offered me a job right there on the spot,
• 4:31:18
  Speaker 1: which I thought was kind of shocked. So they said,
• 4:31:21
  Speaker 1: we're prepared to offer you, make you an offer right
• 4:31:23
  Speaker 1: now for this job. And it was a good job
• 4:31:25
  Speaker 1: and good pay and all that kind of stuff. And
• 4:31:28
  Speaker 1: I says, really? And so I accepted it. And then,
• 4:31:35
  Speaker 1: then when I came back to the station and I
• 4:31:37
  Speaker 1: told them that I accepted this, this job, they, they says, well,
• 4:31:42
  Speaker 1: you know, they thought I was pretty good at what
• 4:31:44
  Speaker 1: I was doing in broadcasting. And I said, we'll kind
• 4:31:47
  Speaker 1: of hold a spot for you for a period of
• 4:31:49
  Speaker 1: time and you go see if you like it. And
• 4:31:51
  Speaker 1: if you don't like it, then come on back. And
• 4:31:54
  Speaker 1: so I.
• 4:31:55
  Speaker 28: Went, so I went up, must've seen something there that
• 4:31:58
  Speaker 28: they really liked.
• 4:31:59
  Speaker 1: So I went up there and I, did that job
• 4:32:01
  Speaker 1: for a while. And, uh, and, uh, I said, I
• 4:32:04
  Speaker 1: don't know if this is for me. It didn't seem
• 4:32:06
  Speaker 1: like it was exciting as broadcasting. So I left that and,
• 4:32:10
  Speaker 1: you know, part on good terms and went back to
• 4:32:11
  Speaker 1: broadcasting and, and, uh, that's how I ultimately ended up
• 4:32:16
  Speaker 1: here because Carolyn, Carolyn, Carolyn pursued, he came here and she,
• 4:32:22
  Speaker 1: paved the way for me to come here. So women
• 4:32:25
  Speaker 1: have always done an important thing. You know, there's many
• 4:32:29
  Speaker 1: people I thank for what they've done in my life
• 4:32:32
  Speaker 1: to make it, make magic happen. You should always thank
• 4:32:37
  Speaker 1: those people. You know, I always would thank Pete Gabriel,

• 4:32:45
  Speaker 1: you know. All right. Are you done? I think I
• 4:32:50
  Speaker 1: lost it.
• 4:32:50
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 4:32:51
  Speaker 1: But anyway, that's enough of that. Enough of reflecting. So

• 4:33:19
  Speaker 2: From ABC News, I'm Michelle Franzen.
• 4:33:21
  Speaker 5: The U.S.
• 4:33:22
  Speaker 2: Military launched more strikes in Iran. President Trump ordering another round,
• 4:33:26
  Speaker 2: he says, after Iran shot its ships yesterday in the
• 4:33:28
  Speaker 2: Strait of Hormuz. President Trump says the memo of understanding
• 4:33:32
  Speaker 2: is now over. ABC's Selena Wang has more.
• 4:33:34
  Speaker 35: When it comes to Iran, the president has been sending
• 4:33:37
  Speaker 35: a lot of mixed messaging on this as well. The
• 4:33:39
  Speaker 35: president had just weeks ago called the Iranian people he
• 4:33:42
  Speaker 35: was negotiating with strong, rational, now calling them scum, sick people.
• 4:33:48
  Speaker 35: The president is saying what changed is that he got
• 4:33:50
  Speaker 35: to know them.
• 4:33:51
  Speaker 2: Iranian state media reporting strikes along Iran's southern coastal port
• 4:33:55
  Speaker 2: town of Chabahar, including a pier hit and police station
• 4:33:58

• 4:34:02
  Speaker 2: Zelensky in Turkey along the NATO sidelines about the war
• 4:34:05
  Speaker 2: in Russia, making a commitment, he says, to help Ukraine

• 4:34:13
  Speaker 2: Immigrant rights groups are demanding an independent investigation after Tuesday's
• 4:34:18
  Speaker 2: fatal shooting of a Mexican national in Houston. ICE agents
• 4:34:22
  Speaker 2: are calling the shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Arujo self-defense. Here's
• 4:34:26
  Speaker 2: ABC's John Quinones.
• 4:34:28
  Speaker 40: ICE claims the man was evading arrest and that his
• 4:34:32
  Speaker 40: car ran into another ICE vehicle. Araujo's family, though, says
• 4:34:37
  Speaker 40: he was simply on his way to work. He was
• 4:34:38
  Speaker 40: a construction worker. He was on his way to pick
• 4:34:41
  Speaker 40: up some workers. And that he had spent decades in
• 4:34:44
  Speaker 40: this country pursuing the American dream for his three children.
• 4:34:49
  Speaker 6: Sons.
• 4:34:49
  Speaker 10: Some of them went to college.
• 4:34:51
  Speaker 16: They're American-born sons.
• 4:34:52

  Speaker 2: Senate race following new accusations of sexual assault.
• 4:35:00
  Speaker 31: Eighteen Democratic senators have called for him to drop out,
• 4:35:03

• 4:35:07
  Speaker 31: Elizabeth Warren, who campaigned alongside Graham Plattner in the spring.
• 4:35:12
  Speaker 31: and Bernie Sanders, who is perhaps Platner's biggest supporter.

  Speaker 2: He's already lost at the Supreme Court, which turned away
• 4:36:22
  Speaker 2: his appeal last week. President Trump, though, still hoping the
• 4:36:24
  Speaker 2: courts will step in to prevent him from having to
• 4:36:27
  Speaker 2: pay $ 5 million in damages to a woman who claims
• 4:36:30
  Speaker 2: he sexually abused her decades ago and then later defamed her.
• 4:36:34
  Speaker 2: ABC's Stephen Portnoy has the latest.
• 4:36:36
  Speaker 41: A federal jury in 2023 found the president liable for
• 4:36:40
  Speaker 41: sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll and defaming her. Last week,
• 4:36:44
  Speaker 41: the nation's highest court declined to hear Trump's appeal in
• 4:36:46
  Speaker 41: the case. And a federal judge has now ordered a
• 4:36:49
  Speaker 41: $ 5 million award plus interest to be released to Carroll.
• 4:36:52
  Speaker 41: But Trump has filed another appeal challenging that.
• 4:36:56
  Speaker 2: In Texas, a bizarre situation in Harris County involving a
• 4:36:59
  Speaker 2: child who was inside a home and apparently injured by lightning.
• 4:37:03
  Speaker 42: It's always been kind of understood that if you're inside
• 4:37:05
  Speaker 42: of your home, you're safe from lightning because a home
• 4:37:08
  Speaker 42: is grounded. But an investigation is underway after a child
• 4:37:11
  Speaker 42: was injured in his family's home in Harris County, Texas.
• 4:37:14
  Speaker 42: The home, deputies say, was hit by lightning and an
• 4:37:17
  Speaker 42: electrical current went surging through the home's wiring and electrocuted
• 4:37:20
  Speaker 42: the homeowner's son who was using a computer inside the home.
• 4:37:24
  Speaker 42: They say the child was evaluated by EMS. His condition
• 4:37:28
  Speaker 42: is not known. Alex Stone, EBC News.
• 4:37:31
  Speaker 2: A 70-year-old California man recovering after being found alive six
