Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: All right.
- 0:04Speaker 2: So reflecting with Ted, the conservative, but he takes me back. Listen,
- 0:09Speaker 2: most of my life or a lot of my life,
- 0:11Speaker 2: I've always been voting for the lesser of two evils.
- 0:15Speaker 2: In most cases. I mean, I enthusiastically voted for Ross Perot.
- 0:18Speaker 2: I enthusiastically voted for Donald Trump. I mean, there's times
- 0:23Speaker 2: that there's always been those shining lights. Reagan would fall
- 0:26Speaker 2: into those categories. But I always thought, for the most part,
- 0:29Speaker 2: whether it was Democrats or Republicans, most presidents were globalists
- 0:33Speaker 2: and really out of touch with Joe Bagadona. It didn't
- 0:36Speaker 2: matter to me. And frankly, I thought most people in
- 0:40Speaker 2: Congress and senators fell into that category. category as well
- 0:44Speaker 2: most people have been disappointments they weren't public servants or
- 0:47Speaker 2: they were in it for themselves or whatever purpose and
- 0:50Speaker 2: unfortunately that i think is a large part of of
- 0:54Speaker 2: what you see today from a lot of people but
- 0:57Speaker 2: but not all you know not not not all but
- 1:00Speaker 2: uh the democrat party has just gotten more bizarre as
- 1:05Speaker 2: time has gone on i mean the republican party has
- 1:07Speaker 2: changed like i say to ted all the time it
- 1:09Speaker 2: was the party of the country club elites And it
- 1:11Speaker 2: became more the party of America first. Trump changed the
- 1:13Speaker 2: Republican Party. And a lot of Republicans weren't happy about it.
- 1:17Speaker 2: And the leftist Democrats changed the Democrat Party from what
- 1:21Speaker 2: it used to be during my father's time to what
- 1:24Speaker 2: it is today, which is a party of eyeballs and
- 1:26Speaker 2: misfits and socialists and the big tent of weirdos, if
- 1:32Speaker 2: you will. So, you know, it's... I don't know what
- 1:36Speaker 2: to say. I mean, when I was reading that stuff
- 1:38Speaker 2: about Amy Acton, that's troubling to me.
- 1:40Speaker 3: Yeah, and I told you that was going to be
- 1:44Speaker 3: a tough one when we saw it play out. I
- 1:46Speaker 3: told you I thought Trestle would have been the best
- 1:48Speaker 3: guy for that position, and he would have won. He
- 1:51Speaker 3: would have won by 20 points. But, you know, something
- 1:54Speaker 3: else I made an observation of when it comes to
- 1:56Speaker 3: Trump with guys like Emanuel or Mini-Me or Chappelle, whatever
- 2:01Speaker 3: you want to call them, They dislike, and J.J. used
- 2:04Speaker 3: to be like this until he went to the doctor,
- 2:05Speaker 3: and now he's J.J. the Trumpster. But they dislike the
- 2:09Speaker 3: person so much. And they have many reasons, there's many
- 2:13Speaker 3: reasons to not like Donald Trump. They dislike him so
- 2:16Speaker 3: much that they just can't get past that to see
- 2:18Speaker 3: anything good he does. But I don't need to repeat
- 2:21Speaker 3: what you said. I mean, it's night and day when
- 2:24Speaker 3: you compare what Donald Trump has done for the country
- 2:27Speaker 3: compared to Joe Biden. But there's something else I've got
- 2:29Speaker 3: to say, because before we hang up, The guy that
- 2:33Speaker 3: you called the smart caller a few calls ago, we
- 2:37Speaker 3: can't call him the smart caller. We can call him
- 2:39Speaker 3: the finance guy or the director of finance or whatever
- 2:42Speaker 3: you want to call him. But when someone refers to
- 2:45Speaker 3: Dennis Kucinich as a moderate, they're not smart. They're a
- 2:50Speaker 3: financial genius, but politically they're lacking knowledge. Dennis Kucinich, when
- 2:56Speaker 3: he was in office, was labeled as one of the
- 2:59Speaker 3: most liberal, progressive Democrats there was. And I think he's listening.
- 3:07Speaker 2: To my conspiracy theory. No, because if you go by
- 3:12Speaker 2: the standard then to the standard now, he would be
- 3:14Speaker 2: considered a moderate in a Democrat party.
- 3:17Speaker 3: He was progressive when we didn't have AOC.
- 3:22Speaker 2: He was more of a normal progressive as opposed to
- 3:25Speaker 2: the wacky ones today. You've got to keep in mind.
- 3:28Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 3:29Speaker 3: He championed a single-payer universal health care. He's a big
- 3:33Speaker 3: EPA guy. I can go on and on and on.
- 3:37Speaker 3: I don't want to waste your time. But he was
- 3:40Speaker 3: an AOC before AOC. So we've got to be clear
- 3:43Speaker 3: on that.
- 3:43Speaker 2: He is not a moderate. Not to that level, but...
- 3:47Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. He's an old guy and he's not running,
- 3:49Speaker 2: as I said to him. So it really doesn't matter what's...
- 3:52Speaker 2: As I said to him, as I would say to you,
- 3:55Speaker 2: you have two choices, Amy Acton or Vivek. You make
- 3:59Speaker 2: the decision because Amy Acton is just more– she's going
- 4:03Speaker 2: to be a liberal tilt. You'll see more taxes, more
- 4:06Speaker 2: government taken from you and handed out to this person
- 4:10Speaker 2: and more of the far-left policies that don't work in
- 4:13Speaker 2: any state. Now, why would you want that here in
- 4:16Speaker 2: this state? Not that DeWine hasn't been a disappointment. And
- 4:19Speaker 2: Republicans have had some disappointing things. But if it wasn't
- 4:22Speaker 2: for the Republicans, whether that's Dave Thomas really spearheading it
- 4:30Speaker 2: and our local Republicans, Tex Fisher and those folks supporting it,
- 4:34Speaker 2: you wouldn't have the cap on the increase on your
- 4:38Speaker 2: property taxes at the cost of inflation. If it wasn't
- 4:41Speaker 2: for the Republicans, that wouldn't exist. You would be looking at...
- 4:46Speaker 2: eight twenty to thirty percent increase in your property taxes
- 4:49Speaker 2: again it's the republicans that change that for it to
- 4:54Speaker 2: get more money in your pocket that's the difference of.
- 4:57Speaker 3: The democrats and we would like you know at the
- 4:59Speaker 3: local level we could bring it down to mcnally i
- 5:01Speaker 3: mean she's not in favor of giving you any cash
- 5:04Speaker 3: relief she wants more of your money and we can
- 5:07Speaker 3: go from her right to the state level whether it's
- 5:10Speaker 3: amy acton or the democrats trying to take over some
- 5:14Speaker 3: seats in in the House and in Columbus, they want
- 5:18Speaker 3: more of your money. I believe one of your guys
- 5:20Speaker 3: that calls in, I forget his name, I'm tongue-tied right now,
- 5:23Speaker 3: but he talked about Amy Atkins' budget a few weeks ago,
- 5:26Speaker 3: and she will blow the budget out of the current budget.
- 5:29Speaker 3: She would exceed that by an astronomical amount of money
- 5:34Speaker 3: if her spending plans are so big. They want more
- 5:38Speaker 3: of your tax dollars. So it's gotten to the point
- 5:40Speaker 3: of an ideology where we used to be, and it
- 5:42Speaker 3: used to be an ideology how you couldn't vote for
- 5:45Speaker 3: a Democrat. Now you can compound that with their attitude
- 5:50Speaker 3: on your money. So they think they best know how
- 5:53Speaker 3: to spend your money, and their political ideology is just
- 5:57Speaker 3: off the charts. I don't understand how anyone can vote
- 6:00Speaker 3: for a Democrat.
- 6:01Speaker 4: I really don't.
- 6:02Speaker 3: I mean, it's scary. When you think about the moral issues,
- 6:06Speaker 3: the political issues, the tax issues, and then they compare
- 6:10Speaker 3: that to the– it's not even a comparison. I just
- 6:13Speaker 3: don't understand it. There's a mental block somewhere. And maybe
- 6:18Speaker 3: it's just because they just dislike Trump so much they're
- 6:20Speaker 3: willing to accept that stuff.
- 6:22Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 6:22Speaker 3: But I know I will never vote for Democrats. And
- 6:25Speaker 3: I agree with you last week. Yeah, there might be
- 6:27Speaker 3: a good one here and there locally, but I'll never
- 6:30Speaker 3: vote for him. I don't care.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
- 6:32Speaker 3: Because I know that person's voting for Joe Biden or
- 6:35Speaker 3: Kamala Harris or Dennis Kucinich or Amy Atkins.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Or has that philosophy. Right. I'm with you. I get you.
- 6:41Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 6:42Speaker 2: All right. Thanks, man. Appreciate it. News Radio 570 WKBN.
- 6:45Speaker 2: People who consume greater amounts of a popular artificial sweetener
- 6:49Speaker 2: could face a greater risk of heart attack and stroke,
- 6:52Speaker 2: a new study suggests. The research, which was presented at
- 6:56Speaker 2: the ESC Cardiology Congress in Germany... showed that higher levels
- 7:03Speaker 2: of X, Y, L, I, T, O, L, xylitol, that's
- 7:10Speaker 2: what I would say, xylitol in the blood were associated
- 7:13Speaker 2: with an increased risk of major adverse cardiac, cardiovascular events.
- 7:19Speaker 2: Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that, that is commonly used
- 7:23Speaker 2: as a low-calorie sweetener and sugar substitute, according to the
- 7:27Speaker 2: National Institute of Health. It is often used in higher
- 7:30Speaker 2: amounts to sweeten foods, drinks, chewing gum, and dental care products.
- 7:35Speaker 2: Researchers followed two large study cohorts of more than 17,000
- 7:40Speaker 2: Canadians and British participants. Over a six-year follow-up, people in
- 7:45Speaker 2: Canada with the highest xylitol levels had a 57% higher
- 7:52Speaker 2: risk of death. Pretty substantial difference. Myocardial infraction or stroke
- 8:02Speaker 2: related to cardiovascular events compared to those with lower levels.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Over 30 years participants in the prospective investigation into cancer
- 8:14Speaker 2: Norfolk group with the highest xylitol Xylitol levels had an 18%
- 8:18Speaker 2: greater risk.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Hmm.
- 8:24Speaker 2: So I guess there's something you should avoid. Xylitol, you know,
- 8:30Speaker 2: you don't want to use that as a sugar substitute.
- 8:33Speaker 2: Some bad side effects come from that. You're on the air.
- 8:40Speaker 5: If you notice around Easter, Passover time, These stores, your
- 8:49Speaker 5: Giant Eagle, your Marks, whatever, will have the Throwback Mountain Dew.
- 8:57Speaker 5: Those all have some name like that.
- 9:00Speaker 3: Dr.
- 9:00Speaker 5: Pepper, Pepsi, blah, blah, blah. Because for Passover, they go kosher. Because,
- 9:07Speaker 5: as Ron already knows, because it's probably because of his
- 9:10Speaker 5: lovely and talented wife, High fructose corn syrup ain't good
- 9:14Speaker 5: for you. Any of these artificial things, right? Go kosher,
- 9:19Speaker 5: it's better. I'm not saying you have to be Jewish.
- 9:22Speaker 5: I'm saying it's better for your health. Look, every time
- 9:25Speaker 5: we turn around, it's another thing. It's another thing that's
- 9:28Speaker 5: not good for you. Artificial stuff ain't good for you.
- 9:32Speaker 2: But you're spot on. I mean, my wife, if you
- 9:35Speaker 2: came and told my wife, what do you want, margarine
- 9:38Speaker 2: or butter? I mean, she will always pick the real thing. Butter, sugar,
- 9:44Speaker 2: the real thing versus any of these artificial things, which
- 9:50Speaker 2: too many chemicals. And when it comes to cooking, it just, it's, Well,
- 9:54Speaker 2: it depends if you know how to cook and she does. So,
- 9:56Speaker 2: you know, I can just tell you when it comes
- 9:59Speaker 2: to that stuff, she does. go for it.
- 10:02Speaker 5: Now and it goes across the board and I like
- 10:09Speaker 5: right I'm born and raised still even though we got
- 10:13Speaker 5: a crappy Pope again I'm still Catholic and Okay, but
- 10:18Speaker 5: follow some of their rules because it's better for you.
- 10:24Speaker 5: And even most of the religious edicts have been around
- 10:28Speaker 5: for thousands of years. Oh, we have fish on Friday. Oh,
- 10:31Speaker 5: you crazy people have fish on Friday. And then the
- 10:34Speaker 5: real people that tell you the truth say, well, you
- 10:37Speaker 5: should eat fish at least once a week. Well, wait,
- 10:41Speaker 5: why don't you just put it on Friday and then
- 10:43Speaker 5: that all works out? You get to fulfill your religious
- 10:47Speaker 5: obligation and you're healthier for it, right? It's just all
- 10:51Speaker 5: those things. And then look at the people. Look at
- 10:56Speaker 5: the people. Jerry Seinfeld, are you a fan of the
- 10:58Speaker 5: Seinfeld show?
- 11:00Speaker 2: Who is it?
- 11:01Speaker 5: Yeah. Who isn't, right? You've got Jerry Seinfeld, and then
- 11:06Speaker 5: you've got that goofball, Larry David, who's still funny. It
- 11:10Speaker 5: doesn't matter. The funniest person ever to live, I don't know,
- 11:14Speaker 5: I guess in our lifetimes, maybe not in mine because
- 11:16Speaker 5: I think he's dead already, but Groucho Marx. He's just that.
- 11:21Speaker 5: All the guys from the old-time radio, George Burns, what
- 11:25Speaker 5: was his name, Birnbaum or something, Jack Benny, Benjamin Jackmanovitz,
- 11:30Speaker 5: they were all the Jews. Those people got some stuff
- 11:33Speaker 5: going on. They're the doctors, the lawyers, the scientists, and
- 11:39Speaker 5: the comedians. Harold Ramis in all his movies, Stripes, Animal House,
- 11:44Speaker 5: go down the list. It just keeps coming, and it's
- 11:48Speaker 5: genius from that group of people. I don't know why
- 11:52Speaker 5: we're still against them, but.
- 11:57Speaker 5: Here we are today. I don't know. It seems like
- 12:00Speaker 5: we don't pay attention to things. Like you just read
- 12:03Speaker 5: about the xylitol. Stop it, people. It's not going to work.
- 12:08Speaker 5: Regular sugar isn't your enemy. This man-made stuff is your enemy.
- 12:12Speaker 5: It'll kill you, like Ron's just reading about. How we
- 12:16Speaker 5: can stop the Muslim takeover of America, like Hamtramck, Michigan, Dearborn,
- 12:22Speaker 5: and this is the weirdest one of all, Plano, Texas.
- 12:28Speaker 5: This is the thing we have to worry about. Do
- 12:30Speaker 5: you have any, your daughter got married. Do you have
- 12:33Speaker 5: any grandchildren yet, Ron?
- 12:34Speaker 2: No, I don't.
- 12:36Speaker 5: Okay. I mean, you're old as hell, so I just
- 12:38Speaker 5: figured you probably.
- 12:39Speaker 2: Had a couple.
- 12:40Speaker 5: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Just when I started feeling good about myself, you slapped
- 12:47Speaker 2: me right down.
- 12:49Speaker 5: That's my job around here. That's what I get paid for. But,
- 12:53Speaker 5: you know, people worry about their kids and now worry
- 12:56Speaker 5: about your grandkids. And you're going to have them. You know,
- 12:59Speaker 5: God will bless you with them. It will be great, super.
- 13:01Speaker 5: But what's the place going to look like? I mean,
- 13:05Speaker 5: we have– right now we have whatever, city council meetings
- 13:10Speaker 5: telling the people, hey, you ain't welcome here no more, Whitey.
- 13:13Speaker 5: You ain't welcome here no more, Christian. That's a big threat,
- 13:19Speaker 5: and I don't know, with the Constitution, how we stop it.
- 13:23Speaker 5: We need to get smart people on the front line,
- 13:27Speaker 5: and I have to throw in props to Ted the Conservative,
- 13:35Speaker 5: because he's actually right, because the same person recommended Graham
- 13:42Speaker 5: Plattner and Ro Khanna. Okay, okay, okay, you have to
- 13:47Speaker 5: go over there in that area. Or we just don't
- 13:50Speaker 5: listen to your political advice. Ted was very generous and said, hey,
- 13:53Speaker 5: maybe we'll listen to your financial advice but not your
- 13:56Speaker 5: political advice because you seem to be insane on that.
- 13:59Speaker 5: But we need to round up the people. Get the
- 14:03Speaker 5: people on point and stop this. They have a plan.
- 14:08Speaker 5: Your guys in the morning that you talked about, they
- 14:10Speaker 5: talk about the Red-Green Alliance because it's the Marxist and
- 14:14Speaker 5: the Islamist. You have a lot of people that are
- 14:17Speaker 5: ignoring it and talking about other things, and other things
- 14:21Speaker 5: are fine. But this is a big threat, and it's
- 14:24Speaker 5: a long-term threat. You would have thought we got rid
- 14:27Speaker 5: of all the Marxists, you know, 50 years ago when
- 14:30Speaker 5: we found out, oh, what they were doing and what
- 14:33Speaker 5: they were up to. We would have thought after 9-11
- 14:36Speaker 5: and even before that we would have known what the
- 14:40Speaker 5: Islamists were up to. They want to destroy America and
- 14:44Speaker 5: take it over. Well, they're going to do it fast
- 14:47Speaker 5: on September 11th or they're going to do it slowly
- 14:51Speaker 5: through the ballot box. We have to stop them and
- 14:54Speaker 5: we have to get a plan. This is really serious.
- 15:00Speaker 5: And it's, you know, obviously everybody has to live. Everybody
- 15:04Speaker 5: has to have money and all of that. And that's great.
- 15:06Speaker 5: And pay attention to that. This threat over here is
- 15:12Speaker 5: something else. And I don't know what we're going to
- 15:13Speaker 5: do about it.
- 15:15Speaker 2: All right. So a lot of people are concerned about it,
- 15:18Speaker 2: particularly when you see basically you used to come to
- 15:22Speaker 2: the country and assimilate. And a lot of people feel
- 15:26Speaker 2: that the group you're talking about is coming here thinking
- 15:30Speaker 2: you need to change and assimilate to their views and
- 15:33Speaker 2: Sharia law. And you've got large sections of the country
- 15:41Speaker 2: which seem to be going in that direction. And I
- 15:44Speaker 2: can't explain it to you. You'd have to talk to
- 15:46Speaker 2: all these people who just believe that we should have
- 15:49Speaker 2: borders and let this all happen. I don't agree with it.
- 15:55Speaker 5: And figure out how to not let them take over.
- 15:58Speaker 5: Look at New York City. Hey, we got this guy. Okay,
- 16:03Speaker 5: you got him now. The cat up in Michigan running
- 16:08Speaker 5: for Senate with all his backers. Holy crap. Can you
- 16:12Speaker 5: imagine if Donald Trump, whoever, Ted Cruz, had a backer
- 16:18Speaker 5: like Hassan Piker and the stuff that he says?
- 16:21Speaker 4: No.
- 16:23Speaker 5: America deserved 9-11. Okay, you're going to get this. It's okay.
- 16:27Speaker 5: We're going to take you over. Really? You're saying that
- 16:32Speaker 5: out loud? To a free country?
- 16:34Speaker 2: Yeah, can you believe that? I mean, can you believe
- 16:36Speaker 2: some of the stuff that comes out of the mouth
- 16:38Speaker 2: of some of these Democrat socialists that are running and
- 16:42Speaker 2: say that kind of stuff? It is shocking to me.
- 16:45Speaker 2: And yet, someone's voting for him. Thanks for your call.
- 16:49Speaker 2: Back in a minute. Ron Verb from the Kingdom of

- 17:27Speaker 2: Ron Ferb, you're on the air.
- 17:29Speaker 5: Ronnie.
- 17:31Speaker 2: It's the unknown caller.
- 17:33Speaker 7: No, this is Phil the pharmacist.
- 17:36Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
- 17:36Speaker 3: Let's talk about Tylenol.
- 17:38Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 17:40Speaker 7: Hey, you got to love Jake's call, right?
- 17:44Speaker 2: It's always unique. Yeah.
- 17:47Speaker 9: Yeah, I like the fact that, you know, after years
- 17:49Speaker 9: and years of you people, of you calling older folks
- 17:54Speaker 9: like old bags and stuff, now he's calling you old as,
- 17:58Speaker 9: you know, That's kind of funny.
- 18:01Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, it's a riot, isn't it?
- 18:03Speaker 3: Okay, so, Emmanuel, okay?
- 18:08Speaker 7: First of all, do you pay him to, you know,
- 18:11Speaker 7: bring up names of callers to increase the volume of
- 18:15Speaker 7: calls that you get on your show?
- 18:18Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. That's my strategery, yeah.
- 18:21Speaker 7: I figured. Hey, I hope he's listening because he made
- 18:27Speaker 7: my wife's day. She laughed her, you know, what off
- 18:34Speaker 7: because he put me on the intelligent list. So, and
- 18:41Speaker 7: then right after that, right after she got done laughing,
- 18:44Speaker 7: she goes, that just proves right there he doesn't know
- 18:46Speaker 7: what he's talking about.
- 18:49Speaker 2: You know what? I think that's an excellent point your
- 18:52Speaker 2: wife made. I think it's a very good point.
- 18:56Speaker 7: But, I mean, come on, Emmanuel, you know, You know,
- 19:01Speaker 7: what is a Democrat today? They're Democrat socialists. You know,
- 19:06Speaker 7: I think that cops are a good thing to have around.
- 19:09Speaker 7: I think that, you know, a border is a good
- 19:12Speaker 7: thing to have, or you don't have a country. If
- 19:15Speaker 7: he doesn't think that borders are good, then, you know,
- 19:18Speaker 7: I'll come take the locks off of his doors for free.
- 19:21Speaker 7: I don't want men in my granddaughter's locker room. You know,
- 19:28Speaker 7: why are people fleeing California? Because of the stupid Democrat
- 19:33Speaker 7: policies that are just, ah, it just drives me stupid.
- 19:39Speaker 7: And Trump, what, you don't think that NATO should pay
- 19:43Speaker 7: their fair share?
- 19:44Speaker 5: I mean, come on.
- 19:47Speaker 3: How about, I just heard on the radio.
- 19:51Speaker 7: That J.D. Vance is saying, hey, maybe we should have
- 19:55Speaker 7: truck drivers that speak English and can read signs.
- 20:01Speaker 3: What do you think about all this, Ronnie?
- 20:03Speaker 2: Well, you may think how controversial that is. Truck drivers
- 20:07Speaker 2: that can actually speak English and read the signs on
- 20:09Speaker 2: our highways. What about all these states that seem to
- 20:16Speaker 2: be the liberal states where these truck drivers are getting
- 20:19Speaker 2: these CDLs without the ability to do any of that?
- 20:23Speaker 2: I mean, and Trump is changing that and it should
- 20:27Speaker 2: be changed. How can you get behind a wheel of something? Well,
- 20:32Speaker 2: we've seen the accidents and not know how to read
- 20:35Speaker 2: the signs to speak English. That is to me, that's
- 20:39Speaker 2: just frightening that that's even even happening. And Democrats support it.
- 20:45Speaker 7: I think it was on your report.
- 20:47Speaker 2: And I don't know. Go one step further. For the
- 20:50Speaker 2: life of me, I don't know why any of these
- 20:51Speaker 2: companies hire those folks to drive. Think of the liability
- 20:55Speaker 2: you're presenting to yourself. Oh, it's just hard to get
- 20:57Speaker 2: American truck drivers or hard to get people to do
- 21:00Speaker 2: this kind of stuff.
- 21:01Speaker 9: Really?
- 21:01Speaker 2: Well, you want to take that kind of liability with
- 21:04Speaker 2: your equipment and your truck to say, okay, this person
- 21:07Speaker 2: who can't read a sign that says bridge closed or
- 21:10Speaker 2: whatever the case is or can't speak English is the answer?
- 21:14Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 21:16Speaker 3: Right.
- 21:16Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 21:17Speaker 7: Vance, he might have been speaking in Michigan, maybe. And
- 21:22Speaker 7: I think on the report it said they're shutting down
- 21:25Speaker 7: 200 drivers' classes or something because they don't meet the
- 21:32Speaker 7: criteria to put honest, qualified truck drivers on the road.
- 21:39Speaker 2: Right.
- 21:39Speaker 5: 200. 200.
- 21:40Speaker 7: So how many are out there? Every time I go,
- 21:42Speaker 7: you know, I always try to give the trucks the
- 21:44Speaker 7: leeway on the highway.
- 21:46Speaker 2: I do, too. I 100% am in agreement with you.
- 21:49Speaker 2: I mean, a truck driver's got a lot of pressure
- 21:53Speaker 2: and responsibility on that truck. And cut them a break
- 21:56Speaker 2: and let them cut over and that kind of stuff.
- 21:58Speaker 2: But get off their ass. I mean, it's– how do
- 22:02Speaker 2: you think we get everything? And how does things get
- 22:06Speaker 2: from point A to point B and– I'm with you 100%.
- 22:10Speaker 2: I mean, stay out of their blind spots. And when
- 22:13Speaker 2: they're getting over, give them the latitude to get over
- 22:15Speaker 2: and give them some space and treat them with some respect.
- 22:20Speaker 7: Absolutely. Hey, you were talking about Social Security earlier, too. And,
- 22:27Speaker 7: you know, the whole Medicare thing and all that.
- 22:29Speaker 2: Yes.
- 22:30Speaker 7: And then you go to Obamacare, which... It's amazing. They
- 22:35Speaker 7: don't call it Obamacare anymore because it ain't working. Now
- 22:38Speaker 7: it's back to the original Affordable Care Act.
- 22:41Speaker 2: Well, and it's not that at all. It's not the
- 22:43Speaker 2: Affordable Care Act because it's not affordable.
- 22:46Speaker 8: Right, right.
- 22:47Speaker 7: How convenient is that that they change the name? You know,
- 22:49Speaker 7: nobody talks about it. Remember, it was like, ooh, Obamacare, Obamacare, Obamacare.
- 22:54Speaker 7: But nobody talks about it anymore.
- 22:56Speaker 2: Well, it'll always be Obamacare to me.
- 23:00Speaker 7: All right.
- 23:02Speaker 2: Hey, Ronnie.
- 23:02Speaker 5: What? I got to go.
- 23:05Speaker 2: I know. Why does he always have to go? And
- 23:08Speaker 2: where is he going? He always says that to me
- 23:11Speaker 2: at the end. Hey, I got to go. But where
- 23:13Speaker 2: do you have to go? What's so important that you
- 23:16Speaker 2: have to go? Oh, by the way, I got to go, too,
- 23:18Speaker 2: because the headlines are here. And then I'll be back
- 23:21Speaker 2: with more. Ron Furb from the Kingdom of Mahoning, NewsRadio

- 23:32Speaker 10: Months after the sudden resignation of former Ohio State University
- 23:35Speaker 10: President Ted Carter, he's now breaking his silence, denying allegations
- 23:39Speaker 10: that he improperly used his position to benefit a woman
- 23:42Speaker 10: he was romantically involved with. Carter's being sued by the
- 23:45Speaker 10: founder of Vet Mentor AI, who accuses Carter, the woman,
- 23:49Speaker 10: her company, and Jobs Ohio of defamation and interfering with
- 23:52Speaker 10: his business. A court of claims conference is scheduled for
- 23:55Speaker 10: September 14th. More than a million dollars in grant money
- 23:59Speaker 10: is going to communities throughout the state to help the
- 24:01Speaker 10: issue of illegal dumping sites. It's the second round of
- 24:04Speaker 10: funding through the state's Shine a Light on Dumpers initiative.
- 24:08Speaker 10: Awards meant to help cover the cost of cleaning up
- 24:10Speaker 10: illegal dump sites and preventing future unlawful dumping. The three
- 24:14Speaker 10: major C's, Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati, and their surrounding counties
- 24:17Speaker 10: will get the funding.

- 24:36Speaker 2: Welcome. It's 436 here. It's 86 degrees. Welcome to a
- 24:41Speaker 2: Monday afternoon. Last day of August. Can't feel fair week.
- 24:44Speaker 2: We're on Verb. NewsRadio 570. WKBN. Looking forward to the fair.
- 24:47Speaker 2: Hope you are as well. You're on the air.
- 24:51Speaker 4: I'm not paranoid and concerned that the Muslims are going
- 24:56Speaker 4: to take over the country. Israel and the Zionists control Washington,
- 25:03Speaker 4: and there are endless wars on behalf of Israel. That is,
- 25:07Speaker 4: bankrupting the country is what we should be concerned about.
- 25:12Speaker 4: And the U.S. military is now a vassal of the IDF,
- 25:16Speaker 4: not Hamas. And according to the government, Ron, Inflation is
- 25:21Speaker 4: now between 68%, but one economist says it is higher
- 25:26Speaker 4: for daily necessities, such as food and gas. And she
- 25:31Speaker 4: says the higher prices are here to stay. And if
- 25:35Speaker 4: inflation continues to accelerate, this will wipe out the savings
- 25:40Speaker 4: for most Americans. Now, I believe the national average for
- 25:44Speaker 4: gas was $ 1. 87 a gallon less than six years ago.
- 25:51Speaker 4: If you're paying $ 4. 35 in Ohio, that's a lot more
- 25:52Speaker 4: than $ 0. 75 more. I see it all over the place.
- 25:55Speaker 4: Just as a side note, sometimes I see it around $ 3.
- 25:57Speaker 5: 75, $ 3.
- 25:58Speaker 2: 80, $ 3.
- 25:58Speaker 4: 99.
- 25:58Speaker 2: A lot of times it's $ 4 or less now. It
- 26:00Speaker 2: fluctuates constantly. But it's higher than it was last time
- 26:16Speaker 2: it was down. Trump had it down to $ 2. 50 a
- 26:18Speaker 2: gallon before the war. And at least here in Ohio,
- 26:21Speaker 2: you know, when I'm talking about fuel prices, I'm not
- 26:23Speaker 2: talking California. It depends where you are located. But it
- 26:27Speaker 2: was about $ 2. 50 a gallon here in Ohio. And now
- 26:30Speaker 2: it's about $ 4 a gallon. So you do the math.
- 26:35Speaker 3: $ 1.
- 26:35Speaker 2: 50 more a gallon. Adds up fast.
- 26:37Speaker 4: Well, that's still a lot more than $ 0. 75 more for
- 26:40Speaker 4: gas that Rich, the promise says he doesn't mind paying.
- 26:46Speaker 4: And he says that adjusted for inflation, that these prices
- 26:50Speaker 4: aren't that bad. One, the mobile gas station down the
- 26:53Speaker 4: street from me is $ 4.
- 26:55Speaker 7: 75.
- 26:55Speaker 4: Well, what are you buying?
- 26:58Speaker 2: I mean, what are you buying, jet fuel? I mean,
- 27:01Speaker 2: I got a daughter in Florida, and their gas prices
- 27:03Speaker 2: are the same, if not less than mine. I mean,
- 27:06Speaker 2: for regular unleaded.
- 27:10Speaker 4: Yeah, but when the snowbirds come down, Late October, November,
- 27:15Speaker 4: gas prices always go up. They're cheating now at $ 4. 75.
- 27:19Speaker 2: Like, for example, somebody sent me $ 3. 63 in Columbiana. So
- 27:26Speaker 2: I'm not saying we don't have an oil issue or a—
- 27:30Speaker 2: I was just reading when you were talking here. President
- 27:32Speaker 2: Trump will meet Tuesday with U.S. refiners and fuel distributors
- 27:37Speaker 2: as his administration looks for ways to expand domestic refining
- 27:41Speaker 2: capacity and bring down gasoline prices. The meeting will include
- 27:45Speaker 2: Interior Secretary Doug Bergen, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, National Energy
- 27:50Speaker 2: Dominance Council Executive Director Agin, and representatives from small, medium,
- 27:56Speaker 2: and large refineries and distributors, the officials say. President Trump
- 28:01Speaker 2: is laser-focused on ensuring his successful energy dominance agenda translates
- 28:06Speaker 2: into most cost savings as possible at the pump for consumers.
- 28:10Speaker 2: Rogers said Trump will discuss ways to increase refining capacity.
- 28:14Speaker 2: I'll be curious about that because I thought we were
- 28:17Speaker 2: at pretty much capacity. Expand energy production across the supply
- 28:21Speaker 2: chain and lower prices for consumers. I thought we were
- 28:27Speaker 2: at folks capacity with with our refining ability. The problem
- 28:31Speaker 2: is we don't have enough refineries. The Bush comes as affordability,
- 28:35Speaker 2: particularly gas prices, looms large over the midterms. Nearly half
- 28:38Speaker 2: of America say the cost of living is their top
- 28:41Speaker 2: voting issue, while 70 percent disapprove of Trump's handling of it,
- 28:44Speaker 2: according to a. Rutgers poll from August. The White House
- 28:48Speaker 2: official said the administration is focused on concrete near-term steps
- 28:54Speaker 2: to adding refining capacity, including as more Venezuela crude flows
- 28:59Speaker 2: to U.S. refiners. Globally refining capacity, let me see this,
- 29:04Speaker 2: globally refinery capacity shortages have helped keep fuel prices elevated
- 29:09Speaker 2: even as crude prices have eased. Valero estimated earlier this
- 29:13Speaker 2: month that the wars in Iran and Ukraine have knocked
- 29:16Speaker 2: about 5 million barrels per day of capacity offline. Exxon
- 29:23Speaker 2: CEO told CNBC's Squawk Box at the end of July
- 29:27Speaker 2: that refinery constraints have created a disconnect between crude and
- 29:31Speaker 2: pump prices, meaning more oil supply may not immediately translate
- 29:35Speaker 2: into cheaper gasoline. Trump on Friday announced a deal with
- 29:38Speaker 2: Venezuela giving the U.S. majority control of more than 65
- 29:42Speaker 2: billion barrels of oil reserves, part of a broader push
- 29:46Speaker 2: to boost supply and lower gas prices. So basically what
- 29:49Speaker 2: they're saying, Frank, is, OK, you can have all this oil,
- 29:54Speaker 2: which is great. We don't have the refining capacity to
- 29:58Speaker 2: bring prices down, and Trump is going to have a
- 30:00Speaker 2: meeting and say, well, what the hell's going on? And
- 30:03Speaker 2: we need more refineries, but no one's building them, and
- 30:06Speaker 2: they take years to build, right?
- 30:08Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 30:09Speaker 4: Well, let me explain to your audience why Rich is
- 30:13Speaker 4: so wrong that after this war is over, everything will
- 30:17Speaker 4: be back to normal. If you hold $ 50, 000 in a
- 30:20Speaker 4: savings account, earning one-half of 1% per year, while inflation
- 30:27Speaker 4: is running between 6% to 8%, you lose $ 3, 250 in
- 30:34Speaker 4: purchasing power every year. Over five years, your safe investment
- 30:40Speaker 4: has lost almost one-third of its purchasing power. And Rich
- 30:46Speaker 4: blames the American people for buying bigger houses and cars
- 30:50Speaker 4: that they can afford, But Ron, banks use metrics such
- 30:56Speaker 4: as debt-to-income ratios to determine how much a prospective homebuyer
- 31:02Speaker 4: can afford in monthly payments. No bank wants a buyer
- 31:07Speaker 4: to default on their mortgage. while they get stuck paying
- 31:10Speaker 4: property taxes.
- 31:13Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but tap the brakes. I have seen where
- 31:17Speaker 2: banks have changed the ratio on the debt-to-income ratio when
- 31:20Speaker 2: it comes to home buying. It used to be 70-30.
- 31:23Speaker 2: I think it's 50-50 now. They've changed that number, and
- 31:26Speaker 2: then not in the best interest of the consumer.
- 31:28Speaker 4: No, I mean, do you want a 50-year mortgage where
- 31:33Speaker 4: You might be 92 years old by the time you
- 31:36Speaker 4: pay it off, or you're even dead.
- 31:38Speaker 2: I don't want a 30-year mortgage, and I made sure
- 31:41Speaker 2: I didn't have a 30-year one, and I don't want
- 31:43Speaker 2: a six-year car loan. That's ridiculous. Yeah.
- 31:47Speaker 4: And, you know, if some Americans do overspend beyond their means,
- 31:51Speaker 4: like Rich says, then they destroy their credit and have
- 31:55Speaker 4: to pay cash and are forced to live within their means. Now,
- 32:00Speaker 4: that's why when I was a financial planner, When inflation accelerated,
- 32:06Speaker 4: I told wealthy clients to buy farmland, fertilizer stocks, you know,
- 32:12Speaker 4: precious metals, even high-end art and expensive wines, for example.
- 32:17Speaker 4: Any asset that retains its value during high inflation. But
- 32:22Speaker 4: conventional financial planning says when you retire, put most of
- 32:27Speaker 4: your money in a mix of safe corporate bond funds
- 32:31Speaker 4: and individual contracts. government bonds or government bond funds. Now,
- 32:36Speaker 4: in today's high inflation environment, Ron, that's a recipe for disaster.
- 32:41Speaker 2: Yeah, bonds aren't doing so good lately either. It used
- 32:45Speaker 2: to be the old philosophy, though, the older you got,
- 32:47Speaker 2: the more you got out of equities because of the
- 32:50Speaker 2: risk involved in the market. And the more you went
- 32:52Speaker 2: to bonds, bonds were viewed kind of as a safer
- 32:56Speaker 2: type investment than equities. But I don't know that you
- 32:59Speaker 2: can say that anymore today. I don't know what the
- 33:02Speaker 2: best option is for when you have this type of inflation.
- 33:05Speaker 2: A lot of people are nervous to be in a
- 33:10Speaker 2: stock market because the market can go down and stay down,
- 33:13Speaker 2: which can greatly affect your retirement. But on the other hand,
- 33:16Speaker 2: if you're not in equities, you don't keep pace with inflation.
- 33:20Speaker 2: And yet bonds are got some issues as well.
- 33:24Speaker 3: So.
- 33:25Speaker 2: It's difficult times. The inflation and the debt of the
- 33:30Speaker 2: country has changed everything, including the ease you should have
- 33:35Speaker 2: in retirement.
- 33:37Speaker 4: Well, almost my entire adult life, I've been advising people
- 33:44Speaker 4: that even when you retire, you should keep 10%, 15%, 20%
- 33:49Speaker 4: of your portfolio in stocks. Because even with low inflation,
- 33:57Speaker 4: the longer you live, the less purchasing power you're going
- 34:01Speaker 4: to have, and it's going to be tough to make
- 34:03Speaker 4: ends meet.
- 34:04Speaker 2: Well, I don't think things are going to– listen, people
- 34:07Speaker 2: aren't going to stop living. I mean, it depends. I mean,
- 34:11Speaker 2: we're always considered what dividend stocks and, if you will,
- 34:15Speaker 2: safer stocks that they would talk about, utilities, necessities, if
- 34:19Speaker 2: you will. Right. They were always considered the safer stocks
- 34:24Speaker 2: because even in a down economy, you still are going
- 34:28Speaker 2: to use electricity and utilities, and you're still going to
- 34:31Speaker 2: buy shampoo and stuff.
- 34:33Speaker 4: Well, people used to ask me, they'd say, Frank, I've
- 34:37Speaker 4: always thought that when I retire, I'm supposed to put
- 34:40Speaker 4: everything into safe investments like government bonds. And I said, yeah,
- 34:46Speaker 4: but the problem is you don't know how long you're
- 34:49Speaker 4: going to live. you still need a growth component to
- 34:54Speaker 4: your portfolio.
- 34:55Speaker 2: Right. Particularly with how inflation is now. I mean, particularly with, well,
- 35:01Speaker 2: I've said it many times, I'd say it to you.
- 35:03Speaker 2: In general, everyone's become poor. I don't care if you're
- 35:07Speaker 2: retired or you're working, but your savings, I can't think
- 35:14Speaker 2: of too many scenarios where the average person has not
- 35:16Speaker 2: become poor with the high rate of inflation. I don't
- 35:19Speaker 2: know anybody's income that's kept pace with it, or any
- 35:22Speaker 2: employer that's given raises anywhere close to what real inflation
- 35:26Speaker 2: is at all. At all.
- 35:28Speaker 4: Well, you know, as far as prices going back to
- 35:34Speaker 4: normal after this war is over, let me give you
- 35:38Speaker 4: an example for container shipping. Now, container shipping operates through
- 35:44Speaker 4: an oligopoly of nine carriers that They control 85% of
- 35:50Speaker 4: global capacity. And these companies discovered that during the pandemic,
- 35:56Speaker 4: that reducing sailings maintains pricing power more effectively than competing
- 36:03Speaker 4: for volume. A standard container that cost $ 3, 500 to ship
- 36:08Speaker 4: from Shanghai to Los Angeles in 2019 is now cost $ 11, 000,
- 36:16Speaker 4: and those costs are passed directly to consumers as permanent
- 36:23Speaker 4: price increases. What I'm seeing everywhere, we're not going to
- 36:27Speaker 4: see prices go down back to normal after this war ends.
- 36:34Speaker 4: We're at permanently high prices, and they're going to stay there.
- 36:38Speaker 2: I don't know. I think you can see energy prices
- 36:42Speaker 2: go down. I mean, I do think you can see
- 36:44Speaker 2: gasoline go down. We are an oil-based economy. And if
- 36:48Speaker 2: you get the cost of diesel down, you get the
- 36:50Speaker 2: cost of jet fuel down, you get the cost of
- 36:53Speaker 2: fuel for these ships down, then that should ease some
- 36:56Speaker 2: of the cost for all of that stuff. I mean,
- 36:59Speaker 2: I don't necessarily agree with that. You take a look.
- 37:02Speaker 2: You live in Florida, the Florida housing market. The prices
- 37:06Speaker 2: have declined in Florida off their peaks to where you
- 37:10Speaker 2: got some markets that are substantially reduced prices. as far
- 37:13Speaker 2: as home prices in Florida and other parts of the
- 37:16Speaker 2: country as well. So you do see prices fluctuate. I mean,
- 37:21Speaker 2: eggs are down in cost. So prices do go down.
- 37:26Speaker 2: There is still a marketplace. There still is competition. And
- 37:30Speaker 2: if you put something on a market, nobody can afford
- 37:32Speaker 2: to buy it. Well, you have a tendency to lower
- 37:35Speaker 2: the price till somebody does because you want to sell
- 37:37Speaker 2: your house or your parents died and you want to
- 37:40Speaker 2: sell it, whatever the case might be. I mean, You know,
- 37:43Speaker 2: that's how the economy works.
- 37:46Speaker 4: Well, let me give you another example. A modern vehicle
- 37:50Speaker 4: contains between 1,500 to 3,000 semiconductors controlling everything from power
- 37:57Speaker 4: windows to anti-lock brakes to engine management. Now, when chip
- 38:03Speaker 4: shortages idled automotive plants in 2021 and 22, the used
- 38:07Speaker 4: car market exploded. into a speculative bubble where vehicles appreciated. Normally,
- 38:17Speaker 4: used cars depreciate in price, right?
- 38:20Speaker 2: Some people actually got more for their vehicle than they
- 38:23Speaker 2: paid for it because of the used car market. But
- 38:25Speaker 2: that was then, and this is now used.
- 38:28Speaker 4: And remember how rental car companies, which had sold off
- 38:32Speaker 4: fleets during the pandemic to generate cash, found that they
- 38:37Speaker 4: could not replace them, leading to $ 400 daily expenses rental
- 38:42Speaker 4: rates and travelers stranded at airports, we're not going to
- 38:47Speaker 4: see rental prices for cars coming down anytime.
- 38:51Speaker 8: Soon, if ever.
- 38:51Speaker 2: We'll see. All right, Frank, thanks. I mean, I have
- 38:54Speaker 2: faith in the marketplace. I mean, I do think prices
- 38:57Speaker 2: can come down. And they do. And I've been through
- 39:02Speaker 2: inflation before, and prices can come down because if you
- 39:08Speaker 2: Things hold their value. I mean, it's trucks are holding
- 39:12Speaker 2: their value. But philosophies have changed. I mean, he actually
- 39:18Speaker 2: makes a legitimate point because the whole car model has
- 39:22Speaker 2: changed tremendously for how many vehicles are being produced and
- 39:27Speaker 2: how many are on a dealer's lot and the rebates.
- 39:30Speaker 2: The good old days, which were what, 2017, 2018, 2019.
- 39:33Speaker 2: A lot of that's gone. They're doing things differently as
- 39:39Speaker 2: far as General Motors and the car companies are doing.
- 39:43Speaker 2: Remember when there would be a ton of vehicles on
- 39:46Speaker 2: the lot and then they would employee pricing everybody and
- 39:49Speaker 2: there'd be rebates and everything and you could really get
- 39:52Speaker 2: a good deal on a vehicle? Doesn't seem like that's
- 39:55Speaker 2: there too much anymore. And I do remember when they
- 39:58Speaker 2: sold off, like the leasing company sold off all their vehicles.
- 40:04Speaker 2: And then when it came time to get back in
- 40:06Speaker 2: the game, they were buying used cars and that helped
- 40:09Speaker 2: escalate the price of used vehicles because that's all they
- 40:12Speaker 2: could get. Because they couldn't make, it was just a
- 40:16Speaker 2: shortage of new cars. And then, of course, you had
- 40:19Speaker 2: General Motors do away with the cruise, which supplied a
- 40:22Speaker 2: lot of cars to the rental companies. Markets go up,
- 40:26Speaker 2: they can come down. We see it with housing. I
- 40:29Speaker 2: Heart Radio.
- 40:30Speaker 1: You're 170 WKBN.
- 40:33Speaker 2: Ron Verb with you till 6 o'clock tonight. Then the
- 40:36Speaker 2: Rockport's Wealth Truth in Investing program, 6 to 7. Joe Kovach,
- 40:41Speaker 2: Adam Stollinger, we'll take a look at what's happened in
- 40:44Speaker 2: the past in the markets and what's ahead. So you're
- 40:48Speaker 2: on the air.
- 40:48Speaker 1: Mr.
- 40:50Speaker 8: Birx, blaming the Democrats is getting old. In fact, it's boring,
- 40:55Speaker 8: very boring. I can't take it anymore.
- 40:59Speaker 2: Well, I'm just dealing with it. Then to quote Jack Nicholson,
- 41:04Speaker 2: you can't handle the truth.
- 41:06Speaker 7: No.
- 41:07Speaker 5: Yes.
- 41:08Speaker 8: But you've got to remember what Tom Cruise just said
- 41:11Speaker 8: just before that. What did he say?
- 41:14Speaker 2: What did he say?
- 41:15Speaker 8: Well, you know what he said.
- 41:17Speaker 2: I don't know what he said.
- 41:18Speaker 8: Emphatically, what did Tom Cruise say just before he said that?
- 41:21Speaker 2: I'm telling you, you need people like me on that wall.
- 41:27Speaker 8: There's so many things that I want to talk about.
- 41:30Speaker 5: I was out.
- 41:30Speaker 8: Working in the yard.
- 41:31Speaker 2: You can't handle the truth.
- 41:33Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 41:34Speaker 8: I can't do this anymore. I just can't do it
- 41:37Speaker 8: because it is getting so ridiculous.
- 41:42Speaker 2: Now, why is it ridiculous?
- 41:44Speaker 8: Please listen to that guy that's calling you from Florida.
- 41:47Speaker 8: The man knows what he's talking about. Those containers that
- 41:51Speaker 8: came over here in 2019 at $ 3, 500, now they're $ 1, 100,
- 41:53Speaker 8: I mean $ 11, 000.
- 41:54Speaker 3: Come on.
- 41:54Speaker 8: These prices are not going to come down.
- 42:03Speaker 7: Ever.
- 42:05Speaker 2: So you don't think... So if I said to you.
- 42:09Speaker 2: If we have a discussion, and I want you to
- 42:12Speaker 2: stick around because you and I will have a discussion.
- 42:14Speaker 2: So if they don't come down, when I'm looking at
- 42:17Speaker 2: the housing market, and I take one of the hottest
- 42:19Speaker 2: housing markets around Florida, prices are coming down in Florida
- 42:23Speaker 2: and in other parts of the country.
- 42:24Speaker 8: Let's not talk Florida. I want to talk Ohio.
- 42:28Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk Ohio. Housing prices are coming down in
- 42:33Speaker 2: many markets.
- 42:34Speaker 8: That is a complete... I can't believe you're saying that.
- 42:39Speaker 2: I am saying that.
- 42:40Speaker 5: I can't believe it.
- 42:41Speaker 8: I can't believe it.
- 42:41Speaker 2: Well, believe it. For example, when people.
- 42:44Speaker 8: I'm not going to believe it.
- 42:45Speaker 2: Okay, you don't need to believe it. But instead of
- 42:48Speaker 2: it being a buyer's market, it's a seller's market right now.
- 42:53Speaker 2: In other words, the days of a lot of people
- 42:55Speaker 2: saying that... Well, you know the difference. So it's more
- 42:58Speaker 2: of a seller's market. So people aren't... Remember, people are
- 43:02Speaker 2: paying over asking price and all this kind of stuff.
- 43:04Speaker 2: I'm sure you'll find examples of that, but it's less
- 43:08Speaker 2: examples of that where people are buying and asking or
- 43:10Speaker 2: below asking and selling their house. You know as well
- 43:14Speaker 2: as I do, prices come down. They have.
- 43:17Speaker 8: They're not going to come down.
- 43:18Speaker 2: Okay, so they're not.
- 43:19Speaker 8: The only way that they're going to come down is
- 43:21Speaker 8: if we have another 1929. That's ridiculous. Stand by.
- 43:27Speaker 2: Stand by, stand by. I'm going to come back to him.
- 43:29Speaker 2: Try to see if he can handle a truth when
- 43:33Speaker 2: I return. Hi there. Hope you're all well. Hey, this
