  Speaker 1: Well, Heidi Ho, welcome to a Tuesday, May 26th, and
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: we actually have a day with some sunshine in my
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: neck of the woods, and it isn't raining. How about that? Boy,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: it has just been so saturated this spring. I don't
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: know where you might be listening to us, but we
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: have just had one wet, wet, wet April and May.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Just raining just a ton in my neck of the woods,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and the ground is so saturated that it's kind of
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: nice to see today. The sun is shining. It's 81 degrees,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and it's not raining. So hopefully, it looks like we're
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: going to have maybe a shower here and there, but
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: it should be for the most part. A drier week,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to say the least, and things can start to dry out,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: which it's about time, right? We're going to be June
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: 1st coming up here in, what's, four, five days before

• 0:51
  Speaker 1: go from May to June.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.

  Speaker 1: because the Guardians are on. Boy, did the Cavaliers get
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: just slammed last night. Oh, my God. It was just
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: painful to watch. I mean, it was absolutely painful to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: watch it all happen. Yeah, we'll be with you until
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: 5.30 tonight. Then the Guardians take to the airwaves. with
• 1:18

• 1:23
  Speaker 3: 330-729-9977.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Feels like a Monday, but it's a Tuesday.

• 1:25
  Speaker 2: 330-729-9977.

  Speaker 1: From NewsRadio 570, WKVN. What is on your minds here
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: as we start today? Hello, you're on the air. Good afternoon, Mr.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Verbe.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir. May I help you? You're on the air.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: How are you today?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I'm well. It's J.J. the Liberal.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: How was your holiday?
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: It was fine. I always enjoy those three-day weekends. I mean,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: you've got to love Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. You've just
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: got to love it.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it kind of takes you off your game, but.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: It's still a nice day. It's so relaxing, though. I mean,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: it's just, even though we had a lot of rain,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: what was it, Saturday?
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Or saturday or sunday or whatever but we had a
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: lot of rain but sometimes uh overcast rainy days i
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: just sit there in the front porch and i take
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: it all in my friends.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Taking it my dad loved it to do that to
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: sit back and he said those are the nice days
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: to sit back and take naps you know.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I've just just taken in nature taking in mother nature And.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: I just want to thank all the service members out there.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I want to give you a belated thank you for
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: your service in providing us all the ability to do
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: what we're doing right now and the freedoms that we
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: unfortunately sometimes take for granted. So if anybody's out there,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: thank you very much for the opportunity. your service and
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: your sacrifice, your ultimate sacrifice. So, anyway, I wanted to
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: touch base on a couple things. Obviously, the big thing
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: about that shooter, and I wanted to talk to you
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: about that.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: All right. So, which shooter?
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: The guy that was hit by the White House. All right.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: What about him?
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Well, the thing is, first of all, it wasn't an
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: assassination attempt. They kind of want to put it as
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: a I have some problems with it because the FBI
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: and the Washington police knew about this guy for a
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: long time, and he was just off. He was always,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: every time he got arrested, for being too close to
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: the White House, he would always say, I'm Jesus, and
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: he was just not right. And every time he was arrested,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: he never possessed a gun. And they claim that this
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: time he came out and he started to shoot, and
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: he was almost a quarter mile away from the White House.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: And the thing is, if you listen to the tape
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: of the guns going off, whenever I've ever seen police
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: officers and gunmen get into a shootout, you always hear
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: a hesitation between the gunplay. You always hear bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: you know, them moving about each other. Taking shots. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: That is not, that is, I mean, maybe you guys
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: are all thinking, rolling your eyes, but think about that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: That means you have, you're done on something that's stationary. Okay,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: and I'm not going to go anywhere more than that.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: You can take it what you think I'm meaning by this. Anyway,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: the other thing is that the last two days that
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Trump has been talking about his ballroom, I personally believe
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: it's a bunker. Because he said yesterday that there's a
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: drone capacity, that it's six floors down, that it has
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: meeting rooms, and that's all this. So the idea of
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: it being, quote-unquote, a ballroom where you think that it's
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: going to be like 1700s France where him and Melania
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: are going to be dancing around with everybody is not
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: what it is. It is a bunker, Ron.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: OK, I would imagine when you think there's a bunker
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: already under the White House. I mean, what I'm saying,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: I agree with you. I knew you were going to
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: say that. And I there is one. But why would
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: there be this? Why would you need a ballroom that
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: goes six floors down?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It could be for whatever you mentioned.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I really don't know. They haven't shared the plans with me.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I doubt if they're going to let you know if
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: there's a bunker under there.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: These things have been on my mind. And the other
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: thing is, I want to let you know that I'm
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: sorry that there are people that uh... have been supportive
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: of you uh... and then now our are uh..
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: It's going to.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Go rock catch it and all you're doing is you're
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: saying that you said many times i support trump i
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: would vote for trump again that i i wanted policies
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: by getting the people of the country and that you
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: want uh... the the economy to be better that you
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: are being honest and since you you are challenging justine
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: the acting in the people of the war <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Because I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: but people, they just attack you from above the news.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: And Jeffrey, the other day, was talking about in your face.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: And again, these are people that are upset also. But
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: I just... I understand that it has bothered me that
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: people are attacking you when all you're doing is asking questions,
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: and that is what a person's supposed to do.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to be one of those guys that
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: says anything that Trump does, I agree with 100%, because
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: that means you're checking your brain at the door. So
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: we shall see. I mean, I'm... I'm still concerned. I mean,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: this is dragging on. They were once again talking about
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: how it sounded like everything was done except dotting the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I's and crossing the T's on this latest agreement. And
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: now it appears that, well, there isn't any agreement, or
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: if there is at all, it's fallen apart. Who knows
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: where this is happening?
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: I don't think this is a war at all. It
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: has no characteristics of a war. I believe this is
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: all a power grab for money from all the countries.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: I really think about it. Any war that we've ever
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: experienced or seen, this is not the description or the
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: characteristics of what you would call a war. I mean,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: every now and then there'll be some strikes, but it isn't.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: It doesn't feel right, Ron. And I'm going to let
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: you leave it off with that because other people want
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: to call. But I just wanted to throw those couple
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: things out there and just listen to that gun play again.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: And you let me know next time I talk to
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: you what you think.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, buddy?
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Thank you. It's J.J. the Liberal starting things off on
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: this Tuesday. News Radio 570, WDQ. You're on the air.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Hello, Ron.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: That's Fort Lauderdale, Frank.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: Ron, I want to talk to you out the air.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: I'll stay on hold until you get a station break.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: But I think you'll be interested in what I have
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: to tell you.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I probably would be. Now I'm intrigued. You're not going
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to tell me that you want to break up or
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: anything like that, do you? I mean, it's not going
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to be bad news.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: No, it's actually a serious matter.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Well, I look forward to talking to you
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: about that. Let me see. S & P' s up today.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: NASDAQ's up today. And the Russell's up today. The Dow
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: is down. So let's see. S & P 500, NASDAQ
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: capitulated to new highs by Micron and Tech. as traders
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: monitor shaky Iran. Yeah, they were just saying the other day,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: they gave you the impression that another deal was really close,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and then that's kind of evaporated, isn't it?
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, exactly. And in fact, I can't mention the stock,
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: but one of the MAG-7s that I am holding for
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: my girlfriend and friends, it went up... A huge amount today.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: See, there you go. You've got to keep those young
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: women happy.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not easy, the pressure that you're under
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: with these young chicks and that kind of stuff. I'm
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: just saying, let's see, this thing, every time I hear it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: some type of agreement is close, and you were hearing
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: it just, what, over the weekends or prior to the weekend,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: and now it's like, okay, that's not happening. Where did
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I see today where they said..
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: He's bombing again.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, where Trump summons full cabinets to Camp David as
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Iran's ceasefire begins to fray. So every time they keep
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: talking about these ceasefires, they don't seem like they accomplish much.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Or any agreement.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: Remember when he said that him and Iran were close
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: to an agreement?
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes. I guess they weren't.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: And then what happened?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Apparently they're not.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: He wants them to let their guard down, and he
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: turns around and bombs them again.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know. We should just see what goes on here.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. You follow this. Here's what
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I read, and tell me if this is true or
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: false when it comes to the price of oil. Right now,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I'm led to believe, and just tell me if I'm
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: on track or not, I'm led to believe that we
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: are depleting a lot of strategic oil reserves, including here
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: in the United States of America, but other countries as
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: well are depleting their strategic oil reserves to try to
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: keep oil prices... from skyrocketing even higher. So strategic oil
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: reserves and oil supplies are being drained to keep prices
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: where they are right now. As a matter of fact,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I've even been reading where people might see a difficulty
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: in buying oil at the auto parts store or Walmart
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: or something like that, where you go to buy a
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: gallon of oil for your car and this kind of
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: stuff that's The supply is getting more difficult, I guess
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: is what you'd say. It's becoming tighter because they're going
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: through all the reserves. Have you seen that or read that?
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, sure.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: In fact, the headline news on MarketWatch today was that
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: China had more strategic reserves in oil than previously thought,
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: and that's the only thing keeping the price down. But
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: even though West Texas Intermediate was down today... global oil
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: prices measured by Brent crude were up.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so let me ask you this. I'll do a
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: little brain picking here.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: Let me interrupt one second. California is saying they will
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: run out of gas in six weeks, and after that
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: we will see huge prices increases, and gas prices currently
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: exceed $ 6 a gallon on average, but a California official
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: said said so many Californians will be unable to afford
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: gas that prices will actually stabilize at $ 6. 50 a gallon
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: because people won't be able to.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Afford to drive.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Well, what choice do you have? I mean, to a
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: large extent, the gas prices in California are ridiculous to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: begin with. But, I mean, you can certainly cut back
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: on some driving, but you've got to drive to work
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and home, and you've got to drive to go get groceries.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, you could cut down... You're driving if you
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: just drive for the necessity or combined trips. I get that.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: But you're not going to be able to stop driving.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I guess you could carpool with a neighbor or something
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: like that. But gas prices have always been high in California.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: So help me out here. They say that the oil,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: and you might read this, the oil that we do
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: here in our country is the wrong, it's not the
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: right grade, if you will, for our refineries. Is that accurate,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: that we need the oil from other countries to refine?
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Does that make sense to you?
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: Well, our refineries are built to refine. I believe it's
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: heavy crude, yeah, not light sour or sweet crude like
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: you get from the Persian Gulf.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: So, yes, we.
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: Import oil from other countries. not only for domestic consumption,
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: but after we've refined some of that oil we import,
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: we turn around and export to the countries.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: That need it.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Right, like our oil is heavier or something, and it
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: has to go to other refineries, apparently, to get... It's
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: just the grade of the oil, as I understand it.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: So anyway, that's what I've been reading. I didn't know
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: if you follow that, where basically they're saying that there is...
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: an oil shortage right now because of the supplies being
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: depleted to keep prices down, and that that's a ticking
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: time bomb with oil prices potentially as they decline going
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: up and oil becoming more scarce. Have you read that,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: or am I full of BS?
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: No, I've read that, but here's another problem even worse
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: than that. Here's another article from a financial publication. Quote,
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: Trump might wreck your car engine in order to scarf
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: up votes from corn farmers. Speaking to farmers in Iowa,
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: he promised farmers that he would issue an executive order
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: requiring the selling of 15% ethanol gas year-round. This level
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: of alcohol ruins car engines and pollutes the air we breathe. And, Ron,
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: ethanol is made from corn, by the way.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, your car's got to be designed to be able
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: to take that. I mean, you'll see the sticker on
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: your car that says you can't put more than 10%
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: ethanol and gas in it. I mean, it's got to
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: be designed for it. Not everyone can do it. You're right,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: if you're dumb. It can definitely cause havoc when it
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: comes to your car. I mean, it's going to be interesting.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: All these peace agreements just seem to blow up. They
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: never seem to materialize. And we shall see what happens
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: with the dwindling oil supply and what the answer is
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: to get out of this mess. All right, hang in, Frank.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Let me get back to you momentarily. Call us in line.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Stand by. We're here till 530. Stay tuned. 570 WKBN.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: All right, NewsRadio 570, WKBN and Ron Verb, Bit325. But
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: we shall see where things go. I'm led to believe
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: that if we can reach an agreement, the market will soar.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: And so hopefully we'll reach an agreement. If not, it's
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: just going to be up and down constantly. It's going
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: to be volatility, right, Frank?
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah. In fact, that's what I was going to say,
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: because the market is mixed today because of So much uncertainty.
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: That's why we're seeing very volatile markets. But, you know,
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: I also want to mention about Trump and his family
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: making fortunes off of this.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: War.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Now explain it to me. You're not the first. I
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: hear people saying this, that the Trump kids are keeping
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: a pretty low profile, that they're making a bunch of money.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: How are they making all this money?
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: Well, for example, the New Yorker reported that Trump invested
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: in companies that are competing for federal government permits and funding,
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: has filed personal, multi-billion dollar lawsuits against banks regulated by
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: the Trump regime, then pressures the banks to settle out
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: of court to avoid paying more, and he leases his
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: name to resort hotels and golf courses, and claims there
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: is evidence that Trump sells pardons, according to The New Yorker,
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: and his net worth is now estimated to be between
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: $ 4 to $ 5 billion. But Rolling Stone reports an amazing
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: rise in the net worth of Trump's sons. They said
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: that historically a president and his appointees that possessed any
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: degree of wealth had to put their assets into a
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: blind trust. But Trump doesn't have a blind trust because
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: his Businesses are run by his sons. And Barron Trump
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: made $ 135 million in one day recently. And China's President
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: Xi Jinping told Trump that America is a declining power
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: because there is no longer any moral principle in our government.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I hope I make you wonder. All right, Fort Lauderdale.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: But let me say real quick, I mean, I said
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: the same thing when that 26-man cabal was running the
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: Biden administration. They didn't care about running the government. All
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: they cared about was enriching themselves. We basically had no executive.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: Nobody was running the government. They were just grifting and
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: making themselves rich.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Thank you, buddy. Appreciate it. Have a good day. News
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Radio 570 WKBN. And wait a second here. Let me
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: do this. And Ron Verb, you're on the air.

  Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Now that we've got Blanche in here, or whatever his
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: name is, all of a sudden the Epstein files disappear.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, you mean the new Attorney General?
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the new Attorney General, yes.

  Speaker 1: then callers in line, stand by. Welcome to a Tuesday afternoon.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Just going to talk about the new Attorney General and
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: what happened to the Epstein files. Should be interesting. Coming
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: up right after this. It's 82. News Radio 570. WKVN. WKVN. Well,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: IDO 335 here on a Tuesday afternoon, May 26th. We're
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: at 82 degrees. Ron Verb from the Kingdom of Mahoning
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: with you until 530 tonight. Then the pregame as the
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Guardians take to the airwaves again. All right, go ahead.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I don't understand. I mean, the Epstein fouls come through.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: They're disappeared. Then on top of that, with this new
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: deal he's trying to make to pay off the people
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: he thought there was being hurt by the courts unjustifiably, Now,
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: they're going to get that money if our weak-kneed representatives
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: in Washington, D.C. allow it. So far, they've pretty much
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: kind of let him have his own move.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Well, now back up. As I tell people when I
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: talk about this settlement, remember what happened to Trump and
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: why there was a settlement. An employee at the IRS
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: leaked his personal tax returns. As I've said to people before,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: it was Trump, Sean Hannity. I forget the other names
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: that were involved. And all what you'd consider conservatives, if
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: you will. Well, that's against the law. That is private.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: And it irritates me. I don't care who it is.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: That's your private business. And this guy stole that information,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: gave it to the New York Times. And the New
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: York Times should have said, we're not going to publish
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: this because this is stolen. It's stolen material. But yet
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the media, they all... went with it. They didn't care
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: that the guy stole it. They hated Trump so much
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: that they published it. And then the other outlets could
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: report on it by saying, well, as the New York
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Times reported, it should have never been published. And it
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: should never been published in the first place. I believe
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Trump has a lawsuit against everyone that published that private information,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: as well as the IRS. It was the IRS employee
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: that leaked the information. So that's where the lawsuit stems from.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: So he was done an injustice, Justice Hannity was done
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: an injustice by some vindictive person who didn't like conservatives
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: that worked for the IRS. This is not what the,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: this is what the settlement is about. So he took
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the settlement to say, listen, give me this much money,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: put it in a fund that can be used for
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: people that have been pinpointed by the government and so
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: that they can be made whole again. And in reality,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I think that there are people that have been pinpointed
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: by the government that should be made whole again. Listen,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I'm against the use of the IRS when– I don't
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: care if it's Republicans, Democrats went after reporters. If you remember,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I think Nixon did that. He's a Republican. And you
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: had Obama went after the Tea Party. Listen, this is
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: the Internal Revenue Service. It isn't there for these elected
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: officials to say, we're going to appoint people to it
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: so I can use it for a vindictive arm to
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: go after people, just as the Biden administration did when
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: it came to the regulators at the banks to try
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: to debank Trump. This isn't what government's all about. And
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: when it does that kind of stuff, The people should
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: be going to prison, and the government should be held
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: accountable to make those people whole. I have a difficult time,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: like on January 6th, with some of these people that
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: were just law-abiding citizens. They weren't troublemakers, and they didn't
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: break any windows. And they walked in, and the police
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: didn't stop them, and they looked around, and they left,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: almost like you would as a tourist. Now, should we
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: hunt them down and arrest them and put them in
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: jail and ruin their lives for– just walking in with
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the police, not stopping him. And they were looking around
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: and then they left. They didn't steal Nancy Pelosi's podium.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, some of the, some of this stuff got
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: out of hand politically. I'm tired of the politics involved
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: with judges or, or with the, the law fair or
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, or using the IRS.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just, if you go on trial, you
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: call it. I want you to, the facts of your
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: cases to be heard and, And it doesn't matter if
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: you're a conservative or a liberal or a Democrat, Republican, independent.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: It shouldn't matter. What are the facts of your case?
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: And you should be able to get a fair ruling
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: based on that. It should have nothing to do with politics,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: nor should have anything to do with politics when we
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: sick the government on somebody like they did the Trump family.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: So or some of these people from January 6th that
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: were certainly gone after in an aggressive fashion like we've
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: never seen before.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Okay. I'll agree partly on that. But you notice what
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: shortly came when he was supposed to, when he went
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: to sue, then he came back and said, I'll take
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: this amount. And he and his group get to pick
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: who gets the money and who don't. But this is
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: what the other part, in the fine print, in the
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: fine print, whatever he has done wrong... Right.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: He got a pardon. He got– I agree with you
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: on the fine print totally. In other words, the IRS
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: won't look at him ever again or his family members
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: or his businesses. I'm in total agreement with you that–
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: keep in mind the attorney general was also Trump's personal lawyer.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: And so his personal lawyer as the attorney general gave
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: him a total waiver– from the IRS ever inspecting anything
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: to do with him, his children, his businesses, period. And
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: as I've said on a program last week, if they
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: did that for Biden, every conservative would be bitching about it,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: just as they should when they do it for the
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Trump family, because they're not doing it for anybody else.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: You're correct, but it just wasn't the Trump family. It's
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: the people in his cabinet also.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Well, it's his businesses and what have you that's Now,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: the counterargument to that, and I'm not saying that there's
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: a counterargument, the counterargument is, look at the hell he's
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: been through as a result of politics. And I'm just,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: as an American, I'm opposed to the politics that uses
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: the branches of government for evil purposes, to go after
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: an individual or to go after their family members or
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: or to persecute people. I find that so reprehensible. I
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: don't care who's behind it or what party's behind it.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: I don't agree with it. I understand what you're saying there.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: But in the same token, when he did get pulled in,
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: he should have realized that people are going to be
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: focused on everything he does. But he keeps on going
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: on and on and on. Like this, whatever he wants,
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: he's going to go after. And he don't care what
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: anybody thinks. And he should be scrutinized because of what
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: he did in New York City.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, he can be scrutinized all he wants. It
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: can become unfair when it becomes done for political purposes.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Like that Loretta James, she ran for office on a
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: platform of, if you elect me, I'll get Trump. I'll
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: go after Trump. Well, that seems so wrong to me
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: that you're running for office saying, give me the power
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to go after some individual.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Some individual that kept going through courts and not doing
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: what he was supposed to be doing.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: That's not necessarily true. It's just like this. I'm sorry.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: I don't believe this for a minute. This woman that
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: won the $ 85 million, the woman that claimed she was
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: sexually assaulted in a department store dressing room, never filed
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: a police report, didn't scream, didn't go out in shock
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: or anything. I don't believe that story for one minute.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: And yet it's her word against his word. and yet
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: they ruled against him and gave an $ 85 million settlement
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: because of perhaps the politics of the region. And there's
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: no proof involved in this at all. It's just ridiculous.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: That can be sketchy on that point. I can see
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: what you're saying, because that could be done just because
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: you're a female in the first place.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you're claiming you were sexually assaulted in
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: a department store, why didn't you scream? You're in a
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: department store. Why didn't you come out? I mean, it's
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: so ridiculous, the whole scenario. And I'm just troubled by
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: some of these allegations that are made against some of
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: these people for political purposes. Usually you would often hear
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: this like in divorce cases where the wife would accuse
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: the father of some sexual misdoings or something. None of
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: it was true. It was just such an ugly divorce
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: that they would make these claims up. And I'm thinking
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: how evil that is to do that to a person.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's the evilness of the people in the
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: first place.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: So I understand why Trump would say, listen, if the
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: next president is a Democrat, are they going to go
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: after my family again like they did under the Biden administration? Remember,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: under the Biden administration, you had bank regulators that came
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: forward that were whistleblowers. that came forward that said, hey,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: we were instructed to go to these banks, Bank of
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: America and everything, and get them to debank Trump's entire family.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: I had never heard of this before I read this story,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: where they went and they basically threatened these banks through
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: regulation to get his entire family debanked. And I said, well,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: what does that mean? Well, it means you can't have
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: any money in that bank. You can't do business with
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: that bank. So it didn't matter if it was Barron
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Trump or his wife or his entire family was debanked
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: because the regulators were saying they were forced to do
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: this under the Biden administration. So Trump had to go
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: to much smaller regional banks because they wouldn't do business
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: with him. Well, I think that that is an absolute
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: abuse of power. He since then has passed a law.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: that changed the law to say this should not happen
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: to any American. It doesn't matter if you're Democrat or Republican,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: and I agree with that. uh it was just the
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: evilness of politics and i i don't support that kind
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: of stuff i mean it's america we're all americans i
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: don't support this destroy somebody with the office that you
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: have for political purposes i i just don't think that's that's.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Right was it totally political Yeah, these..
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: 100% political?
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Or was there.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Anything there that was viable to be used?
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: No, they were... Because they did it through regulations. They were...
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: And these guys are coming forward as whistleblowers saying, this
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: is what took place. It's the evilness of politics. And sometimes,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's why... Sometimes you've got to just base
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: people on the job they're doing outside of their political parties.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: You follow me? I mean, just because..
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: I follow you, but what are we going to do
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: about Epstein files now?
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I believe that all should be released. And I agree
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: with you. It certainly has vanished from the front page.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Is there any scrutiny because of the war situation? And
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: now you've got his former lawyer in charge of it.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: And I seriously doubt if you'll know any more than
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: you know right now. I'll say it to you again,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if you agree. I believe it
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: was an intelligence operation that Epstein was created. I suspect
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of it was through the Mossad. And I
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: think it's an intelligent operation, and they're not going to
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: give you any of that information at all. And God
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: only knows who has it and what they can use
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: it for to manipulate the rich and political people. And
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: that's very disturbing to me.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Well, then what about these poor girls?
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Exactly. I agree with you. What about the victims? And
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: they are absolutely forgotten. It's a double standard of justice.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: But it was a double standard of justice under Democrats
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: or Republicans. You didn't see it under Biden. You didn't
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: see it under Trump. Go back to the original case
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: when they brought it in Florida. I mean, that whole
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: case was fixed back then. I forget what year that was.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: So it didn't matter if they were Republicans or Democrats anymore.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: This is a double standard of justice, and I agree
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: with you. It stinks to high heavens.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: Well, okay then. I got a little story for you. Good.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: I can use one.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: A guy that I was working with would drive nothing
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: but Fords. His dad had Fords. His uncles had Fords.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: His grandfather had Fords. His great-grandfather had Fords. I'll never
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: buy nothing but a Ford.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Gotcha.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: So one day we're sitting there at lunch and we're
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: talking away, and he said, you know, I worked on
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: my truck this past weekend, yeah? He said, I put
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Mopar shocks on my Ford. I don't know. Sometimes I
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: can be a smart aleck for no reason at all.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: I said, so you put the Mopar shocks on your
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: Ford so it would ride like a Chevy. He got
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: up and left the lunchroom and didn't talk to me
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: for about four days.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Now, wait a minute. Wouldn't a Mopar shock make it
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: ride like a Chrysler? Because Chrysler's Mopar.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: I understand, but it made it ride softer.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: I see. So he was that upset over a joke
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: for four days.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Sometimes people just got to lighten up
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: a little bit on that stuff.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: What my end thing was going to say was both sides.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Both sides have got to lighten up and take a
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: look at what's going to help us and our kids
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: and our grandkids and our great-grandkids in the future.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Don't sit there on a sideline on one. and stay
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: with it just because that's your banner all your life.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Right. I'm with you.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Have a nice day.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Thank you. You're on the air.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Ronald.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: It's Ted the Conservative.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: My goodness gracious. I was calling in to get your
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: opinion on something.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Well, I can give you that, and then you can
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: talk about other stuff.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: And then I had to listen to China is the
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: moral authority of the world, and I had to listen
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: to All the assassination attempts on Donald Trump are false.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: And then we go to the Epstein situation.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, wow. You know, I can say this.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: There are other people. Once again, I say there are
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: other people that have other opinions than yours, and they
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: have every right to express it. All right?
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: I have friends that have watched, you know, what was
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: that last shooting attempt at the media dinner? What was
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: that called?
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what you mean.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Where the guy stormed in and they ended up, you know,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: they subdued him and they got him. You know, I
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: have friends that believe that. The Butler shooting, the shooting
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: on the golf course. They're such staunch liberals. They believe
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: those are all staged events to help promote Trump.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that's crazy, but people are entitled to
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: their crazy thoughts and opinions. I think it's just crazy.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: That's just as crazy as the other guy saying that China...
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: is the moral authority of the world.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know that, I don't know what you're entitled.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: To your opinions, but that doesn't mean that you're not crazy.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: And then I got to touch on the substance stuff.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: I'm convinced that everything that could be released has been released.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: The reason other documents haven't been released is because a
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: lot of it is hearsay. You know what I mean?
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: You can't, you can't, put someone in a legal jeopardy
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: without legal stance. You know what I mean? So I
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: think both Republicans and Democrats are using Epstein as a
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: political football to how it benefits themselves. And if I'm wrong,
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: there's one guy that could prove me wrong.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: Tom Matthews.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: He claimed to be a big fighter of the people, right?
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: He was out front with Ro Khanna, and he's become
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: so entrenched with that left wing of the Democrat Party. Well,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: he lost his election. He doesn't have to worry about
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: getting re-elected.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: All right, stand by for a minute. Stand by. Back
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: with Ted the Conservative and more of your calls. Welcome

• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, Ronald. So Tom Massey claims to be the people's representative, right?
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: And he claims that there's this list of... What should
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: we call them? Aggressors in the Epstein files that the
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Trump White House is protecting.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Well..
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: He has complete legal protection and authority, as he said
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: he has, to stand on the House floor and read
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: these names and put to bed the Epstein mystery. So
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: why doesn't he do that?
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think he has access to all of the information.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, stand by, Ted. I've got a long segment
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: after my break at 4. I want to talk to

  Speaker 7: in the paper mills. making process.
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: They've cooled down the damaged chemical tank and eliminated the
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: chance of a major explosion, say fire officials in Orange County, California,
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: at the military aircraft factory, but there's still a chance
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: of a leak or smaller blast, so not all evacuation
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: orders are lifted.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Says ABC's Alex Stone.
• 37:53
  Speaker 8: Hopefully later on tonight, the 16,000, it was 50,000 last
• 37:57
  Speaker 8: night because of the threat of what they call a blevy,
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: but a large-scale explosion, and now gone, that that's not
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: going to go on, that they hope to be able
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: to get the number down from the 16,000 it's at
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: right now to nobody possibly later on tonight.
• 38:11

  Speaker 6: that could have allowed Republicans to flip the seat held
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: by Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn, has been killed by the
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: Republican-controlled state Senate. It voted to go home till after
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: June primaries.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Without action on the map.

  Speaker 9: Alabama Republicans are not giving up this fight. They plan

  Speaker 9: to go back to the Supreme Court again. I think

  Speaker 9: by my count that would be the fourth time in
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: this battle over their 2023 election map. Back to the
