The entire broadcast from Friday 05/29/26 · Ron Verb

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And good afternoon, NewsRadio 570 WKBN. You've got to love
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: these short weeks, right? As a result of the holiday
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: on Monday, it's 3-0-7 on a Friday afternoon, another gorgeous day.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Just a stretch of beautiful weather we have in my
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: neck of the woods here in the great state of Ohio,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: in Tiffany Boulevard in Boardman, where we broadcast from 78
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: degrees as we sit here this afternoon. And the sun
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: is shining. What can I say? All is well, right?
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: The weekend is insights. Top secret number is always 330-729-9977.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: 330-729-9977. 330-729-9977.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Some of the discussion yesterday, and I thought one of
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the best calls, if you missed the program yesterday, I
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: really thought Alex's call that he made yesterday was really insightful.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, as we talk about these data centers and
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: AI and this kind of stuff, and there's always this
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: stuff to be concerned about. Some people might say fear-mongering,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: if you will. But technology is here. I mean, we've
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: got to realize that you're not going to stop technology.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: You're not going to stop progress. There were many people
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: that thought that when the Internet was coming around. There's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: good and bad with the Internet. Like I said yesterday,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: when you take a look when the Internet first came,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: they said everything good about it. I mean, when I
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: grew up, we had encyclopedias. Can you imagine that? I mean,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: we had to buy encyclopedias at home to do your homework.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: That business, you don't need it anymore. I mean, as
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a result of the Internet and Google... does anybody buy
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: encyclopedias now? But back then before the internet, of course
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: you had to. And you see how things have changed
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and jobs have been lost and jobs have been gained
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: in areas. I mean, it's like a cycle. Okay. Some
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of these jobs, we go away, but new jobs are
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: created and When it comes to the Internet. So there's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of people concerned. OK, what's going to happen
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: here when AI comes around? I'm not buying into this scenario.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: A lot of people are saying, oh, robots are going
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to be doing your plumbing. Robots are going to be
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: hanging your drywall. All of this kind of nonsense. I'm
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: not buying into that fear, if you will. Human beings
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: are still going to be needed, and human beings will
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: be doing a lot of that work. Human beings are
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: going to be your electricians. Human beings are going to
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: be framing your house and doing a drywall and building stuff. Sure,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: we're going to have more AI, more robotics in the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: operating room. Think of the upside when people are talking
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: about data centers and when people are talking about the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: downside of AI. I mean, the upside of it is,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: think of the fact that it's, I don't know if
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: it'll be so much you or me, but certainly your
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: adult children and grandchildren to come will probably live a longer,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: healthier life as a result of AI. Quicker, more accurate diagnostics,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: more accurate processes in the operating room. I mean, there's
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of upsides to data centers and AI.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Hopefully less misdiagnosis as a result of the AI input
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: on things. I mean, so there's positives and there's negatives.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Just like I said yesterday, when the Internet came around,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: all the great stuff that the Internet brings you to
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: be able to buy stuff that you probably normally wouldn't
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: be able to get without traveling. But it also brought
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: all the bad stuff right into your home. So it
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: depended how you wanted to use the Internet. I mean,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: are there people who use the Internet and get in
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: trouble because of child porn? Absolutely. Or because of any
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: number of things that are illegal or simply just morally wrong,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I suspect. There's plenty of people who get in trouble
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that way. We see it every day. We see it here.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: How many times... You have to be a total idiot,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: these people that you see that are soliciting prostitution on
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the Internet or soliciting... child's porn on the internet, I'm
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: thinking to myself, have you people ever been reading a
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: newspaper or following how this has been getting busted for years?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: That that probably isn't some 15-year-old girl that's hot for
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you on the end of the line, but some cop
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: sitting somewhere? It probably isn't. I mean, the thought of
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: these idiots that fall for this time and time and
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: time again is bewildering to me how stupid they are
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: in the first place. Because this has been going on
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: for years. But that's the dark side, the bad side
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: of the internet. So like I said, when the internet
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: came around, all the good that comes into your house
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: is terrific and life-changing. I mean, think how things have
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: changed from ordering stuff on Amazon delivered right to your
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: doorstep without having to go to the store. Doing research
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: made so easy because of the internet. Googling something. How
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: much do we learn from YouTube by watching a video
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: of how to fix something? This is all the good
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: stuff that came as a result of the internet, but
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: as I said, there's all that bad stuff. But it's
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: up to you to use it properly and to monitor
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: it in your own home and with your own children.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: There's a responsibility, just as buying a firearm is a
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: responsibility that you have as a parent to make sure
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: that's secured so your children don't get a hold of it,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: including your teenagers. So there's always got to be a responsibility.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So don't you think that the good side of AI
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: will be there to potentially, and I'm just putting this
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: out there, make us all more productive? That we all
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: become more productive people? the medical aspects of it, the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: auditing aspects of it to stop fraud and this kind
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of stuff. I mean, there's a lot of good sides
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to it. And yes, will it replace some jobs?
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Just as robotics did when we had 7,000 people at
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Lordstown and then we got down to 2,000 people because
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: of robotics. And is that a possibility that we'll see
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: in other jobs in the workforce? Absolutely. But does that
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: mean it's there won't be other opportunities that will be
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: out there and created as well that we don't even
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: know about yet. So I always like to think tomorrow
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: is always better than today. And AI is here. And
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the people that's, I'm thinking how foolish a lot of
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: these communities and people will look 10 or 20 years
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: from now. So let me get this straight. You were
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: trying to fight a data center coming to town? The
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: technology coming to town? The things that we all are
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: using that your children and your adult children and you
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: yourself will be using? So you were against it. You
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: were trying to fight it. But yet you use it.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: It's really bizarre. I mean, it's really bizarre. So to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: a certain extent, that's why I say I embrace it.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I embrace the technology. I think we should embrace it
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: in our community. We shouldn't have all these moratoriums or
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: bans on it. I think you should embrace it and
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: welcome it to the community. Yes, it's not going to
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: be like a factory having 2,000 jobs, but a lot
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: of those jobs, remember it was 7,000. Technology changed it tremendously,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and technology is going to change it even more. You're
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: not going to stop it or fight it, but if
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: it's somewhat... a clean factory that's just going to pollute
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: your community. Well, isn't that something worthwhile in this idea? Well,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: it doesn't create a bunch of jobs. Well, there's going
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: to be a bunch of jobs as far as people
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: that are going to have to maintain this facility, service
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the cooling, which is vitally important in all the services
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that are needed from these facilities, in addition to a
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: handful of employees. just something to think about as we
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: go along. I just asked you to ponder all of that.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Because I just sit back and say, yes, I actually
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: read the newspaper and I see all these areas that
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: seem to be upset or bothered about data centers. And
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I just shake my head and I'm saying, they're going
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: to go somewhere else. And yeah, What the state is
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: doing is going in the right direction by saying, hey,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: you're not going to get a break on sales tax.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: You never should have got it in the first place.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: There shouldn't be any breaks on property taxes. And then
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: we say, as Dave Thomas says, you've got to provide
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: your own power because we can't put you on the
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: grid because we just can't. on the grid. You have
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: to come up with your own process of creating your
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: own power, and the excess power goes back to the grid.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Just some thoughts for you to think about. I mean,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: regulated properly, and I think Dave Thomas and the state
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: is going in that direction. Let's fix the mistakes, as DeWine,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: and I can't wait for him to leave, pause that
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: ridiculousness of waiving a sales tax. We shouldn't have any,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: once again, property tax abatements. for AI centers, but let's
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: stop the moratoriums and the banning and the fear mongering
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: of it when I'm here to say each and every
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: one of you will be using it and in many
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: cases will benefit from it certainly medically and you'll say
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: wow that's amazing Just like the robotics that you see today.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: We don't have to cut you open and take your
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: gallbladder out anymore. We make these incisions and it's not
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: a major operation like it used to be. And we're
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: starting to see that more and more when it comes
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: to stents and bypass operations. What will the future bring
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: with this technology that can make it even less invasive
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and less discomfort? We shall see.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: 330-729-9977.
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: 330-729-9977.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: You're on the air. Hello. Hey there. How you doing?
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: This is Pete.
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: Again. I got two things I'd like to talk about,
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: if I may.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Let me think for a minute. Okay.
• 10:56
  Speaker 8: Okay, you're thinking, or it's okay, I can talk?
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I don't like to think too hard
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: on a Friday, you understand. So, no, you go ahead
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and talk.
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: Well, thank you. But anyhow, this data thing, how many,
• 11:12
  Speaker 8: you were talking about that encyclopedia thing that every five
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: years you had to buy a new set because there
• 11:17
  Speaker 8: was more information. My thinking is how many of those,
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: all those data centers is just like the tower in
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: your computer. They store your information. And these things are huge.
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: How many of these things do we need to store
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: all this information in? That's the kind of thing that's
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: kind of, because I know it's coming. I'm against it
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: because of security reasons. That's my thing, just plain security.
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: But how many of these do we really need when
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: you can go to Google now and Google up almost
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: anything you want? I mean, you see which way I'm
• 11:58
  Speaker 8: going with it? Because we talked about it yesterday. But anyhow,
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: my second topic is, how much more is this Iran
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: war going to cost us? Why did he have to
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: go and break the contract that Obama made with him
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: when it was Iran's money? Because Iran took us to
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: a national court and they said, well, we can't because
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: we locked up their funds for what they were doing
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: over there in the Middle East and up throughout the world. So, okay,
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: we'll give you so much money, and you give us
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: the enriched uranium and stuff. And that's how we were
• 12:41
  Speaker 8: giving them their money back. We just didn't give them
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: back the money. It was their money in the beginning.
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: But their complaint was, if we have a catastrophe, we
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: won't have the money to help our people. So Obama
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: thought about it and said, okay, we'll give you so
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: much money, you give us the enriched uranium. But so far...
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: And now the Pentagon is asking for billions of dollars
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: because they didn't think they were going to be in
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: this thing that long to make up for parts, maintenance,
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: and new equipment that was blown up because they never
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: counted on them shooting at our installations over in the
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: Middle East. So, I mean, you figure four airplanes, how
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: many of them guys have been hurt or are going
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: to be hurt for the rest of their lives? I
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: can't see this. It's going to cost the United States
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: more money to get out of this Iran war than
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: if he had just left it alone.
• 13:38
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: And there are many people that would agree with you
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: that he should have never got involved in it from
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the very beginning.
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: But they made the lie like it was our money.
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: When it was never our money, it was their money
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: we gave them back a little bit at a time.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
• 13:59
  Speaker 8: And I just, he just thought he could bully his
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: way through it. He doesn't, there is, there is, when
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: they say, oh, we were talking about this, we got
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: things laid out. Yeah, and guess what it's going to do?
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: It's going to cost the United States more money than
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: if we'd have left the whole situation alone. Because they're
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: going to say, well, Israel's got nuclear, so we need
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: nuclear to protect us from Israel.
• 14:26
  Speaker 10: Mm-hmm.
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: And it's just, it makes no sense at all for
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: what he did. And, well, maybe I can go to
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: another third topic. I was watching on Fox News where
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: all these guys were, because I listen to a lot
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: of different news channels, BBC, Fox, and CNN, and they're
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: all in there having a big old hoopty-doo talk with
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: all his little group in there. I have never seen
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: such a nauseating group who all they did was kiss
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: his butt. If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: for you, if it wasn't for you, if it wasn't
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: for you. That's what that's all about. He's over there smiling,
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: carrying on, like, you know, I'm really doing something here.
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: He don't want the people to know that he either
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: doesn't understand what he's doing, that sort of thing.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I appreciate your input. I found your conversation interesting. We'll
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: be right back. I must confess that the guy that
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: just called, I do agree with him on one thing.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I do agree with his observation. Whenever I watch his
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: cabinet meetings, and I love the transparency that I can
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: actually sit there and watch him happen. But I do
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: agree with the last caller, and he made a great observation,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: whether you like it or not. He's right. When you
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: watch it, it's like Trump is sitting there, and every
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: one of these people are just kissing his ass. It
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: does get a little nauseating. when you do watch them,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: if it wasn't for you, you're the greatest, you know,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: and how they kind of do this kind of stuff. And, uh,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: you do kind of shake your head at times because
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: sometimes you need people who do disagree with you. And
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: so who might, you might be thinking something and maybe
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: it's not right. And they are thinking something differently and,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: and offer their arguments. But it seems like I understand
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the point the guy was trying to make. Let me
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: just put it that way. You're on the air. Hello.
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: Uh..
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: You know i uh..
• 16:26
  Speaker 11: This is read from butler uh..
• 16:29
  Speaker 12: You know i've always thought this uh..
• 16:31
  Speaker 11: Environmental i can.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Hear me okay i got a copy of your work.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: You can't uh..
• 16:37
  Speaker 11: I've always thought that the environmental movement was uh... you
• 16:41
  Speaker 11: know kind of all about uh... read on the outside
• 16:43
  Speaker 11: read on the insider or no it's a great on
• 16:45
  Speaker 11: the outside read on the inside you know leftist uh...
• 16:49
  Speaker 11: sort of a tactic uh..
• 16:53
  Speaker 12: You know with the data centers and that topic the
• 16:56
  Speaker 12: fact that.
• 16:57
  Speaker 11: They're putting many, many, many gigawatts.
• 17:00
  Speaker 12: Of hyperscale data centers all.
• 17:02
  Speaker 11: Over the world right now, and the tech industry is
• 17:06
  Speaker 11: obviously promoting it, I think we've got a clearer picture
• 17:10
  Speaker 11: that the whole climate crisis movement basically is nullified. In
• 17:19
  Speaker 11: my mind, completely nullified.
• 17:21
  Speaker 13: It..
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Well, now, this is an excellent observation. In other words,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: these guys were all about the climate and what have
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: you until it became their business needing more power. And
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: all that went out the door. You're saying this is
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: an opinion. This is an observation, correct?
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:40
  Speaker 11: If you Google or do AI on the data centers,
• 17:45
  Speaker 11: they're clearly talking about even using coal. We've got gas emissions.
• 17:50
  Speaker 11: peak plants being used. This is a fossil fuel consuming
• 17:54
  Speaker 11: industry and it's exponentially growing and no one's saying, well,
• 18:00
  Speaker 11: very few people are saying much about the whole climate
• 18:02
  Speaker 11: crisis because.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: It doesn't fit.
• 18:04
  Speaker 12: It doesn't fit at all. So I think the people,
• 18:07
  Speaker 12: you know.
• 18:08
  Speaker 11: And my opinion has always been, you know, green on
• 18:12
  Speaker 11: the outside, red on the inside. I have real problems
• 18:15
  Speaker 11: with leftists and anything that that they've used to get
• 18:19
  Speaker 11: a foothold of powers, you know, I'm against. So, you know,
• 18:24
  Speaker 11: just wanted to check you don't hear too much about
• 18:27
  Speaker 11: what the data center said.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: No, you're making a fair observation on the whole thing.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I'm with you 100% on what you're saying, how ridiculous
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: this is. from these guys, basically. All of a sudden,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: when it became their business or their industry, the whole
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: green energy thing went out the window and they started
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: embracing nuclear and coal and everything else because they need
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the power, right? That's what you're saying.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 18:52
  Speaker 12: Right, and the wind turbines, the solar..
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, standby. Just standby for a minute. Standby. I'll come
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: right back to you. More of your calls straight ahead
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: on a gorgeous Friday. Stay tuned.
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: News Radio 570 WKVN. Let me find that guy.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Let me see. Was I talking to you before the break?
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:08
  Speaker 14: Okay.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: But you're saying there are a bunch of frauds, basically, right?
• 19:14
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 19:18
  Speaker 12: I would take up a huge..
• 19:20
  Speaker 11: Huge amount of area of land, right? And they're not recyclable.
• 19:26
  Speaker 11: You know, the wind turbines, it's fiberglass, heavily reinforced fiberglass, mechanical,
• 19:33
  Speaker 11: electronic materials.
• 19:34
  Speaker 12: Almost none of it's recyclable.
• 19:36
  Speaker 11: They bury the blades. They grind them up, create a
• 19:39
  Speaker 11: bunch of fiberglass shards, and then they bury them on
• 19:42
  Speaker 11: the sly.
• 19:43
  Speaker 12: I know that for a fact.
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: I've seen pictures of it. You know, the.
• 19:50
  Speaker 12: Some sort of a scam. It would be interesting to
• 19:53
  Speaker 12: know who made the money, who is making the money.
• 19:56
  Speaker 11: I know Solyndra was a big thing with the Obama
• 19:59
  Speaker 11: administration and You know, that turned out to be a scam.
• 20:03
  Speaker 12: You know, it's like the old thing where there's smoke,
• 20:04
  Speaker 12: there's fire, right?
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Well, they're stealing all this money, right? Politically connected people
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: stealing all this money. But the point that you were
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: making was these people that were opposed to fossil fuels,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden were saying, well, we can't cut
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: it with windmills or solar panels. We need coal and
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: nuclear to run these data centers. They did a 180
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: on their environmental views for their businesses, correct? Correct.
• 20:30
  Speaker 16: Yeah, exactly.
• 20:31
  Speaker 12: Exactly my point. I mean, it wasn't too long ago
• 20:34
  Speaker 12: I was thinking like.
• 20:35
  Speaker 11: Well, I might have to get rid of my gas range.
• 20:37
  Speaker 11: I have a nice Wolf gas range. I love to
• 20:39
  Speaker 11: cook with gas.
• 20:41
  Speaker 12: They were saying that, you know, which administration?
• 20:44
  Speaker 11: It was either Biden or Obama. No more gas ranges. Well,
• 20:48
  Speaker 11: I mean, I'll tell you what the hell was that.
• 20:50
  Speaker 11: If they're going to build data centers coast to coast
• 20:54
  Speaker 11: using like more power than major cities, then... It's pretty
• 21:00
  Speaker 11: rich telling me I can't have a gas range, right?
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: They wanted you to go to electric. And anymore, the
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: grid couldn't support your electric range. I got what you're saying.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: And you got a couple of bucks if you got
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: the Wolf stove because that's an expensive one.
• 21:15
  Speaker 12: I highly recommend it.
• 21:17
  Speaker 11: Hey, one point on the debt. I did a little research.
• 21:20
  Speaker 11: One point on the debt to show people no. If
• 21:23
  Speaker 11: you liquidated everything the U.S. government owns, that'd be parks, bases, ships, aircraft, land,
• 21:33
  Speaker 11: it would be about 23, a little over $ 20 trillion.
• 21:37
  Speaker 11: So it wouldn't even cover half the debt that these
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: people have run up over the last 60 years.
• 21:45
  Speaker 12: And, you know, so..
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: That's hard for me to imagine it would only be
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: that amount of money, because last time I checked, really
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: the government owned about 70% of the western states to
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: land out in that arena.
• 21:58
  Speaker 11: In all fairness, the land is arguable. There wouldn't be
• 22:01
  Speaker 11: a market for it, right? So, I mean, if you
• 22:05
  Speaker 11: discounted the land, it's at least $ 20 trillion.
• 22:08
  Speaker 9: That's half the debt.
• 22:09
  Speaker 11: So in other words, the government is more than bankrupt.
• 22:12
  Speaker 12: It's way, way past bankrupt.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. It just isn't right that we're spending money today
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: that we don't have to saddle future generations with this debt.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: It morally is wrong, and it's just... I look at
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats. I don't think any of them give
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: a damn what that number is and what the effects
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: of it are. But when half of your tax dollars
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: coming in are going just to pay the interest on
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the debt, that's troubling to me because that's a waste
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: of a lot of your tax dollars. And it will
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: soon be your number one expense. You must stop this insanity.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: But there's no sign of it happening anytime soon. It's
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: just getting bigger and bigger. with this war going on
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: and everything else. Yeah, appreciate your insight, man.
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: Go ahead.
• 23:02
  Speaker 11: Yeah, thank you.
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: Thanks.
• 23:04
  Speaker 12: Yeah, one thing, it basically comes back to the Asian model.
• 23:07
  Speaker 11: If you take a look at Peter Zaihan, who's a
• 23:10
  Speaker 11: geopolitical expert. He's written a couple of books on the subject.
• 23:14
  Speaker 11: The Chinese and East Asian financial model is they don't
• 23:19
  Speaker 11: care about debt. They don't really consider debt. It's not
• 23:22
  Speaker 11: part of their culture. So they've accumulated a lot of debt,
• 23:25
  Speaker 11: but they don't care about it, right? Because it's just,
• 23:28
  Speaker 11: you know, in Japan for years, every so often they
• 23:32
  Speaker 11: just forgave everybody's debt.
• 23:35
  Speaker 12: You know, they just let it go. And Chinese have
• 23:40
  Speaker 12: run up a huge debt based on just growth. If
• 23:43
  Speaker 12: that growth doesn't occur..
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you can't forgive debt because there's a person
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: on the other side of it that you owe the
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: money to. When you take a loan out from your house,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: there's somebody, there's the bank and the people with the
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: money in the bank that have let you the money
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: to buy the house. If you forgive it, somebody gets screwed.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: It never fails. Just like when they say, well, we
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: want to forgive student debt. Well, that's all well and good.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: But the people that lent the money end up eating it.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. If you borrow it, you owe it.
• 24:14
  Speaker 11: It works in a communist society.
• 24:15
  Speaker 9: It works.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Well, we don't want to go there.
• 24:18
  Speaker 11: The government controls everything.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for your call. You're on the air.
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: Ron? Yes?
• 24:25
  Speaker 17: How are you?
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: It's the boss lady. It is exactly that. All right,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: boss lady, what's on your..
• 24:33
  Speaker 17: It is gorgeous, pal.
• 24:35
  Speaker 18: It is.
• 24:35
  Speaker 17: Alex had a great call yesterday.
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: I agree.
• 24:37
  Speaker 17: He's great. And I agree with a lot of what
• 24:40
  Speaker 17: he said, making a lot of good points. I think
• 24:42
  Speaker 17: Rich made a lot of good... Your last caller made a.
• 24:45
  Speaker 12: Lot of good points about the data centers.
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: And I think when you wrap.
• 24:49
  Speaker 17: Those all up, including what you added today, right, some
• 24:53
  Speaker 17: of the Are we going to have robots? We absolutely are.
• 24:56
  Speaker 17: What's the timeline? Is it going to replace all the jobs?
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 24:59
  Speaker 17: It sounds pretty crazy and far-fetched. None of us know, right?
• 25:04
  Speaker 17: But my position, I think, is pretty simple.
• 25:06
  Speaker 12: If the state wants to welcome data centers.
• 25:09
  Speaker 17: There needs to be a clear deal with the taxpayer.
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: It should be very transparent.
• 25:14
  Speaker 17: We really need, you know, they should be proving that
• 25:17
  Speaker 17: the investment that we're going to make is not going
• 25:22
  Speaker 17: to raise the cost for local residents through utility, infrastructure expenses,
• 25:28
  Speaker 17: or taxes, right? It's going to be that they can
• 25:33
  Speaker 17: mitigate and there won't be environmental impacts and that we're
• 25:38
  Speaker 17: not going to be left sitting here with a depleted
• 25:41
  Speaker 17: water supply and strained power grid and other consequences that
• 25:45
  Speaker 17: I don't even know what they could be, but I
• 25:48
  Speaker 17: feel like we're moving so fast. Does anybody really know?
• 25:50
  Speaker 17: And third and most importantly, it is a, if we're
• 25:57
  Speaker 17: going to become the hub and for AI infrastructure in
• 26:01
  Speaker 17: the U S and we want to get there fast,
• 26:03
  Speaker 17: then the state government should be leading by example. And taxpayers,
• 26:09
  Speaker 17: all of us, should be seeing a return on this
• 26:12
  Speaker 17: investment through lower government costs, faster services, greater accountability, and
• 26:17
  Speaker 17: we should be seeing a cost reduction.
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Now, let me ask you this. So as you're going along,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: would you and I be in agreement that, for example,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: like when they're talking about a data center being out
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: in two-thirds in Lordstown, one-third in North Jackson, when that
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: discussion was taking place? I said, okay, if you build it,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: and that was out by the freeway, which is a
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: good location for it. Let's embrace it. Let's not fight
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: it because it will, I'm just asking you, you know
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: how property taxes work. They're fixed levels on the... outside millage.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: So if you put a data center there and they're
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: huge and you put property taxes on it, which would
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: be substantial, I think you and I would agree on that,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: that will lower the cost of those fixed levies on
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the property taxes of people in North Jackson or Lordstown.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Their property taxes will come down because now you have
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: this big facility that will be paying property taxes and
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: picking up the difference between You understand what I'm saying?
• 27:19
  Speaker 17: Yeah, as you're saying it, right, but this is all, like,
• 27:22
  Speaker 17: new news, right? Like, they were trying to make these
• 27:25
  Speaker 17: deals where they were giving them all these large abatements
• 27:27
  Speaker 17: and everything else. As you stated today, I can agree
• 27:30
  Speaker 17: with you, right? If they were making, you know, step one,
• 27:33
  Speaker 17: you're not going to get..
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: There's zero abatements on any. Exactly. I don't want a
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: sales tax or anything. Listen, DeWine wouldn't have reversed himself
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: if it didn't get the publicity it was getting. DeWine
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: only reversed himself because the word got out that he
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: screwed us out at $ 2 billion, and it doesn't make
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: a lick of sense you're giving a sales tax break
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: to Facebook or Meta or Google. These are some of
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: the richest companies around.
• 28:00
  Speaker 17: It doesn't make a lick of sense.
• 28:01
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 28:02
  Speaker 17: And so that's the good part, right? And that's why
• 28:04
  Speaker 17: I think what you just said earlier, too, also makes
• 28:07
  Speaker 17: a lot of sense. When you said that Trump and
• 28:10
  Speaker 17: they sit in those meetings and everybody's like a bobblehead,
• 28:13
  Speaker 17: it makes me nauseous, too. I'm like, oh, my God.
• 28:15
  Speaker 17: First of all, he should be praising Marco Rubio up
• 28:19
  Speaker 17: and down and around the other side because he's the
• 28:22
  Speaker 17: best ever.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Well, let me put this forward.
• 28:26
  Speaker 17: It's okay to disagree, but you.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Can't with him.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: See, that caller, once again, he made an excellent point
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: when he said, and even though I support Trump, I
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: agree with his point to say when I watch these
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: cabinet meetings, oh, Mr. President, you're so wonderful. And it's
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: one official after the other, just a constant ass-kissing. And
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: it is nauseating. And it was John Kennedy and Robert
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Kennedy that when they had their meetings, they didn't want
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: everybody to agree with them. If you look at the
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Kennedy way, Kennedy's were smart. They said, well, you have
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: to understand your enemy to understand why they're doing what
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: they're doing. You have to think from their perspective, not
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: your perspective. I mean, it's a great strategy.
• 29:07
  Speaker 17: Every successful leader in the private sector wants their employees
• 29:11
  Speaker 17: to give it to them straight. They don't want it sugar-coated.
• 29:14
  Speaker 17: I want to know if I'm about to take the
• 29:16
  Speaker 17: train off the track. And if I'm hiring you and
• 29:19
  Speaker 17: I'm paying you a salary, I expect you to tell
• 29:22
  Speaker 17: me that. I expect you to say, I don't agree, boss.
• 29:25
  Speaker 17: Here's what my opinion is. And a great leader.
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: Is going to listen.
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: They're going to... And they analyze, and they may not.
• 29:32
  Speaker 17: Go with the suggestion from the employee, but it's always
• 29:35
  Speaker 17: going to make you think a different way, and it's
• 29:37
  Speaker 17: always good. And if you can't handle that... it's very frustrating.
• 29:41
  Speaker 17: It's what you said.
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: It's not it.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Well, you usually have, if you go back to the
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Cuban Missile Crisis, if you actually study that history where
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: they say all the military people were saying, gun hole,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: let's go get them, and all this kind of stuff,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: if Kennedy would have listened to them, You could see
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: where this would have headed as opposed to he listened
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: to their input and then ultimately they thought this decision
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: through so it didn't escalate into something much more severe.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: and I don't get that impression with Trump. I almost
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: like the guy was saying, no, but.
• 30:16
  Speaker 17: We knew what we were getting. Like we knew that
• 30:19
  Speaker 17: he didn't pain. He didn't pain. I mean, he is
• 30:22
  Speaker 17: very much you're on my team or you're not on
• 30:23
  Speaker 17: my team. And if you're on my team, then you
• 30:26
  Speaker 17: agree with what, how I want to do things the way,
• 30:29
  Speaker 17: you know, when I want to do them, et cetera. I,
• 30:31
  Speaker 17: As frustrating as it is, you get the good and
• 30:35
  Speaker 17: you get the bad with that. But he hasn't cleaned.
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: And in general, I mean, he's done a decent job
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: as president. Absolutely. And like I say, I'm not in
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: favor of what's going on as far as Iran is concerned.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: But I hope when the dust settles, he proves himself
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: right again and we're better off as a result of it.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: As opposed to the other. I would rather he be
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: right and I be wrong than I be right and
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: he be wrong.
• 31:03
  Speaker 19: Right.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: Me too.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Because if I'm right, then we're going to– this is
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: just going to drag on. I mean, when they're talking
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: a 60-day ceasefire, I mean, that's two months.
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: It's stupid.
• 31:14
  Speaker 17: First of all, you can't even negotiate with those people
• 31:16
  Speaker 17: because they have never once, not one time, have they
• 31:20
  Speaker 17: abided by any of the negotiations, never once. I just
• 31:23
  Speaker 17: find it insane. But listen, I'm not sitting in that room,
• 31:26
  Speaker 17: in the war room or whatever room they're in, and
• 31:29
  Speaker 17: I'm not privy to all the information. I'm sure he's
• 31:31
  Speaker 17: navigating very tough and delicate waters, and he's doing the
• 31:35
  Speaker 17: best decision, I believe, in the interest of the American people.
• 31:39
  Speaker 17: We'll see in the end if I'm right or wrong
• 31:41
  Speaker 17: on that too. But wouldn't you agree, Ron? That the
• 31:44
  Speaker 17: state should be streamlining, right? Because we talk about property tax.
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: We talk about.
• 31:49
  Speaker 17: The impact to the taxpayer.
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: They should be.
• 31:53
  Speaker 17: On the forefront of utilizing all this AI technology, right?
• 31:57
  Speaker 17: Those are the three bargains or the framework that I
• 32:03
  Speaker 17: would want. Doesn't involve the environment. It doesn't hurt the environment.
• 32:07
  Speaker 17: We're not going to be caught without water and electricity.
• 32:10
  Speaker 17: The fact that they're not going to give them all
• 32:11
  Speaker 17: these abatements and everything else and pass it on to
• 32:14
  Speaker 17: the taxpayer. And that they themselves are using this technology
• 32:19
  Speaker 17: to cut spending. And that should be an expectation from everybody,
• 32:25
  Speaker 17: don't you think?
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, I would say this to you. They should be
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: using the AI technology to stop the fraud. If we
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: did that alone, what we're seeing with Medicare and Medicaid,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: just to go after that fraud, think of just that alone.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Think of all the money we would save.
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: Just that alone.
• 32:44
  Speaker 17: But we're operating like Neanderthals right now. You realize we're operating.
• 32:49
  Speaker 17: We have paper. We're putting paper around offices. It's insane.
• 32:54
  Speaker 17: It's much of what Elon Musk did, right, when he said,
• 32:57
  Speaker 17: what do you think he used? I'm sure positive Elon
• 33:01
  Speaker 17: was using AI technology to identify areas of opportunity, redundancy,
• 33:07
  Speaker 17: duplicity within each of these departments. There is so much
• 33:11
  Speaker 17: waste there in the fraud, absolutely, 1,000%. But there is
• 33:16
  Speaker 17: so much waste and duplicity, and you don't need all
• 33:19
  Speaker 17: these roles. Give us back our money. And that's what
• 33:23
  Speaker 17: I want to see a legislator do, start focusing on
• 33:25
  Speaker 17: AI utilization at the state level.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Well, don't you think, though, that when this is all
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: going on, shouldn't there be somebody that's going out to–
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not opposed to people being on a payroll that
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: are going to say, hey, we're going to go check
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: on a boss lady who's getting a check because supposedly
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: she's taking care of her mother or father so that
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: they can stay at home. And we're going to pop
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: in to make sure that they're getting good care and
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: that this is happening. And then when I'm done with that,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go down and I'm going to check
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: on this one almost in groups just to see– that
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: the person's still alive, that this isn't fraud and phony.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: And then I'm going to go over here.
• 34:02
  Speaker 17: Yeah, you're going to need feet on the street, but
• 34:04
  Speaker 17: you're not going to need as many feet on the
• 34:06
  Speaker 17: street as you have today. You're still going, AI is
• 34:08
  Speaker 17: going to identify anomalies. It's going to say, this is
• 34:12
  Speaker 17: out of the norm, right? This person has been getting
• 34:15
  Speaker 17: this much money for this amount of time. Their mother's
• 34:17
  Speaker 17: age is this.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: It's going to..
• 34:19
  Speaker 17: You can program it to catch all of the added norms,
• 34:22
  Speaker 17: the extremes, right? So then once you have the extremes,
• 34:25
  Speaker 17: you may need a couple people on the ground to
• 34:27
  Speaker 17: go and actually do follow-up visits and not be blind.
• 34:30
  Speaker 17: But you're not going to need these massive departments that
• 34:35
  Speaker 17: we have today. If you're going to say that about
• 34:37
  Speaker 17: the private sector, it's even more true in the public
• 34:42
  Speaker 17: sector because it's our money.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: In other words, you'll have less people because AI will
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: be able to do some of these jobs. I don't
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: disagree with that, but that doesn't mean..
• 34:53
  Speaker 9: Don't you demand it?
• 34:53
  Speaker 17: Shouldn't we demand it? Not even just disagree.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, we should demand it. But in addition to that,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: I'm also going to demand that other jobs be created.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: to physically go see these leering centers and physically go
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: see the hospice.
• 35:09
  Speaker 17: It couldn't be a push. It couldn't be a push.
• 35:11
  Speaker 17: The idea here is to give back taxpayer dollars, not
• 35:14
  Speaker 17: to continue to create new ways to spend the money.
• 35:16
  Speaker 17: As long as we're being effective and you first have
• 35:19
  Speaker 17: to see, are we being effective? Are we texting it?
• 35:22
  Speaker 17: Like we know that there's X amount of billions of.
• 35:24
  Speaker 16: Fraud out there.
• 35:25
  Speaker 17: They just, whatever they're like, who's.
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: Doing anything about it? Like, I don't want a one
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: for one.
• 35:30
  Speaker 12: Like that doesn't make any sense.
• 35:34
  Speaker 17: How do we ever expect to get any of our
• 35:36
  Speaker 17: money back or to stop getting..
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Well, let me lay this on you. Government has a role.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: There is a difference between government and business. I think
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: you would agree. I mean, government isn't a business. I mean,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: when you call a fire department, there's no money to
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: be made by the fire department. It's there to serve
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: you as a government entity to put out your house.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: When you call the police... there's not a service that's...
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Stand by, boss lady. Just stand by, and I'll pick
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: up my thought with you on that when we come
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: back in a minute. News Radio 570 WKBN. We're on
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: verb 352 in the afternoon.
• 36:12
  Speaker 9: News, weather, and talk station. 570 WKBN.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: All right, so let me go back here with the
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: boss lady. I mean, when we talk a lot about
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: government and business, there is a difference, though, and you've
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: been in the private sector all your life, between government
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: and business. That's the point I was trying to make.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: We're not making a product in governments to sell and
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: make a profit. A lot of government is services that
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: are out there to prevent chaos from being in our society.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: we're not making money as far as the police are concerned.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: They're there to maintain order or the fire department or
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: the road departments to plow the streets so you can
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: get to work. So there is a difference between the
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: private sector and governments.
• 36:55
  Speaker 17: But we're not talking about those roles, right? We're talking
• 37:00
  Speaker 17: about paper pushing, data entry positions, forms, applications, summarizing reports,
• 37:09
  Speaker 17: meeting notes.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: You're saying we can eliminate a lot of jobs with
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: AI in the private sector, as we've seen, and they
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: should also be doing that in the government sector. And
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: all I'm saying is, I agree with that. However, that
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean you don't have... We should also create jobs
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: to physically go see who's getting this money so that
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: this fraud doesn't continue on that end.
• 37:34
  Speaker 17: And I'm saying we're going to cut enough to do–
• 37:38
  Speaker 17: we should be able to cut enough to be able
• 37:41
  Speaker 17: to add some– but you don't want to do a one-for-one.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying a one-for-one, but I want to stop
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: the fraud.
• 37:50
  Speaker 17: Absolutely. A thousand percent. We need to. And we need to..
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, you don't see much of a difference between
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Tampon Tim and DeWine, do you? I mean, to me,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: it's like..
• 38:00
  Speaker 9: No, not at all.
• 38:01
  Speaker 17: I mean, he's a complete weak. And he does nothing
• 38:03
  Speaker 17: until people start screaming and acting crazy. Like, once you
• 38:07
  Speaker 17: hear there's an uproar, then he might move a little bit.
• 38:10
  Speaker 17: And he's a little bit at a time. He probably..
• 38:13
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: But..
• 38:16
  Speaker 17: We need more pressure on them to figure out more
• 38:19
  Speaker 17: efficient ways. Now, if that means they want to add
• 38:22
  Speaker 17: a couple jobs here and there to help substantiate and
• 38:27
  Speaker 17: to drive these initiatives, that's fine. But there will be
• 38:31
  Speaker 17: way more reduction than there would be added jobs. Their
• 38:34
  Speaker 17: role is to do it, do it well, do it efficiently,
• 38:36
  Speaker 17: and save us money.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 38:38
  Speaker 17: The private sector is differently. It's to make money. Their
• 38:41
  Speaker 17: job is to achieve all of these things, safety, right,
• 38:46
  Speaker 17: all these services, all of these things, roads, school, all
• 38:49
  Speaker 17: these things. But they should be doing it at the
• 38:52
  Speaker 17: cheapest cost to the taxpayer.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: When you talk about the private sector, and I will
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: leave you with this, one of the things that's starting
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: to bother me a lot is I understand business and
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: making money, but when you go to your doctor... You
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: and you have a problem. You want somebody that's going
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: to be looking at your health issues and have your
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: have concern over what to do and get you feeling better.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Not to say I can only spend four minutes with
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: this person because I sold my practice down to this organization.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I got to see so many patients a day because
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: it's all about the money. I'm afraid so much is
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: being in private sector is becoming all about the money
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: that we're forgetting some of the purpose of it when
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: it comes to the medical field and some other fields
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: as well. I just think that that's a travesty that
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: we got going on where it's become too much all
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: about the money in the private sector and not about
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: the service.
• 39:45
  Speaker 17: Well, the government is making the private sector respond. The government,
• 39:49
  Speaker 17: because of their reimbursement to the private sector, is putting
• 39:53
  Speaker 17: pressure on the private.
• 39:54
  Speaker 12: Sector to have to respond.
• 40:01
  Speaker 9: From ABC News. I'm Mike Dabusky.
• 40:05
  Speaker 20: A potential peace deal with Iran could include the reopening
• 40:08
  Speaker 20: of the Strait of Hormuz and a commitment from Iran
• 40:10
  Speaker 20: to draw down its supply of enriched uranium, according to
• 40:13
  Speaker 20: President Trump. But Iranian state media says the president's characterization
• 40:18
  Speaker 20: of the draft proposal is not accurate. More from ABC's
• 40:21
  Speaker 20: Christiane Cordero.
• 40:22
  Speaker 21: Iran, according to state media. is rejecting the idea that
• 40:26
  Speaker 21: they are going to let traffic move freely through the
• 40:30
  Speaker 21: Strait of Hormuz without the tolls that they had previously
• 40:33
  Speaker 21: mentioned that they would impose. Those are the things that
• 40:35
  Speaker 21: they were working on Oman with, by the way. And
• 40:39
  Speaker 21: they're also making no mention of the nuclear program in
• 40:43
  Speaker 21: that there's no agreement, but rather they're calling it a
• 40:46
  Speaker 21: commitment for a commitment. So in other words, saying we're
• 40:48
  Speaker 21: not going to talk about this issue right now.
• 40:50
  Speaker 20: President Trump wrapping up a meeting with aides earlier today,
• 40:53
  Speaker 20: still weighing whether or not to extend the ceasefire with
• 40:56
  Speaker 20: Iran as negotiations continue. A big legal setback for the
• 41:00
  Speaker 20: president's plans for the Kennedy Center.
• 41:02
  Speaker 22: A federal judge said Friday that President Trump can't close
• 41:05
  Speaker 22: or rename the Kennedy Center, ruling that it can't be
• 41:08
  Speaker 22: officially named for anyone else unless Congress approves it.
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: U.S.
• 41:12
  Speaker 22: District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled that the rebranding of the
• 41:15
  Speaker 22: Kennedy Center as the Trump Kennedy Center is a violation
• 41:18
  Speaker 22: of the law, and he ordered that Trump's name be
• 41:20
  Speaker 22: removed from the building.
• 41:21
  Speaker 23: Within two weeks of this order. Karen Travers, ABC News,
• 41:25
  Speaker 23: the White House.
• 41:25
  Speaker 20: In Laos, a dramatic rescue effort is underway after a
• 41:29
  Speaker 20: group of miners found themselves trapped in a cave following
• 41:32
  Speaker 20: a flash flood last week.
• 41:33
  Speaker 24: This is an extremely delicate operation. Each person will have
• 41:37
  Speaker 24: to be brought to the surface one by one. Six
• 41:40
  Speaker 24: additional divers have arrived to help with this rescue mission,
• 41:43
  Speaker 24: and we're told that they needed thinner divers.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: To reach the area where all of this is unfolding.
• 41:47
  Speaker 24: So it does give you a sense of the terrain
• 41:52
  Speaker 24: and how difficult this mission is.
• 41:54
  Speaker 20: ABC's Marcus Moore, you're listening to ABC News.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: And so welcome 406 in the afternoon, 79 degrees. It's
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: a gorgeous Friday afternoon here on NewsRadio 570 WKVN. There
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: are times I'll tell you something. I sit here and
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: some of the callers, I think to myself, God, I'd
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: love to have them in political offices locally and how
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: much better I think the community would be. I'm just
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: and give them a chance to do it. You hear
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: me brag all the time about Rich, a pharmacist. I
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: tell you, I'd vote for him for any office he
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: would run for. I'd love to see Rich, a pharmacist
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: as as a Mahoning County commissioner, I would really enjoy
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: seeing the boss lady as a Mahoning County commissioner. I'm
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: just thinking these are, to me, these are people that
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: are pretty sharp and could make a difference in the
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: community's best interest and in a taxpayer's best interest. It
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: would almost be the best of both worlds to a
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: large extent. I mean, I could live with Rich, a pharmacist,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: I could live with the boss lady and Ted the conservative.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: How about if those three were all your Mahoning County commissioners? Honestly,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: I think they would do an outstanding job. And how
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: about G2 as governor? No, okay, I'm done with that.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: News Radio 570, WQN, you're on the air.
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: I'd jump off a bridge.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: I think I'd push you.
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 43:17
  Speaker 12: Then it would make my decision a lot easier.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: I would catch you. You know that. I would be
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: there to catch you. And keep in mind, J.J., J.J.,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: the liberal folks, keep in mind when there would be
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: one set of footprints in the sand, it's because I
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: would be carrying you.
• 43:35
  Speaker 25: Yeah, right.
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: No, it's because you murdered me. You don't have to
• 43:37
  Speaker 6: carry me in that mind.
• 43:40
  Speaker 16: Anyway, I'm wondering, I've.
• 43:41
  Speaker 6: Been listening to, you know, about what the 60-day crap is. And,
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: you know, we're good if you know that when we
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: leave this, it's going to be worse than we had before.
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: You know that we had... We had people going in
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: on a daily basis or weekly basis to monitor their
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: enriched uranium and plutonium and making sure that they didn't
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: have the centrifuges to do their work. And we kept
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: their money. Remember, I told you we took it as sanctions.
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: And now I just don't understand it because we didn't
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: have to pay a toll.
• 44:14
  Speaker 16: Now we're going.
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: To have to wind up doing it.
• 44:16
  Speaker 16: It's all a rouge.
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: You see, there's no there's no bombing going on other
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: than you hear it every now and then. And what
• 44:23
  Speaker 6: happened to the Israelis? The Israelis were there in the beginning.
• 44:27
  Speaker 9: Boy, they're bombing.
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: After that, that colonel went down and we went to
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: go find them. Remember, you were talking about a wonderful
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: job that those those military people did to find him
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: up on that ridge.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: They really had no they made no effort.
• 44:40
  Speaker 14: None.
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: So now where are they now? Where are they now?
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: I don't want you to hear about, you know, hear about,
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: which is named nothing. I don't want you to hear
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: about anything about him. It's interesting that they may.
• 44:49
  Speaker 16: It's now our war.
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: But we were worried about, they were going to bomb
• 44:54
  Speaker 6: them first. And then they were going to come after us.
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: That was one of the reasons, right, Ron? Remember they
• 44:58
  Speaker 6: said that they were going to go after the Israelis.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: Hey, JJ.
• 45:02
  Speaker 16: We had to be preemptive.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: You're not going to get a big argument from me,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: as most of you know, that have listened.
• 45:08
  Speaker 9: Listen.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Listen. I thought we dropped the bunker buster and that
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: took care of business. And I was just reading the
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: other day where they said, well, to get all of
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: this dust and that kind of stuff, it's way down
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: buried deep because of the bunker buster. So it's not
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: an issue. I mean, listen, I've said it before. I'll
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: say it to you again. This is a mess. This
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: is an absolute mess. It's my business. that Trump got
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: into this because of Israel and Netanyahu. I don't know
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: why he did a 180. I don't know why the
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: guy that says I'm against regime changes and forever wars
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: in the Middle East reversed his position on Epstein and
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: reversed his position on this situation. I'm bewildered by it.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: But I think that Israel talked him into this and
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: it is a mess. It is an absolute mess.
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: Now they're silent. They're invisible, the Israelis. You don't hear anything.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: I think they have a great, great presence right now.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: They're not invisible. They have such influence into what's going on.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying to you, I hope I'm wrong. As
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: an American, like I said to you, I didn't support
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden, but I wish Joe Biden would have been
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: the best president ever because that would benefit me and
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: my country. You follow me?
• 46:37
  Speaker 6: I'm hoping you would say that because that's what I say.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: But so, yes. Right. So whether you like Trump or not,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: you better hope he's a good president because that's what's
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: best for the country. But in this particular situation, and
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: I upset some of the mega cults and it is
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: a cult. Because I'm saying that I think he got
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: involved in this because of Israel and Netanyahu. I think
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: that this was a mistake, in my opinion. And now
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: I always acknowledge, I always give the acknowledgement, they know
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: more of what's going on than I do. So I'm
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: giving you it from afar. I think it's a mistake.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: And I sit back and I wonder, where do you
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: think this economy would have been if we never would
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: have got involved in this? Gas was a $ 2. 50 a gallon.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Inflation was coming down. The market was doing good, stock market,
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: employment was doing good. Everything was going in the right
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: direction because you have really some brilliant business minds.
• 47:33
  Speaker 9: Running the economy.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: All of that got reversed overnight. All of that got
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: reversed because of this one decision. So you have some
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: of these great financial minds saying that you could see 6%
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: inflation in the second quarter.
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: 6% inflation.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: On top of what you already have, which is ridiculous.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: We're in trouble, Ron.
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: They're struggling. We're barely making it ourselves. We're better off
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: than a lot of people. We're worse off than a
• 48:05
  Speaker 6: lot of people. I've tightened my belt so much that
• 48:09
  Speaker 6: my colonel and my two sergeants are swelling up. My
• 48:14
  Speaker 6: belt's so tight. So it's, you know, you got to, it's,
• 48:20
  Speaker 6: I'm surprised I don't get you. I don't sound like Tigger.
• 48:22
  Speaker 6: I sound like Michael Jackson. It bothers me because I
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: sit here and I listen to those commercials and I'm
• 48:30
  Speaker 6: walking around in the garage and playing, doing some playing today.
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: And I'm going, you know, we're going to wind up
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: being worse off. Even after it's all said and done,
• 48:40
  Speaker 6: and I told you before, what is the end game?
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: If you're saying that.
• 48:43
  Speaker 6: You don't want them to have a nuclear weapon, what
• 48:46
  Speaker 6: do they need to do to prove to us that
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: they're not going to? Or we're just going to be
• 48:51
  Speaker 6: in this for continuous, or, you know, I don't understand
• 48:54
  Speaker 6: where this gets got to be. There's got to be
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: an end game to that. You're going to say, if
• 48:59
  Speaker 6: you do these things, then we will no longer.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this. Back up on me.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: What if they say to you, wait a minute, you
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: don't run our country. We're a country of 93 million people,
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: and we're going to have a nuclear weapon like North
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Korea has. And we're going to have one like Israel
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: has to protect us from being attacked. as well. And
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: so who are you to tell us that we can't
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: have that?
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: So we're going to remember at one thing to run
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: and i had to say this if i am not
• 49:31
  Speaker 6: i i believe in god and i'm not a religious
• 49:33
  Speaker 6: person but you know you've been rich always.
• 49:35
  Speaker 12: Said that they they want you know they're gonna have a.
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: Forty two birds in the forty seven birds and whatever
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: it's need to keep to the king judea or judas
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: rogers and that religion in the christian religion There's something
• 49:48
  Speaker 6: bad becoming of the... Jesus has to come again. That
• 49:51
  Speaker 6: has to be the end of the world that way.
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: They don't have in the Koran of anything that they
• 49:56
  Speaker 6: are going to try to cause.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I haven't read the Koran. All I'm
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: saying to you is, outside of all of this, I'll
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: say it again. I don't understand their culture or their
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: view of life or their way of life. I can't assume...
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: They think like I do because they do not. It's
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: a much different culture, different history, different part of the world.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: So as Kennedy once said, to understand the enemy, you
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: better try to figure out why they think like they think.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: So I don't think that– Listen, as I said, once
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: and once again.
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: If they're as crazy as everybody says they are, they
• 50:38
  Speaker 6: could have gotten a nuclear weapon. Which is named Nixon
• 50:43
  Speaker 6: the other day on the 5th. He said that they
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: want to that they're going to since we bombed them already,
• 50:49
  Speaker 6: that if we don't wipe them out clean. And we
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: just kill them all. If we don't do that, then
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: they're going to hold a vengeance against us, and they're
• 50:57
  Speaker 6: going to come back later on, and they're going to bomb.
• 50:59
  Speaker 9: Us later on.
• 50:59
  Speaker 6: So I'm saying, basically, we caused our own demise.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't go for that either.
• 51:07
  Speaker 9: I know you don't.
• 51:08
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to say anything about that. It just
• 51:10
  Speaker 6: bothers me that when you're saying things like that, that.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Doesn't make any sense. Settle down and enjoy your weekend.
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: All right?
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Take it easy.
• 51:19
  Speaker 12: Thank you, my friend. Thank you for listening.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: Listen, I know a lot of you can either agree
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: or disagree. I can only give you my initial thoughts
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: on all of this. And I look at this situation, folks,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: and I think it is genuinely a mess. And I
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: wish we would have never gotten involved in this from
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: the very beginning. So I thought when we dropped the
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: bunker buster, that was the end of it. But apparently,
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: for whatever, and it seemed very effective. And even now
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: I'm reading, well, you can't get all of the stuff
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: that they want because it's buried so deep in a mountain,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: it'd be dangerous. But apparently, as I say, in my view,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Trump gave in, did a 180 on his own position
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: with Netanyahu and Israel and was influenced by them to
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: get involved in this situation. And I sincerely believe that
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: the administration thought this would be over much sooner than
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: it is, and it's not. And it just continues to
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: go on. I just ask all of you, listen, I
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: believe in America first. I believe in America first. I
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: believe that's what's most important to me. I agree with
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Thomas Massey. I don't believe in foreign aid. I don't
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: believe a country that's $ 40 trillion in debt and growing
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: should be giving billions of dollars to anybody. I don't
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: care if it's Israel, Egypt, or anybody else, because we're broke.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: I think we better concentrate on our own country first
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: and our own people first. As I've said to you before,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: there are big financial problems with Social Security, big financial
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: problems with Medicare and Medicaid. These are programs that affect
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: the American people. We can't afford to be giving billions
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: of dollars. Massey, I totally agree with that. And I
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: don't want to get tangled up in these foreign situations
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: that we've been tied up for for years. We haven't
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: done very good in any of them since Vietnam. You
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: can even make the argument if you go back to Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: I've said this to you before and I'll say it
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: to you again. What did all of those young men
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: die for in Afghanistan? Were the ones that lost arms
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: and legs or burnt that survived? What was the point
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: of it? When it was all said and done, we left.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: The country went back to the terrorists in better shape
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: than when we took it with all the equipment left behind.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: So what was the point of all that sacrifice? The
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: heartache with parents who lost sons and daughters or whose
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: lives were forever changed. What was the point of it?
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not... I'm not a fan of Victoria Nuland. I'm
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: not a fan of the regime changes. I think what
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: most of the stuff we did in the Middle East
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: has been a failure. It's so far from our country
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: to begin with. Logistically, it's a nightmare.
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: And..
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: As a Trump voter, and I think he's done more
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: right than wrong, I still say... Why did he reverse himself?
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: Most of you, none of you were staying up at
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: night worrying about the nuclear threat from Iran until you
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: were kind of sold it by the neocons. I was
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: not worried about it, and I'm not worried about it today.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: If they would pull something with the United States, it
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: would be wiped out in the blink of an eye.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: So I thought the bunker buster solved all this. Then
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: we did the big bombing campaign. I thought we got
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: them now. They're on the ropes. They're going to come
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: back and they're going to reach an agreement. Well, they didn't.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: They didn't surrender. We want unconditional surrender. We want disagreements. Well,
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: they're going along with none of this stuff. Then a
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: discussion of, well, we'll bomb them some more. What do
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: they say? The, the, uh, Definition of insanity is doing
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: the same thing over and over and expecting different outcomes. Well,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: bomb them some more and then they'll come to the
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: negotiating table. Well, what makes you think it's going to
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: work then? As we deplete all of our missiles and
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: all of our supply chains. And I'm supposed to look
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: around and say, let's pursue this and stay on this course.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: And God, I hope I'm wrong. I hope it all
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: works out. But now we got a 60-day ceasefire. What's
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: going to happen between then and now? So it's wrong
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: to look at America first to say I'm concerned about
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: the inflation you're paying for your family and your finances
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: and what energy is costing you. Yes, I know oil
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: prices have come down. They could go up tomorrow. Yes,
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: I know the market's up and the market's down. But
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: consumer confidence isn't good. There's an uncertainty out there. And
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: there's economic situations that are going on in this country.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: And that's what we should be worried about. So I
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: really sincerely believe he got involved in this mess because
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: of that. 570 WKBN. And Ron Verb, you're on the air.
• 57:18
  Speaker 14: Ron Verb, your personal porn account has been hacked. Police
• 57:22
  Speaker 14: have been notified. But if you get me a gift
• 57:25
  Speaker 14: card to my local gas station, I might be able
• 57:27
  Speaker 14: to make this all go away.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: Hey, let me go get the card right now and
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: get it your way, because I certainly don't want my
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: Pornhub account getting hacked.
• 57:38
  Speaker 14: Hey, I saw gas for $ 3. 99 a gallon yesterday. I
• 57:42
  Speaker 14: think it was on Route 14, I guess, Swift Mart
• 57:46
  Speaker 14: or something.
• 57:47
  Speaker 26: So, I mean, that's kind of good news.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: Well, I saw it today at like $ 4.
• 57:50
  Speaker 7: 40 is..
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: Where it's at. But listen, I'm going to ask you again,
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: had we never got involved in this situation in the
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: first place, when we were around $ 2. 50 a gallon, and
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: the inflation was coming down, where do you think the
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: economy would be right now? It'd be in a much
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: better place than it is currently.
• 58:11
  Speaker 26: Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
• 58:14
  Speaker 14: Like, JJ was saying that, you know, if we didn't
• 58:21
  Speaker 14: get involved, that We'd still be in trouble, though. And
• 58:26
  Speaker 14: that's the way I interpreted it. I might have had
• 58:29
  Speaker 14: him wrong.
• 58:30
  Speaker 8: I'm not sure.
• 58:31
  Speaker 14: But I was calling about the AI.
• 58:33
  Speaker 27: Yes.
• 58:34
  Speaker 14: So how's this AI working for you when you go
• 58:38
  Speaker 14: to a fast food place and you've got to go
• 58:42
  Speaker 14: up to the.
• 58:42
  Speaker 26: Kiosk to order?
• 58:44
  Speaker 14: And not the whole menu is on the kiosk. So
• 58:47
  Speaker 14: then if you want something special, you've got to find
• 58:49
  Speaker 14: somebody in the restaurant.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: You don't know how to use a kiosk. If you
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: go to McDonald's and you use it, you can order
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: it without mustard or onions or whatever. You just got to–
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: you need– there's artificial intelligence and then there's uh ui
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: me right yeah the unknown caller intelligence there's ui and
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: you need to improve the ui.
• 59:14
  Speaker 14: Well i mean you go you go to your um
• 59:18
  Speaker 14: local home improvement store and there's like three people watching
• 59:22
  Speaker 14: you try to check out they're laughing at you and
• 59:25
  Speaker 14: you're trying to check out how's that AI working out.
• 59:29
  Speaker 26: For you, Ronnie?
• 59:30
  Speaker 14: It's not working out for me anyhow.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: I just want, listen, I just wonder on any of
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: the self-checkouts, I'm glad there are people that are keeping
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: an eye on them, but how much stuff is stolen
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: or how much security do you have to have to
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: make sure people don't scan every other item or steal
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: stuff when they're doing the self-checkout? Is it really, really
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: worth it?
• 59:54
  Speaker 14: You go to Walmart and there's, like 17 cameras on
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 14: each kiosk there. I mean, you're checking out, and there's
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 14: your picture checking out, and they got, like, cameras all
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 14: over this place. You could follow someone through Walmart, like,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 14: the entire way. I don't know about the restrooms. You know,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 14: you might be able to see you go in. But, hey,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 14: Boss Lady made a good point, though, about AI eliminating
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 14: government jobs, but What's the chances that's actually going to happen?
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 14: Are the Democrats going to let them eliminate government jobs?
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 26: I find that hard to believe.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: Well, a lot of times it's difficult for people to
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: accept it, but technology does eliminate jobs. It doesn't matter
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: if people want to let them or not. That's just
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: the reality. You can't fight it.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 14: Hey, G2 had a good, what was it, Wednesday? His last,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 14: that hour on Wednesday?
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 14: I thought that was quite insightful, though, about all the
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 14: AI and that.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did, too. That and the ticks when he
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: was talking about them.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 14: Oh, yeah, the anti-beef ticks.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 28: Yeah.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 14: Not going to be able to eat meat?
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 14: My gosh, that would be terrible.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, what would you eat?
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 14: You'd have to turn into a vegan.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine if they ever come up with a
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: tick that says I can't eat pizza? That's where I
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: draw the line.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 26: Hey, one more thing.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: I got to go. News Radio 570 WKVABN. All right,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: back to it. 436 in the afternoon. Nice day. 79
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: degrees on this Friday, May 29th, and you're on the air.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 18: Ron, how you doing?
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: Good. Go ahead.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 18: Hey, I was reading an article earlier today. about an
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 18: executive order that Donald Trump signed earlier this year. Basically,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 18: what the executive order was, it was pulling out of
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 18: a 13-country kind of collaboration where these countries were starting
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 18: to impose taxes on on offshore accounts like tax havens
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 18: in the Cayman Islands and things like that. These countries
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 18: are really pushing to start to tax the money that
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 18: gets stored in there. And Donald Trump pulled us out
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 18: of it. And what this article is saying is that
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 18: just reviewing the companies who are involved in that stuff,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 18: that they're estimated to save around $ 40 billion this year,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 18: just those companies saving their money in those tax savings.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 18: That's how much money they're saving in taxes. Just wanted
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 18: to know your thoughts on that.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 29: I don't know.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: I haven't read anything about it, and I don't know
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: enough about it how a legitimate company I don't know
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: how legitimate companies do it as far as their accounting
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: is concerned. So you're saying a legitimate company makes this
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: much money in profit and they don't pay tax on
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: it because they bank in the Cayman Islands? Yeah, exactly right.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: I don't understand from a tax standpoint how that's even feasible.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, I realized in the past it used to
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: be where your corporate headquarters were and that loophole was closed.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: so I don't really know too much about it to
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: comment on it. I would have to really study that
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: and ask Andrew Smith or some CPA about it to
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: even look into it. You're talking to a guy that's,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: when you talk a bank account, I think Huntington or
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: West Banco or whatever, I don't think Cayman Islands.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 18: Do you?
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 9: No, no.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 18: I mean, obviously, you've got to have lawyers, access to
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 18: a lot of money to be able to manage that.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 26: Kind of thing.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm not against anybody that's doing anything
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: that's legal. This idea that, oh, this person paid no
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: taxes because they took legitimate deductions, I don't have a
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: problem with that at all. That's what the tax code is.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: I'm for everybody. I don't know anybody that doesn't file
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: their taxes that doesn't want to take advantage of any
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: legal tax break that they get. It is your money,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: and you want to keep as much of it as
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: you can. There's no sin in that.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 18: Yeah, but, I mean, wouldn't you say that that's our
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 18: money if those companies are, you know, not making a
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 18: good-faith effort in order to pay what they should be paying?
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know what they should be paying, and I
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: don't know what the legalities of it is. I mean,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: I genuinely plead ignorance on it. I do not know
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: enough about it to even render an opinion on it.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard for me to imagine, like, General
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: Motors has these accounts in the Cayman Islands. I would
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: highly doubt it. I mean, what companies are they talking about?
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 18: It was pretty reputable ones. I can't recall off the
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 18: top of my head, but it was definitely names that
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 18: you would know, like really big brands, things like that.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 18: It was in the New York Times. I could send
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 18: it over to you.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: I thought that.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 9: Was very interesting.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: I can just talk to you in general because I
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: just don't know enough about it. If things are legal
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: and you can take advantage of them to save money,
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: that's how the system works. I can't fault you for
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: doing that i mean don't you take every deduction you're
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: entitled to when you file your taxes i don't know
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: anybody that doesn't.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 9: Uh..
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 18: Yeah i mean do you uh... yeah you're right you're
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 18: right i don't disagree i mean that's why he had
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 18: to sign the executive order to pull us out of
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 18: that you know we were in a collaboration that was
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 18: trying to impose taxes and limit that stuff Well.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: All I can remember being discussed was they wanted to
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: have a global tax, and I'm opposed to this global stuff.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: I'm opposed to the World Trade Organization. I'm opposed to
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: the World Health Organization, and I'd be opposed to a
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: global tax. I am not for giving up the sovereignty
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: of the United States of America or to start operating–
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: who are trade policies being determined by the world trade
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: organization or health policies by the world health organization i'm
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: totally opposed to global taxes in that sense.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 18: What the way i would push back on that is
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 18: that i'm not i don't disagree with you really there
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 18: but we have uh... corporations that on you know that
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 18: existing potty u s they're basically bigger then the majority
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 18: of all other countries in the so and that they
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 18: think that they're dealing with the money the way they
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 18: pay taxes, the way they run their finances, it's deeply disturbing.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 18: I'll tell you, that's one of the main reasons that
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 18: our country is suffering.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know that it's– we're suffering because of bad
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: management and spending issues. That's why we're suffering. We're not
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: suffering because of people not paying enough in taxes. I
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: hear this nonsense.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 18: Yeah, but I just told you that all these companies
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 18: are starting just this year $ 40 billion.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: But I don't know what the legalities of it are.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: Just because you're saying it doesn't mean I should say, oh,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: that's terrible. I don't know what they're paying. Listen, here's
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: basic economics. Let me lay this on you from a
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: basic economic standpoint, which was taught to me many, many,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: many years ago. If General Motors sold everything that they owned,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: every plant, every piece of equipment, everything that they owned,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: and had billions of dollars when it was all said
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: and done, and put that money in an S &
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: P 500 fund, or put that money in a bank
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: account at 4%, you better hope that they make more
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: money building cars than they do doing that. Because if
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: they don't make more money being in business, what's the
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: point of being in business?
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 18: Oh, hey, Ron, I love that point. I could sit
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 18: for a long time about that.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: So any company that wants to take legitimate business deductions
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: or whatever they are that are legal, I can't fault
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: them for that. Most of these companies, you know, when
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: you watch that interview with Bezos the other day from
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: Amazon and the amount of money he pays in taxes...
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: and the amount of jobs he's created, and they want
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: to make him out like he's some evil guy. Well,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. I want you to be able to
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: keep as much of your money as is possible. I
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: start with a basic premise. It's your money to start with.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: I believe government is taking too much of your money
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: and pissing way too much of it away on wasteful spending,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: which we are seeing on a state level in Ohio
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: and in Minnesota and on a federal level with the government,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: how much of your money of your hard-earned dollars is
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: taken that is wasted. And I mean, wasted away on
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: special interest in these non-government agencies and for political purposes.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: This is insanity. That's why it's more difficult for people
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: to plan for their retirement than to have some of
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: the luxuries of life that should come their way from
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: working hard. I don't think when you talk about taxes,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: it's a spending problem. Good God, we're trillions in debt
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: because we're spending too damn much money.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 18: Well, let me go back to what you kind of
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 18: said at the beginning there. You said, you know, I
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 18: completely agree with that, that if you have a company
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 18: who's just managing money, they're not producing things, and they
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 18: are making more money by just managing the money than
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 18: they would producing things, that's obviously bad. Now, there's a
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 18: really fascinating book that came out maybe a decade ago
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 18: called Capital in the 21st Century, written by this guy
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 18: Thomas Piketty. He's kind of a French economist. What he
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 18: basically did is went over the last basically 300 years,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 18: bringing as much financial data as he could across the
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 18: whole globe, Europe, finances, America, He didn't do too much
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 18: China and things like that, but basically what the thrust
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 18: of his argument, it was like a 900-page book, just
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 18: graph after graph after graph. And basically the thrust of
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 18: his argument was that what we have now, and this
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 18: is the normal operation of human society, is that the
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 18: people who have wealth, you know, like it could be
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 18: the aristocrats 300 years ago, could be the king, could
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 18: be the business owners now, that if the rate of
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 18: growth of their financial wealth exceeds the growth of the
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 18: production capacity of an economy, then you're in trouble. And
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 18: that's basically, so what happened is, You know, basically because
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 18: of World War II, things like that, you know, a
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 18: lot of the big shakeup that happened in the 20th century,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 18: the 21st century or whatever, in the 1940s, that basically
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 18: that shook up the whole globe enough that what you
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 18: had was the financial markets that basically were equalized. In Europe,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 18: they were completely destroyed. In Russia, they were destroyed. And
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 18: so all that wealth that was bottled up in the
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 18: top and the people who managed, you know, like I said,
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 18: you could view them as like aristocrats. I would be
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 18: able to say the people who are managing that money.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 6: And what happened in the.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 18: 1940s, Zach, all got wiped out. And basically all that
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 18: money got spread out through the economy. So if you
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 18: look at, you know, the... you know, how equal people
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 18: were in America in the 1950s and 60s versus now,
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 18: it was way more equal. You know, the people working
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 18: at a business were making, you know, maybe three, four,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 18: five times less than the CEO. Today, an average worker
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 18: is making 200 to 300 to 500 times less than
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 18: a CEO. And like I said, that's the normal operation
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 18: of human civilization. It's not like we're all just equal.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 18: We all get a fair shot at making money. You know,
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 18: things like that. That's not how it works. And I
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 18: just really think that book, Capital in the 21st Century,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 18: basically laid it out.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: It was just... So where do you want me to
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: go with that? Do you want me to say..
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 18: Well, what I'm saying is the only way to control
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 18: that money getting bottled up at the top It's to
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 18: take it from them. You've got to tax it. If
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 18: they're going to hoard it at the top, not let it...
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 18: You know, a lot of people used to say..
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay. The idea that the answer is take it
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: from them. I don't agree with that at all. It's
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: not up to me. I'm not on the board to
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: determine what we should pay Mary Barra, the CEO of
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: General Motors. I'm not... on the team that says we're
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: going to pay LeBron James this much money. There's a
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: reason why they pay LeBron that much money. They think
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: he's worth it. They think he can make a winning team,
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: and they think they can get a good return as
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: a result of that investment.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 18: You complain a lot about how the people in your
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 18: community can't pay their... The taxes on their house, why
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 18: is that?
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: I can answer that question. Because the taxes have gotten
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: so high.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 30: They're not high.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 18: The houses have increased. They haven't raised taxes in any way.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: The property tax burden per month has gone through the roof.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: The problem is how much you're being taxed and how
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: much money is taken. Your attitude is, well, it's because
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: they're not earning enough. No, it's because too much is
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: taken from them.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 18: There is no way to control housing prices other than taxes.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 18: You can't do it. Taxes are the thing that control
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 18: housing prices.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: Really? How does taxes control housing prices?
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 18: Well, right now, I mean, like you just said, the
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 18: taxes are too high, so people can't really buy houses.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 18: So that means if you're not going to be buying houses,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 18: the household price should go down. If you want to sell,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 18: no one's buying. You've got to lower your price.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: So we would call that the market, would we not?
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: We would say..
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 18: Well, taxes are a part of the market, yeah.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, so if the market says that house price has
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: gone so high that the average person can't afford it,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: and the market has to adjust to be able to
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: find buyers, as they do in any product, I don't
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: care if you're selling a 2x4 or you're selling an automobile,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: if it's priced so people can't buy it, usually the
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: price comes down so that people can start to afford it.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: That isn't a tax issue. That's a market-driven issue to say, well,
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: we're sitting on all this inventory, and we can't move anything.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: That's called capitalism, is what that's called.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 18: No, what I'm saying is that we, as a society,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 18: want to control that. We don't want our homes inflating
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 18: to these out-of-control prices. Like, now how do you control that?
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 18: Can you put somebody in jail for trying to sell
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 18: their house? for $ 600, 000 when they bought.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: It for $ 300, 000.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 18: But what you need to do is you need to
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 18: tax it.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: No, you don't. The argument is over you're taxing people
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: on unrealized gains. You're taxing people on what you say
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: you think their house is worth. But let's say if
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: they sell it for more, then you were off. Let's
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: say they sell it for less. It's an opinion that
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: you think you should tax them on. The argument is
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: people say you should be taxing me on what I
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: bought it for. Because that's what the market price was.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't be taxing me on unrealized gains, nor should
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: you be doing that in the stock market. That's where
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: the argument's coming in. You want to tax me because
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: you say my house is worth 30% more right now,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: so you want to tax me on that? This is craziness.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, you take a look at it. Your idea
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: of thinking taxes are..
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 18: What do you think is going to control housing prices?
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 18: I mean, you agree that's the fundamental issue, right?
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: I think the market controls... Housing prices, period. For example,
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: you're seeing in some areas where housing prices inflated a
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: great deal. Take Florida, for example. Those prices are coming
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: down pretty dramatically because they went up so high and
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: so many people are priced out of the equation. Now
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: the prices are starting to come down substantially. It depends
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: what state you want to go in. Ohio, if you
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: look here, housing prices are somewhat stabilized and even taking
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: up a little bit because it's a cheaper housing market
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: than it is in a lot of the countries. So
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: when you take a look at people leaving New York
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: and going to Miami, what do you think is going
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: to happen to real estate prices in New York? You
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: think they're going to go up or come down when
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: people are leaving? What's the market going to do? Those
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: prices are going to come down. And why are people leaving?
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: Because the taxes are too high. So they leave.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 18: That's exactly what I said. You raise the taxes and
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 18: the prices come down. That's literally what I said.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, but why do they leave? Because the taxes are
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: too high. So you can't be taxing billionaires.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 18: You don't want those rich people in your community.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: I guess the answer is government needs to take more
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: of everybody's money than this guy does. From NewsRadio 570, WKBN, 455,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: 78 degrees, and you're on the air.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: Hey, Ron, I called to agree with JJ, but I'll
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: tell you real quick how the Illuminati, like the Rothschilds,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: never pay penny in taxes. They create offshore trusts in
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 3: tax-friendly countries like the British protectorates, and they don't own
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: any assets. They have no assets in their name. Everything
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: is in the trust. For example, they could start a bank.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: Whenever they need money, they borrow money from the bank
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: that they control. Um, The bank charges them interest. They
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 3: pay the interest, but they're really paying interest to themselves. So,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's complicated. I think there's only like three
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 3: businesses in the world that do that because... The United
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 3: States and British rules and regulations are so complex, and
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 3: they play gotcha sucker, that these three corporations are willing
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: to do it. And that's how it's done, basically.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: Sounds like you probably are engaged in that type of activity.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got my... Billions of dollars in our short trust.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you probably do.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 3: Now, I want to commend J.J. because in the Judaic religion,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 3: they believe when the Messiah comes, Jews will control the
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: world and every Jew will receive 2,000 Gentile slaves. And
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 3: how can Iran, Russia, and China, and the rest of
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 3: the world deal with religious fanatics like that? In Israel,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 3: Netanyahu is based to support our extreme right-wing Judaics who
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 3: think that the..
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: Enough of this. I'm not getting in all of this
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: on a Friday.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 12: I mean, I'm concerned about..
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: They believe in the Talmud.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know what Levin and Shapiro believe in. I
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: know that I disagree with their views on the war.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: I can tell you that much. I mean, when you
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: want to talk politics in the war, I will tell
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: you I disagree with them from where they stand on it.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: JJ's point was that Rich the pharmacist keeps bashing Muslims
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 3: by talking about 72 virgins. But, you know, Ron, the
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: Muslims that Jesus and I regard..
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: Once again, I don't think that that's the situation in Iran.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's about... And both of these arguments
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: are ridiculous, whether they're fact or fiction. Iran's argument is,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: we're 93 billion people, we're our own nation, and the
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: United States and Israel aren't going to tell us whether
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: or not we can have a nuclear weapon. Why can
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: Israel have one? Why can North Korea have one? That,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: I think, is what Iran's argument is at this point
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: in time. I don't think it's about 73 virgins or
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: 40 or whatever. Do you? I think they're saying we're
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: dug in and we're not going along with this.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: Points I'm trying to make, and the 72 virgins is
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: only if you die.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 9: I don't care.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, with all respect, I don't care about it.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you get so in the weeds, I don't care
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: about that. I care about the big issue.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about The pharmacist calls the war
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: on Iran.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: All right, so let me do this.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 3: You want to talk about the war?
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: I want to get you to stop talking about every
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: individual call from yesterday or something.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 9: From ABC News. I'm Mike Dabusky.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 20: Still no word on whether President Trump plans to extend
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 20: the ceasefire with Iran, with both sides still not assigning
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 20: on to the current short-term peace proposal. A federal judge
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 20: has ordered that President Trump's name be removed from the
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 20: Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., setting a two-week deadline for
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 20: his name to come off the building. ABC's Catherine Falders reports.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 31: Not only did the judge rule against the center's renaming,
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 31: he also said the board has to vote again before
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 31: the closure can happen because he determined the trustees weren't
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 31: given enough information in advance.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 16: Of their vote to fulfill their obligation, if you will.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 31: So it really is a scathing ruling for the Trump administration.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 16: And of course, the judge also said that the.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 31: Closure of the Kennedy Center can't move forward as planned.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 20: The judge said the authority to rename the Kennedy Center
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 20: lies with Congress, not the center's board. It comes just
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 20: hours after a judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration's efforts
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 20: to create a so-called anti-weaponization fund. ABC News legal contributor
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 20: Kim Whaley.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 23: This is going to stay with this lower court judge.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 23: And then when there's a final resolution, only then. Will
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 23: the Trump administration have the ability to appeal it?
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 20: That fund was designed to pay those who claim to
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 20: have been victimized by the government. Health officials are ramping
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 20: up screening procedures at airports as the Ebola outbreak in
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 20: Central Africa grows.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 27: It's exactly what you might entail. It's a medical history.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 27: Where have you been? What have you been exposed to?
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 27: What were you doing in these countries? And then obviously
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 27: the physical screening, checking for things like fever and other
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 27: symptoms associated with the virus. But it shouldn't affect passengers
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 27: that are coming from other places around the world. We
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 27: haven't heard of anything like that inside these terminals. But
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 27: that comes with the caveat that if this continues to
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 27: expand and more countries are affected and added to that list,
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 27: then of course more passengers would eventually become affected by
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 27: all of this.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 20: ABC's Matt Rivers. You're listening to ABC News. All right,
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 20: let me go back to it. Frank, let me just
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 20: go back and say, we're starting to get in a
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 20: pattern here. And it's a pattern of you want to
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 20: call the next day, talk about this guy's call yesterday
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 20: or whatever.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: I've moved on from that.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to say, oh, I want to talk
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: about this or that. What do you have to say
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: about things that are going on in your opinion? I'm
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: not here to say this is what JJ said or
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: this is what Rich said. I mean, we're getting into
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: this every day.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 3: Hey, Ron, the pattern is you've been allowing him You
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 3: can call me an anti-Semite.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 9: Okay, I'm starting. All right.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: As I've said a million times, and I'm going to
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: say it to you again.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 3: Why can he do it, not me?
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to prevent all of this. But instead, you
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: are making it impossible for me to do that. Okay,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: I am not getting involved in this.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 3: Let me say this. He calls the war in Iran.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: I am not going down this road with him or
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: with you. I've said it to them, and I'm saying
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: it to you. All right?
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 9: This is it.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: I've made it clear to Ted the Conservative. I made
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: it clear to Rich, and I'm making it clear to you.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: I'm sick and damn tired of this pettiness. I don't
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: know what else to say about it. Let me tell.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 3: You this about surveys. They show the younger generation is
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 3: fed up with people engaging in name-calling because they are
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 3: insecure about it.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, but here we go. We're going to go right
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: back to it. Do you have something to add outside
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: of you want to talk about Rich or JJ or whoever?
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 3: No, I'm talking about surveys about how the younger generation feels.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: Is that okay?
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 3: And listen to this survey. Younger generation, you know, Ron...
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 3: The younger generation, 75% of the young generation, is the
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 3: dumbest in history, and 25% is the smartest and best
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 3: informed in history. They're fed up with the baby boomer generation.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 3: You know, they understand that their legitimate critiques are hitting home.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: And the only defense against them is to indulge in name-calling.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 26: They are fed up with the name-calling.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think they should be fed up with the
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: baby boom generation. The country that we are leaving, the
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: younger generation, is the fault of the baby boom generation,
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: of which I am a part of. If they're upset
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: because they're looking at a $ 40 trillion debt because we
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: can't control spending, if they're upset because taxes continue to
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: go up and wasteful spending continues to happen, they have
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: a right to be upset about all of this stuff.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: As they see their lifestyle decline from what it used
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: to be in America as a result of the baby
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: boom generation, they have every right to be pissed.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 3: Well, Long-term bond yields, which mature in 2 to 30 years,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 3: have increased 250% to the highest level in 20 years, Ron,
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 3: increasing systemic risk for investors. Now, I've been warning for
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 3: a long time that interest expense on the national debt
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 3: will become the largest item of expenditure in the federal budget.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: Right, it's the second largest now. So you cannot grow
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: the debt and deficit. I talk about this quite often
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: because when you're spending, your largest expenditure is solely paying
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: the interest on the debt. You're not lowering it. You're
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: just paying the interest on it. It's wasted tax dollars.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: You're not buying a missile. You're not feeding a hungry kid.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: You're just paying the interest on it. That's the problem
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: of having a big debt and deficit. But it's like
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats and politicians saying, simply don't seem to
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: care as they run this tab up.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 3: Well, Alex said the other day that interest rates going
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 3: up would break the back of inflation. But, Ron, that's
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: not true. The way Volcker solved the problem, he didn't
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 3: raise interest rates. He allowed the free market to determine
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 3: what the interest rate would be. But that was the effect.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 3: The way he caused inflation to come down, Alec, was
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 3: he reduced the money supply. Trump can..
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: Well, that's not necessarily true.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 3: Reserve at any time... through the Open Market Committee, reduce
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 3: the money supply, and that'll put a stop to inflation.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, I think there's two things. When they up
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: the interest rate, why do they do that? If they
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: feel there's inflation and they up an interest rate... What's
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: the purpose of upping the interest rate? It makes you
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: stop buying, right? All of a sudden you decide you
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: can't buy a car because the payments are too high.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: You can't buy a house because the payments are too high.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: You're not going to put it on your credit card.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: So it smothers demand. So if demand is down, then
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: inflation should come down. That's why they raise, theoretically, that's
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: why they raise interest rates to try to control inflation.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: Or so they say. So that's how they theoretically do it.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 3: What about Trump's tax deduction gimmick for purchases of new
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 3: cars made in America, which encourage people to go further
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 3: in debt for a consumption item, not an investment?
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: Well, because you need a car. Because you need a car.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: You've got to get around. So if you can buy
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: a car and you get a benefit if it's an
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: American car because it supports American manufacturing and you can
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: write off the interest, there are some things that taxes
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: encourage you to do. 30% of car.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 3: Trade-ins... were from people incentivized by his gimmicks were under water,
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 3: meaning the value they received for trading in their car
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 3: was less than the amount they owned on the car loan.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 3: In the Washington Post, this is why so many Americans
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 3: are just renting their cars.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: If they want to lease them, listen, I can't be
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: held accountable for everybody's bad personal decisions. Perhaps they should
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: be buying a used car. You merely asked me a
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: question about controlling inflation. That's the mentality between why they
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: raise interest rates. Now, I can make a counter-argument saying, okay,
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: given the current economic environment with high inflation that is
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: here as a result of the war, do I think
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: it's a good idea to raise interest rates? No, I
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: do not. I absolutely do not. They should stay where
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: they are or even go a little bit lower when
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: it comes to housing.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 3: That's why it was a shame that Margie Taylor Greene
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 3: and Massey got targeted because they believed in small government.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 3: Big government creates these problems. You know, for example, if
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 3: you have a huge medical bill, you can no longer
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: have that debt discharged in bankruptcy thanks to the Joe
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 3: Biden cabal. Now, Americans are at risk for being a
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 3: debt serf.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Wait a minute. I'm not so sure.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: I'd have to look into that. I know that under
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: George Bush, you couldn't discharge student loan debt, that that
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: was not something that you could declare bankruptcy on. Last
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: time I checked, the number one reason why people do
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: declare bankruptcy is medical debt.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 3: But Trump can repeal all these bad lies, but he refuses.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 26: To do it.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: I think Trump's a little busy right now, all right?
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 6: I see you.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: You're on the air.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 8: Ronald.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 10: I call to offer my sympathy. Some days are like this.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 10: I can't help but listen. Two callers ago and wonder
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 10: if that one guy thinks real estate taxes dictate home prices.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 10: I wonder if he's the son.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 17: Of the professor.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: It was the most bizarre economic philosophy that I've ever heard.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you can't start... I don't care what
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: party you're with. If you can't start with a basic
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: premise that it's your money, the citizens' money to begin with. Now,
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: government is taking from them. The question is, is government
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: taking too much? And the answer is yes.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 10: Not according to him. You know, every time... I hear
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 10: a conversation like that, and as soon as I hear
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 10: them start talking about taking other people's money, the red
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 10: light goes on. I mean, it's interesting, but in all sincerity,
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 10: I'm wondering, in this profession, did they warn you when
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 10: you accepted the job that Mike drives.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 16: You to drink?
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: My daddy said, son, you're going to drive me to drink,
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: and if you don't stop driving that hot Rod Lincoln.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 6: I figured you.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 10: Needed a laugh. It's nothing to contribute other than to
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 10: try to.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: Give me a mental break. Life can be sometimes challenging.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: Let's just..
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 10: Some days are challenging.
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, let me put it this way. I mean,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: when we talk about things, I can't sit here and
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: tell you what... is going to happen with the war
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: in Iran. I hope Trump is right. I hope it
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: works out. But I'm not thinking that at the present time.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: And I'm not pleased with this now 60-day ceasefire. And
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: how long is this going to drag on? And how
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: long are you supposed to put up with the issues?
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 10: You know, one thing I've come to believe when listening
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 10: to your programming is a lot of people will complain
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 10: just to complain. There's nothing else. Instead, you know, I
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 10: would look at the glass half full. And I think
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 10: most people look at the glass half empty. Every day
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 10: they wake up and they try to decide what they
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 10: can complain about today. You know, some of your worst
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 10: first callers today, we're there. We are in Iran. You
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 10: can complain all you want about it. It's not changing anything.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 10: You know, you could, I mean, put some of your
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 10: energy into positive things. Look at the good things that
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 10: are happening in the world or in your life. I'm
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 10: just surprised. It's almost like sometimes I wonder if I'm
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 10: listening to Dr. Phil when I put the long-verb show on.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: Well, I do give advice to the love, Lorne, if
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: you need any.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 10: I know. I mean, when you start talking about hearing
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 10: JJ in the sand, I was a little bit taken aback.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 10: I didn't know where that was going. Only one set
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 10: of footprints in the sand.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: That's what I was carrying JJ.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 10: Poor JJ. He stresses out too much. He needs to
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 10: smoke a little more weed.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: I think. He's uptight. There are days he is, days
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: he isn't.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 10: And he better loosen that belt before he has permanent damage.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: That guy's so skinny, a good strong wind will blow
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: him away.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 10: Well, I hope I brought a laugh to you.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: It's Ted the Conservative trying to save the day. All right, Ted,
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: have a great weekend. You're on the air.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 26: Verb, Billy Goat here.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: The man who used to have a Billy Goat beard. Folks,
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: when I ran into this guy and I looked at
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: his mug, I looked at him and that's exactly, I said,
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: what are you doing here? What are you doing here
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: with that Billy Goat beard? And he looked at me
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: and he And he smiled and I said, you got
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: to get rid of that thing. That thing looks ridiculous.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 9: And you were right.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: And I was, and he, right. He took it off,
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: you know, young guy, good bone structure and everything. You
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: took that off and you're a better looking guy as
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: a result of it.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 26: I don't know if the mirror says that I, the
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 26: mirror tends to kind of crack and, and all that,
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 26: but I had to call and check in. I hadn't,
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 26: I hadn't caught, well, I called in yesterday, but I
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 26: was never going to get on. Cause you had the
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 26: two shows, but I've really been listening, kind of just been,
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 26: Busy working. I got my garden in. But since last Friday,
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 26: my life kind of got flipped around, and I'm kind
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 26: of a little held up at the moment.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: Well, how is that?
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 26: So I got hurt at work, Ron, and I have
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 26: an ingroinal hernia.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: Jesus, that sounds painful. I don't even know what that is,
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: but I know this much. I sure as heck don't
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: want one.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 26: So it's right in the groin, and it's right above
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 26: the male private part.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 26: So I actually went to, believe it or not, I
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 26: went to, well, I went and seen my doctor because
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 26: I had to get answers, of course, because it was,
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 26: the bulge was a quarter size of a softball and
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 26: it was painful as all get out. Thankfully, I haven't
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 26: had it come forth only but twice. So went and
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 26: seen my doctor. He goes, you know, he does his
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 26: normal routine and he says, you got an ingroinal hernia,
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 26: which is in the groin.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: No, no, stop for a minute. I'm trying to picture
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: this now. And I'm really, I'm trying to picture this.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: Are you telling me, all right, we're looking at the
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: male anatomy. Are you saying it's right above your junk?
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 26: Ron, it is off center of my junk, but yes,
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 26: it is right above next to my junk yes.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: Sir and and it's in a in a hernias bulging
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: out well to see there here lies a problem do
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: you remember uh did you lift something too.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 26: Heavy Okay, so I was actually getting to that. So
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 26: my line of work is kind of jack of all trades,
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 26: master of none. A lot of my line of work,
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 26: I have to do a little extra straining to do things. And,
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 26: you know, I might have also caused it myself, though, too, Ron.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 26: So I made a raised bed vegetable garden. And where
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 26: I live in my little 520-some-square-foot house with less than
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 26: an acre of ground, out in the village of Grafton,
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 26: I had to fence it off so I'd keep the
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 26: wildlife out of it. So I had to post-hole dig
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 26: about 11 holes and use a post-hole digger. So between
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 26: that and probably some of the stuff I've done, and maybe,
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 26: I don't know, like the doctor said and the surgeon said,
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 26: they don't give you no warning. They just erupt. When
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 26: the tissue and the muscle gets weak, it just comes.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 26: You get no warnings.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: So when are you going to get an operation on this?
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 26: I went and seen the surgeon today. He went through everything.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: Stand by, stand by, stand by. I want to hear
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: more about this. I definitely, as strange as it seems,
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: I need to know more.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: So I'm taking all of this in. So you went
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: to see the surgeon because you have a hernia. What
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: is it called again?
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 26: Ingrainal hernia.
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 32: Okay.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: Now, every guy out there, imagine you're at your doctor
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: and you get this diagnosis. It just sounds painful. Doc,
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: you play the part of the doctor. I'll be the patient.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: You just got done examining me, and you say to me,
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: I have what?
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 26: An ingroinal hernia.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: Ingroinal hernia.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 16: Yeah, that's, yep, yep.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 26: I have it written right out here by the surgeon's
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 26: nurse himself. I-N-G- U-I-N-A-L is how it is spelled. So
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 26: I assume that is, or maybe that's an R. It's
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 26: kind of chicken scratch. But I assume that it's ingroinal.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 26: I assume that's probably what it is.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: All right. So you will have an operation on this.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 26: So it happened Friday before Memorial Day weekend.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: Beautiful. What a great Memorial Day weekend you had.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 26: Well, Ron, believe it or not, man, it didn't bother
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 26: me all weekend. It did not bother me all weekend.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 26: It bothered me Friday. It happened about between 2 and 2.30.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 26: And I thought, okay, maybe I strained a groin muscle.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: So you looked down and you got this bulge coming out, correct?
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 25: Correct.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 26: So what happened was I was out at the back
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 26: dumpster dumping trash into the dumpster.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 16: And I stepped off the.
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 26: Tow motor to go do what I had to do
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 26: off the tow motor. And I get a pain down there, Ron,
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 26: that sends Billy Goat to his knees. And I break
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 26: out in a cold sweat. So I take the tow
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 26: motor back inside. I go to the bathroom. I do
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 26: what I had to do. and I see this bulge.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 10: Oh, my.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 26: And I went and told my shop foreman, and the
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 26: first thing he goes is, dude, he says, you probably
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 26: got a hernia. And so I went through the weekend.
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, you wouldn't want to go, like, to the
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: emergency room.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 26: No, I was told don't even bother going to the
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 26: emergency room unless you're dying because they're only going to
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 26: send you to your doctor. You'll sit there for an hour.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 26: I wasn't wasting my time at the emergency room. No,
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 26: I learned that from multiple people. If you're dying and
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 26: on death's doorstep, sure, they'll take care of you. But
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 26: somebody like me, I would have sat there an hour.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: But what if it would have gotten worse? What if
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: you were in excruciating pain and it got worse?
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 26: Well, then, okay, I wouldn't have had no choice. Then
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 26: I would have went.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: So you go to your doctor and they say, here's
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: a surgeon. We're going to cut you open. We're going
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: to put some mesh around this, right?
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 26: Well, okay. Now hold your horse. You're getting a little over-exaggerated.
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: You're getting a little crazy. This is what's going to happen.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now. They're going to bring you
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: into the operating room. They're going to have a team
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: of surgeons there. and they're going to rip you open
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: and put like an onion sack in there and stitch
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: you up.
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 26: It's all laparoscopic. They make three small incisions through your stomach,
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 26: and they go down, and they do it all that way.
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 26: And the doctor is a five-star, has a great history
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 26: with the Cleveland Clinic.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: Keep me posted. I wish you the best of luck.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 26: Thank you, sir. Will do.

  Speaker 4: You're on the air.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 9: Hello.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 2: I want you to know that I just gave up
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 2: 45 minutes of beautiful sunlight that I could have been
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 2: outside doing something productive. But I stayed here just to
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: talk to you.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: What would you have been doing?
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 2: I have a yard that needs attended to.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: Really? I mean, would you go out and speak to
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: the gardener? I'm sure you have a staff at that mansion.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that you probably go out and instruct the
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: lawn crew as to what they need to be doing.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you heard me or not. I
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: said I would be out there doing... yard work that
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 2: needs to be done in my yard.
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: I must, I must say something.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: When winter goes into spring and Sunday, you know, my
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: habits change. I don't always have the luxury of standing
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 2: by a phone waiting for you to come along.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: I understand that. I'm appreciative that you did because I
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: must confess, I have, I've wondered about you. I've, Haven't
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: heard from you for a long time, and I thought, gee,
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: I wonder what Fifth Avenue is up to these days.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 2: And I, like I said, summertime and spring, your habits change,
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: and you do different things at different times.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: You are correct.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 2: But you're the one that's kind of disappeared, don't you think?
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, you've had all these baseball games on. And
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: they pay you for 20 hours a week? I hope they're.
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 8: Not paying you.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: You know, sometimes your fearless leader needs a little rest
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: from the grueling pressure that I'm under on him. minute-by-minute
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: basis here on the broadcast.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 2: About 10 hours a week with all the ball games.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: Don't you love... Listen, baseball was made for radio. Baseball
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: was made for radio. I confess to everybody, I thoroughly
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: enjoy listening to Tom Hamilton, and sometimes I need a
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: little bit of a breather. You might find that hard
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: to believe, but occasionally I do.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 2: I find that hard to believe, because sometimes you have
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 2: certain guests on there that are That take over the
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 2: airwaves and you sit there and, well, I'm not going
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: to get into all that because..
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: But here you are, though. Here you are, though, coming
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: out of the woodwork and it's like such a pleasure
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: to hear your voice. That you gave up being out
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: in your yard and doing whatever old people do this..
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 2: No, I'm still as active as possible. I really am.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: Do you mow your own grass?
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 8: I do. I trim, I mow.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: That's amazing to me. Do you tend to your own
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: mulch beds, pull weeds and Make sure the flowers are watered?
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 2: Make sure everything is tip-top shape. I like a nice yard. Well,
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 2: you know, you've been doing that.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 8: A lot of years.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: Do you get along with your neighbors? Do you say
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: good afternoon?
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 2: I've got neighbors on either side that I'm ticked off
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 2: at because they don't take care of their yards the way...
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 2: I want them to.
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: Doesn't that drive you crazy?
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 16: That drives me.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: Nuts, believe me, when I tell you. I'm trying to
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 2: be nice about it, but if we were off the air,
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 2: you'd hear a different conversation from me.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, so you keep your yard manicured, and they
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: don't cut the grass, or they got junk in their yard.
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: And you look out thinking, for the love of God,
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: where's your dignity? Where's your pride?
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 12: Exactly.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not asking for, you know, just clean
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 2: it up.
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 1: You want me to come over and rough them up
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: a little bit?
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 2: I would love that. I'll tell you what. I even
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 2: went to the mayor and said something. I'm not going
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 2: to say what city or whatever, but I went. and
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 2: i didn't get to get because it's getting to be
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 2: a situation.
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you something if if if we would spin
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: a clock back to the good old days and i
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: don't know where you are but if you were in
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: youngstown when mckelvey was mayor you would go to him
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: and george mckelvey would take care of it in a
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: blink of an eye I'm telling you right now, McKelvey,
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: if you were in Youngstown and you have that problem,
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: McKelvey would have dealt with it. Those were the good
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: old days, a true public servant.
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 2: I hear you. I hear you loud and clear.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: McKelvey would have knocked on your neighbor's door and said, Hey,
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: it's me, Mayor George McKelvey. Clean up this mess before
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: I send the city down here.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 2: And I'm not being picky. I'm just... I don't understand it.
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, both sides, they're very capable of doing it,
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 2: but they don't.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: There used to be a woman that called me years ago.
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: Josephine Hewlett was her name. I'll never forget her. African-American woman,
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 1: lived in Youngstown, and she was fearless. She would tell
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: the young people in her neighborhood, spin that cap around,
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 1: wear it the right way, pull those pants up. She
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 1: would say it doesn't take money to have pride. You
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 1: don't need money to go get a bucket of paint
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: and paint your house and scrape it and take care
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: of it and make your yard presentable and and clean
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: up after yourself. I mean, when you listen to her talk,
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 1: she made such sense because she didn't buy any of
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: the excuses. Oh, I'm poor. I can't afford to do it.
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: Her answer is get off your lazy ass, put some
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 1: effort forth and take pride in your home.
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 33: Yep.
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to make enemies. That's what I'm...
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 2: So I keep my mouth shut. I mean, they live
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 2: right next door, for God's sakes.
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but what do they do? Have junk in the yard?
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 2: Debris from the... There's a lot of trees back here,
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 2: and there's a lot of... One doesn't even cut the leaves.
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 2: They'll leave them there for two, three years at a time. Oh,
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: I don't... And the other one... The stuff that falls down,
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 2: branches and this and that, they just pile it up
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 2: in the backyard. They cut trees down. They let the
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 2: logs stay back there and all that stuff.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: Now, has the neighborhood gone to hell over the years?
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, was it a good neighborhood back.
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 9: In the day?
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 2: It's a decent neighborhood.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 8: It really is.
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 2: It's just that I just happen to be in between
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 2: two of the people that are not taking care of
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 2: their yards the way everybody else is in the neighborhood.
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 16: So anyway.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: Those pigs drive you crazy. There's always one or two
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 1: of them in every neighborhood.
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I got them beside of me. But anyway, we're talking.
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 2: There's so much that I want to talk to you about.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 25: Go ahead.
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 2: You were talking about, well, can I talk to you?
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 2: There was an article in the paper. You said you
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 2: read the newspaper, which I do also. Daily, I buy
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 2: my newspaper. There's an article in here from 2024. It
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 2: has to do with property taxes, and you've been talking
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 2: about that a lot lately.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute. 2024, it's 2026. That's two years ago.
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 2: That's good math.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 8: I like that.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, come again. Okay, so you're just now getting
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 1: around to reading an article in a newspaper from two
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: years ago?
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 2: It's irrelevant to what you're talking about.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 1: What, did you cut it out?
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 6: I'm not..
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 2: Legislators over a couple of decades... Now, we're talking about
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 2: Ohio taxes, the property taxes.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 2: Ohio legislators over a couple of decades have engaged in
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 2: tax shifting, which is shifting taxes away from the state
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 2: tax Yes, yes.
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 26: Yes, true.
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 16: All true.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 2: We can absolutely lower our property taxes, reduce essential services,
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 2: reduce costs, and still support essential services if we ensure
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 2: that the state pays its fair share and returns our
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 2: tax dollars to our local communities.
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 2: And that is what is not going on down there.
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 12: Yes, 100% true.
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 2: The state has shifted funding away from our local communities
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 2: to benefit private schools. I want to say that again.
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 2: Over the past decade, the state has shifted funding away
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 2: from our local communities to benefit private schools. This year
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 2: it cost us a billion dollars. That was in 24.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 2: It has led to public schools having to make up
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 2: the difference, or they have to do more with less.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 2: It means going to voters to ask for more money.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 2: And it's led to Ohioans having to vote more on
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 2: school levies than any other state over the last 20 years.
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 2: It is why homeowners are feeling the pinch in their bills.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 2: Another example of tax shifting has been cuts to local
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 2: government funds from the state. Local governments having to get
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 2: by with about $ 1 billion less than they got in 2011.
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: All true. All true.
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 2: It has led to more levies throughout the state for police, fire,
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 2: and other safety services.
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: Absolutely true.
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 2: In most states, businesses pay more property taxes and homeowners
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 2: pay less. Now, Ohio homeowners and farmers are paying two-thirds
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 2: of the total property tax.
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 2: Who said all that?
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 26: Who?
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 16: McNally.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's true. A lot of that's true. I
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: don't disagree with it.
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 2: It's all true. And that is what a lot of
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 2: people do not get it. They don't understand. The money
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 2: that has gone down to Columbus, they've held on to it.
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 2: And as you well know, there's a fund down there
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 2: that I don't know what.
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 16: It's up to.
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's money. I mean, it's been thrown around $ 2 billion,
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 2: $ 10 billion. Who knows? I don't know. But it's not
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 2: coming back to the communities. With the private schools, they're
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 2: taking the money away from the public schools. That's why
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 2: you have all.
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 6: This going on.
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: The most important part of that is the local government
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: fund that would go back to your local community has
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: been cut tremendously into money. You've got to keep in mind,
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: those tax dollars that the state has, that's your money too.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 1: The state just isn't sending it back to the degree
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: it used to with the local government fund. And that
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: is wrong. And that has created a lot of the
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: problems and levies to go up. That's 100% true. And
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 1: keep in mind, as you're doing this, as we were
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: exposing the other day on the program, here's Governor DeWine
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 1: giving data centers money. exemption on a sales tax for
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 1: $ 2 billion.
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 2: Insane or what?
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, because they should have paid the $ 2 billion. We
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 1: could have offset perhaps property taxes or used it to
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 1: give more money back to the local government fund and
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: ease the burden. I'm in total agreement with that.
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 2: Let me say something. I don't want your money, Ron.
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 2: I don't want your money. But if I don't have
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 2: enough to pay for my living, what is the only
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 2: thing you can do? In other words, I don't want
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 2: big businesses' money. I don't want anybody's money. But if
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 2: all the money is flowing to the top, as you
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 2: well know it is, what are.
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 8: People supposed to do?
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 1: Well, there's a couple of thoughts I have on that.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: I remind you of the age-old statement that is always true.
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 1: And never forget this. Revolutions are fought on hungry bellies.
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 16: That's exactly right.
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 1: And if you create too many hungry bellies, that's an issue.
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 1: And you know what?
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 2: I like my grocery store right where it's at. I
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 2: like my bank right where it's at. I don't want
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 2: a revolution. I don't want that.
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: No, but I'm just saying that's the old cliche, and
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of truth to that.
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 2: It's as new as you can think, too.
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: Well, there you have it. I mean, there's a lot
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: of truth to that. We've got our share of problems
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 1: in how much of your money is taken from you,
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 1: how much is wasted. And how much is... Well, let's
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 1: just leave it at how much is wasted.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 2: The party used to be lower taxes.
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, less government, lower taxes.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 2: They are out of control.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: Well, certainly DeWine is when we take a look at
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 1: the fraud in Ohio, which is on the equivalency of Minnesota.
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 1: Tampon Tim over there. This is no better here in
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 1: Ohio where he basically ignored it.
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 6: Well..
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 2: And it's just, can you imagine what's going on at
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 2: the national level?
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 1: It's got to be unbelievable.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 2: They have these jobs for one reason, and that's Democrat
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 2: and that's Republican, because they make millions of dollars.
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: That is correct.
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 2: They make millions of dollars. That's why they have these jobs,
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 2: and that's right.
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 12: You have control.
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 1: You take a look.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 2: He has control of the whole deal here.
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you take a look at it. A lot of
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: people leave Congress very wealthy.
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 2: They're putting it on their hands.
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, they leave Congress very wealthy. They come in and say, Joe,
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 1: bag of donuts. And how do they make millions of
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 1: dollars all of a sudden? Isn't that interesting?
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they make millions. And the Republicans are doing nothing
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 2: about it. They're letting this guy run rampant. How about
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 2: $ 1. 8 billion for the insurrectionists? Have you Republicans lost control
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 2: of your state?
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 1: Well, like I say, we've got to start for just
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: a second when you talk about that fund. Because, see,
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 1: people bring that up, but you're forgetting what caused that fund.
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 1: That fund was a settlement. Why was there a settlement? Well,
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 1: let's review this carefully. Your tax returns are private, not
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 1: to be released. Somebody stole, and ultimately was prosecuted for it,
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 1: stole the tax returns of Donald Trump, Sean Hannity, and conservatives,
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: and the media didn't care if they were stolen. They
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 1: hated Trump so much, even though it was stolen, they
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 1: published his private tax return. That is against the law.
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 1: So Trump, in turn... sued, and this was the settlement
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: that was made because he was harmed. His private information
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: was made public, and just as yours shouldn't be made
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: that way, his shouldn't be made that way, or Sean
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: Hannity's shouldn't be made that way. That is why he
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 1: agreed to that settlement as opposed to taking the $ 1. 8
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 1: million and putting it in his pocket. They reached a settlement,
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: and he said, okay, let's do this fund, but Don't
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 1: forget why that settlement is there. What created that settlement?
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 2: That is Donald Trump's vindictiveness.
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 1: No, it isn't. No, it's the vindictiveness of somebody with
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 1: the IRS. No, here's the vindictiveness.
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 2: He should not be president of the United States.
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: No, this is ridiculous. The vindictiveness was of the person
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: that stole that information.
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 9: The vindictiveness.
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 2: I have to read up a little bit more.
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 9: Well, I want you to go.
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 1: Read on that.
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 2: The theory of that someone stole.
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 1: Well, that's it. Your tax return information is private. It
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 1: was stolen. Yes, it is. As a matter of fact,
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 1: you read up on it because the guy was prosecuted
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 1: and sent to prison. But because of the result of
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 1: his stealing it, because he had a beef with Sean
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: Hannity and what have you.
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 26: How long did he get in prison?
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know off the top of my head. But
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 1: let me go one step further. I also blame the
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 1: media that published it. Stand by. I'm going to try
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 1: to make sense with Fifth Avenue. It could be difficult.
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 9: So you understand.
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just trying to tell you that's why
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: that fund was created. It was a settlement.
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 2: I know why.
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 1: But an injustice was done there.
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 2: These are the people that tried to overthrow.
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 30: Well, not necessarily.
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 9: You had plenty of..
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 1: People your age that were there at a protest, they.
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 9: Didn't break any..
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 2: I don't care who was there. So what you're telling
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 2: me is that two wrongs are going.
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 9: To make a right here.
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 1: What I'm telling you is the following. What I'm saying
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 1: is that you had people that were there that didn't
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: break any windows or do anything. And some people, with
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: the police standing by, incidentally, let them walk in. They
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 1: didn't steal anything. They walked in almost as a tourist
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 1: would be, looked around, and left. and we hunted those
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 1: people down to destroy their lives, and they didn't do
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 1: anything wrong, and the police didn't stop them. They broke
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 1: into a federal building. No, they did not. The police
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 1: were standing there, and they did not break the windows.
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 1: You and I are going to just go around in circles.
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: There were people that were done an injustice to. There
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: were people that were done an injustice to for political
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: purposes that should be compensated. You fail to realize.
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 9: They didn't.
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 1: These are not the people that are going to do that.
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 25: All right?
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 1: So you want to put everybody in the same.
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 2: Ball, and that's wrong.
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not. I'm interpreting exactly what you're saying.
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 2: I think we do need it.
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 1: I think we do need it.
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 2: Well... Wasteful spending. Want to talk about wasteful spending?
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Look at all of it that we found.
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 2: How about the illegal tariffs that the Supreme Court said
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 2: that he was breaking the Constitution?
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 1: Is that all you think of as wasteful spending?
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to have you... And talk about the things
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 2: that really are matter.
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 26: I am.
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to educate you as an American citizen, but
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: I think I failed. All right. Have a good weekend.
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 9: I'm Mike Dabusky.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 20: It's unclear whether a new draft of a potential deal
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 20: between the U.S. and Iran will be approved, with the
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 20: two sides still at odds over issues including Iran's nuclear
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 20: program and a pathway to reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 20: President Trump now says he has no interest in renovating
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 20: the Kennedy Center. after a judge earlier today ordered that
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 20: he take his name off the building. That ruling came
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 20: just hours after a different judge temporarily blocked the Justice
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 20: Department's efforts to create an anti-weaponization fund. The Trump administration
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 20: said that fund would offer compensation to those who claimed
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 20: to have been wronged by the government.
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 31: We should note that no payments have... gone out from
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 31: this fund yet. The fund, as we've reported, is governed
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 31: by this commission. It will be a five-person commission that
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 31: the administration has to put together. They have yet to
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 31: announce the creation of that or yet to announce any commissioners,
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 31: if you will. So what this order does is bars
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 31: the administration from taking any further action in that way.
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 20: ABC's Catherine Falders, Louisiana lawmakers have approved a new congressional
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 20: map which would get rid of one of the state's
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 20: two majority black districts. It comes after the Supreme Court
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 20: moved to weaken the Voting Rights Act last month. There
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 20: are now more than a thousand cases of Ebola in
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 20: the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has prompted fears in
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 20: surrounding countries in the region.
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 34: A Kenyan court has put a pause on the Trump
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 34: administration's plan to open a 50-bed field hospital in the
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 34: country for Americans exposed to the Ebola virus. The African
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 34: CDC has suggested Kenya's government was pressured into housing the center.
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 34: Some experts also warning that a foreign facility is a
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 34: strategic mistake, saying U.S. nationals impacted by the outbreak should
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 34: be brought home. Shannon Kingston, ABC News, the State Department.
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 20: Meanwhile, airports in New York, Atlanta, Houston, and Washington, D.C.
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 20: are stepping up health screenings for flights coming to the U.S.
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 20: from that region. You're listening to ABC News.
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 1: All right, from 570 WKBN and Ron Ferb, we should
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 1: be in good shape. All right, so we'll be with
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 1: you until 6.30 tonight, all right? And then should be
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 1: Guardians baseball. G2, hello.
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 33: Good evening, Ron.
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 1: How are you? I'm exhausted.
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 16: Yeah, it's an arduous journey, this journey through the issues.
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes. I'm mentally and physically exhausted. I'm on the
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 1: verge of a nervous breakdown. Other than that... Your take
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 1: on it all. A lot of compliments on what you
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 1: were talking about Wednesday coming from our listeners who found
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 1: it very interesting.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 10: Oh, good, good.
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 16: I'm glad it's helpful. I did catch some of the
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 16: call with Fifth Avenue.
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 33: And a just quick observation on this school thing. Look,
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 33: if he or any Marxist is put in charge of
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 33: what's going on in Columbus, they wouldn't cut a single
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 33: program and they would increase spending.
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 16: They do it everywhere they go. So if Columbus is
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 16: spending more.
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 33: Money in Columbus because they're growing state government, and the
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 33: problem is that then the taxpayers actually have to write
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 33: a check to grow local government, you know, that's your problem.
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 33: The answer to this is actually reducing the government and
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 33: stopping this incredible growth, this constant expansion of the role
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 33: of government and therefore the money that must be consumed
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 33: into it. And then, of course, comes the corruption and
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 33: the rest of it. On the public schools versus private
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 33: school things, you can hear... But like Marxists generally, they
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 33: despise private schools, or more importantly, they despise parents being
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 33: able to decide where their children are educated. They want
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 33: to make sure they can capture those children within a
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 33: public school or government school setting so they can control
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 33: what they learn.
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 16: That's why you've seen these teachers for the last decade,
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 16: you know, running around a third-grade classroom screaming, let me
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 16: tell you about my sexuality and my personal sexual journey.
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 16: I know a woman that was doing an outdoor event
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 16: at a school recently. I think it was like three
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 16: days ago.
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 6: Third grade.
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 33: And she said, okay, line up boys and girls. And
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 33: one of the little girls came up and said, I
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 33: use they, them pronouns. And she said, all right, well,
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 33: pick one of the two. And the girl decided to
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 33: go with the boys. Now, that seems like something that
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 33: would normally happen in third grade, or does that seem like.
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 16: Something that's indoctrinated.
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 26: Into these children?
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 16: So, you know, this idea that it is hard. to
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 16: the state to allow parents to decide where their kids
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 16: are educated is fundamental to this sort of distaste and
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 16: disdain that you hear when you hear somebody like Fifth
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 16: Avenue talking about public versus private schools. They think public
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 16: schools are virtuous and private schools are somehow not. But
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 16: if you've got your kids trapped in one of these
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 16: failing school systems and the government is saying, well, we're
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 16: going to take money from you and everybody else, but
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 16: we'll force you to stay there because we know you
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 16: can't afford private school tuition. So we're going to force you.
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 23: To stay there.
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 16: And your kids are just going to simply have to
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 16: not learn.
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 33: That's just something that the Marxists are comfortable with. But
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 33: if you're thinking about giving people freedom and a chance
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 33: to make themselves step into a better life, Education is
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 33: typically a critical part of that, and therefore they should
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 33: be free to go where they wish. And that means
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 33: that all this money the government is sucking in, in
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 33: the name of education, should be available to those kids
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 33: so their parents can pick whatever school system they think
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 33: is going to best serve their kids. Here's the way
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 33: to stop the migration to private schools.
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 16: Here's what it is.
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 33: Do a better job of teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 33: at the public schools, and stop chasing kids around screaming,
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 33: how do you feel.
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 16: About your gender today, fifth grader? You know, get this
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 16: crap out of the schools. Get this woke ideology out
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 16: of the schools, which, to be clear, is a religion.
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 16: Get this out of the schools.
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 33: Just get back to science, math, language, arts. Just get
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 33: back to teaching the things that are important and not
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 33: the ideology of the National Education Association.
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 26: And remember this, too.
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 16: If you're paying money to these public.
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 33: Schools, a piece of that is by force siphoned off
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 33: by the unions and then circulated back to drive the
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 33: union's political.
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 16: Agenda, whether that's the member's agenda or not is unimportant.
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 33: Lunatics like Weingarten, this Randy Weingarten, or this woman who's
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 33: the president of one of the unions, and this other one,
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 33: I can't remember her name.
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 16: These people are radical lunatics, and yet they take every.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 33: Public school teacher, not every one, because some school systems,
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 33: some states have... write the work laws and they can't
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 33: force you to pay. But for every teacher they can get,
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 33: they seize a portion of their income, take that publicly
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 33: funded student paid income to that teacher, and divert that
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 33: into political campaigns for the most radical, aggressive, anti-education elected
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 33: officials they could possibly fund into office. So, you know,
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 33: I understand his point of view because I've heard a
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 33: lot of Marxists talk about education, but I'm telling you
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 33: it's an absolutely illegitimate illegitimate perspective. Now, whether or not
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 33: the state should continue expanding its role, so it's building, say,
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 33: houses for, what.
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 26: Is it, $ 180, 000.
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 16: That they turn around and sell for, or $ 300, 000 that
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 16: they sell.
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 33: For $ 180, 000, something like that. There are ridiculous programs that
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 33: the state is involved in, and at three, our state
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 33: may not be as many.
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 16: But if you put the.
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 33: Marxists in charge, that will increase tenfold. So you're going
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 33: to have state taxes have to go up, You're going
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 33: to have every fine fee, everything they can think up
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 33: to attach to the citizenry go up. And you're going
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 33: to have to have your local school districts raising taxes
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 33: as well. So let's not pretend somehow that, you know,
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 33: that crushing private school options is going to save the
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 33: country's fiscal situation or even that the Marxists care about
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 33: fiscal responsibility. You know, if people like.
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 16: Fifth Avenue were out 20 years ago saying, No more debt.
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 16: You can't grow government. Don't put more debt. Then the
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 16: country would be in a better position, but they didn't.
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 33: They said, hey, listen, spend all you want. By the way,
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 33: here's another idea. Give some money to this guy, to
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 33: that group, to this issue. And now we've got a
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 33: $ 40 trillion problem and nothing to show for it. So,
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 33: you know, that's just a quick response to, again, sort
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 33: of the Marxist view that the government should dictate who
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 33: educates your kids and what they're taught.
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 1: What do you make of the latest... information today, what
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 1: are they talking about is 60 day ceasefire today?
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 16: Well, you know, there's always this, this back and forth, right.
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 33: And, and I just don't know which of these things
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 33: are going to actually happen and which.
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 16: Are not going to happen. Um, you know, we're watching
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 16: a real time negotiation. So they say right now that,
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 16: you know, Trump's in the situation room for the final
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 16: determination on the Iran deal.
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 16: Well, that that's, They're the reports of the 60-day ceasefire extension.
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 16: That would be good.
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 33: You see, it's not benefiting either side to actually continue
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 33: dropping bombs. Now, everybody talks about the weapons cache, the
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 33: inventory that Iran has in these short-range missiles and in drones.
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 33: And it's true, they have a lot of weapons still left.
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 33: But it's crystal clear that their ability to defend their
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 33: nation has been decimated. outside of ground forces, which are still,
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 33: it seems, largely intact, according to what the Saudis are saying,
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 33: which is where I figure some.
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 6: Of this out.
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 10: So I.
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 33: Think this is just going to keep going back and forth.
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 33: We'll know this is over when the Strait of Hormuz
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 33: is open. Iran has agreed that they're not going to
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 33: have a nuclear weapon. And oil is flowing without Iran
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 33: charging a toll for every ship that goes through the Strait.
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 33: And the sanctions on Iran's oil are removed so they
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 33: can sell oil at the same price as everybody else
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 33: and they don't have to have the ghost fleet of
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 33: tankers that are sneaking around the world transferring cargoes in
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 33: the Malacca Straits and all this craziness.
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 16: You know, I mean, we'll know when this is over.
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 16: So I hope that this works. You know, I know
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 16: that there are competing factions in Iran that this is.
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 10: A headless snake.
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 33: You know, they've had, as you all know, as everybody knows,
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 33: they've had the majority of their leaders, almost everybody in
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 33: leadership roles, killed and replaced. So in that kind of
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 33: tumultuous situation, I think it's very, very hard sometimes to
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 33: know who to negotiate with and then whether or not
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 33: they can actually implement what they agreed to. So I
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 33: think we just have to wait and see what comes
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 33: of this and kind of where it goes. I have heard,
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 33: and we talked about this the other night, A lot
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 33: of this doomsday talk about the U.S. is losing this war,
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 33: for the life of me, I can't understand it. You know,
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 33: we've got complete air domination. We've got complete sea domination.
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 33: We can strike any asset anywhere in the country with
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 33: pinpoint precision at any time, night or day. We've got
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 33: satellite coverage where we can see, you know, which camels
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 33: are leaving piles behind.
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 16: And, you know, somehow we're losing the war. It's just
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 16: kind of silly doomsayers. Of course, most of the people
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 16: saying this are either leftists or they're globalists who just
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 16: want to defeat the.
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 33: United States or whatnot. We're not by any stretch losing
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 33: this war. And then they say, well, all of the
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 33: benefits are accruing to Iran with each passing hour. Well,
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 33: as we've talked about many times, that might be true
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 33: if they were still able to sell oil, if they
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 33: could still fly commercial jets or commercial air traffic, if
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 33: they could still move freely from city to city, if
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 33: they didn't have a lot of their military and other infrastructure.
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 16: Damage, maybe.
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 33: But they do have all those problems. You can't just
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 33: jump on a jet and go flying around Iran right now.
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 33: They have serious problems, and they're losing this $ 400 million
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 33: to $ 500 million a day. And for the life of me,
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 33: I can't understand why people think that doesn't matter.
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 26: Of course it matters.
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 16: As I've said a thousand times, tyranny is expensive. Hence
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 16: the constantly raising taxes in the United States as tyranny
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 16: grows here. So I think that a lot of this
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 16: doomsaying is overblown. Now, We were talking the other day
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 16: about the oil markets, so I went out and looked at,
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 16: you know, where we're at with the reserve and all that,
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 16: and I sent you some of this, but the Strategic
• 2:16:08
  Speaker 16: Petroleum Reserve, if you go back all the way to, like, 1982,
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 16: it rose almost uninterrupted to.
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 6: Say, 2011.
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 16: There were dips when they, you know, something would happen,
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 16: they'd drain it down. I'm sure that there's some reductions
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 16: for even maintenance at times. I mean, oil has to
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 16: keep flowing, right? It peaked at around 2011 kind of
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 16: time frame, and it's been tailing off since then. But
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 16: the big plunge, the big drop in our inventory in
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 16: the Strategic Petroleum Reserve came from 2021 to 2024. Now,
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 16: what problem did we have then?
• 2:16:43
  Speaker 33: Well, what we had were Democrat policies implemented at the
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 33: federal level that were crushing the our oil production industry. Now,
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 33: oil production kept going because they were driving prices higher
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 33: and higher with their regulations. But you were seeing a
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 33: dearth of investment in new wells and completions.
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 16: And in refracking.
• 2:17:04
  Speaker 33: Because, you know, people were saying, why would I invest
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 33: in this when the government tells me they're going to
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 33: try to destroy my business, when they're making it harder
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 33: and harder, when I have to do a three-year study on,
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 33: you know, streams in the upper Chesapeake just to drive
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 33: a four-inch pipe under a creek, you know.
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 16: It was onerous.
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 33: And so we were seeing this, I think, this groundwork
• 2:17:26
  Speaker 33: laid to drop production. Of course, that reversed when Trump
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 33: came into office. Now we're producing more than we ever have.
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 33: So this whole drill baby drill thing is happening.
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 16: That's great news.
• 2:17:37
  Speaker 33: But nevertheless, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve went down from 21
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 33: to 24.
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 16: Trump wasn't in office then. There was no war with Iran.
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 16: That was specifically to try to help the Democrats.
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 33: In the midterms and in the 2024 election. That's what
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 33: that was about. They drained the strategic petroleum reserve, not
• 2:17:54
  Speaker 33: because we had a.
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 16: National crisis, but because they had an electoral crisis, and
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 16: they wanted to keep gas prices artificially low, and they
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 16: were willing to reduce that reserve to do it.
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 33: Oil that we purchased at $ 25 a barrel under the
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 33: Trump administration is was released into the markets at a
• 2:18:13
  Speaker 33: significant profit.
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 16: Okay, fine. But that was the drop. Now, after that,
• 2:18:19
  Speaker 16: we've seen it go up.
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 26: A little bit.
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 16: It's down a little bit now.
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 33: But we still have a significant amount of inventory, both
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 33: in the SDR and in our industrial sector. And if
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 33: you look at the crude oil supply in days, which
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 33: I pointed out to you earlier today, if I went
• 2:18:36
  Speaker 33: back and looked at it, December 31, 2005, We had
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 33: 24.8 days of inventory.
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 16: In commercial supply. That's okay.
• 2:18:45
  Speaker 33: A couple of weeks, we got steady flow, a lot
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 33: of domestic production. We don't probably need a.
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 16: Lot, but I thought, you know, okay, that makes sense.
• 2:18:53
  Speaker 16: Now it's 26.9.
• 2:18:53
  Speaker 33: It's gone up 2.1 days. In other words, our inventories
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 33: are higher now in terms of days on hand than
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 33: they were before the war began. So we've got these
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 33: guys saying, oh, we're going to come to the bottom
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 33: of tank and we're going to come to all these problems.
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 33: You know, look, if China comes back into this market
• 2:19:14
  Speaker 33: and they have to replace all the oil they're missing, well,
• 2:19:19
  Speaker 33: that's going to have a serious impact. Because if you
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 33: are going to redirect a commodity from its natural home,
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 33: from where it's flowing naturally, then you're going to pay
• 2:19:28
  Speaker 33: a super premium. And why is oil flowing where it is? Well,
• 2:19:31
  Speaker 33: that's logistics, processing capability. It's these, you know, it's not
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 33: a homogenous commodity, right? There are differences in different kinds
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 33: of oil. So some facilities might like one kind of oil,
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 33: another might like another. Some product output might require a
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 33: certain kind of oil, another one might require a different one.
• 2:19:48
  Speaker 26: So it's not homogenous, right?
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 16: So as China works through their inventories, And they get
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 16: down to where they're in trouble. And remember, it's going
• 2:20:00
  Speaker 16: to take 30, 40, 45 days to restart the whole
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 16: supply chain. Let's just say 30, but it could, in
• 2:20:06
  Speaker 16: some cases, probably go more. All right, they have to
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 16: start well before they run out to start getting that back.
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 16: And they're going to have to pay a very high price.
• 2:20:16
  Speaker 16: That'll drive prices up around the world, but they'll pay
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 16: a higher price because they're going to be directing a
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 16: commodity outside of its natural flow. to their market because
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 16: they're starving. You think China wants to pay that number?
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 16: They want to pay that premium? They want to pay
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 16: $ 150 or $ 175 or $ 200 a barrel? I'll tell you
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 16: right now, the answer is no, because they are wholly
• 2:20:39
  Speaker 16: dependent upon that oil. So they do not want to
• 2:20:41
  Speaker 16: pay that price, which means Iran's big customer is going
• 2:20:46
  Speaker 16: to call its big vendor and say, what? Keep going, boys.
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 16: Crush our economy. Let's put lots of Chinese out of work.
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 16: Let's destroy our access to global markets because our costs
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 16: go up. No, I don't think that they're going to stay. Now,
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 16: they could come after the U.S. and say, you know,
• 2:21:01
  Speaker 16: we hereby demand that you stop. They know that's not
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 16: going to work. And we have a mutual dependency with China.
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 16: They can't really go after us any more than we
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 16: can really go after them. The pressure point is Iran.
• 2:21:14
  Speaker 16: That's where I think the pressure would logically land. You
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 16: go to Iran and you say, listen, you're not going
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 16: to get a nuke, and we don't want you to
• 2:21:20
  Speaker 16: have one anyway. Open the strait and stop screwing around.
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 16: And then join the League of Nations. Join the World
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 16: of Nations. Join the Family of Nations. What's all this about?
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 16: I mean, and if you're not willing to do that, look,
• 2:21:33
  Speaker 16: here's another point that we don't pay attention to. Humans
• 2:21:37
  Speaker 16: solve problems. So Russia's pumping more oil. Venezuela, Brazil, the
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 16: United States, we are pumping like as fast as we
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 16: can pump. People are making investments. Saudi fixed that pipeline
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 16: even after it was attacked. Now they're shipping east-west as
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 16: opposed to through the Gulf. You've got UAE shipping through
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 16: another outlet, a port south of the Strip, because they
• 2:21:59
  Speaker 16: have a pipeline and they're doing that. Humans solve problems.
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 16: There are billions and billions, if not trillions of dollars
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 16: available to make things happen in the oil industry. So yeah,
• 2:22:10
  Speaker 16: you could de-bottleneck a refinery and maybe expand its capacity.
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 16: Maybe you can do a little extra production out of
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 16: a given field if you just upgrade the maybe some
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 16: section of pipeline. There are a million things that could
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 16: happen in this complex global supply chain to address the shortage.
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 16: And let's remember, we're 105 million barrels a day, right?
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 16: About 2020.
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, I'm sorry. Go ahead, G.T., I'm sorry.
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 16: All right, so my point is really simple. I don't
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 16: see necessarily that there's going to be a $ 200 or $ 250,
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 16: $ 300 barrel oil. I understand that we are facing tremendous
• 2:22:57
  Speaker 16: risks in this supply chain, and that it's the incremental
• 2:23:01
  Speaker 16: volume in a commodity that sets the commodity's price. It's
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 16: not that base load that's moving all the time. It's
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 16: that extra gallon, extra barrel, that extra ton of pounds
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 16: you have to buy.
• 2:23:11
  Speaker 32: But..
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 16: We shouldn't be declaring disaster before disaster hits. We should
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 16: not also be ignoring the risks. So I'm not saying
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 16: there's nothing to worry about, not at all. But I'm
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 16: also saying that these experts that I'm hearing, and all
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 16: over the place, they're out there screaming. When I look
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 16: at them, I typically find they have either a financial
• 2:23:33
  Speaker 16: or political motive for their doom thing. And when I
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 16: hear people saying that Iran is winning and the U.S.
• 2:23:38
  Speaker 16: is losing, I don't hear anything logical there. It's just
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 16: this constant fear-mongering. It's all the powers on their side.
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 16: They're getting more powerful. This is all for their good.
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 16: Show me. They got a population that can't ship oil.
• 2:23:51
  Speaker 9: They need money.
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 16: They can't fly planes. They can't go places. They've had
• 2:23:54
  Speaker 16: a lot of things destroyed in their country, and they
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 16: live in the fear that we could drop another bomb
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 16: any moment. So I think this is just a difficult
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 16: situation for us to watch unfold in real time. It's
• 2:24:06
  Speaker 16: a complex, multilateral negotiation, and the stakes are really high.
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 16: If Iran uses some of those short-range missiles and drones
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 16: to take out water supply, that is akin to murder
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 16: because those people that depend on that water supply are dead.
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 16: If they take out the oil infrastructure, that is akin
• 2:24:23
  Speaker 16: to murder because the civilian world that depends around the
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 16: world depends on that oil supply for things like fertilizer.
• 2:24:31
  Speaker 9: They will die.
• 2:24:33
  Speaker 16: So the stakes are high. If it's the end, this
• 2:24:36
  Speaker 16: can't be resolved. I don't see any situation where Trump
• 2:24:38
  Speaker 16: goes in. I'm hearing the Israelis and Israeli backers in
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 16: the United States, the representatives in Congress like Graham and Cruz,
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 16: I'm hearing a lot of people now saying what we
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 16: were saying when this war started, which is that to
• 2:24:49
  Speaker 16: achieve regime change, you have to really kill.
• 2:24:51
  Speaker 26: A lot of people.
• 2:24:53
  Speaker 16: And now the people representing Israel and the warmongers are
• 2:24:57
  Speaker 16: all starting to talk about nuclear attacks. I'm telling you,
• 2:24:59
  Speaker 16: before we put boots on the ground, I would bet
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 16: that we soften up the enemy by nuking. And that
• 2:25:04
  Speaker 16: means we kill every living thing wherever we drop that bomb. Men, women, children, dogs, cats,
• 2:25:09
  Speaker 16: Everything but cockroaches. So the stakes are extraordinarily high. But
• 2:25:15
  Speaker 16: I'm just saying, look, let's pay attention. It's important that
• 2:25:18
  Speaker 16: we evaluate this. We decide whether this was a good
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 16: decision or bad. Is it well executed or not? That's
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 16: our job as a citizen. But I don't see the
• 2:25:26
  Speaker 16: need to panic, and I don't see the need to
• 2:25:28
  Speaker 16: ignore it. It's a real threat. But the doom saying
• 2:25:32
  Speaker 16: should stop, this constant fear-mongering. And we got real existential
• 2:25:37
  Speaker 16: issues in this country well beyond what's going on in Iran.
• 2:25:40
  Speaker 16: Like what's going on in our education system where we
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 16: see states putting in performance statistics that should in themselves
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 16: be causing a revolution. You know, there are states that
• 2:25:51
  Speaker 16: have like 34% proficiency in reading on average across the
• 2:25:55
  Speaker 16: whole state. Imagine that. And the parents are like, well,
• 2:25:58
  Speaker 16: I don't know who won football Friday night. So we've
• 2:26:02
  Speaker 16: got some real things to pay attention to. This is
• 2:26:04
  Speaker 16: one of them. But I won't declare victory and I
• 2:26:06
  Speaker 16: won't declare defeat until we have more information.
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 9: Interesting.
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 1: What do you make of the Republicans in Ohio with
• 2:26:14
  Speaker 1: all of this fraud that's going on in Ohio and
• 2:26:16
  Speaker 1: DeWine giving his sales tax breaks to the data centers?
• 2:26:19
  Speaker 1: And this is Republicans. We're not talking about Minnesota and tampon, Tim.
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 16: I've said many times that a three-yard state should be
• 2:26:28
  Speaker 16: leading on policy on every issue. I know that you've
• 2:26:31
  Speaker 16: got hardcore conservative Republican pro-Americans who love their country and
• 2:26:36
  Speaker 16: love their kids in that state. But DeWine is a disaster.
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 16: The best thing that the Attorney General, the acting, and
• 2:26:43
  Speaker 16: the Secretary of State, and all of those guys, the
• 2:26:48
  Speaker 16: Auditor General, they should all team hands, join up right now,
• 2:26:51
  Speaker 16: and start pursuing this stuff just as a matter of
• 2:26:54
  Speaker 16: a campaign strategy. Because if you're going to lose this
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 16: state to radicals, it's going to be because DeWine allowed
• 2:27:01
  Speaker 16: this to happen, and he knew it. You know it.
• 2:27:03
  Speaker 16: We talked about fraud in Ohio openly on the air.
• 2:27:06
  Speaker 16: If we knew, he knew. So, you know, he seems
• 2:27:11
  Speaker 16: to be almost bound and determined to destroy the Republican Party.
• 2:27:14
  Speaker 16: I know there's not much time left, but I'd like
• 2:27:16
  Speaker 16: to see him impeached. Giving any tax benefits or subsidies
• 2:27:21
  Speaker 16: of any kind to data centers is a serious tactical
• 2:27:25
  Speaker 16: and financial error. There's not one single kind, no element
• 2:27:31
  Speaker 16: of public support money that should be spent bringing those
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 16: things in. These companies have valuations in the trillion. The
• 2:27:41
  Speaker 16: way they're setting up these deals is not necessarily going
• 2:27:43
  Speaker 16: to benefit these communities the way they think. These deals
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 16: have to be really thoroughly reviewed. We'll go into this
• 2:27:49
  Speaker 16: another time, but there are just some really important elements
• 2:27:52
  Speaker 16: like decommissioning. Where's the money? Because if we talked about
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 16: the other night, you know, three years in, And these
• 2:27:59
  Speaker 16: things are obsolete. Well, who's taking them apart? Or can
• 2:28:02
  Speaker 16: the buildings be used for other purposes? Who's getting rid
• 2:28:04
  Speaker 16: of all this equipment? Who actually owns the building and
• 2:28:07
  Speaker 16: land and the equipment versus who was leasing it and
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 16: can walk away?
• 2:28:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's also the other issue of the fraud
• 2:28:15
  Speaker 1: that's taking place in Ohio, very similar to Minnesota, where
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 1: it appears just blatant incompetence of looking the other way
• 2:28:25
  Speaker 1: and tons of money being... swindled from the federal government
• 2:28:30
  Speaker 1: and the state government.
• 2:28:32
  Speaker 16: It wasn't incompetent in Minnesota. They were in on it.
• 2:28:34
  Speaker 16: That's crystal clear. Eight years of reporting proves that. In Ohio,
• 2:28:38
  Speaker 16: I hope they were ignorant of it, but it's time
• 2:28:41
  Speaker 16: to ramp up and fix it. Look, if we got
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 16: rid of fraud, all the things that Fifth Avenue was
• 2:28:46
  Speaker 16: complaining about with funding and taxes, if we got rid
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 16: of fraud, we wouldn't have to pay any more taxes.
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 16: In fact, we could pay less. Their estimates by really...
• 2:28:57
  Speaker 16: Thoughtful people who studied this hard have up to a
• 2:29:00
  Speaker 16: trillion dollars of fraud a year in the United States.
• 2:29:03
  Speaker 16: We only pay $ 2. 6 trillion or something like that in
• 2:29:05
  Speaker 16: property in personal income taxes in this country. I'm sorry, nationwide, federal.
• 2:29:11
  Speaker 16: So get rid of this fraud. It's a third of
• 2:29:15
  Speaker 16: what we're paying in personal income taxes. Get rid of
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 16: it and give us the money back. Why are we
• 2:29:21
  Speaker 16: obligated to support all this fraud? Just so that the
• 2:29:23
  Speaker 16: Ferrari dealer can do well? So that the $ 500, 000 home
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 16: has a better market? So that private jets can fly?
• 2:29:31
  Speaker 1: No.
• 2:29:31
  Speaker 16: Cut it out aggressively. And that's exactly what the Republican
• 2:29:35
  Speaker 16: administration right now should do. They should tell DeWine to
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 16: go pound salt. And all those other elected officials who
• 2:29:41
  Speaker 16: are not elected to do DeWine's bidding. They're elected to
• 2:29:44
  Speaker 16: serve the public. Join hands. Break out the calculators and
• 2:29:48
  Speaker 16: the sniffer dog. Go find the fraud and stop it.
• 2:29:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but don't we have the right to say, okay, DeWine,
• 2:29:55
  Speaker 1: why didn't you stop this fraud? We're talking millions, potentially
• 2:30:00
  Speaker 1: billions of dollars when you add it all up. Where
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 1: was our auditor, state auditor? Where was our attorney general?
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 1: All these people in all these offices and all these employees.
• 2:30:12
  Speaker 1: And once again, no one's checking on any of this stuff.
• 2:30:16
  Speaker 1: They're just sending the checks out?
• 2:30:17
  Speaker 16: To be clear, this is a nationwide issue, and we
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 16: absolutely have the right to ask DeWine that question. The
• 2:30:22
  Speaker 16: problem is he doesn't care. Ask it, don't ask it,
• 2:30:25
  Speaker 16: he doesn't care.
• 2:30:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean, you take a look. It's Tampon, Tim.
• 2:30:27
  Speaker 1: It's Newsom. It's DeWine. And I'm sure it's in other states,
• 2:30:31
  Speaker 1: both Republican and Democrat states.
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 9: Not all.
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 1: I would hope not in Florida. But outside of that,
• 2:30:38
  Speaker 1: I think it's in a lot of these other states.
• 2:30:40
  Speaker 1: How many billions of your tax dollars have been swindled
• 2:30:44
  Speaker 1: by people?
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 16: It's trillions. It's trillions. It's absolutely trillions of dollars. And
• 2:30:51
  Speaker 16: it's not just the swindling. It's also paying $ 600 for
• 2:30:55
  Speaker 16: a $ 200 item. It's real estate deals. It's a host
• 2:30:58
  Speaker 16: of things that have been done. Subsidies for projects. Why?
• 2:31:02
  Speaker 16: Just to make more profit for the project owner? Yes.
• 2:31:07
  Speaker 16: We have a systemic problem in this country, and Mike
• 2:31:10
  Speaker 16: DeWine has all the requisite knowledge to have stopped it.
• 2:31:14
  Speaker 10: And he didn't.
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 16: I'm telling you, I think he's on a mission to
• 2:31:17
  Speaker 16: destroy the Republican Party in the state of Ohio. I
• 2:31:20
  Speaker 16: just can't imagine what this guy's thinking other than, I'm
• 2:31:23
  Speaker 16: here for my buddies and the Haitian people.
• 2:31:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but what about the Ohio citizen and taxpayer?
• 2:31:30
  Speaker 16: Screw it. Like everybody else. We're all in this boat together. Remember,
• 2:31:34
  Speaker 16: most of this money comes from the federal till. So
• 2:31:36
  Speaker 16: it's in the $ 40 trillion that's been stolen. Right? It's
• 2:31:40
  Speaker 16: the $ 40 trillion we spent and have nothing to show
• 2:31:42
  Speaker 16: for it. That's why. So we're screwed. I mean, we've
• 2:31:47
  Speaker 16: been taxed to death. I guarantee you that for the
• 2:31:50
  Speaker 16: majority of your listeners who are at least those that
• 2:31:53
  Speaker 16: are working and probably almost everybody, government has got to
• 2:31:56
  Speaker 16: be one of their highest cost items. Between sales tax,
• 2:31:59
  Speaker 16: property tax, all the other taxes they're paying, income taxes,
• 2:32:03
  Speaker 16: all these taxes, fees, fines, all the things you're paying
• 2:32:06
  Speaker 16: the government. I guarantee you that one of the most
• 2:32:08
  Speaker 16: expensive things they pay for is government. That's insanity. But
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 16: that's what we're doing because that the number of people
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 16: with their beacon that draw is uncountable you know twenty
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 16: three million people working in government roughly some like that
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 16: twenty one twenty three and then you've got all the
• 2:32:26
  Speaker 16: people on grants all the people on uh... you know
• 2:32:29
  Speaker 16: i don't know if they're counting the uh... all of
• 2:32:32
  Speaker 16: the educators that but educators getting paid by tax all
• 2:32:36
  Speaker 16: the all of it it's an endless street all of
• 2:32:39
  Speaker 16: lockheed martin is basically employed by government government workers.
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 1: It's got to get fixed.
• 2:32:47
  Speaker 33: Right.
• 2:32:47
  Speaker 1: They love the military war. They love all the conflicts.
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 1: There's always people making money on them. All right, G2,
• 2:32:53
  Speaker 1: appreciate your time on this Friday. Hoping you'll have a
• 2:32:55
  Speaker 1: terrific weekend, great weather. Get back in the bunker and enjoy.

• 2:34:35
  Speaker 9: warm-up show tonight from Progressive Field in downtown Cleveland. It's
• 2:34:40
  Speaker 9: the Guardians and the Boston Red Sox in the opening
• 2:34:44
  Speaker 9: game of a three-game weekend series. Jim Rosenhouse along with
• 2:34:48
  Speaker 9: you about a half hour prior to tonight's first pitch.
• 2:34:51
  Speaker 9: Great night for baseball on a Sugardale dollar dog night.
• 2:34:54
  Speaker 9: Post-game fireworks as well. And the Guardians trying to make
• 2:34:57
  Speaker 9: it two in a row in the win column. After
• 2:35:00
  Speaker 9: their win on Wednesday in the series finale against Washington,
• 2:35:04
  Speaker 9: Cleveland now eight games over the. 500 mark and three
• 2:35:07
  Speaker 9: ahead of the second-place White Sox in the American League
• 2:35:11
  Speaker 9: Central Division. Disappointing season so far for the Red Sox.
• 2:35:15
  Speaker 9: They've already fired their manager, Alex Cora. They come in
• 2:35:19
  Speaker 9: 23-32 on the season. They are at the bottom of
• 2:35:22
  Speaker 9: the American League East, 12 games back of front-running Tampa Bay.
• 2:35:26
  Speaker 9: Stay tuned. We'll have more to come after this. On
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 9: Wednesday afternoon against the Nationals, avoiding a sweep, that means
• 2:35:47
  Speaker 9: they have now not been swept in 28 straight series
• 2:35:52
  Speaker 9: dating back to last August. That's the longest streak in
• 2:35:55
  Speaker 9: the American League heading into play tonight. Stay tuned. We'll
• 2:35:58
  Speaker 9: have more to come after this.
• 2:36:01
  Speaker 25: Here's the Bet365 Minute, where winning is everything, with Scott Davidson.
• 2:36:06
  Speaker 9: Let's look at the numbers tonight.
• 2:36:07
  Speaker 35: The opener from Progressive Field, Guardians minus $ 1. 30, and the
• 2:36:11
  Speaker 35: total is eight.
• 2:36:12
  Speaker 9: Now, two winners in a row this week.
• 2:36:14
  Speaker 1: Let's make it three tonight.
• 2:36:15
  Speaker 35: I got a total that I like, and I'm going
• 2:36:17
  Speaker 35: with the White Sox and the Tigers to go over
• 2:36:20
  Speaker 35: eight and a half. Now, Detroit's pitching staff, it has
• 2:36:22
  Speaker 35: been decimated with injuries.
• 2:36:24
  Speaker 30: Troy Melton, no exception.
• 2:36:25
  Speaker 35: This is just his second start of the year, so
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 35: how deep he'll go, we'll find out. He was okay
• 2:36:30
  Speaker 35: in his first game, but... I like the White Sox
• 2:36:33
  Speaker 35: offense right now. They're rolling with 21 runs over their
• 2:36:36
  Speaker 35: last two games. They hand the ball to Eric Fetty.
• 2:36:38
  Speaker 35: He hasn't been good. Almost a 5.5 ERA through 10 starts.
• 2:36:42
  Speaker 35: White Sox, Tigers, over 8.5 by play of the day.
• 2:36:46

  Speaker 9: to second.
• 2:37:09

• 2:37:09
  Speaker 9: Rocio turns two. How about the kid, Will Dion?
• 2:37:13
  Speaker 36: A five-pitch Major League debut, and he retires the Nats
• 2:37:19
  Speaker 36: here in the seventh.
• 2:37:22
  Speaker 9: Welcome back to Guardian Swarm Up. We're joined by Will Dion,
• 2:37:25
  Speaker 9: who made his Major League debut on Tuesday night here. Will,
• 2:37:29
  Speaker 9: what a... sure it's a thrill for anybody and and
• 2:37:32
  Speaker 9: for you the the journey has had its ups and
• 2:37:34
  Speaker 9: downs what was it like out there on tuesday night.
• 2:37:36
  Speaker 5: For you uh it was it was incredible i mean
• 2:37:39
  Speaker 5: i can't even put into words like how awesome and
• 2:37:42
  Speaker 5: special it was it was a day like i dreamed
• 2:37:46
  Speaker 5: of as a kid.
• 2:37:47
  Speaker 9: So I'm sure any pitcher wonders, hey, will my stuff
• 2:37:51
  Speaker 9: play in the major leagues? You get through three innings successfully.
• 2:37:57
  Speaker 9: At what point did you say, hey, my stuff's working
• 2:37:59
  Speaker 9: up here and I know I belong up here?
• 2:38:02
  Speaker 30: I'd probably say in spring.
• 2:38:03
  Speaker 4: I trusted my stuff in spring.
• 2:38:05
  Speaker 5: I made some changes in seeing how my stuff played
• 2:38:08
  Speaker 5: in spring training against those hitters. It gave me the
• 2:38:11
  Speaker 5: confidence to go in this year and to be able
• 2:38:13
  Speaker 5: to go out there to trust the catchers too.
• 2:38:16
  Speaker 9: When you look at your journey, obviously not easy. Take
• 2:38:19
  Speaker 9: us back to last summer when you were asked to
• 2:38:21
  Speaker 9: go to the bullpen and see how that would work out.
• 2:38:23
  Speaker 9: What were your initial reactions and how did you get
• 2:38:26
  Speaker 9: through that to make it a positive?
• 2:38:29
  Speaker 4: At first I was mad.
• 2:38:31
  Speaker 5: I was a starter my whole life and being moved
• 2:38:37
  Speaker 5: to the bullpen it was caught off guard for the
• 2:38:41
  Speaker 5: most part. So I was upset, frustrated, but After two
• 2:38:47
  Speaker 5: weeks or so, I swallowed my pride and went to
• 2:38:52
  Speaker 5: the bullpen. I enjoyed every second of it and heads
• 2:38:56
  Speaker 5: up and downs out of the bullpen like every other
• 2:38:59
  Speaker 5: outing in a year. But I was able to actually
• 2:39:03
  Speaker 5: find enjoyment in this game again. So that was probably
• 2:39:08
  Speaker 5: one of the best parts.
• 2:39:09
  Speaker 9: I think everybody takes that for granted that players enjoy
• 2:39:13
  Speaker 9: the game yeah but what can the frustrations be and
• 2:39:15
  Speaker 9: then when you do find that joy again how much
• 2:39:17
  Speaker 9: of a difference can that make.
• 2:39:20
  Speaker 5: You become grateful like and thankful like going through those
• 2:39:24
  Speaker 5: ups and downs and uh being frustrated and you're like
• 2:39:27
  Speaker 5: you know what maybe maybe like god does have a
• 2:39:30
  Speaker 5: plan and you just trust his plan and uh his
• 2:39:33
  Speaker 5: plan for me is to be in the bullpen the
• 2:39:36
  Speaker 5: whole goal was for me to actually find enjoyment in
• 2:39:39
  Speaker 5: baseball and that's what exactly happened so.
• 2:39:42
  Speaker 9: Stuff-wise, is it different out of the pen or fairly similar?
• 2:39:48
  Speaker 5: I'd say it's different out of the pen. It's a
• 2:39:49
  Speaker 5: lot more my mentality of just, like, pound the zone,
• 2:39:54
  Speaker 5: try to get in and out. Starting was more structured,
• 2:39:58
  Speaker 5: more of a plan. You've got to prepare for three
• 2:40:01
  Speaker 5: or four times. Bullpen, it's probably going to face these
• 2:40:05
  Speaker 5: guys once. If I face them twice, I'll figure it out.
• 2:40:08
  Speaker 5: Second time, but for the most part, here's everything.
• 2:40:12
  Speaker 4: Good luck.
• 2:40:13
  Speaker 9: You look at sharing it with people that are so
• 2:40:16
  Speaker 9: important in your life. Tell us about who was here
• 2:40:19
  Speaker 9: for your debut and why that was so important.
• 2:40:22
  Speaker 5: It was my wife, my parents, and my in-laws. I'm
• 2:40:25
  Speaker 5: truly thankful that they were able to make it out
• 2:40:27
  Speaker 5: and I was able to share this day with them.
• 2:40:30
  Speaker 4: It was truly special.
• 2:40:32
  Speaker 5: It's a day that we'll never forget.
• 2:40:35
  Speaker 9: Andy Tracy, the AAA manager, has made a living out
• 2:40:39
  Speaker 9: of telling guys they can go to the big leagues.
• 2:40:41
  Speaker 9: How did he tell you and what were your reactions?
• 2:40:45
  Speaker 5: He told me in my hotel room Monday night.
• 2:40:48
  Speaker 4: It was me and my roommate, Ryan Webb.
• 2:40:51
  Speaker 5: We were getting ready to play the show, and we
• 2:40:53
  Speaker 5: were getting ready to go golfing the next day, and
• 2:40:55
  Speaker 5: Tracy knocks on the door, and he comes in, and
• 2:41:00
  Speaker 5: he's asking us if we got our golf vouchers, and
• 2:41:03
  Speaker 5: we were like, no. He goes, well, we need golf vouchers,
• 2:41:08
  Speaker 5: so we're going to order some. Webb, are you going golfing?
• 2:41:11
  Speaker 9: He said, yeah.
• 2:41:12
  Speaker 4: And he asked me if I was going golfing. I said, yeah,
• 2:41:15
  Speaker 4: of course. And he goes, you sure you don't want
• 2:41:18
  Speaker 4: to go to Cleveland? I was like, yeah, I'll.
• 2:41:20
  Speaker 5: Go to Cleveland.
• 2:41:22
  Speaker 9: And that is a perfect way to go.
• 2:41:24
  Speaker 4: Will, congratulations. Thank you.
• 2:41:25
  Speaker 19: Thank you.
• 2:41:26
  Speaker 9: That's Guardians relief pitcher Will Dion made his major league
• 2:41:30

  Speaker 9: Manager Show, next. Hi again, everybody. With Cleveland manager Stephen Boat,
• 2:46:35
  Speaker 9: this is Tom Hamilton. Welcome to the Manager's Show brought
• 2:46:38
  Speaker 9: to you by KeyBank. Man, did that break come at
• 2:46:43
  Speaker 9: the right time for your ball club. What a way
• 2:46:45
  Speaker 9: to go into it with a win over Washington. Explain
• 2:46:49
  Speaker 9: why just a day off at home is so much
• 2:46:53
  Speaker 9: different and so much better.
• 2:46:55
  Speaker 4: You're not traveling.
• 2:46:55
  Speaker 13: I mean, you're sleeping in your bed. You get to
• 2:46:58
  Speaker 13: have a home-cooked meal. You get to hang out with
• 2:46:59
  Speaker 13: your family. You can catch up on things. errands you
• 2:47:03
  Speaker 13: need to run over the last two weeks. I mean,
• 2:47:05
  Speaker 13: it's just great to get an off day at home
• 2:47:08
  Speaker 13: to where you're not traveling. You know you're coming back
• 2:47:10
  Speaker 13: to our ballpark. They don't happen very often. And so
• 2:47:12
  Speaker 13: when you get one, a lot of guys go play golf.
• 2:47:14
  Speaker 13: A lot of guys will spend the day just being
• 2:47:16
  Speaker 13: at home. And so it gives you an opportunity to
• 2:47:18
  Speaker 13: do the things that you've wanted to do. for a
• 2:47:20
  Speaker 13: couple of weeks and get them done.
• 2:47:22
  Speaker 9: I can imagine what it is for you, but take
• 2:47:24
  Speaker 9: yourself back to being a player. Voter, did a day
• 2:47:28
  Speaker 9: off help you more mentally than physically?
• 2:47:31
  Speaker 34: Absolutely.
• 2:47:32
  Speaker 13: You get to turn off for, you know, especially with
• 2:47:34
  Speaker 13: an off day at home, you kind of get to
• 2:47:36
  Speaker 13: turn off for over 48 hours.
• 2:47:37
  Speaker 4: And, uh, When you're able to.
• 2:47:39
  Speaker 13: Do that, you can zoom out, you can not worry
• 2:47:43
  Speaker 13: about results for a day, and you can really get
• 2:47:45
  Speaker 13: back to like, okay, what do I need to do?
• 2:47:47
  Speaker 13: What adjustments do I need to make? What's my routine
• 2:47:50
  Speaker 13: going to look like on Friday when I get back?
• 2:47:52
  Speaker 13: And it gives you a lot of time to process
• 2:47:53
  Speaker 13: kind of where you are and not be thinking about
• 2:47:55
  Speaker 13: the game.
• 2:47:56
  Speaker 9: I know you have no say in the schedule, so
• 2:47:59
  Speaker 9: you just play when they tell you. You've played more
• 2:48:02
  Speaker 9: games than any team. You've had a number of these
• 2:48:04
  Speaker 9: where you play 13 games in a row. Sometimes you'll
• 2:48:07
  Speaker 9: start a year with so many off days, it's hard
• 2:48:10
  Speaker 9: to get into a rhythm. Do you actually prefer this
• 2:48:13
  Speaker 9: that you've played a lot? Now that we're done with it.
• 2:48:16
  Speaker 13: You know, I think every team gets the same amount
• 2:48:18
  Speaker 13: of off days to play the same amount of games. And,
• 2:48:20
  Speaker 13: you know, I know we have a number of off
• 2:48:22
  Speaker 13: days coming up in June, which is nice. But, you know,
• 2:48:25
  Speaker 13: there really isn't, I don't know if one is better
• 2:48:27
  Speaker 13: than the other, because every team goes through it and
• 2:48:28
  Speaker 13: you play the same amount of games, you play the
• 2:48:30
  Speaker 13: same teams. And You know, everybody's got a tough schedule
• 2:48:33
  Speaker 13: in their own regard because it is 162 games in
• 2:48:35
  Speaker 13: 183 days. And no matter how you split that up,
• 2:48:38
  Speaker 13: it's going to be taxing.
• 2:48:40
  Speaker 9: So the bereavement list for Stephen Kwan due to a
• 2:48:44
  Speaker 9: family matter, Stuart Fairchild comes up from Columbus.
• 2:48:49
  Speaker 1: Why Stuart?
• 2:48:51
  Speaker 9: And you've got to tell us the story about how
• 2:48:53
  Speaker 9: you actually were teammates in your first kind of meeting together,
• 2:48:58
  Speaker 9: so to speak.
• 2:48:59
  Speaker 13: Yeah, so obviously our thoughts are with Kwani and his
• 2:49:02
  Speaker 13: family and what they're going through. But, you know, it's
• 2:49:05
  Speaker 13: beautiful that Major League Baseball has this where he can
• 2:49:07
  Speaker 13: go be with his family during a tough time.
• 2:49:09
  Speaker 4: So we'll miss Steven. But, yeah, Stuart's here.
• 2:49:12
  Speaker 13: And we wanted to get Stuart here, another right-handed bat,
• 2:49:15
  Speaker 13: another somebody who can play center field. And I think
• 2:49:18
  Speaker 13: it's going to complement the roster really well for the weekend. And,
• 2:49:21
  Speaker 13: you know, so Stuart and I were teammates with the
• 2:49:24
  Speaker 13: Diamondbacks back in 2021. And, uh, he got called up about,
• 2:49:28
  Speaker 13: I can't remember what month I'm sure he'll remember, but, um,
• 2:49:31
  Speaker 13: his major league debut was pinch running for me, which
• 2:49:33
  Speaker 13: I was more than thrilled. Like, come on out, come
• 2:49:35
  Speaker 13: get this 36 year old catcher.
• 2:49:36
  Speaker 1: They can't run.
• 2:49:37
  Speaker 4: And, um, so Stuart and I got to play together
• 2:49:39
  Speaker 4: for a few, few months in 2021.
• 2:49:41
  Speaker 40: Is this bizarre for you?
• 2:49:43
  Speaker 9: You're managing a guy that you played with?
• 2:49:45
  Speaker 41: Yeah.
• 2:49:45
  Speaker 4: He's, I think he's number three or four.
• 2:49:47
  Speaker 13: Um, you know, we had Ramon Laureano and Tyler Beattie
• 2:49:49
  Speaker 13: back in 2024.
• 2:49:50
  Speaker 4: And, um, so it is, it's a little bit different, but, um,
• 2:49:55
  Speaker 4: I'm so far removed from playing.
• 2:49:56
  Speaker 13: It feels like eons ago that I was playing, but
• 2:49:59
  Speaker 13: it is pretty cool to kind of come full circle
• 2:50:02
  Speaker 13: with guys.
• 2:50:02
  Speaker 9: You're in first place. I know you don't get caught
• 2:50:05
  Speaker 9: up in that now, but you've played really well now
• 2:50:07
  Speaker 9: for two months. Voter, in some ways, how are you
• 2:50:11
  Speaker 9: doing this year? The last two, three weeks, you've had
• 2:50:14
  Speaker 9: a number of guys scuffling at the plate, but yet
• 2:50:16
  Speaker 9: you keep winning.
• 2:50:17
  Speaker 4: Our pitching.
• 2:50:18
  Speaker 13: Our pitching has been so good, and That's how we're built.
• 2:50:21
  Speaker 13: We're built to win with pitching and defense, and then
• 2:50:24
  Speaker 13: the offense is trending. I really like the way we're
• 2:50:26
  Speaker 13: swinging the bats.
• 2:50:27
  Speaker 4: It was a tough week.
• 2:50:28
  Speaker 13: We ran into some tough arms, and we got away
• 2:50:31
  Speaker 13: from our identity a little bit. That's going to happen again.
• 2:50:33
  Speaker 13: I hate to break it, but we're going to go
• 2:50:35
  Speaker 13: through these weeks. They're going to happen, and it's how
• 2:50:38
  Speaker 13: can we limit those weeks to three, four days? How
• 2:50:40
  Speaker 13: can we limit those three, four days to one? That's
• 2:50:43
  Speaker 13: where a young team, we're going to continue to learn
• 2:50:45
  Speaker 13: and help these guys understand that it doesn't matter what
• 2:50:47
  Speaker 13: happened yesterday, and there's no tomorrow.
• 2:50:49
  Speaker 4: It's all about today.
• 2:50:50
  Speaker 9: You know, you and I haven't talked about him at
• 2:50:52
  Speaker 9: all for the most part. I mean, Cade Smith has
• 2:50:56
  Speaker 9: been on a run here since the middle of April.
• 2:50:58
  Speaker 9: That's as good as anybody in the game. What stands
• 2:51:02
  Speaker 9: out to you when you talk about Cade?
• 2:51:04
  Speaker 4: Command. I mean, he's throwing the ball where he wants
• 2:51:07
  Speaker 4: it to go.
• 2:51:07
  Speaker 13: You know, early in the year was dealing with some
• 2:51:09
  Speaker 13: delivery issues and the command was off, you know, pitching
• 2:51:12
  Speaker 13: in bad counts, the split movement wasn't great. And, uh,
• 2:51:15
  Speaker 13: But now he's throwing his fastball where he wants to.
• 2:51:17
  Speaker 13: The split command has been great, and that sweeper is
• 2:51:19
  Speaker 13: really coming along as a.
• 2:51:20
  Speaker 4: Really good third pitch. So when you know you're going to.
• 2:51:23
  Speaker 13: Face Cade Smith, you know you're going to get fastballs
• 2:51:25
  Speaker 13: over the plate, and you've got to be ready for it.
• 2:51:28
  Speaker 13: But then he'll drop a split or a sweeper, and
• 2:51:30
  Speaker 13: it's not a fastball. So we've just got to continue
• 2:51:33
  Speaker 13: to keep Cade where he is, not overuse him. And
• 2:51:36
  Speaker 13: when we do get these games where we're ahead, let's
• 2:51:39
  Speaker 13: keep adding on runs so we can avoid using our
• 2:51:41
  Speaker 13: big boys at the back end.
• 2:51:42
  Speaker 9: Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt, Tom Hamilton, inviting you to stay tuned.
• 2:51:46

• 2:54:18
  Speaker 9: He'll open tonight for Brian Baio, normally a starter. He's
• 2:54:22
  Speaker 9: 2-5 on the year with an earned run average of 1.04.

• 3:03:42
  Speaker 9: and the Red Sox will be going at it in September.
• 3:03:46
  Speaker 9: That'll be the last week of September when Cleveland finishes
• 3:03:50
  Speaker 9: up on the road in Boston. and in Kansas City.
• 3:03:54
  Speaker 9: Hi again, everybody. This is Tom Hamilton along with the
• 3:03:57
  Speaker 9: old Rosebud, Jim Rosenhaus, and the very young and single
• 3:04:02
  Speaker 9: Brian Motze at Command Center. What a gorgeous night on
• 3:04:06
  Speaker 9: the shores of Lake Erie. Not a cloud in the sky.
• 3:04:10
  Speaker 9: That really bright thing in the sky, that is called
• 3:04:13
  Speaker 9: the sun. Something we haven't seen in northeastern Ohio for
• 3:04:17
  Speaker 9: much of the 2026 baseball season. But a beautiful weekend
• 3:04:23
  Speaker 9: in store. Hope you'll be a part of it. We
• 3:04:25
  Speaker 9: have a light breeze blowing out. And finally, we have
• 3:04:29
  Speaker 9: legitimate baseball weather here in downtown Cleveland. Guardians in first
• 3:04:34
  Speaker 9: place at 33-25. They have a three-game lead over the
• 3:04:39
  Speaker 9: White Sox in the AL Central. And the Boston Red Sox,
• 3:04:44
  Speaker 9: believe it or not, dead last in the AL East.
• 3:04:48
  Speaker 9: They're already 12 games out of first. The Red Sox,
• 3:04:53
  Speaker 9: a stunning start at 23-32. And boy, oh boy, you
• 3:04:57
  Speaker 9: talk about a... A long climb back into playoff contention.
• 3:05:06
  Speaker 9: You can forget about winning the East because, let's face it,
• 3:05:10
  Speaker 9: it's one thing if you've got one team to chase
• 3:05:13
  Speaker 9: like Cleveland did last year in the Detroit Tigers, but...
• 3:05:17
  Speaker 9: Boston's looking at Tampa Bay, the Yankees, Toronto. Those are
• 3:05:23
  Speaker 9: all three playoff teams as far as the caliber of
• 3:05:28
  Speaker 9: those ball clubs. They're a long way back. But again,
• 3:05:31
  Speaker 9: when you've got the wild card, three of them, you're
• 3:05:34
  Speaker 9: really never out of it, especially when we still haven't
• 3:05:38
  Speaker 9: reached the month of June. The umpiring tonight, John Tumpain,
• 3:05:43
  Speaker 9: the home plate umpire and the crew chief. It'll be
• 3:05:45
  Speaker 9: Brennan Miller at first, Austin Jones at second, Ben May
• 3:05:49
  Speaker 9: at third. 325 down the lines, 370 to left center,
• 3:05:54
  Speaker 9: 375 to right center, 400 to dead center. The 19-foot
• 3:05:59
  Speaker 9: wall from the left field corner to center, then from
• 3:06:02
  Speaker 9: center to the right field corner, the 9-foot wall. Slade
• 3:06:07
  Speaker 9: Ciccone gets the baseball tonight for Cleveland. The right-hander is
• 3:06:12
  Speaker 9: starting to change things up a bit in visiting with
• 3:06:16
  Speaker 9: Slade here since his last start. He admitted that, look,
• 3:06:21
  Speaker 9: I've quit throwing the slider. It's just not a good
• 3:06:24
  Speaker 9: enough pitch. And what he has incorporated now is a
• 3:06:28
  Speaker 9: split finger. So what Slade Ciccone is going with now
• 3:06:33
  Speaker 9: are really three different fastballs. The four-seamer... the sinker and
• 3:06:38
  Speaker 9: the cutter then he has the curve and now he's
• 3:06:41
  Speaker 9: added that split finger as one of his off-speed pitches
• 3:06:46
  Speaker 9: and so it is still a work in progress and
• 3:06:50
  Speaker 9: we'll see how much he uses it tonight he is
• 3:06:53
  Speaker 9: really excited about it you think about it folks you're
• 3:06:58
  Speaker 9: two months into the season and you're coming up with
• 3:07:01
  Speaker 9: a new pitch, and oh yeah, by the way, let's
• 3:07:04
  Speaker 9: throw it against Major League hitters. That takes a lot
• 3:07:07
  Speaker 9: of conviction and a lot of confidence. We'll see how
• 3:07:10
  Speaker 9: much he uses it here tonight against a Red Sox
• 3:07:14
  Speaker 9: team that is the worst offensive team in the American League,
• 3:07:19
  Speaker 9: and That is hard to fathom when you play 81
• 3:07:22
  Speaker 9: games at Fenway Park. Jaron Durant will lead it off.
• 3:07:26
  Speaker 9: The left-handed hitting left fielder. Durant starting to get it going,
• 3:07:31
  Speaker 9: but had a really tough start to his campaign. On
• 3:07:35
  Speaker 9: the year, batting 213, 8 homers, 28 RBIs. Ciccone the set,
• 3:07:41
  Speaker 9: and tonight's first pitch, and it's in there, a strike.
• 3:07:45
  Speaker 9: We're underway here at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario.
• 3:07:48
  Speaker 9: 70 degrees, our game time temp. Ciccone is ready. He
• 3:07:57
  Speaker 9: lets it fly. And Duran hits a weak ground ball
• 3:08:01
  Speaker 9: to first. Actually, it hit off of him. It's a
• 3:08:05
  Speaker 9: foul ball, says home plate umpire John Tumpain. That is
• 3:08:10
  Speaker 9: why it became such a weak ground ball to first
• 3:08:13
  Speaker 9: as Duran hit that right off the top of his
• 3:08:16
  Speaker 9: front foot. Duran has been getting it going lately, batting.
• 3:08:21
  Speaker 9: 340 over his last 11 games. Red Sox tonight. Red jerseys,
• 3:08:27
  Speaker 9: the navy blue, white trim, and the gray pants. Cleveland,
• 3:08:31
  Speaker 9: they've got the City Connect jerseys.
• 3:08:34
  Speaker 36: Now the 0-2 pitch. And it's a touch inside. One ball,
• 3:08:40
  Speaker 36: two strikes. Outfield deep toward right field for Duran. This
• 3:08:46
  Speaker 36: guy has power. He runs well. One of the more
• 3:08:50
  Speaker 36: exciting players in the American League. The next offering backs
• 3:08:54
  Speaker 36: him off the plate. 2-2 the count. Slade Ciccone faced
• 3:09:00
  Speaker 36: Boston once last year. That's the only time he's pitched
• 3:09:03
  Speaker 36: against them. It did not go well last September at Fenway.
• 3:09:08
  Speaker 36: Now the 2-2 delivery. And it's swung on. Bang foul
• 3:09:13
  Speaker 36: first base side.
• 3:09:14
  Speaker 9: Will do it again. He had a no decision last
• 3:09:18
  Speaker 9: year at Fenway. A game Cleveland lost 11-7. He gave
• 3:09:21
  Speaker 9: up Seven runs in five and a third. But this
• 3:09:28
  Speaker 9: is a whole different Boston club offensively. My goodness, are
• 3:09:32
  Speaker 9: they scuffling. Now the 2-2 pitch.
• 3:09:36
  Speaker 36: Swung and lined a third over the leaping Ramirez in
• 3:09:39
  Speaker 36: the left of ace hit. So Jaron Duran got down
• 3:09:45
  Speaker 36: in the count and ends up with a single the
• 3:09:48
  Speaker 36: other way. And that'll bring up Zaydon Raffaella. Sadon Raffaella,
• 3:09:54
  Speaker 36: the gifted right-handed hitting center fielder, batting. 283, five homers,
• 3:10:00
  Speaker 36: 23 RBIs. Duran, a threat to run. He's 10 for
• 3:10:06
  Speaker 36: 10 in that department. The pitch, punted back, foul, strike one.
• 3:10:11
  Speaker 36: Red Sox do more bunting and running than maybe teams
• 3:10:15
  Speaker 36: of the past. I mean, you look at Boston, and
• 3:10:20
  Speaker 36: right now, They're seventh in the American League with 40 steals,
• 3:10:25
  Speaker 36: but there were a lot of years Boston didn't have
• 3:10:28
  Speaker 36: 40 steals in a season. Now the 0-1 to Raffaella,
• 3:10:33
  Speaker 36: and it's in there 0-2.
• 3:10:34
  Speaker 9: Durant with those 10 steals yet to be caught leads
• 3:10:43
  Speaker 9: Boston in that department. Now the pitch. Swung on a
• 3:10:50
  Speaker 9: chopper near second. Clubbed by Bazana. Steps. Throws. Double play.
• 3:10:56
  Speaker 9: Now that was tailor made right at the bag at second.
• 3:11:00
  Speaker 9: And Bazana turns two. Angel Martinez in left. Daniel Schneeman
• 3:11:05
  Speaker 9: patrol center. Chase DeLauder in right. Kyle Manzardo at first.
• 3:11:09
  Speaker 9: Travis Bazana at second. Ryan Rocchio at short. Jose Ramirez
• 3:11:14
  Speaker 9: at third. And a Patrick Bailey doing the catching. No score.
• 3:11:19
  Speaker 9: Boston batting. First inning. Base is empty. Two down for
• 3:11:23
  Speaker 9: Willier Abreu. Fouling it upstairs. Strike one. This is a
• 3:11:28
  Speaker 9: really good player. Man, how many times has he robbed
• 3:11:32
  Speaker 9: Cleveland of home runs or extra base hits playing right field?
• 3:11:37
  Speaker 9: Left-handed power hitter batting 286. Six homers, 22 ribbies. The pitch,
• 3:11:43
  Speaker 9: and it's outside of ball. Slate Ciccone on the year.
• 3:11:48
  Speaker 9: Three wins, five losses, 518 ERA, 12th start, five innings
• 3:11:53
  Speaker 9: to start, seven strikeouts, three walks per nine. The pitch,
• 3:11:58
  Speaker 9: and it's fouled back in the count of one and two.
• 3:12:01
  Speaker 9: The thing about Ciccone, though, he's pitched much better lately.
• 3:12:06
  Speaker 9: In his last four starts against Philly, Detroit, the Angels,
• 3:12:11
  Speaker 9: and Kansas City, A 2-1 record in those four starts
• 3:12:16
  Speaker 9: with a 2-91 ERA. Now the pitch swung on. A
• 3:12:20
  Speaker 9: tamper foul first base side. And the count stays 1-2. Boy,
• 3:12:27
  Speaker 9: he has gone to a lot of sinkers and four-seam fastballs.
• 3:12:31
  Speaker 9: Here in the top of the first, Boston yet to score.
• 3:12:33
  Speaker 9: Two outs, nobody on. Dollar Bank, the proud banking partner

• 3:12:56
  Speaker 36: Slade Ciccone. Boston not able to dent the scoring column.

• 3:15:00
  Speaker 9: We go to the bottom half of inning number one.
• 3:15:03
  Speaker 9: Once again, Cleveland sees a relief pitcher start against him.
• 3:15:06
  Speaker 9: Of course, left-handed. Travis Bozzana takes, and the pitch is
• 3:15:10
  Speaker 9: up and in. Ball one. Boston's taking a page out
• 3:15:14
  Speaker 9: of the Washington book, although they've been doing this a bunch.
• 3:15:18
  Speaker 9: We'll tell you about it. The left-hander to Bozzana, and
• 3:15:22
  Speaker 9: the pitch a wave job, one and one. His name,
• 3:15:25
  Speaker 9: Tyler Sabaniedo. And Samanedo, just up from the minor leagues, 6'4, 219.
• 3:15:37
  Speaker 9: The 1-1, a swing and a miss, 1-2 the count.
• 3:15:41
  Speaker 9: Pretty good fastball, 94 miles an hour. Samanedo is the
• 3:15:50
  Speaker 9: guy or one of the guys Boston uses out of
• 3:15:54
  Speaker 9: the bullpen The 1-2 pitch. Bazana swings and misses. Travis
• 3:16:00
  Speaker 9: didn't look like he saw the ball very well. Now,
• 3:16:04
  Speaker 9: right now, both the hitter and the pitcher, for the
• 3:16:07
  Speaker 9: most part, are in the shadows. But then Sunshine begins
• 3:16:12
  Speaker 9: right after the mound out into middle deep center field.
• 3:16:16
  Speaker 9: And Travis Bazana just didn't look like he saw the
• 3:16:20
  Speaker 9: ball very well at all.
• 3:16:22
  Speaker 36: Here's Jose Ramirez, switch hitter batting right-handed. Samanedo's pitch outside
• 3:16:28
  Speaker 36: a ball.
• 3:16:29
  Speaker 9: Samanedo is 0-2, but a 1.04 ERA.
• 3:16:35
  Speaker 36: 18 previous relief appearances. The pitch, and it's swung and
• 3:16:41
  Speaker 36: drilled to left. That's a base hit. Got a hanging
• 3:16:44
  Speaker 36: breaking ball, and Ramirez lashes a single to left. That'll
• 3:16:48
  Speaker 36: bring up Chase DeLong. Samanyedo is doing this, starting a
• 3:16:56
  Speaker 36: ball game in front of the normal starter for the
• 3:17:01
  Speaker 36: first time in his major league career. But they've been
• 3:17:05
  Speaker 36: using left-handed relievers to start in front of what should
• 3:17:10
  Speaker 36: have been tonight's starting pitcher, Brian Bale. Chase DeLauder takes
• 3:17:15
  Speaker 36: down and away. Bale has been so bad this year
• 3:17:19
  Speaker 36: that since they started bringing him out of the bullpen
• 3:17:22
  Speaker 36: to pitch the majority of the game, he's been much
• 3:17:25
  Speaker 36: better than when he starts the game. Left on left,
• 3:17:30
  Speaker 36: one out, one on, no score. The pitch, broken bat,
• 3:17:33
  Speaker 36: floater towards third. Charged by Durbin, clubs, throws, not in time.
• 3:17:38
  Speaker 36: Shattered bat. But it's a base hit bat.
• 3:17:45
  Speaker 9: He jammed the heck out of DeLauder, hit a little
• 3:17:48
  Speaker 9: floater that landed on the grass between the mound and
• 3:17:53
  Speaker 9: the foul line and charging in at third, Durbin did
• 3:17:56
  Speaker 9: all he could but He was not going to get DeLauder,
• 3:18:00
  Speaker 9: who's got an infield hit. So Guardians at first and second.
• 3:18:05
  Speaker 9: One out in the first. Here's Reese Hoskins, the DH,
• 3:18:09
  Speaker 9: batting 189, five homers, 20 RBIs. One way you can
• 3:18:14
  Speaker 9: blow up this plan is get to the relief pitcher
• 3:18:18
  Speaker 9: starting the game before the starter comes in. That pitch
• 3:18:22
  Speaker 9: up high, ball one. Tyler... Samanyedo. Born in Huntsville, Alabama.
• 3:18:35
  Speaker 9: Samanyedo delivering, and it's swung and drilled to left. That's
• 3:18:39
  Speaker 9: a base hit. Ramirez hits third. He's coming home. The
• 3:18:43
  Speaker 9: throw by Duran, not nearly in time to the plate.
• 3:18:46
  Speaker 9: Hosey slides in easily with the first run of the game.
• 3:18:51
  Speaker 36: So the Guardians with three consecutive base hits off Samanedo.
• 3:18:56
  Speaker 36: And RBI single to left by Reese Hoskins. He's knocked
• 3:19:01
  Speaker 36: in 21. And Guardians still at first and second. The
• 3:19:05
  Speaker 36: Lauder stopping at second. And it's 1-0 Cleveland. And left-handed
• 3:19:10
  Speaker 36: batting Kyle Manzardo to the plate. Left on left, the
• 3:19:16
  Speaker 36: first baseman digs in. And checks on a pitch down
• 3:19:20
  Speaker 36: and away. Manzardo is hitting almost 200 points better against
• 3:19:28
  Speaker 36: left-handed pitching than right-handed pitching.
• 3:19:31
  Speaker 9: Which is strange. The lefties pitch. And it's swung and
• 3:19:36
  Speaker 9: lined into right field. A base hit. That'll load them up.
• 3:19:41
  Speaker 36: Everybody had to wait and make sure that ball was
• 3:19:44
  Speaker 36: going to be lined over the infield into right. And
• 3:19:48
  Speaker 36: four straight Cleveland hits. And oh, do they have a
• 3:19:52
  Speaker 36: chance here in inning number one to do big-time damage.
• 3:19:57
  Speaker 36: And running out of the first base dugout is the
• 3:19:59
  Speaker 36: pitching coach, Andrew Bailey, who's basically the last of the Mohicans.
• 3:20:05
  Speaker 9: Pretty much everybody was fired.
• 3:20:08
  Speaker 36: By the head of baseball operations, Craig Breslow, Alex Cora,
• 3:20:14
  Speaker 36: and most of his coaching staff were fired after a
• 3:20:19
  Speaker 36: 17-1 win. That happened on April 25th. The Red Sox
• 3:20:27
  Speaker 36: at the time were 10-17. And it's almost like a
• 3:20:33
  Speaker 36: new coaching staff under the interim manager, Chad Tracy, whom
• 3:20:38
  Speaker 36: they brought up from AAA Worcester. Martinez will bat right-handed,
• 3:20:45
  Speaker 36: switch hitter. The pitch, and he rips one into right center.
• 3:20:49
  Speaker 36: That's a base hit. De Lauder scores. Hoskins stops at third.
• 3:20:54
  Speaker 9: Now the ball got away.
• 3:20:55
  Speaker 36: And on to home comes Hoskins with a head-first dive.
• 3:21:01
  Speaker 9: And the Guardians have a 3-0 lead. Everybody was going
• 3:21:06
  Speaker 9: up just one base on the RBI single to right center.
• 3:21:11
  Speaker 36: But then Raffaello overran the ball. And the Guardians get
• 3:21:16
  Speaker 36: an extra run. And it is now a 3-0 game.
• 3:21:22
  Speaker 36: And give Angel Martinez one RBI. And the other run
• 3:21:27
  Speaker 36: scoring on the air. First and second for Daniel Sneeman.
• 3:21:31
  Speaker 36: Pitch down and away.
• 3:21:32
  Speaker 9: Ball one.
• 3:21:34
  Speaker 36: And this is how you blow up the strategy of
• 3:21:37
  Speaker 36: starting a bullpen arm instead of your normal starter. You
• 3:21:42
  Speaker 36: blow up the guy that starts, and Samanyedo has now
• 3:21:47
  Speaker 36: given up five straight hits. And Cleveland now leads this
• 3:21:52
  Speaker 36: ballgame 3-0, one out, first and second. Left on left, Schneeman,
• 3:21:58
  Speaker 36: the seventh man to bat, cuts and misses to even
• 3:22:01
  Speaker 36: the count. And what Cleveland's done, five straight singles. Daniel
• 3:22:10
  Speaker 36: Schneeman batting. 244 homers, 19 RBIs. A look back at second,
• 3:22:16
  Speaker 36: the pitch, and it's in there. Jaron Duran in left.
• 3:22:22
  Speaker 36: Sadon Raffaella in center. Wealdier Abreu in right.
• 3:22:28
  Speaker 9: We'll give you the rest of the Red Sox defense
• 3:22:31
  Speaker 9: after this 1-2 pitch. Here it comes. And it's way
• 3:22:35
  Speaker 9: outside 2-2. Coming from the Cardinals, Wilson Contreras at first.
• 3:22:41
  Speaker 9: Isaiah Kainer-Valefa has re-emerged at second. The youngster, Marcelo Meyer,
• 3:22:48
  Speaker 9: at short. Caleb Durbin at third, Mickey Gasper the catcher.
• 3:22:52
  Speaker 9: The pitch swung on, hit in the air, near the
• 3:22:55
  Speaker 9: line and right, dropping for a base hit. Abreu cuts
• 3:22:59
  Speaker 9: it off. It's another bases loaded scenario. Again, Manzardo and
• 3:23:04
  Speaker 9: Martinez had to make sure that Abreu couldn't catch that
• 3:23:09
  Speaker 9: ball running toward the line and right. And Daniel Schneeman
• 3:23:13
  Speaker 9: collects Cleveland's sixth consecutive single. And they're loaded up with
• 3:23:19
  Speaker 9: one down for Patrick Bailey.
• 3:23:22
  Speaker 36: The switch hitting catcher batting eighth. He'll swing it right handed.
• 3:23:27
  Speaker 36: Infield back double play depth.
• 3:23:29
  Speaker 9: The pitch. A swing and a fly ball to fairly
• 3:23:33
  Speaker 9: deep right.
• 3:23:34
  Speaker 36: Abreu drifting back near the track makes the catch.
• 3:23:38
  Speaker 9: Everybody tagging. Throw to second.
• 3:23:40
  Speaker 16: Tag.
• 3:23:41
  Speaker 36: Not in time. Manzardo scores. Martinez to third. Schneeman to second.
• 3:23:48
  Speaker 36: And Cleveland on the sack fly makes it a 4-0 ballgame.
• 3:23:53
  Speaker 36: Do the Red Sox challenge the safe call at second?
• 3:24:00
  Speaker 36: They do not. Patrick Bailey with his ninth RBI almost
• 3:24:05
  Speaker 36: hit that to the warning track and right. An aggressive
• 3:24:08
  Speaker 36: base running by Cleveland as three runners tagged up. Bailey,
• 3:24:16
  Speaker 36: nine RBIs. Ninth man to bat, Brian Rocchio batting right-handed.
• 3:24:22
  Speaker 36: Fouling it off to the left, strike one. Rocchio's Cleveland's
• 3:24:26
  Speaker 36: best clutch hitter. As Brian Rocchio, with men in scoring position,
• 3:24:33
  Speaker 36: leads the Cleveland Guardians with a.
• 3:24:36
  Speaker 9: 350 batting average. 4-0 Cleveland.
• 3:24:41
  Speaker 36: The pitch swung on, fouled into the lower deck right side.
• 3:24:45
  Speaker 36: And this near-capacity crowd getting treated early to four runs
• 3:24:51
  Speaker 36: on six hits, and we're only in the first inning,
• 3:24:54
  Speaker 36: and Cleveland has not let this opportunity get away.
• 3:25:01
  Speaker 9: Samanyedo is ready. Here it comes.
• 3:25:05
  Speaker 36: A swing and a miss. Rocio strikes out. Cleveland bats around.
• 3:25:10
  Speaker 36: Cleveland leads 4-0 after 1. This is the Cleveland Clinic
• 3:25:15
  Speaker 36: Radio Network.
• 3:27:14
  Speaker 9: 4-0 Cleveland. Wilson Contreras, the cleanup hitter in first baseman,
• 3:27:19
  Speaker 9: will lead off the Boston second. Hey, we never even
• 3:27:23
  Speaker 9: got to the Conrad score four win four new tires contest. Well,
• 3:27:28
  Speaker 9: Conrad's pony up.

• 3:28:11
  Speaker 9: communication issues taken care of. Slade Ciccone's pitch. Wilson Contreras
• 3:28:17
  Speaker 9: takes a curveball strike. He came from the St. Louis
• 3:28:22
  Speaker 9: Cardinals for three prospects back in December. He's done his part.
• 3:28:27
  Speaker 9: Holy smokes, has he been good. The set and pitch
• 3:28:32
  Speaker 9: up high. He leads Boston with 11 homers. He leads
• 3:28:37
  Speaker 9: Boston with 33 RBIs. He leads Boston with an 894 OPS,
• 3:28:45
  Speaker 9: batting 286. Right-handed slugger. He takes down and in. And
• 3:28:50
  Speaker 9: a challenge. Was that a challenge by Patrick Bailey?
• 3:28:54
  Speaker 7: No.
• 3:28:54
  Speaker 36: Home plate umpire John Tumpain thought Bailey challenged. And he
• 3:28:59
  Speaker 36: looked around and said, did you challenge? Bailey said no.
• 3:29:03
  Speaker 36: I just scratched my head. The 2-1 pitch. Curveball strike. Rosie,
• 3:29:09
  Speaker 36: I'm surprised that doesn't happen more often. Guys just inadvertently
• 3:29:14
  Speaker 36: go to their head or their helmet.
• 3:29:16
  Speaker 9: I feel like Travis Pizana has a habit where he
• 3:29:19
  Speaker 9: does that almost every pitch, but not looking for the
• 3:29:22
  Speaker 9: ABS challenge. Wilson Contreras. Digs back in. The pitch. Swing
• 3:29:34
  Speaker 9: and a high fly ball near the line and right.
• 3:29:36
  Speaker 9: Not deep. De Lauder racing over. Makes the catch just
• 3:29:40
  Speaker 9: before he went into foul territory. Contreras out number one.
• 3:29:47
  Speaker 9: That'll bring up Masataka Yoshida. Masataka Yoshida, left-handed hitter, D.H.,
• 3:29:58
  Speaker 9: Adding 255, a homer, seven RBIs. Boston in trouble early,
• 3:30:03
  Speaker 9: 4-0 Cleveland, second frame. And it's a strike. Why is
• 3:30:08
  Speaker 9: Boston in trouble? They have scored the fewest runs in
• 3:30:12
  Speaker 9: the American League, less than four runs a game. They
• 3:30:17
  Speaker 9: have hit the fewest home runs in the American League.
• 3:30:21
  Speaker 9: Yoshida takes a curve down and in to even the count.
• 3:30:25
  Speaker 9: They've walked the second fewest times in the American League.
• 3:30:30
  Speaker 9: Red Sox 11th in the league in OPS. And they
• 3:30:34
  Speaker 9: play at Fenway. Now the 1-1 pitch. Swung on a
• 3:30:41
  Speaker 9: little bloop job into center. Coming hard. Diving catch by Sneeman.
• 3:30:48
  Speaker 9: Oh my, Daniel Sneeman.
• 3:30:52
  Speaker 36: A gold glove caliber defensive player wherever you play him.
• 3:30:59
  Speaker 36: A half dive, a half knee slide, and he made
• 3:31:03
  Speaker 36: a terrific catch.
• 3:31:05
  Speaker 9: Yoshida out number two. That'll bring up Mickey Gasperi. Began
• 3:31:11
  Speaker 9: the year in the minors. Switch hitter batting left-handed. 4-0 Cleveland.
• 3:31:17
  Speaker 9: Waves at a sinker. Batting. 326, couple of RBIs. Boston's
• 3:31:23
  Speaker 9: banged up but seems like everybody we talk about nowadays
• 3:31:27
  Speaker 9: has a number of key guys on the injured list.
• 3:31:31
  Speaker 9: The 0-1 fouled it off third base side. Their ace
• 3:31:36
  Speaker 9: Garrett Crochet who would have won a Cy Young most
• 3:31:40
  Speaker 9: years except for Tarek Scoble last year. He's been out
• 3:31:44
  Speaker 9: with a shoulder issue. Reliever Garrett Whitlock just went on
• 3:31:48
  Speaker 9: the injured list and Roman Anthony and Trevor Story, two
• 3:31:52
  Speaker 9: key position players. They're both hurt. So Boston has had
• 3:31:58
  Speaker 9: to go to the minors for people like Gasper. Time called.
• 3:32:06
  Speaker 9: We have a balloon floating onto the field in right
• 3:32:11
  Speaker 9: center field. Just one of those little star balloons that
• 3:32:16
  Speaker 9: the kids get at a birthday party. Hey, whenever the
• 3:32:19
  Speaker 9: Guardians win, your Northeast Ohio Ford dealers donate $ 500 to
• 3:32:24
  Speaker 9: Cleveland Guardians charities supporting expanded access to youth sports in Cleveland.
• 3:32:35
  Speaker 9: 4-0 Cleveland. Red Sox batting in the second. Two outs.
• 3:32:39
  Speaker 9: Base is empty. The pitch to Gasper. And it misses.
• 3:32:47
  Speaker 9: Ball one. One and two to count. 4-10 tomorrow. 1-40
• 3:32:54
  Speaker 9: on Sunday. And on to the Big Apple for Cleveland.
• 3:32:59
  Speaker 9: Now the 1-2. Swung on. This has hit pretty well
• 3:33:03
  Speaker 9: to right. DeLauder back. DeLauder jumps. Made the catch. Dropped
• 3:33:07
  Speaker 9: the ball as.
• 3:33:08
  Speaker 36: He got near the wall in right center. And a
• 3:33:11
  Speaker 36: double for Gasper. Good effort by De Lauder, racing back
• 3:33:16
  Speaker 36: and angling toward the wall and right center. Middle of
• 3:33:20
  Speaker 36: the track, he leaped on the run, got a glove
• 3:33:23
  Speaker 36: on it, but he just couldn't quite corral it. Heck
• 3:33:27
  Speaker 36: of an effort by De Lauder. And Gasper with his
• 3:33:30
  Speaker 36: third double since coming up. So he's at second. Two down,
• 3:33:36
  Speaker 36: second inning.
• 3:33:37
  Speaker 9: 4-0 Cleveland.
• 3:33:38
  Speaker 36: Here's Isaiah Kiner-Falefa. Every time we see him, he's with
• 3:33:43
  Speaker 36: a new team. Right-handed batter at second. Swings, hits a
• 3:33:47
  Speaker 36: ground ball to short. Off the glove of Rocchio into left.
• 3:33:51
  Speaker 36: Gasper trying to score. Martinez throw to the plate.
• 3:33:53
  Speaker 10: Got him!
• 3:33:54
  Speaker 39: A dead tuna was Gasper! On a throw to the plate.
• 3:34:00
  Speaker 39: On the fly by Angel Martinez. An error on Rocchio.
• 3:34:08
  Speaker 39: And talk about picking up a teammate.
• 3:34:11
  Speaker 36: Martinez gunned down Gasper at home plate with a throw
• 3:34:16
  Speaker 36: on the fly.
• 3:34:17
  Speaker 9: 4-0 Cleveland. Middle of inning number two.

  Speaker 30: Restrictions apply.
• 3:36:18
  Speaker 9: Brian Baio, the normal starter, coming out of the bullpen
• 3:36:21
  Speaker 9: for the second inning. 4-0 Cleveland. Top of the order.
• 3:36:24
  Speaker 9: Bazana tried to bunt.
• 3:36:25
  Speaker 8: Missed.
• 3:36:26
  Speaker 9: Strike one. Bazana struck out last inning.
• 3:36:30
  Speaker 32: Inning.
• 3:36:31
  Speaker 9: Then after his strikeout, Cleveland had six consecutive hits and
• 3:36:35
  Speaker 9: a sack fly. All six hits were singles. 4-0 Guardians.
• 3:36:42
  Speaker 9: Baio's pitch and it's down low. Baio has great stuff
• 3:36:48
  Speaker 9: but he sure isn't pitching like it 6'1, 185. Bale,
• 3:36:54
  Speaker 9: now 27 years of age, having a tough, tough year.
• 3:36:59
  Speaker 9: The 1-1 pitch. Swung on, line drive, base hit into
• 3:37:04
  Speaker 9: the gap and left center. Raffaele cuts it off. And
• 3:37:08
  Speaker 9: Bazana shot one the other way. Travis Bazana, since becoming
• 3:37:13
  Speaker 9: the leadoff hitter, now hitting close to 4'30.
• 3:37:18
  Speaker 36: That'll bring up Jose Ramirez. He'll bat left-handed. Tyler Samanedo
• 3:37:24
  Speaker 36: went one inning, gave up four runs on six hits,
• 3:37:27
  Speaker 36: had a pair of strikeouts as starting the relief pitcher
• 3:37:31
  Speaker 36: in front of the starter blew up on the Red
• 3:37:34
  Speaker 36: Sox here tonight. Ramirez batting right-handed, singled last inning. He
• 3:37:40
  Speaker 36: takes high and wide, ball one. Baio is the guy
• 3:37:44
  Speaker 36: that throws mid-to-upper 90s. He's got the fastball, the sinker,
• 3:37:49
  Speaker 36: the slider, the changeup. Really, really scuffling. The set and
• 3:37:57
  Speaker 36: the pitch down low. On the year, Brian Bale, 2-5,
• 3:38:02
  Speaker 36: a 6.43 ERA in 10 games. He's given up 10
• 3:38:06
  Speaker 36: home runs in 10 games. Teams batting 3.24 against him.
• 3:38:17
  Speaker 36: The pitch hit on a line to right. Abreu there
• 3:38:21
  Speaker 36: to grab it. Another ball that was scorched off the
• 3:38:25
  Speaker 36: bat of Ramirez.
• 3:38:26
  Speaker 9: One down.
• 3:38:26
  Speaker 36: Here's Chase DeLauder. Infield single last inning. The thing about Bale,
• 3:38:35
  Speaker 36: since they went to this start of reliever, bring him
• 3:38:41
  Speaker 36: out in the second inning from the bullpen, he's been
• 3:38:43
  Speaker 36: much better. But that only works if the guy pitching
• 3:38:49
  Speaker 36: the first inning gets through it unscathed or maybe gives
• 3:38:54
  Speaker 36: up one run, not four. Baio's pitch before it's made,
• 3:39:01
  Speaker 36: throw to first, back is Bozzano. When Baio strictly started
• 3:39:07
  Speaker 36: those seven games... Earned run average, 9.68.
• 3:39:12
  Speaker 9: The last three times he's come out of the bullpen
• 3:39:16
  Speaker 9: in the second inning, earned run average, 0.98. The pitch,
• 3:39:23
  Speaker 9: runner goes, pitch inside, throw to second, standing with a
• 3:39:28
  Speaker 9: steal as Pisano.
• 3:39:30
  Speaker 36: That's unusual. Travis Pisano went in standing. But he got
• 3:39:37
  Speaker 36: the job done, steal number eight. So a runner in
• 3:39:44
  Speaker 36: scoring position. One out, 4-0 Cleveland here in the second.
• 3:39:53
  Speaker 36: Red Sox saying for Bayo, it's more of a mental
• 3:39:57
  Speaker 36: thing than anything.
• 3:39:58
  Speaker 9: They're just desperate to try anything. If he isn't going
• 3:40:02
  Speaker 9: to be a good starter, Boston has no chance. The pitch,
• 3:40:06
  Speaker 9: down and in, 2-0. They have to have Bayo being
• 3:40:11
  Speaker 9: in front of the rotation guy. Good Lord, they gave
• 3:40:15
  Speaker 9: him a.
• 3:40:15
  Speaker 36: Six-year contract for $ 55 million. The pitch. Swung on a
• 3:40:25
  Speaker 36: high chopper to first. Grabbed by Contreras. Underhand flip to Bale.
• 3:40:31
  Speaker 36: To third is Bazzano, but now two men out for
• 3:40:33
  Speaker 36: Reese Hoskins. Had an RBI single last inning. Brian Bale
• 3:40:41
  Speaker 36: has given up the third most runs in.
• 3:40:44
  Speaker 9: The American League. And on the road, his earned run
• 3:40:50
  Speaker 9: average is eight. Four-nothing Cleveland. Runner at third, two down,
• 3:40:57
  Speaker 9: second inning. The pitch to Hoskins. Inside, ball one, sinking fastball.
• 3:41:09
  Speaker 9: He's got a live arm. The set and delivery. And
• 3:41:20
  Speaker 9: he went breaking ball. It's in there, a called strike.
• 3:41:27
  Speaker 18: Bale.
• 3:41:29
  Speaker 9: Last year, 11-9, ERA 335. It's a lot of ground
• 3:41:35
  Speaker 9: balls with that mid-to-upper 90 sinker. The 1-1.
• 3:41:40
  Speaker 36: Swung on to Chopper to third. Durbin gloves, throws across
• 3:41:44
  Speaker 36: the diamond. And Bale with a scoreless second inning.
• 3:41:48
  Speaker 1: 4-0 Cleveland.
• 3:41:49
  Speaker 9: Third is next on the Cleveland Clinic Radio Network. Slade
• 3:43:57
  Speaker 9: Ciccone with a 4-0 lead. Marcelo Meyer. Now the shortstop
• 3:44:02
  Speaker 9: with the injury to Trevor Story. Left-handed hitter takes down
• 3:44:06
  Speaker 9: an in-ball one. Meyer, 2-18 mark. Two homers, 12 RBIs.
• 3:44:12
  Speaker 9: Ciccone's pitch, and it just missed in. Ball two, 2-0. Meyer,
• 3:44:18
  Speaker 9: a part of that young kiddie court that they have
• 3:44:22
  Speaker 9: been so high on, but Roman Anthony now hurt. Here
• 3:44:27
  Speaker 9: is the 2-0 pitch. Down and in, 3-0. The other
• 3:44:32
  Speaker 9: kid they gave a lot of money to, the youngster Campbell,
• 3:44:36
  Speaker 9: he isn't even here with the ball club. They've got
• 3:44:38
  Speaker 9: Christian Campbell back in the minor leagues. And he's a
• 3:44:43
  Speaker 9: guy they gave an eight-year, $ 60 million contract to. That
• 3:44:49
  Speaker 9: pitch is a strike. There aren't many kids in Worcester,
• 3:44:53
  Speaker 9: Massachusetts making that kind of money.
• 3:44:55
  Speaker 1: No, sir.
• 3:44:56
  Speaker 9: And they just don't seem to have enough veterans to
• 3:44:59
  Speaker 9: help bring these young guys along yet. The 3-1, swinging
• 3:45:03
  Speaker 9: a little tapper out in front of the plate. Bailey
• 3:45:05
  Speaker 9: barehand grab and throw, and he gets the Speedy Meyer. Well,
• 3:45:09
  Speaker 9: when you talk to Red Sox people, they'll tell you
• 3:45:14
  Speaker 9: losing Alex Bregman to free agency to the Cubs was
• 3:45:17
  Speaker 9: a guy they could not afford to lose, not only
• 3:45:21
  Speaker 9: for his bat in defense... But his leadership in the
• 3:45:25
  Speaker 9: clubhouse has not been replaced. Here's Caleb Durbin. Got him
• 3:45:30
  Speaker 9: from Milwaukee. And boy, has he struggled in Boston. Number
• 3:45:36
  Speaker 9: nine hitter. Third baseman takes high. Not many third basemen
• 3:45:40
  Speaker 9: in the major leagues that stand 5'7. That's a power
• 3:45:47
  Speaker 9: spot on the diamond. But Durbin there. The pitch to him,
• 3:45:52
  Speaker 9: and it's in there. Now he was really good last year.
• 3:45:55
  Speaker 36: In fact, with Milwaukee last year, he was third in
• 3:46:00
  Speaker 36: the National League Rookie of the Year vote. But the
• 3:46:04
  Speaker 36: Brewers traded him. The 1-1 pitch. Check swing went around.
• 3:46:10
  Speaker 36: And how about the guy that Milwaukee got? One of
• 3:46:14
  Speaker 36: them was one of their best pitchers, Harrison, right now.
• 3:46:18
  Speaker 36: So if Milwaukee calls to make a tradeoff, you might
• 3:46:21
  Speaker 36: be better off hanging up. Now the 1-2 delivery. And
• 3:46:26
  Speaker 36: he chased one in the other batter's box. Durbin strikes out.
• 3:46:31
  Speaker 36: Two strikeouts for Ciccone, who looks sharp here tonight. Two
• 3:46:35
  Speaker 36: down in the Boston third. Cleveland up 4-0. Rosie, when
• 3:46:40
  Speaker 36: you talk to the Boston people, you get a sense
• 3:46:45
  Speaker 36: that they're not coming out of this. This isn't a
• 3:46:47
  Speaker 36: slow start. This is not a very good team. Well,
• 3:46:50
  Speaker 36: they don't have thumpers. And when you think of the
• 3:46:52
  Speaker 36: Red Sox over the years, multiple strong power bats. Top
• 3:46:57
  Speaker 36: of the order, Duran taking backdoor strike. Well, think, they
• 3:47:01
  Speaker 36: play at Fenway. They have no home run power. And
• 3:47:07
  Speaker 36: guess what? They're 10 games under at home. The pitch, high,
• 3:47:13
  Speaker 36: one and one.
• 3:47:14
  Speaker 9: They are the worst team in baseball at home. If
• 3:47:18
  Speaker 9: you don't hit home runs or hit for power, you
• 3:47:21
  Speaker 9: can't survive at Fenway Park. Not for 81 games. 4-0 Cleveland,
• 3:47:28
  Speaker 9: third inning, the pitch. A swing and a miss. Durant
• 3:47:31
  Speaker 9: tried to hit one to Fenway. One ball, two strikes.
• 3:47:35
  Speaker 9: You have that green monster looming, but if you can't
• 3:47:37
  Speaker 9: take advantage of that, even left-handed hitters have to take
• 3:47:41
  Speaker 9: advantage of that, and they just don't have that in
• 3:47:44
  Speaker 9: their DNA the way the roster is constructed right now.
• 3:47:47
  Speaker 9: Last in the American League in runs, last in homers,
• 3:47:52
  Speaker 9: 14th or second last in walks. The pitch, swing, and
• 3:47:56
  Speaker 9: a pop foul back and out of play. Well, the
• 3:47:59
  Speaker 9: Guardians and Red Sox tomorrow at 4-10. You folks will
• 3:48:03
  Speaker 9: get an Austin Hedges replica jersey. Get your tickets at CLEGuardians.com.
• 3:48:10
  Speaker 9: Huge crowd here tonight. Now the one-two delivery. A little
• 3:48:16
  Speaker 9: bit low, two-and-twos. Well, now to Rosie. Cleveland has to
• 3:48:22
  Speaker 9: take advantage of the schedule. This is a team that's reeling.
• 3:48:26
  Speaker 9: You've got to put your foot down on them. The pitch,
• 3:48:31
  Speaker 9: swing and a foul upstairs, 2-2. They still have a
• 3:48:36
  Speaker 9: lot of talent on this team, but they're not playing
• 3:48:39
  Speaker 9: with a whole lot of energy right now. Most of
• 3:48:43
  Speaker 9: their rotation has been pretty effective. Guardians still taking advantage
• 3:48:47
  Speaker 9: of a bullpen game tonight. Now the 2-2 delivery. Got
• 3:48:52
  Speaker 9: him swinging! Good cutter, and Slade Ciccone looks as good
• 3:48:56
  Speaker 9: tonight as he has all year. It's a 4-0 Cleveland lead,
• 3:49:01
  Speaker 9: middle of inning number three.
• 3:49:04
  Speaker 49: Our yoga instructor challenged us to find inner peace. I
• 3:49:07
  Speaker 49: found it faster than anyone.
• 3:49:09
  Speaker 4: After four seconds, I stood up and screamed, I found Nirvana!
• 3:49:12

  Speaker 9: It's the bottom of the third inning. Cleveland up 4-0.
• 3:51:04
  Speaker 9: Kyle Manzardo takes down an in from Brian Bale. Ball one.
• 3:51:10
  Speaker 36: Leah Reese of Middleburg Heights, tonight's Hyundai Grand Slam contestant.
• 3:51:15
  Speaker 36: Cleveland with four in the first on six consecutive singles
• 3:51:19
  Speaker 36: and a sack fly.
• 3:51:21
  Speaker 9: The pitch. And a swing and a miss. Visit. HyundaiGrandSlam.com,
• 3:51:29
  Speaker 9: your chance to enter for a chance to win that
• 3:51:32
  Speaker 9: Hyundai Kona from your Northern Ohio Hyundai dealers. Bio's second
• 3:51:38
  Speaker 9: inning of work, he delivers, and it's a little wide,
• 3:51:42
  Speaker 9: ball two, two and one. Manzardo at one of those
• 3:51:45
  Speaker 9: six singles in inning number one off the reliever and starter,
• 3:51:51
  Speaker 9: Tyler Samanieto. Now the 2-1. Got a swing and a
• 3:52:00
  Speaker 9: miss out of him. Good changeup, 2-2. Bio has great stuff. 20-24, 14-8.
• 3:52:10
  Speaker 9: Last year, 11-9. And he has just plummeted here in 20-26.
• 3:52:17
  Speaker 9: The set, the pitch. A swing and a foul upstairs.
• 3:52:23
  Speaker 9: We'll do it again at 2-2. Cleveland getting what seems
• 3:52:29
  Speaker 9: to be a rare off day yesterday. Down the 2-2.
• 3:52:41
  Speaker 9: And it's swung on, ripped up the middle. Base hit.
• 3:52:44
  Speaker 9: Got a fastball and Manzardo smoked it. And he's aboard
• 3:52:49
  Speaker 9: to start the inning. Boy, what is hard to believe
• 3:52:55
  Speaker 9: on Brian Bale. Rosie on his four-seam fastball, which Manzardo
• 3:53:02
  Speaker 9: just hit. Teams are hitting 667. Off his sinker, batting 330.
• 3:53:10
  Speaker 9: Off his cut fastball, 394. The only pitches he's getting
• 3:53:16
  Speaker 9: people out on are the breaking ball and the change-ups.
• 3:53:21
  Speaker 9: Here's Anil Martinez, sends one in the air toward the
• 3:53:24
  Speaker 9: gap and left center. On the run, Raffaella. He just
• 3:53:27
  Speaker 9: cruises over to grab it. He is so smooth out there.
• 3:53:32
  Speaker 9: Center fielder went a pretty good distance to left center
• 3:53:36
  Speaker 9: to get Martinez, who had an RBI single his first
• 3:53:39
  Speaker 9: time up, then threw a runner out at the plate.
• 3:53:42
  Speaker 9: Here's Daniel Schneeman. He had a single in that four-run first.
• 3:53:48
  Speaker 9: 4-0 Cleveland, third inning. Cleveland already has out hit Boston 8-2.
• 3:53:56
  Speaker 9: Baio's pitch. Swing and a miss. Good slider down and in.
• 3:54:00
  Speaker 9: Strike one. I think the surprising number is the sinker.
• 3:54:04
  Speaker 9: In the past we've seen him be a ground ball
• 3:54:06
  Speaker 9: machine when that's working well. But obviously leaving that pitch
• 3:54:10
  Speaker 9: up far more often than he'd like. Now the 0-1
• 3:54:13
  Speaker 9: pitch to Schneeman. And he bangs one up the middle
• 3:54:19
  Speaker 9: near second. Gloved by Myers. Steps on the bag. Throws
• 3:54:22
  Speaker 9: Schneeman out. And that double play takes care of Cleveland
• 3:54:26
  Speaker 9: in the third. It stays 4-0 Guardians. The fourth is next.
• 3:56:28
  Speaker 9: Guardians up 4-0 as Slade Ciccone goes back to work.
• 3:56:32
  Speaker 9: Top half of the fourth. Cedon Raffaella leads it off
• 3:56:35
  Speaker 9: and he swings and powers the first pitch. High in
• 3:56:38
  Speaker 9: the air to right center. Cruising after it, Daniel Schneeman.
• 3:56:42
  Speaker 9: And it's Schneeman who makes the catch right in front
• 3:56:46
  Speaker 9: of Chase DeLauder. Let's pause. 10 seconds station ID. Cleveland
• 3:56:49
  Speaker 9: Clinic Radio Network. Jim Rosenhouse along with Tom Hamilton back
• 3:57:06
  Speaker 9: with you at Progressive Field downtown Cleveland. Widiar Abreu steps in,
• 3:57:12
  Speaker 9: takes a pitch outside from Slade Ciccone for a ball.
• 3:57:16
  Speaker 9: Brian Motze up the street at command center. A great
• 3:57:19
  Speaker 9: baseball night downtown. Man, one of the best this season.
• 3:57:23
  Speaker 9: Clear skies, 70 degrees, light breeze. The pitch on the
• 3:57:28
  Speaker 9: outside corner for a strike. And it's one and one
• 3:57:31
  Speaker 9: to Abreu who struck out his first time up Ciccone's
• 3:57:35
  Speaker 9: been sharp and he's had good defense behind him. Here's
• 3:57:40
  Speaker 9: the 1-1. Swing and a foul tip. And the count
• 3:57:44
  Speaker 9: moves to 1-2. Already a runner thrown out at the plate.
• 3:57:50
  Speaker 9: There's been a double play on the infield. And Ciccone
• 3:57:55
  Speaker 9: with three strikeouts thus far. He's allowed just the two
• 3:58:00
  Speaker 9: hits through three and a third. Here's the 1-2. Swung
• 3:58:05
  Speaker 9: on and there's a high fly ball to center. Late
• 3:58:08
  Speaker 9: start for Schneeman. Fading back. Turned a couple of ways
• 3:58:11
  Speaker 9: and hauls it in. Just shy of the warning track.
• 3:58:17
  Speaker 9: Sometimes the ones hit directly at a center fielder can
• 3:58:21
  Speaker 9: be a challenge. But Schneeman able to make the play easily.
• 3:58:26
  Speaker 9: Now it's Wilson Contreras and this is where you want
• 3:58:28
  Speaker 9: to see him come to the plate. With two outs
• 3:58:31
  Speaker 9: and the base is empty. He is the big power
• 3:58:35
  Speaker 9: threat for the Red Sox. And again, years past and
• 3:58:38
  Speaker 9: down through the years, they've had way more than one
• 3:58:41
  Speaker 9: as there's a swing and a line drive to left,
• 3:58:43
  Speaker 9: a base hit for Wilson Contreras, who's now one for two.
• 3:58:50
  Speaker 9: The Red Sox synonymous with power. And really, when they
• 3:58:56
  Speaker 9: traded Rafael Devers last summer and did not sign Alex Bregman,
• 3:59:03
  Speaker 9: It was thin to begin with and became even more so.
• 3:59:06
  Speaker 9: They did acquire Contreras in the offseason. So that's helped,
• 3:59:13
  Speaker 9: but just not enough around him from the power perspective.
• 3:59:16
  Speaker 9: Masataka Yoshida steps in, takes a breaking ball down low.
• 3:59:21
  Speaker 9: He flied to center his first time up. 4-0, Guardians
• 3:59:25
  Speaker 9: in front. The 1-0. Swung on, looped foul and out
• 3:59:28
  Speaker 9: of play to even the count. Just a couple of
• 3:59:30
  Speaker 9: days left to upload your KeyBank credit or debit card
• 3:59:33
  Speaker 9: to your card's wallet within the MLB ballpark app to

• 3:59:41

• 3:59:45
  Speaker 9: And tomorrow afternoon and Sunday afternoon, the last two days,
• 3:59:49
  Speaker 9: you can do that. Here's the 1-1. Swung on, fouled back.
• 3:59:53
  Speaker 9: And it counts now 1-2 on Yoshida. Left-handed hitting D.H.,
• 4:00:01
  Speaker 9: signed a five-year high-dollar contract coming over from Japan and
• 4:00:08
  Speaker 9: has not lived up to those expectations as he swings
• 4:00:11
  Speaker 9: and lifts one high in the air to left center.
• 4:00:14
  Speaker 9: Long run for Martinez, and he makes the catch just
• 4:00:17
  Speaker 9: as he got to the warning track to retire Yoshida
• 4:00:21
  Speaker 9: and the Red Sox in the fourth. We head to
• 4:00:23
  Speaker 9: the bottom of the inning, 4-0 Cleveland in front.

• 4:02:24
  Speaker 9: Patrick Bailey leads things off for the Guardians, bottom of
• 4:02:27
  Speaker 9: the fourth, and he swings and drives one to right
• 4:02:29
  Speaker 9: center field, a base hit, maybe more, and that one
• 4:02:32
  Speaker 9: rolls to the wall. Bailey's on his way to second.
• 4:02:35
  Speaker 9: He'll be in with a stand-up double. Patrick Bailey with
• 4:02:42
  Speaker 9: his second double as a Guardian. He drove in his
• 4:02:45
  Speaker 9: fourth run with Cleveland. His first time up with a
• 4:02:49
  Speaker 9: sack fly, part of that four-run uprising in the first inning.
• 4:02:53
  Speaker 9: That has the Guardians in front by a 4-0 score.
• 4:02:58
  Speaker 9: And for the third straight inning, the Guardians have that
• 4:03:03
  Speaker 9: leadoff hitter reach. The only inning that didn't happen was
• 4:03:06
  Speaker 9: the inning they scored the four runs back in the first.
• 4:03:10
  Speaker 9: Now Brian Rocchio steps in, pitch to him. Low and
• 4:03:14
  Speaker 9: outside for ball one. The sinker at 97 from Bale.
• 4:03:20
  Speaker 9: He has a great arm. For whatever reason, getting hit
• 4:03:25
  Speaker 9: a lot harder this season than in years past. The
• 4:03:30
  Speaker 9: right-hander out of Curacao delivers, and it's down low for
• 4:03:33
  Speaker 9: a ball. Roquio struck out to end the first inning.
• 4:03:40
  Speaker 9: Switch hitter left side. Guardians with that four-run lead. They
• 4:03:46
  Speaker 9: love to tack on, and it's always fun to score first,
• 4:03:50
  Speaker 9: and then you hear that scoring next is a good idea, too.
• 4:03:54
  Speaker 9: Try and separate a little bit. The 2-0. Swung on.
• 4:03:58
  Speaker 9: Ground ball to the second baseman. Up with it. Kiner
• 4:04:01
  Speaker 9: Falefa flips on to first for the out, but a
• 4:04:03
  Speaker 9: good out. Productive-wise for Brian Rocchio as he advances the
• 4:04:07
  Speaker 9: runner to third with less than two down. Top of
• 4:04:14
  Speaker 9: the lineup, Travis Pazana steps in. One for two with
• 4:04:19
  Speaker 9: a single and a stolen base. Last time up in
• 4:04:22
  Speaker 9: the second inning. Infield in for the Sox. Here's the pitch.
• 4:04:32
  Speaker 9: Swing and a miss, strike one. Don't forget now through
• 4:04:36

• 4:04:43
  Speaker 9: a chance to win a special Guardians Edition 2026 F-150
• 4:04:48
  Speaker 9: Raptor truck. Here's the 0-1. Fastball strike on the outside corner. And,
• 4:04:54
  Speaker 9: of course, that is courtesy of your Northeast Ohio Ford dealers.
• 4:04:59
  Speaker 9: We're in the bottom of the fourth. It is 4-0. Guardians.
• 4:05:08
  Speaker 9: The 0-2 to Bazzano. Outside and high for a ball.
• 4:05:12
  Speaker 9: Off speed that time. 89 mile an hour change up.
• 4:05:18
  Speaker 9: Which seems hard to do, but that is off speed
• 4:05:23
  Speaker 9: for Baio. That's how good his arm is. Right hander
• 4:05:29
  Speaker 9: from the stretch. Here it is. Breaking ball down low.
• 4:05:33
  Speaker 9: Did he check it? Yes, he did. Rosanna battling Gets
• 4:05:39
  Speaker 9: the count back to 2-2. What a stretch it has been.
• 4:05:44
  Speaker 9: The first month plus now in the big leagues for
• 4:05:48
  Speaker 9: Travis Bazzana. The 2-2. Swing and a miss. Strike three.
• 4:05:55
  Speaker 9: So Bazzana down on strikes for the second time tonight.
• 4:05:58
  Speaker 9: Two down in the eighth. inning. Here's Jose Ramirez. One
• 4:06:05
  Speaker 9: for two with a first inning single and a run scored.
• 4:06:08
  Speaker 9: And the Guardians put four on the board. And now
• 4:06:16
  Speaker 9: looking for more here in the fourth inning with a
• 4:06:18
  Speaker 9: runner at third and two down. The pitch to Hosey.
• 4:06:23
  Speaker 9: Swung on and ripped to right. Deep. Back goes Abreu
• 4:06:26
  Speaker 9: and he makes the catch. A screamer off the bat
• 4:06:30
  Speaker 9: of Ramirez. But Abreu able to fade back and haul
• 4:06:33
  Speaker 9: it in for out number three. Guardians come up empty
• 4:06:37
  Speaker 9: in the fourth. We'll head to the fifth. Cleveland four,
• 4:06:40
  Speaker 9: Boston nothing. Well, we head to the fifth inning and
• 4:08:42
  Speaker 9: Mickey Gaspar leads things off for the Red Sox. He
• 4:08:45
  Speaker 9: doubled his first time up. Gasper, who had been with
• 4:08:50
  Speaker 9: the Twins a year ago. Now with the Red Sox,
• 4:08:54
  Speaker 9: here's the 0-1. Breaking ball down low. And it counts 1-1.
• 4:09:03
  Speaker 9: Gasper gets the start behind the plate tonight. Switch hitter
• 4:09:06
  Speaker 9: left side. Slade Ciccone looking good tonight, and he'll have
• 4:09:12
  Speaker 9: to wait as time was called by Gasper. Boy, what
• 4:09:17
  Speaker 9: a night. Big crowd. If it's not a sellout, it'll
• 4:09:21
  Speaker 9: be close. Here comes the 1-1 from Ciccone. Breaking ball
• 4:09:30
  Speaker 9: down low, 2-1. And don't forget tomorrow.
• 4:09:33
  Speaker 32: A 4-10 start.
• 4:09:36
  Speaker 9: Get here early to get your Austin Hedges replica jersey.
• 4:09:44
  Speaker 9: Now the 2-1 pitch. On the outside corner for a strike.
• 4:09:48
  Speaker 32: 2-2.
• 4:09:50
  Speaker 9: A nice effort here tonight from Ciccone so far. Got
• 4:09:59
  Speaker 9: the game through five last Saturday night in Philly. The 2-2,
• 4:10:04
  Speaker 9: swung on, line foul, and out of play. And we'll
• 4:10:07
  Speaker 9: do it again on 2-2. And he kept the Guardians
• 4:10:12
  Speaker 9: in that game on Saturday at Philadelphia. That was that
• 4:10:15
  Speaker 9: night where it never did stop raining. It's cold. Felt
• 4:10:20
  Speaker 9: like early April. Here's the 2-2. Swung on, ground ball,
• 4:10:25
  Speaker 9: right side, base hit into right field for Gaspard. So
• 4:10:31
  Speaker 9: a leadoff single for the Red Sox here in the fifth,
• 4:10:33
  Speaker 9: and that'll bring up Isaiah Keiner-Falefa. Falefa reached on an
• 4:10:41
  Speaker 9: error back in the second inning, but on that same play,
• 4:10:45
  Speaker 9: Gasper tried to score from second and was thrown out
• 4:10:49
  Speaker 9: at the plate on a tremendous throw from Angel Martinez
• 4:10:54
  Speaker 9: playing left field tonight. Here's the pitch, and it's down
• 4:10:57
  Speaker 9: low for a ball. And that's the area that was
• 4:11:03
  Speaker 9: such a huge key a year ago. Defense for the Guardians.
• 4:11:07
  Speaker 9: And it has really come to the forefront again. Here's
• 4:11:10
  Speaker 9: the 1-0. Swung on. Foul tipped.
• 4:11:14
  Speaker 8: 1-1.
• 4:11:14
  Speaker 9: And they're doing it with players in different spots from
• 4:11:19
  Speaker 9: a year ago. But in the outfield, Daniel Schneemann's been
• 4:11:24
  Speaker 9: terrific in center when he's been called upon there. Martinez.
• 4:11:29
  Speaker 9: Playing solid outfield, whether it's left or right. Here's the 1-1.
• 4:11:34
  Speaker 9: Breaking ball low and away.
• 4:11:35
  Speaker 32: 2-1 the count.
• 4:11:47
  Speaker 9: Ciccone from the stretch. Here's his pitch. Swung on. Ground
• 4:11:51
  Speaker 9: ball left side on through. A base hit. And it's
• 4:11:54
  Speaker 9: back-to-back singles now to open the fifth inning for the
• 4:11:57
  Speaker 9: Red Sox. Gasper and Keiner Falefa and Marcelo Mayer will
• 4:12:03
  Speaker 9: step in. That's five hits now for Boston. Mayer hit
• 4:12:16
  Speaker 9: a little bleeder out in front of home plate his
• 4:12:20
  Speaker 9: first time up and was thrown out by Bailey. Guardians
• 4:12:24
  Speaker 9: set it up at double play depth on the infield.
• 4:12:26
  Speaker 9: Here's the pitch. It's on the outside corner strike one. Mayor.
• 4:12:35
  Speaker 9: Former first round draft pick 4th overall back in 2021.
• 4:12:42
  Speaker 9: Here's the old one swing and a miss. And it's
• 4:12:47
  Speaker 9: only two. It was a high school drafted player out
• 4:12:52
  Speaker 9: of East Lake High School in Southern California. Here's the 0-2.
• 4:13:01
  Speaker 9: Swung on, ground ball near the middle. Under the diving
• 4:13:05
  Speaker 9: attempt of Bazzata into center, it rolls. Gasper will score.
• 4:13:09
  Speaker 9: On his way to third is Kiner Falefa. And the
• 4:13:13
  Speaker 9: Red Sox have strung together three consecutive singles to get
• 4:13:17
  Speaker 9: on the scoreboard. It's now the Guardians 4 and Boston 1.
• 4:13:21
  Speaker 1: Page out of the Guardians' scoreboard.
• 4:13:27
  Speaker 9: Booked from the first inning when they had six consecutive singles.
• 4:13:31
  Speaker 9: And here comes Carl Willis. Out to the mound to
• 4:13:33
  Speaker 9: have a chat with Ciccone. And a 4-1 ball game.
• 4:13:38
  Speaker 9: Cleveland in front. This message from our friends at Cleveland Clinic.
• 4:13:43
  Speaker 9: Taking care of yourself is the real victory. Schedule your
• 4:13:47
  Speaker 9: mammogram with Ohio's leader in breast health. Find a convenient
• 4:13:51
  Speaker 9: location near you by visiting clevelandclinic.org slash mammogram. Mammogram. And
• 4:13:59
  Speaker 9: just like that, the Guardians get some action going in
• 4:14:02
  Speaker 9: their pen. Colin Holderman. Hard throwing right, he starts to loosen.
• 4:14:14
  Speaker 9: And Ciccone has run into some trouble here in the
• 4:14:16
  Speaker 9: fifth inning. So first and third for Caleb Durbin. Durbin,
• 4:14:26
  Speaker 9: the number nine hitter. Here's the pitch. And he swings
• 4:14:30
  Speaker 9: and lines it down the right field line. Fair ball.
• 4:14:33
  Speaker 9: This one's going to trickle into the corner. One run
• 4:14:36
  Speaker 9: is in. Headed for third. Holding there is Mayer. And
• 4:14:42
  Speaker 9: Durbin is into second with an RBI double. And now
• 4:14:45
  Speaker 9: it's a 4-2 ball game. And the Red Sox have
• 4:14:50
  Speaker 9: the potential tying runs in scoring position. So a dramatic
• 4:14:57
  Speaker 9: turn of events here in the fifth inning as Jaron
• 4:15:01
  Speaker 9: Duran will step to the plate. Top of the order now.
• 4:15:10
  Speaker 9: The challenge for Ciccone. Duran one for two with a
• 4:15:13
  Speaker 9: single to open tonight's game. Here's the pitch. And it's
• 4:15:21
  Speaker 9: outside for ball one. Durbin now at 10 doubles and
• 4:15:27
  Speaker 9: 18 runs driven in. And for that RBI double. Here's
• 4:15:36
  Speaker 9: the 1-0. And Durant swings and skies it to center.
• 4:15:40
  Speaker 9: Plenty deep enough to score another run. Schneeman makes the catch. Tagging,
• 4:15:45
  Speaker 9: heading for home and scoring is Meyer.
• 4:15:48
  Speaker 3: And..
• 4:15:50
  Speaker 9: Excuse me, Marcelo Mayer crosses home plate on the sack
• 4:15:54
  Speaker 9: fly and it's all of a sudden a one-run game.
• 4:15:59
  Speaker 9: 4-3 Cleveland. RBI number 29 for Duran. And really, this
• 4:16:07
  Speaker 9: month he has been much more the Jaron Duran And
• 4:16:10
  Speaker 9: they become accustomed to, and that's going to be it
• 4:16:13
  Speaker 9: for Slade Ciccone with one out in the top half
• 4:16:18
  Speaker 9: of the fifth inning and three runs in. Here comes
• 4:16:20
  Speaker 9: manager Steven Vogt. He wants to make the move right here.
• 4:16:25
  Speaker 9: So the night comes to an end for Ciccone, who
• 4:16:27
  Speaker 9: was so sharp through four, but cannot make it out
• 4:16:31
  Speaker 9: of the fifth. And this call to the bullpen is

• 4:18:32
  Speaker 9: New pitcher for the Guardians, it's Colin Holderman. With the
• 4:18:36
  Speaker 9: tying run at second base, Guardians leading 4-3. Three runs
• 4:18:40
  Speaker 9: in in the inning for Boston. And Holderman comes on
• 4:18:44
  Speaker 9: to try and keep it a one-run ball game in
• 4:18:47
  Speaker 9: favor of Cleveland. Facing Sadon Raffaella, who grounds one toward
• 4:18:51
  Speaker 9: the shortstop.
• 4:18:52
  Speaker 4: Up with it, Rocchio.
• 4:18:53
  Speaker 9: Fires on to first in time for the out. Caleb
• 4:18:56
  Speaker 9: Durbin advances to third. Two down in the inning. One
• 4:19:01
  Speaker 9: pitch missing. One out for Holderman, who's been terrific. He'll
• 4:19:05
  Speaker 9: now face a tough hitter in Willier Abreu. Abreu, left-handed batter,
• 4:19:12
  Speaker 9: facing Holderman, who in 15 games for the Guardians has
• 4:19:16
  Speaker 9: an ERA of 1.40. The pitch to Abreu is outside.
• 4:19:21
  Speaker 9: Did he check it? Yes, he did.
• 4:19:25
  Speaker 8: And..
• 4:19:29
  Speaker 9: We have a challenge by the Guardians, and it's ruled
• 4:19:32
  Speaker 9: a strike on the ABS by a slim margin. The
• 4:19:37
  Speaker 9: pitch was called a ball and a check swing, but
• 4:19:40
  Speaker 9: the challenge by Bailey, who's been really successful in that regard,
• 4:19:44
  Speaker 9: results in a strike, and it's 0-1 on Abreu. Tie
• 4:19:49
  Speaker 9: run at third. Holderman lets it fly. Swung on, fouled back,
• 4:19:55
  Speaker 9: and out of play, and quickly it's 0-2. And Olderman
• 4:20:02
  Speaker 9: has been going right after the hitters with that 97
• 4:20:05
  Speaker 9: mile an hour sinker and then mixes in the slider.
• 4:20:12
  Speaker 9: He sets. Here's the 0-2. Swung on. Grounded foul over
• 4:20:18
  Speaker 9: to the Sox dugout. First base side. Well, it was
• 4:20:23
  Speaker 9: four consecutive singles. Meyer with an RBI single. Durbin Should
• 4:20:31
  Speaker 9: say three consecutive singles and a double. Durbin with the
• 4:20:34
  Speaker 9: RBI double. And then the sack fly from Duran to
• 4:20:38
  Speaker 9: make it a one-run game. 4-3 Cleveland. Holderman with the 0-2.
• 4:20:45
  Speaker 9: Swung on. Popped him up. Foul down the left side
• 4:20:48
  Speaker 9: and out of play. So we do it again on
• 4:20:54
  Speaker 9: 0-2 to Abreu. Slate Ciccone again, poor scoreless, but then
• 4:21:07
  Speaker 9: recorded just the one out here in the fifth. And
• 4:21:11
  Speaker 9: he is lifted in favor of Holderman. The 0-2, way
• 4:21:15
  Speaker 9: outside and high. And it's 1-2 on Abreu. Durbin dancing
• 4:21:25
  Speaker 9: down the line down there at third base. Time called
• 4:21:32
  Speaker 9: by Rayu. William Rayu. He has become a real steady player.
• 4:21:42
  Speaker 9: Outstanding defensively and putting up some numbers offensively. Here's the one-two.
• 4:21:48
  Speaker 9: Swung on. A chopper back to the mound. Grabbed by Holderman.
• 4:21:52
  Speaker 9: Heaves it to first in time for the out. Side retired.
• 4:21:56
  Speaker 9: Holderman gets the job done. We head to the bottom.
• 4:22:00
  Speaker 9: Of inning number five, it is 4-3 Cleveland over Boston.
• 4:22:06
  Speaker 49: Recently, our company softball team lost the big game by
• 4:22:09
  Speaker 49: one run. Then Dale tried to console us with the quote.
• 4:22:12
  Speaker 4: Winning isn't everything. Dale's a loser.
• 4:22:15
  Speaker 49: I play to win, like early payout from Bet365. If
• 4:22:19
  Speaker 49: my team goes up big, I get paid out instantly,
• 4:22:21
  Speaker 49: even if they blow the lead later.
• 4:22:24
  Speaker 30: Sound familiar, Dale?
• 4:22:26

• 4:24:01
  Speaker 9: Chase DeLauder opens the bottom of the fifth inning. Suddenly,
• 4:24:04
  Speaker 9: a one-run game as Brian Bayo goes back to work.
• 4:24:08
  Speaker 9: And DeLauder lines one to right. Abreu comes on, can't
• 4:24:11
  Speaker 9: make the play. It bounces in front of him for
• 4:24:13
  Speaker 9: a base hit. And DeLauder with a couple of hits.
• 4:24:19
  Speaker 9: And this one now, two for three, opens the fifth
• 4:24:21
  Speaker 9: with a single. A baseball goofy game. That's four innings
• 4:24:29
  Speaker 9: in a row now that the Guardians... Have had a
• 4:24:32
  Speaker 9: leadoff batter reach. But again, the only inning they didn't
• 4:24:35
  Speaker 9: was the first when they scored their four runs. See
• 4:24:39
  Speaker 9: if they can do something with DeLauder at first. And
• 4:24:41
  Speaker 9: Reese Hoskins stepping in. Here's the pitch. Low and in
• 4:24:48
  Speaker 9: for ball one. All right, I'm putting this one right
• 4:24:55
  Speaker 9: at the top of the list for weather nights this season.
• 4:24:58
  Speaker 9: Just perfect. Here at Progressive Field tonight. Here's the 1-0.
• 4:25:06
  Speaker 9: Swung on, and there's a high fly ball, shallow center.
• 4:25:10
  Speaker 9: Coming in, Raffaella makes the catch, and there's one down. Well,
• 4:25:16
  Speaker 9: you haven't had a real heavy list of competition. That's true.
• 4:25:21
  Speaker 9: Think of a week ago in Philly compared to tonight.
• 4:25:26
  Speaker 9: You thought out yet from that? Holy smokes. Seven. We
• 4:25:30
  Speaker 9: had colder nights, but that was just raw. That was
• 4:25:35
  Speaker 9: a rough one. And we didn't even play. Kyle Manzardo's in.
• 4:25:42
  Speaker 9: Here's the pitch from Baio, breaking ball down low. I
• 4:25:46
  Speaker 9: know we didn't play. I think it's much tougher in
• 4:25:48
  Speaker 9: the booth than it is down on the field in
• 4:25:51
  Speaker 9: bad weather.
• 4:25:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 4:25:54
  Speaker 9: I mean, we had to sit still the whole game.
• 4:25:55
  Speaker 9: You can't move around it. We could only get the
• 4:25:58
  Speaker 9: thermostat on the heater up to 75. Unlimited hot cocoa.
• 4:26:07
  Speaker 9: Here comes the 1-0 pitch to Manzardo. Fastball missed outside.
• 4:26:15
  Speaker 9: 2-0 the count. Manzardo already 2-for-2. Slowly but surely has
• 4:26:23
  Speaker 9: started to see those numbers climb. After a slow start.
• 4:26:29
  Speaker 9: The 2-0 pitch. Swung on and there's a high fly ball.
• 4:26:33
  Speaker 9: Shallow right. Charging in Abreu. Now he's under it. Makes
• 4:26:37
  Speaker 9: the catch. Two down. De Lauder still at first. So
• 4:26:42
  Speaker 9: again the Guardians get that bleed off hitter on. But
• 4:26:46
  Speaker 9: so far they haven't been able to move De Lauder
• 4:26:48
  Speaker 9: here in the fifth. And here comes Angel Martinez. RBI
• 4:26:54
  Speaker 9: single with another run scoring on an error back in
• 4:26:56
  Speaker 9: the first inning. One for two. The pitch from Baio.
• 4:27:08
  Speaker 9: Swung on, looped foul and out of play. And maybe
• 4:27:11
  Speaker 9: it wouldn't have turned out the same, but this is
• 4:27:14
  Speaker 9: where when there's an opener and your regular pitcher does
• 4:27:18
  Speaker 9: well from the get-go, you say, well, why didn't they
• 4:27:20
  Speaker 9: just start him? But the Guardians got to the opener
• 4:27:23
  Speaker 9: for four runs in the first inning. And that's been
• 4:27:25
  Speaker 9: the difference. Here comes the 0-1. Up high.
• 4:27:32
  Speaker 33: 1-1.
• 4:27:38
  Speaker 9: Martinez switch hitter left side. De Lauder the base runner
• 4:27:42
  Speaker 9: at first.
• 4:27:46
  Speaker 6: 4-3.
• 4:27:47
  Speaker 9: Guardians in front. Out hitting the Red Sox.
• 4:27:49
  Speaker 32: 10-7.
• 4:27:49
  Speaker 9: The 1-1. Swung on, line, right side, foul. Down the
• 4:27:55
  Speaker 9: right field line. Quick injury report presented by Elk & Elk.
• 4:27:59
  Speaker 9: Serious lawyers for serious injuries. And for the Guardians, still
• 4:28:07
  Speaker 9: on that injured list is Gabriel Arias with a hamstring issue.
• 4:28:11
  Speaker 9: Transferred to the 60-day injured list today. Eric Cebrowski on
• 4:28:16
  Speaker 9: the injured list with the elbow issue. Here's the one-two.
• 4:28:26
  Speaker 9: Swing and a miss. Strike three. Martinez down on strike.
• 4:28:30
  Speaker 9: Side retired. We head to the sixth. It's the Guardians
• 4:28:34
  Speaker 9: for the Red Sox three.
• 4:30:34
  Speaker 36: Well, we head down to the sixth inning and first
• 4:30:38
  Speaker 36: ball swinging and fouling it off the cleanup man, Wilson Contreras.
• 4:30:44
  Speaker 36: Colin Holderman back out there for a second inning of work.
• 4:30:48
  Speaker 36: Got the final two outs in that fifth inning. Four runs,
• 4:30:52
  Speaker 36: ten hits Cleveland. Three runs, seven hits Boston. Contreras checked
• 4:30:57
  Speaker 36: on the pitch down and away. He went around on
• 4:31:00
  Speaker 36: the appeal to first base up, Brennan Miller. And Contreras
• 4:31:04
  Speaker 36: giving him a sarcastic look. Nothing into the count.
• 4:31:12
  Speaker 9: Slade Ciccone went four and a third, was dominant through
• 4:31:16
  Speaker 9: four innings. And then the Red Sox got to him
• 4:31:19
  Speaker 9: for four straight hits and a sack fly in the fifth.
• 4:31:22
  Speaker 9: The pitch, check swing, did he go again? Appeal at first,
• 4:31:26
  Speaker 9: this time Brendan Miller goes, I didn't like that look.
• 4:31:30
  Speaker 9: I'm saying he didn't go. Looked like the same swing.
• 4:31:34
  Speaker 9: One ball, two strikes. Holderman's ready. The right-hander lets it rip.
• 4:31:42
  Speaker 9: Check swing. Ball off the glove of Bailey to the backstop.
• 4:31:45
  Speaker 9: Two and two to count. Holderman's become one of the
• 4:31:49
  Speaker 9: dominant set-up men in the game. Colin Holderman. Throws in
• 4:32:01
  Speaker 9: the upper 90s. Primarily sinkers, sliders. The pitch just missed
• 4:32:09
  Speaker 9: up and in with a slider. And they count two
• 4:32:12
  Speaker 9: and two. This has been a game of two innings.
• 4:32:18
  Speaker 9: Tom Hamilton back with you on this beautiful Friday evening
• 4:32:21
  Speaker 9: in Northeast Ohio. The pitch fouled off to the right
• 4:32:25
  Speaker 9: and the count stays full. First inning, Cleveland against The
• 4:32:31
  Speaker 9: left-handed reliever who started the game, Tyler Samaniedo. Cleveland had
• 4:32:38
  Speaker 9: six straight singles and a sack fly to score four.
• 4:32:42
  Speaker 9: The 3-2. Strike! Three called.
• 4:32:45
  Speaker 36: He challenges the call on the way down to first.
• 4:32:49
  Speaker 36: And as he goes to first, tapping his helmet, Contreras
• 4:32:53
  Speaker 36: keeps going to first. Video board says... Strike three called
• 4:32:59
  Speaker 36: and an embarrassing walk to the first base dugout by Contreras.
• 4:33:05
  Speaker 9: Boy, you're really showing up the home plate umpire when
• 4:33:09
  Speaker 9: you keep going to first, challenging the strike three call saying,
• 4:33:13
  Speaker 9: I know better. And then the call is upheld. That
• 4:33:22
  Speaker 9: is out number one. Here's Yoshida taking a strike.
• 4:33:26
  Speaker 36: Those are the kind of things that will get players
• 4:33:30
  Speaker 36: in trouble with the umpires.
• 4:33:38
  Speaker 9: The pitch to Yoshida. A swing and a foul back 0-2.
• 4:33:44
  Speaker 9: It's one thing to challenge a call. It's another to say,
• 4:33:48
  Speaker 9: I'm just going to first because I know you're wrong
• 4:33:51
  Speaker 9: and I'm right. Those guys... Have long memories. Now the set.
• 4:33:58
  Speaker 9: Now the 0-2. Down and in. 1-2 the count. So
• 4:34:04
  Speaker 9: then the Red Sox countered Cleveland's 4-run first with a
• 4:34:08
  Speaker 9: 3-run fifth.
• 4:34:09
  Speaker 36: Four straight hits of their own. And a sack fly.
• 4:34:12
  Speaker 36: That's been your ballgame. Two wild innings. First and fifth.
• 4:34:19
  Speaker 36: Way outside the next offering. The count 2-2.
• 4:34:25
  Speaker 9: Asataka Yoshida, two fly outs. The 2-2 to the left-handed hitter.
• 4:34:34
  Speaker 9: And it's high again, full count. Another good thing, Cleveland
• 4:34:40
  Speaker 9: had an off day simply because you're going to your
• 4:34:43
  Speaker 9: bullpen in the fifth inning.
• 4:34:45
  Speaker 36: And now the left-hander, Tim Heron, warming up. The pitch,
• 4:34:52
  Speaker 36: and it's banged up the middle. Behind second, fielded by Rocchio,
• 4:34:56
  Speaker 36: throws out Yoshida. Not sure if Holderman got hit by
• 4:35:00
  Speaker 36: that ball that was scalded back up the middle.
• 4:35:03
  Speaker 9: Looks like he did. He is limping on the grass
• 4:35:06
  Speaker 9: area to the left of the mound. Yoshida spanked one
• 4:35:10
  Speaker 9: back up the middle, and that line drive got him
• 4:35:16
  Speaker 9: near the calf area of the left leg. That'll be
• 4:35:19
  Speaker 9: a 1-6-3 out. And we'll see if Holderman can continue.
• 4:35:25
  Speaker 9: He will not. Manager. Stephen Vogt went to the mound
• 4:35:34
  Speaker 9: to check on him and made the pitching change. Holderman,
• 4:35:38
  Speaker 9: little bit of a limp coming to the third base dugout.
• 4:35:41
  Speaker 9: Will take a timeout. 4-3 Cleveland here in the 6th.
• 4:35:45

• 4:37:29
  Speaker 36: Left-hander Tim Heron to face the switch hitting catcher Mickey Gasper.
• 4:37:34
  Speaker 9: Gasper a double and a single. Will bad right-handed for
• 4:37:37
  Speaker 9: the first time. 4-3 Cleveland. Two down. Base is empty.
• 4:37:41
  Speaker 9: Sixth inning. Heron's pitch is high. Ball one.
• 4:37:45
  Speaker 36: 24th appearance for Tim Heron. 0-1 ERA 2. Fastball sinker
• 4:37:51
  Speaker 36: curve slider. The pitch, swing and a foul back, and
• 4:37:58
  Speaker 36: they count one and one. Marathon knows you fans are
• 4:38:03
  Speaker 36: the true co-pilot of any team. Marathon here to keep
• 4:38:06
  Speaker 36: you and your team fueled all summer long. Marathon driven together.
• 4:38:12
  Speaker 36: The pitch to Gasper. Down and in, a curveball. He
• 4:38:16
  Speaker 36: pitched last, or I should say he played last year
• 4:38:20
  Speaker 36: with Minnesota. Has also spent a previous stint in Boston.
• 4:38:27
  Speaker 36: Second time with the Red Sox.
• 4:38:30
  Speaker 9: The pitch. Way outside. 3-1 on Mickey Gasper. He is
• 4:38:40
  Speaker 9: only playing in his 16th game with the Red Sox.
• 4:38:44
  Speaker 9: Most of the year in AAA Worcester. Now the 3-1.
• 4:38:50
  Speaker 9: And a strike. Top of the zone. Full count. Boston,
• 4:38:59
  Speaker 9: one challenge left. Cleveland has both of theirs. Looked like
• 4:39:05
  Speaker 9: a rout after one inning.
• 4:39:07
  Speaker 36: 4-0 Cleveland. Now 4-3 Cleveland. Boston batting in the sixth.
• 4:39:12
  Speaker 36: Now the 3-2 pitch. Swung on line drive to left,
• 4:39:16
  Speaker 36: but right at Angel Martinez. Shoulder high catch to end it.
• 4:39:21
  Speaker 36: It's the middle of the sixth, and it stays.
• 4:39:24
  Speaker 9: Cleveland 4, Boston 3 on the Cleveland Clinic.
• 4:39:29
  Speaker 55: This is the call of the Australian rubber bird. This
• 4:39:35
  Speaker 55: is the call of the Alaskan chili bird.
• 4:39:42

• 4:40:00
  Speaker 9: Bybee into the motion. And the right-hander with the one-two delivery.
• 4:40:04
  Speaker 9: Swing and a miss! Back foot slider ate him up.
• 4:40:08
  Speaker 9: What a job by Tanner Bybee.
• 4:40:11
  Speaker 41: This is Tanner Bybee.

• 4:40:26
  Speaker 56: In healthcare, there are things you can rely on just

• 4:41:25
  Speaker 36: Daniel Schneeman hitting seventh tonight in center field. Leans off
• 4:41:30
  Speaker 36: against Brian Bale, who's pitched well again out of the
• 4:41:34
  Speaker 36: Boston bullpen. 4-3 Cleveland, bottom of the sixth. Pitch inside,
• 4:41:38
  Speaker 36: almost hit him. I guess it's just a mental thing
• 4:41:43
  Speaker 36: with Bale. How else can you explain that in his
• 4:41:48
  Speaker 36: seven starts, his earned run average is 9.68. This is
• 4:41:54
  Speaker 36: his fourth appearance out of the bullpen, and his ERA
• 4:41:59
  Speaker 36: is under one.
• 4:42:01
  Speaker 9: The pitch banged on the ground to first, handled by Contreras.
• 4:42:04
  Speaker 9: He'll make the play himself. Bale, in this his fourth outing,
• 4:42:13
  Speaker 9: coming in out of the bullpen, has given up two
• 4:42:19
  Speaker 9: earned runs in 22 innings.
• 4:42:28
  Speaker 36: Here's Patrick Bailey. He's had a big night. Sack flying
• 4:42:32
  Speaker 36: a double. He'll bat left-handed. The Cleveland catcher. Bunts at
• 4:42:38
  Speaker 36: third base side to the left of the mound. Bale backhands.
• 4:42:40
  Speaker 36: Jump throw to first.
• 4:42:42
  Speaker 8: Got him!
• 4:42:43
  Speaker 9: Oh, what a play by Bale!
• 4:42:45
  Speaker 36: If he doesn't get to that terrific bunt to the
• 4:42:48
  Speaker 36: left of the mound before the third baseman Durbin got there,
• 4:42:52
  Speaker 36: kind of spun with a jump throw to first. And
• 4:42:56
  Speaker 36: he got him, or else it's a punt single for Bailey.
• 4:42:59
  Speaker 36: Heck of a play by Bale. Two down, bases stay empty.
• 4:43:06
  Speaker 36: Sixth inning, 4-3 Cleveland. Brian Rocchio, strikeout, ground out, switch
• 4:43:12
  Speaker 36: hitter batting left-handed.
• 4:43:19
  Speaker 9: Bale out of the Dominican Republic. He's ready. He fires.
• 4:43:28
  Speaker 9: Rocio waves at it. Nothing in one to count. Outfield
• 4:43:41
  Speaker 9: really spread out medium deep. The pitch outside one and one.
• 4:43:50
  Speaker 9: Temp has dropped to 67 degrees, but that American flag
• 4:43:55
  Speaker 9: above the bullpen's out in the right center field concourse,
• 4:43:59
  Speaker 9: barely moving. Just a delightful Friday night in Northeast Ohio.
• 4:44:06
  Speaker 9: Down the 1-1. Down and in, ball two, 2-1. And
• 4:44:12
  Speaker 9: a challenge by the catcher, Gasper. They may be out
• 4:44:16
  Speaker 9: of challenges after this one.
• 4:44:20
  Speaker 13: Nope.
• 4:44:21
  Speaker 36: Gasper Wright. John Tumpain overruled. It's a strike call over turn.
• 4:44:29
  Speaker 36: And now the count. The ball and two strikes. Bale
• 4:44:35
  Speaker 36: is ready.
• 4:44:36
  Speaker 9: Here it comes. Outside a changeup. Two and two.
• 4:44:45
  Speaker 36: Tomorrow's matchup at 4-10. Parker Messick against Sonny Gray. Tanner
• 4:44:52
  Speaker 36: Bybee and Ranger Suarez Sunday afternoon. Now the 2-2. Got
• 4:44:57
  Speaker 36: him swinging on another great changeup. Boy, Bale lights out
• 4:45:02
  Speaker 36: here tonight. 4-3 Cleveland. 6 in the books here at
• 4:45:07
  Speaker 36: the corner of Carnegie and Ontario. Tim Herron back out,
• 4:47:09
  Speaker 36: delivering a breaking ball strike to start the seventh.
• 4:47:12
  Speaker 9: Four to three, Cleveland. Isaiah Kiner-Falefa, one for two with
• 4:47:18
  Speaker 9: a single. Herron lets it fly. The pitch banged foul,
• 4:47:23
  Speaker 9: third base side, 0-2. Colin Holderman got the four Red
• 4:47:30
  Speaker 9: Sox he faced. Tim Herron retired the one that he
• 4:47:34
  Speaker 9: faced last inning. Activity in the Cleveland bullpen. Right-hander Sean Armstrong.
• 4:47:46
  Speaker 9: The next pitch. Yanked foul down the left side. Still 0-2.
• 4:47:51
  Speaker 9: Isaiah Kiner-Falefa. Like Joey Cantillo. Grew up in the Honolulu area.
• 4:48:00
  Speaker 9: Ninth year in the big leagues. Once won the gold glove.
• 4:48:07
  Speaker 9: The 0-2. Swing and a pop-up. Playable.
• 4:48:11
  Speaker 36: Shallow right. Bazana out. De Lauder in. Bazana makes the
• 4:48:16
  Speaker 36: one-handed catch. Cleveland's second baseman retires his counterpart. Here's Marcelo Meyer. Meyer,
• 4:48:25
  Speaker 36: a left-handed hitter at short. One for two, an RBI single. Meyer,
• 4:48:32
  Speaker 36: a first-round pick out of high school in 2021. And
• 4:48:38
  Speaker 36: the fourth player chosen in that first round of 2021.
• 4:48:42
  Speaker 36: The pitch. Meyer bangs one on the ground. A third
• 4:48:46
  Speaker 36: backing up with the backhand. Ramirez spins around, throws.
• 4:48:50
  Speaker 9: And the dirt backhanded attempt by Manzardo. Couldn't find the handle.
• 4:48:56
  Speaker 9: Meyer gets an infield hit. He has two hits and
• 4:48:59
  Speaker 9: an RBI tonight.
• 4:49:03
  Speaker 36: Meyer really runs well. Posey had to make that spinning
• 4:49:07
  Speaker 36: throw in the dirt. Normally, Manzardo makes that scoop, but
• 4:49:11
  Speaker 36: it just kind of popped in and out of the glove.
• 4:49:14
  Speaker 36: That'll be it for Tim Herron. We will have another
• 4:49:18
  Speaker 36: pitching change after the Meyer infield hit. The call to
• 4:49:22
  Speaker 36: the bullpen brought to you by Spartan Storm Shield, the

  Speaker 36: roof system to last your lifetime. Visit SpartanStormShield.com. 4-3, Cleveland up.

  Speaker 55: is the call of the Alaskan chili bird.
• 4:50:49
  Speaker 9: And this is the call of the marathon mascot bald eagle, Max. Hi,
• 4:50:53
  Speaker 9: it's Max. Hello.
• 4:50:55
  Speaker 44: Did you know you could save up to a dollar
• 4:50:56
  Speaker 44: a gallon with the Marathon Rewards app? No.
• 4:50:59
  Speaker 23: Thanks for the call.

  Speaker 55: Marathon, where fun runs on full. Available at participating Marathon locations.
• 4:51:04
  Speaker 55: Terms and conditions apply. See MarathonRewards.com for details.
• 4:51:18
  Speaker 9: Right-hander Sean Armstrong on to pitch for Cleveland. Armstrong, fastball, sinker, cutter, slider.
• 4:51:26
  Speaker 9: Righty-righty matchup. Number nine hitter, third baseman Caleb Durbin at
• 4:51:31
  Speaker 9: the plate. One out, runner at first, 4-3 Cleveland, seventh inning.
• 4:51:37
  Speaker 9: The set and pitch, and it's in there, a strike. Armstrong,
• 4:51:41
  Speaker 9: who spent time on the injured list, making his 16th appearance.
• 4:51:46
  Speaker 9: He's 1-0, 338 ERA. Meyer runs well at first. Durbin
• 4:51:57
  Speaker 9: swings and misses. Good slider, and they count 0-2. Caleb
• 4:52:03
  Speaker 9: Durbin already has his degree in economics. He went to
• 4:52:12
  Speaker 9: Washington University there in St. Louis. Now the 0-2. Swing
• 4:52:22
  Speaker 9: and a tamper to third.
• 4:52:23
  Speaker 16: Foul.
• 4:52:24
  Speaker 9: We'll do it again at 0-2. Drake Baldwin, the outstanding
• 4:52:33
  Speaker 9: catcher for Atlanta, was the National League Rookie of the
• 4:52:37
  Speaker 9: Year a year ago, and Durbin had a big year
• 4:52:41
  Speaker 9: with Milwaukee, finished third, and then the Brewers traded him.
• 4:52:46
  Speaker 9: Now the 0-2 pitch.
• 4:52:49
  Speaker 36: Swing and a double play ball up the middle, but
• 4:52:52
  Speaker 36: only knocked down by Armstrong. Couldn't field it cleanly. He
• 4:52:56
  Speaker 36: did recover. Picked up the ball on the grass in
• 4:52:59
  Speaker 36: front of the mound. Underhand flip to first. Got Durbin.
• 4:53:03
  Speaker 36: Meyer to second. So now the tying run in scoring position.
• 4:53:08
  Speaker 36: Two down in the seventh. Cleveland with a 4-3 lead.
• 4:53:12
  Speaker 36: Hunter Gattis warming in the Cleveland pen. And the top
• 4:53:16
  Speaker 36: of the order. And this is Jaron Duran who's been
• 4:53:20
  Speaker 36: red hot lately. Tonight one for two.
• 4:53:23
  Speaker 9: A single. A sack fly. The pitch. And he looks
• 4:53:26
  Speaker 9: at a called strike. Last 11 games, Duran batting 340.
• 4:53:32
  Speaker 9: One-time All-Star, Jaron Duran.
• 4:53:41
  Speaker 1: D-O-1.
• 4:53:44
  Speaker 36: Foul tipped into the catcher's mid-O-2. Duran, the last two seasons,
• 4:53:52
  Speaker 36: has averaged 19 homers, 45.
• 4:53:55
  Speaker 9: Doubles, 29 steals, and 80 RBIs in each of 2024
• 4:53:57
  Speaker 9: and 2025. Now the 0-2. Adams swinging. Went after the
• 4:54:16
  Speaker 9: high heat. And Armstrong gets the job done. What else
• 4:54:21
  Speaker 9: is new? This magnificent Cleveland bullpen continues to be the
• 4:54:26
  Speaker 9: best in baseball. And again, it's tonight. Holderman, Heron, Armstrong
• 4:54:34
  Speaker 9: keeping the Red Sox at bay. Stretch time at the
• 4:54:37
  Speaker 9: corner of Carnegie and Ontario.
• 4:54:39
  Speaker 41: 4-3 Cleveland.
• 4:54:42
  Speaker 9: Hey, Guardians fans, are you thinking of consolidating your debt
• 4:54:45
  Speaker 9: with a home equity loan? With the average homeowner having

• 4:54:53

• 4:57:13
  Speaker 9: Tom Hamilton, Jim Rosenhouse, Brian Motze on this beautiful Friday
• 4:57:18
  Speaker 9: evening in downtown Cleveland. Four to three, Guardians.
• 4:57:21
  Speaker 36: Jose Ramirez takes a strike from Brian Bale. Ramirez has
• 4:57:27
  Speaker 36: singled and lined out twice to right. Cleveland hasn't scored
• 4:57:33
  Speaker 36: since the first.
• 4:57:36
  Speaker 32: The 0-1.
• 4:57:38
  Speaker 36: Hit foul, first base side, 0-2. In that first inning
• 4:57:42
  Speaker 36: against the left-handed reliever who started, Tyler Samanyedo, Cleveland had
• 4:57:50
  Speaker 36: six consecutive singles and a sack fly to plate four.
• 4:57:57
  Speaker 36: Bale hasn't given up a run since coming on in
• 4:58:00
  Speaker 36: the second. The pitch, and it's half foul again. Right
• 4:58:05
  Speaker 36: side still 0-2. In fact, Bale has only allowed four hits,
• 4:58:11
  Speaker 36: has struck out three, not walked a batter. Outfield spread out,
• 4:58:18
  Speaker 36: medium deep for Ramirez. Now the 0-2. Swing and a miss.
• 4:58:27
  Speaker 36: They got him to.
• 4:58:27
  Speaker 9: Chase the fastball up and away at 96.
• 4:58:31
  Speaker 36: Four strikeouts for Bale. Two down in the seventh. Here's
• 4:58:37
  Speaker 36: Chase DeLauder. Two for three. A couple of broken bat singles.
• 4:58:51
  Speaker 36: Bayo is ready, hands chest high, lets it fly. The
• 4:58:55
  Speaker 36: pitch hit on the ground to second, and Keiner Falefa
• 4:58:58
  Speaker 36: will flip to first. Holy cow, this guy is making
• 4:59:03
  Speaker 36: this look too easy. Seven in the books, four to
• 4:59:06
  Speaker 36: three Cleveland. This is the Cleveland Clinic Radio Network. Hunter
• 5:01:09
  Speaker 36: Gattis coming on, and boy, as he turned his season around,
• 5:01:13
  Speaker 36: he's throwing the best he's thrown it all year. He'll
• 5:01:16
  Speaker 36: take over in the eighth with Cleveland on top, 4-3.
• 5:01:20
  Speaker 36: Sean Armstrong added two-thirds of a scoreless inning with a strikeout.
• 5:01:25
  Speaker 36: Tim Herron, two-thirds of a scoreless inning. Colin Holderman, an
• 5:01:29
  Speaker 36: inning and a third of scoreless relief. Sadon Raffaella, the
• 5:01:33
  Speaker 36: number two hitter and center fielder.
• 5:01:36
  Speaker 9: Gattis lets it fly. Raffaella waves at it.
• 5:01:40
  Speaker 36: Gattis fastball slider, and he's gone back to throwing that changeup.
• 5:01:46
  Speaker 36: Gets updated this inning on the Northeast Ohio four-dealers out-of-town scoreboard.
• 5:01:54
  Speaker 9: Now the 0-1 pitch. Down and away to even the count.
• 5:01:58
  Speaker 9: Atlanta beating up the Reds 8-3. They go to the ninth.
• 5:02:04
  Speaker 9: Eighth inning in Maryland. 5-4 Baltimore on top of Toronto.
• 5:02:10
  Speaker 9: Minnesota leading Pittsburgh 5-4 in the seventh. Pitch way outside.
• 5:02:15
  Speaker 9: 2-1 the count. Seventh inning, Tampa with a 4-2 lead
• 5:02:21
  Speaker 9: over the Angels. Seventh inning, Washington-San Diego tied at 5.
• 5:02:26
  Speaker 9: The next delivery. Swung on, popped him up. This is playable.
• 5:02:35
  Speaker 9: This one is near the home plate area. Foul ground
• 5:02:39
  Speaker 9: back into fair territory. Catch made by Kyle Manzardo. First
• 5:02:44
  Speaker 9: baseman ended up about 10, 12 feet from home plate.
• 5:02:47
  Speaker 9: Went from foul ground to fair territory. Raffaella pops up
• 5:02:52
  Speaker 9: for out number one. Here's Wealdier Abreu. Good power for
• 5:02:57
  Speaker 9: the left-handed hitting right fielder. 0 for 3 tonight.
• 5:03:04
  Speaker 36: Gattis is ready. The pitch to Abreu. And he sends
• 5:03:11
  Speaker 36: one in the air. Shallow left. Rocio the shortstop corrals it.
• 5:03:16
  Speaker 36: Two easy pop-ups. Two down for Wilson Contreras. Mets with
• 5:03:23
  Speaker 36: a 6-4 lead on Miami. Sixth inning.
• 5:03:28
  Speaker 9: Cubs finally ended a 10-game slide, but they trail St.
• 5:03:31
  Speaker 9: Louis tonight 5-4. They go to the 7th. Fourth inning,
• 5:03:36
  Speaker 9: Milwaukee and Houston tied at 1. Fourth inning, Texas bouncing
• 5:03:41
  Speaker 9: Kansas City 4-0.
• 5:03:43
  Speaker 36: Gattis lets it rip. Pitch is in there. It's a
• 5:03:46
  Speaker 36: called strike. Detroit with a 2-1 lead over the White Sox.
• 5:03:53
  Speaker 36: They're in the 6th inning. The White Sox..
• 5:03:58
  Speaker 9: Lost their rookie slugger with hamstring tightness. The pitch. Check swing.
• 5:04:03
  Speaker 9: Did he go? Appeal at first. He went around.
• 5:04:09
  Speaker 36: And Contreras and first base umpire Brennan Miller. Not exactly
• 5:04:15
  Speaker 36: making goo-goo eyes with each other once again on a
• 5:04:18
  Speaker 36: check swing that went against Contreras.
• 5:04:24
  Speaker 9: Now the 0-2 pitch. A changeup that he fouled at
• 5:04:30
  Speaker 9: the plate. Boy, that's a righty-righty changeup. Gives you an
• 5:04:34
  Speaker 9: idea of the kind of confidence that Gattis now has
• 5:04:38
  Speaker 9: in that changeup. Now the 0-2 pitch. Swing and a floater.
• 5:04:53
  Speaker 9: Shallow center. Bozzana can't quite get there. Drops into center field.
• 5:04:57
  Speaker 9: Contreras with that flare single. So, the guy I was mentioning, Murakami,
• 5:05:11
  Speaker 9: for the White Sox, who's maybe the rookie of the
• 5:05:14
  Speaker 9: year right now in the American League. The White Sox
• 5:05:17
  Speaker 9: slugger had to leave the game with hamstring tightness. We'll
• 5:05:20
  Speaker 9: get a pinch runner now for Contreras at first base.
• 5:05:25
  Speaker 9: That's the tying run out at first. So 4-3 Cleveland.
• 5:05:34
  Speaker 9: Red Sox with a runner at first. Two down in
• 5:05:36
  Speaker 9: the eighth inning. Nick Sogard, the pinch runner at first.
• 5:05:44
  Speaker 9: Here's Yoshida 0 for 3. Masataka Yoshida the left handed
• 5:05:51
  Speaker 9: hitting DH. Gattis with the pitch. Waved at. Strike one.
• 5:06:10
  Speaker 9: Gattis is ready. The pitch is high. 1 and 1.
• 5:06:15
  Speaker 9: Gattis back up in the mid-90s with a fastball, that slider,
• 5:06:19
  Speaker 9: and now with that changeup, boy, another situation where a
• 5:06:24
  Speaker 9: hitter can't just sit fastball slider. The next pitch, instead
• 5:06:32
  Speaker 9: of throw to first, almost picked them off. Tonight's attendance,
• 5:06:36
  Speaker 9: it's a big crowd, near capacity, 34,404. Now the 1-1 delivery.
• 5:06:49
  Speaker 9: Fouled it back. He has stayed with the hard stuff.
• 5:06:53
  Speaker 9: And a 1-2 count now on Yoshida. Yoshida hasn't quite
• 5:07:06
  Speaker 9: become the star maybe Boston envisioned. The 1-2 pitch. Down
• 5:07:12
  Speaker 9: and in. He almost chased it 2-2.
• 5:07:20
  Speaker 36: A lot of people thought at the time Boston way
• 5:07:23
  Speaker 36: overpaid for Yoshida. They gave him a five-year $ 90.
• 5:07:28
  Speaker 9: Million contract and had to pay a $ 15 million posting fee.
• 5:07:33
  Speaker 36: The pitch swung on. He lines this one toward right center.
• 5:07:36
  Speaker 36: It's a base hit. Cut off in the gap by DeLauder.
• 5:07:39
  Speaker 36: Hustling to third is Sogard. Yoshida has put Red Sox
• 5:07:45
  Speaker 36: at the corners. With two down, eighth inning, 4-3 Cleveland.
• 5:07:50
  Speaker 36: And this guy's been a tough out tonight. Mickey Gasper
• 5:07:55
  Speaker 36: has doubled, singled, lined out. This guy, Mickey Gasper, much
• 5:08:03
  Speaker 36: of the year at AAA Worcester, his eighth minor league season,
• 5:08:10
  Speaker 36: has come up to Boston and done something he's never
• 5:08:13
  Speaker 36: done in the big leagues, and that's hit. The pitch,
• 5:08:17
  Speaker 36: and he bangs one to first. Corralled by Manzardo. Steps
• 5:08:21
  Speaker 36: on the bag. Gattis works out of it. Bottom of
• 5:08:24
  Speaker 36: the eighth coming up with Cleveland still leading it by
• 5:08:28
  Speaker 36: a score of 4-3.

• 5:10:29
  Speaker 9: Leading off Reese Hoskins. One for three.
• 5:10:32
  Speaker 36: RBI single in the four run first. Brian Baio misses
• 5:10:36
  Speaker 36: down low for ball one. Four to three. Cleveland bottom
• 5:10:40
  Speaker 36: of the eighth. Nick Silgard stays in the game playing first.
• 5:10:44
  Speaker 36: After running four. Contreras. Baio has been terrific. The 1-0 pitch.
• 5:10:53
  Speaker 36: Wait a minute. Pitch clock violation on Baio. So that
• 5:11:00
  Speaker 36: makes it a 2-0 count on Reese Hoskins. Bale comes
• 5:11:16
  Speaker 36: to a set position and fires. And the pitch sent
• 5:11:21
  Speaker 36: in the air. Medium right.
• 5:11:23
  Speaker 9: Routine for Abreu. Hoskins out number one. That'll bring up
• 5:11:28
  Speaker 9: Kyle Manzardo. Manzardo, two singles and a fly out. Cade Smith,
• 5:11:41
  Speaker 9: who has been perfect since almost mid-April. Warming for the
• 5:11:47
  Speaker 9: ninth inning when the Red Sox have the bottom third
• 5:11:50
  Speaker 9: of the order due up.
• 5:11:52
  Speaker 36: The pitch. Manzardo takes the strike. Cleveland four runs, ten hits,
• 5:11:59
  Speaker 36: one error, five left. Boston three runs, ten hits, one error,
• 5:12:03
  Speaker 36: six stranded. Cleveland four in the first, Boston three in
• 5:12:07
  Speaker 36: the fifth. The next delivery, and it's fouled back, nothing
• 5:12:13
  Speaker 36: into the count on Manzardo. Boston coming off a homestand
• 5:12:24
  Speaker 36: in which they lost five out of six. They trail
• 5:12:31
  Speaker 36: by a run tonight, the pitch. Just missed wide. One ball,
• 5:12:36
  Speaker 36: two strikes. Bale is ready. Here's the one-two delivery. Got
• 5:12:51
  Speaker 36: him swinging. Five strikeouts for Bale. Now what Boston's going
• 5:12:57
  Speaker 36: to have to figure out How do we get this guy.
• 5:13:01
  Speaker 9: Over the mental hump of starting the ballgame?
• 5:13:05
  Speaker 36: If Bayo had started the game and pitched like this,
• 5:13:07
  Speaker 36: Boston would be cruising and leading 3-0. But they started
• 5:13:13
  Speaker 36: a reliever because Bayo's been better coming out of the
• 5:13:17
  Speaker 36: bullpen and giving them bulk innings. The pitch, a swing
• 5:13:22
  Speaker 36: and a liner towards center field. Coming on to make
• 5:13:24
  Speaker 36: the chest-high catch, Raffaello. As Haniel Martinez hit it hard
• 5:13:30
  Speaker 36: but not rewarded.
• 5:13:32
  Speaker 9: It's time for Kate Smith. Baseball's best closer next. Cleveland
• 5:13:36
  Speaker 9: up 4-3. Sierra Northern Ohio Toyota dealers, the new Toyota Tacoma,
• 5:15:40
  Speaker 9: more powerful, efficient, with an I-Force Max hybrid engine.
• 5:15:44
  Speaker 36: Toyota, let's go places. Cleveland four, Boston three. Bottom third
• 5:15:50
  Speaker 36: of the order against Cade Smith. Leads the major leagues
• 5:15:54
  Speaker 36: in saves with 19 and 21 tries. Isaiah Kiner-Falefa takes
• 5:16:00
  Speaker 36: up an in-ball one. Upper 90s fastball slider split. Keiner
• 5:16:08
  Speaker 36: Falefa one for three. Righty righty. The pitch swung on line.
• 5:16:13
  Speaker 36: Center field. Base hit. Boy Boston has not been going away.
• 5:16:17
  Speaker 36: Down four nothing after one. They just keep coming. And
• 5:16:22
  Speaker 36: this is the American League's worst offense. Here's Marcelo Meyer.
• 5:16:28
  Speaker 36: Two for three. Two singles and RBI. Cade Smith. He
• 5:16:36
  Speaker 36: has not had a blown save dating back to almost mid-April.
• 5:16:42
  Speaker 36: The set and delivery, and it's in there, called strike.
• 5:16:55
  Speaker 9: 16 consecutive saves. The Pits foul back 0-2. That dates
• 5:17:01
  Speaker 9: back to April 16th. Laid-off man aboard, Isaiah Kiner-Falefa, four steals.
• 5:17:20
  Speaker 9: Smith is ready, the 0-2. Meyer swings and misses at
• 5:17:26
  Speaker 9: 97 miles an hour. One down in the ninth. Caleb Durbin,
• 5:17:31
  Speaker 9: the number nine hitter, one for three with an RBI double.
• 5:17:35
  Speaker 9: When you've got rust to bust, use PB Blaster. Cleveland
• 5:17:39
  Speaker 9: original since 1957. PB Blaster, always work it like a pro.
• 5:17:47
  Speaker 9: Durbin stepping out. The set. The pitch. Checked on the pitch.
• 5:17:59
  Speaker 9: Up and in. Ball one. And Cleveland's challenging. Well, Cleveland
• 5:18:05
  Speaker 9: has two challenges. Might as well. They now have one challenge.
• 5:18:16
  Speaker 9: Call stays. But again, if you're Patrick Bailey, you go,
• 5:18:20
  Speaker 9: why not? Still have one left. If you go extra innings,
• 5:18:27
  Speaker 9: you get one challenge each extra inning if you're out
• 5:18:30
  Speaker 9: of them.
• 5:18:31
  Speaker 1: The 1-0.
• 5:18:32
  Speaker 36: Bulls high. And the count, 1-1. 4-3 Cleveland. Tying run
• 5:18:41
  Speaker 36: at first. One down in the Boston 9th. Smith is ready,
• 5:18:46
  Speaker 36: hands chest high. He lets it fly to first and
• 5:18:49
  Speaker 36: back with a dive is Keiner Falefa. Chad Durbin, 14th
• 5:18:59
  Speaker 36: round pick by Atlanta. Traded to the Yankees, traded to Milwaukee,
• 5:19:04
  Speaker 36: traded to Boston. He bangs one foul outside of third
• 5:19:08
  Speaker 36: and they count one and two. You just don't envision in...
• 5:19:16
  Speaker 36: That power spot on the diamond third, a guy 5'7.
• 5:19:22
  Speaker 36: That's what Durbin is.
• 5:19:23
  Speaker 9: He's got some pop, the pitch, and he fouled it back.
• 5:19:28
  Speaker 9: Had 11 home runs with Milwaukee, one this year. I mean,
• 5:19:34
  Speaker 9: Boston traded for him when they didn't re-sign Alex Brinkman
• 5:19:38
  Speaker 9: to be their everyday third baseman. They're no longer playing
• 5:19:41
  Speaker 9: him every day. He's in there tonight. Big gap left
• 5:19:45
  Speaker 9: center of the pitch. Little low and challenged again by Bailey. Boy,
• 5:19:51
  Speaker 9: that was, it looked like from here a strike. We'll see.
• 5:19:58
  Speaker 2: Strike!
• 5:20:00
  Speaker 9: Three called.
• 5:20:02
  Speaker 36: Not by John Tambain, but by ABS. Good challenge, Patrick Bailey.
• 5:20:09
  Speaker 36: Durbin's out looking. Two down in the ninth.
• 5:20:13
  Speaker 9: Runner at first, Cleveland four, Boston three, and the dangerous.
• 5:20:20
  Speaker 36: Jaron Duran. Left-handed hitter. One for three, a single and
• 5:20:25
  Speaker 36: a sack fly. 34,000 on their feet at the corner
• 5:20:30
  Speaker 36: of Carnegie and Ontario.
• 5:20:32
  Speaker 9: Strike!
• 5:20:33
  Speaker 36: One called on the outside corner. Thought Duran might challenge that.
• 5:20:37
  Speaker 36: Boston has. One challenge left. Outfield deep. The next delivery
• 5:20:45
  Speaker 36: from Cade Smith. Swing and a foul back. Red Sox
• 5:20:49
  Speaker 36: down to their last strike. And Durant's a guy that
• 5:20:54
  Speaker 36: will chase and strikes out a lot. What does Cade
• 5:20:58
  Speaker 36: Smith do here? High heat or go with the split?
• 5:21:05
  Speaker 36: Now the 0-2 pitch.
• 5:21:07
  Speaker 9: Swing and a miss. Ball game. He went with a
• 5:21:11
  Speaker 9: high heat. Durant chased.

• 5:21:19

  Speaker 9: Welcome back to Guardians Wrap-Up. We join you from Progressive Field,
• 5:33:42
  Speaker 9: downtown Cleveland, following a 4-3 Guardians win over the Red
• 5:33:46
  Speaker 9: Sox in the series opener. Here's how it went, and
• 5:33:49
  Speaker 9: the Guardians went wild early off of the opener. Tyler Samaniego.
• 5:33:55
  Speaker 9: as they scored four times in the first inning, stringing
• 5:33:58
  Speaker 9: together singles galore. Jose Ramirez got it started with a
• 5:34:02
  Speaker 9: one-out single. Chase DeLauder with an infield single, setting the
• 5:34:06
  Speaker 9: table for Reese Hoskins. Now the 0-2 pitch.
• 5:34:11
  Speaker 28: Swing and a miss.
• 5:34:13
  Speaker 9: Ball game. He went with a high heat.
• 5:34:16
  Speaker 8: Durant chased.
• 5:34:18
  Speaker 9: Smith strikes out the side. After a single from Kyle Manzardo,
• 5:34:24
  Speaker 9: Angel Martinez came through. Martinez will bat right-handed switch hitter.
• 5:34:29
  Speaker 9: The pitch. and he rips one into right center. That's
• 5:34:33
  Speaker 9: a base hit. De Lauder scores. Hoskins stops at third.
• 5:34:37
  Speaker 9: Now the ball got away and on to home comes
• 5:34:41
  Speaker 9: Hoskins with a hit first dive and the Guardians have
• 5:34:46
  Speaker 9: a 3-0 lead. Everybody was going up just one base
• 5:34:52
  Speaker 9: on the RBI single to right center.
• 5:34:55
  Speaker 36: But then Raffaello overran the ball. And the Guardians get
• 5:34:59
  Speaker 36: an extra run and give Angel Martinez one RBI and
• 5:35:05
  Speaker 36: the other run scoring on the air.
• 5:35:08
  Speaker 9: And Patrick Bailey would drive in the final run in
• 5:35:10
  Speaker 9: the inning with a sack fly to right. That made
• 5:35:13
  Speaker 9: it a 4-0 Guardians lead. The Red Sox would make
• 5:35:17
  Speaker 9: things close in the fifth as they scored three times
• 5:35:21
  Speaker 9: off of starter Slade Ciccone who did not make it
• 5:35:23
  Speaker 9: out of the fifth inning. An RBI single from Marcelo Meyer.
• 5:35:27
  Speaker 9: An RBI double from Caleb Durbin. And a sack fly
• 5:35:30
  Speaker 9: by Jaron Duran. That plated the runs for the Red Sox.
• 5:35:34
  Speaker 9: But that was it. Each team scoring all of its runs.
• 5:35:37
  Speaker 9: In a single inning, and that would be your final
• 5:35:39
  Speaker 9: score tonight, 4-3. The Red Sox did have a base
• 5:35:43
  Speaker 9: runner in the ninth inning, but Kate Smith did what
• 5:35:46
  Speaker 9: Kate Smith does, slamming the door with Jaron Duran at
• 5:35:49
  Speaker 9: the plate. Now the 0-2 pitch. Swing and a miss.
• 5:35:55
  Speaker 9: Ball game. He went with a high heat. Durant chased.
• 5:36:00
  Speaker 36: Smith strikes out the side and has the Major League
• 5:36:05
  Speaker 36: best 20 saves. Cleveland takes game one this weekend, 4-3.
• 5:36:12
  Speaker 9: And there you go. That's our Honda drive-at-home game summary.
• 5:36:16
  Speaker 9: Guardians a winner, 4-3 with four runs on ten hits,

• 5:38:55
  Speaker 9: the Red Sox by a final score of 4-3. Let's
• 5:38:58
  Speaker 9: send it downstairs and hear from manager Stephen Vogt.
• 5:39:01
  Speaker 16: We've asked you about openers three times this week.
• 5:39:03
  Speaker 26: I know you guys game plan for it.
• 5:39:06
  Speaker 7: Here in Hoskins, these guys talk about being aggressive and
• 5:39:08
  Speaker 7: sticking to the game plan and being stubborn to it.
• 5:39:11
  Speaker 7: What does that say just about what they're learning and
• 5:39:13
  Speaker 7: seeing and how they're taking it out on the field?
• 5:39:15
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I think we learned a lot this last week
• 5:39:17
  Speaker 13: getting two reps at it. And, you know, obviously we
• 5:39:21
  Speaker 13: were able to jump them today. And, you know, six
• 5:39:23
  Speaker 13: straight hits in the first, you're not going to get
• 5:39:24
  Speaker 13: that very often. That doesn't happen in the big leagues
• 5:39:26
  Speaker 13: very often. So really pleased with our bats in the
• 5:39:29
  Speaker 13: first inning and got to get out to a lead.
• 5:39:31
  Speaker 13: What did you make of your bullpen and how they
• 5:39:32
  Speaker 13: kind of stayed?
• 5:39:33
  Speaker 4: They were unbelievable.
• 5:39:35
  Speaker 13: You know, to cover four and two-thirds in any game
• 5:39:39
  Speaker 13: is asking a lot in a one-run game. it's asking
• 5:39:42
  Speaker 13: a ton and all of them were lights out. They
• 5:39:45
  Speaker 13: were all excellent. And it was just did my cap
• 5:39:49
  Speaker 13: to our bullpen tonight.
• 5:39:50
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 5:39:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 5:39:52
  Speaker 13: I haven't gotten an update, but you know, usually go
• 5:39:55
  Speaker 13: and check on him, but he was coming out.
• 5:39:57
  Speaker 4: So we don't have an update right now.
• 5:40:01
  Speaker 16: He's kind of said when Kate Smith comes out, it's
• 5:40:04
  Speaker 16: game over to have a guy like that at the
• 5:40:06
  Speaker 16: back end.
• 5:40:07
  Speaker 9: What does that mean for the team?
• 5:40:08
  Speaker 16: How much confidence is there when he's out there?
• 5:40:11
  Speaker 13: We've been pretty blessed here for a while with that.
• 5:40:14
  Speaker 13: Caden has really taken to this new role. It's an
• 5:40:19
  Speaker 13: adjustment for anybody. Obviously, he wasn't at his best at
• 5:40:22
  Speaker 13: the beginning of the year, stuff-wise, but it's been pretty
• 5:40:25
  Speaker 13: fun to watch him the last month or so.
• 5:40:28
  Speaker 7: He's the first closer in baseball to 20 saves so
• 5:40:30
  Speaker 7: far this season.
• 5:40:31
  Speaker 48: How has he taken that and been able to run
• 5:40:33
  Speaker 48: with it?
• 5:40:33
  Speaker 4: He's thrown a lot.
• 5:40:35
  Speaker 13: We really love the one-run game. But again, that's something
• 5:40:40
  Speaker 13: we need to get better with. It's great love that
• 5:40:42
  Speaker 13: Cade's got 20 saves. I hope he ends up with
• 5:40:45
  Speaker 13: as many as possible, but we need to be better.
• 5:40:48
  Speaker 13: We need to extend leads.
• 5:40:50
  Speaker 7: Talk about staying in one-run games and winning them. got
• 5:40:53
  Speaker 7: to play really good defense all over. I asked you
• 5:40:54
  Speaker 7: during the game, but just again, just the outfield defense.
• 5:40:57
  Speaker 7: What does that, what does that do for the pitchers?
• 5:40:58
  Speaker 7: I mean, it gives them confidence. Our pitchers can throw
• 5:41:00
  Speaker 7: to contact. They know the ball's going to get caught
• 5:41:02
  Speaker 7: behind them.
• 5:41:03
  Speaker 13: You know, on hills throws to play the game and
• 5:41:06
  Speaker 13: you know, to, to charge that ball and you know,
• 5:41:09
  Speaker 13: ground balls don't shoot through our infield very often. And
• 5:41:12
  Speaker 13: to have the wherewithal to be charging, come up and
• 5:41:14
  Speaker 13: throw a strike in the air. It was super impressive.
• 5:41:18
  Speaker 33: I mean, I.
• 5:41:19
  Speaker 7: Know he played the corners in 24, but so much
• 5:41:21
  Speaker 7: time in center last year to, play more corners than that.
• 5:41:24
  Speaker 13: So you're like, how is he? I mean, it's been
• 5:41:27

• 5:41:29
  Speaker 13: lot of work this winter to work on his first step,
• 5:41:31
  Speaker 13: to work on his angles. And then he and JT
• 5:41:33
  Speaker 13: have worked together every day. And he's really owning this
• 5:41:36
  Speaker 13: role of being able to play both corner spots, particularly
• 5:41:39
  Speaker 13: left field.
• 5:41:39
  Speaker 4: He has just been phenomenal out there.
• 5:41:41
  Speaker 13: And it's not an easy left field to play with

  Speaker 13: the high wall, the angles, but he's really taken to it.
• 5:41:47
