  Speaker 1: News, weather, and talk station, 570 WKBN. All right, back
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: with Rich News Radio, 570 WKBN. From an economic standpoint, though,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: everything that Frank said at the beginning, I am in
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: total agreement with.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: And the problem is, I think if we didn't start
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: the war, and you didn't have this gas spike and
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: all the interruptions it's causing globally, because everything's interconnected now.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Nobody can do it on their own anymore. You need
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: the rest of the world. There's always something somewhere in
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: the world that you need that if it goes on short,
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: it affects all of us. But without that, don't start
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: this war, and I think the economy is probably hitting
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: on all cylinders because if you take the gas inflation out,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: a lot of the other inflation has actually come down.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: If you read what the Fed is putting out and
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: what some of the other economists are putting out, The
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: underlying core inflation actually isn't that bad, but you go
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: to the gas pump, you go to the grocery store,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: tell people that. They believe what their eyes tell them.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Now, I don't necessarily agree with that statement when they
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: just said it was 3.4%, 3.5%. That's on top of– see,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: people fail to realize this is on top of the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: inflation that's already there. It just keeps building on top
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: and on top, and it becomes more and more and more.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, everywhere I look, contrary to what you say,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: insurance costs more. Like I say a million times, my
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: electric has doubled. Natural gas costs more. Car insurance costs more.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Food costs more. Gasoline costs more. Bob Dieter tells you
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: all the time on how the price of a furnace
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and air conditioning keeps going up.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but how much of that is regulation? You can't
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: use R-134 or anything anymore because it's supposed to be..
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Well, some of it is, but some of it is
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: their costs have gone up as well. I mean, the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: shipping costs, building costs, manufacturing costs. I mean, if you're
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: asking me, do I think Trump had things going in
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the right direction before the war? Yes. Do I think
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the war has changed everything and put it in reverse? Yes.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's that good at all right now
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: because of this.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Did you read that Wall Street Journal article I sent
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: you last night? I think Bennett Facon at the Wall
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Street Journal was talking about how Iran's doubling down. Because
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Iran fully believes that we will capitulate and pull out
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: and they will win. And it's probably actually going to
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: strengthen them in the long run. If we do, we've
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: got bad choices. We pull out now. We look weak
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: in front of the rest of the world. We look
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: like the paper tiger everybody thinks we are. If we escalate,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: they're going to start hitting the rest of the Gulf
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: nations and start taking out water supplies and refineries and
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: stuff in Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Gulf states.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: So there's no good way to get out of this.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: He's in a pickle, and I have no idea how
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: we get out of this from here.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: There's the problem right there. Now what do you do?
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Because if you leave, you've actually just made Iran a
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: lot stronger than they were before the war. I think
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: eventually he's always said it's time to start hitting the
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: water supply. You can't say that five times and not
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: do it because then they don't believe you. But I
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: think if you went over, they don't produce enough domestic
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: gasoline to power their country. You take out their gasoline refinery,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: you start taking out some of their water supply, take
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: out their electricity, see how fast they rethink their obstinacy to,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: you know, our attacks. I think they would probably be
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: a little more conciliatory and more apt to negotiate. But
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: right now they think they're winning. And in some way,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know, it's hard to say they're not.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: It's a mess, and I don't see it getting better.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just don't see it getting better.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: You know, I love all these people that say this
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: is a war crime, that's a war crime. When you
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: go to war, I think it was Bombs Away LeMay,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Curtis LeMay, who did the napalm bombing of Tokyo and
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: the Japanese cities. And he flat out said, if we
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: would have lost the war, I fully expect I would
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: have been tried as a war criminal. Because he incinerated
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: hundreds of thousands of Japanese people. with napalm so you
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: know but you can't let that bother you when you
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: when you're at war you fight the war and you
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: throw everything you have at him and if if you
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: know some of it may be war crimes but it's
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: only a war crime if you lose well then the
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: other thing i think trump has to really worry about
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: is those they're going to try and assassinate him and
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: probably come after his family they've they've stated that you
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: better watch what he's doing because they they want they
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: want to take him out.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to believe anymore. I'll tell you that.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's fact or what's fiction and what's
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: propaganda and what's not. I'll just put it that way.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I just don't know. But we shall see. All right, Rich.

  Speaker 7: How was your weekend?
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: It seems like they fly by to me.
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I do.
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: I'm not a big fan of Sundays for personal reasons.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: I have family things, but Saturdays is always my favorite.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: I think for most people, Saturdays are their favorite day. But, yeah,
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: just listening to you guys, and I got out of
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: the hospital a little bit ago.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: What were you in there for?
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: Well, the other day I was... I ordered something in
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: the mail, and... my wife got it. It was, you know,
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: one of the, you know, and she opened up and
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: it was, I ordered a from 2028 hat. And, um,
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: she just said, you know, that was pretty much it
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: for her. And so she, uh, behind my back, she called, uh,
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: It's a Republican rehab place that reprograms you for being
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: a Republican. So she sent me there for three days.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure I get this straight. I mean,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: because obviously people who have followed along, I mean, this
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: is somewhat shocking. J.J., the liberal, of course, had went
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: in and he got like some electric shock therapy, very
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: similar to one flew over the cuckoo's nest therapy. very
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: similar to that type of situation. Picture JJ as the
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Jack Nicholson character, if you will. And there was this
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: really big tall guy there too. His name was Jim,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, but it was very, very tall
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: guy named Jim. But anyway, it's JJ. The liberal was
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: there and they did like some type of shock therapy
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: for you. And the next thing you know, the next, uh,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: he realized that, uh, he had been, you become a Trumpster, right?
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, like you, uh, all of a
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: sudden it was like, yeah, you're happy. Trump's your man. And, uh,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: right after the therapy, you were calling me and JJ,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the Trumpster, you're very upset with some of the negative
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: things people were saying about Trump on the program. And
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: so you're saying that you ordered, uh, you ordered a
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: hat and an, Unfortunately, you didn't get there in time
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: to open it up. I mean, your wife opened your package.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: It came in and your wife, you had a Trump
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: 2028 hat that you had ordered since your therapy. And
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: your wife was very upset. And she tried to try
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to send you back to the institution to get you deprogrammed.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: No, she succeeded.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: She got me in my sleep. I was sleeping next to,
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: you know, a couple of guys with white shirts on.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: You know, next thing you know, I got my arms
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: tied up around my back and they're hauling me off.
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: The neighbors didn't help me because they're obviously a bunch
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: of liberals. So they let me be dragged away like that,
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: kicking and fighting and whatever. So I was quite upset
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: with it. And when she saw the hat, she said,
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: this is not the person I married, JJ.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: So you went through some type of reversal.
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: It's a reversal.
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: So now, I shouldn't be saying it on air. I
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: should actually put me on hold. And I tell you,
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: but she's, I've already re-called my doctor. My doctor, what
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: was it?
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: No, Vinnie Voomba.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Dr.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Vinnie Voomba.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I called. and this morning without her knowing, I
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: rescheduled my reschedule. So now I go in.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: J.J.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: I rescheduled. So for Wednesday, I'm going in Wednesday to
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: get my reprogramming reprogrammed. So then I can as a
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: Republican and hopefully I just got to learn how to
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: deal with her now so I don't have to. They'll overly,
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: you know, say my support for Trump. You know, I
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: can just kind of hee-haw about it, and then hopefully
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: I can play the role that she thinks that I've
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: been reprogrammed from my initial reprogram. So she thinks she's smart,
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: but I'm.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: A little bit sharper. This is very confusing.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: Hopefully nobody will say nothing to my wife when I'm speaking.
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: I shouldn't be telling this because now I've... Let the
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: cat out of the bag, so to speak.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: But that's a lot of..
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: It's not a good experience. It really wasn't going to...
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: When we programmed from the time that I was happy
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: as a Trumpster now to..
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Uh, you're miserable again. You're miserable again.
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: It's two o'clock after I was out of there. I,
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: you know, I cursed everybody that was all the doctors
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: and everybody. I cursed him on the way out and
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: kind of, uh, you know, yeah. It said 2028 with
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: my hand up, you know.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: And they, so when you, so when you were walking
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: out to, you were basically, as I was reported to me,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you had told those doctors, they were all making too
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: much money and it should be redistributed to people that
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: were less fortunate.
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: Uh, Well, of course, the people that were in there
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: are like myself. I was kind of complaining about that,
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: so they gave me an extra dose of shock and
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: kind of raised it from about 2,000 votes. I almost
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: bit my tongue off. I had to watch when they
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: were in control. I couldn't insult them like I did.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: So I just waited until afterwards, and I was walking out,
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: and I was free man, and I kind of laid
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: into them. So right now... You know, split in half. Oh, man.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: It's almost like.
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: Myself as a liberal and a Republican.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: So it's my God, you're getting almost electrocuted. It's almost
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: like you're in the electric chair.
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't eat anything. I can't watch. I can't
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: bite down on food because then my teeth kind of
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: lock up. So I don't know if that's part of
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: that continuous. And my hair's falling out. I don't have
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: that much hair in the first place. And that's falling out.
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: So it's got to be that or, you know, I
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: can't imagine anything else. It's just not a coincidence.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I don't understand that because when I saw you, you
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: had plenty of hair. And it was all gray. I mean,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: did the electric shock therapy?
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: I had a full head of hair. Now it's gray.
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: And I've got half of it. So at least it's
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: pulling out from the back and I'm not getting it
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: down the middle or anything where it's too obvious and
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: I have to get a rug.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: So it's coming from the back because of the electric shock?
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I mean, I've gone through numerous ones. I
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: think I've gone through, I mean, almost, I don't even
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: remember now, at least six or, I don't know, quite
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: a few. And I had one day, I didn't even
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: realize I called you that day. I was off in
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: a kind of, I had put away, you know, a
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: couple of drinks there, and I didn't even realize until
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: my wife said one of her friends was... You don't
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: wonder what happened to me if I was drinking in
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: front of a kid and stuff. So I didn't even realize.
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: So I obviously embarrassed myself there that day calling in.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: So like if I say, some days I don't know
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: who the hell I'm talking to. By the way.
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: I don't know who you're talking.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: To either there, pal.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: By the way, isn't it sad to me? I don't
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: know why. It's sad to me because you're over in the...
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Cornersburg area. They're ripping down that Rite Aid building today.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, so you had that beautiful, it was close,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: that beautiful Rite Aid right there in the corner, right?
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, nice building, not that old.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: And so today, only in America do we take a
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: building like that that's not very old. We're ripping it
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: down to make more garbage to put somewhere. This building
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: isn't that old. We'll rip it all down, and we'll
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: take it off to a dump where it'll sit forever,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and then we'll build a Sheetz gas station there. We
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: don't repurpose anything anymore. I mean, it's such a damn shame.
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: And the thing is, we don't even, and I'm going to, obviously,
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: I'm going to cry. It's, I'm like five houses from
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: Bright Agent, Ron. I'm going to put it that way.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: And we, my wife and I were talking and she
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: said that, you know, she found out about it being
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: turned into the, where's the speedway we said?
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Sheets.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: No, it's going to be a Sheets.
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: Pardon?
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a Sheets.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: And I told her, I was like, you know, there's
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: a couple of small businesses around here that the guy
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: across the street, that is a shell.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I think it's shell.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: He's been there for years. That fixes tires and stuff.
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: This is going to take business away from them. There's
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: the one store right up on, um, um.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: There's a shell station right up there.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: No, no, no.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: There's a shell station right across from the..
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: There's Canfield Road.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: There's Tippecanoe.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: And then once it changes over, I think it goes
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: to Meridian.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but on Meridian, you've got the shell station with
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: the convenience store. You also have the guy with that
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: golf station that's been there forever.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: And now you're going to have a Sheetz there. And
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: it's not a very big piece of property, but Sheetz
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: builds beautiful stores, make no mistake. I mean, they build
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: really nice places. So, I mean, I'm sure that they'll
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: do well and they'll be busy. But I always look
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: when they're ripping down any of these buildings that aren't
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: that old. I just think it's almost like a tragedy.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: It's sad that we make garbage so easily out of...
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: out of a place. I don't know that it could
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: have been repurposed or not, but it's needless to say.
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: Sure, I'm looking at it right now on my driveway,
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: and I'm looking down, and I see the big, there's the,
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: what is it, that one up there, what it's called.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: You could actually listen.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Well, you ought to go up there and watch it. Yeah,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: you ought to go up and watch it. It'd be
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: kind of cool.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: Well, I don't like it for the simple reason is this.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: About three weeks ago, when I watch my son during
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: the day, my wife comes home later on in the day,
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: and then she'll spend time with him, and then he
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: usually goes to sleep. And when he goes to sleep,
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: everything's locked up because of him being on the spectrum.
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: I've got to worry about him trying to get out.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: So what I do is I sit in my garage,
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: and I do my painting at that time. I never sleep, Ron.
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: I sleep maybe two hours a night. And I'll do
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: my painting. And I sit up there and I watch
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: the house and the neighbor's house. And anyway, my neighbor
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: across the street, they're wonderful people. They helped me one time.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: I was attacked by a pit bull when I first
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: moved here. And the guy over there drove through the
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: pit bull away from me so I can make it
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: to my home. I could explain to you sometimes. I
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: still have nightmares where the dog's teeth are like jaws.
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: And James Bond, you know who Big Jaws was?
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: He had the teeth.
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: Every time I have a nightmare that it's coming to
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: me and he doesn't have regular teeth, he has those
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: metal blades as teeth. And he saved my life, basically.
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: And so anyway, they called me at like 3 o'clock.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: In the morning.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: I'm like, what the hell? And they go like, yeah,
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: this is so-and-so across the street. We had somebody knocking
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: on our back door saying, let me in, let me in.
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: Somebody's trying to get me. And I'm like, what? So
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: I'm like, I go, I'm surprised that that's in person
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: because my door's up. You drive by me, you're going
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: to see me in my garage. And I'm like, so
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: now I'm worried about... People coming around to my home. Like,
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: I'm out there all the time. Now I've got, like,
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: I had to take care of my defense.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: I'll say it that way.
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: In the garage now, so if anything happens, I see anybody.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: And now that this is going to be here. By
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: just an everyday occurrence, gas stations and community places like
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: that are bad news. There's bad news happening there.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: That won't be bad news. I mean, I think you'll— I.
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: Have to prepare that it's going to be bad news.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Oh, no.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I can assure you of this. Let me put you
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: at calm. I will calm you down. I will calm
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: you down. I'm sure it's going to be beautiful and
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: a great asset to your neighborhood. My point was it's
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: just sad whenever I see these buildings rip down. But
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: it's progress. But it won't be bad news. It'll be positive.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: It'll be a beautiful store. I like sheets. It'll be
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: a beautiful store, and I think you'll enjoy it. So
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: don't worry about it. All right.
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: All right. Anyway, thanks for listening.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: So I'll call you on Wednesday when.
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: I get my reprogram for my reprogram.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know who I'm talking to anymore. I don't
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: know if he's a liberal. He's a Trumpster. He's worried
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: about a gas. He's worried about a gas station being
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: built in this neighborhood. Oh, my. He's got so much
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: going on. You're on the air.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: How about when they tore down Cheddar's down there by
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: the mall and they opened up that B. James Brewhouse?
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: That building was brand new.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: That building, I bet you that wasn't even five years old,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: was it?
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: Not even that.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was beautiful. I mean, that was a
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: beautiful building. And then they ripped that down. You're right.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: That was another one that really bothered me. And it
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: was like... Why do we– you can't just move your
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: BJ's whatever, which is a nice place, into that facility
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and use that. It's got to have your look to it.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: It's just like we make so much damn trash anymore.
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: How about the other deal about Wildwood Drive and Glenwood Avenue?
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: They're putting a roundabout in.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I see that. Isn't that a dandy? I'm trying to
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: figure that out altogether. Do you find it to be
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: that busy down there? Because I never did.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: My uncle used to live on Wildwood Drive. I went
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: down there many a time to see him, and there's
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: no traffic down there whatsoever.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: It seems to me, based on my observations, if you
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: go down there, that really interferes. with a lot of
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: those people's lots, doesn't it, on the corner?
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: No, I think there's a couple empty lots on that
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: corner there because there's a pile of lines down there.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: I believe. I might be wrong.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: No, no, you're right. There's two empty lots on one side,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: but on the other side, there are homes.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just... I don't know what the point
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: of that is.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: Well, get your buddy to Fabio and see what he
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: says about it.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just don't know.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: I want to talk about national now.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, the big roundabout stuff. It's like roundabout craziness is
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: going on anymore. I never really had a– I must
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: confess to everybody. I must confess. I never had a
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: problem with the stoplight at New Road and 46 in Austintown.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, it never really bothered me. If you've got
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: a problem with people, turn and put in an arrow.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: And I never really had a problem with Glenwood and
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Wildwood with a traffic light there. I mean, I just
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: don't get the roundabouts everywhere.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: I think it's somebody's brother-in-law is involved in building that stuff,
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: and so that's why they're giving the contracts.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. And basically it's just corruption, then, you're saying?
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: Well, let's talk about nationally.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: The guy that you think is fabulous, the president, how
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: about him? He wants to buy all new jets now.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: What do you think about that one?
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: You mean Air Force One?
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: No, he wants to build like 22 new jets.
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: For what?
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: To look like the old ones.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: I'm serious.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: You didn't hear that one?
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't hear this one.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: Oh, hopefully somebody will give you an update on that.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't even know what you're talking about, actually.
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't think he does either. But anyways.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Now, he's your president. He's your commander in chief.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right. Anyways, hopefully somebody will update you on this situation. So,
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: you have a nice evening.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: That's it? That's all you have?
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: Goodbye.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Short, sweet, and to the point. I want nothing more
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: to do with you. That's it. Goodbye. You're on the air.
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: How long was the Vietnam War? You were alive then, right?
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I'm a... A generation, what's the, hell, I don't even
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: know what the young generations are.
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: It would be Generation Y, and we would say, why
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: the hell is he still on the air? Yes, yes.
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: Why are we letting this guy talk?
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: Yes, yes.
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: Generation Y.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Don't worry. Now that I've reached this golden age that's
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: one of these days, I'm going to wake up and say,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I've had enough. All right, go ahead.
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: All right. So how long was the Vietnam War? You
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: were a young man.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it went on for years. I don't know exactly.
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: Years and years. It was into the mid-70s, and it
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: was going on in the early 60s. So in what?
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: Just on the American side, 58,000 we lost. Say again?
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: That's right, you were at the... 58,000 lives we lost,
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: American lives.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, around that, yeah.
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and how many have we lost since the Iran debacle?
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Maybe 20, very few.
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah, very few, and thankfully, we mourn the ones we
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: have lost.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Stand by for a minute. Back with Jake in a minute.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570 WKBN. Ron Furt from the Kingdom of Mahoning
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: on a Monday afternoon. Your one stop for advertising. Call
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: 70 WKBN. Ron Furt, NewsRadio 570 WKBN. All right. Back
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: with Jake. OK, go ahead, Jake. Of course, you've got
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: to remember when you're talking about Vietnam and there's difference.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: There's been, obviously, boots on the ground, as they like
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: to say, so a big significant difference.
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: That's what I'm saying. You can't, you know, oh, people
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: say they're more angry about this than Vietnam. Really? Okay, A,
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: we're not in Vietnam. We're not involved in that time
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: where 58,000 died. Okay, that's probably some bad decisions made there. Yeah,
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: it's a bad decision made here. I don't know. If
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: Rich got on and said all his great stuff about
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: the school boards and stuff, but then in between when
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: he switched from Canfield to the Blue Jays of Jackson-Milton,
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: that he screamed the N-word. We tend to block the
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: other stuff out. So it's not our fault. It's not
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: Ted the conservative's fault. It's not Rich's fault. It's not
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: my fault. It's not the old-timer's fault. It's the guy
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: screaming the N-word. Because that's what's going on. And it's ridiculous.
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: Rich is right. Everybody gives all the money. That's why
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: the leftist freaks from hell are screaming, get the money
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: out of politics. It's always going to be there. You're
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: not going to do that. And who's worse? People stand
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: there and defend China? Really? You have modern-day slavery. You
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: have the Uyghurs in a concentration camp. You have what
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: they're spying on in America every day. You have the
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: women coming over and having a baby to have their
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: kids citizens because we're– Stupid enough to let that happen.
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: But who's doing it? Whose plan is it? It's China's.
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: Go over to India. Wow, they make great decisions in India. Okay,
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: how about let's start with this. We talk about racism
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: all the time. Their entire country is based on racism.
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: They still have a caste system that they go by.
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: But we can't talk about that. They make great decisions,
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: and they make cheaper stuff, so we've got to ship our...
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: It just bothers me. There's so many issues. I like
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: Ron Burbs saying, wait, we've got to do something with
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: the tariffs because we got raped and pillaged in the 90s.
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: We got decimated as a country and as a workforce,
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: and I was part of it. You watched it happen.
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: And what's the answer? Ah, now you've got to go
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: get cheaper labor.
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: Okay, buddy, America doesn't survive like that. America doesn't survive
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: without the jobs. And there's a guy at the top
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: trying to bring the jobs back, and you're going to
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: say it's okay. We should have no tariffs. Look, if
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: all you care about is money, that's cool. But, you know.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Say that. You make a legitimate point because there's two
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: sides to every story. There's the guy that argues, well,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: wait a minute. If you bring all this stuff in
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: from all these other nations, my dollar buys more and
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I have more money in my pockets. And that's the
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: argument that they make. But the counter argument to that is, well,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: you believe that until it costs you your job. Until
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: your job is lost to somebody in some other country
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: that can do it for way less money. Because we
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: can't compete with those countries. I say it a million times.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: For Americans to have a job to go to and
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: the best social program is a good job, you've got
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: to say to yourself, we can't compete with these slave
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: wage nations. Stand by, Jake. I'll come back to him
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: after my break at 4. We'll talk tariffs and more.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Ron Furman, more to come.
