  Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Well, hidey-ho, 3.06 in the afternoon on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: And, Ron Verb, welcome. Good afternoon.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: What a lovely day we have going. I mean, just
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: the picture-perfect day. I hope you get a chance to
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: enjoy it. It is 72 degrees, and we're not dealing
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: with hot, humid weather. It's just really a perfect day temperature-wise.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: These are the days you long for and live for,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: and I hope you get a chance to enjoy it
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: as the afternoon rolls on.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Hey, good afternoon.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Welcome, as always, 330-729-9977. By the way, my top secret number,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: keep it to yourself.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: It's unlisted. If you want to call the program and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: get on board, 330-729-9977.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Here's how strange was this. So I'm sitting last night.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Here's the scenario. I'm at Verb Manor. I left right
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: after the broadcast yesterday. So I left right after six
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: o'clock yesterday. And I'm sitting at the island in the
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: kitchen of Verb Manor with my wife. And I'm having
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: a slice of pizza, one slice, just one slice. And
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the pizza of choice that day was Cornersburg pizza from
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the original Cornersburg. And I was sitting there having that.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: And my wife turns to me and she says, is
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: that the tornado siren? And I really didn't hear it because,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: you know, they rotate and they are quiet and then
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: they get loud. And I said, what? She said, is
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: that the tornado siren I'm hearing? And sure enough, by
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: now it's rotating. What a great system. First and foremost,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: let's just acknowledge it is the best alert system around. Because,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, so it's circling around and you can hear
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the tornado siren going off again. So you just hear
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: it go off. And I just turn to her and
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I say, this is unbelievable.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: And sure enough..
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: You can what's a great video coverage Paul Wetzel had
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: on TV 27 with the weather cameras, with the weather
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: cameras that they had. I mean, Paul Wetzel just did
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: what a great coverage with those weather cameras where you
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: could actually see you could physically watch the day. This
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: is you could see the tornado right there on television
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: as it was happening live. As it was happening live,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: as you would see it, you know, on the east side,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: if you will, heading towards Girard. And it was right there.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, live on television. And you just sat back
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: and you said, this is unreal. Because we just went
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: through this, what, in less than two weeks? And here
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: we go again. And just to watch the progress of
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: this as it moved somewhat rapidly.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And it's going really down, what, 422 for the most part.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: It was just great coverage by our television station, WKBN,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and Paul Wetzel. So they did an excellent job on that.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: And there was obviously some damage in the areas where
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: it went. But the strange part, and that's the weird
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: thing about tornadoes, is that The sun was shining out
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: our front door. We didn't even get any rain.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: So the sun was shining.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: And you could look over and you could see dark
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: skies and you could see what they were, the television coverage.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: But I mean, we didn't suffer any rain there. That's
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: not to my recollection. I don't think it's it even rains.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: So it was like, wow, how interesting is that? But
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: it's unbelievable that that happened for a second time.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: In two weeks.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: But there you have it. Is somebody messing with the weather?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Is somebody messing with the weather? Or is this just
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: a case that you have these people that say, hey, see,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: we're telling you this is global warming. It's screwing with
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the weather patterns. That's why you got all these extreme
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: conditions anymore. It's global warming.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Get used to it.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: That's why you have areas that are hotter than they've
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: ever been. And that's why you have all this crazy
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: weather that's going on. It's global warming. And that's what
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: some folks say, some scientists say. Others disagree with that.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: So I guess we don't know for certain. A lot
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: of people have opinions, but it doesn't mean they're scientists
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: or they know. We can all have opinions on it,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: but there's always those people that say, boy, the weather's
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: awful strange. Look at how hot it's getting in some
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: of these areas, hotter than it's ever been, and all
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: this kind of extreme weather, and that's what global warming's
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: all about, or.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: So they say. So there you have it.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Yesterday's adventure, sitting right there, eating a slice of pizza
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: with my wife when these sirens are going off.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: So let's see.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: There you have it. I want to talk to you
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: about El Presidente. I got in a discussion with G2
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: last night on a program. And for those of you
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: that listen on a regular basis, I must confess, I mean,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I think that this is a disaster what's going on
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: as far as Trump and Iran. I think it's just
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: an absolute disaster that he should have never done in
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the first place. He should have never got involved in
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: this in the first place. I mean, it was a
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: mistake from day one. Now, do you just continue on
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: with this? And knowing that it was a mistake from
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: day one, do you just continue to stay the course
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: despite the fact that it's a mistake?
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Because..
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Here's the problem. You're seeing oil prices go up, gas
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: prices go up. I mean, what is just stifling everything
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and everybody?
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Inflation.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is just out of control. You hear
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: communities talk about why they need more money because a
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: fire truck costs so much more, a police car costs
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: so much more. And you know it's true, just like
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: you take a look at what they say your house
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: is worth now.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: This is all inflation. Inflation.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Well, your house is worth this much, and that's what
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: we're going to tax you on. Have you priced vehicles
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: these days? I mean, it's ridiculous what they're looking for
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: some of these. Not that you can't find a good
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: deal on some new cars, depending what you're looking for.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: You can get like a Chevy Trax and that kind
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: of stuff. There's still some affordable stuff out there on
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the lower end, the affordable ends. But if you look
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: at a lot of other stuff, it's pretty steep on
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: a price. So everything you look at from housing to cars,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: your electricity is doubled. Gasoline's back at four bucks a gallon.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Your property taxes keep going up. Groceries keep costing more.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, all the stuff that you need. Who doesn't
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: need electricity? Electricity is doubled. It's doubled in price. The
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: cost of your electricity is doubled. Natural gas has gone up.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Groceries have gone up. Like I said, gasoline was down.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Now it's back to $ 4 on average. Insurance has gone up.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: All this stuff has gone up way beyond single digits,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: double digits. I don't think anybody's income can keep up
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: with it. And it affects your savings. Whether you're, no
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: matter what age you are, it can affect your your savings,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: your retirements, your stock portfolio. Hey, look, I got this
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: much money, but it doesn't buy as much as it
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: used to buy. Well, because of inflation. And I was disagreeing,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I guess, with G2 yesterday saying, I don't see any
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: end in sight to this situation. I don't see any
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: end in sight. As they say, what do they say
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: is the definition of insanity, doing the same thing again
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: and again and expect different results? So let's just keep
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: on bombing. Let's bomb them some more. That'll bring them
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: to submission. Let's bomb this stuff now. And, you know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: we've heard all along they're close. They want to make
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: a deal. I got him on the ropes. Trump was saying,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: and that didn't materialize. Well, we got this 60 day moratorium. Well,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: that didn't materialize. And now we're going to bomb them
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: some more Iran, and then we'll get them where we
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: need them.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Well, what if that doesn't work? So is there a
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: possibility that.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: These people were underestimated, that they're pretty well dug in
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: and they're not going to give in?
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Just a thought.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, it could be a major mistake, but I
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: do know this much, it's going to just continue to
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: add to inflation. Have a hard time getting nitrogen, which
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: is for fertilizer, for farmers, other chemicals as well. I mean,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: the Strait was open. We didn't have any of these
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: problems prior to them doing this. Now, these problems just
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: continue to go on as far as energy. We're draining
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: our reserves, our strategic oil reserves. China's doing the same thing.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: So we're tapping into all our reserve oil. And using
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: all that to try to keep prices low. Well, what
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: do you do when you're at these critical levels that
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: they're talking about that the oil experts were talking about
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: you'd be hitting in July and August as you continue
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: to drain it? Then when you stop draining it, now
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: what do you do? Now what happens to prices? Just
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: something to think about as inflation continues, I think, to increase.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: I just think we're all becoming poorer as a result
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: of this. We're all getting poorer every day. Everything's getting
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: more expensive. No one's income keeps up with it. They
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: continue to stay the course on this and It's just
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: not a good scenario. Comments, 330-729-9977, 330-729-9977. I don't know
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: if the right thing is just to say to Israel.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Hey, you're on your own. We're done with this. You're
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: on the air.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Hey, Ron, are you done with your monologue?
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: If you're the first caller, I've got to think about
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: that for a second because if you're the first caller,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: if I'm done with my monologue, it means I've got
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: to talk to Bubba Ganoush.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: No, no.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: I was waiting until you were done fomenting about Trump.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, I am done at this point in time, and
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not a cheerleader for Trump, as you are.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I'm a realist.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, I'm a realist.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: I'm a cheerleader for the United States of America.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Hey, did you hear the compliment that was paid to
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: you last night?
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: No.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: You didn't hear it?
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: No.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Are you ready for this?
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I'm going to share some top secrets radio gossip with
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: all of you. Do you know the caller I'm asked
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: more questions about than any other caller? There's two, and
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: you're not one of them, but there's two callers I'm
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: asked more questions about than any other callers, any of them,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: when I'm not sitting here in the studio.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Can you guess who those two are?
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: No, but you were saying somebody said something nice about me.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but can you guess who those two are?
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: No, I cannot.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I thought you were a visionary. I thought you were
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: like psychic.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: No, you've got buddies that give you wrong information.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: So come on, tell me about somebody said something nice
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: about me. I'd like to hear that.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, two callers that I know that I get asked
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: about more than any other callers on this broadcast.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Any of them. I mean, they're neck and neck.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: Go on, say who it is.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Well, take a guess.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: I'm not.
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: I can't guess.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it is.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Come on, take a guess.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: No, it's not God.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: How about G2 is one of them, huh?
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: He's one of them, yes. So now you're 50-50. So
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm playing Jeopardy or some game with you.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: The other one's JJ.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Now, see, I said, did I not say you've got
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: psychic abilities, yes or no?
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Did I?
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: No.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Answer the question.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Did I not say I think you have like psychic abilities?
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Yes or no?
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: You said that?
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Yes. Yes.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: And you said, I don't know who they'd be. And
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I said to you, there are two callers I'm asked
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: more questions about than any of the other regular callers.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: And you said, I don't know.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: And I said, I know you know because you're like psychic.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: And here you go. And those two callers are? g2
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: and jj i mean i'm asked more questions about jj
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: the liberal and g2 than any of our other regular
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: callers so yesterday jj the liberal said to g2 in
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: a discussion with g2 he refers to g2 affectionately as
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: vladimir he said i would rather listen to baba ganoush
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: than you.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: How about that how about that.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't agree with him, but I thought
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: that was.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: A compliment to him.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Why did he say that?
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Well, I was just saying he said that, and I
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: thought it was a big compliment to you. I didn't
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: say I said it.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: He said it.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but did you ask him why?
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Well, there really wasn't time. They were in a big
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: argument with each other.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, there really wasn't time to ask him because
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: he was on fire last night and G2 and him
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: were really getting into it. So I couldn't interrupt him
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: and say why. But I said, oh, there's a compliment.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell Bubba Ganoush when he calls that J.J.,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: the liberal, says he would rather have Bubba Ganoush than G2.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: And I thought to myself, boy, I sure wouldn't.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: But that might not be a compliment.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Well, why wouldn't it not be a compliment?
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: I don't believe in his views.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with his views. He was
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: just saying. I mean, I would perceive it as a compliment.
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: Oh, okay, then.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, I thought it was a compliment. Well, you
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: seem awful sensitive today.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I'm not sensitive.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: I'm not sensitive.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: No, you're sensitive today. You seem like you're.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: You're formatting on the radio, and I'm trying to get
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: to the point.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Get to the point.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: Let me share something that you don't know.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah.
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: So, I..
• 15:15

  Speaker 1: You're echoing so much. Get close to the phone. What
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: are you, on the toilet?
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: No. I'm not in my situation right now. Anyhow, I
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: said he had a meeting with the president of Lebanon.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah?
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: And they worked out a deal where he can help
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: them get control of their country and get Hezbollah out
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: of there.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: So that's huge.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll see. I said we'll see.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: It's a giant mess. I'm telling you, I don't think
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of options here.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: And..
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: This was a miscalculation on his part. And this rests
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: at the feet of Donald J. Trump, the guy I
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: voted for.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I still support.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: And it's a mess. And the economy's a mess as
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: a result of it. And it might get a lot worse.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Listen.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: What?
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Listen, you're making the world safe, Ron.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't necessarily agree with that.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, man. That's fine.
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Well, it sounds like you're angry.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: See, he seems like he was just, like, angry with me.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: But I think he's a Trump cheerleader.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: In my opinion.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: I still don't know why. I heard that conversation you
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: had on with G2. And I keep telling myself, I
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: keep asking myself, who's to gain? China has sucked up
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: a lot of fuel and stuff and is storing huge
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: amounts of it.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Well, no, no, no.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: China has an even larger strategic oil reserve than we do,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: and they're tapping into that. At the same time, China
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: is cutting down on consumption. So China has cut down
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: on consumption and tapping into their strategic oil reserves, which
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: are larger than ours. We have been tapping into ours.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: We're at a level, a low level that we haven't
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: seen since, I think, 1985. So we're going through ours.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Well, what happens..
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: When you're done drawing off of this stuff, I mean,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: to keep prices down. Now, what's the next move? And
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: that's where these oil experts say we are in July
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: and August here, that that's what's coming. And you could
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: see much higher prices for a barrel of Earl, as
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: they say in Texas, and for a gallon of gasoline.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: And that creates inflation. Go ahead.
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: Well, it's China. China's going to gain, because... Right now,
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: they're all saying that Iran is the centerfold of all
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: that is so bad in the world, when actually, who
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: are the people that are picking them up? It's China.
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: China's going in there, probably flying stuff in and out
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: of there all the time. And they're just waiting to
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: take over the world's commerce, and Trump helped them with
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: all the damn tariffs. But the problem being is that
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: G2 wants to think that this guy, who, if you
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: take a look at his record of being a businessman,
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: isn't all that great. Matter of fact, it's pretty sad.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: He's done OK because he's he's wealthy and he's got
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: a good brand and all that kind of stuff. But
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: forget all of that. I'm more interested in what he's
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: doing as president. I make this I say this to
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: you once again, I voted for the guy and I
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: wouldn't vote for Harris or Biden if I had to
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: do it tomorrow. But I think that this is a
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: major mistake. Can I support somebody and at the same
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: time say this is a major mistake?
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: And I think that.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: He was snookered into it and we are all paying
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: a dear price.
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree with you. I understand that concept totally.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: But what bothers me is he's continuously going on, and
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: it's just going to, with his attitude towards other countries,
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: I mean, take a look at that summit. Nobody really
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: wanted to talk to him because, well, he's the neighbor
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: that comes in a bad mouth to everybody. He don't
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: want to work with anybody. I am the president of
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: the United States, and I'm God, and I don't care
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: about anybody else's feelings. They had that forest fire up
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: there in Canada and in Minnesota. And he's saying, well,
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: we better put some tariffs on these people because they
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: can't control it. Well, that makes no sense. Tariff seems
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: to be a thing that he thinks he can control.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: When in turn, Canada is going to say, well, the
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: United States will deal with somebody else. And guess who
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: that is?
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: China.
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: China is in the breath right now of taking over
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: the world economy because of this guy here that you
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: voted for, and mind you, This Republican voted for him
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: the first time, and halfway through his first shot at
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: being a president, I wondered what in the hell I
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: was thinking.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: All right, stand by, please, stand by. I'll get back
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: to him momentarily. Callers in line, stand by. Ron Furt,

  Speaker 1: A to Z.
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: On NewsRadio 570, WKBN. All right, back to it here.
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: Good afternoon, 335. Perfect day here on Wednesday, July 22nd
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: with 72 degrees. It's just perfect out there today.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: All right, so you voted for Trump the first time,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: and you say you did not vote for him the
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: second time?
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: No, by halfway through his first time being president, I wondered,
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: what is this guy doing? He's not helping out you, me,
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: or our kids or our grandkids or our great-great-grandkids. All
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: he's doing is helping himself. I mean, just take a
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: look at how much money this guy's made.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: So you're telling me, though, you voted for Biden or Harris?
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: Oh, I voted for Biden when he went in the
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: first time. The second time I voted, when I found
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: out that Trump was all pushing on it, I voted
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: for Harris just because of the fact that I didn't
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: think that Trump was not so..
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, in all seriousness, did you have to hold
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: your nose? I mean, listen, as bad as you might
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: think Trump is, he's a lot better than Harris.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Good God.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: Well, you see, that's the point. A lot of people
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: will stay with a Republican only because they're Republican.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Well, no, she's just stupid. Well, I understand that.
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: But, see, I don't blame you. I'm not mad at you.
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: I accept the fact that you think Trump is okay.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: And I don't. I take a look at what he's done.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: More than 98% of his things he's been involved in,
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: if it hadn't been for his dad's money, he wouldn't
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: be where he's at. I mean, how would you like
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: to get out of college and get a million dollars? Here,
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: here's a million dollars. Go do something. And then when
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: you screw it up, he gives you another couple million
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: to straighten it out.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Well, that's exactly what happened to me.
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: Oh, my goodness. Why are you sitting there talking to me?
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: You mean to tell me your dad didn't do that
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: for you? What kind of father did you have?
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: You mean to tell me when you got out?
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: I had a great father. I loved him very much.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: But he didn't give you a million dollars and tell
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: you to be on your way?
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: No.
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: Go out and make it. I made mine.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: I never made a million. And neither did you.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Listen here, loser. All right, so you didn't vote for
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: him the second time. Here's my dilemma. I voted for
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: him every time, and I'd vote for him again. But
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: just because I disagree with him on this one issue
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean I don't like some of the other stuff
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: that he's done, and he's far better. I can't vote
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: for these people that think– You put tampons in men's bathrooms.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: You can wish yourself pregnant or wish yourself a woman
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: or any of that craziness, that wokeness. We can't say
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen and all of this craziness that they
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: stand for on the social agenda, let alone.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Their economic agenda.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Don't forget, Biden created all this double-digit inflation with his policies.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: But I'm man enough to say Trump is making it
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: worse with this situation in Iran. Remember, before the war,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: we had gas down about $ 2. 50 a gallon. Prices were
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: going down. Imagine where things would be right now if
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: he never engaged in this situation. We'd all be better off.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: You're right. We'd all be better off. But he decided
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: he had to have a war.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: With a country... that has the 11th most powerful military
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: and is showing it yet today that they still have it. Why?
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: Because the country of China and Russia have been feeding
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: them military equipment all along.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the case.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: I just think that they're dug in and they're not
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: going to raise a white flag like they think they
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: should have already. I mean, I feel I've been deceived
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: by some of the stuff that the president's been saying.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: They want to make a deal. They want to make
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: a deal.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: He's been saying that week after week after week. And
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: there's never been a deal. And we got him right
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: where we want him. And then this 60-day ceasefire and
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: there's nothing going on there. It appears to me that...
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: They don't want to make a deal. It appears to
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: me that they have control of the strait. Remember, that
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: strait was open before this war ever took place. You
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: didn't have any of these problems that you're seeing now,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: or we'll see after this is over with, as far
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: as the strait is.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Concerned, correct?
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, you're absolutely correct, and it's going to take
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: better than a year to 18 months, if not two years,
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: to get everything straightened out. But who put us in
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: this mess?
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Trump.
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: And with all this stuff that you say he's doing
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: for the country... He didn't lower the gas prices. The
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: economy did. Who is the economy? You, me, my wife,
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: your wife. Hang on a second here.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Here's where you're wrong on oil prices. He did.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Help lower the oil prices by expanding drilling offshore and
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: on federal lands. All the stuff that Biden prevented... and
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: the regulations that Biden put.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: In, he got rid of them.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: So he did very much increase drilling, and he knew
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: that if he increased the oil supply, oil prices would
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: come down. And they did come down as a result
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: of it. I mean, if he would have never done this,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: I bet you'd be at $ 2 a gallon for gasoline
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: if he would have never done this, or certainly $ 2.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: 25.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Gas would have been much cheaper, and I think your
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: groceries would have been less expensive. Inflation was going in
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: a downward direction. This was a stupid move. And my
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: question is, do you just continue on? If this was
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: a mistake from day one, do you just continue down
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: this road with.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: No end in sight?
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: Well, it kind of looks like Vietnam, don't it?
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: You know what? It does. It does.
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: The thing of it is, okay, so we take the
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: restrictions off. Go drill, baby, drill. How long is it
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: going to take for them to drill? Get that oil out.
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: Get it moved to where it can be turned into
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: gas and diesel fuel. You're talking two, three years?
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Well, you're also going to— It won't happen in six months.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: You've got to acknowledge it's—all the stuff that I learned
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: about oil that I never thought I would know.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I'm almost like T. Boone Pickens.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: I've learned so much about oil. It's the type of
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: oil that we have is a light crude and you,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: and our refineries are made for heavy crude and you
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: need heavy crude for diesel and jet fuel and, and
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: light crude is good for gasoline, but most refineries can't,
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: we export a lot of the oil that we take
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: out of the ground because we need the other.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Type of oil.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: So it's all kind of tied together to a certain extent.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, You follow what I'm saying? Oil just isn't oil.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: It's different.
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: I understand that. And what you're saying, because I've, over
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: the years, I've educated myself on that by looking it
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: up and paying attention. But what I just don't understand
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: why people want to back a person who claims, oh,
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: I put in hundreds of thousands of pools. He never
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: put them in. He had contractors do it. He never
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: put them in. He just put out the money out there.
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: And then when it was all built and done, he
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: had it for a few years, he had to get
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: rid of it. Yeah. And he couldn't hold it. So he,
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: how many times did he file for Chapter 11 and
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: Chapter 13 bankruptcies? Yeah. But that's, that's a businessman right there. Yeah.
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: The artist the deal is more so the art of
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: the steel and that's how i look at it all
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: right but the bitcoin the bitcoin thing too is you
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: want to buy buy into his bitcoin company okay so
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: we got to start off with the least amount. You've
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: got to spend $ 100, 000. Out of that $ 100, 000, you've got
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: to pay X amount of dollars in percentage for the paperwork.
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: And then every month or every six months, you get
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: a bill for looking at it and saying, this is
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: how much your Bitcoin is worth. If you don't keep
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: adding to it, It's going to get less and less
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: until finally it falls.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know anything about that. All right. Are you
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: having a lovely day today, old-timer?
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: Yesterday was kind of scary. I was actually thinking about
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: you because of the way that tornado was going, and
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: then I got thinking, no, you're over on that side.
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: On that rich side, there were things that wasn't so bad.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely. Yes, yes. Thank you for thinking of me.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: I was sitting right there when, like I said, eating
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: a slice of pizza when my wife said, there goes
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: the tornado sirens again. I mean, the most effective warning
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: system is those tornado sirens. I mean, that is the
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: most effective way of alerting everybody of, hey, be concerned.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Look to the sky. You know, pay attention.
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: On top of the sirens, I was here when it
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: came through Niles.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. So was I.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: And so the thing of it is, it got me is,
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: I could walk into my house and look at it,
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: and there was no weather. All of a sudden now,
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: in the past 10 years, they finally got it in
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: their head, when this stuff comes in, we're going to
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: take every channel we got in the surrounding area and
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: and we're going to give you a weatherman to tell
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: you where it's going and what's going on.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: And I will tell you this much, in all sincerity,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Paul Wetzel does the best job of anybody on 27.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: There's no question.
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: I think his whole crew is exceptional at that. They
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: work well together, and they talk together, and they don't
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: talk in language that you and I... Well, I can understand.
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: I know you can more than understand it.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I am a college graduate.
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, wow. From where?
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: The..
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: University of Akron. Yeah, I tell you.
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: Well, right on.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Right on.
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: University of life.
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the school hard knocks.
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: I've been knocked hard in a lot.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: Have a wonderful day. What was on the pizza?
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Pepperoni.
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: It don't go well with my gallbladder.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: It's the worst thing for you, but... But it was delicious. Hey,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: it's good hearing your voice. I appreciate it.
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: Thanks. I'm glad talking to you.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, folks, there's something about that guy I like.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: You know, there's this guy that calls me from Fifth Avenue,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: and we disagree, but I enjoy talking to him.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: And that guy, too. There's just something about that guy
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: I find pleasurable. You're on the air. Hello, Ron.
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: Thanks for taking my call. I've got a couple articles
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: I want to share I got today.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: Oilplanes.com. Goldman Sachs. Oren's oil could hit $ 120 a barrel
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: as Middle East war drags. They're talking before the end
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: of the year that oil's going to go to $ 120
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: a barrel. That'll make gas around.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: $ 6 a gallon.
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: And there's another front opening up. Saudi Arabia has ports
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: on the Red Sea so they can take their oil
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: and tankers up to the Suez Canal and, uh, They
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: ship them through the Mediterranean to the rest of the world.
• 33:30
  Speaker 8: And the Houthis have been threatening. They're going to bomb
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: the tankers. They called the tank headquarters, and two of
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: them turned around, and they were bombing for China and India.
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: They made U-turns. So we got another problem in the
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: oil is with the Red Sea and the Houthis.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: Trump suggests he could restart Yemen bombing campaign in response
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: to Red Sea blockade. So a lot of trouble. It
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: ain't getting better.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, I agree. I agree with you.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, I am in total agreement with you as
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: far as this could. I don't see it getting better.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: I don't see there is an easy way out of this,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: in my opinion. I just don't see there to be
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: an easy way out at all. And it was a
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: mistake from the very beginning. And he knows it's a mistake.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: He knows he thought he's been lied to and misled
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: by Netanyahu and Israel.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: He knows it.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: And now he's looking for a way, I think, to
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: save face and get out of this, as opposed to
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: just saying, pack it up and tell Israel you're on
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: your own.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Because, I mean, he created this mess, he being Trump.
• 34:53
  Speaker 8: And all this crazy weather we're having, it could be
• 34:56
  Speaker 8: man doing it, and it could also be God judging
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: our country. Some of these wars we've been into. You know,
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: God judges nations, too.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: I think we're heading for serious times.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: So do I.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm concerned about it. I can't be like
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Bubba Ganush and a Trump cheerleader. And I hope I'm wrong.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: I hope I'm wrong. But I don't see an end
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: in sight to this. This idea, oh, we just keep
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: bombing more and more and more.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: It's not working.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: It hasn't worked to this point. See, I would go
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: back and say this to you. That's a whole other
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: part of the world. They don't think like you. They
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: don't live like you. They don't think like you. And
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: they don't necessarily want what you want. And we think
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: that they should be thinking like us and what we want.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: But they don't think like that.
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: They've got a totally different religion. Right.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: And you think that they're falling in love with America
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: as you continue to bomb this country of 93 million people?
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: Who knows how many innocent people we're killing, too.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just interesting. I don't see an easy
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: way out of this. And I'm with you. I certainly
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: hope I'm wrong, but oil could go easily to that
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: or higher. And your gasoline prices and inflation will really,
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: really be out of control. And that makes all of
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: us poorer. You follow what I'm saying? I feel as
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: though I'm getting poorer every day.
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: Your truckers might stop going up and down the highway.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: I'm getting poorer every day because your 401k or your
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: IRA or your savings doesn't buy what it bought just
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: a short time ago. It takes more dollars to buy
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: stuff than it used to. So all that you work
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: for as far as your investments and your savings are
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: buying less. And if inflation goes up even more as
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: a result of this goofy situation, you become poor. My
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: electric costs have doubled. My property taxes are out of control.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: I have politicians that could care less what they're doing.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: to the productive taxpayers. You follow me? I have politicians
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: that could care less about the problem that they're creating
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: for everybody with property taxes. They could care less. I
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: have a library system in Monon County that could care
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: less what people think and are very arrogant. I have
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: property taxes going up with re-evaluations because we're saying your
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: house is now worth this, and it'll go up even
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: though you didn't vote for anything. I have this MRDD
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: asking for an exorbitant levy, and if that passes, your
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: taxes will go up even higher. My electric costs have doubled,
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: the cost of my electricity. My natural gas costs are up.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: My food prices are up. An airline ticket is up
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: in cost. My gasoline prices are up every time I
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: fill up a vehicle. My insurance costs are up. I
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: haven't even got through it all. I could go in
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: with the cost of medical care, and there's so much
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: more that have been double-digit increases. So who can keep
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: up with all of this craziness?
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: So everyone's getting poorer. And it's like, does anybody give
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: a damn about this at all?
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: You're a great watchman. You're doing a great service for
• 38:36
  Speaker 8: the community. I respect you highly.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: And I respect you, and I thank you for your call.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: And I do. God bless. All right. News Radio 570, WQEN.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: I'll have to get into some of these people that
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: submitted letters to replace Santos to be an Austin Township trustee.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: I've got to get to that later in the broadcast
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: at some point because it's like, gee, when you look
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: at that list, there's only one or two on an
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: entire list that would actually be qualified to really, or
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: do a good job or step into that job.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: I'll be right back.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: All right, and Ron Verp from the Kingdom of Mahoning here, 355,
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: on a Wednesday afternoon, and you're on the air.
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: Yes, Ron, I think a lot of you guys are
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: just never been in a fight before.
• 39:29
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: Sometimes you're in a fight. I've been in a hundred
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: of them where you got to fight all you got.
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: And you got it. You know, even if you lose,
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: you know, you don't give up. And that's what Trump's doing.
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: What's Trump is doing? Trump is cleaning up the mess.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: that Jimmy Carter and every president since Jimmy Carter left behind.
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: All right? Iran has been a bully. They've been getting
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: away with it until Trump. What he will do is
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: he will pull out the lights-out defense on it, which
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: I've seen Ed McCluskey, the legendary basketball coach, do at
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: Farrell in 1972 when they were in the playoffs and
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: they were losing 38-18 at halftime. And McCluskey switched the
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: plays around, put in the lights-out defense, and the other
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: team scored two points in the third quarter. And Farrell
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: scored 20. So they went from a 20-point deficit to
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: a two-point deficit in one quarter. That's how quickly it happened.
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: And that's what you're going to see now. You're going
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: to see Trump is going to start taking out bridges
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: and power plants. And we'll see how tough they get
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: when they have no lights. Because lights are out.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Well, we shall see. It hasn't worked to this point.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: He's been telling you all along, oh, they want to
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: make an agreement, they want to make an agreement. He's
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: been telling you that for months now.
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, he says stuff all the time, right?
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: But it's halftime, Ron. It's halftime, and how many cities
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: have they bombed in the United States?
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: None.
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: How many of our aircraft have they shot down out
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: of the thousands, the sorties we run?
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Not many.
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: How hard did they hit us? Well, we hit them
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: pretty hard. And they won't give up because the IRGC
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: is hated by their own people. They have no choice
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: but to fight to the bitter end. So we've got
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: to just completely take them out and send that country
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: back a thousand years. That's all we have.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: We shall see if that happens. We shall see.
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: We'll say the B-52s haven't come out yet.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: We shall see.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: It hasn't worked at this point in time. And you
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: could be paying a lot more. You could be a
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: lot poorer as this goes on.
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: I want justice.
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: We shall see.
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: Church is out.
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: I got to pause. We'll be right back. If you're
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: in the market for tires, the time.
