  Speaker 1: Now Ron verb on news radio, five 70 WKBN. Well,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: good afternoon. Three Oh five in the afternoon. It's 80 degrees.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: It's a lovely day on Tuesday, August 25th. Already Ron
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: verb from the kingdom of Mahoney. We are underway here
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: at three, three, zero seven, two nine 99 77. It's Tuesday, right? Yes. Three, three,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: zero seven, two nine 99 77. We'll get you through
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to us here on news radio, five 70 WKBN. So
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: keep that in mind. Um, I got to tell you
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: on yesterday's broadcast on yesterday's broadcast, it is, I've been
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: laughing all, uh, all day till I heard the sad
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: news about Dolly Parton. But, uh, I got to tell you, JJ,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the Trumpster, his calls are just getting better and better
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and better. I mean, if you, if you were listening
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: yesterday at all, um, When he was talking about how
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: he was so busy over the weekend and what he
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: was doing, I was just reflecting on his call after
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: he did it yesterday in a program and today. And
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: it still makes me smile and laugh. I mean, he
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: was just— J. J. is a great actor. He really is like
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: theater of the mind. J.J. the liberal, a.k.a. J.J. the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Trumpster now, since he did have electric shock therapy. And
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: how about what he calls up getting angry at people
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: when they're getting on saying nasty things about Trump and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So now he's JJ the Trumpster
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: because of electric shock therapy. I mean, it's really clever.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's really brought a smile to my face here. Anyway,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: in a sadness today, what is this is really this
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: is unique in the sense of I'm genuinely saddened by
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the passing of Dolly Parton. I mean, I'm genuinely saddened
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: by it. And, you know, as I sit down here today,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I'm saddened by it. Isn't that strange? Somebody that I've
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: never met in person, and I've never met her in person, but...
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I'm certainly familiar with watching her on television sing and
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: listening to her music and watching her. She was just
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: such a ball of energy to me. There's this much
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I love about Dolly Parton. She was just so upbeat
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of a person, such a positive person. She was just
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: a positive person when she was performing. Dolly Parton wasn't
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: there like Bruce Springsteen and these people talking about politics
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: or how you should vote. Or any of that nonsense.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Dolly Parton was simply there as an entertainer to entertain.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: And she was positive. She was upbeat. She was energetic.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And just a terrific writer and singer. And the times
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: that I would see her on some of her performances
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: on YouTube or wherever you would see some of them.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: It was just a pleasure to watch. Now, I never
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: had the opportunity to see her in person. I was
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: talking to my one buddy Dave today, and he saw her.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: He goes to a lot of country shows, and he
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: said Dolly Parton was probably the best show. It was
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: probably the best show for him. I mean, it was
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: probably the best show that he's seen. And he sees
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of country shows. It kind of saddens me
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: because I know that she was not feeling well for
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: a period of time. And you were kind of hoping
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: that she would get back out and perform again. And maybe,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: just maybe, you'd get an opportunity to catch one of
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: her shows. So positive, so upbeat, so energetic. What a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: great entertainer. What an absolute great entertainer. Great songwriter, great performer.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: And it's sad. And yet... even though you've never met her,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: there's like a sadness that you have that you feel
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a sadness, you know, breaks your heart. You feel a sadness.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Isn't that a strange connection that you're going to have
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: to people? I mean, because you feel like you really
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: genuinely do know her just from over the years. And
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: it's just kind of sad. And it reminds you time
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: marches on. It doesn't matter how much money you have.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how important you are. We all meet
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: our maker at some point, so you better enjoy a
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: lot of your life. And she was married to that.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine her husband who stayed pretty well out
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: of the limelight, and she never got divorced, stayed married
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to him, and just was kind of impressive. So that
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: part is sad today. It is sad. Comments?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: 330-729-9977.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Almost forgot the phone number from it. I was thinking
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: about Dolly Parton. 330-729-9977. 330-729-9977. I mentioned about JJ's call
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: yesterday and the joy of it. I had another call
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: yesterday that was just really, really entertaining. A woman called me.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: She's like 85 years old. And she was just very interesting.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you know, sometimes a lot, a lot of times people say, well,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Uh, sometimes I stopped talking about, uh,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Trump and politics and stuff like that. And just enjoy
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a time. I really enjoyed my conversation with her just
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: as I enjoy my conversations with fifth Avenue. Um, even
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: though sometimes he wants to talk politics, but, uh, it
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: brings me joy just to have, um, outside of political
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: conversations with fifth Avenue. And, uh, Because I sense him
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: as a guy that's really enjoying his retirement and just
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: his life, which is kind of cool. Just the diversity, gang,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the diversity of the program. That's what I'm here to say,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the diversity of it. You're on the air.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: How you doing, Ron?
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: There he is from Fort Lauderdale. It's Frank. Some love him,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: some hate him. But we always welcome them. And I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: think economically you've been more spot on as to what's
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: going on. By the way, let me pick your brain
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: a little bit. What do you make of this latest
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: move that they're doing against Iran, if you will, with
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the monetary bomb they say they're using?
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Well, it's not going to work. And I don't believe
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: the world is facing a shortage of oil. because of
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: the Iran war, the damage to the global economy is
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: higher shipping rates, higher insurance premiums, refinery margins, higher diesel prices,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: higher electricity costs. I could go on and on.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Wait, wait, wait.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Don't forget the higher cost of government borrowing, Ron.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: And I want people to listen to what you're saying.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Because as you're talking, Frank, and a lot of people don't,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: we look at the diesel price. Now it's like if
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I see it at $ 4, I want to go fill up.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Because I see it places that it would be $ 4. 20, $ 4.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: 30.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: And some of these oil guys say, hey, the worst
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: is yet to come. Basically, they continue to say, you've
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: got about 30 million less barrels of oil a day
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: on a closed straight. That's a big hole that you're digging.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: The problem is there's a shortage of oil because of
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the lack of being able to transport it in that sense.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: But you're 100% right. We are under attack. My electric
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: bill has doubled. Gas is high. And I looked at
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: diesel the other day. I don't use it. But guess what?
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I need it for people to drive trucks. and farm
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: tractors and all that. Diesel's very important. And I think
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: it was like $ 5. 75 a gallon. I mean, if I'm
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: not mistaken, does that sound right to you, truckers out there,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: $ 5. 75 a gallon? And jet fuel, I was reading about
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: jet fuel, and that is just through the roof expensive
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: right now. I mean, it's a huge problem getting it,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and the airline's got a serious problem. Some of them
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: are even canceling some of the flights. Have you seen that?
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: No, not recently, but, you know, even if the Straits
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: of Hormuz is open, if insuring ships is too costly,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: or if the crews refuse to accept the risk, it
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: has the same effect of being closed or there being
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: an actual shortage of oil.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, if you have, what, 20 or 30 less
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: million barrels on the market a day... as we've had
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: for quite some time, you definitely, and we've been draining
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: our strategic oil reserves. Well, you've kind of been delaying
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the inevitable, wouldn't you say, as far as prices going up?
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: Sure.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: And I keep an eye on diesel because global economies
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: run on diesel. Trucks transport food and consumer goods. Farmers
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: operate machinery. Construction companies operate operate heavy equipment, and emergency generators,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: protect hospitals from power shortages. They all need diesel. And
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: when diesel prices rise, the price of everything rises with it.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Right. And you bring up a good point, the cost
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: of diesel as well as, I don't know if it's
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: different or not, the fuel that you use for shipping.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's diesel or it's a different,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: all right, shipping, big deal. And I know jet fuel
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: is different, but there's big issues in all three of
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: those arenas. just because of this nonsense that he started.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's got this, he's got this whole situation.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: He being Trump so messed up as far as the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: price of everything. And, And now remember, we're going to
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: bomb them back to the Stone Age. Everything keeps changing
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: with it. We got them on the ropes. They want
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: to negotiate a settlement. We heard that 35 times. We
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: got the 60-day ceasefire. They want to negotiate. Well, we
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: did that once. We did that twice. Then he would
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: constantly say, we're going to bomb them back to the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Stone Age. Now we're not even talking about that anymore.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Now we're talking about these economic sanctions. We're going to
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: get them this way. This is a way. This is
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: going to do them in. And I keep saying to people... Iran,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: all they have to do is survive to win. If
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: they can simply survive, then they win.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Well, Ron, I want to add more to your question
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: to me on Iran. Every vessel delayed or redirected reduces
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: available shipping capacity and increases freight rates everywhere. And insurers
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: must reprice the probability of a tanker being captured damaged
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: or destroyed, and refineries must compete for alternative supplies. Now,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: countries dependent upon Gulf energy begin building precautionary inventories, and
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: energy traders add a geopolitical premium to guess the probability
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: of a missile striking a ship or a refinery or
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: a pipeline or an export terminal, and that's a lot
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: of uncertainty there. But I also wanted to say that
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: long-term bond yields are rising in the U.S., Europe, and
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Japan because governments can't keep massive spending and they can't
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: keep borrowing without limit. And, you know, the national debt
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: is now over $ 40 trillion as of last Tuesday. Let
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: me quote one economist. He said, what we have done
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: to our grandchildren... is beyond criminal. We've condemned them to
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: a future of poverty and indebtedness. And Israel and the
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: politicians have destroyed the future of the country. Ron, the
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: yield on 30-year Treasury bonds just reached 5.3 percent, the
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: highest in 20 years. And Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: he is going to double the size of government debt
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: buybacks And yields on government debt had a big drop
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: on the news, but it worked for only one day.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: The next day, they spiked again. And yields on 10-year
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: treasuries are the main benchmark for auto loans and mortgages.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: They're not now spiking, too. We just can't keep on
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: borrowing and spending the way we're doing. Oh, 10-year treasuries
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: also have impact credit card debts. And we, American consumers,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: have the highest credit card debt in history.
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: There's not a lot of good news out there as
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: far as it goes. And I don't see any efforts, really,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: to do anything to get spending under control. And if
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: you really look at it, the issue of Social Security in, what,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: seven years? Medicare. I mean, there's some serious problems that
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: need to be dealt with and addressed as far as
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: as far as where we're going with all of this,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: and there's lack of activity on it. Do away with
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the cap and solve the problem. Infuse some money in it.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: But stop spending all of this money on all these
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: foreign countries. We simply can't afford it. The people that
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: charge both Republicans and Democrats, Frank, they don't really seem
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: to give a damn what they're doing to future generations
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: or what they're doing to us, the current generation, by
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: driving this thing so far into the ground.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, both Republican and Democrat voters keep voting
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: in these big spenders. They don't seem to care about
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: the future of the country and their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. But,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: you know, there's no way out. The country is bankrupt,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: and they just keep kicking the can down the road,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: like with the bailing out the Japanese yen.
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: You know, they're very clever. They don't want Japan to
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: sell massive amounts of treasuries to pay for oil and food.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Right, because then interest rates would go up on the treasuries.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: It was in our selfish interest to do what we
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: did to bail out Japan because they didn't want... Japan
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: has a trillion dollars in treasuries. If they start selling
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: a bunch of them off, they say the treasury rate
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: will go up and then the debt will go up
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: even more. This country, they put it in a fiscal mess.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: A fiscal mess.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Well, Ron, you're absolutely right because they didn't do it
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: because they love Japan. They did not want... Treasury yields
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: to spike higher if Japan had massive sell-offs of their treasuries.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: They want to keep spending and spending and spending and
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: have lower yields on bonds. So they can keep spending like...
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Drunken sailors.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Totally oblivious to the debts. It says oil drops as U.S.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: shifts to economic pressure on Iran, easing fears of renewed war. Well,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: guess what? We'll see how it works out and see
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: what happens with oil. All right, Frank, appreciate your insight.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I thank you for it. All right, Frank. Frank's been
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: more right than he has been wrong when he talks
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: about some of the stuff going on economically. For all
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of those Frank haters out there, maybe they should listen.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: News Radio 570 WQN, 322 in the afternoon. On News
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Radio 570 WQN, let me see here. You're on here.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: I'll meet Ebenezer Badmouth and Drunken Sailors.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Well, listen.
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: That's where it ends for me.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: You're a fan of the Drunken Sailor?
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: That's a good time. Can you say you've been at
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: the Waffle House at 3 a.m. with the Navy SEAL
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: and three strippers?
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I can. That's a good time, brother. Stand by. Back
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: with you and more in a minute. Weather and Talk
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Station 570 WKBN. Well, Heidi Ho, 325, 80 degrees. Ron
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Verp from the Kingdom of Mahoney. All right, Jake, go
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: ahead with your insight of the day.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this, you know, negativity. There's nothing that can be done. Really?
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I think people expect more to be done than what
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: is being done. I mean, when people are talking about
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the $ 40 trillion debt, listen, it's disturbing because it is
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: strapping this country. It's ridiculous.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: But you can't go through a good life saying there's
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: nothing that can be done. Okay, all right, that's a
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: defeatist attitude, just give up.
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: Okay, what do I do, close up.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: Shop and huddle in my house?
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's his point. I think his point
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: is it's sad that nothing's getting done. Something should have
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: been done long ago, and still nothing is getting done.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: You're seeing a $ 40 trillion debt continue to grow. Now
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: they're finagling to try to keep interest rates down. On
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the $ 40 trillion that they owe. But they're still adding
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: to the debt every day. And interest rates are ticking up. Well,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: you've heard this. And instead of if you owed money
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and you went from one credit card and put it
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: on another one, that doesn't solve the problem. It just
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: delays the inevitable.
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: It doesn't? Yes, you're absolutely correct. And you know about
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: compound interest, right?
• 18:42
  Speaker 9: Well, what happens?
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: So Trump came in. Now, he didn't get everything right,
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: but that's what was going to happen. Now, we're still
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: trying to figure out how we can stop it. I
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: get it. You don't like this, blah, blah, blah. And
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: the other guy got me the other day.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, wait a second. Pause for a second. I
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: applauded Elon Musk and what he was doing, where they
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: were talking almost $ 2 trillion a year in just ridiculous spending.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: But what happened to Elon Musk? I mean, he had
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: the technology and the people, and they destroyed the man. They,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: being the Democrat Party, did everything they could do from
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: terrorizing his customers, firebombing his dealerships, calling him all kinds
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: of names.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: Just regular people's cars, destroying regular people's cars.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: So he had to leave his mission to go back
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: and address his company. And the Democrats view that as
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: a great victory. And I'm sure some Republicans, too, viewed
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: it as a great victory because he's gone. And I
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: thought to myself, you're not going to see anybody else
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: ever deal with this wasteful spending and expose it like
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: he was doing. And I bet you plenty of it
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: is still going on to this day. You've got a
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: military budget. They can't even complete an audit. That's ridiculous.
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: And it's everywhere, and it's everything. However, this is the
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: thing that, I don't know, that I'm looking at and saying, wow,
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: that lady in Minnesota went to jail, and she's going
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: to be there for 40 years.
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Because of the fraud.
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: The fraud that the establishment said didn't exist. Oh, waste, fraud,
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: and abuse, that doesn't amount to anything. Oh, what did
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: Ebenezer say one time? Oh, it doesn't amount to a
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: tinker's dam.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:39
  Speaker 9: Yes, it does.
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: That's why we're in the position we're in, because nobody
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: cares about it except Donald Trump. And what I'm saying
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: is it's still happening every day. Somebody's going to jail
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: for fraud, for stealing from the U.S. taxpayers. It's happening.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: It never happened in my life. It's happening now. Is
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: it as fast as we want?
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: No.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: Is it as much as we want? Do we want
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: them under the jail? Yes. But it's happening now.
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: It never happened before.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Well, how about this when you're talking about oddities? I
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: was reading this this morning. The Department of Homeland Security
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: is calling out Boston Democrat Mayor, this Michelle Wu. She's
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the mayor in Boston. They're saying she's unhinged her unhinged
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: effort to dissuade business owners from from leasing to the U.S.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the city. equating to hunting
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: down private property owners. This is the mayor of Boston.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: And I'm reading this thinking, is this person even an American?
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can't figure this out. After Boston banned
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: ICE vehicles from using city-owned parking lots to stage operations...
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: ICE issued a notice seeking to rent hundreds of parking
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: spaces in the city for five years. In response, Wu
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: and outspoken opponents of President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement agenda
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: issued an open letter to parking garages and lot owners
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: shot Boston in which she revealed the city had submitted
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: a freedom of information request for any local response to ICE.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Stand by. I want to finish this with you. Hang
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: on a second. I'll come back to you in a minute.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Caught us in line. Stand by. Ron Verb, Tuesday afternoon
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: from the Kingdom of Mahoney. News Radio 570 WKVN.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Ron is set at $ 1. 1 million for a woman charged
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: in the fatal stabbing of a 21-year-old man in Toledo
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: on Saturday. 46-year-old Sophia Harris is accused of killing Tyler
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: McKee near Scott High School. McKee later died at the hospital.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: There has been no word on a motive. The trial
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: is underway for a man accused of shooting his co-workers
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: at a new Albany warehouse. Bruce Foster III is pleading
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: not guilty by reason of insanity to four counts of
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: aggravated murder and other charges in connection with the 2025
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: attack that killed two people and injured four others. All
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: charges against a former Cincinnati City Council member are being
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: dismissed after being pardoned by President Trump last year.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: P.J.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Sittenfeld had been sentenced to 16 months in prison on
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: charges of bribery and attempted extortion in 2022. In addition,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: the $ 40, 000 fine he paid must be returned.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I'm Andy Betts. Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: So get a load of this nut job. I just
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: want to pass this along to Jake here. So you
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: have this Wu, who's the mayor of Boston, and she
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: banned ICE vehicles from using any city-owned parking lots to
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: stage operations. ICE issued a notice seeking to rent hundreds
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: of parking spaces in the city for five years. In response, Wu,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: an outspoken opponent of Trump, In his immigration enforcement agenda,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: issued an open letter to parking garages and lot owners
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: throughout Boston, which she revealed the city had submitted a
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: freedom of information request for any local response to ICE.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: In other words, for any local business who agreed to this,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: she put in a Freedom of Information Act. DHS fired
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: back in an ex post writing that these actions by
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Sanctuary Mayor Michelle Wu are unhinged. She knows she has
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: no authority to block us from using private property, so
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: she's hunting down private property owners and threatening them for
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: working with ICE because she'd rather intimidate law-abiding Bostonians than
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: get criminal aliens off the streets, wrote DHS. ICE issued
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: a source-sought notice last month for surge parking in 14
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: cities across the country. The notice revealed ICE was seeking
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: $ 249, 000 continuous parking spaces in Boston. In response, Wu issued
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: an official appeal from the city of Boston for garage
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: and lot owners to reject ICE staging facilities. She wrote
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: that were ICE to procure such resources, it would constitute
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: an unprovoked and unwarranted escalation, creating potentially significant risk to
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: the public safety and halting economic activity across our region.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: She boasted that she joined together with six other cities
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: across greater Boston and signed executive orders prohibiting ICE from
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: staging its operations on municipal property and parking lots. Today,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I ask you to join us. Reject any proposition by
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: ICE to facilitate an attack on the people of Boston.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Wu also noted that the same day the city submitted
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: a FOIA request for any local responses to ICE. She
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: told the garage and lot owners, we will keep you
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: updated as we push for a response, adding, thank you
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: again for your partnership. So this is the mayor of Boston.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I read this article and thought, is this woman even
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: an American? I mean, that was my initial thing. You
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: want to do whatever you can do to prevent ICE
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: from going after people that are in this country illegally,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: including people that are in here and have committed criminal
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: activities that are illegal. You're more concerned about them than people.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: That are legally running their parking spaces to ice to
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: enforce the law. It's just you read this stuff. The
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Democrats have just become so damn nutty. I mean, it
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: is nutty. I mean, this idea of, well, Medicare for all. Well,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: wait a minute. You pay into Medicare all your life
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: and you've got to be 65 before you can get it.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: And let's be realistic. Financially, it's not in the best
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: shape either. But they all want to say Medicare for all. Well,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: how are you supposed to pay for all of that
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: since it's Medicare for all? You no longer have to
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: make it to 65. You no longer pay– you and
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: your employer pay into Medicare all your working life. Now
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: we just want to give it to everybody. I mean
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: all the Democrats want is more handouts to everything. Keep
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: the illegal people here. Give them handouts. Let's give Medicare
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: for all. They are just such– It's such a weird
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: party anymore. I don't know how, even if you despise Trump,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you could vote for any Democrat
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: based on the platform that they're running on at all.
• 27:16
  Speaker 10: At all.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: And to think Gavin Newsom's a disaster as a governor,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: and to think for president, he's a disaster. And AOC
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: is a nitwit to be president. I mean, like I say,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: I look at Ron DeSantis. He's intelligent. He's well-read. His
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: state is doing well. He runs a great state. I
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: would love to see him become president. But I think
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: he's got the credentials for it. Go ahead.
• 27:41
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: No, you're making my point exactly. And when somebody says
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: both of these Republicans and Democrats, that's true, except you've
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: got to work with something. So if 50% of the
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: Republicans are okay and the rest are John Spoon and
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: Mitch McConnell, you've got to deal with them because you
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: can't find 10% of Democrats that are even thinking straight.
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: We have to pick the pothead.
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: Stroke victim, John Fetterman, to be the standard bearer of
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: American values in the Democratic Party. Can you imagine that
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: three years ago? Can you imagine 10 years ago saying, well,
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: you know what? My son says he's a girl now,
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: so we're going to cut his thing off and call
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: him Jill. And what are you talking about? So with
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: this whole fight, I know some people are only concerned
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: about bonds or money or yields or whatever. That's fine.
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: That's your deal. But I have children, and I have
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: to be concerned about the whole thing.
• 28:48
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: I can't.
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: I can't have this Democrat Party doing what they're doing.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, there's no way I could. I couldn't vote
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: for Sherrod Brown. Sherrod Brown's running ads like he was
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: never a senator. He's been around forever and supported all
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: of this nonsense. He's running ads like he's a newcomer, like, hey,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: if I get elected, I'm going to do this. You've
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: been there forever. I know what you've done, and it
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: was a disaster. Thank you, Jake. You're on the air.
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: I am disgusted.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: How can you take.
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: A quarterback....
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: That has not won any games, and they booed the thing,
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: and they're going to start him on the opening day
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: of the Browns games.
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: What do you think?
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know. What do I think? I think it's
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: damn disappointing is what I think.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: And I was looking. The Guardians won last night, right? Yeah,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: they're doing, oh, this is the run they better do.
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: This is good, you know?
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: I think they're only, what, two and a half games out?
• 29:49
  Speaker 13: Two and a half games out.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: And last night I was listening as I was laying
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: in the rack. I was listening to the Guardians game.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: And I made it to the final, but then.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I didn't make it to the postgame show because it
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: was like lights out. It was pretty late, wasn't it? Yes,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: but at least they won, and they're two and a
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: half games out. So they're on the comeback trail, and
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: let's hope they continue to do that. I can't even
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: think about the Browns right now, other than how disappointing
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: that is.
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: I waited. I waited.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I tried to call three times.
• 30:27
  Speaker 13: I was on hold, but I guess that.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Everybody, their frustration. Nobody likes it. It's frustrating. So I'm hoping,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: let's see, YSU has a game Thursday. Thursday? I'm hoping
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: for a good football season from YSU. Hard to imagine
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: it's already football season. I mean, it's high school and
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: YSU football. It's already football season. And I'm looking, thinking,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: where did summer go? And when the Canfield Fair is
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: here in the beginning of September, that's the official end
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: in my neck of the woods. All right. Do you
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: think Ohio State will be good this year? Usually.
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Maybe.
• 31:11
  Speaker 9: Have a good day, buddy.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's hard to predict on any of
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: that stuff. You're on air.
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: Hey, good afternoon.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Good afternoon to you, too.
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: Hey, what are you doing? Some construction around you or something, huh?
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Construction around me? We got construction going on everywhere around me.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't care where you go on 680.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Everything's a nightmare as far as construction. The only good
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: news I can report is they finally got that bridge
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: open on 224 before the fair got here. That had
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: been closed for a couple of years when they were closed.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: redoing the bridge so that's that's finally done but there's
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: detours and i don't care if it's a freeway or
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: locally all over the place it's a it's a pain
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: in the.
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: Arse well think about it well we won't be here
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: for the 20 more years we'll be doing it.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Again well there you go there you.
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: Go i don't know about this it's when i talk
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: to younger people of course that's a lot.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: But well define a younger person they don't.
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: Know what to think anymore You got one on one
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: side saying no, the other one on the other side
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: saying we're trying to help you. And then neither one
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: of them have got a way to help the people
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: out without having to spend so damn much money doing it.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Well, isn't that what the problem is? Listen, I think
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: it's a problem of Democrats and Republicans. I mean, we're
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: $ 40 trillion and growing in debt, and Trump's growing in
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: debt at astronomical amounts right now. And it's like, well,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: wait a minute. Exactly when are you going to... work
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: on spending less money and getting rid of this burden
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: you're putting on all of us now as far as
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: how many of our tax dollars go to paying the
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: interest on it alone. I don't see any desire from
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: any of these people in politics to do a single
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: damn thing about it other than stay the course, which
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: is a nightmare.
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: You're right. It's a total nightmare. We need to vote
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: the Democrats out. We need to vote the Republicans out. But,
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: I mean, in this last newscast, did you hear where
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: Trump said it was okay to let this guy out
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: of jail and give him back his money that he
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: had to pay on a fine? What kind of nonsense
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: is that?
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I missed it.
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: But.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, it's if you're asking me
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: once again, I tell you, I will vote for Republicans
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: over Democrats. The Democrats agenda is just too crazy for me.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, I do not go along with this. We
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: can't tell you what a woman is. I don't go
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: along with the transgender stuff. I don't go along with
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: their social agenda at all. I don't go along with
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: their immigration standard at all. I don't I don't agree
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: with them on law enforcement. I nice. I don't agree
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: with him on anything, really. I mean, Medicare for all.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I don't buy any of the crap that they're peddling.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: And so I can't vote for any. Democrats on the scene.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: So I will vote for Republicans, even if they're the
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: lesser two evils, which, if I think about it, has
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: been how I voted most of my life. Never enthusiastically
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: for anyone, with the exception of Ross Perot and Donald Trump.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: But outside of that, and maybe Reagan, I should say,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: outside of that, I haven't enthusiastically voted. It's usually the
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: lesser two evils, for the most part.
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: That's a crying shame, ain't it?
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: You too.
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: Vote for the lesser of the two evils. But if
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: you take a look at it, as the conversations I've
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: had with other people, one is spending so much money,
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: we'll never get out of debt by doing what they
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: do with the tax breaks and everything else. And then
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: when they come right down to it, they turn right
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: around and they keep adding more and more to it.
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: And the other side, they want to do things, but
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: you don't see Trump trying to build anything that's in
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: the infrastructure in which he claims he would make Eisenhower
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: blush if he were to do it when Biden wanted
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: to do it.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I get... It is wearing thin on me, some
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: of the just bullcrap that Trump spews. First of all,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear his name on everything. I mean,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: I get tired of that. But some of the... Some
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: of the stuff he says, you notice that a lot
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: of these countries aren't taking them very serious anymore. They're
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: not taking them too serious at all, just based on
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: this situation in Iran. We're going to do this. Well,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: then we don't do that. We're going to bomb them
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: back to the Stone Age. Well, then we stop that.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Now we're doing this economic time bomb. Well, I think
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: the economic time bomb's going off in the USA, too.
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: Well, you're right about that. But that economic time bomb
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: that he's talking about, was already implemented by three or
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: four presidents ago. And now he says he's going to
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: do more. How much more are you going to do?
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: That country don't care.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: It seemed to me that that bunker buster that he
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: dropped did the job. And that should have been the
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: end of it. It did the job. Keep this, the, the, the,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: the straight was open. Keep that agreement that Obama negotiated,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: because some of the stuff that you would see with the,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: that he wanted to negotiate the Trump deal, I thought
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: was a worse deal than what Obama negotiated.
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: Well, I'm glad to hear you say that, because I
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: felt the same way. But what gets me is, everybody's
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: complaining about the high prices, and they're trying to blame
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: Iran for the whole thing. It all went back to
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: his tariffs, and now the dollar, the measure of the
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: dollar bill throughout the world economy is dropping fast and hard.
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: China's over there going, yeah, keep it up, baby. Keep
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: it up, baby. By the time you get done, I'll
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: have the whole world talking to me.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Well, he's in a pissing match now with Canada, of
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: all places. I mean, I don't know about it. We
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: get a lot of oil from Canada, and we get
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of lumber out of Canada.
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: And a lot of other things.
• 37:18
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: And it's like, this is the country we should be...
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: I don't understand. I get it if you're going after
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: China or Vietnam or India, these slave wage nation countries,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: but Canada?
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: It amazes me. Canada's A1. They're not going to do that.
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: They're not going to put all the people. They want
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: to keep their people working, so they keep them in
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: the factories. Here in the United States, we've got to
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: have it so we can keep on going. If you
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: turn around and look at all these other countries... They're managing,
• 37:51
  Speaker 7: but they've changed their whole economic structure to stay away
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: from Trump and the United States, and it's only going
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: to hurt us in the end. It's going to take
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: us 30, 40 years to get back on track again
• 38:03
  Speaker 7: for people in these countries to trust us.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's going to be the case
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: or not. It's just a... In all seriousness, I look
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: around as an American. Forget Democrat or Republican. I can't
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: vote for any of the wacky Democrat socialists. But if
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: you're asking me, are things a mess? The answer to
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: that is absolutely yes. And do I think many of
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: these people that are making the decisions are totally oblivious
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: to the situation that they put us all in as Americans?
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: I think that they... They just stay the course, continue to,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: they don't cut spending. And at what point do they say, okay,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: well now we've got to cut it or do something drastic.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Now we'll go after everybody on Social Security or we'll
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: go after everything on Medicare. And there are going to
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: be a lot of pissed off people, and justifiably so,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: when that happens with these morons.
• 38:57
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, it surprises me is that the Supreme
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: Court is allowed to make up any ruling it wants.
• 39:05
  Speaker 7: As long as it goes along with Trump.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know about that.
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: There's so many different things out there, like this voting thing.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: They roll against Trump, too. Here's my thing with the
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court. This is where I disagree with you. See,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: he wins some and he loses some. And he's lost
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: some and he wins some. I just want a Supreme
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Court that sits there and rules on the constitutionality of it.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: And I think in general, you have that. In general,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't have an active Supreme Court when they make
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: these rulings. Do you want me to lose faith in
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: the voting system? Do you think I sit and say, oh,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: this is a great idea. Let's mail everybody out a ballot.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: They don't have to request it like they do in
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Colorado and California. So the person could be dead. They
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: could have moved. You don't know who's voting it. I mean,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I think that's just a system open to fraud. And
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: you're right in this idea to say, let's secure our
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: mail in vote voting system. I'm for that because as
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: a voter, I want to make sure my vote counts
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: and don't make me lose faith. in my voting system
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: because I'm losing more and more faith in the court
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: system because it's becoming too political.
• 40:18
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, I just talked to the voting people
• 40:23
  Speaker 7: here in Trumbull County, and I asked them about it
• 40:26
  Speaker 7: because I went for my mail-in ballot, and I come back,
• 40:31
  Speaker 7: and I'm getting this letter stating They want us to
• 40:34
  Speaker 7: mail in a ballot when I already did it through
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: you guys.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Hang on.
• 40:38
  Speaker 8: Hang on.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Stand by. Let me do my break. I'll come back
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: to you. Ron Furb from the kingdom of Mahoning on
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: News Radio 570 WKBN at 352. I heart radio. 570 WKBN. Okay,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: let me go back to him for a second. I'm
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: always intrigued by you. And I can't explain, and I
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: don't know that. How would you define yourself? Would you
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: define your, I know you're an American, would you be
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: more conservative or liberal?
• 41:07
  Speaker 7: See, that's a hard question. Liberal, if it's going to
• 41:10
  Speaker 7: help out people in the future. Conservative, when it looks
• 41:15
  Speaker 7: like you're going to spend money on something that is
• 41:20
  Speaker 7: stupid and or in the end won't really do the
• 41:24
  Speaker 7: job that it was supposed to do.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, so let me go back on that. So you're
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: not a liberal that says there aren't people that don't
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: need a good kick in the ass and realize they're
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: in a great country to do something with their life.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: You're not the liberal guy that thinks just because you
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: don't put any effort forth, we should take care of
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: you because you're lazy, do you?
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: No.
• 41:46
  Speaker 8: No.
• 41:47
  Speaker 7: I'm not one of them. I wouldn't be where I'm
• 41:50
  Speaker 7: at today.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, for example, when I think of a liberal thing,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: here would be an example. Once somebody has lost all
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: of their assets, and unfortunately they're in a nursing home,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: that's when Medicaid steps in to cover that bill because
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: they don't have anything left. Many people would say that's
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: a liberal program, but in essence, what other options are there?
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: You follow me? So you would be for something like that,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: but you wouldn't be for saying to some 25-year-old kid
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: that's of work age that doesn't have any problems, we're
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: going to give you health care and sit at home
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: and play video games. You don't buy into that crap, correct?
• 42:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I agree with you 100%, but Medicaid's kind of
• 42:32
  Speaker 7: a little of a trick there, if I understand it
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: at all, which is confusing to me at times. You
• 42:39
  Speaker 7: go on Medicaid before you go on Social Security.
• 42:42
  Speaker 9: No, you don't.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: No, you don't. No, you do not. You know, usually,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: usually you go on, you're on Social Security. Well, wait
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: a minute. You're on private, your employer's insurance till you
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: reach Medicare age. You're not on Medicaid. Medicaid's for poor people.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: And it's often abused. I mean, what I'm saying to
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: you is I don't picture you as a liberal that
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: thinks just because you're lazy or don't want to do
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: anything that we should cover you with health care because
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: you won't get off your ass and go get a
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: job like the rest of us. Is that a fair
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: assessment of you?
• 43:15
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 43:16
  Speaker 7: And you know what I tell them kind of people
• 43:17
  Speaker 7: that sit there and complain and piss and moan and
• 43:20
  Speaker 7: don't want to do anything but collect pay? Wait till
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: you reach the age that you can finally go on
• 43:29
  Speaker 7: Social Security and Medicare fully. And guess what? You're not
• 43:34
  Speaker 7: going to have anything. You're still going to be needing help.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Because you haven't put any effort forth. All right, stand
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: by for me. Stand by. Just hang in there for
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: a minute. I'm going to get to know this guy.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: And I'll get to more of your calls in a bit.
• 43:46

• 44:25
  Speaker 1: It's true.
• 44:26
  Speaker 10: Whether it's basement moisture, flooding, or bowing walls, do yourself
• 44:30
  Speaker 10: a favor and call a Groundworks company.

• 44:52
  Speaker 15: is 570 WKBN Youngstown, an iHeartRadio station guaranteed human.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: This is a Fox News alert.
• 45:06
  Speaker 16: Shockwaves across America. I'm Lisa Brady. The tributes only just
• 45:17
  Speaker 16: beginning for Dolly Parton. Her family says the legendary entertainer
• 45:20
  Speaker 16: died peacefully today in Nashville.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: She was 80. I'm really shocked.
• 45:25
  Speaker 8: And to me, it feels like the death of Elvis Presley.
• 45:29
  Speaker 9: It really does.
• 45:30
  Speaker 16: Singer-songwriter Don McLean telling Fox, Parton was tough as nails
• 45:33
  Speaker 16: with a lot of class and worked hard.
• 45:35
  Speaker 8: She valued the opportunity she was getting.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Because she grew up with very bleak horizons.
• 45:43
  Speaker 16: Parton was the fourth of 12 children growing up in
• 45:46
  Speaker 16: a one-room cabin. She started writing songs in grade school
• 45:49
  Speaker 16: and left for Nashville the day after graduating from high school.
• 45:56
  Speaker 17: Parton's first shot at stardom came when she joined the
• 45:58
  Speaker 17: Porter Wagoner Show in 1967.
• 46:02
  Speaker 18: I was lucky that I got a chance to be
• 46:04
  Speaker 18: that exposed to that many people at one time, and
• 46:07
  Speaker 18: that was really what kind of shot me up there
• 46:10
  Speaker 18: and got me a good grip.
• 46:12
  Speaker 17: While on the show, Parton decided to pursue her career
• 46:15
  Speaker 17: as a solo artist. And in 1971, debuted her first
• 46:19
  Speaker 17: number one solo hit, Joshua, followed by other chart toppers
• 46:23
  Speaker 17: like Love is Like a Butterfly, I Will Always Love You,
• 46:26
  Speaker 17: and the legendary Jolene.
• 46:28
  Speaker 16: Fox's Alexis McAdams, Parton's husband of nearly 59 years, Carl Dean,
• 46:33
  Speaker 16: died last year. President Trump is ordering flags lowered for

• 48:25
  Speaker 1: This report is sponsored by Staples. All right, it's officially the... Now,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Ron Verb. On News Radio 570, WKBN. Good afternoon. 4.05
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: in the afternoon. Lovely looking Tuesday afternoon. It's 81 degrees.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: So I'm just trying to get a read on this
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: guy who calls. And I tell you why, because I'm
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: intrigued by his voice and all that kind of stuff.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: So I established that you're not a flaming liberal and
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: you're a common sense American. And more I would say
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: you're more conservative than you are liberal. In other words,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: we shouldn't be given health care out to some 25.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: There's plenty of people that are lazy and need a
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: kick in the ass to go to work as you did.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: And but there are some people that do need assistance
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: when all your money's gone and you still got to
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: stay in a nursing home because of your health. That's
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: what we talked to before we got any further in
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: our discussion. Now, let me go further with you. In
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: your lifetime, would you say most of the time you voted,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: you voted for the lesser two evils, that it wasn't
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: really enthusiasm to vote for president over the years and senator?
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: more congressmen even?
• 49:41
  Speaker 7: Well, that's a tough question. Now that you're asking me that,
• 49:46
  Speaker 7: I'm beginning to go into the recesses of my feeble mind.
• 49:52
  Speaker 7: But I can remember I voted for Reagan the first
• 49:54
  Speaker 7: time but not the second time for what he wanted
• 49:56
  Speaker 7: to do with the military and Social Security and Medicare.
• 49:59
  Speaker 7: He thought that was a handout. So I didn't vote
• 50:01
  Speaker 7: for him the second time. When Bush Sr. went in,
• 50:04
  Speaker 7: I voted for him. But he didn't make it because
• 50:07
  Speaker 7: of Clinton's But Clinton somehow did a bunch of things,
• 50:10
  Speaker 7: and the economy came back up. There was so much
• 50:13
  Speaker 7: involved there.
• 50:14
  Speaker 9: Well, then, it.
• 50:17
  Speaker 7: Just amazes me that there are times I've had to vote.
• 50:20
  Speaker 7: I voted Republican, and then there were other times I
• 50:23
  Speaker 7: voted for the lesser of two evils because it was
• 50:26
  Speaker 7: not going the way that was going to help out
• 50:28
  Speaker 7: the American people.
• 50:29
  Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: In other words, you would vote for who you thought
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: was the best, the choice that made the most sense
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: to you as far as America first.
• 50:42
  Speaker 7: Yes. I'm an open-minded person. I'm a free thinker.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 50:48
  Speaker 7: And I look to see what's going on and which
• 50:50
  Speaker 7: way this guy or this woman represented herself and how
• 50:54
  Speaker 7: she talked or he talked. And then I decided from
• 50:57
  Speaker 7: there and how their actions were when they were in
• 51:02
  Speaker 7: in doing what they're doing. And I just, to get
• 51:05
  Speaker 7: the political, you're bidding a job. You put your name
• 51:10
  Speaker 7: out there, I'd like to have this position. Actually, you're
• 51:13
  Speaker 7: trying to fill out a bid. So to get the
• 51:16
  Speaker 7: most qualified, sometimes you just don't get the most qualified.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: Right, or you get people that are usually fib to
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: try to get you to vote for them, or very
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: liberal people try to act like they're more moderate so
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: that they can get elected, then they go back to
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: being liberal. Like, for example, when you see the Democrats
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: pushing Gavin Newsom or AOC for presidents, like I say,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom is a disaster as governor, and AOC's a nitwit.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, do you view it the same way? I mean,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: I can't see that... That's not even a choice to me.
• 51:52
  Speaker 7: Well, this is my thing on Gavin Newsom. The state
• 51:57
  Speaker 7: of California alone, if on its own self has a
• 52:04
  Speaker 7: GDP bigger than the whole, almost bigger than any other state,
• 52:09
  Speaker 7: any bunch of states, In the United States.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but they got the... There's just going on.
• 52:14
  Speaker 7: You can't get that way without leadership of some sort
• 52:17
  Speaker 7: from the government.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: Right, but look at the disaster it's in. Look at
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: the taxes. Look at the... Look at the... projects that
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: aren't finished, and the money that's spent. I mean, if
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: you want to look at it from that standpoint, it
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: is an absolute disaster. I mean, I would just say this.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: Compare Florida to California, and you'll see what I think
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: is sad is a guy like DeSantis' term limited out.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: I think he's a great governor. I think he'd make
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: a great president. I'd enthusiastically vote for DeSantis. You can't
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: say that about Gavin Newsom. I mean, his state, people
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: are leaving, the taxes are high, you've got all these
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: projects that aren't finished, you've got all the fraud that's
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: going on, and basically he's a snake oil salesman. He'll
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: tell you whatever you want to hear to get elected.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: He stands for nothing. He thinks he should be elected
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: because he thinks he's a pretty boy, and AOC thinks
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: she should get elected because you want to have sex
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: with her. That's what she thinks. I'm telling you, that's how.
• 53:20
  Speaker 7: If you take a look at the state of California
• 53:22
  Speaker 7: with all the earthly disasters, the fires and the rains
• 53:26
  Speaker 7: and everything else, a lot of money had to be
• 53:29
  Speaker 7: diverted to clean this up. So the money he has
• 53:32
  Speaker 7: allocated and set aside, or the government state of California
• 53:37
  Speaker 7: set aside to get these projects done, had to be
• 53:39
  Speaker 7: either stopped so that they could take that money to
• 53:43
  Speaker 7: help rebuild the state of California. This is parts that
• 53:46
  Speaker 7: you don't and a lot of people don't know and realize.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, I know this much. It would be a cold
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: day in hell before I would vote for Gavin Newsom.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: I would be shocked if it almost sounds like you're
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: defending him and you would consider voting for him. Under
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: no circumstances would I ever vote for that lion conniving nitwit.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, Ron DeSantis, there's no question about it. Rubio's
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: somewhat impressive with what he's doing, but... And listen, I'm
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: not totally disappointed in Trump. He's disappointed in me lately,
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: but he did secure the border. He was getting it
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: and still continues to get a lot of people out
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: of here. He's done a lot of things that I
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: agree with. He's got a big mess he had to
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: clean up and a lot of the inflation. But I
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: don't let him off the hook. I mean, you know,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: as far as he gave out a lot of checks
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: during COVID, and I've been disappointed in him lately. But
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: we shall see what the outcome of this is. We
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: shall see. For example, the old story is they said
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: when it came time to kill Osama bin Laden to Obama,
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: they said, well, this could go. Joe Biden advised against it,
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: against killing Osama bin Laden to Obama. And he said,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: you could cost you your presidency. And Obama said, doesn't matter.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: We're going to do it anyway. And so there's something
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: positive you could say about Obama, and some people are
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: saying the same thing about Trump. This could cost Trump
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: his presidency and his legacy, but Trump feels that this
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: is so necessary to do that he's willing to risk
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: it for that and for the betterment of the world,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: I guess. We shall see. We shall see what the
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: outcome of that is. I don't happen to fall in
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: that camp, but I could be wrong.
• 55:35
  Speaker 7: If you take a look at what's going on, He
• 55:39
  Speaker 7: went in there, bought them, and then Trump kept going
• 55:41
  Speaker 7: after them. The 11th most powerful military in the world.
• 55:46
  Speaker 9: In the world.
• 55:47
  Speaker 7: Do you think these people are just sitting back and
• 55:49
  Speaker 7: they don't care? But he had no plans. This is
• 55:54
  Speaker 7: why we're having, this is why we've lost, I think
• 55:57
  Speaker 7: it was what, 10? 11 military bases over in the
• 56:00
  Speaker 7: Middle East? Because he didn't have the foresight or listen
• 56:04
  Speaker 7: to anybody to tell him, we need to protect those places.
• 56:08
  Speaker 7: And they got bombed and hundreds of people got hurt.
• 56:13
  Speaker 7: I imagine that I couldn't even tell you how many
• 56:15
  Speaker 7: have died because the numbers aren't out there because he's
• 56:18
  Speaker 7: not letting you see it.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: Are you disappointed in Trump currently?
• 56:27
  Speaker 7: With all due respect, I voted for him the first time.
• 56:31
  Speaker 7: Halfway through that, his first term of president, I said,
• 56:35
  Speaker 7: what in the hell is this guy doing? He's not
• 56:38
  Speaker 7: helping America out. He's only helping the rich and himself.
• 56:42
  Speaker 7: So when it came down to this second time, I
• 56:44
  Speaker 7: just sat back and watched how everything started folding up
• 56:48
  Speaker 7: around him. He always imagined himself when he went to
• 56:52
  Speaker 7: military school because his dad sent him there so that
• 56:54
  Speaker 7: he could get some sort of sense of responsibility and
• 56:58
  Speaker 7: attitude in how to be. He threw his whole thing,
• 57:02
  Speaker 7: even when you talk to the classmates that have been interviewed,
• 57:04
  Speaker 7: They said he thought he should have been a captain
• 57:06
  Speaker 7: for everything. And when you listen to his conversations about
• 57:10
  Speaker 7: Putin and other communist countries, he admired them because those
• 57:17
  Speaker 7: people had control. What he didn't realize is they didn't.
• 57:22
  Speaker 7: They still had people they had to go to to
• 57:25
  Speaker 7: get what they wanted done, and they didn't always get
• 57:28
  Speaker 7: what they wanted.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: So I would assume, based on what you said, you
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: voted for Biden a second time.
• 57:34
  Speaker 9: I would have, yes.
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: All right, but you didn't, but you would have.
• 57:40
  Speaker 7: Yes, you're correct.
• 57:42
  Speaker 14: All right.
• 57:42
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, Biden screwed up. He kept letting these
• 57:48
  Speaker 7: people come in the country, and he kept saying, time
• 57:51
  Speaker 7: and time again through his four years, I've got to
• 57:53
  Speaker 7: get Congress to work together. They've got to work together.
• 57:58
  Speaker 7: Many a time he kept saying that. And then when
• 58:00
  Speaker 7: the time came when he finally had them almost work together...
• 58:04
  Speaker 7: And they were going to do something about it with
• 58:05
  Speaker 7: all the money and people and resources that Biden put
• 58:09
  Speaker 7: on the border and all around. He turned right around
• 58:12
  Speaker 7: and says, no, no, no, you can't do that. I've
• 58:13
  Speaker 7: got to have something to bitch about. So they shut
• 58:16
  Speaker 7: it down. They were ready to sign it and send
• 58:18
  Speaker 7: it to Biden.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: You don't sit back and say Trump accomplished that without
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: doing any of that stuff. None of that stuff was
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: really necessary. Trump closed the border and started getting people
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: out of here, and he didn't need to do any
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: of that stuff. It didn't require any of that nonsense
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: at all. It was really an attitude thing. All right,
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: I'll get to know you better next time. But I'm
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: getting there. I'm getting there. You're a walking contradiction, partly
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: truth and partly fiction. You're conservative and yet you're liberal.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: But I'm going to figure you out. I'm going to
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: do some psychological analysis. I'm writing things down here from
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: my psychology classes in college. I'm doing a diagnosis of you.
• 58:58
  Speaker 7: I got one more thing I'd like to say.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, go ahead, please.
• 59:01
  Speaker 7: They put in that mail-in ballot thing, and he's fighting that.
• 59:04
  Speaker 7: That's wrong. It should be in the Constitution.
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: No.
• 59:09
  Speaker 7: The state should have to run it, but even if
• 59:11
  Speaker 7: it's federal, even if it's federal, it didn't have any distinction,
• 59:15
  Speaker 7: federal or state. But I sent for my ballot like
• 59:18
  Speaker 7: I normally do, and I got my paperwork and sent
• 59:22
  Speaker 7: it all in, got all that nice, pretty stuff done.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Well, Ohio's a pretty.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: You're in Ohio. Ohio runs our elections pretty good. He's
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: concerned about all these other states with mail-in ballots, like
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: I say, that are mailing out ballots to everybody, even
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: if you don't request it, and the fraud that goes
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: on there. I've got to pause. I appreciate it.
• 59:41
  Speaker 7: Let me finish this part.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: I don't really.
• 59:43
  Speaker 7: Which way I'm going.
• 59:45
  Speaker 9: Which way are you going?
• 59:45
  Speaker 7: It'll only make your write-up about me crazy.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: I've already done this.
• 59:50
  Speaker 7: I went to the state, did everything the state wanted
• 59:52
  Speaker 7: me to do, and then I get letters in the
• 59:54
  Speaker 7: mail like I have for the past elections. We sign
• 59:59
  Speaker 7: up for mail-in ballot. So when I call the voting
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 7: place down here and warn, they come back and say, yeah.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 7: They stated that the state sends them out, and both
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 7: parties are sending them out. She says, I don't know why.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 7: It's a waste.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: I don't understand that at all. Usually you request it.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: Both parties don't send them out. The ballot has to
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: be sent out by the Board of Elections. All right.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: Thanks for your call. You're on the air.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 8: Hello.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 4: Hello there.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: Hello. How are you doing? I'm deeply saddened by the
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: passing of Dolly Parton.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I heard that on the radio earlier today. I
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: just tuned in to you, but I was... She was...
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: You have to give people like that, because you don't
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: know how you would react. I grew up in an average.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: You know, average kid in an average household, but she
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: grew up in poverty. And, you know, you have to
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: give people credit that literally pulled themselves up by their
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 4: bootstraps and say, you know, I'm not going to let
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: this define me. And, you know, there's numerous instances of
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: of athletes and other people that I've always admired in
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: my life that, that, uh, came like, you know, came
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: up from, um, you know, being disadvantaged, so to speak.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 4: And she just, uh, she was a beautiful woman inside
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: and out. She was, uh, an animal lover. She, she
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 4: was a very, she donated a lot of her money
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: and her time, uh, true. You know, when you look
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 4: at the word Patriot, she was a true Patriot and
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: a true, um, uh, a wonderful woman.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: And, um, well, here's what I, here's what I, I mean, uh,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: Like I said when I started, it's odd that somebody is...
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: Dolly Parton's passing. Here's somebody that I've never met in
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: person and really didn't know other than hearing her music
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: or seeing her... I never saw her in concert, but
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: seeing her on TV and stuff on YouTube and that
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff, or her appearances on some of the shows.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: But Dolly Parton was always upbeat. I mean, she wasn't political.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: She was upbeat. She was always in a good mood.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: She always was there to... She wasn't like Springsteen trying
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: to preach politics. She was just there to entertain you
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: and be in a great mood and an upbeat mood
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: and made you feel better and good about life and
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And it's like her passing is
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: like really, really sad. And no controversy as far as
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: her and her husband over the years. I mean, everybody
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: looked at how like the illusion of her and Kenny Rogers.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: And I think her and Kenny Rogers were very close friends,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: but they were they were never tied together romantically. And
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: she was never tied together romantically with anyone but her husband.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: And I don't know. There's just something. What a great entertainer.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: What a great.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 4: And it's, you know, that, um, you know, I've only,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: there's only been a few moments in time other than
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 4: a family or a few friends that I've, um, I've actually, um,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 4: moved me, you know, when I, when I, when I
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: lost him, I, other than that, and Roberto Clemente was
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: one person.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 8: Um, but, um, uh, it's, um, you know, it, I, today, yeah,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 8: cause I was, you know, today was, you know, a
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 8: pretty good day.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: You know, I've been doing some work around the house
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: since my, my son's birthday's today. And, um, you know, just, uh,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: you know, enjoying him and enjoying, you know, what I
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: have in my life. And, you know, and then when
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: I heard that, I just said.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 13: We really did it.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: I agree with you. It really, um, it just kind of,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: you know, made you sad. And, um, you know, because there's,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: cause it's the, the world is a little bit darker now,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 4: you know, and, um, you know, that's the way I
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 4: kind of, you know, me being up in a philosophy crap. I, it's,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: I see the world is a little bit darker today.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: And, um, you know, yesterday, yesterday you reeled me in
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: like a fish on a line. I just stopped doing
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: this because it's going to get old after a while.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: I was going right along with it when you started with,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: I had a really hectic weekend. And I was like, oh, really?
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: What happened? And I was buying all of this right
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: up until the end. And, boy, that was so well done.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: That was so.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: You set it up for me. You know, I want
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: to be honest with you that what I enjoy by
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 4: interacting with you and listening to your laughs. It really
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: makes me happy.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: I've been laughing about that all day today, reflecting on it.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: I thought that was so damn funny.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 7: I laughed numerous times.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: There was one time you said, when we were talking
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 4: or something, you said something like, well, when I actually
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: get an opportunity to leave my home.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 9: And then you had this hesitation.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 4: And it was, if I would have been, if you
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: would have saw me at that time, I started laughing.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 4: I don't know if anybody else got it, but he
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: was like, the way you had kind of said it's like,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 4: whenever I get the opportunity to leave my house, you
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 4: really do have that. I think it's your laughter that
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 4: makes me happy too.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: You have been on a roll. I mean, with, with
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: the call, when you've been calling as JJ, the Trumpster, uh,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: If you would call and be upset over anybody saying
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: anything negative about Trump and everybody knowing you're J.J. the
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: liberal through electric shock therapy, you're not J.J. the Trumpster.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 4: A couple of things that people said today, so I
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: don't want to start with me today. But as I said,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 4: it's interesting because I've kind of changed.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: In a way that— You're a thespian.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 8: You're a thespian.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: You're a thespian.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: My wife actually told me, she said, because I've always
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 4: told her that I wanted to, I did a little,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: I like to garden.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 14: I've got to pause.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 8: I've got to go.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 4: Take care of yourself, my friend.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: I'll let you go ahead. There he is, J.J. the Trumpster.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: Here's a great employment opportunity of KBN. All right, back
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: to it. News Radio 570, WKBN, and Ron Verb, you're
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: on the air.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 8: Ron, how you doing?
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: Good, go ahead.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 21: Hey, I was watching something very interesting last night. You know,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 21: I was reading about the tariff negotiations, the trade deal
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 21: negotiations with Canada, things like that. And that kind of
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 21: led me to this video on YouTube of Ross Perot
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 21: and Bill Clinton's VP Al Gore. They had a debate
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 21: on Larry King, I think it was back in like
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 21: 93 or something, about NAFTA. And Ross Perot, he was
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 21: like a prophet. You know, the things he was saying
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 21: about why that was a bad trade deal, why we
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 21: shouldn't be doing those things was, you know, nearly dead on. And,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 21: you know, the big thrust of his argument was that
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 21: it doesn't make any sense to open up these trade
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 21: deals and be able to, you know, move capital across
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 21: the borders if you can't move labor, you know, basically because,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 21: you know, what companies wanted to do in the 90s is, yeah,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 21: use all that Chinese labor, use the Mexican labor, use
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 21: the South American labor for really cheap, because it was
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 21: like a dollar, you know, compared to, you know, in
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 21: the U.S., it's like $ 15, and it's just so much cheaper,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 21: you know, and that's what, that was Ross Perot's big
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 21: argument against it, and I think that's really borne out,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 21: and that's really why America's really struggled in my opinion
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 21: is it's not because we've gotten that we got a
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 21: raw deal on those trade deals like I think they
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 21: were really great for America for business owners but the
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 21: business owners they just saw that as profit they didn't
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 21: see that as some way to enhance you know the
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 21: American working class or the American people in general there's
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 21: just a way for companies to save money on labor
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 21: and And I think that was that's really what kind
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 21: of went wrong there. And what I see happen with
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 21: Trump is he's not involved in any of that. Like
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 21: what Trump is concerned about is just straight up tariff costs.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 21: And those, you know, if you just start imposing willy
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 21: nilly tariffs like it doesn't help either country in really
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 21: any way. What we should have been doing is trying
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 21: to promote the workforces in Mexico, in Canada, in China,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 21: trying to get those living standards up for those people.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 21: Then you could have fair trade with those people. But
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 21: as it stands right now, there's just none of that.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 21: I don't see Trump trying to deal with any of
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 21: those kind of issues. I just see him retreating, basically.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 21: I think it's pretty disappointing. I mean, it's extremely disappointing
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 21: what's happening with Canada. You know, not, I don't remember,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 21: a decade ago, you used to be able to freely
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 21: travel into Canada. You didn't even need a passport. You know,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 21: there was relative free trade. I mean, I think there
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 21: was some tariffs back and forth, but very minimal. And
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 21: that's all out the window. And that is 100% on Trump.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 21: And that's I mean, that's the worst thing we could
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 21: be doing to ourselves.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 9: In my opinion.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: So you think he's on the wrong track?
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 21: Oh, 100 percent. I mean, I don't I haven't I
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 21: haven't heard any. I've never read one article, one academic,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 21: one politician, one political analyst who thinks these trade deals
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 21: that Trump is negotiating are in nearly anyone's benefit. You know,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 21: and I look, I have a good faith effort. If
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 21: somebody wants to make the argument that this is a
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 21: good way to approach the policy, I'll hear it out.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 21: I have not heard one, not one good argument for it.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: For tariffs?
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 21: Oh, yeah, the way he's managing them, yeah. I mean,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 21: tariffs are, you know, tariffs are just a tax on
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 21: your own population. in order to develop certain industries you
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 21: want to develop in your own country. You know, that's
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 21: basically the only thing they're used for or good for. And,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 21: you know, so that's what Trump's, his, like, general argument is, oh, well,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 21: let's just stop buying things from these other countries, and
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 21: that's just going to somehow promote, you know, our own
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 21: manufacturing base or whatever. But that's just not happening. I mean,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 21: you can look at the manufacturing numbers. It's still going down.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 21: You know, it went up under Biden a little bit
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 21: when he had those chips and things like that.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: Stand by for a minute. I'll come back to you
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: after this. News Radio 570 WKVN. Governor Mike DeWine has

  Speaker 1: On News Radio 570. WKBN. Welcome, welcome, welcome. 435, boys
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: and girls, 78 degrees, Tuesday, August 25th. Ron Furr from
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: the King of Mahoney. I was talking to you, right? Yes, sir. Okay.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: So if you go back, like, I voted for Perot.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: Here was a case of another wacky, rich business guy
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: that I agreed with everything he was saying when he
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: was running. And everything you were saying about that, I
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: remember watching it. I watched the debate between Ross Perot
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: and Al Gore on Larry King Live, and everybody scored
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: it like, ah, Perot really got his ass whooped by Gore.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: But when the dust settled, everything Perot said was true.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: Everything that he argued, the jobs that were lost, the
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: sucking sound, the stagnant wages, everything that he said would
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: happen happened. And everything that Clinton and Gore said would
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: happen didn't happen. It did not happen. So parole was 100% right.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: And when I voted for Trump the first time, Well,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: I voted for him every time. But when I voted
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: for him the first time, I thought he was very
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: Ross Perot-like based on he had been saying this stuff
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: for years like Perot. And I voted for him. And
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: quite frankly, I was very happy with what he was
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: doing his first term. And then COVID messed everything up.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: And I was pretty happy with what he was doing
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: this term up until this war situation. So and I
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: would wish you'd get back. I'm a big believer in
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: the American first agenda. Now, you were then talking about
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: the tariffs that are going on. And I make this
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: argument all the time. And you've probably been around a
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: long time. There is no way– and I'll say it again–
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: that we can compete with a lot of these slave
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: wage nations. And I've listened to employers. I've talked to
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: them personally. When you can go to China– And you
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: can have a dirt floor, childhood labor. You don't have
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: Social Security, health insurance, none of that stuff. And they'll
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: make that product at half the price to put your
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: ass out of business. And that's exactly what they'll do.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: And Vietnam would do that and India would do that.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: So Trump's argument, which I agree with, is you have
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: to level a playing field. In other words, you have
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: to have tariffs that equal that difference in lifestyle before
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: you can bring that product into this country. Otherwise, you'll
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: put American manufacturing out of business and we'll lose those jobs.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: And since I believe the best social program is a
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: good job, that's not a good thing to make all
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: your washing machines out of the country, your vehicles out
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: of the country, because that is the goal. Even Tim Ryan,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: when he was your congressman here... as a Democrat, would
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: regularly bitch about the dumping of steel products into this community,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: finished steel products dumped here in this community from China
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: at a cost less than we could buy the raw
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: materials for. Now, on the other hand, so that's why
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: I support tariffs. I support tariffs even in the playing
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: field because I still want those products to come in
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: and you to have a choice as a consumer because
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: I don't want tariffs to where the American business can say,
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: now we can hike our prices up and really put
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: the screws to people because I've seen that happen too.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: I've seen when the competition went away, the gouging took place.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: So I still want you to have a choice to say,
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: I want a Toyota. Because General Motors used to say it,
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: once you buy a Toyota or a Honda, and I
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: just remind people, the reason they're in the United States
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: was because of Ronald Reagan. The only way they could
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: bring those cars in and put them here was if
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: they had to be made in the United States. That
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: was Reagan. That's why all these plants are in the
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: United States of America. So I don't have a problem
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: with you buying a Toyota or a Honda. Look at
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: what it did for Marysville, Ohio and this kind of stuff.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: But even General Motors said once people go to those cars,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: they never come back. They're so satisfied with the quality
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: of them. And what did GM do when that happened?
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: GM started upping their game and making their product better.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: Now we're right back to GM making stupid decisions. General
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: Motors basically conceded the small car and the fuel-efficient car.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: They conceded that all to Honda, Toyota, Kia. General Motors
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: and Ford, they gave up on making small cars, fuel-efficient cars,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: with the exception of maybe the Chevy Trax, affordable. You
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: can still get a Chevy Trax. But for the most part,
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: they conceded the car market to all the foreign companies,
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: which I think was just damn stupid. They made some
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: of the stupidest corporate decisions you could ever make for
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: a company.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 21: Yeah, I agree with a lot of what you're saying.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 21: The thing that I get lost on is when you say, like,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 21: level the playing field. You know, what that would mean,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 21: if you want to level the playing field with China,
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 21: that means our labor costs need to be as low
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 21: as theirs.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no. It means our labor costs stay
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: where they are. We level the playing field by having
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: a tariff of the difference between those benefits and wages
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: on their products coming in.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 21: Who pays the tariff?
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: That's the tariff coming in. Obviously, you do as a consumer, potentially.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: And if you don't, too many people lose their jobs.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: You know, you can say, I want to buy all
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: this stuff dirt cheap. And I watch people say that
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: and do that until it ended up affecting their family
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: and their jobs. I remember sitting here when NAFTA came about,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: as you mentioned, Perot, and people weren't paying attention until
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: they lost their jobs. And we saw entire communities... Lose
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: their tax base, drug problems, school systems, the entire community's
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: destroyed for it. One of my best callers was Ray,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: the truck driver, who said, it is so damn sad
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: out here. These plants I delivered to are all closed
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: and they have all these weeds growing because they couldn't compete.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: So that's the only way you can do it. I
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: happen to think it's a sin to all of this
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: work that's going over to China to Because we can't
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: compete with that in the prices that they do over there.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: Are we to concede every job that we have?
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 9: Who was it.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 21: That turned the jobs over to China?
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: Well, whether it's the American manufacturer or whether it's the
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: government policies. In many cases, it was Mexico. And here
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: is two sides to every story. A lot of times
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: the car companies got fired. fed up with the unions
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: going to extremes and wanting more and more that they
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: couldn't afford. So they went to Mexico to get away
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: from that. But then again, you got a bunch of people,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: you gotta have a job. to go to without a
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: job you're screwed the best social programs a good job
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: and we better have jobs for everybody because everybody's not
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: going to be a lawyer or a doctor or whatever
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: and you better have the jobs because if you don't
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: and perot was right and trump's trying to have that
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: in america and to a large extent he's brought a
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: lot of manufacturing back out of the fear of tariffs
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: and it should continue to come back here well it
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: should continue to come back to this country With a
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: level playing field. So if you want to go buy
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: an LG washing machine made in Korea, you have that choice.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: But it's not going to put out– was it Whirlpool
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: in Ohio? The company in Ohio that says, well, you
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: saw American business say we can't compete, so we're going
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: to have to go to Mexico, just like Perot said.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: So it's easy to say I want a deal until
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: it's your job. And I leave you with that. So
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: mull that one over, all right? Thanks. NewsRadio, I mean,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: there's two sides to every story on this kind of stuff.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: And I think people have to realize that when it
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: comes to where you are on these type of situations.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: You're on the air.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 14: Ronald.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: It's Theodore the Conservative.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 8: Hey, I had to call because you made me smile.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 8: You said... I could never vote.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: For a Democrat. And I thought, wow. I will correct something.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: I'm going to correct something. That does not... Okay, I'm
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: going to rain on your parade. That applies to the
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: federal level. And that applies to the state level. That
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: applies to, you know, president, senator, congressman, and even a
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: state level. However, I will say this to you.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 14: Oh, boy.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 9: Here we go.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say I'm going to say no, you don't.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: You know, I've by virtue of just sitting in the
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: catbird seats, I can tell you that I think there
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: are some Democrats that are running for local offices. That
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: are much far better choices and more competence than the
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: Republican Party. I would be careful how.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 8: I use the word pump. They might be good salesmen,
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 8: but remember, they voted for Kamala Harris.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: They voted for Joe Biden. They might smile.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 8: And tell you everything you want to hear, but their decision-making...
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 8: skills are incompatible with the goals that you and I have.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, really? Take a look at the recorder. Oh, he's
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: a bad guy, no doubt. And he's a Republican. You
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: would have been better off, the woman that was running
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: that office for years as a Democrat. All of this
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: stuff isn't necessarily political.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 9: I'll give you credit.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 8: I'll say this. Life is not black and white. There's
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 8: a lot of gray. You're 100% right when it comes
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 8: to that recorder's office. However, however, This is just Ted
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 8: the conservative. I will never vote for a Democrat.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I will tell you this. There are some– well,
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: off the top of my head, there's at least one. Wow.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: In this, well, one. In my neck of the woods
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: that I... I'm surprised you found one. Yeah, that I
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: would vote for a particular position because I think they
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: have the right abilities. And I think their abilities... Even
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: though they're Kamala Harris fans? I don't know if they're
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: necessarily Kamala Harris fans. They're Democrats... And listen, just because...
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: Let me put it this way. Sometimes Democrats aren't happy
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: with their party as well. I could be critical of Trump,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: and I will not vote solely based on party. I
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: will on a lot of arenas. But sometimes there are
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: lousy Republican choices, I've got to tell you.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 8: No doubt, no doubt. Give me a bad Republican over
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 8: a bad Democrat.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 9: No.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 8: Most of them never meet our expectations. I mean, let's
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 8: be honest.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: Well, I will say this. You have had a lot of–
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: I'll give you an example of a guy that I
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: think is a decent human being, and he's a Democrat.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: There's some out there. I think John Bocherry falls into
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: that category.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah, John's a good guy. For everything I know, he's
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 8: a good guy.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: Good father, good husband, good American citizen. I think he's
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: more of a....
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 8: He could be the exception to the rule. How's that?
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: Well, he could be one of them. But there's another
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: one I have in mind. It wouldn't be appropriate for
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: me to say it at the present time. But there's
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: another one I have in mind that I think, from
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: a standpoint, he has the right... temperaments that is needed
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: for the position he's seeking. In my opinion, yeah. But
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: some of these Republicans.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 8: I agree there's bad Republicans. Don't get me wrong. And
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 8: I'm not saying... I'm speaking in generalities, obviously.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not naive to.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 8: Say there aren't good Democrats here.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: In generalities, I would agree with you. But in some cases....
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 8: Once you leave the local government, we'll agree. You never
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 8: vote for a Democrat.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: Okay. No, but I'm somewhat disappointed. I mean, like I said,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: I'm disappointed in Trump at this point in time. And
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: I'm disappointed in the Republican Party as a whole that
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: they haven't codified this stuff properly. the executive orders. In general,
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: the Republican Party, to me, has been a disappointment on
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: the federal level, their lack of action.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 8: I have told you, how many times have I told
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 8: you over the years that when it comes to governing
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 8: and getting things done, the Republican Party is horrible? I
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 8: think I've even maybe gone so far as to tell
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 8: you the only good thing about Republicans being in the
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 8: majority is is we stop the Democrat agenda from moving forward.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: Well, that isn't what you told me, and I'm going
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: to correct you. I've got a good memory on what.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 8: You told me. What did I say?
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: What did I say? Okay, I'm going to relive it. No,
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: I said, you said to me, I can remember it.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: You said, Ron, you don't want to know what sucks?
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: And I said, what's that?
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 8: I didn't say that word.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, you do. You said, Ron, I'm going to tell
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: you what sucks. I said, what's that? And then you
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: said your show. And I said, oh. No, I wouldn't
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: say that. Maybe that was someone else.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 8: Maybe that was J.J., the liberal, before he got sick.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: J.J. 's been on a roll, man. J.J. is a.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 8: Hey, I think, you know, I got to tell you,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 8: I think I did good renaming him. I think I...
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 8: You know, and I want to go to the next
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 8: guy real quick. Well, go ahead. Say what you want
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 8: about J.J. Then I want to make a comment about
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 8: Fifth Avenue and the other colleges.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: I love Fifth Avenue. But you know what I was
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: intrigued by the boss lady's insight into the– York going
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: down to the trailer park thing yesterday. Her call was great.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: My favorite call yesterday was the 85-year-old woman. That was
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: my favorite call of all of them.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 8: God bless her, huh?
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 8: She's out there living life, cutting grass. She's going to
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 8: live a lot longer if she stays active. So good
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 8: for her.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: But are you saddened as I am today with the
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: passing of Dolly Parton? I'm really bummed.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 9: No.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 8: You think she would have been sad if you died?
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: If I died?
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you think she'd care?
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: No, but I know who Dolly Parton is. You don't
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: know a squat about me.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 8: How do you know who Dolly Parton is?
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: I've been watching her for years. I enjoyed her music,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: her enthusiasm, her bubbly personality, all that kind of stuff.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 8: It has nothing to do with comments that you made
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 8: about AOC earlier.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. I mean, can you believe that, honest
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: to God, they are even talking about her?
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 8: I'll tell you this much. My father-in-law and my wife
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 8: from down south, Tennessee, to them it probably means a
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 8: big deal, but I can care less. I mean, I
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 8: understand why it means something to some people.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, it means a lot to me, and I'm
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: not from down south, but she's just a great entertainer.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: Bubbly personality just made you, put you in a good mood.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: But the fact that the Democrats would even think AOC,
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, I look at AOC as a nitwit.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 8: She's nuts.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: And Gavin Newsom.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 8: She's literally, I mean, she's literally on the verge, I mean, of,
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 8: I don't know that I would say A socialist more
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 8: as a communist. I mean, if you look at that DSA,
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 8: they talk about Trump being a king, but they want
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 8: to turn us into a communist country. Think about that.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: I just don't think she has the smarts to be president.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: I'll say it again. I think DeSantis has the smarts
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: to be president.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 8: I'll say this about her. I respect her in that
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 8: her opinion never changes. She truly believes in the crazy
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 8: shit she says.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: Don't say the S word. Okay, she.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 8: said the S word.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 9: I'm sorry.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 8: That's why you got my mind.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't say that. I didn't say that.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 8: Uh, but anyway, she, she believes the crazy crap. She says, yes,
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 8: truly believe that stuff. So I can respect her now.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: I can't respect it.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 8: I'm like a Gavin Newsom.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 9: Well, hear me out.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 8: I'm like a Gavin Newsom.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: Snake oil.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 8: He caters to the crowd. Yeah, he caters to the
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 8: crowd he's addressing.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 8: He'll have 10 different opinions on the same subject. Yes.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 8: She never changes her opinion.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 8: You know where she stands. And when I say that,
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 8: that's what I mean. There's very few politicians like that.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 8: Democrats or Republicans.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom thinks he can get elected based on his
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: boyish charm, and AOC thinks she can get elected because
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: she thinks everyone wants to have sex with her. Hang on.

  Speaker 1: from the Kingdom of Mahoning. 78 degrees. All right, Ted,
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: go ahead.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 8: So what I was going to say is your caller earlier,
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 8: the gentleman that you were intrigued by, you talked about
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 8: him and his good staff, and it was kind of
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 8: a same breath. But I was surprised you didn't know
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 8: his political position on issues. Over the years, he's made
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 8: it very clear he's a liberal socially and When it
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 8: comes to fiscal matters, he's conservative. Probably a moderate Democrat,
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 8: just like my father was. Grew up as a Democrat,
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 8: you know. Probably worked in a union, maybe. But guys
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 8: like him, the woman that called yesterday, Fifth Avenue. You know,
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 8: I remember I told you how I came up with
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 8: the name of Fifth Avenue. I just had a vision
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 8: of him sitting in a house up on Fifth Avenue,
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 8: plastic on the furniture, with maybe a fedora hat.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 14: On, a robe.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: Well, that's absolutely true. That's exactly how he is.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 8: But those guys, your callers that are older than me,
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 8: those are the calls I appreciate the most on this program,
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 8: even if I don't agree with their political opinion, because
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 8: they've lived life a lot longer than me, and they've
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 8: got so many more life experiences than me. And you
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 8: can hear that. It comes out in their voice. And
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 8: I think it comes out in their decision-making.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: Right. I have that same thought. I mean, you know,
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: as a young guy like you, myself, I have that
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: same thought.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 8: I mean, hey, you know, we won't be young forever,
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 8: so we might as well listen and learn, right? Sometimes
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 8: I'm a little bit hard on Frank, but you know,
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 8: like you said, we may not agree with Frank's political
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 8: opinions or his issues on Israel, but he's a smart guy.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 8: He's no dumb guy.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: Right. I would agree with it.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 9: You know, you've.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 8: Put that together with his life experiences, financial experiences. If
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 8: you listen to Frank, you'll learn something. You don't have
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 8: to agree with everything he says, but I'll guarantee you,
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 8: you'll learn something from him if you listen to him.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: He's pretty sharp on the economy, but he's in Fort Lauderdale.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: I'm going to watch him. I'm going to get him tomorrow.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say, if you're so smart on the economy,
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say, how come you don't live in Naples?
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: I'm going to zing him tomorrow.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 7: Naples?
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 8: What's wrong with Naples? Oh, okay. Well, Lauderdale, though, I mean,
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 8: have you been there lately? My goodness gracious. There's a
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 8: lot of money down there in Fort Lauderdale.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: Really? I would think Naples. What's more expensive of a place,
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: Fort Lauderdale or Naples?
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 8: I would say that overall, Naples, there's probably not a
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 8: cheap property in Naples, whereas in Fort Lauderdale, you may
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 8: still find some. But I'm telling you, Ron, there's parts
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 8: of Fort Lauderdale, holy cow. I mean, if you.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: See these homes... So you're saying I could zing him
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: and it could backfire? Okay, I got to pause.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 8: You could zing him and ask him to tell you
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 8: about Fort Lauderdale.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: This is a Fox News alert. A nation in mourning.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: I'm Lisa Brady.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 5: It was no doubt when you met Dolly Parton, you
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 5: realized how wonderful she was as a human being.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 16: Singer Lee Greenwood telling Fox he's heartbroken over the loss
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 16: of the global icon. Her family says the singer, songwriter, actress,
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 16: playwright and philanthropist died peacefully today in Nashville.
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: She was 80.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 11: She set her sights on Nashville at a very young
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 11: age and never looked back. Her songs cut across generations
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 11: and built bridges across political divides. Her career started when
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 11: she hooked up with Porter Wagoner and spanned seven decades.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 11: Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 11: 59 years, Carl Thomas Dean, who died in April of 2025.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 11: At Dolly's request, a small private service will be held
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 11: for immediate family. Dolly's fans and friends from around the
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 11: world are encouraged to pay tribute on social media.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: By tagging at Dolly Parton. Ox is Michelle Polino.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 16: Of her many honors and achievements, Parton said what meant
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 16: perhaps the most was her imagination library, which has given
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 16: more than 200 million books to children, founded in honor
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 16: of her father, who could not read. President Trump lowering
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 16: flags for one week in her honor and posting, there
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 16: will never be anyone like her. Canada rolls out retaliatory

  Speaker 23: We are under unprovoked attack by President Trump.
• 1:34:20

• 1:34:23
  Speaker 23: I always say Canadians, myself, we love the American people,
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 23: we love the U.S., and it's unfortunate that President Trump
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 23: has taken action.

• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: Sad day of the passing of Dolly Parton. And glad
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: you're still amongst us. You're on the air.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 13: Yeah, Ron, how you doing? I heard part of your
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 13: show yesterday. And I thought, real quick, that 85-year-old lady
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 13: was fantastic, by the way. But I thought everybody was
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 13: a little too hard on the Bartlows. I think they
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 13: blew that way out of proportion. For all the good
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 13: that that family's done the Valley, you know, especially Denise,
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 13: I thought that the news media, I think publishing that
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 13: mugshot was over the top on the TV media. But
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 13: a lot of people, you know, just seem to enjoy
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 13: it too much. And like I said, they've done more
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 13: good for this valley than everybody here combined.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: The whole story is so bizarre because... I mean, it's,
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: I guess we're all just scratching our heads saying, what
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: the hell was this dude thinking? I mean, as I,
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: as I said yesterday, I'm going to tell you right
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: now that probably the best pickup line you can ever
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: have is, hi, I'm, uh, whatever, you know, uh, John York,
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: or what was his name? Jeff, Jeff, Jeff York, and
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: I own the San Francisco 49ers. That's a pretty good
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: pickup line. Don't you think? Yeah.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 13: You know, Ron, I was a bartender for 10 years and, uh,
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 13: you wouldn't believe the stuff I heard behind the bar.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 13: I mean, I'm saying to myself half the time, don't
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 13: these people know I'm here, you know, when they're having
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 13: their conversations? And I've heard so much, and in this
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 13: I put way down, you know, Remember Roger Kraft from
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 13: the New England Patriots?
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, I do. But it's the stupidity. I thought the
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: boss lady did an excellent analysis of it. It's just stupid.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: What are you doing in a position you are? Going
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: down to a trailer park to pay someone supposedly. Well, OK,
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: let me back up. It's the stupidity of it. You're
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: doing this online when you know if you've been around
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: any length of time, it's usually the cops on the
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: other end of it. I am shocked the number of
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: guys who get caught in these sting operations that they
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: are engaging in this. They're sending out pictures of their.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: manhood or they're trying to engage in sex with somebody
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: that and it's some cop or some sting operation on
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: the end of the line we see it time and
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: time again with local joe bag of donuts all the
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: time and and then they get their mug shots published
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: and embarrassment and all and can lose their jobs so
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: we see it all the time but and it's and
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: it's stupid that that they fall for it and it's
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: stupid that this guy is boss he said it's stupid
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: this guy fell for it his mugshot was published just
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: like anybody else's and uh and he's he's got the
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: ramifications uh for it i mean If you're asking me,
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: do we lock him up in jail for 10 years?
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 9: No.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, OK, you got caught. You pay
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: your fine or whatever it is and get on with
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: your life and learn a lesson because, you know, you've disrespected.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: You've hurt your mother. I'm sure you've hurt your your
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: wife or ex-wife. I don't know what the situation is.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: And your children, you should know better. How do I
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: say he should simply know better?
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 13: Well, Ron, you have a few drinks and people don't
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 13: think logically, or you take a few whatever you do,
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 13: and you're not thinking logically, and so that's that. But
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 13: what I will say is, like, once you go back
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 13: to it again, like Dolly Parton, she'll be known as
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 13: one of the top things she'll be known for is
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 13: a philanthropist. I mean, she did so much good. With
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 13: that imagination library. Well, you never heard.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: About Dolly Parton running around. I mean, people always try
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: to spread the rumors, but she stayed married to her
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: husband and was very saddened upon his death. So, I mean,
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: she always gave that flirtatious impression, but there was never
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: any scandal between her and Kenny Rogers or anybody.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 13: Yeah, but getting to the point why I called, but
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 13: I'll say one more time that the Bartlows are a
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 13: great family, and I was saddened by the news yesterday.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 9: Not happy.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 13: But let's get to the point that I was calling about.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 13: Did you see where Kushner met with Akeem Jeffries on
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 13: Trump's behalf?
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 13: Oh, you didn't see that?
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 8: No.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 13: The media buried that. That was a couple of days ago.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 13: He's cutting deals with the Democrats. You know, why isn't
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 13: he talking? He's talking with the Democratic leader of the
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 13: House instead of his own leader, Johnson. But I think he's,
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 13: I think he's, realizing he's going to lose the midterms,
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 13: and I don't think he wants to get impeached. And
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 13: they're probably making deals on what he can give the
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 13: Democrats to keep them off of his back. But look
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 13: into that if you get a chance on that meeting.
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 13: But on the tariff point, I'm not so concerned with
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 13: the tariffs. What concerns me is I'm living in a
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 13: welfare state. Do you know what percent of our budget
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 13: we spend on welfare out of the federal budget?
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 13: 47% down the drain. That's welfare. And then if you
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 13: add on the interest on the debt, that's another 9%.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 13: So right off the bat, 56% is wasted. And then
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 13: you add up everything else. Education is 15%. National defense
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 13: is almost 8%, 9%.
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 6: But you've got these.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 13: Do-nothing... We have $ 40 trillion in debt. We're a welfare state.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 13: We have so much fraud. If you would just take
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 13: care of the fraud, you wouldn't have to worry about
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 13: the tariffs or real estate taxes or our local taxes.
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 13: You wouldn't have to pay an income tax, must said,
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 13: if we just took care of the fraud. And the
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 13: other thing I wanted to call about, 9-11 is coming up,
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 13: and I don't know. I follow this architect, Richard Gage.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 13: They're having a.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: You mean that's Richard Gere. He's not an architect.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 9: No, no.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 13: Richard Gage.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 6: G-H-E-E.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 13: I know who you're talking about, the actor. But this
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 13: is the famous architect. He's having a meeting in New York.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 13: It's called.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 13: What is it called? Turning the Tide, 9-11, 25 years later,
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 13: where he has... And a lot of witnesses... A lot
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 13: of firemen, battalion chiefs that were there on the scene
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 13: when 9-11 happened. I know we've got a lot of
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 13: kids now that don't know anything about 9-11. And Dennis
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 13: Kucinich is going to be one of the speakers, believe
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 13: it or not. They said that was a cover-up. It was,
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 13: you know, Building 7 collapsed?
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 13: The BBC announced that it collapsed a half an hour,
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 13: and they were describing everything that happened. A half an
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 13: hour before it happened.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: I never saw that, but I mean, there's so much
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: to be concerned about with that entire situation. What was
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: the failure? They knew these guys were here. They knew
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: what they were up to. There's a lot of suspicion
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: over that entire event.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 13: And they just happened to find four intact passports at
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 13: the scene of the Saudis, the pilots. Everything else was incinerated, pulverized,
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 13: dust exploded, but yet you had these four pristine, not pristine,
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 13: but four intact passports that the FBI happened to produce.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 13: It just doesn't add up. I'm with you. Getting back
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 13: to Kushner, I mean, who elected Kushner to negotiate our
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 13: foreign policy and then negotiate politics with the Democrats? It
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 13: doesn't make any sense.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: Well, Trump put him in that position.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 13: Yeah, well.
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, he trusts him because of his family relationship,
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: kind of like John Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy. Sometimes the
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: people you trust most are the ones that are closest
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 13: Yes, and, you know, getting back to this war, like
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 13: I said, it's... Trump did it to himself, and I
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 13: think at the direction of the Israelis, and it was
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 13: not in our national interest, and it was in Israel's interest,
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 13: and yet Israel is still, you know.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 13: Bubba Ghanoush, does he ever talk about Lebanon and its
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 13: people being killed and bombed?
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: I really haven't asked him enough about it, but I will.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 13: But, you know, one more quick point. I don't know
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 13: if you saw Senator Warner, you know, the Democratic senator...
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 13: came out of an intelligence meeting, and he said, this
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 13: was within the last week, there was no threat to
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 13: the U.S. from Iran. He said there was a threat
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 13: to Israel. And then he said if we view the
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 13: threat to Israel as an imminent threat to the U.S.,
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 13: then clearly we're occupied by the Israeli government. They run
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 13: our country.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: It's sad.
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: Hey, thank you. Appreciate your call. You're on air. Moving quick. Hello.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 21: Hello.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, go ahead, please.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 12: Yeah, the guy on the terrace a while ago, when
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 12: he called, you know, when you go to Canada, you
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 12: can't buy a bottle of California wine. If you get it,
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 12: it's $ 10 retail here. You know what it is up there?
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 8: $ 30.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 12: You know, they tax the hell out of our stuff.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 14: We don't do that. And you can do that with the.
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 12: Dairy and everything else. So that's the point of the tariffs,
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 12: where our companies are getting taken advantage of.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 12: Because they have big tariffs on us. You can go
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 12: there and buy a French bottle of wine at a
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 12: regular price.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 12: Italian bottle of wine, but not a California bottle of wine.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 12: And dairy and a lot of other stuff. So that's
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 12: the problem with the tariffs, and that's why he's doing
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 12: what he's doing.
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 9: And, you know.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: I agree with him. I don't disagree with him on
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: tariffs at all.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 12: And your last caller, you know, you listen to these senators,
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 12: they all just play spin coming out of those things.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 14: There's no... You never get anything.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and say I'm not
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 1: a Republican cheerleader. The Republicans have disappointed me that they
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: didn't codify Trump's executive orders. I think they I might
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: be disappointed in Trump with this war situation. But that
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that he was wasn't still the best choice.
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: And overall, it's done a decent job and stuff. But
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: I can still be disappointed in him. In my opinion,
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: in this situation, just as I'm disappointed in the Republican
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: Party for not, the next president can come in and
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: wipe all of this out if it's a Democrat. And
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: it's crazy. And it very well could be.
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 12: I mean, Trump firmly believes that he needed to do this.
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 12: He didn't do this because he wanted to do this.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 9: It was a big gamble.
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 14: I don't know.
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 12: He firmly believes. What he says.
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 4: There's no doubt.
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 9: Now, he's right or wrong. I can't argue that.
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: Well, time will tell.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 12: I know he firmly believes in that.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, time will tell, as we say.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we don't know.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 14: All right, Tiger.
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 13: Have a good day.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: Thank you. You're on air. Trying to move quickly. Hello.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: You're on air.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 9: Good evening, Ron.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 3: How are you?
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: It must be G2 on the end of the line.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 9: It is, and it's a frustrated G2, I will tell
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 9: you that, because it feels like hundreds and hundreds of
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 9: hours of analysis and debate and argument is all just gone,
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 9: like everybody's just forgotten it all, because gas went to...
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 9: $ 4 or whatever it's at. It's really frustrating. So a
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 9: couple of quick points. First of all, this Kushner thing
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 9: is an important point, but I take a slightly different
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 9: position on it than what was just said. Donald Trump
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 9: has been negotiating through Spender Johnson and Trader Thune to
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 9: get to the Democrats for a long time. He's been
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 9: trying to push his agenda, our agenda, through that body
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 9: and simply can't do it. Remember in the first hundred
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 9: days how we were talking about how the Republicans were,
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 9: I think they took 44 days off? 44 out of
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 9: 100 of days they were supposed to be in session,
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 9: plus weekends, they were barely there. And they did that
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 9: so they wouldn't advance the agenda. Then we get to
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 9: the big, beautiful bill. And here's an important point. Somebody
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 9: was talking the other day about how Trump added $ 4
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 9: trillion to the deficit. That is such simplistic, propagandist kind
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 9: of nonsense. Here's the fact. Trump went to the Republicans
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 9: in Congress with this big, ugly, expensive bill that had
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 9: a few things in there that they absolutely had to pass.
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 9: Because believe me, the Democrats and Republicans were not going
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 9: to let those tax credits or those tax rates expire
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 9: and increase. They weren't going to do it. Their donors
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 9: would have fried them alive, and the public would have
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 9: fried them alive. Because as you know... When those tax
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 9: breaks were put in place, it wasn't just, as the
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 9: corporate media says, for the billionaires. Joe Mainstreet got an
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 9: immediate benefit from that tax cut. And then we.
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 7: Saw $ 2.
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 9: Trillion of private money come back to the U.S., get reinvested.
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 9: We had this thing called reshoring, and we watched wages
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 9: go up for the first time in four decades. So
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 9: there's no way. Congress was going to let those go.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 9: He got a couple of other things, but Republicans forced
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 9: him to agree to a $ 5 trillion increase in the debt.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 9: And you may remember, for those that think that's a
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 9: Republican move, that the Democrats then shut down the government
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 9: because they wanted another $ 1. 5 trillion. They said, oh, it's
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 9: not enough that you're going to take us to $ 50
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 9: trillion because that's where we're headed. We need another trillion
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 9: and a half. You're not spending enough, was the Democrat message.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 9: So if you think voting for Democrats is somehow fiscal
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 9: responsibility or somehow going to help with the debt, you're delusional.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 9: That's just silly, but I understand how the media pushes
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 9: this crap out. Now, anybody that thinks Donald Trump was
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 9: going to come in and get Congress to agree to
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 9: stop spending should have been dissuaded of that opinion when
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 9: the big, ugly bill went through. And then we got
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 9: the housing bill that I bet almost no one even
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 9: knows passed. And that housing bill replenished the coffers of
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 9: all the NGOs that are out there plotting a plan
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 9: that hands the government is taking the responsibility now for
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 9: determining how you're going to use your lot. If you've
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 9: got a lot in a downtown area or a rural area,
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 9: the government is going to have a plan for how
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 9: your lot gets used. It's no longer the old days
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 9: where we all got together and figured out where we
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 9: wanted to build houses and farms. Maybe there was some zoning.
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 9: That's not the case. Now they're the urban development plans.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 9: They're going to urbanize the suburbs. And nobody even knows
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 9: this happened. It was a bipartisan bill that got 85
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 9: votes in the Senate. That means uniparty. And there's nothing
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 9: that passes by the uniparty that's in the interest of
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 9: the American people. When you flip the trade, the comment
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 9: the guy made about wine just a moment ago, he's
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 9: dead on. And he's getting right into the heart of
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 9: the matter. I heard the earlier caller thinking that somehow
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 9: wages are the factor that's driving things overseas and this
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 9: crazy idea that somehow we can drive wages up in
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 9: other countries. As if we can even set the wage here. Remember,
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 9: there's a reason why the federal wage is at $ 7. 25,
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 9: but if you go to a McDonald's, you're going to
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 9: get something. What are you going to get, $ 11, $ 12
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 9: an hour now? Nobody pays attention to the government minimum wage.
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 9: There's a market wage set by the market, and that's
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 9: what drives employment. We're not going to be able to
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 9: not only force wages through our country without causing all
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 9: kinds of economic dislocation. We can't force Canada to raise
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 9: its wages. But here's the thing. It doesn't matter. Because
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 9: whatever the argument about wages, you know, we were all
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 9: told we had to accept that we don't make anything
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 9: important anymore because other people do it for less. And
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 9: somehow these Americans accepted that. But the reality is it
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 9: is a sophisticated combination of export duties, export.
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: Stand by. For news. Oh, that was Paul Harvey. Stand by.
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: Back in a minute. News Radio 570. WKBN. Well, I've
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: told you many. KBN. All right. Go ahead. Pick up
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: with your thoughts.
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 8: G2.
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 9: So on trade, if you think wages are the determinant
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 9: factor in where products are manufactured, that may have been
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 9: true in 1980. It is certainly not the case now.
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 9: And it's not free to ship a vehicle or a
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 9: component 10,000 miles. So think about the cost of extending
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 9: your production line, say, from Lordstown all the way to Shanghai.
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 9: You have a lot of capital tied up and moving
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 9: things across the ocean. Why do they do it? Because
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 9: the Chinese, as a mercantilist war, as a trade war
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 9: they launched against us 40 years ago, used a complex
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 9: method of currency manipulation, export duties that load artificially their
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 9: raw material costs, and export subsidies. And what I mean is,
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 9: if you export something to a foreign market out of China,
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 9: the government would pay some of your costs, would subsidize
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 9: that product. If it was a low-value product, sort of
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 9: not fully finished, just a component, you'd get a little
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 9: bit of money. The more advanced the product was, the
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 9: more money you got, until finally when a product reached
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 9: the United States, it might only be 35%. It might
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 9: be 35% or 40% less than their actual cost to
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 9: produce because the government was subsidizing it. They were doing
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 9: it specifically to take that industry and those jobs out
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 9: of the United States. You are not going to combat
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 9: this with some fairy tale about controlling wages in foreign countries.
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 9: It's just, I don't know who's saying that. When you're
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 9: hearing this, it's crazy. Now, why don't you hear this
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 9: kind of talk regularly? Because the globalists... like that situation.
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 9: They enjoyed impoverishing you. They enjoyed shipping all those jobs overseas,
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 9: and they made trillions of dollars doing it. And China,
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 9: look at China's economy. It's thriving, and people are like,
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 9: that's the best model. You know what their model is?
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 9: leeching like a parasite off the United States and Europe,
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 9: stealing intellectual property, taking these industries, absorbing everything they could absorb.
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 9: You've seen this parade of announcements over the last couple
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 9: of days, or rather reports over the last couple of days,
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 9: of these professors that we paid for through DARPA and
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 9: other federal grant programs who developed advanced materials and other technologies,
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 9: who then immediately, when they left the university, went to
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 9: China and got paid to teach the Chinese exactly what
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 9: they developed for DARPA. This is a war. So one
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 9: of the critical weapons to use in that war is tariffs.
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 9: And this concept that it's just a tax on the people, okay,
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 9: come on. That is such an easy talking point for
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 9: someone who wants to continue exactly what Ross Perot was
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 9: complaining about, the exportation of all the high-value jobs, either
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 9: through offshoring or actually moving things overseas, the whole industry,
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 9: Like pharmaceuticals, you know, we don't make them anymore. I
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 9: went to China. You think that was because of labor?
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 9: And think about how much labor represents. In the 1970s, say,
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 9: steel in Youngstown, labor was probably 50%, 55%, something like that, 60%
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 9: of the cost. Somebody in this audience knows. Now it's
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 9: like 6.5%, 7%, 8%, 9%, depending on the product and process.
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 9: You can cut that in half. You're only 3% out.
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 9: In exchange, you're going to ship steal 10,000 miles? You
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 9: think that's an even exchange?
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 14: No.
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 9: It's government tax and trade policy that determines where these
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 9: things go. And Trump came back into that war. Now
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 9: we haven't even touched on the fentanyl war, locking down
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 9: the border, child trafficking. Hundreds of thousands of children have
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 9: not been raped because Donald Trump was elected.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: So.
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 9: I understand the hate fest because we're paying $ 4 for
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 9: gas or $ 4. 50 or whatever it is.
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 6: I understand.
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 9: I don't like paying more for gas. I think this war,
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 9: as was said a minute ago, not in our national interest,
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 9: clearly directed by a foreign power. I don't think there's
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 9: any question about that. But we're in it. So now
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 9: what do we do? We just bitch? And what, we
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 9: elect Sherrod Brown back to the Senate because you think
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 9: Israel doesn't control those guys? Barry Goldwater in 1988 specifically
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 9: said Congress is occupied. Barry Goldwater was half Jewish. Did
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 9: I lose you?
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: No, I got you.
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 9: All right. So when you look at this, I think
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 9: there are just, we're having this massive case of memory
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 9: loss about all these important issues because we're paying more
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 9: for gas. I don't want to pay it. There are
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 9: real serious issues coming out of this war, and if
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 9: this thing expands, if they successfully expand it, it's going
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 9: to get worse. There's a path out of it. What
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 9: Scott Pesent said earlier this week about not creating an
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 9: economic element to the war, but rather accelerating that. We've
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 9: had an economic war with Iran since 1979. They're just
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 9: ramping it up. Dropping the kinetic side, I think, is
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 9: a mistake. They certainly cannot drop the embargo, the blockade.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 9: They can't do that, and I think they should be
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 9: doing more to stop trade on the eastern side and
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 9: the northern side of the country.
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: Stand by for a minute. G2 on the end of
• 1:58:04

  Speaker 22: today to probation. 71-year-old Carlene Harris, who drove for Trinity Transportation,

• 1:59:24
  Speaker 1: your fearless leader here. 80 degrees, lovely. Tuesday afternoon on
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 1: this August 25th. And talking with the mysterious G2. In
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 1: the bunker deep under the earth's crust in a secret
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: undisclosed location by a satellite phone. You got a copy
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 1: on me still, G2? Over.
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 9: I'm there.
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: All right. So I sense frustration coming from you. Deep frustration,
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: deep anger, deep, deep in the pit of your stomach.
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 9: Well, that's because that's the way I'm seeing this. I mean, look,
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 9: we are in the middle of a fight for the,
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 9: you know, for the future of this nation. Nothing has changed.
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 9: And it's like we're just reverting back to corporate media dumbness.
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 9: I mean, this is one of the most advanced thinking audiences.
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 9: Of course, you've got the people at Fifth Avenue, got
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 9: these others that are just helpful because they bring in
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 9: that leftist crazy opinion. But let's face it. It was
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 9: a couple of years ago on this channel. We were
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 9: talking about 400,000 people dying of fentanyl in the United
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 9: States government, not just failing to make that stop, but
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 9: helping happen as a matter of policy. That changed when
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 9: Trump was elected. So I don't understand how we just
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 9: obsess on this gas price and this war as if
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 9: somehow none of these other things happen. I'll tell you,
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 9: do you think we wouldn't have had this war if
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 9: Kamala Harris was elected? You think Israel wouldn't have gotten
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 9: to her?
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 6: Easy.
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 9: Easy to get to her.
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 4: She cares about nothing.
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 9: But we also would have had the fentanyl continuing, the
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 9: child trafficking continuing. We'd have had the inflation continue. Oh,
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 9: and I know the inflation thing. We want to pretend
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 9: it all happened since February 28th. The reality is... At
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 9: one point this year, it wasn't for very long, very
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 9: short period, but it got down to 0.68. It's up
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 9: last time I checked around 2.3. We've actually had rents
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 9: falling in some key markets, mostly in the southeast. Why?
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 9: Because he locked down the border, he stopped the inflow,
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 9: and he cut off the payments of the federal government
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 9: paying the rent for a lot of these foreign nationals.
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 9: So now all of a sudden they don't have the
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 9: rent money. So do you get to buy that? You
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 9: get to rent that apartment. Guess what happens when suddenly
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 9: demand falls off? On this show, we talked months and
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 9: months ago about how rental occupancy or vacancy rather in
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 9: non-residential multifamily. I'm sorry.
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 7: Apologies.
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 9: How vacancy in residential multifamily dropped or increased to 7.2,
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 9: a number we hadn't seen in years. There was supply added,
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 9: but that was also on the demand side. You know
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 9: what happened a few months later? We got reports of
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 9: rents falling. These are things that have happened in our interest. Now,
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 9: this war, bad call, bad timing. I do not believe,
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 9: and I have looked into this fairly deeply, there was
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 9: a nuclear threat coming from Iran that was simply an excuse.
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 9: They didn't sell the war in advance because they thought
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 9: everybody would just accept it. So they just launched. Now,
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 9: the PR plan wasn't very good. But to say that
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 9: they didn't think the Strait of Hormuz would be locked
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 9: down is naive. I do think he believed. I think
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 9: that Israel convinced Trump that the people in Iran were
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 9: somehow standing by with rocks and sticks ready to take
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 9: over and run the IRGC out of power. I think
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 9: he may have bought that. I don't know. That's probably
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 9: the key miscalculation. But in terms of execution... You know,
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 9: they have destroyed thousands of locations inside Iran. They now
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 9: have the blockade up, which has been up since a
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 9: short time after the war started. You've got a country
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 9: now facing hyperinflation. They can't pay their government workers. They
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 9: can't pay the IRGC. They can't ship oil. They can't
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 9: ship other products. They can't import things. Yes, they have
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 9: cheap drones. Those are a very effective weapon. And they
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 9: have short-range missiles that are very accurate, somehow because of our...
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 9: are handcuffed to this military-industrial nightmare. We can't produce those things.
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 9: But to think that every day Iran gets stronger is
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 9: just stupid. They don't get stronger every day. Hyperinflation doesn't
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 9: make your country stronger. Now, I'm not looking for this
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 9: regime to collapse and, you know, have death in the streets.
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 9: That's Israel's goal. I don't care about that. Trump is
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 9: offering them a chance to have a better future. We
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 9: have to finish this thing. As we said, our choices
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 9: are walk away and deal with the outflow of that.
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 9: And that's not going to be pretty, right? Drop the nukes.
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 9: I just had somebody who told you a couple days
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 9: ago saying they want to drop the nukes. We've got
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 9: to finish this thing with the nukes.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 8: That's crazy.
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 9: Or execute the economic and kinetic warfare that is going
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 9: to help bring this thing to a close that is negotiated.
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 9: where we can get to something that's going to work
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 9: and work for the Gulf partners that we have over there, who,
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 9: by the way, are completely ineffective in any kind of warfare,
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 9: because we are their weapon. We're Israel's weapon, and the
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 9: Gulf Coast countries wholly depend on us for defense. Hence,
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 9: oil flows around the world. Now, this hasn't been a
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 9: four-year war. It certainly hasn't been a ten-year war.
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 6: It's been months.
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 9: Hopefully, they can resolve it. Now, don't forget, though, I
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 9: think the comment was made the other day, it's like
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 9: 30 million barrels are missing. That's just crazy. There were
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 9: 21 million barrels coming through the Gulf. Many of those
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 9: are now being shipped out through pipelines in Saudi Arabia.
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 9: UAE's got a pipeline coming south of the Strait. You've
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 9: got now 900,000 barrels a day more coming out of Venezuela.
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 9: That's that beautiful, heavy, thick stuff we like in our
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 9: refineries on the Gulf Coast. One of the greatest problems
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 9: we have is this California limit. destroying those refineries. So
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 9: whoever's in there bragging about how great California is, figure
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 9: it out. Do a little work. Now you've got also
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 9: the problem of the Ukrainians using drones and our weaponry,
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 9: NATO's weaponry, to take out Russian infrastructure for diesel, jet fuel,
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 9: and gasoline, which over a period of about three months,
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 9: four months, they stopped exporting. We needed those gallons in
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 9: the market.
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 1: That was stupid.
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 9: And it was done to increase the pressure on the
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 9: United States by our fake allies that are globalists that
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 9: are controlling europe this thing with.
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 8: Canada yeah they have more.
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 9: Than 200 tariffs on some u.s goods and yet somehow
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 9: we're supposed to what we're supposed to ignore that like
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 9: we always have continue to drain our economy run up
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 9: our debt so that canada can continue its third world
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 9: repopulation program that's crazy now canada's trying to realign with
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 9: europe because they aren't finding a way to get us
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 9: to subsidize the economy anymore Well, of course, the Europeans
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 9: need the Canadian resources, but what they really need is
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 9: to conquer Russia so they can live off of those resources, people,
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 9: and land, and use that to fix what they've done
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 9: to the economies in Europe, which are in deep distress.
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 9: On this thing with Japan, the way Besson executed that
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 9: move the other day was brilliant.
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 13: It was genius, really.
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 9: It didn't hurt us at all, and it allowed them
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 9: to not have this crisis with the... Yeah, well, Kevin
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 9: did a little bit. But let's be clear. They've been
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 9: running zero-interest economy, an artificially low interest rate for decades.
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 9: That economy has a problem in that it's on an island,
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 9: and it's got no raw materials. It's got high costs
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 9: because it's an island. They also have high labor costs.
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 9: So they have to ship everything in, convert it, and
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 9: ship it out if they're doing manufacturing. And that's what
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 9: the Japanese economy was built on post-World War II. I
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 9: don't know how this comes back to being Trump's fault.
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 9: But I think it was smart of the Senate to
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 9: make this move, hold $ 1. 2 or so trillion of our debt,
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 9: and we didn't want them liquidating that. That's just logical.
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 9: I don't understand the scandalous nature of this. So what
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 9: I'm saying is every little bullet point that could be
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 9: twisted or manipulated into being Trump sucks is being done,
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 9: and we're ignoring all the good things that happened. And then,
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 9: because we can't seem to have, you know, sort of
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 9: a fact-based conversation about the critical issues, we're just conflating
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 9: everything into one big emotional thing. That was the first
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 9: fracture in the Trump coalition. Those fractures continued as he
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 9: started to take down the deportations. And in response to
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 9: the media and, frankly, the fact that we didn't stand
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 9: up loudly enough to keep deporting, he began to drive
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 9: down those deportations. That took a backseat. We don't see
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 9: the same kind of numbers that we expected. We're way
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 9: behind on deportations. I don't know if he's yet caught
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 9: up to Obama. So that began to fracture the Trump coalition.
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 9: Then he came out with the H-1Bs and said, hey,
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 9: not so fast. That helped hurt the coalition. Then the
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 9: 600,000 Chinese students, listen, I want those people out of here.
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 9: I want American people in those seats. I want American
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 9: students being educated. And I don't care that the Chinese
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 9: Communist Party will pay more.
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 1: All right. At some point, we've got to pause here.
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, with all due respect on all of this,
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 1: in all reality, I mean, people aren't here to hear
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 1: a lecture. A college professor gave a lecture here on
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 1: how they should love Trump. And you don't understand.
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 9: It's not about how you should love Trump.
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 8: No, no, no.
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 1: Hang on. I'm not done yet. We listened. Everybody listened.
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 1: There's plenty of criticism about what Trump is doing. Plenty
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 1: of these people are criticizing the lack of leadership from
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 1: Trump when it comes to getting this agenda codified. Number one,
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 1: people are criticizing Trump. You know, you want to blow
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 1: off like gas prices. Oh, everybody's bitching because gas is
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 1: 430 gallons. This is real economic harm to our citizens.
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 9: I'm not willing to forget every single other thing.
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, but you won't let me finish the thought. We
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 1: sat here and we've listened for 20 minutes of you
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 1: talk about all of this stuff, like a college professor
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 1: to everybody on why you should love Trump and overlook
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 1: all of this stuff. Well, there's plenty of reasons why
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 1: people don't love Trump. Epstein was the first mistake he made,
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 1: and you admitted it was a huge mistake.
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 9: I just said that.
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 1: How he handled it.
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 9: I'm not giving you a lecture on loving Trump.
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 1: That's not what I'm doing.
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 8: No, no.
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 1: You're trying to say, well, you don't. So that was
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 1: a huge mistake he made. No one else, but he
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 1: made this mistake. The situation with this doesn't matter. Okay.
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 1: He owns it. Agreed. All right. So let me give
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 1: you a little reality. So the war situation, doesn't matter
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 1: whether it was Netanyahu, doesn't matter why he did it,
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 1: but he did it. Yes. And he got us into
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 1: this mess. And it is a mess. And quite frankly,
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 1: all Iran's got to do is survive. And guess what?
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 1: All of the BS that we've heard from him, that
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 1: everybody's heard from him, they're on the verge of surrendering.
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 1: They're going to give in. They didn't do it. The
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 1: 60-day truce. They want to reach an agreement. They didn't
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 1: do it. The next 60-day truce. We're going to bomb
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 1: them back to the Stone Age. Stop doing that. Now
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 1: we're going to get them economically. Everything keeps changing from
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 1: his strategy and what he's saying. From here to here
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 1: to here to here. It's almost like a scatterbrain approach.
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 1: And yet... Iran is sitting there saying, all we've got
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 1: to do is survive all of this. That's not what
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 1: they're doing, but I understand your point. But you're going
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 1: on with this. But that's where it is right now.
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 1: Because that's not what they're doing.
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 9: What they're doing now is saying, how do we pay
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 9: the IRGC? They are in deep distress. You know what?
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 1: We are in deep distress here with the American people.
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 1: If you don't see the deep distress that's out there
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 1: with the American people that are concerned about gas prices
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 1: and inflation, it's fine to say, OK, all this inflation.
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 1: You know, Trump created some of the inflation under COVID.
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 1: Trump issued checks under COVID. Biden added to it. But
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 1: even if you say whatever numbers you want to give, 3.4, 3.2, whatever,
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 1: is on top of the current inflation. It's the same
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 1: argument that Biden was making when it went from 5%
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 1: to 9%. Well, inflation, the Biden administration, you say, well,
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 1: inflation was down to 2.7. What are we saying this program?
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 1: But you're forgetting that's 2.7 on top of the already inflation.
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 1: It keeps going up. And so you can say whatever
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 1: you want about Trump and the inflation, it keeps adding
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 1: to it. I go back to say this to you.
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 1: You're losing the focus. The American people elected him. Not
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 1: at all. Yes, you are. They elected him.
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 9: I agree entirely with your comment. The question then is, okay,
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 9: so what is the analysis and what do we do
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 9: about it?
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 1: They elected him.
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 9: As long as Congress is spending trillions, we are going
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 9: to continue to have inflation. It's that simple. You know,
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 9: Trump removed a trillion-two in regulatory burdens with one executive order.
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 9: That's why we got inflation down. Congress spends an extra... Well,
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 9: he's brought it back.
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 1: He's brought it right back. So all I'm saying to
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 1: you is some of these mistakes he's made, he owns.
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 1: I was just reading an email. I've got to find it.
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 1: You know, G2, stop blaming Obama and Biden for everything.
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 1: I forget what I... I've got to go back and
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 1: find it. But needless to say.
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 9: If you don't blame Obama for the health care costs,
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 9: you're not paying attention to the Affordable Care Act.
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 1: But he owns it. At some point.
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 9: He owns the Affordable Care Act?
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 1: At some point, two years in, he owns a lot
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 1: of these decisions that he made.
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 9: Do you think Trump's responsible for the Affordable Care Act?
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not talking about the Affordable Care Act. I'm
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 1: talking about he owns it. At some point, he's got
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 1: to sit there and say, I failed the mission that
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 1: I got elected on, and there's a lot of pissed
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 1: off people that voted for me that are upset about it. Now,
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 1: they have a right to be upset about it. Of
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 1: course they do. That doesn't mean they're going to go
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 1: vote for Sherrod Brown. And it doesn't mean like if
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 1: this war was a mistake and a strait is closed
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 1: and oil prices continue to go up, at what point
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 1: do you assess what do we do now? Because he
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 1: put us in a position of we're doing this and
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 1: it didn't work. We're doing that and it didn't work.
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 1: Now we're going to do this and see if it works.
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 1: We're not going to be in this for a year.
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 1: The American public is not supportive of this, was not
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 1: asked about this. Congress wasn't asked about this. He wasn't
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 1: for these endless wars in the Middle East. And now
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 1: we're six months in. What do you want to be,
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 1: a year in? Is it okay? At what point do
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 1: you say, after eight months, a year, that this was
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 1: a mistake? To get the hell out of it.
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 9: This was a mistake on February 29th.
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 1: All right. But your answer is, at what point do
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 1: you say, he's done everything and Iran isn't rolling over.
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 1: They're not giving up. He kept telling us they're on
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 1: the verge of giving up. Those were all lies. They
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 1: were absolute lies. In other words, Trump talks all this
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 1: bull crap a lot of times, and it's meaningless. Well,
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 1: we got it now.
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 9: I don't listen as much to what he's saying as
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 9: you guys do, because I'm looking more at what's actually happening.
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 9: I know the truth is you don't think all the time.
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 1: You don't think.
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 9: And we know that's not true.
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 1: If you don't realize people are concerned about their own
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 1: financial situation in their household and what's going.
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 9: On right now, just as you realize that.
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 1: Just as they were concerned under Biden. Because I've said
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 1: this to you before.
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 9: And I think we should address the issues that are
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 9: affecting that.
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 1: You know what? But you're making the same argument. You're
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 1: trying to justify why you should still love Trump and
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 1: almost act like, so what are you bitching about, 430
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 1: a gallon gas? That's the only argument Biden was making
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 1: when gas.
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 6: Prices were high.
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 9: No, no, no, no, no, no. What I'm saying is
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 9: we have to stop being just emotional about this.
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 1: This is not emotional. People are. Why is it that
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 1: you had it? Why is it emotional?
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 9: We still have the war and we'd have a whole
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 9: lot of other big problems.
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 1: Why is it emotional if they disagree with you?
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 9: Why is it that they disagree? You listen to what
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 9: they're saying. They've set aside all of the things that
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 9: have happened. They are conflating all these things. It's a
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 9: gooey conversation now. It used to be just a few
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 9: months ago, a lot more fact-based. Now it's just repeating
• 2:15:50
  Speaker 9: what they hear on TV.
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 1: I don't agree with that.
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 9: That's where the conversation is going.
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 1: I don't agree with that.
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 14: And because this is the first war in our lifetimes.
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 9: We've had to pay for, we're very emotionally engaged in
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 9: this one. I was just pissed off at a black one.
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 1: I don't think that, I think it's insulting to every
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 1: listener out there to say, you only have the facts
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 1: and everyone else is emotional.
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 9: They all have the facts.
• 2:16:13
  Speaker 1: They all have the facts. They can disagree with your facts.
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 14: When you go up and talk about wages being.
• 2:16:18
  Speaker 9: The determining factor on where a product is manufactured, that's
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 9: just not it.
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 1: Listen, I told that guy about that. We put that
• 2:16:25
  Speaker 1: behind us. We are not here to prosecute each caller.
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 1: That was his opinion. He was wrong. We move on
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 1: from it. Okay? And we talked about tariffs and jobs.
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 1: But by God to sit here and try to act like,
• 2:16:41
  Speaker 1: you know, hey, folks out there, all of you that
• 2:16:43
  Speaker 1: are affected by this inflation, these high gas prices, you're
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 1: all being emotional. That isn't emotional. That's an economic reality
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 1: in every damn one of those households right now.
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 9: Yes, and I'm not happy about it. Not one bit.
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 1: But you want everybody just to say, suck it up.
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 1: We stopped fentanyl. And if you've got to pay $ 5
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 1: a gallon, suck it up. They're not going to suck
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 1: it up. Hang on. Back with G2.
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 14: That's not what I'm saying.
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 1: Back in a minute. iHeartRadio. Talk Station 570 WKBN. Back
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 1: to it with G2 News Radio 570 WKBN. My point is...
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 1: It's insulting to anyone that disagrees with you. And I
• 2:17:26
  Speaker 1: will always give airtime to the people who disagree because
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 1: there are differing views and opinions from people's experiences in life.
• 2:17:34
  Speaker 1: And to discount them as, oh, they're just all being
• 2:17:37
  Speaker 1: emotional because they don't agree with you is wrong and arrogant.
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 1: And people have a right to say they are concerned
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 1: about this war and this mess and the energy situation.
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 1: and what's going on in this country and where this
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 1: is all headed. And no, you shouldn't be concerned about
• 2:17:59
  Speaker 1: that because he did something about fentanyl.
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 14: But Ron, that's not what I'm saying.
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 9: What I'm saying is I also am unhappy about the
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 9: gas price. As you well know, I did not support
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 9: them going into this war or RAC 1 or RAC 2, Kuwait,
• 2:18:13
  Speaker 9: none of it. I did not support that. I think
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 9: that was a mistake, both in timing and purpose. It
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 9: was not for us. I think the Epstein thing was
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 9: a mistake. We talked about that. But I do think
• 2:18:23
  Speaker 9: that not having 400,000 more dead people from fentanyl is
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 9: good and hundreds of thousands fewer children raped is good.
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 9: I think having trillions of dollars of regulations reduced is good.
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 9: I'm not saying disregard what you're angry about. And it's
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 9: great that you put on opposing voices. That's fabulous. What
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 9: I'm saying is let's not lose sight of everything for
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 9: one thing.
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 1: But maybe one thing can overshadow everything else.
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 9: You're saying a $ 4 gas price overshadows hundreds.
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 14: Of thousands of late children?
• 2:18:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm saying perhaps. And we don't know until we
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 1: get to the midterms. We don't know.
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 14: The midterms are, look, these guys are in deep trouble.
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 1: But if he destroys... If he puts the Democrats in charge,
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 1: go look in the mirror. He's to blame. And the
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 1: agenda gets shot in the ass because of him and
• 2:19:13
  Speaker 1: because of what he did. And the next two years
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 1: will be a living hell. And he can't be blaming
• 2:19:19
  Speaker 1: me or anybody else. He better go look in the mirror.
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 1: He better figure out, maybe I made a big mistake.
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe I misread everything here. The same thing the Democrats did.
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 9: No, I think he knows who he's reacting to. The
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 9: first mistake was the Republicans in Congress refusing to take
• 2:19:35
  Speaker 9: up our agenda and carry it forward. That's where this
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 9: began to crack. That's going to culminate in what happens
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 9: in these midterms, and I think it's going to be brutal.
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 9: And I do not think that thinking people are going
• 2:19:43
  Speaker 9: to go vote for Sharon Brown. I pray to.
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 1: God they won't. I hope to God they wouldn't. But
• 2:19:50
  Speaker 1: I keep reading the Democrats got the momentum on their side,
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 1: and there's a lot of Republicans. He's pissed off. Trump
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 1: is pissed off and turned on that they're not enthusiastically
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 1: going to go out and vote.
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 9: And it's not just Trump. I mean, we spent a
• 2:20:08
  Speaker 9: year complaining about Johnson not advancing the agenda and spending money.
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 1: Trump's going to get to this whole cabal. It's going
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 1: to come back to bite him. We shall see. All right, G2.
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 9: It's going to bite the Republican Party in the ass
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 9: in the midterm.
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 1: And that will hurt Trump.
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 9: Yes, and mostly, guess what? It hurts us.
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 1: That is right. So maybe you have to sit back
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 1: and say, was this a mistake and do we continue this?
• 2:20:33
  Speaker 1: To go down the same road of this mistake. I
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 1: don't know. We shall see. We'll talk more tomorrow or
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 1: tomorrow's Wednesday. Tomorrow, Wednesday, we should be able to talk
• 2:20:41
  Speaker 1: more with you, too. We'll hoot, holler, argue, throw things
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 1: at the wall.
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 9: Fantastic.
• 2:20:46
  Speaker 14: I love it.
• 2:20:48
  Speaker 1: Sorry, Ryan. On NewsRadio 570, nobody came yet. Thanks. Have
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 1: a good night, everybody. Guys, if you want the greatest
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 1: night of your life.
