  Speaker 1: 406 News Radio 570 WKBN and Ron Furb.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Till 7 tonight. Hello there. Go ahead, please.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, I was talking before I get to Marjorie Taylor Greene.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: I want to, you know, election day is next week.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: I never vote early because I'm still doing research.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: And I research all of the new levies that they're
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: putting on. People seem to complain about real estate taxes
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: all the time. But whenever they put a new... two
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: point five bill levy on its yes right across the
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: board for everybody it it dumbfounds me but uh... i'm
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: in trumbull county i'm in liberty i called uh... dave
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: choices office today in washington and one of the local
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: offices trying to get some information the staff it couldn't
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: be polite or they were very nice young ladies but
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: as soon as you started asking questions about policy and
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: what What David Joyce has done, they just, you know,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: refer you to the campaign. They can't answer those questions.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: The questions I had with Joyce were if he took
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: money from AIPAC and if he voted with the Democrats
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: on the transgender issues that I know he did. But
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: they wouldn't answer the questions. I talked to two different people.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: So I think I'm going to probably go with... Nikki
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Frenchco for my congressperson.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: How long has Dave Joyce been there? Has he been
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: in Congress?
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: No, Dave Joyce has been there a long time. He's
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: a career congressman. He's only been my congressman since they
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: redistricted the area here. And they cut down into this
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: little sliver of Trumbull County.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I think he's been in Congress like 30 years. I've
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: got to double-check myself.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: But I mean..
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: He's a big... He takes a lot of money from AIPAC.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: And that's one of the things that Marjorie Taylor Greene
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: talked about. She said, we're $ 39 trillion in debt. We
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: can't afford all of the foreign policy, foreign aid that
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: we're giving. And the Congress people that she knows are
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: all putting the domestic needs of you and me on
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the back burner. And they're putting foreign policy and foreign
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: aid first. And then she went in to go with
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: issues like immigration, seemed to be going on the back burner,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: job displacement from AI, which is a very big problem,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: she said.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Dave Joyce was first elected in November 2012. So it's
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: been 12, 13, 14 years? 13 years?
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Right, so he's been there a while.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think just on the... And then she brought
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: up the AIPAC issue again. I'm not anti-Semitic. The one
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: guy's caller the other day said that I was anti-Semitic.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I get tired of the attacks for people on that.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: When people are talking about AIPAC, they're talking about a
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: lobbyist group which has a great deal of influence and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: buys a lot of influence with politicians. And to be
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: critical of it doesn't make you anti-Semitic or anything. It
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: makes you a concerned American saying, just like you should
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: be about any lobbyist group that buys influence. You should
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: be concerned about all of them. And there shouldn't be
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a taboo to speak out against one with some label
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: that you're anti-Semitic.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's many people who think AIPAC has too
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: much power. You're speaking out.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Against the country. You're speaking out against a lobbying group,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: not a person individually or a religious group.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: Correct.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: Correct.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: The only person that is not taking money right now
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: in the Republican Party in Congress is Tom Massey from Kentucky.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: The other ones were Marjorie Taylor Greene, who's gone, and Gates,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: who's gone. And so I looked up, I said, I
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: can't believe that every Republican is taking money from that
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: lobby except one. And there's a, you can track it,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: it's called track AIPAC, and it gives you the breakdown
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: of of every dollar amount that the Congress people get.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: And I was surprised to see Mike Rooley got $ 38, 547
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: from AIPAC. But the big players in Ohio are like
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Jim Jordan.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: He got $ 243, 000.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Mike Turner, $ 228, 000. They're on the big committees, the Intelligence
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Committee and Judicial.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: But..
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: It really disappointed me that all of our Republicans are
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: not listening to the people and they're listening to our
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: lobbying group. And it's just not APAC. It's other lobbying groups,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: pharmaceuticals and everything. They take money from everybody.
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: But I mean, it's it's why you say I think
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: it's why people voted for Trump. People say, OK, when
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: are when am I going to get the attention? And
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: when when will it be America first? And that's why
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: people voted for Trump. But it seems like Trump somewhere
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: along the way has a little bit, in my opinion,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: lost his way that that he needs to refocus on
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: America first affordability, inflation overall. energy prices, and deporting all
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: these people that have come here illegally. You're not hearing
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: much anymore these days about ICE, about people being rounded
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: up and showing the door out of this country who
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: came here illegally. It seems like that's kind of vanished
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: to a large extent. Listen, get back on the America
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: First agenda. That's why you were elected. And if you don't,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I think you'll pay a dear price in the midterms,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: which is shocking to me because As bad as Trump
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: can be on this affordability issue at this time, he's
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: way better than any Democrat choice.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, for sure. Could you see Kamala right now?
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: No.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: What shape would you be in if she was president?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Listen, I don't know how you could vote for any
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Democrat because you go right back to the crazy agenda.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Men can have babies and tampons in men's bathrooms and
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: transgenderism and all this craziness. That's where the Democrat Party is,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the far-left Democrat Party, and higher taxes. And remember, we're
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: only going to tax the rich. But when they get
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: in power, they raise property taxes in Virginia. They raise
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: them in New York. So it's not just the rich.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: They tax the productive and want to hand it out
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to illegals and everybody else. So the alternative, there isn't
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: an alternative. Trump and the Republicans are still the best
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: at this. I just want Trump to refocus back on affordability,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and I want him to focus on getting people out
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: of the country that are here illegally.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Yes, and I go back to saying that I was
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: disappointed that he took information from Israel as a government
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: on the war. I think it was a big mistake.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: And what he's doing now, he's pushing the timeline out.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: He just today said they're going to reconsider bombing Israel.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: and moving the timeline out, I go back too much.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Well, see, I don't understand that because here's the mixed signals.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: They keep telling me Iran wants to make a deal,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Iran wants to make a deal, Iran wants to make
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: a deal. Well, then if they want to make a
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: deal and you keep telling me that, why you got
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to go back to doing more bombing and pushing the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: timeline out?
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: So what's fact and what's fiction?
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Is Iran willing to make a deal, or is Iran saying, no,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: we're not interested in doing any of this stuff?
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Well, therein lies the problem. We got bad intelligence, and
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: we were told, Israel said, take out all of their leaders.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Take out all of the top people. Well, now we
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: have no one to negotiate with. So that's making it
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: more difficult to carry on negotiations.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I would like to see it come to a conclusion.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: uh a successful conclusion because you're in it this deep
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: i mean there's no point in debating whether or not
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: we should have been there in the first place or
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: how this got started the reality is it's it's here
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: now so how do we solve this problem and reach
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: a conclusion to where things can get back to normal
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and we can focus on five dollar gallon gas is
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: ridiculous but it's not just us i mean you're going
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to have major problems as far as fertilizer is concerned
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you're going to have A lot of people don't, I think,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: pay attention. You're going to have large sections of the
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: world that are going to have serious problems.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: With food and starvation.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: You are going to have serious problems in other countries
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: because of this effort. Like you said, starvation is kind
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: of stuff. And the fertilizer issue. I was just reading,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I think it was on CNBC or one of the sources,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: where recycled plastics are back in fashion because of the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: problems in the Middle East. I don't know what we
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: get through the Strait or whatever is going on, but
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: But there's issues with plastic and the cost of petroleum
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and all of that kind of jazz.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: So everything's a mess. Let me put it this way.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Everything is a mess right now. It is just a mess.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Except the market. The market is so resilient. It amazes
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: me every day. I said, it can't get any better
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: with this bad news. I said, it's taken all of
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: the bad news and hit new record highs. And if
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: you look at Apple... this morning. It's a big pop-up
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: on their earnings, one of the MAG7 stocks. I sold
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: out of the money calls on that big information. But
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I was thinking of that young fellow that called you.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: What do I do? How do I get in the market?
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: I'm in my 20s. I was just going to tell him,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: you want to get in the market. You always want
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: to be in the market. And you know, for the
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: long term and just hang it, you know, go through
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: the ups and downs, and you'll come out okay. And
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: then the other caller that mentioned the one politician that
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: was married four times. I thought that was funny. OK,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: but Mickey Rooney was married eight times. Johnny Carson was
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: married four times. They were both nice people. So, you know,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: it doesn't your marital status has nothing to do with
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: if you're going to be a good politician.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just reading here the headlines on CNBC. Oil
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: prices fall after Iran sends updated peace proposal to mediators
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: in Pakistan. So I hope that that is accurate, and
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I hope that that is something that we'll be able
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to find agreeable to. And then the next headline, U.S.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: oil prices will exceed Iran wartime high to above 125
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: a barrel as conflict drags on, this Kalishi trader says. So,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, these are the two headlines, one right after
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the other. I mean, you are correct. S & P
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: closes at new records, Tasha, in May as oil prices
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: cool and Apple rises. Jobs and earnings will dominate the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: first full week of May. And then, like it says,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: it says oil prices fall after Ron sends updated peace
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: proposal to mediators in Pakistan. I hope you got to
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: concede one thing. The people that are calling the shots
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: know way more than we do. And hopefully they are
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: close to reaching some type of an agreement that's acceptable
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to Trump and it's acceptable to Iran. And we can
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: get back to working on affordability and get back to $ 2.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: 50 a gallon, right?
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be nice. That would be nice.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Yep. Thank you.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it. You're on here.
• 11:52
  Speaker 8: Hi, Ron.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Uh, It's, you know, when he just talked today,
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: he said that, talking to the reporter, he said, should
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: we bomb them or should I wait? I mean, this is...
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: He thinks he's playing games.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I think he's not playing games. I think he's
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: negotiating in public.
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: What is the whole thing when everybody says he's waiting
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: to make a deal? What deal is it? Well, I
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: don't know.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I'm reading a headline here today. Oil prices fall after
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Iran sends updated peace proposal to mediator in Pakistan. So
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: maybe by saying, do we start the bombing up again,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: it gets Iran to say, okay, let's put another proposal
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: on the table and start the talks again.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe it moves the process along.
• 12:41
  Speaker 8: What is the war about then, Ron? Again, I asked
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: you that question yesterday. If it's the regime change or
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: is it, and Hedstead said to Congress that we're winning
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: the war, and they've been decimated, but they still have the,
• 12:58
  Speaker 8: what word did he use?
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: The dust. The dust.
• 13:02
  Speaker 9: The dust.
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: And it gets upsetting because, you know, so they want
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: 47 virgins when they die.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: You know, come on.
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: I mean, it's, you know, and Richard's become quite radical.
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: He really has. He's been talking and talking about today
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: people not wanting to, people are bums. Like they've said
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: that me and Emmanuel and that we don't want to
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: hand up. We want to hand out. I don't want
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: to freaking hand up. I don't understand. I don't understand it.
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: And I guarantee you that he paid for his kid's education.
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: People that are in debt to student loans are paid
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: for themselves.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: What's wrong with that?
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: I'm not saying there's anything wrong, but he has no
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: position to tell somebody when his own kids did maybe
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: pay for it. I don't know for sure, so I'm
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: not going to make an accusation. And Biden didn't want
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: people to just get rid of their loans. They wanted
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: to be able to stop the interest on them so
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: that they could get..
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Well, now tap the brakes, sir. Tap the brakes.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Remember, Biden was forgiving student debt, totally wiping it off
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the books.
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: But we know that that wasn't going to be the case.
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: We knew that he wasn't going to be able to
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: do that. Nobody even wanted to give it a second
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: thought because we were giving something to somebody. But then
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: you guys say, well, we can't have these young people
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: like Alec called in and said he can't maybe get
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: a home because of certain things. I mean, you know,
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: you can't say that we want to help people and
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: work for the young people and then we don't want
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: to give them an opportunity. You know, I mean, most
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: people that have student loans are people between 34 and
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: 45 or 50 years old. And those people are professionals.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: They're doctors.
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: They're nurses. People in the medical field, engineering field. And
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: they can't get ahead. They're not even able to pay
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: the interest on their loans. And those loan companies took
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: advantage of those people when they were 18 years old.
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: And I'm not saying that you've got to..
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: 425 in the afternoon, NewsRadio 570, Dodie KVN. Ron Furb
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: from the Kingdom of Mahoning, you're on the air.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: Boy, there's a big bunch of topics out there today,
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: isn't there?
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir, there is.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Am I, oh my. Well, I hate to... I'm going
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: to do this. I don't, Trump is not going to
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: win at this thing with Iran. Already Iran is the
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: proxy for Russia and China. And all we've got to
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: say is, look at what he did to us. He
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: put tariffs on, he took them off. Put them on,
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: took them off. Put them on, took them off. And
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: the people that, and when you say lesser government, the
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: thing that bothers me is now they're catching some of
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: the people that did huge amounts of fraud because there
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: wasn't enough people out there to check it. Trump had
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: no idea what he's going to do here with Iran.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: And I can't say that I believe him because he doesn't.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: He says he's got a plan, but he never really
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: tells you about it because he doesn't want to tell
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: them about it or he doesn't have any. And Iran's
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: not going to deal with the United States. They hated
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: us for how long? This was a mess. This is
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: a total mess. And now the whole world's paying for it.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Gas in England, $ 9 an hour, $ 9 a gallon. And
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: we're paying, what, almost $ 5? All because of this nonsense,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: because he thought he was going to go in and
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: bully his way through because he did it in Venezuela.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: I just, he's got this all messed up. If you
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: take a look at it, he graduated. His dad gave
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: him a million dollars. He messed that up. His dad
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: had to come in and bail him out of a problem.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: And then he started filing for bankruptcies on other properties
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: and stuff. It's just, it makes no sense. And the
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Bitcoin thing, up and down, now it's there, now it's
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: in the negative, now it's in the positive. I don't
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: see anything happening. And his son-in-law going over trying to
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: broker a deal with these people. They're not going to
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: broker a deal with a Jew. They hate Jews. So I,
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: but every, six months later you hear about where he
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: managed to get, Jared managed to get a whole big $ 20,
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: $ 10 million or $ 30 million loan from other countries. So
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: is he over there talking money, or is he over
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: there trying to do something?
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: At any point, do you sit back and say, okay,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: let's just forget why it started or whether it should
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: have or not, because you've got to deal with the
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: reality that it's here. But do you ever sit back
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and say to yourself, okay, it seems militarily... that they've
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: accomplished a lot. Our military's been very dominant as far
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: as the skies and the seas and the bombing campaign
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: and the lack of artillery that's being fired back. So
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: wouldn't you say that seems pretty successful? The blockade seems
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: to be working pretty good, and it's putting a stranglehold
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: on Iran. They're not sitting in a great position. position
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: right now they they're in serious they got serious issues
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: as far as their economy is concerned and supplies stand
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: by i'm gonna stand by i'm gonna come right back
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: to you i gotta do my headlines and we'll continue
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: our conversation news radio 570 wkbn 4.35, NewsRadio 570, WKBN, Chile,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: on this May 1st, 44 degrees.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: So I'd go back and ask you the question.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, I listened to what you were saying about
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: all of this, and it pretty much is a waste
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: of time to debate whether or not we should have
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: got into it in the first place or not. The
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: reality is we're in it. And would you not say
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: just based as an American, as you sit back and watch,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: it seems our military has done a pretty impressive job
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: as far as the bombing campaign and and the lack
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: of military fights, I guess, that you see from Iran
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: right now, that they've done a pretty good job as
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: far as that is concerned, and the blockade seems to
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: be pretty effective, too. I mean, you almost, in your comments,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: give me the impression you think Iran is winning.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Well, they are not.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: They're devastated as far as their country is concerned, as
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: far as their military is concerned, and... Their economy is devastated.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: They're in a terrible place. And that's why they say
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: as this goes on, as blockade goes on, it can
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: bring an agreement. that's favorable to them and to the
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: United States. I mean, there's a headline I was reading
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: earlier today, oil prices fall after Iran sends updated peace
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: proposal to mediators in Pakistan. So just maybe there is
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: a possibility it's working.
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: Comment?
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: I can't see that, because every time they turn around
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: and say, we're going to do this, they settle down.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: The United States ain't going to bomb them no more.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: But you're fighting against a country that hates America for everything.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: But then on top of that, they're the 11th strongest military,
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: the 11th strongest military in the world. So we throw bombs,
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: they're going to start throwing stuff back at other countries
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: in the Middle East and everywhere. Over a nuclear bomb?
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: Why does Israel need a nuclear bomb? Why did China
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: need a nuclear bomb? China got one, then Pakistan got one.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: We took the bombs, the bombs come out of Ukraine,
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: and now Russia's in there just bombing the hell out
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: of everything. If they had a nuclear bomb, do you
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: think Russia would try to do anything?
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: No.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: No.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: They wouldn't have.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: So in essence, your argument, just so I understand your argument,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: you're saying, who are we as the United States to
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: tell another country like Iran whether or not they can
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: have a nuclear weapon or not?
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Is that an accurate statement?
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Seems like everybody wants one. And they're just using it
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: for a deterrent matter, hopefully, compared to God, or any God.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: They're using it for a deterrent, because you figure India
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: and that impacts, they were They were fighting, and they're
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: still fighting.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: All right, so I'm just trying to get a read
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: on your thinking. You're, in essence, saying, who are we
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: to tell them they're a different country, whether or not
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: they can have a nuclear weapon? And then you're saying
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: that you think that this thing is going to just
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: drag on, in your opinion?
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: I believe, yes, it's going to drag on until finally
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: Trump's not in there, or... Trump's just going to give up.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: He's going to say, we won. We didn't win anything.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: We didn't win a thing except loss of American soldiers.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: And we're in Saudi Arabia or Iraq.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Well, we didn't lose very many soldiers. But, I mean,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: from a military standpoint, it's done well. You just don't
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: think that it's going to work out in the long run.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I mean..
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: They don't care. But he should have never stepped in
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: there and done that. It makes no sense. All these people,
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: what are we fighting over? We're not fighting over the
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: people that are starving. We're not fighting over the people
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: that need medical attention. What we're fighting over is a
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: nuclear bomb. And think of it. If one shoots off
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: a nuclear bomb, how many other countries are going to
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: start shooting theirs off? Now we've got a mess on
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: our hands. And then when Russia goes on to talk nuclear,
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: he's just rattling his sword like the Pillsbury Doughboy in
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: North Korea.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: All right, so in your opinion, the whole thing was
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: a mistake from the very beginning.
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: Yes, sir.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: He should have thought about it or got the correct
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: people instead of the yes people, because when it all fails,
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: Trump can't take the rap. Oh, no, it wasn't my fault.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: People told me the wrong thing, and that's his state.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: What did you think about this, Mr. Trump, when somebody
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: said something? Oh, I don't even know what you're talking about.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: And here he's supposed to be what? The CEO? The
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: boss hog? I voted for him the first time, and
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: I got halfway through his first. And I said, what
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: in the world did I take on this guy? All
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: of a sudden, the debt in the United States escalates,
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: and it continuously does. It's hurting everybody. I mean, he's
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: going after things that are going to help people that
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: need food, medical attention. We're closing down these non-profit hospitals
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: and doctors' offices throughout the United States. All over the
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: place because he keeps pulling the money off.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: For people that need it.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Luckily, you and I and a lot of us don't.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: But what about the ones that can't? And when I
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: ask my grandkids about who did you vote for, you
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: know what the first answer comes out of all of
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: their mouths?
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: They're all crooked.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: They don't care about me. They could care less about me.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: They only care about how they can make money.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: There you have it. All right. I appreciate your thoughts today.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it. NewsRadio 570.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: Don't you care?
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: And you're on the air.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: Hello.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Yes. Yes.
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: Hello? Yes.
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: We're calling about a rally tomorrow for Hannah. It's my
• 25:03
  Speaker 10: friend's son that passed away.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: She's on her way over here. Can you hold on
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: a second?
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: You're calling about a rally?
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: Yeah, we're calling about a rally for my friend's son, Hannah.
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: And it's going to be 12 to 4 tomorrow.
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 25:22
  Speaker 8: Hello, Mr.
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: Romberg.
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: I'm Carolyn Morgan. I am Hannah Sassi's mother. He fell
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: and died in hospital care in St. Elizabeth, downtown Youngstown
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: Mercy Health Hospital. He was told to get up and
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: practice walking if he wanted to go home, even though
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: he was on massive blood thinners and didn't have the
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: strength to do so. They left him filthy dirty. They
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: left buckets of defecation and urine on his tray table
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: for days at a time. He was thirsty and wanted
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: to come home, but they wouldn't let him because they
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: entered our son at 26 years old into a trial
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: test study experiment for remdesivir. Ohio got 100 vials of it.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Now pause for a second. When did this happen?
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: Well, he fell on.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: October 17th of 2021.
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: He fell.
• 26:26
  Speaker 10: How old was he when he fell?
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: 26 years old.
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: He had just turned 26.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: And how did he fall?
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: They left him sitting at the edge of the bed
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: on the 17th of October.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Why was he in the hospital?
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry?
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: You're not answering my questions. I don't know anything about
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: what you're talking about. Why was your son in the
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: hospital in the first place?
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: My son went to the hospital because he had a
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: little bit of upper respiratory, a little short of breathing.
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: He wanted to get checked out. He didn't know what
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: it was or if it was serious. It could have
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: been bronchitis. It could have been anything.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: All right, so he went to the hospital.
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: He tested non-detected for COVID.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: So he tested for COVID.
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: Sorry, go ahead.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Just answer my questions, please. So you're saying he tested
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: positive for COVID, correct?
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: Negative.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Negative.
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: Non-detected.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: All right. Then why do they give him remdesivir?
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: Because on the paper of his medical records, it says
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: that the result was edited, now detected, after they removed
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: two nurses from his care. All right.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: So based on what you're saying, instead of talking to me,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: if you feel that you've received an injustice or improper care,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: why don't you hire a lawyer?
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: Well, we did, and that's why we are having this rally.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Well, don't you think instead of having a rally, you
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: should hire a malpractice attorney if you feel that your
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: son got malpractice or was a victim of malpractice?
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: Oh, absolutely, and I just told that to you.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Did you get an attorney?
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: Yes, we did.
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: And the attorney filed the case.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: Downtown Mahoney County.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: So what do you want? Then why are you calling me?
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Isn't this a matter for the courts to decide whether
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: or not?
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: Well, why we're calling you is because we're having a
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: rally in front of the hospital down there Saturday and Sunday,
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: May 2nd, May 3rd, from noon to 4. And many
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: people told me to call you so that you can
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: put the word out there or people can hear about this.
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: Because it's not only my son that fell and died
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: in the hospital. This happened a week and a half
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: ago to another person's loved one. They don't put the
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: guardrail up. The other person fell out of bed and
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: broke their neck and died and was left to die
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: on the floor. The same as my son. They did
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: not lay him back down and put the guardrail up.
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: They left him sitting at the edge of the bed
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: and told him he would have to practice walking if
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: he wanted to get home. He tried to do as
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: they told him to do. He took a few steps
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: after he got up and he literally fell. timbered over,
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: cracked his head on the floor, suffered a subdural hematoma.
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: The hospital records are faked. They have been adulterated. We
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: have proof.
• 29:40
  Speaker 10: Of that for.
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: Example they said that they resuscitated him after seven minutes
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: which is a lie because deeper in.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: The record you understand i'm not a judge here to
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: hear to hear your case i Okay, but you're going
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: on with this, and I'm hearing your side of it.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not hearing the other side and their defense of it.
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's nothing.
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: Why don't you promote it? That's the only.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Hospital we have in this area.
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: Trumbull is closed. Northside is closed. Southside Rehabilitation is closed.
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: And people are falling and dying in St. Elizabeth Mercy
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: Health downtown Youngstown.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: All right, in your opinion, all right. That is my.
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: Opinion, and I have the proof. So if you want
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: to cover for them, too, that's on you.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: But at least the people should know. Will you be
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: quiet for a minute and actually listen?
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: Why don't you stop being rude?
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: I don't want to hear anymore. You're on the air.
• 30:43
  Speaker 9: Yes, hello?
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, hi.
• 30:46
  Speaker 9: I want to talk about local politics.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 30:50
  Speaker 9: Change always starts local, right? through the local politics. We
• 30:57
  Speaker 9: have some Republicans that were hired locally. They said they
• 31:00
  Speaker 9: were going to change things, right? Some of them actually
• 31:05
  Speaker 9: went down the Mar-a-Lago with Trump.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: Trump hasn't been up in this area since he was elected.
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: I don't see any change happening. All I see is
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: $ 60 million being agreed upon to fix some government buildings.
• 31:26
  Speaker 9: And this is a very poor community.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: I mean, I am Republican, but I don't see the
• 31:34
  Speaker 9: local Republican politicians doing anything.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: You don't see them doing anything as far as..
• 31:43
  Speaker 9: We're the new businesses. We're the new... I mean, we
• 31:47
  Speaker 9: had a road on Western Reserve that has been blocked
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: for a couple years, a Sparkles had to close because
• 31:58
  Speaker 9: they couldn't get any business. You know, they need to
• 32:03
  Speaker 9: get involved in things like that.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, so..
• 32:08
  Speaker 9: I mean, they have talking points just like the Democrats.
• 32:11
  Speaker 9: They're all in it together, in my opinion. Once they
• 32:15
  Speaker 9: get into office, they can't do anything, it seems like.
• 32:20
  Speaker 9: It's just... They're just chasing their tails constantly. We have
• 32:25
  Speaker 9: a governor who I think is more of a Democrat
• 32:28
  Speaker 9: than a Republican. And all he cares about are the
• 32:32
  Speaker 9: AI centers going into these local communities. I mean, it's
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: a joke.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: All right. So what's your solution?
• 32:46
  Speaker 9: The solution is we need to be honest about who
• 32:50
  Speaker 9: we're electing. I mean, they say they're going to change things,
• 32:54
  Speaker 9: but all they say is, I can't do anything about that.
• 32:57
  Speaker 9: We already agreed upon this money.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you're elected to.
• 33:02
  Speaker 9: Fight these people, so this money isn't agreed upon.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: So you think on a local level, the Republicans go along.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: You can't tell a difference, basically, you're saying on a
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: local level, between a Republican that's elected and a Democrat, correct?
• 33:17
  Speaker 9: No, most of the Republicans are... old Democrats that had
• 33:23
  Speaker 9: to become Republicans to get elected.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 33:27
  Speaker 9: I mean, these people would have been Democrats 20 years ago.
• 33:31
  Speaker 9: But now that public opinion has switched, they're kind of
• 33:36
  Speaker 9: forced to go that way. But they still do the
• 33:39
  Speaker 9: same things. They want your tax dollars. Oh, we need
• 33:42
  Speaker 9: your tax. We still need this money. We still need
• 33:45
  Speaker 9: this money. For what? To build... To build... more government buildings.
• 33:53
  Speaker 9: What does that do for the people?
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: It doesn't do anything.
• 33:56
  Speaker 9: It's just a, it's, it's a joke.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: So they don't fix the roads.
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: They don't do anything.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're all over the map on this kind
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: of stuff. Basically, if I had to sum up what
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: you're saying to me is you, you can't, you're looking
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: for a more aggressive Republican that, that you can tell
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: a difference between their philosophy and the Democrat.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Is that an accurate statement?
• 34:20
  Speaker 9: Exactly. I just think once they get in there.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: They find out it's a battle. All right.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: So you're saying where's the fight in local Republicans to
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: actually change things? You're not seeing it. The second thing
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: you brought up is Western Reserve Road. And that's a
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: major project out there. I don't think politicians can do
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: much about it. If you if you actually looked at
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: what was taking place at Western Reserve Road, as far
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: as the tear out and putting in the storm drains
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: and they had to move the telephone poles and They're
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: putting in all new infrastructure under the roadway in addition
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: to the roadway. It is not a project that happens
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: in the blink of an eye. I don't know what
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: politicians can do. It simply takes a long time to
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: fix a road that was in that condition and bring
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: it up to a better standard.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: What do you want them to do?
• 35:12
  Speaker 9: I agree, but they're supposed to improve infrastructure. To bring
• 35:18
  Speaker 9: in business. It seems like when they do these projects,
• 35:20
  Speaker 9: they lose business.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Well, these projects take time. I mean, when I hear
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: people complain about it, it's unfortunate. I mean, if you
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: like those particular businesses, they were still available. The road
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: wasn't closed. You just had to, you could still go there.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: But keep in mind, I don't know if that's why
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Sparkle closed down. I don't know if that, I'm sure
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: it was a factor in it, but also Myers came
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: and there's a lot of competition.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: I'll be right back. 570 WKBN.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Ron Furr, back to it. News Radio 570 WKBN. Okay,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: onward we go.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: You're on the air.
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: Hey, Ron, I was listening to you on the caller before, JJ.
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: You guys brought up the name of APEC.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: And it's kind of funny because I live here in
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: north at Tabula. And there's a company called APEC circling
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: around here to get land for windmills. And they're trying
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: to acquire property to bring these windmills in. And you
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: guys were saying that they were more of a lobbyist group?
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: He was talking about a lobbyist group for Israel, not
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: for windmills.
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, because I was doing research on it and
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: trying to get all my facts together, I guess.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Where do they want to put windmills in Ashtabula?
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: They're going to a lot of the local farmers and stuff,
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: and they're trying to acquire around 12,000 acres of property.
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: And from what I just heard is that they pretty
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: much got it, and they're going to be setting up
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: an office in Jefferson.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: 12,000 acres?
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and they've just about got it through the local.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: That's a lot of acreage.
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, from what I understand, it's going to be a
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: natural wind farm, and they're going to put them all
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: together and stuff. The reason this all happened is because the,
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: Senator in 2017 changed the setback laws from 1,300 feet
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: from a roadway and power lines and stuff, and now
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: they changed them to..
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised anybody could buy that much acreage that it
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: would even be available.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, it seems like it would be a huge expense.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: They're not buying it.
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: They're leasing it.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, I see.
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: It's on a lease.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: I got you.
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: And going through our local township and stuff, and the
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: zoning guy, I talked to him, and they were trying
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: to put... zoning restrictions on to stop them. But now
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: come to find out that they're going to the state.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Stand by for a minute. Stand by for one minute.
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: From ABC News, I'm Brian Clark. What does the future
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: hold for Spirit Airlines? The Wall Street Journal reports that
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: the airline is preparing to cease operations on Saturday. That
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: would be disappointing for travelers like Marcus Stringer.
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: Spirit has always been the best of them.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: I always play spirit, so I don't think nothing that's
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: better than spirit.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: President Trump told reporters at the White House he was
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: still considering a government bailout. Purdue Pharma has dissolved. The
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: maker of OxyContin has ceased operations today as part of
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: a $ 7. 4 billion settlement and bankruptcy plan. The Sackler family,
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: which owned Purdue, will pay $ 1. 5 billion today and make
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: more payments over the next three years. No members of
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: the family have faced any criminal charges for Purdue's role
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: in the opioid epidemic, which is blamed for over 900,000 deaths.
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: President Trump's on the road for the first time since
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: authorities say a 31-year-old man tried to harm him at
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: the White House Correspondents' Dinner last weekend.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: He's in Florida. So they want me to be in
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: a secure place. I said, what's more secure than the villages?
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: Getting a warm welcome and speaking before the crowd at
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: the age-restricted community. As he left the White House, he
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: said that military strikes on Iran could continue.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: So they want to make a deal, but I don't,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not satisfied with it.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Iran wants to make a deal because they have no
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: military left, essentially, and they.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Want to make a deal.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: But I'm not satisfied with it.
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: But the military operation, according to the White House, has
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: been terminated in a letter to Congress on day 60
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: of the conflict, and that's the point where, by law,
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: the president's required to seek congressional approval for using more
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: military force. He called that law unconstitutional. The organization in
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: charge of the Oscars is addressing AI and its new rules,
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: saying that humans have to be at the center of
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: the creative process, but AI neither helps nor harms the
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: chances of a nomination. You're listening to ABC News.
