  Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: It's 506 NewsRadio 570 WKBN and Ron Verb. It's 70 degrees.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: So all I'm trying to say is, I'm talking with Alec.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: If you missed the beginning of our conversation, you'll have
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: to catch it on a podcast. So all I'm saying
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: is every generation thinks they had it harder than the
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: one before them. And you're saying... And I'm saying to you,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: it wasn't easy when I was young. I mean, a
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: lot of people couldn't afford a house then. They didn't
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: make enough money. They didn't save money or they spent
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: foolishly or whatever. So you had to make sacrifices to
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: build Verb Manor when we built it. And when you
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: signed that loan, you were on the hook for it. Sure.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not disagreeing with you on that.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: I'm not talking about any outliers from the baby boomer
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: generation or the outliers from the younger generation. I'm talking
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: about the entire United States of America as a whole together.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: And I'm just speaking from a mathematical standpoint. If you
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: take the correlation between what people made in the 50s, 60s, 70s,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: and what a house costs, what your groceries, your insurance,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: or child care, and you take that proportionately to what
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: people are making now to what a home costs. And
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I don't want people to call in, well, kids don't
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: work hard anymore, or they just don't want to do
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: those jobs, or they want a big house. Well, I'm sorry,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: most younger people, yeah, you want to live in a
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: safe neighborhood. You know, you're not buying a house for $ 60, 000, okay?
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: You want to live in a safe area, which the
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: average home now... You can look online right now. I've
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: seen houses with four-by-four-inch pink tile in the bathroom, $ 400, 000. Okay,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: you can't come out of school $ 100, 000 in debt and
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: try to buy that. And here's the other thing, Ron.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Even the other generations before you, their wife wasn't working
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: in most of the scenarios. So, yeah, the husband, I
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: get it. It was tough. Believe me, it's a lot
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: easier now to do things sitting on your couch from
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: your phone. I could book a vacation while sitting on
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: my couch. You couldn't do that before. I've gone more
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: places than my grandfather ever even do existed.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: I get that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I'm just talking to strictly from a financial standpoint, which
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: brings me all the way back to the origination of
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: my phone call. It's because the money system, everything comes
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: back to that. When there is more money, it dilutes
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: your dollar and it's getting worse and worse. And there's
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: no end in sight. So the only thing I'm coming
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: back to.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: And you understand I don't disagree with you on that.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: If you're talking about the deficit of the country and
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: some of these dumb decisions making it too easy for
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: people to sit on their ass and everything, I don't
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: disagree with you on any of that.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: It's gotten exponentially worse, and it's not the younger generation
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: who's done that. I'm not saying that if they were
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: older they might not do the same thing, but I
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: can only go by the facts and figures I see
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: right in front of me. And it's not the early 20-something,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: the 30-something-year-olds who are putting these into law and moving forward.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: The can is getting kicked down the road, and the
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: older generation are the ones protecting themselves. I don't blame
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: them one bit, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: But pause for one second. I want that to be
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: there for you. And the same concerns you had, I had...
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: when I was younger as well. So I want it
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to be there. I sit here and I say, listen,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: with ad nauseum, I want to beat my head against
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the wall because of the bull crap that takes place
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: in this community. And I do mean in this community
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: that isn't in other communities. And the reality is these
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: people in politics today that I drag on constantly are
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: making this situation worse for you. So am I concerned
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: about the senior citizen?
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: But I'm also concerned about everybody in between as you
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: hear me talk about ad nauseum to say these people
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: are making it harder for young people to buy a
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: home and get started with their life with the burden
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: of property taxes. I mean, I look at my own
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: home and what they were when I started and what
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: they are now. And that's why I sit here and
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: applaud and put on Dave Thomas. That's why I get
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: these people with the signing of petitions. We got more signatures.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I can't think of any other radio host anywhere That's
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: helping these people get signatures for this constitutional amendments. I mean,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I'm doing everything I can do to say these people,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: my commissioners, this library group, none of these people give
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: a damn about the burden they're creating for young people
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: to be able to buy a home. They are the problem.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: And I'm trying to stop it from growing and making
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: it worse, not for you, but for people that are
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: younger than you. And you've got to help me do that.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think in talking to you long enough–
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: You've got to understand me from a personal standpoint, and
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I believe you do. Do you know deep down how
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: pissed I am about this? Seriously, Alec.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: I know you are because you wouldn't have these people
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: on if you didn't care. You'd just listen to random
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: complaints all day long, and that would get terrible. You
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: want to do something about it, and I can tell
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: you're passionate about it. And everybody listening that frequently listens
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: learns so much that they would have never known because
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: we really have no idea. local news that isn't partisan,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: and this is how you actually figure out information moving forward.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: And this is what it takes for people to actually
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: understand what's going on, try to get it fixed. It's
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: just that the problem is most people aren't informed enough,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: and they just don't care. And that's the sad truth
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: of the matter.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: That is true. That's true.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it will take to move forward.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: But like Dave Thomas has said, too, you.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Know, I don't want to track you. Let me respond
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: to that and then get your feedback. This has just
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: been my observation over the years. And the statement you
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: made is 100% true. I watched it happen firsthand. when
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: these trade agreements were coming around when Perot was around, right?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: And NAFT and GATT. And you're right. Most people, and
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I was bitching about him then, and I was 100%
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: with Perot on it. Everything he said about stagnant wages,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: the sucking sound, ended up coming true. So people didn't
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: pay attention to it until they started losing their job.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: You follow me till her husband lost their job till
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: her kids couldn't find a job. You saw entire communities,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: including people in this community and in Buffalo, entire towns
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: wiped out businesses that left thousands of people losing jobs
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: and they lost their homes and drug addiction went up
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: and crime went up and communities lost their tax base.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I watched it happen. And those people who didn't pay attention,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: guess what they started doing? Paying attention because it started
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: affecting them. That's what it takes sometimes.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: And sometimes, though, sometimes it's too late, and the cuckoos
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: already hit the fan, and that's what happened. Because we
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: had local politicians that weren't forward-thinking or forward-looking, and we
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: had uninformed voters. And this is all the problem with, again,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: everything like I've mentioned. When you have money that's just
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: going everywhere, and there's a trickle-down of your dollar for
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: your time, it makes things very difficult. Of course we
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: could fix the politician. Of course we could fix this
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: bill or this or that. But at the end of
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: the day, there are no consequences to a lot of
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: these actions. There's no consequence to the politician who screws up.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: They just get more money from their political fund. They
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: win re-election.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: They sit there.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: They twiddle their thumbs. They hire their friends. And then
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: we all have to pay for their exorbitant health care
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: costs after they retire at age 55.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Right, exactly. Instead of saying, do we even need this position?
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Did you listen, I just ask you, when I played
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: that hour long, when I did that hour thing with DeSantis'
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: audio from Florida, did you happen to hear that at all?
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: You know, I didn't get a chance to listen to that.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Because I'm going to do something I don't like to
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: do on a regular basis. I think I'm going to
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: play it again. And I'm going to play it again,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: and people say, well, he's the governor of Florida. What's
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: that got to do with us up here? It's what
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: he's saying in his philosophy and why things are better
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: in Florida, why every year in Florida they're spending less
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: money than they did the year before, not adjusted for inflation.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: So they're shrinking the size of government. So they're saying,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: like he said, we'll spend our tax dollars on putting
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: another lane on I-4 because that will benefit people. and
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: benefit their life, as opposed to hiring some cronies in
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: some bull crap position that's not necessary. Or he asks,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: he says, like in Broward County, why do they want
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: to double the amount of money the school gets when
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: the student population school has declined? You follow me? I mean,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: when you listen to what the guy says, you realize
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: he's educated, he's a lawyer, he's educated, and he reads.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: My problem with the people that are running this community
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: is I don't think a lot of them are educated
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: or they read. I really don't think that they actually
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: sit down and read. You know, like when I have them,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I'll never forget when I had the Fabiani saying, well,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: what about these people? What about these? He was talking
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: about everybody's problems except the taxpayer, the guy paying it. Oh,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I understand, Ron. No, no, you really don't understand. You
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: lip it and you say you understand. But you have
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: the ability to fix it, do something about it. But
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: you don't. You follow me? Talk is cheap. Deeds are precious.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I'm so sick of these people. saying they understand. No,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: you don't understand what you're doing. You don't understand what
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: you're doing to old people. You don't understand what you're
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: doing to young people, and you don't understand what you're
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: doing to everybody in between. They don't get it. Would
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: you agree with that, Alec?
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I do, and part of the problem is if you
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: do get it and try to run for that position,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: you will be pushed out of your party or not
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: welcomed into the group. So it's hard to even get
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: elected into that position to even have your voice in
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: a position of power where you can represent the taxpayer
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: because you'll never get elected. And that is the problem
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: because we have too many cronyisms around here where we
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: don't get politicians. And I will say it's not all. But,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: you know, for the most part, we don't get things
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: done because once you get in that position, you get
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: your nice benefits, you get your nice new office, and
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: then you get a nice retirement, and then your friends
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: are taken care of, like I said. Because they don't
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: hear from the taxpayer, because the taxpayer goes to work
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: all day, comes home, tries to spend time with their family,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: fix some things in their house, ride their bike, and
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: maybe go on a vacation once in a while. And
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: they don't have time to go down to the commissioner's
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: office and try to get a meeting through nine layers
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: of secretary to get to the point where they.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Don't really care.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: So that's the problem. There's just not enough people to
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: overwhelm that to actually get it done. Because, again, if
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: you ask 99 out of 100 people in that grocery
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: store if you ever polled anybody, they wouldn't be able
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: to tell you a commissioner, who their mayor is, who
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: the governor is. I bet you some people wouldn't even
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: be able to tell you who the vice president of
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: the United States is at this point in time because
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: we have an uneducated system. And the problem is all
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: of their votes count the same as my vote and
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: your vote and everybody else listening who's well-educated. So what
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: are we to do? And it's really getting tough, and
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: it's really making us all angry, because just like you said,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: you keep working more, and you keep feeling poorer and poorer,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: even though you have more money than you probably ever
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: thought you would have when you were, you know, 20
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: years old. And it just blows your mind. It makes
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: you just shake your head. What are we doing, and
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: how does it get fixed? Somebody's got to come in
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: almost incognito into a political office where they say one
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: thing to get elected and actually go in and fix it.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: But guess what?
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Fixing things, just like fixing a house, sometimes you've got
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: to tear things down to actually fix the problem. The
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: problem is the voter sees you trying to tear it
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: down at first, trying to actually rectify the issue and
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: fix it moving forward. And they say, oh, you didn't
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: fix it.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Time to go.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: And then you're gone. And then your political party outcasts you.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: You get no money from your local party.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: And then there it is.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: We're right back to the same system we were at before.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: And the problems continue, continue, continue, because there are no consequences.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: When you say that, you just you were reminding me
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: of I was looking at these. I don't know if
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: you pay attention to this or not. So let me
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: let me find this for one second. These people that applied,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: you know, Santos, of course, got a county job. Now
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: you follow me. I mean, he's you know, so he's
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: he's leaving his trustee, you know, because, you know, he
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: got a county job. OK, fine. So you've got these
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: people that put in their letter to replace him as
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: a trustee. You follow me? In the township.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: And I go through this list.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Now, I'll tell you, I'm ignorant to that story right there.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: All right. But I go through and I look at
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: all of these names, you know, and I read about them.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: And I think to myself, I don't see really any
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: of them talking enough about the taxpayers. You follow me?
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, as far as the taxpayer and becoming efficient.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: So I go through I go through all these names.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: And quite frankly, I'll be blunt with you. I think
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: there's only two people on this list of 13 that
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: are even worth considering. And obviously, obviously, one of them's Ditzler,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: because because I'm here to tell you, he was an
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: excellent trustee when he was trustee in Austintown. I mean,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: so I mean. He's very smart. And the other one
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: is probably Rapovi that was a councilman in Youngstown. I
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: think those are the only two of all the people
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: that are there. You know, I don't care that you're
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: a kawan and, you know, this kind of stuff like, oh,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: I donated, you know, I was part of this organization
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: or that organization. I don't care. That means absolutely nothing
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: to me and means nothing to your ability to be
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: able to do a job as a trustee. I mean,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: do you have an understanding, economic sense of what's going on?
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: And I only think two of all these people that
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: applied have any abilities, really, and that would be Ditzler
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: and Rapovi. The rest of them, I wouldn't want any
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: of the rest of them. I don't care that you
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: supported the dunk tank or whatever stupid thing like that.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Well, they've been putting us all in the dunk tank.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you, I would like a politician, I
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: don't care what level you're talking about, that does have
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: higher political aspirations. Because I want you to be the mayor,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: the congressman, the governor, whoever. When you're in a position,
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: I want you to build a resume and do as
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: good as you can so you can talk it up
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: for the next position.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Hold that thought back with him and more of your calls.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed my discussion with you. I won't keep you
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: any longer. But we'll carry it on in the future, okay?
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Now, all the boomers out there, don't be mad at me.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Just think about where you're leaving the country.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I don't– I'm trying to say to you, though– Things
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: are where it's never been. Everybody thinks it's easier for
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: the people before that. My father made less money than
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I did, but he kept more of the money that
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: he was making, and things cost a lot less. So
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: there's like a gauge on that. I mean, you understand
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: his house was smaller than the house that I achieved.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: He wanted his kids, like the typical people of the time,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: to do better things. He insisted that you got educated,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: as you did. But he also insisted that you knew
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: how to roof the house, that you know how to
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: fix the car, that you knew how to do things.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: It was a different time. You follow me? But I
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: look at my children that are adults. They know how
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: to fix things. They know how to operate machinery. They're educated.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: They're educated. And if your kids are better than you are,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: you've been a success. Would you not agree?
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: That's right there.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: I think the ultimate goal for any generation is to
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: have your kids do better off than you. And that
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: right therein lies, I think, the point where I think
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: we're starting to get to a point where some of
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: these generations now, this one included, are starting to be
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: worse than the one before. And I'm not talking about
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: just financially. I'm talking about everything else, the morals, the ethics,
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: the religion, everything. And that is all a problem that
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: leads into everything we just talked about. So where is
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: it falling off? We all have to do better. And
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: I think society in itself has fallen apart in many ways,
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: but there needs to be consequences for these things, and
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: there just aren't.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Correct. Correct. Consequences to bad decisions that you make. I'm
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: in total agreement with that. You have to own it. But,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, your father had to look at you and
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: say he achieved it because– You've done better than he did.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: You know, I look at my own, in my own case,
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: my own son that I work with, and it's the
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: biggest joy of my life is working with him. But
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: he's smarter. You know, he's just smarter. He's just, I
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: don't even know how to describe it. You know, he's
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: just very intelligent. He's got good standards. You follow me?
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Ethical standards, smartness, work ethic. And that's what you should
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: want as a parent. And I just leave you with that.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: And I think your dad would say the same thing
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: about you. You follow me?
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: I would say the same exact thing, and that's all
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: you could want for your kids, too. I think that's
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: a good point to end on because we just covered
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: a lot, and that right there ties it all in.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: That's correct. And I would like to see more younger
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: people involved in some of these positions. You follow me
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: and some younger thought guys like you that's in these positions.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: I appreciate your time and I thank you for it.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: NewsRadio 570. You're on the air.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Hi. Good evening, Ron.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: How are you? I've had a fascinating discussion with Alec.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: I heard parts of it.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: I'm exhausted.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I need to take a nap.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: You're processing some Some big issues that have far-ranging consequences
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: over long.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Periods of time. But you heard what I was saying.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Every generation thinks the one before them had it easier.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: And that's not always the case. You know, like, like, gee,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: my dad had a much easier than I did. No,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: you know, and then I think my dad is lucky
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: he lived through World War Two. You follow me? I mean,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: it's like..
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: Well, that's right.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, oh, he had it much better. Well, no.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: He's lucky he made it through that and came out
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: alive and didn't die as a young man and occupied
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of his life. And then I look at
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: my older brother. Well, you know, you could have died
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: in Vietnam. You could have got Agent Orange. You could have...
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: I looked at what was going on during that time
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: when he was young. You follow me? When he was
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: a young man.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: So..
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: So today, a lot of young people, you don't have
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: to worry about being drafted. You've joined the military if
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: you wish. There's a lot more opportunities in the trades
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: and easier to get in a lot of these jobs.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: That's all I'm trying to say. It's not always, boy,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: the boomers had it made.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Tell Dan Rivers how he had it made when he
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: was face down in the damn mud in Vietnam when
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: he was 20 years old. Tell him how lucky he was, okay?
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: I'm done.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, your points are valid. There are certain
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: elements of the way the world is now that just
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: make life better for everybody, right? Okay, so that's true.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Stand by, please. Stand by. Stand by. G2 coming back with,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I think, I'm hoping, some great insight on this. Back

  Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Back to it, NewsRadio 570 WKBN. All right, go ahead, G2.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: So the battle between the boomers and the Gen Z folks...
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: which has really reached a high pitch right now. There
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: are valid arguments on both sides. Yeah, the boomers bought
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: homes that were run down and rebuilt them in their
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: 20s and did all the painting and the spackling and
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: put new bathrooms in and created wealth with their sweat
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: equity effort by making those homes better than flipping them,
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: getting to a bigger one. There was a lot of
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: work done. These people worked hard to do those things.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: At the same time, a lot of the younger people
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: came out of their parents' homes and expected to live
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: at the same level that they were accustomed to as
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: their parents' children, which typically was not what happened. You know,
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: you've got to go build a life. A lot of
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: them were impatient. All those are legitimate complaints or points.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: But when the boomers start to talk down to these
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: Gen Z folks and dismiss their concerns, that really is...
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: inciting a lot of a lot of this anger. You know,
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: comments like, you think that history began in 2015, or,
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: you know, these kind of comments, you're all lazy and stupid.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: They're not. On the Gen Z and the millennials, the
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: younger millennial side, if you're in that 18 to 39
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: age range, and you want to go buy a house,
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: If you compare median incomes to homes, they're now much
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: more expensive than they were. Well, they're bigger. Well, maybe
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: they are. But it doesn't change the fact that to
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: get into a market and buy a home today is
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: much more difficult than it was 20 years ago.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: I'll say yes to that, but they are, in many cases,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: square foot wide, a lot of times much bigger, and
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: it's not an apples-to-apples comparison in many ways.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: But it doesn't matter, because if you want to get
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: into homeownership, you can only buy the homes that exist.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: And if you're going to go buy a home in
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: some places, I know one market that's really, I don't
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: know why it's like this, but I know one market
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: where the home that would have been purchased at two
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: times median income 35 years ago is now six times
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: median income. See, that's the key is the relationship between
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: your income. Because this inflation and all this theft in
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: the federal government has really, really distorted things.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but let me ask you this. With the inflation,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: if you're a boomer with a home and you say, well,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: my home's now worth whatever, $ 500, 000.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, so if you sell your home, you get your $ 500, 000. Well,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: if you're going to go buy another place, you'll be
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: shocked at what a smaller place is going to cost you.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: You follow me? It's not like you've got all this
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: wealth because if you're going to buy a If you're
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: going to go, you've got to live somewhere, and it's
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: going to cost you a boatload of money to do
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: something like that. It's all relevant. I want to just
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: mention one thing while I still got it on my mind.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Here's what I admire about my daughter's generation, if you will, 28, 29-year-old.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: How do I put this? And I'm curious your reaction
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: to it. They don't put up with a lot of
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: the crap from a lot of businesses. You follow me?
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: In other words, their attitude is this business isn't going
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: to be loyal to me and I'm not going to
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: be loyal to it. You follow me? In other words,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do the best job I can do
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: for you here. But if there's a better opportunity here
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: and they treat me better here, I'm leaving here and
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: I'm going over here. I'm not going to be here
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: for 30 years or whatever. I'm going to go over
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: to this place. They don't put up with the crap.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Do you understand what I'm saying?
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Someone was telling me the other day, for example, it
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: was at a place where they worked and the air
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: conditioning went out and it was hot as hell there.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: The people of my daughter's generation that age all left.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: They didn't stay and continue to work. They said, we'll
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: come back when you fix the air conditioning and we
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: can work in that environment. Till then, we're not going
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: to be there. I mean, there's something about that I admire.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: Well, remember how it started. Companies displayed absolutely zero loyalty
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: to their employees.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: In return, the employees displayed zero loyalty to the companies.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: And so as long as there are jobs to go
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: to where you can make the same or better income,
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: as long as you have that economic freedom, that opportunity
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: to maintain prosperity but still have a choice, that's great.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: And if you're maybe a nurse, you could do that
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: because there's a high demand for nurses. But overall, there
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: are some real problems in the job market for these people.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: And remember, we talked about this a thousand times. Before
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump's first term, We went through three decades of
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: falling wages.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: All right. So home prices are going up in inflation-adjusted terms,
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: and wages were going down. And that's because we imported skilled, unskilled,
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: and semi-skilled labor, right? And we rolled up businesses, which
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: created fewer small companies. There's some structural changes in the economy.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: that have given this Gen Z, you know, this generation
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: some real economic challenges.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: But I want to counter that by saying, before you
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: go that far, don't think that didn't affect the baby boomers,
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: as Perot said, when they were shipping everything out of
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: the country. And Perot said the sucking sound, and we
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: had stagnant wages for 20 or 30 years. For the
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: baby boomers. We saw people lose their jobs, their careers,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: and so the company shut down and lose their homes
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: and everything. That was the boomers.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, this has stressed everybody, but when you look
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: at wealth accumulation, the baby boomer generation has done very,
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: very well compared to prior generations.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Some of it. Some of it has.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, not everybody. Look, there are a lot of people
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: who are in that baby boomer age. They're having a
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: hard time keeping their homes because of property taxes. Right.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: They're on fixed income. and so on but as a
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: general matter it was easier to buy a house 30
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: 40 years ago because meeting income versus meeting um home
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: price the relationship was closer.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: And once again my father took home 90 of what
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: he made everything was lower And.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: It's not just income taxes. It's income taxes. It's fees.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: It's fines. Go get a speeding ticket. You've got to
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: take out a loan to pay the fine. There's a
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: small fine for the speeding. But they tack on fees
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: and all the things related to completely unrelated things because
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: the government can't stop seizing your money. So fees and
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: fines and costs and then these property taxes that are
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: completely out of control. Townships that never had income taxes
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: now implementing income taxes. Because they can't tax your property
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: fast enough, they have to find another way to come
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: at you for a township. What are you doing with
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: all this money? Oh, if you don't give us the money,
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: we're going to take away your police protection. Well, wait
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: a minute. Where's the money going? We need more money.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: Stop asking questions. Well, you hear it with the guy with,
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: you know, the county commissioner in Mahoney County who, you know,
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: talked like he was one of the people. Now he's
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: in office. He's like, hey, I can't cut any of
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: the spending. This is all extremely important. We have to
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: take more of your money. The minute he got his
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: position in that seat, he flips his narrative to, I've
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: got to take more of your money. So you've got
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: taxes going up. You've got regulatory burdens going up. You've
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: got inflation being driven by all this spending. Well, there's
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: a huge part of the population that has made– huge
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: profits in their stock portfolios and even in their salaries
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: from the $ 2. 5 trillion deficits we're now running. A lot
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: of that money goes out and buys these lake homes.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: A lot of it's used in the fraud that's produced
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: so much wealth redistribution, right? Just smallies come in and
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: steal $ 20 billion. Well, that's $ 20 billion they took from somebody.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: So I'm just saying it's a complicated argument, but you
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: cannot dismiss the challenges of the generation that's looking ahead
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: and saying, wait a minute, you told me to learn
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: to code. Now you're telling me only Indians can code,
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: and to get somebody who can code, you have to
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: go to Bangalore or to Chennai, but you certainly can't
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: hire an American from Case Western. Can't do that. You've
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: got to go to Chennai or Bangalore. And now I've
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: got to compete with this. So I'm going to take my...
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: my computer science degree, and I'm going to go work
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: at a restaurant for a while. I mean, this is,
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: you know, you're dismissing whole departments of people and replacing
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: them with people from India. For what reason? Well, because
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: they work for less, and once they get into a
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: decision-making position, they have a very racist policy of only
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: hiring Indians. So then we say, well, okay, Trump's going
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: to take care of the H-1Bs. He comes in, He
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: gets pressured by India and all of the tech companies,
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: all the billionaires. He gets pressure from Israel, all these places.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: The H-1B stay. Well, they're going to say, wait a minute.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: You promised me you were going to deal with these things.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: I learned. You said learn to code. I learned to code.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: Now you're saying, I don't know, go to Hyderabad and
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: code there. It's just there are structural problems that are
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: creating real difficulty for For people, you said, okay, well,
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: you know, go do manual labor. Well, we bring all
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: our carpenters from Honduras. Okay, we've got a shortage of
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: skilled trades. Why aren't we educating the Americans at a
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: faster rate? Why are we importing carpenters from Honduras? I
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: was in a meeting where a company that needed carpenters
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: was bragging about how they, rather than getting Americans, they
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: got them from Honduras. They found a pipeline and started
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: bringing people up, training them, and putting the work for
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: less money than Americans were charged. Their argument was they
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: couldn't find Americans to do the work, but you and
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: I know that's not true. You can find Americans to
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: do the work. You can't find Americans who can do
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: the work at the price of a third-world migrant. So
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: you bring in 20 million people. And drive up the
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: cost of apartments. So now these kids are saying, well,
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: all right, I can't afford a house because it's gone
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: from 3.2 times to 5.2 times my income. That's out.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: You know, I've got insurance and interest rates and these
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: things to handle. So somebody go rent an apartment. Oh,
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: look at the rental costs because we brought in 20
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: million people and the government began to pay the rent.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: So now that person there, you know, maybe, I don't know,
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: some normal job. Now they're not just competing with other
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: renters for that rental unit. They're competing with the federal
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: government who's putting foreigners in there. In the UK, in Ireland,
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: they're removing Irish people from homes and replacing them with migrants.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: They're kicking them out of their homes and replacing them
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: with migrants. If they have any kind of credit issue,
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: they miss a rent, payment, boom, they're out. In comes
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: the migrant and the government pays the rent. This is happening.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: So you've You've gone after the housing market, made it
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: very expensive to rent apartments. You've made, you know, with regulations, cars,
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: the cost of cars has gone up dramatically. The cost
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: of driving a car, you know.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: And you could argue some of that's technology.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: We have cars now with airbags, so you're safer in
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: it if you get a wreck. We have cars where
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: a backup camera is mandatory, which is probably a good
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: idea for safety's sake. There's more things on a car
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: that do drive up the cost and a lot more
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: technology in there. So they're more expensive. You can still
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: buy a Chevy Trax for $ 25, 000, $ 30, 000, though. Yeah, but
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: it used to be $ 15, 000.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Right, right. So the kill switch is a perfect example
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: of what I'm talking about. Now, I know Thomas Massey
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: had to be run out of Congress because he opposed
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: the kill switch and other things. Well, the kill switch
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: means that I have to go write a check for
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: a car that I have to pay for an increase
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: in technology so that the government can monitor my location
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: and turn off my car. I have to pay for that.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: Because the government mandated it, and the Republican Party refuses
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: to stand.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Up against it. All right, now here's the argument, and
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: I'm going to give you the argument, and I'm going
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: to give you the answer. Are you ready?
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Well, you're paranoid. The government doesn't care where you're going
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: or what you're doing, or they're not that interested in
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: your business. In general, that's probably a pretty true statement.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: But wait a minute. Let's say... That was true, right?
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Until you're the Canadian truck drivers and you're at a
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: protest and they say, we're going to cut off your
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: banking and everything because we don't want you here and
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: we don't like what you're doing. Then it does matter.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: You follow what I'm saying? Let me give you.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: One closer to home. All right. Back in 2020 and 2021,
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: parents saw for the first time what was happening in
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: their schools. They had no idea. They assumed the schools
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: were the schools they went to. They saw the grooming.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: They saw the pornography. They saw these bizarre lessons that
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: are telling them the country's horrible, their kids are horrible,
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: this one's an oppressor, that one's oppressed. This radical, woke
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: ideology being drilled into their children finally got exposed. So
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: they started going to school boards and complaining. There's a
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: bulletin that comes out of the government on a regular
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: basis out of Homeland Security. identifying the most critical threats.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: They put parents going to school board meetings on there.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: So if you were a parent..
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: AG2, don't forget Catholics, too.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, they got the Catholics. Oh, yeah, Catholics that go
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: to Latin Mass.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: And, of course, white people. White people.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, the idea that they made nationalism a
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: bad thing is a fascinating use of propaganda. Yeah. You
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: care about your country. You're loyal to your country. You
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: want your country to do well.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: You're a troublemaker, G2.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: You're a bad person. So think about these examples. A
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: Catholic going to a Catholic mass is driving a car
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: there unless they're Amish. Right? Or can walk. So all
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: you have to do now is geofence that mass, identify
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: all the phones in there, and... then geofence all those
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: cars in this next generation of technology. And you'll know
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: who's at that mask and who isn't. And if you
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: don't want them going to that mask, you can turn
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: off their car.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Right. And as goofy as all of this sounds, I mean,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: because you've got to admit, if you're listening to this,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: you've got to say, this guy's a paranoid nut. But
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: it happened in Canada with the truck drivers during the
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: COVID protest.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: Well, in Australia... If they decided you were exposed, they
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: would turn off your bank accounts.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: And put you in like a TB center against your will.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: The army would come and pick you up and take
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: you to a camp.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: So this is real. It is happening. Yes, the federal
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: government put parents going to school board meetings on a
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: list of enemies of the state. And those people were
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: beginning to be surveilled. They were being surveilled. So... all
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: this technology is designed so anybody that is foolish enough
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: to think that the Fourth Amendment was written by people
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: who didn't understand the nature of government, that's just silliness.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Stand by. We're watching you, G2. We know where you are.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Our satellite phone in an undisclosed location. We'll be right back.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: If you run a business, you know I'm... Herb from
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: the Kingdom of Mahoning, 554 News Radio 570. Would it
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: shock you if I said the following statement to you, G2?
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: That it wouldn't surprise me at all. At all. If
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: they're not surveilling you.
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: Well... I had a discussion with a group of people
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: over the last two or three days about what we
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: call compiling coincidences. Sounds very scientific, doesn't it? There are
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: concurrent coincidences popping up all over the place all the time.
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: And you can tell when they're happening and when they're not.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: And the truth of the matter is, I don't do
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: anything that would be worthy of surveillance, and yet I
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: know I've been surveilled. And I'm telling you that if
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: you went to school board meetings and you complained about
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: the sexualization of the school environment, you were being surveilled,
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: you were potentially being tracked, you may have been surveilled
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: online you probably ended up on a list if you
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: did it more than a couple of times so anyone
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: foolish enough to say i'm willing to trade my freedom
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: for safety will end up with neither because sooner or
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: later the oppression will grow the the economic burden of
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: government going to keep growing until people finally say they've
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: had enough and when you say you've had enough that's
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: when they will come for yourself You know, it is
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: just so naive and childish to think that government is
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: somehow your friend. It is not. And, you know, to
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: that end, they passed the NDAA today with a $ 1. 1
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: trillion number on it in the House, not through the
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: Senate yet. And with this Section 219 that integrates Israel
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: into our military system, something that's Never been done. People say, oh, no, no, no. Again,
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: they're not given command authority. Well, they seem to be
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: able to command Congress. I don't know. There's no other
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: country we're integrating into our system. What is the purpose
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: of this? Well, we'll be more efficient. We don't need
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: laws to make us more efficient. The military has a
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: lot of ways to improve its efficiency. There's no law required.
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: This is not in service to the United States. The
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: fact that we don't have representation in Congress is going
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: to make things worse until it gets to a point
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: where that person that thinks they're okay because the government's
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: their friend is going to realize the government's not their friend,
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: and they're going to wish they had something like the
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: Fourth Amendment to protect them.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: So that passed the House?
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: Passed the House. Seven Republicans voted no. Chip Roy was one.
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: Hageman was one. Some great folks, Tim Burchette, I think,
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: voted no. Of course, Thomas Matthew had to be removed
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: from Congress because Israel got mad at him. Voted no.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, why would you ever want that merger? That
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: is so wrong.
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: The reason you want that merger is that you now,
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: rather than having to get foreign aid, the money that
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: goes to Israel goes to the military budget, which has
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: no scrutiny, no oversight, no reporting. None of us will
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: ever again know how much money Israel's getting once this passes.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: So you want that because you're either getting money from
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Israel or you're getting money from the defense industry that's
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: going to use this connection to launder more money. That's why.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: We'll talk more about that perhaps tomorrow or Friday if
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: we get time. But remember where we're going to start.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Got it? Until then, here's my suggestion. Turn off the
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: satellite phone, throw it in a bucket of water, and
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: get back in the bunker.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's time to break out the Faraday bag. Have
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: a great night.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: All right. G2 on NewsRadio 570. Stay tuned. The Guardians
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: are coming up next. Ron Furper, McKingham Morning. Thanks for
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: doing it.
