  Speaker 2: and all of that kind of jazz. And there's my dilemma.

  Speaker 2: So you think of that. So if I come on
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Monday at three and say, is it just me or boy,
• 0:45

  Speaker 2: full broadcast. The key word being almost. Let's see. I
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: know there's Ted the Conservative here somewhere. And let me
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: just see here. I forgot the rotation here. Hello? You're
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: on air?
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Ron, I only take a few minutes, like two
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: minutes of your time so you can.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Get to bed. I was just bragging about you to
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: someone today.
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: Well, you're not going to be bragging about me now.
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I was saying, J.J. the liberal. You know, I said, J.J.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: the liberal is dependable. And I said, when we get
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: done with the Guardians games and that kind of stuff,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: He listens to the Guardians game, and when we come
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: on with the program, he's first out of the gate.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: He's first out of the gate and a great contributor.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: This is really what I was saying. I'm going to
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: irritate a lot of people who listen to the program.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I said J.J. the Liberal is first out of the gate.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: He's there when the game is done. He's there to contribute.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: He's there to add to the program on a regular basis.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: And whether you agree with them or disagree with them.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: So there you go. You know why?
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Oh, why?
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: You know why?
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Because you love me?
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Because I'm on the dole.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're on the dole. Okay.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: First of all, there's a couple of things I just
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: want to bring to your attention.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I'll answer the question. Yeah,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I do know why. Because you're old and on Social Security.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: Oh, no, no, no. Social Security.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: You earned it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: I am eternally grateful that you guys want to, you know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: and I apologize for reaching in and taking it out
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: of your guys' pockets, so please forgive me for that.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. You're on Social Security, right?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: You took Social Security. Yeah, but I'm on the dole.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: I'm taking from you guys because I never earned that.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: I never earned that. So, second of all, I wanted
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: to let you guys know that you do know That
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: red states are the ones that take more money. For
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: every $ 2 that they get, they give a dollar to
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: the federal government. Not unlike some blue states that actually
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: carry the red states. So that's number one. Number two.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: I want to tell you the reason why I don't
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: believe judges should be able to have to show or
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: tell why they're a political party, because maybe you can
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: help me on this, because that would be very bad,
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: because all he has to do is he'd be elected.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: If he's a staunch Republican or Democrat, if he gets
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: a person who is now considered a Democrat, uh, uh, a, uh,
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: a person who's on trial or a victim or whatever,
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: they can use that against that judge or that judge
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: can use that against them. So I hope, and I,
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: and I know you were kind of going along with
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: it yesterday, but I, I just was kind of curious.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: That's my, my, my second, I'm on a roll today,
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: but that was my second one. And, um, you guys
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: do know that you guys are upset with the government.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: You do know that Trump is in charge six of
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: the last 10 years, right? So that's another thing. And finally, um,
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: you know, it's, um, You guys.
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: Don't want to vote for Democrats.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: You think we're such libtards and horrible, horrible people that
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: I hear you guys talk about us. But you guys,
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: but not just what you want, because I have to
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: give you credit, but Teddy Conservative and Bubba Ganoush and
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: all you guys will vote for a person that will
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: attack or would put his hand up your granddaughter's skirt.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: So I'm going to leave it at that, but I
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: appreciate you always supporting me, but I'm really just upset
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: today that I'm keeping calm.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why are you so upset? Wait a minute. Why
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: are you so upset? I don't remember anyone calling you
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: a libtard, did they?
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: You guys call me that all the time, Ron.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: I think, actually, personally, I think that Richard Farmacist has
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: been digging into his prescriptions.
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: He's gone off the deep end.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Yesterday, he said such horrible things. Listen to what he said.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: You guys are saying that the people like me, the Democrats,
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: take from you guys. Do you know what I do
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: with some of my money that I get? Do you
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: know what my wife and I did the other day?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: What?
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: We helped a woman who had a dog and another
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: woman who had a dog that they couldn't pay for
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: getting their dog looked at. We spent our own money,
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: and now nobody's paying us back for that. And then
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: we get to help somebody else out. Okay, that..
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Now, wait a second. Seriously, settle down, Beavis. Let me
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: ask you, do you remember Beavis and Butthead? I just
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: did one for you, JJ, the liberal. Settle down, Beavis. Now,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: settle down, Beavis. Here we go with this. Now, first
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: and foremost... I have never sat back and said, J.J.,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the liberal's on a dole, because I know, because you
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: discussed it with me, and remember our conversation when you
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: took Social Security early, correct? Am I correct in my memory?
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I lost a lot of money.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, but just say I'm correct in that.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: Yes, sir.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I never accuse you of being on a
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: dole because you've been. Okay, just let me clear things
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: up here. So you took your Social Security at 62.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: That isn't being on the dole. That's what you paid
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: into when you were working, and you took it at
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: your retirement age of 62. So I've never accused you
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: of being on the dole, and I don't think people
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: have accused you of being on the dole. Now, let
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: me go to the next thing. I don't know what
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the situation is, and I don't want to know. It's
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: none of my business, because I know your wife's a
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: very private person, and we should respect her privacy. And obviously,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: your son has issues with autism, and that's a whole
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: different scenario, too. So that's something that is off topic.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: It's not something that we really discuss. So anyone, I
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: believe Rich's comments weren't directed at you specifically. As I
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: recall his phone call yesterday, I don't think his comments
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: were about you specifically at all. I think he was
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: talking about many of the Democrats. I think you take
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: some things thinking people are talking about you specifically.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: I don't have to think of an ego, Ron.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I don't think you're talking about me. But he didn't
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: mention you by name. It doesn't matter.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: You guys are saying Democrats and you know that I'm
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: a Democrat.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: How am I supposed to take that, Ron? Now, a
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: lot of Democrats... Are are on the dole, not you,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: but you are. OK, so that's that was his criticism.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: For example, when when Dave Thomas was talking about the
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: state rep, about how they changed Medicaid. So if you're
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: 25 years old and good health and of work age.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: you could sit on your arse and get Medicaid health
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: insurance as opposed to go out and get a job.
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: You're right.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, but see, that's who they're talking about when they
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: say people sitting around on a dole. They're not talking
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: about you.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: But, Ron, I'm not trying to be short, because I
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: love you, dude. I really do. I know.
• 8:53
  Speaker 9: Do you know how many times Nick or Tony have
• 8:58
  Speaker 9: said that there's people like me that have caused problems
• 9:04
  Speaker 9: that are going on in this country? And they have
• 9:07
  Speaker 9: attacked me personally.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: And you know what? I'm going to try to be
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: a better host.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: To stop these personal attacks. Now, the only thing that
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I think is fair game is fair is to say, well,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: just like you can come after me because I voted
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: for Trump three times and you can say, well, you
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: voted for this. And that's true. Just as people will say, well,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: you support Biden and you get all of this stuff
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: with Biden as well.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: I think that's fair discussion.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I agree to go after that. But I don't think
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Richard pharmacist attacked you as far as you personally. I
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: think he was attacking a large portion of the Democrats
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: that are on the dole and benefiting from all of
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: these programs. who need a kick in the arse to
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: make a contribution. I always say this. I always say,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: don't make your problems my problems. In other words, we
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: do believe in personal responsibility. The choices you make, the
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: decisions you make, those are things that– You have to
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: pay the price for it.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: I agree with you.
• 10:21
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm not arguing with you.
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: The best thing to do is have a job. Stand
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: on your own two feet.
• 10:27
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: Before punishing me because of years ago when I.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: Had that attack and that nice gentleman wanted to help me.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: And I told you even then at the time that
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: I don't ask for money.
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: I don't want money.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: But if they did it out of the kindness of
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: their heart, I told you. I don't even want to
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: go back to that. If somebody wanted to assist you
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: at that time, that's a different story. when you were
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: having those issues.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: There has been comments that have made, if you listen
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: closely enough. You're going to say, well, it's not an
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: attack upon you, but you read between the lines.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Well, do me a favor. Stop reading between the lines.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: It isn't about you. I can assure you.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: No, I don't have that big of an ego, Ron.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: I'm not that important. But I have to stick up
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: for the general generalization. If I say this generalization, all
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: you guys are off the deep end because you voted
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: for Trump and you this and that and blah, blah, blah.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Well, that's fair game if you think that.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: I didn't specifically.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: We say that.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: No but if you think that that's okay to express
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: it because i'll sit back and listen and then i
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: will i can counter that by you vote for biden
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: that's not anything personal we're just having a political.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: Exchange emmanuel said it yesterday didn't he say yesterday how
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: he appreciates that you allow people like us to be
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: able to speak I appreciate it. That's the reason why
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: I always want to.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Talk to you.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: You're a part of my life, Ron.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: And you're a part of mine. J.J. the liberal. I
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: just said, where would I be when he's doing those
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: games and you're not there? I'd be talking to myself.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: So I appreciate it.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: She's going to call you, my wife, and she's going
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: to say I got good news.
• 12:08
  Speaker 12: I got hit by a car.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: That isn't good news. All right, get out of here.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I don't want to hear that stuff. All right, have
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: a great weekend. News Radio 570. You're on the air.
• 12:19
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Who were you looking for before this guy?
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I'm looking for Ted the Conservative. Hang on, okay? I'll
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: get back to you. Just hang on, okay? Because I
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: had him in my rotation here somewhere. I kind of
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: screwed up my rotation.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Hello?
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: Ronald.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: There you go. All right. Now I'm in back.
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: Let's set the record straight. I like JJ. JJ, if
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: you're listening, I like you. I think you're a good guy.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: I think you're a good human being. I just think
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: politically you're lost, and I disagree with everything you said.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: And that's okay to disagree with him on politics. That's okay.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I think he's a good guy.
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: And you said the consistency. The one thing consistent about J.J.,
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: he will call every day and complain about Donald Trump, Republicans, you, me, Rich.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Well, pause for a second. Here's the thing about J.J.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: that people don't understand. J.J. has also been critical of
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden himself. and agreed with things on Trump. J.J.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: and I have had lengthy discussions, as you well know,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: said the conservative, where he says, I didn't agree with
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Biden on that, and I do, and he agreed with
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Trump on this.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but he'd still vote for Biden again, though.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: That is correct, because he is a Democrat. But I'm
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: working on him. I think if I live long enough,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: if I live to be 120, I think I can
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: get him to be at least independent.
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: Good luck with that.
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: At least we'll have 60 more years.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Don't count on that. Come on.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: Here's why I'm calling you. A couple things. You and I,
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: I was a little perturbed with you, I think, on Tuesday.
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: Because you were repeating the false narrative, and J.J. ran
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: with it, that Donald Trump doesn't care about the American
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: financial situation.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Based on, yes, the quote in the news. that ABC
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: ran that I was sitting here and said.
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: And you kept repeating it.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: It annoyed me.
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: Like when my wife, when you just sit down and
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: your wife asks you for something, you're like, why didn't
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: you tell me, ask me before I sat down. But anyways,
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: I digress.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: I know exactly what you're thinking.
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: You know what I'm thinking?
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: And it annoys me. It annoys me too. It's like, can,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: can I just get a moment of a breather?
• 14:31
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and she'll say, why, were you busy doing something?
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: And I'll say no, because I'm normally not. It's just I.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Want to do it on my time and my pace.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: That's what I told her last night.
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: She goes, you do stuff for me all the time,
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: and you never complain. I said, yeah, I do it
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: when I want to do it and how I want
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: to do it. When I want to sit down and
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: be lazy, I don't want to have to get up
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: as soon as I sit down and be lazy.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Especially with a bum leg, like your knee is healing.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I had a rough day yesterday, boy. You know,
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: I go there every week, and it seems like every
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: other week I get someone who wraps my leg, and
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: they do it so aggressively and tight. By nighttime, the
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: circulation is cut off to my leg, and we've got
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: to redo it at all. And yesterday was one of
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: those days. I was like, oh, my God.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Well, why don't you say something? What are they wrapping
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: it with, an ace bandage?
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: No, there's actually, the current wrap I have has four
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: layers to it.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Hold on, stand by. Back with Ted the Conservative. Let
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: me see. Wait a second. Back with Ted the Conservative
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: in a minute. Call us on the line. Stand by.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I think we've got a lot of good calls. Straight ahead.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Stay tuned. News Radio 570 WKBN. I've got a tip.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Wait a second. I've got a tip for you, too,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Ted the Conservative. Then I'm going to hear about your
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: leg when you're talking about our wives and that kind
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: of stuff. Okay? Are you ready for this?
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: All right. Now listen. Listen. I'm going to give you
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: the last. It was Saturday. So Saturday, let's see, Mother's
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Day was Sunday, right? So it was Saturday night. So
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Saturday night, no matter what doghouse you're in with your wife.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: So Saturday night, I went with the ball and chain
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: over to La Mexicana. Do you know where Five Guys
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: is and the Guitar Center is and Arby's on Market
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: and 224, that area?
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:23
  Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: Oh, I've been there before. On the corner?
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: Like in the back?
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, behind Five Guys back there.
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, my wife and I have been there once.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: All right. If you go back, well, you're going to
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: go back again. Ted, you might thank me for saving
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: your marriage, okay?
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: You go back. You go there. Listen, Ted, okay, what
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: do you got? You go back there, and I think
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: it's like $ 10. You can get a frozen margarita. And
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: I think we got two frozen mango margaritas that were frozen.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: And they're big, Ted. They're like a fishbowl. You follow me?
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: It isn't chintzy or anything. It's big. And it is
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: absolutely a slice of heaven. I'm telling you. You've got
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: to take your ball and chain there. Limp on in there.
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: Limp on in there?
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, limp on in there.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: Were you trying to get her intoxicated?
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: No, you just enjoy it with your meal. I mean,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: if you have a meal. And just sit there after
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: your meal and... let's let the digestion take place. And,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: you know, you don't want to leave. You don't want
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: to be drunk and drive or none of that kind
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: of stuff, which I doubt you could be, but I
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: think you would like it.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: A little tip about Ted, the conservative. I don't drink alcohol,
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: but my wife consumes it. So maybe I'll take her there.
• 17:46
  Speaker 16: Really?
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Okay. Maybe it's not good for the body. I, well,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: in that case, it was, it was pretty good.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Here I am trying to— advice to the love lord. It
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: would make your leg probably feel bigger and that kind
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: of stuff.
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: Maybe you could have a new segment. Call it Ron
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: the Love Lord.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Advice to the love lord. And I might add, just
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: since you don't do the large margarita, excellent refried beans.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: And I think we all know what the outcome of
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: that will be, Ted.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I bet you really enjoyed that. Don't lift up
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: the bed sheet, Tom.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: There was a little other surprise. What is that smell, Mike? Well,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: thanks for pointing it out.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: Tom, it must have been the margarita you drank too much.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, it's really a tasty drink. Concoction
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: is what I'm trying to say. You've got to get
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: a frozen note, Ted, if you think about it. I'm
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: trying to mend whatever, you know, when you get under
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: his skin. Okay, stand by. I'm coming back with Ted
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: after the headlines. I wanted to just lay that on
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: him right off the bat. Let Ted the conservative. I've
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: always got him right here. Ted and JJ, back after
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: a minute. News Radio 570 WKVN. All right, back to it.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: There you go. All right, Ted, the conservative. So you
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: were saying, I was giving that quote out the other day.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: I remember doing so. Guilty as charged. Go ahead.
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you were repeating what you heard because obviously you
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: didn't hear the whole story. And I called in and
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: told you, well, that's wrong. That's not what Trump said.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: It's being taken out of context. I'm not sure if
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: you listened to the whole speech or not, but I
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: noticed it was Wednesday when G2 called in. He agreed
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: with what I told you. Trump gave the right answer.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: And then I think I sent.
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: You an article.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: The great senator from the state of Pennsylvania, Mr. John Fetta,
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: who we would have never met a few years ago,
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: he made a public announcement that the media was twisting
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: Trump's words to make it look bad. And he did
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: not say that the concerns of the American citizens are
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: not a concern of his. What he said was he
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: would not negotiate negotiations with Iran based on any other
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: thing than the objectives of the mission. In other words,
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: if his house is on fire, he's not going to
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: stop talking to Iran and say, okay, do whatever you want,
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: I'm going to go put this fire out.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: In other words, I remember that day because you said,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: and right, I'm sitting, I'm listening to a snippet that
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: they ran on ABC. I did not hear the whole thing.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: And you said they need to play the whole thing.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: They took it out of context because Trump was saying,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: in essence, listen, I'm solely focused on they cannot have
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon. I'm not concerned about the price of
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: a gallon of gas or inflation. Right.
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: When it comes to the Iran negotiations.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Exactly. But they took the part out of when it
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: comes to the Iran negotiations. They took that part out.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: So I said, geez, he better be concerned. And even
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: however you want to say it, I go back to say,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: outside of you don't have to tell this to Iran,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: but you better be damn concerned about the inflation and
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: the price of a gallon of gas because it matters.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: It hurts a lot of people.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: I think our president is capable of multitasking. You know,
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: unlike Joe Biden, he doesn't eat four-hour naps in the afternoon.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: The guy works from morning till night. You and I
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: are in bed sleeping. He's still awake.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: He's just wired differently. People like J.J. that just hate
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: the guy. And I'm not saying J.J.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: Hates him.
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: J.J.
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: Has told you and I that he hates him. And
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: it's on record.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: But I mean... People like J.J. hear that, and it's just..
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: He heard the same thing I did, though. So J.J.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: 's fair enough that if he heard the whole context,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: he would take it differently. I give him credit.
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: I've gotten to the point, Ron, where I can't listen
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: to any media.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Because of the distortion?
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: The only show I watch in the evening hours is
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: Duckfield at 10 o'clock.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: For years, I didn't like the guys. I just didn't think,
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: I didn't like the format, but now I love it.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: It's a joint program. I won't even listen to Fox News.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: I'm not a fan of Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, or
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: Jesse Waters. I think they're just, I just don't like them.
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: I don't even, I told you I used to listen
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: to liberal news to get information, see where the enemy's at.
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: I don't even do that because I can't stand it.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: It doesn't matter. Every day is a different issue. Whatever
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: Trump's for, they're against, and they will lie and misrepresent
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: the truth. So it's up to you to know the
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: truth and define the truth and do a little bit
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: of work. And, you know, I was thinking about this
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: status analogy. You're familiar with the sport of boxing, and
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: boxing has weight class. And, you know, you get those
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: little guys, and when I say little, I'm referring to
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: maybe a guy like a Ray Boom Boom Mancini, you know,
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: 100 and whatever pounds he weighed. They can throw... 100,
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: 150 punches a round because they're so light and they're
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: so fast. That's kind of what Trump does. He hits
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: the Democrats with so many punches every day, so many
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: different issues, so many topics. I don't know how to respond.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: If you think about what was the major issue in
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: the news three months ago, it's buried. It's buried. Every
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: day it's like they're drowning and they're grasping for an
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: inner tube, and they'll scream and yell at whatever he says, supposedly.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't matter. Like tariffs was a big issue
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: if you go back.
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it was tariffs.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Then it was immigration. And they're even bitching about what
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: he's doing to clean up those pools that are out
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: there at the Capitol.
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like, why shouldn't that look good? Why shouldn't we
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: fix it?
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're even bitching about that. Does he have
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: the ability? I mean, my wife said when she saw him,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: they were disgusting. And so he's cleaning them up, and
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: they're just bitching that he's trying to make something look better.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: There isn't anything he can do for a lot of
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: these people that they won't complain about. My biggest concern is,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: now that you mentioned it, is I think he's gotten
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: somewhat distracted from doing this. getting people out of the
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: country as far as immigration is concerned. I don't see
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: it as aggressive as it has been. I mean, I'm not..
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: Well, I think it's still happening. The only reason you're
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: not seeing it is because the media has decided to
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: fight other battles. The mirror lakes. the mirror pond, whatever
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: you want to call it. They've not scaled anything down.
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: You're just not seeing it because the liberal media has decided, well,
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: we've gotten all we can get out of that one.
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: We're not changing it, so let's go on to this.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: So do you think ISIS is as aggressive as they
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: had been on getting people out of the country?
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: Yep, I have no doubt.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: I hope that's the case because in the back of
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: my mind, I'm thinking, did he kind of cave to
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: the far left with all their protests and all this
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff? No.
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: Donald Trump, if you haven't learned by now, he's not
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: the kind of person that caves to anyone. If you
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: punch him back, he punches twice as hard.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: I got you.
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: And I think he gets pleasure out of it, to
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: be honest with you. I think it's entertaining for him,
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: fighting with these goofballs. Because these are all common-sense issues.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: There's nothing he's doing that's really against the grain, that's
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: so controversial. Most people, when you poll them and ask
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: them a straight question, they agree with it. But the
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: Democrats will die on anything that he supports. That's like
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: the China issue.
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: Oh, my gosh.
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: You know, I hate to mention names, but I heard
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: a guy we were just talking about yesterday call in
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: worried about, oh, my gosh, China, China, China. They're going
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: to do this. They're going to do that. They're taking
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: advantage of Trump. Oh, he's repeating what he hears. Then
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: you got another caller who claims to be a financial investor,
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: and he's talking about how great China is. So let's
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: set the record straight.
• 26:04
  Speaker 17: China.
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: What is China? You know, 40, 50 years ago, they
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: were a big economic threat to the United States. Obviously,
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: they're a geopolitical foe, but they're not what they used
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: to be. They have strategic interests and goals and ideologies
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: that fundamentally oppose us.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Although, now before you go too far, I was actually reading,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: and it was eerie because... I was reading, and I
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: wish I could tell you which site it was, about
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: China's economy is doing pretty good.
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: It's horrible.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: I'm reading that it's doing good.
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: Their economic picture is bad. Their economy is export-driven, and
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: we've seen what's happened to that with tariffs. We've seen
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: what's happened when the Strait of America has been closed.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: They can't move container ships. They can't get products out.
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: They can't get oil. Trump has cut off almost 60%
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: of their oil. 55% comes out of the Middle East,
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: another 5% come out of Venezuela. They've lost all that.
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: All of that's gone. Their total debt, I heard this yesterday,
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: their total debt to GDP is approaching 340%. Now, to
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: put that in comparison to us, people think our economy's bad, right?
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: They think inflation's bad here. Well, our debt to GDP
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: is about 255%. To put that in perspective, if we
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: think things are bad here, they're almost twice as bad there.
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: But you hear people talk about how strong the China
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: economy is. It's not. Their economy is export-driven. They... I mean,
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: we know about all the social issues in China, what
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: they do to their own people. There's a thousand social
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: issues I won't even talk about, but let's talk about that. Export-driven,
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: they're not getting oil, they're not getting container ships. Their
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: economy is on life support. Now, Taiwan, they were ready
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: to take over Taiwan.
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: Because they want control of all the technology and the
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: innovation there. try to bring in more money for themselves. Well,
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: as soon as Trump became president, they knew that that
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: ship wasn't going to fly. That bird wasn't going to fly,
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: however you want to say it. And they know that
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: as long as Trump's in office, they're not doing anything
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: about that. Because they fear Trump. They know, they've seen
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: what he will do, and there's nothing he won't do
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: to protect the interests of the United States. We've seen
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: that all over the world since he's been in office.
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: I think if..
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: You know, everyone that opposes everything that's going on, they
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: think it's so bad. They think Trump's caving the child.
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: What's the case? I haven't heard anything. If anything, I've
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: heard opportunities to open some markets up for technology people
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: that travel there. I heard some support that they want
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: this war with Iran to end. They need the Strait
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: of America to open, right? I've not heard anything negative.
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: I've not heard anything where Trump has come out of
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: there with his head down, his knuckles dragging and looking
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: beat up.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: I just only hope that we was over there to
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: negotiate some type of economic stimulus for purchasing Hunter Biden's
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: paintings and giving Hunter Biden's investment firm another billion dollars.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: He's using the leverage he has, which is he has
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: slowed their... Container ships are moving. He has shut down
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: the Strait of America.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: So you like his strategery?
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: His strategery is beyond the comprehension of most Americans. So
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: the guy puts America first. This war with Iran, you know,
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: I can only summarize it this simple. People, prior to 9-11,
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: there were many triggers and many warnings that people ignored.
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: And then when 9-11 happened, they looked back and said,
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: oh my gosh, how did we allow this to happen?
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: So Trump is.
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: Vowing to never let another 9-11 happen. If people think, oh,
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: Iran's no threat, they're not going to do that. Who's
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: to say the next time they pull off one of
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: these stunts, it's not a nuclear bomb in New York
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: City instead of a plane hitting a high-rise? You can't
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: just assume the world's a good place because it's not.
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: There's been war since the day man walked on the earth.
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: There's been battle.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Don't worry, though. You don't need that... The governor and
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: the mayor of New York City are unleashing economic bombs
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: to destroy New York City with all these taxation proposals.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: Going back to something else too, Denny, JJ said, it's
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: not that you and I think Republicans are superior in
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: every issue or every..
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: We just agree with them. They make sense to me.
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: They make sense to us, and we fear a Democrat
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: being in office for just the reason you mentioned. Look
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: what they're doing.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: In New York City.
• 30:54
  Speaker 18: Right.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: There you have it.
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: They're chasing all the money out of the city. Well,
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: then what are they going to do?
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: There he is.
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: Focaccia Friday.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, there he is with his seeping wound on his leg.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Ted the Conservative. NewsRadio 570. Don't you give me any
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: on here.
• 31:12
  Speaker 16: Hey, Ron.
• 31:13
  Speaker 19: Remember when John Arnold said don't listen to non-professionals like
• 31:19
  Speaker 19: Ted the Non-Conservative? He's an economic and investment functional literate.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm not going to allow people to attack callers individually.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: If you have something to contribute in that sense, we
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: contribute it.
• 31:33
  Speaker 19: Well, it's a fact. Here's what I'll contribute. He said
• 31:38
  Speaker 19: China's debt-to-GDP ratio exceeded 300%. Well, last year, China's debt-to-GDP
• 31:45
  Speaker 19: ratio exceeded 300% temporarily when considering total debt, including household
• 31:56
  Speaker 19: and corporate debt. Our GDP ratio is only government debt,
• 32:05
  Speaker 19: not everybody's debt. It's just that the GDP ratio this
• 32:10
  Speaker 19: year is projected to reach 90% by the end of 2026.
• 32:14
  Speaker 19: That's total debt. China's economy, unlike what Ted, the neoconservative,
• 32:24
  Speaker 19: is telling you, is doing just fine. And I don't
• 32:28
  Speaker 19: know what in the heck he was talking about. Containerships?
• 32:32
  Speaker 19: China far exceeds us in containerships. In fact, so bad
• 32:38
  Speaker 19: that Trump even was talking a while back about investing
• 32:42
  Speaker 19: taxpayer and government money into building more containerships. because we're
• 32:48
  Speaker 19: just so far behind China. So many countries and businesses
• 32:54
  Speaker 19: use Chinese lease and pay China to ship their goods
• 32:59
  Speaker 19: and services. So I'm afraid, Ted, the neoconservative, you don't
• 33:05
  Speaker 19: have a clue what you're talking about. And he said
• 33:08
  Speaker 19: that financial planner guy he was referring to me doesn't
• 33:14
  Speaker 19: know what I'm talking about. But you let him slide
• 33:18
  Speaker 19: with that. Ron, let me tell you something about China.
• 33:24
  Speaker 19: I'll say again, my China stocks are doing great. G2
• 33:29
  Speaker 19: said China's market was down 7%.
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: On May the 5th.
• 33:35
  Speaker 19: The HK50, Hong Kong's 50 largest stocks, was up 14.81%.
• 33:46
  Speaker 19: The CSI 300, Shanghai's 300th largest stock by market capitalization,
• 33:53
  Speaker 19: was up an incredible 26.2%. At that rate, the Shanghai
• 34:01
  Speaker 19: stock market would be up almost 80% by the end
• 34:05
  Speaker 19: of the year. In other words, if you invested $ 100, 000
• 34:08
  Speaker 19: on January the 1st, it would be worth almost $ 180, 000
• 34:15
  Speaker 19: at the end of the year at that rate, an
• 34:19
  Speaker 19: $ 80, 000 profit. So, Ted, you need to do your homework, buddy.
• 34:25
  Speaker 19: I analyzed China. I just got finished analyzing 542 Chinese
• 34:31
  Speaker 19: stocks about three months ago. But according to Ted, the neoconservative,
• 34:36
  Speaker 19: I don't know nothing about investing or China. But I'll
• 34:41
  Speaker 19: tell you this. Ron, I predict China will become increasingly isolationist,
• 34:47
  Speaker 19: the same as the founding fathers advised our government leaders.
• 34:53
  Speaker 19: China will trade with the rest of the world and
• 34:56
  Speaker 19: avoid expensive foreign entanglements. And, Ron, Trump's tech war against
• 35:02
  Speaker 19: China was a total failure. His trade war resulted in
• 35:06
  Speaker 19: China diversifying their exports in achieving a record-breaking trade surplus. Ron,
• 35:13
  Speaker 19: you want a country that is booming in exports. Our
• 35:18
  Speaker 19: country should be booming in exports. We don't want to
• 35:22
  Speaker 19: have to import everything from the rest of the world
• 35:29
  Speaker 19: and be dependent on so many countries. But, Ron, we
• 35:33
  Speaker 19: live in a world where... Free trade with all countries
• 35:39
  Speaker 19: will benefit everybody. You want a global economy. What happened
• 35:46
  Speaker 19: in the Great Depression?
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Stand by, stand by. Fort Lauderdale, Frank. On News Radio
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: 570 WKBN, call us in line. Stand by. Back with
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: more right after this.
• 35:55
  Speaker 20: The Year.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: 570 WKBN. All right, are you done talking about China, comrade?
• 36:01
  Speaker 19: Yes, sir, comrade.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Is there anything else you want to contribute besides telling
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: me how great China's economy is?
• 36:10
  Speaker 19: Well, you know, we're a nation of consumers and spenders.
• 36:14
  Speaker 19: China's a nation of savers and investors. And I want
• 36:20
  Speaker 19: to say something about Ted's big, beautiful wars in the
• 36:24
  Speaker 19: Middle East.
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 36:26
  Speaker 19: It's a destruction of a large portion of the earth's
• 36:29
  Speaker 19: Energy infrastructure, we've destroyed 30% of the world's helium supply,
• 36:36
  Speaker 19: an estimated 30% to 50% of the world's fertilizer, half
• 36:40
  Speaker 19: the world's sulfuric acid that we use for industry.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Let me cut to quick questions. Do you think the
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: war in Iran was a mistake.
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: In your opinion?
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Yes or no?
• 36:50
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I do.
• 36:51
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Do you think that Trump's going to have a hard
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: time getting out of it?
• 36:56
  Speaker 19: I think that's one of the reasons he went to China,
• 36:58
  Speaker 19: don't you?
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: I'm asking you. So you think it was a mistake
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: from the very beginning. He's having a hard time getting
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: out of it. Do you think that it's going to
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: cause more economic harm to our economy than we're seeing currently?
• 37:13
  Speaker 19: Yes, sir. The war is costing us $ 1 billion a day.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Do you think it will create more inflation?
• 37:22
  Speaker 19: Well, the headline financial news today was a war show.
• 37:27
  Speaker 19: They have no choice but to raise interest rates.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: I'd hate to see that. All right, it's Fort Lauderdale, Frank.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Enjoy the weekend with those young women that are with you.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: We'll be back.
• 37:43
  Speaker 10: From ABC News.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: I'm Mike Daboski.
• 37:46
  Speaker 10: President Trump now wants the Internal Revenue Service to create
• 37:49
  Speaker 10: a $ 1. 7 billion fund aimed at paying out alleged victims
• 37:54
  Speaker 10: of government weaponization. The fund, which would be made up
• 37:57
  Speaker 10: of taxpayer dollars, is already generating pushback among Democrats, like
• 38:01
  Speaker 10: California Representative Pete Aguilar.
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: This is ridiculous, but.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: This is exactly who he is.
• 38:06
  Speaker 21: Some way, somehow, he'll find a way to try to
• 38:08
  Speaker 21: pay himself, in addition to some of the $ 1, 500 million.
• 38:13
  Speaker 21: insurrectionists who he pardoned for trying to take over the
• 38:16
  Speaker 21: Capitol here.
• 38:16
  Speaker 10: The fund, which hasn't been created yet, comes after President
• 38:19
  Speaker 10: Trump agreed to drop his lawsuit against the IRS for
• 38:22
  Speaker 10: allegedly leaking his tax returns. The president himself is on
• 38:26
  Speaker 10: his way back to Washington right now following a summit
• 38:28
  Speaker 10: in China. Presidents Trump and Xi, while there, agreed on
• 38:32
  Speaker 10: a new vision of constructive strategic stability. Former Biden-era U.S.
• 38:37
  Speaker 10: ambassador to China, Nicholas Burns, tells ABC News there's reason
• 38:40
  Speaker 10: for skepticism.
• 38:41
  Speaker 22: If we do anything, we the United States that displeases China,
• 38:44
  Speaker 22: they'll say you're violating our strategic pact on stability. So
• 38:48
  Speaker 22: you can't sell those arms to Taiwan. You can't criticize
• 38:51
  Speaker 22: us that Jimmy Lai is in prison unjustly. in Hong Kong, etc.
• 38:56
  Speaker 10: The Centers for Disease Control now updating reporters about the
• 38:59
  Speaker 10: Hanta virus, saying no Americans are currently infected with the
• 39:03
  Speaker 10: Andes strain of the virus. At least 41 Americans in
• 39:06
  Speaker 10: 12 states are being monitored, though. And in France, a
• 39:09
  Speaker 10: woman is in the hospital in critical condition with the virus.
• 39:12
  Speaker 10: ABC News medical contributor Dr. Alok Patel.
• 39:14
  Speaker 23: We really are praying and rooting for this woman. But
• 39:17
  Speaker 23: Andes virus, Hanta virus, there is no known cure or
• 39:21
  Speaker 23: known preventive measure, but really what it is, it comes
• 39:25
  Speaker 23: down to supportive care. That's keeping the body and the
• 39:27
  Speaker 23: organs alive while the immune system does its best to
• 39:30
  Speaker 23: fight off the virus.
• 39:30
  Speaker 10: The CDC also says it's closely monitoring an outbreak of Ebola,
• 39:34
  Speaker 10: which started in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. You're
• 39:37
  Speaker 10: listening to ABC News.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: All right, 4.06 in the afternoon, NewsRadio 570, Dodie KVN,
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: and we're on verb 67 degrees, and you're on the air, hello.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: Well, I got to play down at, we had an
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: Elvis guy there a couple hours today, and I'm putting my,
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: They're going to bring it home tonight.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling, the Cavaliers.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: You have a feeling?
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: I have a feeling.
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, I've got hopes that they can do it.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: If they don't win tonight, I think they'll win on Sunday.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: But I think they can do it tonight.
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: They're playing at home.
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: Then they go far in the tournament. That's my prediction.
• 40:21
  Speaker 16: I don't know.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: So Dick from Dayton is going with the Cavs.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 40:28
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Our official sports prognosticator.
• 40:33
  Speaker 8: You're on the air.
• 40:37
  Speaker 24: What do you think, Ron, when you hear the report
• 40:43
  Speaker 24: polls say 40% of young people think communism is okay, 62%
• 40:52
  Speaker 24: of Democrats think socialism is okay? What do you think
• 40:57
  Speaker 24: when you hear those figures like that?
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: If they're accurate, I find it to be deeply troubling
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: that anybody would think that. It hasn't worked. It will
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: not work. I find it deeply troubling because I think
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: we're becoming a nation of wusses. Listen, I think people
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: are getting further and further away from what a great
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: country this is, and that means you have personal freedom
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: and personal responsibility. And I think there's many people that
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: just want to sit on their arse, do nothing, and
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: think they're owed a paycheck or think they're owed a
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: particular lifestyle without putting any effort or work to achieve it.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: And it doesn't work. It doesn't work elsewhere. It isn't
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: going to work here. And I get sick and tired of.
• 41:40
  Speaker 7: It.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Capitalism is what has changed so many of people's lives
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: in this great country of ours.
• 41:46
  Speaker 24: For the better?
• 41:49
  Speaker 16: Yes.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: And then, I.
• 41:54
  Speaker 24: Guess people don't want to debate or have a disagreement,
• 41:58
  Speaker 24: but if you have somebody saying, well, the only reason
• 42:02
  Speaker 24: Emmanuel gets beat up is because he's a person of color. Well,
• 42:06
  Speaker 24: thanks for bringing Marxism into the argument. And there's the
• 42:11
  Speaker 24: oppressors and the oppressed, right? That's what they, the communists,
• 42:17
  Speaker 24: wanted to do. 75 years ago to take down America
• 42:22
  Speaker 24: and its capitalism is have this fight about race. And
• 42:26
  Speaker 24: the other thing. Is the transgenders after the gay marriage? Look,
• 42:36
  Speaker 24: we're so far beyond caring that you're gay. Nobody cares.
• 42:41
  Speaker 24: Nobody cares that so long ago. Why are you even
• 42:45
  Speaker 24: bringing it up? Oh, because you people want to molest children.
• 42:50
  Speaker 24: That's why. And we break down the family. Black Lives
• 42:55
  Speaker 24: Matter says we're trained Marxist and we're going to deconstruct
• 43:00
  Speaker 24: the nuclear family. So two of your previous callers, one
• 43:07
  Speaker 24: is saying.
• 43:07
  Speaker 7: Everything's about race.
• 43:09
  Speaker 24: It's not. Nobody cares. We disagree with what Emanuel's bringing
• 43:15
  Speaker 24: to the table politically. Nobody cares what color he is
• 43:19
  Speaker 24: except you people. And then the other guy, China's great.
• 43:23
  Speaker 24: China's wonderful. I don't care that there's forced organ harvesting.
• 43:28
  Speaker 24: I don't care about the Uyghurs. I don't care about
• 43:30
  Speaker 24: Tiananmen Square. It's like Pampon Pim's grandfather's talking to us.
• 43:37
  Speaker 24: Free trade. Free trade. It's not free, dummy. That's what
• 43:40
  Speaker 24: the establishment, that's what Mitt Romney, that's what Mitch McConnell. Oh,
• 43:45
  Speaker 24: did I just mention two Republicans?
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, George Bush.
• 43:49
  Speaker 7: Oh, all of them?
• 43:50
  Speaker 24: Yeah, the establishment, Democrat or Republican, ruined America. Ruined America
• 43:57
  Speaker 24: with their so-called free trade, which never was. Trump's the
• 44:01
  Speaker 24: only one who's been talking about it forever.
• 44:04
  Speaker 17: Forever.
• 44:05
  Speaker 24: Because he saw what was happening to America. And other
• 44:10
  Speaker 24: people don't care and just go free trade. But I
• 44:14
  Speaker 24: think Ron agreed with Pat Buchanan. I think Ron agreed
• 44:18
  Speaker 24: with H. Ross Perot. Because we watched it happen. Everything
• 44:23
  Speaker 24: they said happened. We don't want it to happen anymore. People,
• 44:30
  Speaker 24: what did your grandpa say? Oh, China's a country of savers.
• 44:38
  Speaker 24: They don't save anything.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: It's slave labor. What are you talking about?
• 44:43
  Speaker 24: They're a country of savers.
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: They don't have any money.
• 44:46
  Speaker 24: They don't get any money. They're jumping off of buildings.
• 44:51
  Speaker 24: If they're not in a concentration camp or getting mowed
• 44:54
  Speaker 24: down in Tiananmen Square. And then we wonder why people
• 45:01
  Speaker 24: think communism, socialism is OK.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't listen. I like I say, I don't
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: understand the. support for it, whether that's in New York City,
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: because really, I mean, Bernie Sanders pushes that socialistic, communistic agenda,
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: and you have a lot of people that follow it.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: You have people with Mondami in New York City, and
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: you have people pushing this, thinking the answer is we
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have personal responsibility. We shouldn't have capitalism. I mean,
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: when do we push the reality? You're born in a country.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: We have our problems, granted, but you're born in a
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: country where you have freedom. You can get in your
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: car and you can leave Ohio and drive to Florida
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: tonight and no one's going to stop you. You can
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: get in your car and you can drive to Pennsylvania
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: if you're in Ohio or whatever. You have the freedom
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: to travel in this country. You have the ability to
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: do what you want with your life. As I said,
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: if you want to go to college and you have
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: good grades, you can get a scholarship. If you're good
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: at sports, you can get a scholarship and go for free.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: You can join the ROTC and you can get money
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: and go for free. There's so many options for people
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: if you're seeking a college education to get a degree in.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: in a field that'll make you a decent living, whether
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: you want to become a nurse or a nurse practitioner,
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: a nurse anesthetist, where you can make substantial money, you
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: want to become a doctor, you want to go, you
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: want to forget all of that, you want to go
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: to the trades, and you'll make a good living here
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: in this country. There's so many opportunities For people today,
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: even in these difficult times, there's so many opportunities for
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: people to go and improve their lives. All it takes
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: is some effort. That's all it's ever taken. It's easier
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: today than it's ever been. I hear everybody talking about
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: AI and all this kind of stuff. Listen, as I
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: go back to say, when I was a young man,
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: it would be difficult to get into the trades. You
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: had to know somebody. Today, they're begging for people to
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: get into the trades. Today, they're begging for police officers.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: It used to be difficult to become a police officer,
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: and hundreds would show up to take the test for
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: one opening. So younger people today have great opportunities in
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: many fields that when I was a young man— You
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: had a hard time getting into the post office or
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: the police department or the trades or getting in General Motors. Yeah,
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: getting in General Motors if you didn't know somebody. But today,
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: that's all different. You can get into all of these
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: places relatively easily where you can make a decent living
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: if you have a work ethic, if you put the
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: effort forth. If you have a work ethic, if you
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: can stay off of drugs, if you have the ability
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: to learn a trade or a skill and put some
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: effort in. That's what capitalism has done for so many people.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: And from that, you can own a beautiful home. You
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: can go out to eat. You can have a wonderful
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: life in this country if you decide to do it.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know why so many people... according to the
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: surveys you say, think that it's my responsibility to take
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: care of them or that they'd be better off under
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: some type of communism where you don't have any personal property.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: You don't own anything. And the government tells you about everything.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: To me, they are nothing but lazy people who want
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: stuff given to them who don't want to put any
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: effort forth. And I say to you, just many people
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: in this country need a good swift kick in the
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: ass to be told how good the country still is.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: And if they need to put some effort into it,
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: to make something of their life. And if they're not
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: willing to put the effort into it, then often you
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: get failure. But don't blame me for that. Blame yourself
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: for that because you didn't put any effort forth. It
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: was just too hard or whatever your excuse might be.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: There's no excuse to drop out of high school. The
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: dropout rate for high school should be zero. It's the
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: least we can expect of people in this country. is
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: to finish high school. And any parent that allows their
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: student to drop out of high school is a fool.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: And if you don't like what you're doing in high school,
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: go to vocational school where you can learn a skill
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: or trade and be able to make a living in
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: that fashion. There's so many options for you. You don't
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: have to go to college. It's not for everybody. It
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: can be difficult, but maybe you have no desire to
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: go to law school or be an engineer or whatever
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: you would get as far as your college degree. But
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: if you decide to go to college and get some
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: stupid degree, and get a lot of debt, then you're
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: going to be burdened with that all of your life.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: So every decision you make has consequences. So if you say, oh,
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go to college, get a liberal arts degree, well,
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: I don't have the money to go to college, then
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: the sad answer is you can't afford to go if
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: you don't get any of those scholarships. Then you better
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: figure it out.
• 49:54
  Speaker 24: Here's the thing today. Just like you were saying, you
• 49:58
  Speaker 24: can work at the Starbucks for 20 hours a week,
• 50:03
  Speaker 24: and they'll pay for your college. My nephew has been
• 50:09
  Speaker 24: working for UPS for six months. He just turned 20
• 50:15
  Speaker 24: years old. They just accepted him into the program where
• 50:19
  Speaker 24: they will pay for him to work and go to school. In,
• 50:26
  Speaker 24: I don't know what it is, 19 months or something,
• 50:29
  Speaker 24: he's an airframe and power plant mechanic. He's a heavy
• 50:33
  Speaker 24: jet mechanic. He already works for UPS. That means his
• 50:37
  Speaker 24: ticket's already punched. All he has to do is do
• 50:41
  Speaker 24: what they ask him to do to get his license.
• 50:44
  Speaker 24: They're paying for his education, and then they're going to
• 50:47
  Speaker 24: pay him oodles.
• 50:49
  Speaker 7: Of money when he's done.
• 50:51
  Speaker 24: He's a 20-year-old kid. They have everything today.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: But he's got to put some effort forth. And many
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: people don't want to put any effort forth because it's just...
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: It's just too hard. We're begging for people to go
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: into the medical field. Listen, if you want to make
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: more money, you want to do more with your life,
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: then maybe you should become a nurse. Maybe you should
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: become a nurse anesthetist. There's so many things that you
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: can do with your life if you choose to do it.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: But if you choose to say, I just want to
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: watch TV. I want to listen to the music. I
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: want to go out and drink and smoke pot and
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: all this kind of stuff. Well, don't blame me for
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: your lot in life and don't expect me to have
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: to pay for your lot in life. We've made it
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: far too easy in this country for too many people
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: to sit on their ass and do nothing. Absolutely nothing. Now,
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: as I've said, I always got to put a comma there.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: I have no problem with people collecting unemployment because it
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: means they were employed and lost their job. I have
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: no problem with people collecting Social Security because it meant
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: they paid in all their life and now they're older
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: and they can enjoy their retirements. I have no problem
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: with people getting retirements from the military or police or fire,
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: that's all well and good because you've earned all of that.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: But those are earned things. I'm just saying we make
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: it too easy for people to sit down without any
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: consequences to the mistakes they make and to be able
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: to survive. And I think that until you change that dynamic,
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: The great society of Lyndon Johnson has been a great failure.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: And the Democrats keep wanting to expand that. We want
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: to just continue to give people more money for nothing. Oh,
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: we want to have reparations. But you were never a slave.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: And the slave owners are dead and gone. This is ridiculous.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: Absolutely ridiculous. Well, wait a minute. What about my health care? Well, okay,
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: what about your health care? As I say a million times,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: don't you think as you get older, my father covered
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: it when I became an adult? Get a job that
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: has health care or go buy it. Those are your choices.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: It's called growing up. It's not up to me to
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: provide you with health care or to sit on your
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: ass and collect Medicaid. Figure it out.
• 53:07
  Speaker 24: Because a daughter and a niece worked at the Starbucks,
• 53:12
  Speaker 24: and I was amazed. I kept having them tell me
• 53:15
  Speaker 24: more and more that they're giving people. They're handing it out.
• 53:20
  Speaker 24: They're begging you to come there and take their free college,
• 53:23
  Speaker 24: their health. I had Cadillac, Keenster, Giant Eagle Healthcare. Cadillac plan.
• 53:32
  Speaker 24: And Starbucks is better. I've never met anybody who had
• 53:36
  Speaker 24: better health care than I did. They have it at
• 53:38
  Speaker 24: Starbucks for nothing. And they're begging people. And we won't
• 53:43
  Speaker 24: do it. So you're right. We have to shut down
• 53:45
  Speaker 24: the paying for people to sit on their bus. We
• 53:48
  Speaker 24: have to shut down paying for the illegal aliens.
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: Sorry, Frank.
• 53:52
  Speaker 24: I don't know.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: It's just nothing. We're paying people to do nothing. Everything
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: has been... Ronald Reagan said it.
• 54:00
  Speaker 24: You can't pay people to do nothing.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: Right. I mean, failure should be a motivator. I'm not
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: saying hunger, but... At what point do you correct your
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: decisions that you are making? And quite frankly, I even
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: see it in our judicial system. We're far too soft
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: on violent criminals, on violent criminals. Many of these people
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: shouldn't be out. They commit other crimes when they're out.
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: We are far too easy on violent criminals without just saying, OK,
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: you're going to be punished and we're going to make
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: sure you don't hurt anybody else. And I see it
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: happening in the judicial system. We've become way too soft.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: Why don't you see a lot of crime over in
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: the UAE? Well, you can put your wallet on a
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: table and it's going to be there when you come back.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: Because if you pick it up and steal it, guess what?
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: They're going to cut your hand off, right?
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: What are they going to do in China?
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 54:58
  Speaker 24: It might not be cutting your hand off. It might
• 55:00
  Speaker 24: be taking an organ out that your leader needs.
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 55:03
  Speaker 25: Right.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, and you mentioned this. You mentioned a slave
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: labor as well. Well stated. Appreciate it. Thank you. Back
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: after this news radio 570 WKVN. 570 WKVN. And Ron
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: Furb from the Kingdom of Mahoney at 425 here. On
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: a Friday, May 15th, it's 67 degrees. It's going to
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: be close to 90 on Monday. I mean, what a
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: big difference it's going to be. You're on the air.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's up? What's up, Ron? Boy, what a show
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: you had. I was trying to listen. I was trying
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: to get on. I called at 3.
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: What time is it now?
• 55:40
  Speaker 25: 425.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: I had a look at Frank from Fort Lauderdale. JJ, oh,
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: my God, he wrapped his shorts way too tight today.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was saying everybody's name, and we were–
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: criticizing him. And I'm like, I don't know where he's
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: coming from. And then I thought, Oh my God, I
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: think he's having a nervous breakdown. So anyhow, and then
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: of course, uh, uh, we are a conservative Ted, the conservative.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: And then, and then, uh, and then our, our baseball guy,
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: you know, that says about, um, or sports guy about
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: the calves and good, good. I'm glad he's got these predictions.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: He's a good guy. He sounds like a really good person.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: He's always, he's always in a good mood. He's always upbeat, but, uh,
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: He runs hot and cold, but he's our official sports prognosticator.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Well, I wouldn't use him to bet with. That's all.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably good advice.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and people are complaining about the..
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: But I'm going to say this when you talk about that. Now,
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: are you ready? I find J.J. the liberal. I find
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: him interesting. I find Ted the conservative absolutely fascinating. I
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: find Frank's take on things controversial but unique in.
• 56:56
  Speaker 8: Many ways.
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: And Jake is always an excellent caller. And I'm trying
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: to think of– if you're asking me, was I pleased
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: with the first hour and a half, my answer is
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: absolutely yes.
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, I was very into their– And then, and then,
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: Bubba Ganoush. Okay.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Like I said, I've been listening, you know.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: You're listening. We're talking. Never mind.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: We're talking. You're listening on 570 WKVN. I love that.
• 57:34
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 57:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 57:34
  Speaker 24: All right.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: All right. But you're listening now, and I'm talking.
• 57:39
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: So, a couple things. I got up early to watch the,
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: you know, Trump having dinner. At that time, it was
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: 6 o'clock a.m. my time. And the speeches that both
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: leaders had were phenomenal.
• 57:55
  Speaker 6: It was great.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: He even said, make America great again. Then the media
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: comes on after that, talking about Taiwan and all this crap,
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: and that we're going to go to war with China
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: over Taiwan. And I'm thinking, that's depressing. And I said,
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: why do they got to destroy such a good thing?
• 58:11
  Speaker 22: Anyhow.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: People say, well, you don't trust them. Well, you don't
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: trust anybody.
• 58:16
  Speaker 24: Anybody.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Well, God says don't put
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: your trust in anybody but God. So anyhow, I got
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: a little bit down about that. Then all of a
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: sudden I got to thinking about, you know, the tribe
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: sweeping the L.A. Angels.
• 58:31
  Speaker 6: But listen, that team, you go look at their record, okay?
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: They're having problems themselves. But like I said, we swept them.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Now we're going to play Tito tonight.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, stand by for a second. Back with Bubba Ganoush. Yeah,
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: we played the Reds tonight. NewsRadio 570, WKBN and Ron Furman,
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: back in a bit. NewsRadio 570, WKBN. WKBN.
• 58:56
  Speaker 7: Now, Ron Furman on NewsRadio 570, WKBN.
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: That was played in your honor, Bubba Ganoush.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I like that. I like that. It's motivating,
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: isn't it?
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: Well, you're motivating to me.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: And listen, anyhow, we're playing Keto tonight. So it's going
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: to be a good series.
• 59:15
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: Good matchups.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: And then you have the Cavs and Pistons.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: That's an important game. A lot of sports activity going on.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: Dick from Dayton's head is going to be spinning tonight.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But listen, like I said, okay,
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: here's the thing, Ron. I might not agree with everything
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: people say.
• 59:38
  Speaker 26: Yes.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: But I'm not going to try to destroy them. And
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: that's what I think about Trump. People don't understand. He knows.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: You know, you even said this. You told me, or
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: you told us, you said, look, he knows things I
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: don't know about what's going on. So how do you
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: judge a man making decisions on stuff that's secret?
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 7: You know what I mean?
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: Well, you have to start with and acknowledge he knows
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: more than you know and his inner circle does. But
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: that doesn't mean you can't also listen to people that
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: are other experts, that I would consider experts, and get
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: their take on it. Because it also doesn't mean that
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: you just blatantly accept what you're being told to by
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: the government. Because let's be realistic. The government has lied
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: to us so many times. I mean, the government, Biden administration,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: they lied about the origins of COVID. I mean, when
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: you had that guy testify just the other day that
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: said that the... How about that? Basically, the CIA knew
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: that it was from the lab in Wuhan, and Fauci
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: got involved in it. Right, right.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: But you know how the lab got it? I told
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: you before how the lab got it.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: Well, the funding..
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: Fauci created it here, and Obama told him to get
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: the hell.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 7: Out of here.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: Well, the funding to this lab in Wuhan... See, my
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: problem is the government doesn't level with you. And I
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: don't know for what reason that Fauci's just a creep.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: And I think Fauci should be in jail, in my opinion. Instead,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: he's enjoying a gold-plated retirement. And I think we look at—
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: That's because of the auto pen. Well, I look at
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: the fact that you had people that died alone without
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: their family by their side. In nursing homes and hospitals,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: you had doctors that said, we are having success with
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: ivermectin and hydrochloroquine, and they were punished as a result
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: of it. So I sit back and say, how many
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: lives could have been saved with these alternative treatments? The
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: doctors said, we are seeing patients survive COVID as a
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: result of this. And they were silenced. How many how
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: many people were saying that.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: You can lose your life?
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: Exactly. So I don't necessarily believe what the government is
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: telling me at all times because they lie and they
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: cover things up. I mean, do I sit back and
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: think that I was told the truth about the Kennedy assassination?
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: I doubt it. I don't know enough. And for some reason,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: details are always sketchy when it comes to the Charlie
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: Kirk assassination, when it comes to the two assassination attempts
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: on Trump. Everything is hush-hush. We don't learn enough about
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: any of these situations. And the government's very quiet about
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: all of this stuff. And so a lot of the
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: stuff that the government tells you, I don't necessarily agree
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: with it. I will say this. I think the inflation
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: numbers are low. I don't think they represent actual inflation.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: I think the employment and unemployment numbers are way off.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: I don't care what administration it is because you're not
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: counting people who fall off unemployment. So I think the
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: information that they're peddling us is– tarnished by political influences.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: And I would just like to know the truth. And
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know why that doesn't, I don't know why
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: that doesn't happen. So, Hey, why don't we say what's
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: where the origins of COVID came from? Why isn't anybody
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: being held accountable for it? Why is, why do we
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: just let, let this happen that affected so many people?
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: Why is it that we don't have all the files
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: on the Epstein case? I want everything released for the
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: sake of the victims and to punish those that were
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: involved in all of these activities. I don't care how
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: rich they are. I don't care what type of political
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: influence they have. I don't care what party they're with.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: Where is the justice in this entire scenario? And as
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: I've said a million times, Epstein was created by the
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: intelligence community. It sickens me, whether that's Israel or America
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: or a combination of both, that they would invest in
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: somebody and create somebody that would be running basically underage
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: girls being exploited by old perverts. And that this would
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: be an intelligent operation to get the goods on people.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: And it sickens me. And everybody knew what was going on.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: Epstein Island, the Lolita Express, and the people. It was
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: fairly well known, but it went on anyway.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: And I love how people say, I was on the plane,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: but I didn't do anything.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: Right. And I don't care if Howard Lutnick's involved in it.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: I don't care if Bill Clinton's involved in it. It
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter to me if you're Republican or Democrat. You
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: should be held accountable for that. But once again, you
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: look and you're not going to see justice happen in
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: this case. You're just not going to see justice take place.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 24: I understand.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: But now with the fraud, you're going to see some
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: of it, right?
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: I would like to think so. But once again, like
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: you had that guy from the CIA testifying about the
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: cover up in COVID and you didn't get a single
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: Democrat showing up. Once again, you had Musk out there saying,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: why are we spending billions of your tax dollars on
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: this ridiculous crap that's all sexually oriented in these other countries?
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: And all the Democrats wanted to do was destroy Musk
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: and get rid of him. And they succeeded in it.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: So this waste of your tax dollars and nonsense could
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: continue to go on, making politically connected people rich with
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: these NGOs that you funnel all this money to. And
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: they hire a bunch of... Right, and they all become
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: wealthy as a result of it, and they spend a
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: little bit of the money over in these foreign countries
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: on this ridiculous stuff. And it's like, as a taxpayer,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: do you say, why are we wasting money on this?
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: Why aren't we concerned about the debt? Why can't I
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: keep more of my money? Or the fraud that you
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: see going on in Ohio with DeWine and Medicaid, or
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: in Tampon Tims in Minnesota.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: Well, I can't wait until J.D. gets to Ohio. I
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: can't wait. It's bad. Worse than Minnesota, but go ahead.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, you look around at all this stuff, so
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: you say, do I believe what government tells me? Nine
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: out of ten times, no. I just don't. And you
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: can go back to remember Vietnam, oh, it's a domino effect.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, I know what Vietnam was about.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was just all a crock of crap.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: And 70,000 people died who didn't need to die.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 19: No.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: And then we lied about Agent Orange and the effect
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: that that had on so many.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: About the LSD they put on, they used on the kids.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, so many things that trouble me from my
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: own government that I question anything anymore. Anything.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: Hey, wait a minute. Let's go back to COVID. Do
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: you remember when I called in when COVID, you know,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: back in March of 20? And I said, listen.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: I try to forget your calls right after I hang
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: up on you.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay. I said, oh, come on, Ron. You've got
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: to admit that I was right on this one, because
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: I said, don't take the shot.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: I found out about that. I said, this thing is not..
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: Well, did you take the shot? Did you take it?
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 24: No.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 7: Never.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: But can you imagine we were at a point with
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: these people who said, you either take it or lose
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: your job, which is taking a choice away from people.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: Right there, you've got to be sued on that.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 7: That's ridiculous.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely ridiculous.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: And, but listen, listen. And I said, why not to
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: take the shot? Because it clogs up your capillary veins,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: you know, the small veins, and causes you to have
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: a heart attack. Now, I had a friend of mine, well, actually,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: he wasn't a friend, but he was my brother's friend.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: And he was Mr. Affley. You know what I mean?
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: Down the Y.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 6: Working out.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: And this guy was in great shape. All of a sudden,
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: he died of a heart attack. Joe calls me and says,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: Kenny died. I said, did he take the shot? He said, yep.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 6: I said, okay.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: Well, you would see that with so many young athletes.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: So many people had myocarditis and heart issues as a
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: result of that shot. Yeah. And I'll be fair. Many
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: people have problems as a result of COVID as well.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 7: So..
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: There were people that suffered as a result of the shot.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: There were people that suffered as a result of getting COVID.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: But let's remember where it started, in the damn bio
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: lab funded by Fauci in China. Communist China. It should
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: have never happened. It should have never happened in the
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: first place. And once again, Victoria Nuland lying about the
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: bio labs in the Ukraine that didn't exist until they
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: had to admit they did exist when Putin was coming in.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: Because the Russians exposed it.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: Right, because the Russians are going to all of them
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: to close them down. And then they had to admit, oh, wait, well,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: they were there. Well, there's proof that they were lying
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: to you all along. Yep.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: You're right. But here's one last thing. I went to
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: a dinner last night. It was a nice dinner. And
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: I met this guy.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 8: What did you have?
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: You didn't have Mediterranean food. Did you have normal food?
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: It was. It was Lebanese food.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. What did you eat?
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you. I've got to finish
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: my thought before you throw me off. All right. So
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: we're talking and stuff. And he whispers to me. He goes,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: do you like Trump? I said, yeah. You know, I
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: don't whisper it.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 6: I said, yes.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: And everybody there knows me that knows that, right? Especially
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: the negative people. The negative left over there. And you
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: know what? You know what I found out about these people?
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 7: What?
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: They got so much hate inside of them, Ron.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: And it's amazing. It's like, listen, what are you talking about?
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: They said the United States killed the Lebanese in southern Lebanon.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: I said, no, they didn't. The Jews were trying to
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: get rid of Hezbollah, and they were bombing. Oh, but
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: the United States gave them the bombs. You know what?
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: You know, that's like, Ron, I go to a gun store.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: You had to probably lose your appetite. Did you have Kibbe?
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Kibbe Naeem.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 7: Oh, my God.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: But listen, listen, let me finish. So this guy we're
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: talking to, he can't believe how Trump is still surviving
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: after all the punishment he went through. You know, three assassinations,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: you know, being impeached twice, blah, blah, blah, being sued.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 4: Anyhow.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: So then I found out that he won his lawsuit
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: with the IRS and got a $ 20 billion settlement. And
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: you know what he did today? He dropped it. He said, no,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: he wants to take that money and he wants to
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: use it to start a fund for people that were
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: persecuted by Obama and Biden. And to, you know, to
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: help them financially. Isn't that great of him?
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, so people say, well, he's such a bad guy.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: He just gave up $ 20 billion.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 24: Anyhow.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: So, last thing.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: Please, I'm starting to get to... We were talking about religion.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: Listen, listen. And he said something about Muslims. I said, well,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: Muslims are not a religion. It's a movement. I mean,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: I studied this for years.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 25: And..
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: And the guy says, yeah, that's why, who was the
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: ambassador for England during World War II? You know, the
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: guy from England. Anyhow, I keep on forgetting his name
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: for some reason, but he said that Islam to a
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: human being is like rabies to a dog. And he goes,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: what does rabies do, Dave? I said, well, it makes
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: the dog go crazy.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 24: Bingo.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 6: Is that it?
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: But before I end, Yeah, because really, you're getting on
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: my patience.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: What do you mean I'm getting on your patience?
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: You're getting on my last nerve. I don't know. It
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: just is like starting to get painful.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: Let me end with this. Strike three called. Ball game.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: All right. I can accept that. Thank you. You're on
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: the air. Wow.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 20: I'm sorry, man, but wow.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: What do you mean? I mean, he did a great
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: strike three ball game. I love it when he does that.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: He sounds somewhat like he's doing a good Tom Hamilton.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 20: Well, listen, I'm a Yankees fan.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: You ain't doing Michael Kay.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 6: I don't care.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: We don't care about the Yankees here.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 7: All right, then.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 20: You know, just like you guys hate Democrats, we hate Republicans.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 20: But you threw some bait out there, Ron. And I
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 20: had to bite on it before we go any further.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 20: You were talking about the people that called your show, right?
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 7: Over the years..
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 20: You can't lie because your boss is listening. There's been
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 20: absolutely nobody that brought as much smoke and moved the
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 20: Dow as that guy named Emanuel.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 7: Who calls you.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: Emanuel? That guy's nothing but trouble.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 20: Yeah, but he moves the Dow.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: And he brings smoke.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: And where there's smoke, there's fire.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 20: You better believe it, right? I've been trying for years
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 20: to get you fired, but it ain't going to work.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: You and a bunch of other people.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but let me ask you a.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: Question, right?
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 20: Now, we totally agree that we don't care whose name,
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 20: you know, like if your name's on the Epstein files, right,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 20: then we got a problem with it. Now, I know
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 20: that you don't believe, you know, and it hasn't been
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 20: proven yet, that our president is part of the Epstein files.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 20: But if it comes out that he is, do you
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 20: still support him?
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: He should be held accountable like anybody else. I mean,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: if you're talking about if it comes out that he
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: engaged in those activities with underage women... then you're compromised.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: Somebody was running that operation. If you ask me, I mean,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: I can only speculate. I've told you before. Listen now,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: 570 WKBN. And Ron Verbit, 456 from the Kingdom of Mahoning,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: NewsRadio 570 WKBN. So, Manuel, the point I'm making is
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: I don't care if you're a Democrat or Republican. If
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: you're involved in Epstein in any way, you've been compromised
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: and you should be held accountable. I don't care if
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: you're a Republican or Democrat. Just like I don't care
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: if this Boston mayor is a Republican or Democrat. She's
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: a Chinese spy, basically, or influenced by China, just like
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: Eric Swalwell. He would still be in Congress today if
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: he didn't run for the governor of California. And basically,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: somebody turned on him to put all that out there
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: to get him out of the race. He would still
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: be sitting in Congress. But here was Eric Swalwell on
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: the Intelligence Committee, and he was dating a Chinese spy.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: For the love of God, where's the accountability as an
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: American to say, Eric Swalwell shouldn't be in Washington long
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: before he got thrown out because of running for governor.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: He was a piece of crap, and everybody knew it
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: beforehand and compromised with the Chinese spy. Just as who
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: was the woman that Feinstein had had the Chinese spy driver?
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is ridiculous. It doesn't matter to me
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: what party you're with.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 7: You know what I think is ridiculous?
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: This program?
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 20: No, well, this program is insane. That's ridiculous. What I'm
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 20: saying is this. There should be certain things that you
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 20: shouldn't be allowed to plea bargain.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 7: I would tell her.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 20: Listen, you're looking at 25 years. If you roll over
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 20: and give up the network, you're going to do 20.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 20: I just don't believe that anybody, whatever party you are,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 20: if you are a traitor, I don't believe you should
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 20: get shot. I don't believe in that, right? But I
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 20: do believe you need to do at least a quarter
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 20: of a century in the penitentiary. What do you think
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 20: about that?
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: I would agree with that. And this is after her
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: fiancé got arrested. He had gotten arrested long before she did,
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: and they didn't make the connection at the time. I mean,
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: what was going on here?
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: It's just..
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 20: If they would have told him he was looking at
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 20: 25 years, and if he rolled, well, he'll do 20, he.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 7: Would have gave everybody up. You can't plea bargain this.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 20: When it comes to this country, you cannot plea bargain it, Ron.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: You must start as you're an American first. I don't
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: care who's compromised, a Republican or Democrat with Epstein or
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: who's involved with China. They got to go. You got
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: to have this country's interest.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 7: I'm agreeing with you.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 20: I'm getting off this damn phone. You have a nice day, man.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: He probably is deeply concerned. Ron Verp from the Kingdom

• 1:16:49
  Speaker 10: I'm Mike Daboski. President Trump is dropping his $ 10 billion
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 10: lawsuit against the IRS in exchange for the creation of
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 10: a $ 1. 7 billion fund which would pay alleged victims of
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 10: government weaponization. ABC News National Correspondent Stephen Portnoy.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 27: The House Judiciary Committee's top Democrat calls the idea a
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 27: giant affront to the rule of law. In a statement,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 27: Jamie Raskin of Maryland says Trump has no authority to
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 27: conjure up billion-dollar compensation schemes. Sources tell ABC News the
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 27: $ 1. 7 billion fund would pay out claims to those who
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 27: say they were unfairly targeted by the Biden administration. including
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 27: those who were pardoned for rioting at the Capitol on
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 27: January 6th.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 10: President Trump is returning to Washington right now after a
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 10: summit with President Xi Jinping in China. Those two agreed
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 10: to a vision of constructive strategic stability.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: But former U.S.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 10: Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns says it just gives China
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 10: more leverage if the U.S. is seen to be breaking
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 10: the deal.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 22: This is a trap for the United States. The Chinese
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 22: have tried this before, which is why previous administrations haven't
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 22: agreed to it.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 10: Several updates on the hantavirus outbreak. The one American who
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 10: tested positive for the illness after being exposed aboard that
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 10: Dutch cruise ship may have never had the disease to
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 10: begin with. Experts saying Dr. Stephen Kornfield may have tested
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 10: false positive. He now says he's deciding whether to stay
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 10: in quarantine in Omaha, Nebraska, or go home and finish
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 10: the 42-day quarantine there.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 16: I think everybody in this unit is sort of having
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 16: that discussion with their own health system and with their families.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 16: Some will probably stay here the entire time. Some may
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 16: ultimately go home.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 10: Meanwhile, the two Americans who were split off from the
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 10: original group of Americans exposed to the Hanta virus kept
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 10: at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta have now been transferred
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 10: to that quarantine center in Omaha. And another Harvey Weinstein
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 10: case has ended in a mistrial after a jury found
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 10: itself deadlocked over whether Weinstein raped Jessica Mann, an aspiring actress.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 10: You're listening to ABC News.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: And here's our top secret number if you want to
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: participate till 6.30 tonight. Guardians pregame at 6.30 as we
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: take on the Reds. First pitch a little after 7.

  Speaker 2: On News Radio 570 WQEN 330-729-9977 330-729-9977 We'll get you
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: through this. 330-729-9977 67 Degrees, Ron Verb, NewsRadio 570, WKN
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: from the Kingdom of Mahoning, and you're on the air.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 17: Dave Thomas was really good yesterday. I thought, after all
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 17: the information he gave, how long would that take me
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 17: to find out myself, if I even could put forth
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 17: the effort to find any of that?
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: It would be difficult. Like I say when he's on,
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: he represents everything in politics that you want. He's genuinely
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: a public servant. He's operating in a taxpayer's best interest,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: and he's not– he just– he isn't an egotistical guy.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: He isn't stuck on himself or an egotistical guy. He's
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: a public servant that wants to do the best job
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: he can do for his taxpaying citizens and on a
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: regular basis makes time available to come on the program
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: for the sole purpose of letting us know what's going on.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: And for that, I have a world of respect for him.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 17: Yeah, when he was talking about all that fraud and
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 17: talking about why hasn't anybody figured it out or why
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 17: hasn't anybody said anything about it, it was really interesting.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 17: I was thinking about it afterwards. I was thinking about
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 17: Amy Acton. And I don't know if you noticed, did
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 17: she ever mention why she's even running for governor? Because
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 17: it's kind of similar to why was Tim Walz picked
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 17: as the vice president choice for Kamala Harris? And the
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 17: more information that's come out, it was most likely to
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 17: cover up the fraud, because if you go to the
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 17: vice president, you can stifle a lot of that. I'm
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 17: sure that the fraud that would eventually come out or
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 17: use all that money, then funnel it into the campaign
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 17: for vice president, president. And it's just very suspicious to
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 17: me why Amy Acton, after she gave up, would want
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 17: to run for governor. Has she done anything in between
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 17: since she quit?
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: Not that I'm aware of.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 17: You know in a you look at the other side
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 17: you look at the big rama saw me it's like
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 17: cool i want him to be governor because he had
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 17: bigger aspirations even in ohio it makes sense for him
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 17: to do is good apart the job is possible so
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 17: that he could use that to run for president so
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 17: even if he decided that will you made his whole
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 17: goal in all this was to run for president in
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 17: twenty twenty just get his name out there so that
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 17: eventually he can run for governor in ohio where he
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 17: is now And if that was his ultimate plan, I mean,
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 17: that's genius in itself there, too. And I think enough
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 17: that I would vote for that to be governor of Ohio.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 17: It's just the Amy Acton thing just really, it's just
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 17: suspicious to me. I get why Vivek's right, but why
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 17: would Amy Acton want to run for governor? She's done
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 17: nothing in between, and she quit. And if all this
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 17: Medicaid fraud, you know, ends up finding its fingers and,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 17: you know, pathways back to her, it's going to make
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 17: a lot more sense.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: Well, it seems to me a couple of things. I
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: would like to see Vivek run. Well, he's running for governor.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see him be successful in the campaign
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: because I think he's smart. How about this for a
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: reason why I will vote for him? I agree with
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of the things that he's saying, and that's important,
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: but I also think he's smart. And that's what I'm
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: looking for in somebody to be governor. I'm looking for
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: somebody that is smart enough to run this large operation
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: that we have and to run it efficiently and to
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: stop the fraud and waste. Mike DeWine, doesn't matter to
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: me that he's a Republican, is so disappointing in looking
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: the other way on this stuff. Good riddance to him.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: You and I are alike. We don't think that all
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: Republicans are great when they engage in the kickbacks that
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: we happen to see with the power company and the
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: Speaker going to jail or DeWine looking the other way
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: on some of this kind of stuff. I want accountability
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: for all of this stuff. I want Vivek and I
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: want Amy Acton. I have zero reason to vote for her.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: She's a far-left progressive that will... hurt the state of Ohio,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: in my opinion, like progressives have hurt all of these states.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: All of these states that they're in. What do they do?
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: More social programs? Tax productive people more? We're only going
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: to tax the rich? It always comes down to you
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: getting taxed more. It's just nonsense.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 17: You know, you guys, when you were talking with Dave
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 17: Thomas yesterday, you know, he hit the nail on the head.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 17: I think you brought it out of him. But, you know,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 17: even if DeWine, this whole reason why he wanted the
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 17: fraud to basically go on is because he didn't want
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 17: anybody to take the money away from him. He didn't
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 17: want any kids to go hungry. They suffer, him, some
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 17: of the Democrats, they suffer from this toxic generosity. They
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 17: think they're helping somebody, but really what they're doing is
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 17: they're hurting others. Think of all the other people that really,
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 17: truly do need Medicaid or which, like Dave Thomas said,
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 17: is way lower than the number that are on there now,
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 17: and I think we can all understand that. But don't
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 17: you feel for those people? Don't you feel for the
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 17: people who get up and go to work every day
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 17: and trade their time for money? Don't you feel for them?
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 17: I don't want any kid to be hungry, but you
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 17: know what? Maybe that's the parent's responsibility.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: When I was a kid, it was my dad's responsibility.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: When I brought children into the world, it was my
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: responsibility to as a father. I mean, that's just part
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: of growing up. It's part of what you stand for,
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: and it's being a man.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 12: And that's what I mean.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 17: I don't understand, again, so what did they get? 90%
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 17: from the federal government to subsidize the state Medicaid, and
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 17: then it dropped from 90% to 50%, and they did
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 17: nothing with it?
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, And keep in mind one other thing that
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: you didn't bring up. I'll tell you who else was
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: a lousy governor, and I don't much care for anything
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: he has to say, and he's a Republican, Kasich. As
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: he pointed out yesterday, Kasich expanded, a Republican expanded Medicaid
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: to put people on it that were 25 years old
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: of work age, and he just expanded the roles on Medicaid,
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: and the federal government gave a bonus to do that,
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: if you will, but the bonus went away and we
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: were stuck with the program. So he's a Republican and
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: DeWine's a Republican, and they're both, in my opinion, lousy governors.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 17: And Kasich was neck and neck with Trump in the
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 17: 2015 midterms for the Republican nominee. I think everybody forgets Kasich.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 17: It was Donald Trump and Kasich were the last two
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 17: in it.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 20: So Kasich was just.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 17: Shy of running for the Republican nominee for president. Who
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 17: knows what could have happened?
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's almost like he's a liberal Democrat. When
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: the focus isn't on the productive taxpaying citizen and how
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: much money you're taking from them, and the focus is
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: only on the people that are receiving the money, your vision,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: your priorities are totally messed up.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 17: Here's where things fall short for me, too. You know,
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 17: I watched J.D. Vance in Maine yesterday talking about the
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 17: fraud and all this, and everybody's clapping and everybody's saying, great, good.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 17: At the end of the day, unless something actually happens
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 17: with this, it's a day late and a dollar short.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 17: Because I'm sick of politics. We're going to fight this.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 17: We're going to do this. We're going to get the
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 17: job done. Because these Somalis that are coming here, they
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 17: are not doing this on their own. There's just absolutely
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 17: no way. You don't leave from some third world country,
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 17: come over here and cook up this scheme to defraud
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 17: the government of billions of dollars. So where's the money going?
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 17: They need to find it. They need to arrest these people.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 17: And they need to absolutely.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 6: Throw the book at them.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 17: I mean, you've got Chinese spies being elected mayors. We've
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 17: got 40% of Medicaid in our state going to fraud.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 17: I mean, you talk about property taxes. What's the state
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 17: taking in revenue? You're $ 100 billion in tax revenue, and
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 17: $ 20 billion of it is property tax. Well, if you
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 17: fix just a couple billion just based on fraud, you
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 17: don't even really need to fix the rest of it.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 17: It'll just figure itself out. And that's where I want
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 17: a politician to actually come in and do the job.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 17: And I don't know if it's saying, hey, I'm coming
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 17: and I'm running for one term. I'm not running again.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 17: I'm not coming here to make friends. But then guess
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 17: what happens?
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 7: Then you're the rest of.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 17: Your political party. Well, wait a second. We're not going
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 17: to support you if you're only going to do this
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 17: one time. You know, we can't get behind you. We're
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 17: going to pull a lot of money. So then you
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 17: can't run. And it's just a vicious machine that we're
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 17: stuck in right now. And, you know, you've got other
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 17: people calling in. tripping up trying to know if if
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 17: they don't really have elections like that they have fifty-year
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 17: plan to go running big terms in four-year cycles and
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 17: they're not a democracy they're not a big representative republic
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 17: so yeah molding which i had just worked me to
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 17: disbelief but that that's what we're getting off the subject
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 17: there i just don't understand again i'll get back to
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 17: it i really want to find out why any active
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 17: even decided to run for governor it's just the more
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 17: i think that it's just it's a strange and bizarre.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you would vote for her or
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: her philosophy or take the state of Ohio in that direction,
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: even acknowledging we've had disappointments with the Republican speaker and
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: DeWine in case it could have been disappointments. But in general,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: the Republicans have done more to assist you with Dave
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: Thomas and voting in support of things to get things
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: accomplished to benefit you on putting guardrails in on these
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: ridiculous property taxes. The Democrats have not. done any of
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: that any of that at all, any of it. It's
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: just like in a commissioner's race. Lauren McNally is a
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: left-leaning liberal Democrat. You think I could vote for her
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: for commissioner? Absolutely not. So With Christine Oliver talking about
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: exercising those two options that are available on you, giving
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 2: you some relief on your property taxes, to me that
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: vote is a no-brainer. I mean, why wouldn't you vote
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: for Oliver over a far-left liberal that, once again, doesn't
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: think of the productive taxpayer?
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 17: I can't disagree with you there. Have you had Dane
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 17: Davis on any time recently?
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: I have not, and I have to do that. I mean,
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: he's so busy, but remind me next week, and I'll
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: text him when you're on.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 17: Well, I'm reminding you right now.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't want to bug him on a weekend. Well,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: I will write yourself a note. All right, I'll try to,
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: because I would really love to hear it. As a
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: matter of fact, I'm going to do it right now
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: when you're on the phone.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 7: Wait.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: Wait a second. You're on the phone right now just
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 2: so that you can show. I'm going to show you
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 2: that you have Dane Davis right there. Wait a second.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: Can you come on.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 26: Show next week?
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: With Denny from Rock. Can you go on show next
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: week there? I just text him, okay?
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 17: All right, perfect.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: All right, so if he comes on, you get the credits,
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: all right? Because I am curious what he thinks about
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: what's happening as far as our economy is concerned in
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: this whole thing. His take would be fascinating.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 17: Interest rates are just going through the roof again.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: Why are they going through the roof again? I don't
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 2: understand that, because the Fed... hasn't lowered them or increased them.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, there was talk yesterday about the new Fed guy,
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: we might have to, not him, saying, well, interest rates,
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: they could raise it because of inflation. Listen, I'm going
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: to tell you something. I think you've got to lower
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: interest rates at this point in time because I think
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: the economy's got some serious issues.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 17: All right, we'll have Andrew Smith call in while Dane
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 17: Davis is on. And then see what he has to
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 17: say about that, because I think he would disagree with
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 17: you on that one. Because how are we going to
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 17: do that? How are we going to lower interest rates?
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 17: I mean, I want lower interest rates, but you know
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 17: what that's going to do to inflation again? We've got
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 17: a problem because we printed so much money. So if anybody,
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 17: you know, the new Federal Reserve chairman, I tell you what,
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 17: he's coming in a really bad time. And Jerome Powell,
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 17: he printed... almost half of our currency since he's been in, uh,
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 17: you know, on the fed and he's walking out the
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 17: door and he's leaving the next guy holding the bag
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 17: because he's walking into a complete disaster. All we're doing
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 17: is printing money. And then they get, they get interesting
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 17: with it. It's not quantitative easing. They put more on
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 17: the bank's balance sheets, you know, they're doing funny things
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 17: so that it doesn't look like it's printing money. It's,
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 17: It's all a game. It's all a charade. And at
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 17: the end of the day, we all get screwed. And
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 17: that's why I think Dane Davis could really– he just
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 17: does a good job of explaining in simple terms.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: So would you agree with this? I agree with that.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: Would you agree with this if I lay this scenario
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: on you? To all of you listening, listen, I think
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: economically we're in a horrible place right now. And I
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: think we've had problems ever since COVID, ever since Biden
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: printing all the money and creating all this inflation. I
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: think that that has been a problem. And I think
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: Trump has added to that as a result, whether you
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: agree or disagree with the situation in Iran, with petroleum
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: prices and oil going up and inflation coming back as
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: a result of that. I think economically speaking, we are
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: in a bad place for many of, are working Americans
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: because of inflation, because of taxes, and the cost of energy.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: So I think we're in a really, really bad place.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 2: And I hate to see..
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 4: If.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: You would lower interest rates even by a point, I
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: don't know that... I think that helps people potentially buy
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: a home and get on with their life. I would
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 2: like to see... I would like to see people do
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 2: it as opposed to age out and really never achieve
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: the American dream. Home sales, they're decent here.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 17: Look, in COVID, I refinanced my house at, what, 2.8%
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 17: when interest rates dropped 2.5%.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: That was great.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 17: You can get a better rate on your mortgage. Well,
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 17: what did that do to the price of everybody's home?
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 17: It darn near doubled or tripled in some instances. So
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 17: that's great if you can get a better term on
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 17: your loan for your house, but it's not good if
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 17: the house... triples in price.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not so sure that's why it tripled in price.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, there was a lot of demand. But remember,
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: you had a gazillion people in the country illegally looking
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: for places to rent and what have you. So there's
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 2: many reasons why home prices went up. But if you
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: look in areas... where they went up a lot, like
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 2: particularly Florida, they are coming down. It is more of
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: a buyer's market.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 17: Boom, bust like that. Arizona is a big one too.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 17: You know, like 2008 financial crisis, they, they got hit
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 17: the hardest.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 6: They recovered the fastest.
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 17: So, you know, there's always going to be that outlier for,
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 17: for all these things, but man, I don't, I wouldn't
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 17: want to be the new chairman of the federal reserve
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 17: starting next week. But, um, We might have one other option.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 17: So the Clarity Act passed through the Senate Banking Committee.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 24: Elizabeth Warren, she's just.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 17: A nasty, vile woman who will do anything to undermine
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 17: the American population and do whatever she can to stay
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 17: in power. Nasty. She tried to kibosh the whole thing.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 17: Let's go into the Senate now. So this will be
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 17: the next big vote.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 7: Pass the Senate.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 17: We'll go to Trump's desk. He's hoping and planning to
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 17: sign it and have it all done so he can
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 17: sign it the morning.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 26: Of the 4th of July.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 17: That might be our only next option. for the money
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 17: printing and the interest rates.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: Didn't they say Elizabeth Warren was the problem in allowing
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: JetBlue and Spirit Airlines to merge?
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 17: That's exactly right.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 17: I mean, she's doing everything she can to just undermine
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 17: this country. And she's working for the big banks. That's
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 17: all she does.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: There you go. Thanks, Alec. Appreciate it.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 19: 522.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: I'll be right back.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 28: Hi, Ron.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 26: Do you need anything answered? I just called to tell
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 26: you we have a great weekend.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: You have such words of wisdom to share with all
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: of us, need I ask?
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't know.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 26: I mean, we have a money leak. It's clear in
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 26: Ohio and Minnesota and California. Like, all our politicians magically
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 26: get rich.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine how much of your tax dollars... are
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: really just wasted and fraud on a federal, state, and
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: even local level. How much of your money is mandatorily
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: taken from you and you're screwed as a result of
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: all of that? I mean, just think about it. It
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 2: would be better off in your pocket for you to
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 2: spend as opposed to the fraud that you'll see going
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: on on all these levels. It's very sad.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean, they're just taking it out of the country, too.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 26: I'm serious about we have a money leak. Like, you know,
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 26: it's a ship and it's leaking.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 2: It's like no one cares because it's your tax dollars.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 2: That's the problem. That's the problem. How do they all
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 2: get rich, Ron?
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 7: Really?
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. You answer that for me. How
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: do two hillbillies from Arkansas, when they leave the presidency,
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 2: become filthy, stinking rich? The Clintons. How does a community
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 2: organizer from Chicago become filthy, stinking rich when he leaves office?
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, I understand why Trump's wealthy, because he went
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: into office wealthy. How did Joe Biden become so wealthy
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 2: when his whole life he was just a Joe public servant?
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: How did he become so wealthy? You answer that question
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 2: for me. How does that happen?
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 6: And all of Congress.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Nancy Pelosi. And the rest of them with the
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: insider trading.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's just amazing.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 26: That's why I said it's so hard to sit and
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 26: listen to any talk that doesn't say, you know, arrest
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 26: these people, stop it, whatever it has to do, now. Like,
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 26: not now. some innocuous year after I die or now.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, not the typical in five years from now,
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 2: which is the next term and all that kind of stuff.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 2: I'm with you on that.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 26: Yeah, you know what I mean?
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 2: Here's my question for your great insight, the guru of Gerard.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: That's you, the guru of Gerard. Here's my question. Give
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: me your assessment. What are your thoughts about the situation
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 2: going on in Iran right now?
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 26: Look, I have the Roman philosophy on war. Avoid war
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 26: at all costs.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 11: Costs.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 26: But if you're going to go to war, total destruction,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 26: whatever it takes to win the war. Because you started
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 26: a war. It's a war. So either fight it or
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 26: get the hell out. Because if you don't, this happens.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: And when you say this happens, you mean this of
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: what we're watching right now?
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 26: Yeah, you know, I mean, I think he talks way
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 26: too much about it. It's like about what he is,
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 26: how he's in charge of him. I think he talks
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 26: way too.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 6: Much about it.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 26: I'm not saying that he didn't initially do a good job,
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 26: and he's done a lot of things that I appreciate,
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 26: but on the war, I mean... Dude, you just got
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 26: to shut up and do your thing.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: Stand by. Just stand by. Stand by. I'll pick up
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 2: my conversation with Michael. And more of your calls. We're
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 2: here until 630 tonight. Ron Ferb, NewsRadio 570. WKVN on
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: a Friday afternoon. NewsRadio 570. WKVN. WKVN. All right. So
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 2: let me back up. Do you think this situation, he
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: should have got into this mess in the first place?
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: Yes or no?
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 2: All right, so you think it was a mistake from
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: the beginning. So now give me your assessment as to
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: where it is right now and what you think is,
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: where are we now?
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 26: Well, I think we need to end it violently because
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 26: this is, now we're getting in the same thing that
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 26: happened in Afghanistan. Oh, come in, you know, guns blazing,
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 26: doing good.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 8: Oh, now we're really going to.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 26: Have to kill someone. Oh, okay, so let's wait for
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 26: 20 years and spend... $ 20 trillion and play a political war.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 26: Same thing we did in Vietnam. Like I said, the Romans,
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 26: they avoided war. They came in and said, we want
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 26: to run the place. You said no, they go, okay,
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 26: then we're going to kill everyone. And they would, and
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 26: they had the power to do it, and they did it,
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 26: and it was bad, but then they walked in the
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 26: next place, they go, we want to run the place.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 6: They go, okay.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 7: And I don't know.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 26: Remember, you asked me when I started, do I think
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 26: we even should have been there? No. I don't think that...
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 26: I'm not a big Israel fan of their foreign policy
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 26: and their war policies. And I think they get involved
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 26: in way too much U.S.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 6: Stuff.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 26: So that's me. I said that way earlier. But now
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 26: we're here for whatever reason. The milk already spilled, so...
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 26: Are you going to clean it up, or are you
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 26: just going to let it fester? Because, Ron, you know,
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 26: I don't drive anywhere right now. I get, like, cans
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 26: of soup and peanut butter sandwiches for lunch. You know,
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 26: just because I don't know what's coming next. And if
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 26: that's me doing that, you know me. I mean, I've
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 26: done pretty good. Imagine what other people are doing, how
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 26: they're contracting out of the economy, how dangerous that's going
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 26: to be to everything.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 18: Mm-hmm.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 8: Go ahead.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 2: I'm listening.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 26: Well, you know, he said, that's all I'm thinking about
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 26: is the atomic bomb.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 26: Atomic bomb in Iran.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 6: Okay. Donald, then do it.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 26: Don't come back and tell.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 14: Me what an amazing deal we had. And I'm not
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 14: sure who I'm talking to. And then they take over ships.
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 14: You know, there was no Navy and they took over
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 14: a ship. What'd they do that with?
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 7: Dinghies?
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 6: Like, You know what I mean?
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 26: Just shut up and play war or come home.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: That's the way I feel.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: Thanks for it. Appreciate it, Michael. Appreciate your insights. Guru
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: from Gerard. You're on the air. Wait a minute.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 8: Wait a minute.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: Let me do this. There we go. I've got to
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: do this the right way. All right. You're on the air.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 11: Are you there?
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 19: Yes.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 26: Okay.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 11: First thing I can tell you that you were talking
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 11: about COVID earlier. I know somebody that worked in with
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 11: a mortician and those big clots that they were finding
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 11: in people. Yes. That is true. Absolutely true. I have
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 11: no doubt in my mind this person would never lie
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 11: to me. They told me yes because I specifically asked them.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 11: The second thing is um... the democrats don't care about
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 11: all the people with are feeding the children you know
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 11: helping you know legal and everything that back the only
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 11: come from their ticket because of this and fed and
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 11: their account for congress so they get more congress coverage
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 11: if they have illegal county even if they don't vote
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 11: okay you know I was listening to a couple things. Oh,
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 11: the other thing is the liberals always, always, always bring
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 11: up Donald Trump and the Epstein files. And I can
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 11: tell you right now, Trump never did anything in that direction.
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 11: And the reason why you can say that he never
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 11: did is because if it was there... They would have
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 11: found it. They would have used it years ago.
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: They would have had it all over.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 11: The news stations and everything. They keep saying it, but
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 11: it's a big fat lie. It's one of those Nancy
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 11: Pelosi things. Tell the lie often enough. Get it into
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 11: the media. They'll believe it's true. So they just need
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 11: to shut up about Trump and the Epstein files because,
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 11: you know, it doesn't even make any sense.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: Do you think, though, do you think The focus should
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: be about the victims of this and that anybody that
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 2: participated in it, whether Republican or Democrat, should be brought
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: to justice.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 11: Absolutely. Absolutely. But, you know, they sat on it for
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 11: four years when Biden was in office. They never did
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 11: a thing about it. And the only thing that they
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 11: will say when they talk about the Epstein file is
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 11: Trump's not putting anything out because there's something there on him.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 11: which is absolute crap, like I said, because if they
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 11: had it, oh, my God, they'd have been shouting from
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 11: the mountains years ago. You know what I mean? So, but, yeah,
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 11: I believe, you know, sure. You know, and there's a
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 11: lot of powerful men, and it's both the Republicans and
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 11: the Democrats. There's a lot of powerful men that don't
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 11: want that to come to light because they're there.
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 26: Right.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 5: See?
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 11: So, you know, they're fighting it every step of the way,
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 11: I'm sure, you know.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: I agree, and that's not right. I mean, it's pretty
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 2: creepy that you're a grown man and you want to
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 2: engage in sex with a 14- or 13-year-old girl. I
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 2: don't care if you're Prince Andrew or if you're Bill
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 2: Gates or you're Bill Clinton or you're Howard Lutnick or
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 2: any of the people whose names are out there, not
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: saying they did or they didn't, but it certainly should
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 2: be looked into. And if you did, then you should
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 2: certainly be prosecuted for it. and held accountable for it.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 2: But the problem with the whole Epstein thing is it
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 2: seems like people are upset, and justly so, that there's
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 2: a double standard of justice. I mean, the criticism of
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 2: Trump is Trump kind of reversed himself on what he
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 2: said he would do when he was running, and ultimately,
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 2: for whatever reason, he seemed to reverse himself very quickly
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 2: by saying, oh, you're worried about that? That's old news.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 2: I find that very troubling that he did that. Just
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 2: as I think he reversed himself on a situation going
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: on with Iran because he said, we don't want to
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 2: get involved in foreign entanglements and regime change wars in
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 2: the Middle East. And all of a sudden he changed
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 2: that philosophy that he ran on very quickly. Now, many
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 2: people think it's maybe in both these cases that these
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 2: decisions were influenced by Netanyahu.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 11: I don't think it was influenced by Netanyahu. I think
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 11: it was influenced by Trump is getting told things that
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 11: we have no clue about. And if Iran is so
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 11: close to having a nuclear weapon, then I think if
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 11: Trump knows that, he doesn't want to alarm people. But
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 11: he has been told, and so he knows there's no
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 11: waiting now. The other thing is everybody says, well, he's
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 11: given in, he's given in, he keeps putting the data.
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 11: That man is not dumb. He's gathering information. If they
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 11: have weapons that are still there, what he's doing is
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 11: he's got people figuring it out by watching them and
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 11: seeing what's going on. And if they start up again,
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 11: he's going to go in and just like he did
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 11: the first time, all their... Bombs and munitions and stuff,
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 11: it's going to be wiped out. He's not stupid, you know.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 11: People think he is, but he's not. He plays chess.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 11: He doesn't play checkers.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: All right. I got you. Thank you for your call.
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it. NewsRadio 570. Before I take my next call.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 2: I find this interesting. I pass it along to you.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 2: After Angelo Craig failed to pay a $ 620 property tax bill,
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 2: Cuyahoga County officials began the legal process of seizing his house.
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 2: The same was true when Angela Taylor owed $ 4, 655 to
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 2: against her house in Shaker Heights, and Abraham David, $ 3, 384
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 2: debt in Cleveland, court records show. The county eventually won
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 2: title to all three homes via legal action in county court. Remember,
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 2: as I said, if you fall behind paying your property taxes,
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 2: and these aren't huge amounts, the county can take your
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 2: house from you. You might have lost your job. You
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 2: might have gotten sick. And as they continue to have
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 2: these property taxes escalate, it's very troubling. So anyway, this
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 2: is leading to a class action lawsuit against the county
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: treasurer's office claiming the county unconstitutionally took their money. They
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 2: aren't challenging the foreclosure themselves. Rather, they say the county
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 2: won title to houses that are worth more than the
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 2: tax debt, yet the ex-homeowners aren't being compensated. The Ohio
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 2: Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to take up their challenges
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 2: and meaning arguments about a hot-button political issue of property
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 2: taxes could come before the court in an election year.
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 2: This practice of taking surplus equity violates both the takings
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 2: clause and the excessive fines clause of the Ohio Constitution.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 2: Those are the words of Ben Flower, an attorney for
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 2: the plaintiffs and a former solicitor general for Ohio Attorney General.
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 2: Yet this unconstitutional and unconscionable practice is widespread in Ohio.
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 2: And courts, including the 8th District below, allowed it to persist.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 2: State law allows counties to foreclose on homeowners who fail
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 2: to pay their property taxes. From there, they can auction
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 2: the houses, take the money they're owed, and pass on
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 2: any surplus. But in all three plaintiffs' cases, the house
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 2: didn't sell. The auctions... cash only affairs failed to clear
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 2: the modest legal minimum sale amounts of between 12,000 and 27,000.
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 2: A County spokesperson denied to comment on pending litigation or
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 2: provide data on the County's home foreclosure practice. The plaintiffs
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 2: say the County has seized thousands of homes in this fashion.
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 2: Property records show that, uh, Craig of Cleveland bought the
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: house for $ 5, 500 in August 2021. The average sale price
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 2: that year was $ 155, 000. County officials by that point had
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 2: already filed a case in Cuyahoga County Court of Common
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 2: Pleas to foreclose on the property. The plaintiffs filed their
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 2: lawsuit June 2024. They lost in trial court and again
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 2: at the 8th District Court of Appeals. From here, justices
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 2: will determine the timing of written and oral arguments before
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: making a ruling. So there you go. I mean, you know,
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 2: so these people's homes were taken from them, as they say,
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 2: because of property taxes for small amounts. And then they
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 2: lost everything. Interesting. All right. Onward we go. You're on
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 2: the air.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 7: Hello.
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 11: Ronnie.
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 2: Vince, go ahead.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 6: Ronnie, can I give a shout out today?
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you want?
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 5: A shout-out.
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you want a long-distance dedication? I mean, what am I,
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 2: turning into Casey Kasem? You want a long-distance dedication?
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: It's a shout-out, locally.
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, thank you to the Austintown trustees.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 3: In 32 years living at this street, you know where
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 3: we live, Ronnie, first time the street's been paved. 32 years,
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 3: all my Austintown taxes, finally our street got paid.
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to tell you something. If you want
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 2: to give a shout-out, give a shout-out to Pat Giannetti
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 2: because of that quarter percent sales tax is where a
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 2: lot of this paving money is coming from to be
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 2: able to do streets in the township.
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 3: Pat's a good guy. I'll vote for him two or
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 3: three times.
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 2: Well, luckily, that sales tax was renewed. It's an important tax.
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 2: And I'm glad your street got paved before you departed Earth.
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 3: I was going to say something nice. Now you can
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 3: get your truck in and off the street without avoiding
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 3: the truck holding.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 3: I'll retract that statement.
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm just making an observation. You're not a spring
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 2: chicken anymore.
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 3: But the other thing, Ronnie, has Dick from Dayton, has
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 3: he made that hopeful not call today? Please, Dick, if
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 3: you're listening.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 2: He made it.
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 3: Play your banjo.
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 2: He made it.
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: Play your harp.
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 2: He made it. He made the call.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 3: Stomp your leg.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 2: He made the call. Did he call? Yes.
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 2: Why? Do you think it jinxes the Cavs because he called?
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 2: So you think Dick from Dayton is a jinx?
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 3: I truly do. Now I'm going to have to call
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 3: Mickey the bookie and change my bet. We were going
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 3: to go with the Cavaliers tonight.
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 7: You know what, Ronnie?
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 3: I'm going with them. No matter Dick from Dayton, you
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 3: put the Malookie on us. But anyhow, let's go the
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 3: other way, and we're going to go with the Cavs
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 3: today because I'm dressed in Cavalier colors.
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 2: And I bet they make your eyes gold and white.
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 2: I bet it makes your eyes pop.
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 24: My one good eye?
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, that was the one that you aimed that
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 2: rifle at.
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the one I aimed that rifle at, yes.
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 3: Anyhow, Ronnie, the other thing, too, you know, with all
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 3: this abundance of, what do we call it down in Columbus,
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 3: the rainy day funding?
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 25: Yes, yes.
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 3: Multitudes and multitudes of money. I got a great idea
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 3: for your more intelligent callers out there. No, don't call
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 3: in the guy from Warren, please. You don't fit that category.
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 3: But anyhow, couldn't the governor and some of his posse
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 3: down there say, hey, let's reduce the taxpayer's property tax.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 3: We're going to divert some of this $ 2 billion into each.
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 7: How many counties are there, Ronnie?
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 3: No, there's 88. Maybe divert some of that bountiful money
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 3: to the counties to relieve the taxes that we have
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 3: to pay.
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 2: Right. You're talking about the Somalian fraud. Well, listen, have
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 2: I announced that I've just recently opened Ron's Hospice Care,
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 2: Ron's Learing Center. and Ron's Transportation Center. I mean, I
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 2: figure if the Somalis can do it and get away
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 2: with it in Ohio, why can't I? Forget giving me
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 2: any relief on my taxes. I mean, Ron's Learing Center
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 2: is now open and Ron's Hospice Care. If you need anything, well,
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 2: we just take the money. We don't really provide any services.
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 2: You understand?
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 19: Yes.
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 3: You know what I don't understand? You know, I know
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 3: you get out and about, but you mainly stay in
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 3: the township and everything. You don't get out into the
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 3: inner city. You don't get out to the hinterlands and
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 3: stuff like that. But what I always couldn't understand, these
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 3: kids that drop out of high school, we'll use the
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 3: present East High School. You're in high school. You drop
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 3: out for whatever reason. And then the most crowded parking
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 3: lot when I go up 422 is that, not vocational school,
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 3: but that school that gives out the GEDs. You got
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 3: to pay to go to that school. You had free
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 3: education at the other school. Sometimes I just don't know
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 3: if these kids realize that you drop out and then
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 3: you scurry, get into one of these places to give
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 3: you the GED. GED, you're not, you know, obviously you're
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 3: not thinking with that part of the brain that gives
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 3: you the intelligence.
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 2: But remember this, Ron's Learing Center will give you that
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 2: GED for half the cost of what the other place is,
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 2: and you'll be done in no time.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 3: That's why when all those guys said, no, let's not
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 3: hire him, old man William Winston said, hey, I think
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 3: this kid got a chance in radio. We'll take a
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 3: chance on this young upstart from over there from– Medina.
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 3: We'll give them a chance. We'll give them a chance
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 3: on the radio. Didn't you have to go in front
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 3: of the old man if he liked you? If you
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 3: think you had a cut in your jib, if you
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 3: looked good, he hired you.
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 6: If not, we'll see.
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 1: We'll give you a call.
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 3: Good luck.
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 2: Listen, it's going to be celebrating a 100-year anniversary of
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 2: WKBN Radio coming up later this year. And I want
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 2: you to think about this. I've been on it for
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 2: 41 years. Almost. Up to 100. Up to 100, yeah.
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 2: So that's a lot of years, isn't it? All right.
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 6: All right, we'll see you, bud. Thanks.
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 2: News Radio 570, WKBN and Ron Verb. We'll pause here.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 2: It's 5.52 with you until 6.30 tonight. The Guardians pregame
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 2: around 6.35, and we take on the Reds with first
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 2: pitch a little after 7, so we'll keep it right here.
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 2: Back in a minute. 570 WKBN. Let me get some
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 2: calls on. I think G2' s standing by. I want to
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 2: look at my phone board, too. We want to get
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 2: him on, but first, you're on the air.
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 12: Hey, Ron, how are you?
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, please.
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 7: Good.
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 12: Hey, first, real quick, who is the guy who said
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 12: to text Dane Davis?
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 2: Alec, which I did, and he potentially will be on
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 2: maybe next Friday. Yeah, Alec.
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 12: He's one of the reasons why I started listening to
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 12: your show. He's a brilliant guy. I think his points
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 12: are fantastic.
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 2: He's smart.
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 12: Thank you for having him on. Moving on, though, the
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 12: guy who just was on the show talking about, he
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 12: said that we shouldn't have started the war with Iran,
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 12: but now we should finish it violently. What are your
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 12: thoughts about that?
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 2: I think when we get involved in conflicts, there's a
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 2: reason why we don't win. We have made it difficult
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 2: to win wars with all the rules that are there.
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know if today we would have the political courage.
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was the atomic bombs that brought Japan
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 2: to surrender, and many people, innocent people, died as a
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 2: result of it. But that's what it took to save
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 2: American lives. So in general, I agree.
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 12: I think it's ironic that he said in the end
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 12: about something about Netanyahu and Israel controlling American policy. But
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 12: in the same sentence, I would probably bet that that
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 12: guy would blame Israel for what they're doing in Gaza
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 12: and Lebanon, fighting Hamas and Hezbollah. You know, the party
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 12: line is they need to show restraint, civilian casualties. But
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 12: at the same time, he's saying, well, now that we
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 12: started a war with Iran, it has to end violently.
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 12: So that's just funny. His argument is internally inconsistent because
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 12: you can't claim that you shouldn't have got into it,
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 12: but then now we need to end it violently, which
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 12: presumably I think that he would say that we should
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 12: continue the 1979 policy of sanctions, diplomacy, and containment, which
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 12: just hasn't worked. Iran has been holding the world hostage
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 12: via the Strait of Hormuz for the last 47 years. So,
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 12: I mean, his arguments are just completely inconsistent.
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 6: Absolutely.
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 2: Well, that's all well and good. But I mean, I
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 2: agree with his point. There's a reason why we haven't
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 2: won because we have too many rules put down. I mean,
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 2: when you get involved in things, I think his main
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 2: point was then he didn't agree with it and he
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 2: doesn't agree with it. But it doesn't matter. It's already underway.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 2: And he thinks now you have to do what you
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 2: have to do to be successful in the outcome of it.
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 2: And I don't know that we have the political courage
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 2: that we had that we saw in World War II
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 2: to save American lives.
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 12: Amen, amen.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 7: I completely agree with that.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 12: The other thing about Iran that I think we missed
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 12: is that the Shah, which was a Western-backed leader of
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 12: Iran who was very Western-friendly, he was overthrown by an
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 12: Islamic revolution that was popular by the people of Iran.
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 12: And the people of Iran overthrew him. And so nowadays
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 12: we hear a lot about, oh, the Iranian people aren't
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 12: a fan or don't support the Islamic regime. We need
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 12: the Iranian people to overthrow them. You know, they're the
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 12: exact same people, maybe their children, who overthrew the Western-backed government.
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 12: They chose that Islamist government that took over the Ayatollah.
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 12: So this idea that the... And also, we know from
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 12: history that... If the people revolt and there's a revolution,
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 12: the power.
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 24: Is with the people.
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 12: The people always win, and they haven't won in Iran.
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 12: And so it makes you question, really, how many of
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 12: these people and what's– it's so hard to know what's propaganda.
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 2: And what's really happening on the ground there.
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 7: That is correct.
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 2: How many actually would do that, and it's hard to
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 2: launch that when you have no weapons. Appreciate your call.
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 2: I'll be back in a minute.
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 10: From ABC News. I'm Mike Dabusky. President Trump is about
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 10: to return to the White House after his trip to
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 10: China and his summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week.
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 10: ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Mary Bruce.
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 29: Questions remain about what progress was made here. The president
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 29: came to Beijing hoping to convince Xi to use his
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 29: influence over Iran, one of China's closest allies, to open
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 29: the Strait of Hormuz.
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 8: We did discuss Iran.
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 2: We feel very similar to Iran. We want that to end.
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 29: But it's unclear if she agreed to pressure Iran.
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 10: The conflict in the Middle East is continuing to put
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 10: a strain on prices here at home, with global oil
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 10: prices closing the week up 3% on worries about a
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 10: prolonged market shock if the strait remains shut down. Celia
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 10: Monreal is a mother of five in Tyler, Texas, and
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 10: says she's feeling the pinch at the pump and at
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 10: the grocery store.
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 29: I guess the way that he sold, that he was
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 29: going to better the economy. I voted for Donald Trump,
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 29: which I regret doing, which a lot of people regret doing.
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 10: The CDC now says all the Americans who were on
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 10: board that Dutch cruise ship that saw the hantavirus outbreak
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 10: in recent weeks are now all being held at the
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 10: National Quarantine Unit in Nebraska. Two were transferred from Georgia today.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 10: ABC News medical contributor Dr. Alok Patel says none of
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 10: the Americans are symptomatic, but a French woman is now
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 10: in critical condition in the hospital.
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 23: A hantavirus can affect your heart, your lungs, and your kidneys.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 23: So treatment may involve mechanical ventilation, artificial bypass machines to
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 23: protect the lungs and the heart. That's something called ECMO,
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 23: which some people may refer to as an artificial lung.
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 23: That's fluids, that's blood pressure support. That's everything to protect
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 23: those vital organs.
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 10: Meanwhile, the CDC also tracking an outbreak of Ebola in
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 10: the Democratic Republic of Congo. And Colorado Governor Jared Polis
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 10: has granted clemency to Tina Peters, the former county clerk
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 10: convicted in an election fraud scheme in 2020. You're listening
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 10: to ABC News.
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 2: And back to it, NewsRadio 570, Dodie Kimian, G2, hello.
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 7: Good evening, Ron, how are you?
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 2: I am well. What do you make of it all?
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 2: Let's start with... Some assessments as to the latest happenings.
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 2: Trump in China. How's the war situation looking? Comments, thoughts, perspective.
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 7: I think it's going to be interesting to see what
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 7: comes out of this China trip. And I haven't been
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 7: studying all the media today, so I don't know what
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 7: they're saying, what they're lying about, where they're telling the truth.
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 7: But outside, I heard they were lying about one of
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 7: the Trump boys, but I don't know what that's about.
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 7: But the... The reality is that that Chinese economy is
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 7: heavily dependent upon exports to the United States and Europe.
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 7: We all know that. It's also heavily dependent upon oil
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 7: from Iran.
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 6: We all know that.
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 7: So here these guys are sitting in a situation where
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 7: they're dealing with Trump, who has both his finger on
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 7: their lifeblood from the revenue side, you know, their sales
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 7: into the United States and virtually everything, that our corporate
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 7: master is transferred into that country and he's now got
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 7: his finger on the thumb or on his finger on
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 7: the flow of oil that that makes that economy work
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 7: now you mix that into an economy that's you know
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 7: got some some issues right growth is slowed it's still
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 7: growing at a healthy rate but it's slowed uh... you
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 7: know europe's economies are struggling they're in trouble from an
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 7: energy standpoint and it certainly does not appear that China
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 7: is a sort of, you know, blood brother ally to
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 7: the Iranians, as evidenced by the fact that they've done very,
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 7: very little to help them in this war. Now, again,
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 7: as we've said before, why would you want, if you're
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 7: Xi Jinping or anyone in China, why would you want
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 7: Iran to have a nuclear weapon? No reason. You wouldn't, right?
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 7: It'd be foolish because, of course, they know what this
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 7: Iranian regime is, what it's all about. There's no strategic
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 7: or tactical advantage to China to having these fundamentalist Islamists
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 7: that control Iran have nuclear weapons. So I think this
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 7: is one of the most interesting junctures of economics and
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 7: politics and trade and war and energy that we could
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 7: possibly have. And I'm anxious to see how this unfolds
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 7: over the next few weeks. Whatever the words are that
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 7: are spoken, you know, these kind words about the United States, whatever,
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 7: I want to see what they do. because i could
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 7: tell you that if china brings pressure to iran telling
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 7: them listen you know we also say it's time for
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 7: you to to stop and remember the the settlement with
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 7: iran actually costs them nothing if you settle the strait
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 7: of hormuz is open and you begin to collect your
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 7: four or five hundred million dollars a day if you
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 7: settle you won't get a nuclear weapon but you don't
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 7: have one now you don't give anything up because you
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 7: don't have one now And if you settle, you get
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 7: rid of the threat that the world attacks you because
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 7: they're afraid you're getting a nuclear weapon, which, you know,
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 7: two-thirds of the world is dedicated to you not having.
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 7: I mean, it just is a no-brainer for these people
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 7: to say that's a really good deal for us. Now,
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 7: that takes away the fundamentalist Islamist thought that their primary
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 7: goal in life is to destroy the United States and
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 7: Israel and, you know, be able to conquer, you know, Europe,
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 7: for example. But they're conquering Europe without having any need
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 7: of nuclear weapons. And there's another factor, too. Is any
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 7: of this lack of nuclear weapons stopping Islamists from conquering
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 7: the West? Well, clearly not. The government of Birmingham, the
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 7: second largest city in England..
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 1: Was just.
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 7: Conquered by Islamists in the last election cycle. They've taken
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 7: full control of the government of Birmingham. They've had 11
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 7: years or so with this radical Sadiq Khan running London.
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 7: So think about that as well. They have no tactical
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 7: offensive need to have a weapon.
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 24: To conquer Europe.
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 7: They could just walk in and, what is his name,
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 7: Pedro Sanchez or whatever it is, the guy that's running
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 7: Spain right now, he's their doorman. I mean, that clown,
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 7: that traitor, That demon is standing there holding the door
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 7: to Europe open and saying, listen, you know, the Moors
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 7: couldn't do it in 732, but here's what we're going
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 7: to do. We're going to not only open the door
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 7: for you, we're going to write you a check for
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 7: every soldier you send. And, you know, look, we've got
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 7: a lot of chicks in this town. You can come
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 7: and have what you want. You know, these guys are
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 7: flooding into Europe to conquer it. So they don't need
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 7: a nuke to do that. So what do they give
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 7: up if they settle? Well, just the ability to someday
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 7: sit at the table of nuclear nations.
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 7: The last group of people who wanted to do that
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 7: are now all dead.
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 17: Right?
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 7: So I know that there's a lot of turmoil and
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 7: anarchy inside Iran, and I know we can't see very
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 7: clearly into Iran. Probably at this point, only Mossad can.
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 7: And I'm guessing Mossad has pretty good visibility into what's
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 7: going on in Iran, but they're not going to share
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 7: it with us unless it helps their political and tactical
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 7: and and and uh... strategic goal so you know if
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 7: we're learning from a side true not true that could
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 7: be whatever they want uh... let's say then that china
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 7: are realizing that this war could be extended another couple
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 7: of months and now they're going to be eating into
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 7: that hundred twenty hundred hundred two hundred twenty eight supply
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 7: of reserves they have and that their economy's gonna start
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 7: slow down because europe's not getting the energy it needed
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 7: in trouble within trouble before I mean, there's a lot
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 7: of potential pressure to be brought to bear on this.
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 7: And while I'm not a fan of all these tech
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 7: weirdos that run these big companies that are creating the
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 7: digital control grid to monitor our lives and that sell
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 7: our data around and spy on us every minute of
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 7: the day, I think it probably was a smart move
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 7: to take them with him to China so that Trump
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 7: wasn't sitting there speaking... to China while they wondered if
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 7: he was in communications with their major employer, you know,
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 7: the tech industry for the United States that pumps billions
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 7: and billions of dollars into China every year. But they
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 7: actually flew over with it. So he's now brought our,
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 7: you know, these tech nightmares with him. And while it
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 7: may be a pit of vipers, in the middle of
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 7: that pit of vipers sits Donald Trump negotiating deals. Now,
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 7: I think he wants this war over. And I'm not
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 7: sure who said what earlier, because there's some things I
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 7: caught and didn't. But I don't see any prospect of
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 7: him deciding to send soldiers on the ground any more
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 7: today than we did a week ago or two months ago.
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 7: But short of deploying U.S. ground forces, they've already inflicted
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 7: billions and billions of dollars of damage on Iran, destroyed
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 7: huge elements of its military. not effectively destroying its ground troops.
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 7: Its ground forces are still in pretty good shape, but
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 7: really destroying a lot of it. And, you know, you
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 7: notice they're not nearly as belligerent today as they might
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 7: otherwise be. So we see a lot of good positive
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 7: signs in this war. You see Saudi and UAE pumping
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 7: as much as they can, getting it out to market
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 7: around the Strait of Hormuz, not through it. The United
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 7: States reaching crazy levels of unprecedented production. So the energy
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 7: markets are not as bad as they would otherwise be. It's,
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 7: what is it now, like a 6 million barrel shortage
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 7: now out of 105? This is called 6% for round numbers,
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 7: 7 maybe. That's a big problem in any commodity market,
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 7: and it's going to cause shortages in some places, but
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 7: the use of that material will be prioritized into its
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 7: most critical elements and they are the impact will be
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 7: minimized out a hundred dollar hundred five hundred ten dollar
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 7: oil we're not looking at any relief at the pump
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 7: anytime soon but another another thing i keep hearing that
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 7: i don't understand is that people keep saying well the
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 7: price of oil goes up very quickly but if this
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 7: thing ends and saudi keeps pumping and uae keeps pumping
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 7: the united states keep pumping russia increasing production now other
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 7: countries increasing production Somehow that's not going to have an
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 7: impact on the market. Somehow the prices aren't going to
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 7: come down. This I don't understand because we've seen the
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 7: market go down over and over and over again. Yes,
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 7: there are speculators that have bought cargos at very high numbers.
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 7: They've got forwards at numbers that will be upside down,
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 7: you know, as soon as this war ends. But I
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 7: just don't understand how it is that the world's going
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 7: to keep pumping all this oil. You open up the
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 7: strait and all that trapped oil comes available. And somehow
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 7: prices don't come down. I think they will move down.
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 7: I think they'll move down with relative haste. And we
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 7: will see the world's economic engine begin to engage again
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 7: at a higher level. So that's where I see it.
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 7: I'm anxious to watch the next few days and weeks
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 7: and see what China comes up with. What are we
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 7: now in? Well, we're in week seven, is it, of
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 7: this war? So it's a pretty short engagement so far.
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 7: I don't think anybody's anticipating a 20-year engagement or a
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 7: 10-year engagement or even a five-year engagement. And I don't
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 7: think Iran can hold out that long because, as I
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 7: always say, the cost of tyranny is high. And if
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 7: you're losing $ 400 million to $ 500 million of oil revenue
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 7: a day, and that's the majority of your exports, you're
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 7: going to have a hard time maintaining your firm grip
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 7: on control of your country when there's no money to
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 7: pay anyone. When fundamental goods... aren't showing up when you've
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 7: lost a lot of your military positions, where you've had
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 7: this turnover now, let's call it two rows deep into leadership.
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 7: That's a heck of a hard position to be in.
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 7: And I'm glad it's them and not us. So that's
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 7: kind of where I'm at right now. I'm anxious to
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 7: stand by and see what comes.
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 2: Every day's an adventure, G2.
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 7: We live in an absolutely fascinating time. It'd be nice
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 7: if the stakes weren't so high. And just to that point, remember,
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 7: in my view, there's nothing in Iran or China or
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 7: Russia or even Europe, our greatest threat, that matches the
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 7: threat we have from our enemies domestic and their attempt
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 7: to destroy the systems that made this country so great
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 7: for these 250 years. There is no threat on this earth.
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 7: as dangerous to the United States and to the American
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 7: people as these radical leftists, as this bizarre Democrat ideology
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 7: that they've adopted. You know, I was talking to somebody
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 7: today about Barbara Jordan, if you remember her. If Barbara Jordan,
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 7: the famous Democrat, for those that don't remember her, she
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 7: was from California, I believe, and she did some fantastic
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 7: speeches on immigration. If Barbara Jordan was alive today, they'd
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 7: be calling her an alt-right radical. She would be a MAGA,
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 7: what is that Ted Cole all-time MAGA cult? She'd be
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 7: in the MAGA cult?
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 6: I mean, if.
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 7: Barbara Jordan was reincarnated and showed up today at a
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 7: Democrat rally, they would kill her. Because, as you know,
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 7: they're full of hate. So, you know, it's just interesting
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 7: to see how all this has changed. And again, there
• 2:16:13
  Speaker 7: is no threat on this earth. to this United States
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 7: as dangerous as these lunatics inside this nation's borders.
• 2:16:25
  Speaker 2: The enemy within.
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 7: The enemy within.
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 25: Hmm.
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 7: And they want us divided, right? Race, gender. Who do
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 7: you want to have sex with? Oh, let's separate you
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 7: on that. I mean, I know people that are gay
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 7: that think that Christians want to kill them. And they're
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 7: totally sincere and they believe it. I mean, they want
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 7: us divided into as many little pieces as they can because,
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 7: of course, as we've said before, e pluribus unum turns
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 7: around to e unum pluribus, right, out of one many,
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 7: and they know that to destroy the United States, to
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 7: get control of the carcass that's left, you've got to
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 7: divide this country's people.
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 2: And it seems, and bring a bunch of people in.
• 2:17:12
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, you've got to replace them because.
• 2:17:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, remember when they said the replacement theory was
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 2: a crazy conspiracy theory? And yet you see it all
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 2: over the world.
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 7: And it's in a U.N. document. I mean, I was
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 7: reading it. The replacement theory is written down and published
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 7: by the United Nations. It's not a... It's not even
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 7: a theory. It is a conspiracy, but it is in
• 2:17:43
  Speaker 7: fact not a theory.
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 2: Well, look around. You're living it. You see it happening.
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 2: They're watering down your influence. your citizenship, by bringing others
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 2: in and changing the dynamics of your community.
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 7: They wrote it down. They talked about it at conferences,
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 7: and then they did it. And people say, but why?
• 2:18:03
  Speaker 7: Why would they want to do this?
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 2: And that's how you get Ilhan Omar in Congress.
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 7: Absolutely right. So you put them in concentration in places
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 7: where they don't have to assimilate so that they can
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 7: then begin to affect the politics, local, school boards, and national,
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 7: from those readouts, from the keep inside their castle. So
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 7: why would they do that? What's so bad about these
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 7: Europeans and Americans?
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 17: Why?
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 7: Do you hate Irish so much that you want to
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 7: bring in 5 million Indians and permanently change that country? Well,
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 7: it's pretty clear. You know, since, what was it, 1250?
• 2:18:45
  Speaker 7: The people of the West have accepted, or expected, rather,
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 7: to have a voice in their government. They reject, as
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 7: a matter of custom, they reject government corruption, even though
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 7: we see it all around us. We're not doing anything
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 7: about it. They do not accept feudalism and have fought...
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 7: many revolutions to get over it, to get away from it,
• 2:19:04
  Speaker 7: including the one that was successful here. So this idea that,
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 7: you know, that this political class can put us into
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 7: a situation of tyranny where they're going to sit on
• 2:19:14
  Speaker 7: top as the tyrant, you know, we're a problem. We
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 7: don't accept that. But if you bring people in from
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 7: the Middle East, they have no idea what you're talking
• 2:19:24
  Speaker 7: about if you talk about freedom and prosperity. I mean,
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 7: they know prosperity from selling oil to the West. but
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 7: they don't understand economic freedom. They don't understand personal freedom.
• 2:19:33
  Speaker 7: They don't understand in most countries security and safety. They
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 7: definitely understand and expect and accept tyranny because every one
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 7: of their countries is tyrannical. And corruption isn't just accepted.
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 6: It is expected.
• 2:19:48
  Speaker 7: It is anticipated that if you get elected to the
• 2:19:52
  Speaker 7: school board of the township, you are going to take
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 7: money from the school board of the township. You're going
• 2:19:56
  Speaker 7: to steal it. It's an Much of the world's culture,
• 2:19:58
  Speaker 7: this may seem foreign to people, but it's true. If
• 2:20:02
  Speaker 7: you talk to people in certain countries that get, let's say,
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 7: put into a role where they're an engineering manager with
• 2:20:07
  Speaker 7: a procurement role, it is expected that the vendors will
• 2:20:10
  Speaker 7: pay them a fee to get that contract. It's built
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 7: into the pricing. So... So it's hard for us culturally
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 7: to understand that. But if you are one of these
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 7: lunatics that want to be dominating the globe with you
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 7: and your sick friends that hang out at places like
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 7: Epstein's Island and that weird castle in Eyes Wide Shut,
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 7: if you're one of them, well, then you absolutely think,
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 7: first of all, you could replace all these stubborn Westerners
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 7: with more compliant people from the third world who will
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 7: do anything for one more grain of rice or one
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 7: more tortilla. And who will accept anything you do, whether
• 2:20:49
  Speaker 7: it be corruption or maybe having crazy parties on an
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 7: island with underage people. So that's what they want. That's
• 2:20:58
  Speaker 7: the ultimate goal, a feudalist system where these masters of
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 7: our new paradigm, the masters of our new reality, are
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 7: free of ethical, moral, and legal restrictions and have access
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 7: to unlimited wealth.
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 2: Back in a minute. News Radio 570 WKBN. With the G2,
• 2:21:20
  Speaker 2: why do people like Tucker Carlson say that the spender
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 2: of the house is the worst one at his job?
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 7: Well, I think, well, first of all, it's a robust
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 7: competition between the spender of the house and the trader Foon.
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 7: Why do they, give me your thoughts.
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 2: On why do they say that?
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 7: Why do we call them that?
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 7: You know, first of all, these two people have fought
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 7: against every element of the American agenda. They lie to
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 7: us on a regular basis, and they trot out silly
• 2:21:57
  Speaker 7: things like, we always talk about this, the filibuster and
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 7: the parliamentarian in the Senate, neither of which is in
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 7: the Constitution, to say that, well, we just can't save
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 7: this country. Sorry, it's too hard. And it's unacceptable. So
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 7: I don't know whether they're the worst because it's been
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 7: a long line of treachery and treason and failure and
• 2:22:19
  Speaker 7: refusal to represent the people. But I will say that
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 7: if the American people don't stand up and start demanding
• 2:22:25
  Speaker 7: representation from Republicans and Democrats, I mean, not representation for
• 2:22:31
  Speaker 7: the big oligarchs, not representation for the AI companies, not
• 2:22:34
  Speaker 7: representation for China or India, representation for the United States citizens.
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 7: for our economic and constitutional protections, our economic interest and cultural.
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 7: If we don't do that, we're done. And right now,
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 7: I can't point to any more than a handful of
• 2:22:51
  Speaker 7: people in Congress who represent the United States citizen.
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 2: Very troubling. Very, very troubling. I mean, to get the
• 2:23:02
  Speaker 2: America First agenda somewhat in concrete so the next president
• 2:23:08
  Speaker 2: just can't over- do away with the executive orders, whoever
• 2:23:11
  Speaker 2: that might be.
• 2:23:12
  Speaker 7: That's right. And we're blaming Trump for this, and he
• 2:23:15
  Speaker 7: deserves some blame. But the truth is, this is the
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 7: Republicans and Democrats in Congress conspiring against us on a
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 7: daily basis. That's why I said what I said on Wednesday,
• 2:23:27
  Speaker 7: which is, if we want to pass an election security
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 7: bill like the Save America Act, we should build into
• 2:23:33
  Speaker 7: it a commission for Congress. Rather than sending all these
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 7: billions and billions to some NGOs, that have to filter
• 2:23:40
  Speaker 7: it through different companies and pay people's cousins. Let's just
• 2:23:44
  Speaker 7: pay them a commission. Let's put a million dollars in
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 7: that bill for every member of Congress, not bribe, it's
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 7: in the law, put it in the law, and pay
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 7: them each a million dollars to represent the American people.
• 2:23:55
  Speaker 7: At this point, we can't compete. As a matter of fact,
• 2:23:57
  Speaker 7: Spender Johnson just went out to the podium and explained
• 2:24:02
  Speaker 7: why they have to do insider trading, which would put
• 2:24:05
  Speaker 7: any of you in jail. They have to do that
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 7: because they're not paid enough. AOC made the same claim
• 2:24:10
  Speaker 7: a few years ago. So let's just take them at
• 2:24:12
  Speaker 7: their word. They're doing this because they want the money.
• 2:24:16
  Speaker 7: Other people pay them more than us. So let's put
• 2:24:19
  Speaker 7: a million dollars for each member of Congress to be
• 2:24:22
  Speaker 7: paid to them or their designee, half up front and
• 2:24:25
  Speaker 7: half over four years, even if they leave Congress, as
• 2:24:29
  Speaker 7: long as they don't do anything to weaken our election security.
• 2:24:32
  Speaker 7: Put that in the Save America Act, and the cost
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 7: is $ 535 million. And we get election security, which is
• 2:24:38
  Speaker 7: one of the most critical elements of saving this country.
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 7: Let's just pay these criminals.
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 2: I think I hear a little bit of sarcasm here,
• 2:24:47
  Speaker 2: but the reality is, I hope, but the reality is
• 2:24:50
  Speaker 2: they should be doing the right thing without being bribed.
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 7: They should. Yeah, they should be, but they're not going to.
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 7: And again, Johnson just said it. We have to use...
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 7: of cheating in the stock market to make money because
• 2:25:04
  Speaker 7: you don't pay us enough.
• 2:25:06
  Speaker 2: But if you Joe Bagadonis would do that, you would
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 2: go to jail.
• 2:25:09
  Speaker 7: And you may make a lot less than he makes.
• 2:25:12
  Speaker 7: But here's what he said. You're not going to get
• 2:25:14
  Speaker 7: this quality of representation. We're going to have a downgrade
• 2:25:18
  Speaker 7: in the quality of people that go to Congress. Can
• 2:25:20
  Speaker 7: you explain to me how that gets worse? Worse than this? No,
• 2:25:25
  Speaker 7: there's no sarcasm. I'm telling you I think we should
• 2:25:27
  Speaker 7: put a million dollars in that bill for every one
• 2:25:30
  Speaker 7: of these people. And I think we should pay it
• 2:25:33
  Speaker 7: to them in cash. Again, remember their designee. Have over
• 2:25:36
  Speaker 7: four years. And for the next bill we need, put
• 2:25:39
  Speaker 7: another million in. Because they're getting paid by K Street.
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 7: They're getting paid by the lobbyists. They're getting paid through
• 2:25:45
  Speaker 7: stock tips. Remember how this works, right? Congress does a
• 2:25:49
  Speaker 7: favor for a company. The company then gives a stock
• 2:25:52
  Speaker 7: tip to Congress, and Congress then makes money on the trades.
• 2:25:55
  Speaker 7: That's how it works. Like, they're not pretending it doesn't
• 2:25:58
  Speaker 7: work like that. They know it. We know it. We
• 2:26:00
  Speaker 7: know they know it. They know we know they know it.
• 2:26:03
  Speaker 7: So just pay them. Because if we don't pay them,
• 2:26:06
  Speaker 7: they're going to steal it. And while they're stealing that money,
• 2:26:09
  Speaker 7: they're serving that company that's giving them the stock trip. Tip,
• 2:26:12
  Speaker 7: not the American people. Let's just pay them.
• 2:26:18
  Speaker 2: All right, we're out of time, G2. Always good to
• 2:26:21
  Speaker 2: have a short slice of insight from G2. Have a

• 2:29:07
  Speaker 31: We'll start with the Guardians. They're a $ 1. 40 favorite over
• 2:29:09
  Speaker 31: the Reds. The total is eight. Next door, Cavs. Game six,
• 2:29:13
  Speaker 31: they're minus four. Total there, 210.5. And let me give
• 2:29:16
  Speaker 31: you a baseball money line I like tonight. I am
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 31: going with our old buddy Aaron Savali. and the Athletics
• 2:29:22
  Speaker 31: to beat the Giants. Now, Savali has been on fire
• 2:29:25
  Speaker 31: in his last three starts. In fact, he's given up
• 2:29:27
  Speaker 31: only one earned run in his last 16 innings. The
• 2:29:30
  Speaker 31: Giants counter with Tyler Molle. He's got a 5.18 ERA,
• 2:29:35
  Speaker 31: and he comes off an outing where he gave up
• 2:29:36
  Speaker 31: four runs. and two homers, and he's in a ballpark
• 2:29:39
  Speaker 31: tonight that yields a lot of homers. I like the athletics.
• 2:29:42
  Speaker 31: That's my play of the day. Now, you can join

  Speaker 15: Welcome back to Guardians Warm-Up, and the 2016 American League
• 2:30:07
  Speaker 15: Championship team reunion has been taking place this weekend. Jan
• 2:30:11
  Speaker 15: Goms has joined us, and Jan, you were such a
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 15: heart and soul guy for those clubs as you really
• 2:30:16
  Speaker 15: established yourself as a top-tier catcher in the American League.
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 15: But for you, when you look back on that, what
• 2:30:23
  Speaker 15: was the World Series like for you as you were
• 2:30:25
  Speaker 15: trying to come back from injury and contribute in any
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 15: way you could?
• 2:30:29
  Speaker 28: Yeah, it was... I mean, we've all talked about it
• 2:30:33
  Speaker 28: like the last couple of days. It was, um, we,
• 2:30:36
  Speaker 28: we kind of didn't know what was happening to be
• 2:30:38
  Speaker 28: honest with you. We, uh, um, we fought so hard. We,
• 2:30:41
  Speaker 28: we were playing good baseball and it was all happening. Um,
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 28: but personally for me, I ended up getting hurt in
• 2:30:47
  Speaker 28: the middle of the year, trying to make my way back,
• 2:30:49
  Speaker 28: got hurt again. But, um, just being a part of
• 2:30:52
  Speaker 28: that ball club, you know, getting, you know, to play
• 2:30:54
  Speaker 28: some games and getting to, to see that momentum of
• 2:30:58
  Speaker 28: every game, you know, becoming more and more special was, uh,
• 2:31:02
  Speaker 28: It was a great time, even though, again, personally, I
• 2:31:06
  Speaker 28: didn't get to play very much during those series until
• 2:31:09
  Speaker 28: the World Series. But it was a super special moment.
• 2:31:13
  Speaker 28: It was something that no one could take away from us.
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 28: We had a great time, for sure.
• 2:31:18
  Speaker 15: People talk about chemistry on good teams so often. What
• 2:31:22
  Speaker 15: was it about this group that you kind of grew
• 2:31:25
  Speaker 15: up with that became so special so quickly?
• 2:31:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, you said it.
• 2:31:28
  Speaker 28: It was a good group of guys that, like, you know,
• 2:31:31
  Speaker 28: we can call it a core, we can call it
• 2:31:32
  Speaker 28: a nuclear, whatever it was, but it was, we had
• 2:31:36
  Speaker 28: a lot of guys that were coming up together at
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 28: the same time, having kids at the same time, we
• 2:31:40
  Speaker 28: were spending a lot of time together, and getting to
• 2:31:44
  Speaker 28: have that moment together was really special, and what was
• 2:31:48
  Speaker 28: really cool about it is anytime someone new came in,
• 2:31:52
  Speaker 28: we were very open, very welcoming, you know, Andrew Miller,
• 2:31:56
  Speaker 28: Coco Chris, Brandon Geyer, they all became just a easily
• 2:31:59
  Speaker 28: a part of the family, and it helped us big time.
• 2:32:03
  Speaker 15: You mentioned those three coming in. As a player on
• 2:32:06
  Speaker 15: a team where that's happening, what does that tell you
• 2:32:09
  Speaker 15: about the intentions of the front office and everything else
• 2:32:12
  Speaker 15: that goes along with it?
• 2:32:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you get to play long enough.
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 28: Whenever that trade deadline comes, you're going one way or.
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 2: The other, right?
• 2:32:21
  Speaker 28: So you're adding or you're scuffling and you're subtracting. And
• 2:32:25
  Speaker 28: whenever we start getting guys like, Andrew Miller, Chris, and
• 2:32:29
  Speaker 28: Brandon Geyer, you know we're going for it. So definitely
• 2:32:32
  Speaker 28: gives us a nice momentum, a nice confidence that the
• 2:32:35
  Speaker 28: front office believed in us.
• 2:32:37
  Speaker 8: But it was really cool.
• 2:32:38
  Speaker 28: They gelled really easy, became huge roles of our team
• 2:32:43
  Speaker 28: at that time, and happy that we got to be teammates.
• 2:32:46
  Speaker 15: Jan Goms is joining us, and you were lucky enough
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 15: to go on and win a World Series later in
• 2:32:52
  Speaker 15: your career with another team. When that happened for you,
• 2:32:56
  Speaker 15: Did any of this from 16 come back into your
• 2:32:59
  Speaker 15: thoughts as, wow, that would have been cool if it
• 2:33:02
  Speaker 15: could have been Cleveland?
• 2:33:02
  Speaker 28: Yeah, I think I've said it multiple times how cool
• 2:33:06
  Speaker 28: it would have been to have finished that off with
• 2:33:09
  Speaker 28: this team. But I can tell you that the second
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 28: time going into a World Series, I was way more prepared.
• 2:33:17
  Speaker 28: I think you start to realize that moments don't get
• 2:33:20
  Speaker 28: any bigger than that.
• 2:33:21
  Speaker 8: And you learn..
• 2:33:24
  Speaker 2: You learn a little bit more of the pace of
• 2:33:25
  Speaker 2: that game.
• 2:33:26
  Speaker 28: Playoff series, playoff games are a lot different than regular
• 2:33:29
  Speaker 28: series games. So you learn to slow the game down,
• 2:33:33
  Speaker 28: be more present, and understand that little moments can't escalate
• 2:33:37
  Speaker 28: to big moments. But we can definitely be able to
• 2:33:42
  Speaker 28: have those conversations in the dugout where we can slow
• 2:33:45
  Speaker 28: those little skids, wherever it's an error or anything, which
• 2:33:49
  Speaker 28: I know in the first time around, the game can
• 2:33:51
  Speaker 28: speed up. So I know whenever I went in 19
• 2:33:56
  Speaker 28: with the Nationals, I was way more prepared. At least
• 2:34:00
  Speaker 28: I thought so.
• 2:34:00
  Speaker 2: And it ended up we put a ring.
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 15: You're retired now as our most, except for Hosey, I think.
• 2:34:06
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 2:34:07
  Speaker 15: But you look at your career, and you got that
• 2:34:09
  Speaker 15: chance here. When it was all said and done, and
• 2:34:13
  Speaker 15: you did decide to retire... Do you feel good about
• 2:34:15
  Speaker 15: your career? Because it seemed like anyone who plays as
• 2:34:17
  Speaker 15: long as you did, that's a solid major league career.
• 2:34:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I do.
• 2:34:21
  Speaker 28: I think it's one of those things where you're going
• 2:34:23
  Speaker 28: to have questions at the end of your career, whether
• 2:34:26
  Speaker 28: you could have done more. But I feel like I
• 2:34:29
  Speaker 28: left my mark in the game. I gave it my
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 28: best every day I was on on the field. I
• 2:34:33
  Speaker 28: never left anything for granted. And I thank a lot
• 2:34:37
  Speaker 28: of guys that I got to play with for that.
• 2:34:39
  Speaker 28: I know Tito as a manager was a huge influence
• 2:34:42
  Speaker 28: on me. Sandy was the same way. So I felt
• 2:34:45
  Speaker 28: like any game that I played, I was playing it
• 2:34:48
  Speaker 28: like it was my last, and I hope that that
• 2:34:51
  Speaker 28: was the impact I left.
• 2:34:52
  Speaker 15: Jan, great to see you.
• 2:34:53
  Speaker 2: Thanks for coming by. Absolutely.
• 2:34:54
  Speaker 8: Thanks, Rosie.
• 2:34:55
  Speaker 15: That's Jan Gomes, catcher for the 2016 American League champion
• 2:35:01
  Speaker 15: Cleveland Guardians.
• 2:35:01
  Speaker 19: Stay tuned.
• 2:35:02
  Speaker 15: More to come after this.
• 2:35:03
  Speaker 32: Progressive knows sports brings people together, but you've got to
• 2:35:06
  Speaker 32: feel bad for people who don't even get it. Some
• 2:35:08
  Speaker 32: people will never know what it's like to see their
• 2:35:10
  Speaker 32: favorite team's hopes decided by a ping-pong ball to draft
• 2:35:12
  Speaker 32: the next superstar.
• 2:35:15
  Speaker 5: Or not.
• 2:35:16
  Speaker 32: I mean, sure, it's silly for your happiness to hinge
• 2:35:18
  Speaker 32: on the success of a 20-year-old entry-level employee, but you
• 2:35:20
  Speaker 32: just can't help yourself.
• 2:35:21
  Speaker 33: The stress is exhilarating.
• 2:35:22
  Speaker 32: Progressive can't bring people together like the draft, but we
• 2:35:26
  Speaker 32: can bring your home and auto insurance together with a bundle.
• 2:35:28
  Speaker 32: So switch and see if you could save hundreds. Progressive
• 2:35:30
  Speaker 32: Casualty Insurance Company affiliates and other insurers not available in
• 2:35:32
  Speaker 32: all states or situations.
• 2:35:34

• 2:35:36

• 2:35:40

  Speaker 2: Beth, you're always there for me, and not a moment
• 2:35:49
  Speaker 2: too soon.
• 2:35:51
  Speaker 29: Are your neighbors bowling with grand pianos again?
• 2:35:53
  Speaker 2: And apparently raising livestock?
• 2:35:55
  Speaker 7: Ew.
• 2:35:56
  Speaker 18: For every financial need, we'll meet you in the moment.

  Speaker 15: Nice night for baseball downtown, and when we come back,
• 2:37:42
  Speaker 15: Tom Hamilton will visit with manager Stephen Vogt, the Key
• 2:37:45
  Speaker 15: Bank Manager Show next.
• 2:37:58
  Speaker 18: Hi again, everybody, with Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt. This is
• 2:38:01
  Speaker 18: Tom Hamilton. Welcome to the Manager's Show. It's brought to
• 2:38:04
  Speaker 18: you by KeyBank. Off day yesterday after, in essence, a
• 2:38:08
  Speaker 18: two-week run. That's mammoth, isn't it?
• 2:38:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it was huge. I mean, what a long trip.
• 2:38:12
  Speaker 35: Sacramento to Kansas City and then home for six more games.
• 2:38:16
  Speaker 8: Man, our guys played well. What a great stretch we had.
• 2:38:19
  Speaker 35: Anytime you have a trip like that and a long stretch,
• 2:38:22
  Speaker 35: you don't know how it's going to go.
• 2:38:23
  Speaker 8: But we were able to win more than we lost,
• 2:38:25
  Speaker 8: and we played some good baseball.
• 2:38:26
  Speaker 18: Voter, you've played well here at home, especially pitching. Your
• 2:38:29
  Speaker 18: ERA is more than two runs lower at home than
• 2:38:33
  Speaker 18: on the road. Now, some of that might be weather-related,
• 2:38:35
  Speaker 18: but you also have to pitch in that.
• 2:38:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they've been great.
• 2:38:38
  Speaker 35: I mean, our starting rotation as a whole has been
• 2:38:40
  Speaker 35: very good, and the bullpen has just been phenomenal here
• 2:38:43
  Speaker 35: as of late, and really the majority of the year.
• 2:38:46
  Speaker 35: It kind of had a week where they kind of
• 2:38:47
  Speaker 35: gave up some runs, but outside of that, it's been phenomenal,
• 2:38:50
  Speaker 35: and we're pitching well, we're playing good defense, and we're
• 2:38:53
  Speaker 35: getting hitting when we need it, and You're going to
• 2:38:55
  Speaker 35: have games where you don't, but for the most part,
• 2:38:57
  Speaker 35: I've been really pleased with our at-bat quality.
• 2:38:59
  Speaker 18: Well, and the bullpen kind of continues to evolve. You
• 2:39:02
  Speaker 18: do have that guy in the ninth inning. I mean,
• 2:39:04
  Speaker 18: right now, Cade Smith looks locked in.
• 2:39:07
  Speaker 35: Yeah, especially the last two outings. I think we really
• 2:39:10
  Speaker 35: saw a different version of Cade. We saw the version
• 2:39:13
  Speaker 35: of Cade we're used to, and it's.
• 2:39:15
  Speaker 8: Been a process.
• 2:39:16
  Speaker 35: Pitchers go through lulls where they lose their mechanics or
• 2:39:19
  Speaker 35: something just feels a tick off.
• 2:39:21
  Speaker 8: But, man, when Cade's dialed, isn't he great?
• 2:39:25
  Speaker 18: Well, I mean, right now you wonder how does a
• 2:39:27
  Speaker 18: hitter even figure out what's coming next? And the results
• 2:39:30
  Speaker 18: are three punch outs every inning. That being said, voter,
• 2:39:34
  Speaker 18: it's a little different than a year ago. 7-8-9 was
• 2:39:37
  Speaker 18: pretty clear cut. More mixing and matching now?
• 2:39:39
  Speaker 35: Yeah, I mean, I think if you've looked at the
• 2:39:41
  Speaker 35: last couple years, at least since I've been here, you know,
• 2:39:44
  Speaker 35: we don't have clear set roles.
• 2:39:45
  Speaker 8: We don't have a seventh inning, eighth inning, ninth inning.
• 2:39:47
  Speaker 8: It's more matchup based.
• 2:39:48
  Speaker 35: And I think we're really starting to see we have
• 2:39:51
  Speaker 35: a lot of pieces that we can fit into that
• 2:39:53
  Speaker 35: puzzle right now. It's a good problem to have, and
• 2:39:56
  Speaker 35: with both lefties being as dominant as they are and
• 2:39:58
  Speaker 35: three or four really good righties and some pretty good
• 2:40:01
  Speaker 35: mop-up guys as well. So we feel really good about
• 2:40:03
  Speaker 35: the state of our pen. We're going to continue to
• 2:40:05
  Speaker 35: look for the best matchups possible for guys.
• 2:40:07
  Speaker 18: Can you explain Eric Cebrowski's success? He doesn't throw 98, but,
• 2:40:12
  Speaker 18: I mean, he's getting almost two strikeouts an inning. One
• 2:40:16
  Speaker 18: thing we do know, he's fearless, isn't he?
• 2:40:18
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he is. He's fearless. But also his fastball, you know,
• 2:40:21
  Speaker 8: it's not a normal four-seam. It plays up.
• 2:40:24
  Speaker 35: It's got 22 inches of vertical ride, and that's ridiculous.
• 2:40:28
  Speaker 35: So essentially you've got to try and swing a miss
• 2:40:30
  Speaker 35: over the top of his fastball if you want to
• 2:40:32
  Speaker 35: hit it is basically the best way to describe it.
• 2:40:35
  Speaker 35: And so he's got good extension. He's coming at you,
• 2:40:37
  Speaker 35: and he's got two really good breaking balls to couple
• 2:40:39
  Speaker 35: with it. So when Eric's throwing strikes, he's one of
• 2:40:42
  Speaker 35: the best.
• 2:40:43
  Speaker 18: I know how proud you are of me right now.
• 2:40:45
  Speaker 18: I went three minutes before I asked you the batting lineup.
• 2:40:49
  Speaker 18: You've got Chase DeLauder again hitting third with Jose Ramirez
• 2:40:53
  Speaker 18: in the two-hole. Do you want to see how this
• 2:40:55
  Speaker 18: goes for a while?
• 2:40:56
  Speaker 2: You know, again, we're day-to-day.
• 2:40:58
  Speaker 35: I think I really liked the way it looked the
• 2:41:00
  Speaker 35: other day versus the lefty, and we're facing another lefty today.
• 2:41:03
  Speaker 8: We'll see how it shakes out for tomorrow.
• 2:41:05
  Speaker 35: But, you know, I really liked the way, you know,
• 2:41:08
  Speaker 35: whoever's hitting second is going to get the most meaningful
• 2:41:10
  Speaker 35: of bats, and so why not put Jose in that spot?
• 2:41:12
  Speaker 18: Do you talk to Hosey before you make this kind
• 2:41:14
  Speaker 18: of a move?
• 2:41:15
  Speaker 8: Absolutely. You know, you always ask. I mean, you've seen it.
• 2:41:17
  Speaker 35: We've tried him in the two-hole a few stretches over
• 2:41:20
  Speaker 35: the last few years, and he's always kind of just
• 2:41:22
  Speaker 35: wanted to gravitate back towards the three-hole. And again, whatever
• 2:41:25
  Speaker 35: Hosey wants, you know, but we've been talking a lot
• 2:41:27
  Speaker 35: about it, and he actually expressed some interest in possibly,
• 2:41:29
  Speaker 35: you know, doing it.
• 2:41:31
  Speaker 8: And, you know, anytime he wants to step up in
• 2:41:33
  Speaker 8: its second, I'm all for it.
• 2:41:36
  Speaker 18: Voter, one other thing I wanted to ask you about,
• 2:41:38
  Speaker 18: and that's Cincinnati, tonight's opponent. in essence, the same record.
• 2:41:42
  Speaker 18: They've been struggling lately, but everybody in that National League
• 2:41:45
  Speaker 18: East is above.
• 2:41:46
  Speaker 10: 500.
• 2:41:46
  Speaker 2: What kind of a club are they?
• 2:41:49
  Speaker 8: They're pesky.
• 2:41:50
  Speaker 35: They can hit. They can run. They put a lot
• 2:41:52
  Speaker 35: of pressure on you on the bases. They've got good pitching.
• 2:41:55
  Speaker 35: They've got really big stuff coming out of the bullpen.
• 2:41:59
  Speaker 35: Struggle with throwing strikes at times, which they can get
• 2:42:01
  Speaker 35: themselves in trouble, so we have to be really patient
• 2:42:03
  Speaker 35: with their bullpen, but this is a really good team.
• 2:42:05
  Speaker 8: I mean, They play the game the right way. They're
• 2:42:08
  Speaker 8: good on defense. They run. They bunt. They cause havoc.
• 2:42:11
  Speaker 8: And we got our work cut out for us this weekend.
• 2:42:14
