  Speaker 1: Well, Heidi Ho, 306 on a gorgeous-looking Tuesday afternoon. It's
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: June 9th. Welcome to Tuesday afternoon, and it is a
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: little bit hot and humid out there today. 85 degrees,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: and so welcome, one and all. NewsRadio 570 WKBN with
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: you till Guardians pregame tonight at 6 o'clock. All right,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: they'll be taking on the Yankees tonight. All right, that'll
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: be at 6, pregame, 6.30, first pitch. News Radio 570.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: So keep that in mind. Well, things are heating up.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Trump vows response after claiming Iran shot down U.S. Apache
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: helicopter over the straits. And there was no one. They
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: didn't have any deaths involved in that. The people got
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: out of the Apache okay. That is the good news
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: about that. But Trump says... Iran is responsible for shooting
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: down this Apache helicopter, says the U.S. must respond. Don't
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: know what that means. We shall see. Somewhere out there
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: is Rich, the pharmacist.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Hello. Hey, Ron. How are you this evening?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I am well.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Or afternoon, I guess. I'm a little ahead of myself.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: There you go. Fire away, Richard.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: One of the things I was thinking about over the
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: weekend that I think we don't pay enough attention to
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: that's really hurting our society is is just the complete
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: and total breakdown of parenting, the family, and there's all
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: it's having on our country. I went to school in Toledo.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I went to the University of Toledo. That's where I
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: got my pharmacy degree. Toledo is a nice town, kind
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: of similar to Youngstown, a little bigger, obviously, but depressed.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: A lot of the old industries that were there left.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: The glass industry went downhill. I think the Jeep factory
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: up there is a fraction of what it used to be.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: You know, so very similar demographically and economically, Democrat working town.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: And you saw that kid at the old West End
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Festival down there, and they just arrested, I think they
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: said he was an 18-year-old for questioning today, involved in that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: He went and shot 12 people, I think, and two
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: of them ended up dying, from what I understand. You
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: look at that, you look at this kid, they just announced,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: when I was listening to Taylor and the Clay and Buck,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: that Carmelo Anthony, they're going to announce the verdict there
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: because that kid just thought, you know, when he was
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: told to leave, it was okay to stab somebody.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: And I just, how do we, can we fix it?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, how do you reverse the course that we're on?
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Because it's a major problem. I was talking to a teacher.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: School just, you know, school just got out for most
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: kids last week. Teacher, good school district. I think in
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: his class, I think he had somewhere around probably 80,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: 90 kids in the grade level that this guy teaches.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: And I think he had like 13 or 14 kids
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: that flunked the entire year, not just in nine weeks,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the entire year. But I'm pretty sure he told me
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: that almost all of them will get advanced because you
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: can't hold these kids back anymore unless the parents agree
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: to it. Most of the parents won't agree to it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Well, how do you advance somebody if they didn't learn
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the material? I mean, let's be realistic for a second.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: We start with there is a problem right there. Because
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: if you don't have it mastered, how can you go
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to the next level when you don't understand the level
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: below that? It just gets harder and worse. It reminds
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: me of like. You mentioned the University of Toledo. Like
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: when I was in college, it was, I don't know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: with you, modern university mathematics, where they said, you have
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: got to know this part of the formula to be
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: able to get to the answer to get to the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: rest of it. In other words, you have to memorize stuff.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: You follow what I'm saying? In other words, if you
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: don't know what's happening, if you can't pass ninth grade,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you think 10th is going to be easier or 11th
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: is going to be easier? They're building blocks to the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: next one.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: But they don't care. They just, the parents don't care.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: A lot of them are more worried about what, you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: what are people going to think if my child's held back?
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: You're going to think he's stupid and, you know, you shouldn't,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: you know. They're more worried about the social ramifications than
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: they are the long-term economic ramifications of that person not
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: having learned what they should have learned.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Well, I hate to use the term, but can't you say, well, yeah,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I guess your kid is stupid. They haven't. It sounds cold-blooded,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: but let me put it this way to you, Rich.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Just bear with me. They don't want them to think
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: their kid's stupid. Well, their kid is stupid. Have you
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: made any effort to tutor your child to see that
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: they do their homework to put the effort in to
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: make your kid successful? I just use this example. When
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: our kids were young and they got stuck on something,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I remember my wife saying that she took them, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it was in mass, she took them to Sylvan Learning Center.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I remember that. And she took them there, and they–
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: taught them really fast what they were stuck on. You
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: follow me? And that was the end of it. Then
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: there wasn't any further problems. But if she didn't address
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the step when you get into this advanced math that
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: they didn't understand then, then the next level, you wouldn't
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: understand it at all.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: So..
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: As a parent, you have to be involved in your
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: child's education. I mean, that's what I'm trying to say.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I don't care what your feelings are or if you're
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: worried about the image of it. What are you doing
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: to make your child, make it easier on your child
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and make him a success? Are you doing anything?
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I think in a lot of instances, no. And if
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: you talk to teachers, if you sit there and talk
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: to a lot of the teachers that have to deal
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: with kids today, the lack of parental involvement, discipline... um,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: you know, support of the teacher and what they're trying
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: to do is just alarming. And it's not a small
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: fraction of the parents out there anymore. It's a growing
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and increasingly larger fraction of the parents, probably 30, 40%
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: are just, they created children, but they don't seem to
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: have much interest in raising those children or making sure
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: that those children succeed, you know, get to adulthood and
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: are successful adults. And a lot of it's socioeconomic.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: I don't buy that.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: That bothers me, because just because you're poor doesn't mean
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: you're dumb. I don't know that it's socioeconomic.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: What I was saying is if you look at the
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: demographic areas where income is lower, I don't care whether
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: you're in the cities, the big cities, or whether you
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: go to Appalachian America, you find pretty much the same thing.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: So it's not really a race thing. There's a definite
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: socioeconomic factor involved. But it's just those parents, for whatever reason,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: many of them don't seem to be interested in putting
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the effort and time that's required into successfully raising children.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Well, haven't you just identified the problem? I mean, haven't
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: you just spoken to the problem? Isn't the problem the parents?
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: If you show me a kid that isn't doing their
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: best in school, I go back to say, what role
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: are the parents playing? Are they shutting the television off?
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Are they getting them help? Are they seeing that they
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: do their homework? Do they care about education? And if
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the answer is no, then that's why the kid has
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: a problem. I mean, and wouldn't you say the same
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: thing applies if you have a kid that doesn't know
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: right from wrong or how to behave? Isn't that the issue?
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: If your kid doesn't know how to behave, wouldn't you say, well,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: that parent isn't disciplining that child? And if you're not
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: doing that early on, can you imagine what they'll be
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: like as a teenager?
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: And I think that's a big issue. And I mean,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: there's going to be exceptions, obviously. You can have parents
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: that do care, but the kid has learning disabilities and
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: struggles like that.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about that, Bill. I'm just talking about regular.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's the majority of the problem here.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I just think for some reason in our country, people
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: have become so wrapped up in themselves that they create children.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: They just don't want to put the time and effort
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: into raising them. It's really sad. And if you talk
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: to teachers, I mean, everybody likes to blame teachers for
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: what's wrong in the school system. And almost every teacher
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I know, and there's obviously exceptions, every profession has their
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: people that they'd rather not have. But the vast majority,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I'd say 90%, 95% of the teachers out there just
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: want to go to work, do a good job, hopefully
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: help the kids, get them on their way, and get going.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: But when they turn to the parents, when they identify
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: issues and turn to the parents, they just, they increasingly,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: more and more parents don't want to support the teacher,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: don't want to take the responsibility. I know a superintendent who,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: when he was a principal, had a meeting with parents.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: He told me this story. And he said the kid
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: was academically really struggling and failing. So they were going
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: to talk to him about recommending private tutoring. And the
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: father came in, and he's talking to me about this
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: great stereo system he bought. You know, I just bought
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: this great stereo and all this, but, you know, it's
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: hundreds and hundreds of dollars. So they get down to
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: brass tacks and start talking about his son's issues and problems.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: And they said, you know, we really think you should
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: consider private tutoring, something like a Sylvan-type scenario that you used.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: And I said, well, I can't afford that. But he
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: could afford to go out and buy the couple hundred
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: dollar stereo system that he was just bragging about. And
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I think that's an increasingly big issue in our society.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: So many people are self-absorbed and think of themselves first
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: instead of making sacrifices.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I think we grew up in a different era where
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: most parents... It was not uncommon for a lot of
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: fathers to work two jobs to help the family out
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: and put groceries on the table and have a little
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: extra maybe to take a vacation, things like that. It's
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: hard to get people even to show up and do
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: a job. Because you can sit at home, you can
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: get the government to pay you and take care of
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: you and provide you with all the social safety hammock
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: that they've created. Instead of a safety net, you just
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: lay down and you can just go from there. And
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I just, increasingly, I see it, and I think, you know,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: if you look in the inner cities, there's definitely an
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: issue with the breakdown of the African-American family. Because increasingly,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: a lot of these kids that perpetrate this, you see
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: these gangs that are going around in these cities where
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: they're having these takeovers of areas and restaurants and stuff
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: like that. And in the cities, it's an issue, and
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: it's unfortunately overwhelmingly more African-American kids. I'm not saying white
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: kids don't do bad things either, but when you look,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: when your eyes don't lie, when you put on the news,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: that's the issue. And I think a lot of that
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: has to do with the fact that in the African-American community,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: you're down to, I think, 75% or 80% single-parent households.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: where there's no fathers involved. I read an article over
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: the weekend about that. I think the Hispanic family is
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: down to somewhere around 55%, and the white family is
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: down to 35%, where there is no father figure. And
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: you can say, well, kids can do fine without a father,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: and they can. We all know people that have succeeded
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: that way, and women that have raised kids without having
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: a husband present. And there's a lot of times where
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: maybe the husband was abusive and needed to go. That's fine.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: But increasingly, I think the breakdown of the family is
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: a major, major issue in this country, and I don't
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: see a way you can easily address that.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I don't either, because I don't know the government can
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: solve all the problems. I just don't think that it's
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the role of government in this. Unfortunately, they've got to
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: deal with the problem. You have to deal with the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: problem as far as the police have to deal with
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: it or the court system has to deal with it.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: But quite frankly, the government is getting too— we' ve wussified the
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: government and punishment, too. I mean, I think that's part
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: of the problem as well, is that we don't have
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: punishment as good as it probably should be. Too liberal
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: a punishment.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: That, and I mean, we had... My granddaughter's christening was yesterday,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: so we went to church and, you know, watched the
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: baptism and stuff. And I can't really criticize here because
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I'm a lapsed Catholic. My wife and I made a
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: decision due to a certain event that we witnessed at
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: church a couple years ago that we were just pretty
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: much done going to church for now. So, I mean,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I can't... I don't want to be the pot calling
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: the kettle black, but I'm looking around the church thinking,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: if you look at the demographics, I would say... 60, 70%
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: of the people were, you know, my age, late 50s,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: early 60s, or older. And you look around town, what
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: do they close? St. Matthias, St. Brendan's, I think, you know,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: you look at all these churches that have closed, there's
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: hardly any churches left anymore. You know, I'm on the
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Catholic side. I mean, I can't speak. Well, even in Boardman.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, they closed St. James Episcopal, which I grew
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: up in Boardman. I mean, that was a very influential church.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: A lot of A lot of the leaders in Boardman,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: a lot of the people that ran the civic organizations
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: and were presidents of Kiwanis and things like that, went
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: to that church. That's where a lot of the old
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Boardman money went. If you had told me they were
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: ever going to close it, I'd say, you know, you're crazy.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: But it's gone. And I just, as we've seen, you know,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: the institutions that have supported this country, the social institutions
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: that have been the bedrock of our national fabric for
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: 250 years now, are just disappearing, and it doesn't bode
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: well for our future. And it bothers me that I
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: don't think there's, you know, I'd like to hear what
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: other people have to say, because I just don't see
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: how we right that ship. And if we don't right
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: that ship, it's just, we're going to increasingly slide downhill.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I would totally agree with all of that. I would
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: absolutely agree with that, but I don't think government can
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: solve all these problems. You can stop incentivizing it. You
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: can stop by saying there isn't personal responsibility anymore because
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: we make it too easy for people to not suffer
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the ramifications of their decisions. So, I mean, and to
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: a certain extent, government kind of, I don't want to
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: say encourages it, but doesn't, we're doing away with personal
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: responsibility when it comes to your particular situation. So, And
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the more liberals that get elected and more Democrats, I
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: think the problem just gets worse. You can see it
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: right now. We've made it too easy for able-bodied, work-age
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: people to sit on their ass and do nothing. And
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: they can have a fairly decent existence. So what does
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: everyone do? What do the Democrats do? They bitch when
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the Republicans say, well, wait a minute. If you're able-bodied, healthy,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and of work age, you shouldn't be getting Medicaid sitting
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: at home because you don't want to go to work.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: You have to get up and go do something. You
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: have to get a job like everybody else. And what
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: did the Democrats say? Look at the Republicans. They want
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: to deny health care to our fellow citizens. No, they
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: think that you should grow up and be an adult
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and get a job and go on and get health
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: care like everybody else. That's the difference between Republicans and Democrats.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I'll leave you with that. Words of wisdom, Rich. How's
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: that sound?
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Take care, Ron. Enjoy your evening.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Well, wait a minute. Hang on for a second. I
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: got another question I want to ask you. Hang on.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I'll be right back.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: 570 WKBN.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: 325 on a Tuesday afternoon at 84 degrees. Here's what
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you, Rich, just outside of all
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: of that. Trump vows response after claiming Iran shot down U.S.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Apache helicopter over the straits. Now, there weren't any injuries.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, they were able to eject, as I understand it.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: So now what?
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Well, he's going to hit them. I mean, you can't
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: just let them do it and not respond, I guess.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: And I think it goes back to the bigger problem
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: that I told you last week, week before. The people
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: that are trying to negotiate a peace over there, there's
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: people that are radicals but also want to run a
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: government and not be, you know, four months from now,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: a mob takes over and they're hanging from a light
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: pole in the street. Those people are trying to make
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: a rational peace. But they don't control the guns. They
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: don't have their fingers on the triggers. Whoever shot that
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: down was probably one of the radical nutjobs in the
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Iranian Revolutionary Guard, the IRGC, and probably said, oh, Americans
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: shoot them down. And it's got to drive you. If
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: you're the people that are trying to make a peace
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: and trying to run a government, I don't know if
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: you saw, there's been a lot of unrest over there.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: A lot of the students are starting to go back
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: on the streets, protest. They're not happy. The vast majority
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: of people over there, I think, would like this to
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: end and try and get back to finding a way
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: to feed their family. Because right now, it's increasingly difficult
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: over there. If you get into the weeds and start
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: reading about what's going on over there, people can't even
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: buy basic supplies. You can't even buy meat. You're lucky
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: if you, you know, you might be able to eat
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: one meal a day because I think they survive on $ 200,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: $ 250 a month if they're lucky. I mean, imagine that.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: It's insane. But you've got one group that controls the
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: trigger finger and the other group that's trying to negotiate
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: with Trump. So my gut feeling is he knows that,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: and he's probably going to hit back, but it's going
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: to be kind of like a love tap that he does,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: you know, take out some radar sites or something like that.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think you're going to see him carpet bomb
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Tehran or anything like that. But it's this thing I
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: don't see. Like I've told you, it's a quagmire. It's quicksand.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: You're stuck in it. And it's going to be very
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: difficult to extricate yourself from it right now. I just
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: don't see an easy way. I think long-term, like I've said, long-term,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: if you get a defanged Iran, it's going to be
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: much better for the world in five and ten years.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: But in the short term, next year to two, we're
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: stuck there. And, you know, if you break it, you
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: bought it, and we broke it. So now we're stuck
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: with the consequences.
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it, Rich. Thank you. NewsRadio 570. And Ron Furb,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: you're on the air.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Good afternoon.
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: How are you doing this afternoon?
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I'm well. Go ahead, please.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: That's great. Hey, he's sure making Obama look good. Obama
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: was buying their stuff off, their radiation stuff off of them,
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: using their own money. And when this knucklehead gets done,
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: we're going to give that money to him, and we're
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: going to have to pay him more. And what he
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: was saying, the last caller was saying, I believe that's
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: what's going on over there also. And there's no real
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: central government holding control on everything. And that's not good.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: That's not good at all. And then another thing, too,
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: we're talking about electricity. So he shuts down the windmills.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: He bought out the one windmill thing so they wouldn't
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: shut it down. And this particular windmill set up on
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: the northeast was supposed to generate enough electricity for 100,000 homes.
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: And he's got a thing about windmills because he wanted
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: to put that golf course where it's Scotland.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Stand by for me. Just stand by. Back with him
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: and more of your calls. With you until 6 tonight,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Ron Furb from the Kingdom of Mahoning on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: This report is sponsored by rockauto.com.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: KBN.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: We're back at it, 335 in the afternoon. We're sitting
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: with 85 degrees on a Tuesday, June 9th. All right,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: go ahead. You're on air.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: The real reason I wanted to call is yesterday. I
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: don't listen to you every single day, but I only
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: hold on the phone here for an hour, and then
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: if you don't get to me by then, I say goodnight.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: But anyhow, yesterday we had the boss lady call up
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: and tell us how many people they got to sign. Yes.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: Thank God, because I read on one site where that
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: whole thing didn't have enough signatures.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, they don't have enough. They have... They're
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: not at the deadline yet. They are, let's see, I'm
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: going to give you round figures.
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, don't stop right there. That was
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: the point. I believe I read that they don't have
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: enough signatures, and after thinking about what I had read
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: a week ago at dawn on me, it said that
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: what it come down to is they still had time
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: to do it.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: Correct.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: For some reason, I blanked that out of my head.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: that part after she got talking about it. But I
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: wanted to say thank you because I signed that myself.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, they want to get beyond the minimum.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: They want to get 600,000 signatures so that they're well
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: over the amount that they need in case you get
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: anyone that isn't registered or whatever the case might be
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: so that you don't have to start all over again.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: They're not that far off the mark, actually. But their
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: goal is to get at least a couple hundred thousand
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: more signatures, which they seem to think they'll be able
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: to do over the next year. And hopefully they are
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: able to do it.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: One way the people take back their government, huh?
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Yes. Yes.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: That's what we've got to do in Washington, D.C. We've
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: got to take back the government and also take back
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: the Supreme Court for the people.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Listen, that's how you do it. If people feel that
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: they're not being listened to, and I don't think they
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: are anymore, that they have to say, wait a minute,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: you're forgetting. Who's in charge here? We the people are.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: You guys think that you have all the power and
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: you tell us the way it's going to be. And
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: they're forgotten. Like I say, in Mahoning County and Trumbull County,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: these commissioners are not concerned about the hurt that they
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: put on people that are paying these high property taxes
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: because they've been given the ability to give them a
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: slight reprieve, give them a little bit of their money back,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: and they choose not to do so because, in their opinion,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: everything else is more important now. than the person that's
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: struggling to pay this excessive reevaluation that took place. So
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: it tells you where their priorities are. Their priorities aren't
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: on the productive citizens at all. It's just like when
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: they say, okay, this is a done deal. We're going
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: to spend– $ 60 million. And it's these projects always go
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: over what they start with because we have determined we
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: three commissioners have determined that we're going to spend this money,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: which isn't our money. It's a taxpayer's money. And we
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: didn't really get any input from any of you guys,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: but you'll get stuck with the bill and we're going
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: to rip down Eastern gateway and we're going to build
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: a new, you know, county office building in downtown Youngstown.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: And we made the decision because we think it's our
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: money and, And so we're in charge and the taxpayers
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have any say so. Well, it's the whole wrong
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: attitude from the very beginning on that issue and on
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: property taxes.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm not going to bring up any names, okay?
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: But what I want to say here is I have
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: talked to one of them commissioners. Got a casual conversation
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: with him. I said, what's the problem? Why can't you
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: cut our taxes? And he kind of... lingerly, and I said,
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: come on, just tell me the truth, and we'll let
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: that go. I'm not here to discuss, you know. I'm
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: here to discuss it. He says, then we won't have
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: the money to do the things we'd like to do
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: in the future. And I'm going, why? Because he said
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: we won't be getting any money from the state. To
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: a certain extent.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: You have to remember this. I just want to reiterate.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: The state's money is your money, too. It isn't money
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: from the state or money from the Fed.
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: It's all your money. It's your money taken from you.
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: Taxes taken from you.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: So where do we got to hit them and hit
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: them hard? We got to hit them hard down in Columbus.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, just slam the hell out of these people.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: And I'm sorry, I know you won't vote for a Democrat.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: No.
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: But that's what it's going to take to move them
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: out of there. And then next time they come up
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: to be voted, well, you can vote a Republican back
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: in there. Or maybe that Democrat might surprise you and
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: actually do good.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't think so, because the Democrats, it's the
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Republicans that got the property tax relief that you will
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: be experiencing, Dave Thomas in particular. But he got the
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Republicans to vote in support of it. So the next reevaluation,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: which is happening as we speak, you can't get a
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: 20 or 30 percent increase. You'll still get an increase,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: but he made it so the increase is the same
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: as the rate of inflation, not a 20 or 30 percent.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: That is a huge victory. And that happened because of
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Republican Dave Thomas and Republicans voting for it. The Democrats,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: they don't seem like they're for any of this stuff.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: And that's of concern to me. Amy Acton doesn't seem
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: like she's for. Now, make no mistake about it. I
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: criticize DeWine and the Republicans for stuff that they've done
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: as well. I'm not a fan of Mike DeWine, but
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean I'll throw the baby out with the bathwater.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I am a fan of Dave Thomas. I'm a fan
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: of what the Republicans did so far in easing property
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: tax burdens. So if we fall short of getting the signatures...
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Or if we get the signatures and put it on
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: the ballot and it fails, major accomplishments have still taken place.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: In our benefit.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: And I was listening to you when that other, the
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: guy you were talking about there.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: I listened to that and I said, by God, that
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: makes a whole lot of sense. Based the taxes on the,
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: as the inflation goes up or down.
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Not on a 20 or 30% up because that's what
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: we reevaluated your house. I mean, it's, this is just crazy.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, it is when I sit here and say,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and people get tired of me saying it, but we're
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: pricing people out of their homes. We're pricing certainly the
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: elderly out of their homes and we're making it difficult
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: for young people to buy a home because the payment
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: is so hyped up because of the amount of property
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: taxes that are included in the payments. So, Is that
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: the direction you want to go? Like there's no end
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: in sight when it comes to property taxes? We can't
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: go on.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: You are absolutely right. You got a couple rooms free
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: at your place?
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: You're always welcome. Don't you worry.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: I may not want to stay there because the way
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: this is going on, I may have to come and
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: live with you.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Now, you're going to have to do a few chores,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: you understand. But other than that..
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: I can wash dishes and run a vacuum cleaner.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: All right, I'll see you first thing Monday. All right.
• 27:27
  Speaker 9: See you later.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: All right, buddy.
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: Take care.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I mean, that's my point on the commissioners.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: They sit there and they think it's their money. It's
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: your money. And this idea that we're going to put
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the county in debt again with selling these bonds because
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: they determined... that we should rip down Eastern Gateway, and
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: they determined we should build a new center in Youngstown,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: all decisions they made in the Port Authority without really
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: any input from the community that gets stuck with the bill.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: It's almost an arrogance. We're the commissioners. You elected us.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: We've decided this is what we're going to do, and
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: you're on the hook for the money. And even if
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: you vote me out of office, you're still on the
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: hook for the money. This is craziness. They forget where
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: the money's coming from or where the debt goes. When
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: I hear all of this, well, we can't give the
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: property tax owner a break even though we have the
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: power to do that because what about this person? What
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: about that person? What about this person? Their focus is
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: on all the people that are on the dole, not
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: on the person who's suffering the pain from paying all
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: of this stuff. Their focus isn't on a productive person
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: that's dealing with the pain of paying high property taxes
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: and giving them just a little bit of relief. It's
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: on everybody else. It's the wrong focus. The focus should
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: always be on the person you're taking the money from.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: You're on the air.
• 29:14
  Speaker 10: Okay, Ron, can you come right back to me?
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, I'll put you on hold.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: You're on the air.
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: Ron?
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 29:23
  Speaker 11: Oh, I was listening to Rick, and he just brought
• 29:28
  Speaker 11: me to a very good topic.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: What is that?
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: Well, you know, the fact that he's talking about these
• 29:35
  Speaker 11: kids getting held back, and that was DeWine helped. with
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: that in 2023. That was that 8B33, which created the
• 29:44
  Speaker 11: ability for them to just move these kids and push
• 29:47
  Speaker 11: them forward when they're not ready. And I don't think
• 29:50
  Speaker 11: people quite understand the implications.
• 29:53
  Speaker 10: That that has down the road.
• 29:55
  Speaker 11: I'd rather re-educate, you know, educate a child twice in
• 30:01
  Speaker 11: second grade than have to feed them when they hit
• 30:05
  Speaker 11: society and can't read or write. And I think it
• 30:09
  Speaker 11: goes back to the larger problem of Well, and so
• 30:13
  Speaker 11: then they created a grant within that HB 33. There
• 30:16
  Speaker 11: was all sorts of nonsense in that house bill, but
• 30:20
  Speaker 11: one of them came out with Reed, Ohio. So what
• 30:23
  Speaker 11: they do here is they create these problems. That was
• 30:26
  Speaker 11: a problem they could create so that they could create
• 30:30
  Speaker 11: a nonprofit. And then that's the family and friends and
• 30:33
  Speaker 11: another nonprofit launches and another nonprofit launches after that. This
• 30:38
  Speaker 11: is what they do, and they're good at this. And
• 30:40
  Speaker 11: I want our state reps to think bigger. I've seen
• 30:43
  Speaker 11: many posts about all this grant money that came back
• 30:47
  Speaker 11: to our county or Trumbull County, and that's great, right?
• 30:51
  Speaker 11: Because I would rather, if you're going to blow our money,
• 30:56
  Speaker 11: if the state's going to blow our money and create
• 30:58
  Speaker 11: a grant, obviously it's better if it comes back to
• 31:00
  Speaker 11: your community, but it shouldn't exist in the first place.
• 31:05
  Speaker 11: I want these reps... to start thinking bigger. Instead of
• 31:09
  Speaker 11: running around saying, look at me, I brought money back
• 31:12
  Speaker 11: to the community. They need to stop funding them in
• 31:16
  Speaker 11: the state budget. The one grant I saw today was
• 31:20
  Speaker 11: soccer fields, Belmont Park Cemetery, Trumbull Fairgrounds, Geneva Recreation Center.
• 31:27
  Speaker 11: This is what our tax dollars are, and then they
• 31:30
  Speaker 11: want to say they can't abolish property taxes because they
• 31:33
  Speaker 11: can't pay for schools, which they are legally required. Our
• 31:36
  Speaker 11: Constitution says that they should be. They can't fund schools,
• 31:41
  Speaker 11: but they can give soccer fields, do a Geneva Recreation Center.
• 31:46
  Speaker 11: We're supposed to clap like seals and pretend like it's
• 31:49
  Speaker 11: all good. You don't get an A for bringing back
• 31:53
  Speaker 11: a grant that shouldn't even exist. These guys need to
• 31:57
  Speaker 11: step up and shut down the funding. When these things
• 32:00
  Speaker 11: even come up, we should not be funding them, especially
• 32:04
  Speaker 11: Republican conservatives.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Aren't you surprised how much of your state tax dollars
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: are literally pissed away?
• 32:12
  Speaker 11: This is exactly what's happening. It's disgusting. And then the
• 32:16
  Speaker 11: nonprofits that are spewed from here, and they're like the
• 32:19
  Speaker 11: spawn of Satan, that one nonprofit then hires another nonprofit
• 32:25
  Speaker 11: to sub out the work, and that nonprofit, and by
• 32:27
  Speaker 11: the time it's done, it's dwindled down to nothingness. You
• 32:29
  Speaker 11: start with $ 100 million, you're down to 40, because everybody
• 32:33
  Speaker 11: takes a cut. And why do people not understand this?
• 32:36
  Speaker 11: is really frustrating. I think I say it clearly. I
• 32:39
  Speaker 11: think I'm communicating it simple enough for everybody to understand.
• 32:44
  Speaker 11: Grant money is our money. All these grants, first of all,
• 32:48
  Speaker 11: they create the problem. You then have to provide a
• 32:51
  Speaker 11: solution and use grant money. It's all government expansion money.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: I don't know how any.
• 32:58
  Speaker 11: Other way to say it. It's so frustrating to me.
• 33:00
  Speaker 11: And we fall for it. Lauren McNally on the air yesterday.
• 33:03
  Speaker 11: You know what she wants to do? She wants to
• 33:05
  Speaker 11: go after grant money. Okay, Lauren, congratulations. Although, again, it's
• 33:09
  Speaker 11: better that you bring it back to our community versus
• 33:11
  Speaker 11: it going to another. But it shouldn't exist in the
• 33:13
  Speaker 11: first place. But what really made me mad, she wants
• 33:16
  Speaker 11: to hire a consultant. So now you want to waste
• 33:18
  Speaker 11: our money to find the money.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: I can't take it, Ron.
• 33:22
  Speaker 10: I can't take it.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Now she was talking about... the steam plants and saying, okay,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: we want to get some type of a grant, right.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: To get this thing up and running and fixed.
• 33:33
  Speaker 10: I don't even know what the heck you're talking about.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: And I'm thinking to myself, okay, so now this is the,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: up to the taxpayers now to fix this. It's a
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: massive problem down there. I mean, you have all these
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: buildings that depend on that for their heating. And I mean,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: it's just, it's an absolute nightmare down there on, on
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: what's going on.
• 33:57
  Speaker 11: We need to hear the other, the other side of
• 33:59
  Speaker 11: the story on that one, as it regards to that,
• 34:03
  Speaker 11: to that steam plant. And, you know, they took it over, right.
• 34:07
  Speaker 11: It went to receivership and they, these, this other entity
• 34:10
  Speaker 11: took it over and they've, Probably not been managing it
• 34:14
  Speaker 11: well because they're not experts at that technology. So, I mean,
• 34:17
  Speaker 11: there's two sides to that story. But it's like to
• 34:20
  Speaker 11: hire consultants to find us grants is insane when I
• 34:24
  Speaker 11: did that in 12 seconds with a tax EPT inquiry.
• 34:29
  Speaker 11: Tell me all the grants that a county is eligible
• 34:32
  Speaker 11: for right now. It'll list them in 12 seconds. You
• 34:35
  Speaker 11: don't hire a consultant. I mean, I guess the stupidity, right?
• 34:38
  Speaker 11: They want to force the AI on everybody, but they
• 34:40
  Speaker 11: don't even use it to cut... all the way. But
• 34:43
  Speaker 11: I really want state reps to think bigger. I want
• 34:46
  Speaker 11: them to think bigger. Stop the funding before it even
• 34:49
  Speaker 11: gets there. I don't want you to go out and
• 34:50
  Speaker 11: grab it. I want you to shut it down. I
• 34:52
  Speaker 11: don't want to pay for a soccer field. I don't
• 34:54
  Speaker 11: want to make the Belmont Park Cemetery look better. That's
• 34:58
  Speaker 11: not on me. Whoever, that company, Belmont Park, do it
• 35:01
  Speaker 11: your damn self. You've been paid for it. Geneva Recreation Center,
• 35:05
  Speaker 11: I love a good swing set myself.
• 35:07
  Speaker 10: Guess what?
• 35:07
  Speaker 11: I What did they do 50 years ago, Ron? What
• 35:10
  Speaker 11: did people do 50 years ago that we have to provide?
• 35:13
  Speaker 11: Trouble at fairgrounds. That's not my problem.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 35:18
  Speaker 11: It's infuriating. And it's all, when Rich was talking about
• 35:22
  Speaker 11: the education system, that's exactly right. Because you're going to
• 35:25
  Speaker 11: force these kids through, and then I've got to feed
• 35:27
  Speaker 11: them later.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 35:29
  Speaker 11: I've got to feed them later because they can't read
• 35:30
  Speaker 11: or write.
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: And it doesn't get easier. One builds on the other.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: So what's the social promotion? We don't want to scar you.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: We don't want to hurt you. This is a craziness.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: It's not a punishment.
• 35:44
  Speaker 11: It's not a punishment.
• 35:45
  Speaker 10: It's a reward.
• 35:46
  Speaker 11: We're going to invest in you. We're going to invest
• 35:49
  Speaker 11: in you because we believe in you. You need a
• 35:50
  Speaker 11: little bit of help because we know you could make
• 35:52
  Speaker 11: it out there on your own one day. So let's
• 35:54
  Speaker 11: invest in you today. I'm not going to force you
• 35:56
  Speaker 11: through until I've got to feed you for the next
• 35:58
  Speaker 11: 50 years.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Yep, you didn't meet the standard to move on to
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: the next grade. So deal with it. I'm with you 100%,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: boss lady. The Jewish Center.
• 36:06
  Speaker 11: The Jewish Center. We have to give money to the
• 36:08
  Speaker 11: Jewish Center.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: What's that about?
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: Another grant.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Stand by. I'll be back with the boss lady.
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: Towns News, Weather, and Talk Station, 570 WKBN.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: And your fearless leader, Ron Verb from the Kingdom of Mahoning, 356.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I'm in agreement. Oh, wait a second. I've got to
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: find a boss lady.
• 36:26
  Speaker 11: I'm here.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Okay. I'm here. I'm in agreement with you. Listen, I
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: can't fault anybody for going after the grants because they
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: are there right now.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Agreed.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't fault whether it's Lorne McNally saying it.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I'm going to try to get a grant to help
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: out the steam plant because it affects so many people
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: as far as the heating for the winter downtown. Something
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: needs to get done. The grant's there. I'd rather we
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: get it and we take advantage of it or any
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: of these other grants. So I don't fault anybody for
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: doing that. But if you're saying, should these grants exist
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: in the first place for all this ridiculous spending? of
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: our tax dollars.
• 37:04
  Speaker 12: They could not.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Exactly. I do agree with you there because I read
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: about a lot of these grants for this and that
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: and I'm reading thinking, well, this is why your taxes
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: are so high because you're paying.
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: For this nonsense.
• 37:15
  Speaker 11: This is why our income tax and sales tax and
• 37:17
  Speaker 11: everything else is so high and they're taking our money
• 37:20
  Speaker 11: and they're choosing where they would like to direct the funds.
• 37:24
  Speaker 11: So they're creating the grant, the blah, blah, blah grant
• 37:27
  Speaker 11: for swing sets and playgrounds.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 37:30
  Speaker 11: It feels like It's so set up to me. It
• 37:35
  Speaker 11: feels like they want the money to go there for
• 37:37
  Speaker 11: a reason. And I don't know whether that's kickbacks.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Who knows?
• 37:41
  Speaker 11: I know they happen.
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: Whatever.
• 37:44
  Speaker 11: Whether it's the family and friends, nonprofit, it is enraging. No,
• 37:49
  Speaker 11: we want our money back. We want our money back.
• 37:51
  Speaker 10: How about I'll just buy.
• 37:52
  Speaker 11: My own swing set?
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: How about I stop taking my money? I hate it
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: when people say, well, when I was a kid, when
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: we were a kid, if we wanted to play on
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: the monkey bars to the swing set, we would go
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: up to the school. I mean, the school, the elementary
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: school had the playground. We didn't have it in our backyard.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: We didn't expect the town to put a park together
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: with all this in. We went to the school because
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: that's where this stuff was. Not a big deal.
• 38:16
  Speaker 11: It's not a big deal, but it's the government expansion,
• 38:20
  Speaker 11: and they're creating the reason. They are creating some of
• 38:24
  Speaker 11: this legislation. It's creating the reason that they must expand.
• 38:28
  Speaker 11: It's intentional. It's like thought out. It's like planned. I
• 38:32
  Speaker 11: don't know how else to say it.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I know how to say it.
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: The problem is.
• 38:35
  Speaker 11: We need legislators who are going to shut this down
• 38:38
  Speaker 11: before it ever even gets there.
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: We need..
• 38:42
  Speaker 11: Lower taxes, and they constantly say they can't do this
• 38:46
  Speaker 11: or they can't do that. You absolutely can. They just
• 38:48
  Speaker 11: gave another $ 6 million for reading programs just in 2026.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: From ABC News, I'm Wayne Kabat. The U.S. is weighing
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: a response after determining that an Iranian drone downed a U.S.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: Army Apache helicopter this morning with two crew aboard on
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: patrol off Oman near the Strait of Hormuz. The crew
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: was rescued, but President Trump says that the U.S. must
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: out of necessity respond. Iran's top diplomat says the best
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: way for foreign forces near the strait to reduce their
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: risk is for them to leave. ABC's Louis Martinez on
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: what took down the Apache chopper.
• 39:31
  Speaker 13: Maybe potentially what was happening here is that there was
• 39:33
  Speaker 13: a nighttime collision. Because if this is one of the
• 39:36
  Speaker 13: types of drones that is used in attacking commercial ships,
• 39:41
  Speaker 13: that is not a drone that fires weapons, but a
• 39:43
  Speaker 13: drone that is an impact drone, a one-way attack drone.
• 39:46
  Speaker 13: So potentially what we're talking about here is some kind
• 39:48
  Speaker 13: of a collision. And this gets to the whole intent.
• 39:50
  Speaker 13: Was Iran strategic? Were they intentionally targeting this helicopter? Or
• 39:55
  Speaker 13: was it just a situation of a bad location at
• 39:58
  Speaker 13: the wrong time?
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: The verdict is now in for a young man who
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: claims he acted in self-defense when he fatally stabbed 17-year-old
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: Austin Metcalf during a... High school track meet in Texas.
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: ABC News legal contributor Brian Buckmeyer on the conviction just
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: now of Carmelo Anthony.
• 40:14
  Speaker 14: So this is a verdict that came for under three hours.
• 40:16
  Speaker 14: What that tells me in a case that self-defense is
• 40:19
  Speaker 14: made the primary defense, if not the only defense by
• 40:23
  Speaker 14: the defense counsel here, is that the jury adamantly threw
• 40:26
  Speaker 14: that out. They said that there was no issue here
• 40:29
  Speaker 14: as to whether or not Carmel Anthony subjectively, meaning his
• 40:33
  Speaker 14: own perception, or objectively, those in the 12 in the
• 40:36
  Speaker 14: jury who made a decision, that he believed his life
• 40:38
  Speaker 14: was in danger, that he needed to use deadly force.
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: He faces up to life in prison. Immigration update. The
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: House clears a procedural hurdle for a $ 70 billion immigration
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: bill after a brief revolt from hardliners. Speaker Mike Johnson
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: didn't have a lot of wiggle room with Republican Tom
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: Kane Jr. of New Jersey still out with a health issue.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: You're listening to ABC News. Hot summer.
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: This report is sponsored by Taking a Walk podcast.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Back to it. News Radio 570 WQN. Ron Ferb, you're
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: on the air.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: Hello?
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 41:10
  Speaker 10: Hi.
• 41:11
  Speaker 15: I was just calling in regards to your statement that
• 41:13
  Speaker 15: you're thrilled with or happy with the effort that was
• 41:17
  Speaker 15: done by the Republican Party with repealing or getting only
• 41:21
  Speaker 15: a 3% or the gross... property tax being only held
• 41:29
  Speaker 15: to the rate of inflation?
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, as opposed to, just to update our listeners, Dave Thomas,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: one of the changes that he was able to successfully
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: make was to get these re-evaluations away from the 20
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: or 30 percent increase that they would have by increasing
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: your property taxes as a result of that. He's done
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: a number of things, and one of those things was
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: getting it off of those huge numbers and tying it
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: to like the social security rates of inflation in addition
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: to some changes with the 20 mil floor. There were
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: other things he did in addition to that to the
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: benefit of the taxpayer. As he said, just to update
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: our listeners, that were accomplished as a result of fear,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: out of fear of this constitutional amendment getting enough signatures
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: and potentially getting passed. And if it doesn't happen, at
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: least we have had some changes that benefit the property owner.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 42:26
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I don't disagree with that. However, I think if
• 42:29
  Speaker 15: our government's really going to be serious about spending the
• 42:31
  Speaker 15: money or looking into actually waste and fraud that's going
• 42:35
  Speaker 15: into it, I think a better suggestion would be to
• 42:38
  Speaker 15: have a moratorium on any type of increase until an
• 42:41
  Speaker 15: audit is done to see how we could better spend
• 42:43
  Speaker 15: the money, make sure the money's going where it needs
• 42:45
  Speaker 15: to be. Okay, and moratorium is just for a short
• 42:49
  Speaker 15: period of time. I mean, a small increase is still,
• 42:53
  Speaker 15: in my opinion, is still an increase. I mean, if
• 42:56
  Speaker 15: you had a 20% increase in property tax that was collected, okay, then, oh,
• 43:00
  Speaker 15: we're just supposed to be happy with a, okay, now
• 43:03
  Speaker 15: next year it's only supposed to be 3%. it's still
• 43:06
  Speaker 15: an average of 21.3% for two years.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: It's still more.
• 43:10
  Speaker 15: Why am I giving people more money just to perpetuate
• 43:14
  Speaker 15: the problem? No one's looking at a solution. They're just
• 43:17
  Speaker 15: looking at a reduction in my expense. Why am I
• 43:19
  Speaker 15: giving more money? to something that's broken. That's what I
• 43:24
  Speaker 15: have an issue with. I said, if we're serious about this,
• 43:26
  Speaker 15: put a moratorium on it. Get a separate independent audit
• 43:31
  Speaker 15: to look into this issue and see what they can
• 43:33
  Speaker 15: do to fix it. I mean, we're not doing anything different.
• 43:36
  Speaker 15: We're just simply saying we'll take less of an increase.
• 43:40
  Speaker 15: I mean, I just don't think that's fair. That's just
• 43:42
  Speaker 15: my opinion.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: That's my two cents. Let me just tell you this.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: You make an excellent point. I don't disagree with the
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: point that you're making here, so don't misunderstand me. I
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: agree with the point that you're making.
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: But..
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Here's the problem. You see all the fraud that's going
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: on in Ohio. We're familiar with the fraud that was
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: taking place in Minnesota with Tampon Tim and the Somalians.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: And you can see all of it that's taking place
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: in Ohio as far as ripping off Medicaid. And you
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: see what a failure DeWine is in addressing that. You
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: can see what I believe is a failure from the
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: attorney general, a failure from the auditor and DeWine to
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: catch it before it happened. We're finding out about all
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: of this because of Nick Shirley in Minnesota. If it
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: wasn't for this young man and that old guy that
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: helped him who exposed all of the Somalians stealing all
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: this money, millions and billions of dollars in Minnesota, and then,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: of course, the focus is on California and Ohio, Ohio's
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: got the second biggest Somalian population that was brought here.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: And as a result, the same damn thing was going
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: on here. Well, they were getting away with it here.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: And when you're saying, where's the accountability?
• 45:00
  Speaker 6: I'm with you.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: How much? But that's half of our state budget goes
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: to Medicaid. Half of it. And look at the fraud.
• 45:12
  Speaker 10: Right, and there's zero..
• 45:13
  Speaker 15: I work in the private sector. There's accountability. Who's losing
• 45:18
  Speaker 15: their job? If you want to send someone to jail,
• 45:21
  Speaker 15: that's great, but where is the accountability? Where is anything
• 45:24
  Speaker 15: that comes out of this?
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: Zero.
• 45:27
  Speaker 15: No one's being prosecuted. They all talk about it, and
• 45:31
  Speaker 15: then they wait six or seven months.
• 45:33
  Speaker 10: It's not.
• 45:35
  Speaker 15: A hot topic. It just goes away. It goes under
• 45:38
  Speaker 15: the rug, and everyone goes about their merry life, and
• 45:41
  Speaker 15: we're happy with it, then, hey, well, we're happy with
• 45:44
  Speaker 15: a 3% increase instead of looking at what's going on.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Dare you as a guy in a private sector to say, well,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, where was the person to actually go
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: out to make sure that that leering center existed or
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: that transportation center or that hospice center existed? We were
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: sending all this money out to these hospice centers, but
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: they were just scams. Why wasn't there somebody going out
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: and actually physically taking a look at what's going on?
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Why isn't there somebody physically going out to see, hey,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: is there somebody in this person's home that's a relative
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: taking care of someone? Where's the verification there? And the
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: checks and balances of that money going out that should
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: be taking place, like in the private sector, in the
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: government sector. So who's being held accountable in government for
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: dropping the ball? Because you'll never get this money back. See,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: I totally agree with this guy. You'll never get it back.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: And I also agree with what you're saying. Hey, an
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: increase is still an increase. It's less of an increase.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: And I give Dave credit for that. But it's still
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: an increase. And you're saying how much more of an
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: increase can we continue to take here? And can we
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: afford to take? And you're talking as a private working citizen.
• 46:57
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 46:59
  Speaker 15: I mean, you're asking us to tighten and adjust our belts.
• 47:01
  Speaker 15: The only thing I'm asking is, what is the state
• 47:03
  Speaker 15: doing to tighten and adjust their belt? They just can't
• 47:05
  Speaker 15: keep coming and coming and coming. I mean, no one's
• 47:07
  Speaker 15: looking at any type of possibilities. Everybody wants to protect
• 47:11
  Speaker 15: their little zone and their little kingdoms and make sure
• 47:13
  Speaker 15: everything's okay.
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: I get that.
• 47:15
  Speaker 15: Nobody wants to redistrict. You know, like an example is
• 47:19
  Speaker 15: redistrict all these school districts. How many school districts do
• 47:21
  Speaker 15: you need? How many people are you paying in these
• 47:24
  Speaker 15: school districts that have superintendents? Do you need all this overlap?
• 47:27
  Speaker 15: When you have, you know, for example, look how many
• 47:31
  Speaker 15: school districts that we have that are just in this school,
• 47:33
  Speaker 15: that are just in the area, Boardman, Canfield, Poland. They
• 47:36
  Speaker 15: all have their own separate administrations. I understand no one
• 47:39
  Speaker 15: wants to vote themselves out of a job, but the
• 47:41
  Speaker 15: reality is you're voting me out of a house. I mean,
• 47:45
  Speaker 15: that's pretty much how it's going because we just want
• 47:47
  Speaker 15: to continue to take our money and not change anything,
• 47:50
  Speaker 15: just keep feeding it. This is the problem. No one's auditing.
• 47:54
  Speaker 15: No one's stopping and saying, hey, where's an independent council
• 47:58
  Speaker 15: that's auditing this stuff? I'm not asking for another layer.
• 48:02
  Speaker 15: I'm looking, you know, of government to go in there
• 48:03
  Speaker 15: and do that. But something has to happen. I mean,
• 48:06
  Speaker 15: someone's got to come up with more ideas other than
• 48:08
  Speaker 15: just saying, okay, we'll just do less of an increase
• 48:12
  Speaker 15: for now.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: I'm with you 100%. You think like a private sector guy,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: and that's what the problem is. They don't think like that.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: And you're making a great point. What about me is
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: what you're saying. You're concerned about everything else, and you're
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: not doing your job, but you're pricing people out of
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: their home, whether they're the elderly or the working people
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: or young people from being able to buy a house.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: And it's like everybody talks about it, but what are
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: you doing about it?
• 48:38
  Speaker 15: That's right. It's a hot topic and it'll be great.
• 48:42
  Speaker 15: It'll look great on a tagline on my election once
• 48:44
  Speaker 15: I get in. We'll get to that. We'll put that
• 48:49
  Speaker 15: at the back burner. It even goes on a national level.
• 48:52
  Speaker 15: No one's talking about the kitchen table issues anymore. No
• 48:56
  Speaker 15: one's talking about health care. No one's talking about all
• 48:58
  Speaker 15: this other stuff. We're all distracted by everything.
• 49:00
  Speaker 10: Else that's going on out there, except.
• 49:02
  Speaker 15: For what really matters to the American people. It's almost
• 49:05
  Speaker 15: like this country has developed its own class, which is
• 49:07
  Speaker 15: the government class, instead of people that are supposed to
• 49:12
  Speaker 15: be elected to represent me.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Boy, I tell you, you're spot on, man. You are
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: just bravo to you.
• 49:19
  Speaker 6: Excellent.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: Thank you for your call.
• 49:22
  Speaker 15: Well, thank you. Thanks for taking it.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: All right. I mean, that guy is spot on. He
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: is just absolutely spot on. You're on the air.
• 49:30
  Speaker 10: Hello? Yes.
• 49:32
  Speaker 16: Yeah, so the comment on you about... the wine and
• 49:38
  Speaker 16: all this fraud and everything. The one name that I
• 49:40
  Speaker 16: have not heard come up yet is Jim Trestle. Am
• 49:44
  Speaker 16: I supposed to assume that Trestle knows.
• 49:46
  Speaker 10: Nothing about this?
• 49:46
  Speaker 16: Like he seems like he's always this pretty boy. Nothing
• 49:49
  Speaker 16: ever happens, but he's down there too. Nobody's ever called
• 49:52
  Speaker 16: him out as far as like, did he know anything?
• 49:54
  Speaker 16: You know, like he didn't, it just seemed like he
• 49:57
  Speaker 16: didn't comment on nothing.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: He's a Lieutenant governor. And I think you kind of
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: view that as, um, Not really having much to do
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: with anything, I guess, is what I want to say.
• 50:10
  Speaker 16: Okay, so then if he doesn't really have anything to do,
• 50:13
  Speaker 16: then why do you even have the position?
• 50:15
  Speaker 17: You know, that's just more..
• 50:16
  Speaker 10: He's getting paid.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: You know, I mean, if you..
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: What was the old thing that... Truman used to say,
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: the buck stops here. Shouldn't a buck stop with DeWine?
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: Because he is the governor.
• 50:27
  Speaker 17: No, I totally agree. I totally agree. I think DeWine..
• 50:30
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I think he should stop there. But if you
• 50:33
  Speaker 16: have a second in command... um, you know, that, you know, if, if,
• 50:37
  Speaker 16: let's just say whatever, something happened to wine, who's going
• 50:39
  Speaker 16: to be your governor. You know, if he goes out
• 50:41
  Speaker 16: and gets in a car accident, you're, you have your
• 50:43
  Speaker 16: new Lieutenant governor. So if you're going to sit there
• 50:45
  Speaker 16: and say that, oh, well, he doesn't know this, or
• 50:48
  Speaker 16: he doesn't know that. Well, he's second in command.
• 50:51
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 50:52
  Speaker 16: I just always, you know, I, I was always a
• 50:54
  Speaker 16: huge Jim Trestle fan, but I mean, I, You know,
• 50:58
  Speaker 16: he's always like a, I don't know, slippery wizard or something.
• 51:01
  Speaker 16: You know, the guy down there, he's second in command,
• 51:04
  Speaker 16: and nobody brings up his name about any of this
• 51:07
  Speaker 16: fraud at all. You know, he's just going to put
• 51:09
  Speaker 16: a sweater vest on and walk away like he's, you.
• 51:11
  Speaker 17: Know, go get a job somewhere else.
• 51:14
  Speaker 6: I don't know. I just don't.
• 51:15
  Speaker 10: I don't know.
• 51:16
  Speaker 16: I don't trust any of them anymore, honestly.
• 51:18
  Speaker 17: I think they're all in on it. I think it's
• 51:19
  Speaker 17: a uniparty.
• 51:20
  Speaker 16: I'm sick of it. You know, I'm a property owner
• 51:22
  Speaker 16: in Trouble County. And, you know, I sit there and
• 51:25
  Speaker 16: I pay my taxes and I see all these dollar
• 51:28
  Speaker 16: bills going somewhere else. I mean, frankly, and again, not
• 51:31
  Speaker 16: to sound like.
• 51:33
  Speaker 17: A crazy person, because I'm not. I have a family.
• 51:36
  Speaker 16: But at some point... When does the common guy say,
• 51:41
  Speaker 16: fuck it, I want to get my country back?
• 51:43
  Speaker 17: You know what I'm saying? Like, these politicians are just
• 51:45
  Speaker 17: out of control.
• 51:46
  Speaker 16: And our country, honestly, was founded because.
• 51:49
  Speaker 10: Of out-of-control government.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 51:52
  Speaker 17: I hate to shout, like I.
• 51:53
  Speaker 10: Said, I'm not..
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: But don't you think we're getting closer and closer to that, though? Because,
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, it's at a breaking point right now.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: And you are being ignored. And I think it's at
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: a breaking point as we speak today. And every day
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: that it goes further, it gets more and more heated
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: as a result of it. I mean, so aren't we
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: there now? Because haven't we put people under so much...
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: Aren't we taking so much of their money, we're making
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: it difficult for them to survive in many cases?
• 52:24
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I just look at the whole thing, and number one,
• 52:27
  Speaker 16: I'm not... I'm a Trump voter, but I can sit
• 52:31
  Speaker 16: there and tell you things that I think he's done wrong.
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 52:34
  Speaker 17: You know, like I'm... However, I still think he's the
• 52:38
  Speaker 17: best that I've seen so.
• 52:39
  Speaker 10: Far in a lot of policies.
• 52:41
  Speaker 17: However, he has screwed some things up.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 52:44
  Speaker 17: But, again, if you look at what he's tried to.
• 52:47
  Speaker 16: Do and how both sides constantly try to fight him
• 52:50
  Speaker 16: on everything, it.
• 52:52
  Speaker 10: Just goes against that whole thing.
• 52:53
  Speaker 17: It's a unit party.
• 52:54
  Speaker 16: And, you know, you almost, you know, sometimes you just
• 52:58
  Speaker 16: almost wish they were all on a plane at times.
• 53:01
  Speaker 17: They go down.
• 53:01
  Speaker 16: I mean, it's like the whitewash of.
• 53:03
  Speaker 17: Our own startup. I'm just sick of it, you know?
• 53:06
  Speaker 16: I go to work every day, and I see people
• 53:08
  Speaker 16: driving around on these videos. They're driving around in, you know,
• 53:12
  Speaker 16: Lexuses and everything else, making.
• 53:14
  Speaker 10: $ 5, 000 a month on my money.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 53:17
  Speaker 16: And, I mean, it makes me, honestly, and I don't
• 53:23
  Speaker 16: feel like I'm, I don't want to say a hateful person,
• 53:27
  Speaker 16: but it makes me mistrust anybody that I see that
• 53:31
  Speaker 16: doesn't look.
• 53:32
  Speaker 17: Like they are an American.
• 53:33
  Speaker 16: I'm thinking, well, is that dude getting my money?
• 53:35
  Speaker 17: Is that dude getting my money? I look at what
• 53:37
  Speaker 17: a car driver. Well, maybe he is.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: Well, because you've been paying attention to the leering centers
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: and the transportation and the millions and billions that have
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: been ripped off by people that have come to this
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: country who haven't assimilated, have no intention to do that,
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: and are doing nothing but stealing all of your tax
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: dollars and will... make more money than you will earn
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: in a lifetime as a result of doing that by
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: these scams. And that's the reality. And you're upset by it?
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: You damn well should be, don't you think? And you're saying,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: let's hold people accountable. Where's DeWine? Where's the attorney general?
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Where's the auditor? Where are the people? All this is
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: coming out because of Nick Shirley in Minnesota. So now
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: it's coming out, hey, guess what? Tampon Tim wasn't the
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: only incompetent one. We had it going on here in Ohio.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: So who's being held accountable?
• 54:26
  Speaker 16: We're supposed to have all these qualified people, and you
• 54:28
  Speaker 16: have a person, what? I don't even know how Nick,
• 54:29
  Speaker 16: he's not over 30.
• 54:30
  Speaker 17: I wouldn't think. I would say at my age, he's
• 54:33
  Speaker 17: a kid.
• 54:34
  Speaker 16: I mean, you have a kid that can expose this,
• 54:36
  Speaker 16: and yet these maggots in offices.
• 54:39
  Speaker 17: Can't do it?
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: I'm with you.
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: Amen, brother.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Thanks for your call. Appreciate it. The guy is spot on.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: Two excellent calls in a row. Excellent. 330-729-9977. Your comment, 330-729-9977.
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: That's why I say I think we are at a
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: breaking point. I think we're there now. Government continues to
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: take more and more of productive people's money. Productive people
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: are looking around and saying, look at the money you're
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: taking from me, making it difficult for me to save
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: for my retirement, making it difficult for me to enjoy
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: a vacation, making it difficult for me to stay in
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: my house as I age, making it difficult for me
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: to deal with the increasing cost of just basic health
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: care because you're taking so much of my money for
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: everybody else. So you hear it, and people are justified
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: in saying it. And saying, well, wait a minute. I'm
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: looking at all of these grants for this ridiculous stuff,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: as the boss lady was saying. I'm looking at all
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: of these people that have gone on for years ripping
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: off Medicaid, millions and billions of dollars buying the Lexuses,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: sending a million dollars back to Somalia in a suitcase. Hey,
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: I thought it was just in Minnesota. Wait a minute.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: It's in Ohio. Well, who's getting arrested? Why aren't these
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: people being thrown out of this country? What public officials
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: were lax in doing their job? I mean, I get
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: it all. And I get that guy's frustration and anger
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: with it. And I think it's all justified. And he
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: has it because he's paying attention to what's going on.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: They get away with it when you're not paying attention.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: It's why I sit here and you've got to admire people.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: You've got to admire people that are actively involved, like
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: the boss lady in Richard Pharmacist and Ted the Conservative.
• 56:44
  Speaker 6: And what's going on? 570 WKBN.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: And we're on Verb 423 here on a Tuesday afternoon
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: with 83 degrees. And good to be with you. We'll
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: be with you until 6 tonight. Guardians. With the pre-show,
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: it's 6 o'clock, first pitch about 6.30 on NewsRadio 570.
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: Dodie Kivian, hello. You're on the air.
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: Hi.
• 57:07
  Speaker 10: How are you doing?
• 57:09
  Speaker 6: It's J.J.
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: The Liberal.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: He has sent me some copies of some of his pictures,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: and I think I like what I happen to see.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: You call some of it space art. I look at it,
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: and it's like outer space. And it's like..
• 57:29
  Speaker 10: I always tell my wife it kind of looks like
• 57:32
  Speaker 10: a four-year-old doing it, but..
• 57:33
  Speaker 6: No, it does not look like a four-year-old.
• 57:35
  Speaker 10: I know it's silly, but I enjoy doing it. But
• 57:39
  Speaker 10: I'm glad you got them. I tried to give you...
• 57:41
  Speaker 10: Did you see the ones with the horse and the Jesus?
• 57:45
  Speaker 10: I sent you one today with a picture that I
• 57:49
  Speaker 10: drew of Jesus with the cross and also a horse
• 57:54
  Speaker 10: and a leopard. Did you get those two?
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: I got, let me, yes, yes, yes. I saw the
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: one of the horse's head and I saw the one
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: of the fish, but those were not the ones that
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: I was most impressed with. I was What do you
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: call it? Are they called abstracts or something along those lines?
• 58:16
  Speaker 10: There's ones you saw that kind of look like you're
• 58:18
  Speaker 10: on acid. You've never been on acid before. But that's
• 58:23
  Speaker 10: like a fluid art. And then there's the drawings, and
• 58:25
  Speaker 10: then there's the space paint.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought the space painting was the coolest of all.
• 58:33
  Speaker 10: Thank you very much.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: Of all the stuff you did, the colors.
• 58:36
  Speaker 10: You're being nice to me. No, I'm not.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: The colors were nice. Now, there was another one that
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: I saw that you sent me today, the one with
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: the sunset and the water, the orange sunset.
• 58:47
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that was spray paint.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: Is that spray paint?
• 58:52
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 58:52
  Speaker 10: I use, like, different things, like, to get certain, like,
• 58:57
  Speaker 10: textures I'll use, like, anything from, like, news, or not newspapers,
• 59:01
  Speaker 10: but magazines that they, that kind of wax, you know, newspaper,
• 59:05
  Speaker 10: magazine sheets, or I'll use a plastic bag. Sometimes I use,
• 59:10
  Speaker 10: use my hands. It's a little of everything. Every spray
• 59:13
  Speaker 10: painter uses different types of items to make their... Yeah,
• 59:17
  Speaker 10: it's not bad stuff.
• 59:18
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's not..
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, if the colors are good, the space art
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: is good. And I mean, I can see it there.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's like planets out in space. but it's
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: done really well.
• 59:40
  Speaker 10: You're in a spacecraft, and you're looking at different planets.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 59:45
  Speaker 10: I do go on with the galaxy that I did.
• 59:47
  Speaker 10: It's off in the distance, and it's my way of
• 59:51
  Speaker 10: kind of escaping a little bit, and I love the colors.
• 59:53
  Speaker 10: Last night, I was in the garage doing a couple,
• 59:56
  Speaker 10: and I turned on the..
• 59:58
  Speaker 6: I can actually..
• 59:59
  Speaker 10: It looked like I was in a bar. I had
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 10: to listen to the music because it was like Illuminati. Sure.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 10: You don't have to do acid.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: To appreciate your artwork. You don't have to be like
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: on heroin or acid or anything like that to appreciate
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: your artwork.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 10: I would imagine if you're on heroin or acid, you're
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 10: not going to be able to do too much. Yeah.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 10: I indulge beforehand sometimes, and it gives me a little
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 10: bit of relaxation.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: Now, wait a minute. You're smoking a devil's lettuce, but
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: that's different. But you call it appropriately space art, and
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: it does look like you're looking at different galaxies and
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: stars and that kind of stuff.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 6: It's kind of cool.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: It's kind of cool.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 10: I appreciate that. You know, that's what I'm saying is
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 10: I want to direct it toward younger people. That's not
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 10: anything that maybe you want to.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: Put up in your house. Well, you know, when you're
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: talking young. Well, listen, pal, when you're talking younger people,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: you're talking me. You are talking.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 10: You're young at heart, Ron. You're young at heart.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 10: I kind of appreciate all the compliments that I do.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 10: I never thought about sending you anything, and I thought I'd...
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 10: And someday I'll have to send you maybe a picture
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 10: of my son, too. He's nice. We got a nice
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 10: couple pictures. He's growing up, and he's a beautiful little kid.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 10: I don't know where he got the looks. I think
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 10: he got it from his wife. My wife, because they
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 10: didn't get them from me. But anyway, I want to
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 10: just one more minute of your time. I know you've
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 10: got people waiting and you've got to leave early. But
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 10: I want to just bring a couple things to your guys' attention. One,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 10: the small young thing, I agree that there was fraud
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 10: going on and a lot of stealing, a lot of theft,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 10: and a lot of enormous amounts of money. And that
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 10: is not right no matter what color you are or
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 10: no matter who you are. But also I have to,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 10: you know, bring to everybody's attention that part of the
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 10: people that were involved in guiding these individuals who do
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 10: the stealing were Americans. They were people that were from
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 10: this country. So I just wanted to bring that to
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 10: your attention. But again, I'm agreeing more than 50% with
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 10: you guys. The other thing is, yesterday, the Game 3
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 10: of the... the NBA championship was in New York. Yes.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 10: And I didn't appreciate him doing what he did, Trump,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 10: by going in there, because people were supposed to, they
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 10: couldn't get in. There was like $ 4, 300 a ticket. And
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 10: so people were, bars weren't, you know, allowing people to
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 10: go in, and they were having, you know, specials, and
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 10: everybody was just going to have a good time.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: Stand by.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: Stand by.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: Stand by, J.J. It's J.J. the Liberal. I want to
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: hear the rest of it. Right after this, Ron Verb,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570 WKVN.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 6: NewsRadio 570 WKVN.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: From NewsRadio 570 WKVN and Ron Verb, good to be
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: with you here, 435 in the afternoon. So you have
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: this case in Texas where they came out with the
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: verdict today of guilty for this. This was a case,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember it or not. Collin County, Texas.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: Jury found 19-year-old Kamalo Anthony guilty of murder. The verdict
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: was reached regarding the April 2025 fatal stabbing of 17-year-old
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: Austin Metcalf following a confrontation at a high school track
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: meet in a Dallas suburb. So now everything turns into
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: a racial thing anymore these days because we The young
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: man that was stabbed is white. And the person that
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: stabbed him is black. So let me give you some
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: of the details about what happened. They say the fatal
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: altercation took place in a team tent during a rainy
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: regional track competition when a dispute arose over Anthony and Now,
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: he would be the African-American, is Anthony, being in a
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: seating area not designated for his school. So he was
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: where he didn't belong. Medcalf, that would be the white kid,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: pushed Anthony. And Anthony responded by stabbing Medcalf once in
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: the chest with a pocket knife and killed him. So
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: that's kind of the background of the case. So the
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: jury heard the case and said, okay, we find him guilty.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: So this is our system. Now just think about what happens.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was in a tent that he didn't
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: belong in. He didn't leave. The other kid pushed him,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: and his action was to stab the other kid in
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: the heart. basically in a chest so the jury found
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: him guilty so now once again you have the the
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: folks that always say it's everything's about race because the
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: victim is white and the person that did the stabbing
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: is black and yet the legal minds say this has
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with race this has absolutely nothing to
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: do with race it has to do with just the
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: facts of the case Somebody's dead as a result of
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: somebody stabbing him. But everything, I mean, if you got
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: somebody involved that's two races, somebody white, somebody black, everything
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: seems to be our race anymore. And so the young
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: man faces five to 99 years or life in prison.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: As I always say, the other person will be dead forever.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: So the other person is going to be dead forever.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: That young man isn't coming back. And the young man
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: who thought the answer was when he was in the
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: wrong tent and somebody pushed him, the answer was to
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: pull out a knife and stab someone. It's unreal. So
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: once again, everything is about black and whites when you
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: have races involved in it. So we shall see what
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: happens as time goes on. But when you listen to
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: the legal minds that say it's a pretty much a
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: cut and dry case here. And race isn't a factor.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: It's pretty well cut and dry. And I wonder if
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: the people that are protesting, I wonder if the African-American
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: community protesting, if they would be protesting, let's say if
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: the roles are reversed. Let's say if it was a
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: white individual that did the exact same scenario to a
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: black individual, would they still be outraged? Would they still
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: be screaming and protesting? I mean, it's just, if you
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: listen to the so-called, you know, Turley and his legal people,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: it seemed to be able to say, this is a
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: pretty much a cut and dry case. It's why the
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: jury heard the evidence, rendered its verdict relatively quickly. I
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: think it was in three hours or less And found
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: him guilty. And now sentencing is underway. But I mean,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: so what's the protest about? So the white kid pushed
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: this kid and that meant it was okay for the
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: other kid to whip out a knife and stab him
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: in the chest and kill him? We're dealing with, what,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: 17-year-olds here? So that is the latest verdict that has
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: taken place today. Trump's got a big problem on his hands.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: And Trump vows a response after claiming Iran shot down
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: this Apache helicopter over the strait. So the pilots are okay.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: So we didn't have any death as a result of it.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: But Trump vows a response. These things have a way
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: of escalating. And, hey, listen, we've talked about it endlessly
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: on the program. You know where I stand. I think
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: it was a mistake from the very beginning to get to,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: I think Trump miscalculated this whole thing. We've talked about
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: it numerous times. You're well aware of that. I mean,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: everybody's got an opinion, including me. And it's just like,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: think of where things would have been as far as
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: our economy was concerned if this didn't happen. I tell
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: you my concern about it all because, I mean, we
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: were going in the right direction. Gas was about, what,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: $ 2. 50 a gallon, $ 2. 60 a gallon around here. So we
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: saw inflation was declining. Energy costs were declining. declining. Things
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: were going in the right direction. And literally, as a
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: result of this decision, in the blink of an eye,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: he reversed his own stand on what he thought about
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: getting involved in regime change in the Middle East. He
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: reversed his own stand. both on Epstein and in this
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: situation in the Middle East. And the next thing you know,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: all the accomplishments that people were concerned about when it
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: comes to affordability, something that we should all be concerned
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: about when it comes to affordability, all of that got
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: reversed in the blink of an eye, literally in the
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: blink of an eye, it all got reversed. So we
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: saw energy prices go up to close to $ 5 a gallon. Sometimes,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: some places I'm seeing around here at $ 4. 40 or $ 4
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: a gallon in my neck of the woods, they've come
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: down from the highs, but they're still high as far
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: as the price is concerned. Inflation has gone back. We
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: got inflation back. We got high energy prices back, all
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: as a result of one decision. Everything that he did
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: that was good was reversed as a result of one decision.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: And as we speculate, as I do, to say, I
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: think he did this because of the influence of Netanyahu
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: in Israel, in my humble opinion. But he reversed all
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: his progress. And why was he elected in the first place?
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: Wasn't it people elected him to secure the border and affordability? Well,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: the border is still secure. We don't see as many people.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: People elected him to secure the border also to get
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: these people that came into your country illegally coming to
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: America illegally. is a privilege. It's not a right. And
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: people said, okay, now you got to get these people
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: who came here illegally out of here. And he was
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: doing that. And it seems like he's backed off of
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: that a little bit, getting people out that came here illegally.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: He's backed off of that. And it seems that he's
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: getting involved in his stuff in the Middle East, which
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: he was opposed to doing. And it's reversed a lot
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: of the progress. So that's why so many people are
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: concerned about the midterms, saying, hey, if it's the economy, stupid,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: like they say so often, if we got these problems
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: going in the midterms, what's going to happen as far
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: as the results are there? What's going to happen and
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: who's going to control Congress or the Senate? As a
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: result of these actions and the affordability issue that's still
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: Now it still remains a major factor. It's going to
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: be interesting to see what happens. Now, and all these
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: experts are saying, hey, if we stay, if this continues
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: to go on, the United States will reach tank bottom.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: That means the surplus of oil that we have in
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: these tanks around here at refineries and what have you
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: is pretty much depleted and it will hit tank bottom.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: Now you've got a big problem. Other countries are already
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: experiencing that issue. And we're close to experiencing it here
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: in the United States in July and August. So the
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: experts say. And when you hit that, guess what can happen?
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: The price of a barrel of oil can go way up.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: And the price of gasoline can go way up. And
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: that's why some of these experts say better reach a
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: conclusion here. Try to reach an agreement in June because
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: this is coming in July and August. The tank bottom
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: in the United States. Well, it seems like Iran wasn't
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: interested in reaching any type of a resolution. So now
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: it seems like it's escalating even further with Trump saying, well,
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: we've got to respond to shooting out this Apache helicopter.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: We've got to do some type of response, and we'll
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: see where it goes. And now you're at where people have–
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: most people are in two places. I mean, you have
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: the people on one extreme that say, okay, basically crap
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: or get off the pot. You've got people saying– We
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: can't reach an agreement with Iran. You got people that
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: are saying, okay, then take it to them. Bring it
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: to them. Bring it to them. So you got people
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: that say Trump's got to militarily get more aggressive and
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: start the military campaign and put an end to this.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: This just can't go on and drag on forever by saying, oh,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: we can potentially reach an agreement. Well, we're not reaching one.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: He's been saying that for a long period of time.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: And if we're not reaching one, then you have people
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: that say he's got to pump it up militarily speaking.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've heard everything from people saying you've got
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: to start the bombing campaign again. There's no way you're
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: going to do this without putting some boots on the ground.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: You have people talking about nuclear weapons. I mean, you've
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: got all kinds of stuff going on that people are saying,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: but they want to see this thing reach a conclusion
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: as opposed to just drag on and on and on.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: And then you've got other people that basically say, just
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: get out of there. But these experts, as I like
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: to inform you, if you follow these oil analysts, as
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: I've been telling you on the program over the last
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: week or so, all oil is an oil, different types
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: of oil, light crude, heavy crude. You need heavy crude
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: for diesel oil. which is needed in trucking, shipping, heavy
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: crude for airline gas, aviation fuel. And we in the
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: United States have light crude. So that's why we export
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: so much of our oil and import oil. That's why
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: we import more than we export because we need the
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: heavy crude. So we're not really oil-wise energy independent. And
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: then through our refineries, we're able to use that combination
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: somehow to get what we need. Or at least that's
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: what they're saying. So then, as I say, you look
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: at these experts and say, if this thing drags on,
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: and who knows after today where Trump vows a response
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: that this thing could very well drag on, where that
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: will lead us as far as reaching what they call
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: tank bottom here in our country and what that will
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: do to gasoline prices and or inflation. And then people saying,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: what then happens at the midterms if he loses the
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: Senate or Congress or both houses? Then what happens over
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: the next two years? Trump supporters who say they want
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: the American agenda and they want affordability. And are we
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: going back to this wacko stuff of the Democrats? It's
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: a mess. It's an absolute mess. So we shall see.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, as this thing drags on and it looks
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: like it's– I mean, Iran just keeps stringing you along.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: Doesn't seem like they're interested in reaching any type of
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: an agreement. Maybe they're playing a waiting game knowing the
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: midterms are coming. And you got Trump looking for a
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: way out of this, I suspect, but it just seems
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: to get more intense as time goes on. But as
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: time goes on, I think the costs– our costs inflation-wise
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: and energy-wise are just going to continue to go up.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: And that means everything costs more from an airline tickets
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: to groceries and all that kind of stuff. Comments, 330-729-9977
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: will get you through to us. So I just want
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: to give you the latest on that verdict that took place.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: And also the latest as far as this situation just
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: kind of heats up more as far as... Iran is
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: concerned with shooting down this U.S. Apache helicopter. All right, enough.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: Shut up, Ron, and take some calls. Okay, I will.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: 4.49 in the afternoon. I lost my place, so let
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: me just start here. You're on the air.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's me.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: Okay. I think I'm done with you, but you can
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: go ahead. I thought I was done with you, but
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: go ahead, make your thoughts.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 6: And then I'll move on.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 10: No, you're not done with me, no. I get one minute.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, go.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 10: Yesterday when you went to New York and went to
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 10: the game, First of all, he's not a basketball fan.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 10: Second of all, all those people, New Yorkers, who haven't
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 10: had a New York Knicks home game in a championship
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 10: for 25 years, weren't able to even go to those
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 10: bars and enjoy themselves because he was in town. And
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 10: when he was in town during the national anthem for
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 10: the umpteenth time, he saluted that flag. That is not correct.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 10: He has to put his hand over his heart. Okay,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 10: I'm very much a ready person.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: When it comes to that.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 6: All right, he went to the game.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: It's odd that usually when he goes through this stuff,
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: he just gets a lot of cheers and that kind
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: of stuff. Well, when he went to the game, he
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: got some cheers and some boos.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 10: He got a lot more boos. He's a football fan.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 10: He's not a basketball fan. He's a football fan.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: Well, he's a New Yorker. Make no mistake.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 10: He's a New Yorker, but again, I'm going to argue
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 10: a point with you. New York doesn't want him there. Okay.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 10: I mean, maybe Pennsylvania doesn't want me there. That's just
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 10: the way it is. I'm not going to go to
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 10: PA if I'm not wanted. And anyway, the point is,
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 10: is that not even to the halfway through the game,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 10: he fell asleep and they had to leave. So he
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 10: left early. All those, so he was just coming there
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 10: for that 45 minutes to screw everybody's night up. That's selfish.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 10: That's narcissistic. And I don't like it. Okay. And that
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 10: way at that point, and then you can respond to these.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 10: The thing about the war, listen, we buried that those,
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 10: any of the uranium or the plutonium, we buried it. Okay,
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 10: there should be no reason an Apache helicopter should be
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 10: in the air in the first place. This is getting old.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 10: It's getting tiresome. I'm tired of the threats. And, you know,
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 10: a couple of your callers, I'm not going to name
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 10: any names. I'm not attacking anybody. But they said, well,
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 10: we ought to just, since we bombed them already, that
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 10: we might as well just take them all out. So
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 10: you're talking about children. Innocent people that you want to kill. Okay,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 10: I'm not going to deliberate too much more on that.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 10: What gives us the right to do that? And then
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 10: what are you going to do? Are you going to
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 10: wipe 91 million people off the face of the earth
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 10: and not think that there's going to be a consequence
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 10: to that? Second of all, you know, the thing is,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 10: and a couple of people said, well, if they don't
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 10: establish a nuclear weapon, they'll just buy it from Russia
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 10: or China. What was the purpose of us going there
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 10: in the first place? If they were to say they
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 10: can get a nuclear weapon anyway.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: I got to pause. Thank you, JJ.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 7: Youngstown's news, weather, and talk station, 570 WKBN.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: IDO, 456 in the afternoon. We'll be here tonight till
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: 6 o'clock. Guardians pregame after the break at 6. First
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: pitch around 6.30 tonight here on NewsRadio 570 WKBN. So
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: keep that in mind. Another hour of your conversations. We'll
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: be conversating between 5 and 6 tonight on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: So keep that in mind. Roy, we'll pick it up.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: right after the news break. I want to talk to
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: you for just a bit about the good folks at
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: Stadium GM in the heart of Salem. It's one of
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: those places that I can brag about because I've been
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: a longtime customer of Stadium GM in Salem. And I
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: encourage you to visit Stadium GM in Salem as well.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: Why do I encourage you to do that? Because you
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: won't be treated better anywhere else. First of all, it's
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: not a dealership that's part of a large conglomerate, so
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: you get kind of lost in the mix. It's a
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: dealership where you find everything that General Motors makes. Everything.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: So if you're looking for Buick, Cadillac, GMC, or Chevy,
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: you'll find it at Stadium GM in the heart of Salem,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: all under one roof. And you'll find the attitude that
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: appreciates your business and wants to keep your business and
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: wants your business and your family's business. And with that attitude,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: you know they're going to be treating you right. Whether
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: that's the service department or the sales department, it doesn't matter.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: It's why... I can tell you as a customer of
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: Stadium GM, that's why we are customers. From buying our
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: Chevy Cruzes there to our Chevy Equinox, you can't be
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: treated better by a group of people. With a great
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: selection and just the attitude is what I find refreshing.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: And by the way, you can see the used cars, trucks,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: and SUVs or the new products online at StadiumGM.com. Carfax
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: reports are there for you as well. So it's a
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: great dealership. So if you're in the market for a vehicle,
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: Why not make it a joy on yourself and visit
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: Shorty Navarro and Mike Hudak and the entire gang at
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: Stadium GM in the heart of Salem? Let me pause
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: for the headlines at 5. Then I'll come back with more.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: Another hour here on NewsRadio 570 WKBN until the Guardians pregame.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: Ron Verp from the Kingdom of Mahoning, NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 12: From ABC News, I'm Lindsay Davis, anchor of Prime, streaming
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 12: weeknights on ABC News Live. President Trump is blaming Iran
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 12: for this morning's downing of an Apache Air Army helicopter
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 12: near the Strait of Hormuz. More from ABC's Karen Travers
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 12: at the White House.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 18: The president posted on social media that the two pilots
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 18: involved were safe and uninjured, but he now says that
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 18: the United States, quote, must of necessity respond to this attack.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 18: He does not get specific in his social media post,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 18: and the White House hasn't responded to our questions about this,
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 18: about what he might do now against Iran because of
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 18: this takedown of the helicopter.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 12: A Texas jury deliberated three hours before finding teenager Carmelo
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 12: Anthony guilty of murder. Jurors didn't buy his claim of
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 12: self-defense in the stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a high
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 12: school track meet last year. ABC News legal contributor Brian Buckmeyer.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 14: It's clear that the prosecution's closing argument, getting the last word,
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 14: saying that swift justice needed to be met and that
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 14: this was not self-defense, the idea of bringing a knife
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 14: to a fist fight, the proportionality of the self-defense is
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 14: too high. If someone attacks you with their fists, you're
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 14: supposed to respond with your fists. If someone attacks you
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 14: with deadly force, like a knife or a gun, you
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 14: can do that, but you can't escalate it. And so
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 14: what this verdict tells me is that the jury did
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 14: not buy the self-defense claim. They thought that Carmela Anthony
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 14: escalated this too high and that he's guilty of murder.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 12: They're voting today in primaries in four states. Control of
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 12: the Senate could fall on Maine voters as they decide
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 12: if they can overlook recent allegations about frontrunner Graham Plattner.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 12: The first four people on the next moon mission just
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 12: got their orders.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 9: We are returning to the moon.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 19: A grand adventure back to the lunar surface to build
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 19: a moon base and to do so for all of
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 19: its scientific, its economic potential, and to master the skills
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 19: for where we will inevitably go next.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 12: The announcement from NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, the Artemis III
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 12: crew includes three Americans and one Italian astronaut. They will
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 12: dock with a moon module for an eventual boots down
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 12: on the lunar surface. You're listening to ABC News.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: All right, from NewsRadio 570, Dodie Cummings, and here's some
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: things I want to bring to your attention. Just other
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: stuff that I want you to know of that I
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: just thought was interesting that I want to bring to
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: your attention outside of everything else that we're talking about
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: and got going on, all right? Incidentally, welcome 506 here
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: on a Tuesday afternoon. Ron Verb with you till 6
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: o'clock tonight. Guardians pregame at 6. It's 83 degrees. But
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: this is stuff outside of everything else that we're talking about,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: things that I found interesting that I want to pass
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: along to you. One of them is a letter to
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: the editor... that appeared in Sunday's paper. No, the Saturday-Sunday edition,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: I guess you would say, paper. And I thought that
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: this was really, this is eye-opening. I thought it was well-written,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: and it was something that I just wanted you to
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: be aware of. So I'm going to read it to you,
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: all right? There's a couple of different news stories that
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: I want you to know about. This was a letter
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: to the editor. It says, Dear Editor, Many veterinary practices
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: in our area and across the nation have have gone
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: from private clinics to corporate enterprises. If you're nearing retirement,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: any of the large veterinary corporations can give you a
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: very appealing sales pitch. You can even stay on for
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: an agreed upon period during a transition. Most of these
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: veterinary corporations own hundreds of practices, but some own thousands,
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: and many of those are specialized referral hospitals. The plus
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: part of the pitch is that these corporations have lots
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: of money to spend buying most modern equipments for the practice,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: providing needed building improvements, advertising, recruitment, etc. The downside is
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: that the overall expenses are the same, utilities, rent or mortgage, salaries, insurance,
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: staff benefits, but now they have to raise prices because
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: the corporation needs a piece of the pie. And you
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: have to pay for all that new stuff by using
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: it and charging for it. So if you get new equipment,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: often $ 30, 000 or more for one item, you have to
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: find a way to pay for it. That means use
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: it often, even if it isn't truly warranted. Regardless, it's
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: called good medicine. More than one practice only wants a client,
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: the kind who never asks, how much is that? But
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: this area is mostly C. Some will offer various levels
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: of diagnostic or care, silver, gold, or platinum. You want
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: what's best for your pet, don't you? Caveat emptor. It's
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: a business, and the bottom line is all importance. You
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: can't lose money every month and keep your doors open.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: When I moved to Youngstown from Illinois, I signed on
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: with a local multi-vet practice. I was relieved, however, before
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: the first year was up. Wasn't bringing in the profits.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: The boss stressed, recheck, recheck, recheck. But I didn't think
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: it was always necessary. At the end of every month,
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: your productivity was reviewed and you were reminded if it
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: wasn't up to snuff. That was private practice, not corporate.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: But it's corporate now. The profession has changed. The camaraderie
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: is gone. Now it's dog eat dog, so to speak.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: But I love what I do, and that includes being
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: my own boss, no pressure to produce. That was written
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: by Don Allen, the local veterinarian for years. And I
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: just thought when I read that, I thought that was
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: something I wanted to bring to your attention because many
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: of these companies, as he's saying, and you're seeing it
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: in many, you're seeing it in funeral homes and in
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: many businesses where they are not successful They started out
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: as family-owned or local small businesses. They still keep the
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: name and everything, but they end up being bought by
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: investment companies. You see it in funeral homes. They keep
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: the name, but it's bought by an investment company. You
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: think it's the same, but it's not. And he's saying
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: that this is very prevalent. It is very prevalent in
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: veterinary practices. So you can see it in, as he said, hundreds,
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: if not thousands, where they buy these veterinary practices. They
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: invest in all this high-priced equipment. Then they encourage you, obviously,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: to use it. That's how we're going to pay for it.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: Make sure you use it. Well, what if it's not necessary?
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: We'll try to find a reason to use it, even
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: if it's not necessary. That's how we're going to pay
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: for it. And of course, the bottom line is, I
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: think what he's saying in this is, when these corporations
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: buy up these local vets, guess what's the first thing
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: to increase? The price you pay. Because now the corporation
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: needs to make a return on its investment. So I
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: just thought that was really well written. That was in
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: Sunday's paper. I just thought that was really well written.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: Outside of what we're talking about, something else I wanted
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: to bring to your attention. I just thought this was really,
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: really something. This was about an estate of a woman.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: She's suing a nursing, their estate is suing this nursing
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: home in Trumbull County Common Police Court, alleging medical negligence, recklessness,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: wrongful death. The suit file last month states that this
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: woman of Niles died May 7th, 2025, after the facility
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: accepted her as a short-term rehabilitation resident on or about
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: March 31st, 2025, to provide rehabilitation care and treatment as
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: she recovered from surgery to repair a broken vertebrae in
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: her spine. She was 60 when she entered the facility,
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: 60 years old. The suit alleges that this woman's back
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: surgery and hospitalization went smoothly, and her attending surgeon and
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: treating doctors expected her to make a full recovery and
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: return to living independently at home after a short course
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: of rehabilitation. Now, listen to this. Remember, she's 60 years old.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: She had back surgery. Now, the suit states that the
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: woman was prescribed pain medication by her treating doctor to
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: reduce pain from a broken vertebrae and surgery. and that
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: the defendants knew that these medications can cause severe constipation. Well,
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: under the defendant's care and supervision at this nursing and
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: rehab place, the defendant failed to monitor the woman for
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: signs and symptoms of constipation, missing completely that the woman
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: had not had a bowel movement for several weeks before.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: The suit alleges for several days before she died, she's
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: 60 years old. She had back surgery, was in there
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: to rehab. And it says for several days before developing,
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: let's see, for several days before she died, she developed nausea, vomiting,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: and was not acting like her usual self, becoming withdrawn
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: and lethargic, the suit states. When family members saw her
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: in serious distress, They insisted that the staff call an
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: ambulance to take her to St. Joe's and Warren Hospital.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: At the hospital, she was diagnosed with severe fecal impaction,
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: which resulted in stretching and compressing of the walls of
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: her colon, resulting in portions of her colon losing blood
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: flow and dying off. She suffered a colon perforation, causing
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: feces and bacteria to leak into her abdomen, leading to
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: infection and life-threatening medical emergency. During surgery, her entire colon
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: was removed. Her entire colon. Listen to this. And she
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: remained extremely ill and unstable and died the next day.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: Her death certificate states she died from septic shock due
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: to perforated colon. The suit alleges that the defendant failed
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: to ensure through their operational budgetary and consultation and managerial
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: decisions and actions that that the facilities were sufficiently staffed
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: to meet the individual needs of its residents. The suit
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: states that this nursing home is also, and it gives
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: you different names, the suit seeks $ 125, 000 in damages against
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: the defendants. So can you imagine this woman goes and
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: she has back surgery. She has back surgery. She's 60
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: years old. Now they say, okay, she is on pain medication.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: Pain medication can, can we talk frankly, can make you constipated.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: She's on pain medication. And she's at this rehab facility.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: She's 60 years old. She had back operation. She's on
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: pain medication. And they're aware of all of this. And
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: they failed, according to the suit, to monitor her. for
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: signs and symptoms of constipation, missing completely that this woman
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: had not had a bowel movement for several weeks. And
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: now there's a lawsuit as a result of it, and
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: there should be. I mean, when you read this kind
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: of stuff, you just say to yourself, wow. So I
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: wanted you to know about Dr. Allen's letter about all
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: these corporations buying up veterinary practices and how they've got
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: to pay for the equipment and prices usually go up.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: I thought that was well-written. You see that in so
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: many instances, like I say, buying up what you think
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: are funeral homes that are not owned by the family anymore.
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: Same name and all that kind of stuff, but it's
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: now owned by a corporation. You got many, many businesses
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: being bought up by these companies doing that. And one
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: other thing, Trump announces 700 million for the coal industry,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: which I believe in diversity when it comes to producing electricity.
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: So he's going to, Give $ 700 million to the coal industry.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: I'll give you details about that coming up soon. Maybe today,
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: maybe tomorrow. Give you something to tune in for. Because
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: this is Evan Yack, and I've got people sitting here
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: on hold. And I'm going to see if this one
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: is who I think it might be. You're on the air.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 10: Good evening, Ron.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: Well, I've got people on hold, but I was playing
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: phone bingo.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: And the satellite dish is in the right direction. Your
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: satellite phone connection is coming in good. Can you copy
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: me good over?
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 9: I got a 4x4 over here.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, 4x4. It's G2. I'm glad you called because we're
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: only on until 6. Now, I want to talk to
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: you about this situation with the Apache helicopter. Trump vows
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: response after claiming Iran shot down U.S. Apache helicopter. The
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: crew is all okay. But this thing is escalating. Now,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: as we've talked on previous shows, as my guys that you,
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know, disagree with or agree with, I'm not certain,
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: you know, that Art Berman character who says, hey, we're
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: going to get to tank bottom here in July or August.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: We better be concluding this before too long or we're
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: going to have some serious problems here as far as
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: the price of a barrel of Earl. And gasoline costs
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: and diesel costs. If this thing drags on, this is
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: where it's heading. So we keep hearing about an agreement.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: There's no agreement. And now today you have this situation.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: Give me your assessment.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 9: Well, the Art Berman commentary, I looked into as much
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 9: of it as I could stomach. And I find him
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 9: to be so incredibly biased. that his industry analysis is
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 9: worth much less than it would be if he were
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 9: just an objective oil industry analyst. But, you know, his
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 9: politics is in his way. So he says, quote, there
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 9: will be no deal, believe me. And the next thing
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 9: he says is, quote, No one knows what is going
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 9: to happen, including me. Right. He just goes on and
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 9: on with these negative comments that get in the way
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 9: of talking about what's actually happening in the industry.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: But wait a second. He is an oil analyst, and
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: he's saying this is unprecedented. Here's what I think is
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: going to happen. And by the way, look at Curry.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: He's another one of these oil analysts who happens to
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: agree with me, and I forget the other two that
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: he mentioned. So it's not, so you can't say.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 10: Well, I'm sure it's a whole industry.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 9: I mean, you've got an industry full of people that
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 9: hate Trump.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 10: I mean, no question.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 9: This is a globalist industry.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 4: But wait a second.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'm going to have an argument. I'm having an
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: argument with G2 folks. Tune in and listen. This could
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: be exciting. So, but these guys are saying, I don't know,
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: that's political. They're saying, listen, you're going to, our supply
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: tank bottom at these refineries is, you're hitting tank bottom
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: in July and August.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 6: This is a real problem. This is unprecedented.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: Here's what we think is going to happen with prices
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: and gasoline and inflation. Should we ignore it?
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 9: Well, one of the points that Art Berman made is, quote,
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 9: this is unprecedented, as you just said, right? Of course,
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 9: it's precedent as can be. I mean, we've had wars
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 9: that disrupted the flow of oil before. It's happened over
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 9: and over again. His next comment is, There will never
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 9: be a recovery. This isn't a quote. This is a concept.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 9: He says it'll never be the same. It'll never go back.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 10: The way it was. Well, OK, I agree with him.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 9: For completely different reasons. He's absolutely wrong. Yes, the industry
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 9: is not going to go back.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 10: To the way it was. And here's why.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 9: Because people solve problems. I said this the other day.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 9: You know, the Saudis are pumping that seven million barrels
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 9: the other way. There are pipelines on the boards right
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 9: now that are going to get built there to make
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 9: the Strait of Hormuz irrelevant or much less relevant soon.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 9: It won't take them long. They're not like California. If
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 9: they want to build a pipeline over there, they're going
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 9: to build a pipeline. So you've got tremendous resources available
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 9: to solve these problems. Now, you look at something like Venezuela.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 9: I think we are producing, and by we, I mean
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 9: there's a lot of U.S. help, I think, going into
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 9: Venezuela now. Their production is up 600,000 barrels a day, about,
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 9: and it's going to probably double. Yeah, the industry is
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 9: never going to be like it was. It's going to
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 9: be better. So Art Berman's doom and gloom, you know,
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 9: it just gets in the way of a real discussion. Now,
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 9: do you remember when I said we have to separate
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 9: supply from price? Because some folks are going to run
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 9: out of a lot of things, and some folks are
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 9: going to run out of a few things, and some.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 10: Things are going to have what they need. In the U.S.,
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 10: we import a lot of oil, as you said.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 9: We import a lot of heavy oil, as you said.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 9: Seventy percent of our imports come from Mexico and Canada.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 9: The Canadian imports can't even go anywhere else. I don't
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 9: think there's a way to get them to the port.
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 9: I guess I'd have to go back and look again.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 9: So we are not going to lose access to our
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 9: imports from Canada and Mexico. That's, again, 70 percent of
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 9: what we import. A lot of what we import, we
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 9: process and export.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 10: So, you know, for example, the Venezuela volume, which is.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 9: Climbing all the time. We're getting more and more out
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 9: of Venezuela. That is coming into..
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: Well, hold that thought. You hear the music. Hang on.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 7: Back with G2. And more arguments straight ahead. 570 WKBN.
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: Back with G2 News Radio 570 WKBN. All right, go ahead.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 9: So, if you look at, again, where our oil is
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 9: coming from, 70% or so is coming from Canada and Mexico.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 9: We bring some of that in, process it, and send
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 9: it back. In fact, Canada and Mexico are also our
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 9: top destinations for petroleum products. So that's including crude oil,
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 9: not just crude oil. Our crude oil goes all over
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 9: the world. But 70% of our material comes in from there,
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 9: about 7% from Saudi, about, I don't know, 4% from Iraq.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 9: And we even get some from Colombia, which is sort
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 9: of interesting. I don't know if that's, you know, they
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 9: cut it with a little coat to make your car
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 9: run better.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: Or you don't care how it runs after you get
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: in it.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 17: Right, right.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 9: So we're importing, we're exporting like we do with beef
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 9: and every other product, right? But there aren't a lot
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 9: of scenarios where we're going to have widespread unavailability because
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 9: we are producing more all than ever. We've got great
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 9: access to all we're importing. There are some we need
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 9: to bring out of the Middle East. Again, Saudi Arabia
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 9: is shipping. One of our suppliers is shipping out of
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 9: their pipeline that goes now from, instead of going over
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 9: to the Persian Gulf, it goes over towards the Red Sea.
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 9: So the whole industry is realigning. You're seeing increased production
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 9: and projects going on right now to expand production in
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 9: everybody outside of the Persian Gulf. In northern Iraq, in Erbil,
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 9: there's a really significant oil field, and some of the
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 9: developers in there are actually American companies, believe it or not.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 9: It's run by The Kurds, it's a Kurdish area, and
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 9: then they're all sort of playing tug-of-war with the Iraqis.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 9: But the Kurds run it, and the investments have been robust,
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 9: and they're increasing production there.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 10: So I'm just saying people solve problems.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 9: These problems are going to get solved. We are looking
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 9: at a period where there are going to be shortages
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 9: of some material in some places. I think China's in
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 9: dire straits. I suspect the United States and other countries
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 9: will do what they can to get oil to China.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 9: But as I said before, I view that pressure that
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 9: China is under as a very, very good thing. If
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 9: you remember back at the beginning of this, the commentary
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 9: was that there was 100 to 120 days of supply
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 9: available in China. But as we know, inventory management isn't perfect.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 9: So they might have 188 days of one thing and
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 9: 60 days of another. So we don't know the details
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 9: of exactly where in China there's a problem. They've had
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 9: really big reserves. They've been drawing those down. That's been
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 9: helping them make it through. But if you think it's
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 9: going to take 30 to 45 days to restart supply,
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 9: they have to get something pumping now. They can't wait
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 9: until they run out to start the ships getting loaded
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 9: because it's going to take 30 days or so to
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 9: get loaded and sail to China. So there's a huge
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 9: amount of global pressure on Iran. I've said this before. Now,
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 9: I don't know exactly, no one knows exactly where these
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 9: pressures are going to come. I do know that if
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 9: you're going to redirect commodities out of their natural home,
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 9: it's going to cost. So, you know, the need to
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 9: blend and all that stuff is all correct, but our
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 9: supply chain is in pretty good shape. We will have
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 9: some operations that will run out of some material or
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 9: will run down enough. They don't actually get to the
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 9: bottom of the tank, right? They just get low because
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 9: you have to keep some in the process just to
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 9: keep your equipment working and whatnot. You have to have
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 9: some in the system. But we'll be facing some potential
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 9: shortages that could shut down some operations. This thing with
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 9: processing chips, computer chips, is a real issue. There's no question.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 9: This straight-up Hormuz thing has to get fixed.
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: The negating work being done is.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 2: Fantastic, but this has to get fixed.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: So if this drags on, do you anticipate oil prices
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: going up, a barrel of oil, and gasoline prices going up?
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 10: I think they probably will go up. I don't think
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 10: we know how much.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 9: They say it's going to go up to $ 160 or
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 9: $ 200 or $ 300.
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: No, they didn't say $ 200 or $ 300. In their defense,
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: they're saying this is unprecedented. Here's what we think could happen.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: It could go to $ 180 but drop down to $ 160
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: because demand will fall off if it goes to $ 180.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: Stand by. Stand by. Back with G2. And we'll continue
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: our discussion with G2 from the bunker. Then only General
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: Johnson Jameson knows the correct location.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 6: News Radio 570 WKVN.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: Back to it. News Radio 570 WKVN and Ron Verb. And, well,
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: we shall see. Time will tell. I mean, I'll defend
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: the guys by saying they're saying this is unprecedented. Where
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: was it? Curry was the other guy. Berman was one.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 1: Like I say, there's two other ones that they say
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: are up there. I haven't even got around to those guys.
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: But we shall see. I think if this thing drags
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: on and it appears it's dragging on, it's not coming
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: to an end anytime soon, then these pipelines aren't built.
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: And if we're at tank bottom and refineries and what
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: have you, I think we have more serious problems.
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 9: Than– I think there's going to be– if this doesn't
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 9: get solved, we'll have a difficult stretch. I don't really
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 9: think this is unprecedented. I think we stopped exporting oil
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 9: from the United States something like 1977 or something like
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 9: that and didn't really resume until 2015 or so.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: Well, let me back up. They say unprecedented because you've
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: got a problem as far as the freight is concerned.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: You've got a problem as far as shipping is concerned.
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: Once the ships get out of there, if they have
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: any desire to return to that area at all– You
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: have multiple problems, as they explain. You have an insurance
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: problem with Lloyd's of London. You have a shipping problem
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: with ships that have been sitting and whether or not
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: they want to return to that. You have tank bottoms
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: in many countries and getting oil to them and the
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 1: demand that that will create. You have tank bottoms in
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: the United States of America. The pipelines that you're referring to,
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: many of them aren't in existence and they need to
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 1: be built. And you still have a lack of..
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 10: Well, I'm not saying they'll build more. I mean, we..
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, but..
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 9: But they're not..
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: Right, but they're not built now.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: Is what these guys are saying.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 9: But you've got millions of barrels moving through existing pipelines
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 9: that weren't before.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: Right, but you still have a shortage.
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 9: You've got increases in production in Brazil.
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: And Venezuela and..
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 2: All these guys are..
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: All these guys are saying you've still got a 20 million...
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: barrel shortage. But that's not true. To them, it is.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that's not true.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 6: That's a falsehood. They disagree with you. It doesn't mean
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 6: it isn't true.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 17: Yeah, but they're lying.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: They see it differently.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 9: The entire flow through the Strait of Hormuz was about
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 9: 21 million barrels. Between the Saudis and UAE, you've mitigated
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 9: a bunch of that.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: Well, then I don't understand. If everything is you say it,
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: why are gas prices high? Why are oil prices high?
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 2: Because..
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 9: Let me explain.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, in all reality, the argument doesn't make it
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: because they're talking about things going up again because of
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: what's happening in Australia. These guys are saying if this
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't get resolved very quickly here, it's going to get
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: a hell of a lot worse. Oil supply, oil prices
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 1: and gas prices. Do you agree or disagree with that?
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 9: What I'm telling you is these people are pounding the
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 9: drums of doom every day. I don't see any bright
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 9: lights in their forecast at all. They hate Trump, at
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 9: least this Berman guy. This is a political presentation from him,
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 9: not an industry presentation. There is no question that if
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 9: we don't get this, say, an expert I talked to
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 9: today said we're about 10 million barrels short right now.
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 9: That's a little less than 10% of our daily supply,
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 9: so it's a big number. So, you know, that's a problem,
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 9: and we have to get it flowing again. I'm absolutely
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 9: saying that there will continue to be increased prices, and
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 9: there's going to be stress. A lot of this shortfall
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 9: has been made up with new production, or some of it.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 9: some of it with redirection and some of it with
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 9: drawing down existing inventories. So, you know, it's a mixed solution.
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 9: And I absolutely agree with you that this war has
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 9: to get solved and we have to get back to normal.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: And would you not agree that if this continues on,
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: That we will have inflation and higher energy prices. And
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: potentially big problems in the midterms.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 9: Well, we're going to have big problems in the midterms
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 9: if Trump doesn't get things turned around in a bunch
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 9: of ways. It's not just the price of gasoline. He's
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 9: got a lot of problems. And I know he's working
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 9: a lot of things. He's got a lot of issues going.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 9: The number of battles he's got to wage..
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 10: Is significant.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 9: And then you've got a large percentage, especially in 1839s,
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 9: that think he simply sold out to Israel, that he
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 9: is completely captured. And they aren't, they aren't going to,
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 9: it's going to take a bit of convincing to get
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 9: them to think that anybody in the Trump administration is
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 9: their friend again. These are people who voted for Trump.
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 9: And then you've got this idiot Thune, this traitor, John Thune,
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 9: who is fighting america every day every single day he
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 9: goes to work it says how can i defeat the
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 9: united states of america he is a traitor he refuses
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 9: to do the job he continues to hide behind senate
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 9: rules we've talked about this for months and he can't
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 9: be dislodged.
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 10: Because the senate is uh..
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 9: This disaster of a deliberative body so the midterms are
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 9: certainly impacted by the war but have other issues as
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 9: well that must be dealt with Mark Levin out there
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 9: calling for endless war isn't helping because everybody knows that
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 9: he speaks to Netanyahu and for Netanyahu. So Levin comes
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 9: out yesterday and says, let's just go back into bombing Iran.
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 9: Let's take two or three weeks and bomb everything.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: And I know this is a.
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 10: Theme on the show.
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 9: I've listened to some calls in the last week, and
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 9: a lot of people are saying, let's nuke them, as
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 9: you said. They're saying, let's bomb them. Listen, we bombed
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 9: 13,000 targets yesterday. The Israelis bombed something in the neighborhood
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 9: of 3,000 targets. At what point do you think we're
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 9: going to be less effective with the bombing? Or are
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 9: you prepared now to start wiping out the Iranian people,
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 9: to start taking out their power supply and their water supply?
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 9: Do you think that they are going to counterattack? Because
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 9: they still have a lot of short-term missiles. They have
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 9: a significantly depleted ability to fight in a lot of ways.
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 9: But they still have missiles and drones. And they can
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 9: do some damage in the surrounding Gulf Coast countries with
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 9: those weapons. So I understand where Fox News is getting
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 9: its narrative. It's exceedingly obvious who tells them what to say.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 9: I understand where Mark Levin gets his narrative. I know
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 9: exactly who he's the spokesman for. And I understand what
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 9: they're doing in Lebanon and that they do not want
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 9: that to stop. And you'll notice that every time Levin
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 9: talks about destroying Iran, he will keep going in Lebanon.
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 9: And Netanyahu keeps saying, we're going to keep going in Lebanon.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 9: There are still a lot of Christians to kill in Lebanon.
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 10: They're not done yet.
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 6: They've killed a lot.
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 9: They've destroyed a lot of villages. They've destroyed a lot
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 9: of churches. But they've got a lot of Christians left
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 9: to kill in Lebanon. They're not going to stop until
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 9: they're done. So you have a third party in this
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 9: war who desperately wants it to continue and will do
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 9: anything to make it continue.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 1: Even at the detriment of the United States.
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 9: They couldn't care less what happens in the United States.
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 9: It's simply the mothership that feeds it.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: And when I say the detriment of the United States,
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: I'll talk about affordability detriment in that sense. For the
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: average person, high inflation, high energy costs, an absolute nightmare.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 4: That is not their issue.
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 9: They couldn't possibly care less. They could try, and they
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 9: would fail. They can't care less.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: Well, I think..
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 5: Go ahead.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 9: So you've got this problem where, especially after the Massey thing,
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 9: these guys have a tremendous amount of control in the
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 9: United States. And anybody that says, well, that's not true,
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 9: I understand where you're coming from.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 9: You know, it's been decades and decades of having this
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 9: pounded into our heads. But the reality is they have
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 9: tremendous control. And this Massey story, I don't know that
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 9: we went into it in deep enough detail, but... You know,
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 9: there was a clear message that came out of that,
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 9: which is that you shall not stand up to us
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 9: because we have unlimited resources to crush you.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 17: By the way, we give.
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 9: Them those resources. And they earn them in the businesses,
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 9: you know, about TikTok and CBS. Those will be generating
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 9: cash flow soon.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: So, well, you know, CBS is finished because they got
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: rid of Scott Belly.
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 9: That guy, his interviews were fascinating. The arrogance, the self-absorption,
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 9: the belief.
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: That he's... Did you see that graduation speech he got? Oh, my,
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: he gave at that one college.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 10: Oh, it was horrible.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 9: Acting as if he's this special character. I mean, just bizarre.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 9: I think these people in these media companies view themselves
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 9: as superheroes.
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 10: He's a hack.
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 9: He hasn't done a good report in his career, you know,
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 9: but in his mind..
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 10: So, and somebody made the point the other day.
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 9: That these media people give themselves awards all the time.
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 9: They just keep congratulating each other and giving each other awards.
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 9: Once you get a job as a network anchor or
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 9: a big player to network, you just keep getting awards
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 9: from the other guys that are big network people. It's
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 9: a ridiculous community. By the way, who have shed huge
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 9: amounts of audience because of the quality of their work,
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 9: who have lost billions of dollars because of the quality
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 9: of their work, that doesn't affect them at all. I
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 9: haven't watched 60 Minutes. I don't remember. the last time
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 9: I would have watched that show. I mean, it became
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 9: a joke decades ago. So this situation we're in is
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 9: incredibly complex. These midterms are definitely at risk. I have
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 9: friends who tell me that there is no fracture in
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 9: the Trump coalition. I'm telling you that is absolutely not true.
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 9: This multi-generational fracture, you know, the Gen Z, Millennial, and X,
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 9: that's really, but just that multi-generational break, But the break.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 2: Over Israel, the break over Iran, the break over the price.
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 9: Of gasoline, you know, and many people still saying I
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 9: trust Trump no matter what.
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 2: Fine.
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 9: But but this coalition that put MAGA together or this
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 9: MAGA coalition, American First Coalition, that hired Trump to fix
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 9: this country. has large components that are extremely angry, and
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 9: they aren't.
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 10: Quiet about it.
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 1: But let me ask you this. Let me ask you this.
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: They're not quiet about it, and they might disagree, but
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: I have a hard time imagining that all of those
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: elements that you mentioned would say they're going to go
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 1: vote for Sherrod Brown. They're going to go vote for
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: some Democrat. I mean, there might be that disagreement, but
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think those elements have turned crazy to go
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 1: vote for a Democrat.
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 10: Oh, no, no, no.
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 9: They're not going to vote for either side. They're checking out.
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 1: Well, that's equally as harmful.
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 9: Well, maybe so, but you've got to wonder, you know,
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 9: they're always told, vote for me, I'm less crazy than
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 9: the other guy. They vote for the one that's less crazy,
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 9: and he turns out to be more crazy. They put
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 9: all this.
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 10: Work, years of work, into getting.
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 9: This America First administration done. It gets set up. It's implemented.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 10: The Republicans in Congress fight a tooth and nail.
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 9: Trump appears to many people to have turned on them.
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 9: He is not focused on things like our domestic energy costs.
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 9: He's buying into the H-1B visas. He's bringing in half
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 9: a million Chinese students. He's doing all the things that
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 9: these people do not want. No, they're not going to
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 9: go vote for a Democrat, but they see absolutely no
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 9: value in voting for a Republican. So they're not coming
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 9: to the polls. They're taking door number three. So in
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 9: order to win in this country, we have to reassemble
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 9: that coalition. And the Democrats are horribly unpopular. These people
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 9: hate the Democrats. Everybody hates the Democrats except the Democrats.
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 9: I mean, they're really down to the 30s. But they're
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 9: 30 percenters. Those people will vote like rabid dogs. They're crazy.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 9: They vote exactly as they're told. They think what they're told.
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 9: They do what they're told.
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're really like drones.
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 9: They are going to vote for the most radical candidate
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 9: they can find. If anyone who promises to destroy the
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 9: nation for its own good, they're voting for. So the
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 9: 30s are there. The question is, what are the Republicans
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 9: doing during anybody's vote, and are they going to get
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 9: the turnout that they need to overcome the 30s? And then,
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 9: of course, you've got the fraud. I mean, they're going
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 9: to be counting, I suppose, for the November election, they'll
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 9: be counting in California until somewhere around 2029.
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 2: So..
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 9: You know, we are in a very difficult situation. And
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 9: these people, and it's huge numbers of 18 to 39s,
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 9: but it is also people that are, you know, 45,
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 9: up to 55, even some that are older, that are saying,
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 9: I'm out. It doesn't matter what I do. It doesn't
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 9: matter what I vote for. I vote for these people
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 9: who sing patriotic songs, and they turn around and they're
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 9: working for Davos. They're working for Mr.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 6: Global.
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 9: You know, it's... And then we get a guy like
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 9: Massey who goes after the kill switch. He goes after
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 9: the surveillance state. He goes to fight FISA 702. So
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 9: they say, hey, pal, you're out. Call them names and
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 9: kick them out.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 2: That should..
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 9: I'm telling you right now, what they did to reduce,
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 9: to eliminate Thomas Massey absolutely cost millions of voters. Millions
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 9: of voters were turned off by that. They watched that
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 9: and said, wait a minute.
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 10: I don't care about..
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 9: This guy's going after the Epstein files. He's going after the..
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 2: Kill switch.
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 9: He's going after 702. And you're saying that's the guy
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 9: you want to take out?
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 10: Not Dingell, not, you know, Duckworth.
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 9: You're going after Massey. The only guy, the guy that
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 9: has the best voting record in Congress, and I'm tired
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 9: of this debate about whether he votes with the Republicans
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 9: or not. It's a stupid debate. He votes with the
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 9: Republican voters. That's what he's done. And you can tell
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 9: because I don't care which conservative platform you look at
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 9: that analyzes his performance, he is at the very top
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 9: ranks of the voters who vote with the Republican people,
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 9: the Republican voters, the American people. That MAGA coalition, he
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 9: is literally on most rankings, number one.
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 2: So what do they do?
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 10: They take him out.
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 9: You know, we got a Congress full of worthless jerks.
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 9: They take out Massey. I'm telling you, that was a
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 9: devastating blow to the electorate, to the MAGA coalition, if
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 9: you will, the America First team.
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 10: Devastating blow.
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 9: So if it doesn't make a difference if John Thune's
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 9: in or Chuck Schumer's in, and it doesn't, obviously, then
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 9: why am I bothering? I know people that are actually conservatives.
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 9: I've heard this now from a handful of people. The
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 9: conservatives are saying, I'm voting Democrat from now on because
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 9: we might as well just burn this thing down. Let's
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 9: just destroy the country and get started over. We're going
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 9: to have to have a revolution to fix it. We're
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 9: not going to get it doing these haves, these moves.
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 10: Just take it down.
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 9: I've heard that from more than one person. And they're serious.
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 9: So this Republican Party is such a disaster. And by this,
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 9: I don't mean the Mahoney County Republican Party or some
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 9: of the people that are in it that are doing
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 9: great work. I can list a long list of names.
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 9: But this leadership, these people like Thune and Spender Johnson,
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 9: these traitors, the Collins people, all these people, McConnell, all
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 9: the ones like Mike Kelly in Erie, Pennsylvania, who flips
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 9: over to vote with the Democrats to keep, I think
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 9: it was, I think his one was.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 10: The kill switch.
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 9: You know, they assign a few of them to flip
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 9: over and vote with the Democrats to eliminate the things
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 9: that are desperately important to the American people. We are
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 9: in dire straits because the Republicans refuse to perform.
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 1: I think I saw where the– who's the woman in
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: Maine that's up for re-election?
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 10: Collins.
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's now in support of the voter ID stuff
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: that she's switched her– her thought on all of that.
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 1: But look, they're trying to get, they're trying to get
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 1: her out. The Democrats that accused everyone under the sun
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 1: who voted for Trump and Trump and everybody else would
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 1: be a Nazis are now defending one. They're defending a
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 1: guy that with the Nazi tattoo, they are defending a
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 1: guy that's on these strange websites and cheating on his wife.
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 1: And they're all out there saying, that's our guy. That's
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: who we support. Can I mean, talk about a bottom
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 1: of the barrel candidate.
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 10: Well, that's what I'm saying.
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 9: Nobody likes these Democrats. I mean, nobody looks at Gavin
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 9: Newsom and says, hey, great governor, right? Other than the 30s.
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 10: I get it.
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 9: The 30s, the Marxists, they do.
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 16: The dupes.
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 9: But rational people aren't looking at this Democrat Party and saying,
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 9: there's a platform I can get behind.
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 10: It's not there.
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 17: They hate them.
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 9: And so you now hear every single day the word
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 9: uniparty said more than Democrat or Republican. They cannot see
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 9: an aisle in Congress. They cannot see anyone fighting for
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 9: their side. And again, a guy like Massey, great voting record,
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 9: fighting on all the right issues, he's got to get
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 9: tossed out. And people have these long, passionate arguments about
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 9: why he was.
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 10: Such a barrier.
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 9: Listen, he was a barrier because he refused to vote
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 9: for things that Americans don't want. And the truth is,
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 9: if the Republican Party had just simply followed that America
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 9: First agenda, they would have loved Massey. It's because they
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 9: have abandoned the agenda that they've heard us hear. I'm
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 9: furious with them because I've talked to these people who are,
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 9: you know, 34, 38, 37, urban, suburban, rural. You know,
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 9: they're done. It's over for them. And by the way,
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 9: a lot of them think we're coming to a war.
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 9: They think we're going to have a shooting civil war.
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: Well, by not participating is... You are voting in a
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 1: sense by not voting because you're giving the advantage to
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 1: the charged-up Democrat side to put the lunatics back in charge.
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 1: That's the big mistake. And I understand people's anger and frustration,
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 1: particularly if the situation in Iran drags on, particularly if
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 1: inflation comes back and gas prices go up. I get it.
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 1: Stand by. Back with a few final moments with G2.
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: Guardians pregame coming up after the break at 6. And
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: then those Yankees are on the air with the guards.
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 7: Youngstown's News, Weather, and Talk Station, 570 WKBN.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: With Ron Verp, 555, with you till 6 tonight, so
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 1: G2 with some thoughts on it all. Well, we shall see.
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, if the people, I agree with you, many
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 1: of these people are very upset within the whole Republican
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 1: side of it, but if you don't go out and participate,
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: and the Democrats do go out and participate, It's not
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 1: a good thing. I was seeing the polling where they
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 1: show Sherrod Brown is ahead in the Senate race here
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 1: in Ohio. It's important for people to get out, whether
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 1: you're disenchanted or not, to get out and make a difference.
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 2: It really is.
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 9: And I still am not paying attention to the polls
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 9: right now because some of the polling that's going on
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 9: right now has got a problem. But most of the
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 9: polls are just fake, as you know. I mean, there
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 9: are a few that I looked at all through 21, 2, 3,
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 9: and 4 that were really, it turned out to be very.
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 2: Effective and useful.
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 9: But right now I'm trying to figure where it is.
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 9: But there's no question that if you look at the
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 9: generic ballot, the Democrats are up And then you add
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 9: in election fraud. That's a big hurdle to overcome. Do
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 9: you think Republicans have to get these people back? They
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 9: have to give them a reason to vote. And that
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 9: means Donald Trump has to be successful. And I think
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 9: he's got I think we're at the crescendo of the war.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 9: I mean, the war in Iran. I mean, the war
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 9: in the United States right now, the globalists and everybody
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 9: is trying to get control of the country. The Israelis,
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 9: the Indians, the Chinese communists, the globalists, everybody's right now
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 9: going full at. That's why you see John Boone. publicly
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 9: fighting us, right? He knows his side is at risk
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 9: right now. They either win or lose. So this has
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 9: to continue. But Trump, by July 4, has to start
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 9: rounding the curve. By mid-July, he's got to be sort
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 9: of on track and demonstrating that he is America's president,
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 9: that he's here for us, that he's implementing the American agenda.
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 9: And rather than go into war with people like Thomas Massey,
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 9: he's going to war with people like John Foon, who
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 9: are our bitter enemies who refuse to do their job.
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 1: We shall see, though. I mean, we shall see. I
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 1: don't know that I'm optimistic that I'll see that either.
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 1: I must confess.
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 9: I'm just alert. I'm neither optimistic nor pessimistic. It's war,
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 9: and it's intense.
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 1: We shall see, G2. All right. I mean, and we
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 1: shall see what happens as a result of this Apache
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 1: helicopter thing. All we can say is, how interesting is
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 1: that California election? Take a look at how that changed
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 1: overnight or over a week.
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 9: When the number three candidate wins the mail-in ballot count,
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 9: you know the mail-in ballot count is full of fraud.
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 1: Just how about that? Kristen Welker or whatever on Meet
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 1: the Press. She assumes she says the president, you have
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 1: no proof that the election is fixed or rigged. Trump
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 1: should have said, well, you have no proof that it's
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 1: on the up and up either, do you? You just
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 1: assume it is.
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 9: Well, and in fact, there are years of proof that
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 9: have been built up over time that is evident. And,
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 9: you know, For example, in mail-in ballots in Florida, there
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 9: was a survey done in 2020 that showed one in
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 9: five was fraudulent. Now, they changed their laws to address
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 9: that shortly thereafter. But it's not like Wisconsin doesn't have
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 9: fraudulent mail-in ballots, and certainly Colorado, Oregon, Washington, and California
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 9: are managed by fake mail-in ballots.
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 9: And these machines, you know, even now, the federal government
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 9: intelligence community is admitting these machines could be manipulated.
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 1: You've got to pause. Thank you, G2. Stay tuned. The
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 1: Guardians are coming up next.
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 4: From ABC News, I'm Wayne Cabot. One hour ago, the U.S.
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 4: began launching strikes against Iran. Explosions reported in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm,
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 4: and Tariq.
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 6: U.S.
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 4: Central Command saying the mission is a proportional response to
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 4: unjustified Iranian aggression. That the attacks are at the discretion
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 4: and the direction of the commander-in-chief. And Iran just now
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 4: saying it will respond to this. President Trump accusing Iran
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 4: of downing a U.S. Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz.
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 4: About that, ABC's Louis Martinez.
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 6: What we have learned from U.S.
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 13: Officials is that a drone was involved. In other words,
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 13: an Iranian drone brought down... of this Apache helicopter with
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 13: a crew of two aboard. Now, what we are hearing
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 13: from one U.S. official is that it is unclear whether
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 13: there was an intent to actually bring down the drone
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 13: because the type of drone that was involved was one
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 13: that is typically involved in the attacks on shipping in
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 13: the Strait of Hormuz.
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 4: Now the voters will have their say. Primaries in four
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 4: states today underway, and folks in Maine will decide whether
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 4: to look past the controversies of Graham Plattner and make
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 4: him the Democratic state nominee in the Senate. A bear
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 4: attack in a popular California mountain community.
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 20: Mammoth police say they got a call at around 6
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 20: in the morning on Monday of a bear attack. When
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 20: they arrived on scene, they found a man and woman
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 20: badly hurt along with their dogs. They learned a woman
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 20: heard her dogs barking and saw a black bear fighting
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 20: one of her dogs outside their home. As she tried
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 20: to stop the bear and dog fight, the bear turned
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 20: on her, biting and clawing her. The man came outside
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 20: with a hatchet and used a blunt end of it
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 20: to strike the bear, critically injuring it and stopping the attack.
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 20: The couple had significant injuries and the bear was found
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 20: badly injured and was euthanized. Alex Stone, ABC News.

  Speaker 15: Good evening, everyone.
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 21: Welcome to the Bet365 Guardians warm-up show. Tonight, from Progressive
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 21: Field in downtown Cleveland, it's the Guardians and the New
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 21: York Yankees. This is game two of a three-game series.
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 21: Jim Rosenhouse along with you. About a half hour prior
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 21: to tonight's first pitch, Guardians and Yankees played... A 10-inning
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 21: thriller last night won by New York 7-5. As a result,
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 21: the Guardians now still in first place in the AL Central.
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 21: Their lead over the White Sox just a game and
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 21: a half heading into play tonight. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay and
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 21: the Yankees are in a virtual tie atop the American
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 21: League East. Percentage points separating the two with Tampa Bay
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 21: in that virtual top spot.
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 6: Stay with us. We'll have more to come after this.
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 22: That's really the essence of what the Cleveland Guardians Charities does,
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 22: is helps baseball and softball kids in the Cleveland Metropolitan
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 22: School District do that.
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 6: A ton of great things going tonight.
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 21: But earlier today, you were with CeCe Sabathia at his field,
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 21: which is awesome. And he played the game a little bit.
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 21: What's it like watching kids spend a day with CeCe,
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 21: just from your perspective?
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 22: Well, I've gotten to know CeCe probably over the last
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 22: five years. And so it's just really cool. It's actually
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 22: cool for him. As you know, CeCe doesn't even live
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 22: here anymore. And so he literally just comes back to
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 22: Cleveland to do this camp. Every kid out there is
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 22: wearing a number 52 jersey, which is really cool and
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 22: surreal and really, really cool for him. You know, even
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 22: talking to him today, he was just talking about how
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 22: he feels like he grew up here. I mean, he
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 22: came here as a kid, came to Cleveland as a kid,
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 22: and then left as a man. And so for him
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 22: to be able to give... you know, backed a free
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 22: baseball camp and softball camp like to these kids is
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 22: really special. And like I said, we're all about giving
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 22: back to the community and all about giving back to
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 22: the kids. And so just to even be a part
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 22: of that and be a sponsor of that and helping
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 22: them out is cool and special.
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 6: Stay with us. We'll have more with Matt Collick after
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 6: this short break.
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 3: Here's the Bet365 Minute, where winning is everything, with Scott Davidson.
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 23: Let's check out the numbers tonight. The Yankees, the favorite
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 23: in Game 2. They're minus $ 1. 20, totals 8.5. And off
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 23: another winner last night on the Phillies, got a pitching
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 23: prop I really like tonight, and it's going to be
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 23: Chase Burns of the Reds to go over 17.5 outs,
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 23: and here's why. This one's based on how bad the Reds'
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 23: bullpen is. I don't see how they can take Chase
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 23: Burns out. He's been their best pitcher all year long.
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 23: He should have a big leash tonight of at least
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 23: 95 pitches and has thrown six-plus innings in six of
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 23: his seven starts. And get this, right-handed batters have a
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 23: 143 average against him.
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 6: The Padres should have at least six of those in
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 6: the lineup.
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 23: I go Chase Burns over 17.5 pitching outs my play
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 23: of the day.

• 2:13:16
  Speaker 21: It's Guardians Warm Up. Matt Collins joining us, part of
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 21: the 8th Annual Cleveland Guardians Charities Give-A-Thon Night here at
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 21: the ballpark. Guardians and Yankees coming up shortly. And Matt,
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 21: Youth baseball, obviously a big part of this and a beneficiary.
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 21: Collin Company is hosting a 16U baseball tournament. Fill us
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 21: in on that and how that works.
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 6: Well, we have a team.
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 22: So with the Cleveland Guardians Charities, with the RBI program,
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 22: we've got six teams. And so Collin Company, we are
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 22: essentially a sponsor of the 16U team. So, I mean,
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 22: it's going to be great to get to know these kids.
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 22: get to be, you know, we're on their uniform. I mean,
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 22: we're the sponsor. And so, I don't know, it's cool
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 22: for me. I mean, I own a NASCAR team as well,
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 22: and to have, you know, your name on the cars
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 22: and everything else, but to have our name on a team,
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 22: and these kids are good. So, it'll be fun to watch.
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 22: And so, it's a different way to be supportive. I mean,
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 22: we give a lot back to Cleveland Guardians Charities and
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 22: even the RBI program, but to actually have our own
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 22: team that we can root for that when they go
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 22: out and win, we can actually say, Hey, we won, uh,
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 22: is really cool. So I'm, I'm looking forward to getting
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 22: to know the kids, uh, on a better, you know,
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 22: more intimate level and some of the parents, uh, you know,
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 22: these kids.
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 21: And the, the big key to any give a thought
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 21: night is a fast start. And, uh, we're recording this, uh,
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 21: before first pitch time, but I know prior to that, uh,
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 21: you have a special announcement before the game even begins.
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 22: Yeah, I get to be, you know, I call it
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 22: like there's, there's gotta be a lead off batter, right?
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 22: So we're leading off the give-a-thon by with colleague companies
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 22: and colleague giving, we're giving $ 50, 000 to Cleveland guardians charities.
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 22: And that's how we're kicking off the night. I mean, we,
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 22: Over the last eight years, we've raised a million dollars
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 22: for the kids here in Cleveland. And so, again, tonight
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 22: we're giving $ 50, 000 and leading this whole thing off and
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 22: getting it started. And we hope to raise a whole
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 22: lot of money for these kids tonight.
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 6: So you're the Travis Bazzana of the Give-A-Thon.
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 4: Yes, I am.
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 22: That's how we're rolling.
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 6: Great stuff, Matt. Great to see you. And have a
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 6: wonderful night.
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 10: Thanks, man.

• 2:15:37
  Speaker 21: a great partner with the Guardians and the 8th annual
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 21: Cleveland Guardians Charities Give-A-Thon.
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 6: Stay tuned. More to come after this.
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 24: Okay, I have to tell you. I was just looking
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 24: on eBay where I go for all kinds of things
• 2:15:50
  Speaker 24: I love.
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 6: And there it was. That hologram trading card. One of
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 6: the rarest. The last one I needed for my set.
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 6: Shiny like this.
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 24: Designer handbag of my dreams.
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 1: One of a kind.
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 24: eBay had it, and now everyone's asking.
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 9: Ooh.
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 10: Where'd you get your..
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 6: Windshield wipers. eBay has all the parts that fit my car.
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 6: No more annoying... Just beautiful.
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 24: Millions of finds, each with a story.

  Speaker 2: eBay.

  Speaker 24: And it looks like Chuck has selected Pepper the Corgi.
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 6: Bold pick there, Debra.
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 24: Yeah, Rich, Pepper has a high ceiling for sure, but
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 24: he does have a tendency to bark at every tree.
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 25: Yeah, he brings a lot to the table, but also
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 25: takes a lot off of it, especially when it's been
• 2:16:32
  Speaker 25: left near the edge.
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 24: Nothing left to do now but suit him up for
• 2:16:35

  Speaker 1: Welcome.
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 21: Back to the Bet365 Guardians Warm-Up Show. Let's check in
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 21: with our friends at WKYC for our pregame weather forecast.
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 21: It's presented by Window World.
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 28: We'll see a chance for an isolated shower or rumble
• 2:18:03
  Speaker 28: through the evening and overnight. We'll stay very muggy with
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 28: temperatures only back into the 70s. Hot and humid again
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 28: for your Wednesday upper 80s to near 90. We'll have
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 28: some dry time, but we'll also keep a chance for
• 2:18:14
  Speaker 28: an isolated shower or storm in that forecast. In the
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 28: 3 News Weather Center, I'm meteorologist Jessica Van Meter.
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 6: That's the story here downtown.
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 21: When we come back, Tom Hamilton checks in with manager
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 21: Stephen Boat. It's the Key Bank Manager Show, and it
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 21: comes your way next on the Cleveland Clinic Radio Network.
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 15: To you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 6: Hi again, everybody. With Klingler manager Stephen Vogt, this is
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 6: Tom Hamilton. Welcome to the Manager's Show brought.
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 1: To you by KeyBank.
• 2:18:49
  Speaker 6: It was June 8th yesterday. You and Aaron Boone didn't
• 2:18:52
  Speaker 6: manage that game like it was June 8th.
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 29: That was a great game. I mean, obviously we ended
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 29: up on the losing end, but what a fun game.
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 29: Back and forth, good pitching, good hitting, good defense, a
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 29: lot of moves. I think almost everybody used almost everybody
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 29: on their roster last night. It definitely had a playoff feel,
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 29: and I think you're going to get that with these
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 29: two teams.
• 2:19:11
  Speaker 6: I mean, we felt it in New York.
• 2:19:13
  Speaker 29: There's definitely, I don't like to throw out the word rivalry,
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 29: but we know who we're playing and they know who
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 29: they're playing. And these are really important games, just like
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 29: every game.
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 6: Do games like that, not that you're not into every
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 6: ball game, but do you find yourself like you're even more,
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 6: I don't want to say involved, but it's even more intense?
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 29: I think what it is, is that we know them
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 29: really well and they know us and we just played five,
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 29: three days ago, whatever it was. And I think what
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 29: happens is you have to follow the game.
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 1: You have to think the game.
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 6: Somebody told me you don't watch the game as a manager.
• 2:19:48
  Speaker 6: You think the game. And you kind of know when.
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 29: You need to take chances, which of their pitchers are
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 29: you going to be able to get to, and you've
• 2:19:56
  Speaker 29: got to know when to go, when to not go.
• 2:19:58
  Speaker 29: And we're always talking about those things throughout. But you're
• 2:20:00
  Speaker 29: definitely paying attention very closely in these one-run games.
• 2:20:04
  Speaker 1: Well, it's interesting.
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 6: You were taught to think the game, not watch the game.
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 6: Is it hard not to watch the game sometimes?
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah.
• 2:20:13
  Speaker 29: Sometimes you actually can watch the game. You can sit back,
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 29: but not very often.
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 1: Here in Cleveland. We're usually playing pretty close games.
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 29: But it was very difficult for me early in 24
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 29: when I was first starting.
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 2: To do this.
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 29: But now I find myself, you know, I'm not paying
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 29: attention to what pitches we're throwing. I'm not paying attention to,
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 29: you know, anything else other than, okay, what's the result
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 29: of the play? What's the next move? If this happens,
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 29: what are we going to do if that happens? And
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 29: it really helps to hopefully not get caught off guard.
• 2:20:39
  Speaker 6: Again, it's one game, but you invested a lot. So
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 6: did the Yankees. Those are the harder games to lose.
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 29: Yeah, when you use all of your leverage guys and
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 29: you end up losing the game, it's an expensive loss,
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 29: as we like to say. But the good part is
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 29: that we haven't used our leverage guys a ton leading
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 29: up to last night.
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 1: So everybody's available. Everybody's ready to go tonight.
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 6: All right, Slade Ciccone just saw the New York Yankees. Obviously,
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 6: they just saw him. And we saw Garrett Cole. Again,
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 6: we kind of talked about this last night with Gavin Williams,
• 2:21:09
  Speaker 6: and it looked like New York had made some adjustments.
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 6: What's the game plan tonight for Slade and your game
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 6: plan going against Garrett Cole?
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 29: Well, the good part is our guys saw his repertoire
• 2:21:20
  Speaker 29: five days ago, and same thing for Slade. He and
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 29: Hedgie navigated them beautifully five days ago, and hopefully they
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 29: do that again today, but really, you don't change your
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 29: game plan a whole lot because it worked, and yeah,
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 29: you might sequence a little differently, and Gavin wasn't as
• 2:21:35
  Speaker 29: sharp as yesterday, and they made him.
• 2:21:37
  Speaker 1: Pay for it at times. So hopefully Slade gives us
• 2:21:40
  Speaker 1: a chance to win tonight.
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 6: Voter, when you look at these two ball clubs, obviously
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 6: there's a vast difference in the Yankee power. But right
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 6: now you're able to match up with them in the bullpen.
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 6: You've been able to match up with them starting rotation.
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 6: You're both very athletic. I don't think people would expect
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 6: you two ball clubs to both lead the league in
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 6: stolen bases. Where do you find your edge to beat them?
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 29: We just have to take care of the ball. I
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 29: thought we gifted them some free bases last night. We
• 2:22:10
  Speaker 29: gave them a couple extra 90 feet that we shouldn't have.
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 29: You can't take it back. You wish you could. For us,
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 29: we just need to worry about us. We need to
• 2:22:19
  Speaker 29: worry about playing clean baseball. We need to worry about
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 29: moving runners. We need to take care of the things
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 29: that are within our control. That goes for any team,
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 29: let alone the Yankees. Again, it's been really fun to
• 2:22:29
  Speaker 29: watch these two teams go at it for the last
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 29: four games and Here we go. Let's get it again tonight.
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 6: Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt, Tom Hamilton inviting you to stay tuned.
• 2:22:39
  Speaker 6: Cleveland and the Yankees next on the Cleveland Clinic Radio Network.
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 21: Welcome back to the Bet365. Guardians warm-up show. The Guardians
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 21: and Yankees getting ready. for game two of this three-game series.
• 2:22:57
  Speaker 21: Time now for the pitching matchup. Veteran right-hander Garrett Cole
• 2:23:01
  Speaker 21: back on the mound for New York. He's 1-1 after
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 21: three starts and earned run average of 2.00. Season started
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 21: late as he continued his recovery from Tommy John surgery.
• 2:23:12
  Speaker 21: The Guardians pinned that only loss of the season for
• 2:23:15
  Speaker 21: Cole on him in his last start at Yankee Stadium
• 2:23:18
  Speaker 21: last Wednesday. For the Guardians, it's right-hander Slade Ciccone. On
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 21: the season, Ciccone is 3-5 with an earned run average
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 21: of 4.92. Threw the ball well last Thursday in New York,
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 21: and he's looking to get back on the winning track.
• 2:23:33
  Speaker 21: Assistant pitching coach Joe Torres says Ciccone dives in to
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 21: every available avenue to get better start to start.
• 2:23:43
  Speaker 30: Yeah, Slade is hyper-aware of everything around him, whether it's physical,
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 30: the analytics, his delivery. So he has a lot of questions,
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 30: and he does want to work through things, and it's
• 2:23:54
  Speaker 30: important to him to kind of build routines that support
• 2:23:57
  Speaker 30: him and give him preparation for these games. So he
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 30: does go to every domain using his whoop.
• 2:24:02
  Speaker 6: For instance.
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 30: He tracks his heart rate, right, and how that affects
• 2:24:05
  Speaker 30: him and where he can recognize in-game, like, am I
• 2:24:09
  Speaker 30: getting too high, too low, and what that means for him,
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 30: and be able to use our our S & C staff,
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 30: our medical staff, to help him navigate and understand those things, right?
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 30: So there's little things like that that he does, but
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 30: with us, he's hyper-aware, he knows stuff models, he understands
• 2:24:25
  Speaker 30: his grades, where it's all at, so we have really,
• 2:24:27
  Speaker 30: really in-depth conversations with him. But with all that, keeping
• 2:24:31
  Speaker 30: it simple is really the main thing, and it's number one,
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 30: is just find repeatable delivery where he is consistent, and
• 2:24:38
  Speaker 30: that's actually where we've seen a lot of success with
• 2:24:39
  Speaker 30: him this year.
• 2:24:40
  Speaker 21: So it's Ciccone against Cole. The Guardians and Yankees at
• 2:24:43
  Speaker 21: it again after last night's 10-inning thriller. That's your pitching matchup,
• 2:24:48
  Speaker 21: and that'll do it for Guardians Warm-Up.
• 2:24:50
  Speaker 4: Stay tuned.
• 2:24:51
  Speaker 6: Starting lineups and the first pitch, they come your way next.
• 2:24:56

  Speaker 1: that actually matter. Tomorrow afternoon at 3 on 570 WKBN.
• 2:31:17
  Speaker 6: From Progressive Field in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, it is game
• 2:31:23
  Speaker 6: number 69. Tonight. The Cleveland Guardians and the New York
• 2:31:28
  Speaker 6: Yankees play in the second game of this three-game series
• 2:31:33
  Speaker 6: and the fifth game of the season series as these
• 2:31:39
  Speaker 6: two ball clubs are knocking out this season series in
• 2:31:43
  Speaker 6: a week and a half having played three games last
• 2:31:46
  Speaker 6: week in the Bronx in which Cleveland took two out
• 2:31:50
  Speaker 6: of three and now playing three games here on the
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 6: shores of Lake Erie. Yankees winning a wild one last
• 2:31:58
  Speaker 6: night in extra innings. Hi again, everybody. This is Tom
• 2:32:02
  Speaker 6: Hamilton along with Jim Rosenhaus and Brian Motze. It's an
• 2:32:06
  Speaker 6: overcast night on the lakefront, but the rain has stayed away.
• 2:32:11
  Speaker 6: It is going to be warm. It is going to
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 6: be humid. We have a light breeze blowing out toward right,
• 2:32:17
  Speaker 6: and as we all know, That makes this ballpark play
• 2:32:21
  Speaker 6: a whole lot smaller than, say, in April and May
• 2:32:25
  Speaker 6: when the winds are blowing off the frigid Lake Erie.
• 2:32:29
  Speaker 6: Lineup cards are being exchanged with Jacob Metz, the home
• 2:32:32
  Speaker 6: plate umpire tonight, Mark Wagner, the crew chief at first,
• 2:32:36
  Speaker 6: Bruce Dreckman at second, and Nate Tomlinson at second. the
• 2:32:40
  Speaker 6: third base umpire. Cleveland comes in with a record of
• 2:32:44
  Speaker 6: 37 and 31. Cleveland still on top in the American
• 2:32:48
  Speaker 6: League Central, but their lead now down to a game
• 2:32:51
  Speaker 6: and a half over the White Sox, and they have
• 2:32:55
  Speaker 6: the same number of losses. Cleveland simply has three more wins.
• 2:33:01
  Speaker 6: On the other hand, New York tied for the top
• 2:33:03
  Speaker 6: spot in the East with Tampa Bay. as the Yankees
• 2:33:07
  Speaker 6: with a record of 39-26. Tampa Bay and New York
• 2:33:12
  Speaker 6: now have an eight-game bulge over the Toronto Blue Jays
• 2:33:18
  Speaker 6: as the Blue Jays, Baltimore, and Boston. None of those
• 2:33:23
  Speaker 6: three teams even at the 500 mark, all well below
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 6: the 500 mark. Guardians take the field in their home
• 2:33:31
  Speaker 6: whites tonight with a navy blue and red trim. And
• 2:33:35
  Speaker 6: they'll go with the red caps tonight with the navy
• 2:33:38
  Speaker 6: blue pill. Yankees, it's tradition. That means the all gray
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 6: road uniforms with the navy blue and some white trim.
• 2:33:50
  Speaker 6: 325 down the lines. 370 to left center. 375 to
• 2:33:55
  Speaker 6: right center. 400 to dead center. The 19-foot wall from
• 2:33:59
  Speaker 6: the left field corner to center. Then the 9-foot wall.
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 6: from center field toward the right field corner. Slade Ciccone
• 2:34:07
  Speaker 6: on the hill for Cleveland tonight. He pitched very well
• 2:34:12
  Speaker 6: in the Bronx last week. The right-hander against the New
• 2:34:17
  Speaker 6: York Yankees in last week's affair in which Cleveland lost
• 2:34:22
  Speaker 6: 2-1 to Carlos Rodon. Ciccone had no decision as in
• 2:34:27
  Speaker 6: that ballgame. He would go six strong innings. He only
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 6: gave up one run and he only allowed four hits.
• 2:34:34
  Speaker 6: He pitched about as well as he has pitched at
• 2:34:38
  Speaker 6: any time this year, and he'll try to replicate that tonight.
• 2:34:43
  Speaker 6: Slade Ciccone now throws three different fastballs, the four-seamer, two-seamer,
• 2:34:49
  Speaker 6: and the cutter. He's also got the curveball and a
• 2:34:53
  Speaker 6: split change. He'll occasionally throw the slider, but the slider
• 2:34:58
  Speaker 6: has been so ineffective for him that he's really discarded it,
• 2:35:03
  Speaker 6: for the most part. Ciccone, 6'4, 230, now 26 years
• 2:35:08
  Speaker 6: of age. And he'll face a lineup tonight that Aaron
• 2:35:13
  Speaker 6: Boone has put seven left-handed bats in that lineup. And
• 2:35:18
  Speaker 6: as far as the numbers are concerned, it's interesting because
• 2:35:23
  Speaker 6: the numbers are kind of reversed as to what you
• 2:35:26
  Speaker 6: would think. Left-handed batters are hitting. 277 against Ciccone, but
• 2:35:32
  Speaker 6: the right-handers have had a lot more success batting. 301,
• 2:35:37
  Speaker 6: but only two right-handed bats in the lineup tonight for
• 2:35:41
  Speaker 6: the Yankees. Leading it off for New York, Trent Grisham,
• 2:35:46
  Speaker 6: the left-handed hitting center fielder. Talk about hot. He is batting.
• 2:35:51
  Speaker 6: 383 over the last 16 ballgames. So we're about ready
• 2:35:57
  Speaker 6: to start this ballgame on an overcast night. Here in
• 2:36:01
  Speaker 6: Northeast Ohio, Yankees victorious in that wild 7-5, 10-inning affair
• 2:36:07
  Speaker 6: last night. Both managers admitted, yeah, it had an October
• 2:36:12
  Speaker 6: feel to it last evening. Ciccone's ready, the set, and
• 2:36:17
  Speaker 6: tonight's first pitch, and it's in their strength, and we're
• 2:36:20
  Speaker 6: underway at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario. Game time
• 2:36:24
  Speaker 6: temp of 86 degrees. 6-4-1, 8-6. Ciccone does not use
• 2:36:31
  Speaker 6: the windup. First base side of the slab. Back partially
• 2:36:35
  Speaker 6: turned to the hitter. And he delivers downstairs. Missed with
• 2:36:39
  Speaker 6: a sinker. And the count one and one. The next delivery.
• 2:36:52
  Speaker 6: And Grisham choking up about an inch. Takes a look
• 2:36:55
  Speaker 6: at a called strike. Nicked the outside corner with it.
• 2:37:00
  Speaker 6: One ball, two strikes. On the year, Grisham batting. 227,
• 2:37:04
  Speaker 6: eight homers, 33 RBIs. This is a Yankee ball club
• 2:37:09
  Speaker 6: that leads the American League in runs scored, five a game.
• 2:37:13
  Speaker 6: Leads the league in walks, leads the league in OPS,
• 2:37:17
  Speaker 6: leads the league in steals. Now the one-two. And Grisham
• 2:37:26
  Speaker 6: cuts and misses strike three. Boy, he got a good
• 2:37:28
  Speaker 6: cut fastball in on the hands of Grisham and tied
• 2:37:33
  Speaker 6: him up for the strikeout. That'll bring up the DH tonight,
• 2:37:37
  Speaker 6: Ben Rice. Anil Martinez in left. Stephen Kwan in center.
• 2:37:41
  Speaker 6: Chase DeLauder in right. Kyle Manzardo at first. Travis Pazana
• 2:37:46
  Speaker 6: at second. Brian Rocchio at short. Jose Ramirez at third,
• 2:37:50
  Speaker 6: and Austin Hedges doing the catching. Now Ben Rice, the
• 2:37:54
  Speaker 6: DH tonight, left-handed batter, takes a look at a pitch outside,
• 2:37:59
  Speaker 6: a sinker for ball one. Rice batting. 304, 18 bombs,
• 2:38:06
  Speaker 6: 15 doubles, 45 RBIs. What a year. Now the 1-0,
• 2:38:13
  Speaker 6: and he drives it foul down the left side to
• 2:38:16
  Speaker 6: even the count. Ben Rice is now sixth in the
• 2:38:22
  Speaker 6: batting race, third in home runs, fourth in RBIs, leads
• 2:38:28
  Speaker 6: the league in extra base hits, second in the league
• 2:38:31
  Speaker 6: in OPS. The pitch, and he fouls it back again.
• 2:38:36
  Speaker 6: Good location, in on the hands. One ball, two strikes.
• 2:38:43
  Speaker 6: Ben Rice out of Dartmouth University. A 12th round pick
• 2:38:47
  Speaker 6: five years ago. You can't get any deeper in the
• 2:38:50
  Speaker 6: box than Ben Rice is. Open stance. Bit of a crouch.
• 2:38:56
  Speaker 6: The pitch. And it's down and away. Missed. For ball two.
• 2:39:01
  Speaker 6: Two and two. Rice last year had 26 home runs.
• 2:39:06
  Speaker 6: 65 RBIs. He may blow back those numbers before the
• 2:39:11
  Speaker 6: all-star break. The 2-2. And he bangs one up the
• 2:39:15
  Speaker 6: middle on the ground. Behind second, fielded by Rocchio. Shortstop
• 2:39:18
  Speaker 6: throws him out. That is out number two. That'll bring
• 2:39:22
  Speaker 6: up Paul Goldschmidt. Needless to say, both managers need some
• 2:39:29
  Speaker 6: length tonight from their two starters. My goodness. Both managers
• 2:39:34
  Speaker 6: invested a lot in last night's game, using everybody on
• 2:39:40
  Speaker 6: their benches, almost everybody in the bullpen. Gavin Williams went
• 2:39:44
  Speaker 6: five innings. Starter Will Warren went four and a third.
• 2:39:48
  Speaker 6: Here's Paul Goldschmidt looking at a called strike. Good fastball
• 2:39:52
  Speaker 6: again from Ciccone. Goldschmidt homered last night, batting. 274, eight homers,
• 2:40:00
  Speaker 6: 27 RBIs. The 0-1, and he waves at it. Nothing
• 2:40:07
  Speaker 6: into the count. Paul Goldschmidt in his 16th major league
• 2:40:12
  Speaker 6: year Three times in his career, he's had a three-home
• 2:40:18
  Speaker 6: run game. Seven-time All-Star, the pitch, a swing and a
• 2:40:25
  Speaker 6: line shot to center base hit. Well, on an 0-2 pitch,
• 2:40:30
  Speaker 6: Slade Ciccone hung a breaking ball on the plate and
• 2:40:35
  Speaker 6: Goldschmidt roped one into center field. That'll bring up Cody Bellinger.
• 2:40:43
  Speaker 6: Got the game winning two run single in the 10th
• 2:40:46
  Speaker 6: inning last night. Left handed hitter in left field. Batting 276.
• 2:40:51
  Speaker 6: Nine homers. 43 RBIs. Now the pitch. And it's high.
• 2:40:58
  Speaker 6: Ball one. Bellinger in his 10th year. So much experience
• 2:41:05
  Speaker 6: on this Yankee ball club. And so many of these
• 2:41:10
  Speaker 6: guys have been in The biggest games the game has
• 2:41:14
  Speaker 6: to offer. Bellinger. This guy. Long time Los Angeles Dodger.
• 2:41:22
  Speaker 6: The pitch to him and he hits a high chopper
• 2:41:24
  Speaker 6: towards second. Bazana charges. Gets rid of it in a hurry.
• 2:41:28
  Speaker 6: And he gets Bellinger on a close play at first.
• 2:41:31
  Speaker 6: And a strong first inning for Slade Sigoni. Yankees do
• 2:41:36
  Speaker 6: not score. Cleveland coming to bat. Hi, Max the Bald

  Speaker 6: Well, Cleveland gets another crack at Garrett Cole. They beat
• 2:43:38
  Speaker 6: him last week, and that's a rarity. No score, bottom
• 2:43:42
  Speaker 6: of the first. Garrett Cole went five and a third
• 2:43:45
  Speaker 6: in the Bronx, gave up four runs as Cleveland hit
• 2:43:48
  Speaker 6: three home runs off Garrett Cole. Kyle Manzardo, Reese Hoskins,
• 2:43:54
  Speaker 6: Jose Ramirez all homered off Garrett Cole last week. Cole
• 2:43:59
  Speaker 6: facing Travis Bazzana to lead off the first no score
• 2:44:03
  Speaker 6: in Cleveland. The veteran right-hander pumps, fires, and it's high.
• 2:44:08
  Speaker 6: Ball one. Garrett Cole, this is just his fourth start.
• 2:44:14
  Speaker 6: Missed all of last year. Tommy John surgery.
• 2:44:19
  Speaker 4: The 1-0 pitch.
• 2:44:21
  Speaker 6: Pazana takes the strike and then was still recovering and
• 2:44:25
  Speaker 6: missed all of April and most of May. First start
• 2:44:29
  Speaker 6: was May 22nd. So this is his fourth start. Now
• 2:44:34
  Speaker 6: the 1-1 pitch. Lozano looks at a curveball strike. He's
• 2:44:39
  Speaker 6: challenging the call in the first inning. And the board
• 2:44:50
  Speaker 6: says it was low ball. Good challenge by Lozano. So
• 2:44:58
  Speaker 6: that changes things. And they count two balls and a
• 2:45:02
  Speaker 6: strike on Travis Lozano. The rookie batting 263, four homers,
• 2:45:08
  Speaker 6: 17 RBIs. The 2-1. High, 3-1. So Garrett Cole, four
• 2:45:17
  Speaker 6: starts now in 25 and 26, and two of them
• 2:45:22
  Speaker 6: against Cleveland. And in the windup, the 3-1 pitch. Swung on,
• 2:45:28
  Speaker 6: broken bat, roller to first as Bazonica jammed. And Garrett Cole...
• 2:45:34
  Speaker 6: Gets Bozana to start the game on an unassisted play
• 2:45:38
  Speaker 6: at first by Paul Goldschmidt. Garrett Cole, 6'4, 220, 35
• 2:45:44
  Speaker 6: years of age. Fastball, sinker, curve, slider, changeup. Lifetime against Cleveland,
• 2:45:52
  Speaker 6: 7-3 in the regular season with a 3-0-9 ERA and
• 2:45:57
  Speaker 6: 4-0 in the postseason. Jose Ramirez digs in, takes the strike.
• 2:46:03
  Speaker 6: In his career against Garrett Cole, Jose Ramirez is batting.
• 2:46:09
  Speaker 6: 423 and hit his third career home run off Cole
• 2:46:13
  Speaker 6: last week. The pitch, and he foul tips it, and
• 2:46:17
  Speaker 6: that was a good changeup, 0-2. Garrett Cole, in the
• 2:46:23
  Speaker 6: three starts he's made, Tampa, Kansas City, Cleveland, one win,
• 2:46:28
  Speaker 6: one loss, ERA 2. Hadn't given up any runs in
• 2:46:32
  Speaker 6: the first two starts, so Cleveland has scored the four
• 2:46:35
  Speaker 6: runs off of him in 18 innings. The pitch. Down low,
• 2:46:39
  Speaker 6: one and two. Cole averaging seven strikeouts, two walks per nine. Again,
• 2:46:46
  Speaker 6: shut down Tampa, shut down Kansas City. Cleveland got to
• 2:46:50
  Speaker 6: him last week. Can history repeat itself? No score in
• 2:46:56
  Speaker 6: the first. The pitch. Got him swinging. So Garrett Cole,
• 2:47:03
  Speaker 6: two quick outs as Ramirez strikes out. Here's Chase DeLauder
• 2:47:07
  Speaker 6: with two down. The Conrad score four win four new
• 2:47:11
  Speaker 6: tires contestant Kathy Solberg of Mentor. Kathy Solberg will win
• 2:47:17
  Speaker 6: Bridgestone tires from Conrad's Tire Express and Total Car Care.
• 2:47:22
  Speaker 6: And Cleveland has a four-run inning. Visit econrads.com to enter.
• 2:47:28
  Speaker 6: Garrett Cole into the windup and the pitch to DeLauder.
• 2:47:32
  Speaker 6: And it's fouled out of play to the left. Strike one.
• 2:47:36
  Speaker 6: De Lauder hitting. 254, seven homers, 33 RBIs. Cleveland with
• 2:47:43
  Speaker 6: a rookie leading off, a rookie batting third, and in
• 2:47:49
  Speaker 6: first place. The kick and the 0-1 pitch outside one-on-one
• 2:47:56
  Speaker 6: and visiting with the Yankee manager Aaron Boone in the
• 2:48:00
  Speaker 6: Yankee clubhouse tonight. Boone was saying, boy, this This is
• 2:48:05
  Speaker 6: as good a team as I've seen in Cleveland going
• 2:48:09
  Speaker 6: back into the 2017 era. That pitch outside, 2-1. When
• 2:48:16
  Speaker 6: he said, look, the teams have been really good that
• 2:48:18
  Speaker 6: we've had to beat in the playoffs, but he goes,
• 2:48:21
  Speaker 6: this club's even more dangerous. Now the windup and the 2-1.
• 2:48:28
  Speaker 6: De Lauder fouling it upstairs, 2-2. Cleveland trying to get
• 2:48:41
  Speaker 6: the offense kick-started. They were 0-4-11 last night with men
• 2:48:45
  Speaker 6: in scoring position. Still scored five runs. Cole looks over
• 2:48:51
  Speaker 6: to the first base dugout a lot. That's where the
• 2:48:53
  Speaker 6: Yankees are. And the pitch swung on, sliced down the
• 2:48:57
  Speaker 6: left side foul. Not sure what that's all about, but
• 2:49:01
  Speaker 6: a number of times he's been looking into that first
• 2:49:03
  Speaker 6: base dugout when he's on the mound before he delivers
• 2:49:08
  Speaker 6: the pitch. No score, two outs, nobody on. 2-2 count
• 2:49:13
  Speaker 6: on De Lauder. Into the windup. Here it comes. And
• 2:49:19
  Speaker 6: it's inside maybe? But the Yankees might challenge. They didn't.
• 2:49:24
  Speaker 6: Full count. Outfield for De Lauder is pretty much straight away,
• 2:49:28
  Speaker 6: but the infield really pulled to the right. Massive gap
• 2:49:34
  Speaker 6: on the left side of the infield. Payoff pitch. Again,
• 2:49:38
  Speaker 6: foul back and out of play. Seventh pitch at bat
• 2:49:41
  Speaker 6: so far for Chase DeLauder. And boy, you want to
• 2:49:45
  Speaker 6: get into that bullpen if you can.
• 2:49:49
  Speaker 4: Aaron Boone was saying.
• 2:49:52
  Speaker 6: I started looking at my card last night going, am
• 2:49:55
  Speaker 6: I going to need a position player to pitch in
• 2:49:58
  Speaker 6: extra innings? What a matchup that was last night. The
• 2:50:02
  Speaker 6: two managers going at it. The payoff pitch. Swung on,
• 2:50:06
  Speaker 6: fouled upstairs again. Great respect for these two ball clubs
• 2:50:12
  Speaker 6: amongst each other, amongst the managers, the front offices. And
• 2:50:18
  Speaker 6: both Aaron Boone and Stephen Vogt said, that's a pitch
• 2:50:22
  Speaker 6: clock violation. That is a strikeout. Not sure what Chase
• 2:50:28
  Speaker 6: DeLauder did. followed the ball upstairs, and just like that,
• 2:50:33
  Speaker 6: Jacob Metz set a pitch clock violation, a strikeout to
• 2:50:37
  Speaker 6: end the inning.
• 2:50:39
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 2:50:41
  Speaker 6: Last night, we saw Yankee hitters take forever to get
• 2:50:44
  Speaker 6: in the batter's box. Who knows? No score, one in
• 2:50:49
  Speaker 6: the books.
• 2:50:50
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Ron Verb, and I'm taking on the stories
• 2:50:54
  Speaker 1: that actually matter.
• 2:50:55
  Speaker 6: Tomorrow afternoon at 3.
• 2:50:56
  Speaker 1: On 570 WKBN.
• 2:51:02
  Speaker 6: No score, second inning. The number five hitter, second baseman
• 2:51:06
  Speaker 6: Jazz Chisholm, leans off against Slade Ciccone. Warm and humid tonight.
• 2:51:12
  Speaker 6: Ball will jump out of here. Ciccone's ready. And the pitch.
• 2:51:22
  Speaker 6: And it's sent in the air foul, third base side,
• 2:51:26
  Speaker 6: into the lower deck, strike one. Jazz Chisholm batting 230,
• 2:51:31
  Speaker 6: eight homers, 25 RBIs. Outfield plays him deep and toward right.
• 2:51:41
  Speaker 6: Ciccone lets it fly. And a curveball strike, 0-2. Ciccone
• 2:51:48
  Speaker 6: pitched at the University of Miami. First round pick by
• 2:51:51
  Speaker 6: Arizona in 2020. And traded to Cleveland. December of 2024
• 2:51:57
  Speaker 6: for Josh Naylor. Now the 0-2 delivery. And it's down
• 2:52:04
  Speaker 6: and in. One ball, two strikes. Saccone. Hand set. Belt high.
• 2:52:22
  Speaker 6: Time called by a Jazz chills him as he steps out.
• 2:52:35
  Speaker 6: Tomorrow day game, remember, 1-10 Parker Messick against Carlos Rodon.
• 2:52:40
  Speaker 6: What a matchup. The 1-2. A little bit high, 2-2.
• 2:52:48
  Speaker 6: And if you're wondering about the Tigers coming to town
• 2:52:52
  Speaker 6: this weekend... No word yet on Tarek Scoble. The 2-2
• 2:52:59
  Speaker 6: pitch outside full count. He will throw a bullpen tomorrow.
• 2:53:04
  Speaker 6: And if all goes well, it is expected that Tarek
• 2:53:08
  Speaker 6: Scoble will make his next start here in Cleveland this weekend.
• 2:53:13
  Speaker 6: But as always, you'll know more after the bullpen session tomorrow.
• 2:53:21
  Speaker 6: Now the payoff pitch. Down low, he walked him on
• 2:53:27
  Speaker 6: an off-speed pitch of some kind. So Chisholm's aboard, and
• 2:53:32
  Speaker 6: now this is where their speed comes into play. Cleveland
• 2:53:37
  Speaker 6: and the Yankees are the league leaders. Each team 64 steals,
• 2:53:45
  Speaker 6: and Chisholm fourth in the league with 16. Jose Ramirez
• 2:53:50
  Speaker 6: leads the American League with 23. The batter, Spencer Jones,
• 2:54:00
  Speaker 6: tossed to first, back with the dive is Chisholm. The
• 2:54:03
  Speaker 6: young man is almost freakish in his athleticism. He runs
• 2:54:11
  Speaker 6: extremely well, does Spencer Jones. He is 6'7, 240. The pitch,
• 2:54:18
  Speaker 6: and a tie, snap throw to first, tagged, not quite
• 2:54:21
  Speaker 6: in time.
• 2:54:22
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 2:54:24
  Speaker 6: Austin heads us from his knees, having to throw around
• 2:54:27
  Speaker 6: the left-handed batter, nearly picked off Jazz Chisholm. Jones had
• 2:54:36
  Speaker 6: 13 homers, 48 RBIs in AAA, now getting to play
• 2:54:41
  Speaker 6: in the absence of Aaron Judge. The pitch, and he
• 2:54:44
  Speaker 6: hits off. Ton of a drive to center. Wow. That
• 2:54:49
  Speaker 6: is way out of here. His first Major League home run. Well,
• 2:54:55
  Speaker 6: that's what he is capable of if you make a mistake.
• 2:55:00
  Speaker 6: Last night, Cleveland kept throwing fastballs by him. But that time,
• 2:55:07
  Speaker 6: he got a slider and he absolutely murdered it for
• 2:55:12
  Speaker 6: his first home run to dead center. 443 feet. And
• 2:55:16
  Speaker 6: it's 2-0 New York. The thing about Spencer Jones, he
• 2:55:25
  Speaker 6: is so big that there are a lot of holes
• 2:55:29
  Speaker 6: you can exploit, but boy, you better not miss. And
• 2:55:32
  Speaker 6: Ciccone missed. Anthony Volpe takes a called strike. That was
• 2:55:38
  Speaker 6: a cannon shot from Spencer Jones. 2-0 New York to pitch.
• 2:55:49
  Speaker 6: Volpe looks at strike two. The young shortstop trying to
• 2:55:53
  Speaker 6: get it going, batting. 203 with a homer, eight RBIs.
• 2:55:58
  Speaker 6: Been in the minors. He's battled injuries. And Jose Caballero
• 2:56:05
  Speaker 6: has outplayed him at short. Tonight, though, Volpe gets the start.
• 2:56:10
  Speaker 6: Righty-righty matchup. 2-0 New York, second inning. The 0-2 pitch.
• 2:56:16
  Speaker 6: And it's a touch high, one ball, two strikes. When
• 2:56:20
  Speaker 6: you've got rust to bust, Use PB Blaster. It's a
• 2:56:23
  Speaker 6: Cleveland original since 1957. PB Blaster, always work it like
• 2:56:29
  Speaker 6: a pro. The 1-2. Down and away ball, 2-2-2. Now
• 2:56:38
  Speaker 6: for the Yankees, Spencer Jones, or maybe when he gets healthy,
• 2:56:42
  Speaker 6: Jason Dominguez. The 2-2 pitch. Swing and a miss, tied
• 2:56:49
  Speaker 6: him up inside with a fastball. Second strikeout, Volpe out
• 2:56:53
  Speaker 6: number one. Aaron Judds is going to be out for
• 2:56:57
  Speaker 6: a while. Not days, not weeks, probably months. So guys
• 2:57:05
  Speaker 6: like Spencer Jones and Jason Dominguez are going to get
• 2:57:09
  Speaker 6: an opportunity to show what they can do. Here's Ryan McMahon,
• 2:57:13
  Speaker 6: homered last night, left-handed hitting third baseman. 2-0 New York,
• 2:57:18
  Speaker 6: the pitch swung on and missed, strike one. McMahon batting 2-11,
• 2:57:23
  Speaker 6: 7 homers, 21 RBIs. Second round pick out of high
• 2:57:28
  Speaker 6: school by the Rockies 13 years ago. Tenth year in
• 2:57:32
  Speaker 6: the big leagues. The pitch to him. And he foul
• 2:57:35
  Speaker 6: tips it. And the count 0-2. But once again, boy,
• 2:57:39
  Speaker 6: it's happened a lot lately. Both for and against Cleveland.
• 2:57:45
  Speaker 6: A leadoff walk gets an inning going. Jazz Chisholm was
• 2:57:49
  Speaker 6: behind in the count. Worked a walk. And then Spencer
• 2:57:53
  Speaker 6: Jones hammered. A slider that didn't do anything. The pitch
• 2:57:59
  Speaker 6: swung on. Fouled upstairs. Still an 0-2 count.
• 2:58:13
  Speaker 4: 2-0 New York.
• 2:58:18
  Speaker 6: Ciccone's 0-2 delivery. And McMahon swings. It's a high bouncer
• 2:58:23
  Speaker 6: to first. Handled by Manzardo. two down. That'll bring up J.C.
• 2:58:28
  Speaker 10: Ascara.
• 2:58:29
  Speaker 6: Now the one thing about pitching against New York, chances
• 2:58:33
  Speaker 6: are you're going to make a mistake here and there
• 2:58:35
  Speaker 6: and you're going to get taken deep. The key is
• 2:58:38
  Speaker 6: minimize the damage. And since the home run, Ciccone with
• 2:58:42
  Speaker 6: two outs. Now can he get the number nine hitter,
• 2:58:45
  Speaker 6: catcher J.C. Ascara, who had headed back to the minor
• 2:58:49
  Speaker 6: leagues because he was batting a buck 72. And then
• 2:58:53
  Speaker 6: Austin Wells With headaches, had to go on the injured list.
• 2:58:57
  Speaker 6: Oscara back up. He looks at a called strike. Sun
• 2:59:05
  Speaker 6: trying to peek through the overcast skies. Hot and humid
• 2:59:09
  Speaker 6: here in Northeast Ohio. Now the 0-1 pitch. And a
• 2:59:16
  Speaker 6: curve in the dirt. One ball, one strike. Not nearly
• 2:59:24
  Speaker 6: as big a crowd as last night. Almost 30 fouls
• 2:59:29
  Speaker 6: in here last evening. Now the 1-1. Curveball swung on,
• 2:59:39
  Speaker 6: pounded foul right side. And the count now, one ball,
• 2:59:43
  Speaker 6: two strikes. Now the 1-2. Got him swinging. Came back
• 3:00:05
  Speaker 6: with a breaking ball and good job of recovery by Ciccone.
• 3:00:09
  Speaker 6: But Spencer Jones, what a memorable first Major League home run.
• 3:00:16
  Speaker 6: A prodigious blast to center. 2-0 New York in the
• 3:00:20
  Speaker 6: middle of inning number two.
• 3:00:22

• 3:02:20
  Speaker 2: 2-0.
• 3:02:21
  Speaker 6: Yankees have the lead.
• 3:02:22
  Speaker 1: Middle of the order.
• 3:02:23
  Speaker 6: Manzardo, Hoskins, Martinez against Garrett Cole. Kyle Manzardo homered last
• 3:02:30
  Speaker 6: week off Garrett Cole. Hitting. 229, seven bombs, 21 RBIs.
• 3:02:36
  Speaker 6: The right-handers pitch. And it's fouled out of play to
• 3:02:38
  Speaker 6: the left. Strike one. Garrett Cole and Adam Pletko. Good friends.
• 3:02:43
  Speaker 6: They were UCLA teammates. And of course... If you ever
• 3:02:47
  Speaker 6: meet a better guy than Adam Pletko, please introduce us.
• 3:02:51
  Speaker 6: Here's the wind-up and the 0-1 pitch. Up high, 1-1.
• 3:02:57
  Speaker 6: What a pitching staff with Garrett Cole, Trevor Bauer, Adam Pletko.
• 3:03:04
  Speaker 6: The UCLA Bruins. Now the wind and the 1-1. Checked
• 3:03:10
  Speaker 6: on a pitch called a strike. Manzardo thought it was high.
• 3:03:14
  Speaker 6: One ball, two strikes. Garrett Cole was the number one
• 3:03:18
  Speaker 6: pick in the draft out of UCLA in 2011 going
• 3:03:21
  Speaker 6: to Pittsburgh. And Trevor Bauer was the number three pick
• 3:03:26
  Speaker 6: in that draft going to Arizona. Now the windup. Now
• 3:03:34
  Speaker 6: the one-two. Swung on. Fouled again. Left side out of play.
• 3:03:40
  Speaker 6: But Garrett Cole's arm finally gave out on him that
• 3:03:43
  Speaker 6: day after Tommy John's surgery last spring. A lot of
• 3:03:48
  Speaker 6: mileage on that arm when you think college, the major leagues.
• 3:03:52
  Speaker 6: Down the one-two. Swung on, lifted in the air to center.
• 3:03:59
  Speaker 6: Grisham is under it. And that's out number one. I
• 3:04:05
  Speaker 6: would think at some point, depending on how long he pitches,
• 3:04:09
  Speaker 6: Garrett Cole's going to be in discussion for the Hall
• 3:04:12
  Speaker 6: of Fame. I mean, right now... Garrett Cole has a
• 3:04:15
  Speaker 6: record of 146-76. That's an incredible winning percentage. A career
• 3:04:23
  Speaker 6: ERA of just over three. Six-time All-Star. Cy Young Award winner.
• 3:04:31
  Speaker 6: Here's Reese Hoskins, the D.H. He had a two-run homer
• 3:04:35
  Speaker 6: off Cole last week. And he looks at a pitch
• 3:04:39
  Speaker 6: down and away. 2-0 Yanks. The 1-0 pitch. Swung on,
• 3:04:51
  Speaker 6: drilled to left. That's a base hit near the line.
• 3:04:54
  Speaker 6: Cut off near the line by Bellinger and Hoskins as
• 3:04:58
  Speaker 6: Cleveland's first hit.
• 3:05:00
  Speaker 4: Rosier's just looking some things up today.
• 3:05:02
  Speaker 6: You know, it looks like Felix Hernandez could very well
• 3:05:07
  Speaker 6: go into the Hall of Fame based on how the
• 3:05:09
  Speaker 6: vote went last January. And look, he had a marvelous career.
• 3:05:17
  Speaker 6: And I'm not saying he shouldn't go in by no means.
• 3:05:21
  Speaker 6: King Felix was named King Felix for a reason. I'll
• 3:05:26
  Speaker 6: tell you what, that guy sitting right next to us,
• 3:05:29
  Speaker 6: David Cohn, has even better numbers. And no one talks
• 3:05:33
  Speaker 6: about David Cohn for the Hall of Fame. Angel Martinez
• 3:05:36
  Speaker 6: takes the strike. Who's licking up David Cohn's numbers?
• 3:05:39
  Speaker 21: 194 wins.
• 3:05:45
  Speaker 6: A winning percentage of 61%. Here's the 0-1. A swing
• 3:05:51
  Speaker 6: and a ground ball. Pulled a first diving backhand. It's
• 3:05:53
  Speaker 6: stopped by Goldschmidt from his knees. Flipped to Cole covering.
• 3:05:58
  Speaker 6: So Martinez retired to second his hostiles. Two down, 2-0
• 3:06:04
  Speaker 6: New York. David Cole. His numbers are even better than
• 3:06:09
  Speaker 6: King Felix. More wins. Better whip. He was 12-3 in postseason.
• 3:06:18
  Speaker 6: He had an ERA of under 3.5. A Cy Young
• 3:06:22
  Speaker 6: Award winner. He had a war, if you're into that,
• 3:06:28
  Speaker 6: of 62. Here is Stephen Kwan in center tonight. Cole
• 3:06:35
  Speaker 6: checked second, the pitch. Outside a ball. For instance, CeCe
• 3:06:41
  Speaker 6: Sabathia went into the Hall of Fame last year. Same
• 3:06:44
  Speaker 6: war as David Cohen. Juan Marichal in the Hall of Fame.
• 3:06:48
  Speaker 6: Same war as David Cohn. And Tom, you mentioned the postseason.
• 3:06:52
  Speaker 6: I think that counts for a lot. It should, I think.
• 3:06:55
  Speaker 6: The 1-0 pitch outside 2-0. I guess my point is.
• 3:07:00
  Speaker 6: why do we never hear people talk about David Cohn?
• 3:07:04
  Speaker 6: David Cohn's a Hall of Famer. You wonder. I mean,
• 3:07:07
  Speaker 6: and it's crazy to say, 194 wins.
• 3:07:10
  Speaker 21: If he had gotten over 200, would the perception be different?
• 3:07:16
  Speaker 21: Which isn't fair, I don't think.
• 3:07:17
  Speaker 6: King Felix has like 160 hits. The pitch, swing and
• 3:07:21
  Speaker 6: a foul down the left side, 2-1. I just think
• 3:07:26
  Speaker 6: you could have these arguments, obviously, about a lot of players,
• 3:07:29
  Speaker 6: but just in visiting with David Cohn. One, visiting with
• 3:07:34
  Speaker 6: him is like getting your Ph.D. in baseball. He is
• 3:07:40
  Speaker 6: such a brilliant baseball mind. The pitch, check, swing, inside,
• 3:07:44
  Speaker 6: he didn't go. So it's always great when David Cohn's
• 3:07:48
  Speaker 6: in the ballpark. three and one to count. Then you
• 3:07:51
  Speaker 6: look up those numbers, and David Cohn never talks about himself.
• 3:07:56
  Speaker 6: And it's like, I think sometimes we forget how great
• 3:07:59
  Speaker 6: these guys were.
• 3:08:01
  Speaker 21: And if you saw him on the street, you would
• 3:08:03
  Speaker 21: never say Hall of Fame pitcher because like a Jose Ramirez,
• 3:08:06
  Speaker 21: he's not a big man.
• 3:08:07
  Speaker 10: No.
• 3:08:08
  Speaker 21: But he was durable and pitched a ton of innings
• 3:08:11
  Speaker 21: with a lot of success.
• 3:08:12
  Speaker 6: I think Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt thought maybe Stephen Kwan
• 3:08:16
  Speaker 6: got hit by that pitch. And so the home plate umpire,
• 3:08:20
  Speaker 6: Jacob Metz, will discuss it with the first base ump
• 3:08:23
  Speaker 6: and crew chief, Mark Wagner.
• 3:08:26
  Speaker 9: There's interference.
• 3:08:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 3:08:29
  Speaker 6: Not hit by the pitch, but catcher's interference.
• 3:08:34
  Speaker 4: Anyway, I'm not trying to start some raucous debate.
• 3:08:39
  Speaker 6: I just think guys like David Cohn and Oral Hershiser
• 3:08:44
  Speaker 6: haven't maybe been given their proper due yet. how good
• 3:08:48
  Speaker 6: they were and how quickly people forget how good they were.
• 3:08:53
  Speaker 6: And they're Hall of Fame worthy.
• 3:08:54
  Speaker 21: And so much of what you base it on changes because, look,
• 3:08:58
  Speaker 21: no one's getting to 300 wins, much less 200 anymore,
• 3:09:01
  Speaker 21: just the way the game is set up for starting pitchers.
• 3:09:04
  Speaker 21: But you feel like there's a place for two that
• 3:09:07
  Speaker 21: you just mentioned, Cohn and Hershiser.
• 3:09:10
  Speaker 6: Never forget in 1995, David Cohn was at the peak.
• 3:09:16
  Speaker 6: of his incredible career, pitching for Toronto. 7-0 Blue Jays
• 3:09:22
  Speaker 6: had the lead. Cleveland came back to win it. And
• 3:09:25
  Speaker 6: Paul Sorrento walked it off.
• 3:09:27
  Speaker 10: At the review, the call on the field is overturned.
• 3:09:29
  Speaker 9: There was catcher's interference.
• 3:09:31
  Speaker 10: The batter's awarded first base, and Cleveland will retain their talent.
• 3:09:36
  Speaker 6: I'll tell you what. Gunnar Wilhelmi has been on a
• 3:09:43
  Speaker 6: roll here. He's Every challenge that Gunner comes up with
• 3:09:48
  Speaker 6: is the correct call. Great job there. It was catcher's interference.
• 3:09:53
  Speaker 6: That's an error on the catcher. It does not count
• 3:09:57
  Speaker 6: as an official at bat. Stephen Kwan is now at
• 3:10:04
  Speaker 6: first base. Two out, two on. Two-nothing Yankees, second inning.
• 3:10:08
  Speaker 6: Here's catcher Austin Hedges. The set and the pitch. And
• 3:10:15
  Speaker 6: it's in there, a strike. And this is the second
• 3:10:20
  Speaker 6: game in a row that Oscara has been charged with
• 3:10:28
  Speaker 6: catcher's interference. Now the 0-1 pitch, outside a ball, 1-1
• 3:10:34
  Speaker 6: the count.
• 3:10:34
  Speaker 21: When's the last time you saw catcher's interference in back-to-back games?
• 3:10:40
  Speaker 6: Same catcher.
• 3:10:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 3:10:43
  Speaker 6: Two down, two on. 2-0 Yankees, second inning. The 1-1
• 3:10:48
  Speaker 6: to Hedges, and he takes strike two. Hedges batting. 250,
• 3:10:53
  Speaker 6: a homer, seven RBIs. Hey, when the Guardians do win,
• 3:10:57
  Speaker 6: your Northeast Ohio Ford dealers donate $ 500 to Cleveland Guardians Charities,
• 3:11:03
  Speaker 6: supporting expanded access to youth sports in Cleveland. Well, Hedges
• 3:11:10
  Speaker 6: has had a number of big hits this year. Can
• 3:11:15
  Speaker 6: he deliver again? The 1-2 pitch. Fouled it back. I mean,
• 3:11:21
  Speaker 6: this is a guy, Austin Hedges, batting. 250. His career
• 3:11:28
  Speaker 6: batting average,. 185 coming into this season. Hits out of
• 3:11:37
  Speaker 6: an open stance. Cole checks second. Another look, the pitch.
• 3:11:47
  Speaker 6: Swung on, fouled it, ball bounced up off the ground
• 3:11:50
  Speaker 6: and hit Hedges in the batter's box. They count one
• 3:11:54
  Speaker 6: and two, and the good news is no matter what
• 3:11:56
  Speaker 6: happens this inning, Cleveland again has made Garrett Cole work.
• 3:12:01
  Speaker 6: He's had 35 pitches, and the inning isn't over yet.
• 3:12:12
  Speaker 6: the pitch and Hedges skies one in the air. Shallow left.
• 3:12:17
  Speaker 6: Cody Bellinger's there. The left fielder makes the catch and
• 3:12:21
  Speaker 6: Cole works out of it. The Yankees lead 2-0. Third
• 3:12:24
  Speaker 6: inning next. This is the Cleveland Clinic Radio Network.
