Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, hidey-ho and good afternoon. It's a wet one where
- 0:05Speaker 1: I'm at. Ron Ferb from Tiffany Boulevard here in Boardman,
- 0:08Speaker 1: our studios. And it is raining. And we need it.
- 0:12Speaker 1: We absolutely need it. It's been awful dry. So I
- 0:15Speaker 1: had a little bit of rain this morning in my
- 0:18Speaker 1: neck of the woods. Then a delay for a bit.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Things dried out. And then, you know, I'd say around
- 0:25Speaker 1: 1 o'clock, 1.30, it started raining again. And it's still
- 0:28Speaker 1: continuing to rain. Not bellyaching about it by any stretch
- 0:32Speaker 1: of the imagination because, as I say, things were getting
- 0:35Speaker 1: awful dry. And the grass and the shrubs and everything
- 0:39Speaker 1: needs a good dose of water. So it's a good thing.
- 0:42Speaker 1: 307 in the afternoon. Nice to be with you here.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Hope you had a wonderful weekend and Father's Day weekend
- 0:48Speaker 1: as well. My top secret number, 330-729-9977.
- 0:49Speaker 2: 330-729-9977.
- 0:50Speaker 1: So much to discuss with people. As we go along
- 1:02Speaker 1: here this afternoon. So stay tuned. Let me see what
- 1:06Speaker 1: awaits me here. You're on the air. Wait, you're on
- 1:11Speaker 1: the air.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:12Speaker 3: Hi, Ron.
- 1:13Speaker 4: How you doing?
- 1:14Speaker 1: I'm well.
- 1:15Speaker 4: I've got some feedback for the show.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:18Speaker 4: Some positive and some negative.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:20Speaker 4: Let's get the negative out of the way first real
- 1:22Speaker 4: quick in case Mayor McKelvey's listening.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:25Speaker 4: He thinks there's too much talk of finance and puts
- 1:28Speaker 4: and calls on the show.
- 1:29Speaker 1: All right. Good.
- 1:30Speaker 4: So I promise, Mayor, I promise, George, this will be
- 1:33Speaker 4: the last day.
- 1:33Speaker 5: Okay.
- 1:34Speaker 4: Now let me get to the positive. Your show Thursday
- 1:38Speaker 4: night with John Arnold was one of the best I've heard.
- 1:41Speaker 4: I mean, it was– I was listening to that guy,
- 1:44Speaker 4: and I said, oh, my God– I run my own
- 1:47Speaker 4: little mini hedge fund for myself, and everything probably went
- 1:52Speaker 4: over most people's heads, and I don't know if you
- 1:54Speaker 4: caught a lot of gems in there, but there are
- 1:57Speaker 4: people like Mr. Arnold that know what they're doing and
- 2:02Speaker 4: can make money, and what you want to do is outperform,
- 2:06Speaker 4: try to outperform the S & P every year. And
- 2:08Speaker 4: he threw out a figure that I thought was right
- 2:14Speaker 4: on target for a guy that knows what he's doing,
- 2:17Speaker 4: And last year, the S & P for one year
- 2:20Speaker 4: of the spiders was 25%. And last year, I made,
- 2:26Speaker 4: let's see real quick, 40%. Well, there you go. And
- 2:30Speaker 4: that's hedging through options and holding stocks. And he was
- 2:37Speaker 4: throwing gems out right and left that most people wouldn't
- 2:40Speaker 4: have picked up on. Like, for example, he's always thinking.
- 2:43Speaker 4: The mind's always going on what to do. what investments
- 2:46Speaker 4: to make, how to make money. And he talked about
- 2:49Speaker 4: when he was on vacation, he would still think about that. Right.
- 2:53Speaker 4: And that's what I was doing on the holiday. I
- 2:55Speaker 4: was playing golf, and I said, oh, the market's closed today.
- 2:58Speaker 4: What am I going to do on Monday? And he
- 3:02Speaker 4: mentioned my favorite stock. He threw out Micron Technology. I
- 3:05Speaker 4: don't know if you caught that.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Yeah, I know he mentioned a couple of them, yeah.
- 3:11Speaker 4: Micron Technology is an expensive stock. It's over $ 1, 000, but
- 3:18Speaker 4: it's the pulse of AI right now. Word's going.
- 3:22Speaker 6: It's $ 1, 192.
- 3:22Speaker 4: And as you know, I'm all in on AI. And
- 3:29Speaker 4: I use, I don't know, do you use AI at all?
- 3:33Speaker 1: Just as far as Google is concerned and that kind
- 3:36Speaker 1: of stuff, yeah.
- 3:38Speaker 4: Don't use Google. Use Croc.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I mean. I mean, just in that sense. Yeah,
- 3:44Speaker 1: just the fringes of it. Let me put it that way.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Just to shoot back at you when you're talking about AI,
- 3:50Speaker 1: it's interesting you should mention it. I was watching– I'm
- 3:53Speaker 1: trying to think of the big guy with– It's not Berman.
- 3:58Speaker 1: There's another guy. He's on CNBC all the time. Starts
- 4:00Speaker 1: with a C. He's an analyst that talks. I was
- 4:03Speaker 1: listening to him over the weekend. He seems to think,
- 4:06Speaker 1: just as a side notice, we talk too much, I guess,
- 4:09Speaker 1: about this kind of stuff. He seems to think that
- 4:13Speaker 1: that whole sector as far as oil and what do
- 4:17Speaker 1: they call it? I guess oil, minerals, and electrodes, if
- 4:22Speaker 1: you will, are basically electricity and all the stuff that
- 4:26Speaker 1: you need to make stuff and oil is the sectors
- 4:30Speaker 1: to be in.
- 4:32Speaker 7: Right.
- 4:32Speaker 4: Well, I'm not in the oil sector. I'm in the
- 4:35Speaker 4: basically semiconductor AI trade. And if you look at the
- 4:39Speaker 4: big AI, there's Grok, there's ChatGPT. Grok is Elon Musk.
- 4:44Speaker 4: ChatGPT is Microsoft. Then you have Claude Anthropic, which was
- 4:49Speaker 4: a combination of Amazon, Google, and then you have Google
- 4:54Speaker 4: by itself that has Gemini, and then, of course, you
- 4:57Speaker 4: have Meta AI. Those are the big players. And you
- 5:03Speaker 4: can look at companies like Micron that supply the chip's
- 5:09Speaker 4: memory and storage. I used to play Micron back in
- 5:13Speaker 4: the day when it was $ 40 a share, $ 50. Well,
- 5:14Speaker 4: I hope.
- 5:15Speaker 1: You bought a ton of it if it's $ 1, 000 a
- 5:17Speaker 1: share now.
- 5:21Speaker 4: No, I just sold another cash-secured put this morning. I
- 5:26Speaker 4: made a strike price of $ 9. 90 before earnings, and I
- 5:30Speaker 4: made $ 6, 084 on that one contract. Look at that. I
- 5:35Speaker 4: have four contracts on Micron. I play my options through
- 5:38Speaker 4: cash-secured puts.
- 5:43Speaker 1: You know what's important for people to hear? A lot
- 5:45Speaker 1: of people that are listening don't understand what you're saying.
- 5:48Speaker 1: They genuinely don't understand it. Here's what I say to
- 5:52Speaker 1: all of them. If you don't understand it, and I
- 5:55Speaker 1: don't fully understand it either, but I'm intrigued by guys
- 5:59Speaker 1: like this on the end of my line and these
- 6:01Speaker 1: guys because when they talk about making, of course, there's
- 6:05Speaker 1: still taxes on it, $ 6, 800 in a day.
- 6:10Speaker 4: Actually, I made one other trade this morning, and I
- 6:12Speaker 4: was done by 1046. I sold a covered call on
- 6:16Speaker 4: Coinbase Global, which is I'm also into crypto. With a
- 6:20Speaker 4: 170 strike price, I made $ 1, 000 on that. So I
- 6:23Speaker 4: made like $ 7, 000 this morning.
- 6:27Speaker 1: This is why I say to so many of you listening,
- 6:30Speaker 1: this is something important for people to understand. I wish
- 6:33Speaker 1: I understood it better. I'll just tell you all of that.
- 6:36Speaker 1: When it comes to the stock market, my mentality is
- 6:40Speaker 1: buying and selling traditional stocks. My mentality is so much
- 6:44Speaker 1: different than these guys because these guys are so good
- 6:47Speaker 1: at what they do. I would always remember what Buffett
- 6:49Speaker 1: used to tell his wife. He said, listen, if I die,
- 6:52Speaker 1: just take your money and put it in the S &
- 6:54Speaker 1: P 500 index and forget about it. This is what
- 6:57Speaker 1: Buffett recommended because you got a diversity of stocks. Stocks
- 7:00Speaker 1: would come in and go and And you don't have
- 7:03Speaker 1: to worry about it so much. So I'm more of a,
- 7:06Speaker 1: from the school of Buffett, I'm more a person that
- 7:08Speaker 1: says you buy this. And, and, and what most people
- 7:13Speaker 1: would understand when I'm talking to a guy like this
- 7:15Speaker 1: or others like this, these guys are really smart folks.
- 7:18Speaker 1: That's all I'm trying to say to you. These guys
- 7:19Speaker 1: are really smart. And I sit back and say, what
- 7:23Speaker 1: a great country, you know, for these guys. They make
- 7:24Speaker 1: $ 7, 000 in a day because they understand this and they
- 7:28Speaker 1: know what they're doing. And perhaps everybody should learn it
- 7:33Speaker 1: much better than they do. I mean, we talk about
- 7:35Speaker 1: teaching economics in high school. We should really be teaching
- 7:39Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff as well. Make no mistake,
- 7:41Speaker 1: you can make a lot of money, but you better
- 7:43Speaker 1: know what you're doing because you can also lose a
- 7:44Speaker 1: lot of money, too.
- 7:46Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 7:46Speaker 4: That's why you want to be hedged. And that's what's
- 7:49Speaker 4: so fascinating about John Arnold. You know, I hedge. I
- 7:53Speaker 4: have a large portfolio. And I always carry around my
- 7:57Speaker 4: last quarterly statements because people think I'm blowing smoke. And
- 8:01Speaker 4: I always carry around trade confirmations because my old mentor,
- 8:05Speaker 4: Kenny Schaefer, would always say, what did you do today
- 8:08Speaker 4: and show me? I would pull out my paper trades.
- 8:11Speaker 4: This is what I did when I get them in
- 8:13Speaker 4: the mail. But we've had guys in Youngstown, like Tony LaRuscia,
- 8:18Speaker 4: remember him?
- 8:19Speaker 1: Yes.
- 8:20Speaker 4: The Merrill Lynch stockbroker, financial advisor that was the big philanthropist.
- 8:26Speaker 4: He helped, what did he give, $ 4 million to YSU?
- 8:29Speaker 1: All kinds of money, yes. All kinds of money, yeah.
- 8:32Speaker 4: And he helped a lot of people. He had a
- 8:34Speaker 4: great family. There were a lot of talented people like him.
- 8:38Speaker 4: And I think it's their occupation, and for me personally,
- 8:43Speaker 4: I've been doing it for over 50 years. It's my hobby,
- 8:46Speaker 4: and it's just what I do.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're good at it. You know, I say
- 8:51Speaker 1: it often. You know, John does a show Thursday night.
- 8:54Speaker 1: He always wanted to have his own hedge fund, which
- 8:56Speaker 1: he has. But I say this. You know, John's been
- 8:58Speaker 1: doing a financial show on the station for a lot
- 9:00Speaker 1: of years. And I say this. John's made a lot
- 9:04Speaker 1: of people a hell of a lot of money, just
- 9:06Speaker 1: average people that invested with him. He made them a
- 9:09Speaker 1: lot of money.
- 9:10Speaker 2: I am..
- 9:13Speaker 1: Pleasantly surprised how many people are so grateful to John
- 9:16Speaker 1: Arnold for just enhancing their retirement years tremendously.
- 9:20Speaker 4: Ron, there are a lot of people that there's a
- 9:22Speaker 4: way to hedge and grow their funds. And I say
- 9:25Speaker 4: for the majority of the people, if you're under 50
- 9:28Speaker 4: years old, you have a young family, pay your mortgage off,
- 9:32Speaker 4: take care of your family. Don't worry about trying to gamble.
- 9:35Speaker 1: In the marketplace.
- 9:37Speaker 4: But for the people over 50 and retired that have
- 9:39Speaker 4: a lot of money and you want to grow it
- 9:42Speaker 4: and hedge it and protect it, the number one way
- 9:45Speaker 4: to do it is people like John Arnold. And I'm
- 9:48Speaker 4: not plugging him because.
- 9:49Speaker 1: It's just a fact. But you know he knows what
- 9:52Speaker 1: he's talking about. But I would tell you this much.
- 9:55Speaker 1: I would have total confidence in you as well. Believe
- 9:59Speaker 1: me when I say it. tell you that. I wouldn't
- 10:01Speaker 1: have a problem with you as well. But you've got
- 10:04Speaker 1: to remember, you've got to be able to have enough
- 10:06Speaker 1: money to where if you make it, great. If you
- 10:08Speaker 1: lose it, it's not going to put you under. Let's
- 10:12Speaker 1: put it that way.
- 10:13Speaker 8: Right.
- 10:13Speaker 4: That's why the first thing is get a probe, folks.
- 10:17Speaker 4: Don't listen to anybody on the radio. Get a professional.
- 10:21Speaker 4: Unless you really know what you're talking about, you have
- 10:23Speaker 4: the funds and you can show the results. Right.
- 10:27Speaker 1: But I would do this. I'd keep a lot of
- 10:30Speaker 1: the results if I was you to myself, as opposed
- 10:32Speaker 1: to unless you're talking to your family and close friends.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Outside of that, it's really nobody's business.
- 10:37Speaker 4: Most people know me, and I'm a frugal cheapskate.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Right, but I mean..
- 10:42Speaker 4: Believe it or not, all of my capital and money
- 10:47Speaker 4: was Charles Schwab and Fidelity out in California and Texas.
- 10:52Speaker 4: But anyway, getting back to... the ways you can hedge,
- 10:57Speaker 4: and most people think, and John mentioned shorting, but I'm
- 11:00Speaker 4: sure he was talking about shorting through options with the
- 11:03Speaker 4: S & P. You could protect, if you have a
- 11:06Speaker 4: portfolio of a million dollars, you can use the spiders
- 11:10Speaker 4: and buy 13 contracts to hedge, to protect you in
- 11:16Speaker 4: a down market. Now, when I say a down market...
- 11:19Speaker 4: A 1% correction a day or a 5% correction a
- 11:23Speaker 4: week is nothing. I'm talking about 20% to 30%. That's
- 11:27Speaker 4: when protection really kicks in. And you can buy these puts.
- 11:31Speaker 4: You can buy the S & P spider puts to
- 11:34Speaker 4: protect you.
- 11:35Speaker 1: You need somebody that knows what they're doing like you.
- 11:37Speaker 1: And like Arnold has that hedge fund now, but... Yeah,
- 11:40Speaker 1: there's like four requirements. It's not out of the realm
- 11:43Speaker 1: of possibility for a person that has a couple hundred thousand.
- 11:48Speaker 1: You could put a hundred thousand in it if you
- 11:49Speaker 1: have that. There's some criteria to get into it, legally
- 11:52Speaker 1: some criteria to get into it.
- 11:55Speaker 4: Yeah, it used to be a hedge fund. You'd have
- 11:57Speaker 4: to have over so many million, and it was the
- 11:59Speaker 4: big boy.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Well, he designed this one, and it's all through how
- 12:04Speaker 1: the system is so that it doesn't fall in that category.
- 12:08Speaker 1: If you listen, he really started this hedge fund for
- 12:11Speaker 1: people that aren't multimillionaires. I mean, it's real, and that's
- 12:16Speaker 1: why you can get into it for, what, $ 100, 000 or $ 200, 000.
- 12:19Speaker 1: But there's four criterias. If you meet any one of
- 12:22Speaker 1: the four, you can be one of the 100 investors
- 12:24Speaker 1: in it.
- 12:25Speaker 4: Right. You want to be making a certain income. You
- 12:29Speaker 4: don't want to be in debt. You don't want to
- 12:31Speaker 4: have a huge mortgage. But there's all kinds of ways to..
- 12:37Speaker 1: But I'm sure there's days you lose money, though, too.
- 12:41Speaker 4: Ron, let me tell you, there are days when I've
- 12:43Speaker 4: lost $ 300, 000.
- 12:45Speaker 9: In a day.
- 12:46Speaker 4: And back 20 years ago, I would have lost sleep
- 12:49Speaker 4: over and killed myself. But now it's just part of
- 12:52Speaker 4: doing business. I mean, it's up, it's down. And it's
- 12:56Speaker 4: like today's rotation. It was classic sector rotation. All of
- 13:01Speaker 4: the techs were down like 2% to 4%. And with
- 13:06Speaker 4: the exception of Apple, Apple was up. But everything else,
- 13:10Speaker 4: and the certain chips like Micron was up big because
- 13:15Speaker 4: they're coming out with earnings in two days.
- 13:18Speaker 1: I'm sure that's the future. AI is the future, whether
- 13:20Speaker 1: people like it or not. But I also say... I
- 13:24Speaker 1: try to think of that guy's name if I come up.
- 13:26Speaker 1: I'll mention it on the air. He's one of the
- 13:28Speaker 1: big guys I see on CNBC. He seems to think
- 13:31Speaker 1: people should definitely be in the oil and what do
- 13:34Speaker 1: you call it? You know, like the minerals and oil, minerals,
- 13:39Speaker 1: and electrodes, I think is what they say. Basically, electricity
- 13:43Speaker 1: and all the minerals that you need for stuff as
- 13:46Speaker 1: well as oil. He seems that there's such a shortage.
- 13:50Speaker 1: There's a huge shortage and such a huge demand. It's
- 13:53Speaker 1: a sector he thinks is pretty good.
- 13:56Speaker 4: That's because of the data centers. You're going to need
- 13:59Speaker 4: lots and lots, even though Musk is going to put
- 14:01Speaker 4: them in space. I hate to tell it to you, too.
- 14:05Speaker 4: I know he doesn't like data centers, the pollution. They
- 14:08Speaker 4: ruin everything. It's just the fact that they're here and
- 14:11Speaker 4: they're going to expand.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Right, and everybody's going to use it.
- 14:14Speaker 4: They're going to make a lot of noise. They're going
- 14:16Speaker 4: to use a lot of electricity and water, and they're
- 14:19Speaker 4: going to be bad, but they're going to make a
- 14:20Speaker 4: lot of people a lot of money.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Right.
- 14:23Speaker 4: And they're also going to help people.
- 14:25Speaker 1: Right.
- 14:25Speaker 4: I use AI a lot in financial information. I was
- 14:31Speaker 4: amazed at the information I can get.
- 14:34Speaker 1: That's outstanding.
- 14:35Speaker 4: It's fast. Yes.
- 14:36Speaker 10: Outstanding.
- 14:37Speaker 1: Outstanding. I got a world of respect for you, just
- 14:40Speaker 1: so you know. I really do. You're a smart guy.
- 14:44Speaker 4: If George is listening, no more talk of puts.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Well, all right. Thank you, my friend. Appreciate it.
- 14:50Speaker 4: Okay.
- 14:50Speaker 1: Back in a minute.
- 14:53Speaker 11: Youngstown's news weather and talk station 570 wkbn i tell.
- 14:58Speaker 1: You you'll i really think that some of this stuff
- 15:02Speaker 1: should be taught better in schools these days including basic
- 15:06Speaker 1: economics for people how to manage money and this kind
- 15:10Speaker 1: of stuff as far as uh spending it and saving
- 15:15Speaker 1: it and uh Really, you shouldn't be able to get
- 15:19Speaker 1: out of high school without understanding some basic fundamentals, Roth IRAs,
- 15:22Speaker 1: and just planning for your retirement. You get in a
- 15:25Speaker 1: guy like that first caller, that guy's just really, really, really,
- 15:29Speaker 1: really smart. And obviously, he wasn't born that way. He
- 15:34Speaker 1: had to learn all of that. And it certainly has
- 15:38Speaker 1: paid off for him in his life. You're on the air.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Hey, Ron, how you doing?
- 15:43Speaker 1: See, we go from one extreme to the other. We
- 15:45Speaker 1: go from that first caller who's very, very smart and
- 15:48Speaker 1: did a lot with his life. Now we go to
- 15:49Speaker 1: Bubba Ganoush.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 15:52Speaker 9: Thanks for the compliment.
- 15:53Speaker 1: You're more than welcome. Thank you for calling.
- 15:55Speaker 9: The more I listen to you, the more I want
- 15:56Speaker 9: to commit suicide.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Well, I don't want you to do that.
- 16:01Speaker 12: Well, then don't talk bad about me.
- 16:04Speaker 1: I wasn't talking bad. I was just saying we went
- 16:07Speaker 1: from this caller.
- 16:07Speaker 9: That was stupid.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Did I imply that?
- 16:11Speaker 5: Yes, you did.
- 16:12Speaker 1: I said I just went from this really very intelligent caller,
- 16:15Speaker 1: and now we go to you.
- 16:18Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, the guy that tells you about things is right.
- 16:24Speaker 9: Like Rush Limbaugh. Like I'm 98% right when I tell
- 16:28Speaker 9: you something's going to happen.
- 16:29Speaker 1: You know, oddly enough, this is maybe your psychic. I
- 16:32Speaker 1: was just so weird just talking. I was just talking
- 16:34Speaker 1: with Chief Engineer John Clark during the end of the
- 16:37Speaker 1: Clay and Buck show. And we were both sitting here
- 16:40Speaker 1: talking about how Rush Limbaugh was really one of a kind.
- 16:43Speaker 1: I really wish Rush was still around. I'd be curious
- 16:45Speaker 1: what he has to say about so much of this stuff.
- 16:47Speaker 9: Well, it's information he got from God, remember?
- 16:50Speaker 2: Yes.
- 16:51Speaker 1: I mean, he was just... Rush was really good at
- 16:54Speaker 1: what he did, and I just can't make the connection
- 16:59Speaker 1: with Clay and Buck. I mean, Clay and Buck certainly
- 17:02Speaker 1: aren't Rush Limbaugh. I mean, Rush Limbaugh is.
- 17:03Speaker 9: Just a— There's no connection at all.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Right, in a league of his own, let me put
- 17:07Speaker 1: it that way. People that have been around a long time,
- 17:10Speaker 1: there'll never be another Paul Harvey. There'll never be another
- 17:13Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh.
- 17:14Speaker 9: Hey, Ron, if you could ever play that thing you
- 17:17Speaker 9: constantly played on, Paul Harvey, there was a segment on
- 17:21Speaker 9: If I Was the Devil.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Yes.
- 17:23Speaker 9: If you can play that, I mean, that lines up
- 17:26Speaker 9: everything right now. You know, and he did that, what
- 17:29Speaker 9: was it, back in 1964?
- 17:30Speaker 2: Yep.
- 17:30Speaker 9: Yeah, pull that out and play it every now and
- 17:34Speaker 9: then if you want to. At least once a show
- 17:36Speaker 9: to let people know that, you know, if I was
- 17:40Speaker 9: the devil, you know, and then he says what he does,
- 17:43Speaker 9: and I'm like, oh, my, this is what's happening now.
- 17:45Speaker 2: Yep.
- 17:46Speaker 9: You know?
- 17:46Speaker 1: Yes, it is.
- 17:48Speaker 9: But, yeah, so you had a nice Father's Day?
- 17:52Speaker 1: Yes, I did. Yes, I did. So, let's see. Father's
- 17:57Speaker 1: Day was... Actually, kind of Saturday and Sunday. It was
- 18:02Speaker 1: really good. Yes, I got my... I got chicken francais.
- 18:07Speaker 1: You know, I mentioned we get it to go over
- 18:11Speaker 1: to Anton's Kitchen in Boardman. Chicken francais. It's the Saturday
- 18:15Speaker 1: special for $ 13. 99. And it's just delicious. So I got
- 18:20Speaker 1: to enjoy some of that. Stand by. Back with Bubba
- 18:23Speaker 1: Ganoush in a minute. And more of your calls on
- 18:26Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570 WKVN. NewsRadio 570 WKVN.
- 18:27Speaker 9: All right.
- 18:27Speaker 1: 335 here on a Monday afternoon. Okay. Speak your piece, please.
- 18:39Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah. Let me go on a couple things. Number one,
- 18:41Speaker 9: in Arabic, the food that represents mother is leaven, which
- 18:48Speaker 9: is yogurt that you eat as an appetizer. And then
- 18:54Speaker 9: the food that represents father is baba ghanoush. How about that?
- 18:58Speaker 9: So that was kind of ironic.
- 19:00Speaker 2: Okay.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Very odd.
- 19:02Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 19:02Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah. So anyhow... On that note, the other thing
- 19:07Speaker 9: I want to mention is the memorandum of understanding. Only
- 19:13Speaker 9: Trump knows what's going on. I can tell you that
- 19:15Speaker 9: right now. So he's not going to screw us. So
- 19:19Speaker 9: everything's going to be okay. Thirdly, the Guardians are playing
- 19:23Speaker 9: in Chicago at 740, which doesn't interrupt your show. And
- 19:28Speaker 9: Williams is pitching against Kaye. And the weather's perfect. You know,
- 19:33Speaker 9: sunny and 60 degrees, 66 degrees out there. So it
- 19:37Speaker 9: should be a good game tonight.
- 19:39Speaker 1: Let's hope for a victory. I'm all for it.
- 19:42Speaker 9: Well, I'm looking for a sweep, okay, because their hitting
- 19:46Speaker 9: is there. They just got to wake it up.
- 19:48Speaker 2: That's all. All right.
- 19:49Speaker 1: Thank you, Bubba Ganoush. Appreciate it. You're on the air. Hello. Hello.
- 19:57Speaker 2: Yes. Yes, this is Brian Massey with the Committee to
- 20:00Speaker 2: Abolish Ohio Property Taxes.
- 20:02Speaker 1: Hi, Brian Massey. This is the man behind the ground zero.
- 20:07Speaker 1: This is the man behind the constitutional amendment, getting the
- 20:12Speaker 1: signatures for getting it on the ballots next year, right?
- 20:19Speaker 2: Yes, that's the reason for my call, Mr. Verb. I
- 20:22Speaker 2: wanted to make sure that all the patriots in your...
- 20:26Speaker 2: the listening audience have the truth of what's happening. I
- 20:32Speaker 2: did make an announcement that we don't have our 620,000
- 20:38Speaker 2: signatures yet, which was our goal, to get it on
- 20:40Speaker 2: the November 2026 ballot, but all of the signatures are
- 20:45Speaker 2: still good, and then we're going to continue to collect
- 20:48Speaker 2: signatures to get it on the November 2027 ballot. Many
- 20:52Speaker 2: people are thinking just because we didn't get it on
- 20:55Speaker 2: the 26th ballot, that we're just going to fold our
- 21:00Speaker 2: pretend and go home and nothing could be further from
- 21:02Speaker 2: the truth. We've made the promise and the commitment to
- 21:05Speaker 2: the citizens of the state of Ohio, and we're never
- 21:09Speaker 2: going to break a promise. We're going to keep collecting signatures.
- 21:13Speaker 2: We just need their help to sign the petition.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Absolutely. Sign the petition. Now, how many signatures do you have, Brian?
- 21:25Speaker 2: Well, let me address that. I get that all the time.
- 21:29Speaker 2: And here's the reason that I don't give out the
- 21:33Speaker 2: signatures by county.
- 21:36Speaker 1: Not by county, but you had a press conference. The
- 21:39Speaker 1: one you had before this last one.
- 21:42Speaker 2: I gave out a 305,000 number.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Right.
- 21:45Speaker 2: And I'm asked that all the time. You know, how
- 21:49Speaker 2: many signatures do we have? And... I gave that number,
- 21:56Speaker 2: but that's the last time I'm going to give a
- 21:58Speaker 2: number because whether people know it or not, we are
- 22:02Speaker 2: at war. We are at war with our legislators, our
- 22:05Speaker 2: executive branch, and our judicial branch, and the state government.
- 22:09Speaker 2: And when you're at war, you never give the enemy
- 22:11Speaker 2: any intel. Now, that may sound harsh, but when I've
- 22:15Speaker 2: got politicians such as senators saying, that are poisoning the well,
- 22:22Speaker 2: telling the citizens and the politicians in Lake County specifically,
- 22:28Speaker 2: don't support this amendment, don't sign the petition, and tell
- 22:31Speaker 2: 100 people that you know not to support this amendment. Unfortunately,
- 22:38Speaker 2: I've come to the conclusion, Mr. Verb, that we're being
- 22:41Speaker 2: run by a bunch of socialists down there in the statehouse,
- 22:44Speaker 2: and I ask the question, two questions I ask. Is
- 22:48Speaker 2: private property ownership important? And the second question I ask,
- 22:54Speaker 2: is our 250-year experiment, is it over? If people do
- 23:02Speaker 2: not see the importance of private property ownership and what
- 23:08Speaker 2: is happening as our government, our state and local governments,
- 23:14Speaker 2: they have grown to the size that the Public sector
- 23:17Speaker 2: has outgrown the private sector's ability to pay for services.
- 23:21Speaker 1: Right.
- 23:23Speaker 2: And that was told to me by a former state
- 23:29Speaker 2: rep and Lake County Commissioner, Ron Young, on his last
- 23:32Speaker 2: day of office as commissioner. And he asked me to
- 23:35Speaker 2: record him. And what I heard him say, and I've
- 23:38Speaker 2: got it on video, he said, the two top priorities
- 23:41Speaker 2: of government is to protect itself and to grow. And
- 23:45Speaker 2: that's been in my head ever since he mentioned it
- 23:50Speaker 2: to me. And I'm going to try to develop some
- 23:54Speaker 2: statistics to show people how our government in the state
- 24:01Speaker 2: of Ohio and our local governments continue to grow. And
- 24:05Speaker 2: we can't sustain it. And for politicians to say that
- 24:09Speaker 2: if a senior can't afford their property taxes, they should
- 24:13Speaker 2: sell their home and move into an apartment, and that'll
- 24:16Speaker 2: help with the housing shortage in Ohio. I find that
- 24:19Speaker 2: to be very cold and appalling.
- 24:22Speaker 4: Right.
- 24:23Speaker 1: I do as well. But, you know, 305 signatures is
- 24:26Speaker 1: a lot of signatures. You want to double that, though.
- 24:29Speaker 1: You would like to get to, what, 600,000 signatures?
- 24:32Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, 620. But, Mr. Perlman, when you think
- 24:37Speaker 2: about it, When you think what the founders of this nation,
- 24:44Speaker 2: what many of our citizens have given up in the
- 24:47Speaker 2: many wars, the World War II, look what all of
- 24:51Speaker 2: those veterans did to give us this freedom and liberty.
- 24:55Speaker 2: This is more than a dollar and cent issue, Mr. Verb.
- 24:58Speaker 2: This is a freedom and liberty issue, and people must
- 25:01Speaker 2: understand that. So in World War II, look at all
- 25:05Speaker 2: the sacrifices. In Vietnam, in the Korean War, and in
- 25:10Speaker 2: the far too many wars in the Middle East, what
- 25:13Speaker 2: they have given up. And all we're asking people, and
- 25:18Speaker 2: we're saying, well, getting 620,000 signatures, that's really too much.
- 25:23Speaker 2: That's asking way too much. That's nothing compared to what
- 25:28Speaker 2: the people have done over the years. To give us
- 25:32Speaker 2: our freedom and liberty.
- 25:34Speaker 1: All right.
- 25:35Speaker 13: Right.
- 25:35Speaker 1: Oh, I think it's doable. You're overshooting a mark on
- 25:40Speaker 1: 600-something thousand. You just got a buffer in there, which
- 25:43Speaker 1: is an important thing to have. That is correct.
- 25:48Speaker 2: We do believe. Now, I know the fear-mongering will continue,
- 25:54Speaker 2: and they'll say, well, we're not going to have police
- 25:56Speaker 2: and fire, and our schools are going to close down,
- 25:58Speaker 2: and Well, we say to our legislators, please follow your
- 26:04Speaker 2: oath of office. And that oath of office, they are
- 26:07Speaker 2: supposed to follow the Ohio Constitution. Article 6, Section 2
- 26:14Speaker 2: of the Ohio Constitution says that it is the state's
- 26:17Speaker 2: responsibility to fund the schools. And what they have done
- 26:21Speaker 2: is they've pushed it off into the local communities. The
- 26:25Speaker 2: other thing that they have done that people are not
- 26:27Speaker 2: aware of is that was in 2011, Governor Kasich, in
- 26:32Speaker 2: order to solve a shortfall in the state budget, they
- 26:37Speaker 2: cut the local government fund, which pays for police, fire,
- 26:41Speaker 2: and roads. And they've never increased those funds. But we
- 26:49Speaker 2: are number one in something in the country, and that
- 26:52Speaker 2: is the funding for public libraries. The state legislators are
- 26:57Speaker 2: spending more money on public libraries than they are local
- 27:00Speaker 2: government funds. So we have to wake the people up
- 27:07Speaker 2: to say, do you want to save freedom and liberty
- 27:11Speaker 2: for future generations? That's really what it's coming down to.
- 27:15Speaker 2: And ask yourself... Why is Ohio, why don't we really
- 27:19Speaker 2: lead the nation? Why are we always following what another
- 27:24Speaker 2: state is going to do? Do we have leaders or
- 27:29Speaker 2: do we have followers?
- 27:31Speaker 9: Right.
- 27:32Speaker 1: Listen, you're singing in the choir here because I say
- 27:36Speaker 1: it all the time. We have made it difficult. You
- 27:40Speaker 1: often talk about senior citizens. I'm here to say we've
- 27:43Speaker 1: made it difficult for young people to be able to
- 27:45Speaker 1: buy a home. Because when you take a look at
- 27:50Speaker 1: the inflated price, I'm not even talking about the interest rate.
- 27:53Speaker 1: Because when I was young, if you got a 6.5%
- 27:56Speaker 1: interest rate, you thought you were doing pretty good. I mean,
- 28:00Speaker 1: it wasn't like the negative it is today. So forget
- 28:04Speaker 1: the interest rate. It's just how expensive the inflation on
- 28:07Speaker 1: the home. Now, there's many arguments that I hear. like, oh,
- 28:12Speaker 1: it was so much easier for the boomers and that
- 28:13Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Well, it's all relevant to how much
- 28:16Speaker 1: money you were making a year and what the house cost,
- 28:18Speaker 1: just as it is today. So it probably is more
- 28:22Speaker 1: difficult today based on these inflated prices that we got
- 28:25Speaker 1: going on. But with that being said, we're making it
- 28:28Speaker 1: difficult in large part because a large part of that
- 28:31Speaker 1: monthly payment is property taxes. For young people, Brian. I mean,
- 28:36Speaker 1: if you take a look, they were relatively insignificant for many,
- 28:40Speaker 1: many years. People didn't pay much attention to it. And
- 28:44Speaker 1: now you take a look at it, and all of
- 28:45Speaker 1: a sudden you realize, oh, by the way, if you
- 28:47Speaker 1: buy this house, here's what your payment is for your mortgage,
- 28:51Speaker 1: but also built in to what you've got to give
- 28:54Speaker 1: the bank is through your escrow accounts, maybe $ 300, $ 400
- 28:58Speaker 1: a month in property taxes on top of the payments. Well,
- 29:01Speaker 1: now that can be the game changer in whether people
- 29:05Speaker 1: can afford that particular home because you've still got maintenance
- 29:09Speaker 1: on the home and utilities on the home.
- 29:10Speaker 8: Right.
- 29:11Speaker 3: So I agree.
- 29:12Speaker 2: I mean, I've talked to many of the young people
- 29:18Speaker 2: in the under 40 age years of age. And it's
- 29:22Speaker 2: now they're saying to me, well, they just the opportunity
- 29:26Speaker 2: to buy their first house. So, you know, they're they're frustrated.
- 29:30Speaker 2: But why would they why would the younger people why
- 29:33Speaker 2: would they stay in Ohio? If they can't get the
- 29:36Speaker 2: American dream in a while, you know, they're in. be
- 29:40Speaker 2: moving to Tennessee or some of the other states. Right.
- 29:42Speaker 1: Well, a lot of people are moving. Tax-wise, it's better,
- 29:47Speaker 1: many people say, in South Carolina, North Carolina. But let's
- 29:50Speaker 1: be realistic. In Ohio, our property values are still, you
- 29:54Speaker 1: can still afford a home there. Certainly in this community here,
- 29:59Speaker 1: and I'm not talking about in the inner city, I
- 30:01Speaker 1: mean in the suburbs, it's still affordable to be able
- 30:04Speaker 1: to buy a home versus California, versus Vegas, versus some
- 30:09Speaker 1: sections of Florida, where you're looking at even more just
- 30:13Speaker 1: to purchase the home. You follow me? Absolutely. I'll be
- 30:18Speaker 1: the first guy to say Ohio's not a bad place.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Ohio weather is pretty decent weather. I mean, I don't
- 30:25Speaker 1: mind the Ohio weather. I don't mind the change in seasons.
- 30:28Speaker 1: I think Ohio is a nice place to be, and
- 30:31Speaker 1: I think housing is still a realistic thing for most
- 30:35Speaker 1: people to be able to afford a home in Ohio
- 30:38Speaker 1: that has a yard and some area to be in.
- 30:41Speaker 1: So we're not in a bad spot as far as
- 30:44Speaker 1: that's concerned, but we're making it so difficult based on
- 30:49Speaker 1: incomes and how much of your monthly payment is property taxes. So,
- 30:54Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just talking about young people being able
- 30:56Speaker 1: to get into a home, just as we talk about
- 30:58Speaker 1: old people being able to stay in their home. This
- 31:01Speaker 1: is not how this should work. This is ridiculous. Government's
- 31:05Speaker 1: gotten too big, Brian. It's doing too much and it's
- 31:07Speaker 1: costing too much money. And frankly, we simply can't afford
- 31:11Speaker 1: to keep putting that burden on all our citizens.
- 31:15Speaker 2: Period. 100%. 100% agree. I asked the question of our
- 31:21Speaker 2: leaders in the state, the income taxes, and I don't
- 31:29Speaker 2: think I've really talked to anybody throughout the state, the
- 31:32Speaker 2: average citizen, where they're saying, well, I want my income
- 31:36Speaker 2: taxes to be gone.
- 31:38Speaker 8: Uh..
- 31:38Speaker 2: So i i i don't understand and even the income
- 31:41Speaker 2: tax is bringing in about ten point nine billion dollars
- 31:45Speaker 2: and uh... i remember when i have to the of
- 31:48Speaker 2: a big rama for me why he wants to eliminate
- 31:50Speaker 2: income tax and how they going to replace those dollars
- 31:53Speaker 2: and that's what i always get and that's how you
- 31:56Speaker 2: can replace the property tax dollars and his response to
- 31:59Speaker 2: me was well we're going to replace into the same
- 32:01Speaker 2: way you can replace the uh... the property taxes so
- 32:04Speaker 2: he didn't have an answer other than you know, it's
- 32:10Speaker 2: the statement of we're going to eliminate the income tax
- 32:13Speaker 2: for the state of Ohio because other states are doing it.
- 32:17Speaker 2: And is that the way to go? I dare say
- 32:21Speaker 2: that I think they should be focusing on the property taxes,
- 32:26Speaker 2: to be sure. And I think the state legislators need
- 32:30Speaker 2: to increase the local government fund distribution, because there's no
- 32:36Speaker 2: problem in generating revenue in the state. It is a
- 32:39Speaker 2: spending problem and a prioritization of how they're spending the money,
- 32:44Speaker 2: in my opinion.
- 32:45Speaker 1: Well, I think you're spot on. I think you're spot on.
- 32:49Speaker 1: And if you can get to, well, as I understand it,
- 32:53Speaker 1: I'll just put it out there, I understand we've met
- 32:56Speaker 1: the requirements of having enough signatures in the 44 counties.
- 33:00Speaker 2: Yeah, we blew by that some time ago.
- 33:03Speaker 1: So now it's just a matter if we collect more
- 33:06Speaker 1: signatures in Mahoning and Trumbull and Portage counties and those
- 33:10Speaker 1: kind of areas, it doesn't matter. We don't need to
- 33:13Speaker 1: collect signatures from the other 44 counties or worry about that.
- 33:18Speaker 1: Now it's just the quantity of signatures that we need
- 33:20Speaker 1: that can be from one area.
- 33:22Speaker 2: Yeah, that's 100% correct. But I want to say Mahoning, Trumbull,
- 33:28Speaker 2: And thanks to you, and Denise DeFavio, and Mark Grangerstein,
- 33:32Speaker 2: and all of the other patriots, and Madeline, and throughout
- 33:36Speaker 2: the state, that they're great patriots. And they are committed
- 33:44Speaker 2: to getting this across the finish line for the people.
- 33:48Speaker 2: not only of Mahoney and Trumbull, but for all of
- 33:50Speaker 2: the state of Ohio. And that's what we want. We
- 33:52Speaker 2: want freedom and liberty for this and future generations.
- 33:59Speaker 1: Just to give people the opportunity to vote on it.
- 34:01Speaker 1: That's what you're saying. We want to put it on
- 34:03Speaker 1: the ballot, give you the chance to vote on it.
- 34:06Speaker 1: It's as simple as that.
- 34:08Speaker 2: The polls are saying that 60 to 70 percent of
- 34:12Speaker 2: the people at the polls that we have heard, those
- 34:14Speaker 2: are not our polls, that... If 70% of the people
- 34:18Speaker 2: would vote to abolish it, that means people are very,
- 34:21Speaker 2: very serious about this, and they want their freedom and liberty.
- 34:25Speaker 1: Brian, I'll tell you, I don't think government's going to
- 34:27Speaker 1: be happy until they have all of your money.
- 34:30Speaker 2: It's never enough. You're right.
- 34:33Speaker 1: It's just totally and completely out of control. And I
- 34:35Speaker 1: sit back and say, look at the burden it is now.
- 34:38Speaker 1: I can't imagine. Where's it going to be 10 or
- 34:40Speaker 1: 15 years from now for your adult children at that time?
- 34:44Speaker 1: This is ridiculous.
- 34:45Speaker 2: 100%.
- 34:47Speaker 1: 100%.
- 34:49Speaker 2: I thank you so much.
- 34:50Speaker 1: I know. I have a world of respect for you
- 34:53Speaker 1: and what you're doing, admiration for you, and you don't
- 34:57Speaker 1: know how much respect and love I have for you.
- 34:59Speaker 1: You're a great American, and I thank you for your call, Brian.
- 35:01Speaker 1: Appreciate you.
- 35:02Speaker 2: God bless you, and I'll keep you posted as we
- 35:04Speaker 2: move forward.
- 35:04Speaker 1: Please do.
- 35:04Speaker 2: Thank you, Brian.
- 35:05Speaker 1: All right. Brian Massey, truly a guy trying to make
- 35:08Speaker 1: our lives better. We'll be back. All right. You're on
- 35:11Speaker 1: the air. Hello.
- 35:19Speaker 2: Hello. Yes.
- 35:20Speaker 1: Hello.
- 35:21Speaker 4: Ron.
- 35:22Speaker 1: Yes.
- 35:23Speaker 12: I'll be brief. This it's been a while for me
- 35:28Speaker 12: to get back to you on this. The last election
- 35:30Speaker 12: cycle with Shepard.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Yes. You mean for commissioner?
- 35:37Speaker 2: Yes.
- 35:37Speaker 1: OK.
- 35:38Speaker 14: Sure.
- 35:38Speaker 8: So.
- 35:39Speaker 12: So I agree with a lot of things that you said.
- 35:44Speaker 1: Do me a favor. Just stand by for one second.
- 35:46Speaker 1: Let me get my news out of the way. I've
- 35:48Speaker 1: got to do that, and then I'll come right back
- 35:49Speaker 1: to you. I'll start with you, okay? Can you bear
- 35:51Speaker 1: with me?
- 35:52Speaker 5: Okay.
- 35:53Speaker 1: I'm going to come right back and pick..
- 35:54Speaker 5: Is Iran agreeing to let international nuclear inspectors back into
- 35:57Speaker 5: the country? ABC's Tom Sufi Burridge is in Lucerne.
- 36:00Speaker 15: Those inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency were already
- 36:04Speaker 15: very much part of the verification process. So, I mean,
- 36:07Speaker 15: it's not an additional win by the Trump administration in
- 36:10Speaker 15: terms of these negotiations. And the vice president was very...
- 36:15Speaker 15: he conceded that there is still a long way to go.
- 36:18Speaker 5: In Qatar, officials say 13 people are dead and at
- 36:20Speaker 5: least 66 injured following reports of an explosion at a
- 36:24Speaker 5: factory in Ras Lafan. The Interior Ministry says the incident
- 36:27Speaker 5: occurred due to a technical malfunction during operations. Less than
- 36:31Speaker 5: two weeks before July 4th festivities marking America's 250th birthday,
- 36:37Speaker 5: problems persist with the multi-million dollar renovation of the Lincoln
- 36:41Speaker 5: Memorial Reflecting Pool. Here's ABC's Elizabeth Schulze.
- 36:45Speaker 16: Just two weeks after President Trump completed his more than
- 36:47Speaker 16: $ 16 million renovation of the iconic reflecting pool, he now
- 36:52Speaker 16: says it will need to be drained and repaired immediately.
- 36:55Speaker 16: Last week, pieces of that new coating that the president
- 36:59Speaker 16: applied to describe as an American flag blue color began
- 37:02Speaker 16: peeling off. Trump now claims that vandalism is to blame,
- 37:06Speaker 16: but he's provided no evidence to prove it.
- 37:08Speaker 5: Tributes are coming in for legendary music producer Clive Davis
- 37:12Speaker 5: following his death today. He is credited for discovering music
- 37:15Speaker 5: icons including Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, along with Barry Manilow
- 37:20Speaker 5: and Billy Joel. Davis in a 2011 interview remained humble
- 37:24Speaker 5: when asked about his so-called Midas touch for finding and
- 37:27Speaker 5: nurturing huge stars.
- 37:28Speaker 1: I never knew I had them. I never knew this
- 37:30Speaker 1: was going to turn out to be a talent or
- 37:33Speaker 1: a gift. It was a pure accident. It was a
- 37:36Speaker 1: lucky break.
- 37:37Speaker 5: Davis was 94 years old. You're listening to ABC News.
- 37:42Speaker 1: Okay, Ron. So, Shepis.
- 37:44Speaker 17: Okay.
- 37:44Speaker 1: This involves, like, kind of this involves you and the
- 37:46Speaker 1: boss lady. Me and the boss lady. What's that? Me
- 38:07Speaker 1: and a boss lady. What about her?
- 38:09Speaker 12: Yes, yes, yes. So, first of all, I agree with you.
- 38:12Speaker 12: Me and you are on the same page 90, 95%
- 38:15Speaker 12: of the time.
- 38:16Speaker 1: Well, that's good.
- 38:17Speaker 12: And same with the boss lady. I like the boss lady,
- 38:19Speaker 12: you know, but I take exception to what you two
- 38:23Speaker 12: said about Shepis and his career. You said, and correct
- 38:28Speaker 12: me if I'm wrong, you said that he shouldn't be
- 38:32Speaker 12: using law enforcement in his ads. And you also, and
- 38:35Speaker 12: the boss lady, I believe, said that He was just
- 38:38Speaker 12: a security guard.
- 38:40Speaker 1: No, he was a prison guard.
- 38:41Speaker 12: Am I on the money with what I'm saying?
- 38:44Speaker 1: No, you're not on the money. First of all, we're
- 38:46Speaker 1: beating a dead horse. That was during the commissioner's race.
- 38:48Speaker 1: But in reality, I was saying that I think it's
- 38:51Speaker 1: a little misleading. His ads were at that particular time
- 38:55Speaker 1: implying that he wasn't an FBI agent or he wasn't a.
- 39:01Speaker 8: U.S.
- 39:01Speaker 1: Marshal or this kind of stuff. You know, I can
- 39:03Speaker 1: say I'm in federal law enforcement or I'm in Homeland
- 39:07Speaker 1: Security while I'm a TSA agent at the airport. Things
- 39:13Speaker 1: can be deceptive in their things. He worked at a
- 39:15Speaker 1: prison and was a prison counselor. And that's all well
- 39:20Speaker 1: and good. There's nothing wrong with that. It's something that's necessary.
- 39:26Speaker 1: And so we got to have a place to lock
- 39:28Speaker 1: people up and make no mistake about it.
- 39:30Speaker 2: It.
- 39:30Speaker 1: But say exactly what it is. Don't don't. That's what
- 39:35Speaker 1: I'm saying. Be more specific in it as opposed to
- 39:38Speaker 1: putting something out there. That that isn't as specific. But anyway,
- 39:43Speaker 1: that was the bottom. The bottom line is he ran
- 39:47Speaker 1: a pretty good campaign. He came in second for Mahoning
- 39:50Speaker 1: County Commissioner. I mean, this is a Republican primary, just
- 39:53Speaker 1: as people know. So he came in second to Christine Oliver.
- 39:57Speaker 1: But he ran a good campaign. It was really a
- 39:59Speaker 1: two person race. And he did. I thought he did respectable,
- 40:02Speaker 1: quite frankly, coming in, coming in second to Christine Oliver,
- 40:07Speaker 1: who ran an excellent campaign as well.
- 40:10Speaker 12: Well, I think Christine Oliver was, I think the person,
- 40:14Speaker 12: she won, and I think that's who should have won.
- 40:17Speaker 1: Well, I mean, obviously, that's how it comes. You know,
- 40:22Speaker 1: she ran a great campaign, and he ran a decent campaign, too.
- 40:26Speaker 1: I mean, you can't take that away from him. He
- 40:28Speaker 1: ran a pretty good campaign. Pretty good campaign to come
- 40:31Speaker 1: in second. I mean, these are primaries and they're a
- 40:34Speaker 1: good thing to have. It's where I give people credit
- 40:36Speaker 1: for entering a race and saying, OK, I'm going to
- 40:39Speaker 1: give it a shot. And then the primary determines who
- 40:42Speaker 1: your candidate is going to be. And that person will
- 40:44Speaker 1: go up against Lauren McNally, who's a Democrat. I just
- 40:49Speaker 1: can't imagine her... As a commissioner, but there's half of
- 40:56Speaker 1: this community. Basically, it's a 50-50 community. Half of it's Democrats.
- 41:00Speaker 1: You know, so. I mean, that's our process.
- 41:03Speaker 12: Back to Shepard. He wasn't just a cop. That was
- 41:06Speaker 12: his job toward the end of his career.
- 41:08Speaker 1: All right. Well, he worked at the prison.
- 41:09Speaker 12: He worked at. Yeah, he worked at the prison. He
- 41:13Speaker 12: took inmates out on medical trips.
- 41:14Speaker 8: Okay.
- 41:15Speaker 12: He did a lot of things in law enforcement, period.
- 41:17Speaker 1: When I think federal law enforcement, I think FBI. When
- 41:22Speaker 1: I think federal law enforcement, I think the federal in
- 41:25Speaker 1: that sense. Just be more specific about it. It doesn't
- 41:28Speaker 1: really matter. I mean, you know, and I'm not trying
- 41:31Speaker 1: to pick on you like I'm wasting my time, but
- 41:33Speaker 1: I'm wasting my time. The primary's over. She won.
- 41:37Speaker 2: Right.
- 41:37Speaker 1: And he came in second, so what... What else you
- 41:41Speaker 1: got to say?
- 41:41Speaker 12: My point being, I would like to invite you and
- 41:45Speaker 12: the boss lady to have a tour of SCI Elkton,
- 41:49Speaker 12: and you could see what law enforcement there is.
- 41:53Speaker 1: Okay, listen. Don't take offense to this, all right? Because
- 41:56Speaker 1: obviously you take a lot of this way too personal.
- 42:00Speaker 1: As I said then, as I would say now, When
- 42:04Speaker 1: I think of Lawn, the cop that's out there on
- 42:06Speaker 1: the beat, all right, and I'm not saying that prisons
- 42:10Speaker 1: don't have their issues, but you're in a controlled environment
- 42:13Speaker 1: in a prison, okay? A police officer is stopping a car.
- 42:17Speaker 1: A state trooper is stopping a car out on that highway,
- 42:21Speaker 1: and he doesn't know what he's getting into by himself
- 42:25Speaker 1: in the middle of the night without a lot of
- 42:27Speaker 1: guys anywhere close to him. And a lot of the
- 42:29Speaker 1: people that you got in your prison, that guy arrested
- 42:33Speaker 1: on his own. All I'm trying to say is that
- 42:36Speaker 1: there's a lot of different aspects of law enforcement. I
- 42:42Speaker 1: agree with you. I'm not going to get into all
- 42:47Speaker 1: of this craziness that you want me to get into
- 42:50Speaker 1: about it.
- 42:51Speaker 12: I agree with you 100% about the law enforcement. Why
- 42:55Speaker 12: don't you come down? Why don't you and the boss
- 42:56Speaker 12: lady come down? I'll give you the tour. And you
- 42:59Speaker 12: can see what it's all about inside there.
- 43:01Speaker 1: All right. Well, I don't have a problem with that.
- 43:04Speaker 1: My biggest problem is I don't have a lot of
- 43:06Speaker 1: spare time. That's my biggest problem.
- 43:08Speaker 12: Neither do I. Neither do I. But listen, I'd love
- 43:11Speaker 12: to take you in the box.
- 43:13Speaker 1: All right. Write me an email. It won't be any
- 43:16Speaker 1: time for a while. I can tell you that.
- 43:18Speaker 12: I'd love to take you in the box, lady, for
- 43:19Speaker 12: lunch afterward, too. So, okay, we can talk about it.
- 43:22Speaker 1: All right. But you have to understand that, you know,
- 43:26Speaker 1: as I said, it's not a slam even on cops.
- 43:28Speaker 1: There's a lot of dangerous jobs, too. It's not just cops.
- 43:31Speaker 1: You know, the guy that's roofing your house is a
- 43:34Speaker 1: dangerous job.
- 43:36Speaker 4: All right.
- 43:36Speaker 1: You know, I mean, this idea that the only dangerous
- 43:38Speaker 1: jobs are like somehow the government jobs. The guy that's
- 43:42Speaker 1: on your roof, you know, if you've got a 612 pitch,
- 43:44Speaker 1: that's a damn dangerous job.
- 43:46Speaker 2: All right.
- 43:48Speaker 1: The guy climbing these cell towers or these radio towers,
- 43:51Speaker 1: four or five hundred feet in the air, that's a
- 43:53Speaker 1: damn dangerous job. The electrician, the guy that goes out
- 43:57Speaker 1: for Ohio Edison in the middle of a storm to
- 43:59Speaker 1: put your power back on in a storm is a
- 44:02Speaker 1: damn dangerous job. So, you know, I mean, everybody's got
- 44:05Speaker 1: a unique thing. Just be specific about it. You know,
- 44:08Speaker 1: I mean, like, for example, you could say, well, I'm
- 44:10Speaker 1: a lawyer. OK, well, what kind of lawyer are you?
- 44:13Speaker 1: Because there's various kinds of lawyers. You know, and they're
- 44:16Speaker 1: all different. Well, I'm an estate attorney. Well, that's much
- 44:18Speaker 1: different than a criminal attorney. You follow me? I mean,
- 44:22Speaker 1: you get into broad categories, but the categories are different.
- 44:26Speaker 1: It's like alcohol. Here's alcohol. Well, what is alcohol? Well,
- 44:30Speaker 1: wine is alcohol. Beer is alcohol. But so is Jack Daniels.
- 44:34Speaker 1: Just be more specific. You know, that is all. You've
- 44:38Speaker 1: got to have a place to lock people up. You've
- 44:40Speaker 1: got to have prisons. The cops have got to have
- 44:42Speaker 1: some place to take somebody. They've got to lock them up,
- 44:45Speaker 1: and you've got to have prison guards and people that
- 44:48Speaker 1: deal with that situation. Okay? I'm not saying it's a
- 44:52Speaker 1: walk in the park, but needless to say is just
- 44:58Speaker 1: be specific about it.
- 44:59Speaker 12: Ron, I retired from down there, okay? My job was
- 45:03Speaker 12: not for the faint of heart. OK, well, tell me
- 45:06Speaker 12: what those cons day in and day out. OK, but
- 45:09Speaker 12: it's pretty intimidating when you walk on that compound and
- 45:13Speaker 12: you've got 800 inmates walking around the compound open. OK,
- 45:17Speaker 12: you know, it's not. And yet it's also intimidating when
- 45:20Speaker 12: you're one officer per 300 inmates inside the housing unit. So,
- 45:25Speaker 12: you know, it's it's, you know.
- 45:29Speaker 1: I'm sure there's not just one. I would imagine you
- 45:32Speaker 1: have other help there and other tactics set up.
- 45:36Speaker 12: What I'd really like to do is let you see
- 45:38Speaker 12: it like when it's 4 to 12 shift, when there's
- 45:40Speaker 12: 1,800 inmates on the compound or 1,800 inmates open compound
- 45:44Speaker 12: and there's only 20 or 30 staff. I'm just saying it's,
- 45:49Speaker 12: you know. things can kick off any time, too.
- 45:54Speaker 1: Things can happen, but that's the job. That's what you
- 45:57Speaker 1: signed up for. I hate to say it, but that's
- 46:00Speaker 1: what you retired from. You retired after how long? You
- 46:03Speaker 1: retired sooner than somebody could in the private sector, right?
- 46:07Speaker 12: Oh, yeah. They force you out of federal law enforcement.
- 46:10Speaker 1: Right, so There's the perk that you got as opposed
- 46:14Speaker 1: to waiting until you're 67 or 65 or whatever, 62.
- 46:18Speaker 2: Yes, yes. All right.
- 46:20Speaker 12: So I retired, and then I hooked up with your boy,
- 46:23Speaker 12: John Arnold, just so you know.
- 46:25Speaker 1: Well, okay. And John's made a lot of people a
- 46:28Speaker 1: lot of money. You think that's an easy job? I mean,
- 46:32Speaker 1: here's what I've learned in life, folks. There's a lot
- 46:34Speaker 1: of hard jobs. You know, there's a lot of hard jobs.
- 46:39Speaker 1: And they're difficult jobs in many, many different ways. All right?
- 46:44Speaker 1: And I just don't– I can't imagine being an emergency
- 46:49Speaker 1: room doctor dealing with some kid that comes in all
- 46:52Speaker 1: messed up from an auto accident. Can you? Or trying
- 46:55Speaker 1: to save that kid's life?
- 46:57Speaker 12: Oh, yeah.
- 46:58Speaker 1: Do you think I want to go down and hang
- 47:00Speaker 1: out at the emergency room and watch him do his job?
- 47:03Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I'm glad people are there. that do something
- 47:07Speaker 1: like that. I wouldn't want to go hang out with
- 47:11Speaker 1: my wife dealing with cancer people day in and day out,
- 47:15Speaker 1: day after day, which reminds you how precious life can
- 47:18Speaker 1: be and how quickly life can end. You know, it
- 47:22Speaker 1: all depends on your priorities. Most people don't understand what
- 47:26Speaker 1: somebody does until they actually go do the job. You know,
- 47:30Speaker 1: you don't understand what's involved in being a carpenter until
- 47:32Speaker 1: you're a carpenter. A lot of people look down on
- 47:36Speaker 1: so many jobs. Listen, I need the garbage guy. He
- 47:39Speaker 1: doesn't ever get a day off. If they get a
- 47:41Speaker 1: Thursday holiday, he's got to work on the weekend to
- 47:43Speaker 1: make that day up. I mean, there's so many jobs
- 47:45Speaker 1: that we need everybody in the roles category. that they have.
- 47:52Speaker 1: It's just, uh, I don't know that that would be
- 47:55Speaker 1: the end of it, but, uh, I appreciate your invite.
- 47:58Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 47:59Speaker 12: When you try to walk in someone else's shoes and
- 48:01Speaker 12: see what they do for it. You know what I mean?
- 48:03Speaker 12: All right.
- 48:03Speaker 1: All right. But I'm not going to dwell on it.
- 48:05Speaker 1: You know, I cannot, I cannot go with everybody on
- 48:08Speaker 1: their job. All right. I got one here that I
- 48:11Speaker 1: got to deal with. This occupies so much of my time.
- 48:14Speaker 9: All right.
- 48:14Speaker 1: Thanks for your call. You're on here.
- 48:17Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 48:18Speaker 8: Ron, um, You know, options are speculation, not long-term investing.
- 48:24Speaker 8: The average investor should not be speculating in options. The
- 48:29Speaker 8: average investor should be patient long-term buy and hold investor.
- 48:34Speaker 8: And SpaceX is the most overvalued stock in history. And
- 48:39Speaker 8: since SpaceX lost $ 5 billion last year, if you divide
- 48:44Speaker 8: the price per share by its earnings, which is zero,
- 48:48Speaker 8: The price-to-earnings ratio is infinity. Now, if that's not an
- 48:52Speaker 8: overvalued stock, I don't know what is. Now, the time
- 48:56Speaker 8: to short-sell an investment is when it is overvalued and overbought. Now,
- 49:03Speaker 8: the option guy should have short-sold, or even better, bought
- 49:07Speaker 8: put options on SpaceX when it reached overbought territory, which
- 49:12Speaker 8: was over $ 200 a share around 2 o'clock last Tuesday.
- 49:16Speaker 8: After that, SpaceX dropped to almost... $ 171 a share, a
- 49:22Speaker 8: huge drop in price. Anyone who shorted SpaceX or bought
- 49:27Speaker 8: put options when it reached over-bought territory, they would have
- 49:31Speaker 8: made a lot of money. And Michael Burry, the author
- 49:35Speaker 8: of The Big Short, said he's considering shorting SpaceX when
- 49:40Speaker 8: Michael Burry, Ron, was the guy that made $ 1 billion
- 49:44Speaker 8: shorting subprime real estate.
- 49:46Speaker 1: Well, then let him do it. You're so far over
- 49:49Speaker 1: my head, I can't even carry on a conversation with
- 49:51Speaker 1: you about it. All right? I'm just going to be realistic.
- 49:54Speaker 1: I understand when the one caller says, say, George says
- 49:56Speaker 1: enough of the stock stuff that's over everybody's head, and
- 49:59Speaker 1: I agree with that.
- 50:01Speaker 8: Yeah, that's why I said the average person should not
- 50:04Speaker 8: be speculating.
- 50:05Speaker 12: Right, right.
- 50:05Speaker 1: I mean, most people don't understand this, including me.
- 50:09Speaker 8: Yeah, now people that call the show that think they're
- 50:12Speaker 8: experts in investing.
- 50:14Speaker 1: Well, everybody's got their own thing. I talked to a
- 50:17Speaker 1: gentleman earlier on the program. Is he an expert? Well,
- 50:20Speaker 1: I can tell you he's done extremely, extremely, extremely well
- 50:23Speaker 1: in seven-figure wells. So I'll listen to what he has
- 50:28Speaker 1: to say. I'll listen to what you have to say.
- 50:30Speaker 1: But I'm not going to dwell on puts and shorts
- 50:32Speaker 1: and stuff that most people don't understand. That's an old
- 50:37Speaker 1: category with guys like you and Arnold and that guy
- 50:40Speaker 1: and people like that. The average person buys and sells,
- 50:43Speaker 1: and that's about it.
- 50:46Speaker 8: Well, that's why I've always said John Arnold gave your
- 50:50Speaker 8: listeners great advice. Don't listen to these people that call
- 50:54Speaker 8: the show that think they're experts on investing. Listen to
- 50:59Speaker 8: John Arnold or the guys at Rockport Wealth Management, which
- 51:04Speaker 8: are certified financial planners. Those are the people to listen to.
- 51:08Speaker 1: Well, you know, I just wish people would have a basic...
- 51:15Speaker 1: I'll say this again. I would say that if you are...
- 51:19Speaker 1: if you were 18, 19, 20, or whatever, just getting
- 51:22Speaker 1: started out working, you should have a Roth IRA, period.
- 51:26Speaker 1: I mean, if I had to give advice, any young
- 51:29Speaker 1: person should have a Roth IRA and try to put
- 51:31Speaker 1: $ 7, 000 in it a year. If you can't put seven
- 51:34Speaker 1: in it, put five. If you can't put five, put four.
- 51:37Speaker 1: If you can't put four, put three. Whatever you can do,
- 51:40Speaker 1: open a Roth IRA if you're a young person. Because
- 51:43Speaker 1: when you become my age, you will be, in most cases,
- 51:46Speaker 1: a multimillionaire if you make the commitments to put money
- 51:50Speaker 1: in that every year and have the discipline to do it,
- 51:53Speaker 1: it grows tax-free.
- 51:55Speaker 8: Well, that's great advice, and I'll go one step further.
- 52:01Speaker 8: I'm bullish on undervalued stocks, bearish on overvalued stocks, and
- 52:06Speaker 8: neutral on fair-valued stocks. So if you had a professional
- 52:10Speaker 8: like John Arnold, for example, I have four mutual funds.
- 52:16Speaker 8: that only invest in undervalued stocks. Like Warren Buffett said,
- 52:22Speaker 8: you just start saving at a young age, and by
- 52:25Speaker 8: the time you're ready to retire, you could be a millionaire.
- 52:28Speaker 12: Right.
- 52:29Speaker 1: I mean, even with the Buffett strategy, if Roth is
- 52:32Speaker 1: a great... The government's given people a Roth IRA, which
- 52:36Speaker 1: means you take tax dollars and you put it in,
- 52:38Speaker 1: and it grows... And you're tax-free, so all your gains
- 52:42Speaker 1: are tax-free. Plus, you're not required at 73 to start
- 52:46Speaker 1: taking it out. It's the greatest tool you could have
- 52:50Speaker 1: for anybody that's, what, 20, 30, 40, 50. You should
- 52:54Speaker 1: have a Roth IRA. Stand by, Frank. Hang on a minute.
- 52:56Speaker 1: Back after this. News, weather, and talk station, 570 WKBN.
- 53:00Speaker 1: Back to it. News Radio 570 WKBN, 425 here in
- 53:03Speaker 1: the afternoon.
- 53:03Speaker 3: Hello.
- 53:04Speaker 1: You're on the air.
- 53:04Speaker 5: Hello.
- 53:10Speaker 1: Hello.
- 53:11Speaker 10: How are you?
- 53:13Speaker 1: I am well. How are you?
- 53:15Speaker 10: I'm all right. It's a little cold and muggy out there.
- 53:19Speaker 10: I don't know what's going on with the weather here, Ron, but.
- 53:22Speaker 1: It's a little bit annoying. Listen, Grandma, it's 65 degrees.
- 53:27Speaker 1: It's not that bad.
- 53:28Speaker 10: I'm avoiding a sweatshirt on right now.
- 53:30Speaker 2: It's freezing.
- 53:30Speaker 1: Well, that's odd that you would say that because, you know,
- 53:34Speaker 1: I sit here in the radio station, which... You know,
- 53:37Speaker 1: with this air conditioning, this room can be like a
- 53:41Speaker 1: meat cooler. So I, too, have a sweatshirt on just
- 53:43Speaker 1: because of the air conditioning.
- 53:45Speaker 6: Do you have a little space heater?
- 53:47Speaker 18: No.
- 53:47Speaker 1: Because that would really make you an old man. No,
- 53:50Speaker 1: I don't need a space heater. Listen, listen here. Are
- 53:54Speaker 1: you sure? Are you sure? I'm sure. You have a
- 53:56Speaker 1: sweatshirt on. I have a sweatshirt on. Only because I'm
- 53:59Speaker 1: in this. It depends where you. They keep these studios
- 54:02Speaker 1: kind of on a cool side. So it is what
- 54:04Speaker 1: it is. I'll get over it. Trust me.
- 54:07Speaker 10: You know, it has come to my attention that you've
- 54:12Speaker 10: met my sister and have talked with her a couple times.
- 54:16Speaker 1: Your sister? Mm-hmm. I have met her.
- 54:20Speaker 10: Mm-hmm. Is that hilarious?
- 54:22Speaker 1: I don't remember. Where did I meet her?
- 54:25Speaker 10: She said that you might remember that she told you
- 54:27Speaker 10: if you wanted good Italian.
- 54:29Speaker 6: Food to go over to the Ladies of the Dukes
- 54:33Speaker 6: in Newcastle.
- 54:36Speaker 1: When was this? I got to try to recall this.
- 54:39Speaker 1: I very well could have met her.
- 54:41Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 54:42Speaker 4: Well, no, you did.
- 54:44Speaker 1: You did. Really?
- 54:46Speaker 2: You did.
- 54:46Speaker 6: You will know her mother-in-law.
- 54:48Speaker 1: I will know. Really?
- 54:53Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 54:53Speaker 1: Now I'm very intrigued.
- 54:56Speaker 8: I know.
- 54:57Speaker 2: I know.
- 54:58Speaker 10: I would know her.
- 54:59Speaker 1: I would know her mother-in-law.
- 55:02Speaker 6: And you would know my sister to fear, probably.
- 55:04Speaker 2: You probably would know her to fear. All right.
- 55:09Speaker 1: What a small world this is.
- 55:10Speaker 13: I know.
- 55:12Speaker 6: Crazy.
- 55:13Speaker 1: Maybe it's God's hand saying, okay, you'll meet this sister,
- 55:19Speaker 1: the sister of the future boss lady, the great caller
- 55:23Speaker 1: on the program, the intelligent boss lady. She never said, hey,
- 55:27Speaker 1: my sister's really smart and really informed when it comes
- 55:30Speaker 1: to all of this government issues.
- 55:32Speaker 6: Well, my sister that you met, actually, is just as... Well,
- 55:36Speaker 6: first of all, she's a lot spicier than I am.
- 55:38Speaker 2: I think so.
- 55:41Speaker 1: I can't remember her being that smart when I met her.
- 55:47Speaker 6: She's very smart, and she's very spicy.
- 55:50Speaker 2: Really?
- 55:50Speaker 10: She's loud. In fact, oh, my God, yeah. I mean,
- 55:53Speaker 10: she's very politically informed, right? But, yeah, I thought that
- 56:01Speaker 10: was so funny.
- 56:02Speaker 1: I mean, why do you suspect then both of you,
- 56:05Speaker 1: you know, so many people, particularly, I hate to stereotype,
- 56:08Speaker 1: particularly women don't pay attention to a lot of this stuff.
- 56:12Speaker 1: I mean, what motivates you guys, which I think is
- 56:14Speaker 1: admirable because I think it's part of being a good citizen,
- 56:17Speaker 1: to be an informed citizen and pay attention to all
- 56:19Speaker 1: of this kind of stuff?
- 56:21Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I think I told you before, for years,
- 56:24Speaker 6: I mean, for over a decade.
- 56:25Speaker 1: Stand by. Stand by. Stand by. I'm coming back to
- 56:28Speaker 1: the boss lady. NewsRadio 570, WKVN and Ron Verbs. Stay tuned.
- 56:33Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570, WKVN.
- 56:35Speaker 17: This report is sponsored by Taking a Walk Podcast.
- 56:39Speaker 8: All right.
- 56:40Speaker 1: I'll get back to Frank. I remember I had him
- 56:41Speaker 1: on hold, but I got to go to the boss
- 56:43Speaker 1: lady here. All right. So fire away, boss lady. What
- 56:46Speaker 1: seems to be on your mind today?
- 56:49Speaker 6: No, I really don't have much on my mind.
- 56:51Speaker 2: I heard the last caller who, you know.
- 56:53Speaker 1: He wants to take you to the prison. He wants
- 56:56Speaker 1: to take you to the prison. How about that guy? Listen,
- 57:01Speaker 1: if I was in.
- 57:01Speaker 10: Charge of that prison, everybody would be in lockdown 24-7
- 57:04Speaker 10: because I am taking none of their crap.
- 57:08Speaker 4: Right.
- 57:08Speaker 10: I mean, I get it.
- 57:09Speaker 6: Those guards have a tough job. I'd be to listen.
- 57:11Speaker 10: I'd have my billy club out the whole time, and.
- 57:15Speaker 2: They'd be in lockdown.
- 57:16Speaker 6: They'd never get out of their cell.
- 57:17Speaker 2: It'd be a very easy job for.
- 57:18Speaker 6: Me, and I know I can't do that, so that's
- 57:20Speaker 6: why I probably wouldn't get it.
- 57:22Speaker 1: I think you'd be very good at it because look
- 57:25Speaker 1: at how well-trained your husband is. I mean, you got
- 57:27Speaker 1: him under control. I'm sure he was an independent thinker
- 57:30Speaker 1: and a normal guy until all hell broke loose.
- 57:36Speaker 2: No. Yeah.
- 57:37Speaker 6: I mean, no ill will towards Jeff. It's a campaign.
- 57:40Speaker 10: I mean, you know.
- 57:42Speaker 1: Right. I mean, it's right. I'm just basically saying that
- 57:47Speaker 1: you're not a sworn law enforcement officer like a like
- 57:51Speaker 1: a cop or a state trooper or anything like that.
- 57:53Speaker 1: It's just it's just trying to be. precise. Let me
- 57:57Speaker 1: put it that way. I don't know, but it is
- 57:59Speaker 1: what it is. Any, you know, it is what it is,
- 58:01Speaker 1: but we shall see. I mean, you got Christine Oliver
- 58:04Speaker 1: running against, uh, Lauren McNally. So that's, that's a ways
- 58:07Speaker 1: off yet. I mean, when that's November, it's June. Now
- 58:10Speaker 1: I'm not even thinking about it. Are you?
- 58:13Speaker 10: No, I haven't been thinking about it and I haven't
- 58:15Speaker 10: seen much anything from, uh, um, McNally at all. I
- 58:20Speaker 10: don't even, you know, I, I don't know. I mean,
- 58:23Speaker 10: I haven't even heard a word from her on the
- 58:25Speaker 10: campaign trail.
- 58:26Speaker 18: Have you seen anything?
- 58:28Speaker 1: The only thing I've ever seen is Amy Acton, they say,
- 58:31Speaker 1: in the polling is doing very well. It's either neck
- 58:34Speaker 1: and neck with Ramaswamy or she's slightly ahead, which it
- 58:39Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me. If you remember when they were talking
- 58:42Speaker 1: about having Tim Ryan into the race, I said that
- 58:46Speaker 1: I think that would be a bad idea. And I said,
- 58:48Speaker 1: I think Amy Acton will do better than Tim Ryan
- 58:50Speaker 1: will do because first, I hate to say it. Many
- 58:53Speaker 1: women will vote for her because she's a woman. She
- 58:56Speaker 1: has a very likable approach when she's speaking to people.
- 59:00Speaker 1: She's got a lot of great assets to be to
- 59:03Speaker 1: be the candidates. And I think that's why Tim Ryan
- 59:06Speaker 1: decided he wasn't going to run, because he realized that's.
- 59:10Speaker 1: he wouldn't be as– I think that when push came
- 59:13Speaker 1: to shove, the party was trying to make him their candidate.
- 59:16Speaker 1: But I don't think they realized how good a candidate
- 59:19Speaker 1: they had in her as far as name recognition and
- 59:22Speaker 1: just her style in general. And she's doing quite well
- 59:25Speaker 1: in the polls now. I would never vote for her,
- 59:26Speaker 1: but there's plenty of people that will. Exactly, and I
- 59:30Speaker 1: think you're right.
- 59:31Speaker 6: Her disposition is pleasant, but we all know what she
- 59:34Speaker 6: did there. We all know how pleasant that was. I mean,
- 59:38Speaker 6: there's companies still recovering for what her part in COVID.
- 59:43Speaker 6: I was just laughing about it with somebody this morning
- 59:47Speaker 6: about it.
- 59:48Speaker 9: I mean, I don't know.
- 59:49Speaker 6: But she does have a pleasant disposition and demeanor about
- 59:52Speaker 6: her when she's approaching people.
- 59:54Speaker 1: And I don't know what there is, like Ramaswami, here's
- 59:57Speaker 1: his negatives. Tell me if you agree or disagree with that.
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: I think a lot of people look at Ramaswami as
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: an outsider. They don't look at him as like an
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: Ohioan to a large extent. They view him as kind
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: of an outsider person. or a carpetbagger, and they view
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: him as a guy that just wants to become governor
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: to try to run for president at some point. And
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: he upsets a lot of people, like, with his support
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: of these HB1 visas and this kind of stuff. So,
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: I mean, he's... I think that's right.
- 1:00:27Speaker 10: I think they see him as an outsider for sure,
- 1:00:29Speaker 10: Silicon Valley, you know, that he's a rich boy. But,
- 1:00:36Speaker 10: you know, listen, you know, he's definitely educated. I don't
- 1:00:41Speaker 10: agree with him on everything, and honestly, I'm going to
- 1:00:44Speaker 10: vote for him.
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:00:45Speaker 6: You know, sometimes you've got to make that choice, the
- 1:00:47Speaker 6: lesser of two evils.
- 1:00:49Speaker 8: Right.
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: It's not the ideal candidate, but..
- 1:00:53Speaker 6: No, not for me either, and I really loved him.
- 1:00:57Speaker 6: I mean, if you would have told me a year
- 1:00:58Speaker 6: ago that I would have been saying this to you today,
- 1:01:00Speaker 6: I would have not believed... I mean, I really loved him.
- 1:01:04Speaker 10: He's kind of got..
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. Then you get into, if
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: you look at some of this stuff, I mean, here comes,
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: I laugh, boss lady, when I see these Sherrod Brown
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: commercials on TV. If I'm elected, I'm going to do
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: this and I'm going to do this. And I sit
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: back and I think to myself, you were there forever.
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: Why didn't you do it when you were there? I mean,
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: he's running like he's never been. And it's the hypocrisy
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: of it. And if I get elected, I'm going to
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: make sure that you can't do insider trading. Well, wait
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: a minute. You were there forever. Why didn't you take
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: care of that when you were there? And you know
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: if you get reelected, you're going to do nothing about it.
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: That you're the typical politician that will tell people what
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: they want to hear, but you won't do a damn thing.
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: And people will fall for it.
- 1:01:48Speaker 6: That's the sad part.
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's like he's been there so long, and
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: he's got name recognition, and he's I don't know. It's
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: hard for me to imagine. Why would I vote for
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: him when he supported everything Biden believed in, the open border?
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: I mean, he defended Biden. He's a far-left liberal wacko.
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: All of this kind of stuff with you've got to
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: change the words. You can't use this word anymore because
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: it's got to be generic. It's got to be birthing parent.
- 1:02:22Speaker 18: Doesn't that scare you?
- 1:02:24Speaker 6: Because that scares me. My God, I hope to gosh,
- 1:02:27Speaker 6: you know, Ohio does. I mean, it's this election and that,
- 1:02:31Speaker 6: you know, our presidential election, because we could be in trouble.
- 1:02:37Speaker 10: I mean, I look to all that.
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: I can't vote for Sherrod Brown. I can't vote for
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: a Democrat. I mean, he is as wacky as Joe
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: Biden was on all that changing the words around and
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff. So now I can't vote
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: for him. So, you know, I vote for Houston. And
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: there's no way he can vote for Amy Acton, so
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: I've got to vote for Vivek. Because, I mean, he's
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: just a better choice, in my opinion. I don't want
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: Ohio to become this far-left progressive state where she wants
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: to take it.
- 1:03:04Speaker 10: That's exactly right. I mean, and they are definitely far-left.
- 1:03:10Speaker 10: And if we think about how people are complaining about
- 1:03:12Speaker 10: their taxes now, Amy Acton is far-left. All the spending
- 1:03:18Speaker 10: she can dream of. We'll just have more and more
- 1:03:20Speaker 10: and more of it.
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: So enough of all of that kind of stuff. And
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: I want to see what happens when this deal gets,
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: as this whole mess goes on in the Middle East
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: and see where everything lands in a couple weeks from
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: now as far as where are we going to be
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: on gas and oil.
- 1:03:40Speaker 10: I've had it with Iran and Israel.
- 1:03:42Speaker 6: I'm so done with both of them. I don't even
- 1:03:45Speaker 6: know where to begin. And Netanyahu, I don't even... Listen,
- 1:03:50Speaker 6: I was the one who was screaming, oh my God.
- 1:03:52Speaker 10: Poor Israel, poor Israel. I mean, they took these women
- 1:03:55Speaker 10: and children out of their bed. And I was totally against.
- 1:03:58Speaker 6: Palestine, Hezbollah, all the wackos over there. And then now
- 1:04:03Speaker 6: it's getting to the point where it's like..
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: You know, Benjamin Netanyahu, he.
- 1:04:09Speaker 6: Will not stop.
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: Like, he won't stop.
- 1:04:12Speaker 10: He never led good enough. You know, it'd be good enough.
- 1:04:14Speaker 6: Like, if he throws one more missile, I'm going to
- 1:04:17Speaker 6: lose my mind. And, you know, this is costing us,
- 1:04:20Speaker 6: and we're involved in everything. It's just frustrating. I don't
- 1:04:23Speaker 6: even care who's right anymore. I don't even care.
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: I'm with you 100% now. Let me shift gears. Now,
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: did your husband have a great Father's Day?
- 1:04:32Speaker 6: He did.
- 1:04:33Speaker 10: We had a great day, yeah.
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: Did you? Yep.
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: Make any food or did he go out and get it?
- 1:04:39Speaker 6: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>.
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: You're a joy.
- 1:05:07Speaker 10: Oh, thank you.
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 1:05:10Speaker 7: Bye.
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: She's a joy. Frank, are you there?
- 1:05:12Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm there, Ron.
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I punched you out of rotation. But go
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: ahead with your thoughts, my friend.
- 1:05:18Speaker 8: Shame on you.
- 1:05:19Speaker 10: I know.
- 1:05:21Speaker 8: Hey, remember last week you asked me, did I buy SpaceX?
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:05:27Speaker 8: Because as soon as it opened for trading, it was
- 1:05:30Speaker 8: already way up.
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:05:32Speaker 8: And not SpaceX because I can't. to specific advice but
- 1:05:37Speaker 8: any investment that has a big one wait for profit-taking
- 1:05:41Speaker 8: to come in why do you know spacex hit a
- 1:05:44Speaker 8: high of two hundred and twenty four dollars a share
- 1:05:48Speaker 8: and it uh... went closed at a hundred and eighty
- 1:05:52Speaker 8: seven dollars a share last thursday and today it's down
- 1:05:57Speaker 8: a whopping sixteen point four three percent in other words
- 1:06:03Speaker 8: anybody that it bought spacex right after it went public,
- 1:06:08Speaker 8: would probably be losing a small.
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: Amount of money.
- 1:06:11Speaker 8: And anybody that's bought SpaceX a few hours later or
- 1:06:15Speaker 8: the next day or wherever, would have big losses right now.
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: It's at 154 a share, SpaceX.
- 1:06:23Speaker 4: Exactly.
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: The IPO was 135, so I suspect if you bought it,
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: then you made money. But it's one of those things
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: that's going to be interesting if you would buy it.
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: If you were younger, buy it and sit on it
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: for a period of time. I mean, I'm talking... You
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: never know. How many times have you heard people say,
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: I wish I would have bought Amazon when it was
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: just getting started. I wish I would have bought Nvidia
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: when it was first getting going. Everybody looks back on
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: hindsight and says, I wish I would have got in then.
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: And well, I think SpaceX has that same type of
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: aura about it. That's all I'm saying is a lot
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: of people say, oh, I don't care if it's 154.
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: I'm going to buy it and hang on to it
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: for 10 years or 20 years or whatever, because they
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: think it'll be. that it'll be a huge number as
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: time goes on and they'll make a bunch of money.
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: And they might!
- 1:07:13Speaker 8: Well, you know, you had that one caller that said
- 1:07:16Speaker 8: that I was bearish on the stock market and he's bullish. Well,
- 1:07:21Speaker 8: when it comes to AI stocks, I actually own some
- 1:07:26Speaker 8: of the largest AI stocks, but that's because they're undervalued.
- 1:07:30Speaker 8: Most AI stocks are way overvalued. And You know, when
- 1:07:36Speaker 8: you talk about data centers, data centers will make all
- 1:07:40Speaker 8: the profits and homeowners will pay.
- 1:07:43Speaker 12: All the bills.
- 1:07:44Speaker 8: Now, AI revenues, Ron, are orders of magnitude lower than
- 1:07:49Speaker 8: the sums being invested. Right now, most AI stocks, companies
- 1:07:58Speaker 8: are not working out. There's a few that are going
- 1:08:00Speaker 8: to be real big, probably SpaceX. But most of them,
- 1:08:05Speaker 8: if investors buy these AI stocks because they're in the
- 1:08:09Speaker 8: vogue and they Listen to these callers that call to
- 1:08:12Speaker 8: show how great AI stocks are. They'll probably end up
- 1:08:16Speaker 8: losing money like the dot-com bubble.
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean, AI's a coming frontier. I mean,
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: I think everyone would agree that's where things are heading.
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: But like I said to that other guy, Curry's the
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: guy's name. I was listening to Curry, the, what do
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: you say, oil guy. And Curry seems to think.
- 1:08:37Speaker 8: That the exact— You talking about Al Berman?
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: Not Al Berman. No, I'm talking about Curry.
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: Oh, Curry.
- 1:08:42Speaker 4: Yeah, Curry.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: I forget his first name. Where he's saying you should be,
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: he thinks the segment to be in is oil and
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: minerals and electrons, which is electricity. I mean, because there's
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: such demand for all of this stuff and there will
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: be huge demand for oil because we deplete. so much
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: of the oil reserves, both here and in other countries.
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: The oil reserves have been being drained, so you've got
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: to restock those. And he just thinks oil is the
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: place to be, and minerals, rare earth minerals. And I think,
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: am I saying it right? I think electrons is what
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: they say, basically electricity for the other one. He thinks
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: that's the segment to be in.
- 1:09:27Speaker 8: Well, I agree because I have a lot of gold, silver, platinum, palladium.
- 1:09:34Speaker 8: I have a lot of copper, that's correct. Also some
- 1:09:38Speaker 8: uranium and nuclear energy stocks. But right now, most rare
- 1:09:43Speaker 8: earth elements are overvalued, and there's not a lot of them.
- 1:09:47Speaker 9: Right.
- 1:09:48Speaker 8: Stocks that trade out there. But, yeah, the day will come.
- 1:09:51Speaker 8: But you're absolutely right, because like copper, like you mentioned,
- 1:09:55Speaker 8: the demand for copper is forecasted to be enormous. And
- 1:10:00Speaker 8: Warren Buffett, he has recently bought a lot of copper stocks, too.
- 1:10:06Speaker 8: So that's why, you know, I tell people that..
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: It's just a big demand. It's a big demand for
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: all this AI stuff that needs a lot of those
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: rare earth minerals.
- 1:10:17Speaker 8: You want to buy and hold for the long run.
- 1:10:19Speaker 8: For example, I bought an oil..
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: Hey, Frank, you can't buy and hold for the long
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: run because there ain't a lot of long run left, buddy.
- 1:10:30Speaker 8: Well, maybe it's good I sold this oil and gas
- 1:10:34Speaker 8: oil exploration company after... went to overbought territory because now
- 1:10:41Speaker 8: it had a big drop, and most analysts have downgraded
- 1:10:45Speaker 8: it from buy to sell. So I got out just
- 1:10:48Speaker 8: in time.
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: There you go. S & P 500 falls, this big
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: tech and SpaceX struggle. All right, Fort Lauderdale, Frank, go
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: take care of them young women. He's got like a
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: harem down there, a harem of young women in Fort Lauderdale.
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: Let me see here. Good afternoon, 449 in the afternoon.
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: It's Monday. Can you believe it's almost the end of
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: June already? It's June 22nd. I mean, it's not that
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: far before we hit the end of June. Then we're
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: into July, then August, then the fair, and then in
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: the blink of an eye, there goes another. I know
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: I'm rushing it. I know I'm rushing it. But, I mean,
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: it's almost the end of June. And I kind of
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: dig this weather. I mean, I like it. I loved
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: last week on how it was windy and cool and
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. And even today, it's 64
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: and cool. We need the rain. It's been awful dry.
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: So I'm not bellyaching about it. Ohio weather's rather pleasant.
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: My daughter was telling me down in Floridia, I should
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: ask for Lauderdale Frank. She was saying down in the
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: Orlando area, it was just really, really hot and humid yesterday. Gee,
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: there's a shocker. You're on the air.
- 1:11:56Speaker 14: You're right.
- 1:11:56Speaker 18: The summer is flying by, and pretty soon it'll be
- 1:11:59Speaker 18: time for the Canfield Fair.
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: I talked to Brian Massey today. I know.
- 1:12:05Speaker 18: I told him to call you today and update you.
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: Well, he did. And so I found out, exactly as
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: you said, we got enough signatures in 44 counties. Now
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: it's just getting volume, and you can get them from
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: any of the counties, the volume you get. Basically... What's
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: the actual number that's needed?
- 1:12:29Speaker 18: The actual number is 413,488.
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: Right, and he wants to go 200,000 over it, basically.
- 1:12:36Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: I mean, so if you think..
- 1:12:38Speaker 18: The next governor's race could change that number, that required number,
- 1:12:41Speaker 18: because if less people vote, then we'll need a little
- 1:12:44Speaker 18: bit less than 413,488. But then again, if more people vote,
- 1:12:48Speaker 18: we'll need a little bit more. It goes by the
- 1:12:51Speaker 18: governor's rate.
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: And you've got a year from now until next when, June, July?
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: Yep, June 1st.
- 1:12:57Speaker 18: We've got to get him in by June 1st to Brian.
- 1:13:00Speaker 18: And I have a new signing station, another signing station
- 1:13:03Speaker 18: in Mahoning County, as if it wasn't enough that I
- 1:13:05Speaker 18: have Creekside Auto.
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: Stand by. Wait a minute. Stand by. I've got to
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: do my break, and then I'll come back to you.
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: I'm the hardest working woman trying to change your property taxes.
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: Back with Denise after this. All right, so you have
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: some more signing stations, you said.
- 1:13:24Speaker 18: Yes, I picked up another one over the weekend. It's
- 1:13:26Speaker 18: in Cornersburg, which is pretty convenient for a lot of people.
- 1:13:30Speaker 18: It's called JMJ Spiritual Connection. It's like the last brick
- 1:13:34Speaker 18: and mortar Christian bookstore around. That's on 3434 Canfield Road.
- 1:13:39Speaker 18: They're open Monday through Saturday. So, I mean, you know,
- 1:13:43Speaker 18: I'm trying to make it as easy as I can.
- 1:13:47Speaker 18: You can go there. You can go to Leonard Truck
- 1:13:49Speaker 18: and Trailer in North Jackson. You can go to Creekside
- 1:13:51Speaker 18: Auto Repair in Struthers. You can go to Southgate Pizza
- 1:13:53Speaker 18: in Boardman. And Bursland Outfitters in Alliance. So we've got
- 1:13:58Speaker 18: five from Mahoney County, which is pretty good. But the
- 1:14:00Speaker 18: other thing you could do, and especially if you've already signed,
- 1:14:03Speaker 18: is just download a petition and circulate among your friends
- 1:14:07Speaker 18: and family and neighbors, okay? Because if you can get
- 1:14:09Speaker 18: us 20 or 30, if everyone does that across the state,
- 1:14:13Speaker 18: we're going to easily make this happen. Just go to axohtax.com,
- 1:14:18Speaker 18: and you can download a petition, and if you have questions,
- 1:14:20Speaker 18: give me a call.
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: Well, there you go. Man, this is terrific. I mean,
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: I'm glad you're plugging along. I mean, it seemed to
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: me just in talking to Brian Massey, you have a
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: lot to be proud of this community, Mahoning, Trumbull, Columbiana counties.
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: This area seems to be just a diamond in the
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: rough when it comes to getting signatures because of people
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: like you working so hard. You're out there in the
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: boss lady.
- 1:14:45Speaker 18: It's helping tremendous. I mean, that's the main piece right
- 1:14:48Speaker 18: there is your show.
- 1:14:48Speaker 17: I think.
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: Well, I think it's a good cause. Why would anybody
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: not want to sign? It's just to give you the
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: opportunity to vote on something. It's like signing somebody's petition
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: that's running for office. What's the big deal? It doesn't
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: mean you're going to vote for them or not vote
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: for them. You're just signing their petition to say put
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: their name on the ballot, give people the opportunity to
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: do that. It's not that big a deal.
- 1:15:11Speaker 18: Yeah. Well, we're doing this because our governor won't do this.
- 1:15:14Speaker 18: So we have to do it ourselves. So that's why
- 1:15:17Speaker 18: we're out here, you know, just collecting all the time.
- 1:15:20Speaker 18: And I'll do the canceled fare again. That's going to
- 1:15:22Speaker 18: be a go. But that's why we have to do
- 1:15:24Speaker 18: it ourselves. And people are fearful sometimes, like, well, what's
- 1:15:28Speaker 18: going to happen? Well, how about the state cut spending? Like,
- 1:15:31Speaker 18: that's the biggest thing they should do. And people can't
- 1:15:35Speaker 18: seem to get that through their heads because this is
- 1:15:37Speaker 18: the only way they've known it to ever be done,
- 1:15:39Speaker 18: and they think it can't be done any other way.
- 1:15:41Speaker 18: Nothing's further from the truth, you know?
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: Absolutely. Well, keep plugging along.
- 1:15:47Speaker 18: Yeah, I just wanted to comment. I mean, you know,
- 1:15:50Speaker 18: the reason Christine Oliver won the primary is because she
- 1:15:52Speaker 18: outworked her opponents.
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 1:15:54Speaker 18: I don't believe that's so hard.
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: It's not because of what you say on the radio.
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: She ran a great campaign is why she won. Thank you.
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: Appreciate it.
- 1:16:05Speaker 19: From ABC News, I'm Lindsay Davis, anchor of Prime, streaming
- 1:16:10Speaker 19: weeknights on ABC News Live. Peace negotiations between the U.S.
- 1:16:13Speaker 19: and Iran remain fragile, but both sides say progress was
- 1:16:17Speaker 19: made on the first round of talks.
- 1:16:18Speaker 10: The U.S.
- 1:16:19Speaker 19: Government also issued a 60-day waiver for sanctions on Iranian oil,
- 1:16:23Speaker 19: and talks now shift to Iran's nuclear program.
- 1:16:25Speaker 20: Vice President Vance announced in Switzerland earlier Monday that Iran
- 1:16:28Speaker 20: agreed to let international nuclear inspectors into the country. Now,
- 1:16:32Speaker 20: President Trump is weighing in, writing on social media that
- 1:16:34Speaker 20: Iran will have to, quote, agree to have major weapons
- 1:16:37Speaker 20: inspections in order to ensure nuclear honesty long into the future.
- 1:16:42Speaker 20: Inspections were included in the nuclear agreement reached with Iran
- 1:16:45Speaker 20: during the Obama administration in 2015. President Trump pulled the U.S.
- 1:16:49Speaker 20: out of that during his first term, and Iran then
- 1:16:52Speaker 20: began limiting inspections. Karen Travers, ABC News, the White House.

- 1:17:28Speaker 17: a 2013 interview, Davis talked about his greatest find, Whitney Houston.
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: He had seven number ones in a row.
- 1:17:35Speaker 4: First album sold 22 million.
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: Around the world.

- 1:19:40Speaker 13: movies Sunday.
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: Well, what did you see? Toy Story was a big
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: movie over the weekend, they said, as far as the
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: box office.
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: Okay, don't tell anybody.
- 1:19:50Speaker 13: Just between me and you, okay?
- 1:19:52Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 1:19:53Speaker 13: That's the movie I went and seen, and it's the
- 1:19:56Speaker 13: best one of all the tour stories.
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: Did you ever, did you see the Michael Jackson movie?
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: It was pretty good. Did you see that?
- 1:20:03Speaker 13: No, but I called you, right, to teach you something.
- 1:20:07Speaker 13: You need to get a pencil and a piece of
- 1:20:09Speaker 13: paper and write this down, okay?
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead.
- 1:20:13Speaker 4: I'm pretty old.
- 1:20:13Speaker 13: I remember a thing called Schoolhouse Rock.
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: Schoolhouse Rock, yes, I do remember that. The song, yes.
- 1:20:23Speaker 13: Well, it was like Sesame Street.
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: Yes. But it was before Sesame Street. Way before.
- 1:20:30Speaker 2: It was.
- 1:20:31Speaker 4: It was.
- 1:20:31Speaker 13: Now, listen. Now, there was this piece of paper. Let's
- 1:20:36Speaker 13: call this piece of paper William, okay?
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: Like a bill. Like a bill.
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: No, William.
- 1:20:43Speaker 13: William goes to the house. And they're like, they like you, William.
- 1:20:50Speaker 13: You know, we're going to send you over to the Senate.
- 1:20:53Speaker 13: So William goes over to the Senate. And the Senate says, well,
- 1:20:58Speaker 13: we like you. We ain't going to change nothing. So
- 1:21:01Speaker 13: we're going to send you to the White House. So
- 1:21:04Speaker 13: Will goes to the White House. He gets on the desk.
- 1:21:08Speaker 13: And the president signs him. And then he becomes a bill.
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: Could you sing it, maybe?
- 1:21:17Speaker 13: No, you understand it, right?
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:21:19Speaker 13: So now, whenever... I say, why doesn't President Trump release
- 1:21:32Speaker 13: the Epstein files? You guys say, well, the other presidents
- 1:21:38Speaker 13: had the same information, but they didn't do it.
- 1:21:42Speaker 2: How come?
- 1:21:43Speaker 13: I'm going to tell you why.
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: How come?
- 1:21:45Speaker 13: And then I'm going to.
- 1:21:46Speaker 4: Ask you a question.
- 1:21:49Speaker 13: The question is, none of them had a bill. They
- 1:21:53Speaker 13: never even had a William to tell them to do this.
- 1:21:58Speaker 13: President Trump signed a bill. that he was going to
- 1:22:03Speaker 13: release this. No other president in the history of the
- 1:22:07Speaker 13: United States has done that. So don't be asking me
- 1:22:10Speaker 13: why they didn't do it. The question I ask you is,
- 1:22:15Speaker 13: why did he sign that bill when he knew he
- 1:22:18Speaker 13: was not going to release the doggone Epstein file?
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: First and foremost, isn't it interesting that you blow cover
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: for when the Democrats were in charge? Why didn't they
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: introduce a bill which they could have passed? Just asking.
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: I just was looking for the news story. I was
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: reading it today where they've released three million documents from
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: the Epstein file. I mean, it's a huge amount of
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: stuff that has... been released. Let me see if I
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: can find that story for you. But I'm for releasing everything.
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: I don't care if it's Democrat or Republican, release everything.
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned.
- 1:22:59Speaker 13: Just like people said, Bill Clinton, how come you won't
- 1:23:04Speaker 13: go testify? Bill Clinton and Hillary and every Democrat had
- 1:23:08Speaker 13: to testify upon their oath with video and everything. But
- 1:23:14Speaker 13: every cabinet member of Donald Trump. When it comes to Epstein,
- 1:23:19Speaker 13: they're not up under oath. It's an interview, so they
- 1:23:22Speaker 13: can't be charged with perjury. And I guess this is
- 1:23:26Speaker 13: the most transparent presidency in the history of the United States.
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say so. No, I would definitely say so.
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: You know, what's so funny? Biden didn't have a cabinet
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: meeting for a year. Biden wasn't even running a country.
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: I mean, Biden didn't have press conferences, didn't have cabinet meetings,
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: wasn't running a country. And even when he saw him
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: at that Obama thing that he had, he felt like
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: a lost puppy up there on stage. So, I mean,
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: is this what you want to say was something you're
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: proud of? When the Democrats were in charge, they didn't
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: do anything with Epstein. And let's see. Wait a second.
- 1:24:11Speaker 9: Following.
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: Here you go. Well, why didn't they introduce one? I mean,
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: you would be saying if your party's in charge, OK,
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: following the passage and signing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act,
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: the U.S. Department of Justice released over three million pages
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: of investigative documents alongside more than 2000 videos and one
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: hundred and eighty thousand images. Okay. The DOJ amassed roughly
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: 6 million pages related to the Epstein investigation. While approximately
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: 3.5 million pages were made public, the remaining materials were
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: withheld for privacy, legal privileges, and the protection of victims' rights.
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: The files contain thousands of mentions of President Trump, including
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: unverified sexual assault allegations and FBI interview summaries. The White
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: House firmly dismissed these allegations as completely baseless and maintained
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: Trump has been exonerated by the files. The released documents
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: also detailed the financier's communications with numerous prominent individuals and
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: political figures across various spheres. So there you go. So
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: I guess I answer your question. Three million pages have
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: been released.
- 1:25:24Speaker 4: Do you trust J.D.
- 1:25:25Speaker 9: Vance?
- 1:25:25Speaker 13: Do you believe what J.D.
- 1:25:26Speaker 4: Vance said?
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: Every word. The DOJ right here. So wait a second.
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: The DOJ says six million pages related to Epstein investigation.
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: Three point five million pages were made public. The remaining
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: materials were withheld for privacy, legal privileges. Listen, I'm for
- 1:25:42Speaker 1: releasing everything. I think everything should be released and everybody
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: that was involved in it should be criminally charged. Now,
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: if you're asking me do I believe, I don't care
- 1:25:52Speaker 1: if it's a Democrat or..
- 1:25:53Speaker 14: I'm not asking you that.
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to answer my own question. Democrats or
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: Republicans will not do anything about it. It's a double
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: standard of justice.
- 1:26:01Speaker 13: I told you that J.D.
- 1:26:02Speaker 4: Vance..
- 1:26:03Speaker 13: I told you a month ago that J.D. Vance was
- 1:26:05Speaker 13: going to be the fall guy. Now, let me tell
- 1:26:07Speaker 13: you what J.D. Vance did. And evidently, he's not that smart.
- 1:26:12Speaker 13: There's a book... There's a book coming out called Resume Change.
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: Now..
- 1:26:18Speaker 13: The reporters from the New York Times, they were talking
- 1:26:22Speaker 13: to J.D. Vance, asking him about, because they've got recordings
- 1:26:26Speaker 13: and things, asking him about the meetings in the Situation
- 1:26:30Speaker 13: Room to cover Donald Trump. J.D. Vance said, well, I
- 1:26:34Speaker 13: don't know who leaked it. He didn't say there was
- 1:26:36Speaker 13: no meeting. He said, I don't know who leaked it.
- 1:26:39Speaker 13: So they got together in a situation room to cover
- 1:26:43Speaker 13: Donald Trump. Now, you don't have to believe me, just
- 1:26:45Speaker 13: like you don't have to believe me about him saying
- 1:26:47Speaker 13: he hurt his friends and all this other stuff, but
- 1:26:49Speaker 13: it's going to come out. You heard it here first.
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: All right, well, let's see if it comes out.
- 1:26:55Speaker 12: Love you, man.
- 1:26:56Speaker 13: All right.
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: I didn't hear you bellyaching anything. You know, listen, I
- 1:26:59Speaker 1: don't care if it's a Republican or Democrat. You keep
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: bringing up the Epstein thing. I'll say it a million times.
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: I think there's a double standard of justice in this
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: country and nothing's going to happen to these rich and
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: influential people that were involved in it. I've said it
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: to you time and time and time and time again,
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: and my answer will never be significant for you because
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: everything's about politics. I don't know why any of the
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: previous presidents didn't do more with the Epstein files. You
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: want to see, you want to seem to give them
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: all a pass when the Democrats were in charge and
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: they did absolutely nothing. Well, people can certainly make an argument.
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: Trump has released more information than anyone when it comes
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: to the Epstein files. And that's a true statement. So
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: with the Democrats, Billy, I can, why didn't they do
- 1:27:42Speaker 1: more when, They were in charge of everything. But I
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: go back to say, once again, this was an intelligence operation,
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: and it's reprehensible, in my opinion, that the intelligence community,
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: whether that's Israel and or the United States, or I
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: don't know what the combination is, but some people think
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: it was a foreign country that had an intelligence operation
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: with Epstein. to have these influential men engage in sexual
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: activity or cheat on their wives with underage girls. I mean,
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: we're talking 14-year-olds, 15-year-olds, 16-year-old girls. It's ridiculous. Whether that's
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: Prince Andrew, Bill Gates. I mean, every everyone was suspicious
- 1:28:39Speaker 1: of bill gates because of um his wife leaving him
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: i mean bill gates is bill gates is just one
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: strange dude but i don't care that They say, where
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: are these videotapes? And my concern is, who has all
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: of this information? I doubt if you'll ever know. And
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: how is it being used to manipulate these people to
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: do things? So that's all they're trying to say is
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: that I just think it's ridiculous that the intelligence community
- 1:29:09Speaker 1: created Epstein and has ties to both the American intelligence
- 1:29:18Speaker 1: community and the Israeli intelligence community. and would launch a
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: plot to engage in this type of activity with underage
- 1:29:27Speaker 1: girls to try to get something on political figures and
- 1:29:32Speaker 1: these rich guys to hold them hostage and manipulate them.
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: And it says something about their character. And it says
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: something about Any government would think that something like that
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: is a good idea. That's what I said, and that's
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: what I'll continue to say. And I'll go one step
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: further and say I doubt that you'll ever see any
- 1:29:59Speaker 1: justice brought to these victims as far as criminally these
- 1:30:06Speaker 1: men that engaged in this activity actually being charged with
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: the crime and paying for that crime. And that's why
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: I say it appears to me to be a double
- 1:30:14Speaker 1: standard of justice. And I will go one step further
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: and say this. I am deeply suspicious. As I've said
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: to you before, and I'm going to just tell you again.
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: I mean, it's odd to me that all of a
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: sudden we have this new tick out there that if
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: it bites you, you become allergic to meat. You can't
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: eat meat. Now, we haven't had this, and all of
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: a sudden we have this tick that is becoming more
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: and more prevalent that if it bites you, you simply can't.
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: You become allergic to meat. And I find it interesting
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: that Bill Gates, I think, I sit back and say,
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: here's Bill Gates that thinks that we shouldn't be in
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: all these wackos that bitch about the meat industry and
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: how bad it is for the climate or whatever. And
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: making this artificial meat. And then all of a sudden
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: you have a tech created that if it bites you,
- 1:31:21Speaker 1: you can't eat meat. And I just saw the other day,
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: there's a woman on television called the Pioneer Woman. She
- 1:31:30Speaker 1: does a cooking show. And her daughter's husband, so the
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: daughter of the woman that hosts the Pioneer woman's cooking
- 1:31:47Speaker 1: show her daughter married this young man and he is
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: and he's was bit by this tick and now he's
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: allergic to meat i believe they live in texas or
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: somewhere out there but it's not just in texas it's
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: around here and i've said this to you guys a
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: million times you want to you want to do something
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: really fascinating you want to actually put some effort forth
- 1:32:10Speaker 1: actually study where lyme disease started because i'm here to
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: tell you lyme disease was created Just, just as I,
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: how come Tulsi Gabbard, the story that Tulsi Gabbard put out,
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: I'd love to, I got to play that. I got
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: to get it. There's so much to get into this week.
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: How about where Tulsi Gabbard put out all the information
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: as she was leaving as a director of national intelligence
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: about Fauci and the coverup and the COVID situation. And
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: She put out all this information. I'm going to get
- 1:32:49Speaker 1: into this later this week. And basically, it's just ignored
- 1:32:55Speaker 1: by the mainstream media and a lot of other places,
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: which shows that we were funding this operation in China.
- 1:33:07Speaker 1: Fauci really should be in prison. Fauci should be absolutely 100%
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: in prison. People died as a result of that evil man.
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: And they died alone. And we still have a problem
- 1:33:21Speaker 1: as a result of it today. I'll talk more about
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: that and take more calls ahead.
- 1:33:25Speaker 11: Youngstown's News, Weather, and Talk Station, 570 WKBN.
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: So listen to this. All Americans, this should be the
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: lead story everywhere. After months of searching through intelligence community
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: holdings and files, Director of National Intelligence, Telsey Gabbard, is
- 1:33:41Speaker 1: revealing new evidence of longstanding United States government funding for
- 1:33:44Speaker 1: more than 120 bio labs in over 30 countries. These
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: bio labs include labs in Ukraine. As I've told you
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: time and time again, one of the reasons that Putin
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: invaded the Ukraine was to shut down the bio labs
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: that was there. I'll get into that some other time.
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: Garrett is revealing new evidence of longstanding United States government
- 1:34:05Speaker 1: funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries.
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: The biolabs include labs in Ukraine, which may be at
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: risk of compromise due to the ongoing Russian-Ukraine war. For example,
- 1:34:17Speaker 1: the intelligence community previously warned that a U.S.-funded biolab in
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: Ukraine likely housed dangerous pathogens and remained vulnerable to longstanding
- 1:34:27Speaker 1: threats of Russian attack. seizure, or damage. The newly declassified
- 1:34:31Speaker 1: evidence can be found here. Until now, evidence regarding the
- 1:34:37Speaker 1: full existence and funding of these laboratories had been knowingly
- 1:34:40Speaker 1: withheld from the American people. In other words, they lied
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: to you. They withheld this evidence from you. This is
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: why I got such respect for Tulsi Gabbard. The information
- 1:34:50Speaker 1: surrounding the existence, history, location, and funding of these US-funded
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: biolabs has been internationally covered up by powerful people falsely
- 1:34:58Speaker 1: claiming that they do not exist and accused anyone who
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: says otherwise to being a foreign asset and traitor to America.
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: Many of these US government-funded biolabs are currently or have
- 1:35:10Speaker 1: previously engaged in research using hazardous and highly contagious pathogens and,
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: in some cases, to include dangerous gain-of-function research with very
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: little visibility or oversight. President Trump understands the seriousness threat
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: of dangerous gain-of-function research posed to the American people, which
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: is why he took the decisive action on May 25, 2025,
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: signing Executive Order 14292 to end federal funding of gain-of-function
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: research around the world. Despite the obvious potential of catastrophic
- 1:35:41Speaker 1: global impact, Research on dangerous pathogens in biolabs can have politicians,
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: so-called health professionals like Dr. Fauci, and entities within the
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: Biden administration's national security team lie to the American people
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: about the existence of U.S.-funded and supported biolabs and threaten
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: those who attempted to expose the truth. ODNI, Department of
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: National Intelligence, will continue to work closely with partners across
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: the government to identify where these labs are, what pathogens
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: they contain, to end dangerous gain-of-function research that threaten the
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: health and well-being of the American people and people of
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: the world. DNI-Garrett issued new guidelines to the intelligence community
- 1:36:26Speaker 1: directing increased collection of these laboratories and facilities overseas. She
- 1:36:33Speaker 1: did this on her last day when she left and
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: basically released all of this stuff that showed the cover-up
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: that took place. And I want you to think about this.
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: The government was lying to, they told us, oh, there
- 1:36:47Speaker 1: are no biolabs. Think where they put these biolabs, in
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: communist China and in corrupt Ukraine. Who made a stupid
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: decision like that in the first place? And that's why
- 1:36:58Speaker 1: I said to you when Putin was invading the Ukraine,
- 1:37:01Speaker 1: he said, why is he going here and why is
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: he going there? He was going there to close down
- 1:37:04Speaker 1: the bio labs because he demanded they be closed.
- 1:37:07Speaker 9: The U.S.
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: Denied they were there. News Radio 570 WKVN.
- 1:37:14Speaker 11: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: Back to it, 534 NewsRadio 570 WKBN. It's Monday, June 22nd.
- 1:37:24Speaker 1: We're at 65 degrees with you until 6 o'clock tonight.
- 1:37:28Speaker 1: Rockport Wealth Truth and Investing Program is on tonight, 6
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: to 7. on NewsRadio 570 WKBN, so keep that in mind.
- 1:37:38Speaker 1: All right, it's 330-729-9977, 330-729-9977. We'll get you through to
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: us here on NewsRadio 570 WKBN. So it's the biggest story,
- 1:37:49Speaker 1: I think, that is out there, quite frankly. I mean,
- 1:37:52Speaker 1: we can talk all we want until we're blue in
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: the face over the reflecting pond and all this kind
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: of stuff and the algae. I don't know that there
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: is a more important story than what Telsey Gabbard revealed
- 1:38:07Speaker 1: when she left office on her final day as the
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: Director of National Intelligence. And I do think it's one
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: of the most important stories that is being ignored. And
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: I do mean ignored. And that is deeply troubling to
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: me because it is a story of your government lying
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: to us as citizens. When I sit back and think
- 1:38:30Speaker 1: for just a second, as I would say to each
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: and every one of you, and think about this, you
- 1:38:36Speaker 1: had people in your community, friends or relatives of yours,
- 1:38:42Speaker 1: that got COVID and died alone in nursing homes and hospitals.
- 1:38:47Speaker 1: They wouldn't allow their relatives to go in and hold
- 1:38:49Speaker 1: their hand As they're dying. If they were in a
- 1:38:54Speaker 1: nursing home, if they were in a hospital, you couldn't
- 1:38:57Speaker 1: visit them to be there. Perhaps when a person needs
- 1:39:00Speaker 1: you most, when they're taking their final breath. And that's Fauci.
- 1:39:10Speaker 1: So what you're starting to find out from what Tulsi
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: Gabbard released, and this is important. And for the life
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: of me, I do not understand why the mainstream media
- 1:39:20Speaker 1: ignores this stuff. It's deeply disturbing to me as an American.
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: I hated to see her leave that position. I understand
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: her husband has got a serious ailment. So I understand.
- 1:39:34Speaker 1: But it's a loss to this country. I have a
- 1:39:37Speaker 1: world of respect for it. But she released this stuff
- 1:39:39Speaker 1: on the last day on how we were all lied to.
- 1:39:42Speaker 1: All of us. It doesn't matter to me if you're
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: a Democrat or Republican. As an American, you were lied to.
- 1:39:52Speaker 1: And Fauci should be in prison. So you come to
- 1:40:00Speaker 1: learn from what she releases how you were lied to
- 1:40:03Speaker 1: to begin with. As I said, Victoria Nuland and company
- 1:40:07Speaker 1: lied about these biolabs being in the Ukraine. I told you,
- 1:40:11Speaker 1: if you spin the clock back, that one of the
- 1:40:13Speaker 1: reasons why Russia was going where they were going. The
- 1:40:18Speaker 1: United States, look, well, why are the forces going here,
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: here and here? They were going after these bio labs.
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: They were, they had asked one of the things before
- 1:40:25Speaker 1: the war broke out is you have during COVID, you
- 1:40:28Speaker 1: have to close these bio labs down. The United States
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: denied they were there to the American people and everyone else.
- 1:40:35Speaker 1: They lied to us all. Why would you put gain
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: of function bio labs in one of the most corrupt
- 1:40:40Speaker 1: countries around the Ukraine? Why would you put them in
- 1:40:42Speaker 1: communist China? Why would you be engaged in creating things
- 1:40:47Speaker 1: that could wipe out mankind off the planet? It doesn't
- 1:40:50Speaker 1: matter if you're a Democrat, Republican, conservative, or liberal, or
- 1:40:53Speaker 1: what age you happen to be. That you're engaging in
- 1:40:57Speaker 1: things with scientists that should never be touched in the
- 1:41:01Speaker 1: first place. So Russia came in to... shut these biolabs down.
- 1:41:09Speaker 1: And remember, Putin said he not only wanted to shut
- 1:41:12Speaker 1: them down, he wanted everybody involved in them. When they
- 1:41:14Speaker 1: were talking about the world court and putting Putin on
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: trial in the world court, he said, put all of
- 1:41:19Speaker 1: these people on trial in the world court. But Victoria
- 1:41:21Speaker 1: Nuland even denied they existed. Now, Tulsi Gabbard releases all
- 1:41:25Speaker 1: this information on her last day. 120 biolabs, many of
- 1:41:29Speaker 1: them in the Ukraine. So evil coming up with stuff
- 1:41:36Speaker 1: that if it would escape from there, could wipe us
- 1:41:38Speaker 1: all out. And you have Fauci. Just a liar all along.
- 1:41:50Speaker 1: I mean, so it becomes more and more clear that, gee,
- 1:41:53Speaker 1: some of this stuff that they denied, oh, it's just horsepace, ivermectin,
- 1:41:58Speaker 1: and hydrochloroquine, were effective and worked. But they and the
- 1:42:05Speaker 1: media tried to make it into some type of a
- 1:42:08Speaker 1: joke and prohibited doctors from using it, threatened to take
- 1:42:13Speaker 1: their licenses away. People would do it on their own.
- 1:42:21Speaker 1: But you couldn't get that at a hospital. You couldn't
- 1:42:25Speaker 1: go to your doctor's office. They made it damn near
- 1:42:27Speaker 1: impossible to get ivermectin. They acted like it was just
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: for treating horses when it's been something been used on
- 1:42:33Speaker 1: humans for decades. I mean, the more you read about
- 1:42:39Speaker 1: what she released as an American, the more disturbing, deeply
- 1:42:43Speaker 1: disturbing this all is. And you don't see anyone being
- 1:42:50Speaker 1: held accountable. As they say, Fauci belongs in prison. He's
- 1:42:53Speaker 1: a liar. He funded it. He's a liar. He covered
- 1:42:57Speaker 1: it up. People are dead as a result of it.
- 1:43:01Speaker 1: It didn't come from some bat. It came from this
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: lab in Wuhan. And they wanted to act like, oh,
- 1:43:07Speaker 1: it didn't come from there. That's exactly where it came from.
- 1:43:11Speaker 1: That's exactly what was going on. And we were funding it.
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: Not we. He was funding it. And then the same
- 1:43:19Speaker 1: stuff going on in the Ukraine. And that's why I
- 1:43:22Speaker 1: say to each and every one of you, do you
- 1:43:24Speaker 1: want to find out something very interesting? Do some study
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: on your own and find out where Lyme disease started.
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: Because it was a bio lab that was engaged in
- 1:43:39Speaker 1: modifying ticks with this Lyme disease. And it's called Lyme
- 1:43:43Speaker 1: disease because they got out from where this biolab was
- 1:43:46Speaker 1: around a community called Lyme, what, New York? That's why
- 1:43:51Speaker 1: it's called Lyme disease because it was so prevalent there.
- 1:43:54Speaker 1: They were on an island. You'll have to read about
- 1:43:57Speaker 1: it on your own. I had a relative that died
- 1:44:03Speaker 1: from Rocky Mountain spotted fever, got bit by a tick
- 1:44:07Speaker 1: and died from it. Lyme disease can be a terrible
- 1:44:12Speaker 1: thing if you're bitten and you don't catch it in time.
- 1:44:16Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't, and it can have long-term effects. But
- 1:44:22Speaker 1: I can assure you, if you do your own research,
- 1:44:25Speaker 1: just do your own research on the origins of Lyme
- 1:44:27Speaker 1: disease and that biolab. Do your own, and I sit back,
- 1:44:34Speaker 1: and you can give me all the art bell crap
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: you want to give me. It doesn't matter because I'm
- 1:44:39Speaker 1: going to tell you, I am very suspicious that all
- 1:44:41Speaker 1: of a sudden we have a tick that bites you
- 1:44:43Speaker 1: and you become allergic to meat. When Bill Gates and
- 1:44:46Speaker 1: all these people are talking about how we got to
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: get away from eating meat, cows grazing, all this nonsense.
- 1:44:54Speaker 1: Then totally out of the blue, you got a tick
- 1:44:55Speaker 1: that bites you and you become allergic to meat. What
- 1:44:58Speaker 1: a coincidence. I don't think it is. I honestly think
- 1:45:02Speaker 1: there's that kind of evil that's going on. But don't
- 1:45:06Speaker 1: take my word for Look at what Tulsi Gabbard released
- 1:45:09Speaker 1: on her last day from the Department of National Intelligence.
- 1:45:14Speaker 1: Just look at it. Look at what she released about
- 1:45:19Speaker 1: Fauci and about COVID and about biolabs. Then ask yourself,
- 1:45:26Speaker 1: why isn't this the lead story on every major media outlet?
- 1:45:32Speaker 1: Ask yourself that question. Be informed. Then just take it
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: one step further. Take a look at how Victoria Nuland
- 1:45:41Speaker 1: denied biolabs in Ukraine. Take it one step further. Investigate
- 1:45:45Speaker 1: on your own the Lyme disease in a biolab that
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: was near Lyme, New York. Do it on your own.
- 1:45:53Speaker 1: Put some effort forth. You'll be as shocked as I
- 1:46:00Speaker 1: was when I was doing it. Shocked isn't the right word.
- 1:46:05Speaker 1: You'll be as pissed as I am that the government's
- 1:46:07Speaker 1: engaging in this kind of stuff because it can literally
- 1:46:10Speaker 1: wipe all of us out. And they lie about it.
- 1:46:16Speaker 1: They deny it. That the labs are there. It gets out.
- 1:46:21Speaker 1: They lie about its origins. They lie about the potential cures.
- 1:46:28Speaker 1: Think of if they would have just You couldn't have
- 1:46:31Speaker 1: something that could work to combat Lyme disease because then
- 1:46:34Speaker 1: all of a sudden the vaccine, and there's plenty of
- 1:46:36Speaker 1: money made there, works. So by denying people some of
- 1:46:41Speaker 1: these treatments, they died as a result of it? I mean,
- 1:46:45Speaker 1: it's sheer evil. I know it's hard to imagine. I
- 1:46:49Speaker 1: know it's hard for all of you to imagine. I
- 1:46:56Speaker 1: think Telsey Garrett is a great patriot. I genuinely do.
- 1:47:00Speaker 1: I genuinely do. All right. News Radio 570 WKBN. And, Ron,
- 1:47:05Speaker 1: onward we go here. And you're on the air.
- 1:47:10Speaker 9: Hey, Ron.
- 1:47:10Speaker 14: How are you doing today?
- 1:47:11Speaker 2: Good.
- 1:47:12Speaker 1: Go ahead, sir.
- 1:47:13Speaker 14: Very good subject to hit on because I had a
- 1:47:16Speaker 14: brother-in-law who died from COVID. And as far as I'm concerned,
- 1:47:22Speaker 14: Fauci should be in prison. He should be quartered up.
- 1:47:29Speaker 14: And when you look at it, let's go back in
- 1:47:32Speaker 14: time to where we had the swine flu, the Spanish flu,
- 1:47:38Speaker 14: and then the United States government back in the early
- 1:47:42Speaker 14: 60s used LSD on black soldiers in the Army to
- 1:47:47Speaker 14: see what it would do. And when I was active duty,
- 1:47:54Speaker 14: you had to get the flu shot, because if you didn't,
- 1:47:56Speaker 14: you'd be busted and kicked out of the military.
- 1:48:00Speaker 2: And all these other diseases.
- 1:48:02Speaker 14: And now they're talking about that tick that bites you
- 1:48:07Speaker 14: and makes you allergic to meat.
- 1:48:09Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:48:09Speaker 14: All of a sudden in Texas, all of a sudden
- 1:48:11Speaker 14: in Texas, they got this thing called a screw worm.
- 1:48:16Speaker 14: And it affects cattle. And I'm like, what do they
- 1:48:21Speaker 14: keep on bringing up? And then how many years did
- 1:48:26Speaker 14: it take for this government of ours to admit that
- 1:48:30Speaker 14: Agent Orange, which I have, was nothing? And then all
- 1:48:35Speaker 14: of a sudden they realized Because the people are not stupid.
- 1:48:40Speaker 2: They're smart.
- 1:48:41Speaker 14: They're understanding what the government is doing.
- 1:48:43Speaker 1: Well, you're spot on because Agent Orange was denied. So
- 1:48:47Speaker 1: he dropped a chemical that killed all the vegetation and
- 1:48:51Speaker 1: got into the water supply. And they denied that they
- 1:48:55Speaker 1: had anything to do with the cancers of returning Vietnam
- 1:48:58Speaker 1: vets that were exposed to it for years. And as
- 1:49:03Speaker 1: you well know, many of them died, and they acted
- 1:49:06Speaker 1: like they had nothing to do with it, even though
- 1:49:09Speaker 1: they have zero family history of these odd cancers that
- 1:49:12Speaker 1: popped up, as you well know. And you're 100% correct
- 1:49:17Speaker 1: on that cover-up.
- 1:49:19Speaker 14: Yeah, I've had friends who had children post-Vietnam, Agent Orange,
- 1:49:26Speaker 14: and they were born with maybe one or two legs gone,
- 1:49:30Speaker 14: maybe a maybe a leg where our arms are supposed
- 1:49:33Speaker 14: to be, they're deformed. And the government keeps on saying, oh,
- 1:49:38Speaker 14: don't worry about it, don't worry about it.
- 1:49:40Speaker 1: Well, sooner or later they had to admit to it,
- 1:49:43Speaker 1: but they covered it up for years. I'm with you
- 1:49:45Speaker 1: just as though this is a giant cover-up. Tulsi Gabbard
- 1:49:48Speaker 1: did a great thing for this country in releasing this information,
- 1:49:51Speaker 1: and it's being ignored by the mainstream media, which is
- 1:49:54Speaker 1: just deeply disturbing to me.
- 1:49:58Speaker 14: Well, another thing I want to bring up, too, is
- 1:50:00Speaker 14: I don't know how many people... You remember when Trumbull
- 1:50:03Speaker 14: Memorial Hospital went down, went under?
- 1:50:07Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:50:07Speaker 14: Sharon Regional did the same thing. They got bought out
- 1:50:10Speaker 14: by this company by the name of Tenor out of California.
- 1:50:15Speaker 14: Now it's on the news that there's almost $ 3. 5 million
- 1:50:19Speaker 14: they owe the federal government in back taxes on that.
- 1:50:22Speaker 1: Well, that's a whole other story.
- 1:50:23Speaker 14: I told my wife the day after they... bought this hospital,
- 1:50:29Speaker 14: and I told her, look, they got $ 10 million from
- 1:50:33Speaker 14: the communities over here to open them up. I told her,
- 1:50:36Speaker 14: I said, that money has gone to the CEO and
- 1:50:39Speaker 14: the big shots at Tenor, and now they're finding out, wow,
- 1:50:44Speaker 14: we haven't paid our taxes.
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate you bringing that up. My concern, thank
- 1:50:49Speaker 1: you for your call, is when investment firms start buying
- 1:50:52Speaker 1: up hospital facilities. And what happens is, well, we've seen
- 1:50:58Speaker 1: it locally. What happens as far as the closure of
- 1:51:02Speaker 1: a lot of those facilities and the devastation it does
- 1:51:05Speaker 1: to your local community? You're on the air. You're on
- 1:51:11Speaker 1: the air.
- 1:51:13Speaker 2: Ron!
- 1:51:13Speaker 1: Dick from Dayton. Yeah.
- 1:51:15Speaker 3: Hey, you know that you're talking about we have had
- 1:51:18Speaker 3: so much rain here in, you know, Viamby Valley, but
- 1:51:22Speaker 3: they showed this on the news yesterday.
- 1:51:24Speaker 4: If you fish, I used to.
- 1:51:25Speaker 3: Go with my dad a lot, you know, and down
- 1:51:28Speaker 3: by Caesars Creek, and they were bad down there. The
- 1:51:31Speaker 3: ticks and things, you know, or it was terrible.
- 1:51:36Speaker 1: Yeah, but, right. Thank you, Dick. But the reality is
- 1:51:40Speaker 1: these ticks never used to be a problem like they
- 1:51:44Speaker 1: are now. Just study the origins of Lyme disease. I'm
- 1:51:49Speaker 1: trying to recommend a book that I read. I've got
- 1:51:52Speaker 1: to find a title of it. And you'll learn about
- 1:51:54Speaker 1: this bio lab and you'll learn what they were working on.
- 1:51:56Speaker 1: Oddly enough, infecting ticks. Right in that area where Lyme
- 1:52:03Speaker 1: disease was created. But see, when you get these mad
- 1:52:09Speaker 1: scientists that do this kind of stuff and it gets...
- 1:52:12Speaker 1: So the book that I would recommend is called Lab 257.
- 1:52:22Speaker 1: It's the name of the book, Lab 257, A Disturbing
- 1:52:25Speaker 1: Story of the Government's Secrets, History of Lyme Disease. All right,
- 1:52:32Speaker 1: so that's what the lab was called. It was Lab
- 1:52:35Speaker 1: 257 that did this, and it was on Plum Islands,
- 1:52:45Speaker 1: P-L-U-M Islands. Just look into that on your own. Buy
- 1:52:50Speaker 1: the book. You can get it on Amazon.
- 1:52:51Speaker 10: Read it.
- 1:52:52Speaker 1: It's eye-opening. You're on the air, running out of time.
- 1:52:55Speaker 2: Hello.
- 1:52:57Speaker 9: Hey, Ron.
- 1:52:58Speaker 7: Thanks for having me here.
- 1:52:59Speaker 10: Yes, sir.
- 1:52:59Speaker 1: Quickly, go ahead.
- 1:53:02Speaker 7: Yeah, I want to bring up that point the fellow
- 1:53:04Speaker 7: made to you earlier, a gentleman that worked at Elkton.
- 1:53:10Speaker 1: I'm not here to talk about prison guards, okay? What
- 1:53:14Speaker 1: do you want to talk about besides that? I mean,
- 1:53:17Speaker 1: it's just a waste of my time today.
- 1:53:20Speaker 7: Yeah, other than that, I want to talk about the
- 1:53:22Speaker 7: Charlie Kirk assassination and.
- 1:53:26Speaker 9: Kind of the cover-up.
- 1:53:27Speaker 7: I talked to a lot of gun experts, and I
- 1:53:30Speaker 7: don't know if you've seen the fact that a. 30- 06,
- 1:53:35Speaker 7: you know, would have took the kid's head off his body.
- 1:53:38Speaker 7: You know, ballistics experts all across the world, I mean,
- 1:53:41Speaker 7: you go in your local gun store, ask about that caliber,
- 1:53:45Speaker 7: ask about that range. It does way more damage, man.
- 1:53:49Speaker 7: And to say that there would be no exit wound
- 1:53:53Speaker 7: really sounds like a serious cover-up. And I really feel
- 1:53:56Speaker 7: like they just put that right in your face and
- 1:54:00Speaker 7: just lied.
- 1:54:01Speaker 2: To us all.
- 1:54:02Speaker 1: There are many people that I've heard talk, just as
- 1:54:04Speaker 1: you have, who totally agree with your statements. They say
- 1:54:08Speaker 1: there's more to this story than meets the eye. We're
- 1:54:10Speaker 1: running out of time. Thank you. You're on the air. Yeah, Ron? Yes.
- 1:54:15Speaker 21: Yeah, I want to talk about the biggest cover-up, two
- 1:54:18Speaker 21: of them that just occurred, East Palestine. You know, when
- 1:54:21Speaker 21: you had the EPA guy, I called and I got
- 1:54:24Speaker 21: cut off because I wanted to ask him, what happens
- 1:54:26Speaker 21: when you burn polyvinyl chloride?
- 1:54:29Speaker 12: You get dioxin.
- 1:54:31Speaker 21: So we had a big dioxin cloud going over the north,
- 1:54:34Speaker 21: I guess the northwest. And I watched it from my office,
- 1:54:38Speaker 21: and I'm thinking, man, did I get hit where I
- 1:54:40Speaker 21: live on Lake Milton? The government covered up, and the
- 1:54:43Speaker 21: reason that Norfolk Southern wants to pay it off so
- 1:54:45Speaker 21: quickly and make these people take the money, because they
- 1:54:48Speaker 21: know 30, 40 years down the road, just like with Vietnam, 30,
- 1:54:52Speaker 21: 40 years down the road, these people are all going
- 1:54:54Speaker 21: to die. from cancer-related dioxin. And another cover-up that I
- 1:54:59Speaker 21: believe happened is these cruise ships. How come this mouse
- 1:55:02Speaker 21: virus all of a sudden winds up in an isolated
- 1:55:05Speaker 21: situation these people are getting it because it comes from
- 1:55:08Speaker 21: mouse feces?
- 1:55:09Speaker 9: What a perfect situation.
- 1:55:10Speaker 21: To see what the kill ratio is if that's introduced
- 1:55:13Speaker 21: on a cruise ship and see what happens. I mean,
- 1:55:15Speaker 21: you know, that whole deal with East Palestine is a
- 1:55:20Speaker 21: huge cover-up by Norfolk.
- 1:55:22Speaker 12: Southern Railroad, All right.
- 1:55:25Speaker 2: U.S.
- 1:55:25Speaker 9: Government.
- 1:55:25Speaker 1: I got you.
- 1:55:26Speaker 21: And the EPA.
- 1:55:27Speaker 3: All right.
- 1:55:27Speaker 1: All right. Thank you. You're on air. Running out of time.
- 1:55:32Speaker 9: Hello.
- 1:55:32Speaker 4: Yes.
- 1:55:34Speaker 10: I just want to call and say, you know what
- 1:55:35Speaker 10: I see in the reflecting pool is an evil monster.
- 1:55:39Speaker 6: And Trump started the war and he lost the war
- 1:55:42Speaker 6: and he's ruined our economy.
- 1:55:45Speaker 9: Good evening.
- 1:55:47Speaker 1: Good evening to you as well. All right. On that note.
- 1:55:51Speaker 1: We'll call it quits. All right. Stay tuned. Rockport Wealth
- 1:55:54Speaker 1: Truth and Investing Program coming up next. Guardians pregame at 7. Thanks.
- 1:56:04Speaker 5: From ABC News, I'm Michelle Franzen. Talks are progressing on
- 1:56:08Speaker 5: a final peace deal between the U.S. and Iran following
- 1:56:11Speaker 5: weekend meetings in Switzerland. Negotiations now shifting, the U.S. says,
- 1:56:15Speaker 5: to more technical aspects. including Iran's nuclear program. ABC's Tom
- 1:56:19Speaker 5: Sufiberich is in Switzerland with more.
- 1:56:21Speaker 2: J.D.
- 1:56:22Speaker 15: Vance saying that the most exciting thing, in his words,
- 1:56:25Speaker 15: has been the fact that the Iranians have agreed to
- 1:56:27Speaker 15: allow U.N. nuclear inspectors back into the country. The vice
- 1:56:31Speaker 15: president saying that is a first step in terms of
- 1:56:33Speaker 15: ending Iran's nuclear program, but still clearly a lot of
- 1:56:36Speaker 15: progress and hard work to be done.
- 1:56:38Speaker 5: Iranian state media reporting officials say Iran made no new
- 1:56:42Speaker 5: nuclear commitments and said that Tehran did not negotiate over
- 1:56:45Speaker 5: its nuclear program during the 18-hour discussions and did not
- 1:56:48Speaker 5: agree to any new commitments. During an executive signing meeting today,
- 1:56:52Speaker 5: President Trump weighed in on the problems with the renovations
- 1:56:55Speaker 5: of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool. The president claims there
- 1:56:58Speaker 5: is proof of vandalism, saying people may have used some
- 1:57:01Speaker 5: type of knife, he says, to cut the blue paint
- 1:57:03Speaker 5: that's peeling.
- 1:57:04Speaker 8: Well, let's put it this way.
- 1:57:07Speaker 1: When you have a 350, I think it's 350, not 250,
- 1:57:11Speaker 1: a 350-foot slit from one end to the other, you
- 1:57:15Speaker 1: think that's proof?
- 1:57:16Speaker 5: The president says the Park Service has made five arrests.
- 1:57:20Speaker 5: ABC's Elizabeth Schulze has more on the multi-million dollar project.
- 1:57:23Speaker 16: The company that applied the coating says it identified some
- 1:57:26Speaker 16: areas of the pool that require repairs and confirmed that
- 1:57:29Speaker 16: it will need to be drained. That company, along with
- 1:57:32Speaker 16: a water purification business that's owned by a longtime donor
- 1:57:35Speaker 16: to President Trump, bypassed the traditional bidding process that's typically
- 1:57:40Speaker 16: used to do work on national parks.
