• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Let me see here. A number of people waiting. Hello.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Hey, Ron.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: It's the one and only Dave Thomas, who's got just
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a little bit of time, he said to me. Ron,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I got a little bit of time, but I want
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to update your listeners on what's going on. And I said,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Dave Thomas, then I got a little bit of time
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: for you. What is the latest with this crazy governor
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: of ours, please?
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Yes, so the good that happened last night and this
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: past week, the good is that he signed the budget
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: kind of update bill that was 479. That delivered $ 350
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: million to seniors on Homestead and did the sales tax holiday.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: He signed that, no vetoes in that bill.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: All right, so what's the bad? Okay, I want to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: hear that.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, the bad, last night, I'm actually in D.C.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Right now.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: That's why I only have a little bit of time
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: doing a conference on taxation, how to lower taxes. There
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: was a text sent to me by a reporter at
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: about 10.30 last night with, did you see he vetoed
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: your bill? So he vetoed two bills last night. One
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: of them was mine on renters and giving consumer protections
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: for renters and that are in your larger complexes. That
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: was House Bill 173. He vetoed that bill. Then he
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: vetoed another bill, and this is the one dealing with
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: photo ID and verification that we talked about that we
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: passed two weeks ago, House Bill 472, that requires mail-in
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: ballots to have photo identification as part of kind of
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: the checklist. and process when you mail in your absentee ballot.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: He vetoed that last night as well.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: What's the thinking there?
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: So his thinking, it was a very almost flippant kind
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: of veto message. And his thinking was essentially showing photo ID,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: making a copy or doing an online database with mail-in
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: ballots is not necessary because we have a great system
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: in Ohio and that will just cause more people not
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: to vote. Um, and, uh, obviously I always tell folks, 80%
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: of Ohioans believe you should show a photo ID when
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: you vote. Um, that's just common sense across the board.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: There's a loophole though, with that, when you do a
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: mail-in ballot, no one really knows who's actually on the
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: other side of that ballot. And so having part of
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: that process be, you know, you submitting your photo ID
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: when you send in your ballot is another security point
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: to make sure you are who you say you are
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: when you're voting and he vetoed that.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah i think with mail-in ballots they supposedly do a
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: signature match or signature check and that's about it isn't it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah there's there's censure and then you're supposed to either
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: give the last four of your social or your driver's
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: license number but um there you know there still is
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: a decent amount of opportunity with mail-in balloting for folks
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: to either take that information or for someone in one
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: household to actually do all the ballots together. So we
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: talked about the constitutional amendment that will be on the
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: ballot this November. That constitutional amendment is still moving forward
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: because the governor didn't have to sign it. Only the
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: legislature could put an amendment on the ballot. So folks
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: will still see a question on the ballot this November asking,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: do you wish to require photo verification for voting in Ohio?
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: And if it's yes, then I would put in the constitution.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: And that gives us the ability to essentially make more
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: kind of rules and requirements around photo verification, such as
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: mail-in balloting. So people are still for the constitutional amendment,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: but as of right now, the governor's veto over the
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: mail-in ballot aspect means that mail-in balloting would not be
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: subject to the photo verification.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Right, but just to clarify, and I'm glad you reminded me,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: it clarified it in my mind. If in Ohio you
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: request a mail-in ballot on your application for it, you
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: have to what, as you said, give the last four
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: of your Social Security or your driver's license number. And
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you have to send that as well. Supposedly, they do
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a signature check, and they have that information, which seems
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: still pretty solid. I mean, it seems like it's a
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: pretty good effort to prevent any fraud. But like you said,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: this would be an additional step just to lock it down,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: another good step. I don't understand why he didn't– why
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: he vetoed that, but there's a lot of stuff he's
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: doing lately that I just don't understand. So, the legislature
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: put a constitutional amendment on. When will I be voting
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: on this? In November?
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: This November, November 3rd, every Ohioan will see. I don't
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: remember what issue number it'll be because we've changed. Do
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: you remember that one year where there was several constitutional
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: issues in the primary and in general? People got confused
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: over what issue was issue one. Now, every constitutional issue
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: will be its own number. So we'll never have another
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: issue one or issue two. I think this will be
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: issue three.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Which will ask me to vote on whether or not I,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: basically it asks me, do I think you should have
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to have a photo ID when you vote? Now, here's
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: my confusion with that. When I go to vote now,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I have to produce a photo ID.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Correct.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: And what the concern is, so there's a woman named
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Allison Russo. She is the former minority leader in the
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Ohio House, and she is running for Secretary of State.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: She does not believe in photo ID. She voted no
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: on this constitutional amendment. Should she win Secretary of State's office,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: there is enough flexibility within the Secretary of State's office
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: for her not to require or enforce that provision. Should
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Amy Acton become governor after November, There's enough flexibility with
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: the administration and the governor's office for some of these
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: provisions not to be enforced. So we're essentially belt and
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: suspending Ohio's law with a photo ID for voting that
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: regardless of who comes in the legislature or secretary of state,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: this is the law in Ohio.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you want to lock it down, basically, which
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I would agree with. Because basically you're saying, Ohio, I
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: think we're kind of respected by other states how we
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: do our elections here. Why, of course, I can't explain
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: to liberals why we would ever want to change that.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've got a pretty decent reputation for not
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: having a lot of voter fraud because of showing an ID.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: And the process that we have, why somebody would want
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: to be Secretary of State and take that away... is
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: bizarre to me. It's just bizarre. So I'll make sure
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: don't vote for the Democrat running for Secretary of State.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: That's the first thing people got to remember because your
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: elections won't be as secure. Because if you get fraud in,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: it waters down the value of your vote, your individual votes.
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: But there are at least 10 races every year. And
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: I think we had one in Mahoning Valley this past
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: year where the election was either a tie or it
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: was decided by one vote. So I always tell folks,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Every vote, especially at the local level, matters. And when
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: we had that constitutional question come up and we voted
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: on it, every single Democrat in the House and in
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: the Senate voted against that constitutional amendment. So that clearly
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: shows a delineation, a line in the sand, between what
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: the Democrat priority is when it comes to elections. And
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Ohio is the gold standard.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: And I think this is kind of another way that
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: we're You know, the SAVE Act is a big deal
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: happening right now at the federal level. Do they pass it?
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: Don't they?
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: This is kind of another, I think, push from the
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: states to say, you know, we're doing this right. Here's
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: how we're doing it, federal government. You know, here's more.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: kind of ammunition for you.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: But you have Democrats that are saying, as well-respected as
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: our standard is, and you're right, it is a gold standard.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I think Florida kind of copied us. But with that
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: being said, you've got Democrats that want to destroy it,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: want to take away the confidence I have as a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: voter in Ohio that the system is legit. It's bewildering.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: I tell everyone, be a poll worker. Volunteer. You get
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: paid like $ 125, 000. but volunteer as a poll worker, you
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: get to literally see the process. And if anyone has
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: doubts about how secure the election is or you'll be
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: able to see kind of just like with the mail-in side,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: you know, there's some potential here. But actual, you know,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: physical voting, the number of just checkpoints and certainty that
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: we have in Ohio, and we're that way in Florida
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: is that way because of what happened back in 2000
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: and 2004. We've been through really bad cycles. and we've
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: corrected because of it. So this is just another way
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: to make sure we're going to stay safe.
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: Excellent.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: And, uh, so I can't explain to wine folks. I mean,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I just can't explain why it does it. Didn't he, uh,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the other day I was reading where he, uh, what
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: do you say, did away with a guy's death penalty,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: who broke into a home, if I remember correctly, and
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: help me out here, maybe you would know more. He
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: broke into somebody's home and was doing a robbery, and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: he lit him on fire. He killed the people. Does
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: that sound right to you?
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a handful. We've not actually, and this is
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: another great example of the legislature has rules, has a
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: lot of land, because you, the people, have voted for us.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: We create the rules. The administration is supposed to carry
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: it out. And regardless of what you think about the
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: death penalty, that's the law of the land, and this
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: administration has not carried out once the law of the
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: land while the governor's been in office. And that's a
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: great example of one that, yeah, it's just crazy the
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: situation that happened. There's a lot of others on death
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: row as well where he has either now pardoned one
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: this past week or has just not done the sentence.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's, so folks, this is what troubles me
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: with DeWine. I mean, the jury has spoken. I mean,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the judicial system has said, okay, here's what it is.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: And he decides, and we have the death penalty in Ohio,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: and he decides, okay, we're not going to do that.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: To this particular person who I read this, I'm going
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: by my memory, and you'll correct me. I mean, he
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: broke into someone's home. The person that he killed, he
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: lit him on fire. Is that accurate? Does that sound right?
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds about right. I didn't read the whole
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: kind of background on it, but yeah, there was a
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: crazy episode calling them.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: It was a horrific murder, a horrific murder. And DeWine,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: instead of letting this guy, the jury sentenced him to death,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: instead of that happening, he, I don't know what you,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: he pardoned him, doesn't pardon him. You don't get out
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: of jail, but he waives the death penalty.
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: And I remind folks, this is a taste. If people
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: think there's not that big of a difference between Vivek
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: and Amy Acton, everything I've talked with you today already
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: is just a taste of what we can experience under
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Amy Acton. And we haven't even dived in. The governor
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: has not signed yet the Medicaid reform bill for the
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: fraud that occurred. We're still waiting on that. But that's
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: just another kind of aspect of what could we expect
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: under an Amy Acton governorship.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: It would be absolute insanity. Absolute, total and complete insanity. Okay.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: And anything else going on? Because I know our time
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: is limited.
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Wanted to update you on that veto. The other veto
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: that he made of my submetering bill, which we're going
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: to still fight for. Renters are being gouged on their
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: electricity just recently. even worse actually than homeowners. So trying
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: to make that more of a portable practice.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: You said renters are being gouged more on electricity than homeowners.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: How's that?
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: So if you're a renter in a complex, oftentimes the
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: property is doing something called sub metering, which is when
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: there's one meter and the landlord or the property manager
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: then sells that electricity to all the renters, the tenants. And, um,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: There's no limits. There's no caps. There's no actual regulation
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: over that industry right now. It's just done property by property.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: And so this bill would actually kind of put caps, limits,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: regulations around the industry, around submetering, so that renters wouldn't
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: be paying more than what they would be paying if
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: they were just traditional, normal residents. But right now, we've
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: seen bills... you know, double, triple what they actually should be.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: And there's no actual limit to the property owner doing that.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: So it's just a landlord screwing a runner, basically.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, in some cases. Or, you know, there's complaints. There's
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: no actual place to go for these poor renters to
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: go to do complaints. They have to hire an attorney.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: No explanations on the bills. It's a really kind of...
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: It makes sense as a practice that we should have it,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: but there needs to be a lot of guardrails and
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: kind of certainty around it. All right.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Stand by. Let me run a few commercials, and I'll
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: wrap it up with you, okay? Because I know then
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: you've got to go. Hang on. Back with Dave Thomas
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: in a minute.
• 14:49
  Speaker 9: Youngstown's News, Weather, and Talk Station, 570 WKBN. We're on
• 14:55
  Speaker 9: for back to it.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: It's 325 in the afternoon. All right. I know we've
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: got only minutes, a few minutes with you, so go ahead.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Take it away, Dave.
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you're good.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: So that bill, we're going to keep pushing and get
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: renters some help. And then the last thing you probably
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: have heard, Big case out of Supreme Court ruled that
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Trump can, in fact, actually deport and remove all the
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Haitians that are in Ohio, for example, on a temporary
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: protected status. That was a big decision that came out
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: just yesterday, and probably you remember a lot of things
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: happening with that two years ago over the Dayton area, Springfield. So,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court backed up Trump administration, and they can start
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: doing deportations if there's issues with those folks on the TPS.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Anything happening as far as the fraud investigation of the folks,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the Somalians, stealing money as far as Medicare, Medicaid, and
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: all that jazz?
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's been a few arrests or a few cases
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: kind of released almost every week. Different kind of examples
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: of how they're doing the fraud, largely in either Cincinnati
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: area or then in Franklin area. a couple of people
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: in the Cleveland area, too. My understanding is FBI, all
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: the federal folks are in there. They're diving into some
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: of the back numbers, and they're going to keep kind
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: of releasing these different arrests. And some of the money
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: has been returned, not nearly anything close to what's been lost.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: So the cops are actually getting involved, what the feds,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I guess you would say, and arresting people and charging
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: them for committing this crime? I mean, even though there's
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Somalians and all this? Yes, yeah.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: A good example of one was kind of a somewhat
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: fake doctor who was just using socials and using Medicaid
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: numbers of people in that community, charging and reporting things,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: you know, being sold or treatments being done. None of
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: that happened. A couple million dollars over the past couple
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: of years. So that person's been arrested.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: They arrested that doctor for the fraud.
• 17:06
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: The question, though, is, yeah, let's say it's two, two
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: and a half million, if I remember correctly. How do
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: you get some of that money back? This person's obviously
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: going to jail.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: The answer is you usually don't. I mean, and if
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: that's the case, that's fine. I'm just saying that people
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: that committed a crime, and this is a crime, should
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: go to jail. That's all I'm saying.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Deter the activity. And step one. Step one for sure.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: All right. So what are you doing in Washington, D.C.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: I'm here for today and tomorrow for a tax conference.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Different kind of ways and means or tax leaders from
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: across the nation, different states. We're all kind of gathering
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: to talk about, hey, how do you do taxation on
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: certain things with this? What are you seeing with this?
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: And just start it today.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, tell them we got enough taxes. We
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: don't need any new ways. The answer is to reduce them.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Dave Thomas, for making time. Appreciate it.
• 18:01
  Speaker 11: Thank you.
• 18:01

  Speaker 1: As I said, I'm going to take off Friday. And
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: then I'm going to be off Monday and Tuesday. And
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I'll be back on Wednesday. NewsRadio 570 WQEN. You're on
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the air.
• 18:36
  Speaker 13: Ronald.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Ted the Conservative.
• 18:39
  Speaker 14: We got disconnected yesterday, so I thought I would call back. But, boy,
• 18:42
  Speaker 14: a lot's on path here with your previous caller. Good
• 18:46
  Speaker 14: example of what Amy Atkin will do. If you think
• 18:50
  Speaker 14: that the rhino in office right now is bad, just
• 18:54
  Speaker 14: think what she will do. And, you know, Rick called
• 18:57
  Speaker 14: yesterday about the visa program that his kids are stuck on,
• 19:02
  Speaker 14: and I don't understand it because think about it this way.
• 19:06
  Speaker 14: Democrats are globalists.
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: Republicans..
• 19:09
  Speaker 14: And for america first i think that's a state simple
• 19:13
  Speaker 14: statement to make so if he's a little concerned if
• 19:15
  Speaker 14: they're a little concerned about what the vape might do
• 19:19
  Speaker 14: by allowing some of these visas to be processed imagine
• 19:22
  Speaker 14: what amy acton will do don't forget what what the
• 19:25
  Speaker 14: democrats did to the southern border um and what the
• 19:29
  Speaker 14: governor the rhino in chief has done with immigration in
• 19:33
  Speaker 14: the state of ohio so you know i mean you
• 19:36
  Speaker 14: It seems like it's really common sense, but I guess
• 19:39
  Speaker 14: some people just don't see it that way. I don't
• 19:42
  Speaker 14: understand that one. And then the taxes he talked about,
• 19:46
  Speaker 14: you know, Trumbull County, they did the right thing. And
• 19:49
  Speaker 14: in Mahoning County, we've got, we've got a big race
• 19:52
  Speaker 14: coming up.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: You know, one candidate, Trumbull County, I don't know, did
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Trumbull County approve it? I didn't see that, sir, or not,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: but I mean.
• 20:00
  Speaker 14: I think I saw that, you know, and here we
• 20:03
  Speaker 14: are in Mahoning County. we got the opportunity to put
• 20:06
  Speaker 14: someone in office all over that will vote to do that.
• 20:09
  Speaker 14: The other person will think that the unions that work
• 20:13
  Speaker 14: for the government and the governmental agencies know better how
• 20:15
  Speaker 14: to spend your money.
• 20:16
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 20:17
  Speaker 14: So that's going to be, that's going to be, you know,
• 20:19
  Speaker 14: really interesting. I've told you, I think that's, that's the
• 20:21
  Speaker 14: biggest election for us in the fall is that commission
• 20:24
  Speaker 14: is raised. Um, also I think he, you know, you
• 20:28
  Speaker 14: guys touched on immigration and, the TPS, the big wins
• 20:32
  Speaker 14: that Trump had in the Supreme Court today. Again, Amy Atkin, Democrats,
• 20:39
  Speaker 14: they oppose that stuff. So if you, you know, again,
• 20:42
  Speaker 14: back to the visas, if you think what Vivek is
• 20:45
  Speaker 14: proposing is bad, what do you think Amy Atkin and the.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Democrats would do?
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, it would be god-awful.
• 20:53
  Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah. You know, I'm sure there's just so much
• 20:57
  Speaker 14: to talk about. Where we left off with the elections,
• 21:00
  Speaker 14: I'll touch on that real quickly. I told you in
• 21:04
  Speaker 14: the dead middle of the Iran war..
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Well, hang on. Before we go there, a large part
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: about what we were talking about yesterday, though, had to
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: do with the difference... We were talking about the socialists
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: that were winning in New York. I guess it shouldn't
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: be a surprise to anybody because of the makeup of
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: New York. But the overall discussion was... trying to understand
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of the, I don't want to say anger,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: but I'm going to use the word anger that younger
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: people have over the plight that they're facing and maybe
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: some of the anger they have against baby boomers with
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the economics of things. And maybe what we were looking
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: for yesterday was to try to say, this is why
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: so many young people are voting for perhaps these Democrat
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: socialists Because they're so pissed at, I don't want to
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: say capitalism.
• 22:04
  Speaker 14: Well, I think they're voting for him. And I think,
• 22:06
  Speaker 14: no disrespect to any of your callers, but some of
• 22:09
  Speaker 14: them have hinted at this. They want a handout, not
• 22:11
  Speaker 14: a hand up. And, you know, all of us grew
• 22:18
  Speaker 14: up at a different time. Our parents, our grandparents grew
• 22:20
  Speaker 14: up in the Depression. Our parents grew.
• 22:23
  Speaker 15: Up out of that.
• 22:25
  Speaker 14: We grew up in a time we grew up in.
• 22:28
  Speaker 14: But to use a sports analogy, we all played the
• 22:31
  Speaker 14: rules of the game we were dealt with, right? Today,
• 22:34
  Speaker 14: the world's a different world than it was when you.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: And I grew up.
• 22:37
  Speaker 14: The employment arena is a lot different. If you work
• 22:41
  Speaker 14: in technology... You've got a great opportunity. If you work
• 22:45
  Speaker 14: in the medical field, if you work in the trade, if.
• 22:48
  Speaker 16: You become a school teacher.
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Listen, I'm the first one, and I always say, young
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: people have a lot of opportunities that are easier than
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: when I was a young person. Yeah, definitely. I mean,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the post office is begging for people. If you want
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: to get in a post office, it was very difficult.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: You want to get on fire department's difficult. You want
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: to get on police department's difficult. You wanted to get
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: into trades. It was difficult. You want to get into
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: general motors. It was difficult. It was difficult getting in
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of, a lot of the careers that are
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: basically begging for people today. So there's, there's the upside
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: for young people on, on some of these jobs, but
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: there's also the people that are saying, okay, they're of
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: concern when, when you have in Vivek's case, in support
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: of these HB1 visas, saying, oh, we're going to let
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: all these smart people from India come over here. And
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: now the people that are the engineers are in that category.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: that went to school that said, okay, we did everything right,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: now they're concerned about losing their jobs to cheaper labor.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: You follow me? In other words, let me put it
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: this way. People usually aren't concerned about something until it
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: directly affects them. So a lot of times you get
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: people at the top, they're kind of arrogant, and they
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: didn't care if it affected the guy swinging a hammer.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: You follow me or the guy in the assembly line
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: or the person that they would bring in cheaper labor
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: to replace. It didn't bother them. But when it starts
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: to affect your job, then it's all different. Then you
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: start to look at stuff different. I think what Rich
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: was trying to say, these guys were saying is something's
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: wrong here when these companies are getting rid of American
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: workers and their salaries and replacing them with these HB1
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: visa workers out of India to take their jobs either
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: here in our country or or ship the work over
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: to India. And I mean, there's a legitimate, I mean,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: I definitely.
• 24:43
  Speaker 17: I definitely agree.
• 24:44
  Speaker 14: It's a legitimate bitch.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a legitimate bitch. I'm just going to,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 24:48
  Speaker 14: And I would, and I would counter it with this again,
• 24:52
  Speaker 14: Amy Ashton, globalist rights.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that.
• 24:57
  Speaker 14: Also, I would, I would, I would counter it with this.
• 25:00
  Speaker 14: You are, you control your destiny. In other words, If
• 25:05
  Speaker 14: you're working for a company that wants to bring in
• 25:08
  Speaker 14: lower salaried employees to benefit their bottom dollar, well, maybe
• 25:17
  Speaker 14: that's not a company you want to work with. Market
• 25:19
  Speaker 14: your skills, market your talents, and go work for a
• 25:22
  Speaker 14: company that will represent you and reward you. You know,
• 25:26
  Speaker 14: there's good and bad in everything. It was Alex yesterday
• 25:29
  Speaker 14: who said he can't believe how much money he makes today.
• 25:32
  Speaker 14: He said he never dreamed he'd make.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: This much money.
• 25:35
  Speaker 18: He's crying about the cost of living.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 25:37
  Speaker 14: He can't have it both ways.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: We live in a tough love.
• 25:42
  Speaker 14: It's the world we live in.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Listen, I'm all about the tough love stuff, but I
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: understand the complaints that are taking place. I do, too.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say, listen. I think it's more difficult
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: for young people to achieve the American dream today than
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: it was when I was a young person. Make no
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: mistake about it. I'm not saying that it was easy
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: when I was young. I mean, you still had to
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: save money for a down payment on a house, and
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: you still worried when you signed that 30-year mortgage and
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. So it wasn't a stress-free,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: easy adventure even then. But if young people are saying
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: it's become more difficult today because of the high inflation,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the overinflated price of homes and the wages, even the
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: good wages that haven't kept pace with inflation. I was
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: just looking the other day when we build our house.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I think our lot was like twenty five thousand dollars
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: for the lot. You follow me? Three quarters of an acre. Today,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: they're asking $ 90, 000 for just the lot. You hear me? $ 90, 000.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: And that's before you break ground or do any building. So,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, what I'm trying to say and I'm babbling
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: on here is, as an older person, I understand younger
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: people because I can say the same thing. I'm looking
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: around and everything is so damn expensive. Everything.
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: Cars, cars.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Trucks, SUVs, everything is so damn expensive for all our citizens.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: And it makes the lifestyle that they see that the
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: baby boomers enjoyed more difficult for younger people to ever
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: achieve it, to be able to buy a home, to
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: have a car, have a decent lifestyle, the American dream.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: It's more difficult than it used to be. Would you
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: agree with that? And that's why I think many of
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: them are pissed whether they're engineers or doing anything else.
• 27:46
  Speaker 14: I definitely agree.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: But to be honest, they feel they've been betrayed by
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: the country and by corporations, by corporations that there's, there's
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: has to be a commitment from corporations to the country
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: and to the citizens as well.
• 28:02
  Speaker 14: Well, I said this to you before, we didn't get
• 28:05
  Speaker 14: where we are today because of what happened yesterday.
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: Okay. Okay.
• 28:10
  Speaker 14: When Barack Obama told you he was going to transform America,
• 28:14
  Speaker 14: he succeeded. You know, when you allow 10 million people
• 28:19
  Speaker 14: in your country to cross the border, and we don't
• 28:22
  Speaker 14: know who in the heck is here, what do you
• 28:24
  Speaker 14: think that does to the price of housing? What do
• 28:27
  Speaker 14: you think that does to the job market?
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: It's not like, well, I'm.
• 28:31
  Speaker 14: Going to vote for this candidate today because They said, no, dummy,
• 28:36
  Speaker 14: the dumb mistakes you've made in the past voting for
• 28:38
  Speaker 14: people are why you are where you are today. So
• 28:41
  Speaker 14: if you continue down that road for voting for the
• 28:44
  Speaker 14: candidate who tells you what you want to hear and
• 28:46
  Speaker 14: makes you feel good, guess where you're going to be
• 28:49
  Speaker 14: in 10 years. This is where the common sense comes in,
• 28:54
  Speaker 14: and you've got to sometimes kick people in the ass
• 28:56
  Speaker 14: and wake them up. Yeah, it's easy to bitch about
• 29:00
  Speaker 14: all this stuff, but how did we get here?
• 29:03
  Speaker 19: And if you don't know how you got.
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: Where you are, you're.
• 29:06
  Speaker 14: Doomed to continue to make the same mistakes. You know,
• 29:10
  Speaker 14: it's just like Democrats with, you know, with Trump. Every
• 29:13
  Speaker 14: day it's another issue. I can't watch TV anymore. You know,
• 29:17
  Speaker 14: now it's gone from immigration to ICE to the war,
• 29:22
  Speaker 14: the reflecting pool. Now, today, you know, a couple days ago,
• 29:26
  Speaker 14: the market was down 2% and our so-called professional expert
• 29:30
  Speaker 14: said the market was crashing. And I saw this morning...
• 29:33
  Speaker 14: The Dow was on pace for a record close. So
• 29:36
  Speaker 14: you got a lot of, you know, uninformed people saying things.
• 29:41
  Speaker 14: and just confusing the hell out of the world, out
• 29:43
  Speaker 14: of people who don't know better or don't take the time.
• 29:47
  Speaker 14: You know, just like today, they hear inflation rose. Well,
• 29:50
  Speaker 14: we were at war. What did you think we were
• 29:51
  Speaker 14: going to have? You know, but then I would pull
• 29:54
  Speaker 14: them back. So look what we did in quarter one
• 29:57
  Speaker 14: this year. The economy grew to 2.1%. Hey, doing much
• 30:02
  Speaker 14: better than the so-called experts tell us it's going to do.
• 30:06
  Speaker 14: The same people that told us gas is going to
• 30:08
  Speaker 14: be $ 200 a barrel. The same people that told us
• 30:11
  Speaker 14: inflation was going to get to 6%. You know, sometimes
• 30:15
  Speaker 14: you have to look at the motives of the people
• 30:16
  Speaker 14: saying that.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Listen, if you're going to try to sell people that
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: the economy's in a good place right now, I don't
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: buy it. I simply, I don't buy it. I mean,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: the same statistics that are, I didn't believe a lot
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: of statistics during Biden, the employment statistics, which were always
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: changed and altered, and the inflation numbers, which were always
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: kind of not the true report of inflation. Listen, I
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: don't care who's president. Inflation's too damn high. The war's
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: added to inflation. We still are, if this all works out,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: you still have major problems that are taking place in
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: getting some raw materials, and there's still major issues in
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: the oil industry. We shall see as time goes on.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to sit here and justify,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: because Trump does it, it's okay. I agree with your
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: basic premise. I agree with your premise. I would never
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: vote for Amy Acton. I will vote for Vivek. And
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: sometimes it's the lesser of two evils. And so I
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: would vote for him over Amy Acton.
• 31:23
  Speaker 14: I thought God wasn't a big fan of a great guy,
• 31:25
  Speaker 14: but I told you Trussell was the guy who could
• 31:27
  Speaker 14: have walked away with it.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: But it would be worse if she's elected. But I
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: also can sit here and say the gap is getting
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: too wide between the haves and the have-nots and the
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: working people. I totally understand that. with what people are
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: saying that do all the right things and are saying,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: you want to bring somebody in to take their job
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: and pay them a lot less? Is that the direction
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: you want the country to go? And as I said yesterday,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: that's what created unions and why unions came about. And
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: people need to remember that. That's all I can say.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: That's all I got.
• 32:04
  Speaker 14: I agree with you. I completely agree with you.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: But, It is what it is.
• 32:10
  Speaker 14: You know, we are where we are. We didn't get
• 32:12
  Speaker 14: here by what we did yesterday. And I don't think
• 32:14
  Speaker 14: people realize the ramifications of elections. And it'll go back
• 32:19
  Speaker 14: to why I called you yesterday, what I wanted to
• 32:21
  Speaker 14: tell you. A month and a half ago, I told
• 32:23
  Speaker 14: you that the Republicans will maintain the majority of Congress
• 32:28
  Speaker 14: after the midterms. And people think I'm nuts when I
• 32:30
  Speaker 14: say that. Well, look what's happening in the Democrat party.
• 32:34
  Speaker 14: There is such a divide within that party. as we
• 32:38
  Speaker 14: see the socialists taking over and removing what you and
• 32:46
  Speaker 14: I wouldn't even call moderates. We'd call them progressives. And
• 32:50
  Speaker 14: when it comes to national elections, America has spoken time
• 32:54
  Speaker 14: and time again as a whole. They don't want to
• 32:57
  Speaker 14: live in a socialist country. So I think the Democrats...
• 33:00
  Speaker 14: I mean, I'm just sitting back and I'm enjoying watching
• 33:02
  Speaker 14: the Democrat Party.
• 33:04
  Speaker 17: Implode from within.
• 33:06
  Speaker 14: And Trump won't be on the ballot any longer. You know, midterms,
• 33:10
  Speaker 14: you could say there's a Trump factor. His name's not
• 33:13
  Speaker 14: on the ballot. And what are they going to do
• 33:15
  Speaker 14: in two years from now when they can't run against Trump?
• 33:20
  Speaker 14: They could still hint his name and throw it out there,
• 33:22
  Speaker 14: but guess what? Half of America's okay with it. We'd
• 33:26
  Speaker 14: rather have him than Kamala Harris. So, you know, I
• 33:30
  Speaker 14: always look at the glass half-full, not half-empty. I agree
• 33:33
  Speaker 14: with everything you said. I don't disagree with you. But
• 33:36
  Speaker 14: they're not simple solutions. You've got to look at the
• 33:38
  Speaker 14: big picture, why we got here, the opportunities that are
• 33:41
  Speaker 14: present today for kids that you and I didn't have. Yes, well,
• 33:44
  Speaker 14: housing is expensive and the cost of living is expensive.
• 33:48
  Speaker 14: Kids are making a heck of a lot more money today.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Right, but there's positives and there's negatives. It's not all bad. Right,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: but I'll be the first to say... We've got a
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: serious issue going on with inflation.
• 34:01
  Speaker 14: It's like it's getting too expensive for everyone.
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: Correct.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: For everything.
• 34:05
  Speaker 14: For everyone. For everything and everyone. Doesn't matter your age.
• 34:09
  Speaker 14: The grocery store register doesn't discriminate based on age. It
• 34:13
  Speaker 14: charges you and I the same thing.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Thank you, Ted. Appreciate it.
• 34:17
  Speaker 20: Ted the Conservative.
• 34:19

  Speaker 1: as a customer of Stadium GM's. First and foremost, it's

• 35:03
  Speaker 1: want your business. They want to keep your business. They
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: want the rest of your family's business, and they want
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: to keep it. And that's how they operated and continue
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: to operate over the years. You're genuinely not a number
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: on a page of some big conglomerates. They really do
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: get to know their customers. And I'm proud to say
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: that my family are customers at Stadium GM. I've got
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: a Chevy Traverse this year, 2026, at Stadium GM. And
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: it couldn't have been a better experience. It's where we
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: bought our Chevy Cruzes before that. Couldn't be a better experience.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: So I want to share it with you if you're
• 35:38

  Speaker 1: Thank you for calling.
• 36:08
  Speaker 16: Thank you. Hey, I stopped at the fireplace about a
• 36:12
  Speaker 16: week or two ago and had dinner.
• 36:14
  Speaker 14: It was excellent.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that.
• 36:16
  Speaker 14: It is.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Tommy and Karen are wonderful human beings.
• 36:21
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I went there. I was trying to go someplace different,
• 36:23
  Speaker 16: and then you kind of... Bring them up every once.
• 36:26
  Speaker 14: In a while.
• 36:27
  Speaker 16: So I'm like, oh, let's go there. And, man, it
• 36:28
  Speaker 16: was good. It was very good and very reasonably priced, too.
• 36:31
  Speaker 16: The price was great.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're good people. Locally owned and operated. Very good people.
• 36:36
  Speaker 16: But I wanted to share an experience I had last night.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: You're not going to be talking about sexual relations, are you? Okay,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: let me do my headlines and come back to you,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: all right? Let me get the news out of the way.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I want to hear what experience he had last night.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Could be intriguing. Back right after this. Call or stay.
• 36:59
  Speaker 21: From ABC News, I'm Chuck Sievertson.
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: The U.S.
• 37:03
  Speaker 21: Official confirms that Iran attacked a ship in the Strait
• 37:06
  Speaker 21: of Hormuz with a drone today, the first attack since
• 37:09
  Speaker 21: Iran and the U.S. signed that initial agreement. ABC's Louis
• 37:12
  Speaker 21: Martinez covers the Pentagon.
• 37:13
  Speaker 22: Very tenuous situation because over the 60 days that the
• 37:17
  Speaker 22: United States and Iran are supposed to be negotiating further
• 37:20
  Speaker 22: movement towards an eventual full agreement, there's a lot of
• 37:23
  Speaker 22: instability about what could actually happen.
• 37:25
  Speaker 21: Seven arrests and 18 police reports are cited by the
• 37:28
  Speaker 21: National Park Service, and what it alleges was vandalism that
• 37:32
  Speaker 21: led to damage to the algae-filled and sealer-flaking of the
• 37:35
  Speaker 21: reflecting pond at the Lincoln Memorial. also alleging graffiti at
• 37:39
  Speaker 21: the Washington Monument and fuel lines cut at the Great
• 37:41
  Speaker 21: American State Fair. A federal judge has blocked part of
• 37:44
  Speaker 21: a President Trump executive order that would mandate how states
• 37:47
  Speaker 21: would run their mail-in voting operations.
• 37:50
  Speaker 23: ABC's Peter Harlambous.
• 37:51
  Speaker 13: This is the third judge in just one week to
• 37:54
  Speaker 13: block elements of President Trump's attempt to increase federal oversight
• 37:58
  Speaker 13: over elections. And at this point, both of his executive
• 38:01
  Speaker 13: orders on elections have been blocked by the courts.
• 38:04
  Speaker 21: Supreme Court says the maker of Roundup weed killer can't
• 38:06
  Speaker 21: be sued under state law for failing to warn users
• 38:09
  Speaker 21: about the product's alleged cancer risk because the EPA didn't
• 38:13
  Speaker 21: require a warning. Supreme Court conservative majorities today rule that
• 38:17
  Speaker 21: the government can keep asylum seekers from entering the U.S.
• 38:20
  Speaker 21: and can cancel the temporary protected status granted to Haitians
• 38:24
  Speaker 21: and Syrians. After deadly earthquakes overnight in Venezuela, at least
• 38:28
  Speaker 21: 188 people are dead, nearly 1,000 others injured. The airport's damage,
• 38:33
  Speaker 21: says ABC's Marcus Moore.
• 38:34
  Speaker 24: We understand that one of the runways was cracked, so
• 38:37
  Speaker 24: that will undoubtedly affect the emergency response that is really
• 38:40
  Speaker 24: just now getting underway today. The power is out in
• 38:43
  Speaker 24: parts of the country and people being evacuated from businesses
• 38:46
  Speaker 24: and buildings. And so these are, without a doubt, the
• 38:49
  Speaker 24: most critical hours in the race to save people who
• 38:52
  Speaker 24: may be trapped in the rubble. R.
• 38:53
  Speaker 23: Marcus Moore, and you're listening to ABC News.
• 38:59

• 39:53
  Speaker 1: you know, G2 and all that. He'd be joining us

  Speaker 1: just earlier. But four hours is a long haul by
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: the time I get out of here. I mean, dinner
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: way too late and all this kind of stuff. So anyway,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: that's a little thing I wanted to advise you of
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: as well. I'm interested in what this guy has to say.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: So what happened last night that you wanted to share?
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: Okay, so..
• 40:13
  Speaker 16: I was just at home watching the news.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 40:17
  Speaker 16: And about these crazies that got elected in New York
• 40:21
  Speaker 16: that were there. I mean, there's stuff like no border.
• 40:24
  Speaker 16: They want to abolish the border. No police. They're communists.
• 40:28
  Speaker 16: And they're elected. And then I flipped the channel. Then
• 40:31
  Speaker 16: they're talking again about, you know, the Europeans are so upset.
• 40:35
  Speaker 16: Their communities are.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Going to hell.
• 40:36
  Speaker 16: Still about, you know, this immigration is destroying them. And
• 40:41
  Speaker 16: did you ever just turn off and you're like, you
• 40:42
  Speaker 16: just can't watch anymore? you know, and you're just like, yes,
• 40:47
  Speaker 16: I'm like, all right, man. So I went to bed,
• 40:50
  Speaker 16: and I had this nightmare. Can I describe you? And
• 40:54
  Speaker 16: it was, I'm at Target in this, and I'm leaving
• 41:02
  Speaker 16: Target with my shopping cart filled with items I just
• 41:06
  Speaker 16: bought and groceries, and it was filled, and I get
• 41:09
  Speaker 16: surrounded by these by these people they're they're like they're
• 41:12
  Speaker 16: like group of men i'm not sure what they were
• 41:15
  Speaker 16: they didn't speak english they weren't from here okay in
• 41:18
  Speaker 16: this dream and they just start taking everything out of
• 41:22
  Speaker 16: my out of my truck back out of my cart
• 41:25
  Speaker 16: and i'm like that's mine and then you know i'm
• 41:26
  Speaker 16: fighting them and i try to stop them i just
• 41:28
  Speaker 16: get fed up and i'm like stop it and you
• 41:31
  Speaker 16: know this isn't yours and they're like speaking i couldn't
• 41:33
  Speaker 16: understand them and then finally the cop come cross count
• 41:37
  Speaker 16: and he's like Oh, what's going on?
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: What's going on?
• 41:39
  Speaker 16: I'm like, well, this guy, you know, I pushed him
• 41:41
  Speaker 16: because he was, the cops are like, well, you're under arrest.
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: You can't do that to these people.
• 41:45
  Speaker 16: You know, you're, you're, you violated, you're violating them. And you're, you're,
• 41:49
  Speaker 16: this is hateful of you to do. And he throws
• 41:51
  Speaker 16: him on the ground. The cops cover me. And I
• 41:53
  Speaker 16: wake up gasping and I'm like, oh my God, that
• 41:56
  Speaker 16: was a terror.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: I swear to God, I had this dream.
• 41:59
  Speaker 16: And I'm like, you know what? This probably happened to somebody.
• 42:02
  Speaker 16: I think this might have happened to somebody in Europe
• 42:04
  Speaker 16: or something.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, it did. Or it might have happened here. Yes,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: it did. It happened to the guy. You're absolutely correct.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: It happened to the guy that was attacked in Europe
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: by an immigrant or whatever you want to– somebody that
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: was in the country that they let in. And they were–
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: and he ultimately died. I'm trying to think what they–
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: what the guy did to him. I don't know. I
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: don't know if he cut his throat or what he did.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: And the cops came, and the guy that committed the
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: crime called, and he said, send the cops. Some guy's
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: making racist comments or something about me. This was after
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: he attacked the guy and slit his throat. And then
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: when the cops got there, the guy that's truly the victim,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: they handcuffed him. And we're arresting him, and he ultimately
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: died because of that. So I didn't do a very
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: good job of telling the story, but you get the
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: gist of it. I mean, so what you're saying really
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: did happen in Europe. That guy was the victim of
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: one of these crazed immigrants that cut his throat, tried
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: cutting his head off, cut his throat. He's just walking
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: down the street.
• 43:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 43:21
  Speaker 16: Because, you know what, now that you say that, that
• 43:23
  Speaker 16: does ring a bell. And maybe that just, like, affected
• 43:26
  Speaker 16: me subconsciously.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: That's exactly what affected you, because that is the story
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: as it happened. There were two immigrants from whatever country
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: that they let him in in Europe, and this guy's
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: just minding his own business walking down the street, and
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: they attack him trying to cut his head off. And
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: he's on the grounds, and people see what's going on,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: and try to prevent it as i as i'm going
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: by my memory then the people that were committed the
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: crime called the cops and accused that the that this
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: guy was making racist statements to him which was all
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: a lie the cops got there the guys injured and
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: they handcuff him and they're going to arrest him thinking
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: he's the troublemaker and he dies.
• 44:12
  Speaker 16: Okay yeah it's all ringing a bell now because.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Um And that's where you got it. This is the
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: craziness that's going on in Europe right now. This is
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: why you see the unrest in Ireland going on right
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: now from the Irish people. You have people in Ireland
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: that are saying they're sick and damn tired of their governments.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Just like in this country. I'll go back on this.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: We never voted in this country to say let's let
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: millions of people into our country illegally. We were never
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: asked about it. We never voted on it. our laws
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: weren't enforced for that. No one, and it waters down
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: your citizenship. It brings people into your country. It costs
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: you money and tax dollars and affects your community and
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: waters down your citizenship and you never had a say
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: so on it. Well, the same damn thing is happening
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: in Europe and in Germany and the Ireland people were,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: the Irish people were just irate and you got a
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: lot of unrest over the policies that they don't have
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: a say so and how the And how they're being treated,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: how the, for lack of a better term, the native
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: Irish people are being treated. It's unbelievable if you follow it.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.
• 45:27
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, so that frustration must have just came through, like,
• 45:31
  Speaker 16: into me. And it woke me up. And I felt so, like, just...
• 45:36
  Speaker 16: mad and frustrated you know i couldn't sleep for an
• 45:38
  Speaker 16: hour i'm just like boy if that happened to me
• 45:40
  Speaker 16: i would be so angry right you know.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: That's what that's what had to trigger to you the
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: only thing i don't i don't agree with listen is
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: um how do i put it you can't stick your
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: head in the sand when i hear people say man
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: i don't want to i don't want to watch the
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: news or i don't want to hear the news that
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean this stuff doesn't happen and that doesn't mean
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: the problem doesn't go away ignorance they say ignorance is
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: bliss but it's still ignorance You better know what's going
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: on in your country, in your community. You have a
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: duty to be an informed citizen and to form your
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: thoughts about it. Don't be persuaded by biased coverage of anything,
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: but you have a duty to be informed. I don't
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: care how depressing it might be. You better pay attention
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: to it because it can come to affect you. So
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: I understand how you can get burned out on it
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: and that kind of stuff, but don't become ignorant. That's
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: all I'm saying to you. Pay attention to what's going
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: on in your community and in your country. Because if
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: you don't, they get away with it.
• 46:44
  Speaker 16: Yeah, and watch how you're voting.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes.
• 46:49
  Speaker 16: Before I go, I wanted to send out a thank
• 46:52
  Speaker 16: you to Ted, the conservative.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 46:55
  Speaker 14: Because he..
• 46:58
  Speaker 16: Explain something to me about two weeks ago when I
• 47:00
  Speaker 16: was asking about people using the term Zionist all the time.
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 47:04
  Speaker 16: Like, it's almost like a euphemism for like..
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 47:09
  Speaker 16: It's like a slur sometimes, I think, towards Jewish people.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: No, that is good.
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: So, I don't know.
• 47:16
  Speaker 16: I just think that when people use that word, they
• 47:18
  Speaker 16: should explain who they're talking about. You can't, you know,
• 47:20
  Speaker 16: like if I was talking about Muslims, I should be
• 47:22
  Speaker 16: allowed to just say, oh, the terrorists are over there.
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
• 47:25
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: I gotcha.
• 47:27
  Speaker 16: And, So, like, when people, like, because some of those
• 47:29
  Speaker 16: people that call in here that say that, like, all
• 47:31
  Speaker 16: the time, and I'm like, well, who exactly are you
• 47:33
  Speaker 16: talking about?
• 47:34
  Speaker 14: Because I have.
• 47:34
  Speaker 16: Jewish friends, and they go to Israel, and I don't say, oh,
• 47:37
  Speaker 16: you're a Zionist. I think they would take great.
• 47:40
  Speaker 14: Offense to that.
• 47:41
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: You got it, Tiger.
• 47:43
  Speaker 16: But anyway, thank you for taking my call.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you for calling NewsRadio 570. You're on the air.
• 47:49
  Speaker 20: Well, I guess they blew up a ship in the
• 47:52
  Speaker 20: state of Chattanooga, so they broke the agreement.
• 47:56
  Speaker 7: Let's see what Trump does.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Now I've got to check into that. Let me go
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: to my feed here because I'm broadcasting. When did this happen?
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: U.S.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: Fighter jet takes to the skies after Iran targets cargo
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: ship in Hormuz choke points. All right.
• 48:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so did.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: All right. So let's get the story. It's Bubba Ganoush
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: on the other line. Let's get the story here and
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: find out.
• 48:20
  Speaker 20: Yeah, because I confuse everybody.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: Let's see. F-16 fighter jets fly over the Middle East
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: during a patrol.
• 48:31
  Speaker 22: U.S.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: Forces remain present. Vigilance throughout the region.
• 48:35
  Speaker 7: The ship didn't pay up their boat.
• 48:41
  Speaker 14: You know, like a speed, so they.
• 48:43
  Speaker 20: Blew it up.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: I'm looking for that. I don't see it. I mean,
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: I see the headline, but I can't see the story.
• 48:51
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, but you're.
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: Telling me what's... It's all over the news.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. I'm just looking. Yeah, but I'm talking about
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: all the details of it. I want a full story
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: of it. You follow what I'm saying?
• 49:08
  Speaker 18: There you go, Ron.
• 49:09
  Speaker 14: I want the whole story.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking for the whole story. I'm looking for
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: the total story.
• 49:16
  Speaker 7: Absolutely correct.
• 49:18
  Speaker 17: Right.
• 49:18
  Speaker 7: Well, look, it.
• 49:19
  Speaker 14: You know there's a small entrance into the Strait of Shattamouf, right?
• 49:25
  Speaker 14: That's where they got him.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: What type of... After Iran targets a cargo ship. I mean,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: was it an oil ship?
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: Cargo.
• 49:35
  Speaker 17: I mean, you know, it could have been a totalizer.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 49:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm looking for the details of it. I
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: want to know the details.
• 49:44
  Speaker 7: Well, anyhow, they shouldn't have hit any ships.
• 49:46
  Speaker 16: Yeah. I don't care what it was.
• 49:49
  Speaker 7: Oil or cargo. Mm-hmm.
• 49:52
  Speaker 15: They broke the treaty, right, Ron?
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: Well, it seemed to me that that would be breaking
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: a treaty. That doesn't seem like a ceasefire, does it?
• 50:01
  Speaker 16: That don't seem like a ceasefire to me.
• 50:03
  Speaker 17: And then the proxy, Hezbollah, you know? is blowing up
• 50:09
  Speaker 17: Lebanon or blowing up Israel so they can blow up Lebanon.
• 50:13
  Speaker 7: That's my life.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just, it's crazy. I mean, it's, I'm
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: going to find a story and I'll try to, I'll
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: try to give you everything I have.
• 50:25
  Speaker 15: I know, but I'm telling you, you can't trust these people.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: I feel bad for Trump.
• 50:31
  Speaker 17: I really do.
• 50:31
  Speaker 14: Because he's given them the benefit of the doubt.
• 50:36
  Speaker 17: He's letting them sell oil on the regular market.
• 50:40
  Speaker 18: He's offering them grain, corn, and soy to feed their people.
• 50:44
  Speaker 17: And they still punk them.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: The U.N. pauses straight after Hormuz's evacuation plan after cargo
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: ship attacked. So, I mean, what the hell's going on, right? Yeah.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: What a mess. What an absolute mess.
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: No, not what a mess.
• 51:03
  Speaker 6: What a liar.
• 51:04
  Speaker 17: That's what I'm saying. Blow the crap out of him, Ron.
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: I told you that three weeks ago.
• 51:10
  Speaker 25: All right.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Bubba Ganoush, thank you. I'm going to look into it.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: You're on the air.
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: Ron, good afternoon, sir.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, Rich.
• 51:20
  Speaker 7: Um..
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: I hope now, since we have a Supreme Court decision
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: today that says we can take the Haitians and start
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: getting rid of them, deporting them out of the country.
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: If I was in the Ohio legislature with Dave Thomas,
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: I think what they should do is to make sure
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: that DeWine is on the first flight out with them.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: Because how does he veto?
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, he loves these Haitians. This guy, he can't
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: talk enough. He loves them. We'll put him Put him
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: on the boat to Haiti. Get him out of here.
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: How do you veto the stuff that he vetoes?
• 52:00
  Speaker 7: I don't understand.
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: How do you not support having voter ID?
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: I have no clue. Now, with that being said, I mean,
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: in Ohio, I never question how secure our elections are
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: in Ohio. I think we do it the right way.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: And as Dave Thomas reminded me, when you get an
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: absentee ballot here, supposedly they do a signature check, and
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: supposedly on that form you have to put the last
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: four of your Social Security or your driver's license numbers.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: So there's some check and balance to make sure you
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: are who you are when they're mailing you And absentee ballots.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: So I like the idea of the additional check just
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: to have my own faith in my voting system here
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: in Ohio. But I like what Dave Thomas is doing,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: saying they want to introduce a constitutional amendment. which requires
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: a photo ID. And I support that more than anything
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: because governors can change things around. I want a constitutional
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: amendment that says, I just want to be secure in voting.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: I don't want my citizenship watered down. I don't think
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: it's a big deal. You need a photo ID to
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: get on an airplane. You need one at the bank.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: You need one when you go to the doctor. So
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's a big deal to show one
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: when you go to vote or to get an absentee ballot.
• 53:16
  Speaker 14: Do you?
• 53:18
  Speaker 18: Not at all.
• 53:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, having an ID today is a requirement. It's
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: not even an option. If you want to do anything
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: in life in our country, you have to prove to
• 53:30
  Speaker 5: somebody who you are constantly. So I don't see why
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: it's an issue. And one thing with Trump, like yesterday
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: when he blew up that noon signing ceremony, he said,
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to sign it until you pass the
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: Save America Act. Remember in the old days when Tip
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: and Ronnie got together.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: And each of them got.
• 53:47
  Speaker 5: About half of what they wanted?
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Right, but that's the old days. Listen, I agree with
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: Trump when he's talking about voter ID for..
• 53:55
  Speaker 5: So do I.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't understand why this is even remotely controversial.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: So you've got to show an ID to vote. Why
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: is that a big deal? I mean, I do it
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: every time I vote here. I'm not offended by it.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: It's not racist to me. It's how we operate in Ohio.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, why is it wrong to make sure our
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: election process is secure so that everybody's confidence that the
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: system is sound? For example, who supports this California method
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: of we mail a ballot out to everybody? They could
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: be dead. They could have moved. I mean, that's not...
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: Stand by for a second. Back with Rich... and more
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: in a minute.
• 54:34
  Speaker 9: Youngstown's news, weather, and talk station, 570 WKBN.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: So we're on Verb 424 in the afternoon news radio,
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: 570 WKBN. Let me spend a little bit of time
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: with you in addressing what Ted was saying, Rich. It's
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: hard for me to explain what, I get what you're saying,
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: and I understand the anger and frustration of your adult children,
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: they're saying they're not crazy about Vivek or this H-1B visas,
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: letting all these people come in.
• 55:06
  Speaker 5: And I think the big difference is, if it was
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: just another Republican that espoused the same things that Vivek
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: was stating, it would be one thing. I think a
• 55:15
  Speaker 5: lot of it has to do with the fact that
• 55:16
  Speaker 5: he's Indian, and there's video of him actually saying, we
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: need to embrace India and get more people here from India.
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: And if you look at Indian firms in this country,
• 55:25
  Speaker 5: a lot of these firms that come over that are
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: started by Indian nationals that have emigrated to this country,
• 55:32
  Speaker 5: you go into those firms, there are no Americans. All
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: they hire are other Indians. So their concern is, you know,
• 55:39
  Speaker 5: you do the right thing. You study hard in school.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: You go.
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: You take a difficult major. You do well in it.
• 55:46
  Speaker 5: You get a job. And then all of a sudden...
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: The company you work for says, I'm tired of paying
• 55:52
  Speaker 5: this kid $ 115, 000. I can go get a guy in
• 55:55
  Speaker 5: India that'll do it for $ 50, 000. And that's just one
• 55:59
  Speaker 5: of the issues. I mean, it's not just H-1B. The
• 56:02
  Speaker 5: fact that the Republicans... My daughter works in the auto industry,
• 56:06
  Speaker 5: and she's just beside herself that they're going to start
• 56:09
  Speaker 5: tracking these cars now. They have the kill switch in
• 56:12
  Speaker 5: the car. So the government's going to be able to
• 56:15
  Speaker 5: shut your car off whenever they want. and basically tracking you.
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: The loss of privacy that that generation has experienced is alarming,
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: to be honest with you. All of us, not just
• 56:25
  Speaker 5: that generation. But if you look at what's happened just
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: since the development of social media, And now these traffic cameras,
• 56:33
  Speaker 5: these flock traffic cameras.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: Do you really think, I mean, I got to tell you,
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: when I hear the whole flock traffic cameras, the flock
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: traffic cameras are there to catch criminals. I really can
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: tell you.
• 56:44
  Speaker 5: Tracking your iPhone and iWatch and AirTag your snow.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: But who's going to track it? I mean, I don't
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: mean to be a smartass. Who cares where Richard Pharmacist
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: is going today or what he's doing? I mean, do
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: you think that there's. Do you think that's. The flock
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: cameras that the cops use are there to get cars
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: that are stolen or plates that they're looking for. They're
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: there for the purposes of criminals is why they have
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: flock cameras. I don't think when I go to a
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: community that has flock cameras, I don't think they give
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: a damn about me or my plate because it doesn't matter.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: It's not going to come up because it's not stolen
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: or I'm not fleeing from the police or whatever. I mean,
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think that they're sitting there How do I
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: put it this way? I'm not even remotely worried about
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: flock cameras. I think we can get to the point
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: of absolute paranoia, and I think it's getting a little ridiculous, too.
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: It doesn't bother me because I agree with you, but
• 57:47
  Speaker 5: why are they now going to start tracking your iPhone,
• 57:50
  Speaker 5: your AirTags, your iWatch? I mean, at what point, you know,
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: and if that's the case, then maybe this is something
• 57:57
  Speaker 5: that needs to be really highly regulated. Yeah, you can
• 58:00
  Speaker 5: use it, but you can't sell the data. After a
• 58:03
  Speaker 5: certain amount of time, you have to destroy the data.
• 58:07
  Speaker 5: There's just these assaults on our freedoms, and quite frankly,
• 58:12
  Speaker 5: they're just very, very disappointed with Trump and the Republicans
• 58:15
  Speaker 5: for not doing what they said. They want mass deportations.
• 58:20
  Speaker 5: I would like nothing more than to see ICE down
• 58:23
  Speaker 5: in Springfield next week, rounding up the Haitians, putting them
• 58:27
  Speaker 5: on a boat, and shipping them back to Haiti. Get
• 58:30
  Speaker 5: them all out. They should have never been here in
• 58:32
  Speaker 5: the first place. I'm tired of letting people into this
• 58:34
  Speaker 5: country that should have never been let into this country
• 58:37
  Speaker 5: just because somebody has a sob story and they feel
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: sorry for them. It's time to go. What are we at?
• 58:44
  Speaker 5: I think roughly two and a half million deportations, and
• 58:49
  Speaker 5: that's including people who are supposedly self-deported.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: Stand by, Rich. I'll say it again. Coming to America
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: is a privilege. It's not a right. And we have
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: a right to have legal immigration. Stand by. News Radio

• 59:03
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: It's 5 o'clock, legal show, courtesy of Beatrice Kopp. 6 o'clock,
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: Money Talks with John Arnold on News Radio 570 WKVN
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: on a Thursday, June 25th, 76 degrees. You understand, Ted
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: the Conservative, he agrees with me and you on the
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: discussion on the visa program and what's going on with
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: the concern that your kids have over their careers and
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: their education and the observations that they're making, saying that
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: this bothers them about Vivek, period.
• 59:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's bigger than just that with the younger.
• 59:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, trust me, I'm voting for Vivek. Like I said,
• 59:48
  Speaker 5: I'd vote for him a thousand times. I know other Republicans,
• 59:53
  Speaker 5: rock-rib Republicans, who won't vote for him simply because he's Indian,
• 59:56
  Speaker 5: and they don't trust him.
• 59:58
  Speaker 18: Mm-hmm.
• 59:59
  Speaker 5: You know, it's not based on policy. It's because of
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 5: what he is, not who he is.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: I wonder if that's the case.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 5: I've had multiple conversations with those people.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but here's the reality. Let me put it this way.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: And I think I've said this to you before, as
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: I would say to all of you. Amy Acton was
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: a good choice to run for governor. And remember, I
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: remind everybody, they wanted her out and Tim Ryan in
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: to be their candidate. And I said to you, Tim
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: Ryan would be a lousy candidate. Amy Acton would be
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: a better candidate. Do you agree with that, Rich? Yes? Absolutely. Absolutely.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: And Amy Acton, because, well, people are familiar with her
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: because she's a doctor, she's a woman, and how she speaks.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: So she's got a lot of assets that attract a
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: lot of people. First of all, let's deal with some stereotypes.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: A lot of times women will vote for another woman.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: That's just the reality. You've got to deal with reality.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: So she's a woman. She can attract a lot of
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: the female votes. A lot of people say, well, she's
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: a doctor. They'll know her from the COVID situation. And
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: just how she speaks to people, her demeanor is something
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: that I think attracts a lot of people. Most people
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: don't know anything about what she stands for. I mean,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: you really haven't heard her speak about the issues. in
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: any in-depth interviews that people actually know where she stands
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: or what she believes on. Hopefully more of that will
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: come out close to the election. Meanwhile, you look at
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: Vivek as a carpetbagger. I don't think about Vivek Ramaswamy
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: as an Ohioan. I never really made the connection at all.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: He's an Ohio guy. He seems more like... But he is.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 5: He was born, bred, and raised here.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I just don't make that connection. I mean,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: where did... He might have been born here, but you
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: just don't see him as an Ohio guy. And I
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: think a lot of people view it that way. And
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: will some people discriminate against him because of his background?
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: Perhaps so. But then on the other hand, you have
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: people that will vote for you. I've been around a
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: long time. People will vote for somebody. If they're Irish,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: they'll vote for a guy with an Irish name, right?
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: If people are black, they'll vote for a candidate because
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: they're black. Or if they're white, they're white. There's a
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: million reasons why people vote for the person that they
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: vote for. Whether, oh, I'm Italian, they're Italian, this kind
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: of stuff. I hate to say it, not everyone is
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: an informed voter. We have a lot of low-information voters.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: So Vivek, in that H-1B visa thing, pisses off your kids,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: and they have a right to be upset about it.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: Ted was merely saying, so they'll vote for Amy Acton,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: who comes from the party of open borders and letting
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: everybody in. That's kind of not a wise decision.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 5: I don't think they'll vote for her. I just think
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 5: they won't vote for governor.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, really? Well, take a stand. You've got to take
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: a stand. You've got to vote for one or the other.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 5: And it's, I mean, but basically they're looking at it
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 5: sort of as a protest vote.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, and what I equated it to, I said,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 5: you're going to make the same mistake I did in 1992.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 5: I voted for Perot. It was the correct vote. I
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 5: think Perot was the best candidate in the race.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: So did I.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 5: But all it did was lead to, yeah, but by
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 5: us doing that, it led to Bill Clinton. You made
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 5: the same mistake in 2012. You hated Romney so bad
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 5: you voted for Barack for a second term.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 5: And that was a disaster. So we make decisions that
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 5: aren't necessarily rational when we look back at them, but
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 5: seem to be the right thing to do at the time.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 5: Does that make any sense?
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: Yes. I feel like I'm in a therapy session. That
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: makes perfect sense because I'm guilty as charged. Absolutely, that
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: makes sense to me.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 5: Now, in another topic, I sent you an article today.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 5: There was a power outage yesterday, I think, in Austintown.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 5: How long was it?
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: Quite a long time. I mean, it got on around
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: 4 o'clock. No, I did not hang up on him.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know what happened there. We'll pick it up
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: with that. It got on around 4 o'clock. It was
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: off from, let's say, 9 in the morning until 4 o'clock. basically,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: and then it came back on. But they're saying if
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: any of your food's spoiled, that if you're on SNAP,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: you might be able to get it replaced, that they'll
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: give you some more money to go replace it. But
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: I think if you keep your refrigerator closed, you wouldn't
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: have that problem. You're on the air.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 14: Hello?
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 7: Hi, Ron.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 26: Yes.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Colin, going back a few calls relative to the
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 12: wine and the death penalty. And you and I discussed
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 12: months ago briefly about it in general. And my frustration
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 12: with anybody political, it's not a political, it's when individuals
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 12: don't stand true to whatever their principles are.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 7: And sometimes.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 17: Don't.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 12: But, you know, you have all these callers that call
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 12: in expressing their frustration with the amount of taxes they pay.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 12: And boss lady was on a week ago or so
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 12: talking about, I don't want to pay for, you know,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 12: soccer fields. I don't want to pay for, you know,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 12: she saw that whole list of how the money was
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 12: being spent in the state. And those are the things
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 12: we need to cut and so on and so forth.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 12: But with the death penalty, does everybody understand the appeals
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 12: that go on for those that have been convicted of
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 12: the death penalty and why they sit on death row
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 12: for decades?
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 12: And during that entire time, the public tax dollar is
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 12: paying for public defenders to appeal.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 7: The death penalty in general.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 12: Hundreds of thousands of dollars are wasted. on a process
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 12: that is essentially stopped because they're not giving us the
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 12: drugs even to kill anybody anymore. I share with you
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 12: and you agreed, if somebody.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 7: In your family was raped and murdered.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 12: And just this atrocious, despicable crime, nothing's gonna fix that.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 12: You could put that person to death and it's not
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 12: gonna bring your loved one back and it's not gonna.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 7: Take away the dreadful way that they were killed.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 12: But the second goal needs to be just don't let
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 12: that person be.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 7: Able to do that ever, ever again.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 12: And I think life in prison, lock the door, throw
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 12: away the key, and they never, ever get out. And
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 12: then you don't appeal anything. And now we've gotten the
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 12: same result without.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 7: All the money being wasted.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 12: So how can somebody on one hand complain about how
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 12: their taxes are being wasted and on the other hand
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 12: just stand there and continue to try to defend the
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 12: death penalty, a penalty, by the way, that does not
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 12: discourage people from killing somebody. Somebody's not saying, oh, I
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 12: won't get.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 7: Killed if I murder this person. They're not thinking about that.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 12: They're not deciding am.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 7: I going to do life in prison or am I
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 7: going to.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 9: You know what I mean?
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 12: Like it's a ridiculous argument. Save the tax dollars, lock
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 12: them away for life. End of story.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 7: I don't understand.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: I know you don't understand. Because it's not always about
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: a deterrence. Like I say, if you look down the
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: road and you don't see a state patrolman sitting in
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: between the highway... You speed, right? You say, okay, I
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: can go fast. I don't see a cop. But if
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: you look down there and you see that state he's
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: sitting there, you're going to go the speed limit. You
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: follow me? So there is the deterrent effect for law-abiding citizens.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: You don't want to get caught... Because the cop's sitting
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: down there. If you don't see him, you might speed
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: and say he was hiding behind a bush or something
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: like that. So there is a deterrent. It is why
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of people don't do certain things. They fear
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: the IRS. They fear getting a speeding ticket. That keeps
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: you in line as a law-abiding citizen. People who break
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: the law..
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 12: As a law-abiding citizen.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not done. As a law-abiding citizen.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: And people who break the law often don't think about
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: that for one reason. They think they're going to get
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: away with it. They don't think they're going to get caught.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: They're going to think, I can murder you and I'm
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: not going to get caught. I can rob this bank
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to get away. They wouldn't do it
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: if they thought they were going to get caught. So
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: let's start with that basic premise of a criminal. But
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: it's also about... punishment. It's not always about deterrent. And
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: I will sit here and say directly to you, when
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: I read about how some of these people kill some
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: of their victims, as I say, my dark side says
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: we should put them to death the same damn way
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: they killed their victim. You saw that, you cut that
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: girl's throat sitting on the subway in New York, so
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: she went and gasping for breath, knowing she was bleeding
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: to death and dying. You did that to her. We
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: saw it on videotape. Life in prison is too damn
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: good for you. In my world, I think we should
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: cut your throat and let you experience the living hell
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: you put that woman through. And I think that is punishment.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: It's not about a deterrent. It's not going to bring
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: her back, but it's punishment so that you understand what
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: you did to that person. The person that he gave
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: a waiver to as far as the death penalty, incidentally,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: our system, our criminal justice system that sentenced him and
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: sentenced him to death, which is how our system works.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: He decides, okay, we're not going to put this guy
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: to death who, as I said, broke into someone's house.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: And how did they kill the person? They lit him
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: on fire and burned him to death.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 12: Ron, I don't like this person either.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: Do you understand that? So guess what?
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 4: But that's not our law.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: That's not our law. I understand. But when he's sentenced
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: to death by a jury, that is our laws. Our
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: laws say, guess what?
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 7: And you know what our laws also have?
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 12: The ability for a governor or a president to provide pardons.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 7: Those are our laws.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: And those are our laws. I totally agree with you.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: But when a jury sits there that hears the entire
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: case and says, we find the person guilty, they didn't
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: send them to life in prison. They said, you deserve
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: the death penalty. I don't think that should be ignored.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 12: So after 25 years of somebody sitting on death row
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 12: and still isn't dead, have they gotten what they want?
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: No, they have not. And that's part of the problem.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: Because you want to explain a death penalty, when you're
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: convicted of the death penalty, there's an automatic appeal. And
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: I agree with you that it's out of control on
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: how many of these appeals. And I do think we
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: need to address that system. It takes far too long
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: and it's far too expensive to render the justice that
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: was given by the jury. So we better fix that problem.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 12: So let's just circumvent it and just stop using that.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 12: And then everybody just goes away and that person sits
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 12: in a cell and has to think about what they
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 12: did forever.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: No, because I don't agree with that. I agree with
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: the current system, and I understand exactly what you're saying.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: It's just that it's taking too long to get to
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: the death penalty, and that's what we need to address.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: Why is it taking so long to see that that
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: sentence is carried out? That's what should be addressed.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 12: Well, part of it is because there is no way
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 12: to kill them now.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I think there's many ways to kill people outside
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: of the manufacturers don't want to sell us drugs. Well,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: I guess we can go back to the electric chair.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: I guess we can go back to the firing squad.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: I guess, guess what? I guess we can go get
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: the illegal drugs and you can overdose on them. There's
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: many different ways that you can do that. But when
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: the jury that sits there and hears that case, which
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: the governor did not do, for example, this Fife boy
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: that was killed in this very community, That person should
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: not be alive today. How he killed that child and
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: how he tortured that child, he should have been dead
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: years ago.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 7: But he isn't.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: And that's the problem. You're speaking about.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 7: What you wish it would be.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 20: No.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 12: And I'm speaking about the reality.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 7: Of how it is.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm telling you the reality of how we better
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: address the system on why is it taking so long
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: and fix that part of our system.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 12: But I haven't heard anybody talk about wanting to fix it.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 12: They're just saying we're pro death penalty and he's a
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 12: whatever because he overturned it.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 7: And none of the, nobody's called and said, well, here's.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 12: What we'll do to try to fix this issue.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 5: Nothing.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't think you're going to.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 7: Get a, you know, a little thing in there saying
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 7: I'm opposed to.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 12: This and then end it.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: There you go. Well, you can be opposed to the
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: death penalty. I mean, there's people that are opposed to it.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 12: No, opposed to the fact that he did that. And
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 12: just say, I'm pro-death penalty, but yet you don't have
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 12: a solution on how to actually make the death penalty work. Well,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 12: if you don't have a solution on how to make
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 12: the death penalty work for the way you described it,
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 12: then my mind is let's take those tax dollars and
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 12: help our seniors with.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 7: The homestead exemption.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: Let's not.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 11: You know what I mean?
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: No, I do know what you mean, but let's not.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: I do not agree with this. And I totally believe
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: in punishment based on some of these horrific crimes that
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: have taken place, particularly that Fife boy. That guy should
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: have been dead years ago. And he is not. And
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: that is what the problem is. But then again, you've
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: got a governor that doesn't really deep down believe in
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: the death penalty. penalty so it's not the.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 12: Wine you like you said i mean i think i
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 12: was 15 16 years old when that kid was killed
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 12: so we're talking about 45.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: Years ago that's right and do you think he should
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: be alive today.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 7: In there yep he's still sitting.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: There all right i appreciate your call news radio 570
• 1:13:53

• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: it's so brutal. They should experience the hell they caused
• 1:15:17

  Speaker 1: Radio 570 WKBN. You're on the air.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 27: My goodness. I'm going to need my own radio show
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 27: or podcast. I don't have enough time here. I got
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 27: Moderate Elaine calling me.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 16: Out for the death penalty.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 27: And it costs like 50 cents for a bullet to
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 27: the head.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 27: Um, And these public defenders are another waste of taxpayer funds.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 27: And I know we need to represent them, but there
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 27: should be laws put on the books that we don't
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 27: have to keep these people being able to appeal and
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 27: appeal and appeal and appeal, especially in a case where
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 27: you literally watch the person do it. Okay, so I
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 27: don't know, but..
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 12: I wanted to talk.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 27: About Trumbull County and how they got it right yesterday.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: Now, what happened? Did they approve it?
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 16: They approved doubling.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 27: The owner occupancy credit.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: Did the commissioners vote for it?
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 27: They did. They voted for it, and they doubled it.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 11: And this is good because why?
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 7: We all know that.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 27: The property assessments.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 12: Are coming, and more reappraisals are coming soon.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: Hang on a second, Boss Lady. Hang on a second.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: Did they do both homestead exemption and the owner occupancy?
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 10: No.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: Just owner occupancy?
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 7: No.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 27: Just owner occupancy, which is the lesser of the two.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 27: So I don't know why Mahoning County won't do the same,
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 27: especially because Mahoning County already knows that the property valuations
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 27: could offset it. So it could be literally like a push, right?
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 27: So it's going to cause people's property taxes to not
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 27: go up.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: I tell you what, I'm going to be off Friday, Monday,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: and Tuesday, but you've got to call me Wednesday. We've
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: got to talk about this, okay? I will. Thank you.

  Speaker 10: Isn't.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 7: It?
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 25: Very thrill, yes.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: The biggest thrill. Yeah, the biggest thrill. All right. Let
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: me see if we... I got a call. I got
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: a call. Let's see what they want. You're on the
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: air with our attorneys. Hello there.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 26: Yeah, this is Dave from Howland.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, David.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 26: Hey, we're being terrorized up here by... cable installers. They're
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 26: going around. They have, I don't know what's going on.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 26: The electric goes out. The cable goes out. The gas
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 26: goes out. And it goes right down the street. Every
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 26: place they.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: Go, boom, boom, boom, boom.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 26: So you go to the township committee or township meeting.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 26: And they say, well, file a complaint. Okay, but that
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 26: doesn't do anything. These guys are still going around.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: All right, you're talking about the guys that are running
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: a cable underground, yeah.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 26: Yes, yes, exactly.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: All right, and it's getting on your nerves, they're destroying
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: your lawn, and they're causing all kinds of mayhem in Howland.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 26: Absolutely. And the township people say, well, file a complaint,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 26: and we'll go ahead and do whatever. And my point,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 26: I'm just wondering, isn't there something that's really wrong? And
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 26: you talk to the people that, you know, crash the installers,
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 26: the diggers, and it's an unmarked gas line, unmarked electric line, whatever.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 26: And it goes right down the line, boom, boom, boom,
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 26: all around, every place they go. I'm just thinking something's
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 26: really wrong. I don't know what it is. Is it training?
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 26: It's the marking. But I think the township should file
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 26: a complaint and ask for a cease and desist order
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 26: from the courts.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: Is that possible?
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: All right. That's a fair question.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 25: First, have you contacted the company?
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 26: Oh, absolutely.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 14: Sure.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 25: So if you've contacted the company and they ignore your request,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 25: I would suggest that You contact the local administration, whether
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 25: that be Boardman Township.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: Howland, he said.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 26: What does David know?
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 25: Ron.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 7: What?
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 10: And I'm a Trumbull County guy, but David always says
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 10: the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but here's the reality. I'm going to give all
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: of you a reality check.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 10: Give me a reality check.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: Are you ready, caller? Are you ready, Melfi? Yes, I'm ready.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 14: I need it.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: All right, here it comes. They're there to put in
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: the fiber cable so that you have high-speed Internet.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 18: They're doing it on a..
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: Wait a second. Just hang on a second. All right,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: let me finish.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 30: Okay.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: They're working on the easement where they're operating as an easement.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: They got a legal right to be there. They got
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: a legal right.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 7: To run that line.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 26: I'm not complaining against that.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, if you'd be quiet for a second,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: you're starting to get on my nerves. I can't finish
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: my thought.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 10: I'm sorry. It's Ron's legal show tonight.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: But I mean, right? They got the legal ability. They
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: got the easement. And sometimes they're going to hit an
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: electric line or a water line because it's underground. What
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: more do you want them to do? We'd never be
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: able to update anything. Guys, what do you say?
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 10: It's on the easement. I'll put it this way. The
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 10: diggers were kind enough to plant some new grass on
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 10: my devil strip, but obviously if they hit a gas
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 10: line and an explosion occurs, that's a different story.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 26: Well, that was in Girard.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 10: That was in Girard, but they are on the easement,
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 10: and none of us like it, but our Internet's going
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 10: to be faster.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 10: So if your question is, Just because they do poor
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 10: work and they're wreaking havoc, can you file a lawsuit?
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 25: No.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 26: I don't want a lawsuit. I want a cease and
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 26: desist court order. These guys are not trained.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 7: There's something wrong.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 10: They're not trained.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 26: The markings aren't right or something's wrong, but I don't
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 26: know what. But they're destroying the whole place.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 25: You can always contact administration and ask them to.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 26: File a complaint.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: We've done that. Then I guess they file a complaint.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: It's not going to work.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 26: And we've been doing that for months.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: All right, listen. I'm sorry. All right, listen. He keeps talking,
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: and he doesn't listen. I mean, they have a right
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: to do what they're doing, right? They're trying to update
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: a utility.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 10: They have a right to do what they're doing, and
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 10: if you wanted a cease and desist by a court,
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 10: that means filing a lawsuit, and you can't file a lawsuit.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 10: I don't like it either, trust me.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 25: Yeah, it really stinks. I hate when they do that
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 25: in my yard. My husband gets all upset about his grass.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the reality is that's kind of their property.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: It's an easement there that they can do that.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 25: It's an easement, yeah. And if it's destructive or they're
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 25: not properly trained, I mean, you can go to the administration,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 25: but nothing's really going to happen.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: If your community can't... get it in line, I don't

• 1:26:58
  Speaker 10: and David in the same sentence. I did.

  Speaker 1: I can't imagine it. He's not doing David. He was

  Speaker 1: making perfect sense to me.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 10: David's not going to call in today. I put him

• 1:27:58
  Speaker 19: I would like to know, for district magistrate law, how
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 19: long can a person wait to file a grievance with
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 19: district court, both in Pennsylvania and Ohio, please?
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: To file a grievance.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 7: I guess a magistrate..
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 6: Right, right, you know, to want a judgment in your favor.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, do you have a lawsuit?
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 25: You're not talking about a grievance. You're talking about an appeal?
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 10: No.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: What is your question? We're a little confused. I had
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: this wagon.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 3: I had this wagon in my car.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 6: Barn. This neighbor calls me up. It's early in the morning.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 6: I'm still half asleep. And he asked if he could
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 6: take this wagon. I asked the auctioneer. It sells for like.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 7: $ 2, 000 or $ 3, 000 at auction.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 3: And he said..
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 6: I said, at first I said no. He said, well,
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 6: he did some work on that. Well, I didn't work
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 6: on that wagon. Can he take it? Like I say,
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 6: I'm half asleep. I said, okay, yeah, you can take it.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 6: And now as I think back, he took my wagon
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 6: and didn't pay me a nickel.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: But you told him he could take it.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 10: Did you give it to him?
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 6: Sort of.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 7: I was half asleep, though.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 25: Boy, Al, I think you sort of answered your own question, sir.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 7: There you go.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 25: I appreciate the honesty.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 10: I mean, just one question. Did you give it to him?
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: Sort of. Sort of, yeah. You're out of luck, pal.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: Sorry to see it. It sounds like he just woke
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: up on that call, too, to me. It's like, you know,
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: kind of sleepy on that call.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 25: Maybe he's a tired guy.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: He very well could be.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 10: He gets as much sleep as I do lately.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, because of the children.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it depends.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 25: Depends jimmy has been swamped over here with cases he's
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 25: he's not really sleeping we're all a little bit worried about.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: Him i thought i thought i thought i might have
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: saw frank's picture on the front page of the vindicator
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: today i meant to bring it in but i didn't
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: uh i didn't study enough i says hey that looks
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: like frank on there but uh fellow yeah he's an
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: extremely handsome man uh looks like a young frank sinatra.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 5: To me.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: That's a great compliment i mean you know that's what he's.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 10: Do you really want to put David in an early grave, Ron?
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 10: I mean, seriously.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: He does look like a young Frank Sinatra. And I
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: can't help but notice the striking resemblance of Jim Melfi
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: and Brad Pitt. But that's maybe just in my eyes.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 25: You're really juicing him up today.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 10: You're really now number one in my book.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 25: Yeah, you're really juicing up the male attorneys in our office.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 17: I know.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to love Melfi. All right, next call.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: You're on the air with our attorneys tonight. Hello there.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 6: Hello?
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, your question, please.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 17: My question is, I'd like to know who owns the
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 17: Slippery Rock Creek just over in Pennsylvania?
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: Who owns it? Why do you ask?
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 17: Well, because some guy thinks he owns it, and he's
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 17: harassing me when we take our little canoe down it.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 17: And there's a dam right there. And then, so yeah,
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 17: he's acting like he owns it, harassing us.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: Well, what's it called? The Slippery Rock Creek. Where's that at? Ohio, Pennsylvania?
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 17: Just outside of Newcastle.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 25: So that's not privately owned. I mean, that's public property.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 25: But if there is a certain section of it that
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 25: crosses over someone's private land, I don't know exactly where
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 25: it's at, but it's not privately owned. It's public property.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 14: All right.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 17: So that's encouraging.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: So the guy's hassling you?
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 14: Yeah. Yeah, we take our..
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 17: Canoes there and we get out and we hang out
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 17: by the waterfalls. There's a dam there also.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: And what's he doing?
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 25: But the land bordering it.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 17: Freeman is going to call the cops.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: Well, tell him to call them. Tell him to call them.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: Then you'll find out if you're on his land or not.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, what's the big deal? I mean,
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: as long as you're on public property.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 25: Because the land bordering it. The land bordering it could
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 25: be owned privately. So I just made a mark on that.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 17: Bordering it. So, yeah, isn't it? Is there a three
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 17: or four feet on each side or something like that?
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: You should probably find out.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: All right. Good luck. I mean, that's a tough question
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: to answer. I mean, you know, if the guy says,
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: I'm going to call the cops, say, well, why are
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: you going to call the cops? Listen to what he
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: has to say. Shouldn't you do that?
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 31: Yeah.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 10: I mean, unless this guy's coming out with a machete
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 10: or something.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 25: I was going to say axe. We all had different answers. Shotgun, machete, axe.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: But, I mean, it's some strange questions tonight.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 25: We're getting some weird ones.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is very odd.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 10: I like these people introducing themselves and where they're calling from.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 10: That's a nice touch.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 20: It is.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 25: And I'm honestly not mad about it. It's kind of
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 25: making my Thursday. I had a very long day.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Excuse me. It's Ron
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: from Boardman. And I'm sorry that you had a very
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: stressful day. Incidentally, Tali, you're handling a lot of the
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: domestic relations issues at the firm, correct?
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 25: I sure am. Mark now has, you know, provided me
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 25: the head of the department, and Mark is now my
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 25: second chair, and he's really helping me with Ohio law,
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 25: because I mainly practice in Pennsylvania, but he is teaching
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 25: me everything he knows and helping me along the way,
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 25: and I really appreciate it.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: Right. And is it tougher or more difficult in Ohio
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: or in Pennsylvania when it comes to divorce?
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 25: It depends on if you have kids and if you're
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 25: mom or your dad.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: And how long you were married, right? That makes a
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: big difference, does it not?
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 25: It does. Pennsylvania is definitely more friendly to dads as
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 25: of now, but that's changing in Ohio. But yeah, I'm
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 25: learning a lot.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: I think Mark once told me the big, now I'm going,
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: the big number on marriage is if you've been married
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: at least 10 years or 20 years. I think both
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: of those numbers have significance, 10 and 20. Is that accurate?
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 25: That is accurate.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 14: Yep.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 25: Sure do.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: 10 years for what? Social security and stuff like that? Pensions?
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 25: We consider it a long-term marriage after 10 years. And
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 25: then after 20 years, I mean, you're going to be
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 25: paying spouse support and basically until you retire or until
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 25: another agreed upon date. But Yeah, they both have significant differences,
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 25: but a lot of things, factors play into it.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's what makes it interesting. It's what I
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: say to me. Tally does the most interesting law at
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: the firm. Melfi's dealing with criminals and contractual stuff and
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: all of that kind of stuff. You don't get any
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: of the good gossip, Melfi.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 10: Yeah, not so much the criminal side, but yeah, I
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 10: spend a lot of time in my office racking my brain.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 25: He reads a lot. And I'm in court a lot, so.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: Right, and there you go. That's the difference. 330-729-9977. If
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: you've got a comment or question on this beautiful Thursday evening,
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: we are sitting with, what, 78 degrees? Give us a call.

• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: the program.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 11: 330-729-9977.
• 1:35:22

• 1:35:27

• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: 99.77. If you've got something that's bothering you, legally speaking,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: the time to call is now. From auto accidents to
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: dog bites to speeding tickets to estates.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 10: No more speeding tickets.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: What do you mean no more speeding tickets? People are
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: getting them every day.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 25: We get that question like every week.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 10: I can't. I can't with the speeding tickets.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: You can't take speeding tickets anymore?
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 10: You have your response.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: Sometimes people get legitimate speeding tickets actually from a cop, though.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: Not everything's a camera ticket anymore. Shouldn't be.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 10: You sure about that?
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: It seems it is on this program, I'll tell you
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: that much right now. What are you going to do? Hey,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: you know what? Everybody can do their own thing when
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: it comes to those camera tickets. But isn't the best
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: advice you could give is slow down? I mean, if
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: you get a ticket, maybe you should realize what the
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: speed limit is and actually adhere to the speed limit.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: Then you avoid the whole problem.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 10: Especially since I have had kids. I cannot stand speeding
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 10: in residential neighborhoods.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 25: It's a whole other level when you have kids outside playing. And, like,
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 25: you always laughed at those old people when you were
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 25: a teenager. And now that we are the old people,
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 25: I'm like, slow down. My kid's playing.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 10: Take it easy on the old people. We're not old
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 10: people yet.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 25: I feel old.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: In other words.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 10: So do I.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: Well, how do you know, though? You think they're going
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: 50 in a 25 or something like that when your
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: kids are playing?
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 10: I have a pretty good eye of anything over 25.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: I'm the person that says.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 10: Slow down.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, some people do need to slow down. Make
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: no mistake about it. Sometimes it gets away from you, though,
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: does it not? You know, sometimes you're not always staring.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: On the highway.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 25: Yeah, on the highway. And neighborhoods. Please, please don't speed.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 10: I have two really big pet peeves is speeding in
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 10: neighborhoods and parking in the middle of my driveway when.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 7: I try to come home.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: Well, who's parking in the middle of your driveway? My mother-in-law.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 25: I knew you were going to say that.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: Well, why don't you speak to her? Why don't you actually...
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 10: I said, Lisa, you can go left or you can
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 10: go to the right, but why are you in the middle?
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: And what does she say to you? Listen, sonny boy,
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: mind your own business.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 10: I think you'd get an FCC fine if I actually
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 10: said what.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 25: She says to me.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: In other words, she's got spunk and she's not going
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: to put up with your, she's going to tell you, listen,
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: you're the son-in-law, I'm the mother-in-law. What I say rules.
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: Is that how it goes?
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 25: And that means I like her.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: Me too. Me too.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 10: If we put her and David in the same room,
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 10: it would honestly be one of the greatest television shows ever.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 25: Okay, let's talk about mother-in-laws real quick. My mother-in-law, because
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 25: they listen to the show. They've only met Dave in
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 25: person like maybe once.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 25: Yeah, but they listen to the show and my in-laws
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 25: both love him. And the other day, my mother-in-law made
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 25: me cake. And she's like, I want you to take
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 25: this to work for you and Dave. And I looked
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 25: at her. And I was like, me and Dave. But
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 25: she was very, I ate the whole cake.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 7: Sorry, Dave.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 25: But it was pretty funny. My in-laws just love hearing
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 25: him talk on the show.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: You know what? It really bothers me to hear something
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: like that so they don't think anything about giving some
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: cake to Melfi. Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 25: I'll have to ask him.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, here, take this for you and Dave. What
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: about Jim Melfi? What about Frank Assise?
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 25: I kind of laughed because what about me and your son?
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 25: That's my husband's mom.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 10: You know what I mean?
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 25: But no, it was me and Dave. I was like, okay,
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 25: thank you for the cake. And I ate it all.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: All right. Let's try some more. Did they mention my
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: name with the cake at all? Probably not. All right.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: You're on the air.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 7: Hello.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 26: This is Miguel from Gerard.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: I have a serious question.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, go ahead, Miguel.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 7: So if somebody's.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 2: Doing business with a city, like services, provide services, is
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 2: that a conflict of interest that they run for office
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: in the city?
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: A private business doing business with the city, you're saying?
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 10: Doing private business?
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 32: Yeah.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: So they've got a private business, they're doing business or
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: have a contract or something with the city, and they
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: want to run for public office?
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: Is that a conflict?
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 10: It depends.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 28: It could be.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 25: That's going to be our standard answer.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 10: It depends. Is there a competitive bidding process?
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 25: Yeah, is there cash flow going to mutual?
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: No, no, it's just services under a certain amount.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: You know. Well, why would that be a conflict? I mean,
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: if a person's in private business working with the city, why–
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: Why constitutionally can't they run for a public office? Tally. James?
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 10: Constitutionally they could, but there are safeguards in place to
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 10: prevent abuse.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 25: I would just have to know the specific incidents you're
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 25: talking about, and then I could give you a more
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 25: yes or no answer. Okay.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: The person is selling a service to a department or
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: two in the city, say software.
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 25: And is that department the same department they're running for?
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: No, it does not go to bid. They would just
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: be selling it to them. So there would be no
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: bid process to vote on or anything like that.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: Except, I guess, you approve the budget. I don't know.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 10: Who is making the selection of the company to sell this?
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 17: Let's just say the..
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 2: The police and fire chief.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: All right. Okay. Get closer to the microphone, Melfi. You
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: don't sound as good as Tom.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 10: They own the company? No.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: You're not following along. That's what he just said. No,
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: he said the police and fire chief would make the decision.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: The person owning the company, yes.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 10: Ron, I'm following along. Okay.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 25: I was getting a nice via text.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 10: That doesn't look very good.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 31: Yeah.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 10: If you're asking me my opinion.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 7: Okay. Okay.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 2: That's why I'm checking before it happens.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: So you're saying that it would be difficult for that
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: person to run? There would be a conflict of interest,
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: James or Tally?
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 10: I would say that is quite a conflict, and there
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 10: are procedures in place to avoid conflicts of interest. And
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 10: if they're followed okay, and if they're not, then it's
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 10: a problem. There's conflicts in every profession, legal profession. We
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 10: deal with.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 25: But there's got to be guidelines somewhere or someone you
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 25: can contact in that department to ask specifics.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 10: Just like in our world, there's things and procedures in
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 10: place to assess a conflict, and if there is a
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 10: conflict or a perceived conflict..
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 25: We call the ethics board if we can't figure it out, but..
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 14: You know?
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 10: Same thing..
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 2: Ah, maybe that's who I should be asking then, right?
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 2: I just pose the question to the ethics board, tell
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: me if that situation... There's a lot of times where people..
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 10: In these positions seek ethics opinions.
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: All right, Michael. Thank you. Thursday legal show brought to

• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: certain extent. You know what? It means nobody's getting any
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: problems as far as the law is concerned. But maybe
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: that's wishful thinking on my part.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 7: Perhaps.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: Perhaps. In other words, shut up, Ron, and take some calls, right? Okay,
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: I got it, Melfi. All right, you're on the air.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 10: Ron said I wasn't falling earlier, Talia.
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 1: You're on the air. Hello there.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 10: Right on spot.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 15: Well, Ron, you're the worst follower in the world, so
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 15: that ain't nothing new.
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 15: But I have a question. It's a simple question, but
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 15: I don't really know what the answer to it is, right? Now, granted, now,
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 15: down in Columbus at Ohio State, the pedestrian at every
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 15: turn has the right of way, no matter what. But
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 15: I know on a highway, you know, or like a
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 15: freeway or something like that, somebody can't run out in
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 15: front of you and you can't put a bicycle on it.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 15: And I know there's different cases inside of city limits
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 15: about when a pedestrian has a right-of-way. My question to
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 15: you is, does the pedestrian always have the right-of-way in
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 15: the state of Ohio?
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 10: Oh, this is a great question.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: That is a great question.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 10: This is a great question because the answer is no. No,
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 10: but like any law, there are exceptions, and I actually
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 10: just used this in a case prior, maybe like three,
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 10: four months ago. So when I tell people this is
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 10: usually marked crosswalk, good start. You don't always have the right-of-way.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 10: If you're not in a crosswalk and there's no walk
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 10: sign or traffic stop, you don't have the right-of-way. However,
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 10: just because you do not have the right-of-way does not
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 10: grant the person driving the car a free hit. A
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 10: free hit? A free hit, that's what I said. If
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 10: you are a pedestrian in the roadway, and this always
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 10: comes down to visibility, distance, speed, you have to use
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 10: reasonable care to avoid making contact with the pedestrian. Now,
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 10: with all those factors aside, if somebody is speeding... they
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 10: lose their right of way. So say if you're going
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 10: in my neighborhood, 50 and a 25, you lose your
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 10: right of way even if the pedestrian is jaywalking. But
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 10: I know exactly what you're talking about because everywhere in Columbus,
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 10: especially on campus, there's the bike lane. If you go
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 10: down Summit, 4th, you really have to be careful in Columbus.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 10: And personally, I'd be petrified. to be riding a bike
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 10: on those streets.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 7: Giving people tax and nobody's paying attention.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 15: You may ask me that question.
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 31: The urgent weather message. The National Weather Service in Cleveland
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 31: has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for southwestern Mahoning County
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 31: in northeastern Ohio, eastern Stark County in northeastern Ohio, until
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 31: 6.15 p.m.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 10: EDT. At 5.35 p.m.
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 31: EDT, a severe thunderstorm was located over Canton, moving east
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 31: at 25 mph. Hazard, 60 mph when gusts and quarter-size hail.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 5: Source, radar indicated.
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 31: Impact minor damage to vehicles is possible. Expect damage to
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 31: trees and power lines. Locations impacted include Canton, Alliance, North Canton, Louisville, Sebring, Minerva,
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 31: East Canton, Deloitte, Myers Lake, Maple Ridge, Robertsville, and Maximo.
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 31: Remain alert for a possible tornado. Tornadoes can develop quickly
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 31: from severe thunderstorms. If you spot a tornado, go at
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 31: once into the basement or small central room in a
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 31: sturdy structure. For your protection, move to an interior room
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 31: on the lowest.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 5: Floor of a building.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 31: Repeating, a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued until 6.15 p.m.
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 31: Eastern Daylight Time for the following counties in Ohio, Mahoning,
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 31: and Stark.
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: I think we got it. All right. A little weather
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: warning there. So you were answering his question about the
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: pedestrian having a right-of-way, James.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 10: Sir, did that answer your question? Because I have a
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 10: separate piece of advice for vehicles on campus.
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 15: No, that didn't answer my question. question because we had
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 15: the weather alert. My question again is, right, so it's
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 15: not all the time that a person, a pedestrian, has
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 15: their right-of-way.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 10: That's correct. That answers the question.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 25: They do not always.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 10: That is correct.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 25: But if the car is speeding.
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 10: So there's a couple exceptions to that.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: One, speed. If the car is speeding.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 25: Distracted, driving.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 10: Yeah, things like that. So, for example, if I'm jaywalking
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 10: and a car is, say, 20, 50, 100 yards and
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 10: they can see me, they have to use reasonable care
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 10: not to plow me over as a pedestrian.
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 7: Correct.
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 10: Okay, but pedestrians do not always have the right of way.
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 15: You were mentioning something about Columbus?
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 10: Yeah, so if you're sending a kid to Ohio State,
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 10: don't send them in with a new car, I can
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 10: tell you that one. Especially if you like your side
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 10: view mirrors not kicked off or dent scratches, break-ins. All right,
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 10: so that's some free non-legal advice, but perhaps it is
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 10: legal advice.
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 15: But once again, thank you guys, and I just saved
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 15: myself some money.
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 7: All good.
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 15: All right.
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 25: Thanks for calling in.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. You're on the air with our attorneys tonight.
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: Hello there.
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, hello there. I have a question about deeds and trusts.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 4: I have a piece of property that's about nine acres.
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 4: I own the property free and clear. I don't have
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 4: any heirs. And my wife wants to know if there's
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 4: any way when we die if we can make it
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 4: so that no one can ever own that property. We
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 4: don't want the neighbors to buy it. We don't want
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 4: any of our even distant unknown relatives, nobody to ever
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 4: own it. Can we put it in a trust in perpetuity?
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 10: Who's going to pay the property tax on that?
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 4: Who's going to pay the property tax?
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 4: After we pass. We'd have to set up a trust, right,
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 4: to service the property tax.
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 10: Now you're kind of piquing my curiosity. Why don't you
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 10: want anyone to own this?
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 4: Well, because we don't have any heirs, and we despise
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 4: our neighbors who have been abusive, and we don't want
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 4: them to ever own it. So we want to go
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 4: out at least a couple of generations where they can't
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 4: buy it.
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 25: I mean, what if someone else buys it from the public?
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 14: Exactly.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: He said it's that petty. I've got to ask you something.
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 1: Do you really care that much when you're dead? It's
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: not me.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 4: I see your point. I want an answer for my wife.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 4: She wants to know, is it possible?
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 10: I mean, I would go talk to a estate and
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 10: trust lawyer. It sounds totally plausible, especially if there's enough
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 10: money in.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 25: This trust to pay the property taxes.
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 10: For so many years. But I respect... Not wanting the
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 10: neighbors to buy it.
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 25: But you would definitely want to go to an estate
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 25: attorney because you'd want that to be ironclad and make
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 25: sure that it's spelled out to you.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 10: You don't have any friends that wouldn't sell it?
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 4: That's the answer I wanted, that it's possible. Thank you
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 4: so much. And I'll engage a trust attorney. Thank you
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 4: so much.
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 1: Very good. Good luck. I tell you, this much I
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: wouldn't want to get on his wife's bad side because
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: look at what she's doing there. It makes me a
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: little nervous.
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 25: You don't want to get on anybody's wife's bad side.
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 1: You're right about that. You're on the air with our
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: attorneys tonight. Hello there.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that's no lie.
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 18: Listen, I've been listening to this show for a long time.
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 18: That right there was the greatest call you've ever gotten.
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 10: Maybe you'll be the greatest call we ever got. I
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 10: got a.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 18: Real simple question. Listen, I'm not hitting people with my car,
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 18: and I'm not petty about land that I don't need
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 18: after I'm dead, but I do have a question about
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 18: how to recoup losses. I had an insurance claim at
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 18: my house. We had some water damage from a dishwasher, actually,
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 18: that leaked. We had an insurance claim because the subfloor.
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 7: Was ruined, cabinetry was ruined.
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 18: Claimed it on our homeowner's insurance. We were given a
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 18: check for $ 14, 000. My wife worked out a deal with
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 18: a contractor, a well-known contractor, actually, and they had given
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 18: us some estimates for work. We had given them the
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 18: check from the insurance company, which I think was a mistake.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 18: That was three years ago.
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: Big mistake. They have not done any of the work, and.
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 18: They have not refunded the money, despite repeated requests, too.
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 18: What's our recourse there?
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 10: Uh, that's not good. I would, uh, file, consult a
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 10: lawyer and potentially, uh, file a lawsuit.
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: It was three years ago. I mean, is there a
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: statute of limitations?
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 10: Four years on, typically it's four years on claims like that.
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: So you better..
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 18: They may just be trying to run out the clock.
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 10: So, you don't have a kitchen?
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: No, I do.
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 18: I mean, it's The damage wasn't significant to the point
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 18: where it's not usable, but we needed to replace cabinets,
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 18: which were worthless. And it's like we live in squalor.
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 2: We've got to fix it. I'm tired of it.
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 18: But, you know, we got the money to replace stuff,
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 18: and then we were going to put our own money
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 18: into it. And they have stopped communicating with us. They
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 18: don't respond to e-mails, letters, phone calls, nothing. And again,
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 18: well-respected company that's still doing.
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 1: A lot of business. But they have your money. Is
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: that accurate? I mean, they took the check and the money?
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 10: I would contact somebody to explore your rights.
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: He needs a lawyer, doesn't he?
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 10: Like I said, I would contact somebody to explore what
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 10: your remedies are.
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: For $ 14, 000, yeah. Yeah.
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 33: And then once I get my money back, when I die,
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 33: I'm going to sue them every year in perpetuity.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 14: Sorry.
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 10: I mean, so you're turning this into the Hatfields and
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 10: McCoys is what you're telling me.
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 1: Thank you for your call. Appreciate it.
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 1: Listen, I must admit, I don't understand the hatred that
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: guy has. I mean, he seems like a perfectly normal guy.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: He's saying, I'm calling on behalf of my wife. My
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: wife hates the neighbors so much that she wants to
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: make sure they never can buy this land. And when
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 1: they're dead, their heirs can't buy the land.
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 10: Having bad neighbors is horrible.
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 25: It is horrible.
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: But that's a woman you don't want to get on
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: her bad side because take a look at her. She's
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 1: not interested in just when she's alive. She doesn't care when...
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: When the people she dislikes are alive, she means future generations.
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: She doesn't even want to have the land.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 10: She means business. I mean, I thought it was bad.
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 10: Maybe my wife brings up something from college from 15
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 10: years ago, but it's still a whole new level.
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 25: Our memories last forever. Us, me, women, general.
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 1: You're vicious people. You're absolutely vicious. All right. It's a
• 1:55:32

  Speaker 1: Cadillac all under one roof, all at one dealership, Stadium
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 1: GM in the heart of Salem. It's not part of

• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: I share it with you, the good folks at Stadium GM.
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: Back to our phone lines we go here. It's The
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 1: Legal Show brought to you by Beatrice Kopp. You're on
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 1: the air. Hello there.
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 20: Yeah, back to these speed cameras again. I'm starting to
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 20: see these cameras pop up. One was up on Market Street.
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 20: A couple different cameras were around Camel Memorial High School.
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 7: No one's there.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 20: A little sign lights up, you know, flickers with your
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 20: speed or whatever like that. And then the camera. Are
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 20: these things legal again or what's our philosophy on these?
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 20: Usually seem to be around schools. although the one is
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 20: around the developmental center on Market Street.
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: Have you ever gotten a ticket?
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: One or more than one?
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 7: Oh, no, just one.
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 16: Just the other day.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 20: I mean, you know, you go up Market Street, you're 35,
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 20: and all of a sudden..
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, really?
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 1: They kind of get you in that. You sound like
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 1: a chronic speeder to me. That's why I'd ask the question.
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 1: No offense.
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 17: Okay.
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 1: But you've only got one. So your question is, are
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 1: the cameras legal?
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 1: Comment, James.
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 1: They have the right to put them there, obviously, correct?
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 10: Correct.
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 5: I concur.
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 7: I concur.
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 10: Ron, take us through the rest of the questions, please.
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do that. Sir, do you own your car,
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 1: or do you lease it?
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 32: Own.
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: Okay. So when you get those tickets, you can decide
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 1: whether or not you want to pay it. If you
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 1: don't pay it, really nothing happens. I mean, it's not
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: like when a cop writes you a ticket. So if
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 1: you get that ticket, you can say, I'm not going
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: to pay it, and they're going to call you up,
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 1: or they're going to take you to collections, and nothing
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 1: really happens. Well, but.
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 20: But a lot of those would go to a separate company.
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 34: This one is Youngstown, and then it's supposedly signed by
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 34: a Youngstown patrolman or whatever who signs off on these things.
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 34: It's not going to, like, a third party.
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: Interesting. So maybe you better pay it then. What do
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: you think?
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 25: All right.
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 26: Most likely.
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you... If you don't want to lose
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: sleep at night, then maybe you should pay it and say, okay,
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 1: I learned my lesson. How much they want from you?
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 20: A hundred and a quarter.
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, man, they're clipping a lot of money these days,
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 1: aren't they?
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 14: Revenue sharing, we call that.
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: Stealing is what I call it.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 10: That's three packs of diapers for me.
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for your call. I appreciate it. Yeah, revenue sharing.
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 1: Like I say, if you get one and you don't
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: want to worry about this idea of going to collections
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: and that kind of stuff, it's an easy answer. Then
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: just pay it and forget about it, right?
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, that option is there for you. But I
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: would hope when you guys learn your lesson and you say, okay.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, the goal really is to get you to
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 1: slow down and not speed in those areas.
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 10: Especially in a school zone.
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 32: Right.
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 1: There's nothing really terribly wrong with the intent. I know
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 1: everybody thinks it's there to raise money, and I get that.
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 1: If you're familiar that they're there, you end up slowing down.
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 1: When you learn speed traps, what do you do? You
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 1: slow down. People know that when they drive into Poland here,
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 1: they better go slow or they're going to get pulled over.
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 1: They just have that reputation. Now, by now, you know
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 1: where all these speed cameras are. You know where they
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 1: are in Girard and in Liberty and that kind of stuff.
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 1: So try not to get a ticket. Try to look
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 1: at your speed. Then the cameras, they can't get you
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 1: for money, and the cameras have done their business.
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 10: Route 11.
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Exactly. But I mean, I understand communities make money
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 1: and that might be the ramifications that they're looking for.
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 1: But the reality is people just want you to slow
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 1: down a little bit. And you said it yourself, Jim,
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 1: you become an old fogey in your own neighborhood with
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 1: Tally to slow down.
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 10: You're driving too fast down in my neighborhood.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 25: Same.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 25: My neighborhood's actually pretty good about it.
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: But it's much more just so people know it's different
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 1: if there's an actual cop there that pulls you over
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 1: and writes you a ticket. That's way different. than some
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: of these camera tickets. Different analysis.
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 1: I wasn't familiar with the particular one that he had
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 1: in sight. But it seems like it bothers him. Pay
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 1: the $ 125 and move on with your life. 330-729-9977. 330-729-9977.
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 1: We'll get you through to our attorneys tonight. They are
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 1: here until 6 o'clock taking your legal questions. Attorney Beatrice
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 1: is off tonight. He's probably... Did he get his boat fixed, guys?
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 10: He's somewhere floating.
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 7: Oh, he is?
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 10: He won't call in tonight, though.
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: You know he's on the water?
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 10: No, I know he just won't call in tonight.
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: Why, did you ban him?
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 25: It's a weird thing to, like, positively know.
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 10: I just know because he can't call in tonight.
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 1: What is he, like, tied to his desk chair and
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: gagged by you or something like that? What did you
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 1: do to him, Jimmy?
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 10: I said I pretzeled him earlier. His brain is in
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 10: a scramble. It's a scrambled egg right now. So he
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 10: won't call in.
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 1: I'm worried about it. He won't start. I'm worried about it.
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 1: Where is Dave? And where is his safety? Melfi has
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 1: me worried about it.
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 25: He better have his life alert on.
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. All right, let's see.
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 10: He just texted me. Uh-oh, uh-oh.
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 1: You're on the air.
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 18: Hey, Ron.
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 5: That guy that called earlier?
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 35: About the property with the vindictive wife?
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 35: Yeah, wouldn't you also have to have something..
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 7: And I got this from a legal.
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 35: Show maybe months ago talking about people that did not
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 35: maintain property and somebody else did, and they can take ownership.
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 35: So wouldn't you have to have something like that as
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 35: well for the attorney?
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 10: So you're asking about adverse possession is what you're asking.
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 10: So in the trust, what I would say is you
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 10: would have to appoint somebody to periodically inspect the property.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 10: Maybe put up some signs, maybe put up a fence,
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 10: because Ron may pitch a tent right on that property
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 10: for 21 years in an open and obvious fashion, and
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 10: then he could sue for adverse possession that the property
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 10: is now mine.
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 7: Ron, you'd be 88.
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 35: You could take that property when you're 88.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 1: Let's see, 20 years, I'd be 89.
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 23: That's a good retirement program.
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 1: More than likely, Michael, I'd be buried on that property.
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: That would be my permanent residence. All right. That's how
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 1: it goes.
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 5: Have a good one.
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 10: Good question.
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 1: That's a good question. You're on the air. Welcome. News
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 1: Radio 570. Hello. Are you there? Going once? It'll work
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 1: better if I do this. You're on the air.
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 11: I have a suggestion for the lady that has the
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 11: land that she doesn't want her neighbors to be able
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 11: to purchase when she passes on.
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 20: Let's hear it.
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 11: And they could put a park in there. And that
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 11: way the property would be maintained, the taxes would be paid,
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 11: she wouldn't need to worry about anything.
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 10: Well, the neighbors could.
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 1: Use it then.
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 25: And if she donates it, I mean, they don't have
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 25: to for sure use that as a park.
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 10: That defeats her purpose of not wanting her name.
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 1: Now, hold the fort. I'm listening to this woman thinking
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 1: that's a great suggestion. Donate it to the township for
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 1: a specific purpose. Can't you define the purpose or something
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 1: like that when you give... If they accept it?
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 10: Not on a public property.
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 25: Yeah, no.
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 10: What's the township going to say? The McCoys can't come
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 10: on this property?
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 25: And we'll accept this property, but then we're going to
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 25: pay for all the equipment that goes on it and
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 25: all the things.
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 1: All right. I thought you had a great suggestion, but
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 1: these attorneys, you know, they shoot you down.
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 10: I think just give it to Ron.
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 25: Ron can take care of it for you.
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 1: I'll sit there with my musket and making sure that
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 1: those people never..
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 10: What did I say about David? The fistful of dollars
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 10: like Clint Eastwood, Ron.
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. You've got to sit there and make sure it
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen. What is interesting to me is people find
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 1: that call so intriguing, that somebody is so angry... That
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 1: even when they're dead, they want to make sure that
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 1: the neighbors don't get their property or their ancestors get
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 1: the property. That is a vindictive person.
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 25: Or maybe she just has been done really wrong. We
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 25: don't know her story.
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 1: Boy, you women always stick together now, don't you? All right.
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 1: It is what it is. All right. Any final parting
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 1: words from you two from tonight's edition of The Legal Show?
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 1: It was interesting just having you two with me tonight.
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 10: Why do you say that? Just out of my own curiosity.
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 1: Because I'm very relaxed. It's very relaxing. It's very tranquil.
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 1: It's very calming to me.
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 10: It's not chaotic?
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 1: It's not chaotic. He's not blaming you over his lawsuit.
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 25: You mean Dave's not on?
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 10: We love Dave. So what you happen to be saying is..
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 1: It was normal.
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 10: Dave, it's not normal.
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 1: No, I'm saying the program was very normal tonight. Very normal.
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 1: And I kind of enjoyed some of the wacky callers
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 1: that we got tonight. But you should expect that when,
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 1: what are we, 76 degrees? We've had some beautiful weather,
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 1: but we're going to have some thunderstorms in my neck
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 1: of the woods. So anyway, it is what it is.
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 1: Thank you both immensely. I appreciate you being with us tonight.
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 10: Ron, thanks for having us.
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 25: Thanks, Ron. And thanks to all of our callers.
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 1: All right. There they are. It's The Legal Show. Thank you.

• 2:08:17
  Speaker 21: From ABC News, I'm Chuck Severson. The Venezuelan earthquakes leave
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 21: at least 188 people dead, nearly 1,000 others injured as
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 21: search and rescue operations continue. Armando Nori lives in a
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 21: heart at Caracas. His family fled their apartment.
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 28: Two hours later, I came back, you know, to grab
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 28: some things like clothes and water, and I saw the
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 28: whole thing was destroyed.
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 21: An official with the International Rescue Committee, Karen Donnelly.
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 30: We have a team in Venezuela.
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 36: We've been working there for over 40 years.
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 30: Our Venezuelan colleagues, after having spent last night sleeping in
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 30: the open for fear of further aftershocks, they've regrouped this
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 30: morning and are already beginning assessment efforts, working with local
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 30: Venezuelan civil society organizations. to understand where the greatest needs
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 30: are and how we can best support them in that effort.
• 2:09:08

• 2:09:14
  Speaker 21: executive order that would mandate how states would run their
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 21: mail-in voting operations. Supreme Court conservative majorities today rule that
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 21: the government can keep asylum seekers from entering the U.S.
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 21: and can cancel the temporary protected status of granted to
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 21: Haitians and Syrians.
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 37: This was a decision over a policy from the first
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 37: Trump administration to shut the door at ports of entry
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 37: across the southern border to prevent migrants from even stepping

  Speaker 11: Soil.
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 23: ABC's Devin Dwyer.

  Speaker 21: It makes no sense, says Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey, a Democrat.
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 29: The Supreme Court and Donald Trump are attacking legal immigrants
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 29: who've done everything right to be a part of this country.
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 1: For more than a decade.
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 21: Similar argument being made by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, a Republican,
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 21: saying Haitians in Ohio have been working and contributing to
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 21: communities and the economy for decades, and deporting them would
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 21: be a mistake, he says, also citing how dangerous Haiti is.
• 2:10:10

  Speaker 7: very much.

  Speaker 1: And let's uh let's talk a little bit we're going
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 1: to get into john's hedge fund which uh is uh
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 1: Really a unique opportunity. We'll get into all of that
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 1: coming up momentarily. Don't you have your little bit of
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 1: a disclaimer you want to say in the beginning here?
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 1: I always forget about that.
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I actually, we got to get that done with
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 7: Keith or something to get it right in the beginning.
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 7: But yeah, the Money Talks program is for informational and
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 7: educational purposes only. All investing carries a potential loss or
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 7: risk of principal. And Ron Verb is a paid spokesperson
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 7: for My Heart Radio.
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 7: And consulting tax advisor, investment professional for making any investment decisions.
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 1: There you go. Well stated. All right. So here we go.
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 1: And here we are. Let's start where I always like
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 1: to start. We're going to get to the hedge fund
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 1: coming up, folks. But let's start with where the market
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 1: is today and what's going on since we talked last
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 1: week as far as the market, the economy, your thoughts
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 1: about that situation.
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 7: Well, the market, let me put it this way, the
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 7: market's a nightmare for anybody, especially a hedge fund trader
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 7: like me. It's a nightmare right now. Let me tell you,
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 7: look at the NASDAQ. We got a chart on the
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 7: NASDAQ today. There was no shorting. It wasn't going long.
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 7: It did a 200 to 300 point move four times
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 7: within the day-to-day. So if you open up your chart
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 7: right now on NASDAQ, you'll see it go from like
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 7: 25.5 all the way down to 25.2, up to 25.5,
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 7: down to 25.2. Listen, I'm rounding numbers up and down.
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 7: But just to give a listener kind of like the
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 7: pain of a pitcher in their head, if you can
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 7: imagine something going up 200 or 300 points four times
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 7: on a trading day, it is madness. You know, Apple
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 7: came out today, which is when Ricky Holdings said, you know,
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 7: we're going to increase the prices. of our retail phones,
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 7: and the market did not like that. Micron came out
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 7: with ridiculous earnings, and that's one of our holdings as well.
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 7: That went up like 200 points in overnight trading and
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 7: held the line. So the semiconductor market is hitting record numbers.
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 7: And one of the drawbacks to that is there's a
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 7: tug of war going on. If they're doing good, then
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 7: that means other sectors are doing bad. Because semiconductors and
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 7: AI are slowly replacing jobs. So the market is not
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 7: fully in love with the AI and the semiconductor performance
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 7: because the better it gets, some people look at it
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 7: as the worst for the long-term in humanity.
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 1: There's a couple of things that you said there that...
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 1: I want to follow up on. First of all, am
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 1: I the only guy that thinks an iPhone is fairly
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 1: expensive now? And they decide they're going to raise the price?
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody loves their phone and everybody loves Apple.
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know that you can price them so high
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 1: that people still don't want an Apple iPhone or need
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 1: to replace their phone at some point. But you can
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 1: delay it longer. I mean, is there a price breaking
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 1: point on this kind of stuff for the average consumer?
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 3: You want to know the truth?
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 7: Yes. I don't think so, and here's the reason why.
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 7: We live, Jennifer and I live, as everybody knows, Jupiter,
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 7: and right down the road in Palm Beach Gardens, one
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 7: of the nicest malls in the entire world. And in
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 7: there is one of the most successful Apple stores in
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 7: the entire world. There is a day waiting list to
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 7: get an appointment. And then once you get the appointment,
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 7: there's another couple of days to get into the appointment itself.
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 7: When I actually get to go in there, madhouse. We
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 7: bought this thing called an Apple Vision. It's like, I
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 7: don't know, it's the world that basically you put goggles
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 7: on and it looks like you're 3D or 4D. It
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 7: looks like you're actually in a concert. If you put
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 7: in Metallica and or Sandman, it looks like you're literally
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 7: right beside the singer. It's unreal. You can put the
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 7: things on and easily, and I've done it, easily get
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 7: two or three hours Intuit, you don't even realize any
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 7: time you're going by. You really think you're at the
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 7: actual event, standing watching a movie. And those sell between
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 7: $ 4, 500 to $ 5, 000. The iPhones, the iPads, as you've seen,
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 7: they're already expensive. But when I tell you they have
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 7: a line out the door, I mean literally a line
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 7: out the door. So I don't know, Ron, if there
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 7: is a breaking price point. I think that, honestly, I
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 7: think that those bozos could charge $ 2, 000 on an iPhone
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 7: and get it. That's what I think. But they blame
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 7: the retail price increase on, you know, the semiconductor market
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 7: being supply and demand being the demand is outweighing the supply.
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 7: You know, Apple's got more money than a lot of countries.
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 7: So when I hear about, like, Apple raising the prices
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 7: to do this or that, I think it's ridiculous.
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 7: I think it's the most profitable companies ever to exist.
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 1: And I would agree with you to what you said because...
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 1: There is a love people have for their iPhone, and
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 1: I do mean a love. And if they say, okay,
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 1: I'll keep it another year or whatever, but when it's
• 2:15:50
  Speaker 1: time to replace it, they will definitely save or do
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 1: whatever they have to do to be able to get
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 1: the next model if they price it $ 500 more than
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 1: the last one. It's one of those strange products that
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. The price point, I mean, you
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 1: could make it $ 10, 000. That's a different story. But modestly
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 1: large increases are not going to stop somebody from saying, well,
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get this iPhone and I'll keep it
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 1: for five years or 10 years or whatever the case is.
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 7: Apple does something extremely ruthless that they've omitted the doing
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 7: and got fined on their ass for doing so. Do
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 7: you know what they do?
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 1: No.
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 7: They purposely bog down your operating system on an older
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 7: phone to where it has glitches and bugs and they
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 7: don't fix them, and it forces you to buy a
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 7: new iPhone. I had an iPhone 15. I just traded
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 7: it in for— not traded in, but I bought a new i17—
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 7: I just did this three days ago. And there's really
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 7: not much difference. And there's like a couple of different
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 7: widgets and gadgets that are better, I guess. But me,
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 7: I got to tell you, and I know because we're
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 7: in the same kind of age bracket, I don't want
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 7: the damn thing to cook me breakfast and chow my soup.
• 2:17:00
  Speaker 7: You know what I want? I want to answer my phone.
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 7: I want the battery to last more than four to
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 7: five hours because I get phone calls all day. And
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 7: I want to check my text messages. And, you know,
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 7: that's all I wanted to do. The damn thing, they're
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 7: cooking me flapjacks now. And it makes it too complicated. But, yeah,
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 7: that's what the new generation loves that, right? They love
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 7: the bells and whistles and gadgets. And here's the other
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 7: thing that people don't know. Well, some people do and
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 7: most people don't, is they purposely change it up to
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 7: where it's It's just a couple extra gadgets here and there,
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 7: but it's basically the same exact phone. So that's why
• 2:17:43
  Speaker 7: when they buy your phone back or whatever, you get
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 7: a pretty nice trade-in value because they're just releasing a
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 7: couple chips here and there and mechanisms and they're reselling
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 7: you back a phone that's either refurbished or new for
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 7: a bigger price. And that's just the way it is.
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 7: And that's that. I just wish that they would just
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 7: come out with a phone that works, the battery stayed
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 7: on for more than eight hours and And it did
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 7: my job. It got you under a trap.
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 1: It sounds to me like you need a flip phone again, John.
• 2:18:14
  Speaker 1: No offense.
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 7: Now, listen, I'm getting email mode. I still read the
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 7: Wall Street Journal paper instead of digitally. I am like
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 7: that for a fault. I'll tell you one more thing
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 7: about Apple. They have algorithms. that they know human psychology
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 7: to a cent of what they're willing to spend on
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 7: an upgrade. So this iPhone price increase wasn't overnight. It
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 7: came through an actual algorithm that said, this is how
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 7: much we can charge additional to the existing iPhone without
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 7: breaking our price point with economies of scale, which means
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 7: that they know from robotics slash AI what the average
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 7: American is willing to spend on a new iPhone.
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 1: And as I look at the headlines as I talk
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 1: to you tonight, John Arnold's here, Money Talks, News Radio 570.
• 2:19:05
  Speaker 1: Apple posts worst day in over a year after MacBook
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 1: and iPad price hikes. But you're saying, listen, they researched this.
• 2:19:13
  Speaker 1: They can raise the price. People are going to buy
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 1: it anyway. They're going to get it. But yet the
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 1: market says we're going to discount the stock or we're
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 1: going to lower the stock a little bit as a
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 1: result of this.
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:19:28
  Speaker 1: Was it fair of them to do that, or do
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 1: you think there's always that bounce back as time goes on?
• 2:19:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the dead cat bounce. I mean, just look at
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 7: a 20-year chart on Apple. They got it figured out.
• 2:19:40
  Speaker 7: Of course, there's an initial reaction to that. But I'd
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 7: be willing to bet all the tea in China that
• 2:19:48
  Speaker 7: in three months from now, you're going to see Apple
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 7: back where it was before or higher. Again, I have
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 7: to disclose that that's a guess, but that's my opinion.
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 7: I think my opinion is today is really an anomaly
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 7: and probably a value buy for a lot of folks
• 2:20:02
  Speaker 7: and saying, man, was it $ 300? If I can get
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 7: Apple at $ 275, let me jump on that bandwagon. So
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 7: I just think that it's a niche reaction and It'd
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 7: be a big money running it down to get it low.
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 1: Now talk a little bit about, you were talking about Micron,
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 1: that it went up 15%. And Micron, for people that
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 1: are listening, they're what, a chip maker? What is Micron?
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 1: What do they make?
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 7: Infrastructure chip makers. So they build the infrastructure for the
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 7: chip makers. And the demand is out of this world.
• 2:20:33
  Speaker 7: It's crazy. So I bought that stock in my own
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 7: portfolio at $ 338. Keep in mind, this was before the
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 7: hedge fund opened up. And it went to the mid-900s
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 7: for me, and I sold. And I've been trading it
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 7: ever since off $ 1, 100 to $ 1, 000 and letting it bounce back.
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 7: And today, it opened up too high. I couldn't get
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 7: in on that. But it's a stock that's gone up from,
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 7: call it, $ 400 to $ 1, 200 from March to June. So
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 7: think about that.
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's... That much demand going on in this
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 1: AI sector, correct, and all the building that's going on?
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 7: Yes, there is. You look at an ETF like SOSX,
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 7: which is an ETF that holds all the semiconductor stuff,
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 7: not all of them, the majority of them, and that's
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 7: a telltale sign. Look at it. It's basically a slant up. Now, listen,
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 7: I think you're getting to an overbought scenario. I think
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 7: that you're going to see a pullback on the semiconductor
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 7: just on big money driving it down the value buy.
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 7: But right now, that son of a gun for the
• 2:21:40
  Speaker 7: past half year is climbing like a roller coaster going
• 2:21:43
  Speaker 7: uphill like the old jackrabbit. So it's just the way
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 7: of the new world. And, hey, if you're lucky enough
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 7: to get in that and know how to trade it
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 7: like we do, I think there's potentially a lot of
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 7: money to be made.
• 2:21:57
  Speaker 1: Tahoe John Earl, Money Talks, NewsRadio 570. So give me
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 1: some input on the economy in general. I mean, who
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 1: knows where this whole situation is as far as the
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 1: Iran situation goes. You always have news on stuff like
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 1: that today as well. But, I mean, do you have–
• 2:22:16
  Speaker 1: what's your gut feeling about where our economy is going
• 2:22:19
  Speaker 1: and heading and oil prices? Give me your insights.
• 2:22:25
  Speaker 7: Well, I think Trump is right in the face of
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 7: these oil companies. They use an excuse, the Iran war
• 2:22:34
  Speaker 7: started at the end of March, beginning of April. And
• 2:22:37
  Speaker 7: sure enough, two weeks later, oil, based on futures and
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 7: based on just, I don't know what the reason is,
• 2:22:44
  Speaker 7: went to $ 4 and above, right? So now oil's back
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 7: down to the $ 75, $ 77 area. And it was just
• 2:22:51
  Speaker 7: two months ago or a month ago, above $ 1. 10. there's
• 2:22:57
  Speaker 7: no decrease in the gas prices. And so everybody's kind
• 2:23:01
  Speaker 7: of wondering, including Trump, how do you justify that, Mr.
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 5: And Mrs.
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 13: Oil?
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 7: So I think it's a bunch of BS, you know that?
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 7: I was just talking about this today on my podcast,
• 2:23:14
  Speaker 7: my case today. I think the economy's in trouble, I do.
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 7: I think that when you see the wealthy start to
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 7: pull back their spending, I think that's a telltale sign.
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 7: You have economists flashing big red lights about inflation. This
• 2:23:30
  Speaker 7: thing's getting hard. It's getting hard on even upper-class, middle-class families.
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 7: And that's that. So you're going to have people taking
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 7: less vacations or shorter vacations. Here's what some of the
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 7: upper-class wealthy people are doing. They're getting, actually, they're drinking
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 7: at their home or at a dive bar. And then
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 7: they're going to a nice restaurant. They're not ordering the appetizer.
• 2:23:55
  Speaker 7: They're ordering something average and getting a night out. And
• 2:23:59
  Speaker 7: they used to order drinks at the restaurant. They used
• 2:24:01
  Speaker 7: to order an appetizer, a nice steak on the menu,
• 2:24:04
  Speaker 7: and then they would get a dessert and go home.
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 7: That's not happening anymore. When the wealthy start to do that,
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 7: now you're starting to see the cracks in the ice.
• 2:24:13
  Speaker 7: And that's what... That's what scares me. And I hope
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 7: that they get a hold of this inflation because when
• 2:24:19
  Speaker 7: people tell me like, oh, things are charging high and
• 2:24:22
  Speaker 7: everybody's good. And by the way, the person in the pudding,
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 7: go out to eat and go out to something that
• 2:24:29
  Speaker 7: requires a lot of money to spend. They're still filling
• 2:24:33
  Speaker 7: the seats. So I'm going to tell you something that's
• 2:24:37
  Speaker 7: scary to tell you. And it's an opinion. I think
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 7: we're headed for a depression. I do. Between AEI Private
• 2:24:44
  Speaker 7: equity destroying our economy and inflation. We have a perfect
• 2:24:49
  Speaker 7: storm brewing right now. Another thing that Trump is doing,
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 7: I think, great that no one's really given credit for
• 2:24:54
  Speaker 7: is he is talking about single-family homes being too costly
• 2:25:00
  Speaker 7: for the average person out of college or trade school.
• 2:25:04
  Speaker 7: In some states, the average starter home is $ 1 million.
• 2:25:07
  Speaker 7: That means you would have to come up with $ 200, 000
• 2:25:09
  Speaker 7: of down payment money just to get an average home.
• 2:25:13
  Speaker 7: And to me, that's crazy. So there's some stuff that
• 2:25:16
  Speaker 7: maybe I don't know what the hell is going on anymore,
• 2:25:18
  Speaker 7: and there's a new kind of economy. Everything I'm reading
• 2:25:22
  Speaker 7: says there's some pain coming, some major pain coming.
• 2:25:27
  Speaker 1: Boy, my ears are burning. They have really perked up
• 2:25:30
  Speaker 1: just on that last statement that you're making. I mean,
• 2:25:35
  Speaker 1: so you're looking economically, and you are deeply, deeply concerned
• 2:25:41
  Speaker 1: about with where we're going, because I understand the recessions,
• 2:25:47
  Speaker 1: but when you start using the depression word, that becomes
• 2:25:51
  Speaker 1: just downright frightening.
• 2:25:54
  Speaker 7: It just seems like history repeats itself. If you look
• 2:25:56
  Speaker 7: at the 20s, right, the roaring 20s, you see how
• 2:25:59
  Speaker 7: great things were going. I mean, it made no sense,
• 2:26:04
  Speaker 7: some of the stuff, the prices and how great. Everybody
• 2:26:07
  Speaker 7: was so happy in the 20s, right? And then 1929
• 2:26:10
  Speaker 7: came across and just crashed everything. And then thankfully and unthankfully,
• 2:26:14
  Speaker 7: World War II kind of pulled us out of it.
• 2:26:18
  Speaker 7: But we have a lot of the same things going
• 2:26:21
  Speaker 7: on right now to where things are just too good
• 2:26:24
  Speaker 7: to be true. There's going to be a hole in
• 2:26:27
  Speaker 7: the bucket. So eventually the water runs out of the
• 2:26:30
  Speaker 7: bucket and there's nowhere else to go. Now, something has
• 2:26:33
  Speaker 7: happened because of, we learned some lessons from the Great
• 2:26:35
  Speaker 7: Depression and depression and recessions. By the way, I think
• 2:26:39
  Speaker 7: they didn't say it, but let's face it, 2008 was
• 2:26:42
  Speaker 7: a depression. There wasn't a recession. So when they say,
• 2:26:47
  Speaker 7: you know, that things are going good and everybody's humming along,
• 2:26:52
  Speaker 7: just ask XYZ, normal person in New York, Say Columbus,
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 7: you and your wife are making together $ 120, 000 a year.
• 2:27:01
  Speaker 7: Are you living a fabulous lifestyle? And the answer is no,
• 2:27:04
  Speaker 7: we're living. We're surviving. We're living a decent life. But
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 7: when somebody has to make $ 120, 000 a year in the
• 2:27:10
  Speaker 7: state of Ohio, they had a good life. It wasn't
• 2:27:14
  Speaker 7: just living. You look at what this ASSHOLE in New
• 2:27:16
  Speaker 7: York is doing. That's a big telltale sign about what
• 2:27:23
  Speaker 7: I'm talking about. You know, they had, obviously, a socialist mayor. Now,
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 7: I think they just elected a primary socialist senator coming
• 2:27:33
  Speaker 7: on board.
• 2:27:34
  Speaker 1: Several socialists won, and the Democrats socialists won in New
• 2:27:37
  Speaker 1: York in the primary. You are correct.
• 2:27:41
  Speaker 7: Think about the message here. Think about the message. New
• 2:27:45
  Speaker 7: Yorkers know, people know, they know that it's wrong. But
• 2:27:48
  Speaker 7: what's happened is you've got people making $ 200, 000 a year,
• 2:27:53
  Speaker 7: families in New York who are not making it. Once
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 7: you think about how much $ 200, 000 a year is, they're
• 2:28:01
  Speaker 7: not making it, or if they're making it, they're barely
• 2:28:03
  Speaker 7: making it. You know what's happened is they forced people
• 2:28:07
  Speaker 7: to say, you know what? What's the use? Let's vote
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 7: for something else. It's not like it can hurt. And
• 2:28:15
  Speaker 7: so that's what scares me. If you can get a
• 2:28:18
  Speaker 7: socialist agenda passed in a city that was built on capitalism,
• 2:28:24
  Speaker 7: you think about it was built on people coming in
• 2:28:27
  Speaker 7: from Europe with a loaf of bread and a nickel
• 2:28:29
  Speaker 7: in their pocket with hope, right? Saying, I can do it.
• 2:28:32
  Speaker 7: I can go from being an immigrant that can hardly
• 2:28:35
  Speaker 7: speak English with a nickel in my pocket to build
• 2:28:37
  Speaker 7: a million-dollar business. That was what made America great. So
• 2:28:41
  Speaker 7: now we're reversing course and.
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 1: Saying, you know what?
• 2:28:45
  Speaker 7: Give me socialism because I have no way out. And
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 7: here's my scare. The media and the marketing of that
• 2:28:51
  Speaker 7: does a great job. Maybe that message resounds in Charlotte, Atlanta, Georgia,
• 2:28:58
  Speaker 7: some of these more liberal cities. And now you got
• 2:29:01
  Speaker 7: three cities.
• 2:29:02
  Speaker 1: I'm just guessing.
• 2:29:02
  Speaker 7: I'm making something up here. Now you got three cities saying,
• 2:29:05
  Speaker 7: you know what? Maybe the social singing ain't bad and
• 2:29:09
  Speaker 7: isn't bad. And then it catches wildfire. And maybe now
• 2:29:13
  Speaker 7: Los Angeles is socialist, and now maybe Seattle catches fire.
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 7: That's what scares me. And if when you put people
• 2:29:21
  Speaker 7: in a corner saying we have no way out, and
• 2:29:23
  Speaker 7: they're voting for socialism, there's a message there that no
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 7: one's paying attention to.
• 2:29:45
  Speaker 31: A urgent weather message. The National Weather Service in Cleveland
• 2:29:49
  Speaker 31: has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for southwestern Trumbull County
• 2:29:53
  Speaker 31: in northeastern Ohio, northeastern Portage County in northeastern Ohio, southeastern
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 31: Geauga County in northeastern Ohio, until 7.15 p.m.
• 2:30:02
  Speaker 7: EDT.
• 2:30:02
  Speaker 14: At 6.23 p.m.
• 2:30:02
  Speaker 31: EDT, a severe thunderstorm was located near Manoway or 13
• 2:30:05
  Speaker 31: miles north of Ravenna, moving east at 30 mph. Hazard,

• 2:30:22
  Speaker 31: is possible. Locations impacted include Warren, Lordstown, Garrettsville, West Farmington, Bristolville, Leavittsburg, Parkman, Hiram,
• 2:30:32
  Speaker 31: and Champion Heights. For your protection move to an interior
• 2:30:36
  Speaker 31: room on the lowest floor of a building.
• 2:30:39
  Speaker 1: Repeating, a severe.
• 2:30:40
  Speaker 31: Thunderstorm warning has been issued until 7.15 p.m. Eastern Daylight
• 2:30:44
  Speaker 31: Time for the following counties in Ohio, Geauga, Portage, and Trumbull.
• 2:31:04
  Speaker 1: John, this is a fascinating topic. I took a call
• 2:31:07
  Speaker 1: on the program either today or maybe it was yesterday
• 2:31:10
  Speaker 1: when the caller was saying they're making more money than
• 2:31:13
  Speaker 1: they ever thought they would make. In our community, we're talking, John,
• 2:31:16
  Speaker 1: in our community, than they ever dreamed that they would make.
• 2:31:19
  Speaker 1: And yet... It seems as though it's not enough because
• 2:31:23
  Speaker 1: of inflation. Good guy, good career, good job. Shouldn't be
• 2:31:29
  Speaker 1: worrying about the things you're talking about. Everything that you
• 2:31:33
  Speaker 1: were just saying made me think of that caller who
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 1: said how concerned he was. And there's a big problem here.
• 2:31:40
  Speaker 1: Is it that capitalism, you've got too many people falling
• 2:31:44
  Speaker 1: behind who are working hard, as you describe, and the
• 2:31:47
  Speaker 1: inflation is so high that people are saying, let's try
• 2:31:51
  Speaker 1: another way, particularly younger people?
• 2:31:56
  Speaker 7: You've beaten them down into submission. So that's what we
• 2:31:59
  Speaker 7: do in jiu-jitsu. So we wear people down to where
• 2:32:02
  Speaker 7: they're just so weak, we put a submission seat, put
• 2:32:05
  Speaker 7: a move on them. from the technique to where they're like,
• 2:32:07
  Speaker 7: they just tap out because they're just so exhausted or
• 2:32:09
  Speaker 7: the pain's too much. That is exactly what's going on.
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 7: And what especially young people in the middle class are saying, hey,
• 2:32:17
  Speaker 7: we're working 60 hours a week. We've been shutting the
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 7: lights up. We're doing everything right. And we're still not
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 7: making it. And we're making a ton of damn money. So,
• 2:32:27
  Speaker 7: you know, when you put people in the submission, two
• 2:32:30
  Speaker 7: things happen. Either they fully submit or they start the revolt.
• 2:32:34
  Speaker 7: And so my hope is that people grow a pair
• 2:32:37
  Speaker 7: of balls and start to revolt and say, enough's enough.
• 2:32:39
  Speaker 1: Right. I certainly hope you're right about that. Stand by, John.
• 2:32:43
  Speaker 1: We're going to come back after the break. We're going
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 1: to talk about John's hedge fund and how you can
• 2:32:48
  Speaker 1: get involved in it and what it's all about in
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 1: segment number two. I got to tell you, it's what
• 2:32:54
  Speaker 1: I enjoy about talking with John Arnold when he gives
• 2:32:58
  Speaker 1: his assessment. Before I break, John, I mean, I am still...
• 2:33:02
  Speaker 1: Almost tongue-tied when I heard you talk about you're worried
• 2:33:05
  Speaker 1: about a recession and potentially a depression based on how
• 2:33:09
  Speaker 1: things are going because of AI, because of inflation. I mean,
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 1: that is just, I mean, that is really stuns me.
• 2:33:17
  Speaker 1: It really stuns me. Johnny can elaborate a little bit
• 2:33:20
  Speaker 1: more on that. We'll talk about the hedge funds. It's
• 2:33:24
  Speaker 1: something you don't want to miss. Segment two, Money Talks
• 2:33:26
  Speaker 1: with John Arnold. I get to hook up with John.
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 1: Segment number two on NewsRadio 570. But first, let me
• 2:33:32
  Speaker 1: talk to you about Stadium GM in the heart of Salem,
• 2:33:34
  Speaker 1: where all the brands you want for GM is under
• 2:33:37
  Speaker 1: one roof, whether that's Chevrolet, whether that's Buick. Oh, and
• 2:33:41
  Speaker 1: Buick is just making some great product anymore. It's not
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 1: your father's Buick anymore. Like I say, Chevrolet, Buick, GMC. And,
• 2:33:49
  Speaker 1: of course, Cadillac, all under one roof, all at Stadium GM.
• 2:33:53
  Speaker 1: Not part of some large conglomerate, but a dealership that's
• 2:33:56
  Speaker 1: been there, Shorty Navarro and Company, for years. It truly
• 2:34:01
  Speaker 1: is honored to have your business, strives to keep your
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 1: business and the rest of your family's business. And has
• 2:34:06
  Speaker 1: for many, many years and many, many decades for many
• 2:34:09
  Speaker 1: of our families and our community. That's the Stadium GM way,
• 2:34:12
  Speaker 1: I can tell you, as a customer. So if you're
• 2:34:14
  Speaker 1: in the market for any vehicle, go see Stadium GM.
• 2:34:18
  Speaker 1: It's not part of some large group of dealers. It's
• 2:34:21
  Speaker 1: Stadium GM. It's people that know your name, will continue
• 2:34:24
  Speaker 1: to know your name, are honored by your business, and

  Speaker 1: a look at all they have. As a customer, I
• 2:34:35
  Speaker 1: can tell you, you won't find a dealership that treats
• 2:34:38
  Speaker 1: you any better than the good folks at Stadium GM
• 2:34:41
  Speaker 1: in the heart of Salem. Now, I want to go
• 2:34:43
  Speaker 1: back to John Arnold. Folks, if you missed the first segments...
• 2:34:47
  Speaker 1: One of the things I personally enjoy the most is
• 2:34:49
  Speaker 1: when I ask John Earl what his thoughts are about
• 2:34:52
  Speaker 1: how things are going as far as the economy goes.
• 2:34:55
  Speaker 1: If you miss the first segment, you're going to have
• 2:34:57
  Speaker 1: to listen to it because he was talking. He's concerned
• 2:35:00
  Speaker 1: about potentially a recession and or even deepening. Everybody hates
• 2:35:05
  Speaker 1: to hear the depression word because it's much different than
• 2:35:08
  Speaker 1: it would be, I think, back in the day. But
• 2:35:10
  Speaker 1: a recession or a very deep recession is what you're
• 2:35:13
  Speaker 1: concerned about, John. You were talking because of the jobs
• 2:35:17
  Speaker 1: that AI will replace. And you were also talking about algorithms.
• 2:35:23
  Speaker 1: I'll get back to that. But you were talking about
• 2:35:26
  Speaker 1: the dangers of private equity firms. Talk to me. That
• 2:35:30
  Speaker 1: was the third one. You had three reasons why you
• 2:35:32
  Speaker 1: were concerned about the future of the economy. What did
• 2:35:35
  Speaker 1: you mean by that?
• 2:35:37
  Speaker 7: Now that's the real demon that no one's talking about.
• 2:35:40
  Speaker 7: So private equity is a group of wealthy people. And
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 7: by the way, I'm probably going to start a private
• 2:35:45
  Speaker 7: equity fund for real estate and for businesses, but I
• 2:35:48
  Speaker 7: got to get my first fund filled out first, but
• 2:35:51
  Speaker 7: I'm hopefully that I don't go evil. Like majority of
• 2:35:54
  Speaker 7: these private equity firms do.
• 2:35:55
  Speaker 5: So here's what happens.
• 2:35:57
  Speaker 7: A bunch of, Wealthy people that say, you know what,
• 2:36:00
  Speaker 7: we think that this actually happened. We think these eye
• 2:36:04
  Speaker 7: care centers that are owned by these mom and pop
• 2:36:07
  Speaker 7: eye doctors that are excellent at their job, we think
• 2:36:11
  Speaker 7: we can make them an offer for, you know, a
• 2:36:13
  Speaker 7: really nice offer and buy their practices out, get them
• 2:36:16
  Speaker 7: to stay on with us for a couple years, and
• 2:36:19
  Speaker 7: then transition them out and plug our own stuff in.
• 2:36:22
  Speaker 7: And then balance the budget, so to speak, that's what
• 2:36:26
  Speaker 7: the listeners would understand, to where now it's way more
• 2:36:29
  Speaker 7: profitable in like five years. The numbers look really good
• 2:36:33
  Speaker 7: on paper. And then we sell it to another private
• 2:36:36
  Speaker 7: equity firm for 10x, which means 10 times the amount
• 2:36:39
  Speaker 7: that they paid it. So what's happening behind the scenes
• 2:36:41
  Speaker 7: that no one's talking about is these small businesses, the
• 2:36:45
  Speaker 7: mediocre mid-sized business that were owned by people like me
• 2:36:50
  Speaker 7: and other folks that truly cared about their customer, we're
• 2:36:55
  Speaker 7: getting huge checks to just say, you know what? I
• 2:36:59
  Speaker 7: can't do it anymore. And listen, one of the reasons why.
• 2:37:02
  Speaker 10: I, by.
• 2:37:04
  Speaker 7: The way, turned down private equity to sell to Adam
• 2:37:06
  Speaker 7: and Joe because I had clients private it. Privately that
• 2:37:11
  Speaker 7: I can't name that sold out the private equity. And
• 2:37:13
  Speaker 7: they said, oh, my God, what a nightmare that was.
• 2:37:16
  Speaker 7: They used and abused them. They were under contract. They
• 2:37:19
  Speaker 7: didn't get the final check until, you know, until the
• 2:37:23
  Speaker 7: very last month. And if they didn't meet the certain
• 2:37:25
  Speaker 7: number as far as retaining revenue or customers or both,
• 2:37:29
  Speaker 7: they didn't get their final check. so they had them
• 2:37:30
  Speaker 7: by the you-know-whats, right? But boy, when they can cash out,
• 2:37:34
  Speaker 7: they cash out. I even had one person cash out early.
• 2:37:38
  Speaker 7: She said, screw the final check. I can't do this anymore.
• 2:37:42
  Speaker 7: So what happens is these wealthy people described to a
• 2:37:45
  Speaker 7: fund that This private equity fund goes and buys a
• 2:37:49
  Speaker 7: certain sector of business, and they scale it. And what happens,
• 2:37:52
  Speaker 7: scale means that economies are scaled to where the more units,
• 2:37:57
  Speaker 7: the lesser cost. And they also apply something called a
• 2:38:01
  Speaker 7: Pareto rule. A Pareto rule is 80-20. So you might
• 2:38:04
  Speaker 7: lose 20% of your clientele, but the 80% that stay,
• 2:38:08
  Speaker 7: you'll raise the price on them. So you'll have less
• 2:38:12
  Speaker 7: operating costs but more profit. And it's worked. They figured
• 2:38:16
  Speaker 7: it out. And you combine that with the algorithms, and
• 2:38:19
  Speaker 7: you combine that with AI, which is going to make
• 2:38:21
  Speaker 7: it even more efficient. Private equity, algorithms, and AI in
• 2:38:26
  Speaker 7: digital currency, I think, are the end all for our days.
• 2:38:29
  Speaker 7: I think that's going to be the final stake in
• 2:38:32
  Speaker 7: the heart for capitalism, for the working man and woman
• 2:38:36
  Speaker 7: to go out and start something. And it's happening right
• 2:38:38
  Speaker 7: before my very eyes. They're doing it in the financial field.
• 2:38:41
  Speaker 7: They're doing it in the accounting field.
• 2:38:43
  Speaker 14: They..
• 2:38:44
  Speaker 7: I think Handles is out by private equity, majority of
• 2:38:47
  Speaker 7: it now. You wouldn't believe how many shops you think
• 2:38:51
  Speaker 7: are owned by mom and pop now that private equity owns,
• 2:38:54
  Speaker 7: and they're just writing out their days until they get
• 2:38:56
  Speaker 7: their final check. So when you walk into a clinic
• 2:38:59
  Speaker 7: now or a business, and you're like, holy.
• 2:39:01
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 2:39:02
  Speaker 7: Boy, the service has really gone downhill, or the product
• 2:39:05
  Speaker 7: really sucks, or both. You know what's happening is private
• 2:39:09
  Speaker 7: equity has taken over. You just don't know it. They
• 2:39:11
  Speaker 7: kept the same name. They kept the same brand. They
• 2:39:14
  Speaker 7: kept the same everything. On the cover of the magazine,
• 2:39:16
  Speaker 7: it looks like the same people. It looks like the
• 2:39:18
  Speaker 7: same operation. But what you don't know, it's not the
• 2:39:21
  Speaker 7: same service and it's not the same product. You're probably
• 2:39:24
  Speaker 7: getting a way lesser product-related service because, again, their goal
• 2:39:27
  Speaker 7: is to make the numbers and the margins as big
• 2:39:29
  Speaker 7: as possible so they can solicit that group of whatever
• 2:39:34
  Speaker 7: they bought to a bigger private equity firm and get
• 2:39:36
  Speaker 7: a bigger number.
• 2:39:38
  Speaker 1: And you know what?
• 2:39:39
  Speaker 7: Money talks and you know what walks. And you know
• 2:39:40
  Speaker 7: what happens? Say you got 100 people offering a million dollars,
• 2:39:46
  Speaker 7: that's $ 100 million. You start offering $ 5 million buyouts to
• 2:39:50
  Speaker 7: small medical clinics or small dentistry or small people that
• 2:39:56
  Speaker 7: build decks for a living. I'm just making stuff up.
• 2:39:58
  Speaker 7: They're going to take it because you know what? I
• 2:40:00
  Speaker 7: would too. If I'm just worn down And like I was.
• 2:40:05
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. Just pause for a second. Folks, my
• 2:40:11
  Speaker 1: ears are perking up as he's talking because I'm here
• 2:40:14
  Speaker 1: to tell you this is going on in this community
• 2:40:19
  Speaker 1: and so many other communities. What you're saying is 100% true.
• 2:40:23
  Speaker 1: They keep the name of the small business that they bought.
• 2:40:28
  Speaker 1: They don't change the name or indicate that it's changed
• 2:40:31
  Speaker 1: any different at all. In many cases, like you say,
• 2:40:33
  Speaker 1: they keep the owners on for a period of time.
• 2:40:36
  Speaker 1: But it's owned by a private equity firm whose goal
• 2:40:39
  Speaker 1: is to how can we make more money? How can
• 2:40:44
  Speaker 1: we screw the customer more? And you're seeing this happen.
• 2:40:48
  Speaker 1: In the heating and cooling industry. My friend Bob Dieter
• 2:40:54
  Speaker 1: talks about it all the time. You're seeing in the
• 2:40:56
  Speaker 1: heating and cooling industry where local companies aren't local anymore.
• 2:41:01
  Speaker 1: These investment companies buy them. They have the technician that
• 2:41:05
  Speaker 1: comes out to fix your product. And instead of fixing it,
• 2:41:08
  Speaker 1: they tell you you need to replace it because they
• 2:41:11
  Speaker 1: incentivize the technician who should be repairing your thing that
• 2:41:14
  Speaker 1: if you sell them a new system or tell them
• 2:41:16
  Speaker 1: they need a new system, you'll get some big bonus
• 2:41:18
  Speaker 1: and everybody makes more money. But it costs the customer more.
• 2:41:22
  Speaker 1: You follow what I'm saying? It's dishonest.
• 2:41:24
  Speaker 7: I'm explaining it. You know what?
• 2:41:29
  Speaker 1: I just want to emphasize, this is in funeral homes.
• 2:41:32
  Speaker 1: This is in heating and cooling. This is in funeral homes.
• 2:41:35
  Speaker 1: This is going on in so many small businesses that
• 2:41:38
  Speaker 1: have the same name, but it's owned by an investment company.
• 2:41:41
  Speaker 1: You are just spot on as you're talking. Go ahead, please.
• 2:41:46
  Speaker 7: Well, here's the thing. They are going to incorporate more
• 2:41:50
  Speaker 7: in AI. They're going to incorporate more low-level employees. They're
• 2:41:54
  Speaker 7: going to incorporate way less quality of a product. And
• 2:41:58
  Speaker 7: you're going to not realize until it's too late. And
• 2:42:01
  Speaker 7: then they're going to resell it to another private equity
• 2:42:04
  Speaker 7: firm who's going to do the same thing but even worse.
• 2:42:07
  Speaker 7: And then before you even know it, 60%, 70% of
• 2:42:10
  Speaker 7: our manufacturers and service providers are going to be private equity-based.
• 2:42:15
  Speaker 7: Then what are you going to do?
• 2:42:16
  Speaker 1: Where the focus is all about how can we make
• 2:42:20
  Speaker 1: even more money. I mean, I do not want to
• 2:42:23
  Speaker 1: go to, as you were saying, an eye doctor clinic
• 2:42:26
  Speaker 1: that's bought by a private equity firm that tells the
• 2:42:28
  Speaker 1: eye doctor you've got to move the patients along. You've
• 2:42:31
  Speaker 1: got to get more people in there so we can
• 2:42:32
  Speaker 1: make more money. Or a medical doctor. You want to
• 2:42:36
  Speaker 1: go to places like that that you feel they have
• 2:42:38
  Speaker 1: your best interest at heart, that they're not part of
• 2:42:41
  Speaker 1: a private equity firm. I was reading where... Dr. Allen
• 2:42:46
  Speaker 1: wrote a letter to the Vindicator on how this is
• 2:42:49
  Speaker 1: very prevalent, John, in veterinary clinics.
• 2:42:52
  Speaker 7: Oh, it sure is.
• 2:42:55
  Speaker 1: And what do they do? They buy the veterinary services.
• 2:42:59
  Speaker 1: They put in new equipment. They kind of pressure the
• 2:43:02
  Speaker 1: vet to encourage people to use it. It's costly. I mean,
• 2:43:07
  Speaker 1: when you read what he wrote in a paper, this
• 2:43:09
  Speaker 1: is just a place where you take your dog or cat. Uh-uh.
• 2:43:14
  Speaker 7: That's not what it is. To them, they don't even
• 2:43:16
  Speaker 7: look at it like that. They could give a rat's
• 2:43:18
  Speaker 7: ass what you're selling or servicing. They just know that
• 2:43:20
  Speaker 7: it's a profitable business and they can make it even
• 2:43:23
  Speaker 7: more profitable. That's the problem. There's no heart in it.
• 2:43:25
  Speaker 7: There's no humanity in it. There's just a numbers game.
• 2:43:28
  Speaker 7: And here's the other problem. They're using humanity against itself.
• 2:43:32
  Speaker 7: So let's say you've been working 30 years and it's
• 2:43:36
  Speaker 7: hard to find employees and the cost of everything is
• 2:43:38
  Speaker 7: going up and you're getting the age to where your
• 2:43:41
  Speaker 7: kids are growing and your grandkids.
• 2:43:43
  Speaker 1: You want to retire.
• 2:43:44
  Speaker 7: There's always a $ 5 million check in front of you. Right.
• 2:43:46
  Speaker 7: And they say, we're going to give you 60% of
• 2:43:49
  Speaker 7: this up front, 20% on the second year if this
• 2:43:52
  Speaker 7: revenue holds, and then 20% thereafter and then you're out
• 2:43:55
  Speaker 7: of here. Right.
• 2:43:56
  Speaker 18: You know what you're going to do?
• 2:43:57
  Speaker 7: You're going to say, you know what? I got to
• 2:43:59
  Speaker 7: look out for my own family and my own life
• 2:44:00
  Speaker 7: because I only got so many years left. I'm going
• 2:44:01
  Speaker 7: to take that check.
• 2:44:02
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 2:44:03
  Speaker 7: Even if you don't want to, right?
• 2:44:04
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:44:05
  Speaker 7: Because here's the other thing that I was talking about.
• 2:44:07
  Speaker 7: It is so damn hard to get quality employees. So
• 2:44:10
  Speaker 7: when you're trying to run an operation how you used to,
• 2:44:13
  Speaker 7: you can't do it anymore. That was one of the
• 2:44:15
  Speaker 7: things that hurt me. I ran an operation that was militant. Like,
• 2:44:19
  Speaker 7: you said good morning, good afternoon. You answered the phone
• 2:44:21
  Speaker 7: on the second ring. You made sure that the client
• 2:44:24
  Speaker 7: knew that they were right in your paycheck. Like, you
• 2:44:27
  Speaker 7: don't come in late. You come dresser. So all the
• 2:44:29
  Speaker 7: things that I was taught that I believed in, those
• 2:44:32
  Speaker 7: don't exist anymore. Now you go into a restaurant, the
• 2:44:36
  Speaker 7: host or host looks like a bum. They're on the phone.
• 2:44:39
  Speaker 7: You might get a good server, you might not, it
• 2:44:40
  Speaker 7: doesn't matter. But what's happened is you got businesses overwhelmed
• 2:44:44
  Speaker 7: and basically submitted to saying, you know what, we just
• 2:44:47
  Speaker 7: want a body. We just want a body in the
• 2:44:50
  Speaker 7: place because we have no other option. Now in comes
• 2:44:53
  Speaker 7: private equity, so I'm going to save the day. Here's
• 2:44:56
  Speaker 7: this check, we're going to take over, go live happily
• 2:44:59
  Speaker 7: ever after with your life in three years. And you
• 2:45:02
  Speaker 7: as a person are saying.
• 2:45:04
  Speaker 4: You know what?
• 2:45:05
  Speaker 7: I'll never do that. I'll never do it.
• 2:45:06
  Speaker 1: And guess what?
• 2:45:07
  Speaker 7: There's a $ 3 or $ 5 million check in front of
• 2:45:09
  Speaker 7: your face, and you're getting older. You're saying, you know what?
• 2:45:11
  Speaker 7: I can't do this anymore. I'm taking the check. That's
• 2:45:14
  Speaker 7: what's going on. They have submitted humanity, and they submitted
• 2:45:17
  Speaker 7: the average American to saying, you know what? I got
• 2:45:19
  Speaker 7: to move forward because this is the end. I have
• 2:45:21
  Speaker 7: to live my best days out. And now America submitted
• 2:45:25
  Speaker 7: the private equity. What I just told you is straight truth.
• 2:45:28
  Speaker 7: And what Dr. Allen did, he was a straight talker too.
• 2:45:30
  Speaker 7: He's telling the truth. I'm telling you things, listeners, that
• 2:45:32
  Speaker 7: you maybe don't know what's going on. Right before your
• 2:45:35
  Speaker 7: very eyes, your country is unfolding. It's imploding right before
• 2:45:38
  Speaker 7: your eyes. And there's not a damn thing you're doing
• 2:45:40
  Speaker 7: about it.
• 2:45:41
  Speaker 1: And can I say a lot of this is greed?
• 2:45:46
  Speaker 1: It's all greed.
• 2:45:48
  Speaker 7: It's all greed.
• 2:45:48
  Speaker 1: This is perhaps why some of these young people are
• 2:45:51
  Speaker 1: voting Democrat Socialist, because they're looking around and seeing what's
• 2:45:54
  Speaker 1: going on. These folks are triggering that reaction. Revolutions are
• 2:46:00
  Speaker 1: fought on hungry bellies.
• 2:46:03
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 2:46:03
  Speaker 7: But you know what's cool? No, it's cool. This is
• 2:46:06
  Speaker 7: all political. Exactly what private equity wants. They want robots.
• 2:46:10
  Speaker 7: They want to give you X amount of units, and
• 2:46:13
  Speaker 7: they want to say you get to work less money
• 2:46:14
  Speaker 7: or work less hours. We're going to give you less,
• 2:46:17
  Speaker 7: but you're going to get more time off, and that's
• 2:46:19
  Speaker 7: the new generation. That's what they're about. So they love
• 2:46:23
  Speaker 7: the socialism. They love the fact that they can have
• 2:46:26
  Speaker 7: their little minions and their robots because now they don't
• 2:46:29
  Speaker 7: have competition. Their only other competition is private equity, which
• 2:46:32
  Speaker 7: is just other greed. That's the only thing that matters
• 2:46:35
  Speaker 7: now is greed. And you're seeing it in medical, you're
• 2:46:39
  Speaker 7: seeing it, like you said, in funeral homes, in veterinarian,
• 2:46:42
  Speaker 7: you're seeing it in dentistry, you're seeing it especially in
• 2:46:43
  Speaker 7: financial services practice, insurance practice, accounting practice. They are scaling
• 2:46:49
  Speaker 7: everything through private equity. And guess what? That's why when
• 2:46:53
  Speaker 7: you call somewhere and sometimes you got an American, sometimes
• 2:46:56
  Speaker 7: you got an Indian, now you're strictly getting an Indian.
• 2:46:58
  Speaker 7: You're strictly getting, you know... At the end of the day,
• 2:47:04
  Speaker 7: it pisses me off because it's the opposite of what
• 2:47:06
  Speaker 7: this country is built on. But they have you under
• 2:47:08
  Speaker 7: their thumb, and you're right. It's driving everything. That's the
• 2:47:11
  Speaker 7: plan towards socialism. And unfortunately, there's a guy who's trying
• 2:47:16
  Speaker 7: to save it and some people with him.
• 2:47:17
  Speaker 1: His name is Donald Trump. But guess what?
• 2:47:20
  Speaker 7: He's not going to win. He might win temporarily. But
• 2:47:24
  Speaker 7: this title wave is coming. And there's not a thing
• 2:47:27
  Speaker 7: you can do to stop it.
• 2:47:29
  Speaker 1: Well, as you were talking, I was thinking about where
• 2:47:32
  Speaker 1: Trump wants to limit how many homes these investment firms
• 2:47:36
  Speaker 1: would be buying, private homes. I mean, the ones like
• 2:47:40
  Speaker 1: all of us live in, and they would be buying
• 2:47:42
  Speaker 1: them with no inspection and be giving you more than
• 2:47:45
  Speaker 1: asking because they wanted to buy all the private homes,
• 2:47:48
  Speaker 1: raising the home prices on the market, shutting out first-time
• 2:47:51
  Speaker 1: homebuyers so that they could dominate it as far as
• 2:47:54
  Speaker 1: rentals are concerned. I mean, that's a shining example, isn't it,
• 2:47:58
  Speaker 1: of what you're talking about?
• 2:47:59
  Speaker 7: You control the supply and demand of the housing market.
• 2:48:02
  Speaker 7: And four years to six years, they've controlled the housing market.
• 2:48:06
  Speaker 7: That's why we have in some states the average total
• 2:48:09
  Speaker 7: home in a million dollars, because of BlackRock. And shame
• 2:48:12
  Speaker 7: on the people who let that happen. And here's the
• 2:48:14
  Speaker 7: guy trying to undo it, and he's being treated like
• 2:48:16
  Speaker 7: some kind of ass. And it's wrong. He's the only one.
• 2:48:20
  Speaker 7: He's fighting for both parties. He's fighting for the middle class,
• 2:48:22
  Speaker 7: the lower class, and the high class with that. But
• 2:48:24
  Speaker 7: BlackRock is like Vanguard and the other, what is it, Street?
• 2:48:29
  Speaker 7: They own like 70% of the S & P 500.
• 2:48:30
  Speaker 7: Good luck fighting those guys.
• 2:48:37
  Speaker 16: Wow.
• 2:48:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, I hope people are paying attention to this
• 2:48:41
  Speaker 1: because it is exactly what is going on. We're talking
• 2:48:45
  Speaker 1: with John Arnold, Money Talks, News Radio 570 WKBN. So
• 2:48:50
  Speaker 1: you mentioned about, we all know AI replacing jobs, and
• 2:48:53
  Speaker 1: you mentioned... these private equity firms, which is excellent. You
• 2:48:58
  Speaker 1: lost me a little bit on algorithms. You mean just
• 2:49:02
  Speaker 1: tracking where you are, what you're buying? Is that what
• 2:49:04
  Speaker 1: you mean by that real quick?
• 2:49:05
  Speaker 7: So an algorithm is now a computerized actuary. So it's
• 2:49:10
  Speaker 7: using AI to perform an algorithm. An algorithm is basically
• 2:49:13
  Speaker 7: a math efficiency theory that basically says, for, I don't know,
• 2:49:19
  Speaker 7: every hundred units, here's the probabilities of what's gonna happen.
• 2:49:23
  Speaker 7: They have mathematically figured it out on a computer. So
• 2:49:26
  Speaker 7: that's what that means. Like back in the day, a
• 2:49:29
  Speaker 7: human being, and it went to Ivy League school and
• 2:49:31
  Speaker 7: became what's called an actuary. They figured out at age 40,
• 2:49:35
  Speaker 7: the probability is somebody that's a smoker is probably gonna
• 2:49:39
  Speaker 7: die at this age. Someone who's not a smoker is
• 2:49:42
  Speaker 7: probably gonna die at this age. That would be like
• 2:49:44
  Speaker 7: a human capital algorithm. Now what's happened is, that's why
• 2:49:48
  Speaker 7: you have all these insurance companies that are coming out
• 2:49:50
  Speaker 7: of woodwork saying, go online and apply for this and
• 2:49:53
  Speaker 7: we'll give you a policy overnight. They have figured out
• 2:49:56
  Speaker 7: from an algorithm to a perfect mathematic probability on a
• 2:50:00
  Speaker 7: ratio that if you're this age and you have these
• 2:50:03
  Speaker 7: medical symptoms and you're a smoker, you are going to
• 2:50:06
  Speaker 7: probably die within these months, X amount of months from here.
• 2:50:10
  Speaker 7: It could be 30 months, it could be 100, I
• 2:50:12
  Speaker 7: don't know. But they have made a perfect algorithm to
• 2:50:17
  Speaker 7: put the companies against humanity. That's why your iPhone knows
• 2:50:25
  Speaker 7: what to advertise to you. That's an algorithm. Your iPhone
• 2:50:29
  Speaker 7: might hear you talking about Home Depot and going and
• 2:50:31
  Speaker 7: getting a grill. And sure enough, you go on Facebook,
• 2:50:34
  Speaker 7: there's going to be 10 grills advertised to you in
• 2:50:36
  Speaker 7: the next second. That's an algorithm.
• 2:50:39
  Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, it makes total sense to me. Let me
• 2:50:44
  Speaker 1: talk about the hedge funds. So much to talk about
• 2:50:46
  Speaker 1: with John Arnold here on Thursday night with Money Talks
• 2:50:49
  Speaker 1: on NewsRadio 570. Now I want to go and I
• 2:50:52
  Speaker 1: want to talk about the hedge funds. Going better than
• 2:50:57
  Speaker 1: you dreamed, obviously. I mean, it's something that you always
• 2:51:00
  Speaker 1: wanted to start. It occupies a heck of a lot
• 2:51:03
  Speaker 1: of your time. You still have some openings available, but
• 2:51:07
  Speaker 1: when you reach 100, that hedge fund is then capped.
• 2:51:10
  Speaker 1: Talk a little bit about the hedge fund, the requirements,
• 2:51:13
  Speaker 1: what it's all about for people that are listening for
• 2:51:16
  Speaker 1: the first time, the John Arnold hedge funds. Tell them
• 2:51:20
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 2:51:21
  Speaker 7: All right, listen. So you have to be an accredited investor,
• 2:51:24
  Speaker 7: which is one of the things I love. Okay, you
• 2:51:25
  Speaker 7: have to have one of. You don't have to have
• 2:51:28
  Speaker 7: all of these.
• 2:51:28
  Speaker 1: You have to have one of.
• 2:51:29
  Speaker 7: You have to have $ 1 million in assets between you
• 2:51:32
  Speaker 7: and your wife outside of your permanent residence. So if
• 2:51:34
  Speaker 7: you live in a house in Ohio and that's your
• 2:51:37
  Speaker 7: permanent residence, but you have a rental property and you
• 2:51:40
  Speaker 7: have a home in Florida, the rental property and the
• 2:51:42
  Speaker 7: home in Florida count as your assets. So you might
• 2:51:44
  Speaker 7: have $ 600, 000 in a 401k, $ 200, 000 in a savings account,
• 2:51:49
  Speaker 7: and maybe another $ 500, 000 for rental properties and a vacation home.
• 2:51:53
  Speaker 7: Now you're well over the million, so that would count.
• 2:51:58
  Speaker 7: Or if you don't have that, but you make over
• 2:52:01
  Speaker 7: $ 200, 000 a year for the past two years, you're an
• 2:52:04
  Speaker 7: accredited investor. Or if you have the ability to just
• 2:52:09
  Speaker 7: dump in $ 200, 000, you're an accredited investor. So one of
• 2:52:13
  Speaker 7: those three have to happen. Here's the reason why people
• 2:52:16
  Speaker 7: have been loving the hedge fund. It's me and 99
• 2:52:20
  Speaker 7: other investors that own the same exact pie. Not more,
• 2:52:23
  Speaker 7: not less, just we own these stocks. We can make
• 2:52:27
  Speaker 7: a hedge fund anything. I can I can buy gravel
• 2:52:29
  Speaker 7: at $ 10 a pound or a ton and then sell
• 2:52:33
  Speaker 7: it 30 days later for.
• 2:52:35
  Speaker 1: $ 100 a ton.
• 2:52:35
  Speaker 7: There's a 90% gain there, right? So my point is...
• 2:52:41
  Speaker 7: Because what I know, this is what I think I'm
• 2:52:43
  Speaker 7: an expert in. I can't prove it. I think I'm
• 2:52:46
  Speaker 7: an expert at better than average stocks. So me and
• 2:52:49
  Speaker 7: 99 other investors own this pie of stocks. And you're saying, John,
• 2:52:53
  Speaker 7: I want you to perform. And if you don't perform,
• 2:52:56
  Speaker 7: we'll owe money back.
• 2:52:57
  Speaker 1: The end.
• 2:52:58
  Speaker 7: So at the end of every month, we say this
• 2:53:00
  Speaker 7: is what our fund performed at. The end. I don't
• 2:53:03
  Speaker 7: tell you what's in the fund. I don't tell you
• 2:53:04
  Speaker 7: up or down. Each position, it just says at the
• 2:53:08
  Speaker 7: end of 30 days, We perform at this, the end.
• 2:53:12
  Speaker 7: The cool thing I did for our what's called limited
• 2:53:14
  Speaker 7: partners is I only have a 30-day hold. I'm not
• 2:53:17
  Speaker 7: doing this for a living. I'm doing this more for
• 2:53:19
  Speaker 7: ego and to do something I love and which I
• 2:53:21
  Speaker 7: think I'm really good at. So if you want out
• 2:53:24
  Speaker 7: of the fund, all right, you can get your money
• 2:53:26
  Speaker 7: back out in 30 days. I don't care. Somebody else
• 2:53:27
  Speaker 7: is going to come in for you. It doesn't bother me.
• 2:53:31
  Speaker 7: So I built it to where it's very advantageous for
• 2:53:33
  Speaker 7: the client. Now, the other thing I did that I
• 2:53:36
  Speaker 7: think is very advantageous is I have for me to
• 2:53:38
  Speaker 7: get paid... I'm going to make the fund 5% first.
• 2:53:43
  Speaker 7: So if you put in 100 grand, I'm going to
• 2:53:45
  Speaker 7: make you 5%, which is 105,000. My clock, my fee
• 2:53:50
  Speaker 7: doesn't start ticking until we start hitting above 105. And
• 2:53:53
  Speaker 7: that's something you don't get in other firms. So that's
• 2:53:54
  Speaker 7: one of the things wealthy people or wealthier people love
• 2:53:59
  Speaker 7: about hedge fund investing is, one, I have to perform
• 2:54:03
  Speaker 7: no matter what the stock market does. And two, there's
• 2:54:06
  Speaker 7: a hurdle rate, which I just said. They're going to
• 2:54:08
  Speaker 7: get paid first, not me. Whereas before, when I owned
• 2:54:12
  Speaker 7: the RA investment firm that Rockport bought, I got paid
• 2:54:15
  Speaker 7: on the total account value. Market went down, I still
• 2:54:17
  Speaker 7: got paid. Market went up, still got paid. Did I
• 2:54:19
  Speaker 7: lose when the market lost?
• 2:54:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, I did.
• 2:54:21
  Speaker 7: Did I make more money when the market made more? Yes,
• 2:54:22
  Speaker 7: I did. So we were kind of on the same team.
• 2:54:25
  Speaker 7: But now, it's full functional performance. You either believe in
• 2:54:29
  Speaker 7: what I'm doing as a manager, or you don't. And
• 2:54:32
  Speaker 7: if you don't, you just cash out. So that's why
• 2:54:35
  Speaker 7: there's been an overflow of people that I never in
• 2:54:39
  Speaker 7: a million years thought I was going to get this
• 2:54:41
  Speaker 7: many people. I have 58 signed commitments with another potential
• 2:54:45
  Speaker 7: 20 verbal. And the only reason why they're verbal is
• 2:54:47
  Speaker 7: because there's only me and another guy. getting the application
• 2:54:51
  Speaker 7: process done. And I used to have a pretty sizable staff.
• 2:54:54
  Speaker 7: So it's just, there's this in line waiting. But man,
• 2:54:58
  Speaker 7: when I get to 100, it's filled up. Now here's
• 2:55:00
  Speaker 7: the day I'm dreaming of. Let's say October, November rolls around.
• 2:55:04
  Speaker 7: And I say, hey, me and Steve got this fund
• 2:55:07
  Speaker 7: up to say, again, here's a guess. Let's say it's
• 2:55:09
  Speaker 7: up 30% in August, excuse me, in October. I get
• 2:55:12
  Speaker 7: to report that on the radio, audited results, audited. And
• 2:55:16
  Speaker 7: so somebody can say, man, that guy really, That's.
• 2:55:19
  Speaker 25: What he was doing.
• 2:55:20
  Speaker 7: Or, let's say in October, hey, we're underperforming. Now I
• 2:55:24
  Speaker 7: have an uphill challenge. But it's all math. And that's
• 2:55:27
  Speaker 7: what I'm about. I used to tell people who came
• 2:55:30
  Speaker 7: into our firm, there's a guy that signed up for
• 2:55:32
  Speaker 7: the hedge fund. He said, you know why I signed
• 2:55:34
  Speaker 7: up with you? Because everybody else was pitching about They're
• 2:55:37
  Speaker 7: pitching me about where my kids played soccer and where
• 2:55:40
  Speaker 7: we go to church and, you know, let me take
• 2:55:42
  Speaker 7: you out to lunch and take you out to golf.
• 2:55:44
  Speaker 7: And he said, you said, I don't care about any
• 2:55:46
  Speaker 7: of that stuff. I want you to succeed and I'm
• 2:55:49
  Speaker 7: happy you're having a happy family life.
• 2:55:50
  Speaker 1: But you know what?
• 2:55:51
  Speaker 7: I said, listen, you know what I care about? I
• 2:55:53
  Speaker 7: want to beat the S & P. I want to
• 2:55:55
  Speaker 7: make you the most money as possible. That's what I
• 2:55:57
  Speaker 7: care about. And he said, his wife actually said, her
• 2:55:59
  Speaker 7: name was Libby. She said, that's why we picked you.
• 2:56:02
  Speaker 7: You are the guy telling me what nobody else wanted
• 2:56:05
  Speaker 7: to tell us. And that's what matters to us. If
• 2:56:08
  Speaker 7: a friendship forms, great. If not, it's just like you
• 2:56:10
  Speaker 7: can go see a surgeon. And that guy could be
• 2:56:13
  Speaker 7: the biggest what in the world. But if he can
• 2:56:15
  Speaker 7: fix my heart and I can walk out of there
• 2:56:17
  Speaker 7: and I'm still living to provide my family, that's what
• 2:56:20
  Speaker 7: matters to me. If I have the nicest guy in
• 2:56:23
  Speaker 7: the world, but he can't perform heart surgery, no thank you.
• 2:56:26
  Speaker 7: So in my world, math matters. And this with a
• 2:56:29
  Speaker 7: hedge fund, it's strictly math. Either I'm performing or I don't.
• 2:56:33
  Speaker 7: It doesn't matter I'm 5'8, brown hair, blue eyes. It
• 2:56:36
  Speaker 7: doesn't matter if you think I'm this or that. At
• 2:56:37
  Speaker 7: the end of the day, I either perform or I don't,
• 2:56:40
  Speaker 7: and that's why I dreamed of this day. Because now
• 2:56:43
  Speaker 7: it's full-blown math. The end. And math wins.
• 2:56:48
  Speaker 1: Well, absolutely. So, John gave you the criteria if you're
• 2:56:52
  Speaker 1: interested in getting involved in his hedge funds program. It
• 2:56:58
  Speaker 1: gets capped out at $ 100. And this is actively managed
• 2:57:02
  Speaker 1: by you each and every day on an active basis. to– Hourly. Yeah.
• 2:57:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, it occupies a lot of time. But one
• 2:57:10
  Speaker 1: of the things that you said on a previous show
• 2:57:12
  Speaker 1: is you started a hedge fund. A lot of hedge funds,
• 2:57:14
  Speaker 1: you've got to have a million dollars or whatever you
• 2:57:16
  Speaker 1: were saying in previous ones. You wanted to start a
• 2:57:18
  Speaker 1: hedge fund for this area that regular people could kind
• 2:57:23
  Speaker 1: of get into, people that have some money saved could
• 2:57:26
  Speaker 1: participate in and get– get involved in a hedge fund.
• 2:57:31
  Speaker 7: I mean, I, I, I, I've been a hedge for
• 2:57:34
  Speaker 7: people like me who came from nothing and built some
• 2:57:36
  Speaker 7: wealth that I couldn't, I would never have been invited
• 2:57:38
  Speaker 7: to settle the hedge fund or any, any other like
• 2:57:41
  Speaker 7: Ray Dalio's fund, which is a $ 25 million entry fee. Like, like,
• 2:57:45
  Speaker 7: or not fee, but.
• 2:57:46
  Speaker 1: Minimum, like, right.
• 2:57:47
  Speaker 7: Why can't we, why can't people like us, you Ron,
• 2:57:50
  Speaker 7: why can't we get into a hedge fund too?
• 2:57:51
  Speaker 18: And now you can't.
• 2:57:52
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:57:53
  Speaker 7: And then now I get to go one-on-one with these
• 2:57:55
  Speaker 7: guys and whip their ass. And that's, that's what I'm about.
• 2:57:58
  Speaker 1: There you have it. Now, if you're interested, we got
• 2:58:02
  Speaker 1: an email and phone number if you're interested in getting
