Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
0:05
Speaker 2: Well, Heidi Ho, 3.05 in the afternoon, NewsRadio 570 WKBN
0:09
Speaker 2: and Ron Verb. Welcome. Monday, October 12th already, 71 degrees.
0:15
Speaker 2: And let's see, anything exciting going on in this Monday,
0:18
Speaker 2: October 12th with 71 degrees? Oh, yeah, El Presidente coming
0:22
Speaker 2: to town. And so speaking at the Covelli Center. Around
0:27
Speaker 2: 6 o'clock, they say, tonight. He's supposed to speak. If
0:31
Speaker 2: those things run on time, we shall see. So President
0:36
Speaker 2: Trump coming to Youngstown, coming to the Covelli Center. I
0:41
Speaker 2: think they said Friday doors open at 2.30. You have
0:45
Speaker 2: to have tickets. But doors open at 2.30. And as
0:49
Speaker 2: I understand it, people were lined up way, way, way
0:52
Speaker 2: before the 2.30 time. I mean, it's almost like the
0:58
Speaker 2: Black Friday events that used to happen years ago with
1:01
Speaker 2: people lining up at the doors at Best Buy waiting
1:03
Speaker 2: for them to open. Well, a pair of people this
1:05
Speaker 2: morning were lined up at the Covelli Center waiting for
1:09
Speaker 2: the doors, obviously, to open and hopefully, I guess, to
1:12
Speaker 2: get a good seat to see President Trump. Think how
1:15
Speaker 2: long a day that would be. I mean, think how
1:18
Speaker 2: long a day it would be even now. If you
1:20
Speaker 2: go in at 2.30, I mean, you're looking at... three
1:24
Speaker 2: and a half hours if it runs on time before
1:27
Speaker 2: he even takes to the stage and starts to speak.
1:32
Speaker 2: That is quite a bit of that's quite a wait,
1:35
Speaker 2: isn't it? I mean, that's I mean, that's that's a
1:38
Speaker 2: long time to wait. But people do it. And it's
1:41
Speaker 2: a work day on top of that. So you have
1:43
Speaker 2: a work day and we shall see what what the
1:48
Speaker 2: situation is. Anyway, hopefully we'll talk to some folks that
1:51
Speaker 2: are down there. They call the broadcast 330-729-9977. I think,
1:58
Speaker 2: I think, I think we might see, we might hear
2:01
Speaker 2: from G2. I think G2 might be out of the
2:05
Speaker 2: bunker and potentially somewhere, somewhere at the Cavalli Center today
2:12
Speaker 2: for the Trump situation going on. Speech, if you will.
2:17
Speaker 2: So G2 is out of the bunker. I know that.
2:20
Speaker 2: And so we'll more than likely check in with the
2:22
Speaker 2: broadcast today. So that's big news for our area. So
2:27
Speaker 2: obviously he's coming to town to stump for Ramaswamy. Tight
2:33
Speaker 2: race there. Amy Acton ahead, they say, if you believe
2:35
Speaker 2: the polls. Tight, tight race there. And obviously for Houston.
2:41
Speaker 2: Sherrod Brown has a pretty decent lead, if you believe
2:44
Speaker 2: the polls. Like I like to say, Sherrod Brown has
2:46
Speaker 2: a lead over John Husted and Amy Acton. Sherrod Brown
2:51
Speaker 2: has a bigger lead over Husted than Amy Acton has
2:53
Speaker 2: over Ramaswamy. But needless to say, both of the Democrats
2:58
Speaker 2: have a lead supposedly over the Republicans. So obviously Trump
3:03
Speaker 2: is in town to stump, as they say, for the
3:08
Speaker 2: Republican candidates. Try to give them a boost, try to
3:11
Speaker 2: help them out. So we shall see what the situation
3:14
Speaker 2: is there and what the speech is all about as
3:17
Speaker 2: the afternoon goes on. It's a perfect day for everybody
3:20
Speaker 2: to be either way outside. I mean, we don't have
3:22
Speaker 2: any rain. We have perfect temperatures. So it's a glorious
3:26
Speaker 2: day for us. But it's always an exciting time when
3:29
Speaker 2: a president of the United States comes to your community.
3:32
Speaker 2: And that's cool. Outside of that, how about those Guardians?
3:36
Speaker 2: Was that not exciting on Saturday? We'll have the game
3:38
Speaker 2: tonight at 7.30. The Guardians, I think, 7.30 pregame, 8
3:44
Speaker 2: o'clock first pitch, as the Guardians move on, as they say,
3:50
Speaker 2: in this postseason play. So needless to say, Guardians play
3:54
Speaker 2: tonight here. It's exciting to listen to that. Browns were
3:58
Speaker 2: a disappointment. YSU was just huge. I mean, just hugely
4:04
Speaker 2: victorious on Saturday. I think I covered the wild, wacky
4:07
Speaker 2: world of sports. YSU wins. Browns lose. Guardians win and
4:11
Speaker 2: move on. Guardians on the air tonight. President Trump coming
4:15
Speaker 2: to town and G2 on location. You're on the air.
4:21
Speaker 3: Hello.
4:23
Speaker 2: You got to say hello into the phone. Put you back.
4:27
Speaker 2: You're on the air.
4:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ronaldo, good afternoon. For my fellow Social Security recipients,
4:33
Speaker 4: this Wednesday, two days, the 2027 COLA will be announced
4:38
Speaker 4: on the 14th. It looks like 3.5%, 3.6%. So that'll
4:40
Speaker 4: be $ 3. 50 or $ 3. 60 for every $ 136 or $ 35 per thousand,
4:41
Speaker 4: which is one of the larger raises that the COLA
4:44
Speaker 4: has been. But it obviously went up. Heating fuel has
4:59
Speaker 4: doubled in price, and electricity has gone up 100%, which
5:03
Speaker 4: is double. You know, that's a double. Price is 100%.
5:06
Speaker 4: And the kept price of gasoline, you're really falling farther behind.
5:12
Speaker 4: It's nice to get that COLA, but it's not going
5:15
Speaker 4: to begin to cover how expenses have gone up. If
5:18
Speaker 4: it's going up 3% and your heating fuel has gone
5:22
Speaker 4: up 100%, You can see how you're falling behind.
5:25
Speaker 5: Yeah.
5:26
Speaker 2: I mean, like you say, somehow the increases never keep
5:30
Speaker 2: up with the cost. That's interesting. An important period is
5:34
Speaker 2: coming about. Just bear with me here because you bring
5:38
Speaker 2: up some important things. Listen, folks, I say this often.
5:41
Speaker 2: I'm just giving you my thoughts and my opinions. But
5:45
Speaker 2: coming up October 15th through December 7th, October 15th through
5:49
Speaker 2: December 7th, If you're on Medicare, it's the review period
5:55
Speaker 2: that's going on between October 15th and December 7th. It
6:00
Speaker 2: is vital. Particularly this year, it's vital that any of
6:05
Speaker 2: you on Social Security take a look at that review process.
6:11
Speaker 2: As I've said in the past, and I give you
6:14
Speaker 2: my opinion, in my humble opinion, I would never be
6:19
Speaker 2: on anything but standard Medicare. I personally would never be
6:24
Speaker 2: on a Medicare Advantage plan. Medicare Advantage is not Medicare,
6:28
Speaker 2: it's private insurance. that Medicare pays. Unfortunately, many Medicare Advantage
6:34
Speaker 2: plans you see in a country, many of these companies
6:38
Speaker 2: are withdrawing from certain areas and communities. And let me
6:44
Speaker 2: just say this about some Medicare Advantage plans. Like I say,
6:48
Speaker 2: they are withdrawing from some communities. They are raising maximum
6:55
Speaker 2: out-of-pockets expenses. Some from $ 3, 500 to $ 9, 000, I'm led to believe.
7:03
Speaker 2: Some maximum out-of-pocket is going way beyond the $ 3, 500 up
7:07
Speaker 2: to $ 9, 500 or $ 9, 000 if you're in-network, even higher if
7:12
Speaker 2: you're out-of-network. So if I back up and I said
7:15
Speaker 2: this to all of you, all of you that are
7:17
Speaker 2: close to Medicare age and all of you that are
7:20
Speaker 2: on Medicare age, It's a little late if you're on
7:25
Speaker 2: a Medicare Advantage plan. I think if you're on a
7:27
Speaker 2: Medicare Advantage plan, it's very difficult to get back on
7:29
Speaker 2: standard Medicare. If you're on standard Medicare, as I tell everybody,
7:34
Speaker 2: as I would say to the gentleman on the end
7:35
Speaker 2: of my line, on standard Medicare, there are no pre-authorizations.
7:42
Speaker 2: If you're on standard Medicare, you don't have to get
7:44
Speaker 2: pre-approval from an insurance company. You don't have to get
7:48
Speaker 2: pre-approval from your family doctor. to see any specialist. You
7:52
Speaker 2: don't need any of that. On standard Medicare, you don't
7:56
Speaker 2: need pre-approvals. You don't need your doctor's reference. You don't
8:00
Speaker 2: need any of that. And it's good anywhere you go
8:03
Speaker 2: in the country. So it is a great plan. And
8:08
Speaker 2: then you must have what they call supplements because Medicare
8:12
Speaker 2: pays 80%. So to cover the other 20%, you can
8:15
Speaker 2: have what's Now, this is a private insurance plan. It's
8:20
Speaker 2: called Plan G or Plan N. They're regulated through Medicare.
8:24
Speaker 2: And so Medicare says to all the insurance companies, this
8:28
Speaker 2: is what that plan must cover. And you're required to
8:31
Speaker 2: cover that. And despite the fact that they're all the same,
8:36
Speaker 2: some insurance companies charge more than others for it. But,
8:39
Speaker 2: for example, if you're on standard Medicare, as I said,
8:42
Speaker 2: you don't have an HMO or PPO. You don't have
8:45
Speaker 2: to worry about staying in network or getting pre-approvals. None
8:49
Speaker 2: of that applies if you're on standard Medicare. And if
8:53
Speaker 2: you have Plan G, you pay for that out of
8:57
Speaker 2: your checking account. Standard Medicare is like $ 202. 90 a month
9:02
Speaker 2: out of your Social Security check. Your Plan G comes
9:05
Speaker 2: out of your checking account. It could be anywhere from
9:07
Speaker 2: $ 150 to $ 250 or $ 300. And so many people look
9:12
Speaker 2: at that monthly cost because it goes up as you
9:16
Speaker 2: get older. But let me tell you something. It's well
9:20
Speaker 2: worth paying whatever that cost is because once you pay
9:23
Speaker 2: your $ 275 deductible, if you need your Medicare, everything else
9:29
Speaker 2: is totally covered. In other words, there are no further
9:32
Speaker 2: expenses for you. You have a $ 275 deductible on standard Medicare,
9:38
Speaker 2: then everything else is covered. Now, obviously, you have your
9:41
Speaker 2: monthly cost of paying $ 202. 90 for Medicare and the cost
9:44
Speaker 2: of your Plan G. If you're on a Medicare Advantage plan,
9:49
Speaker 2: you've got to get pre-approval, you've got to stay within network, and,
9:53
Speaker 2: of course, you have deductibles that you have to pay.
9:57
Speaker 2: But they entice you by saying, well, you can have.
10:02
Speaker 2: Dental or you can have vision. They throw you all
10:04
Speaker 2: this so-called additional stuff in. But there's a price I
10:08
Speaker 2: believe you pay long term because as you get older,
10:11
Speaker 2: the odds of you getting sick go up dramatically because
10:14
Speaker 2: you're getting older. It's Anybody that's close to Medicare, I
10:19
Speaker 2: highly recommend that you stay on standard Medicare and get
10:24
Speaker 2: a supplement, a plan G or N. And I'm not
10:28
Speaker 2: a fan of Medicare Advantage plans because there's too many rules.
10:32
Speaker 2: There's too many. I was just reading prior to coming
10:36
Speaker 2: on here some of these plans. Carriers are canceling out
10:41
Speaker 2: some communities. And increasing their maximum out-of-pocket, and a lot
10:46
Speaker 2: of people are in it. It's just not good. But
10:48
Speaker 2: with all of that being said, I don't care if
10:50
Speaker 2: you're on standard Medicare or Medicare Advantage. During open enrollment,
10:54
Speaker 2: October 15th through December 7th, you should look at it
10:57
Speaker 2: every single year. You'll get something in the mail that
11:02
Speaker 2: will compare what you're on now and what if you're
11:05
Speaker 2: on a Part D, which is a prescription drug thing.
11:08
Speaker 2: On your standard Medicare, if you have Part D prescription
11:11
Speaker 2: on standard Medicare, you'll get something in the mail that says,
11:14
Speaker 2: here's what you had and here's what it's going to
11:16
Speaker 2: be for next year. Do not throw it away. Look
11:18
Speaker 2: at it. Read it. And look at what the changes
11:22
Speaker 2: are because there will be some minor changes that can
11:25
Speaker 2: happen there as well. So that's something to remember. I'm
11:29
Speaker 2: glad you were the first call in that sense. So
11:32
Speaker 2: keep all of that in mind and be careful. If
11:35
Speaker 2: you're making a decision.
11:36
Speaker 4: Remember, Ron, I like to tell people the difference is
11:40
Speaker 4: standard Medicare is run by the government. Medicare Advantage plans
11:43
Speaker 4: are run by private companies. And the private companies are
11:47
Speaker 4: more likely or no doubt about it, they're run for profit.
11:52
Speaker 2: Correct.
11:53
Speaker 4: They'll deny more. One is a privately run company that
11:58
Speaker 4: Medicare pays them so much a month or so much
12:00
Speaker 4: a year to manage your care. And if they go
12:03
Speaker 4: over that, of course, they're losing money, and if they
12:05
Speaker 4: can deny you enough care, then they make money. So
12:08
Speaker 4: that's a big event. One is government, and one is
12:11
Speaker 4: private enterprise.
12:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean, I've just been given great guidance
12:17
Speaker 2: over many, many years. I've interviewed a lot of people
12:20
Speaker 2: from Social Security. I've interviewed... A lot of people about this,
12:23
Speaker 2: but from my wife being in the medical field, my
12:26
Speaker 2: brother being in the medical field, many of the doctors.
12:31
Speaker 2: I mean, I was advised long before I reached Medicare
12:35
Speaker 2: age to get on standard Medicare and never get on
12:38
Speaker 2: a Medicare Advantage plan. You have a budget.
12:40
Speaker 4: 20 more years to worry before you have to worry
12:43
Speaker 4: about it.
12:44
Speaker 2: No, no, no. I'm old. I'm on Medicare right now,
12:47
Speaker 2: as a matter of fact.
12:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, congratulations. And Part B, one good thing, may
12:52
Speaker 4: be a good thing. Part B is not expected to
12:55
Speaker 4: go up quite as much as it has in years past.
12:57
Speaker 4: Like you say, that 209. Don't forget, that's income dependent also.
13:03
Speaker 4: If you're in a higher income bracket, That 209 can
13:07
Speaker 4: easily jump up to $ 350, $ 400, if you're making.
13:11
Speaker 5: The big bucks.
13:11
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
13:12
Speaker 2: I do.
13:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, that depends on your income. So that $ 3. 5, $ 3. 6,
13:18
Speaker 4: that'll be on your gross income. That's Social Security, not
13:23
Speaker 4: the net, not what you take home. It's on the
13:25
Speaker 4: gross amount. But again, there's federal tax that will come
13:28
Speaker 4: out of that. And whatever the Medicare Part B goes up,
13:32
Speaker 4: Standard Medicare, as you know, does not have dental eye
13:36
Speaker 4: or prescription. That's where you have to get into those supplements.
13:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you choose. I mean, you can always pay
13:42
Speaker 2: for the dentist out of your own pocket, or you
13:43
Speaker 2: can get a dental plan. Or you can get a
13:47
Speaker 2: prescription or not. Well, if you're on standard Medicare, you
13:51
Speaker 2: must have a supplement to cover the 20% Plan N
13:55
Speaker 2: or Plan G. Either one's good. Minor deductibles on Plan N.
14:00
Speaker 2: Like if you go with Plan N, I think you
14:03
Speaker 2: pay $ 25 deductible going to the doctor and a $ 50
14:08
Speaker 2: deductible for going to the emergency room. They're very minimal.
14:11
Speaker 2: You don't have those at all with Plan G. Obviously,
14:13
Speaker 2: Plan G's more expensive. But these are not Medicare Advantage plans.
14:19
Speaker 4: Medicare is a good program all the way around, standard Medicare.
14:22
Speaker 4: I'm a firm believer in it. It's a good program.
14:26
Speaker 4: So again, my friends that are on Social Security, 3.5,
14:30
Speaker 4: 3.6 come Wednesday, we'll find out. It's not going to
14:33
Speaker 4: make you rich. It doesn't keep you actually up to
14:36
Speaker 4: what's going on. When things increase by 75 or 100 percent,
14:40
Speaker 4: you can see where the problem is.
14:42
Speaker 2: Better than nothing, as they say.
14:44
Speaker 4: It's a It's... Yeah, we keep an eye on it.
14:48
Speaker 4: Sometimes the politicians want to change the index to a different...
14:53
Speaker 4: I forget what they call it. They have a certain
14:55
Speaker 4: formula now to call it what it costs a living.
14:57
Speaker 4: But anyone who wants to index that, which means it
15:00
Speaker 4: would be less, or anyone who wants to raise the
15:03
Speaker 4: age of Social Security... or the amount of the benefits,
15:07
Speaker 4: I'm not voting for him, Ron. Republican, Democrat, Martian, I
15:10
Speaker 4: don't care.
15:11
Speaker 2: I'm in agreement. The age was raised once, obviously. You know,
15:16
Speaker 2: you can still take Social Security at 62, but your
15:19
Speaker 2: full retirement age has been changed to 67.
15:20
Speaker 6: But.
15:24
Speaker 2: I am totally opposed to changing. If you take Social
15:26
Speaker 2: Security at 62, you take a huge hit versus if
15:30
Speaker 2: you take it at 65. If I'm doling out advice
15:34
Speaker 2: to anybody, of course, it depends on your health and
15:37
Speaker 2: what you do and everything. The reality is I would
15:40
Speaker 2: never take Social Security until I was eligible for Medicare
15:43
Speaker 2: because health insurance is very costly. And once you hit 65,
15:48
Speaker 2: you could take your Social Security then if you decide
15:51
Speaker 2: to stop working. If you continue to work, I wouldn't
15:55
Speaker 2: take it until you're 66, because the final year, you
15:58
Speaker 2: can make up to $ 65, 000 before any penalties kick in.
16:02
Speaker 2: And then a penalty, instead of being $ 1 for every two,
16:05
Speaker 2: is $ 1 for every three you go over. So the
16:08
Speaker 2: penalty is much less of a penalty. You get it
16:10
Speaker 2: all back in time anyway.
16:12
Speaker 4: And Social Security, it was meant as a supplement. God
16:15
Speaker 4: bless you. I have a military pension, so that's one thing,
16:18
Speaker 4: and I have some medical coverage. But if you only
16:21
Speaker 4: have Social Security... It's a rough, rough, rough road ahead
16:24
Speaker 4: of you. You're not going to live very well. It's
16:26
Speaker 4: going to be a struggle. Unfortunately, a lot of people
16:31
Speaker 4: don't get ready for the future. But it was meant
16:33
Speaker 4: as a supplement. And I think about 50% of the
16:37
Speaker 4: nation now, that's their sole income for retirement.
16:39
Speaker 2: If not more than that, what troubles me is about 65%
16:43
Speaker 2: of the people are on Medicare Advantage, which I think
16:46
Speaker 2: is a big mistake. But one other thing when you're
16:49
Speaker 2: talking about people on Social Security, and I talk about
16:51
Speaker 2: it all the time. Bear with me for one minute.
16:53
Speaker 2: Hang on one second, all right? I always find this
16:55
Speaker 2: guy an interesting guy. I'm going to come back and
16:57
Speaker 2: wrap up my conversation with him. But I think he
17:00
Speaker 2: gives some great advice and great heads up. I'll be
17:02
Speaker 2: right back.
17:05
Speaker 8: Mike Rowe here with a random fact. More than half
17:08
Speaker 8: of the homes that have basements in North America will
17:11
Speaker 8: experience water damage.
17:12

17:13
Speaker 8: Whether it's basement moisture, flooding, or bowing walls, do yourself
17:17
Speaker 8: a favor. Call Groundworks. I spent some time working with
17:20

18:05
Speaker 1: News Radio 570 WKBN.
18:09
Speaker 2: Let me go back here. But you always bring up
18:13
Speaker 2: a lot of great points that people should know as
18:16
Speaker 2: far as the cost of living, Nicola. And And it
18:23
Speaker 2: doesn't keep up with inflation. How many times have I
18:26
Speaker 2: spoken about, which is, this is a reality, as people
18:29
Speaker 2: go out and vote on these levies. And, you know,
18:31
Speaker 2: many of these people, as I say, they think they're
18:33
Speaker 2: better members of the community because they support some additional
18:36
Speaker 2: property tax levy. And in my opinion, I'm not here to, listen,
18:41
Speaker 2: I say save your powder on a lot of these
18:43
Speaker 2: property tax levies and you should support your police and
18:46
Speaker 2: your fire and your ambulance. I mean, that's, but the
18:50
Speaker 2: rest of it's, is just not a good thing at
18:55
Speaker 2: this time. As I say, you're making it difficult for
18:57
Speaker 2: younger people to buy a home. You don't know the
18:59
Speaker 2: damage you're doing. as far as the ability for younger
19:02
Speaker 2: people to be able to afford to buy a home,
19:04
Speaker 2: because the burden of property taxes and how much of
19:06
Speaker 2: a monthly expense that is, in addition to the cost
19:09
Speaker 2: of the home and the payment, you're making it hard.
19:11
Speaker 4: At my age, I hear a lot of talk about, well,
19:15
Speaker 4: Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. I'd rather save it
19:18
Speaker 4: for myself. I'm a strong believer in Social Security. In
19:22
Speaker 4: a way, too many people, even at my age, have
19:25
Speaker 4: never put a nickel aside, let alone save for Social Security. And,
19:30
Speaker 4: you know what, maybe you're not making enough money. How
19:34
Speaker 4: much are you going to put aside? So I'm a
19:37
Speaker 4: strong believer in Social Security. A lot of people are not.
19:40
Speaker 4: They want that.
19:40
Speaker 3: Money for themselves.
19:41
Speaker 2: I'm 100% with you.
19:42
Speaker 4: They can't save a dollar for themselves.
19:44
Speaker 2: Well, you take a look at any of these surveys
19:46
Speaker 2: which say people don't have $ 1, 000 saved for a car repair, $ 500.
19:50
Speaker 6: Bucks.
19:50
Speaker 2: So these people would act like they're going to save
19:52
Speaker 2: for their retirement. It's ridiculous. But I agree with you.
19:56
Speaker 2: Social Security is a good program. My point being about
19:58
Speaker 2: these levies that are out there, I go back to say...
20:01
Speaker 2: Not only are you making it difficult for young people
20:02
Speaker 2: to buy a home because of the burden of the
20:04
Speaker 2: monthly cost of property taxes, but you're making it difficult
20:08
Speaker 2: for senior citizens. What do I mean? Let's say, as
20:12
Speaker 2: you pointed out, a husband and wife are both on
20:13
Speaker 2: Social Security and one of them dies. Now your household
20:17
Speaker 2: income is cut in half. and they're literally taxed out
20:22
Speaker 2: of their homes. This is what is happening, and nobody
20:25
Speaker 2: seems to give a damn about that situation or speak
20:29
Speaker 2: about it. It's all about the kids, or it's all
20:33
Speaker 2: about the school, or it's all about this or that. Well,
20:35
Speaker 2: you know what? What about those people? Well, they're just
20:38
Speaker 2: going to have to move. They're just going to have
20:39
Speaker 2: to go to an apartment. I give you.
20:42
Speaker 4: Credit, Ron, because you speak truth to power about that.
20:45
Speaker 4: You're one of the very few people that bring that up.
20:47
Speaker 4: And I give you credit for that in an aye-aye, Captain.
20:50
Speaker 4: And keep an eye out for Wednesday. We'll see what
20:52
Speaker 4: that raise is.
20:53
Speaker 12: Thanks, Ron.
20:54
Speaker 2: Thank you. Report in to me. I appreciate you. You're
20:56
Speaker 2: on the air.
20:58
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, Ron.
20:59
Speaker 13: I'm a firm believer.
21:00
Speaker 3: I'm proud to say I love my Medicare.
21:03
Speaker 2: Standard Medicare?
21:04
Speaker 3: A and B.
21:07
Speaker 13: And I had a really good independent lady that a
21:10
Speaker 13: friend referred me to about four years ago. I'm 68.
21:13
Speaker 13: She just came over, asked what medications I was on,
21:17
Speaker 13: and basically she presented all kinds of options. She didn't
21:20
Speaker 13: tell me which one to take, but she showed me,
21:23
Speaker 13: you go this way if you go that way, and
21:26
Speaker 13: let me make the decision. And I was between a
21:28
Speaker 13: G and an N, and I ended up choosing G.
21:32
Speaker 13: And I got UnitedHealthcare as my supplement, and I'm thrilled
21:37
Speaker 13: to death with it.
21:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're on standard Medicare. That's what I say.
21:42
Speaker 2: I mean, in my opinion, and I can only give
21:44
Speaker 2: you my opinion, And is it based on facts? I
21:48
Speaker 2: believe so. And I also believe it's, you know, like
21:50
Speaker 2: I say, my wife's in the field, my brother's in
21:52
Speaker 2: the field, as far as the medical field. And I
21:57
Speaker 2: would never, standard Medicare is the way to go and
21:59
Speaker 2: a Plan G is the way to go. And granted,
22:02
Speaker 2: as you get older, that plan can cost you more.
22:04
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it won't cost you more, but I
22:06
Speaker 2: don't give a damn if it's $ 300 a month or
22:09
Speaker 2: whatever as you get older. You're going to get sick
22:11
Speaker 2: as you get older and you're going to be glad
22:13
Speaker 2: all those costs are covered.
22:15
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
22:15
Speaker 13: Another thing, what I did find out, I was diagnosed
22:19
Speaker 13: with moderate mild sleep apnea. And so I went and
22:23
Speaker 13: got a dental device made, and it has made a
22:26
Speaker 13: big difference and really helped my health, helped my sleeping.
22:29
Speaker 13: But when I went to the dentist that does this
22:32
Speaker 13: in this area, he asked me, do.
22:33
Speaker 5: You have Medicare?
22:34
Speaker 13: I said, yes, I do, A and B. He goes,
22:36
Speaker 13: do you have standard or the advantage?
22:39
Speaker 3: Standard.
22:40
Speaker 13: It was paid for with my UnitedHealthcare 100%. Now, if
22:44
Speaker 13: it was an advantage, it wasn't going.
22:46
Speaker 3: To cover it. Right.
22:47
Speaker 2: Well, and you're sleeping better then.
22:51
Speaker 13: Yep, I'm sleeping better with it. And like I said,
22:54
Speaker 13: I'm just over my plan. I very rarely, if anything,
22:57
Speaker 13: get a doctor bill from anybody. Usually the deductibles are
23:01
Speaker 13: met so close, the doctors just write the rest of
23:03
Speaker 13: that off.
23:04
Speaker 3: It's like, really? This is great. I wish I had
23:06
Speaker 3: this insurance my whole life.
23:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you've got a $ 275, $ 280 deductible per year.
23:14
Speaker 2: But no networks, no doctor approval, none of that nonsense
23:18
Speaker 2: on standard Medicare.
23:19
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's like I was told by the girl who
23:22
Speaker 13: set me up, if I travel to Florida or I
23:25
Speaker 13: go anywhere out.
23:26
Speaker 3: Of state, You don't know. They may not take your
23:29
Speaker 3: own advantage.
23:29
Speaker 13: They may not accept that advantage where you're at, or
23:32
Speaker 13: you might not be able to see this doctor or
23:33
Speaker 13: that doctor. You're at their whim, not what you need.
23:36
Speaker 1: You got it.
23:38
Speaker 2: Well, you sound pretty sharp to me. You sound like
23:39
Speaker 2: you're a pretty smart old-timer.
23:43
Speaker 3: Thanks, Ron. I'm class of 76.
23:46
Speaker 2: I know it well. We'll be right back.

25:06
Speaker 2: out of the bunker, and he's on location reporting for
25:09
Speaker 2: the program. Here's G2 down somewhere by the Covelli Center. Hello, G2.
25:14
Speaker 5: Hey, Ron, how are you this afternoon?
25:16
Speaker 2: I am doing well. Tell me about what's going on
25:19
Speaker 2: and what's happening.
25:20
Speaker 5: I've got to tell you, man, the crowd is big.
25:23
Speaker 5: People are streaming in. There's a huge amount of excitement.
25:27
Speaker 5: It's like going back to a couple of years ago
25:30
Speaker 5: when the rally tour was full strength all over the country.
25:33
Speaker 5: So it's an exciting time. I'm glad to be here
25:37
Speaker 5: inside Covelli Center watching this crowd build. The stage, of course,
25:41
Speaker 5: is empty. There won't be anybody up there for a
25:43
Speaker 5: couple of hours, but... But the crowd is streaming in.
25:49
Speaker 2: Were you surprised, I don't know what time you arrived,
25:52
Speaker 2: that so many people were already there? I mean, you know,
25:54
Speaker 2: it's a long time between now and they say you'll
25:57
Speaker 2: speak at 6 o'clock if it runs on time. I mean,
25:59
Speaker 2: you've got people supposedly that were there early this morning,
26:02
Speaker 2: and that's a long day.
26:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, there were. I got here initially just before noon
26:08
Speaker 5: and then, you know, to check in. And then I
26:10
Speaker 5: left and came back around 3. So there were people.
26:14
Speaker 5: There was a crowd here this morning. And then, of course,
26:17
Speaker 5: by the time I got back, it was, you know,
26:21
Speaker 5: the line is long. Moving fast, though, but long.
26:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, does it surprise you? I mean, you've got a
26:26
Speaker 2: Monday afternoon. A lot of people are at work and
26:28
Speaker 2: everything that so many people have. Well, of course, it's
26:30
Speaker 2: Columbus Day, so some people are off, right? Isn't it
26:33
Speaker 2: Columbus Day today?
26:35
Speaker 5: It is, but I don't know that. Frankly, I've been traveling,
26:39
Speaker 5: so I'm not sure.
26:39
Speaker 1: What day it is.
26:42
Speaker 2: Just so you know, it's October and it's Monday. I
26:44
Speaker 2: know you've been traveling a lot, but wait a minute.
26:47
Speaker 2: You're in Youngstown, Ohio, and it's a Monday, okay?
26:51
Speaker 10: Thanks.
26:52
Speaker 5: I'm much more grounded now.
26:55
Speaker 2: You're welcome.
26:57
Speaker 5: But the truth is, I think there's so much going
27:00
Speaker 5: on in the country and in the world. People are
27:02
Speaker 5: anxious to... hear what it all means, hear from Trump, and, frankly,
27:08
Speaker 5: to just connect again. Now, on the way here, I
27:11
Speaker 5: also saw a lot of Democrat groups, you know, on
27:16
Speaker 5: street corners at Market Street and whatever that other street
27:20
Speaker 5: is downtown. I can't remember anymore. But there was a
27:24
Speaker 5: big group of people right at the corners. You come
27:26
Speaker 5: across the Market Street Bridge by the courthouse. And, you know,
27:30
Speaker 5: they're over there with the vote blue and stuff. And
27:32
Speaker 5: it was pretty interesting to see how many of them
27:35
Speaker 5: came out. So I think you've got a lot of
27:37
Speaker 5: passion on both sides of the political spectrum right now.
27:41
Speaker 5: And the question is obviously going to come down to
27:43
Speaker 5: what happens Tuesday, Tuesday the 3rd.
27:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is really something. So the typical people that
27:51
Speaker 2: want to stand out there and protest are there doing that.
27:55
Speaker 2: I certainly want a nice crowd, a welcoming crowd for
27:58
Speaker 2: President Trump to come to the community. Incidentally, which he
28:01
Speaker 2: carried Mahoning, Trumbull, and Columbiana counties in the last election.
28:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, which is really remarkable given the history of the town.
28:08
Speaker 5: And I will tell you, driving through town today, one
28:12
Speaker 5: of the things I noticed, which was a little bit
28:14
Speaker 5: dismaying to me, Although I guess, I don't know, I've
28:17
Speaker 5: driven this road for many years, but coming down Market Street,
28:20
Speaker 5: once you cross into really probably Indianola Road into that
28:26
Speaker 5: section of Boardman and then into Youngstown, I was stunned
28:28
Speaker 5: by the number of buildings that are empty or in disrepair.
28:34
Speaker 5: I was surprised because it seems like there's more of that,
28:38
Speaker 5: more small businesses driven out or moving away from that area.
28:42
Speaker 5: And so it makes you wonder, after 70 years or
28:45
Speaker 5: whatever it is of voting, for the policies that make
28:48
Speaker 5: this community more impoverished, weaker, you've got to wonder at
28:52
Speaker 5: what point people change. And then you come and look
28:54
Speaker 5: at this crowd and you say, well, these are the
28:55
Speaker 5: folks that are saying, we've had enough, we want a
28:58
Speaker 5: new direction, and we refuse to let Youngstown and Mahoney
29:02
Speaker 5: Valley sink any further.
29:04
Speaker 3: So it's good.
29:05
Speaker 5: But I will tell you, it is, you know, to say,
29:07
Speaker 5: If you haven't driven in a while and you go
29:09
Speaker 5: drive that from, say, Boardman down into Youngstown, It is
29:14
Speaker 5: a shock to see how many businesses are closed, businesses
29:17
Speaker 5: that were in operation for maybe a century.
29:20
Speaker 2: The interesting thing, like we've talked on a program in
29:24
Speaker 2: the past, is if you're upset because you say, well,
29:27
Speaker 2: gas prices are this and diesel prices are this, okay,
29:30
Speaker 2: they're high. But also keep in mind that if the
29:33
Speaker 2: Democrats take over, they hate fossil fuels. And they make
29:38
Speaker 2: it clear. And they don't want you drilling on federal
29:40
Speaker 2: lands or offshore. If you think your fossil fuel energy
29:45
Speaker 2: costs will be cheaper under Democrats, you're fooling yourself.
29:50
Speaker 5: You really are, and all you have to do is
29:52
Speaker 5: look at California for this. I mean, California, we've talked
29:54
Speaker 5: about it several times, they've been reducing the availability of
29:58
Speaker 5: refining capacity just simply by heaping on regulations and taxes
30:02
Speaker 5: and burdens that have driven refineries out of the state
30:06
Speaker 5: or caused them to shut down. They're still there, obviously,
30:08
Speaker 5: they just don't pick up and leave, but they're idle
30:10
Speaker 5: or converting them to biofuels, which really don't help quite
30:15
Speaker 5: fly your jet plane, right? So now you've got $ 6. 15
30:18
Speaker 5: gas refining out in California. Can you imagine if those
30:23
Speaker 5: policies that have been implemented in California were, in fact,
30:25
Speaker 5: taken nationwide? We'd have $ 7, $ 8 gas by now. It
30:29
Speaker 5: would be a disaster. Now you look at what Trump
30:32
Speaker 5: has done with Venezuela. That really sets us up for
30:34
Speaker 5: a long-term win on the energy front, right? A win
30:38
Speaker 5: that was going to China. He's now captured for the U.S.
30:41
Speaker 5: And look, it's war, like it or not. So there's
30:44
Speaker 5: some really good long-term plays coming here. The problem is,
30:48
Speaker 5: of course... We see the bill we pay every time
30:50
Speaker 5: we pull up to the pump, and that's what's causing
30:53
Speaker 5: people to have such an emotional reaction.
30:56
Speaker 2: I know you've been talking with Greg Bovino. People would
31:00
Speaker 2: know him to see him. They might not recognize his name,
31:03
Speaker 2: but they would know him if they would see him.
31:04
Speaker 2: He was with the Border Patrol and the main spokesperson
31:08
Speaker 2: for the Border Patrol. Tell me about the conversations with
31:11
Speaker 2: the Bovino and what your thoughts were.
31:15
Speaker 5: I've got to tell you, this guy is just a solid...
31:18
Speaker 5: He's exactly who you want on the front lines defending
31:21
Speaker 5: your country. And he understands what's going on. He understands
31:25
Speaker 5: the whole story. Everything... I'll tell you what the conversation
31:28
Speaker 5: was with him. Everything we talked about from trafficking children
31:31
Speaker 5: to fentanyl to the importation of labor, every single thing
31:35
Speaker 5: we talked about about the border over these last five years,
31:39
Speaker 5: he confirmed. And we got into child trafficking a little bit.
31:42
Speaker 5: And I'm telling you, I don't want to talk about
31:43
Speaker 5: it now because, you know, it's too much.
31:47
Speaker 3: But.
31:48
Speaker 5: It is distressing to know that what we were saying
31:53
Speaker 5: on the radio three, four, five years ago was true.
31:58
Speaker 5: And hearing his frontline story, it's unnerving. But at the
32:02
Speaker 5: same time, look, it's war, and we have to recognize
32:05
Speaker 5: that we're here to defend this country. We either save
32:08
Speaker 5: this thing or lose it. And, you know, a big
32:10
Speaker 5: part of the attack on the country was throwing down
32:13
Speaker 5: the borders, handing the cartels, the franchise to operate those
32:16
Speaker 5: borders down, so they could bring in chemical weapons, labor,
32:19
Speaker 5: and children. Along with, of course, we also talked about
32:23
Speaker 5: the Chinese operatives, like the military people who were brought in.
32:26
Speaker 5: And Bovino saw it all front and center. And, you know,
32:30
Speaker 5: he was effective in fighting it, which is why he
32:32
Speaker 5: was removed.
32:33
Speaker 2: Including people that were coming here from China that, as
32:36
Speaker 2: a wise man once said, you don't come from China
32:38
Speaker 2: unless they allow it.
32:40
Speaker 3: That's right.
32:40
Speaker 5: And the fees. Now, you remember, we were talking about
32:43
Speaker 5: the fees being like $ 20, 000 for the Chinese, maybe $ 2, 000
32:45
Speaker 5: to $ 3, 000 for the Hondurans. That wasn't quite right. The
32:49
Speaker 5: fees for the Chinese, in some cases, were much higher
32:51
Speaker 5: than that. Who could afford to pay that? Chinese oligarchs
32:55
Speaker 5: and the Chinese Communist Party. And that's it. So there
32:58
Speaker 5: is zero question. We talked about Camp China. We talked
33:01
Speaker 5: about the Darien Gap and the path along the Darien
33:05
Speaker 5: Gap where they would put these these Chinese way stations
33:09
Speaker 5: that only the Chinese could use, and it was a
33:11
Speaker 5: steady stream of military-age Chinese operatives. So, you know, when
33:17
Speaker 5: I use the phrase war, I'm not like using that lightly.
33:19
Speaker 5: I'm not being flippant or trying to be provocative or hyperbolic.
33:24
Speaker 5: It is real. When you're bringing tens of thousands of
33:27
Speaker 5: a foreign country's military operatives into your nation, unchecked, with
33:31
Speaker 5: the aid of your government, as we had for four years,
33:34
Speaker 5: that's war. That's an invasion. Let's not kid ourselves because
33:38
Speaker 5: it hasn't yet hit our house or our street or
33:40
Speaker 5: our county. It's an invasion, and it's coming. And I
33:43
Speaker 5: will tell you, if Donald Trump hadn't gotten elected in 2024,
33:46
Speaker 5: the Mahoning Valley would already be transformed. Listen, I see
33:52
Speaker 5: the economic problems in the valley I just talked about.
33:55
Speaker 5: The answer isn't to bring in half of Yemen. The
33:58
Speaker 5: answer isn't to bring in half of Nicaragua. That's not
34:03
Speaker 5: the answer. The answer is to train American workers and
34:05
Speaker 5: put in the policies that make it easier for local
34:09
Speaker 5: and national businesses to locate you.
34:11
Speaker 3: That's the play.
34:13
Speaker 5: All these nonprofits run around spending government money on endless
34:16
Speaker 5: analyses and studies that all seem to come up with
34:18
Speaker 5: the same thing. Help them make money in real estate
34:21
Speaker 5: by bringing in people the government pays for.
34:23
Speaker 13: That's not the answer.
34:24
Speaker 5: The answer is fix the problems that are preventing businesses
34:29
Speaker 5: from thriving. And those problems are national, state, and local.
34:32
Speaker 2: And a lot of times regulation and cutting regulations.
34:36
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I, you know, it's so weird how people,
34:39
Speaker 5: even like adults, have been programmed to think that reducing
34:42
Speaker 5: regulations means somehow the nation's going to be clogged with waste,
34:45
Speaker 5: like India, or is going to be overrun with bad
34:49
Speaker 5: actors like the cartels in Mexico. You know, that's not
34:54
Speaker 5: what it means. What we've done is put on such
34:57
Speaker 5: a regulatory burden that we are strangling the businesses that
35:01
Speaker 5: used to populate that Market Street corridor to the point
35:04
Speaker 5: that that corridor is now basically hollowed out, right? It's
35:08
Speaker 5: a perfect image of what has been the result of
35:11
Speaker 5: 30 years of policy. That's what we see when we
35:14
Speaker 5: drive that Market Street corridor. Now, Trump's had 18 months
35:17
Speaker 5: in the second term, 18 months to turn this around.
35:20
Speaker 5: I don't know how to break it to you. It
35:22
Speaker 5: takes longer than 18 months, especially when the Republicans in
35:25
Speaker 5: Congress refuse to cooperate.
35:28
Speaker 2: You even have people that are upset, saying legally he
35:33
Speaker 2: can't enter into this deal with Russia when it comes
35:35
Speaker 2: to diesel to keep our diesel prices down, and they're
35:38
Speaker 2: trying to prevent that from happening, which would be detrimental
35:41
Speaker 2: to our economy.
35:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know and I know they don't care
35:44
Speaker 5: about the economy. They care about the midterms. And if
35:47
Speaker 5: he is able to strike a deal that brings any
35:50
Speaker 5: relief on the fuel front, then that's going to be
35:53
Speaker 5: a problem for the Democrats. I'll tell you what, it
35:56
Speaker 5: was fascinating. I was driving around the city today, and
35:59
Speaker 5: I saw these billboards with Sherrod Brown on them. And
36:02
Speaker 5: in one of them, I mean, to many people this
36:05
Speaker 5: would be funny, but he's got an ad up talking
36:08
Speaker 5: about inflation and the cost of groceries. Now, that guy
36:11
Speaker 5: sat in Congress for, what, 35 years in the Senate? Yeah.
36:15
Speaker 5: His policies created that problem.
36:18
Speaker 3: And now what?
36:19
Speaker 5: We're going to put him back in? Because I guess
36:21
Speaker 5: the message is, Those prices aren't high enough. We need
36:24
Speaker 5: him back in office to create more inflation and drive
36:26
Speaker 5: them higher.
36:27
Speaker 2: Well, he voted for all this Biden nonsense overwhelmingly. So
36:32
Speaker 2: if you want to go back to the open border
36:34
Speaker 2: and all this nonsense, vote Sherrod Brown. Exactly.
36:39
Speaker 5: That's exactly it. Now, you know, you had a great
36:41
Speaker 5: caller a couple of weeks ago that called in and
36:43
Speaker 5: mentioned when I was on with you, mentioned that he
36:46
Speaker 5: had voted against NAFTA and he voted for Trump's trade deal.
36:50
Speaker 5: So in 35 years, that's two good votes. And I
36:52
Speaker 5: think we should celebrate those two votes. It's the 30
36:55
Speaker 5: years of votes between those two that have been the problem, right?
37:00
Speaker 5: It's all of those policies that resulted in this influx
37:04
Speaker 5: of people and all the problems in our education system.
37:07
Speaker 5: That guy was in Congress for 30 years, and he's
37:10
Speaker 5: now saying, hey, elect me to Congress, this Senate. You know, Congress,
37:13
Speaker 5: as you know, is two chambers. I know people say
37:15
Speaker 5: Congress thing now. He was in the Senate for 30 years.
37:18
Speaker 5: And now he's saying, hey, if you just elect me
37:20
Speaker 5: back to the Senate, I'm going to fix everything I
37:22
Speaker 5: did in three decades of public service. I don't get
37:25
Speaker 5: the logic of that. That said, I'll bet those billboards
37:29
Speaker 5: are effective to people who are just getting that three-second
37:31
Speaker 5: message and not really thinking.
37:33
Speaker 2: I know in addition to talking with Greg Bovino, you
37:38
Speaker 2: were talking with E.J. Antone. How do you say it?
37:42
Speaker 6: E.J.
37:42
Speaker 2: Antone.
37:43
Speaker 5: Antone, yeah.
37:45
Speaker 2: And what's his take on what's going on?
37:48
Speaker 5: You know, the beautiful thing about talking to E.J. is
37:51
Speaker 5: that while he's a Ph.D. in economics, and, you know,
37:53
Speaker 5: he's like, this dude is a smart guy. He can
37:58
Speaker 5: bring things down to a level that all of us
38:00
Speaker 5: can understand it, and that's extremely valuable. Because, as you know,
38:03
Speaker 5: many Ph.D.s just speak in technobabble, not this guy. So
38:07
Speaker 5: we got into this debate about capitalism and communism, or
38:11
Speaker 5: capitalism and socialism. Do we still have a capital system? And, again,
38:15
Speaker 5: here's the problem. When you look at health care, you say,
38:17
Speaker 5: look at our health care costs. People say, well, then
38:19
Speaker 5: we need to go to single-payer, full government control. Well,
38:23
Speaker 5: it turns out the reason we have a problem in
38:25
Speaker 5: health care is because we have too much government in it,
38:27
Speaker 5: not that it's too little government. So the conclusion is,
38:32
Speaker 5: and it's crystal clear, we've lost our capitalist system. We
38:36
Speaker 5: need to get it back. We need to get back
38:38
Speaker 5: a system where you can be prosperous and you can
38:41
Speaker 5: have financial independence if you go out and start a
38:43
Speaker 5: business and are able to be successful, where that isn't
38:45
Speaker 5: just simply... unavailable to you because regulations and government spending
38:50
Speaker 5: decide everything. So it was a great discussion with E.J.,
38:54
Speaker 5: who I have tremendous respect for.
38:58
Speaker 2: Absolutely. All right. As you look around down at the
39:00
Speaker 2: Covelli Center, any of the national media showing up?
39:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, the press deck is full. There are a lot
39:07
Speaker 5: of cameras up there. I've seen Channel 21. I don't
39:11
Speaker 5: know everybody that's here. I know that MS Now is here,
39:14
Speaker 5: hoping for that that clip that they can twist into
39:17
Speaker 5: a nasty comment. So, you know, the Marxists are on site, but,
39:24
Speaker 5: you know, the globalist cabal hard at work. But, yeah,
39:31
Speaker 5: so there's some national media here. The press deck is full, and,
39:36
Speaker 5: you know, it's going to be interesting to see what
39:38
Speaker 5: kind of coverage they bring out of this. This discussion
39:40
Speaker 5: about the Russian and Ukrainian ceasefire on energy infrastructure that–
39:47
Speaker 5: you know, that I'm starting to hear a bunch about.
39:49
Speaker 5: It'll be interesting to see what he says about that tonight.
39:52
Speaker 5: And so I think this is actually going to be
39:55
Speaker 5: a fascinating Trump rally. I mean, there are always a
39:59
Speaker 5: lot of really important issues, but we have so many
40:01
Speaker 5: things right now that are right at the forefront of
40:04
Speaker 5: what's critical. It's going to be an interesting night.
40:08
Speaker 2: I know that I was reading here a Ukraine drone
40:10
Speaker 2: attacks report. targeted at a data center run by yandex
40:16
Speaker 2: i guess that's the russian version of google uh... causing
40:19
Speaker 2: outages across there seems to me ukraine's gone further and
40:22
Speaker 2: further on stuff inside russia seems like an escalation doesn't
40:27
Speaker 2: it well.
40:28
Speaker 5: It is an escalation and here's the thing you know
40:30
Speaker 5: like the targeting the base where the targeting is done
40:33
Speaker 5: to attack russia that's inside nato countries so while ukraine
40:37
Speaker 5: can attack you know when i say ukraine of course
40:40
Speaker 5: it's nato ukraine can attack you know its left foot
40:42
Speaker 5: I don't mean to be dismissive of Ukraine. What's happened
40:45
Speaker 5: to them is tragic, and I find it horrifying. But
40:48
Speaker 5: the truth is it doesn't have the capability to do
40:50
Speaker 5: what it's doing. It is NATO that is doing those things.
40:53
Speaker 5: So when you look at their ability to reach deep into— oh,
40:57
Speaker 5: here's Vivek Ramaswamy coming by.
41:00
Speaker 2: All right. Well, we can't but— go ahead.
41:02
Speaker 5: No, no. But when you look at the ability for
41:05
Speaker 5: them to attack deep inside the— deep inside Russian territory,
41:10
Speaker 5: Russia cannot counterattack because NATO's assets are back inside Poland
41:15
Speaker 5: or other NATO countries in many cases. I mean, they
41:17
Speaker 5: can hit some things in Ukraine, but they can't get
41:19
Speaker 5: back into those NATO countries. So in that way, I
41:23
Speaker 5: think that's one of the reasons why NATO is still
41:25
Speaker 5: keeping the fight going. If it was wholly dependent upon
41:28
Speaker 5: Ukrainian territory, it would be different. But Russia so far
41:32
Speaker 5: has refused to attack those targeting centers and, look, You know,
41:37
Speaker 5: when I talk about NATO, we think NATO's our friend.
41:40
Speaker 5: It's not the friend of the people in Europe. It's
41:42
Speaker 5: not the friend of the American people. It is a
41:44
Speaker 5: globalist-controlled asset that is running this war for them.
41:48
Speaker 2: I tell you what, check in at 4.30 again with
41:51
Speaker 2: another report. Thank you, G2.
41:52
Speaker 5: I'll give you a shout.
41:54
Speaker 6: Bye-bye.
42:02
Speaker 2: At the Covelli Center and with President Trump coming to
42:06
Speaker 2: town at 6 o'clock. So about two hours from now
42:12
Speaker 2: as we approach 4 o'clock here, coming to our neck
42:15
Speaker 2: of the woods at the Covelli Center at 6 o'clock tonight.
42:18
Speaker 2: And to really encourage, obviously, people to vote for John Husted, obviously,
42:26
Speaker 2: and the Republicans. I'm sure Ramaswamy and Husted. will be
42:29
Speaker 2: what he will be talking about. In addition to, what
42:32
Speaker 2: did he say when he started going into this? Basically,
42:35
Speaker 2: he said, listen, I'm not on the ballot. I'm not running,
42:39
Speaker 2: but I'm going to be out there encouraging people to
42:41
Speaker 2: vote for people that can help me get my job done.
42:44
Speaker 2: And that obviously wouldn't be the Democrats. And they say
42:48
Speaker 2: Ohio is one of those states that's in play with
42:50
Speaker 2: Sherrod Brown having a lead over John Husted. They always say, what,
42:55
Speaker 2: Ohio is a red state? And is it? I mean,
42:59
Speaker 2: you'll find this much. You'll find that this community, the
43:03
Speaker 2: one in which we live, the one in which we
43:05
Speaker 2: call home, is one of the most vital communities in
43:09
Speaker 2: the state of Ohio on determining who wins and who loses.
43:14
Speaker 2: It is this community that matters most. And like I
43:19
Speaker 2: say to each and every one of you, The Democrats,
43:23
Speaker 2: they hate fossil fuels and they say it. They're not
43:26
Speaker 2: hiding it. They're against the regulation, put the regulations so
43:30
Speaker 2: that you can't drill on federal lands and offshore. And
43:33
Speaker 2: they just despise fossil fuels. So I don't think your
43:36
Speaker 2: prices are going to get better under them. It'd be
43:38
Speaker 2: worse under them as opposed to. Trump and the Republicans,
43:42
Speaker 2: certainly their energy policies are more favorable for us. Obviously,
43:46
Speaker 2: there's a snag right now with the situation in Ukraine.
43:49
Speaker 2: But as I say to you each and every day
43:51
Speaker 2: on this, I'm not crazy about the Ukraine war, but
43:54
Speaker 2: I don't know what Rubio and what Trump know. I
43:59
Speaker 2: just don't know what those guys know. And they certainly
44:04
Speaker 2: are more in tune with what's going on than the
44:07
Speaker 2: rest of us. We can all have opinions, but that's
44:10
Speaker 2: That's neither here nor there. So anyway, perhaps he'll talk
44:14
Speaker 2: about that and the situation goes on. Where was it?
44:19
Speaker 2: On one of these things that I was reading over
44:21
Speaker 2: the weekends, one of the parents, one of the guys
44:25
Speaker 2: out of Iran was saying that basically they've reached an
44:31
Speaker 2: agreement that there wouldn't be any nuclear weapons in Iran
44:35
Speaker 2: or they– the dust, as they talk all about all
44:41
Speaker 2: the time, to make nuclear weapons. One of the fellows
44:45
Speaker 2: out of Iran said that part has pretty well been negotiated.
44:49
Speaker 2: So it looks like some progress is being made, we
44:52
Speaker 2: can only hope for a change, to reach an agreement,
44:56
Speaker 2: and a good agreement, and then put this to bed
44:59
Speaker 2: and move on. Hopefully that'll be the situation. Comments, we

45:41
Speaker 17: at least 14 people, including one American, wounding hundreds more.

Speaker 19: This comes as Houthi rebels are now issuing a direct
45:48
Speaker 19: warning to foreign airlines against using Saudi airspace or airports
45:53
Speaker 19: inside the kingdom. The strikes against the airport and energy
45:56

46:16

46:20
Speaker 17: is pausing tree-cutting at the historic East Potomac Golf Course
46:23
Speaker 17: in D.C., accusing government lawyers of deceiving the court about
46:27
Speaker 17: ongoing renovations.
46:28
Speaker 20: President Trump has announced plans to convert the public course
46:31
Speaker 20: into a championship-level venue. Hundreds of trees have been removed.
46:35
Speaker 20: Judge Ana Reyes ordered the tree cutting halted for at
46:38
Speaker 20: least 24 hours and threatened to extend the order another
46:42
Speaker 20: two weeks. The judge has previously required a preservationist group
46:46

47:04

48:53
Speaker 1: Good.
48:54
Speaker 2: Your man's coming to town today.
48:56
Speaker 21: Yeah, actually, I'm cooking him dinner. I'm going to see
48:58
Speaker 21: if he'll swing by the house.
49:01
Speaker 2: More than likely, he might be.
49:04
Speaker 21: And see if he's interested. I'm making him a nice
49:07
Speaker 21: steak and baked potato, and I'm hoping he'll swing by.
49:12
Speaker 21: I talked to him a little bit ago, you know, briefly.
49:16
Speaker 3: Did he do it?
49:16
Speaker 21: I know he's a busy guy, but I'm just hoping
49:18
Speaker 21: he'll find the time.
49:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, swing on by J.J. Manor for a steak and
49:23
Speaker 2: a baked potato.
49:25
Speaker 21: Yep, and a Diet Coke. So he's all set. I
49:29
Speaker 21: got everything laid out for him, and we'll see if
49:32
Speaker 21: he wants to swing by.
49:34
Speaker 2: Now, if he would swing by, though, would you put
49:37
Speaker 2: the heat on him saying, listen, I'm more than happy
49:38
Speaker 2: to vote for you and a Republican ticket, but I
49:41
Speaker 2: need guarantees of getting the $ 5, 000 check?
49:45
Speaker 21: Well, I'm hoping to bring his checkbook with him. So
49:47
Speaker 21: that's where I'm, my intentions is to kind of slowly
49:50
Speaker 21: work my way, you know, as, uh, as he's finishing
49:53
Speaker 21: up his plate, you know, I can say, you know,
49:54
Speaker 21: actually I do have a chocolate, a nice slice of
49:57
Speaker 21: chocolate cake, uh, to kind of, uh, you know, finalize everything.
50:03
Speaker 21: So hopefully he'll, um, he'll, uh, he'll pick me up
50:06
Speaker 21: on my offer and, uh, And, you know, he's going
50:08
Speaker 21: to bring, hopefully, a couple of signs I can throw
50:10
Speaker 21: at the front lawn there for the Republicans. And we'll
50:16
Speaker 21: see what happens.
50:17
Speaker 3: I'm trying.
50:18
Speaker 21: I'm trying. I'm working the magic there, Ron. I'm doing
50:21
Speaker 21: the best I can here.
50:25
Speaker 2: You're hoping he'll bring a couple of signs by that
50:28
Speaker 2: you can throw in the front yard.
50:30
Speaker 21: Yeah, so we'll go tuck him in the front lawn there,
50:33
Speaker 21: and I can, he said he was going to also,
50:36
Speaker 21: which I'm, you know, hopefully, because I've lost two of
50:38
Speaker 21: them already, I want that Trump 2028 hat. So I'm
50:42
Speaker 21: hoping he'll bring a little extra, and my wife's not
50:46
Speaker 21: talking to me right now, so she's kind of ready
50:50
Speaker 21: to go.
50:50
Speaker 2: She'll come around a loving J.J. the Trumpster.
50:53
Speaker 21: Yeah, well, we'll see. Hey, listen, one other thing I
50:56
Speaker 21: was wondering, could you put me back on hold? I
50:58
Speaker 21: want to give you some news.
51:00
Speaker 3: Yes.
51:02
Speaker 1: Yes, I can.
51:03
Speaker 2: Yes, I can, but you'll have to.
51:05
Speaker 21: I've got to turn the stake over.
51:07
Speaker 13: Put me on hold.
51:08
Speaker 21: I'll talk to you in a.
51:09
Speaker 2: Little bit, buddy. Yeah, about 423. Just hang on, okay?
51:11
Speaker 2: I'll get back to you. All right. Get back to him.
51:14
Speaker 2: You're on the air.
51:16
Speaker 3: Ronnie.
51:17
Speaker 2: Oh, listen, it's... The unknown caller, folks. The unknown caller.
51:22
Speaker 2: He calls with a bag over his head like the
51:24
Speaker 2: unknown comic.
51:26
Speaker 22: Ron, I'm glad you survived the Hurricane Isaisis, or ABCDFG, whatever.
51:32
Speaker 12: They call it.
51:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's up with those names anymore? Can we go
51:36
Speaker 2: back to just the standard? Remember when they just named
51:38
Speaker 2: the hurricanes after women, and then somehow that had to change, and, well,
51:42
Speaker 2: we've got to name them after women and men. Then
51:45
Speaker 2: it had to be all these crazy names that no
51:46
Speaker 2: one can pronounce. I mean, what, you know, Hurricane Francis,
51:52
Speaker 2: you know, Hurricane Debbie. I mean, what happened to the
51:54
Speaker 2: good old days?
51:56
Speaker 12: Yeah, like men are the problem, right?
51:58
Speaker 1: Exactly.
51:59
Speaker 22: Hey, how about Jose's golf swing Saturday night?
52:06
Speaker 2: Absolutely unbelievable.
52:08
Speaker 3: Right.
52:09
Speaker 2: I mean, he is the heart and soul of, of
52:12
Speaker 2: the guardians. He is just, he's art and soul. And he's,
52:16
Speaker 2: I mean, he just makes all the difference in the world,
52:19
Speaker 2: but I'll tell you something. I was just sweating that
52:21
Speaker 2: whole game out because obviously it was two to two
52:25
Speaker 2: to nothing. And it ended that way because you're just
52:28
Speaker 2: sitting there thinking, man, you're hoping that they could get
52:31
Speaker 2: some insurance runs. Let's put it that way, but not
52:34
Speaker 2: the case.
52:35
Speaker 22: Well, The White Sox had, like, bases loaded, and I
52:41
Speaker 22: don't know, it was like sixth inning or something like that,
52:44
Speaker 22: bases loaded, but then they called a relief pitcher. He
52:47
Speaker 22: got the last out. Yeah, that was a little bit terrifying.
52:52
Speaker 22: My son, I was watching with my son, and he
52:55
Speaker 22: noticed something. He said, why aren't they wearing white socks?
52:59
Speaker 22: They're the White Sox.
53:01
Speaker 12: The guy had black socks on him.
53:04
Speaker 2: I had heard that you're– how old's your son?
53:10
Speaker 12: 39, 38.
53:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand he was watching it with you and
53:13
Speaker 2: the game was getting good. But at some point your
53:15
Speaker 2: son got up and said, Dad, I got to go.
53:18
Speaker 2: Is that true?
53:21
Speaker 3: Yeah.
53:21
Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely.
53:25
Speaker 2: But what a game. I mean, now do you think
53:28
Speaker 2: it's going to be more challenging in this series?
53:32
Speaker 12: Oh, yeah, definitely.
53:33
Speaker 22: I mean, as my son and my son-in-law said, that
53:39
Speaker 22: was our World Series right there.
53:42
Speaker 12: We're not getting past anybody else.
53:45
Speaker 3: But I don't know.
53:46
Speaker 22: Hopefully, I mean, we were down two, came back one,
53:51
Speaker 22: three in a row.
53:52
Speaker 2: Can you believe that, though? I mean, the odds of
53:54
Speaker 2: that are like slim and none, you know? Right. And
53:58
Speaker 2: to be able to pull that off... It was just spectacular.
54:03
Speaker 2: But now Tampa Bay is a pretty good team. But
54:07
Speaker 2: anything is possible. That's the great thing about watching sports.
54:11
Speaker 2: I mean, even with the Browns' defeat on Sunday, you
54:14
Speaker 2: still could sit there thinking up until things kind of
54:20
Speaker 2: went south due to the weather that they could pull
54:23
Speaker 2: it out. But, I mean, what a weekend. I mean, YSU, man,
54:28
Speaker 2: what a killing they did. I mean, just a huge
54:30
Speaker 2: win for them. And then you had the Guardians win
54:32
Speaker 2: that series. And I think everybody was surprised, like you said,
54:35
Speaker 2: because you were down 2-0, and you came back from that.
54:39
Speaker 2: That's just incredible. And then the Browns, well, everyone's playing
54:46
Speaker 2: in the same weather.
54:47
Speaker 12: There's always next year with the Browns, right?
54:49
Speaker 2: No, I'm not throwing a towel in yet. I'm not yet.
54:54
Speaker 22: I didn't think they'd have three wins at this point.
54:57
Speaker 12: But, hey....
54:59
Speaker 22: You'd ask G2 if the room is filled with people
55:05
Speaker 22: wearing Trump King crowns. You know, that'd be cool if
55:09
Speaker 22: everybody wore a crown.
55:10
Speaker 2: Like from Burger King.
55:13
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah.
55:14
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, exactly.
55:16
Speaker 22: Hey, yeah, the guy that, you know, went to the
55:18
Speaker 22: New King, was he going to be one of your
55:21
Speaker 22: cub reporters, too, or no?
55:24
Speaker 6: Well.
55:25
Speaker 2: We had to reassess that situation. Just G2 came out
55:33
Speaker 2: of the bunker. He traveled from a distant area and
55:39
Speaker 2: is doing the coverage live from the Covelli Center for
55:42
Speaker 2: us today.
55:44
Speaker 22: So if you see somebody like a seven-foot ghillie suit guy,
55:50
Speaker 22: that's him?
55:51
Speaker 2: Well, in that case, it might be somebody in a
55:53
Speaker 2: Secret Service. But I suspect you would see somebody formally
56:01
Speaker 2: dressed if I had to make a bet. I think
56:04
Speaker 2: you would see somebody more than likely in a sports
56:07
Speaker 2: coat and dress pants.
56:11
Speaker 22: Hey, I want to get back to the Krista Pike thing.
56:16
Speaker 22: The woman, you know, that.
56:20
Speaker 6: Her.
56:21
Speaker 12: Execution didn't go well?
56:23
Speaker 13: Yes.
56:24
Speaker 12: Why didn't they just bleed out?
56:26
Speaker 22: Did you ever hear why she's in jail? Nobody reports it.
56:32
Speaker 2: She did a brutal murder.
56:35
Speaker 22: Yeah, she dragged her and her boyfriend, lured some woman
56:39
Speaker 22: into the woods, and then.
56:42
Speaker 12: They tortured her.
56:43
Speaker 22: They carved a pentagram or something into her chest, and
56:48
Speaker 22: then Krista.
56:52
Speaker 22: Beat her to death with a rock, smashed her skull
56:55
Speaker 22: with a rock.
56:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, think how painful.
56:58
Speaker 3: Yeah.
56:59
Speaker 22: But, I mean, they didn't report that. This is news.
57:02
Speaker 22: Why don't they report the heinous crime that she committed? Plus,
57:06
Speaker 22: I heard that she also killed someone else while she
57:09
Speaker 22: was in jail. And just let her bleed out at
57:12
Speaker 22: that time, you know?
57:14
Speaker 2: You know, I'm with you 100%. I don't sit around
57:18
Speaker 2: with a lot of sympathy for her surviving this– The
57:23
Speaker 2: first thing is, when we're talking about getting these drugs
57:26
Speaker 2: and everything, why don't we just give them an overdose
57:28
Speaker 2: like happens on the street? I mean, why don't we
57:31
Speaker 2: just get the good old-fashioned street drugs and let them
57:34
Speaker 2: OD as you would on the street with some fentanyl
57:38
Speaker 2: and that kind of stuff and be done with this stuff?
57:41
Speaker 2: I mean, the fact that she survived this is deeply
57:44
Speaker 2: disturbing to me. I mean, it's just... It's bizarre. Did
57:48
Speaker 2: you see over the, well, the last couple days ago,
57:52
Speaker 2: imagine this, folks. In my community of Austintown Township, you
57:57
Speaker 2: had an adult son stab to death his father. Did
58:06
Speaker 2: you see this news story? I mean, it's hard to
58:09
Speaker 2: fathom the.
58:14
Speaker 2: Father, they lived in Yorktown, and the kid went over
58:18
Speaker 2: and stabbed his father in a brutal murder to death.
58:24
Speaker 2: Stabbed him to death. You're his son. What the hell
58:27
Speaker 2: is going on there?
58:28
Speaker 9: Right.
58:30
Speaker 22: I mean, you know, was it something he learned in school?
58:34
Speaker 12: You know, something he was taught in school?
58:36
Speaker 2: This wasn't a young kid. You know, this was an
58:39
Speaker 2: adult male. But I'm sitting back thinking, this is your father.
58:45
Speaker 2: This is your father that put a roof over you,
58:48
Speaker 2: paid the bills and all that kind of stuff when
58:50
Speaker 2: you were a little kid, and you're stabbing. I don't
58:55
Speaker 2: know what to make of something like that. I don't know. Obviously,
58:58
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I would like to know
59:01
Speaker 2: what exactly was your motive. I mean, are you hooked
59:04
Speaker 2: on drugs? Are you stoned? Are you high? Are you,
59:08
Speaker 2: obviously you got some type of psychological issue because how
59:11
Speaker 2: can anybody in their right mind do such a thing?
59:13
Speaker 2: I mean, what a brutal murder he committed of his
59:16
Speaker 2: own father. Then goes down to St. He's covered in
59:19
Speaker 2: blood and basically admits what he did. So the father's
59:23
Speaker 2: dead and the son's going to be locked up in
59:26
Speaker 2: jail for now. What was the point? Did you follow
59:31
Speaker 2: that at all? I mean, it is a brutal murder.
59:34
Speaker 2: But that's the part of me, Unknown Caller, that I
59:37
Speaker 2: always say. And I'm glad you brought it up. It's
59:41
Speaker 2: like some of these people, the murders that they do
59:44
Speaker 2: are so painful and so brutal. I'm not going to
59:47
Speaker 2: have sympathy. The dark side of me says, let's put
59:50
Speaker 2: them to death how they did their victim. Let's do
59:55
Speaker 2: the same thing to them that they did to the
59:58
Speaker 2: to the victim that they did, like when that guy
1:00:00
Speaker 2: cut that woman's throat on the subway and she was
1:00:04
Speaker 2: from the Ukraine and she was bleeding to death. Well,
1:00:07
Speaker 2: let's sentence him to death and do the same thing
1:00:09
Speaker 2: so he knows the living hell she went through as
1:00:11
Speaker 2: her blood pumped out of her body. Or let's take
1:00:13
Speaker 2: this woman that survived the death penalty and let's beat
1:00:17
Speaker 2: her to death with a rock like she did her
1:00:19
Speaker 2: victim so that these people understand what they've done. I mean,
1:00:23
Speaker 2: I have zero sympathy for I mean, if.
1:00:26
Speaker 22: The execution doesn't go right and it takes three days, well,
1:00:30
Speaker 22: it takes three days. You killed somebody brutally, and this
1:00:35
Speaker 22: is the way you're dying.
1:00:36
Speaker 12: I'm sorry.
1:00:37
Speaker 2: Right, and they suffered tremendously on how you killed them.
1:00:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
1:00:44
Speaker 12: How about Ilhan Omar?
1:00:48
Speaker 2: I couldn't be happier. Can you?
1:00:50
Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
1:00:51
Speaker 8: I know.
1:00:51
Speaker 22: Well, it's just.
1:00:55
Speaker 2: I could not be... Just explain to our people. Oh,
1:00:58
Speaker 2: of course, it's political. Everything with her is political. But
1:01:04
Speaker 2: just so people know, you've got Ilhan Omar responds after
1:01:09
Speaker 2: feds descend on a D.C. home. I'm in immigration fraud investigation. And,
1:01:14
Speaker 2: of course.
1:01:17
Speaker 2: It's just, it's all political.
1:01:19
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
1:01:22
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's, you know what I think
1:01:24
Speaker 2: it is? Long overdue, don't you?
1:01:28
Speaker 12: Oh, yeah, for sure.
1:01:29
Speaker 22: I mean, and she's running again, I think, for election, like,
1:01:33
Speaker 22: you know, next couple, three weeks or whatever.
1:01:36
Speaker 23: So, yeah.
1:01:40
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:01:41
Speaker 12: Well, two more things, all right?
1:01:43
Speaker 1: Two more things, all right?
1:01:45
Speaker 22: Probably like a month ago, some sweet lady called in
1:01:48
Speaker 22: and the line went dead, and immediately you said, call
1:01:52
Speaker 22: me back. But she's not going to know that you
1:01:56
Speaker 22: said that. You've got to give her a couple minutes
1:01:59
Speaker 22: to get back to the radio and then say, hey,
1:02:03
Speaker 22: by the way, I'm sorry I hung up on you.
1:02:05
Speaker 5: Call me back.
1:02:07
Speaker 22: Have some, you know, I don't know.
1:02:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, actually, that's a good point because you're saying we
1:02:14
Speaker 2: should have to turn the radio back up to hear that.
1:02:17
Speaker 3: Right.
1:02:19
Speaker 12: Hey, one more thing, Ronnie.
1:02:20
Speaker 2: What could that be?
1:02:21
Speaker 3: What?
1:02:23
Speaker 2: What did you say?
1:02:23
Speaker 5: I got to go.
1:02:24
Speaker 3: What?
1:02:24
Speaker 5: I got to go.
1:02:25
Speaker 3: What?
1:02:25
Speaker 12: I said I got to go.
1:02:27
Speaker 2: Where you got to go?
1:02:27
Speaker 22: I said you need new hearing aid batteries.
1:02:32
Speaker 12: I got to go.
1:02:33
Speaker 2: He's always got to go. Where's he got to go?
1:02:36
Speaker 2: He calls the program, he's making good points, and he's
1:02:38
Speaker 2: always got to go. What does he got to go do?
1:02:41
Speaker 2: I got to go. Go do what? What's so important
1:02:44
Speaker 2: that you got to go all the time? I just
1:02:47
Speaker 2: don't understand it. The home of Representative Ilhan Omar was
1:02:52
Speaker 2: raided early Monday morning by Homeland Security. Multiple federal agents
1:02:59
Speaker 2: with HSI jackets— that' s Homeland Security— were seen outside Omar's Washington, D.C.
1:03:04
Speaker 2: home in the early hours of Monday. Two sources close
1:03:07
Speaker 2: to the investigation say the search stems from a criminal
1:03:11
Speaker 2: fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman's immigration paperwork, which was
1:03:17
Speaker 2: filled out by her late father when she was a child.
1:03:20
Speaker 2: Omar responded to the raid on X, slamming it as
1:03:23
Speaker 2: a way for President Trump to target political enemies with
1:03:27
Speaker 2: baseless lies and insisted, I will not be silenced. The
1:03:31
Speaker 2: raid of the Somalian-born congresswoman's home started around 6 a.m.
1:03:34
Speaker 2: with HSI and Department of Homeland Security leading the operation.
1:03:39
Speaker 2: Today in Washington, D.C. area, Homeland Security investigations executed a
1:03:43
Speaker 2: judicially authorized search warrant secured by DOJ. This enforcement action
1:03:49
Speaker 2: is part of an ongoing federal investigation. The DOJ later
1:03:52
Speaker 2: added that the investigation was criminal in nature. HSI is
1:03:58
Speaker 2: a principal investigative arm of DHS. Its scope includes investigating
1:04:02
Speaker 2: cross-border crime and global threats, including human trafficking and child
1:04:07
Speaker 2: sexual exploitation, drug smuggling, and cybercrime. HSI plays a major
1:04:13
Speaker 2: frontline role in America's counterterrorism operations. Spokesperson for Omar did
1:04:18
Speaker 2: not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comments. The
1:04:22
Speaker 2: White House and DHS spokesperson declined to provide comments. I'm okay, Omar. Oh,
1:04:28
Speaker 2: thank God. Omar wrote, she's okay on X. Make no mistake,
1:04:32
Speaker 2: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize
1:04:37
Speaker 2: the federal law enforcement. If anybody's been weaponized by federal
1:04:40
Speaker 2: law enforcement, it's been Trump for 10 years. Trump has
1:04:42
Speaker 2: targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is
1:04:45
Speaker 2: just the latest in his campaign of political intimidation. I
1:04:49
Speaker 2: will not be silenced. In opposed to former government X accounts.
1:04:54
Speaker 2: Just after 1.30 p.m., Omar elaborated, this raid by Trump's
1:04:58
Speaker 2: DHS is an outrageous abuse of power. Okay, supposedly, she says.
1:05:03
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Targeting political enemies. What else
1:05:13
Speaker 2: is she saying? President Trump borders are, Tom. Holman said
1:05:17
Speaker 2: in mid-September that the progressive congresswoman was subject to an
1:05:20
Speaker 2: ongoing criminal investigation, but did not specify the nature of
1:05:24
Speaker 2: the probe. She's been under fire for months and forced
1:05:28
Speaker 2: controversies during her time in Congress. Wonder where this will head.
1:05:31
Speaker 2: Should be interesting. Hi there, this is Dan Rivers for
1:05:37
Speaker 2: San Pinsulo Homes and Remodeling. There you go, Ron Furb,
1:05:41
Speaker 2: NewsRadio 570 WKBN, and you're on the air.
1:05:47
Speaker 24: Hey, Ron.
1:05:47
Speaker 5: How you doing?
1:05:48
Speaker 2: Oh, it's Emmanuel. I thought you'd be down at the
1:05:50
Speaker 2: Trump rally.
1:05:52
Speaker 25: I don't think about going, but there's something. I've been
1:05:55
Speaker 25: wanting to talk to you guys for a long time, right?
1:05:59
Speaker 25: And to explain to you guys just why nobody listens
1:06:01
Speaker 25: to what you say and why everybody thinks you guys
1:06:05
Speaker 25: are crazy and why nobody wants you to come to
1:06:07
Speaker 25: their cookouts, their family meetings, or nothing.
1:06:09
Speaker 5: I'm going to tell you why.
1:06:10
Speaker 12: It's plain and simple, Ron.
1:06:12
Speaker 2: Okay.
1:06:12
Speaker 25: I'm going to tell you why you guys are totally,
1:06:15
Speaker 25: totally crazy.
1:06:16
Speaker 5: Totally insane.
1:06:19
Speaker 25: Ron, now all the people that are going down there,
1:06:22
Speaker 25: and I'm going to ask G2 next time I get
1:06:24
Speaker 25: a chance to talk to him, right? All you got
1:06:27
Speaker 25: to do is look at our president from behind and
1:06:29
Speaker 25: see that this man is wearing a diaper. Now, you
1:06:32
Speaker 25: can't sit up there and tell me he's not wearing
1:06:33
Speaker 25: a diaper. Now, if Biden was wearing a diaper, what
1:06:36
Speaker 25: would y'all be saying?
1:06:38
Speaker 2: Why do you think he's wearing a diaper?
1:06:41
Speaker 25: Well, if you can't see it, Ron, then that's just
1:06:43
Speaker 25: that Trump derangement syndrome you guys get.
1:06:45
Speaker 3: All you got to do is look at him and see.
1:06:47
Speaker 5: The man's wearing a diaper.
1:06:49
Speaker 3: It's not hard to see, Ron, but you guys are
1:06:52
Speaker 3: so caught up.
1:06:54
Speaker 25: In what's going on, being a Trump this and Trump.
1:06:56
Speaker 3: That, and he's so tough, he's this and he's that.
1:06:58
Speaker 25: There's nothing wrong with wearing a defense or a diaper, Ron.
1:07:01
Speaker 3: People wear diapers.
1:07:02
Speaker 25: There's probably a person listening to you right now that's
1:07:05
Speaker 25: wearing a diaper.
1:07:07
Speaker 2: How do I know you're not wearing one?
1:07:11
Speaker 5: All you got to do is ask my girl. You
1:07:13
Speaker 5: hear what I'm saying? That's all you got to do.
1:07:16
Speaker 25: And you've seen me. You've seen me from behind, right?
1:07:19
Speaker 25: You've seen me from all different directions. Everybody, trust me, Ron,
1:07:23
Speaker 25: if Emmanuel was wearing a diaper, it would be, you're.
1:07:25
Speaker 3: Talking about, people would be listening to you.
1:07:27
Speaker 25: You let him get out that Emmanuel's wearing a diaper.
1:07:29
Speaker 5: I won't be able to go nowhere.
1:07:32
Speaker 25: But I'm telling you right now, Ron, you don't believe
1:07:34
Speaker 25: a man's wearing a diaper?
1:07:36
Speaker 2: No, I do not.
1:07:37
Speaker 3: Have you looked at him to see?
1:07:39
Speaker 2: Yes, I have. I have not. I don't believe he's
1:07:42
Speaker 2: wearing a diaper. What I find very interesting is you
1:07:45
Speaker 2: make all these observations about. Oh, you hung up on me.
1:07:49
Speaker 2: I was going to say you make all these observations, Emanuel,
1:07:52
Speaker 2: about Trump. But you never said a peep about Biden
1:07:55
Speaker 2: when he was couldn't figure out what up, down, left, right.
1:07:59
Speaker 2: Didn't have any cabinet meetings for a year. Didn't hold
1:08:02
Speaker 2: press conferences. Was clearly confused. And was hidden from the public.
1:08:08
Speaker 2: And you were lied to by your party on how
1:08:11
Speaker 2: he's sharp as a tack. You didn't say a damn
1:08:13
Speaker 2: thing then when we know we had a guy that
1:08:16
Speaker 2: was not paying attention. But when it comes to Trump,
1:08:21
Speaker 2: somehow it's all different. I forgot to pick up on
1:08:23
Speaker 2: JJ during that break. I'm going to have to get
1:08:26
Speaker 2: that at 4.30. You're on the.
1:08:29
Speaker 5: Air.
1:08:31
Speaker 2: It's the guru from Gerard.
1:08:34
Speaker 23: Yeah, that's some advice. So I actually think it might
1:08:36
Speaker 23: be kind of smart if Trump is wearing a diaper. Because,
1:08:41
Speaker 23: I mean, if he's sitting there giving a speech and
1:08:43
Speaker 23: he pees his pants in front of everybody, he might
1:08:45
Speaker 23: not look very good.
1:08:45
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
1:08:46
Speaker 23: So he's just using.
1:08:48
Speaker 2: Tools, you know? Now, perhaps you should have one on
1:08:53
Speaker 2: as a professor when you're lecturing a class and you
1:08:56
Speaker 2: let loose.
1:08:57
Speaker 24: Oh, babe.
1:09:00
Speaker 23: That's so cute.
1:09:02
Speaker 2: Well, if you think it's okay for Trump, it must
1:09:04
Speaker 2: be okay for you.
1:09:05
Speaker 23: I'm saying I got him. How many times did you
1:09:10
Speaker 23: get up during the night?
1:09:13
Speaker 2: Fifty-seven.
1:09:16
Speaker 23: Come on, seriously.
1:09:17
Speaker 5: Is it three, four?
1:09:19
Speaker 2: No, it's not three or four.
1:09:20
Speaker 23: Oh, it is for me. And I'm like 60-something. So
1:09:25
Speaker 23: Trump is almost 80-something. You've got to wear a diaper
1:09:29
Speaker 23: or whatever, man.
1:09:30
Speaker 2: You must never get a good night's sleep, then, if
1:09:33
Speaker 2: you're getting up three or four times. You know, it's
1:09:36
Speaker 2: like I said, I don't get up three or four times. Now,
1:09:41
Speaker 2: I realize you do, but like I've said before... I
1:09:46
Speaker 2: said to my doctor, I have a bowel movement every
1:09:49
Speaker 2: morning at 7 o'clock, and he said, that's good. And
1:09:51
Speaker 2: I said, no, I don't get up until 8.30.
1:09:59
Speaker 23: Well, I'll tell you what, though. I feel for G2
1:10:02
Speaker 23: because I'm not a Trump hater, I'm not a Trump lover,
1:10:05
Speaker 23: but I make it through by just never really watching him.
1:10:08
Speaker 23: I just watch what he does and watching him really seriously.
1:10:14
Speaker 12: It hurts me.
1:10:14
Speaker 23: But these people crack me up, man. They really do.
1:10:16
Speaker 23: Like all these people that I know, you know.
1:10:18
Speaker 5: They hate it.
1:10:18
Speaker 23: They can't give it up. And they're like, I'm going
1:10:21
Speaker 23: to go buy a bunch of tickets and not go.
1:10:23
Speaker 23: You know, like they're going to use up Trump's tickets
1:10:26
Speaker 23: or something.
1:10:29
Speaker 2: I don't think you buy it. I think they're free.
1:10:32
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:10:32
Speaker 23: Well, they're still they're asking like for a bunch of
1:10:34
Speaker 23: tickets and then planning.
1:10:36
Speaker 5: Not to go.
1:10:37
Speaker 2: Well, that's not right because then you're taking away opportunities
1:10:39
Speaker 2: from people who do want to go. I mean, let's
1:10:42
Speaker 2: be realistic. It's a Monday afternoon. I would imagine a
1:10:46
Speaker 2: lot of people are working. Of course, it's not until
1:10:49
Speaker 2: 6 o'clock. Well, what? It's Columbus Day. Can I say
1:10:52
Speaker 2: Columbus Day? Is that still okay to say?
1:10:54
Speaker 25: Well, you know, I don't know.
1:10:56
Speaker 23: Everybody stopped celebrating it.
1:10:58
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not sure.
1:11:00
Speaker 2: Well, you know, this is because of the Biden administration
1:11:03
Speaker 2: where they said, Yeah, it was Indigenous People Day. This
1:11:07
Speaker 2: was the administration was ripping down. Stand by. It's a
1:11:10
Speaker 2: guru from Gerard. It's always making a stellar appearance with
1:11:13
Speaker 2: great insight. I'll get back to you momentarily. Ron Verb
1:11:16
Speaker 2: from the Kingdom of Mahoning as we approach 430 here
1:11:19
Speaker 2: this afternoon.
1:11:20
Speaker 1: News Radio 570 WKVN.
1:11:26
Speaker 14: Columbus Humane took in six dogs over the weekend that
1:11:28
Speaker 14: were brought up from Alabama to avoid Hurricane Isaias. They
1:11:32
Speaker 14: arrived in Columbus on Saturday morning. After being evacuated Friday night,
1:11:37
Speaker 14: the dogs range in age from five months to five
1:11:40
Speaker 14: years old and will be put up for adoption after
1:11:43
Speaker 14: clearing some medical testing.
1:11:44
Speaker 11: Meantime, the man walking from L.A. to Times Square.
1:11:47
Speaker 14: While juggling is expected to be passing through the Dayton
1:11:51

1:11:55

1:12:33
Speaker 2: All right, we're back at it, NewsRadio 570, WKBN, 435
1:12:37
Speaker 2: in the afternoon. Let's go back down to the Covelli Center.
1:12:40
Speaker 2: G2 is out of the bunker and covering the events.
1:12:46
Speaker 2: We talked at 330, now at 430. G2, what's the
1:12:49
Speaker 2: scene like?
1:12:51
Speaker 5: Well, there are a couple things that are interesting. You know,
1:12:53
Speaker 5: one is I had forgotten about the T-shirts. These guys
1:12:57
Speaker 5: have the best t-shirts. The things are fabulous. And so
1:13:00
Speaker 5: that's kind of fun. But I've also run into Dave Johnson,
1:13:06
Speaker 5: who I know from people in Youngstown and from around
1:13:09
Speaker 5: the state has really done a lot of great work
1:13:12
Speaker 5: for the state, for the Valley. And so that was
1:13:14
Speaker 5: nice to see him. And then Michael Rooley just rolled past.
1:13:19
Speaker 5: And there's Dave now. So Michael Rooley just rolled past
1:13:21
Speaker 5: on his way in. And, you know, I got to
1:13:24
Speaker 5: tell you, if somebody wants to come, I think you
1:13:26
Speaker 5: could actually still get in. Because this is a big arena.
1:13:30
Speaker 5: And you may be able to just... come down or
1:13:33
Speaker 5: sign up online and quick get an instant ticket and
1:13:35
Speaker 5: shoot down. I'm not sure what the process is, but
1:13:37
Speaker 5: Michael Rooley just told me that if folks still want
1:13:41
Speaker 5: to come, come on down because it's a fun night.
1:13:45
Speaker 2: So in other words, they can't make it so hard. Well,
1:13:48
Speaker 2: you've got to get a ticket, and how do you
1:13:49
Speaker 2: get a ticket? So you're saying, but you're under the
1:13:53
Speaker 2: impression it's hard to say that if you just show
1:13:55
Speaker 2: up in a screening, you might be able to get in?
1:13:58
Speaker 5: I didn't try it here, but, you know, when I've
1:14:01
Speaker 5: been to other rallies, it got to the point where
1:14:03
Speaker 5: they weren't even checking the tickets. They were just doing
1:14:05
Speaker 5: the security check because it just becomes impractical to check tickets.
1:14:09
Speaker 5: So it's just streaming people in. I would say if
1:14:11
Speaker 5: you want to come, jump in the car, shoot down
1:14:13
Speaker 5: Covelli Center, and, you know, make sure your pockets are
1:14:17
Speaker 5: empty and slide on in because it's going to be
1:14:20
Speaker 5: a good night. So, yeah, I think you could just
1:14:23
Speaker 5: get in. You don't need a ticket. You know, people
1:14:26
Speaker 5: sign up for them online just to reserve a space,
1:14:28
Speaker 5: But in the end, a lot of people to get
1:14:29
Speaker 5: tickets don't come. Sometimes Democrats sign up for tickets to
1:14:32
Speaker 5: have a block on the ticket. Just come on down
1:14:35
Speaker 5: and get through security and get in.
1:14:39
Speaker 2: And, like, it's really too soon at 430 to even
1:14:42
Speaker 2: give any type of judgment on crowd size, isn't it? Because,
1:14:46
Speaker 2: I mean, I would assume a lot of people aren't
1:14:48
Speaker 2: going to show up until at least 5 o'clock.
1:14:52
Speaker 5: Well, that's right. I mean, some folks are working. You know,
1:14:54
Speaker 5: you've got to get here from wherever you are. People
1:14:56
Speaker 5: come from a long distance. So I think you're right.
1:15:01
Speaker 5: You know, but I think you probably want to get
1:15:04
Speaker 5: down here by 530 because at some point they will
1:15:07
Speaker 5: seal the building. And that'll be probably an hour before
1:15:10
Speaker 5: Trump comes, I think, based on what I've seen at
1:15:13
Speaker 5: other events.
1:15:14
Speaker 13: All right.
1:15:14
Speaker 2: So if they do, he's supposed to speak at 6.
1:15:17
Speaker 2: Do these things usually run on time, G2?
1:15:21
Speaker 5: You know, they usually start the opening on time. Trump,
1:15:25
Speaker 5: it's a crapshoot. He could be a little bit late.
1:15:27
Speaker 5: You know, he could be on time. You never know.
1:15:30
Speaker 5: But if he's a little late, they'll fill with, you know,
1:15:34
Speaker 5: they'll have the speakers go long or bring some extra
1:15:35
Speaker 5: people up to talk. And then the crowd's just a blast.
1:15:39
Speaker 5: The music's great. People are dancing in the aisles. It's
1:15:42
Speaker 5: a great time.
1:15:43
Speaker 2: Do you think he'll stop by J.J., the Trumpster's house?
1:15:46
Speaker 2: He made a steak, and he has a Diet Coke
1:15:48
Speaker 2: for him.
1:15:49
Speaker 5: You know, I'm guessing that if there's a helicopter over J.J.
1:15:53
Speaker 5: 's house right now, it's because Trump's going to be
1:15:55
Speaker 5: coming by. The question is, does he have an aerial
1:15:58
Speaker 5: unit up to monitor the security?
1:16:01
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean, you know, he just wants a commitment
1:16:04
Speaker 2: over the $ 5, 000 check. He needs a washing machine really bad.
1:16:09
Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you what, you know, the $ 5, 000, I
1:16:12
Speaker 5: think if Trump gets this diesel deal done, maybe that'll
1:16:15
Speaker 5: get the $ 5, 000 cut loose by Congress.
1:16:19
Speaker 2: I mean, it's going to be interesting to see what
1:16:24
Speaker 2: takes place down there. I mean, as the crowd grows,
1:16:29
Speaker 2: are you surprised? I've got to believe at this point
1:16:34
Speaker 2: in time there wouldn't be very big of a crowd
1:16:36
Speaker 2: at 430, would there?
1:16:38
Speaker 5: I don't know. There's a lot of people here. And
1:16:42
Speaker 5: I can't see outside anymore, so I don't know what
1:16:44
Speaker 5: the line is like. But people are, you know, it's
1:16:48
Speaker 5: filling up. And there's a little stand down the way
1:16:52
Speaker 5: cooking hot sausages, and I can tell you there's a
1:16:54
Speaker 5: line there for those. So, you know, it's pretty happening.
1:17:00
Speaker 5: I mean, there are a lot of people streaming it.
1:17:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's now somebody texts me and says, I
1:17:08
Speaker 2: was just advised that they change the time. from 6
1:17:12
Speaker 2: o'clock to 7 o'clock for Trump to speak. I wonder
1:17:14
Speaker 2: if that's going to be the case.
1:17:17
Speaker 5: The time I had was 6.30, so that could be
1:17:20
Speaker 5: the case. But, you know, he could be there at 7,
1:17:22
Speaker 5: he could be there at 6.30, it's hard to say.
1:17:25
Speaker 5: You know, everything will roll around Air Force One, right?
1:17:27
Speaker 2: I mean, all of this kind of stuff is kind
1:17:29
Speaker 2: of always in flux to a large extent. So from
1:17:35
Speaker 2: the G2 catbird seats, you've seen Dave Johnson, Michael Rooley.
1:17:39
Speaker 2: Who else have you spotted? Go ahead.
1:17:42
Speaker 5: Drew Carcetti from the Mahoning Valley Republican Party, a guy
1:17:45
Speaker 5: that was the sort of chairman of this central committee committee.
1:17:49
Speaker 5: until just recently, who did a huge amount of work
1:17:51
Speaker 5: in the last couple of years to transform the party.
1:17:54
Speaker 5: And I'm sure we'll see Tom later. And Vivek Ramaswamy,
1:18:00
Speaker 5: of course, went by. So now Vivek was surrounded by
1:18:04
Speaker 5: a phalanx of people with guns. So he had quite
1:18:10
Speaker 5: the security team. So he was here. And I'm sure
1:18:15
Speaker 5: there will be something like this. There will be a
1:18:17
Speaker 5: steady stream of people coming through that are going to
1:18:20
Speaker 5: be fun to talk to.
1:18:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, so you haven't spotted Maria Bartiroma? Because
1:18:26
Speaker 2: if you do, could you let her know Denny from
1:18:28
Speaker 2: Rock Creek still is in love with her?
1:18:31
Speaker 5: Listen, if Maria Bartiromo swings in, I'm not mentioning Denny
1:18:35
Speaker 5: for a second.
1:18:35
Speaker 13: I'm just going.
1:18:37
Speaker 5: To sidle up next to her and hang out. Denny's
1:18:40
Speaker 5: on his own. Fair-weathered friend, I can see. Well, listen,
1:18:50
Speaker 5: there's normal stuff, and then there's Maria Bartiromo, okay? So
1:18:53
Speaker 5: you've got to draw the line somewhere.
1:18:55
Speaker 2: What about, let's see, what if you keep your eyes
1:18:59
Speaker 2: peeled for Laura Ingraham or any of the Fox News reporters?
1:19:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it would be interesting to see if
1:19:07
Speaker 5: any of them come. Newsmax is here, and they're broadcasting
1:19:11
Speaker 5: live from the media platform. So they're here, and they're
1:19:14
Speaker 5: hitting it. But I have not seen, you know, it's
1:19:17
Speaker 5: hard to tell who else is up there because they
1:19:20
Speaker 5: don't all have logos.
1:19:21
Speaker 2: Right. All right. Anything else?
1:19:25
Speaker 5: No, no, I'll give you a shot later. We'll check
1:19:28
Speaker 5: in again.
1:19:28
Speaker 2: At 530, the next report, live on location, it's G2
1:19:33
Speaker 2: out of the bunker, right?
1:19:35
Speaker 5: That's it.
1:19:35
Speaker 3: That's it.
1:19:36
Speaker 5: And, you know, if you're available, come on down. Once
1:19:39
Speaker 5: you get through the door, it's just a good time.
1:19:42
Speaker 5: All right.
1:19:42
Speaker 2: Thank you, G2.
1:19:43
Speaker 3: All right.
1:19:44
Speaker 2: Bye-bye. G2, our roving reporter on location at the Covelli
1:19:48
Speaker 2: Center today with the ambiance of the crowd gathering for
1:19:53
Speaker 2: the president's speech. Now, how did, now, I don't know.
1:19:59
Speaker 2: How would anyone know this that would send me this?
1:20:03
Speaker 2: Explain to me. Let me see. Let me see. Now,
1:20:15
Speaker 2: how was this person advised that they'd be speaking at
1:20:18
Speaker 2: 7 instead of 6? They got to clarify that to
1:20:22
Speaker 2: me because I don't know if that's the case. I'm
1:20:25
Speaker 2: just reading some of my messages here. All right. We
1:20:30
Speaker 2: shall see as time goes on. News Radio 570, WKBN,
1:20:34
Speaker 2: and Ron Verb, 443, Monday afternoon, October 12th. Because the
1:20:39
Speaker 2: Guardians pregame happens at 7.30 right here. 7.30, baby. And
1:20:46
Speaker 2: then 8 o'clock, first pitch. Guardians in Tampa Bay. You know,
1:20:51
Speaker 2: going to be taking... That should be an interesting matchup. Guardians,
1:20:59
Speaker 2: 7.35 pregame. About 8.05, first pitch. NewsRadio 570, WQVN, you're
1:21:06
Speaker 2: on the air.
1:21:08
Speaker 26: Well, I'm glad to tell you that.
1:21:11
Speaker 2: Just a minute, please. The show's official sports prognosticator, Dick
1:21:18
Speaker 2: from Dayton, let's see, you said the Guardians would win.
1:21:22
Speaker 6: Yeah.
1:21:24
Speaker 2: You said the Browns would win, so you lost that one.
1:21:27
Speaker 5: I lost that one.
1:21:29
Speaker 26: And I said Ohio State would win.
1:21:31
Speaker 3: They won. Then the Bengals won, so I was three
1:21:34
Speaker 3: of four.
1:21:36
Speaker 2: I think you're getting your mojo back. I mean, just
1:21:38
Speaker 2: from my observation. Now, the analysis of tonight, I mean,
1:21:43
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay's a pretty good team. Cleveland, what's your analysis
1:21:48
Speaker 2: of tonight's game? Dick from Dayton, official sports prognosticator for
1:21:52
Speaker 2: the program.
1:21:53
Speaker 3: I think the Guardians will win it. I do.
1:21:56
Speaker 26: They're going to shock us. I think they're going to
1:21:59
Speaker 26: do good.
1:22:00
Speaker 23: They really do.
1:22:01
Speaker 2: You think they'll take game one?
1:22:04
Speaker 3: Yep, they will.
1:22:05
Speaker 23: But, oh, boy.
1:22:07
Speaker 2: They have momentum on their side. The mojo's with them,
1:22:12
Speaker 2: I would think.
1:22:14
Speaker 26: Yeah, but, you know.
1:22:17
Speaker 26: Next Sunday, they've got to play the best, because Baltimore,
1:22:21
Speaker 26: I don't want to see them get massacred. They're going
1:22:24
Speaker 26: to have to have a.
1:22:25
Speaker 3: Pep talk, you know?
1:22:27
Speaker 26: What do you think?
1:22:29
Speaker 2: A pep talk. Yeah, they're going to need a pep talk. Okay,
1:22:36
Speaker 2: if that makes the difference, yes, they need a pep talk.
1:22:38
Speaker 2: What would you say? I mean, how would you approach it?
1:22:41
Speaker 2: Give me an example of what the pep talk would
1:22:43
Speaker 2: be if you were giving it.
1:22:45
Speaker 26: Well, I just, you know, like when it loads, we've
1:22:48
Speaker 26: got to come together where we were just mental mistakes
1:22:52
Speaker 26: are killing us. And we're dependent on you for that quarterback.
1:22:56
Speaker 26: You know, we got to have Cleveland to represent us.
1:22:59
Speaker 3: You know, I've been a. I loved Cleveland sports since
1:23:03
Speaker 3: I was a kid.
1:23:04
Speaker 26: I used to watch all the games, the Browns, and
1:23:07
Speaker 26: whatever I could watch. I remember when they televised them
1:23:10
Speaker 26: on NBC, then they went back to CBS.
1:23:13
Speaker 2: So basically, you're saying your pep talk would be focus, focus, focus.
1:23:20
Speaker 3: Of winning, winning.
1:23:22
Speaker 2: Okay, so like Charlie Sheen, winning is what you would say, right? Yeah.
1:23:28
Speaker 2: Tiger blood. You guys need tiger blood. You got to
1:23:30
Speaker 2: be winning. I get you. Dick from Dayton. Have a
1:23:33
Speaker 2: good day, Ron. Official sports prognosticator for the program, incidentally.
1:23:39
Speaker 2: Other programs would probably have let him loose years ago
1:23:42
Speaker 2: because he runs hot and he runs cold. But he
1:23:46
Speaker 2: thinks tonight belongs to the Guardians. And we shall see.
1:23:52
Speaker 2: We shall see. Sometimes I think he goes with his heart,
1:23:57
Speaker 2: not his.
1:23:59
Speaker 2: But you know what? That's passion. You're on the air.
1:24:03
Speaker 26: I hope he's still listening.
1:24:04
Speaker 3: Dick from Dayton.
1:24:05
Speaker 6: Cincinnati won, didn't cover the point spread. Buckeyes won, didn't
1:24:09
Speaker 6: cover the point spread. Give us some useful information.
1:24:12
Speaker 9: You know what?
1:24:15
Speaker 2: They still won. He's not a gambler, okay? They still won.
1:24:20
Speaker 2: He's not doing the points or anything like that.
1:24:23
Speaker 13: It's like kissing your sister, Ron.
1:24:25
Speaker 3: You know, it's not that much fun. Anyhow, getting back
1:24:28
Speaker 3: to tonight, go Tribe. Scalp them. Scalp them tonight. Even
1:24:32
Speaker 3: though we lost.
1:24:32
Speaker 6: Four out of five to them in a regular season,
1:24:35
Speaker 6: I think after the game the other night, we got
1:24:39
Speaker 6: momentum on our side, and we're going to do the old,
1:24:42
Speaker 6: when they used to.
1:24:42
Speaker 1: Call you fireball verb, we.
1:24:45
Speaker 6: Used to pitch for the Mondaida Bees, and they used
1:24:48
Speaker 6: to look.
1:24:49
Speaker 3: At that 42-mile-an-hour fastball.
1:24:51
Speaker 7: Yep.
1:24:51
Speaker 6: They thought, oh, my goodness, this guy is major league material.
1:24:56
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely. And just to correct something, it ranged from
1:25:02
Speaker 2: 40 to 44 miles an hour, depending on the wind.
1:25:07
Speaker 3: Depending on the wind.
1:25:08
Speaker 2: Right, right.
1:25:10
Speaker 3: And hats off to our beloved president.
1:25:13
Speaker 6: Remember, Ronnie, you'd think I'd have a bigger crowd than
1:25:15
Speaker 6: when me and you, when we were in our youth,
1:25:17
Speaker 6: younger years, and we had our kids down there at
1:25:20
Speaker 6: Southern Park Mall when our beloved, I'll be his name,
1:25:26
Speaker 6: Former Congressman Mr. Trappigan had the Clintons and his vice president,
1:25:33
Speaker 6: Al Gore, in his lovely white. You think it will
1:25:35
Speaker 6: be a bigger crowd there than at the Covelli tonight?
1:25:40
Speaker 1: I don't know.
1:25:41
Speaker 2: I remember that. I do remember that day, and it
1:25:43
Speaker 2: was a hell of a big crowd. Clinton, excuse me,
1:25:46
Speaker 2: it's Clinton, right? Clinton.
1:25:48
Speaker 1: Clinton, yeah.
1:25:50
Speaker 5: Mr.
1:25:50
Speaker 3: Clinton.
1:25:51
Speaker 2: And Gore was there. Remember, they were going to bring
1:25:54
Speaker 2: the DFAS Center here. Whatever happened to that?
1:25:56
Speaker 11: Remember that, Ronnie?
1:25:57
Speaker 6: Tell the people what happened when he told our beloved
1:25:59
Speaker 6: congressman that if you deliver the vote for the Valley,
1:26:04
Speaker 6: I'll bring you that DFAS Center with the 12,000 jobs.
1:26:07
Speaker 2: Where's that located now? Where did they... Let's see. I
1:26:11
Speaker 2: don't see it anywhere around here. Is it in Boardman
1:26:13
Speaker 2: or Austin? I don't see the DFAS Center anywhere here.
1:26:16
Speaker 3: I don't see it. And he got elected twice. Didn't
1:26:20
Speaker 3: he come to our valley twice?
1:26:22
Speaker 6: And he promised us all the riches.
1:26:25
Speaker 2: And how about our congressman when he was down at
1:26:29
Speaker 2: the B & O station with El Presidente Clinton and
1:26:34
Speaker 2: where he was?
1:26:36
Speaker 3: Right.
1:26:37
Speaker 6: Remember the time we were at that, what was it,
1:26:39
Speaker 6: the Teamsters local hall? We had that guy, that Democrat
1:26:43
Speaker 6: that come in there with Al Gore, the guy with
1:26:45
Speaker 6: the haircut, remember? And he got up there, he goes,
1:26:49
Speaker 6: he got up there, and everybody applauded and everything, and
1:26:52
Speaker 6: he got up there and goes, what town are we?
1:26:55
Speaker 6: Are we in Canton?
1:26:56
Speaker 3: And we said, no, you didn't even know what town. Oh, Youngstown, Youngstown. Oh, yes.
1:27:01
Speaker 3: Split my thought.
1:27:03
Speaker 2: Now, was that Dan Quayle?
1:27:07
Speaker 3: I don't think it was Dan Quill.
1:27:09
Speaker 6: It was that other guy that ran with, that had
1:27:12
Speaker 6: his hair cut and his wife was too chubby.
1:27:15
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. John Edwards.
1:27:18
Speaker 6: John, yeah, me and you and the sailor were there
1:27:23
Speaker 6: at that.
1:27:23
Speaker 3: It seems like whenever these big shots.
1:27:26
Speaker 6: Are there, it's me and you and whoever the big
1:27:28
Speaker 6: shot is at that town meeting we had.
1:27:31
Speaker 5: At that hall.
1:27:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I remember Clinton, Gore. I remember Dan Quayle.
1:27:37
Speaker 2: I remember a lot of these people.
1:27:42
Speaker 6: Ronnie, wasn't it you that said that WRTA has all
1:27:46
Speaker 6: this money that people get to ride for free?
1:27:50
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:27:50
Speaker 3: Tell me something, Ronnie.
1:27:51
Speaker 6: How come they don't build no shelters outside for these people?
1:27:54
Speaker 6: You see them standing at Walmart out in the rain
1:27:57
Speaker 6: and everything. Can't they build, they saved all this, they
1:28:01
Speaker 6: got all this money. Can't they build these shelters for
1:28:03
Speaker 6: the people waiting for the buses?
1:28:06
Speaker 2: I would like to think so, because, I mean, at
1:28:09
Speaker 2: some of those locations, they do get people that are
1:28:12
Speaker 2: waiting for the bus, and you're saying, can you put
1:28:15
Speaker 2: one up on that location? Is it allowed? Is zoning allowed,
1:28:18
Speaker 2: or can you put one up? But I would agree
1:28:20
Speaker 2: with you. I mean, I hate to see people stand
1:28:22
Speaker 2: out there in the wind, rain, snow, and that kind
1:28:24
Speaker 2: of stuff. If you can put up a little shelter
1:28:26
Speaker 2: for them, and then at night, it can be used
1:28:28
Speaker 2: for the homeless to sleep in.
1:28:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, well.
1:28:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, boy, if you say so, go ahead.
1:28:35
Speaker 26: Anyhow, the other thing, too, Ronnie.
1:28:36
Speaker 2: Let's help him tonight. Help him. Now, did you get
1:28:39
Speaker 2: your Sherrod Brown sign to put in your yard?
1:28:45
Speaker 3: No, I didn't get Mr.
1:28:46
Speaker 6: Sherrod Brown's sign.
1:28:47
Speaker 5: No, no, no.
1:28:49
Speaker 6: Not the guy who let Lordstown and Packer Electric fall
1:28:52
Speaker 6: by the hoist side. And you're going to have that
1:28:54
Speaker 6: guy from Champion call in and go, oh, it was
1:28:56
Speaker 6: already headed in the wrong direction.
1:28:58
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't.
1:28:59
Speaker 3: No, it wasn't. Come on. You were here, Ronnie.
1:29:03
Speaker 25: Tell the people.
1:29:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was going in the right direction. I hear, yeah,

Speaker 2: coming to town to talk to all of us. And
1:30:57
Speaker 2: you're on the air.
1:31:01
Speaker 22: Ronnie.
1:31:01
Speaker 6: Yes.
1:31:03
Speaker 12: I had a call back because J.J.
1:31:05
Speaker 22: Called me and he said that the reason the president's
1:31:08
Speaker 22: speech is delayed is because a helicopter just flew over J.J.
1:31:14
Speaker 22: 's house, landed in his yard, and Trump presented him
1:31:19
Speaker 22: a $ 5.
1:31:19
Speaker 12: 000 check for his vote.
1:31:21
Speaker 2: And a steak dinner, right?
1:31:24
Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely.
1:31:30
Speaker 2: A little theater of the mind on your part, right?
1:31:32
Speaker 2: You're like a thespian today.
1:31:34
Speaker 12: I don't know.
1:31:37
Speaker 3: Yes, you're a thespian.
1:31:39
Speaker 12: I identify as a lesbian, all right?
1:31:41
Speaker 2: Yes. I mean, you know, JJ's saying he would like
1:31:45
Speaker 2: the president to swing out by his house. He's got
1:31:47
Speaker 2: a steak and a Diet Coke if he could bring
1:31:50
Speaker 2: the $ 5, 000 check. Yes, that's... Okay. Is that it?
1:31:56
Speaker 22: No, one more thing. I think WKBN, maybe on their website,
1:32:01
Speaker 22: I think they're going to stream the speech live.
1:32:05
Speaker 12: I'm not sure.
1:32:06
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:32:07
Speaker 2: Okay.
1:32:07
Speaker 24: Stay tuned.
1:32:08
Speaker 22: You would probably know more than me.
1:32:10
Speaker 2: Well, that goes without saying on anything, would it not?
1:32:14
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
1:32:16
Speaker 3: Right?
1:32:16
Speaker 2: I mean, isn't that kind of stating the obvious? Yeah.
1:32:21
Speaker 22: Ronnie, Nurse Bertha is knocking on your door. She knocked
1:32:25
Speaker 22: on mine first. I said, no, Ron's next door.
1:32:27
Speaker 2: Hey, listen, I got to go. You're on the air.
1:32:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, you do have to go. You left me hanging.
1:32:35
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. It's the guru of Gerard.
1:32:37
Speaker 23: Hey, something funny happened, though, I got to tell you about.
1:32:41
Speaker 5: Yes.
1:32:42
Speaker 23: So somebody who shall remain nameless said to me, they go,
1:32:46
Speaker 23: what do you.
1:32:47
Speaker 5: Think, guru?
1:32:49
Speaker 2: Well, you are the guru of Girard. But they called
1:32:53
Speaker 2: me that. You know what I mean? Don't you think
1:32:56
Speaker 2: that's what you are? Listen, I know it's terrible. I
1:33:02
Speaker 2: promise you, directly after the news at 5, I'll get
1:33:04
Speaker 2: you right on. Because I punched the wrong button. No problem.
1:33:07
Speaker 2: All right, back to the guru of Girard. After the
1:33:10
Speaker 2: break at 5, Ron Verb, NewsRadio 570, WKBN.
1:33:14
Speaker 16: Flying Missions here as the Valley's trusted news, weather, and

1:33:27
Speaker 17: President Trump calls it the right choice for the American people.
1:33:30
Speaker 18: On Lisa Brady, Fox News.
1:33:32
Speaker 17: He's defending a deal to allow Russia to sell diesel fuel,
1:33:35
Speaker 17: aiming to help lower prices. Though some in Congress are
1:33:37
Speaker 17: questioning whether it's legal because of existing sanctions over the
1:33:40
Speaker 17: war in Ukraine. And Ukraine's President Zelensky tells Fox Russia
1:33:44
Speaker 17: bombed a power plant only hours after a Trump post
1:33:47
Speaker 17: about a ceasefire on energy targets.
1:33:49
Speaker 27: The communication from Russia was very clear that they don't
1:33:53
Speaker 27: know anything about the energy ceasefire. And it's a pity
1:33:57
Speaker 27: because they always, I mean, they will find any kind
1:34:00
Speaker 27: of reasons not to stop this war.
1:34:02
Speaker 17: President Zelensky calling for more pressure on Russia and saying
1:34:05
Speaker 17: Ukraine would comply with an energy ceasefire. President Trump has
1:34:09
Speaker 17: criticized Ukraine's strikes on Russian energy sites. Iran-backed Houthi rebels
1:34:14
Speaker 17: reportedly claiming responsibility for another attempted ballistic missile attack on
1:34:18
Speaker 17: an airport in the Saudi capital today, this time intercepted
1:34:22
Speaker 17: after attacks over the weekend that killed 14 people, injuring hundreds.
1:34:26
Speaker 18: And renewing questions about any potential U.S. action to help
1:34:29
Speaker 18: the Saudis. Just getting reports the.
1:34:31
Speaker 17: FBI is issuing a summons accusing actress Selma Blair of
1:34:35
Speaker 17: assaults on a plane. A federal official tells the Associated
1:34:38
Speaker 17: Press there's no court date set yet. Blair is accused
1:34:40
Speaker 17: of trying to open a door on a Delta jet
1:34:42
Speaker 17: while traveling from L.A.
1:34:44
Speaker 18: To New York yesterday.
1:34:45
Speaker 17: Then assaulting flight attendants who intervened, accused of punching one
1:34:48
Speaker 17: and biting another.
1:34:49
Speaker 28: The plane did land at JFK safely. Police were waiting,
1:34:52
Speaker 28: and it didn't stop there. This is the part where
1:34:54
Speaker 28: it even escalates further. So the plane lands, and then
1:34:57
Speaker 28: Blair repeatedly kicks a Port Authority police officer in the head.
1:35:00
Speaker 28: I guess they had these restraints around her legs. She
1:35:03
Speaker 28: kind of got out of them. And according to witnesses,
1:35:05
Speaker 28: it went off the rails. Then once she gets to
1:35:07
Speaker 28: the hospital in New York, she assaults a nurse, according
1:35:09
Speaker 28: to TMZ. And they say that nurse wants to press charges.
1:35:12
Speaker 17: Fox's Alexis McAdams, a representative for Blair, says she had

1:36:37
Speaker 2: Hi, good afternoon, NewsRadio 570 WKBN. It is a terrific-looking Monday,
1:36:42
Speaker 2: magnificent Monday, really, on this October 12th, 72 degrees, very
1:36:45
Speaker 2: comfortable outside, which is a good day. We have comfortable temperatures,
1:36:49
Speaker 2: and we don't have any rain or anything like that
1:36:51
Speaker 2: for all the folks waiting in line at the Covelli
1:36:54
Speaker 2: Center to get into the president's speech tonight around 6 o'clock.
1:36:59
Speaker 2: And then, of course— The protesters as well. So everybody
1:37:04
Speaker 2: at that big event is blessed with a gorgeous day
1:37:07
Speaker 2: of 72 degrees as the president comes to town tomorrow.
1:37:12
Speaker 2: Are you ready for this? 80 is going to be
1:37:14
Speaker 2: the high for tomorrow. And that's pretty good for in
1:37:20
Speaker 2: October the 13th as we make 80 degrees in my
1:37:23
Speaker 2: neck of the woods here in Tiffany Boulevard in Boardman.
1:37:25
Speaker 2: That's considered just perfect. All right, onward we go. The
1:37:29
Speaker 2: guru of Gerard is standing by with great insights, I
1:37:32
Speaker 2: might add. Great insights, as always. Hello, guru.
1:37:36
Speaker 23: Hey, well, I did something kind of interesting this year.
1:37:40
Speaker 23: On the first.
1:37:41
Speaker 3: Day of voting.
1:37:42
Speaker 2: Yes, you voted.
1:37:45
Speaker 23: I did, because I could not stand all of these
1:37:48
Speaker 23: stupid ads. I don't care what side you're on. What
1:37:52
Speaker 23: a waste of money. And I just didn't want to
1:37:55
Speaker 23: listen to it or care. So I just went and
1:37:58
Speaker 23: voted on the first day and done. And whenever I
1:38:00
Speaker 23: see an ad or something, I just kind of pass it.
1:38:04
Speaker 23: I don't care because it doesn't matter. It's about the
1:38:06
Speaker 23: best I could do because this is all crazy, man.
1:38:10
Speaker 23: Money we waste.
1:38:12
Speaker 2: So did you vote a straight ticket or did you
1:38:15
Speaker 2: vote a mixed ticket?
1:38:18
Speaker 23: I voted mixed, actually. I literally, this is what I
1:38:23
Speaker 23: do now.
1:38:24
Speaker 3: I take.
1:38:26
Speaker 23: The issues that I care about, and I look and
1:38:28
Speaker 23: I see what they've said, you know, and what I
1:38:30
Speaker 23: know about the person. I actually know a couple people.
1:38:32
Speaker 23: At least one is running, like a longtime friend of mine,
1:38:35
Speaker 23: and that made me definitely switch. But, yeah, I don't know.
1:38:44
Speaker 23: It was mostly probably, you would agree with most of
1:38:47
Speaker 23: my vote, I would say.
1:38:49
Speaker 2: Okay, but you voted a mixed ticket.
1:38:54
Speaker 23: Yeah, you know, Denny, he needs an intervention, perhaps. He
1:39:00
Speaker 23: just sounded really, really stressed. I mean, it was good
1:39:03
Speaker 23: he was reminiscing and all, but I think ever since Maria,
1:39:07
Speaker 23: we should do something nice for Denny.
1:39:10
Speaker 2: Listen, I can't live in that fantasy world of his.
1:39:17
Speaker 2: I got to be in the real world. You understand?
1:39:20
Speaker 2: I got to deal with reality.
1:39:24
Speaker 23: We took our kids down.
1:39:25
Speaker 22: Does he have kids?
1:39:27
Speaker 2: I got to deal with reality. Does he have kids? No,
1:39:29
Speaker 2: he never got married.
1:39:31
Speaker 3: That's what I was wondering.
1:39:32
Speaker 23: I thought I heard him say we brought our kids
1:39:34
Speaker 23: down there.
1:39:34
Speaker 2: No, he's a lifelong bachelor with no children. He's missed
1:39:39
Speaker 2: some of the best things about life, marriage, family. That's
1:39:44
Speaker 2: what life is all about.
1:39:45
Speaker 23: And now he doesn't have Maria. I think we should
1:39:47
Speaker 23: do an intervention on him sometime.
1:39:49
Speaker 2: Well, she's no longer on Fox.
1:39:52
Speaker 3: If Trump doesn't show up, then J.J. should make him
1:39:54
Speaker 3: a steak.
1:39:55
Speaker 2: You know, it's a pretty decent crowd that they have already.
1:40:02
Speaker 2: at the Covelli Center, people going down to see. It's
1:40:05
Speaker 2: always a big deal. I don't care if it's a
1:40:06
Speaker 2: Democrat or Republican when the president comes to town. I've
1:40:09
Speaker 2: been here for a lot of them over the years
1:40:11
Speaker 2: when Clinton was in town and Al Gore and Dan Quayle.
1:40:17
Speaker 2: I mean, there's been a lot of people who come
1:40:19
Speaker 2: to town. And it doesn't matter whether Republican or Democrat,
1:40:21
Speaker 2: it's always a big deal when they're coming to your community.
1:40:25
Speaker 2: And it's a major event. Obviously, And I'll be the
1:40:28
Speaker 2: first to say, and I would say this to you, Guru,
1:40:30
Speaker 2: make no mistake, this community that we are in is
1:40:34
Speaker 2: a major influence in the outcome of elections for Senate,
1:40:40
Speaker 2: for Senator, and for Governor. These are very important areas
1:40:45
Speaker 2: for both of those races. And Republicans and Democrats are
1:40:48
Speaker 2: damn well aware of that.
1:40:50
Speaker 23: So I have a question for you.
1:40:53
Speaker 5: It's like a legal question.
1:40:54
Speaker 2: Yes.
1:40:55
Speaker 23: So since Trump is not running... and he's simply an
1:40:59
Speaker 23: advocate for Republicans, is it legal for you to have
1:41:03
Speaker 23: him call in the show?
1:41:07
Speaker 2: Well, let me put it this way. If the president
1:41:09
Speaker 2: calls the show, he's going to get on.
1:41:12
Speaker 3: Well, that's my point.
1:41:14
Speaker 23: I mean, you know, the guru's telling you, you are
1:41:17
Speaker 23: right now, you're the most important you'll ever be to
1:41:19
Speaker 23: Donald Trump.
1:41:20
Speaker 6: Yeah.
1:41:21
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:41:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about that? I never thought of it. I'm
1:41:24
Speaker 2: going to sit a little more up in my chair now.
1:41:28
Speaker 2: Now I'm feeling kind of better about myself.
1:41:30
Speaker 23: President Trump, if you are listening, your handlers are listening,
1:41:33
Speaker 23: you need to call in the Ron Burr show. It
1:41:36
Speaker 23: would be very popular and reach a lot of people.
1:41:39
Speaker 2: He's got to be flying in. I would imagine they
1:41:43
Speaker 2: would land at the airbase, wouldn't you think? I mean,
1:41:45
Speaker 2: if I had to guess.
1:41:47
Speaker 23: Do you really think that he didn't just hear what
1:41:49
Speaker 23: I said right now? Or he won't hear it within
1:41:52
Speaker 23: the next.
1:41:54
Speaker 2: I don't know.
1:41:54
Speaker 5: Ten hours.
1:41:56
Speaker 2: You would think.
1:41:56
Speaker 6: I.
1:41:58
Speaker 2: Would wonder if, like, you know, J.J. Cafaro is a
1:42:01
Speaker 2: real good friend of... The Cafaros are good friends of
1:42:04
Speaker 2: Trump because they were in the same industry. I mean,
1:42:06
Speaker 2: before Trump was president, right? They were developers and builders
1:42:09
Speaker 2: and that kind of stuff. So, you know, Trump knows J.J.
1:42:13
Speaker 2: Cafaro by name. So I'd be curious if... If J.J.
1:42:19
Speaker 2: greets him out at the airbase or talks to the
1:42:23
Speaker 2: president when he's in town. It would be interesting to see.
1:42:25
Speaker 3: Mr.
1:42:26
Speaker 23: Cafaro, could you ask him to call the Ron Burke show?
1:42:28
Speaker 2: There you go. What about the guru from Girard? It
1:42:31
Speaker 2: doesn't get any.
1:42:31
Speaker 1: Bigger than this.
1:42:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know.
1:42:35
Speaker 23: Ever since I lost some mojo when I switched out
1:42:38
Speaker 23: of the party, probably.
1:42:39
Speaker 2: No, you didn't. No, you didn't. I don't have a party.
1:42:43
Speaker 2: You're showing growth. You're showing your independence. You don't need
1:42:47
Speaker 2: a party. You're an American. You're part of the American
1:42:50
Speaker 2: party first.
1:42:50
Speaker 23: I am part of the American party.
1:42:52
Speaker 3: All right.
1:42:53
Speaker 2: See you.
1:42:54
Speaker 3: Professor.
1:42:56
Speaker 5: President Trump.
1:42:57
Speaker 3: Yes. Call Ron Verp. Make my day.
1:42:59
Speaker 23: Make me feel like the most important man.
1:43:00
Speaker 5: In the world.
1:43:01
Speaker 3: I'll tell everybody.
1:43:02
Speaker 23: Call the Ron Verp show.
1:43:04
Speaker 2: There you go.
1:43:05
Speaker 23: And I'll just jump up and down and scream.
1:43:07
Speaker 3: So will Benny.
1:43:08
Speaker 20: All right.
1:43:08
Speaker 2: Thank you, buddy. Appreciate it. You got it. You're on
1:43:10
Speaker 2: the air.
1:43:12
Speaker 29: If Gino goes tonight, he should maybe like the Kennedy Center.
1:43:16
Speaker 29: Maybe we should make it like the Trump Mahoning County
1:43:18
Speaker 29: $ 60 million government office. See if we can pull some strings.
1:43:22
Speaker 29: You never go through a rich man's ego.
1:43:26
Speaker 2: It's the Cavalli Center. He bought the naming rights. It's
1:43:30
Speaker 2: been a Cavalli Center. So what do you want to
1:43:31
Speaker 2: call it?
1:43:32
Speaker 3: No, no, no.
1:43:33
Speaker 29: I'm talking about the new building.
1:43:36
Speaker 2: Oh!
1:43:38
Speaker 15: Yeah.
1:43:38
Speaker 1: Oh, you're talking.
1:43:39
Speaker 2: Yes, you're talking about.
1:43:41
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:43:43
Speaker 29: You know, his time's going to be precious. He should
1:43:45
Speaker 29: have walked past an artist's rendition of, like, an AI
1:43:47
Speaker 29: rendering just with his name right on top. He could
1:43:49
Speaker 29: have got some federal dollars. Heck, maybe he would have
1:43:52
Speaker 29: just flipped the bill for it. We could have saved
1:43:54
Speaker 29: the taxpayers a whole lot of money.
1:43:55
Speaker 2: So you're basically saying Geno should be down there talking
1:43:59
Speaker 2: to Trump saying, can you get us some federal money
1:44:02
Speaker 2: for this $ 60 million building? And we'll call it the
1:44:05
Speaker 2: Trump Government Center. Yes.
1:44:07
Speaker 6: Yes.
1:44:08
Speaker 13: 100%.
1:44:09
Speaker 2: Now, see, this is a guy that's thinking. This is
1:44:11
Speaker 2: a guy right here. Alec is way ahead of the
1:44:13
Speaker 2: game here, folks. He's the guy saying, let's monopolize on this. Gino,
1:44:18
Speaker 2: you should be paying attention. Go down and maybe being commissioner,
1:44:23
Speaker 2: you'll be able to meet the president and you'll be
1:44:25
Speaker 2: able to say to him, we got $ 60 million. Can
1:44:28
Speaker 2: you give us some federal money? We'll name it the
1:44:30
Speaker 2: Trump Government Center. Beautiful idea. Beautiful idea.
1:44:33
Speaker 3: I would have asked.
1:44:34
Speaker 29: I would ask for $ 120 million because those bonds are
1:44:37
Speaker 29: going to cost us so much more. Just art of
1:44:40
Speaker 29: the deal. You ask for a little more, work back,
1:44:41
Speaker 29: maybe sign the check at like $ 100 million.
1:44:45
Speaker 5: We're still good to go. We'll put some gold.
1:44:48
Speaker 29: Plates on there.
1:44:49
Speaker 12: We'll be set.
1:44:50
Speaker 29: This is a missed opportunity if Gino hasn't thought of this.
1:44:53
Speaker 2: Some gold plates.
1:44:57
Speaker 12: I mean, seriously.
1:44:59
Speaker 29: Now, you know, all things set aside, I know the
1:45:03
Speaker 29: president's probably on his way here. It's a lot going
1:45:05
Speaker 29: on down there. But, you know, I don't mean to
1:45:08
Speaker 29: change the subject or anything, but I just think, you know,
1:45:11
Speaker 29: God bless people like Rich that actually do the work
1:45:14
Speaker 29: and will actually confront, you know, people that run for governor. And,
1:45:17
Speaker 29: you know, good for Gino for coming.
1:45:19
Speaker 23: On the other day.
1:45:20
Speaker 22: He was very good and open.
1:45:22
Speaker 6: Yes.
1:45:22
Speaker 26: You know, I give them both.
1:45:23
Speaker 29: I give them both credits. I just didn't like a
1:45:25
Speaker 29: lot of the answers that I was getting. You know,
1:45:28
Speaker 29: Gino didn't really know a lot of the things about,
1:45:30
Speaker 29: you know, how much this is eventually going to cost. And,
1:45:33
Speaker 29: you know, all the answers were, well, you just don't know.
1:45:36
Speaker 29: And it was like me in my house. Like, if
1:45:38
Speaker 29: I want to move and I tell my wife, well,
1:45:40
Speaker 29: you know what, you know, it would be nice to
1:45:41
Speaker 29: have this. It would be better to have that. It
1:45:43
Speaker 29: would be nice to have this. Well, wouldn't you want
1:45:44
Speaker 29: to have that? Well, if we fix this, it would
1:45:46
Speaker 29: cost this much.
1:45:47
Speaker 5: What a waste.
1:45:48
Speaker 29: Well, yeah, that all sounds good and dandy when it's
1:45:50
Speaker 29: somebody else's money and you have no say in it. Again,
1:45:55
Speaker 29: I appreciate him coming on and being transparent, but I
1:45:58
Speaker 29: just didn't like a lot of that. I think he
1:46:00
Speaker 29: could have quelled a lot of the concerns that he
1:46:03
Speaker 29: had an AI rendering of the Trump, you know, Mahoning
1:46:06
Speaker 29: County government office building that he could have on stage
1:46:09
Speaker 29: with him when Trump came out.
1:46:11
Speaker 2: Well, let me put it this way. I thought Gino
1:46:14
Speaker 2: did an excellent job, and I thought Rich was good
1:46:17
Speaker 2: on what he was doing, because you can have a
1:46:21
Speaker 2: long enough forum where you can have an open discussion
1:46:24
Speaker 2: with both of these guys about a particular issue, and...
1:46:29
Speaker 2: And they have enough time to make their points and
1:46:31
Speaker 2: explain things. And I do agree with you. I mean, transparency,
1:46:37
Speaker 2: Gino coming on is transparency to talk to the community
1:46:40
Speaker 2: about his thought process on this. And I learned a
1:46:43
Speaker 2: lot of things about it I didn't know from Gino
1:46:46
Speaker 2: that was interesting. And I think Rich did a good
1:46:49
Speaker 2: conversation of questioning things and Gino responding to them. I mean,
1:46:53
Speaker 2: it wasn't a debate. It was really a conversation, which
1:46:56
Speaker 2: I enjoyed.
1:46:57
Speaker 22: Right.
1:46:58
Speaker 29: And the thing is, even $ 60 million aside, Gino could
1:47:01
Speaker 29: say it's not going to go over budget. I don't
1:47:03
Speaker 29: know how you could say that. I mean, it's going to.
1:47:06
Speaker 29: Nothing ever comes in under budget. If Trump's not building it,
1:47:09
Speaker 29: unless they finish the White House addition, he can maybe
1:47:12
Speaker 29: work on building it also. But it's always going to
1:47:14
Speaker 29: come over budget. And then we have to get a
1:47:17
Speaker 29: bond for this. So the taxpayers are going to be
1:47:19
Speaker 29: paying for this for the next 30 years.
1:47:21
Speaker 13: They don't have the money.
1:47:22
Speaker 29: Even if they have to take out $ 50 million for bonds,
1:47:25
Speaker 29: it's going to cost.
1:47:27
Speaker 5: way more.
1:47:28
Speaker 29: And at the end of the day, I want all
1:47:29
Speaker 29: the government employees to have a nice place, you know,
1:47:32
Speaker 29: to go to work, but it's a government agency. Their
1:47:35
Speaker 29: job is to take care of the citizen, not to
1:47:37
Speaker 29: be in a glass and Taj Mahal with 12 foot
1:47:42
Speaker 29: windows and natural light coming in. Like I just need
1:47:45
Speaker 29: my driver's license, my registration.
1:47:47
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
1:47:48
Speaker 29: Like, what are we building this for? And I'm concerned.
1:47:51
Speaker 2: Let me put it this way though. Let me, if
1:47:53
Speaker 2: you're going to, And sometimes a new building is better
1:48:00
Speaker 2: than renovating an old one just because of just– I
1:48:04
Speaker 2: get that. Make no mistake about that. But if you're
1:48:07
Speaker 2: going to build a new one, you might as well
1:48:09
Speaker 2: build a nice building. I mean, you might as well
1:48:11
Speaker 2: build one that has a little bit of pizzazz to it,
1:48:14
Speaker 2: not just uh a bland one well don't.
1:48:17
Speaker 29: At the end of the day ron what do you
1:48:19
Speaker 29: think all my money comes out of the same pocket
1:48:21
Speaker 29: shouldn't i be able to choose where i put my
1:48:23
Speaker 29: pizzazz and not have to worry about like the government
1:48:27
Speaker 29: agency office in downtown youngstown which i might go to
1:48:30
Speaker 29: once or twice in my life and then have to
1:48:33
Speaker 29: pay to park there you know what i mean i
1:48:35
Speaker 29: mean i don't know why we're building this this this
1:48:37
Speaker 29: whole thing. And, you know, Gino said, don't you want
1:48:40
Speaker 29: people coming from out of town to see this beautiful
1:48:43
Speaker 29: building so they invest in Youngstown and want to come
1:48:45
Speaker 29: to Mahoning County? Well, I sure do. It's just like
1:48:49
Speaker 29: G2 said, you're going to have to blindfold them on
1:48:51
Speaker 29: the way until they get there then because this will.
1:48:54
Speaker 3: Not show all the blight.
1:48:56
Speaker 29: So it sounds all great when you take it out
1:48:58
Speaker 29: of context of the whole entire scenario there. I don't
1:49:03
Speaker 29: know what more we're supposed to do. Every dollar that
1:49:06
Speaker 29: goes out, it just keeps adding up. It's like when
1:49:08
Speaker 29: you sign something, it's like for the price of a
1:49:10
Speaker 29: cup of coffee a day, $ 3 a day.
1:49:13
Speaker 3: That's it.
1:49:13
Speaker 29: Well, those $ 3 tend to add up when you multiply
1:49:16
Speaker 29: it 100 times over every single month, along with everything
1:49:19
Speaker 29: else that keeps going up. Now, I don't know what
1:49:22
Speaker 29: Donald Trump's going to come to Youngstown and talk about tonight,
1:49:25
Speaker 29: but I hope he starts talking about something for, you know,
1:49:27
Speaker 29: the working class here, because he's got, what, a couple
1:49:30
Speaker 29: more weeks before the midterms, and we're talking about, you know,
1:49:33
Speaker 29: things that are just not really moving the needle for
1:49:36
Speaker 29: somebody to want to go out and vote. Sure, the
1:49:37
Speaker 29: gas price came down a little bit, but that's because,
1:49:40
Speaker 29: you know, the Republicans in the state, you know, took
1:49:42
Speaker 29: off the gas tax for, what, 90 days. So what happens,
1:49:46
Speaker 29: and I mean, it's a political move. I'm not, I'm,
1:49:49
Speaker 29: I'm conservative, I'm a Republican, I'll say it. You know,
1:49:52
Speaker 29: if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck,
1:49:54
Speaker 29: it's a duck. This is a political move before the midterms, okay.
1:49:58
Speaker 29: It helps my pocketbook, but what happens 90 days later
1:50:01
Speaker 29: when it goes right back? Or Donald Trump's a lame
1:50:04
Speaker 29: duck because they lose the House and the Senate, and
1:50:07
Speaker 29: now the war goes on even longer. I have no idea.
1:50:10
Speaker 29: And then he's handcuffed instead of being able to just
1:50:12
Speaker 29: finish the job. like we should do in wars, not
1:50:15
Speaker 29: like Afghanistan for 20 years where we handed it back
1:50:18
Speaker 29: to the Taliban after giving up how many lives and
1:50:22
Speaker 29: $ 2 trillion. I mean, I just look forward to having
1:50:26
Speaker 29: some form of finalization on anything moving forward and an
1:50:31
Speaker 29: actual plan that comes to fruition.
1:50:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I would agree with that. I would totally
1:50:40
Speaker 2: agree with that.
1:50:41
Speaker 29: All right, just in case Trump's on hold, I'll get off.
1:50:46
Speaker 2: Okay, great. Thanks for calling. Appreciate it. You're on the air.
1:50:51
Speaker 3: Hey, Bubba.
1:50:54
Speaker 2: Let's get something straight. You're Bubba Ganoush, not me.
1:50:58
Speaker 3: No, Diamond Dave.
1:50:59
Speaker 2: No, Diamond Dave, I don't recognize that name.
1:51:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was right again. I told you they'd win
1:51:04
Speaker 3: all three games, the Guardians. Remember? I got a podcast.
1:51:10
Speaker 3: I heard it on the podcast, so.
1:51:12
Speaker 5: Ball game.
1:51:14
Speaker 8: No.
1:51:15
Speaker 3: I told you they were going to clean up. They
1:51:18
Speaker 3: were going to win all three and beat Chicago.
1:51:20
Speaker 5: And you go, no, man, that's a lot.
1:51:22
Speaker 3: That's a lot.
1:51:24
Speaker 2: What a great series, though. I mean, really, to come
1:51:27
Speaker 2: from behind to 2-0 and do that. I mean, I
1:51:32
Speaker 2: am so looking forward to the pregame tonight. Right here,
1:51:36
Speaker 2: Guardians coverage starting at about 7.30 p.m. A little after
1:51:41
Speaker 2: 8 o'clock, first pitch, Tom Hamilton. Really, there isn't anybody
1:51:47
Speaker 2: better than that. And Rosie calling the game tonight. A
1:51:50
Speaker 2: little bit after 8 o'clock here on NewsRadio 570. WDKVN, really.
1:51:54
Speaker 3: You know who they're pitching?
1:51:56
Speaker 2: Who are they pitching?
1:51:57
Speaker 3: Well, we're pitching this guy. that last time he pitched,
1:52:04
Speaker 3: he pitched six, seven innings and gave up no runs,
1:52:07
Speaker 3: no walks.
1:52:07
Speaker 2: I'll tell you, man, how about the pitching Saturday? What
1:52:12
Speaker 2: a great... Unbelievable. Yeah, absolutely unbelievable. I mean, it was really....
1:52:19
Speaker 3: I mean, Williams, I mean, he did great.
1:52:24
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you something. I mean, the Browns are exciting, too.
1:52:27
Speaker 2: I mean, even though we lost that game, and I
1:52:30
Speaker 2: understand everybody's playing in the same weather, but I haven't
1:52:35
Speaker 2: thrown a towel in on the Browns yet either. They
1:52:37
Speaker 2: don't have a running game. But there's still some excitement
1:52:41
Speaker 2: there as far as the Browns are concerned. I feel
1:52:45
Speaker 2: good about the season so far. Let me put it
1:52:48
Speaker 2: that way.
1:52:48
Speaker 3: They don't have a running game, Ron.
1:52:52
Speaker 2: Stand by. I've got to pause. I'll come back to
1:52:54
Speaker 2: you in just a minute. I mean, it's... It was
1:52:57
Speaker 2: a great weekend sports-wise. I'll get into that momentarily. Got
1:53:01
Speaker 2: a pause here. NewsRadio 570 WKB. Got a message coming
1:53:03
Speaker 2: up from– were you ever a patient of Dr. Mandy
1:53:08
Speaker 2: Ward for your eyeglasses optometrist? She's now located in Salem.
1:53:14
Speaker 2: She's now joined– The Matthews Eye Group, Maureen Matthews, one
1:53:19
Speaker 2: of the best eye doctors out there. And Mandy Ward,
1:53:22
Speaker 2: many people say, where's Mandy Ward? She's in Salem now
1:53:25
Speaker 2: as your optometrist, and you can make an appointment down there.
1:53:27
Speaker 2: Here's details from me. Hi, this is Ron Verb. If
1:53:34
Speaker 2: you're looking for exceptional eye, will you KBN? And your
1:53:38
Speaker 2: fearless leader, Ron Furb from the Kingdom of Mahoning here. 525,
1:53:42
Speaker 2: 72 degrees. Focus of the nation today is on our
1:53:47
Speaker 2: neck of the woods. As I've said numerous times, Bubba Ganush,
1:53:50
Speaker 2: and I'll say it again, this community is extremely important
1:53:54
Speaker 2: in these major elections. I mean, it was extremely important
1:53:57
Speaker 2: in the Trump victory each time that took place, Mahoning, Trumbull,
1:54:02
Speaker 2: Columbiana counties. Very important. It was very important for The
1:54:08
Speaker 2: loss of Tim Ryan is when he was running for
1:54:12
Speaker 2: the Senate, right, against– Jesus' name is– J.D.
1:54:19
Speaker 3: Vance.
1:54:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, was it J.D. Vance? Was he running against Vance or– well, whatever.
1:54:26
Speaker 2: But Tim Ryan lost. And it was– this area was
1:54:30
Speaker 2: very vital to it. I mean– and this is an
1:54:33
Speaker 2: important area now when– excuse me– when Trump's coming to town–
1:54:38
Speaker 2: really to say, okay, I'm not on the ballot, but
1:54:42
Speaker 2: I'm here to say don't vote for Sherrod Brown more
1:54:45
Speaker 2: than likely, and so don't vote for Amy Acton. I
1:54:48
Speaker 2: suspect he's going to be talking about, I mean, talking
1:54:52
Speaker 2: about obviously what's going on in the country, but also
1:54:54
Speaker 2: he's going to be putting in a campaign shout for
1:54:57
Speaker 2: those guys, right?
1:54:58
Speaker 3: Hey, I got one that you don't know he's going
1:55:01
Speaker 3: to talk about. When Barack Obama was president, he screwed
1:55:07
Speaker 3: all the– pack of electric salaried people and took their pension.
1:55:14
Speaker 3: And it's just been sitting there. And, you know, my
1:55:17
Speaker 3: brother's one of them, so that's how I know. So
1:55:20
Speaker 3: he's going to be talking about getting that back to
1:55:22
Speaker 3: these pack of electric white-collar workers.
1:55:26
Speaker 2: You know, as you talk about that, that's been talked
1:55:29
Speaker 2: about for the longest time. We were paying the pensions
1:55:34
Speaker 2: of the people in the Ukraine... At the time, we
1:55:37
Speaker 2: were screwing the people from Packard.
1:55:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, how about that?
1:55:40
Speaker 2: Well, the reality is, I hate to say it, but
1:55:43
Speaker 2: many of those people have passed on. And granted, there's
1:55:46
Speaker 2: still a lot of.
1:55:47
Speaker 3: Well, they've got family.
1:55:48
Speaker 2: Right, but I mean, it was really just... As time
1:55:53
Speaker 2: marches on.
1:55:54
Speaker 3: Barack Obama. Barack Obama did that. Barack Obama and his mama.
1:55:59
Speaker 2: I don't know if that was Obama or what. I can't.
1:56:02
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:56:03
Speaker 3: Don't you remember what he did with GM?
1:56:05
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:56:09
Speaker 3: You know what?
1:56:10
Speaker 6: I got a memory.
1:56:11
Speaker 3: You don't. So listen to me. He's going to be
1:56:13
Speaker 3: talking about it tonight.
1:56:15
Speaker 2: You think?
1:56:16
Speaker 3: Oh, no. How do you know? Because my brother sent
1:56:19
Speaker 3: me something, and I said yes immediately. I want this, and,
1:56:24
Speaker 3: you know, it's like a thing from his website. Yes,
1:56:27
Speaker 3: I want. So he's trying to get a lot of
1:56:28
Speaker 3: people saying yes, they want this, you know.
1:56:31
Speaker 2: Right. I'm surprised you didn't make time to go down
1:56:33
Speaker 2: there and be in a crowd.
1:56:36
Speaker 3: What? Oh, you've got to be kidding me. And listen.
1:56:38
Speaker 2: What do you mean? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
1:56:42
Speaker 2: What do you mean I've got to be kidding?
1:56:44
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, because if there's DSA people down there,
1:56:47
Speaker 3: I can't go because I can't bring my nine with
1:56:50
Speaker 3: me soon.
1:56:50
Speaker 2: Well, you know, you can't bring a gun, obviously. I mean,
1:56:54
Speaker 2: you don't need to bring that to go to a rally.
1:56:56
Speaker 3: I don't like those people. I don't like their thinking.
1:56:59
Speaker 3: What people? They want to destroy this country.
1:57:02
Speaker 2: Oh, but I'm talking about you going to the Trump rally.
1:57:06
Speaker 3: I'm not worried about that. I've been to many rallies.
1:57:08
Speaker 3: I'm not worried about that. I've been on television.
1:57:11
Speaker 2: This is the buzz. This is the buzz in your community.
1:57:17
Speaker 2: I'll be curious to see how many people show up.
1:57:20
Speaker 3: How many times did I run for state rep?
1:57:22
Speaker 2: Seems like a couple.
1:57:25
Speaker 3: Okay. How many times did I win?
1:57:30
Speaker 2: I can't remember any, but that's regardless, because as far
1:57:34
Speaker 2: as I'm concerned, you put your hat in the ring.
1:57:37
Speaker 2: I thought you ran a good campaign. I voted for you,
1:57:41
Speaker 2: and so you didn't win. All right.
1:57:44
Speaker 3: That's right.
1:57:45
Speaker 12: Yeah.
1:57:46
Speaker 2: You still would have been a better choice.
1:57:49
Speaker 3: No, I know that, but the community didn't support me
1:57:53
Speaker 3: to win.
1:57:54
Speaker 2: You lost to Lauren McNally, right?
1:57:56
Speaker 3: No. No, Hagan, Mrs. Hagan.
1:58:00
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Good God.
1:58:03
Speaker 6: Yeah.
1:58:04
Speaker 2: Think of all she's done.
1:58:06
Speaker 3: What did she do, by the way?
1:58:08
Speaker 2: Nothing I can think of.
1:58:10
Speaker 3: Oh, she put flags on the bridges. That's right.
1:58:12
Speaker 2: You know, not much I can think of. You know,
1:58:16
Speaker 2: it's like they say Lauren McNally has one of the
1:58:18
Speaker 2: worst attendance records down in Columbus. Now she wants to
1:58:21
Speaker 2: be commissioner. I don't get it.
1:58:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's a state rep.
1:58:27
Speaker 2: I know.
1:58:29
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no. You know that, no. Yeah, yeah.
1:58:31
Speaker 3: The commissioner should be, should be that other woman.
1:58:35
Speaker 24: What's her name?
1:58:36
Speaker 3: I voted for her.
1:58:37
Speaker 2: Oliver.
1:58:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, Christine Oliver.
1:58:40
Speaker 2: All right. There you go. Bubba Ganoush. Back in a minute.

1:59:53
Speaker 1: All right, from NewsRadio 570 WKBN, 535 on Monday, October 12th,
1:59:56
Speaker 1: 72 degrees, a beautiful day.
1:59:57
Speaker 2: Great day for people that are waiting in line and
1:59:58
Speaker 2: what have you at the Covelli Center. Let's find out
2:00:11
Speaker 2: what's going on down there. G2, our man on the
2:00:13
Speaker 2: streets down at Covelli. G2, what's going on?
2:00:17
Speaker 5: Well, the program has started, and they're singing the national
2:00:21
Speaker 5: anthem now. And so things are on their way. The
2:00:25
Speaker 5: doors are still open. Sounds like Trump is probably going
2:00:28
Speaker 5: to speak around 7 p.m. But the crowd is continuously growing.
2:00:34
Speaker 5: It's great. Oh, and since... The last few minutes, Bernie
2:00:38
Speaker 5: Marino showed up. So you've got really a lot of
2:00:42
Speaker 5: folks from around the state that are here. So it's
2:00:45
Speaker 5: pretty cool. It's a great night.
2:00:47
Speaker 2: And all of those people, obviously, I'll pause for just
2:00:50
Speaker 2: a second. I apologize to you for going to you
2:00:53
Speaker 2: during the national anthem. I didn't know that that was on.
2:00:57
Speaker 2: But with that being said, many of those people that
2:01:01
Speaker 2: are running will speak before. Wait a minute. We'll speak
2:01:06
Speaker 2: before Trump, obviously. They say he's not going to speak
2:01:09
Speaker 2: now until 7. Have you heard that?
2:01:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, I believe that's right. I think it's 7 o'clock
2:01:14
Speaker 5: that he's going to speak. And, you know, so they've
2:01:18
Speaker 5: already started with the first candidate that has been up
2:01:21
Speaker 5: to top. And it'll run from here. I don't know
2:01:26
Speaker 5: who's in the lineup because I just haven't. paid attention
2:01:29
Speaker 5: to the details.
2:01:33
Speaker 2: I would imagine a lot of those statewide candidates that
2:01:37
Speaker 2: are running, including Ramaswamy, I would assume all of those
2:01:41
Speaker 2: people will speak before Trump would speak at 7 o'clock.
2:01:46
Speaker 2: And maybe even some local candidates. You would think that
2:01:51
Speaker 2: all the statewide candidates would speak, then some local candidates...
2:01:55
Speaker 2: And then Trump is supposed to speak at seven o'clock
2:01:58
Speaker 2: then tonight, as I understand. Can you get a read
2:02:03
Speaker 2: on the crowd at all?
2:02:06
Speaker 5: Well, I sent you a picture from one angle. You know,
2:02:11
Speaker 5: this thing was planned about 10 days ago and around 445,
2:02:14
Speaker 5: I would say that the venue was at least, I
2:02:17
Speaker 5: don't know, 60%. So I don't, you know, some of
2:02:20
Speaker 5: it's blocked off, obviously, as they always do. But it's,
2:02:24
Speaker 5: It's a good-sized crowd for something that happened so quickly.
2:02:28
Speaker 2: Excellent. All right, so obviously we'll be on the air
2:02:32
Speaker 2: until 6 and the Rockport show until 7. Obviously, we'll
2:02:36
Speaker 2: get a full report from you tomorrow, if you don't mind,
2:02:39
Speaker 2: as far as Trump's remarks and what you thought about
2:02:42
Speaker 2: his remarks in the crowd.
2:02:44
Speaker 5: And also Vivek. I'm really interested in what Vivek has
2:02:48
Speaker 5: to say because we've talked a lot about the challenges
2:02:50
Speaker 5: he's got As he's talked favorably about H-1Bs, a real
2:02:54
Speaker 5: problem for a lot of voters. He's talked about increasing population,
2:02:58
Speaker 5: which has left people very uncomfortable. You know, I'm going
2:03:01
Speaker 5: to be interested to see how he addresses those two
2:03:04
Speaker 5: issues specifically.
2:03:06
Speaker 2: Or if he addresses them at all tonight, you know,
2:03:09
Speaker 2: in a campaign speech. I don't know that he will.
2:03:13
Speaker 5: That's a fair point. He may not. And so that's
2:03:17
Speaker 5: going to be interesting. I think some of these candidates,
2:03:20
Speaker 5: it's going to be really interesting to see how they
2:03:22
Speaker 5: address the issue. And I mentioned before that the shared
2:03:25
Speaker 5: ground has a billboard up talking about inflation. Well, it's
2:03:31
Speaker 5: every policy he ever voted for that caused it. And
2:03:33
Speaker 5: somehow he's pretending that now he's going to reverse it.
2:03:37
Speaker 5: It's remarkable to see how they manage the messaging.
2:03:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, is it– let me see here. I would think, G2,
2:03:46
Speaker 2: that Senator Houston would speak as well since he's running,
2:03:52
Speaker 2: as well as Bernie Marino. Wouldn't you?
2:03:55
Speaker 5: I do think, yeah, I think Bernie will speak, and
2:03:57
Speaker 5: I suspect John Houston will speak. Some of the folks
2:04:00
Speaker 5: that are here told me that he's coming. I just
2:04:02
Speaker 5: haven't seen him, so I don't know.
2:04:04
Speaker 12: Yeah.
2:04:07
Speaker 2: I mean, very interesting. I mean, so Bernie Marino's there.
2:04:11
Speaker 2: I would certainly think John Husted would speak. I would
2:04:14
Speaker 2: think that it's going to be interesting. Did you see
2:04:17
Speaker 2: the governor at all, DeWine?
2:04:19
Speaker 5: I have not seen the governor, no. I don't.
2:04:21
Speaker 2: I don't.
2:04:22
Speaker 5: I have not seen. I frankly didn't even think of him,
2:04:26
Speaker 5: to be honest with you. I guess I expected him
2:04:28
Speaker 5: to be somewhere down in Haiti.
2:04:30
Speaker 6: Huh.
2:04:30
Speaker 5: You know, he has a school in Haiti. You like
2:04:35
Speaker 5: rotations down in Springfield. You know, I've got some serious
2:04:39
Speaker 5: policy problems with this guy, but I have not seen him.
2:04:43
Speaker 5: But that's an interesting one. I'll watch for him and see.
2:04:47
Speaker 13: If he appears.
2:04:48
Speaker 2: You're on a roll now. I didn't know you'd be
2:04:52
Speaker 2: doing reporting and comedy all at the same time. I mean,
2:05:00
Speaker 2: so a lot of these things, though, obviously is a
2:05:02
Speaker 2: good exposure for local, for statewide candidates and some of
2:05:07
Speaker 2: the local candidates, perhaps Tom McCabe will speak or some
2:05:10
Speaker 2: of the local candidates will get up for a short
2:05:12
Speaker 2: period of time and make their pitch to the crowd
2:05:15
Speaker 2: before Trump arrives. Now, seven o'clock, these things like you
2:05:20
Speaker 2: were saying, like we're saying the other day, they always
2:05:22
Speaker 2: run late, don't they?
2:05:24
Speaker 5: Never run a little bit late, but, you know, it
2:05:25
Speaker 5: just comes around whenever it's the security works for Trump, right?
2:05:30
Speaker 5: And Tom McCabe is here. And so I'm not sure
2:05:32
Speaker 5: if he's speaking or not. I didn't ask him. But
2:05:35
Speaker 5: he's here. And so it is really good. And think
2:05:39
Speaker 5: about this. Before Trump started doing rallies, I don't know
2:05:43
Speaker 5: of any other venue, any other kind of event where
2:05:46
Speaker 5: this kind of numbers came together for a political discussion.
2:05:50
Speaker 5: You know, for any candidate, you never saw 10 or
2:05:53
Speaker 5: 20,000 people in a rural arena or in a place
2:05:57
Speaker 5: like Covelli Center. You know, in a big metropolitan market,
2:06:01
Speaker 5: maybe you'd see, you know, in a Philadelphia or in
2:06:04
Speaker 5: a Baltimore, you'd see, you know, 30,000 people. That just
2:06:08
Speaker 5: never happened unless you were Taylor Swift. And it's remarkable
2:06:12
Speaker 5: that Trump has been able to get these people motivated
2:06:14
Speaker 5: and out. Of course, the Democrats have something like the
2:06:19
Speaker 5: No Kings rally, their get-out-the-vote effort where they pretend that
2:06:22
Speaker 5: they don't like kings. And, of course, their policies all
2:06:24
Speaker 5: lead to tyranny, so the logic isn't there. But they
2:06:27
Speaker 5: spent $ 300 million on those things. They spent $ 300 million.
2:06:34
Speaker 5: These things are done at a fraction of the cost,
2:06:37
Speaker 5: and yet these people are all showing up, and they're
2:06:38
Speaker 5: not getting paid to be here. Of course, with the
2:06:40
Speaker 5: Democrat things, many of them are paid to be there.
2:06:42
Speaker 5: So it is an interesting paradigm to watch how the
2:06:46
Speaker 5: average American is connecting to these issues and demanding changes.
2:06:51
Speaker 5: And look, some of them are unhappy with this second term,
2:06:54
Speaker 5: that they haven't had the America First agenda legislated and
2:06:58
Speaker 5: fast enough. They haven't had some of the successes they
2:07:02
Speaker 5: were hoping for. And then, of course, you've got the war,
2:07:04
Speaker 5: the Epstein files. There have been some real speed bumps
2:07:07
Speaker 5: along the way. But the truth is, you know, I
2:07:11
Speaker 5: think the folks that are here realize that if you're
2:07:14
Speaker 5: in this fight, it's a long-term fight. You're not going
2:07:16
Speaker 5: to get this all done in 18 months. And the
2:07:18
Speaker 5: Republican Party, it's guys like Rooley and Scott Perry in
2:07:22
Speaker 5: Pennsylvania and guys like that that have to keep pushing
2:07:26
Speaker 5: the party to get these agendas implemented. So it is
2:07:29
Speaker 5: a battle. You really have to think of this like war.
2:07:32
Speaker 5: And you really have to think long-term. So, you know,
2:07:35
Speaker 5: to the folks that are saying, well, I'm not going
2:07:37
Speaker 5: to vote because I'm unhappy. Listen, we don't have the
2:07:39
Speaker 5: luxury of sitting on our canes. We've got to get
2:07:42
Speaker 5: out and make a decision.
2:07:44
Speaker 2: Absolutely. And you don't want to go back to the
2:07:47
Speaker 2: lunatic policies of the Democrats, of the open border, of
2:07:51
Speaker 2: the transgenderism, of we've got to hire on anything but merit,
2:07:55
Speaker 2: of the attack on fossil fuels. I mean, you don't
2:07:59
Speaker 2: want to go back. to it. The craziness will just
2:08:02
Speaker 2: come back. Ripping down statues, renaming Fort Hood. Do I
2:08:07
Speaker 2: need to say more? The transgenderism, the attack on fossil fuels,
2:08:12
Speaker 2: the craziness that we all saw during the Biden administration.
2:08:17
Speaker 2: More government, more taxes and that kind of stuff. I
2:08:20
Speaker 2: don't think if you think that's the alternative, then perhaps
2:08:24
Speaker 2: you need to have your head examined. Would you agree?
2:08:27
Speaker 3: I would.
2:08:27
Speaker 5: And remember, you know, in our first discussion today, you
2:08:29
Speaker 5: mentioned the discussion I have with Greg Vivino and You know,
2:08:32
Speaker 5: when you get into talking about something as heinous as
2:08:35
Speaker 5: what was happening with trafficked children into this country as
2:08:38
Speaker 5: an institutionalized industrial-scale activity, it's something that's unimaginable that would
2:08:44
Speaker 5: happen in the United States. But, you know, we were
2:08:47
Speaker 5: talking through the– you've heard me say a lot of
2:08:49
Speaker 5: times there is no such thing as an unaccompanied minor, and,
2:08:51
Speaker 5: of course, Bovino confirmed that, right? And it's unimaginable that
2:08:57
Speaker 5: in the country that we call home– Those kinds of
2:09:00
Speaker 5: things happen. But that was just 18 months ago.
2:09:03
Speaker 3: Yeah.
2:09:04
Speaker 5: So we've got to lean into this fight. We've got
2:09:08
Speaker 5: to be making decisions, even when it's not fun. And,
2:09:12
Speaker 5: you know, if the election's on November 3, then on
2:09:14
Speaker 5: November 4, you have to look at the outcome and say, OK,
2:09:16
Speaker 5: now what difference can I make next? What can I
2:09:19
Speaker 5: do to further... Fight for the right thing.
2:09:23
Speaker 2: As an American, even if you're a lesser of two evils,
2:09:26
Speaker 2: Trump would be the lesser of two evils in anybody's
2:09:29
Speaker 2: eyes versus going back to the lunatic policies of the Democrat. Hell,
2:09:33
Speaker 2: even Bill Maher makes a good case for that. I
2:09:37
Speaker 2: don't see how you could view it any other way.
2:09:40
Speaker 2: And did you get any sense, G2, on the other line,
2:09:44
Speaker 2: where they're talking about– I was watching– I wish I
2:09:47
Speaker 2: could tell you that it was a woman that does–
2:09:54
Speaker 2: she's no Trump fan said that she had talked to
2:09:57
Speaker 2: one of the negotiators for Iran and he was saying
2:10:00
Speaker 2: basically that Iran has agreed to no nuclear weapons and
2:10:06
Speaker 2: getting rid of the dust and all this kind of stuff.
2:10:08
Speaker 2: Had you heard any of that?
2:10:09
Speaker 3: I have.
2:10:10
Speaker 24: I've talked to a couple of generals and colonels and
2:10:14
Speaker 24: admirals some folks like that, about four of them and
2:10:18
Speaker 24: gone through exactly what's going on inside that country and
2:10:21
Speaker 24: from our side It is very difficult to maintain a blockade,
2:10:25
Speaker 24: and yet our team.
2:10:25
Speaker 5: Is doing it, which is incredible. And what no one
2:10:28
Speaker 5: is reporting and many are lying about is the pressures
2:10:31
Speaker 5: inside Peru. You've got hyperinflation. Eggs are up 432%. You
2:10:35
Speaker 5: think we have it rough? They can't even get the
2:10:38
Speaker 5: food that they need. They can't pay the bureaucrats. They
2:10:41
Speaker 5: can't pay the IRGC. This blockade and 47 years of
2:10:46
Speaker 5: economic pressure has really hurt them. They can't export or
2:10:50
Speaker 5: import not just oil, but anything. They can't bring in weapons.
2:10:53
Speaker 5: They can't bring in anything in large numbers. Of course,
2:10:56
Speaker 5: some of it squeaks out on the eastern side or
2:10:58
Speaker 5: northern side of the country, but the Persian Gulf, they're
2:11:01
Speaker 5: not getting much out. Meanwhile, the U.S. has escorted, I think,
2:11:05
Speaker 5: 200 ships through the strait. So materials are moving. And
2:11:09
Speaker 5: Iran is now, if you listen to the gentleman who
2:11:12
Speaker 5: was just interviewed when he was at the U.N., and
2:11:14
Speaker 5: he did two or three interviews, and I caught one
2:11:16
Speaker 5: or two of them, And this guy was laying it
2:11:19
Speaker 5: out clearly. They clearly are prepared to have a conversation.
2:11:23
Speaker 5: They're not going to allow their regime to completely collapse
2:11:27
Speaker 5: over a nuclear program that wasn't really in existence anyway.
2:11:32
Speaker 5: They know that the Saudis, all of the Sunni nations,
2:11:35
Speaker 5: will not allow them to have control of the strait.
2:11:38
Speaker 5: The strait has to be international waters, open and free
2:11:41
Speaker 5: for everyone to use. The Saudis are saying it, others
2:11:44
Speaker 5: are saying it. Now, the Houthis have done a really
2:11:47
Speaker 5: good job of working into the coastline down there in Yemen.
2:11:52
Speaker 5: But the truth is that war has been going on
2:11:54
Speaker 5: long before this thing in Iran started. It's one of
2:11:58
Speaker 5: the reasons why the fight in Iran started. The Saudis
2:12:01
Speaker 5: have been fighting in Yemen for a long time, although
2:12:03
Speaker 5: they hire people to fight as you know. But they've
2:12:05
Speaker 5: been down there trying to prosecute this war with the
2:12:07
Speaker 5: Yemeni government fighting the Houthis. And that's got to get settled, too,
2:12:12
Speaker 5: because you can't have that Mandeb down at the bottom
2:12:17
Speaker 5: of the Red Sea. You can't have that under the
2:12:19
Speaker 5: same kind of threat and constriction that you have right
2:12:23
Speaker 5: now on the Strait of Hormuz. This has to be open,
2:12:25
Speaker 5: free water. And I think the ancillary benefit that could
2:12:29
Speaker 5: come from this is that those issues that have been
2:12:32
Speaker 5: plaguing the Middle East for many, many years will finally
2:12:34
Speaker 5: be resolved. And maybe, just maybe, Iran will agree enough
2:12:39
Speaker 5: to be following the rules of the road that they
2:12:42
Speaker 5: will be able to join the community of nations. And
2:12:44
Speaker 5: that means rather than selling to China through ghost ship
2:12:47
Speaker 5: leads at 20 percent discounts, they're going to be able
2:12:49
Speaker 5: to sell at full market price into the open markets.
2:12:52
Speaker 5: For Iran, that would be a tremendous, tremendous win. Now,
2:12:57
Speaker 5: you know, we also know. that that nation isn't really Persian.
2:13:01
Speaker 5: It's like 50% to 60% Persian. And even, you know,
2:13:07
Speaker 5: Azerbaijanis and Armenians, there are a lot of different ethnic
2:13:10
Speaker 5: groups in that country. And so it's not homogenous. They
2:13:13
Speaker 5: are not aligned. And they're facing tremendous stress from that side, too.
2:13:17
Speaker 5: I mentioned, I think, last week that we've been hearing
2:13:20
Speaker 5: things about the Kurds beginning to get active again. Anybody
2:13:24
Speaker 5: that is listening... but knows that the Kurds are tough.
2:13:27
Speaker 5: I mean, these people are not to be fooled with.
2:13:31
Speaker 5: And we have been backing the Kurds for decades. So
2:13:35
Speaker 5: this isn't the playing field that we've been told where,
2:13:38
Speaker 5: you know, it's already over. The Iranians have won. They're
2:13:42
Speaker 5: facing incredible internal stress that they're going to have to address.
2:13:46
Speaker 5: So I'm hopeful that Trump can get to an agreement
2:13:49
Speaker 5: with the Iranians that the strait gets reopened. that the
2:13:52
Speaker 5: fertilizer begins to flow again, or the elements of fertilizer
2:13:55
Speaker 5: begin to flow again, the oil flows again, and we
2:13:58
Speaker 5: don't just get back to the way it was, but
2:14:00
Speaker 5: rather we get into a better position.
2:14:02
Speaker 2: It seems to me if Martha Brennan, I think is
2:14:05
Speaker 2: her name, or that was the woman I was thinking of,
2:14:10
Speaker 2: that you see that certainly no Trump supporter, let me
2:14:12
Speaker 2: put it that way. But she was the one saying,
2:14:15
Speaker 2: she hosts one of those Sunday morning shows. She was
2:14:18
Speaker 2: the one that was talking to the guy that was
2:14:21
Speaker 2: involved in the Iran negotiations, who basically has said that
2:14:25
Speaker 2: that has been agreed to. There will be no nuclear
2:14:27
Speaker 2: weapon and there will be no, you know, the dust
2:14:30
Speaker 2: I hear all about and this kind of stuff in Iran.
2:14:33
Speaker 2: If that has been agreed to and negotiated successfully, I
2:14:37
Speaker 2: would imagine there's not a whole lot more to negotiate
2:14:42
Speaker 2: to reach a settlement. If he can get that done,
2:14:46
Speaker 2: get the Strait back open, no tariffs on going through
2:14:49
Speaker 2: the Strait, and no nuclear weapons, I don't know how
2:14:52
Speaker 2: you could only score that as a huge win for Trump,
2:14:55
Speaker 2: would you not?
2:14:56
Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely.
2:14:58
Speaker 5: And if along the way, again, the Houthis, the Hamas,
2:15:01
Speaker 5: and the Hezbollah folks are somehow no longer going to
2:15:07
Speaker 5: be lobbing rockets. Now, that issue with Israel and Hamas,
2:15:12
Speaker 5: what's going on down in Gaza is hard to look at.
2:15:18
Speaker 5: But if that gets solved as well, then it's a
2:15:21
Speaker 5: home run. But if he just gets the oil to
2:15:24
Speaker 5: flow and he gets this agreement, then I think... it's
2:15:32
Speaker 5: going to be a win. We'll be better off. There
2:15:35
Speaker 5: is no world in which we can have Iran have
2:15:37
Speaker 5: a nuclear weapon. We've all agreed with that for 20 years.
2:15:40
Speaker 5: That's not new. If this comes out right, that will
2:15:43
Speaker 5: now be locked in even more so than it was
2:15:45
Speaker 5: when Trump pulled out of that crazy Obama deal.
2:15:49
Speaker 2: Right.
2:15:51
Speaker 5: By the way, that deal was set up in a way,
2:15:53
Speaker 5: if you listen to the secretaries that were in the
2:15:55
Speaker 5: administration at the time, That deal was set up in
2:15:57
Speaker 5: a way that would have guaranteed Iran to get them wrong.
2:16:00
Speaker 5: If you listen to it, you really paid attention. It
2:16:02
Speaker 5: was that was that deal is terrifying. Trump pulling out
2:16:05
Speaker 5: of it was a smart play.
2:16:08
Speaker 2: As I understand it, it's kind of some of that
2:16:11
Speaker 2: interview where she was talking to the. negotiator or the
2:16:15
Speaker 2: one of the guys from iran not only would they
2:16:17
Speaker 2: not agree not to have a nuclear weapon they would
2:16:19
Speaker 2: also agree to have inspections done with american inspectors being
2:16:23
Speaker 2: part of the team to do that those if if
2:16:26
Speaker 2: that is accurate those are two major concessions that that
2:16:30
Speaker 2: they have made and it seems what you were saying
2:16:34
Speaker 2: that that they got them on the ropes as far
2:16:36
Speaker 2: as um opened and negotiating. Let me do my break.
2:16:41
Speaker 2: Can you a few more minutes?
2:16:42
Speaker 25: Can you do it?
2:16:43
Speaker 14: Sure.
2:16:43
Speaker 2: Let me do that. All right. G2 live from the
2:16:45
Speaker 2: Covelli Center waiting for the Trump appearance and a full
2:16:49
Speaker 2: report you'll have on that tomorrow. Back after this.
2:16:52
Speaker 9: I heart radio.
2:16:54
Speaker 10: Replace your old bathtub.
2:16:56
Speaker 1: Weather and talk station 570 WKBN.
2:16:58
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, all of this with that Martha Brennan.
2:17:04
Speaker 2: talking to this guy to say, okay, we're going to
2:17:07
Speaker 2: be at this point with no nuclear weapons, with American inspectors,
2:17:11
Speaker 2: and if they can move this along and get an agreement,
2:17:14
Speaker 2: and then with Trump having the diesel come in from Russia,
2:17:19
Speaker 2: and if you get an agreement, you can see prices
2:17:21
Speaker 2: drop pretty dramatically, and I would think the stock market
2:17:24
Speaker 2: soar before the midterms. I don't know, but there is
2:17:29
Speaker 2: that possibility, possibly, right?
2:17:32
Speaker 5: It is a possibility that it could happen in weeks
2:17:35
Speaker 5: from some of the folks that I've talked to who
2:17:37
Speaker 5: were talking to folks over there. And if that does happen,
2:17:39
Speaker 5: then the next move has to be, we've already talked
2:17:41
Speaker 5: about this, we have got to prioritize the building of
2:17:44
Speaker 5: refining that has to be on the east and west
2:17:46
Speaker 5: coast to take the pressure off of the facilities that
2:17:49
Speaker 5: are still operating. and at levels that are not sustainable.
2:17:52
Speaker 5: And so you're absolutely right. This is what could happen. And,
2:17:55
Speaker 5: you know, sometimes we have to just accept a little
2:17:57
Speaker 5: bit that something good might happen. I understand that the
2:18:00
Speaker 5: people who hate Trump can't accept it. The people that
2:18:02
Speaker 5: want the United States to fail can't accept it. I
2:18:05
Speaker 5: understand the people that hate Israel can't accept it. But
2:18:07
Speaker 5: sometimes there's a possibility something good should happen, and we
2:18:11
Speaker 5: should allow that. Now, I'll tell you one more thing.
2:18:13
Speaker 5: The last time I was in town... I made it
2:18:16
Speaker 5: to the fireplace so that something good could happen. And
2:18:18
Speaker 5: I had that Tuscan chicken with that sausage in there.
2:18:21
Speaker 5: And then he broke out a bourbon that was killer.
2:18:26
Speaker 5: I had some great bourbon.
2:18:28
Speaker 13: I don't know if I'm.
2:18:28
Speaker 5: Going to make it back this trip because of the
2:18:30
Speaker 5: way timing is working out. Sometimes we've got to let
2:18:33
Speaker 5: good things happen. And I'm going to tell you, man,
2:18:35
Speaker 5: it was fabulous.
2:18:36
Speaker 2: Just as a side note, and I want to talk
2:18:39
Speaker 2: about it tomorrow, what about this firing squad execution of
2:18:43
Speaker 2: the guy that, and at the same time that that
2:18:46
Speaker 2: guy did the murders December 3rd, 2026 at Fort Hood?
2:18:53
Speaker 2: I'm all for it.
2:18:56
Speaker 5: I've got to tell you, what that man did is
2:18:58
Speaker 5: so heinous, so egregious. I'm okay with it. I understand
2:19:02
Speaker 5: it makes Americans queasy, but at some point we have
2:19:05
Speaker 5: to realize we live in a harsh world, and we
2:19:07
Speaker 5: have to stand up for this nation, and that's going
2:19:10
Speaker 5: to take harsh action. And, you know, I say do it.
2:19:15
Speaker 2: And I've got to tell you, I was looking at
2:19:16
Speaker 2: the picture that you sent from Covelli. I mean, you've
2:19:19
Speaker 2: got to admit, it's a pretty decent-sized crowd. Now, of course,
2:19:22
Speaker 2: the media will always be negative on it when it
2:19:25
Speaker 2: comes to the crowd, but as you pointed out, in
2:19:28
Speaker 2: my lifetime... Maybe when I was very young, the only
2:19:33
Speaker 2: guy that drew huge crowds was probably John F. Kennedy,
2:19:36
Speaker 2: maybe Ronald Reagan. But for somebody to draw this type
2:19:40
Speaker 2: of crowd that Trump is drawing, the picture that you
2:19:43
Speaker 2: sent me is pretty impressive for people to show up
2:19:46
Speaker 2: for something like that, even if no one else comes
2:19:50
Speaker 2: based on what I see. But the media will always
2:19:52
Speaker 2: portray it negatively.
2:19:53
Speaker 3: Well, that's right.
2:19:54
Speaker 5: Remember, that was an hour and 15 or an hour
2:19:56
Speaker 5: and a half ago. So since that time, a lot
2:19:59
Speaker 5: of folks have still rolled in. So when I get
2:20:02
Speaker 5: back in the arena, I'll see what it looks like.
2:20:05
Speaker 5: But I've got to tell you, 10 days, Monday, beautiful day,
2:20:09
Speaker 5: and this place is filled like this. People dancing.
2:20:12
Speaker 21: It's amazing.
2:20:13
Speaker 5: This is the kind of energy that this country needs.
2:20:16
Speaker 5: We need to be happy again. And right now, tonight,
2:20:19
Speaker 5: in this place, we're doing it.
2:20:20
Speaker 2: And we look forward to your analysis on it tomorrow,
2:20:23
Speaker 2: you know, of how it went, the speech, and kind
2:20:27
Speaker 2: of your assessment of it all and your thoughts if
2:20:30
Speaker 2: you join us tomorrow.
2:20:31
Speaker 5: All right.
