The Ron Verb Show - 4pm Hour - Tuesday, 08/18/26 · Ron Verb

0:01
Speaker 1: But my point of this is over the years, I've
0:03
Speaker 1: watched all these administrations, all these presidents, whether Democrat or Republican,
0:07
Speaker 1: they didn't really seem to give a damn about spending
0:10
Speaker 1: the money that they didn't have and causing a debt
0:12
Speaker 1: and deficit. They just simply didn't care. And this idea
0:19
Speaker 1: of pork being out there, it was like it just
0:23
Speaker 1: kept growing and growing and continues to grow. And we
0:26
Speaker 1: continue to have this huge debt and deficit, which we
0:28
Speaker 1: strap future generations with. It is a damn shame that
0:31
Speaker 1: our second biggest expense is just the interest on our debt.
0:36
Speaker 1: We're not lowering the amount we owe. We're just paying
0:39
Speaker 1: interest on it. The only thing that costs us more
0:42
Speaker 1: than that is Social Security. Well, if interest rates go
0:48
Speaker 1: up and we continue to go further in the hole,
0:50
Speaker 1: it will be our number one expense. Well, at what
0:53
Speaker 1: point do you lower the $ 40 trillion mark or stop
0:56
Speaker 1: increasing it and lower it down and say we can't
1:00
Speaker 1: afford to do any of this stuff anymore? We simply
1:05
Speaker 1: can't afford it because economically we're going to destroy this country.
1:10
Speaker 1: And it's well on its way. And it will affect
1:14
Speaker 1: all of us. I don't give a damn if you're
1:15
Speaker 1: Republican or Democrat or what you're invested in. And it
1:19
Speaker 1: will be life-changing. But the reality was, as I was
1:30
Speaker 1: saying yesterday, we never hold anybody accountable for anything. I
1:34
Speaker 1: always hear the political talk, we're going to get to
1:36
Speaker 1: the bottom of it. No one ever goes to jail.
1:38
Speaker 1: Nobody ever pays a price. What about the politics of
1:42
Speaker 1: the Russian hoax for three years? Anybody go to jail?
1:44
Speaker 1: Anybody held accountable? What about Fauci and funding this COVID
1:51
Speaker 1: crap in China and the lies that he told? Anybody
1:54
Speaker 1: held accountable? Anybody going to jail? Other than the talk
1:58
Speaker 1: of it and the pounding of the table, nothing ever happens.
2:02
Speaker 1: What about the Epstein files? What about all of that craziness?
2:06
Speaker 1: Anybody go to jail?
2:08
Speaker 2: Nope.
2:11
Speaker 1: Do I think anybody will?
2:12
Speaker 3: Nope.
2:17
Speaker 1: So I look around and it's just political bull crap.
2:20
Speaker 1: We don't hold people accountable. They don't go to jail.
2:22
Speaker 1: They get away with it. It has a big effect
2:25
Speaker 1: on our whole country. double standard of justice when it
2:28
Speaker 1: comes to the Epstein situation, political bull crap of holding
2:33
Speaker 1: anybody accountable that puts this country through hell for three years,
2:37
Speaker 1: trying to act like Russia influenced our election because they
2:40
Speaker 1: hate Trump. And this is what I look when I
2:46
Speaker 1: look around. So it doesn't matter Republican or Democrat. They
2:54
Speaker 1: just don't, go after the people who should be going after,
2:58
Speaker 1: and I don't care if they're Democrat or Republican, and
3:00
Speaker 1: should go to jail with Epstein, with COVID. But think
3:05
Speaker 1: how COVID changed everything for the worse. It was Fauci
3:09
Speaker 1: and the funding and any people dying alone without their
3:12
Speaker 1: family members around, lives that could have been saved with
3:15
Speaker 1: ivermectin and hydrochloroquine. Was anybody held accountable for this?
3:20
Speaker 4: No.
3:21
Speaker 1: We were funding it. We were lied to. What's worse
3:26
Speaker 1: than something like that? I can't think of much. But
3:36
Speaker 1: we need to make sure he got a pardon. And
3:40
Speaker 1: all of this diary comes out, his phone messages, and
3:43
Speaker 1: basically he was spinning it and lying. But think about that.
3:47
Speaker 1: So people would die alone in a hospital without their
3:51
Speaker 1: loved one there to hold their hand or in a
3:52
Speaker 1: nursing home. Or we could have maybe saved them with
3:56
Speaker 1: ivermectin or something, but there was some type of agenda
3:59
Speaker 1: going on here. How evil is that? And no one's
4:03
Speaker 1: held accountable for it. And look what it did, how
4:07
Speaker 1: it changed this country economically. Because from that, and then
4:14
Speaker 1: from giving people all of this money, these government programs
4:18
Speaker 1: have just started printing more money and handing it out.
4:20
Speaker 1: And Joe Biden... And Trump and Biden and the Democrats
4:24
Speaker 1: and Republicans and the government creating all of this inflation
4:28
Speaker 1: by their monetary policies, which I never thought I'd see
4:32
Speaker 1: in my lifetime. The old cartoon of where you got
4:35
Speaker 1: a wheelbarrow full of money to buy a loaf of
4:37
Speaker 1: bread is coming true. Because everything is so damn expensive,
4:43
Speaker 1: it's hard to fix stuff. New cars, new trucks. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
5:01
Speaker 1: Medical care, the cost per mile to fix a road.
5:06
Speaker 1: We're all suffering from these damn policies and no one's
5:09
Speaker 1: held accountable. Have you heard the news? The last chance
5:12
Speaker 1: for Iran. Many countries wanted to give this a last chance.
5:16
Speaker 1: This is the last chance. Rubio on that last chance.
5:18
Speaker 2: There's been progress made in those talks, but not finality yet.
5:21
Speaker 2: We're hoping that will happen very shortly.
5:23
Speaker 1: There's good news. There are ships moving through the straits.
5:25
Speaker 5: There's oil moving right now through the straits.
5:28
Speaker 1: Todd Blanch's nomination for AG advances.
5:30
Speaker 6: Todd Blanche is a very good man. And election tests
5:34
Speaker 6: for socialists.
5:35
Speaker 1: Democrat socialists. Check in often.
5:40
Speaker 6: News Radio 570 WKBN.
5:45
Speaker 3: A school teacher with Mad River Local Schools in Dayton
5:48
Speaker 3: is now being indicted in connection with a child exploitation investigation.
5:52
Speaker 3: 63-year-old John Stalkup is accused of sending inappropriate messages to
5:57
Speaker 3: an undercover detective who he believed to be a 15-year-old girl.
6:01
Speaker 3: There are unconfirmed reports of Haitian nationals being detained in Springfield.
6:05
Speaker 3: Immigrant advocate Carl Ruby says he knows of 15 to
6:08
Speaker 3: 20 people who have been taken into custody since temporary
6:11
Speaker 3: protected status for Haitians ended last month. None of the
6:14
Speaker 3: reported detentions have been confirmed by federal officials. An assistant
6:18
Speaker 3: fire chief in Geauga County is being accused of stealing
6:21
Speaker 3: more than $ 1 million from his community's volunteer fire department.
6:25
Speaker 3: Richard Vandivander is facing multiple charges, including aggravated theft, for
6:29
Speaker 3: allegedly stealing $ 1. 6 million over a three-and-a-half-year span.
6:34
Speaker 1: I'm Andy Betts.
6:35
Speaker 6: Listen on the free iHeartRadio app for all your music, news, talk,
6:39
Speaker 6: and sports radio.

6:45
Speaker 1: A to Z dependable services. Plumbing.
6:48
Speaker 6: Ron Verbner. On News Radio 570, WKBN. Back to it,
6:53
Speaker 6: News Radio 570, WKBN, and Ron Verb. So you get
6:56
Speaker 6: what I'm saying right before I take calls. I mean,
6:59
Speaker 6: at some point you've got to sit around and say,
7:01
Speaker 6: we've been failed by politicians, Republicans, and Democrats, presidents past
7:06
Speaker 6: and present.
7:13
Speaker 1: And it just keeps going on. No one's held accountable.
7:17
Speaker 1: Debt keeps going up. Interest rate will be our number
7:20
Speaker 1: one expense before too long. Keep giving money away to
7:24
Speaker 1: all of this craziness. Look at the billions of dollars
7:27
Speaker 1: spent on all these people that Biden led into this
7:30
Speaker 1: country illegally instead of taking maybe some of that money
7:33
Speaker 1: and dealing with the people that are already here that
7:36
Speaker 1: are in need. These policies just don't make sense. And
7:46
Speaker 1: yet they continue to go on and on and on.
7:48
Speaker 1: I wish I could tell you that I'm optimistic that
7:50
Speaker 1: they'll be dealt with or they'll be changed. They certainly
7:52
Speaker 1: won't be in my lifetime. But I think there's something
7:56
Speaker 1: terribly wrong of strapping future generations with these huge amount
8:00
Speaker 1: of debt for money that's being spent today so foolishly.
8:04
Speaker 1: When is there going to be any type of accountability?
8:07
Speaker 1: And my point of all this, when a woman was
8:08
Speaker 1: talking about her generation or any generation, I think all
8:12
Speaker 1: generations are suffering as a result of this ridiculous inflation.
8:16
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're retired, you couldn't anticipate this,
8:18
Speaker 1: or you were close to retirement, you couldn't anticipate this.
8:21
Speaker 1: And as a young person, I think it makes life
8:23
Speaker 1: more difficult no matter what age category you're in, period.
8:29
Speaker 1: I listen, like I said, to Clay and Buck. They're
8:30
Speaker 1: so out of touch with reality. They're so skewed by
8:33
Speaker 1: politics and this team mentality. They forget to realize the
8:37
Speaker 1: consequences to these economic decisions and the effect that they
8:40
Speaker 1: have on people. And I don't care how cocky you get.
8:49
Speaker 1: Life can change in the blink of an eye for anybody.
8:53
Speaker 1: I've said it before. I said it again. Each and
8:55
Speaker 1: every one of you, you're one major illness away from bankruptcy.
8:58
Speaker 1: I mean, it can bankrupt you in a blink of
9:00
Speaker 1: an eye. We have plenty of people that simply by
9:07
Speaker 1: getting sick and have to go to skilled nursing care
9:13
Speaker 1: because of a stroke or getting sick, they lose all
9:15
Speaker 1: their assets and they end up on Medicaid. Not Medicare, Medicaid.
9:19
Speaker 1: Because they don't have anything left. Well, what are we
9:21
Speaker 1: to do? The cost of medical care is so ridiculous.
9:32
Speaker 1: The cost of nursing homes is ridiculous. The cost to
9:37
Speaker 1: fix a mile of roadway with the cost of oil
9:39
Speaker 1: and asphalt is out of control. This huge inflation has
9:48
Speaker 1: affected everything. What it costs your community to buy a
9:51
Speaker 1: fire truck or a new police car or to supply
9:55
Speaker 1: benefits to their employees. or for your own company, to
10:00
Speaker 1: survive with inflation paying these ridiculous electric bills and everything
10:09
Speaker 1: else that's going on you're on here hello yes.
10:20
Speaker 2: I'm calling about just what was going on about our military,
10:27
Speaker 2: and especially our sailors out there. I'm hearing a lot
10:32
Speaker 2: of stuff, a lot of propaganda. If you hadn't served
10:37
Speaker 2: on a ship, you have no reason to say what
10:42
Speaker 2: the conditions are aboard those ships.
10:45
Speaker 1: Well, it's the people that are serving on a ship
10:47
Speaker 1: that are saying those conditions.
10:51
Speaker 2: Have you known the people? I know, say, I'm a
10:55
Speaker 2: retired Navy.
10:55
Speaker 1: Can you read? Have you read the news? Have you
10:58
Speaker 1: read the stories?
10:59
Speaker 2: I've read it. And I know aboard ship, people are
11:03
Speaker 2: constantly griping about something. So these ships today are a
11:11
Speaker 2: lot better than the ships I served on. I served
11:14
Speaker 2: on some World War II destroyer. during my lifetime. We
11:19
Speaker 2: didn't have air conditioning. We didn't have these things. But
11:25
Speaker 2: all you guys are doing is giving comfort to the enemy.
11:31
Speaker 2: By saying our sailors are jumping overboard, they're not getting
11:35
Speaker 2: the right food, they're not getting all of this.
11:37
Speaker 1: Well, don't you think we should address those problems? I'm
11:41
Speaker 1: not saying it. They're saying it.
11:43
Speaker 2: On a ship. I'm saying you're making problems that possibly
11:47
Speaker 2: are not there. And you're giving comfort to the enemy.
11:52
Speaker 1: I'm saying to you, the people on the ship are
11:55
Speaker 1: saying this. Are you listening?
11:57
Speaker 3: Yes.
11:58
Speaker 2: I'm listening and I'm listening to the propaganda that you're
12:02
Speaker 2: being fed.
12:04
Speaker 1: From the people on this ship. Then why don't you
12:06
Speaker 1: tell me, with this propaganda being fed, why are they
12:09
Speaker 1: taking the Abraham Lincoln out of service, taking it back
12:12
Speaker 1: to port after 256 days, and sending out the George Washington?
12:16
Speaker 1: Tell me why that is.
12:17
Speaker 2: The only reason they're taking it out is it should
12:21
Speaker 2: come back to port for maintenance. You don't know a
12:24
Speaker 2: damn thing about maintenance.
12:26
Speaker 1: Well, you know what?
12:27
Speaker 2: You don't know the work cycle on a ship.
12:30
Speaker 1: You know what? Are you reading anything?
12:32
Speaker 2: You should pray at night.
12:34
Speaker 1: You know what?
12:34
Speaker 2: For all those kids over there.
12:37
Speaker 1: You are absolutely ignorant to what is going on in
12:41
Speaker 1: these stories. This isn't my opinion. This is what is
12:46
Speaker 1: coming out on the conditions on the ship. From food...
12:50
Speaker 1: to breakdowns, to toiletry, to the people that are on
12:54
Speaker 1: the ship, for Christ's sake. See you. You're on the air. Hello.
13:01
Speaker 1: You're on the air. You want to speak or not?
13:07
Speaker 1: You're on the air.
13:10
Speaker 5: Ronnie.
13:10
Speaker 2: Yeah.
13:12
Speaker 4: Hey, where do I even start with this? All right.
13:17
Speaker 4: You mentioned nursing homes, for one thing. And I just
13:20
Speaker 4: want to give you a heads up. Nurse Bertha said
13:23
Speaker 4: that they're thinking about increasing your sedative tonight because you're
13:28
Speaker 4: a little bit wound up. So settle down.
13:32
Speaker 1: Well, I am a little bit wound up.
13:35
Speaker 4: Yes.
13:36
Speaker 2: Yes. All right.
13:37
Speaker 4: Where were we? I don't know.
13:39
Speaker 1: Where were we?
13:42
Speaker 4: Where are we now, Ron?
13:44
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. You get this guy,
13:50
Speaker 1: like this last guy that calls. It's like, are you
13:53
Speaker 1: reading anything? I mean, he's acting like I pulled this
13:56
Speaker 1: stuff out of my ass. As opposed to, do you see?
14:01
Speaker 1: Why do you think they're taking that ship out of service?
14:04
Speaker 1: The question should be, why was it in service so
14:06
Speaker 1: long if it's got all these breakdowns and we've got
14:09
Speaker 1: a problem with food and this kind of stuff? Isn't
14:11
Speaker 1: that a fair question to ask? But he wants to say, well,
14:14
Speaker 1: you know what? When I was there, by God, I
14:16
Speaker 1: didn't even want to hear it.
14:19
Speaker 2: All right.
14:19
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, honestly, I believe it was– maybe it
14:24
Speaker 4: was Frank that said that the longest time a ship
14:27
Speaker 4: was in service was 79 days, and that was in
14:30
Speaker 4: World War II. But, I mean, you've got to admit
14:33
Speaker 4: that technology is way better now. We've got refrigerators, better
14:37
Speaker 4: stockades of food for the ships. I'm sure they could be–
14:42
Speaker 4: they're probably made that the, uh, the folks on board
14:46
Speaker 4: could be on board for like at least a half
14:48
Speaker 4: a year, but that would be stressful on the mind,
14:51
Speaker 4: which is something we got to take care of. But
14:55
Speaker 4: the woman that called in, um, she was talking about how, um,
15:00
Speaker 4: the young people, they don't really get it. Like I
15:05
Speaker 4: heard a report the other day that 70% of college educated, um,
15:12
Speaker 4: people between, like, I don't know, 25 and 35 or whatever,
15:17
Speaker 4: they believe that communism could work.
15:20
Speaker 5: Okay?
15:21
Speaker 4: And then I want to read you something, all right?
15:24
Speaker 4: This is from Nikita Khrushchev, all right? He said, we
15:30
Speaker 4: will take America without firing a shot. We will bury you.
15:37
Speaker 4: We can't expect the American people to jump from capitalism
15:41
Speaker 4: to communism without But we can assist their elected leaders
15:47
Speaker 4: in giving them small doses of socialism until they awaken
15:52
Speaker 4: one day to find that they have communism. We do
15:57
Speaker 4: not have to invade the United States. We will destroy
16:01
Speaker 4: you from within. This is a quote attributed to the
16:05
Speaker 4: late Soviet premier, Nikita Khrushchev. And honestly... I'm sure that
16:13
Speaker 4: they had agents in the last 50 years or whatever
16:18
Speaker 4: getting into our education process, especially the colleges, the colleges
16:26
Speaker 4: that teach the grade school teachers to be teachers.
16:32
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
16:33
Speaker 4: It's just like a little bit at a time, they're
16:35
Speaker 4: filtering all this stuff in, and can you believe 70%
16:38
Speaker 4: of college... if you could believe the polls, but 70%
16:45
Speaker 4: of people that went to college within the last, I
16:48
Speaker 4: don't know, I can't remember the amount of years, but
16:51
Speaker 4: they think that communism is a good thing. I think
16:56
Speaker 4: that's what that woman was trying to get across, is
16:59
Speaker 4: that they've been indoctrinated. Our younger children have been indoctrinated.
17:06
Speaker 4: Don't get me started on the fact that they're being
17:09
Speaker 4: influenced by computers and their phone 24 hours a day.
17:13
Speaker 4: What do you think, Ronnie?
17:18
Speaker 1: I think some people are probably very much fall into
17:24
Speaker 1: that category that you mentioned. That's what I think. I mean,
17:30
Speaker 1: communism doesn't work. Socialism doesn't work.
17:35
Speaker 4: It Also, you mentioned that we're broke. Pretty much, I
17:42
Speaker 4: think the rest of the world is broke, too. I mean,
17:45
Speaker 4: Europe's in financial disaster. Japan, China, I don't know what
17:51
Speaker 4: they're doing there. They got the slaves to feed their economy,
17:54
Speaker 4: but they're losing people because they had the one-child policy,
17:59
Speaker 4: and they only have males now.
18:01
Speaker 2: Yeah.
18:02
Speaker 4: I mean, that's kind of a problem. I think the
18:04
Speaker 4: whole world is in financial distress at this point. So
18:08
Speaker 4: buy up your gold, Ron, or you know what? I'll
18:10
Speaker 4: come help you dig it up out of your backyard.
18:13
Speaker 4: But I get a 5% profit on that, though. Just
18:17
Speaker 4: want to let you know.
18:18
Speaker 1: All right. I'm on my way.
18:23
Speaker 4: You started out with a flock camera, though.
18:25
Speaker 1: Yes.
18:27
Speaker 4: And I believe that they do good. Like you said,
18:31
Speaker 4: the ring cameras have helped solve crimes. I got cameras
18:36
Speaker 4: outside my house, you know.
18:38
Speaker 1: Listen, I just think. The people that are making a
18:41
Speaker 1: big deal out of flock hammers, we just got them.
18:44
Speaker 1: They announced they were going to put them in Austintown Township.
18:46
Speaker 1: I'm not the least bit worried about it. I'm not
18:48
Speaker 1: paranoid about it. The police aren't interested in where I'm
18:53
Speaker 1: going or what I'm doing. They're interested in some guy
18:55
Speaker 1: that robbed a bank or somebody that just grabbed a kid.
18:58
Speaker 1: And it's a great tool for... law enforcement to be
19:02
Speaker 1: able to find that vehicle and save that child or
19:05
Speaker 1: to find that criminal or to find a stolen car
19:09
Speaker 1: or to deal with that kind of stuff. They have
19:12
Speaker 1: them in Niles. They kind of have them in Austintown.
19:15
Speaker 1: It's a tool. It's not something to fear. I don't
19:17
Speaker 1: fear it at all. I think a lot of people
19:21
Speaker 1: are more paranoid than they need to be thinking that
19:24
Speaker 1: the government's that interested in them. It really isn't.
19:28
Speaker 4: I've seen on YouTube that People go into a gun store,
19:32
Speaker 4: and in the parking lot, there's like three of them
19:34
Speaker 4: going on, which could work both ways. You know, if
19:37
Speaker 4: somebody's trying to rob a gun store, obviously, you know.
19:41
Speaker 1: Well, if you go into any store, if you go
19:43
Speaker 1: into a supermarket or whatever, obviously, there are tons of cameras. Well,
19:47
Speaker 1: why are there tons of cameras? Because they're... keeping an
19:50
Speaker 1: eye on you because so many people are trying to
19:52
Speaker 1: steal stuff. So you're on camera when you're in the store,
19:56
Speaker 1: the grocery store. You're on camera when you're in a
19:58
Speaker 1: parking lot. Most people have ring cameras that are going on.
20:03
Speaker 1: And so police use flock cameras that we've seen the
20:07
Speaker 1: effectiveness in Niles and stuff when you got stolen cars
20:10
Speaker 1: or something going on along those lines, which can help
20:13
Speaker 1: say this is where that car is right now. It's
20:16
Speaker 1: just running the license plate of the vehicle. No different
20:19
Speaker 1: if the cop's running it on his computer sitting behind
20:21
Speaker 1: yet a traffic light.
20:24
Speaker 4: As I understand it, they could actually, if the car
20:27
Speaker 4: has like a dent in it or something, they could
20:29
Speaker 4: still use that for further identification besides the license plate.
20:34
Speaker 1: Well, listen. Well, what if this is abused? Anybody can
20:38
Speaker 1: abuse anything. The Leeds computer and people have done that,
20:42
Speaker 1: and they've been prosecuted as a result of it. And
20:45
Speaker 1: if people in the police department abuse the flock camera
20:49
Speaker 1: and are caught, and some have, and they too lose
20:52
Speaker 1: their job and are prosecuted, as it should be the case.
20:56
Speaker 1: Because it's there for law enforcement purposes. I think it's
20:59
Speaker 1: an effective tool to keep your community safe. I'm not
21:04
Speaker 1: paranoid about it at all. I really don't give a
21:07
Speaker 1: damn if I drive in Austintown and a flock camera
21:10
Speaker 1: takes a picture of my vehicle and license plate. I
21:13
Speaker 1: don't think the cops are going and sitting around at
21:15
Speaker 1: night going, hey, where do you think Ron went? He
21:17
Speaker 1: went to Wendy's and then after Wendy's, he went down to,
21:21
Speaker 1: let's see, where'd he go after that? He went from
21:24
Speaker 1: Wendy's and he went down to his house and he
21:27
Speaker 1: stayed there the rest of the night. Okay, meeting adjourned.
21:30
Speaker 1: I don't think they care.
21:32
Speaker 4: Here's a scenario for you. Okay, Ron Verb driving down
21:36
Speaker 4: the road with the unknown caller in the front seat,
21:42
Speaker 4: passenger seat, with a bag over his head. Clock camera
21:45
Speaker 4: takes a picture.
21:46
Speaker 1: Yes.
21:47
Speaker 4: What do you think is going to happen.
21:48
Speaker 1: There, right? I don't think they're going to care. They're
21:50
Speaker 1: going to say that's Ron Verb with the unknown caller
21:52
Speaker 1: going down the street. He's probably taking him to some
21:55
Speaker 1: fleabag hotel where he's shacked up because he's homeless, right?
22:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely correct. One more quick point about Rich mentioned
22:08
Speaker 4: it the other day, and you kind of brought it
22:10
Speaker 4: up today with Frank and the Zionist Jews. But me
22:16
Speaker 4: and the boys kind of made a game of it.
22:18
Speaker 4: Every time that Frank mentioned Zionist Jews, then we would
22:23
Speaker 4: have to take a shot. That's why I couldn't call
22:25
Speaker 4: in yesterday, Ron. I was like half in the bag.
22:28
Speaker 1: Oh, good. Well, I'll try to get him to say
22:30
Speaker 1: it again so the drinking can continue. Hey, I got
22:33
Speaker 1: to go. You're on the air.
22:36
Speaker 7: Did he say he had to go? That's about time.
22:39
Speaker 7: My ear was getting sore. But I want to talk
22:42
Speaker 7: about the Zionists, but I want to talk about our
22:46
Speaker 7: culture today. And I blame it all on our education
22:50
Speaker 7: system for the last 50 years. Thank you, Teachers Union.
22:55
Speaker 7: These kids are trained and indoctrinated. I swear to God,
22:59
Speaker 7: they have to be. And the Chinese have figured out
23:03
Speaker 7: how to get in the back door to destroy our culture.
23:09
Speaker 7: I'm sure of it. We've got to watch these Chinese. But,
23:12
Speaker 7: you know, the university, Penn State University, They're selling cocaine.
23:18
Speaker 7: They've got a market on the campus of Penn State University.
23:23
Speaker 1: Wasn't that fraternities or something?
23:26
Speaker 3: I don't know.
23:27
Speaker 7: They're bringing it in from the East Coast.
23:30
Speaker 1: You can't even get the story straight of who's selling it.
23:33
Speaker 7: Well, they're getting it from the big cities on the
23:36
Speaker 7: East Coast.
23:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you have this story all screwed up.
23:38
Speaker 7: These students are selling cocaine, $ 20, 000 a trip. And then
23:44
Speaker 7: they multiply that. They're capitalists. They're bad capitalists. I'm a
23:49
Speaker 7: good capitalist. I like to make production, produce something.
23:56
Speaker 1: You're one stop ready. WKBN. And Ron Ferb, you're on air.
24:02
Speaker 4: Hey, Ron.
24:03
Speaker 3: Yes.
24:04
Speaker 5: It's good to talk with you. I hope you'll hear
24:06
Speaker 5: me out. I'm a former sailor. I served in the
24:10
Speaker 5: Navy for four years, did two MEG cruises, one aircraft carriers.
24:16
Speaker 5: I was on the USS Nimitz, and our second cruise. Now,
24:20
Speaker 5: we spent over 90 days at sea during the Beirut issue,
24:26
Speaker 5: and we It was one of those things. You just
24:30
Speaker 5: get used to the operational tempo. We always got resupplied
24:34
Speaker 5: with fresh food. About every two weeks, we would come
24:37
Speaker 5: along another ship, and they would resupply us with food.
24:41
Speaker 5: It was never that bad. The only time it really
24:44
Speaker 5: got bad was when we were going across the Atlantic,
24:47
Speaker 5: coming home, and they wanted to use up all the
24:50
Speaker 5: food they had. So that was the only time it
24:52
Speaker 5: was bad. We did have sailors go in the water.
24:56
Speaker 5: It was accidental, though. But we always picked them up.
25:00
Speaker 5: There was never anybody lost. I'm wondering now, the question
25:06
Speaker 5: I have is, you know, you have these complaints, but
25:09
Speaker 5: you you're always going to have complaints from people in
25:12
Speaker 5: the military. You know, people that get on the ship,
25:15
Speaker 5: they join the Navy and don't expect what happens when
25:20
Speaker 5: you go to sea. And so I'm wondering now if
25:25
Speaker 5: the generation now just isn't up to that like we were.
25:29
Speaker 5: We just accepted it as fact. We joined the military.
25:33
Speaker 1: But why is it always, well, it's that generation, right?
25:39
Speaker 1: They're not as tough as we were. Well, they volunteered,
25:43
Speaker 1: but it says here, the U.S. Abraham Lincoln faced a
25:46
Speaker 1: high-profile crisis during an extended deployment in the Middle East,
25:50
Speaker 1: surpassing 260 consecutive days at sea without a port call.
25:56
Speaker 1: The record-stretching tour for its 5,000 sailors and Marines resulted
26:01
Speaker 1: in severe strain, poor living conditions, and morale issues. Sanitation
26:06
Speaker 1: and infrastructure.
26:07
Speaker 5: That's a long time to be at sea. That's a
26:09
Speaker 5: really long time.
26:09
Speaker 1: Okay, it's 6,000 miles away from the United States. So
26:14
Speaker 1: should I ignore what they're saying on board as far
26:18
Speaker 1: as problems as far as food is concerned?
26:21
Speaker 5: Oh, no, not at all. I really think that some
26:25
Speaker 5: of those complaints are somewhat unfounded. I don't believe everything
26:29
Speaker 5: I read in the news. That's one thing. And I'm
26:31
Speaker 5: sure there are people complaining.
26:34
Speaker 1: Stand by. Stand by. Let me go do my break,
26:37
Speaker 1: and I'll let you finish your thoughts. Hang on. Back
26:39
Speaker 1: with him in a minute. NewsRadio 570 WKBN. G2 going
26:43
Speaker 1: to be coming up this hour as well on a Tuesday.
26:45
Speaker 1: Ron Verb from the Kingdom of Mahoning on NewsRadio 570 WKBN. Youngstown, Ohio.
