  Speaker 2: Well, hidey-ho, 3.06 in the afternoon on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: And, Ron Verb, welcome. Good afternoon.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: What a lovely day we have going. I mean, just
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: the picture-perfect day. I hope you get a chance to
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: enjoy it. It is 72 degrees, and we're not dealing
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: with hot, humid weather. It's just really a perfect day temperature-wise.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: These are the days you long for and live for,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: and I hope you get a chance to enjoy it
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: as the afternoon rolls on.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Hey, good afternoon.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Welcome, as always, 330-729-9977. By the way, my top secret number,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: keep it to yourself.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: It's unlisted. If you want to call the program and
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: get on board, 330-729-9977.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Here's how strange was this. So I'm sitting last night.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Here's the scenario. I'm at Verb Manor. I left right
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: after the broadcast yesterday. So I left right after six
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: o'clock yesterday. And I'm sitting at the island in the
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: kitchen of Verb Manor with my wife. And I'm having
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: a slice of pizza, one slice, just one slice. And
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the pizza of choice that day was Cornersburg pizza from
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the original Cornersburg. And I was sitting there having that.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: And my wife turns to me and she says, is
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: that the tornado siren? And I really didn't hear it because,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: you know, they rotate and they are quiet and then
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: they get loud. And I said, what? She said, is
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: that the tornado siren I'm hearing? And sure enough, by
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: now it's rotating. What a great system. First and foremost,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: let's just acknowledge it is the best alert system around. Because,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, so it's circling around and you can hear
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the tornado siren going off again. So you just hear
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: it go off. And I just turn to her and
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I say, this is unbelievable.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: And sure enough..
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: You can what's a great video coverage Paul Wetzel had
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: on TV 27 with the weather cameras, with the weather
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: cameras that they had. I mean, Paul Wetzel just did
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: what a great coverage with those weather cameras where you
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: could actually see you could physically watch the day. This
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: is you could see the tornado right there on television
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: as it was happening live. As it was happening live,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: as you would see it, you know, on the east side,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: if you will, heading towards Girard. And it was right there.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, live on television. And you just sat back
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: and you said, this is unreal. Because we just went
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: through this, what, in less than two weeks? And here
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: we go again. And just to watch the progress of
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: this as it moved somewhat rapidly.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: And it's going really down, what, 422 for the most part.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: It was just great coverage by our television station, WKBN,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and Paul Wetzel. So they did an excellent job on that.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: And there was obviously some damage in the areas where
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: it went. But the strange part, and that's the weird
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: thing about tornadoes, is that The sun was shining out
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: our front door. We didn't even get any rain.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: So the sun was shining.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: And you could look over and you could see dark
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: skies and you could see what they were, the television coverage.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: But I mean, we didn't suffer any rain there. That's
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: not to my recollection. I don't think it's it even rains.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: So it was like, wow, how interesting is that? But
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: it's unbelievable that that happened for a second time.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: In two weeks.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: But there you have it. Is somebody messing with the weather?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Is somebody messing with the weather? Or is this just
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: a case that you have these people that say, hey, see,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: we're telling you this is global warming. It's screwing with
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the weather patterns. That's why you got all these extreme
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: conditions anymore. It's global warming.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Get used to it.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: That's why you have areas that are hotter than they've
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: ever been. And that's why you have all this crazy
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: weather that's going on. It's global warming. And that's what
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: some folks say, some scientists say. Others disagree with that.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: So I guess we don't know for certain. A lot
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: of people have opinions, but it doesn't mean they're scientists
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: or they know. We can all have opinions on it,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: but there's always those people that say, boy, the weather's
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: awful strange. Look at how hot it's getting in some
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: of these areas, hotter than it's ever been, and all
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: this kind of extreme weather, and that's what global warming's
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: all about, or.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: So they say. So there you have it.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Yesterday's adventure, sitting right there, eating a slice of pizza
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: with my wife when these sirens are going off.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: So let's see.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: There you have it. I want to talk to you
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: about El Presidente. I got in a discussion with G2
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: last night on a program. And for those of you
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: that listen on a regular basis, I must confess, I mean,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I think that this is a disaster what's going on
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: as far as Trump and Iran. I think it's just
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: an absolute disaster that he should have never done in
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the first place. He should have never got involved in
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: this in the first place. I mean, it was a
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: mistake from day one. Now, do you just continue on
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: with this? And knowing that it was a mistake from
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: day one, do you just continue to stay the course
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: despite the fact that it's a mistake?
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Because..
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Here's the problem. You're seeing oil prices go up, gas
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: prices go up. I mean, what is just stifling everything
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and everybody?
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Inflation.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is just out of control. You hear
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: communities talk about why they need more money because a
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: fire truck costs so much more, a police car costs
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: so much more. And you know it's true, just like
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: you take a look at what they say your house
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: is worth now.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: This is all inflation. Inflation.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Well, your house is worth this much, and that's what
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: we're going to tax you on. Have you priced vehicles
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: these days? I mean, it's ridiculous what they're looking for
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: some of these. Not that you can't find a good
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: deal on some new cars, depending what you're looking for.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: You can get like a Chevy Trax and that kind
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: of stuff. There's still some affordable stuff out there on
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the lower end, the affordable ends. But if you look
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: at a lot of other stuff, it's pretty steep on
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: a price. So everything you look at from housing to cars,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: your electricity is doubled. Gasoline's back at four bucks a gallon.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Your property taxes keep going up. Groceries keep costing more.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, all the stuff that you need. Who doesn't
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: need electricity? Electricity is doubled. It's doubled in price. The
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: cost of your electricity is doubled. Natural gas has gone up.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Groceries have gone up. Like I said, gasoline was down.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Now it's back to $ 4 on average. Insurance has gone up.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: All this stuff has gone up way beyond single digits,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: double digits. I don't think anybody's income can keep up
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: with it. And it affects your savings. Whether you're, no
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: matter what age you are, it can affect your your savings,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: your retirements, your stock portfolio. Hey, look, I got this
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: much money, but it doesn't buy as much as it
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: used to buy. Well, because of inflation. And I was disagreeing,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I guess, with G2 yesterday saying, I don't see any
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: end in sight to this situation. I don't see any
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: end in sight. As they say, what do they say
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: is the definition of insanity, doing the same thing again
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: and again and expect different results? So let's just keep
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: on bombing. Let's bomb them some more. That'll bring them
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: to submission. Let's bomb this stuff now. And, you know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: we've heard all along they're close. They want to make
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: a deal. I got him on the ropes. Trump was saying,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: and that didn't materialize. Well, we got this 60 day moratorium. Well,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: that didn't materialize. And now we're going to bomb them
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: some more Iran, and then we'll get them where we
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: need them.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Well, what if that doesn't work? So is there a
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: possibility that.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: These people were underestimated, that they're pretty well dug in
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: and they're not going to give in?
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Just a thought.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, it could be a major mistake, but I
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: do know this much, it's going to just continue to
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: add to inflation. Have a hard time getting nitrogen, which
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: is for fertilizer, for farmers, other chemicals as well. I mean,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: the Strait was open. We didn't have any of these
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: problems prior to them doing this. Now, these problems just
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: continue to go on as far as energy. We're draining
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: our reserves, our strategic oil reserves. China's doing the same thing.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: So we're tapping into all our reserve oil. And using
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: all that to try to keep prices low. Well, what
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: do you do when you're at these critical levels that
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: they're talking about that the oil experts were talking about
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: you'd be hitting in July and August as you continue
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: to drain it? Then when you stop draining it, now
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: what do you do? Now what happens to prices? Just
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: something to think about as inflation continues, I think, to increase.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: I just think we're all becoming poorer as a result
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: of this. We're all getting poorer every day. Everything's getting
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: more expensive. No one's income keeps up with it. They
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: continue to stay the course on this and It's just
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: not a good scenario. Comments, 330-729-9977, 330-729-9977. I don't know
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: if the right thing is just to say to Israel.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Hey, you're on your own. We're done with this. You're
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: on the air.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Hey, Ron, are you.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Done with your monologue?
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: If you're the first caller, I've got to think about
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: that for a second because if you're the first caller,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: if I'm done with my monologue, it means I've got
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: to talk to Bubba Ganoush.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: I was waiting until you were done fomenting about Trump.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, I am done at this point in time, and
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not a cheerleader for Trump, as you are.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: I'm a realist.
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: No, no.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm a realist.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I'm a cheerleader for the United States of America.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Hey, did you hear the compliment that was paid to
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: you last night?
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: No.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: You didn't hear it?
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: No.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Are you ready for this?
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I'm going to share some top secrets radio gossip with
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: all of you. Do you know the caller I'm asked
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: more questions about than any other caller? There's two, and
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: you're not one of them, but there's two callers I'm
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: asked more questions about than any other callers, any of them,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: when I'm not sitting here in the studio.
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Can you guess who those two are?
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: No, but you were saying somebody said something nice about me.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but can you guess who those two are?
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: No, I cannot.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: I thought you were a visionary. I thought you were
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: like psychic.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: No, you've got buddies that give you wrong information.
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: So come on, tell me about somebody said something nice
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: about me.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: I'd like to hear that.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, two callers that I know that I get asked
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: about more than any other callers on this broadcast.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Any of them. I mean, they're neck and neck.
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: Go on, say who it is.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Well, take a guess.
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: I'm not.
• 12:26
  Speaker 9: I can't guess.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know what it is.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Come on, take a guess.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: No, it's not God.
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: How about G2 is one of them, huh?
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: He's one of them, yes. So now you're 50-50. So
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm playing Jeopardy or some game with you.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: The other one's JJ.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Now, see, I said, did I not say you've got
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: psychic abilities, yes or no?
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Did I?
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: No.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Answer the question.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Did I not say I think you have like psychic abilities?
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Yes or no?
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: You said that?
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 13:06
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: And you said, I don't know who they'd be. And
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I said to you, there are two callers I'm asked
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: more questions about than any of the other regular callers.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: And you said, I don't know.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: And I said, I know you know because you're like psychic.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: And here you go. And those two callers are? g2
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: and jj i mean i'm asked more questions about jj
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: the liberal and g2 than any of our other regular
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: callers so yesterday jj the liberal said to g2 in
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: a discussion with g2 he refers to g2 affectionately as
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: vladimir he said i would rather listen to baba ganoush
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: than you.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: How about that how about that.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, I didn't agree with him, but I thought
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: that was.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: A compliment to him.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Why did he say that?
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Well, I was just saying he said that, and I
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: thought it was a big compliment to you. I didn't
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: say I said it.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: He said it.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but did you ask him why?
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Well, there really wasn't time. They were in a big
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: argument with each other.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, there really wasn't time to ask him because
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: he was on fire last night and G2 and him
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: were really getting into it. So I couldn't interrupt him
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: and say why. But I said, oh, there's a compliment.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell Bubba Ganoush when he calls that J.J.,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: the liberal, says he would rather have Bubba Ganoush than G2.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: And I thought to myself, boy, I sure wouldn't.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: But that might not be a compliment.
• 14:31
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 14:33
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Well, why wouldn't it not be a compliment?
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: I don't believe in his views.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with his views. He was
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: just saying. I mean, I would perceive it as a compliment.
• 14:50
  Speaker 11: Oh, okay, then.
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: Good.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, I thought it was a compliment. Well, you
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: seem awful sensitive today.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: I'm not sensitive.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: I'm not sensitive.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: No, you're sensitive today. You seem like you're.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: You're formatting on the radio, and I'm trying to get
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: to the point.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Get to the point.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: Let me share something that you don't know.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Okay. Yeah.

  Speaker 4: And he worked out something to help him get control
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: of his country, get Hezbollah out of it. You know, Hezbollah?
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: You're echoing so much. Get close to the phone. What
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: are you, on the toilet?
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: No. I'm not in my situation right now. Anyhow, I
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: said he had a meeting with the president of Lebanon.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah?
• 16:12
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: And they worked out a deal where he can help
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: them get control of their country and get Hezbollah out
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: of there.
• 16:23
  Speaker 13: Okay?
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: So that's huge.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Well, we'll see. I said we'll see.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: It's a giant mess. I'm telling you, I don't think
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of options here.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: And..
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: This was a miscalculation on his part. And this rests
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: at the feet of Donald J. Trump, the guy I
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: voted for.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: I still support.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: And it's a mess. And the economy's a mess as
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: a result of it. And it might get a lot worse.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Listen.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: What?
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Listen, you're making the world safe, Ron.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't necessarily agree with that.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Okay, man. That's fine.
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Well, it sounds like you're angry.
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: Bye-bye.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: Bye-bye.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: See, he seems like he was just, like, angry with me.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: But I think he's a Trump cheerleader.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: In my opinion.
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: I still don't know why. I heard that conversation you
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: had on with G2. And I keep telling myself, I
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: keep asking myself, who's to gain? China has sucked up
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: a lot of fuel and stuff and is storing huge
• 17:28
  Speaker 9: amounts of it.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Well, no, no, no.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: China has an even larger strategic oil reserve than we do,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: and they're tapping into that. At the same time, China
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: is cutting down on consumption. So China has cut down
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: on consumption and tapping into their strategic oil reserves, which
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: are larger than ours. We have been tapping into ours.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: We're at a level, a low level that we haven't
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: seen since, I think, 1985. So we're going through ours.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Well, what happens..
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: When you're done drawing off of this stuff, I mean,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: to keep prices down. Now, what's the next move? And
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: that's where these oil experts say we are in July
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: and August here, that that's what's coming. And you could
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: see much higher prices for a barrel of Earl, as
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: they say in Texas, and for a gallon of gasoline.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: And that creates inflation. Go ahead.
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: Well, it's China. China's going to gain, because... Right now,
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: they're all saying that Iran is the centerfold of all
• 18:28
  Speaker 9: that is so bad in the world, when actually, who
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: are the people that are picking them up? It's China.
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: China's going in there, probably flying stuff in and out
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: of there all the time. And they're just waiting to
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: take over the world's commerce, and Trump helped them with
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: all the damn tariffs. But the problem being is that
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: G2 wants to think that this guy, who, if you
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: take a look at his record of being a businessman,
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: isn't all that great. Matter of fact, it's pretty sad.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: He's done OK because he's he's wealthy and he's got
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: a good brand and all that kind of stuff. But
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: forget all of that. I'm more interested in what he's
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: doing as president. I make this I say this to
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: you once again, I voted for the guy and I
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: wouldn't vote for Harris or Biden if I had to
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: do it tomorrow. But I think that this is a
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: major mistake. Can I support somebody and at the same
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: time say this is a major mistake?
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: And I think that.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: He was snookered into it and we are all paying
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: a dear price.
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I agree with you. I understand that concept totally.
• 19:40
  Speaker 9: But what bothers me is he's continuously going on, and
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: it's just going to, with his attitude towards other countries,
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: I mean, take a look at that summit. Nobody really
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: wanted to talk to him because, well, he's the neighbor
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: that comes in a bad mouth to everybody.
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: He don't want to.
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: Work with anybody. I am the president of the United States,
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: and I'm God, and I don't care about anybody else's feelings.
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: They had that forest fire up there in Canada and
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: in Minnesota. And he's saying, well, we better put some
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: tariffs on these people because they can't control it. Well,
• 20:13
  Speaker 9: that makes no sense. Tariff seems to be a thing
• 20:16
  Speaker 9: that he thinks he can control. When in turn, Canada
• 20:19
  Speaker 9: is going to say, well, the United States will deal
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: with somebody else. And guess who that is?
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: China.
• 20:26
  Speaker 9: China is in the breath right now of taking over
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: the world economy because of this guy here that you
• 20:34
  Speaker 9: voted for, and mind you, This Republican voted for him
• 20:39
  Speaker 9: the first time, and halfway through his first shot at
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: being a president, I wondered what in the hell I
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: was thinking.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: All right, stand by, please, stand by. I'll get back
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: to him momentarily. Callers in line, stand by. Ron Furt,

  Speaker 14: Columbus residents at City Council District 7 can help decide
• 21:00
  Speaker 14: how $ 1 million in public funding will be spent through
• 21:03
  Speaker 14: the city's participatory budgeting program. A community meeting is set
• 21:07
  Speaker 14: for tonight where people can suggest projects like park improvements,
• 21:11
  Speaker 14: better street lighting, safer crosswalks, or more green space. The
• 21:15
  Speaker 14: ideas will be put to a public vote later this
• 21:17
  Speaker 14: year with the winning projects receiving funding. Residents who cannot
• 21:21
  Speaker 14: attend the meeting can still submit their ideas online. And
• 21:25
  Speaker 14: in the meantime, a nearly $ 1 billion aircraft manufacturing facility
• 21:28
  Speaker 14: is coming to Springfield. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine helped announce
• 21:32
  Speaker 14: the new Electra Aero Factory at Airport Park yesterday. The
• 21:35
  Speaker 14: Virginia-based company is planning to build a plant to produce
• 21:39
  Speaker 14: its EL-9 ultra-short hybrid electric aircraft at the new site,
• 21:43
  Speaker 14: creating roughly 2,000 jobs. Construction is expected to start next year.

  Speaker 1: On NewsRadio 570, WKBN. All right, back to it here.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Good afternoon, 335. Perfect day here on Wednesday, July 22nd
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: with 72 degrees. It's just perfect out there today.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: All right, so you voted for Trump the first time,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: and you say you did not vote for him the
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: second time?
• 22:16
  Speaker 9: No, by halfway through his first time being president, I wondered,
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: what is this guy doing? He's not helping out you, me,
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: or our kids or our grandkids or our great-great-grandkids. All
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: he's doing is helping himself. I mean, just take a
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: look at how much money this guy's made.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: So you're telling me, though, you voted for Biden or Harris?
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: Oh, I voted for Biden when he went in the
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: first time. The second time I voted, when I found
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: out that Trump was all pushing on it, I voted
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: for Harris just because of the fact that I didn't
• 22:50
  Speaker 9: think that Trump was not so..
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, in all seriousness, did you have to hold
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: your nose? I mean, listen, as bad as you might
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: think Trump is, he's a lot better than Harris.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Good God.
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: Well, you see, that's the point. A lot of people
• 23:09
  Speaker 9: will stay with a Republican only because they're Republican.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Well, no, she's just stupid.
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: Well, I understand that.
• 23:20
  Speaker 9: But, see, I don't blame you.
• 23:22
  Speaker 17: I'm not mad at you.
• 23:23
  Speaker 9: I accept the fact that you think Trump is okay.
• 23:28
  Speaker 9: And I don't. I take a look at what he's done.
• 23:32
  Speaker 9: More than 98% of his things he's been involved in,
• 23:35
  Speaker 9: if it hadn't been for his dad's money, he wouldn't
• 23:38
  Speaker 9: be where he's at. I mean, how would you like
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: to get out of college and get a million dollars? Here,
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: here's a million dollars. Go do something. And then when
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: you screw it up, he gives you another couple million
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: to straighten it out.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly what happened to me.
• 23:55
  Speaker 9: Oh, my goodness. Why are you sitting there talking to me?
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: You mean to tell me your dad didn't do that
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: for you? What kind of father did you have?
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: You mean to tell me when you got out?
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: I had a great father.
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: I loved him very much.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: But he didn't give you a million dollars and tell
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: you to be on your way?
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: No.
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: Go out and make it. I made mine.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 24:16
  Speaker 9: I never made a million.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: And neither did you.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Listen here, loser. All right, so you didn't vote for
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: him the second time. Here's my dilemma. I voted for
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: him every time, and I'd vote for him again. But
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: just because I disagree with him on this one issue
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean I don't like some of the other stuff
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: that he's done, and he's far better. I can't vote
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: for these people that think– You put tampons in men's bathrooms.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: You can wish yourself pregnant or wish yourself a woman
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: or any of that craziness, that wokeness. We can't say
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen and all of this craziness that they
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: stand for on the social agenda, let alone.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Their economic agenda.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Don't forget, Biden created all this double-digit inflation with his policies.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: But I'm man enough to say Trump is making it
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: worse with this situation in Iran. Remember, before the war,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: we had gas down about $ 2. 50 a gallon. Prices were
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: going down. Imagine where things would be right now if
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: he never engaged in this situation. We'd all be better off.
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: You're right. We'd all be better off. But he decided
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: he had to have a war.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: With a country... that has the 11th most powerful military
• 25:35
  Speaker 9: and is showing it yet today that they still have it.
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: Because the country of China and Russia have been feeding
• 25:42
  Speaker 9: them military equipment all along.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that's the case.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: I just think that they're dug in and they're not
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: going to raise a white flag like they think they
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: should have already. I mean, I feel I've been deceived
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: by some of the stuff that the president's been saying.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: They want to make a deal. They want to make
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: a deal.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: He's been saying that week after week after week. And
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: there's never been a deal. And we got him right
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: where we want him. And then this 60-day ceasefire and
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: there's nothing going on there. It appears to me that...
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: They don't want to make a deal. It appears to
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: me that they have control of the strait. Remember, that
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: strait was open before this war ever took place. You
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: didn't have any of these problems that you're seeing now,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: or we'll see after this is over with, as far
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: as the strait is.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Concerned, correct?
• 26:31
  Speaker 9: Well, yeah, you're absolutely correct, and it's going to take
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: better than a year to 18 months, if not two years,
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: to get everything straightened out. But who put us in
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: this mess?
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Trump.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: And with all.
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: This stuff that you say he's doing for the country...
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: He didn't lower the gas prices. The economy did. Who
• 26:48
  Speaker 9: is the economy? You, me, my wife, your wife.
• 26:53
  Speaker 10: Hang on a second here.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Here's where you're wrong on oil prices. He did.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Help lower the oil prices by expanding drilling offshore and
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: on federal lands. All the stuff that Biden prevented... and
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: the regulations that Biden put.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: In, he got rid of them.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: So he did very much increase drilling, and he knew
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: that if he increased the oil supply, oil prices would
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: come down. And they did come down as a result
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: of it. I mean, if he would have never done this,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: I bet you'd be at $ 2 a gallon for gasoline
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: if he would have never done this, or certainly $ 2.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: 25.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Gas would have been much cheaper, and I think your
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: groceries would have been less expensive. Inflation was going in
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: a downward direction. This was a stupid move. And my
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: question is, do you just continue on? If this was
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: a mistake from day one, do you just continue down
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: this road with.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: No end in sight?
• 27:52
  Speaker 9: Well, it kind of looks like Vietnam, don't it?
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: You know what? It does.
• 27:57
  Speaker 18: It does.
• 27:58
  Speaker 9: The thing of it is, okay, so we take the
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: restrictions off. Go drill, baby, drill. How long is it
• 28:04
  Speaker 9: going to take for them to drill? Get that oil out.
• 28:07
  Speaker 9: Get it moved to where it can be turned into
• 28:08
  Speaker 9: gas and diesel fuel. You're talking two, three years?
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Well, you're also going to— It won't happen in six months.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: You've got to acknowledge it's—all the stuff that I learned
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: about oil that I never thought I would know.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: I'm almost like T. Boone Pickens.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: I've learned so much about oil. It's the type of
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: oil that we have is a light crude and you,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: and our refineries are made for heavy crude and you
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: need heavy crude for diesel and jet fuel and, and
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: light crude is good for gasoline, but most refineries can't,
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: we export a lot of the oil that we take
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: out of the ground because we need the other.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Type of oil.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: So it's all kind of tied together to a certain extent.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, You follow what I'm saying? Oil just isn't oil.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: It's different.
• 28:57
  Speaker 9: I understand that. And what you're saying, because I've, over
• 29:01
  Speaker 9: the years, I've educated myself on that by looking it
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: up and paying attention. But what I just don't understand
• 29:09
  Speaker 9: why people want to back a person who claims, oh,
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: I put in hundreds of thousands of pools. He never
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: put them in. He had contractors do it. He never
• 29:20
  Speaker 9: put them in. He just put out the money out there.
• 29:23
  Speaker 9: And then when it was all built and done, he
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: had it for a few years, he had to get
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: rid of it.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: And he couldn't hold it. So he, how many times
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: did he file for Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies?
• 29:36
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: But that's, that's a businessman right there.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: The artist the deal is more so the art of
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: the steel and that's how i look at it all
• 29:45
  Speaker 9: right but the bitcoin the bitcoin thing too is you
• 29:49
  Speaker 9: want to buy buy into his bitcoin company okay so
• 29:53
  Speaker 9: we got to start off with the least amount. You've
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: got to spend $ 100, 000. Out of that $ 100, 000, you've got
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: to pay X amount of dollars in percentage for the paperwork.
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: And then every month or every six months, you get
• 30:09
  Speaker 9: a bill for looking at it and saying, this is
• 30:12
  Speaker 9: how much your Bitcoin is worth. If you don't keep
• 30:16
  Speaker 9: adding to it, It's going to get less and less
• 30:19
  Speaker 9: until finally it falls.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know anything about that. All right. Are you
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: having a lovely day today, old-timer?
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:28
  Speaker 9: Yesterday was kind of scary. I was actually thinking about
• 30:31
  Speaker 9: you because of the way that tornado was going, and
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: then I got thinking, no, you're over on that side.
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: On that rich side, there were things that wasn't so bad.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely. Yes, yes. Thank you for thinking of me.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: I was sitting right there when, like I said, eating
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: a slice of pizza when my wife said, there goes
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: the tornado sirens again. I mean, the most effective warning
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: system is those tornado sirens. I mean, that is the
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: most effective way of alerting everybody of, hey, be concerned.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Look to the sky. You know, pay attention.
• 31:08
  Speaker 9: On top of the sirens, I was here when it
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: came through Niles.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. So was I.
• 31:17
  Speaker 9: And so the thing of it is, it got me is,
• 31:20
  Speaker 9: I could walk into my house and look at it,
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: and there was no weather. All of a sudden now,
• 31:26
  Speaker 9: in the past 10 years, they finally got it in
• 31:29
  Speaker 9: their head, when this stuff comes in, we're going to
• 31:32
  Speaker 9: take every channel we got in the surrounding area and
• 31:35
  Speaker 9: and we're going to give you a weatherman to tell
• 31:37
  Speaker 9: you where it's going and what's going on.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: And I will tell you this much, in all sincerity,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Paul Wetzel does the best job of anybody on 27.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: There's no question.
• 31:46
  Speaker 9: I think his whole crew is exceptional at that. They
• 31:49
  Speaker 9: work well together, and they talk together, and they don't
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: talk in language that you and I... Well, I can understand.
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: I know you can more than understand it.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, I am a college graduate.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: From where? The..
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: University of Akron. Yeah, I tell you.
• 32:06
  Speaker 9: Well, right on.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Right on.
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 32:09
  Speaker 9: University of life.
• 32:11
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the school hard knocks. All right.
• 32:14
  Speaker 9: I've been knocked hard in a lot.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 32:16
  Speaker 9: Have a wonderful day. What was on the pizza?
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Pepperoni.
• 32:21
  Speaker 11: Oh.
• 32:22
  Speaker 9: It don't go well with my gallbladder.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: It's the worst thing for you, but... But it was delicious. Hey,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: it's good hearing your voice. I appreciate it.
• 32:31
  Speaker 9: Thanks. I'm glad talking to you.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, folks, there's something about that guy I like.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: You know, there's this guy that calls me from Fifth Avenue,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: and we disagree, but I enjoy talking to him.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: And that guy, too. There's just something about that guy
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: I find pleasurable. You're on the air.
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: Hello, Ron.
• 32:49
  Speaker 11: Thanks for taking my call. I've got a couple articles
• 32:52
  Speaker 11: I want to share I got today.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 32:55
  Speaker 11: Oilplanes.com. Goldman Sachs. Oren's oil could hit $ 120 a barrel
• 33:01
  Speaker 11: as Middle East war drags. They're talking before the end
• 33:04
  Speaker 11: of the year that oil's going to go to $ 120
• 33:08
  Speaker 11: a barrel. That'll make gas around.
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: $ 6 a gallon.
• 33:13
  Speaker 11: And there's another front opening up. Saudi Arabia has ports
• 33:19
  Speaker 11: on the Red Sea so they can take their oil
• 33:21
  Speaker 11: and tankers up to the Suez Canal and, uh, They
• 33:27
  Speaker 11: ship them through the Mediterranean to the rest of the world.
• 33:30
  Speaker 11: And the Houthis have been threatening. They're going to bomb
• 33:34
  Speaker 11: the tankers. They called the tank headquarters, and two of
• 33:40
  Speaker 11: them turned around, and they were bombing for China and India.
• 33:43
  Speaker 11: They made U-turns. So we got another problem in the
• 33:48
  Speaker 11: oil is with the Red Sea and the Houthis.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 33:53
  Speaker 11: Trump suggests he could restart Yemen bombing campaign in response
• 33:57
  Speaker 11: to Red Sea blockade. So a lot of trouble. It
• 34:02
  Speaker 11: ain't getting better.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, I agree. I agree with you.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, I am in total agreement with you as
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: far as this could. I don't see it getting better.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: I don't see there is an easy way out of this,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: in my opinion. I just don't see there to be
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: an easy way out at all. And it was a
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: mistake from the very beginning. And he knows it's a mistake.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: He knows he thought he's been lied to and misled
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: by Netanyahu and Israel.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: He knows it.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: And now he's looking for a way, I think, to
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: save face and get out of this, as opposed to
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: just saying, pack it up and tell Israel you're on
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: your own.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Because, I mean, he created this mess, he being Trump.
• 34:53
  Speaker 11: And all this crazy weather we're having, it could be
• 34:56
  Speaker 11: man doing it, and it could also be God judging
• 34:59
  Speaker 11: our country. Some of these wars we've been into. You know,
• 35:06
  Speaker 11: God judges nations, too.
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 35:13
  Speaker 11: I think we're heading for serious times.
• 35:14
  Speaker 16: So do I.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm concerned about it. I can't be like
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Bubba Ganush and a Trump cheerleader. And I hope I'm wrong.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: I hope I'm wrong. But I don't see an end
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: in sight to this. This idea, oh, we just keep
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: bombing more and more and more.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: It's not working.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: It hasn't worked to this point. See, I would go
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: back and say this to you. That's a whole other
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: part of the world. They don't think like you. They
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: don't live like you. They don't think like you. And
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: they don't necessarily want what you want. And we think
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: that they should be thinking like us and what we want.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: But they don't think like that.
• 35:55
  Speaker 11: They've got a totally different religion.
• 35:57
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: And you think that they're falling in love with America
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: as you continue to bomb this country of 93 million people?
• 36:07
  Speaker 11: Who knows how many innocent people we're killing, too.
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just interesting. I don't see an easy
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: way out of this. And I'm with you. I certainly
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: hope I'm wrong, but oil could go easily to that
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: or higher. And your gasoline prices and inflation will really,
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: really be out of control. And that makes all of
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: us poorer. You follow what I'm saying? I feel as
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: though I'm getting poorer every day.
• 36:38
  Speaker 11: Your truckers might stop going up and down the highway.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: I'm getting poorer every day because your 401k or your
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: IRA or your savings doesn't buy what it bought just
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: a short time ago. It takes more dollars to buy
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: stuff than it used to. So all that you work
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: for as far as your investments and your savings are
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: buying less. And if inflation goes up even more as
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: a result of this goofy situation, you become poor. My
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: electric costs have doubled. My property taxes are out of control.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: I have politicians that could care less what they're doing.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: to the productive taxpayers. You follow me? I have politicians
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: that could care less about the problem that they're creating
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: for everybody with property taxes. They could care less. I
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: have a library system in Monon County that could care
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: less what people think and are very arrogant. I have
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: property taxes going up with re-evaluations because we're saying your
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: house is now worth this, and it'll go up even
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: though you didn't vote for anything. I have this MRDD
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: asking for an exorbitant levy, and if that passes, your
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: taxes will go up even higher. My electric costs have doubled,
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: the cost of my electricity. My natural gas costs are up.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: My food prices are up. An airline ticket is up
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: in cost. My gasoline prices are up every time I
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: fill up a vehicle. My insurance costs are up. I
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: haven't even got through it all. I could go in
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: with the cost of medical care, and there's so much
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: more that have been double-digit increases. So who can keep
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: up with all of this craziness?
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: So everyone's getting poorer. And it's like, does anybody give
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: a damn about this at all?
• 38:34
  Speaker 11: You're a great watchman. You're doing a great service for
• 38:36
  Speaker 11: the community. I respect you highly.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: And I respect you, and I thank you for your call.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: And I do. God bless. All right. News Radio 570, WQEN.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: I'll have to get into some of these people that
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: submitted letters to replace Santos to be an Austin Township trustee.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: I've got to get to that later in the broadcast
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: at some point because it's like, gee, when you look
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: at that list, there's only one or two on an
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: entire list that would actually be qualified to really, or
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: do a good job or step into that job.
• 39:08
  Speaker 8: I'll be right back.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: All right, and Ron Verp from the Kingdom of Mahoning here, 355,
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: on a Wednesday afternoon, and you're on the air.
• 39:22
  Speaker 7: Yes, Ron, I think a lot of you guys are
• 39:26
  Speaker 7: just never been in a fight before.
• 39:29
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: Sometimes you're in a fight. I've been in a hundred
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: of them where you got to fight all you got.
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: And you got it. You know, even if you lose,
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: you know, you don't give up. And that's what Trump's doing.
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: What's Trump is doing? Trump is cleaning up the mess.
• 39:47
  Speaker 7: that Jimmy Carter and every president since Jimmy Carter left behind.
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: All right?
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: Iran has been a bully. They've been getting away with
• 39:57
  Speaker 7: it until Trump. What he will do is he will
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: pull out the lights-out defense on it, which I've seen
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: Ed McCluskey, the legendary basketball coach, do at Farrell in
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: 1972 when they were in the playoffs and they were
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: losing 38-18 at halftime. And McCluskey switched the plays around,
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: put in the lights-out defense, and the other team scored
• 40:23
  Speaker 7: two points in the third quarter. And Farrell scored 20.
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: So they went from a 20-point deficit to a two-point
• 40:32
  Speaker 7: deficit in one quarter. That's how quickly it happened. And
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: that's what you're going to see now. You're going to
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: see Trump is going to start taking out bridges and
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: power plants. And we'll see how tough they get when
• 40:45
  Speaker 7: they have no lights. Because lights are out.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Well, we shall see. It hasn't worked to this point.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: He's been telling you all along, oh, they want to
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: make an agreement, they want to make an agreement. He's
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: been telling you that for months now.
• 41:01
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, he says stuff all the time, right?
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: But it's halftime, Ron. It's halftime, and how many cities
• 41:09
  Speaker 7: have they bombed in the United States?
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: None.
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: How many of our aircraft have they shot down out
• 41:15
  Speaker 7: of the thousands, the sorties we run?
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: Not many.
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: How hard did they hit us? Well, we hit them
• 41:21
  Speaker 7: pretty hard. And they won't give up because the IRGC
• 41:25
  Speaker 7: is hated by their own people. They have no choice
• 41:28
  Speaker 7: but to fight to the bitter end. So we've got
• 41:31
  Speaker 7: to just completely take them out and send that country
• 41:34
  Speaker 7: back a thousand years.
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: That's all we have.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: We shall see if that happens. We shall see.
• 41:45
  Speaker 7: We'll say the B-52s haven't come out yet.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: We shall see.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: It hasn't worked at this point in time, and you
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: could be paying a lot more. You could be a
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: lot poorer as this goes on.
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: I want justice.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: All right. We shall see.
• 42:04
  Speaker 9: Church is out.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: All right. I've got to pause. We'll be right back.

  Speaker 21: of course, continue targeting Iran. when it comes to them
• 43:00
  Speaker 21: striking at commercial ships, that they want to try to
• 43:02
  Speaker 21: degrade Iran's capabilities to go after commercial shipping in the.

  Speaker 19: Strait of Hormuz.
• 43:07
  Speaker 21: It's a very different message, though, in terms of the

  Speaker 21: negotiations than what we heard yesterday from President Trump.
• 43:13
  Speaker 20: Earlier in Delaware, the president attended the dignified transfer at

• 45:48
  Speaker 23: cyber incident and they're now reinforcing safeguards.
• 45:51
  Speaker 20: OpenAI also says it expects this kind of incident to
• 45:54
  Speaker 20: become more common. In California, it is day two of
• 45:58
  Speaker 20: a preliminary hearing for David Burke. He's the singer known
• 46:01
  Speaker 20: as David. Accused of murdering a teen last year, prosecutors
• 46:04
  Speaker 20: are trying to establish a motive.
• 46:06
  Speaker 24: On the witness stand on day two of the hearing,
• 46:09
  Speaker 24: David Burke's financial manager and a finance employee of the
• 46:12
  Speaker 24: record company that signed Burke are testifying. Prosecutors are trying
• 46:16
  Speaker 24: to establish that Burke had a huge financial motive to
• 46:19
  Speaker 24: protect his career and that he killed 14-year-old Celeste Rivas
• 46:22
  Speaker 24: to prevent her from exposing their sexual relationship and impacting
• 46:26
  Speaker 24: that career. On Tuesday, prosecutors showed gruesome photos of the
• 46:30
  Speaker 24: crime scene as they try to prove to the judge
• 46:32
  Speaker 24: there's enough evidence to move to trial. Alex Stone, ABC News,

  Speaker 20: Africa's top health body says more than 1,000 people have
• 46:40
  Speaker 20: died in the Ebola outbreak in Congo, making it the
• 46:42
  Speaker 20: fastest Ebola outbreak in history. The World Health Organization says
• 46:46
  Speaker 20: the true scale of cases could be two to four

  Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb. On News Radio 570, WKBN. Well, it's
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: 4.06 in the afternoon. Ron Verb, your fearless leader here
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: on July 22nd, 70 degrees. Just a beautiful, perfect day
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: out there today. Nice to be with you here this
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: afternoon from the Kingdom of Mahoning.
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: And you're on the air.
• 47:12
  Speaker 9: Well, good afternoon, Ronaldo.
• 47:14
  Speaker 17: I want to give you an eye-to-eye, Captain, on the
• 47:16
  Speaker 17: Strategic Oil Reserve. When did you bring that up last week? Five, six,
• 47:20
  Speaker 17: seven days ago?
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, or so, yeah.
• 47:23
  Speaker 17: Yeah, somewhere in that neighborhood. In the meantime, that's the
• 47:27
  Speaker 17: 30-year low. And as far as I know, they're still
• 47:30
  Speaker 17: taking millions of barrels out there every day since you
• 47:34
  Speaker 17: brought it up. So we're past that 30-year low right now.
• 47:37
  Speaker 17: Some statistics on that from the latest ones that I saw,
• 47:41
  Speaker 17: there are approximately 340 million barrels in the strategic decoyal reserve.
• 47:46
  Speaker 17: That's the most recent. In 2026, March, President Trump ordered
• 47:51
  Speaker 17: the release of 172 million barrels. That's before that other figure.
• 47:57
  Speaker 17: You know, to keep the oil prices lower, artificially lower,
• 48:00
  Speaker 17: a shell game, in my opinion. Oil prices would be 13.
• 48:04
  Speaker 17: Gasoline would be either 13 to 20 cents higher without
• 48:08
  Speaker 17: that sleight of hand move. How long can that go on,
• 48:13
  Speaker 17: taken from the Strategic Oil Reserve? Millions and millions of
• 48:16
  Speaker 17: gallons a day. How low does it get? You know,
• 48:19
  Speaker 17: those are things that people want to, there's a cost
• 48:22
  Speaker 17: to this war, and I understand everyone says go, go, go,
• 48:27
  Speaker 17: but all the ramifications. Now, that oil has to be
• 48:31
  Speaker 17: bought back if you want to get up to 50, 70, 80, 100,
• 48:35
  Speaker 17: who knows what. When it's time to buy the oil
• 48:38
  Speaker 17: to replace it, is it going to be cheaper or
• 48:41
  Speaker 17: is it going to be more expensive per barrel? I'm
• 48:43
  Speaker 17: guessing it's going to be more expensive.
• 48:45
  Speaker 9: By a lot.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: It's really hard to say, but I mean, the reality is.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: We keep tapping into it. China has lowered its demand
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: for oil. You know, they've changed some things, I guess,
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: in China, and they tapped into their strategic oil reserves,
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: as we have done here. So the prices that you're
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: seeing are supplemented, I guess, by these reserves. Well, what
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: happens when you reach these low points when you can't
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: tap into it anymore? And you get to the real
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: price of where oil is as a result.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: Of this mess?
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what I'm concerned about. I mean, I
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: don't see a good way out of this. This idea is–
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: and listen, I hope I'm wrong. This idea that we
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: would just continue to bomb them and do the same
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: thing and expect different results, well– I hope it works
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: and it brings them to sign some type of an
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: agreement and this thing will be over and it's straight
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: to be open. But why hasn't that happened yet? Because
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: we've been bombing the living hell out of them all along, right?
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 49:51
  Speaker 17: And by the way, we're going to need a $ 37
• 49:54
  Speaker 17: billion more for the military or $ 40 or whatever it
• 49:57
  Speaker 17: is in addition. That's all on their credit card. And
• 50:00
  Speaker 17: for you folks that are always waiting for a balanced
• 50:03
  Speaker 17: budget or against the deficit, Keep that in mind also.
• 50:07
  Speaker 6: You know what, Ron?
• 50:08
  Speaker 17: I think one of the big problems with President Trump,
• 50:10
  Speaker 17: who I agree with on a lot of things, and
• 50:12
  Speaker 17: by the way, other presidents have released oil, too, so
• 50:15
  Speaker 17: it's just not him. But he is particular to having
• 50:18
  Speaker 17: yes men around and draining the swamp. Well, sometimes you
• 50:23
  Speaker 17: have somebody in the swamp that knows these issues inside,
• 50:26
  Speaker 17: not Iran, Iraq. They've spent their whole life in the
• 50:29
  Speaker 17: State Department or elsewhere studying the culture, the people. how
• 50:35
  Speaker 17: to handle them. And he has a lot of yes-men.
• 50:37
  Speaker 17: Do you think anyone told him, Mr. President, this is
• 50:40
  Speaker 17: a bad idea? If they did, they were thrown out
• 50:43
  Speaker 17: of that Oval Office real fast, I'm guessing. So that's
• 50:47
  Speaker 17: what we have. And he didn't take, you know, it's
• 50:50
  Speaker 17: not always that you want to have a yes-man. You
• 50:52
  Speaker 17: want to have somebody to tell you the opposite. No,
• 50:54
  Speaker 17: this is a bad idea.
• 50:55
  Speaker 9: It's not going to work out.
• 50:57
  Speaker 17: And I don't think Jared Kushner is that person. I
• 51:00
  Speaker 17: don't think he spent his entire young life studying issues
• 51:03
  Speaker 17: of Iran, Iraq, and the Middle East, so forth and
• 51:06
  Speaker 17: so on. So I think President Trump brought that on himself,
• 51:09
  Speaker 17: a lot of it, because he has yes-men and no
• 51:12
  Speaker 17: one told him, no, this is a bad idea. He
• 51:14
  Speaker 17: doesn't like to hear no too much.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: I would, I listen, I would agree with that. As
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: I say, I voted for him. I wouldn't vote for
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris or anything, but this was, this was a
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: bad move from the very beginning. So do you stay
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: the course knowing it's a, that it's a bad move?
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'll say it again. I think he was
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: snookered into this by Netanyahu and Israel. I think he
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: thought this would be easy and over with already. None
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: of that has been true. And, uh, they continue to say, well,
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: we'll just do this now, and this should bring them
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: to their knees. And what if that doesn't work? Then
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: what are you going to do next?
• 51:50
  Speaker 17: And that's not good about Ukraine. We're using so many
• 51:53
  Speaker 17: of our weapons there, between there and over in the
• 51:57
  Speaker 17: Middle East. You know, the stockpiles of weapons are going
• 51:59
  Speaker 17: down and down and down. He was going to have
• 52:02
  Speaker 17: Ukraine fixed in, I think, a month is what he
• 52:04
  Speaker 17: said at that time. But like you say, I agree.
• 52:08
  Speaker 17: But he's got himself in a real jam, a real fix.
• 52:13
  Speaker 17: Two main reasons. I think it wasn't well planned out.
• 52:16
  Speaker 17: Didn't understand the culture. Didn't understand the people. And here
• 52:20
  Speaker 17: we go, five months later, a billion dollars a day
• 52:23
  Speaker 17: for the war. Straight into our moose. Nothing's better. Everything
• 52:28
  Speaker 17: is worse at this time. And, Ron, if the war
• 52:32
  Speaker 17: is over today or tomorrow, which it will not be,
• 52:35
  Speaker 17: Do you think oil is going to flow and prices
• 52:37
  Speaker 17: are going to come down after everything's been bombed to smithereens?
• 52:40
  Speaker 17: How about the infrastructure? Everything has to be built straight
• 52:43
  Speaker 17: away or it moves open. Do you think that's going
• 52:45
  Speaker 17: to happen the first day that the war is over?
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: I think it takes time. I think it takes time.
• 52:53
  Speaker 17: All right, Ron, I want to give you an eye
• 52:56
  Speaker 17: on that question. Captain on that strategic oil reserve. Remember, people,
• 53:01
  Speaker 17: I would like to see us win and get out also,
• 53:03
  Speaker 17: but the price you're paying is very, very steep.
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, I mean, see, there's a problem. And who knows
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: where you're heading with this.
• 53:14
  Speaker 17: I mean, it's... I have an idea that unless you
• 53:17
  Speaker 17: go in with ground, I mean, I don't know any
• 53:21
  Speaker 17: war that's been won, maybe smaller skirmishes by bombing only. But, yeah,
• 53:26
  Speaker 17: I hope they don't put ground troops in. But, yeah,
• 53:29
  Speaker 17: it's not working so far. How's that bombing working out
• 53:31
  Speaker 17: for you so.
• 53:32
  Speaker 6: Far, you know?
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: Not so good.
• 53:34
  Speaker 10: All right, Ron, thanks.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: Thank you. News Radio 570 WKBN. 413 on a Wednesday afternoon.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: Gorgeous day. It's 69 degrees. Boy, it's getting chilly out there.
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: You're on the air.
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: Boy, I don't know why you guys are talking so
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: bad about Trump.
• 53:49
  Speaker 11: Listen, I told you guys that I've got.
• 53:52
  Speaker 5: My table, you know, I put wearing a new pair
• 53:55
  Speaker 5: of sunglasses. So I'm seeing things differently. He's treating Trump.
• 54:00
  Speaker 5: You're not giving him a chance.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, folks.
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: Wait a second, folks. J.J.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: The liberal had some type of medical treatments, and now
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: he's J.J.
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: The Trumpster.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: So you're calling me J.J. the Trumpster saying you're upset
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: that we haven't given him a chance? I want to
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: make sure I understand.
• 54:21
  Speaker 5: I just want you guys to hear what you guys
• 54:24
  Speaker 5: sound like. We've got to give them a chance. Like, Bobby,
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: you knew this back in 06 or 08 or something.
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: You knew this was going to happen. We've got to
• 54:33
  Speaker 5: give them some time. That's what it is. You guys
• 54:35
  Speaker 5: have got to give them some time. You guys are
• 54:37
  Speaker 5: being crazy. You guys are probably the ones who think
• 54:39
  Speaker 5: about that men can have babies. You're the ones that
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: probably think that, you know, you can go into the
• 54:43
  Speaker 5: men's room and you've got a tampon available. I mean,
• 54:46
  Speaker 5: you guys are, I'm kind of, you know, I want
• 54:47
  Speaker 5: you guys to hear it from your voice. This is
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: what it has done to me, that little procedure that
• 54:53
  Speaker 5: I had to take, Ron. This is what it did
• 54:54
  Speaker 5: to me. And not only I don't see my side,
• 54:57
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking how you guys do. And that's, you know,
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: that's pretty damn scary right now. I mean, we do know,
• 55:04
  Speaker 5: and I hope you, I think you do know, Ron,
• 55:06
  Speaker 5: is that you.
• 55:06
  Speaker 6: Hear it in your voice.
• 55:07
  Speaker 5: Do you know that this is not good, right?
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: I think it's a disaster.
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: I mean, everybody talks about them coming bombing. You're not
• 55:13
  Speaker 5: going to do that. But do you know that economically?
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: Economically, yes. It's a disaster.
• 55:18
  Speaker 5: There have been so many professors, so many people that
• 55:20
  Speaker 5: are writing, so many military people that said, that's what
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: you do. You don't go fist on fist anymore because
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: it's not going to work. Too much money, too many deaths.
• 55:30
  Speaker 5: It's going to be misleading people to say thinking that
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: our elections are rigged. When he won in 2020 or
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: he lost in 2020, it was a rigged election. But
• 55:40
  Speaker 5: 2016 to 2024, I didn't hear a peep. So if
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: we rigged that election in 2020, why didn't we rig
• 55:46
  Speaker 5: it in 2024? You guys understand where can you can
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: you grasp what I just said? If we did it
• 55:54
  Speaker 5: in 2020, and we knew that he was going to
• 55:55
  Speaker 5: get in office in 2024, you're damn right I'm going
• 55:58
  Speaker 5: to rig the election if I worked in it. I
• 56:00
  Speaker 5: did it before. Why didn't I do it then? Because
• 56:03
  Speaker 5: we're not rigging the elections. I'm really worried about it
• 56:06
  Speaker 5: because he's not representing any of us. I told you
• 56:09
  Speaker 5: years before, I told you months before, Ron, that you
• 56:12
  Speaker 5: can still support somebody, but you have to give me credit.
• 56:15
  Speaker 5: Ted's always asking about credit. I do this, I do that.
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: I'm the one that told you that you can still
• 56:19
  Speaker 5: support somebody, but say.
• 56:21
  Speaker 11: This is wrong.
• 56:22
  Speaker 5: You took my lead. I'm taking ownership of that one.
• 56:27
  Speaker 5: And I appreciate that, and I respect you for that,
• 56:28
  Speaker 5: because I've taken a lead on you. But Jesus, he
• 56:34
  Speaker 5: must be doing terrific. We've got to give him a
• 56:36
  Speaker 5: little bit more time, whoever it is. We're only down
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: 38-18 at halftime. That's not thinking properly, because either you
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: guys are making a crap load of money, and I'm
• 56:46
  Speaker 5: on the outside looking in because I'm a Democrat or whatever,
• 56:49
  Speaker 5: but this is not good. He doesn't know his note.
• 56:52
  Speaker 5: And I told you before, too, he had no after
• 56:55
  Speaker 5: he bought them. He did not have any plans B,
• 56:57
  Speaker 5: plan C, plan D. I mean, come on. I mean,
• 57:01
  Speaker 5: either he's part of this problem or he's in on it.
• 57:06
  Speaker 5: Because it doesn't seem to bother him. Do you know
• 57:08
  Speaker 5: that there was that outbreak of that lettuce, Ron? That
• 57:11
  Speaker 5: was a person who owns a company that gave Trump
• 57:14
  Speaker 5: a million dollars the last election. And Elon Musk and
• 57:18
  Speaker 5: them lowered the regulations on checking that type of stuff,
• 57:21
  Speaker 5: the vegetables and everything. The public says we're getting better fish. Okay,
• 57:25
  Speaker 5: do you ever get sick on fish?
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: I want to make sure I get this straight, JJ.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: You're saying that the explosive diarrhea that people are suffering
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: is because of Trump?
• 57:38
  Speaker 5: It's the fault of a person who knows Trump that got...
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: He didn't have to follow the regulations, so therefore..
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute.
• 57:46
  Speaker 16: I thought..
• 57:47
  Speaker 5: It happens to a lot of other Democrat politicians, but listen, President,
• 57:53
  Speaker 5: this is... You guys always complain about Clinton making money
• 57:57
  Speaker 5: or Obama making money after they get out. How did
• 57:59
  Speaker 5: they do it? One, they do $ 100, 000 lectures. They write books.
• 58:04
  Speaker 11: But I don't know anybody that's gotten a billion dollars.
• 58:07
  Speaker 11: I would be a fool to go, wait a second.
• 58:10
  Speaker 5: If my dad, the person I respected and loved probably
• 58:12
  Speaker 5: other than my wife and my son, more than anything
• 58:14
  Speaker 5: I respected him, if he even did this, I would be, hey, Pops, man,
• 58:18
  Speaker 5: what's going on with you? Because I got to stop you.
• 58:20
  Speaker 5: You're killing people. I appreciate you guys being, you know,
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: supporting him. That gives you guys some... I even sent
• 58:26
  Speaker 5: it to RGG, or whatever his name is, Vladimir, the
• 58:30
  Speaker 5: other day. But I respect Bubba Ganoush more than him
• 58:32
  Speaker 5: because Bubba Ganoush is really genuine. He's way off, but
• 58:35
  Speaker 5: he's a genuine. I can give him at least kudos there.
• 58:37
  Speaker 5: That guy, he's.
• 58:39
  Speaker 11: Who he is.
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: But RGTQ, he's going smoke.
• 58:42
  Speaker 7: Up our rear ends.
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute.
• 58:44
  Speaker 5: When you challenged him, you challenged him. You were so cool.
• 58:47
  Speaker 5: You challenged him a couple times. He was like, he
• 58:49
  Speaker 5: sounded like me.
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: But wait a second. His name isn't R2-D2. It's G2.
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: It's R2-D2. No, it's G2. It's G2, and you're being
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: disrespectful when you call him Vladimir.
• 59:07
  Speaker 5: Well, that's good, because he's better. him implying, and you
• 59:11
  Speaker 5: guys say, oh, I'm so sensitive, by implying that the
• 59:14
  Speaker 5: person I voted for is permitting people to rape children
• 59:18
  Speaker 5: and murder children, I think I have the opportunity and
• 59:21
  Speaker 5: the right to call you Vladimir. And that's being nice.
• 59:24
  Speaker 5: Quite frankly, you guys have to date me enough that,
• 59:27
  Speaker 5: you know, You know, been threatened by people. Come on, man.
• 59:32
  Speaker 5: I've still come back and still tried to deal with
• 59:34
  Speaker 5: you guys. At least I can say that. When I
• 59:35
  Speaker 5: go to my grave, at least I can say I
• 59:37
  Speaker 5: fought for everything. That I didn't roll over like my
• 59:39
  Speaker 5: wife wants me to. Oh, we're worried about our son
• 59:42
  Speaker 5: and me. They're going to hurt us. I told them
• 59:44
  Speaker 5: if the first person gets on our porch that I
• 59:45
  Speaker 5: don't know is half of them is going to be
• 59:47
  Speaker 5: across the street. I'm not worried about that anymore. But
• 59:51
  Speaker 5: I'm worried about it all taking you, Ron. I'm actually
• 59:53
  Speaker 5: worried that you're going to hurt Baba Ganoush. But it's us.
• 59:57
  Speaker 6: It's me, the Democrat.
• 59:59
  Speaker 5: It's the lunatic. If I'm the lunatic, then I'm the lunatic.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 7: It's getting old now.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's been calling people stupid. He didn't want
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 5: anything to do with Spain, but he stood up to
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 5: when Spain was getting their time in the sun. And
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 5: what did he do? He had to stand up there.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 5: Get in the photograph. My God, talk about a narcissistic individual.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 5: Come on, man. There were things he was starting to
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: do right. I agree with you. But did he veer
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 5: off because there's either something going on and not, you know,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 5: he's a war criminal, Ron. I don't care what anybody
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 5: was saying. He's a war criminal.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 6: I don't like the Hamas.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 7: I don't like those.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 5: But he's doing the exact thing that Trump wants to
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 5: do by taking out their infrastructure. People will not be
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 5: able to drink water. People will die. You might as
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 5: well go over and shoot them like Nick wants to do.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 5: My God, they have a right to live, too. And
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: Papa Ganoushi says all the time how they don't have
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 5: to honor agreements. Bull! He said he read the Quran,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 5: then he must have read it upside down. Because it
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 5: says that they have to honor agreements, especially with people
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 5: of other faiths, because it does a disrespect to them.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 5: Why would they do that? And the only reason why
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 5: they're bombing again and they're breaking the rules is because
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 5: as soon as Israel finds out about it, they bomb Lebanon.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 5: And that's part of the contingency there. You don't bomb Lebanon,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 5: that's where they're over the little things that we're fighting
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 5: over this deal with. Whenever I hear the word deal,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 5: it's like nails on a chalkboard. Because if you had
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 5: a deal and you were this great person, we would
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 5: have made that deal by now. And if not, then
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 5: you're killing people that have been around before we ever existed.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 5: Our own ancestors existed. It's quite frankly beyond me. We
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 5: don't have the right to do that. We have the
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 5: right to have our freedoms and our liberties and to
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 5: be able to speak our peace and speak our doers.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 5: But we have the right to have our government that
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 5: we can trust them at least a little bit. And
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 5: quite frankly, I would rather deal with a rattlesnake, a
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 5: couple rattlesnakes, than to deal with what's going on now. One,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 5: I don't talk about my son very much, but, you know,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 5: he eliminated any type of assistance toward people that have autism.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 5: My son's already on the real bad trip. He'll come
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 5: around to find out about this kind of stuff. I
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 5: don't want any pity party or anything, but listen, those
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 5: are things that are given to us to help my son.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 5: Stand by, stand by.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: Well, listen to this.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: The recent news, weather and talk station 570 WKBN.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: All right. Are you done?
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Rob, but that's the point. Listen, I don't
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 5: want anything. I take care of my family. I don't
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 5: ask for anything. It's just to take it away from people.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 5: You guys want our society to be good people, people
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 5: that honor our liberties and treat everybody with respect. And
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 5: RFK said, and you know that he said it, look
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 5: it up. He said people like my son will never
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 5: be able to play baseball, will never be able to
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 5: take their own bath, will never be able to wipe themselves,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 5: will never be able to fall in love. Do you
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 5: know how crappy that is? Why do you think he's
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 5: our health person and you're not going to help my son?
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 5: You think he's some kind of vegetable. Well, he's not.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 5: I don't want anybody to be pitying on me. There's
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 5: people that are a whole hell of a lot more
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 5: soft than I am. Way bad. They want to kill
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 5: themselves every day. Me, I just go back to smoking
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 5: cigarettes after eight years. This is what it did to me.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 5: And my white tail was, no, don't. JJ, don't, because
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 5: you're going to get, they're going to come knocking at
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 5: the door. We don't have any freedoms anymore. And I
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 5: just told him, I said, if I don't say something,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 5: I haven't threatened anybody. But if I don't speak, I'm
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 5: not going to go to my grave not speaking wrong,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 5: whether people don't like it or not.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: Amen. Never fear your tongue. Never fear your tongue.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 5: Of course, you know, you taught me that. And I
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 5: was always that way anyway, but you reinforced that in me.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 5: That I wasn't doing the wrong thing, even though I
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 5: agitated you. You always told me that.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 5: That's why I consider you a friend. You were honest
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: with me. Yes. The president isn't, buddy. Neither is G2.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 5: Neither is Nick. They're not being honest. They're not being
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 5: honest with themselves.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 11: I don't expect.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 5: Listen, if Biden was doing this, I told you if
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 5: I was in, do you think I'd support him? You
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 5: think that I put my being a father and being
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 5: a husband and being an American and being a friend
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 5: and all those kind of things more than wanting to see...
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 5: I don't understand it. And listen, I don't... I care
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 5: about you people, but why would I want to be
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 5: miserable as long as you're miserable? If you're happy, I
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 5: want to be happy. I don't even... We disagree. Why
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 5: would I want to be unhappy to make you unhappy? I...
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 5: Come on, people. Somebody's going to call right now and
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 5: they're just going to say they're saying that I'm some
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 5: kind of crazy person. Well, you know, like, yeah, I am. Remember,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 5: I just had some shock treatment, buddy. So I appreciate
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 5: you listening, but it's been really bothering me. But I
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 5: have to give you again kudos because you're not turning
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 5: on those guys that were your callers that have been
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 5: around a whole heck of a longer than I have.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 5: But you're a man.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: You're being honest.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 5: And I have to give you respect no matter what
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 5: we disagree on. You get that above everything.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 7: You're honest, man.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 5: I appreciate you.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 10: Thank you.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: Thank you for listening.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: You're on the air. Thank you for calling, incidentally. Second,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: there we go. You're on the air.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that was weird.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 12: I'm going to change the subject a little bit here.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 12: Unless you want me to keep talking about Iran.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 5: No, I don't.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: No, go ahead.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 12: So the Clarity Act, probably going to be passed next week.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 12: Donald Trump agreed to some ethics provisions. Basically, the Clarity
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 12: Act is going to allow digital assets in our country
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 12: to actually have rules and regulations, and it's going to
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 12: prevent the President, the Congress, Senate, and anything like that
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 12: from owning these, just like they've been doing in trading
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 12: stocks and becoming rich off of insider information.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 5: So for the.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 12: Listening audience, why is this even important? Well, it's going
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 12: to allow us in our country to do a couple things. One,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 12: it's going to do some bad things and some good things. One,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 12: it's going to allow us to print a whole lot
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 12: more money. which is going to allow us to can
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 12: further down the road. That's one of the bad things.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 12: But it's going to prolong the misery that we're all
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 12: going to be having because everything is going to get
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 12: more expensive and inflation is going to go through the
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 12: roof again. But at least we'll be able to print
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 12: dollars into ad nauseum. So that's one thing. The other
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 12: thing is. It's going to allow us to finally have
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 12: rules and regulations for digital currencies that the government can't control.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 12: Because what's everybody talking about? We all have money for
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 12: everything that just keeps throwing in the wind, pay for this,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 12: pay for that, no repercussions. You keep having more money.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 12: It's nominally you have more. But like you said earlier,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 12: you still feel like you keep feeling poorer and poorer every.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: Day of the year.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 12: If you knew how much, if you would have known, Ron,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 12: how much money you have now when you were 20,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 12: you'd have thought you would be driving around in a
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 12: yacht somewhere and you'd be the richest person in the world.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 6: But what happened?
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 12: Your dollar keeps buying you less and less. So that's
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 12: going to keep happening because what's going to happen with
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 12: this Clarity Act, we're going to have something which is
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 12: called stable coins, which are already in use, but it's
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 12: going to allow banks and major corporations to not only
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 12: hold them but use them. There's a caller who called
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 12: in a long time ago who always used to use
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 12: the phrase, why do cars have brakes?
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: Standby, yes, standby. Back with Alec in a minute. NewsRadio
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: 570 WKBN. Ron Ferb here tonight till 6 from the
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: Kingdom of Mahoning. NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 14: Columbus residents and city council District 7 can help decide
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 14: how $ 1 million in public funding will be spent through
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 14: the city's participatory budgeting program. A community meeting is set
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 14: for tonight where people can suggest projects like park improvements,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 14: better street lighting, safer crosswalks, or more green space. The
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 14: ideas will be put to a public vote later this
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 14: year with the winning projects receiving funding. Residents who cannot
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 14: attend the meeting can still submit their ideas online. And
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 14: in the meantime, a nearly $ 1 billion aircraft manufacturing facility
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 14: is coming to Springfield. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine helped announce
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 14: the new Electra Aero Factory at Airport Park yesterday. The
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 14: Virginia-based company is planning to build a plant to produce
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 14: its EL-9 ultra-short hybrid electric aircraft at the new site,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 14: creating roughly 2,000 jobs. Construction is expected to start next year.
• 1:08:25

• 1:08:41
  Speaker 25: Highways are still accident-free this afternoon. You're dealing with road construction,
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 25: closing the northbound lanes on I-680 between South Avenue and
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 25: Route 193. That's for pavement work scheduled through next summer.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 25: You also have various lane restrictions for paving repairs on
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 25: 680 between the turnpikes.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: And 224. See a crash? Give us a call.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 10: 330-305-1159.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: I'm Mike Ross from the Total Traffic Center.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 19: This report is sponsored by Dell Technologies.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: Back to school starts now.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 16: Get long lessons.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb. On News Radio 570, WKBN.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: Back to it, NewsRadio 570, Dodie Covey and Ron.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: 434 in the afternoon. It's a perfect day, 71 degrees.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: And back with Alec.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: So just take it from the top again so people
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: understand what you're saying. So everybody listening understands exactly what
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: you're saying.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 12: So a stable coin is a digital dollar. It's one
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 12: stable coin is $ 1 in the United States Treasury.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 6: They have to be backed.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 12: So if a company wants to mint a billion dollars
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 12: of stable coins, they have to have a billion dollars
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 12: in treasuries to back it. Well, what does everybody around
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 12: the world want?
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 7: Dollars.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 12: If you were in Iran right now, you want to
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 12: hold dollars, but there's no bank in Iran where you
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 12: can get dollars. With a stable coin and a digital currency,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 12: you can get it on your phone. So to have
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 12: those dollars, the U.S. is going to print more treasuries.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 12: So that way we can Keep pushing the dollar dominance
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 12: throughout the world. It's just we're going to be printing
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 12: more money so that we can kick the can down
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 12: the road with our $ 40 trillion in debt.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: And just bear with me. By printing more money, does
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: that create inflation?
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 6: Well, that's the problem.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 12: When's it going to hit the fan, though? You know,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 12: it's at what point in time is that inflation going
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 12: to actually rear its ugly head to the point where
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 12: we're all being lied to, number one, on the inflation numbers.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 12: We all know that. So when you're the referee, when
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 12: you're the Federal Reserve and you're controlling interest rates, but
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 12: you're also putting out what the inflation numbers are, you
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 12: can manipulate them a lot. Yeah, it probably will add
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 12: more inflation, but it's going to keep the dollar dominant.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 12: And at the end of the day, if we.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 6: Lose dollar dominance..
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 12: In the United States of America, we lose everything. We
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 12: have no manufacturing in this country. We don't produce anything.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: You're talking about like the petrodollar and all that. I
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: understand that, and I understand how important that is. But
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: if you continue to inflate the dollar by making more
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: of them, if you will, I mean, do you remember
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: that old cartoon where the guy has a wheelbarrow full
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: of cash to go get a loaf of bread? I mean,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: it's like that cartoon is becoming true because they've printed
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: so many dollars. Inflation caused as a result of government
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: policy or the energy policies.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: So everything has gotten so expensive.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: As I said, again, everyone's savings is worth less. Everyone's
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: retirement is worth less. Everyone's paycheck buys less. We're all
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: getting poorer because everything is costing so much. And if
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: Trump continues down this road that he's on, it's going
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: to create more inflation. You're saying that what you're talking
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: about creates more inflation. Well, what the hell do you
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: think a car or a house is going to cost
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: or just surviving is going to cost?
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 12: This is the bad part of this. Now, It depends
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 12: on what time frame you're looking at this in. If
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 12: you're looking at this in the next several years, well,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 12: maybe it's a good thing. If you're looking at this
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 12: long term, your gallon of milk might cost you $ 48.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 12: But I have no idea where that time frame leads
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 12: us to.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 6: The other part of.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 12: This, though, is like the doc usually always said, why
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 12: do cars have brakes? It's not so they can stop.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 12: It's so they can go fast. Right now, there are
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 12: no regulations in the United States for big banks or
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 12: major corporations to hold digital assets like stablecoins or bitcoins.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 12: So no companies hold them because it's only a liability.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 12: Once this bill is passed, there's rules of the road.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 12: So it's just like traffic lights and signals on the highway.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 12: So Bitcoin, you have seen in the past, it goes
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 12: way up and then it can crash back down. It's
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 12: like a Ferrari running through the middle of town with
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 12: no traffic lights. It can go real fast and it
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 12: can also hit a brick wall or another car and
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 12: it T-bones. But with regulations, it actually makes it that
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 12: much better. Now, what the stable coins are going to
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 12: do is it's going to push U.S. finance into digital wallets. So,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 12: you know, like FDIC insurance on your checking account, $ 200, 000. Well,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 12: if you have a stable coin, they are backed one-to-one
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 12: with treasuries, so they are always solvent. Inside the bill
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 12: itself for the Genius Act, which passed last year, anybody
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 12: who prints a stable coin has to have it federally
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 12: backed by treasuries, so your money is always there. You
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 12: could carry as much money as you could possibly want
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 12: in a digital wallet on your phone. Now, the only
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 12: problem with that is it's still the U.S.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 7: Dollar.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 12: We could all worry about what's on our phone, who's
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 12: watching our phone. But what it also does, it allows
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 12: you to own digital currencies, which are not controlled by
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 12: the government and cannot be printed into infinity. So this
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 12: is something that can actually slowly allow us to have
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 12: some kind of fiscal responsibility moving forward. And once there's regulation,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 12: big banks, major corporations, they're going to be the first
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 12: ones to move on this. It's not going to be
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 12: mom and pop. So this is just something I'm trying to, again,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 12: I've talked about in the past. I'm just trying to
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 12: give everybody a little insight to what's coming down the pipe,
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 12: probably even next week when it goes to the Senate floor.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 12: And if it passes, it's already passed Congress. They're working
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 12: on some verbiage because Democrats despise Donald Trump. So they
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 12: wanted to have ethics provisions in there so that he can't.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 6: Get rich off of it. And, hey, you know what?
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 12: I'm okay with that, too. Donald Trump came out with
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 12: his own what we call a meme coin before the election.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 12: He made $ 6 billion on it one day. Now it's
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 12: since crashed since, you know, that period of time. But
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 12: what they don't want is politicians to be able to
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 12: do those kind of things moving forward, which is a
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 12: good thing. Regulations are always good. But it might make
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 12: some sense for everybody to just know what's coming, understand
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 12: what a stable coin is, understand what Bitcoin and digital
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 12: wallets are, because it's This is the future. It's moving here.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 12: First they laughed at it, then they fought it, and
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 12: now the government.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 7: Is accepting it.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 12: Because maybe, just maybe, if we own something in our
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 12: country that can't be printed and wasted away by government officials,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 12: maybe we can actually have some fiscal responsibility moving forward.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 12: And that would be a good thing.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: I would agree with that. Instead of a fiat currency, correct?
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 6: Correct.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 12: So when you go to the polling library, you can
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 12: do some research on the Clarity Act. You can sit
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 12: in the back corner where it's heaved a quarter inch.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 6: You know, and I keep going back to that, too.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 12: I have no other words. You just shake your head.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 12: These are the things that go on at your local level.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 12: Imagine the kind of fraud, waste, and abuse that goes
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 12: on at the state. What goes on nationally in our country?
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's the arrogance of this whole library group
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: that just bewilders me. I mean, I am so bewildered
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: by their other arrogance or how they despise the citizens
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: of a community that say, we don't like this decision.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: We're taxpayers, and we think we can fix this building.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: And it's like, we don't care. We don't want to
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: hear that discussion. We don't want to have an open
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: forum on it. You can talk three minutes, and then
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: that's it. I mean, it's the arrogance that you're getting
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: Like this woman who runs a library, like it's what
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: she wants to be so insulated. She's almost like afraid
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: to talk to the public or afraid to come on
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: the program. Talk to the architect. Tell tell him why
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: why you think this is the right move and tell
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: him why you think he's wrong. And then have a
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: discussion and let's all listen to it. What are you
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: afraid of? This is what your job is. This is
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: what you get paid for. Why are you afraid to communicate? No,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: I got to hire a bunch of other people to
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: do the communication. Even though I'm in charge, I don't
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: want to be.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's so ridiculous from the library standpoint.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 12: I don't know how you go out in public knowing
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 12: that you're wasting your neighbor's money. I don't understand. And
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 12: then you have, like I said, you know, Bernie Sanders,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 12: I was referencing, you know, he says crazy things. He
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 12: believes it. And at least he'll, like, try to back
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 12: himself up. If you're crazy, at least try to back
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 12: yourself up and take on, you know, the debate. But
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 12: to not even have a debate about it or to
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 12: talk about it. But here's the worst thing about this.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 12: At the end of the day, it's like if you
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 12: sign your terms of agreement when you go on a
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 12: website or your iPhone, nobody reads the 17 pages. You
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 12: just hit click so you can use it. Everybody thinks, oh,
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 12: I love my library.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 6: So guess what?
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 12: At the end of the day, it's all the voters
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 12: because they're all misinformed and they vote for this. And
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 12: this is the repercussion from it. So, you know, sometimes
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 12: it always, I hate to say it, but sometimes it
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 12: takes a tragedy or maybe something really dumb to happen
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 12: for people to wake up.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 12: But in this case, probably not, because most people don't
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 12: care about local issues.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: I don't agree with that. I think people do care
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: about local issues when you see what's going on as far.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: As Here's why they have no idea.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 3: Here's why they care, because they're being ignored and they're
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: being treated like dirt. And it's like when you start treating.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: People that are. They're the taxpayers like that. There's repercussions.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: There's fallback from it.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 12: Those are the people who call into your show. Those
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 12: are the people you hear about that actually care. If
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 12: you went to whatever grocery store you go to and
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 12: you polled 100 people, 99, maybe 98 of them would,
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 12: number one, have no clue what you're talking about. And
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 12: then if you explained it to them, 50 of them
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 12: would be like, nah, I don't really know. I don't
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 12: really care. Have you seen anything good on Netflix?
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 12: And they'd scroll through their phone like a zombie.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 6: That's the problem.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the reality. Sooner or later, it catches
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: up to them because all of a sudden they say,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, I can't afford to live in my
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: home anymore. Or why do I have to pay so
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: much in taxes?
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: Or what do you.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: Mean I'm going to lose my house because I'm buying
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: in taxes? All these economic things catch up to people.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: Sooner or later, you can only stick your head in
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: the sand so long before it catches up to you.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 3: And it will catch up to you.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 6: Let me ask you this, Ron.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 12: So let's say you start saying, I can't afford this anymore.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 12: Do you go through your life choices and say, I
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 12: shouldn't have voted for that library increase?
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 12: What you do is you hear the politician who says,
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 12: forget the big corporations. I want to tax the billionaires
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 12: and take their money. We're going to have socialism. We're
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 12: going to have communism. You say, I'm not going to
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 12: fix my problems. I'll vote for that so that somebody
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 12: else could fix my problems for me. And this is
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 12: what's happening. We talked about it before in New York City, Seattle.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 3: Everywhere like that. Like class warfare.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 6: Well, that's what's happening. We've talked about it before.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 12: That's why the young people are voting for stuff like this.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 12: Because if your salary goes up 1% a year, but
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 12: the cost of homes goes up 10% a year, year
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 12: after year after year.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 6: You can't buy them.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: But I'll be the first guy to say, and I
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: think as a result of talking to you, I think
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: the young person has a legitimate bitch to make. And
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: how did we get here at this point in time?
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, I sit here, and when I say it's
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: a legitimate bitch, listen, I sit here and say... Every
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: one of these politicians that are out there saying we
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: can't cut government or we can't become more efficient. as
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: DeSantis is doing in Florida. We can't spend less each year.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: They lack the ability to do that. Every one of them,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: every single one of them, is making the problem worse.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: They are making the problem worse for people that are,
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: of all, whether you're a senior, whether you're a new
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: person trying to buy a home, they're making it worse.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 12: Ron, I'm going to tell you something that you're not
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 12: going to like.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 7: Bill, Bill.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 12: The oldest boomers now just turned 80. When do we
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 12: spend the most on somebody's health care throughout their whole life?
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 12: The last two months of their life.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, yes.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 12: We are going to be spending into oblivion Medicare.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 6: Not alone.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 12: Forget Medicaid.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 6: That's a complete disaster.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 12: And I'm going to tell you this. You're not going
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 12: to like this because I know I've had disagreements with
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 12: you in the past on this. But Social Security, that
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 12: is not your money. You paid into it, but the
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 12: money you paid in is not yours. And I had
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 12: a conversation with a very kind woman the other day
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 12: about all of this, Social Security, Medicare, and she was
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 12: receiving all of it. And she completely agreed. She's happy
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 12: she's receiving it, but she sure wouldn't want to be
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 12: the one paying for it right now. She likes the
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 12: other end because don't take it away from them because
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 12: they were promised it.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: See, I disagree with that. And just so you know,
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: when I was young, I was hearing the same things.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: It's not going to be around when you get old. Well,
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you something. First of all, I
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: support the idea of taking the cap off Social Security.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: You follow me as far as if the guy making
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: $ 150, 000 is paying it on his entire salary, then if
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: you're making $ 300, 000, you should as well.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 3: We can solve the problem that way. I've said this
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 3: a million times.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: Keep Medicare at $ 65, 000. Keep Social Security at 67. I'm
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: against raising these ages at all because not everybody lives longer.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: Not everybody has an easy job. So let's keep it
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: where it is. It's not a grand retirement. It's not
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: a bunch of money that people are getting. And I
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: just think that it's very salvageable. And it's a good thing.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: It will be there for you. When you talk about
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: the money, the money I paid in, the vast majority
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: of it went out to current retirees. I am not
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: upset about that. I'm not pissed about that. It went
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: out to people, my father's generation, my mother's people.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 3: That's okay.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: The only time that I was paying more in was
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: when Reagan put that buffer in there for the baby
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: boomers to retire. It was Reagan that put that in.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: There was never supposed to be a surplus. It was
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: not supposed to be that way. But to get all
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: the baby boomers through, we have to have that surplus.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: And once they're through, supposedly, we don't need it anymore.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: So let's see what happens. I'm convinced Social Security will
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: be there when you retire.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 6: It's a math problem.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 12: You can change the cap. You can change the limits.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 12: But you need working people to pay for those receiving it.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 6: And when you have less.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 12: And less people paying in, that's called a Ponzi scheme
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 12: when you need to have more people paying in than
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 12: the people taking their money out. That was Bernie Madoff.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 3: But tap the brakes.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 18: If I just had my money, if I had my.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 12: Social Security money in an S & P 500 account,
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 12: since I was paying into it, I'd have a lot more.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 12: But it's not my money. I pay it out. to
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 12: everybody who's collecting that i don't get my money back
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 12: i have to hope well at the government director right
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 12: thing when i retired to take it that there's enough
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 12: people still working hopefully they're not just all box in
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 12: a i agent that we figure out a way to
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 12: pack i have to hope that all the money i
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 12: put in i get to reap the rewards that and
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 12: guess what i'm paying all that money now i don't
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 12: know what inflation going to do to that dollar at
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 12: that point in time it would even going to be
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 12: work So I'm trading my time right now for some
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 12: other retiree Social Security recipient's money.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 3: Just as I did when I was your age.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: The exact same thing I did when I was your age.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 12: There were more payers than recipients. And now it has flipped.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 6: And now, again, you can go out. You don't have
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 6: to work.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 5: You can be on Medicaid. You could do whatever.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 12: The politician will take care of you as long as
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 12: you vote for them. And we will print money to
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 12: keep it going.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 6: But guess what?
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 12: And that causes more inflation. So the working person out
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 12: there who trades his time for money's dollar keeps getting devalued.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 12: And it's the younger generation who's going to fall deeper
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 12: and deeper into problems.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: And they're not going to be able to fix it.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: Here's my problem when I hear guys like you say that.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: There was a time when I was the younger generation,
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: just as you are the younger generation. And you will
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: become the older generation. What you're saying is nothing new.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: I've heard the same thing. Everyone acts like when I
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: was young, it was so easy to buy a house. Well,
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: it wasn't that easy. I mean, you know, it depended
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: what you made. I mean, everything's kind of subjective. Here's
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: what you made. Here's what it cost. And a lot
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: of people couldn't afford a home then. They didn't have 20%
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: to put down.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: I couldn't disagree with you more.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 3: They didn't have the PMI on it. I couldn't disagree
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 3: with you more. Or any of that. Now, just, well,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 3: stand by a second. I want to talk to you
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 3: about that.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: Back with him and more on NewsRadio 570.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 3: Ron Verp, 452. Wednesday afternoon from the Kingdom of Mahoning.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 3: It's 70 degrees.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: You're one stop for at KBN.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 3: So.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: Every generation thinks the one before it had it easier
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: than the one before it. You know, I can sit
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: back when I was young, and just bear with me,
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: and I can say, boy, my dad had it a
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: lot easier than I did because all the taxes were less.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: He paid less in Social Security percentage. The sales tax
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: didn't exist or was way less. Income tax was way less.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: He took home 90% of what he made and paid
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: way less in taxes. I mean, I could sit back
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: and dwell on that when he was young. But then again,
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: just bear with me, and I want you to respond
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: to this because it's going to go on.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 3: You've got to be patient. When I look at, like, my.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: Dad in the house we grew up in, and I
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: forget the square footage. I mean, it was three bedrooms,
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: and there was, let's see, there was– A bath and
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: a half.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, a lot of the stuff that you have.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: Today, that younger people have today, or the home that
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: I built, is much different than the one my father
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: had that was more modest when we were growing up.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: He didn't have a cell phone. He didn't have that built.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: It was later in life before anyone got central air.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: They didn't have credit card debt because they didn't really
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: have credit cards. They didn't do a lot of stuff
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: that you younger people do. So all of a sudden,
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: he didn't have an internet bill. He didn't have any
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: of that kind of stuff. So, should I sit here
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: and say, boy, he had it a lot easier. Well, okay,
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: so I made more money than my dad did because
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: he insisted, as I've said a million times, you couldn't
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: just attend college. You had to graduate college. You follow
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying?
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, he had...– I've said it a million times.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: If I went and told my mother I'm dropping out
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 2: of high school, do you think that would have been acceptable?
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: Do you think she would have said, oh, okay? I mean,
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: that option didn't exist. It didn't exist to drop out
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: of college. And as I said, when I was young,
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: if you wanted to get into the trades, it was
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: damn near impossible unless you had an uncle or knew
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: somebody to get you in. It was damn near impossible
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: to get into General Motors or Ford unless you knew
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: somebody to get in. It was damn difficult to get
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: a government job unless you knew somebody to get in.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: That was the reality of when I was young. Look
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: how easy it is. It's not easy, but it's much
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: easier today to get into an apprentice program in the
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: trades and make a good living. than it was when
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: I was young. It's much easier to get, they're begging
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: for cops and firefighters than it was when I was young.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: They're begging for mailmen much easier than when I was young.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of opportunities that you have that are
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: much better than they were when I was a young person.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: So when you keep acting like, It was so much
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: easier when I was young. I still had to work.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 2: I still had to save. I still had to say
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: no to myself. The disciplines that my father taught me
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: so that when I got married and bought a home,
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: I had 20% to put down so I didn't have
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: to pay PMI insurance. And you think when I signed
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: that loan that that isn't a nervous time to say,
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: I'm agreeing to pay this amount for the next 20
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: years or 30 years? But I used my father's philosophy
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: to be indebted to be a slave. So I paid
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: it off as quickly as I could by not doing
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: a lot of other things. Now, I want you to
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: bear with me because I want to talk to you
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: about this. Do you have the time? Do you have
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: the time?
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 26: All right.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 3: Hang on.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: All right. Because Alec is, I think he's a really
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: smart guy. I'm just going to tell you. But I
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: want to give him my scenario because it's always, these
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: people always think, oh, it was easier for the generation
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: before them. And I don't always buy that.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 3: I'll be right back. Stay tuned. If you're in the.

  Speaker 19: Four U.S.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 27: Service members killed in the Middle East last week returned
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 27: to U.S. soil in a dignified transfer ceremony at Dover
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 27: Air Force Base. President Trump and top Pentagon officials attended.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 27: ABC's Louis Martinez says the solemn ceremony marks the escalation
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 27: between the U.S.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 28: And Iran.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 29: What we've seen now is essentially a return to daily combat.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 29: And it's no longer a situation where Iran waits for
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 29: the United States to attack. They have been carrying out
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 29: daylight attacks ahead of any U.S.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: Retaliation.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 29: So what we're seeing is a return down to daily hostilities.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 27: Ousted Venezuela leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife are back
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 27: in court for his drug trafficking case.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 30: Maduro appeared at ease as he entered the courtroom without shackles,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 30: greeting spectators with good morning in English and waving at
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 30: one of the sketch artists as he took a seat
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 30: at the defense table. Judge Alvin Hellerstein promptly set a
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 30: trial date for June 1st, 2027, the date requested by
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 30: both prosecutors and defense lawyers. Maduro's lawyers say they plan
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 30: to file a motion to dismiss the case in September
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 30: by arguing that Maduro and Flores are protected by sovereign immunity.

  Speaker 27: In Mississippi, the family of Nolan Wells released findings from

  Speaker 27: an independent autopsy. Authorities say the teen drowned following a
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 27: boating trip with friends July 4th weekend. Family attorney Benjamin
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 27: Crump says the cause of death remains undetermined.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 28: Attorney Crump releasing these autopsy results and also pointing out
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 28: the fact that there are missing organs here does put
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 28: a significant amount of pressure on Mississippi.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 10: Certainly, there's been a lot.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 28: Of attention, a growing national attention on this particular case
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 28: and the transparency around it. Again, that is what the
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 28: family is asking for, transparency in this investigation. And so
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 28: they're hoping that the coroner does ultimately release those.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 27: ABC's Alex Prechet. Tropical storm Bertha made landfall in St.

• 1:34:36
  Speaker 22: Farms has issued a voluntary recall of all their iceberg

  Speaker 1: From the A to Z dependable service, now Ron Verb
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: It's 506 NewsRadio 570 WKBN and Ron Verb.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 3: It's 70 degrees. So all I'm trying to say is,
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 3: I'm talking with Alec. If you missed the.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: Beginning of our conversation, you'll have to catch it on
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: a podcast. So all I'm saying is every generation thinks
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: they had it harder than the one before them. And
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: you're saying... And I'm saying to you, it wasn't easy
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: when I was young. I mean, a lot of people
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: couldn't afford a house then. They didn't make enough money.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 2: They didn't save money or they spent foolishly or whatever.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 2: So you had to make sacrifices to build Verb Manor
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: when we built it. And when you signed that loan,
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 2: you were on the hook for it. Sure.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 3: I'm not disagreeing with you on that.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 12: I'm not talking about any outliers from the baby boomer
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 12: generation or the outliers from the younger generation. I'm talking
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 12: about the entire United States of America as a whole together.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 12: And I'm just speaking from a mathematical standpoint. If you
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 12: take the correlation between what people made in the 50s, 60s, 70s,
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 12: and what a house costs, what your groceries, your insurance,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 12: or childcare, and you take that proportionately to what people
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 12: are making now to what a home costs. And I
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 12: don't want people to call in, well, kids don't work
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 12: hard anymore, or they just don't want to do those jobs,
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 12: or they want a big house. Well, I'm sorry, most
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 12: younger people, yeah, you want to live in a safe neighborhood.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 12: You know, you're not buying a house for $ 60, 000, okay?
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 12: You want to live in a safe area, which the
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 12: average home now... You can look online right now. I've
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 12: seen houses with four-by-four-inch pink tile in the bathroom, $ 400, 000. Okay,
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 12: you can't come out of school $ 100, 000 in debt and
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 12: try to buy that. And here's the other thing, Ron.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 12: Even the other generations before you, their life wasn't working
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 12: in most of the scenarios. So, yeah, the husband, I
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 12: get it. It was tough. Believe me, it's a lot
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 12: easier now to do things sitting on your couch from
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 12: your phone. I could book a vacation while sitting on
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 12: my couch.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 5: You couldn't do that before.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 12: I've gone more places than my grandfather ever even do existed.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 6: I get that.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 12: I'm just talking to strictly from a financial standpoint, which
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 12: brings me all the way back to the origination of
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 12: my phone call. It's because the money system, everything comes
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 12: back to that. When there is more money, it dilutes
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 12: your dollar and it's getting worse and worse. And there's
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 12: no end in sight. So the only thing I'm coming
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 12: back to.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 3: And you understand I don't disagree with you on that.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: If you're talking about the deficit of the country and
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: some of these dumb decisions making it too easy for
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 2: people to sit on their ass and everything, I don't
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: disagree with you on any of that.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 12: It's gotten exponentially worse, and it's not the younger generation
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 12: who's done that. I'm not saying that if they were
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 12: older they might not do the same thing, but I
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 12: can only go by the facts and figures I see
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 12: right in front of me. and it's not that early
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 12: twenty something to thirty something who are putting these into,
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 12: you know, law and moving forward. The can is getting
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 12: kicked down the road, and the older generation are the
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 12: ones protecting themselves. I don't blame them one bit, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 3: But pause for one second.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: I want that there. I want that to be there
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 2: for you. And the same concerns you had, I had
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: when I was younger as well. So I want it
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 2: to be there. I sit here and I say, listen,
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: with ad nauseum, you know, I want to beat my
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: head against the wall because of the bull crap that
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: takes place in this community. And I do mean in
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: this community that isn't in other communities. And the reality
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 2: is these people in politics today that I rag on
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: constantly are making this situation worse for you. So am
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: I concerned about the senior citizen?
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: But I'm also concerned about everybody in between, as you
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 2: hear me talk about ad nauseum, to say these people–
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: are making it harder for young people to buy a
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: home and get started with their life with the burden
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: of property taxes. I mean, I look at my own
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: home and what they were when I, when I started
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: and what they are now. And that's why I sit
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 2: here and applaud and put on Dave Thomas. That's why
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 2: I get these, these people with the signing of petitions.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: We got more signatures. I can't think of any other
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 2: radio host anywhere that, That's helping these people get signatures
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: for this constitutional amendments. I mean, I'm doing everything I
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 2: can do to say these people, my commissioners, this library group,
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 2: none of these people give a damn about the burden
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 2: they're creating for young people to be able to buy
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 2: a home.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 3: They are the problem. And I'm trying to stop it
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 3: from growing and making it worse, not for you.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 2: But for people that are younger than you. And you've
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 2: got to help me do that. I mean, I think
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: in talking to you long enough, you've got to understand
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: me from a personal standpoint, and I believe you do.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 3: Do you know deep down how pissed I am about this? Seriously, Alec.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 12: I know you are because you wouldn't have these people
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 12: on if you didn't care. You'd just listen to random
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 12: complaints all day long, and that would get terrible. You
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 12: want to do something about it, and I can.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 5: Tell you're passionate about it.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 12: And everybody listening that frequently listens learns so much that
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 12: they would have never known because we really have no
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 12: local news that isn't partisan. And this is how you
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 12: actually figure out information moving forward. And this is what
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 12: it takes for people to actually understand what's going on,
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 12: try to get it fixed. It's just that the problem
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 12: is most people aren't informed enough, and they just don't care.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 12: And that's the sad truth.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 7: Of the matter.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 3: That is true.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 12: I don't know what it will take to move forward.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 12: But like Dave Thomas has said, too, you.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: Know, I don't want to drag you.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: Okay, now let me respond to that and then get
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: your feedback. This has just been my observation over the years,
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: and the statement you made is 100% true. I watched
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 2: it happen firsthand. when these trade agreements were coming around
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 2: when Perot was around, right?
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 3: And NAFT and GATT. And you're right.
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 2: Most people, and I was bitching about him then, and
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: I was 100% with Perot on it. Everything he said
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 2: about stagnant wages, the sucking sound, ended up coming true.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 2: So people didn't pay attention to it until they started
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 2: losing their job.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 3: You follow me?
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: Till their husband lost their job till their kids couldn't
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 2: find a job. You saw entire communities, including people in
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: this community and in Buffalo, entire towns wiped out businesses
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: that left thousands of people losing jobs and they lost
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: their homes and drug addiction went up and crime went
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 2: up and communities lost their tax base. I watched it happen.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: And those people who didn't pay attention, guess what they
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: started doing? Paying attention because it started affecting them. That's
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: what it takes sometimes.
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 12: And sometimes, though, sometimes it's too late, and the poo-poos
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 12: already hit the fan, and that's what happened. Because we
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 12: had local politicians that weren't forward-thinking or forward-looking, and we
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 12: had uninformed voters. And this is all the problem with, again,
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 12: everything like I've mentioned. When you have money that's just
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 12: going everywhere, and there's a trickle-down of your dollar for
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 12: your time, it makes things very difficult. Of course we
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 12: could fix the politician. Of course we could fix this
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 12: bill or this or that. But at the end of
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 12: the day, there are no consequences to a lot of
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 12: these actions. There's no consequence to the politician who screws up.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 12: They just get more money from their political fund. They
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 12: win re-election.
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 6: They sit there.
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 12: They twiddle their thumbs. They hire their friends. And then
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 12: we all have to pay for their exorbitant health care
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 12: costs after they retire at age 55.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 3: Right, exactly. Instead of saying, do we even need this position?
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 2: Did you listen, I just ask you, when I played
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: that hour long, when I did that hour thing with DeSantis'
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: audio from Florida, did you happen to hear that at all?
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 12: You know, I didn't get a chance to listen to that.
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 2: Because I'm going to do something I don't like to
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: do on a regular basis. I think I'm going to
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 2: play it again. And I'm going to play it again,
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 2: and people say, well, he's the governor of Florida. What's
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 2: that got to do with.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 3: Us up here?
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 2: It's what he's saying in his philosophy and why things
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 2: are better in Florida, why every year in Florida they're
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 2: spending less money than they did the year before, not
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 2: adjusted for inflation. So they're shrinking the size of government.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 2: So they're saying, like he said, we'll spend our tax
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: dollars on putting another lane on I-4 because that will
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: benefit people and benefit their life, as opposed to hiring
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 2: some cronies in some bullcrap position that's not necessary. Or
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 2: he says, like in Broward County, why do they want
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 2: to double the amount of money the school gets when
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 2: the student population school has declined?
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 3: You follow me?
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, when you listen to what the guy says,
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: you realize he's educated.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 3: He's a lawyer. He's educated, and he reads.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: My problem with the people that are running this community
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: is I don't think a lot of them are educated
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: or they read. I really don't think that they actually
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 2: sit down and read. You know, like when I have them,
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: I'll never forget when I had the Fabiani saying, well,
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 2: what about these people?
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 3: What about these?
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 2: He was talking about everybody's problems except the taxpayer, the
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: guy paying it. Oh, I understand, Ron. No, you really
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: don't understand. You lip it and you say you understand.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 3: But you have the ability to fix it, do something
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 3: about it, but you don't. You follow me? Talk is cheap,
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 3: deeds are precious. I'm so sick of these people saying
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 3: they understand. No, you don't understand what you're doing. You
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 3: don't understand what you're doing to old people. You don't
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 3: understand what you're doing to young people. And you don't
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 3: understand what you're doing to everybody in between. They don't
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 3: get it. Would you agree with that, Alec?
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 5: I do.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 12: And part of the problem is if you do get
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 12: it and try to run for that position... you will
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 12: be pushed out of your party or not welcomed into
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 12: the group. So it's hard to even get elected into
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 12: that position to even have your voice in a position
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 12: of power where you can represent the taxpayer because you'll
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 12: never get elected. And that is the problem because we
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 12: have too many cronyisms around here where we don't get politicians.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 12: And I will say it's not all, but for the
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 12: most part, we don't get things done because once you
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 12: get in that position, you get your nice benefits, you
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 12: get your nice new office, and then you get a
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 12: nice retirement, and then your friends are taken care of,
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 12: like I said. Because they don't hear from the taxpayer,
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 12: because the taxpayer goes to work all day, comes home,
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 12: tries to spend time with their family, fix some things
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 12: in their house, ride their bike, and maybe go on
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 12: a vacation once in a while. And they don't have
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 12: time to go down to the commissioner's office and try
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 12: to get a meeting through nine layers of secretary to
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 12: get to the point where they don't really care. So
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 12: that's the problem. There's just not enough people to overwhelm
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 12: that to actually get it done. Because, again, if you
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 12: ask 99 out of 100 people in that grocery store
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 12: if you ever polled anybody, they wouldn't be able to
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 12: tell you a commissioner, who their mayor is, who.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 6: The governor is.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 12: I bet you some people wouldn't even be able to
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 12: tell you who the vice president of the United States
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 12: is at this point in time because we have an
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 12: uneducated system. And the problem is all of their votes
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 12: count the same as my vote and your vote and
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 12: everybody else listening who's well-educated. So what are we to do?
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 12: And it's really getting tough, and it's really making us
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 12: all angry, because just like you said, you keep working more,
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 12: and you keep feeling poorer and poorer, even though you
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 12: have more money than you probably ever thought you would
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 12: have when you were, you know, 20 years old. And
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 12: it just blows your mind. It makes you just shake
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 12: your head. What are we doing, and how does it
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 12: get fixed? Somebody's got to come in almost incognito into
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 12: a political office where they say one thing to get
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 12: elected and actually go in and fix it.
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 6: But guess what?
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 12: Fixing things, just like fixing a house, sometimes you've got
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 12: to tear things down to actually fix the problem. The
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 12: problem is the voter sees you trying to tear it
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 12: down at first, trying to actually rectify the issue and
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 12: fix it moving forward. And they say, oh, you didn't
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 12: fix it.
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 6: Time to go. And then you're gone.
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 12: And then your political party outcasts you. You get no
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 12: money from your local party.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 6: And then there it is.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 12: We're right back to the same system we were at before.
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 12: And the problems continue, continue, continue, because there are no consequences.
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 3: When you say that, you were reminding me of, I
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 3: was looking at these, I don't know if you pay
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 3: attention to this or not. Let me find this for
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 3: one second. These people that applied, you know, Santos, of course,
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 3: got a county job now. You follow me?
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's, you know, so he's leaving as trustee,
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 2: you know, because, you know, he got a county job.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, fine.
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 2: So you've got these people that put in their letter
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 2: to replace him as a trustee.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 3: You follow me? In the township.
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 3: And I go through this list.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 12: Now, I'll tell you, I'm ignorant to that story right there.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 2: But I go through and I look at all of
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 2: these names, you know, and I read about them. And
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 2: I think to myself, I don't see really any of
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 2: them talking enough about the taxpayer. You follow me? I mean,
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 2: as far as the taxpayer and becoming efficient. So I
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 2: go through I go through all these names. And quite frankly,
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 2: I'll be blunt with you. I think there's only two
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 2: people on this list of 13 that are even worth considering.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 2: And obviously, obviously, one of them's Ditzler, because because I'm
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 2: here to tell you, he was an excellent trustee when
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 2: he was trustee in Austintown.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, so I mean. He's very smart.
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 2: And the other one is probably Rapovi that was a
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 2: councilman in Youngstown. I think those are the only two
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 2: of all the people that are there. You know, I
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: don't care that you're a kawan and, you know, this
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff like, oh, I donated, you know, I
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 2: was part of this organization or that organization.
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 3: I don't care.
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 2: That means absolutely nothing to me and means nothing to
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 2: your ability to be able to do a job as
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 2: a trustee. I mean, do you have an understanding economic
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 2: sense of of what's going on. And I only think
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 2: two of all these people that applied have any abilities, really,
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 2: and that would be Ditzler and Rapovi.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 3: The rest of them, I wouldn't want any of the
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 3: rest of them.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 2: I don't care that you supported the dunk tank or
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 2: whatever stupid thing like that.
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 10: It's ridiculous.
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 12: Well, they've been putting us all in the dunk tank.
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 12: And I'll tell you, I would like a politician, I
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 12: don't care what level you're talking about, that does have
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 12: higher political aspirations, because I want you to be the mayor,
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 12: the congressman, the governor, whoever. When you're in a position,
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 12: I want you to build a resume and do as
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 12: good as you can so you can talk it up
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 12: for the next position.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 3: Hold that thought. Back with him and more of your calls.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed my discussion with you. I won't keep you
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 2: any longer. But we'll carry it on in the future, okay?
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 12: Now, all the boomers out there, don't be mad at me.
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 12: Just think about where you're leaving the country.
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 3: I don't... I'm trying to say to you, though..
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 2: Things are– it's never been– everybody thinks it's easier for
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 2: the people before them. My father made less money than
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 2: I did, but he kept more of the money that
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 2: he was making, and things.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 3: Cost a lot less.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 2: So there's like a gauge on that. I mean, you
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 2: understand his house was smaller than the house that I achieved.
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 2: He wanted his kids– like the typical people of the
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 2: time to do better– than he did.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 3: He insisted that you got educated, as you did. But
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 3: he also insisted that you knew how to roof the house,
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 3: that you know how to fix the car, that you
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 3: knew how to do things.
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 2: It was a different time. You follow me? But I
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 2: look at my children that are adults. They know how
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 2: to fix things. They know how to operate machinery.
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 3: They're educated.
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 2: And if your kids are better than you are, you've
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 2: been a success.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 3: Would you not agree?
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 12: That's right there. I think the ultimate goal for any
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 12: generation is to have your kids do better off than you.
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 12: And that right therein lies, I think, the point where
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 12: I think we're starting to get to a point where
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 12: some of these generations now, this one included, are starting
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 12: to be worse than the one before. And I'm not
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 12: talking about just financially. I'm talking about everything else, the morals,
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 12: the ethics, the religion, everything. And that is all a
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 12: problem that leads into everything we just talked about. So
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 12: where is it falling off? We all have to do better.
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 12: And I think society in itself has fallen apart in
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 12: many ways. But there needs to be consequences for these things,
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 12: and there just aren't.
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 26: Correct.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 2: Consequences to bad decisions that you make. I'm in total
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 2: agreement with that. You have to own it. But, I mean,
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 2: your father had to look at you and say he
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 2: achieved it because– You've done better than he did. You know,
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 2: I look at my own, in my own case, my
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 2: own son that I work with, and it's the biggest
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 2: joy of my life is working with him.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 3: But he's smarter. You know, he's just smarter.
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 2: He's just, I don't even know how to describe it.
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 2: You know, he's just very intelligent. He's got good standards.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 2: You follow me? Ethical standards, smartness, work ethic. And that's
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 2: what you should want as a parent. And I just
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 2: leave you with that. And I think your dad would
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 2: say the same thing about you. You follow me?
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 12: I would say the same exact thing, and that's all
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 12: you could want for your kids, too. I think that's
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 12: a good point to end on because we just covered
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 12: a lot, and that right there ties it all in.
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 3: That's correct.
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 2: And I would like to see more younger people involved
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 2: in some of these positions. You follow me and some
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 2: younger thought guys like you that's in these positions. I
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 2: appreciate your time and I thank you for it. News

  Speaker 2: Radio 570. You're on the air.
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 28: Hi.
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 5: Good evening, Ron.
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 10: How are you?
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 3: I've had a fascinating discussion with Alec.
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 6: I heard parts of it.
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 3: I'm exhausted.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 3: I need to take a nap.
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 6: You're processing some. Some big issues that have far-ranging consequences
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 6: over long.
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 3: Periods of time.
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 2: But you heard what I was saying. Every generation thinks
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 2: the one before them had it easier. And that's not
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 2: always the case. You know, like, gee, my dad had
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 2: it much easier than I did. And then I think,
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 2: my dad was lucky he lived through World War II.
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 3: You follow me? I mean, it's like..
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 9: Well, that's right.
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, oh, he had it much better. Well, no.
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 2: He's lucky he made it through that and came out
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 2: alive and didn't die as a young man and occupied
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 2: a lot of his life. And then I look at
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 2: my older brother. Well, you know, you could have died
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 2: in Vietnam. You could have got Agent Orange.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 3: You could have... I looked at what was going on
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 3: during that time when he was young. You follow me?
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 3: When he was a young man.
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 7: So..
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 2: So today, a lot of young people, you don't have
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 2: to worry about being drafted. You've joined the military if
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 2: you wish. There's a lot more opportunities in the trades
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 2: and easier to get in a lot of these jobs.
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 2: That's all I'm trying to say. It's not always, boy,
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 2: the boomers had it made.
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 11: Really?
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 3: Tell Dan Rivers how.
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 2: He had it made when he was face down in
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 2: the damn mud in Vietnam when he was 20 years old.
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 3: Tell him how lucky he was, okay? I'm done.
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, your points are valid. There are certain
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 6: elements of the way the world is now that just
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 6: make life better for everybody, right? Okay, so that's true.

  Speaker 3: ahead g2.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 6: So the battle between the boomers and the Gen Z folks,
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 6: which has really reached a high pitch right now, there
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 6: are valid arguments on both sides. Yeah, the boomers bought
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 6: homes that were run down and rebuilt them in their
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 6: 20s and did all the painting and the spackling and
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 6: put new bathrooms in and created wealth with their sweat
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 6: equity with their effort. by making those homes better than
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 6: flipping them, getting to a bigger one. There was a
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 6: lot of work done. These people worked hard to do
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 6: those things. At the same time, a lot of the
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 6: younger people came out of their parents' homes and expected
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 6: to live at the same level that they were accustomed
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 6: to as their parents' children, which typically was not what happened.
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 6: You've got to go build a life. A lot of
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 6: them were impatient. All those are legitimate complaints or points.
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 6: But when the boomers start to talk down to these
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 6: Gen Z folks and dismiss their concerns, that really is
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 6: inciting a lot of this anger. You know, comments like,
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 6: you think that history began in 2015, or, you know,
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 6: these kind of comments. You're all lazy and stupid. They're not.
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 6: On the Gen Z and the millennials, the younger millennial side,
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 6: if you're in that 18 to 39 age range, And
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 6: you want to go buy a house, if you compare
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 6: median incomes to homes, they're now much more expensive than
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 6: they were.
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 5: Well, they're bigger.
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 6: Well, maybe they are.
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 3: But it doesn't.
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 6: Change the fact that to get into a market and
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 6: buy a home today is much more difficult than it
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 6: was 20 years ago.
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 2: I'll say yes to that, but they are, in many cases,
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 2: square foot wide, a lot of times much bigger and smaller.
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 2: It's not an apples-to-apples comparison in many ways.
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 6: But it doesn't matter because if you want to get
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 6: into homeownership, you can only buy the homes that exist.
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 6: And if you're going to go buy a home in
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 6: some places, I know one market that's really– I don't
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 6: know why it's like this, but I know one market
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 6: where the home that would have been purchased at two
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 6: times median income 35 years ago is now six times
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 6: median income. See, that's the key is the relationship between
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 6: your income because it's inflation– And all this theft in
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 6: the federal government has really, really distorted things.
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but let me ask you this.
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 2: With the inflation, if you're a boomer with a home
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 2: and you say, well, my home's now worth whatever, $ 500, 000.
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, so if you sell your home and you get
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 2: your $ 500, 000, well, if you're going to go buy another place,
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 2: you'll be shocked at what a smaller place is going
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 2: to cost you.
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 3: You follow me?
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 2: It's not like you've got all this wealth because if
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 2: you're going to buy a, If you're going to go,
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 2: you've got to live somewhere, and it's going to cost
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 2: you a boatload of money to do something like that.
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 2: It's all relevant.
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 3: I want to just.
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 2: Mention one thing while I still got it on my mind.
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 2: Here's what I admire about my daughter's generation, if you will, 28, 29-year-old.
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 2: How do I put this? And I'm curious your reaction
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 2: to it. They don't put up with a lot of
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 2: the crap from a lot of businesses. You follow me?
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 2: In other words, their attitude is this business isn't going
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 2: to be loyal to me and I'm not going to
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 2: be loyal to it.
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 3: You follow me?
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 2: In other words, I'm going to do the best job
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 2: I can do for you here. But if there's a
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 2: better opportunity here and they treat me better here, I'm
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 2: leaving here and I'm going over here. I'm not going
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 2: to be here for 30 years or whatever. I'm going
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 2: to go over to this place. They don't put up
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 2: with the crap. Do you understand what I'm saying?
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 2: Someone was telling me the other day, for example, it
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 2: was at a place where they worked and the air
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 2: conditioning went out and it was hot as hell there.
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 2: The people of my daughter's generation that age all left.
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 2: They didn't stay and continue to work. They said, we'll
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 2: come back when you fix the air conditioning and we
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 2: can work.
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 3: In that environment.
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 2: Till then, we're not going to be there. I mean,
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 2: there's something about that I admire.
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 6: Well, remember how it started. Companies displayed absolutely zero loyalty
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 6: to their employees.
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 6: In return, the employees displayed zero loyalty to the companies.
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 6: And so as long as there are jobs to go
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 6: to where you can make the same or better income,
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 6: as long as you have that economic freedom, that opportunity
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 6: to maintain prosperity but still have a choice, that's great.
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 6: And if you're maybe a nurse, you can do that
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 6: because there's a high demand for nurses. But overall, there
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 6: are some real problems in the job market for these people.
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 6: And remember, we talked about this a thousand times. Before
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 6: Donald Trump's first term, We went through three decades of
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 6: falling wages.
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 6: All right, so home prices are going up in inflation-adjusted terms,
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 6: and wages were going down. And that's because we imported skilled, unskilled,
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 6: and semi-skilled labor, right? And we rolled up businesses, which
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 6: created fewer small companies. There's some structural changes in the economy.
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 6: that have given this Gen Z, you know, this generation
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 6: some real economic challenges.
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 3: But I'm going to count as fast as we can. Right.
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 2: I would counter that by saying, before you go that far,
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 2: don't think that didn't affect the baby boomers, as Perot said,
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 2: when they were shipping everything out of the country. And
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 2: Perot said the sucking sound. And we had stagnant wages
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 2: for 20 or 30 years for the baby boomers. We
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 2: saw people lose their jobs, their careers, and so the
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 2: company shut down and lose their homes and everything.
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 3: That was the boomers.
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, oh, this has stressed everybody, but when you look
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 6: at wealth accumulation, the baby boomer generation has done very,
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 6: very well compared to prior generations.
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 3: Some of it. Some of it has.
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, not everybody. Look, there are a lot of people
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 6: who are in that baby boomer age. They're having a
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 6: hard time keeping their homes because of property taxes.
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 6: They're on fixed incomes and so on. But as a
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 6: general matter, it was easier to buy a house 30,
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 6: 40 years ago because median income versus median home price,
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 6: the relationship was closer.
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 2: And once again, my father took home 90% of what
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 2: he made.
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 3: Everything was lower.
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 6: And it's not just income taxes. It's income taxes. It's fees.
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 6: It's fines. Go get a speeding ticket. You've got to
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 6: take out a loan to pay the fine. There's a
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 6: small fine for the speeding. But they tack on fees
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 6: and all the things related to completely unrelated things because
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 6: the government can't stop seizing your money. So fees and
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 6: fines and costs and then these property taxes that are
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 6: completely out of control. Townships that never had income taxes
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 6: now implementing income taxes.
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 5: Because they can't tax.
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 6: Your property fast enough. They have to find another way
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 6: to come at you for a township. What are you
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 6: doing with all this money? Oh, if you don't give
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 6: us the money, we're going to take away your police protection. Well,
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 6: wait a minute. Where's the money going? We need more money.
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 6: Stop asking questions. Well, you hear it with the guy with,
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 6: you know, the county commissioner in Mahoney County who, you know,
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 6: talked like he was one of the people. Now he's
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 6: in office. He's like, hey, I can't cut any of
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 6: the spending. This is all extremely important. We have to
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 6: take more of your money. Why, you know, the minute
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 6: he got his position in that seat, he flips his
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 6: narrative to I've got to take more of your money.
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 6: So you've got taxes going up. You've got regulatory burdens
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 6: going up. You've got inflation being driven by all this spending. Well,
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 6: there's a huge part of the population that has made
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 6: huge profits in their stock portfolios and even in their
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 6: salaries from the $ 2. 5 trillion deficits we're now running. A
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 6: lot of that money goes out and buys these lake homes.
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 6: A lot of it's used in the fraud that's produced
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 6: so much money. wealth redistribution, right? Just smallies come in
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 6: and steal $ 20 billion. Well, that's $ 20 billion they took
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 6: from somebody. So I'm just saying it's a complicated argument,
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 6: but you cannot dismiss the challenges of the generation that's
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 6: looking ahead and saying, wait a minute, you told me
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 6: to learn to code. Now you're telling me only Indians
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 6: can code, and to get somebody who can code, you
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 6: have to go to Bangalore and or to Chennai, but
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 6: you certainly can't hire an American from Case Western. Can't
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 6: do that. You've got to go to Chennai or Bangalore.
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 6: And now I've got to compete with this. So I'm
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 6: going to take my computer science degree, and I'm going
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 6: to go work at a restaurant for a while. I mean,
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 6: this is, you know, you're dismissing whole departments of people
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 6: and replacing them with people from India.
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 5: For what reason?
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 6: Well, because they work for less. and once they get
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 6: into a decision-making position, they have a very racist policy
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 6: of only hiring Indians. So then we say, well, okay,
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 6: Trump's going to take care of the H-1Bs. He comes in,
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 6: he gets pressured by India and all of the tech companies,
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 6: all the billionaires, He gets pressure from Israel. All these places,
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 6: the H-1B stay. Well, they're going to say, wait a minute.
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 6: You promised me you were going to deal with these things.
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 5: I learned.
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 6: You said learn to code. I learned to code. Now
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 6: you're saying, I don't know, go to Hyderabad and code there.
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 6: It's just there are structural problems that are creating real
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 6: difficulty for people. You said, okay, well, you know, go
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 6: do manual labor. Well, we bring all our carpenters from Honduras. Okay,
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 6: we've got a shortage of skilled trades. Why aren't we
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 6: educating the Americans at a faster rate? Why are we
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 6: importing carpenters from Honduras? I was in a meeting where
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 6: a company that needed carpenters was bragging about how they,
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 6: rather than getting Americans, they got them from Honduras. They
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 6: found a pipeline and started bringing people up, training them,
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 6: and putting the work for less money than Americans were charged.
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 6: Their argument was they couldn't find Americans to do the work,
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 6: but you and I know that's not true. You can
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 6: find Americans to do the work. You can't find Americans
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 6: who can do the work at the price of a
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 6: third-world migrant. So you bring in 20 million people and
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 6: drive up the cost of apartments. So now these kids
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 6: are saying, well, all right, I can't afford a house
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 6: because it's gone from 3.2 times to 5.2 times my income.
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 6: That's out. You know, I've got insurance and interest rates
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 6: and these things to handle. So somebody go rent an apartment. Oh, no.
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 6: Look at the rental costs because we brought in 20
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 6: million people and the government began to pay the rent.
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 6: So now that person, you know, maybe, I don't know,
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 6: some normal job. Now they're not just competing with other
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 6: renters for that, for that rental unit. They're competing with
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 6: the federal government who's putting foreigners in there. In the UK,
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 6: in Ireland, they're removing Irish people from homes and replacing
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 6: them with migrants. They're kicking them out of their homes.
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 6: and replace them with migrants. If they have any kind
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 6: of credit issue, they miss a rent, payment, boom, they're out,
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 6: in comes the migrant, and the government pays the rent.
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 6: This is happening. So you've gone after the housing market,
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 6: made it very expensive to rent apartments. You've made, you know,
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 6: with regulations, cars, the cost of cars has gone up dramatically.
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 6: The cost of driving a car, you know.
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 2: And you could argue some of that's technology. I mean,
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 2: We have cars now with airbags, so you're safer in
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 2: it if you get a wreck. We have cars where
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 2: a backup camera is mandatory, which is probably a good
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 2: idea for safety's sake. There's more things on a car
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 2: that do drive up the cost and a lot more
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 2: technology in there. So they're more expensive. You can still
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 2: buy a Chevy Trax for $.
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 6: 25, 000, $ 30, 000, though.
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it used to be $ 15, 000. Right, right.
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 6: So the kill switch is a perfect example of what
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 6: I'm talking about. Now, I know Thomas Massey had to
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 6: be run out of Congress because he opposed the kill
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 6: switch and other things. Well, the kill switch means that
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 6: I have to go write a check for a car
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 6: that I have to pay for an increase in technology
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 6: so that the government can monitor my location and turn
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 6: off my car. I have to pay for that. Because
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 6: the government mandated it, and the Republican Party refuses to stand.
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 3: Up against it. All right, now here's the argument, and
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 3: I'm going to give you the argument, and I'm going
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 3: to give you the answer. Are you ready?
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 3: Well, you're paranoid. The government doesn't care where you're going
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 3: or what you're doing, or they're not that interested in
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 3: your business.
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 2: In general, that's probably a pretty true statement. But wait
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 2: a minute.
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 13: Let's say..
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 3: That was true, right? Until you're the Canadian.
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 2: Truck drivers and you're at a protest and they say,
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 2: we're going to cut off your banking and everything because
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 2: we don't want you here and we don't like what
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 2: you're doing.
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 3: Then it does matter. You follow what I'm saying? Let
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 3: me give.
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 6: You one closer to home. All right. Back in 2020
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 6: and 2021, parents saw for the first time what was
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 6: happening in their schools. They had no idea. They assumed
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 6: the schools were the schools they went to. They saw
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 6: the grooming. They saw the pornography. They saw these bizarre
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 6: lessons that are telling them the country's horrible, their kids
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 6: are horrible, this one's an oppressor, that one's oppressed. This radical,
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 6: woke ideology being drilled into their children finally got exposed.
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 6: So they started going to school board meetings complaining. There's
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 6: a bulletin that comes out of the government on a
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 6: regular basis out of Homeland Security. identifying the most critical threats.
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 6: They put parents going to school board meetings on there.
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 6: So if you were a parent..
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 3: AG2, don't forget Catholics, too.
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 6: Oh, they got the Catholics. Oh, yeah, Catholics that go
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 6: to Latin Mass.
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 10: Right?
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 3: And, of course, white people. White people.
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, the idea that they made nationalism a
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 6: bad thing is a fascinating use of propaganda.
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 6: You care about your country. You're loyal to your country.
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 6: You want your country to do well.
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 3: You're a troublemaker, G2.
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 6: You're a bad person. So think about these examples. A
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 6: Catholic going to a Catholic mass is driving a car
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 6: there unless they're Amish, right?
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 5: Or can walk.
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 6: So all you have to do now is geofence that mass,
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 6: identify all the phones in there, and Then geofence all
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 6: those cars in this next generation of technology. And you'll
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 6: know who's at that mask and who isn't. And if
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 6: you don't want them going to that mask, you can
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 6: turn off their car.
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 2: And as goofy as all of this sounds, I mean,
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 2: because you've got to admit, if you're listening to this,
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 2: you've got to say, this guy's a paranoid nut. But
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 2: it happened in Canada with the truck drivers during the
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 2: COVID protest.
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 6: Well, in Australia... If they decided you were exposed, they
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 6: would turn off your bank accounts.
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 3: And put you in like a TB center against your will.
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 6: The army would come and pick you up and take
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 6: you to a camp.
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 6: So this is real. It is happening. Yes, the federal
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 6: government put parents going to school board meetings on a
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 6: list of enemies of the state. And those people were
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 6: beginning to be surveilled. They were being surveilled.
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 9: So..
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 6: All this technology is designed so anybody that is foolish
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 6: enough to think that the Fourth Amendment was written by
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 6: people who didn't understand the nature of government, that's just silliness.
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 3: Stand by. We're watching you, G2. We know where you are.
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 2: Our satellite phone in an undisclosed location.
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 3: We'll be right back. If you run a business, you know,
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 3: I'm from the kingdom of.
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 2: Mahoning, 554 News Radio 570. Would it shock you if
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 2: I said the following statement to you, G2? That it
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 2: wouldn't surprise me at all.
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 5: At all.
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 3: If they're not surveilling you.
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 3: Um.
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 6: I had a discussion with a group of people over
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 6: the last two or three days about what we call
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 6: compiling coincidences.
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 2: Sounds very scientific, doesn't it?
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 9: There are.
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 6: Concurrent coincidences popping up all over the place all the time.
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 6: And you can tell when they're happening and when they're not.
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 6: And the truth of the matter is, I don't do
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 6: anything that would be worthy of surveillance, and yet I
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 6: know I've been surveilled. And I'm telling you that if
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 6: you went to school board meetings and you complained about
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 6: the sexualization of the school environment, you were being surveilled,
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 6: you were potentially being tracked, you may have been surveilled online,
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 6: you probably ended up on a list if you did
• 2:16:41
  Speaker 6: it more than a couple of times. So anyone foolish
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 6: enough to say, I'm willing to trade my freedom for safety,
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 6: will end up with neither. Because sooner or later, the
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 6: oppression will grow, the economic burden of government is going
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 6: to keep growing until people finally say they've had enough.
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 6: And when you say you've had enough, that's when they
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 6: will come for you. So, You know, it is just
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 6: so naive and childish to think that government is somehow
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 6: your friend.
• 2:17:12
  Speaker 10: It is not.
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 6: And, you know, to that end, they passed the NDAA
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 6: today with a $ 1. 1 trillion number on it in the House,
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 6: not through the Senate yet. And with this Section 219
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 6: that integrates Israel into our military system, something that's Never
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 6: been done.
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 5: People say, oh, no, no, no.
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 6: Again, they're not given command authority. Well, they seem to
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 6: be able to command Congress. I don't know. There's no
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 6: other country we're integrating into our system. What is the
• 2:17:43
  Speaker 6: purpose of this? Well, we'll be more efficient. We don't
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 6: need laws to make us more efficient. The military has
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 6: a lot of ways to improve its efficiency. There's no
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 6: law required. This is not in service to the United States.
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 6: The fact that we don't have representation in Congress is
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 6: going to make things worse until it gets to a
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 6: point where that person thinks they're okay because the government's
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 6: their friend. is going to realize the government's not their friend,
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 6: and they're going to wish they had something like the
• 2:18:11
  Speaker 6: Fourth Amendment to protect them.
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 3: So that passed the House?
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 6: Passed the House. Seven Republicans voted no. Chip Roy was one.
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 6: Hageman was one. Some great, great folks. Tim Burschett, I think,
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 6: voted no. Of course, Thomas Massey, who had to be
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 6: removed from Congress because Israel got mad at him, voted no.
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, why would you ever want that merger? That
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 2: is so wrong.
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 6: The reason you want that merger is that you now,
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 6: rather than having to get foreign aid, the money that
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 6: goes to Israel goes to the military budget, which has
• 2:18:49
  Speaker 6: no scrutiny, no oversight, no reporting. None of us will
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 6: ever again know how much money Israel's getting once this passes.
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 6: So you want that because you're either getting money from
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 6: Israel or you're getting money from the defense industry. that's
• 2:19:05
  Speaker 6: going to use this connection to launder more money. That's why.
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 3: We'll talk more about that perhaps tomorrow or Friday if
• 2:19:14
  Speaker 3: we get time. But remember where we're going to start.
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 3: Got it? Until then, here's my suggestion. Turn off the
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 3: satellite phone, throw it in a bucket of water, and
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 3: get back in the bunker.
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's time to break out the Faraday bag. Have
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 6: a great night.
• 2:19:31
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 2: G2 on NewsRadio 570.
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 3: Stay tuned. The Guardians are coming up next. Ron Furman
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 3: from the Kingdom of Mahoney. Thanks for doing it.
