- 0:00Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
- 0:03Speaker 2: All right, Heidi Ho, 3.05 in the afternoon, NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Ron Verb, what a glorious Friday afternoon we have in store.
- 0:14Speaker 2: 78 degrees, nice to be with you.
- 0:16Speaker 3: 330-729-9977, 330-729-9977.
- 0:16Speaker 2: We'll get you through to us on NewsRadio 570 WKBN. Welcome,
- 0:18Speaker 2: welcome one and all. How about this deal with Trump?
- 0:30Speaker 2: I mean, you've got to admit, this is ridiculous. We're
- 0:33Speaker 2: going to rename Lake Ontario Lake America. I mean, this
- 0:37Speaker 2: is getting a little ridiculous. As I said to you previously,
- 0:43Speaker 2: as ridiculous as I thought when Biden was changing the
- 0:46Speaker 2: names of things, as ridiculous as I thought the Democrats
- 0:50Speaker 2: were when they were ripping down our history, removing statues,
- 0:55Speaker 2: whitewashing our history, if you will, when they were doing
- 0:58Speaker 2: that nonsense. And I found it just very offensive as
- 1:04Speaker 2: an American. Forget Democrat and Republican for once in your life.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Forget all of that. Just sometimes think as an American.
- 1:11Speaker 2: And how frustrated I was when I saw the Democrats
- 1:14Speaker 2: doing that kind of stuff. Well, we got to take
- 1:16Speaker 2: this statue down. We got to rename Fort Hood. With
- 1:20Speaker 2: the shenanigans that they were pulling with the political correct philosophy.
- 1:25Speaker 2: And when Trump got back in office and when he said, okay,
- 1:27Speaker 2: we're going to go back and we're going to name
- 1:29Speaker 2: it Fort Hood again, I agreed with him in doing
- 1:32Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. I totally agreed with him saying, okay,
- 1:36Speaker 2: enough of this stuff. We're going back to what these
- 1:39Speaker 2: things were known as. I mean, I never agreed with
- 1:41Speaker 2: ripping these statues down and this kind of nonsense that
- 1:43Speaker 2: the Democrats were doing in the renaming. I was glad
- 1:46Speaker 2: Trump put history back in its place. But with that
- 1:50Speaker 2: being said, I'm equally as just frustrated with Trump trying–
- 1:55Speaker 2: Trying to change the name. Can I tell you this?
- 1:59Speaker 2: I just want to tell you this. I think it
- 2:02Speaker 2: should be the Department of Defense. This whole Department of War.
- 2:06Speaker 2: We're going to change the name to Department of Defense,
- 2:08Speaker 2: the Department of War. I mean, this is what we're
- 2:11Speaker 2: worried about. It's ridiculous. We're going to change the Kennedy
- 2:16Speaker 2: Trump Center. We're going to– all these people want to
- 2:21Speaker 2: put his name on everything. Give me a break. And
- 2:24Speaker 2: then if you go one step further and you take
- 2:26Speaker 2: a look at this Lake Ontario, let's call it Lake America,
- 2:33Speaker 2: enough of this. Some of this stuff is just crazy.
- 2:36Speaker 2: All right. Got that off my chest. 307, you're on
- 2:38Speaker 2: the air. Welcome.
- 2:42Speaker 4: Have you taken a– Look back into Mark Carney's past.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Who's past?
- 2:49Speaker 4: The leader of Canada. And not only what he's done,
- 2:57Speaker 4: who he's worked for, and the things that he has
- 3:01Speaker 4: said over the years.
- 3:04Speaker 2: Have you looked at some of these wackos that the
- 3:06Speaker 2: Democrats are running and winning in their primary elections? Have
- 3:10Speaker 2: you looked at some of these people that are winning
- 3:12Speaker 2: and what they have to say? My God, it's frightening.
- 3:15Speaker 4: Well, it's frightening because it's the same thing. See, and
- 3:20Speaker 4: that's the deal. Communism was never about a country. It
- 3:24Speaker 4: was about the party. Party's the number one thing. So
- 3:27Speaker 4: you get this kook in Canada doing and saying the things. Oh,
- 3:32Speaker 4: what is it now?
- 3:33Speaker 5: The....
- 3:35Speaker 4: What's their BBC, whatever, Canadian, CBC, maybe, whatever. And, yeah,
- 3:41Speaker 4: nobody there is allowed to say that 9-11 was a
- 3:45Speaker 4: terrorist attack because, you know, we're going to be talking
- 3:47Speaker 4: about it, but nobody's going to say terrorist attack like 9-11.
- 3:51Speaker 4: It sounds like Ilhan Omar wrote their news script, like
- 3:56Speaker 4: some people did some things. Or go down the list
- 4:02Speaker 4: of all the, like you just said, DSA people here,
- 4:06Speaker 4: because they all say the same thing.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Isn't it crazy when you start to see someone be interviewed?
- 4:13Speaker 2: I was watching, was it the woman in... Florida. She
- 4:18Speaker 2: didn't even know what the national debt was. I mean,
- 4:21Speaker 2: some of these people are running when they're asked these questions. Well,
- 4:25Speaker 2: we support Medicare for all. Listen, Medicare is a great program.
- 4:28Speaker 2: You got to qualify for it. You got to be 65.
- 4:31Speaker 2: You got to work so long and pay taxes and
- 4:33Speaker 2: do it just as your employer does for you. But
- 4:36Speaker 2: it's still got financial problems despite all of that, representing
- 4:40Speaker 2: just our senior citizens. It's a great program. But the
- 4:42Speaker 2: idea that you could provide it to everybody, well, how
- 4:45Speaker 2: are you going to pay for that? Who's going to
- 4:47Speaker 2: pay for that? How much is that going to cost?
- 4:50Speaker 2: I mean, the people that champion this kind of stuff
- 4:52Speaker 2: are absolutely clueless to any of that, any of those
- 4:56Speaker 2: answers of what's going on. They just say, well, we
- 5:00Speaker 2: want to have free daycare. We want to have free college.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Everything's free, but nothing's free. It just means we're going
- 5:08Speaker 2: to have to come up with money somewhere else. by
- 5:11Speaker 2: taxing somebody else and taking their money to pay for
- 5:14Speaker 2: all this stuff. And how do you do that when
- 5:16Speaker 2: you're $ 40 trillion in debt? I mean, the Democrats, people
- 5:19Speaker 2: that are winning in a lot of these primaries, it's
- 5:23Speaker 2: troubling to me that anybody would vote for him, including
- 5:26Speaker 2: Sherrod Brown. You look at Sherrod Brown running these ads,
- 5:30Speaker 2: you would think this guy's never been in the Senate. Well,
- 5:34Speaker 2: he's been around forever, for 30 years. And he's talking
- 5:38Speaker 2: about all the stuff he's going to do if he's
- 5:39Speaker 2: going to get elected. He supported every wacky ass thing
- 5:42Speaker 2: that Joe Biden believed in. The open border, the pronouns,
- 5:47Speaker 2: all of this crazy liberal stuff. He supported 100 percent.
- 5:51Speaker 2: And now he's now he's running like he's a newcomer.
- 5:54Speaker 2: I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that.
- 5:56Speaker 2: You should have your head examined if you vote for
- 5:58Speaker 2: Sherrod Brown.
- 5:59Speaker 6: Really?
- 6:00Speaker 2: The guy is a liberal nut job.
- 6:01Speaker 4: And to keep on this topic. VSA thing. So in
- 6:09Speaker 4: the Canadian leader's office, his chief operating officer, something like that,
- 6:15Speaker 4: they called her. She worked on the Hillary Clinton campaign,
- 6:19Speaker 4: the Biden campaign, and Kamala Harris campaign. That's who they
- 6:25Speaker 4: have in their office. So conversely, they send their leftist
- 6:31Speaker 4: freaks from hell down to Florida to help the lady
- 6:33Speaker 4: you just talked about get elected. That's what's going on.
- 6:36Speaker 4: The party is bigger than the country because the leftists,
- 6:40Speaker 4: the communists, the Marxists, they want to take over the world.
- 6:44Speaker 4: They don't care what country it is. Even Venezuela, it
- 6:49Speaker 4: doesn't matter. China, it doesn't matter. But that's what they're
- 6:53Speaker 4: doing today. There's people from other countries involved in our elections.
- 6:59Speaker 7: Okay.
- 7:00Speaker 4: Can somebody look into that, please? And obviously, you know,
- 7:06Speaker 4: they're not all idiots. They might be all disgusting creeps. But,
- 7:11Speaker 4: you know, they know the rules. And, well, we didn't
- 7:14Speaker 4: do this, but we did this. And that didn't cost
- 7:16Speaker 4: any money, so we did this. So, you know, the
- 7:19Speaker 4: foreign help in elections is okay.
- 7:21Speaker 8: Okay.
- 7:23Speaker 4: All right. Thank you for getting out of the way.
- 7:27Speaker 4: Now you're cooped up on the flock cameras. I hear
- 7:32Speaker 4: you're in favor of that.
- 7:35Speaker 2: I am in favor of flock cameras.
- 7:37Speaker 5: Listen.
- 7:39Speaker 2: I understand with everything there's pluses and minuses, but there
- 7:44Speaker 2: is a reality. I mean, flock cameras, I'm not paranoid
- 7:48Speaker 2: of them. I always hear people say, what about this?
- 7:51Speaker 2: What about that? What about this instance? What about that instance?
- 7:55Speaker 2: I support the flock cameras. They're a technology tool that
- 7:59Speaker 2: your local police department can use to become more efficient
- 8:03Speaker 2: and catch fleeing criminals. And it just is technology. Listen,
- 8:10Speaker 2: you go to a store, you're on all kinds of cameras.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Some store parking lots privately have flock cameras. So you
- 8:19Speaker 2: have store parking lots with cameras, stores with cameras, people
- 8:23Speaker 2: with ring doorbells, all of that kind of stuff. all
- 8:26Speaker 2: over the place. You're out in public. These flock cameras
- 8:29Speaker 2: take a picture of your license plate to see if
- 8:33Speaker 2: there's any warrants or your car is stolen. Anything along
- 8:37Speaker 2: those lines to try to capture criminals. And I'm all
- 8:41Speaker 2: for them. For example, just the other night, we had
- 8:44Speaker 2: another shooting in Austintown at a bar. And the people
- 8:48Speaker 2: at flock cameras do make your community safer. And crime
- 8:54Speaker 2: is getting in– well, I think crime is an issue.
- 9:00Speaker 2: So if you can keep your cops safer and your
- 9:04Speaker 2: community safer and more efficient, why would you be opposed
- 9:08Speaker 2: to it out of the fear? Well, what if this?
- 9:10Speaker 2: What if that? Well, that isn't the case. What can
- 9:14Speaker 2: I say?
- 9:14Speaker 4: Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
- 9:17Speaker 4: So the people before they wrote the Constitution, right, we're
- 9:21Speaker 4: going back to the 1700s now for those, you know,
- 9:25Speaker 4: people who were intellectually challenged. But they said you can't
- 9:29Speaker 4: just have an open warrant and go look at everything.
- 9:32Speaker 4: Because you know what they'll do? They'll go everywhere and
- 9:35Speaker 4: they'll look at everything until they find something. Now, look,
- 9:39Speaker 4: forget about history. Forget about all of that. Go back
- 9:43Speaker 4: to 2021 when Joe Biden took office. There's police at
- 9:49Speaker 4: churches writing down the license plate numbers. There's police at
- 9:54Speaker 4: the school board meetings writing down the license plate numbers.
- 9:58Speaker 4: There's the FBI. saying, oh, no, no, no, we were
- 10:02Speaker 4: just looking, there was just a letter at the Richmond,
- 10:06Speaker 4: Virginia FBI field office concerning traditional Catholics and how they
- 10:11Speaker 4: were a threat. And then we come back to find
- 10:14Speaker 4: out six months later, oh, it was a nationwide thing?
- 10:17Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 10:18Speaker 4: Because the government lies to you to do what they
- 10:21Speaker 4: want to do.
- 10:22Speaker 9: And you know this, Ron.
- 10:26Speaker 4: I'm not for the criminals. I'm for the police. I'm
- 10:29Speaker 4: for people not getting in trouble or, you know, the
- 10:34Speaker 4: police all the time. So I'm in favor of them
- 10:37Speaker 4: having the body cams. Right. You can't let this happen.
- 10:42Speaker 4: Imagine what they would do when Trump's the racist, Trump's
- 10:47Speaker 4: the misogynist, Trump's the Islamophobe, Trump's the everything. And guess what?
- 10:52Speaker 4: After January 6th, we're all criminals. You vote for Trump,
- 10:56Speaker 4: we're stopping you. Look what they did to the truckers
- 10:58Speaker 4: in Canada. You can't give your government that much power.
- 11:03Speaker 4: Alex said it the other day, and going back to
- 11:06Speaker 4: Ben Franklin, if you give up your freedom for security,
- 11:14Speaker 4: you deserve and will get neither.
- 11:15Speaker 2: Well, listen, listen, I understand people's opposition to it. I
- 11:20Speaker 2: have a differing opinion. You know where I stand as
- 11:23Speaker 2: far as my suspicion of governments. I am not concerned
- 11:26Speaker 2: about flock cameras and how they are being used. And
- 11:31Speaker 2: in the hypotheticals, people can have hypotheticals. If we ever
- 11:33Speaker 2: get to that point, then we'll have to deal with
- 11:36Speaker 2: it at that point. But you have them now. And
- 11:40Speaker 2: they've been around for the longest time in Youngstown, in Boardman,
- 11:44Speaker 2: in Niles. And no one's making a big damn deal
- 11:48Speaker 2: out of them and hasn't been. And we haven't had
- 11:50Speaker 2: any issues with it other than it makes your police
- 11:53Speaker 2: departments a lot more efficient at finding fleeing criminals. If
- 11:59Speaker 2: you've got somebody with a murder warrant.
- 12:04Speaker 2: That's driving into your community off of the freeway down
- 12:10Speaker 2: on 46, and that flock camera catches that plate, it's
- 12:14Speaker 2: probably a good thing that your police department is alerted
- 12:18Speaker 2: to it so that that person can be apprehended. I
- 12:21Speaker 2: just believe the current situation as it stands now, the
- 12:25Speaker 2: positives far outweigh any of the negatives and hypotheticals that
- 12:31Speaker 2: people are putting out there. I mean, it just far
- 12:35Speaker 2: outweighs it.
- 12:36Speaker 4: Look at the local police. And, you know, I'm not
- 12:40Speaker 4: saying they're horrible people, but they're using it, right?
- 12:45Speaker 2: Anybody that's around the country. Once again, you want to
- 12:49Speaker 2: paint with a broad brush. Any cops that abuse the
- 12:53Speaker 2: Leeds computer, which is in their car, are punished and
- 12:56Speaker 2: or fired or both. In the same situation as was
- 13:01Speaker 2: stated by the chief in Austintown applies to these type
- 13:05Speaker 2: cameras as well. It will not be tolerated. It will
- 13:08Speaker 2: not be overlooked. The same criteria applies. Now, do you
- 13:12Speaker 2: have some bad cops that did that?
- 13:14Speaker 10: Yes.
- 13:14Speaker 2: Did they get caught doing it?
- 13:16Speaker 9: Yes.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Was there ramifications to it?
- 13:18Speaker 11: Yes.
- 13:19Speaker 2: In other areas. And there should be. I mean, I
- 13:22Speaker 2: don't know how to say. Unfortunately, sometimes we have bad judges.
- 13:26Speaker 2: We have bad cops. We have bad doctors. We have that.
- 13:28Speaker 2: But I'm not going to throw the baby out with
- 13:30Speaker 2: the bathwater because of that. Overall, that is not an issue.
- 13:36Speaker 4: If you've got.
- 13:39Speaker 2: An abducted child, you've got a stolen car. You've got
- 13:43Speaker 2: somebody with a murder warrant coming into your community. You've
- 13:47Speaker 2: got somebody that they're pursuing. So that they know where
- 13:51Speaker 2: they are, that instead of guessing with limited manpower and
- 13:56Speaker 2: limited budgets on police departments, it's a tool to make
- 14:02Speaker 2: you more efficient. They use technology. I mean, why shouldn't
- 14:07Speaker 2: they be able to embrace it the same as us?
- 14:09Speaker 2: People can in their own homes with Ring or stores do.
- 14:13Speaker 12: That's fine.
- 14:14Speaker 4: That's fine.
- 14:15Speaker 2: Or anyone else.
- 14:16Speaker 4: Or the business or your home. That's fine.
- 14:18Speaker 11: That's not my issue.
- 14:21Speaker 4: I can't say anything about that. But the government, what
- 14:24Speaker 4: they've already done to us, the lockdown from the China virus.
- 14:28Speaker 1: All right.
- 14:29Speaker 13: Exactly.
- 14:29Speaker 2: Listen, I'm in total agreement with you on that. But
- 14:33Speaker 2: here's the reality. And I say this again. What's happened
- 14:37Speaker 2: to Fauci? Has Fauci been held accountable? We have all
- 14:41Speaker 2: of this screaming from Republicans and Democrats, and I haven't
- 14:45Speaker 2: seen anybody go to jail with the Russian hoax that
- 14:48Speaker 2: happened on Trump's first term. I haven't seen anybody go
- 14:52Speaker 2: to jail with Fauci who, well, let's be realistic. The
- 14:56Speaker 2: government was funding this through Fauci, and they were also
- 15:00Speaker 2: doing it, had it located in China. No one's being
- 15:04Speaker 2: held accountable for this at all. We were lied to
- 15:08Speaker 2: about the bio labs in the Ukraine. I get all
- 15:10Speaker 2: of this. I talk about it all and say you
- 15:14Speaker 2: got every reason to doubt your government in many, many,
- 15:18Speaker 2: many ways. But in this particular case, I just don't
- 15:22Speaker 2: think you throw everything out and say we're not going
- 15:25Speaker 2: to use any technology in your local community to to
- 15:30Speaker 2: try to apprehend criminals. I drove here today through Youngstown
- 15:36Speaker 2: to come to the radio station. Youngstown has flock cameras.
- 15:41Speaker 2: Big deal. I didn't get pulled over. I mean, I
- 15:45Speaker 2: didn't feel violated. Hell, I went through Boardman. Everybody's got it.
- 15:50Speaker 2: What's the big damn deal? You're driving with them now.
- 15:53Speaker 2: You want to say, well, what if this happens? Well,
- 15:55Speaker 2: I'll tell you, if that happens, then I think it
- 15:58Speaker 2: should be dealt with on a local level, and it
- 16:00Speaker 2: should be dealt with on a local level, period. And
- 16:03Speaker 2: I think you have more control on a local level
- 16:05Speaker 2: than obviously you do on a federal level.
- 16:09Speaker 4: And I'm just afraid we won't be able to stop it.
- 16:13Speaker 4: Because they won't let you get to McClurg over there
- 16:18Speaker 4: and have a Republican meeting because they'll be shutting it
- 16:21Speaker 4: down and arresting anybody that's going there.
- 16:24Speaker 14: That's all.
- 16:25Speaker 15: Society hasn't gotten better lately.
- 16:29Speaker 9: It's gotten worse.
- 16:29Speaker 2: All right. I understand people's concerns about that. I get that.
- 16:34Speaker 2: But I don't... Go along with it. I understand it, though.
- 16:38Speaker 2: I get it. The government's put themselves in that position
- 16:43Speaker 2: because of it. I understand all of that. I tell
- 16:49Speaker 2: you on a regular basis how frustrating is it, just
- 16:54Speaker 2: how frustrating it can be. When your government seems to
- 17:00Speaker 2: cover everything up or lie to you. We'll be back.
- 17:03Speaker 2: Stay tuned. So your next five minutes could be your
- 17:12Speaker 2: most productive. Ron Furb, News Radio 570 WKBN. You're on air.
- 17:22Speaker 16: Hello?
- 17:22Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
- 17:25Speaker 14: Hey, Ron. The Democrat governor, Josh Shapiro, is removing all
- 17:32Speaker 14: data centers from fast-track permits.
- 17:36Speaker 2: Who's that?
- 17:36Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 17:37Speaker 14: Josh Shapiro, Democrat governor. Bernie Sanders is proposing legislation to
- 17:45Speaker 14: put a moratorium on the construction of all data centers.
- 17:49Speaker 14: And so is Ocasio-Cortez and Abdul El-Sayed. And Trump in
- 17:55Speaker 14: Fox News says that if you oppose data centers, you
- 17:59Speaker 14: are far left. Now, Democrat candidate Gina Hinojosa is running
- 18:05Speaker 14: for Texas governor against incumbent Republican Greg Abbott in using
- 18:11Speaker 14: Abbott's support for data centers against them. But 70% of
- 18:16Speaker 14: Americans opposed data centers. Now, normally Republicans running for governors
- 18:22Speaker 14: in Texas beat their Democrat opponents by a 10 to
- 18:26Speaker 14: 12 percentage points, or I should say 10 to 12
- 18:31Speaker 14: percentage points. But even lifelong Republican voters are threatening to
- 18:37Speaker 14: cross party lines and vote Democrat. And the latest poll
- 18:42Speaker 14: has Abbott getting only 50% of the vote compared to
- 18:46Speaker 14: Hinojosa polling at 49%. There's a dead heat in Texas.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Well, we shall see. I mean, there's a couple of
- 18:54Speaker 2: things I say about that. A lot of times the
- 18:56Speaker 2: polling isn't accurate. We've seen it in a number of
- 18:59Speaker 2: races just recently in a primary where the polling is
- 19:02Speaker 2: way off. where it isn't even close. But if you
- 19:07Speaker 2: go and you say, well, I'm going to vote for
- 19:09Speaker 2: this Democrat because of that one issue, I think it's
- 19:14Speaker 2: a foolish vote because of the things Democrats stand for.
- 19:18Speaker 2: As frustrating as I can get with Trump, with the
- 19:21Speaker 2: Lake Ontario thing, with the war as far as Iran
- 19:24Speaker 2: is concerned, Do you think I would ever vote for
- 19:27Speaker 2: a Democrat like Sherry Brown? Do you think I would
- 19:30Speaker 2: ever vote for a Democrat that thinks that wants to
- 19:33Speaker 2: go back to men can have babies, can't define a woman,
- 19:37Speaker 2: transgenderism in your school. We're going to hire based on
- 19:41Speaker 2: your skin color, not on merits. And if you're gay
- 19:44Speaker 2: and it's nonsense, we've got an open border. We're going
- 19:47Speaker 2: to let all these people come into the country. We
- 19:49Speaker 2: don't believe in borders. We don't believe in ice. We
- 19:53Speaker 2: don't believe in the police. I mean, you think I
- 19:56Speaker 2: would vote for this socialism we're going to take from
- 19:59Speaker 2: this person over here and where we want Medicare for all,
- 20:02Speaker 2: but we have no idea how to pay for this stuff.
- 20:04Speaker 2: Do you think I would vote for that under any circumstances?
- 20:09Speaker 2: I mean, even when it comes to data centers, under
- 20:12Speaker 2: any circumstances that I would say, I'm still going to
- 20:16Speaker 2: vote for the Democrat. There is absolutely no way in
- 20:20Speaker 2: hell I will vote for Amy Acton for Ohio governor.
- 20:24Speaker 2: There's no way in hell I will vote for Sherrod Brown.
- 20:27Speaker 2: And I think if you do, you should have your
- 20:29Speaker 2: head examined based on what they stand for and what
- 20:32Speaker 2: they believe in. And I don't want the pronouns. I
- 20:37Speaker 2: don't want the nonsense of the social agenda. I will
- 20:39Speaker 2: not do it. I will not support it. And in
- 20:42Speaker 2: many cases, I don't believe those polls. I absolutely don't
- 20:47Speaker 2: believe those polls to be accurate. And we see in
- 20:51Speaker 2: many cases that they're not accurate. So I don't know
- 20:54Speaker 2: where to go with all of that kind of stuff.
- 20:58Speaker 14: Time will tell, but Republicans are behind in... Normally, Republican
- 21:05Speaker 14: states like North Carolina for like Senate and Congress. So
- 21:10Speaker 14: it's not just Texas.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Right.
- 21:13Speaker 2: And I think that there's a reason why Republicans have
- 21:16Speaker 2: cause to be concerned. It's the economy. And listen, I
- 21:21Speaker 2: think Republicans are in a bind not because of me,
- 21:25Speaker 2: solely because of Trump, because of Trump and the war
- 21:29Speaker 2: and Trump and with the inflate the economy. From inflation
- 21:34Speaker 2: and economy into war, I think Trump has hurt a
- 21:38Speaker 2: lot of Republicans because of decisions he made. Now, a
- 21:42Speaker 2: lot of them ride on his coattails, but hopefully to
- 21:48Speaker 2: vote opposite that is just a disaster, an absolute disaster.
- 21:55Speaker 14: Well, the other day, Trump said he wants the Republican-controlled
- 22:01Speaker 14: Congress to to give him another $ 5 trillion increase in
- 22:07Speaker 14: the national debt, on top of the $ 40 trillion we
- 22:11Speaker 14: have already. And today's financial news is, quote, the stock
- 22:17Speaker 14: market forfeits gains in bond yields and the U.S. dollar
- 22:21Speaker 14: rise because investors fear that interest rates are going to
- 22:27Speaker 14: go even higher.
- 22:29Speaker 2: Well, I think there is that possibility. But once again,
- 22:34Speaker 2: we shall see. I mean, there's a possibility of that.
- 22:37Speaker 2: I am concerned about the debt deficit before Trump, during Trump,
- 22:43Speaker 2: and after Trump. But if the answer is the Democrats, well,
- 22:47Speaker 2: they want to give everything away to everybody. How are
- 22:50Speaker 2: they going to pay for it? They're just going to
- 22:52Speaker 2: make the debt even worse. So I wish Republicans and
- 22:56Speaker 2: Democrats as a whole— it seems to me the whole damn
- 22:58Speaker 2: lot of them— Don't give a damn about the debt
- 23:01Speaker 2: deficit at all, and haven't for the longest period of time.
- 23:04Speaker 2: Look what the Democrats did to Elon Musk to try
- 23:07Speaker 2: to drive him out of his mission to find the
- 23:09Speaker 2: fraud and waste. That says all you need to know
- 23:11Speaker 2: about Democrats and the debt deficit.
- 23:16Speaker 14: Well, I've been talking about how they've been artificially suppressing
- 23:21Speaker 14: interest rates going back to Obama. So yields on treasuries
- 23:25Speaker 14: have to go higher. In order to get investors to buy.
- 23:29Speaker 2: Right. Stand by for a minute. Just stand by. Back
- 23:31Speaker 2: with Frank. More of your calls ahead. Ron Furb from
- 23:33Speaker 2: the Kingdom of Mahoning with you tonight. Till 6.

- 23:39Speaker 17: A Lucas County woman is accused in the fatal stabbing
- 23:45Speaker 17: of a 20-year-old man in Toledo. 46-year-old Sophia Harris is
- 23:49Speaker 17: facing murder charges in the death of Tyler McKee. The
- 23:52Speaker 17: incident happened last Saturday near Scott High School, with McKee
- 23:56Speaker 17: later dying at the hospital. Harris is being held on
- 23:59Speaker 17: a bond of $ 1. 1 million. An overnight shooting in Over
- 24:03Speaker 17: the Rhine has left two people injured. Police called to
- 24:06Speaker 17: the scene on East McMicken Avenue, found two men suffering
- 24:09Speaker 17: from non-life-threatening injuries. No arrests have been reported. A Reynoldsburg
- 24:14Speaker 17: educator is being named Ohio's Teacher of the Year. Taya

- 24:42Speaker 2: Ron Verb going to go on out and check in
- 24:43Speaker 2: with Mike. Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN. so
- 24:55Speaker 2: I mean there's I don't know where you go with
- 24:59Speaker 2: all of it all I can say is Frank I've
- 25:01Speaker 2: been disappointed in Republicans and Democrats over as long as
- 25:04Speaker 2: I've been around on not taking the debt and deficit
- 25:07Speaker 2: seriously and increasing it and not doing a thing I
- 25:13Speaker 2: saw what they did to Elon Musk and it was
- 25:16Speaker 2: reprehensible where do you go.
- 25:24Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm here, Ron.
- 25:24Speaker 2: All right. I saw what they did to Musk. So
- 25:28Speaker 2: I don't think there's a serious... They were talking under Musk, Frank.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Do you remember of $ 2 trillion a year of fraud?
- 25:37Speaker 2: I mean, that's your tax dollars and mine just being
- 25:40Speaker 2: pissed away on political nonsense. And they did everything to
- 25:44Speaker 2: destroy Musk. And I don't think you'll ever find anybody
- 25:46Speaker 2: willing to take it on again. I'm not optimistic that
- 25:49Speaker 2: it'd ever be solved. I think it'd continue to grow till...
- 25:52Speaker 2: Everything busts as a result of it. And I agree
- 25:57Speaker 2: with you. I think it's creating a major problem for
- 26:02Speaker 2: this country and getting people to buy the treasuries.
- 26:07Speaker 14: Well, you know, another financial news today. Trump's very upset
- 26:14Speaker 14: with Kevin Warsh, the Federal Reserve chairman, because he will
- 26:19Speaker 14: not cut interest rates. But Ron, yields on treasuries have
- 26:24Speaker 14: to go higher in order to get investors to buy
- 26:27Speaker 14: an additional $ 1 trillion of new treasuries issued every three
- 26:32Speaker 14: to five months. I mean, think about that, $ 1 trillion
- 26:37Speaker 14: of new treasuries every three to five months on top
- 26:41Speaker 14: of all the treasuries that are out there. Yields also
- 26:45Speaker 14: have to go higher to overcome investor fears on inflation
- 26:49Speaker 14: and government spending. and a sharp increase is incurring in
- 26:54Speaker 14: interest rates, not only in our country, in Japan, but
- 26:59Speaker 14: all across Europe as well. And Washington is intentionally keeping
- 27:03Speaker 14: interest rates artificially low because only a small increase in
- 27:08Speaker 14: interest rates will cause a huge increase in government debt payments.
- 27:13Speaker 14: So by keeping interest rates artificially low, the Treasury and
- 27:17Speaker 14: the Fed weakens the value of the dollar, which causes inflation.
- 27:22Speaker 14: And a falling dollar and skyrocketing fuel prices caused by
- 27:26Speaker 14: the Iran war is why wages are not keeping up
- 27:31Speaker 14: with the higher cost of living.
- 27:33Speaker 2: I don't think wages could keep up with this inflation
- 27:36Speaker 2: that we've had. I don't know that there's a company
- 27:39Speaker 2: that's can keep pace with this ridiculous inflation. You would
- 27:44Speaker 2: know finances as well as anybody. I think there are
- 27:47Speaker 2: plenty of people that retired, and it was pretty much
- 27:50Speaker 2: the status quo, and it should be. We never even
- 27:53Speaker 2: really noticed inflation for the longest period of time because
- 27:55Speaker 2: it was 1.1% or 1.5%. It wasn't that noticeable. Now
- 28:01Speaker 2: it became noticeable when it became double-digits. during COVID and
- 28:07Speaker 2: Biden and Trump and the situation that's going on now.
- 28:11Speaker 2: And it keeps just building on top of the double digits.
- 28:14Speaker 2: Now it's real noticeable. Then you throw property taxes on
- 28:18Speaker 2: top of it, which are going through the roof, and
- 28:20Speaker 2: all the prices that go up. So whose income can
- 28:24Speaker 2: keep pace with the prices? I don't give a damn
- 28:27Speaker 2: if you're retired or you're working. There isn't anyone listening
- 28:31Speaker 2: who isn't becoming poorer as time goes on.
- 28:35Speaker 14: Well, that's why the Democrats are polling better in the polls. Hey,
- 28:40Speaker 14: we're going to raise minimum wage and we're going to
- 28:45Speaker 14: prevent price increases.
- 28:47Speaker 2: Good luck with any of that.
- 28:48Speaker 14: I mean, that's ridiculous.
- 28:49Speaker 2: Right. But you're right. They're winning in some of these
- 28:54Speaker 2: polls because people are just fed up.
- 28:57Speaker 15: But.
- 28:58Speaker 2: That isn't going to be the answer.
- 29:00Speaker 14: They're better off with the cost of living.
- 29:01Speaker 19: Yeah.
- 29:02Speaker 2: The answer isn't throw out capitalism and go to socialism.
- 29:06Speaker 2: That just doesn't work, period. But you're right. That message
- 29:09Speaker 2: appeals to a lot of people. Let me ask you this. See,
- 29:12Speaker 2: I get sick and damn tired of all these people
- 29:14Speaker 2: who think they're owed something, that they're owed. For example,
- 29:19Speaker 2: I hear this all the time. Health care is a right.
- 29:22Speaker 2: It's a right, Ron. And I think to myself, no,
- 29:25Speaker 2: it's not. Healthcare is a responsibility. I say this all
- 29:30Speaker 2: the time. When I was a kid, Frank, my dad
- 29:32Speaker 2: provided healthcare to his family. When I became an adult,
- 29:36Speaker 2: it was up to me to get a job that
- 29:38Speaker 2: had health care or go out and buy it. I
- 29:41Speaker 2: was now an adult. It was now a responsibility. I
- 29:44Speaker 2: wasn't owed it that somebody should just give it to me.
- 29:48Speaker 2: And there's a lot of people that don't want to
- 29:49Speaker 2: get off their ass and go do those things that
- 29:53Speaker 2: you need to do to get health care coverage, like
- 29:56Speaker 2: get a job, go to work. or buy it on
- 30:00Speaker 2: your own.
- 30:03Speaker 14: After the war between the states, the Civil War, from
- 30:07Speaker 14: 1867 to 1893, the U.S. economy shattered all previous growth records.
- 30:17Speaker 14: We had hardly any government. And Ron, listen to this.
- 30:22Speaker 14: Health care was affordable.
- 30:24Speaker 2: That was then. I mean, you can't even compare it
- 30:27Speaker 2: then to today. I mean, we weren't putting bloodsuckers on
- 30:31Speaker 2: everybody today like we were back then. I don't know
- 30:34Speaker 2: how many CAT scans they could do. Look at the
- 30:36Speaker 2: quality of health care and the technology. It's not even comparable.
- 30:40Speaker 2: It's not even remotely comparable. Look how much longer we're living.
- 30:46Speaker 14: Well, I would say it's comparable because people were living
- 30:51Speaker 14: healthier lives.
- 30:52Speaker 16: They were.
- 30:53Speaker 14: Eating organic food.
- 30:54Speaker 2: They were dying sooner. We're living longer than we've ever lived.
- 30:59Speaker 2: But they were dying sooner than we were. I mean,
- 31:02Speaker 2: there's a lot of issues back then. And you've got
- 31:05Speaker 2: to admit, technology is much better today. You're not a
- 31:08Speaker 2: spring chicken. Look at you, how feisty you are. What
- 31:11Speaker 2: are you, 85?
- 31:11Speaker 14: No, not 85. But, Ron, look, I've got to disagree
- 31:19Speaker 14: with you on this. I've always called it the evil
- 31:25Speaker 14: medical industrial complex. They're not here to make you or
- 31:29Speaker 14: me healthier. They want us to stay sick so they
- 31:34Speaker 14: can just keep charging more and more. Ron, I've been saying.
- 31:38Speaker 2: Well, now wait a minute. Now wait a minute. How
- 31:42Speaker 2: do I put this?
- 31:44Speaker 14: The inflation rate for health care has always been much higher.
- 31:49Speaker 1: Than the inflation rate.
- 31:51Speaker 2: I'm not saying, let me back up with you. Let
- 31:54Speaker 2: me just give me a few minutes. Let's talk about
- 31:59Speaker 2: health care. Hospitals open 24 hours a day, seven days
- 32:03Speaker 2: a week. So whether they're busy or not, that emergency room,
- 32:07Speaker 2: doctors are there, nurses are there, anesthesiologists are there. You've
- 32:14Speaker 2: got maintenance people there around the clock. You have the
- 32:17Speaker 2: pharmacy open, the lab open around the clock. There's a
- 32:20Speaker 2: lot of expense at a hospital just being there 24
- 32:25Speaker 2: hours a day, seven days a week, and people that
- 32:27Speaker 2: you don't even see. All the record-keeping that has to
- 32:30Speaker 2: be done. My wife once explained to me when people
- 32:33Speaker 2: would say, well, why is an aspirin, you can go
- 32:35Speaker 2: to Walmart and buy aspirin for this, and why does
- 32:38Speaker 2: it cost so much in a hospital? Well, because in
- 32:40Speaker 2: a hospital, guess what? You want an aspirin, and you're
- 32:43Speaker 2: in the hospital, the doctor has to issue an order
- 32:46Speaker 2: for that. right? That order has to go to the pharmacy.
- 32:49Speaker 2: The pharmacy has to fill it and then bring it
- 32:54Speaker 2: to the nursing station so that they give it to you.
- 32:57Speaker 2: And it all has to be recorded because it has
- 33:00Speaker 2: to be written down. They don't want you to have
- 33:02Speaker 2: an aspirin before the operation or whatever. So there's a
- 33:05Speaker 2: lot more to it on anything that goes on in
- 33:09Speaker 2: a hospital that adds to the cost of it. There's
- 33:12Speaker 2: more hands involved in getting that aspirin to you And
- 33:17Speaker 2: the record-keeping, that's the result of it. Listen, I'm the
- 33:20Speaker 2: first guy to tell you I think the cost of
- 33:23Speaker 2: health care is ridiculous. I was just looking at a
- 33:26Speaker 2: bill the other day, and this is what they charged
- 33:28Speaker 2: and this is what they settled on. The charge was so–
- 33:32Speaker 2: it was like, okay, what's the point of $ 1, 400 charge
- 33:35Speaker 2: if you settle for $ 400? Why don't you just price.
- 33:38Speaker 5: It at $ 400?
- 33:38Speaker 2: I don't get the crazy-ass pricing that they give you
- 33:44Speaker 2: that makes no sense based on what they settle. So
- 33:48Speaker 2: I'm not... I agree with you, and at the same time,
- 33:52Speaker 2: I disagree with you.
- 33:55Speaker 14: Ron, you know the United States is the only developed
- 33:59Speaker 14: country in the world where people go bankrupt because of
- 34:03Speaker 14: health care. Canada is second, but only a small amount.
- 34:08Speaker 14: And Australia, which has socialized medicine, has only a fraction...
- 34:14Speaker 14: of the people filing bankruptcy.
- 34:18Speaker 2: Right, but what's their population size in both of those
- 34:22Speaker 2: countries compared to ours? Who's going to pay for all
- 34:25Speaker 2: of this stuff? Listen, as I say, do we have
- 34:32Speaker 2: cost problems in health care? Yes. Some people argue lawyers
- 34:39Speaker 2: are part of the problem. There's many issues in health care,
- 34:43Speaker 2: but do you.
- 34:45Speaker 14: You know I analyze stocks.
- 34:47Speaker 2: I know, but I mean, when you're talking about this
- 34:49Speaker 2: kind of stuff, and this Medicare for all is craziness.
- 34:53Speaker 2: The system will go broke. How are they going to
- 34:56Speaker 2: pay for it? Hell, Medicare right now, as you know,
- 34:58Speaker 2: is in tough financial straits, just as it stands today.
- 35:01Speaker 14: When Biden was president, I called your show, said I'm
- 35:06Speaker 14: analyzing health care stocks and pharmaceuticals, And hospitals are going
- 35:12Speaker 14: bankrupt for the reason you just gave. You just gave.
- 35:17Speaker 14: Bureaucratic red tape. You have to get reimbursed for your
- 35:22Speaker 14: health care from your insurance. You've got to fill out
- 35:25Speaker 14: this form. You've got to fill out that form. They
- 35:30Speaker 14: deny you. The insurance company denies you because you forgot
- 35:35Speaker 14: to fill out a form. The bureaucratic red tape. It's
- 35:39Speaker 14: a big cost in keeping people from getting the care
- 35:44Speaker 14: they need, even if they have good health care insurance,
- 35:48Speaker 14: just like auto insurance companies.
- 35:52Speaker 2: But when you say, listen, I go to my doctor,
- 35:54Speaker 2: I don't think he's trying to kill me if he says, hey,
- 35:56Speaker 2: we'd like you to lower your cholesterol. hey, we'd like
- 36:00Speaker 2: you to lower your A1C. I mean, everything that they're
- 36:03Speaker 2: trying to do for you is to keep you around
- 36:05Speaker 2: longer so you don't become a diabetic, so you don't
- 36:08Speaker 2: get heart disease. And let's be realistic. Most of those
- 36:12Speaker 2: drugs are pretty inexpensive today to do that. Now they're saying, Frank,
- 36:18Speaker 2: that some of these people that are on the fat shot,
- 36:21Speaker 2: as Trump calls it, those whatever those shots are that
- 36:25Speaker 2: people take for diabetes, that we might actually, people might
- 36:29Speaker 2: live longer and not need knee replacements and have all
- 36:32Speaker 2: the complications of diabetes and problems because they're too fat
- 36:36Speaker 2: and too overweight.
- 36:38Speaker 14: Well, the vast majority of doctors are not in practice
- 36:43Speaker 14: because they're trying to milk you for all you're worth.
- 36:47Speaker 14: But the vast majority of doctors, their hands are tied.
- 36:52Speaker 14: They have to do what the medical, the evil medical
- 36:56Speaker 14: industrial complex tells them to do, or they could lose
- 37:00Speaker 14: their license.
- 37:01Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 37:02Speaker 14: They have no choice.
- 37:03Speaker 2: When I go to my doctor, I don't see that.
- 37:06Speaker 2: All right, enough. Thank you, my friends.
- 37:07Speaker 14: By the way, real quick, my girlfriend worked for a
- 37:10Speaker 14: doctor for 30 years. She said the same thing, bureaucratic
- 37:16Speaker 14: red tape.
- 37:17Speaker 2: All right.
- 37:19Speaker 14: Her boss wanted it. do this surgery, but nope, can't
- 37:23Speaker 14: do it because not approved.
- 37:26Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that is true. I don't disagree with that.
- 37:30Speaker 2: That's the insurance companies. I totally agree with you. If
- 37:34Speaker 2: you want to talk about Medicare, that's the great thing
- 37:37Speaker 2: about Medicare. If you are on standard Medicare, forget Medicare Advantage.
- 37:42Speaker 2: You brought up a great point. If you're 65 and
- 37:45Speaker 2: you're on Medicare Advantage, you've got to go through, as
- 37:48Speaker 2: you would know, an HMO or a PPO and get pre-approval.
- 37:52Speaker 2: If you're on standard Medicare, you don't have to get
- 37:55Speaker 2: any approval at all. On standard Medicare, you don't have
- 38:01Speaker 2: to go through any of that nonsense whatsoever. On regular Medicare,
- 38:05Speaker 2: not Medicare Advantage. Regular Medicare is probably.
- 38:10Speaker 2: It's probably one of the best insurance programs around. But
- 38:12Speaker 2: you've got to pay into it before you can qualify
- 38:16Speaker 2: for it. It's a great program, regular Medicare. I personally
- 38:20Speaker 2: would never be on Medicare Advantage. I think it's a
- 38:24Speaker 2: huge mistake. All right, buddy, thank you. You're on the air.
- 38:28Speaker 20: Hey!
- 38:29Speaker 12: And I've been on the phone for 45 minutes.
- 38:33Speaker 2: Well, okay, it's Bubba Ganou. She's been on the phone
- 38:36Speaker 2: for 45 minutes. Sorry to keep you waiting, Your Highness.
- 38:40Speaker 7: Yes, and by the way, I hope that's not true
- 38:44Speaker 7: with the governor of Pennsylvania. I hope that's not true
- 38:49Speaker 7: because Sharon's looking to build a huge center there that's
- 38:54Speaker 7: going to create financial wealth for Sharon, and they're going
- 38:58Speaker 7: to be able to take care.
- 38:58Speaker 21: Of their roads.
- 39:00Speaker 2: You know? I'm not opposed to AI as long as
- 39:04Speaker 2: there's the following conditions. Absolutely zero tax abatements, period. Zero
- 39:10Speaker 2: tax abatements. Absolutely zero increase on your electric bill. They
- 39:17Speaker 2: cannot be on the grid. They cannot create demand to
- 39:20Speaker 2: increase your electric bill because part of the reason why
- 39:23Speaker 2: your electric bill is high now is because of demand
- 39:26Speaker 2: in addition to what Obama did. But so you have.
- 39:30Speaker 7: shut down 20 plants in Ohio to create electric. That's
- 39:34Speaker 7: what you're going to get.
- 39:35Speaker 2: Right. And we all know that solar plants and windmills
- 39:40Speaker 2: aren't as effective as coal as far as stability of it.
- 39:44Speaker 2: But I go back to say this. If you can.
- 39:51Speaker 2: Have a AI center and you can power it. Like what,
- 39:56Speaker 2: who is it? It's it's which one is going in
- 39:58Speaker 2: PA where they opened up a three mile Island again. Now,
- 40:03Speaker 2: what if Obama, Obama insisted these coal plants be torn
- 40:06Speaker 2: down like Samus plant, which should have never been torn
- 40:08Speaker 2: down in Ohio. What if they would have insisted that
- 40:11Speaker 2: the nuclear plant be torn down three mile Island? Well,
- 40:14Speaker 2: guess what? Now, all these years later, they're, they're getting
- 40:17Speaker 2: it up and running again and, Who is it? I
- 40:22Speaker 2: forget which one of these great big-name companies is doing it,
- 40:26Speaker 2: getting it up and running again to power their AI center,
- 40:30Speaker 2: and the additional power can go into the grid. Well,
- 40:33Speaker 2: damn good thing they didn't destroy the place, right? Unlike
- 40:36Speaker 2: Obama that insisted that the coal plants like Samus be
- 40:39Speaker 2: torn down and destroyed because of the green energy nonsense.
- 40:44Speaker 4: Right.
- 40:47Speaker 7: But here's the deal. Down in South Carolina, they're kicking
- 40:52Speaker 7: out these turbine generators to create electricity from gas, and
- 40:57Speaker 7: it also creates steam. So these electrical plants, they just
- 41:01Speaker 7: got to get these turbine plants hooked up, generate their electricity,
- 41:06Speaker 7: and add additional to the grid. It's as simple as that.
- 41:09Speaker 7: And then the water, that has to be purified. So,
- 41:13Speaker 7: you know, that was the other thing people were freaking about,
- 41:15Speaker 7: no water.
- 41:17Speaker 2: Well, I want all of these plants or these AI
- 41:20Speaker 2: centers to provide their own power. And I want all
- 41:23Speaker 2: of them to explain how the water is going to
- 41:29Speaker 2: be used and how it can be returned safely to
- 41:32Speaker 2: the system. So I think there are questions that need
- 41:36Speaker 2: to be answered. And I also want them to say,
- 41:41Speaker 2: when these data centers become obsolete because of how fast
- 41:44Speaker 2: technology moves, who is responsible for either tearing them down
- 41:49Speaker 2: or repurposing them? Because it sure as hell shouldn't be
- 41:52Speaker 2: the taxpayer when that LLC walks away from it.
- 41:56Speaker 7: Well, we can.
- 41:57Speaker 8: Convert it into a jail for illegals.
- 42:05Speaker 12: Hey, listen.
- 42:06Speaker 7: Listen, I found a great location for AI. Listen to me.
- 42:11Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm listening.
- 42:12Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 42:14Speaker 1: What?
- 42:14Speaker 7: You ever drive down Wilson Avenue where the steel mill
- 42:19Speaker 7: used to be?
- 42:19Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 42:20Speaker 7: And then they told you all that brownfield all the
- 42:23Speaker 7: way to Louisville?
- 42:25Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 42:26Speaker 12: Yeah. Build there.
- 42:30Speaker 2: All right.
- 42:30Speaker 7: Doesn't that make sense?
- 42:31Speaker 2: I'm not opposed to it given the criteria.
- 42:35Speaker 11: What?
- 42:35Speaker 12: The city.
- 42:37Speaker 7: No, I agree with all your criteria 100%. Because I
- 42:40Speaker 7: love the environment as well. And noise, too. The environmental noise, okay?
- 42:45Speaker 7: Down there, nobody's bothered. They had steel mills down there.
- 42:49Speaker 8: People ain't worried about noise.
- 42:50Speaker 2: I'm not opposed to it. I'm not opposed to it
- 42:53Speaker 2: as long as it meets those requirements. There is a
- 42:55Speaker 2: fourth requirement as well. Absolutely no Mediterranean food within 100 miles.
- 43:01Speaker 7: That's going to be the lunches down there.
- 43:02Speaker 4: Okay.
- 43:03Speaker 7: So anyhow, listen.
- 43:04Speaker 22: What?
- 43:05Speaker 7: You know how much money that Youngstown and Struthers and
- 43:09Speaker 7: Lowellville can make? I mean, we'll have a rich society
- 43:12Speaker 7: around here again.
- 43:13Speaker 2: I don't know that there's a lot of employees, but
- 43:16Speaker 2: there is a lot of maintenance that happens on these facilities.
- 43:19Speaker 2: But guess what? It will offset the homeowner's property taxes
- 43:24Speaker 2: based on they would pay a larger chunk of the
- 43:27Speaker 2: property tax because of the size of their facility, which
- 43:30Speaker 2: would lower your property taxes on your home. because they
- 43:35Speaker 2: would be picking up a lot of that share. I'm
- 43:37Speaker 2: not opposed to them, but I am opposed to them
- 43:40Speaker 2: if you're saying we're going to build them and we're
- 43:41Speaker 2: going to give them a tax abatement and we're going
- 43:44Speaker 2: to increase your electric costs or your water costs.
- 43:49Speaker 7: No, that's a Democrat or a rioter will say that.
- 43:52Speaker 2: Well, it's not a Democrat or thing to say. It's
- 43:56Speaker 2: actually happening in large parts of this country. where electric
- 44:01Speaker 2: rates have soared and water rates, too, because of AI.
- 44:04Speaker 2: Thank you, Bubba Ganoosh.
- 44:11Speaker 1: I'll be right back.
- 44:16Speaker 2: All right. On NewsRadio 570 WKBN, you're on air.
- 44:22Speaker 11: Ron, Billy Goat, how you doing, buddy?
- 44:24Speaker 2: It's a man with a Billy Goat beard that had
- 44:26Speaker 2: a hernia.
- 44:28Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
- 44:29Speaker 11: It's been about a month since I checked in with you,
- 44:31Speaker 11: so I figured, well, I tuned in. I figured, well,
- 44:33Speaker 11: I got to give the old boy a call, see
- 44:34Speaker 11: how he's doing.
- 44:35Speaker 2: Well, I'm still alive.
- 44:38Speaker 4: Ain't we all, brother?
- 44:39Speaker 11: Ain't we all living in this crazy world we live in,
- 44:41Speaker 11: but we're all still alive and still kicking, and that's
- 44:44Speaker 11: all that matters.
- 44:44Speaker 2: Right. I mean, you got to think every day's a blessing.
- 44:47Speaker 2: Take a look at Dolly Parton and the wonderful spirit
- 44:50Speaker 2: that she had and attitude that she had and what
- 44:53Speaker 2: a void that we have that she's no longer with us,
- 44:56Speaker 2: but it is a reminder that We were lucky she
- 44:58Speaker 2: was here when she was here and lived to be
- 45:00Speaker 2: 80 years old. But it doesn't matter how famous you are,
- 45:04Speaker 2: how much money you make, tomorrow isn't promised to enjoy
- 45:07Speaker 2: every day.
- 45:08Speaker 11: Nope, you got that right.
- 45:10Speaker 2: You got that right. See, that's why my goal here
- 45:14Speaker 2: is to get you looking good, get rid of that
- 45:16Speaker 2: stupid billy goat beard. And I got you groomed up
- 45:19Speaker 2: a little bit. I want you to meet a good woman.
- 45:21Speaker 2: And get into a loving relationship and maybe have some
- 45:27Speaker 2: children and live your life to the fullest extent.
- 45:30Speaker 11: I don't know if this world's ready for any more
- 45:32Speaker 11: of me, Ron. I don't know.
- 45:33Speaker 2: That's kind of a scary thought. You don't know. You
- 45:38Speaker 2: don't know. So that's my wish for you, man, formerly
- 45:44Speaker 2: the man with the billy goat beard with the hernia.
- 45:47Speaker 2: But I don't know how many women would want to
- 45:48Speaker 2: live in. How big is that shack you're living in?
- 45:51Speaker 11: 522 square feet.
- 45:55Speaker 2: Yeah, that seems awful small.
- 45:58Speaker 11: Well, you get used to it. I mean, I lived
- 46:00Speaker 11: in a studio apartment when I first moved up here,
- 46:03Speaker 11: and that was even smaller. But, you know, you make do. Hey,
- 46:08Speaker 11: I can't beat it. With rent prices these days, I
- 46:10Speaker 11: pay $ 450 a month for rent.
- 46:13Speaker 2: Are you still gainfully employed?
- 46:15Speaker 11: Oh, yeah.
- 46:16Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 46:16Speaker 11: I'm still employed.
- 46:17Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 46:18Speaker 1: I'm still employed.
- 46:19Speaker 11: I went back to work the 3rd of August and
- 46:22Speaker 11: recovering well and just taking it easy and not doing
- 46:25Speaker 11: nothing stupid.
- 46:27Speaker 2: So you've learned your lesson. You're not lifting anything too heavy.
- 46:31Speaker 2: You've been through this hernia surgery. And you'll realize the
- 46:36Speaker 2: best way to avoid a hernia... is to ask for help. Hey,
- 46:39Speaker 2: could you help me lift this? Could you help me
- 46:41Speaker 2: do this?
- 46:41Speaker 11: And don't try to be the stinking Hulk. That's all
- 46:44Speaker 11: there is to it.
- 46:45Speaker 2: I have the strength of ten men, but I still
- 46:48Speaker 2: ask for help.
- 46:49Speaker 1: Right, exactly.
- 46:50Speaker 11: All right, Ron, I'll catch you on the flip side, buddy.
- 46:52Speaker 11: You take care.
- 46:53Speaker 2: God bless. It's good to hear your voice. You're on
- 46:55Speaker 2: the air.
- 46:57Speaker 23: Ronald.
- 46:58Speaker 2: It's Theodore the Conservative, a.k.a. Ted the Conservative.
- 47:02Speaker 8: Well, tell Bubba Ganoush I was on hold an hour
- 47:04Speaker 8: or so.
- 47:06Speaker 2: Quit crying.
- 47:07Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 47:07Speaker 2: Stop bellyaching. You know, everybody has to wait their turn.
- 47:14Speaker 3: You get me, though.
- 47:15Speaker 8: You understand when I say this.
- 47:20Speaker 2: And Ted is so proud when I say this. When
- 47:23Speaker 2: I say, listen, I can be critical of Trump, but
- 47:27Speaker 2: that doesn't mean I would have voted for Harris or Biden.
- 47:31Speaker 2: And that certainly doesn't mean I'd vote for Sherrod Brown.
- 47:34Speaker 2: A bad Donald Trump is better than a Joe Biden
- 47:38Speaker 2: or a Kamala Harris.
- 47:40Speaker 8: Yes, sir.
- 47:42Speaker 2: And John Husted is way better than Sherrod Brown. The
- 47:45Speaker 2: Democrat Party has gone crazy. Absolutely crazy.
- 47:50Speaker 8: You've come so far. I feel like my life is,
- 47:53Speaker 8: my mission is complete with you.
- 47:54Speaker 2: Do you remember that show? The guy would have the
- 47:57Speaker 2: grasshopper in his hand. Kung Fu, you know. Remember that?
- 48:00Speaker 2: With the grasshopper.
- 48:02Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 48:04Speaker 2: Maybe that's the lesson. But see, in general, you've been
- 48:08Speaker 2: right about it most of the time. I cannot, when
- 48:12Speaker 2: I watch these crazies, Ted, that are winning.
- 48:15Speaker 4: When was the last time I.
- 48:15Speaker 8: Was, I think the last time I made a wrong,
- 48:18Speaker 8: I don't know. Hard to think of a state or
- 48:23Speaker 8: federal Democrat officeholder who did us any good. I don't
- 48:26Speaker 8: think I've ever been wrong on that, at least in
- 48:28Speaker 8: my lifetime. I don't know. But I'm sure I was wrong.
- 48:31Speaker 8: I'm sure there was one or two in there because
- 48:33Speaker 8: there's always the quote-unquote exception to the rule, right?
- 48:36Speaker 2: Right.
- 48:37Speaker 8: But your argument— There's some good people locally that become
- 48:41Speaker 8: the exception to the rule.
- 48:43Speaker 2: Right, but in general, you say, well, standby. Back with
- 48:46Speaker 2: Ted the Conservative. Always enjoy talking to him and more
- 48:48Speaker 2: of your calls. 330-729-9977. So your next five minutes could

- 49:21Speaker 13: The defense says her suicide attempt is evidence Clancy was
- 49:25Speaker 13: struggling with postpartum psychosis, which was made worse by 13
- 49:29Speaker 13: different prescribed medications. But prosecutors argue Clancy displayed rational, ordered
- 49:34Speaker 13: thinking when she killed her three children inside her home.
- 49:38Speaker 13: They say she was never on more than two or
- 49:40Speaker 13: three medications at once, and she stopped taking most of
- 49:43Speaker 13: them three weeks before the killing.

- 49:46Speaker 24: Outside the courthouse in Plymouth, the jury can consider lesser

- 52:19Speaker 2: August 28th, 79 degrees, 404 in the afternoon. We're underway
- 52:25Speaker 2: here on a glorious day. It's always a better day
- 52:27Speaker 2: when you've got Ted the Conservative on the line, folks.
- 52:29Speaker 2: It always makes for a better day.
- 52:31Speaker 8: You know, I figured I'd call you today because things
- 52:33Speaker 8: are getting a little bit hectic for me as I'm
- 52:35Speaker 8: getting ready to leave for my trips. And I didn't
- 52:37Speaker 8: want to not talk to you before I left. I
- 52:40Speaker 8: don't know that I'd be able to call in next week.
- 52:42Speaker 2: I don't understand all of these trips. What are all
- 52:46Speaker 2: these trips to New Jersey all the time?
- 52:49Speaker 8: No, I'm going to Greece.
- 52:51Speaker 2: Oh, the motherland for you, isn't it?
- 52:52Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm going to the motherland.
- 52:55Speaker 2: Why are you going... We'll be.
- 52:56Speaker 8: Back until October 1st, so I figured I better call
- 52:59Speaker 8: and talk to you one more time before I leave.
- 53:01Speaker 2: Why are you going to Greece?
- 53:03Speaker 8: To the motherland. See where my roots are planted in
- 53:08Speaker 8: the soil.
- 53:08Speaker 2: Have you ever been there before?
- 53:10Speaker 8: To walk the land of my ancestors.
- 53:12Speaker 2: Have you ever been there before?
- 53:14Speaker 8: Never been.
- 53:15Speaker 21: Really?
- 53:16Speaker 2: So are you seriously going back to... To where you
- 53:19Speaker 2: think your ancestry is, where they grew up?
- 53:22Speaker 8: Yeah, I know I'm going back to that area. I
- 53:28Speaker 8: have had my DNA, 23andMe, track a lot of my ancestry.
- 53:33Speaker 8: And I know the stories from my father and my
- 53:36Speaker 8: grandparents from the island that they came from. And that's
- 53:39Speaker 8: where I'm going. It's going to take a little while
- 53:41Speaker 8: to get there. I'm flying out of Toronto. I wanted
- 53:44Speaker 8: a little bit of a.
- 53:47Speaker 8: A better seat on the plane, if you call it that.
- 53:49Speaker 8: You know, the best seat on the plane.
- 53:51Speaker 2: Right.
- 53:51Speaker 8: It was a little bit cheaper to do it out
- 53:52Speaker 8: of Toronto.
- 53:54Speaker 2: It's a long flight.
- 53:55Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a long flight. We're going to leave there
- 53:58Speaker 8: from Toronto to London to Athens. Then I've got to
- 54:02Speaker 8: get on another plane to get to another island. Then
- 54:05Speaker 8: I've got to take a boat to my final destination
- 54:08Speaker 8: because they don't have an airport.
- 54:10Speaker 2: Do you have relatives that are still over there that
- 54:13Speaker 2: you're aware of?
- 54:15Speaker 4: Yes.
- 54:17Speaker 2: Have you contacted any of them to say, I would
- 54:20Speaker 2: like to?
- 54:20Speaker 8: Yep, yep, yeah, yeah. Doing all that.
- 54:23Speaker 2: Are you going to go see them for the first time?
- 54:27Speaker 21: Yep, yep.
- 54:28Speaker 2: I mean, that's got to be a weird experience. So
- 54:31Speaker 2: you actually, well, first of all, when you said.
- 54:35Speaker 8: I've got some anxiety over all of it. Getting to
- 54:38Speaker 8: where I need to be. It's going to take me
- 54:39Speaker 8: three days to get to my final destination.
- 54:42Speaker 2: It's going to be interesting because I say this all
- 54:45Speaker 2: the time. Can you imagine your– I don't know if
- 54:49Speaker 2: it's your father or who in your family. Somebody was
- 54:52Speaker 2: at the place that you will be visiting, okay, that
- 54:55Speaker 2: was at the place that you were visiting and said–
- 54:59Speaker 2: I'm going to leave.
- 54:59Speaker 11: My grandfather.
- 55:00Speaker 2: Yeah, your grandfather said, I'm going to leave all the
- 55:03Speaker 2: people I know, the relatives I have, the life that
- 55:07Speaker 2: I've known. I mean, I'm going to leave my mother
- 55:09Speaker 2: and father, the relatives, the life I've known, what's familiar
- 55:14Speaker 2: to me, and I'm going to get on a boat
- 55:17Speaker 2: and go over to Ellis Island and go to the
- 55:20Speaker 2: United States of America, a place I've never been before,
- 55:24Speaker 2: and see what awaits me. Can you imagine... What a
- 55:30Speaker 2: decision that is and how frightening that decision had to
- 55:33Speaker 2: be to give up the familiar for the unfamiliar and
- 55:36Speaker 2: a dream. And just about anybody who came here was
- 55:39Speaker 2: exploited when they got here back in the day. Can
- 55:42Speaker 2: you imagine that, though, doing that?
- 55:44Speaker 8: And my grandfather wasn't certain it worked out, so he
- 55:47Speaker 8: left my grandmother behind. And he first came here in
- 55:52Speaker 8: the early 1920s by himself. And when he saw that
- 55:58Speaker 8: he could make a home and work, get a job
- 56:01Speaker 8: in a steel mill, she went back and got her
- 56:03Speaker 8: and brought her over. Matter of fact, when my parents,
- 56:06Speaker 8: my last, my dad died first and my mom died.
- 56:09Speaker 8: And it was about two years ago when mom died.
- 56:11Speaker 8: We were cleaning out the attic. And we found up
- 56:15Speaker 8: in the attic, I know it was up there, but
- 56:18Speaker 8: I never realized where it was. The, you know, back
- 56:21Speaker 8: then they didn't travel with luggage. They had these big
- 56:24Speaker 8: chests that they put their belongings in. and load them
- 56:27Speaker 8: up on the boat and come over. And we found
- 56:29Speaker 8: the chest that my grandfather packed up all his belongings
- 56:32Speaker 8: and came to America with.
- 56:33Speaker 2: And I certainly hope that you have it and treasure it.
- 56:37Speaker 8: Yes, yes. I've got a lot of stuff. I'm like
- 56:40Speaker 8: a packer.
- 56:40Speaker 2: Yeah, but that is something that should be passed down.
- 56:44Speaker 2: That is the chest that changed your life.
- 56:49Speaker 8: Yeah, that thing was probably made or created in the
- 56:52Speaker 8: early 1900s. I'm guessing if you brought it over here
- 56:55Speaker 8: in 1920, that thing's got some years on it.
- 56:59Speaker 2: I tell it often. When my father came home from
- 57:03Speaker 2: World War II, folks, and my mother didn't disregard his uniform,
- 57:12Speaker 2: your dress uniform, when he came back in it. And
- 57:17Speaker 2: she was so happy that he had returned because so
- 57:21Speaker 2: many had not. She had always kept that coat and
- 57:26Speaker 2: that uniform. And she had it all her life until
- 57:31Speaker 2: she passed. And then my older brother had it. And
- 57:34Speaker 2: then my middle brother had it. And then they passed.
- 57:39Speaker 2: It became in my possession, and a dear, dear friend
- 57:43Speaker 2: of mine built this beautiful showcase to put it in.
- 57:47Speaker 2: I saw he had one for the one his dad's
- 57:49Speaker 2: was in, and it's just spectacular. And there it sits.
- 57:52Speaker 2: And when my day comes, I certainly hope that my
- 57:57Speaker 2: son or daughter will take it next, because You know,
- 58:00Speaker 2: that's just meant so much to my mother and means
- 58:04Speaker 2: so much to me because she was just so glad
- 58:06Speaker 2: to see him. And like I say, the thing about
- 58:08Speaker 2: growing up is because my, let's see, I guess my
- 58:14Speaker 2: father was born here, but his older brother was not
- 58:19Speaker 2: born here. So his mom and dad who came here,
- 58:26Speaker 2: growing up to listen to my father speak two languages fluently.
- 58:30Speaker 2: Isn't that amazing? Yeah, my father would fluently speak their
- 58:34Speaker 2: native tongue, and he would fluently speak English. And his
- 58:41Speaker 2: brothers were the same way. They all spoke two languages.
- 58:45Speaker 2: And I mean fluently, because that's what their parents spoke.
- 58:48Speaker 2: But when they went to school, there was none of
- 58:50Speaker 2: this nonsense. When you went to school, you were expected
- 58:53Speaker 2: to learn English, and that's what they did. There wasn't this...
- 58:57Speaker 2: the nonsense that you go through today, you're coming to school,
- 58:59Speaker 2: you're going to learn English, you're going to get educated
- 59:02Speaker 2: and you're going to be thankful you're in this country
- 59:06Speaker 2: and you're going to do something with your life. And yeah,
- 59:10Speaker 2: and that's what yeah.
- 59:10Speaker 8: Think about like you think about people like my grandfather
- 59:13Speaker 8: they didn't speak the language but they just took a
- 59:15Speaker 8: chance and they got on a boat and came over
- 59:18Speaker 8: and growing up i can remember you know two languages
- 59:21Speaker 8: were always spoken english and my father's my grandfather's native
- 59:26Speaker 8: tongue was always spoken you.
- 59:27Speaker 2: Know But when you talk about that, I would do
- 59:32Speaker 2: remote sets, Archangel Michael in Camel.
- 59:36Speaker 10: Yes.
- 59:36Speaker 2: Okay.
- 59:37Speaker 8: That's where I grew up.
- 59:39Speaker 2: And I said to the father there, I said, you know,
- 59:46Speaker 2: that church just, it seems to me, I don't know
- 59:49Speaker 2: how to say this. It just had a lot of
- 59:51Speaker 2: good looking people. You follow me? I mean, male and female.
- 59:54Speaker 2: They were all, the guys were handsome. The women were beautiful.
- 59:58Speaker 2: And I said to the father, I said, how is that?
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: He says it's the area that they came from in Greece.
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: You know, that they're just... Most of the.
- 1:00:11Speaker 8: People at that church in Camel are from the area
- 1:00:15Speaker 8: I'm going to. They all migrated to Camel, Ohio to
- 1:00:19Speaker 8: work in the steel mills as painters, bridge painters. And
- 1:00:24Speaker 8: they all come from the same island in Greece that
- 1:00:26Speaker 8: I'm heading to. And So in the summertime, many, many
- 1:00:30Speaker 8: people go back to visit family and come back home.
- 1:00:33Speaker 8: But everyone at that church is basically a camel from
- 1:00:35Speaker 8: the same place. Their ancestors go back to the same place.
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: So you're saying to me you're kind of nervous, in
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: a way, about your long journey.
- 1:00:46Speaker 8: I'm nervous about the whole trip, going through three different countries.
- 1:00:51Speaker 8: And once I get to Greece, I've still got a
- 1:00:54Speaker 8: ways to go to get where I'm going. As far
- 1:00:56Speaker 8: as one airport to another airport to get on a
- 1:00:59Speaker 8: ferry to hop me over to my final place.
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: How did you contact people that you're related to who
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: you've never spoken to before?
- 1:01:08Speaker 8: Well, my sister had connections. My sister had ways to
- 1:01:13Speaker 8: get in touch with them. Some of them I met
- 1:01:15Speaker 8: through 23andMe. You can get email addresses and correspond via email, basically.
- 1:01:22Speaker 8: That was the mean of communication.
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: And were they familiar with... Who your grandfather was and
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff?
- 1:01:28Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:01:29Speaker 8: And I've got a good friend. I have a couple
- 1:01:31Speaker 8: friends that live there now. I have a buddy that
- 1:01:34Speaker 8: was a year older than me out of high school,
- 1:01:36Speaker 8: and he recently sold everything and moved there. He lives
- 1:01:38Speaker 8: there permanently. So I won't be a stranger, you know
- 1:01:41Speaker 8: what I mean? I'm going to have a lot of
- 1:01:43Speaker 8: resources and people around me that I know.
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: I mean, that's going to be really kind of a
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: cool experience, don't you think?
- 1:01:49Speaker 21: Yeah, it's going to be cool.
- 1:01:51Speaker 8: Looking forward to it.
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: I mean, economically, isn't that isn't Greece in like a
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: terrible shape?
- 1:01:58Speaker 4: Not too bad.
- 1:01:59Speaker 8: I don't think I think it's been a lot worse
- 1:02:01Speaker 8: than it is now. But I wouldn't say it's a
- 1:02:04Speaker 8: strong economy over there. It's not, you know, it's not
- 1:02:06Speaker 8: things aren't going great, but it's better than it has been.
- 1:02:10Speaker 8: There's there were some times where things were really weak.
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: And when you talk about the euro, I.
- 1:02:14Speaker 8: Told you how weak the dollar is compared to the euro.
- 1:02:17Speaker 22: One U.S.
- 1:02:18Speaker 8: Dollar will get you 84 cents in the euro.
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: I'll tell you this, though, when you're talking, like when
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: I do those remotes and there's still a lot of
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: people who go to that church that are bridge painters,
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: that's a damn– I mean, talk about sacrifice. Here's guys
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: that leave their families on a Sunday or whatever, and
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: they're gone all week or all month. They're gone for months.
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: They're all over the country. They're all over the country
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: painting these bridges and underpasses and that kind of stuff.
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: It is dangerous work, and it's a long time to
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: be away.
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: From your family.
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: One of my good buddies I went to.
- 1:02:56Speaker 8: College with, his family owns a big industrial company. And
- 1:03:03Speaker 8: he comes home probably at the end of the season,
- 1:03:06Speaker 8: maybe early. Maybe for the holidays, by Thanksgiving, he gets home.
- 1:03:11Speaker 8: And he might make it through the holidays. But by February,
- 1:03:15Speaker 8: he's back out on the road. And he might come
- 1:03:18Speaker 8: home a couple weekends out.
- 1:03:19Speaker 10: Of the year.
- 1:03:22Speaker 8: And maybe, you know, sometimes the family will travel to
- 1:03:25Speaker 8: where he is to see him. You know, he's got, what, two, four,
- 1:03:30Speaker 8: five kids.
- 1:03:31Speaker 10: So.
- 1:03:32Speaker 8: But the family, you know, will sometimes travel and maybe
- 1:03:35Speaker 8: make vacations around wherever he's at to do that kind
- 1:03:37Speaker 8: of stuff. So it's a hard life, and it's harder
- 1:03:40Speaker 8: to find workers anymore. And believe it or not, a
- 1:03:44Speaker 8: lot of Mexicans are bridge painters. And with all this
- 1:03:48Speaker 8: ICE stuff going on, it's affected the industry. I'll just
- 1:03:51Speaker 8: leave it at that.
- 1:03:52Speaker 14: How's that?
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: It is really something that, I mean, it's difficult, so
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: it's hard for them.
- 1:03:57Speaker 8: Nobody wants to do that work.
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: Well, yeah, in other words, a lot of the family
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: members don't go into it anymore.
- 1:04:02Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: Right?
- 1:04:03Speaker 8: Yeah, they don't want the kids going into it. So
- 1:04:06Speaker 8: they become doctors and lawyers or other things.
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:04:09Speaker 8: It's a tough, tough way to make a living. They
- 1:04:12Speaker 8: make a good living, but it's a hard life.
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: Boy, it has been the wussification of America, hasn't it? Like,
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: they would often say that. Then the same thing applies
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: to a lot of truck drivers that would be, you know,
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: truck drivers that would leave and they'd be gone all week.
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: And pilots, too. Quite frankly, pilots... There's still a lot
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: of those professions. I don't know if you remember Mike.
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: He's a sales guy that covers the country. I mean,
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: here's a guy locally that calls the program that I
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: just think the world of. I mean, he's just really
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: an interesting guy. But he'll leave on a Monday and
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: he'll be all over the country and he comes home
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: to his family on the weekend. I mean, what a
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: sacrifice that man is making for the country. for the
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: lifestyle that his wife and family enjoys because he's not
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: there to take it all in.
- 1:04:56Speaker 8: There's a lot of people that do that. I think
- 1:04:59Speaker 8: a lot of people live in a bubble. They don't
- 1:05:00Speaker 8: realize the big world we live in. There's a lot
- 1:05:03Speaker 8: of Mikes in the world, you know. I got another buddy.
- 1:05:05Speaker 8: He's like a project manager for one of those bridging companies.
- 1:05:09Speaker 8: And he does the same thing. He comes home. He's
- 1:05:11Speaker 8: able to come home a lot more than my buddy
- 1:05:14Speaker 8: I was referencing because he runs the company. But this kid,
- 1:05:18Speaker 8: he travels. He does a lot of work in Canada.
- 1:05:20Speaker 8: For some reason, I don't know where the company is located,
- 1:05:24Speaker 8: but he's in Canada a lot and on the West Coast,
- 1:05:26Speaker 8: like Seattle area. And he literally will just give an apartment.
- 1:05:30Speaker 8: He has an apartment in Seattle and an apartment somewhere
- 1:05:34Speaker 8: in Canada. But he comes home a lot more. He's
- 1:05:37Speaker 8: home maybe once or twice a month he might get home.
- 1:05:42Speaker 8: That's a lot. So you might get two weekends out
- 1:05:44Speaker 8: of a month.
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: That's got to be tough, though. It's got to be
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: tough to miss your kids and your wife. It's got
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: to be tough on everybody involved, but it's a sacrifice.
- 1:05:54Speaker 8: Can you imagine the people whining about flop cameras doing that?
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: No.
- 1:05:58Speaker 8: Or doing what Mike's doing, getting on the road like
- 1:06:00Speaker 8: Mike does Monday morning, heads up. He may even leave
- 1:06:03Speaker 8: on Sunday night. There was a time my wife traveled
- 1:06:06Speaker 8: for work. The care industry that she was in, she'd
- 1:06:09Speaker 8: leave on a Sunday and She'd come home on a Friday,
- 1:06:13Speaker 8: and I was dropping her back off at the airport
- 1:06:16Speaker 8: on Sunday night.
- 1:06:18Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 1:06:18Speaker 8: So there's a lot of people that do that. People
- 1:06:21Speaker 8: have never been around that stuff, so they don't realize
- 1:06:25Speaker 8: it goes on. That leads to something else I was
- 1:06:27Speaker 8: going to tell you. You guys were talking about the
- 1:06:29Speaker 8: medical field, and you were having that conversation with Frank.
- 1:06:32Speaker 8: I agree with everything you said. See, people like you
- 1:06:35Speaker 8: and I who have wives that are nurses, we see
- 1:06:39Speaker 8: both sides of the coin. And like my wife, I'll just,
- 1:06:43Speaker 8: without disclosing too much about her, she's in the pharmaceutical arena.
- 1:06:48Speaker 8: I'll just put it at that. And let's say, you know,
- 1:06:52Speaker 8: people talk about the cost of health care. Let's say
- 1:06:54Speaker 8: you need a certain drug. Like I just started taking
- 1:06:56Speaker 8: some heart medication. I got some issues. So let's say
- 1:06:59Speaker 8: my heart meds cost $ 400 a month. And let's say,
- 1:07:04Speaker 8: I don't know what company, let's say, I don't know,
- 1:07:07Speaker 8: Bristol-Myers makes this pill. These pharmaceutical companies, they offer a
- 1:07:13Speaker 8: lot of programs to help make drugs affordable for people,
- 1:07:15Speaker 8: but people aren't aware of them. There's manufacturer coupons. So
- 1:07:20Speaker 8: if any of your listeners have high medical bills due
- 1:07:22Speaker 8: to pharmacy, I would tell them to find out who
- 1:07:26Speaker 8: makes the medication they're on, get on their Google machine,
- 1:07:30Speaker 8: and just Google start out with manufacturer coupons for that drug.
- 1:07:34Speaker 8: And you'll be surprised how many discounts are out there
- 1:07:37Speaker 8: and that these pharmaceutical companies will make sure they'll cover
- 1:07:40Speaker 8: the cost if they have to to make sure you
- 1:07:42Speaker 8: need the medication. But there's a whole different world out
- 1:07:45Speaker 8: there most people aren't aware of, that stuff, you know?
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: Well, listen, I'll be the first guy to say health
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: care is way too expensive. The costs are going up
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: way too high, and it's something that needs to be addressed.
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: Life in general at this point in time, the rate
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: of inflation and everything, is beyond anything I could ever
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: have imagined in my life. And And I think it's
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: getting worse, not better. And it has to be.
- 1:08:12Speaker 8: I agree with you.
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: It has to be addressed.
- 1:08:15Speaker 8: Let me say this, though. And I'm a perfect example
- 1:08:19Speaker 8: to say this because I just researched three countries, health
- 1:08:21Speaker 8: care in three countries. where I'll be traveling.
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: I don't want health care. I'll have health care in
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: the United States of America over any of those other countries.
- 1:08:30Speaker 8: We have the best health care in the world.
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely.
- 1:08:33Speaker 8: I would agree with that. If you think Canada's great,
- 1:08:37Speaker 8: you don't have friends there that have had serious issues
- 1:08:40Speaker 8: that needed help or couldn't get it.
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: And many of them come here.
- 1:08:43Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:08:44Speaker 8: I mean, there's a cost. There's a cost factor. The
- 1:08:47Speaker 8: research and development to get these medicines and these the
- 1:08:50Speaker 8: research that goes into the drugs and the health care
- 1:08:53Speaker 8: that's provided. And like you said, the cost to run
- 1:08:56Speaker 8: a hospital. Yeah, hospitals aren't making money, of course. like
- 1:09:00Speaker 8: Frank said, of course there's a struggle. They've got to
- 1:09:03Speaker 8: be open 24-7 because if someone walks in that ER door,
- 1:09:06Speaker 8: if they're having a heart attack, they've got to be
- 1:09:08Speaker 8: prepared to help them with their equipment. It's just unbelievable
- 1:09:11Speaker 8: the cost to run those facilities. And most people just
- 1:09:14Speaker 8: don't understand it because they've never seen that part of
- 1:09:17Speaker 8: the world. They don't speak that language, I guess. They
- 1:09:20Speaker 8: don't have medical people in the family, you know. These doctors,
- 1:09:23Speaker 8: they complain about doctors that make too much money. I've
- 1:09:26Speaker 8: got good friends that are doctors. I can tell you,
- 1:09:29Speaker 8: I've got one buddy. He's a female doctor.
- 1:09:31Speaker 21: What do you call him?
- 1:09:32Speaker 8: OBGYN. That guy, Tony, since he started medical school, he
- 1:09:37Speaker 8: has never home. And I'm talking 25 years of this,
- 1:09:41Speaker 8: 30 years. I can remember we used to live across
- 1:09:43Speaker 8: the street from each other. We both first got married.
- 1:09:47Speaker 8: And you'd see his car maybe once or twice a week.
- 1:09:50Speaker 4: A week.
- 1:09:51Speaker 8: And we run into him just not long ago. We
- 1:09:53Speaker 8: were having a conversation with him and his wife. He
- 1:09:56Speaker 8: looks so, he looks so exhausted. Seven days a week.
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: Hey, I got to pause.
- 1:10:01Speaker 8: I will talk later, but if I don't hear from.
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: You, you're one stop from talk station. Five 70 WKBN.
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: But you thought I went on vacation. All right, News
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: Radio 570, WKBN 424, you're on the air.
- 1:10:24Speaker 21: You know, if you think about it, you look at
- 1:10:27Speaker 21: how our ancestors got here and what they went through
- 1:10:30Speaker 21: to get here and the travels that they made and
- 1:10:33Speaker 21: establishing their life over here with probably 10 cents in
- 1:10:36Speaker 21: their pocket, not much more. And we're complaining the gas
- 1:10:39Speaker 21: went up, you know, a buck a gallon.
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: Well, no, I'm sorry. You're not going to.
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: You're not going to sway me on that at all.
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: I got to give you credit. You work on it hard.
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: But inflation is a very real problem. And although the debt,
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: let's see, I filled up the other day and it
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: was like with a shelf perk that they give you
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: and everything. I think I filled up for like 375
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: or something. It's still expensive. I mean, I am not
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: going to just lay back and say, oh, all of
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: this inflation is no big deal and accept it. Absolutely not.
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: It is insane. And it's still insane.
- 1:11:27Speaker 21: I mean, but if you look at the grand scheme
- 1:11:30Speaker 21: of things, of all the things you pay for, what
- 1:11:34Speaker 21: I would much rather see addressed more so than the
- 1:11:38Speaker 21: Iran war and the inflation it's caused, is our property
- 1:11:41Speaker 21: taxes and the fact that the government is spending us
- 1:11:43Speaker 21: into bankruptcy. And the fact that my kids and grandkids
- 1:11:47Speaker 21: are going to struggle to have the same lifestyle I
- 1:11:50Speaker 21: have despite having the same opportunities. You know, going to college,
- 1:11:54Speaker 21: getting good degrees, and they're probably going to be lucky
- 1:11:57Speaker 21: to live the lifestyle my wife and I have lived
- 1:11:59Speaker 21: because the government and the country's finances are in such
- 1:12:03Speaker 21: bad shape. I'm way more worried about that than the
- 1:12:07Speaker 21: fact that I'm paying 75 cents a gallon more.
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're in a different league than the average
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: person listening. I mean, it's much easier for you to
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: do that than Joe Bag of Donuts.
- 1:12:19Speaker 21: I'm down to one income now. My wife's retired. I've
- 1:12:22Speaker 21: got to live on one income.
- 1:12:23Speaker 16: Now, Ron.
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: So you're on a fixed income?
- 1:12:26Speaker 21: Well, the funny thing is, my mom used to always say... She,
- 1:12:31Speaker 21: you know, people would complain about their money, and they
- 1:12:33Speaker 21: would say they're on a fixed income. She said, everybody's
- 1:12:35Speaker 21: on a fixed income. How many people, most people go
- 1:12:38Speaker 21: to work, and they get a same paycheck every week,
- 1:12:41Speaker 21: if you think about it. So we're all on a
- 1:12:42Speaker 21: fixed income. And maybe once a year you get a raise,
- 1:12:46Speaker 21: and the fixed income goes up a little bit. But
- 1:12:48Speaker 21: most of us have to live on our lives. And
- 1:12:50Speaker 21: once you're independently wealthy... or a business owner where your
- 1:12:54Speaker 21: income varies, the average goes six-pack, all of us are
- 1:12:57Speaker 21: on a fixed income.
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: But the bottom line is, I go back to say this,
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: and I would put this out to you again. I
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: don't believe anybody could have ever anticipated, whether they were
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: close to retirement, in retirement, or whatever other scenario you
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: want to go into, the type of inflation that we've
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: experienced in this country since COVID. I don't think anyone
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: could ever have anticipated the what we are witnessing inflation-wise
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: and the effect it has on everybody out there, on
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: everything out there.
- 1:13:28Speaker 25: COVID accelerated it, but I think it actually started probably
- 1:13:33Speaker 25: towards the end of Obama. Because that's when I was,
- 1:13:36Speaker 25: the funny thing, looking at their property taxes the other day,
- 1:13:39Speaker 25: because I saw it on the news that they were.
- 1:13:42Speaker 21: Available, because since the bills didn't come out. that you
- 1:13:47Speaker 21: could go online and look at it. So I looked
- 1:13:49Speaker 21: at mine, and if you ever go to Mahoning County
- 1:13:52Speaker 21: Auditor.org or whatever it is, and look at all the
- 1:13:57Speaker 21: different information that's out there on your property tax statement,
- 1:14:01Speaker 21: it breaks it down into all kinds of interesting things.
- 1:14:03Speaker 21: But it shows the growth of the valuation, or I
- 1:14:07Speaker 21: think it's 20 years. So I looked at mine, and
- 1:14:11Speaker 21: it was pretty much steady from about 2004 until around 2016.
- 1:14:16Speaker 21: My property value really didn't go up much. It was,
- 1:14:18Speaker 21: you know, we built it. We built the house in 2004.
- 1:14:21Speaker 21: It was evaluated or assessed. You know, they established the value,
- 1:14:25Speaker 21: and that value stayed the same until about 2016. Then
- 1:14:29Speaker 21: in 2020 was the first big spike. If you remember, right,
- 1:14:31Speaker 21: that was the first time people were really starting to
- 1:14:33Speaker 21: complain because the values went up. Then 2024, now 2026,
- 1:14:36Speaker 21: you know, it's increased substantially since 2016. But for the,
- 1:14:43Speaker 21: you know, 10, 15 years before that, it was pretty
- 1:14:45Speaker 21: much the same. So I think the inflation started, I
- 1:14:48Speaker 21: think COVID was just, poured gasoline on that fire and
- 1:14:52Speaker 21: just accelerated it. But it had started well before that.
- 1:14:56Speaker 21: And I'm sorry, I think if you look at the
- 1:14:58Speaker 21: root cause of this, I think it's government spending. You know,
- 1:15:01Speaker 21: when you take a look at the deficit, we're on
- 1:15:04Speaker 21: a $ 40 trillion now. What are we paying, a trillion
- 1:15:07Speaker 21: dollars a year, I think, just on interest, on the debt?
- 1:15:10Speaker 21: It's insane. It's insane. And nobody wants to, even if
- 1:15:16Speaker 21: you wanted to fix it, you're not going to fix
- 1:15:18Speaker 21: it because the American public won't stand for it. Just
- 1:15:22Speaker 21: like they won't, you know, the average American public is
- 1:15:25Speaker 21: just like you. They're moaning and groaning about the inflation
- 1:15:27Speaker 21: from the war. That's fine. I get it. But the
- 1:15:32Speaker 21: minute you start to try and address the deficit, if
- 1:15:34Speaker 21: you get somebody in Congress that, well, look at Elon Musk.
- 1:15:36Speaker 21: You want to go in there and you want to
- 1:15:37Speaker 21: start cutting. They came after him, guns blazing, burning down
- 1:15:42Speaker 21: his cars, burning his dealerships, basically running him out of
- 1:15:47Speaker 21: town on a rail. And anybody that goes to D.C.
- 1:15:50Speaker 21: that thinks they're going to fix the problem, I've got
- 1:15:52Speaker 21: news for you. The American people aren't going to stand it.
- 1:15:55Speaker 21: I think Alec the other day said, we're the frog
- 1:15:57Speaker 21: in hot water.
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: Well, stand by, stand by. Back with Rich, your pharmacist,

- 1:17:11Speaker 1: On NewsRadio 570, WKBN.
- 1:17:12Speaker 20: All right.
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: I'm going to disagree with you on something. I really
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: think inflation really came about as a result of COVID.
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: Starting with Trump, going through Biden and continuing from that
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: point because it wasn't noticeable really very much until that
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: point in time. And it was government policy that created
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: it because you started handing out money, which created a
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: demand for goods and services at a time when we
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: weren't producing any goods. So it was supply and demand.
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: Goods weren't being produced. People had money. We're buying them,
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: and prices went up because of shortages. That's where it started,
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: I think, as far as the– noticeable inflation, and then
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: as we continue to print more money and hand more out,
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: the more dollars you make, the less value all the
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: existing ones have. It just escalated from that point in time.
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: And then, of course, you've got the situation with oil,
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: and that just adds to where an oil-based economy, it
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: just keeps going up as a result of it. But
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: you can't have– I would never dream in my life
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: you would see– the property tax re-evaluations so ridiculous as
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: we're seeing, or people literally are priced out of their
- 1:18:30Speaker 2: home based on the taxes, that you would see the
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: increases that you see in groceries and insurance and energy.
- 1:18:37Speaker 2: I mean, just the cost of electricity and gasoline and
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: natural gas. This stuff is, can you imagine if you
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: retired just prior to COVID, and then I don't think
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: you ever could have anticipated, nor your financial planner, that
- 1:18:53Speaker 2: type of inflation and that type of life-changing events?
- 1:18:56Speaker 21: The financial planners will run it everywhere. I can tell
- 1:18:59Speaker 21: you that right now.
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: It depends.
- 1:19:00Speaker 21: We met with Joe and Megan from Rockport last week, and,
- 1:19:04Speaker 21: I mean, they run it every which way. you're telling
- 1:19:07Speaker 21: what you want to anticipate. I think they call it
- 1:19:10Speaker 21: a Monte Carlo scenario. They put it through like a
- 1:19:13Speaker 21: thousand different possibilities and will analyze how safe you are
- 1:19:17Speaker 21: when you retire and whether you should or should not.
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: But you know how many people retire and then they
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: get hit with this and you start to see retirees
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: getting part-time jobs because they had to to help offset
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: some of the cost. I mean, it's just a damn shame.
- 1:19:32Speaker 21: The biggest problem, I think, The problem that's bigger than inflation,
- 1:19:38Speaker 21: in my opinion, is the fact that the vast majority
- 1:19:41Speaker 21: of Americans don't know how to control their spending. They
- 1:19:45Speaker 21: want something, and it's not, and I get it. You
- 1:19:48Speaker 21: have to buy gas, and gas is expensive, and food
- 1:19:50Speaker 21: and stuff like that. But you look at wants versus needs,
- 1:19:54Speaker 21: and there's a lot of Americans that just will refuse
- 1:19:58Speaker 21: to deny themselves the wants. Instead of putting 15% or 20%
- 1:20:03Speaker 21: of their gross income away every year so they'll have
- 1:20:08Speaker 21: something to retire on, they want the new car, they
- 1:20:11Speaker 21: want the fancy house, they want the flashy, the nice clothes,
- 1:20:18Speaker 21: lavish vacations, and they keep spending that instead of saying, hey,
- 1:20:23Speaker 21: maybe I should not do that this year. Maybe I
- 1:20:25Speaker 21: can drive a little less expensive car or whatever. Buy
- 1:20:29Speaker 21: a used car, buy a second-hand off-lease car, something that's
- 1:20:33Speaker 21: not brand new. But they don't. Americans have a very
- 1:20:36Speaker 21: difficult time denying themselves their wants. You know, you look
- 1:20:41Speaker 21: at your father's generation. I guarantee you, your father probably
- 1:20:44Speaker 21: never even had a credit card. Or if he did,
- 1:20:46Speaker 21: he never carried it around.
- 1:20:47Speaker 2: I don't know that they even existed at the time, but... No.
- 1:20:50Speaker 21: No, it existed since the 60s. I mean, they've been
- 1:20:53Speaker 21: around for a long time, but that generation lived through
- 1:20:56Speaker 21: the Depression. They knew what real economic hardship was.
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: That is true. That changed. It was a life-changing event
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: for them. You're 100% correct.
- 1:21:06Speaker 21: I remember when my great-aunt died, and you were going
- 1:21:09Speaker 21: through that house, and those people didn't throw out anything.
- 1:21:12Speaker 21: There were Schwebel bags full of other Schwebel bags full
- 1:21:15Speaker 21: of Bread ties, because you might need them someday. You know,
- 1:21:18Speaker 21: I lived through the Depression. And you talk to them,
- 1:21:20Speaker 21: and that left an indelible impression on that generation of Americans.
- 1:21:24Speaker 21: And they did not spend the way their kids and
- 1:21:27Speaker 21: grandkids and great-grandkids now spend.
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: That's true.
- 1:21:30Speaker 21: So, I mean, while I agree with you that this inflation,
- 1:21:34Speaker 21: you know, the average American has the money. It would
- 1:21:40Speaker 21: just detract more from their wants than their needs, to
- 1:21:42Speaker 21: be perfectly honest with you. We're very spoiled. You want
- 1:21:46Speaker 21: to see inflation? Go over to Iran. One dollar, one U.S.
- 1:21:50Speaker 21: dollar is equal to two million, two million Iranian rials.
- 1:21:55Speaker 21: Their inflation, I think, in the last year has been
- 1:21:57Speaker 21: almost 100 percent. That's how much money those people have lost.
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't live in Iran, so it doesn't
- 1:22:04Speaker 2: matter to me.
- 1:22:04Speaker 21: But if we don't get our debt under control in
- 1:22:08Speaker 21: the next 20 or 30 years, that's what we're looking at.
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: Well, don't you think it's sooner than the 20 or
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: 30 years? I don't know. I'm looking at people right
- 1:22:16Speaker 2: now that are saying transportation, cars, trucks, SUVs are way
- 1:22:23Speaker 2: too expensive for them to be able to get a
- 1:22:29Speaker 2: new vehicle. I'm looking at people that are looking at
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: housing prices. I mean, I'm looking at people that are
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: talking about their energy bills.
- 1:22:36Speaker 21: I was at a conference about three weeks ago. About
- 1:22:38Speaker 21: three weeks ago, I went over to Flynn's. I was
- 1:22:39Speaker 21: getting tires put on my daughter's car for her. And
- 1:22:42Speaker 21: so next, you know, it takes a while. So I
- 1:22:44Speaker 21: go next door to the Ford dealer, and a salesman
- 1:22:47Speaker 21: comes out. I start talking to him, and I said,
- 1:22:48Speaker 21: do you have any Mustang GTs? First car I bought
- 1:22:50Speaker 21: out of college. I actually still have it. It was
- 1:22:53Speaker 21: a Mustang GT because I wanted one. And I think
- 1:22:56Speaker 21: I paid $ 14, 000 for it in 1991. He said, yeah,
- 1:22:59Speaker 21: there's a red one on the back. So I go
- 1:23:01Speaker 21: look at the.
- 1:23:01Speaker 9: Back of the auto.
- 1:23:02Speaker 21: I walk back there to look at it. I think
- 1:23:03Speaker 21: it was $ 58, 000.
- 1:23:03Speaker 10: Right.
- 1:23:07Speaker 21: And, like, who in their right mind is going to
- 1:23:10Speaker 21: spend $ 58, 000 on this thing?
- 1:23:12Speaker 16: Right.
- 1:23:13Speaker 21: Once again, though, wants versus needs. If you want it
- 1:23:16Speaker 21: and you've got the means, you're probably going to spend
- 1:23:18Speaker 21: the money. But, you know, you look at history. I
- 1:23:24Speaker 21: like to look at history. And you look at what
- 1:23:26Speaker 21: we did to Germany after World War I and the
- 1:23:29Speaker 21: Weimar Republic. And they went through the type of inflation
- 1:23:33Speaker 21: that Iran is going through right now. That's what pretty
- 1:23:36Speaker 21: much ultimately led to World War II, because we bankrupted
- 1:23:40Speaker 21: them so badly after World War I. It forced hyperinflation
- 1:23:43Speaker 21: that led to the rise of Hitler and those problems.
- 1:23:46Speaker 21: That's why I ultimately think, I mean, if you look
- 1:23:48Speaker 21: the last week or so, we're getting a lot more
- 1:23:51Speaker 21: oil out of the Middle East than we were a
- 1:23:52Speaker 21: month ago. With this economic blockade, with a blockade of
- 1:23:58Speaker 21: oil we've put on Iran, they can't get anything out,
- 1:24:00Speaker 21: so they have no revenue coming in. We're going after
- 1:24:03Speaker 21: their bank connections with other countries. I think you're going
- 1:24:05Speaker 21: to see this thing wrap up in the next month
- 1:24:09Speaker 21: or two. I honestly do. If we don't back down,
- 1:24:11Speaker 21: if we keep the pressure on them, I think that
- 1:24:14Speaker 21: government is not going to be able to tolerate it.
- 1:24:17Speaker 21: You're starting to see the cracks. If you start reading
- 1:24:19Speaker 21: news You know, there's a lot of news out there
- 1:24:22Speaker 21: other than just Fox. If you start reading the Wall
- 1:24:24Speaker 21: Street Journal, New York Times, you know, other credible news
- 1:24:27Speaker 21: sources and get other information, Iran is hurting way worse
- 1:24:31Speaker 21: than we are, you know, with an extra 75 cents
- 1:24:34Speaker 21: to a dollar a gallon in gas. If you want
- 1:24:37Speaker 21: to see, you know, you want to see hardship, take
- 1:24:39Speaker 21: a look around the world. We complain we've grown and grown,
- 1:24:43Speaker 21: but we still have it better than any place else
- 1:24:45Speaker 21: on Earth.
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: Well, I go back to my initial statement on it.
- 1:24:49Speaker 2: You know what Iran has to do to win this? Survive.
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: And so far, they're surviving.
- 1:24:55Speaker 21: And they have to survive their own people because, you know,
- 1:24:58Speaker 21: what's the old saying? Revolutions are fought on empty bellies.
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: But who knows where they stand?
- 1:25:02Speaker 21: In an article I read the other day, there was
- 1:25:04Speaker 21: a teacher in Iran that got paid on Monday, and
- 1:25:06Speaker 21: by Wednesday, all his money was gone. That's how bad
- 1:25:09Speaker 21: the inflation is. So, you know, how do you spend,
- 1:25:11Speaker 21: what do you do for the next 28 days of
- 1:25:13Speaker 21: the month?
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. It can go any way. It
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily mean that they're going to have a love
- 1:25:18Speaker 2: affair with the United States of America because they might
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: feel America is what is causing this problem. America is
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: what is destroying their country. You don't understand the mindset
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: of the people that are over there that they're going
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: to say, well, we're not going to tolerate this. It
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: might unite people together more than it divides them because
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: they got a common enemy. And it very well could
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: unite a country by saying, okay, We'll survive this. We'll
- 1:25:44Speaker 2: wait this out. We'll do what we have to do.
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: We're not giving in to these people that have bombed
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: our country and are doing this to us. I don't know.
- 1:25:53Speaker 21: The bigger problem you have is even if 90% of
- 1:25:56Speaker 21: the people are fed up and want it to change,
- 1:26:00Speaker 21: it's the 10% that control the guns that are going
- 1:26:02Speaker 21: to get what they want. That's the problem in Iran.
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: Maybe so.
- 1:26:06Speaker 21: Look at Germany and Japan. We beat the tar out
- 1:26:08Speaker 21: of both of those countries. They were destroyed. Before we
- 1:26:12Speaker 21: A-bombed Japan, the country was annihilated. We firebombed all their cities.
- 1:26:15Speaker 21: There was nothing left. They were still fighting because the
- 1:26:18Speaker 21: people that controlled the weaponry, if you control the guns,
- 1:26:22Speaker 21: you control the population.
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: Well, the answer always is, I mean, we keep changing strategies.
- 1:26:26Speaker 2: Let's see if this one works. If it doesn't, I
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: don't know what you do from here.
- 1:26:32Speaker 21: I mean, it's... Well, I mean, they've got... Trump has
- 1:26:36Speaker 21: about six weeks. I think if this thing wraps up
- 1:26:38Speaker 21: in the next six weeks, they can still save the midterms.
- 1:26:41Speaker 21: If it doesn't, it's going to be a bloodbath in November.
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: Well, it shouldn't be because why you'd vote for the
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: Democrats is beyond me on anything like that. However, this
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: thing needs to come to a conclusion because contrary to
- 1:26:59Speaker 2: what anyone says, it's not going well. It is costing
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: your debt deficits getting bigger as a result of it.
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: Your inflation is increasing as a result of it. And
- 1:27:13Speaker 2: you keep hearing, well, we got them now. We got
- 1:27:15Speaker 2: them now. We got them now. We've heard that now
- 1:27:18Speaker 2: for months.
- 1:27:19Speaker 21: G2 says it all the time, though. You send the Republicans.
- 1:27:23Speaker 21: The Republicans are supposed to be the party of fiscal conservatism, right?
- 1:27:26Speaker 21: You see any fiscal conservatism coming out of any form
- 1:27:29Speaker 21: of government, whether it's controlled by a Democrat or a Republican?
- 1:27:33Speaker 21: And that goes from your local school boards all the
- 1:27:35Speaker 21: way up to D.C. Nobody, nobody is fiscally conservative in government.
- 1:27:43Speaker 2: Yep, I would agree with that. All right. Thank you, Rich.
- 1:27:46Speaker 2: Appreciate it. Enjoy. Have a good weekend. You too. You're
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: on air.
- 1:27:51Speaker 20: So that was a very good call by Rich. Except
- 1:27:56Speaker 20: I want to correct one thing about when inflation started.
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: Yes, it's the guru from Girard, yes.
- 1:28:04Speaker 20: So it first actually started mostly in 1970 when Nixon
- 1:28:07Speaker 20: signed us up with the gold standard so that we
- 1:28:10Speaker 20: were just printing money with the promise of paying it back.
- 1:28:13Speaker 2: Let me, before, Professor, we go down this road. Most
- 1:28:17Speaker 2: people didn't, I mean, there was inflation during Jimmy Carter's time.
- 1:28:21Speaker 2: But in general, since I, probably like you, I've lived
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: a lot of the history, most inflation wasn't too noticeable.
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: Remember when whip inflation now under Gerald Ford and Carter happened?
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: That was when inflation was high and noticeable. We've had
- 1:28:36Speaker 2: these peaks and things, but nothing like we've experienced since COVID. Nothing.
- 1:28:40Speaker 20: Well, I was about to say, let me hop, skip,
- 1:28:42Speaker 20: and jump, because he did say it kind of started
- 1:28:45Speaker 20: under the end of Obama.
- 1:28:46Speaker 21: Do you remember?
- 1:28:46Speaker 20: It actually started towards the beginning of Obama. Do you
- 1:28:49Speaker 20: remember the word quantitative easing?
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:28:54Speaker 20: You asked me about it. I remember back when they
- 1:28:56Speaker 20: first said they were doing it, and I said it
- 1:28:57Speaker 20: was a It was a way to slowly drop you
- 1:29:00Speaker 20: into the poorhouse rather than all at once. And that
- 1:29:05Speaker 20: is primarily massive printing money in order to help a
- 1:29:12Speaker 20: money shortage, which was caused by all that banking problem.
- 1:29:15Speaker 20: So that's when it really started. And by the way,
- 1:29:19Speaker 20: that is the day that I started preparing for today
- 1:29:21Speaker 20: in my life. And we talked about it a million times, but, um,
- 1:29:27Speaker 20: That's when I just started saying, this is going nowhere good.
- 1:29:30Speaker 20: And at some point, it's going to start feeling like,
- 1:29:32Speaker 20: why more Germany here if they just keep this up?
- 1:29:35Speaker 20: And somebody's got to get this under wraps, you know.
- 1:29:39Speaker 2: Somebody cares.
- 1:29:40Speaker 20: You know, when you listen to Sherrod Brown and people
- 1:29:43Speaker 20: like Tim Ryan, they were there the whole time. And
- 1:29:46Speaker 20: there's others, you know, I just know them. That's why
- 1:29:48Speaker 20: I have to pick on them. But, like, when they
- 1:29:52Speaker 20: think about running again, what did you really.
- 1:29:54Speaker 7: Do, guys?
- 1:29:54Speaker 20: You went down there, you just got... You just made
- 1:29:57Speaker 20: yourself and your buddies rich. You slapped yourself on the
- 1:29:59Speaker 20: back like you were doing all kinds of good stuff.
- 1:30:02Speaker 20: And you spent your kids' money and your grandkids' money
- 1:30:08Speaker 20: and called yourself, like, smart. You know, I wouldn't vote
- 1:30:12Speaker 20: for any of those guys again. I don't know who
- 1:30:14Speaker 20: to vote for.
- 1:30:14Speaker 5: I mean, I.
- 1:30:16Speaker 20: Have to agree with you. There are no fiscal conservatives,
- 1:30:20Speaker 20: you know, really. Like, all these things. I kept telling you,
- 1:30:24Speaker 20: we live a lot better than our parents. And, you know,
- 1:30:27Speaker 20: I mean, you see kids riding bikes today, they can't
- 1:30:30Speaker 20: even pedal.
- 1:30:32Speaker 15: They've got to use energy.
- 1:30:33Speaker 7: You know what I mean?
- 1:30:34Speaker 20: Like, where are we?
- 1:30:35Speaker 15: I don't know.
- 1:30:37Speaker 21: Where are we going?
- 1:30:38Speaker 20: They couldn't cut grass. Somebody else cuts grass. Who's going
- 1:30:41Speaker 20: to make an investment in this generation that's like that?
- 1:30:45Speaker 21: No one.
- 1:30:46Speaker 20: So, I hate to tell you, one day, you know,
- 1:30:48Speaker 20: I woke up and, like, my whole philosophical mind, I said,
- 1:30:52Speaker 20: This place is a prison and no one just told me. And,
- 1:30:55Speaker 20: you know, because no one gets out alive. So it
- 1:30:58Speaker 20: could be a lot worse than it is today.
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: A lot worse.
- 1:31:03Speaker 20: But it could be better, too. And I think we
- 1:31:05Speaker 20: need to get the Devender control run.
- 1:31:08Speaker 2: Well, do you see that happening anytime soon?
- 1:31:14Speaker 20: That's why I called the show.
- 1:31:15Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: It's logical, I hope, but again... Right, but I go
- 1:31:21Speaker 2: back to my initial argument. The only time I thought
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: that this country was going to be under control was
- 1:31:27Speaker 2: with Musk saying there's $ 2 trillion being wasted every year.
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: And look what they did to him. So show me
- 1:31:33Speaker 2: anyone that's working on serious... Major cuts to spending. Remember
- 1:31:40Speaker 2: what Reagan used to say. We don't have a taxing problem.
- 1:31:42Speaker 2: We have a spending problem. Well, what he said then
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: still applies today. But is anybody doing anything about it? Well,
- 1:31:49Speaker 2: they saw what happened to Musk. So I don't anticipate
- 1:31:53Speaker 2: it ever being dealt with. Look at how it's growing
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: under Trump. and the Republicans, and it will continue. If
- 1:32:00Speaker 2: the Democrats win, my God, with all their programs and handouts,
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: it'll just grow even more. So I think you're starting
- 1:32:06Speaker 2: to see the crap hit the fan because that's why you're...
- 1:32:13Speaker 2: Your payment on interest is so high anymore, and it's
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: just servicing the debt. It's not lowering it. So when
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: I look around at what's going on, I don't see
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: any promising signs. Do you think bailing out Japan and
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: the finagling that they were doing in the bond market
- 1:32:30Speaker 2: are good economic signs?
- 1:32:32Speaker 20: Well, let me explain that.
- 1:32:33Speaker 16: May I?
- 1:32:34Speaker 20: You may, but I don't think it's a good sign,
- 1:32:37Speaker 20: but was it logical?
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: I'm not arguing that, but was it a good sign?
- 1:32:42Speaker 2: Is it juggling the balls to try to keep all
- 1:32:45Speaker 2: the crap from hitting the fan? Well, okay, yes, but
- 1:32:49Speaker 2: it just delays the inevitable.
- 1:32:53Speaker 20: All I have to say is back when we talked
- 1:32:55Speaker 20: about quantitative easing, I explained to you and I said,
- 1:32:59Speaker 20: the only way you undo this is somebody has to
- 1:33:02Speaker 20: be brave enough to burn money.
- 1:33:06Speaker 2: Right?
- 1:33:06Speaker 20: They printed it, right? Somebody has to be brave enough
- 1:33:09Speaker 20: to do the opposite. And effectively what they did in
- 1:33:13Speaker 20: Japan is kind of like that to me. Like you're
- 1:33:17Speaker 20: burning money because you're rebuying those treasuries. Now, but the
- 1:33:25Speaker 20: problem is I think they printed more money to do it.
- 1:33:29Speaker 20: So they need to buy those back and not print
- 1:33:32Speaker 20: money to do it in order to really solve it.
- 1:33:36Speaker 20: Reverse the problem. And, you know, when I talk to
- 1:33:41Speaker 20: you about, like, partly what I'm doing, like, I choose
- 1:33:45Speaker 20: to study government and how it operates and processes and
- 1:33:49Speaker 20: things like that in the data. The answer is that
- 1:33:51Speaker 20: the problems are in the computer because that's a lot of, like,
- 1:33:53Speaker 20: the fraud and mismanagement because it all happens so fast.
- 1:33:56Speaker 20: And the solution is in the computer. But I think
- 1:33:59Speaker 20: kind of people are too lazy to do that. AI
- 1:34:02Speaker 20: is giving us a possibility time to do it for
- 1:34:05Speaker 20: time limited.
- 1:34:07Speaker 2: Are you embracing AI?
- 1:34:11Speaker 20: I'm studying it because it's there before me. Nobody asked
- 1:34:14Speaker 20: me about it before they did it. They just said,
- 1:34:16Speaker 20: here it is. So I'm with you guys all on
- 1:34:21Speaker 20: the data center caution.
- 1:34:23Speaker 11: Believe me.
- 1:34:24Speaker 20: But AI is not data centers. And by the way,
- 1:34:27Speaker 20: we should start saying hyperscale data centers because there's a
- 1:34:30Speaker 20: lot of data centers that don't even use as much
- 1:34:34Speaker 20: as your hair dryer. And they're there, you know, like
- 1:34:36Speaker 20: for colleges and things like that. But it's those big
- 1:34:40Speaker 20: ones that are a real problem. So hyperscale data centers.
- 1:34:44Speaker 2: All right, Professor.
- 1:34:46Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:34:47Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:34:48Speaker 20: Have a great weekend, my friend.
- 1:34:49Speaker 21: I'll be listening.
- 1:34:50Speaker 2: Thank you. You're on air.
- 1:34:52Speaker 15: Ronnie.
- 1:34:54Speaker 2: It's the unknown caller.
- 1:34:56Speaker 10: Ron, I was on hold for three minutes. I wasn't
- 1:34:58Speaker 10: expecting that.
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: Well, I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long.
- 1:35:04Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:35:05Speaker 10: You don't understand my life. My time's worth a lot.
- 1:35:10Speaker 2: Three minutes used to be something you'd brag about back
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: in your honeymoon days.
- 1:35:19Speaker 7: Yeah, okay.
- 1:35:20Speaker 10: Hey, you just talked about delaying the inevitable by doing
- 1:35:26Speaker 10: the whole Japan deal that they did. Yes. It's just
- 1:35:29Speaker 10: like heart surgery. You're delaying the inevitable.
- 1:35:33Speaker 8: You're going to die.
- 1:35:34Speaker 10: So, I mean, you can look at it that way.
- 1:35:36Speaker 10: But where do I even start?
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: I don't know. Where do you even start? I tell
- 1:35:46Speaker 2: you what, let me pause for commercials, and you mull
- 1:35:48Speaker 2: over where you want to start, all right? Get your
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: act together, and we'll find out where he wants to
- 1:35:53Speaker 2: start in a minute. Ron Burb, NewsRadio 570 WKBN. From
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: the kingdom of Mahoning we are on a good-looking Friday,
- 1:36:00Speaker 2: August 28th at 78 degrees. Glad you tuned in. I'll
- 1:36:03Speaker 2: be right back. Zero is the 70.
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: WKVN.
- 1:36:10Speaker 2: Hidey-ho, 4.55 in the afternoon in Ron Verbari. Did you
- 1:36:12Speaker 2: get your act together?
- 1:36:15Speaker 10: Somewhat, yeah.
- 1:36:16Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:36:16Speaker 10: I think I did. So the last caller made, I
- 1:36:21Speaker 10: think it was him that made a good point about,
- 1:36:22Speaker 10: you know, the kids don't pedal the bikes anymore. They
- 1:36:25Speaker 10: got electric batteries, but yet they're worried about the new
- 1:36:27Speaker 10: green scam. Yeah.
- 1:36:31Speaker 8: Okay.
- 1:36:31Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:36:33Speaker 27: And, like, I.
- 1:36:34Speaker 10: Was in Philadelphia this weekend. They had a special training
- 1:36:40Speaker 10: event at the stadium. And when you go into the bathrooms,
- 1:36:44Speaker 10: the urinals, they're all disgusting because they only flush, like,
- 1:36:52Speaker 10: every 10 minutes. And they both said it saves, like,
- 1:36:55Speaker 10: 5,000 gallons per event, which is just insane.
- 1:37:01Speaker 8: You know, I just think how.
- 1:37:02Speaker 10: Many diseases are spread there. They only flush like every
- 1:37:06Speaker 10: 10 minutes. You walk up and you can't even flush
- 1:37:08Speaker 10: it yourself. There's no way to flush it. It's just,
- 1:37:12Speaker 10: you know, automatic. You got to wait till it flushes.
- 1:37:14Speaker 2: Let me see if I get this straight. You were
- 1:37:16Speaker 2: in Philadelphia, you claim, right?
- 1:37:18Speaker 11: Correct.
- 1:37:19Speaker 2: And you were at a stadium?
- 1:37:22Speaker 10: Yeah, where the Eagles play.
- 1:37:23Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:37:24Speaker 2: All right. So you're at a stadium and you go
- 1:37:28Speaker 2: to the typical male urinal. You relieve yourself. and then
- 1:37:33Speaker 2: it just goes down to where it would normally sit,
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: and the next guy does it, and the next guy
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: does it, and then after 10 minutes, the auto flush happens.
- 1:37:43Speaker 2: So it doesn't do it each time when you walk
- 1:37:46Speaker 2: away from it, and it saves them a ton of
- 1:37:49Speaker 2: water is what you're saying.
- 1:37:51Speaker 10: After an $ 18 beer, you know, you'd think you'd be
- 1:37:54Speaker 10: able to flush your own Totally. But, yeah, it's just,
- 1:37:58Speaker 10: I look up, you know, I'm like, first thing you
- 1:38:01Speaker 10: think of is, last guy didn't flush, oh, come on.
- 1:38:04Speaker 10: And then you look, like, they're all, you go to
- 1:38:06Speaker 10: the next one, nope, nope, nope. And it just flushes, like,
- 1:38:10Speaker 10: on an automatic timer. And they boast that it saves
- 1:38:15Speaker 10: 5,000 gallons of water per event. I don't know, how
- 1:38:17Speaker 10: many games do they got there a year?
- 1:38:19Speaker 20: You know, like, eight, was that? Yeah.
- 1:38:22Speaker 10: 30,000 gallons of water they're saving.
- 1:38:25Speaker 2: I'm surprised that you did such research to be able
- 1:38:27Speaker 2: to do that. to even uncover something like this. I mean,
- 1:38:32Speaker 2: you know, the normal guy. Here's my M.O. I would
- 1:38:37Speaker 2: go take care of my business. I would leave and
- 1:38:39Speaker 2: I wouldn't think twice about it. But somehow this just
- 1:38:43Speaker 2: ate at your craw. You got done urinating and you said,
- 1:38:47Speaker 2: why didn't it flush? I can't flush it manually. It
- 1:38:49Speaker 2: didn't automatically flush. You walked away and apparently you somehow
- 1:38:53Speaker 2: decided to do some research on the urinals at the facility.
- 1:38:59Speaker 10: All right, Ronnie, you walk a mile in my shoes.
- 1:39:01Speaker 10: You walk up to a urinal and you can't clean
- 1:39:04Speaker 10: it before you dispense into it. It's disgusting. And you'll
- 1:39:09Speaker 10: find out that you're going to be like, why is this?
- 1:39:11Speaker 10: And then you'll be looking it up on the Google.
- 1:39:14Speaker 10: Speaking of looking it up on the Google.
- 1:39:21Speaker 2: I'm glad you got to the bottom of it.
- 1:39:23Speaker 10: The price of gas in 2012, it was 364 gallons.
- 1:39:26Speaker 10: Adjusted for inflation, it'd be 523 today. The average price
- 1:39:37Speaker 10: of gas. So I know gas prices are high. They're higher,
- 1:39:42Speaker 10: and I think it is hurting the Republicans.
- 1:39:45Speaker 2: Stand by, please. Stand by. I'll get back to him

- 1:41:20Speaker 3: Don't talk about the deliberations. Don't listen to anything.

- 1:41:29Speaker 24: Clancy is charged with killing her three young children. The

- 1:44:33Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb. on news radio 570 wkbn.
- 1:44:38Speaker 2: Welcome boys and girls it's already august 28th it's friday
- 1:44:41Speaker 2: it's 77 degrees all right now go ahead with your
- 1:44:45Speaker 2: now you've covered urinals in philadelphia your next topic.
- 1:44:49Speaker 10: Well after that five minute delay in broadcasting it kind
- 1:44:53Speaker 10: of screwed my act up ronnie but um yeah i
- 1:44:57Speaker 10: was talking about uh... the gas prices if if you
- 1:45:01Speaker 10: just for inflation in two thousand twelve like uh... at
- 1:45:05Speaker 10: the end of obama's first term i think it was
- 1:45:08Speaker 10: right or second term so anyhow um... the gas prices
- 1:45:13Speaker 10: were three sixty four but if you had adjustment for
- 1:45:17Speaker 10: inflation there five twenty three you know it like if
- 1:45:21Speaker 10: people were paying five twenty three gallon right now they'd
- 1:45:24Speaker 10: be kind of p o d four 420. I mean,
- 1:45:28Speaker 10: around here, I've seen them go back down. They're like 369, 379.
- 1:45:32Speaker 10: So they're still manageable. But, hey, this woman that is
- 1:45:42Speaker 10: on trial for strangling her kids.
- 1:45:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:45:49Speaker 10: And did you see the support for her, the.
- 1:45:56Speaker 10: I don't know how to take this. I mean, they're
- 1:45:58Speaker 10: saying she was postpartum depression.
- 1:46:02Speaker 20: You know?
- 1:46:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:46:05Speaker 10: I don't understand how that could be a defense for
- 1:46:09Speaker 10: killing three children, strangling your own children. And these people
- 1:46:13Speaker 10: are out front in pink shirts, these women protesting. What's
- 1:46:19Speaker 10: your thoughts on that, Ronnie?
- 1:46:23Speaker 2: It's... When you hear the crime, you have to sit
- 1:46:28Speaker 2: back and say, obviously, you've got to be mentally ill.
- 1:46:32Speaker 2: You have to start with the premise that you're mentally
- 1:46:34Speaker 2: ill because you killed your own children. I mean, you
- 1:46:38Speaker 2: strangled them. You killed your own children. You can't be
- 1:46:42Speaker 2: functioning with a normal mind at all. You've got to
- 1:46:47Speaker 2: be nuts to do that in the first place. Something
- 1:46:50Speaker 2: mentally is off. And then supposedly you jumped out of
- 1:46:54Speaker 2: the second story window thinking that you would then kill yourself.
- 1:47:00Speaker 2: So you can't be functioning with a normal mind when
- 1:47:02Speaker 2: you do something like that. But on the same turn,
- 1:47:07Speaker 2: it was premeditated because you sent your husband off running
- 1:47:10Speaker 2: errands to make sure he wasn't there to stop it.
- 1:47:14Speaker 2: So if you're asking me, do I think she was
- 1:47:17Speaker 2: mentally ill? Absolutely. You would have to be to do
- 1:47:20Speaker 2: something like that. Does that mean that there isn't ramifications
- 1:47:28Speaker 2: to it?
- 1:47:29Speaker 22: No.
- 1:47:29Speaker 2: It means that... Ronnie, how many.
- 1:47:34Speaker 10: Normal people murder their kids? You know, I mean, how
- 1:47:39Speaker 10: many normal people murder at all?
- 1:47:41Speaker 2: Right, they don't. They don't. You've got to have.
- 1:47:45Speaker 10: If they start bringing this insanity defense and it gets
- 1:47:48Speaker 10: more popular and more used, then... People are going to
- 1:47:51Speaker 10: get away with murder, basically.
- 1:47:54Speaker 2: Well, I don't think she should get away with it.
- 1:47:56Speaker 2: I don't think she should get away with it. I
- 1:47:58Speaker 2: think if she's got issues, she should obviously get them addressed,
- 1:48:05Speaker 2: but she should never be a free person again, if
- 1:48:07Speaker 2: you're asking me that. But I think that there's probably
- 1:48:11Speaker 2: a lot of legitimacy to people with mental illness on
- 1:48:14Speaker 2: some of the stuff that they do. I mean, from
- 1:48:18Speaker 2: my perspective, you would have to... to be mentally ill
- 1:48:23Speaker 2: to do some of the things that people do. I mean,
- 1:48:25Speaker 2: I don't know how anybody in their right mind could
- 1:48:28Speaker 2: do some of the stuff that people do.
- 1:48:32Speaker 10: So you lock her up, you give her better dental
- 1:48:35Speaker 10: and health care than anybody else on the planet gets you.
- 1:48:38Speaker 10: You give her, you know, free cable, free food, but
- 1:48:42Speaker 10: keep her out of society at that point. Hey, how
- 1:48:45Speaker 10: about the, I don't know who was talking about the
- 1:48:48Speaker 10: painters that go out for like months at a time.
- 1:48:51Speaker 12: Yes.
- 1:48:52Speaker 10: How would you like a job like that? You wouldn't
- 1:48:54Speaker 10: have to put up with your wife for like months at.
- 1:48:57Speaker 11: A time, Ronnie.
- 1:48:57Speaker 2: No, she wouldn't have to put up with me. She
- 1:48:59Speaker 2: would probably appreciate it more than I would. Here's a
- 1:49:04Speaker 2: shocker to you. I got a pretty good wife. I mean,
- 1:49:06Speaker 2: I don't mind being around her. It's okay with me.
- 1:49:13Speaker 10: I do as well. It's just one of my man jokes,
- 1:49:16Speaker 10: if you will.
- 1:49:17Speaker 2: It's like outside-your-man jokes in all seriousness, folks. When I
- 1:49:21Speaker 2: was thinking about this situation once again with this guy
- 1:49:26Speaker 2: that owns a San Francisco 49ers, the whole scenario, first
- 1:49:30Speaker 2: of all, the amount of attention it's getting is... It's
- 1:49:33Speaker 2: a little overboard on it. As I said, he didn't
- 1:49:36Speaker 2: kill anybody. He didn't go rob a bank or something.
- 1:49:41Speaker 2: What he did was obviously stupid and wrong. I mean,
- 1:49:45Speaker 2: there are many people that think prostitution should be legalized.
- 1:49:48Speaker 2: It is in Nevada, in some other areas. Many people
- 1:49:52Speaker 2: think it should be legalized. Hell, we've legalized marijuana, and
- 1:49:55Speaker 2: people argue that we should be legalizing prostitution too. But,
- 1:49:59Speaker 2: I mean, if I sat back and said– if I
- 1:50:02Speaker 2: sat back and analyze this, it's like, he should be
- 1:50:05Speaker 2: sitting there thinking, where did I fail in my marriage?
- 1:50:10Speaker 2: What I think is sad is, is that apparently he
- 1:50:13Speaker 2: was going through a divorce and there's children involved. And
- 1:50:17Speaker 2: I'm one of those old-fashioned guys. I think there's far
- 1:50:19Speaker 2: too much divorce that goes on. When you get married
- 1:50:22Speaker 2: and you have children, it's not about just you anymore.
- 1:50:27Speaker 2: It's about your family. It's about the two of you
- 1:50:30Speaker 2: and the children that you brought into this world. And
- 1:50:33Speaker 2: too many people, I think, are too quick to pull
- 1:50:36Speaker 2: the trigger, go get divorced, or whatever the situation might be,
- 1:50:40Speaker 2: as opposed to just.
- 1:50:43Speaker 2: Give it some time. And so what you thought was
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: a big deal isn't a big deal. Now, I always
- 1:50:49Speaker 2: got to emphasize things. I'm not saying that there aren't
- 1:50:51Speaker 2: reasons to get divorced. Obviously, adultery. Obviously, if somebody's got
- 1:50:55Speaker 2: a gambling problem or cheating or a major drug addiction,
- 1:51:00Speaker 2: there's obviously reasons to get divorced. But do I think
- 1:51:02Speaker 2: far too many people get divorced? Yes. In other words...
- 1:51:08Speaker 2: Once you get married, I mean, there is no bigger compliments.
- 1:51:13Speaker 2: I'll say this to all of you. There is no
- 1:51:16Speaker 2: bigger compliments you as a man can receive than when
- 1:51:19Speaker 2: you ask the girl you love to marry you and
- 1:51:21Speaker 2: she says yes. There is no bigger compliment in the
- 1:51:25Speaker 2: world than that. There is no bigger accomplishment than that.
- 1:51:29Speaker 2: And if you're lucky enough to have that happen to
- 1:51:31Speaker 2: you and you're lucky enough to have children, then you
- 1:51:37Speaker 2: should do your best to stay married and to provide
- 1:51:40Speaker 2: a good home for your wife and your children. I
- 1:51:43Speaker 2: just think that's your duty. I don't know why half
- 1:51:46Speaker 2: of our marriages end in divorce. it's, I find it disturbing.
- 1:51:51Speaker 2: So I kind of feel on one hand, I don't
- 1:51:54Speaker 2: know what happened to this guy's marriage, but I mean,
- 1:51:57Speaker 2: you know, there's an ex-wife or a soon to be
- 1:51:59Speaker 2: ex-wife involved. There's children involved here. And, and to go
- 1:52:04Speaker 2: down the road he did is just, I mean, it's,
- 1:52:08Speaker 2: it's embarrassing to him. I'm sure it's upsetting to his
- 1:52:11Speaker 2: ex-wife or his, I don't know if he's the ex-wife
- 1:52:14Speaker 2: yet or not. I'm sure it's embarrassing to, to his children,
- 1:52:17Speaker 2: to his wife, to his mother and his family. And
- 1:52:20Speaker 2: I'm sure he's sitting thinking, why the hell was I
- 1:52:22Speaker 2: doing this? How stupid this was. I mean, just to
- 1:52:26Speaker 2: go do this. I mean, first of all, how safe
- 1:52:29Speaker 2: is this to begin with? You're driving somewhere you're not
- 1:52:31Speaker 2: familiar with, meeting someone you don't know. The whole concept
- 1:52:36Speaker 2: of this is not a very wise thing to do
- 1:52:39Speaker 2: or safe thing to do in the first place. So
- 1:52:42Speaker 2: maybe you're... Your head's– you're a little screwed up. This
- 1:52:49Speaker 2: is how I'm tying this all together, I guess. Maybe
- 1:52:51Speaker 2: you're a little screwed up because you're going through some
- 1:52:54Speaker 2: type of a divorce or whatever and you're not thinking straight.
- 1:52:57Speaker 2: Because I don't understand how anyone in their right mind
- 1:53:00Speaker 2: could do what he did. I mean, it's just– you
- 1:53:04Speaker 2: don't know where you're going. You don't know who you're meeting.
- 1:53:07Speaker 2: You don't know how safe this is. It's just the
- 1:53:10Speaker 2: whole damn thing is stupid. So– Go ahead.
- 1:53:14Speaker 11: Absolutely true.
- 1:53:16Speaker 10: Absolutely true. But I mean, just think if there was
- 1:53:20Speaker 10: legalized prostitution, I might, you know, it would eliminate this.
- 1:53:24Speaker 10: It might even eliminate like a lot of rapes that
- 1:53:28Speaker 10: go across the country. You know, if somebody could just
- 1:53:32Speaker 10: go to, you know, a legalized thing to fake themselves,
- 1:53:36Speaker 10: then they won't rape somebody or be weird or.
- 1:53:40Speaker 2: I don't even understand that. I mean, really, if we
- 1:53:45Speaker 2: go down this road, I don't understand this at all either, folks.
- 1:53:48Speaker 2: I mean, this idea of, okay, isn't there more than
- 1:53:54Speaker 2: just this act? So what, you're going to pay somebody
- 1:53:56Speaker 2: to have sex with you, but they don't really care
- 1:54:02Speaker 2: for you or whatever, and– That alone is odd. Don't
- 1:54:08Speaker 2: you find that to be odd, too? I mean, I
- 1:54:11Speaker 2: find a lot of stuff just weird. I mean, you're
- 1:54:13Speaker 2: going to a prostitute. Well, she doesn't love you. She
- 1:54:16Speaker 2: doesn't care about you. There's no emotion involved in that.
- 1:54:20Speaker 2: So what's the point?
- 1:54:23Speaker 10: She's feeding her children, Ronnie. Hey, Ronnie, where do you
- 1:54:27Speaker 10: expect this conversation to go when we started off with
- 1:54:30Speaker 10: the urinal thing?
- 1:54:32Speaker 2: I never hear, but it did.
- 1:54:34Speaker 14: Yes.
- 1:54:36Speaker 4: All right.
- 1:54:36Speaker 2: Hey, Ronnie, you know what?
- 1:54:37Speaker 10: One more thing before I go. My wife listens to
- 1:54:41Speaker 10: your show sometimes, and she mentioned that oftentimes now when
- 1:54:48Speaker 10: you cut a guest off, you say, I got to go.
- 1:54:51Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:54:51Speaker 2: Yes, I have. I've embraced.
- 1:54:55Speaker 20: It.
- 1:54:55Speaker 10: Ronnie, I got to go.
- 1:54:56Speaker 5: Okay.
- 1:54:57Speaker 2: There you go. See, I've embraced this. I got to go.
- 1:55:00Speaker 2: I've embraced it. But I mean, when I think about
- 1:55:04Speaker 2: so much stuff that happens, I got to think, man,
- 1:55:08Speaker 2: you got to be like mentally screwed up. This woman
- 1:55:12Speaker 2: couldn't have killed those kids if she wasn't mentally, had
- 1:55:16Speaker 2: some mental thing going on. I mean, it's like when
- 1:55:23Speaker 2: you see about people doing some of the stuff they do,
- 1:55:26Speaker 2: it just doesn't make sense. It just doesn't add up.
- 1:55:32Speaker 2: So there's got to be some type of mental illness
- 1:55:37Speaker 2: when a man rapes a woman. Yeah, got to be
- 1:55:41Speaker 2: something screwed up in your head to go do that
- 1:55:43Speaker 2: to someone. You're lacking any compassion or empathy. When you
- 1:55:50Speaker 2: go kill someone outside of a war situation. So I
- 1:55:59Speaker 2: think a lot of what happens from a criminal standpoint
- 1:56:03Speaker 2: is as a result of some type of mental illness.
- 1:56:10Speaker 2: And in many cases, in some cases, it's not the case.
- 1:56:14Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean there still shouldn't be ramifications and
- 1:56:18Speaker 2: punishment because somebody's still dead. There has to be consequences
- 1:56:24Speaker 2: to it. But, you know, with this whole York thing
- 1:56:29Speaker 2: and the trailer park going to meet a prostitute, I
- 1:56:32Speaker 2: kind of feel– I feel bad for his ex-wife or
- 1:56:35Speaker 2: his wife. I feel bad for his kids. I feel
- 1:56:38Speaker 2: bad for his family that he embarrassed him. And I
- 1:56:41Speaker 2: feel bad for the guy making a horrible decision. And
- 1:56:46Speaker 2: learn from it and get on the right path in life.
- 1:56:51Speaker 2: It's not the only– it's not– It's not the end
- 1:56:55Speaker 2: of life. It's a stupid decision. Put it behind you
- 1:56:58Speaker 2: and move on. It would be my attitude. It's not
- 1:57:06Speaker 2: something to, I don't know. It's just my thought about it.
- 1:57:11Speaker 2: I wish more people would think before they go through
- 1:57:15Speaker 2: this divorce, I wish they would honestly think, how they
- 1:57:21Speaker 2: felt when they first married their wife or their husband
- 1:57:27Speaker 2: and what your thoughts and your emotions were at that
- 1:57:29Speaker 2: time and why you, and why you chose and married
- 1:57:33Speaker 2: that person. And you should never forget that. I often
- 1:57:37Speaker 2: say to you guys on a, on a regular basis, uh,
- 1:57:42Speaker 2: don't forget how excited you were when you were hired at,
- 1:57:45Speaker 2: at wherever you work. And, uh, As my father would say,
- 1:57:53Speaker 2: your job is to make your boss look good. Don't
- 1:57:56Speaker 2: forget how excited it was when you got your first
- 1:57:59Speaker 2: job and somebody was willing to pay you to show
- 1:58:02Speaker 2: up and do something. Or how excited I was when
- 1:58:06Speaker 2: you got whatever job you're doing today you know don't
- 1:58:11Speaker 2: forget that feeling in that moment and become just bitter
- 1:58:16Speaker 2: or angry or I don't even know how to describe
- 1:58:19Speaker 2: it where I see people and I'm thinking boy you
- 1:58:23Speaker 2: know think how excited you were a year ago or
- 1:58:26Speaker 2: two years ago or whatever when you got this job
- 1:58:28Speaker 2: and now All you do is bitch and complain about it.
- 1:58:36Speaker 2: And likewise, when it comes to like, nobody's perfect. Likewise,
- 1:58:40Speaker 2: when it comes to getting married, don't forget about the
- 1:58:45Speaker 2: feelings and thoughts you had about the person that you
- 1:58:47Speaker 2: asked to marry you and that they had for you
- 1:58:50Speaker 2: and try to get and try to keep that spirit
- 1:58:53Speaker 2: somewhat alive. And the respect and memories to each other.
- 1:58:58Speaker 2: Like I say, as a man, there's no bigger compliment
- 1:59:00Speaker 2: than when you ask a woman that loves you to
- 1:59:02Speaker 2: marry you and she says yes. That is the biggest compliment. Well,
- 1:59:07Speaker 2: don't destroy that by thinking, oh, this woman over here
- 1:59:11Speaker 2: is prettier or younger or whatever that is. Doesn't matter.
- 1:59:19Speaker 2: What about the life you live, the memories and experiences
- 1:59:24Speaker 2: you have? Try to work your problems out. Try to
- 1:59:28Speaker 2: keep your family intact. It's better for them and it's
- 1:59:32Speaker 2: better for you long term. Try to remember how excited
- 1:59:37Speaker 2: you were when you got that job and try to
- 1:59:39Speaker 2: take that same spirit with you each and every day.
- 1:59:42Speaker 2: My mother used to say, you're not in prison if
- 1:59:45Speaker 2: you like it there. What does that mean? You say
- 1:59:49Speaker 2: you're not in prison if you like it there. Well,
- 1:59:53Speaker 2: it means it's a state of mind. It's your state
- 1:59:56Speaker 2: of mind. It's getting your head together. You know, you're
- 2:00:05Speaker 2: not in prison if you convince yourself you like it there.
- 2:00:10Speaker 2: And that's what you got to do. You got to
- 2:00:12Speaker 2: get your head together. You got to get your act together.
- 2:00:14Speaker 2: You got to get your mentality together. Roll with the punches,
- 2:00:20Speaker 2: as my dad says. Make the best of things. Look
- 2:00:24Speaker 2: for the positives of people and not the negatives. Life's advice.
- 2:00:30Speaker 2: You're on the air.
- 2:00:31Speaker 8: Hey, Ron, I've got to bend the rules. I forgot
- 2:00:34Speaker 8: to tell you something.
- 2:00:36Speaker 2: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I know you forgot
- 2:00:39Speaker 2: to say it. Let me start. I love you, too.
- 2:00:43Speaker 20: Of course.
- 2:00:44Speaker 12: That's a given.
- 2:00:44Speaker 2: Okay.
- 2:00:45Speaker 8: I don't know what I'm going to do without you
- 2:00:47Speaker 8: for a month, but I'll get over it. Hey, in
- 2:00:49Speaker 8: response to Trump renaming Lake Ontario, the Canadians have responded,
- 2:00:55Speaker 8: my brother told me. Now, I don't know if this
- 2:00:57Speaker 8: is true, but according to my brother this morning, Canada
- 2:01:01Speaker 8: is going to rename the Canadian geese. They are now
- 2:01:04Speaker 8: going to be called Trump ducks. If that's true, that'll
- 2:01:13Speaker 8: set Trump off his rocker, because that guy is an egotistical,
- 2:01:16Speaker 8: narcissistic hedgehog. What do you think?
- 2:01:20Speaker 12: I kind of like it.
- 2:01:21Speaker 8: Trump ducks. I mean, hey, what's fair is, what do
- 2:01:24Speaker 8: they say? What's fair? I forget what it says, but
- 2:01:27Speaker 8: you know what I'm thinking of.
- 2:01:28Speaker 2: You got it, buddy.
- 2:01:29Speaker 8: We have Trump ducks. And that poor woman in that
- 2:01:31Speaker 8: Clancy trial, I hope she's not guilty for reason of insanity.
- 2:01:35Speaker 8: I listened to every minute of that trial, the audio.
- 2:01:39Speaker 8: That woman was given over 18 medications by a woman
- 2:01:42Speaker 8: who claimed to be a professional who was two months
- 2:01:44Speaker 8: out of residency.
- 2:01:46Speaker 2: And some of those drugs do.
- 2:01:47Speaker 8: Hotline twice was told we can't help you. Sent to
- 2:01:50Speaker 8: an inpatient facility and told we can't help.
- 2:01:54Speaker 16: You.
- 2:01:55Speaker 25: Yeah.
- 2:01:55Speaker 8: It's bad.
- 2:01:56Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, a lot of those medications have serious
- 2:01:59Speaker 2: side effects, I would agree.
- 2:02:00Speaker 10: Yes.
- 2:02:01Speaker 8: And they gave that woman a cocktail of meds that
- 2:02:04Speaker 8: drove her nuts.
- 2:02:06Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean that there isn't a price to
- 2:02:08Speaker 2: be paid despite that.
- 2:02:09Speaker 8: No, no, there's a price. She killed her kid. My goodness.
- 2:02:13Speaker 2: Right. But it also means the doctor that did that
- 2:02:17Speaker 2: should be looked into as well.
- 2:02:20Speaker 9: Thank you.
- 2:02:20Speaker 8: I thought of that a long time ago. And when
- 2:02:23Speaker 8: I started listening to this trial, we think a lot alike.
- 2:02:25Speaker 8: You know, I don't know if that's good or bad,
- 2:02:26Speaker 8: but we think a lot alike. I thought to myself,
- 2:02:28Speaker 8: that's malpractice what they did to this woman. Now, I
- 2:02:31Speaker 8: know there are civil suits, but I don't know what
- 2:02:32Speaker 8: direction those.
- 2:02:33Speaker 2: Civil suits are going. A lot of those psych drugs
- 2:02:35Speaker 2: have serious, serious side effects that can lead to suicide
- 2:02:38Speaker 2: and crazy thoughts.
- 2:02:40Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:02:40Speaker 8: And if you know what's really sad, she called a
- 2:02:42Speaker 8: suicide hotline twice. So we can't help it.
- 2:02:47Speaker 2: I can't even imagine how that would be the case. Yeah.
- 2:02:51Speaker 3: All right.
- 2:02:53Speaker 8: Enjoy.
- 2:02:53Speaker 10: Hey, Ron.
- 2:02:54Speaker 8: I got to go.
- 2:02:57Speaker 2: You're on the air. Hello.
- 2:02:59Speaker 8: Hey, Ron.
- 2:03:00Speaker 4: I apologize for my last call in. Didn't mean to swear,
- 2:03:04Speaker 4: but I promise you one thing I won't do this time.
- 2:03:07Speaker 2: All right.
- 2:03:10Speaker 4: Brother, I love you. But I'm telling you something. That woman,
- 2:03:15Speaker 4: if she was in that much derangement and.
- 2:03:20Speaker 4: On all those medications. She was able to save her
- 2:03:25Speaker 4: own life, but she took out three innocent little babies.
- 2:03:29Speaker 2: Well, supposedly that's why she jumped out of the second-story window,
- 2:03:33Speaker 2: thinking it would kill her, and it did not.
- 2:03:36Speaker 4: Anybody can jump out of a second-story window to save
- 2:03:38Speaker 4: their life from a burning fire, and they've survived.
- 2:03:42Speaker 2: But I don't know that she knows that. I did
- 2:03:45Speaker 2: not watch a trial like Ted just described. I didn't know.
- 2:03:48Speaker 2: I didn't watch it. I didn't know that she was
- 2:03:50Speaker 2: on all these meds. A lot of those meds do
- 2:03:52Speaker 2: have side effects, and I didn't know that she had
- 2:03:55Speaker 2: some of the issues that they have. There is mental illness.
- 2:04:00Speaker 2: Make no mistake.
- 2:04:00Speaker 1: It is a real thing. No, no, no, no.
- 2:04:02Speaker 4: I totally get that.
- 2:04:04Speaker 7: The part about her being.
- 2:04:07Speaker 4: Postpartum depression and being able to take out her own
- 2:04:13Speaker 4: little siblings, her children, or not siblings, but her children,
- 2:04:17Speaker 4: and her husband be on some tangent for whatever, what
- 2:04:22Speaker 4: part did he play in it? And the doctor should
- 2:04:25Speaker 4: be held accountable for the drugs that she was on
- 2:04:29Speaker 4: based on her ability to function within her own family
- 2:04:34Speaker 4: every day, cooking eggs, making lunch, and doing dinner. I
- 2:04:39Speaker 4: don't get it. She should be prosecuted for the full
- 2:04:43Speaker 4: extent of the law for what she did.
- 2:04:45Speaker 2: Right, but I mean.
- 2:04:47Speaker 4: You know that 25% of the people that are there
- 2:04:50Speaker 4: supporting her are the ones that advocate for abortion.
- 2:04:57Speaker 2: It says she also slid her wrist and neck before
- 2:05:00Speaker 2: jumping out the window. So obviously she was trying to
- 2:05:03Speaker 2: commit suicide and she killed her kids. There's some mental
- 2:05:07Speaker 2: illness problems here. Obviously, I'm not saying that needs to
- 2:05:12Speaker 2: be addressed. And there has to be, obviously, punishment and
- 2:05:15Speaker 2: jail involved in all of this. I don't disagree with
- 2:05:18Speaker 2: any of that. But I also think this doctor should
- 2:05:21Speaker 2: be looked into.
- 2:05:22Speaker 9: Absolutely.
- 2:05:24Speaker 4: And I think that we should look even further more
- 2:05:28Speaker 4: into if she's been jabbed, if she's been so many
- 2:05:33Speaker 4: other things that our media will not address. But this
- 2:05:41Speaker 4: lady may have been through... some demonic interpretation of life
- 2:05:48Speaker 4: and existence to take out her own children?
- 2:05:50Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 2:05:50Speaker 4: Why didn't she just take herself out instead?
- 2:05:53Speaker 1: Leave the kids alone.
- 2:05:55Speaker 2: Obviously, she has some mental illness. All right. I appreciate
- 2:06:00Speaker 2: your call. You're on the air.
- 2:06:02Speaker 10: Ron.
- 2:06:04Speaker 2: Yes.
- 2:06:04Speaker 12: What am I going to do when you're off the air?
- 2:06:08Speaker 12: What am I going to do?
- 2:06:09Speaker 2: I don't know. Your life, as you know, would be
- 2:06:12Speaker 2: probably not the same.
- 2:06:15Speaker 12: I'm just listening to you, giving these people advice about
- 2:06:19Speaker 12: marriage and stuff, and you've never been out here in
- 2:06:22Speaker 12: the world like that, man, so you don't understand. You know,
- 2:06:26Speaker 12: my man's wife wasn't no angel.
- 2:06:29Speaker 2: Who? Whose wife?
- 2:06:30Speaker 12: The guy who was cheating on his wife. She wasn't
- 2:06:34Speaker 12: no angel.
- 2:06:37Speaker 2: Well, you don't know that. You don't know that.
- 2:06:39Speaker 12: I do know that. Some of my boys back in
- 2:06:42Speaker 12: the day, they played football.
- 2:06:43Speaker 2: They told me. I'm not going to allow that on here.
- 2:06:48Speaker 2: You're on the air.
- 2:06:50Speaker 7: I can understand how there is mental illness in this country.
- 2:06:54Speaker 7: I listen to phone calls, including mine.
- 2:06:56Speaker 25: I don't know.
- 2:07:05Speaker 7: I know that I'm mentally ill, but, and oh, by the.
- 2:07:07Speaker 4: Way, I wanted to let you know that my wife,
- 2:07:10Speaker 4: for her to marry, she lost the bet. That was
- 2:07:13Speaker 4: the thing.
- 2:07:13Speaker 15: She lost the bet.
- 2:07:14Speaker 7: So she, but at least I give her credit that she.
- 2:07:17Speaker 15: Fulfilled her, you know, fulfilled the obligation and the bet
- 2:07:20Speaker 15: she lost to not feel bad. And so she tries to.
- 2:07:22Speaker 7: Make the best of it. But, you know, I'm the.
- 2:07:26Speaker 15: One that's lucky. I'm surprised she hasn't jumped out a
- 2:07:28Speaker 15: window yet. I've been wondering that she always wants to
- 2:07:32Speaker 15: push the bed toward the window. I don't know if
- 2:07:33Speaker 15: she wants to throw me out or she wants to jump.
- 2:07:35Speaker 15: But anyway, I just said to throw my two and
- 2:07:41Speaker 15: a half cents in and have a great weekend, my friend.
- 2:07:44Speaker 2: Thank you. He's on a roll. J.J. the Trumpster, formerly
- 2:07:49Speaker 2: known as J.J. the Liberal. You're on the air.
- 2:07:54Speaker 12: Ronnie.
- 2:07:55Speaker 20: Vincent.
- 2:07:59Speaker 22: You know, Ronnie, to show you, I hope the pharmacist
- 2:08:03Speaker 22: is listening. The inflation went from this. 1987 was the
- 2:08:10Speaker 22: first tour championship on PGA Tour. They played for, at
- 2:08:14Speaker 22: that time, a record $ 500, 000.
- 2:08:15Speaker 21: A record.
- 2:08:20Speaker 22: You know what they're playing for on Sunday, the winner
- 2:08:22Speaker 22: gets at the Tour Championship?
- 2:08:26Speaker 4: $ 15 million.
- 2:08:27Speaker 2: Wow.
- 2:08:28Speaker 22: Nicholas, in 26 years on the PGA and the Senior,
- 2:08:32Speaker 22: now the Champions Tour, he played 26 years on professional golf.
- 2:08:37Speaker 22: His total that he won was $ 16 million. That's how
- 2:08:42Speaker 22: the inflation, you just have to look at that.
- 2:08:46Speaker 1: Wow.
- 2:08:47Speaker 2: So.
- 2:08:48Speaker 22: take that in mind. And here's another thing. Why are
- 2:08:51Speaker 22: these people moaning and groaning about YSU last night?
- 2:08:56Speaker 27: You did what.
- 2:08:56Speaker 22: They wanted to do. They wanted to pummel that team
- 2:08:59Speaker 22: so that the kids could get it the kids that
- 2:09:02Speaker 22: are second and third teamers like you used to play,
- 2:09:04Speaker 22: to get in the game. Right.
- 2:09:07Speaker 2: Guys like me got sick and tired of sitting on
- 2:09:09Speaker 2: the bench. Of course, it was a great seat to
- 2:09:12Speaker 2: watch the game. I mean, listen, and I remind you
- 2:09:16Speaker 2: of this, Mr. Smart Arse, not everybody, and you hear me,
- 2:09:20Speaker 2: and hear me loud and proud, could throw a 24-mile-per-hour fastball.
- 2:09:24Speaker 2: You understand me?
- 2:09:26Speaker 22: The bees, when they used to go buzz. Put in Burr.
- 2:09:30Speaker 22: Put in Burr. But Coach Doug and the Fighting Penguins,
- 2:09:38Speaker 22: you know, that's what he's supposed to do. Put the
- 2:09:39Speaker 22: second and third team in there. Let them get the
- 2:09:42Speaker 22: field and taste the victory. I mean, run up the score.
- 2:09:44Speaker 22: It was Mercyhurst. Next week, they play Kentucky. I hope
- 2:09:48Speaker 22: we don't hurt our Brumgaard quarterback. I mean, I hope
- 2:09:52Speaker 22: he wins that Walter Payton Award again this year.
- 2:09:55Speaker 2: He is really something. Now, here's somebody that could have
- 2:09:58Speaker 2: went somewhere else and made a bunch of money based
- 2:10:01Speaker 2: on this NIL, but because he loves the community and
- 2:10:05Speaker 2: his heritage here, he gave up substantial money to stay
- 2:10:08Speaker 2: here and to be at YSU. That's admirable.
- 2:10:12Speaker 22: That's really good. And thank goodness that he stayed and
- 2:10:16Speaker 22: kept Coach Doug's job safe.
- 2:10:19Speaker 21: Right.
- 2:10:19Speaker 4: The other thing.
- 2:10:20Speaker 22: The other thing, too, that lady should have heard at
- 2:10:23Speaker 22: the beginning of your career program. She would have listened
- 2:10:28Speaker 22: to your programs when you first got here versus the
- 2:10:32Speaker 22: quality of the programs today.
- 2:10:36Speaker 2: What are you saying? What are you saying?
- 2:10:38Speaker 22: Six and one-half thousand on the other.
- 2:10:41Speaker 2: I don't understand. What are you implying?
- 2:10:50Speaker 22: How come when you came here, Ronnie, your hair was
- 2:10:53Speaker 22: that sandy color hair. Now your hair almost matches my hair.
- 2:10:58Speaker 22: It's only.
- 2:11:01Speaker 2: A few dark. Thanks for that, Vince. You make me
- 2:11:03Speaker 2: feel special. We'll come back with more. Stay tuned.

- 2:11:14Speaker 26: The grandmother facing charges in the Vinton County child endangerment
- 2:11:17Speaker 26: case is asking for another bond hearing. Christina Siders' attorneys
- 2:11:20Speaker 26: say her $ 300, 000 bond is excessive, pointing to her age,
- 2:11:24Speaker 26: health concerns, and a lack of criminal record. Siders is
- 2:11:27Speaker 26: one of four family members indicted after 16 children were
- 2:11:29Speaker 26: found living in what authorities described as deplorable conditions at
- 2:11:32Speaker 26: a Hamden home. The four family members have also been
- 2:11:35Speaker 26: ordered to undergo competency evaluations. And in the meantime, a
- 2:11:38Speaker 26: Columbus woman has been arrested nearly two years after police
- 2:11:41Speaker 26: issued a warrant in connection with a 2023 shooting at
- 2:11:44Speaker 26: a North Columbus grocery store. Kamiya Gibson is accused of
- 2:11:47Speaker 26: shooting Saquala Clark inside a Giant Eagle on Stelzer Road
- 2:11:50Speaker 26: before fleeing the scene. Clark, who was taken to the
- 2:11:53Speaker 26: hospital in stable condition, identified Gibson as the shooter and
- 2:11:56Speaker 26: later confirmed her identity in a police photo lineup. Gibson
- 2:11:59Speaker 26: was arraigned Friday with a preliminary hearing scheduled for September 4th.

- 2:13:02Speaker 2: 9-11 mastermind. One of the headlines today. So what is
- 2:13:07Speaker 2: that all about, you say? What could that be about?
- 2:13:11Speaker 2: That's the headline. Bombshell ruling in case against alleged. Judge
- 2:13:15Speaker 2: throws out Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's 9-11 confession in already long
- 2:13:20Speaker 2: wait for trial. A military judge today threw out a
- 2:13:26Speaker 2: confession made by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed the alleged mastermind of
- 2:13:30Speaker 2: the September 11th terror attacks. In his ruling, military judge,
- 2:13:35Speaker 2: Lieutenant Colonel Michael Sharama, wrote that statements made by Mohammed
- 2:13:41Speaker 2: to investigators in 07 were not given voluntarily, the New
- 2:13:45Speaker 2: York Post reports. This is the guy that would look
- 2:13:50Speaker 2: like Ron Jeremy, the porn star. The ruling could complicate
- 2:13:55Speaker 2: what has already been a decade-long wait for the suspected
- 2:14:00Speaker 2: plotter to stand trial. The ruling could complicate what has
- 2:14:03Speaker 2: already been a decades-long wait for this guy to stand trial.
- 2:14:08Speaker 2: Did you hear what I said? Decades. The move wasn't
- 2:14:12Speaker 2: initially made public, but sources familiar with its content told
- 2:14:15Speaker 2: the newspaper that the judge had axed Muhammad's confession from
- 2:14:19Speaker 2: the case in the ruling earlier this week. Just days
- 2:14:22Speaker 2: before the 25th anniversary of the deadly attack that killed
- 2:14:25Speaker 2: nearly 3,000 people, Sharama set a trial date of June
- 2:14:30Speaker 2: 2028 for Mohammed and three co-defendants. Sharama rejected a request
- 2:14:38Speaker 2: by prosecutors to open a trial in January 2027, saying
- 2:14:42Speaker 2: it would leave too little time for the resolution of
- 2:14:45Speaker 2: pretrial evidentiary and compliance motions. Sharama's latest ruling threatens to
- 2:14:53Speaker 2: further delay the case, which has been plagued by postponements
- 2:14:56Speaker 2: and failed efforts to secure a plea agreement. In 2024,
- 2:15:00Speaker 2: Mohammed and these other guys that were involved in admitted
- 2:15:04Speaker 2: to their roles in a terror attack in exchange for
- 2:15:06Speaker 2: serving life sentences and avoiding the death penalty. They're all
- 2:15:09Speaker 2: being held in a U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
- 2:15:17Speaker 2: Criticism of the plea deal from many families of the
- 2:15:19Speaker 2: victims is The Biden administration withdrew the agreement, resulting in
- 2:15:23Speaker 2: more litigation. In addition to avoiding a death penalty, it
- 2:15:26Speaker 2: stipulated that men answer any questions the families of the
- 2:15:29Speaker 2: victims have about the attack. All right, so that's kind
- 2:15:34Speaker 2: of bad news, I suppose. TV reporter films encampment outside
- 2:15:40Speaker 2: her own son's college housing and viral post. Lindsay Clancy's
- 2:15:44Speaker 2: attorney makes candid admission after jury leaves without a verdict.
- 2:15:48Speaker 2: What could that be? The jury enters second day weighing
- 2:15:52Speaker 2: if psychosis drove killing of children. Nervous, scared, beat down,
- 2:15:58Speaker 2: Lindsey Clasey awaits jury's verdict after a five-week trial. Speaking
- 2:16:03Speaker 2: outside court, Lindsey Clasey's attorney told a swarm of media
- 2:16:07Speaker 2: that he could not predict how long jurors would take
- 2:16:09Speaker 2: to reach a verdict in the murder trial. The five-week
- 2:16:11Speaker 2: proceeding included roughly 290 pieces of evidence, he told reporters,
- 2:16:16Speaker 2: asking whether he felt confident. I'm never confident, adding that
- 2:16:19Speaker 2: he had no idea what the jury would do. Now,
- 2:16:21Speaker 2: there's an honest attorney and an honest answer. They worked hard,
- 2:16:25Speaker 2: it's been a long trial, and I have faith in
- 2:16:26Speaker 2: the jury system. The attorney also asked how Clancy was
- 2:16:31Speaker 2: feeling as she headed into the weekend. Nervous, scared, beat
- 2:16:35Speaker 2: down as usual. Lindsay Clancy jury scrutinizes pill bottles as
- 2:16:45Speaker 2: medical expert questions Medication defense. Prescription drug evidence received fresh
- 2:16:53Speaker 2: attention in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial after jurors asked
- 2:16:56Speaker 2: to review pill bottles during deliberations. Dr. Mark Siegel, Fox
- 2:17:00Speaker 2: News senior medical analyst, said the request puts the sharply
- 2:17:05Speaker 2: disputed medication issue back in focus. Clancy's defense has argued
- 2:17:09Speaker 2: that a complex medication regime contributed to her mental decline. Well,
- 2:17:14Speaker 2: prosecutors have argued that the drugs she took did not
- 2:17:17Speaker 2: cause postpartum psychosis. Siegel said many of the prescription bottles
- 2:17:22Speaker 2: collected in a case were unopened and that Clancy was
- 2:17:25Speaker 2: taking a smaller number of the medications at the time
- 2:17:28Speaker 2: of the killings. He said only a few of those
- 2:17:31Speaker 2: drugs could even conceivably trigger psychosis and that there was
- 2:17:35Speaker 2: no direct evidence the medications did so here. I don't
- 2:17:40Speaker 2: see any direct evidence that the pills were causing it,
- 2:17:42Speaker 2: Siegel said. The jury also asked to see the knife
- 2:17:48Speaker 2: used during Clancy's suicide attempt. Fox News contributor Joshua Ritter
- 2:17:53Speaker 2: said the request could indicate jurors are examining the prosecution's
- 2:17:57Speaker 2: argument that Clancy's wounds were superficial and that she had
- 2:18:01Speaker 2: an internal conflict about whether she wanted to die. Clancy
- 2:18:05Speaker 2: faces three counts of first-degree murder and the death of
- 2:18:07Speaker 2: her children. How you could do that? She does not
- 2:18:11Speaker 2: dispute killing them, but says she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.
- 2:18:16Speaker 2: You have to be suffering from something to do that.
- 2:18:19Speaker 2: Would you not agree? I mean, you can't be in
- 2:18:20Speaker 2: your right mind to do something like that. You got
- 2:18:25Speaker 2: to be. Something's got to be weird. Jelly Roll reveals
- 2:18:28Speaker 2: where he stands politically after Trump jokes spark backlash. Like
- 2:18:33Speaker 2: I should care what Jelly Roll thinks about anything. You're
- 2:18:37Speaker 2: on the air.
- 2:18:38Speaker 27: Well, I underestimate him. Could you believe the third stringer
- 2:18:42Speaker 27: won the game? How about that?
- 2:18:45Speaker 2: I don't get excited about preseason games, though.
- 2:18:49Speaker 7: You don't?
- 2:18:50Speaker 2: No.
- 2:18:50Speaker 27: They put Gabriel in, and I can't believe the score.
- 2:18:55Speaker 7: It was 37-3.
- 2:18:55Speaker 27: Sheesh.
- 2:18:56Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 2:18:59Speaker 1: Well, you know.
- 2:19:00Speaker 2: Some people say he had an air of excitement about him, too,
- 2:19:04Speaker 2: to the game.
- 2:19:06Speaker 27: Well, one thing, the Guardians are still there, aren't they?
- 2:19:10Speaker 2: Yes, they are. I mean, yes, they are. It's kind
- 2:19:14Speaker 2: of exciting with the Guardians. I don't pay much attention.
- 2:19:18Speaker 2: It's Dick from Dayton. I don't pay much attention to
- 2:19:21Speaker 2: the preseason games. I mean, I confess I did listen
- 2:19:26Speaker 2: to it last night. I was listening to the postgame
- 2:19:29Speaker 2: show on the postgame show. But we carry the Browns
- 2:19:34Speaker 2: on CD 93.3 on the road this morning, Glory. We
- 2:19:38Speaker 2: carry the Browns on there, and I enjoy listening to it.
- 2:19:42Speaker 2: But it's the preseason. I just don't get excited about it.
- 2:19:46Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I get excited about. In my
- 2:19:48Speaker 2: neck of the woods, it was exciting to listen. I
- 2:19:51Speaker 2: enjoy listening to Bob Hanna do the play-by-play on the
- 2:19:54Speaker 2: YSU game that we carried yesterday as we start our season.
- 2:19:58Speaker 2: I mean, so it was good to hear his voice
- 2:20:01Speaker 2: and good to listen to that game. And great to
- 2:20:04Speaker 2: have a victory.
- 2:20:05Speaker 27: He was like the new Browns announcer. He's pretty good,
- 2:20:07Speaker 27: isn't he?
- 2:20:08Speaker 2: What's his name?
- 2:20:09Speaker 7: Andrew Siciliano.
- 2:20:10Speaker 2: He worked at Fox Sports. Yeah, yeah. He's a guy
- 2:20:13Speaker 2: from last year. I can never remember his name.
- 2:20:15Speaker 27: He's pretty good, isn't he?
- 2:20:16Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he is pretty good. You can't—they're all unique.
- 2:20:20Speaker 2: Gibb Shanley was unique. Yep. Nev Chandler was unique. Yep.
- 2:20:26Speaker 2: Who was the guy— J.C.
- 2:20:28Speaker 21: Coleman.
- 2:20:28Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. Who was the guy? Was it
- 2:20:31Speaker 2: Jim Mueller?
- 2:20:32Speaker 12: Jim Mueller.
- 2:20:33Speaker 21: Did you like him?
- 2:20:34Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 2:20:34Speaker 2: I mean, they all— I thought they were all really good. Yeah.
- 2:20:38Speaker 2: I thought Gibb Shanley was excellent. I thought Jim Mueller
- 2:20:41Speaker 2: was good. Nev Chandler was good. Oh, yeah. I thought....
- 2:20:47Speaker 27: Did you like Jimmy Donovan?
- 2:20:49Speaker 2: I thought he was outstanding.
- 2:20:51Speaker 27: He was pretty good, wasn't he?
- 2:20:52Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought he was outstanding. And this guy, to me,
- 2:20:56Speaker 2: has Jimmy Donovan-like qualities, but not to that level. But
- 2:21:02Speaker 2: there was something about the connection. When you ask that,
- 2:21:04Speaker 2: there's something about the connection between the TV sports anchor
- 2:21:10Speaker 2: and the play-by-play for the Browns that for some reason
- 2:21:14Speaker 2: made it special. This guy that you're mentioning was not
- 2:21:17Speaker 2: a local TV news sports anchor. He was on Fox.
- 2:21:23Speaker 2: So you lose that connection.
- 2:21:25Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 2:21:25Speaker 27: Of course, you know somebody else is a legend. Tom
- 2:21:28Speaker 27: Hamilton's number one, isn't he?
- 2:21:30Speaker 5: Yes, he is.
- 2:21:31Speaker 2: But I will tell you this much when you bring
- 2:21:33Speaker 2: that up. Yeah? I hear these people have bellyache when
- 2:21:37Speaker 2: Rosie does the games because Tom might not be– It
- 2:21:40Speaker 2: might be going to the West Coast games. I enjoy
- 2:21:43Speaker 2: listening to Rosie call a game, too. I think Rosie
- 2:21:46Speaker 2: calls a good game. I enjoy listening to him.
- 2:21:49Speaker 27: Yeah, but you know, one of the guys, he was
- 2:21:52Speaker 27: doing part-time work at WTAM, and a lot of people
- 2:21:55Speaker 27: didn't like him. But I got Chuck Galetti always took
- 2:21:59Speaker 27: my calls, you know?
- 2:22:00Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm just talking about these guys. I mean,
- 2:22:04Speaker 2: it seems to me that... We've had a lot of
- 2:22:07Speaker 2: good Browns play-by-play guys. This guy I've gotten used to.
- 2:22:11Speaker 2: I think that he'll do a good job going on.
- 2:22:15Speaker 2: I just hope the Browns have a good year for
- 2:22:18Speaker 2: a change.
- 2:22:19Speaker 27: Yeah, it'd be nice, but I think the Indians, the
- 2:22:22Speaker 27: Guardians have to be commended for what they're doing, aren't they?
- 2:22:26Speaker 2: Well, we shall see. I mean, I hate to be
- 2:22:30Speaker 2: too optimistic, but I mean, things have been going better
- 2:22:33Speaker 2: than they were for a while back. Let's put it
- 2:22:35Speaker 2: that way. I mean, How can you not root for
- 2:22:37Speaker 2: the Guardians? And frankly, even for the Browns, even though
- 2:22:42Speaker 2: they've disappointed me for decades. Yeah.
- 2:22:45Speaker 27: Have a good day.
- 2:22:46Speaker 2: Thank you. It's Dick from Dayton Newsradio. Making his final
- 2:22:50Speaker 2: appearance as a guest host to Jimmy Kimmel Live Thursday night,
- 2:22:54Speaker 2: country music star Jelly Roll walked back his previous assertions
- 2:23:02Speaker 2: that he is apolitical just days after mocking President Donald
- 2:23:06Speaker 2: Trump's weight, physical fitness, and approval ratings. A lot of
- 2:23:10Speaker 2: people seem to think these Jimmy Kimmel writers have secretly
- 2:23:14Speaker 2: been pulling the strings and forcing this good old country
- 2:23:17Speaker 2: boy to poke fun at our commander-in-chief, Jelly Roll told
- 2:23:21Speaker 2: the audience. But let's be real about this, you all.
- 2:23:24Speaker 2: Do you think I would take orders from some sweaty
- 2:23:27Speaker 2: little dork named Josh? No, I wasn't telling it like
- 2:23:32Speaker 2: it is. And for some reason, that seems to freak
- 2:23:35Speaker 2: a lot of people out. I guess now that I've
- 2:23:38Speaker 2: lost all this weight, folks can finally see I have
- 2:23:42Speaker 2: his manhood. Country music star continued, adding, It is funny
- 2:23:46Speaker 2: that before this week, everybody thought I was MAGA, and
- 2:23:49Speaker 2: now they think I'm some sort of liberal snowflake. He
- 2:23:53Speaker 2: went on to walk the audience through his culture and
- 2:23:56Speaker 2: political evolution and push back on criticism of his celebration
- 2:24:01Speaker 2: of the UFC Freedom 250 event held at the White
- 2:24:04Speaker 2: House in June. using the event as a catalyst for
- 2:24:08Speaker 2: his message surrounding his political views. But just because I
- 2:24:11Speaker 2: watch a fight on TV doesn't mean I support everything
- 2:24:14Speaker 2: this administration does, Jelly Roll said. Just like hosting Jimmy
- 2:24:19Speaker 2: Kimmel's show doesn't mean I have all of Jimmy Kimmel's politics. Sure,
- 2:24:25Speaker 2: I lean left on some things, but like most folks,
- 2:24:28Speaker 2: I'm pretty down the middle. I'm a Christian. I'm a
- 2:24:31Speaker 2: country music singer. I'm a farmer. I'm a bow hunter.
- 2:24:35Speaker 2: And most of the things I eat, I prefer to
- 2:24:37Speaker 2: get with a stick and a string. That's the truth.
- 2:24:41Speaker 2: He concluded this segment of his monologue by joking about
- 2:24:43Speaker 2: his newfound friendship with Kimmel's crew, adding, and I truly
- 2:24:48Speaker 2: am going to miss all of my communist Antifa friends
- 2:24:53Speaker 2: here on the staff of the Jimmy Kimmel show. So
- 2:24:59Speaker 2: I don't know. Don't you think as a performer sometimes?
- 2:25:02Speaker 2: Here's a great thing about Dolly Parton. Dolly Parton never
- 2:25:04Speaker 2: mixed politics with anything she was doing. Dolly Parton was
- 2:25:09Speaker 2: there to entertain everybody who showed up and bought a ticket.
- 2:25:14Speaker 2: That's what Dolly Parton did. And these people that want
- 2:25:21Speaker 2: to put politics into their show, they're entertainers. Like Bruce Springsteen,
- 2:25:26Speaker 2: you're just pissing off a lot of your audience with
- 2:25:28Speaker 2: your leftist politics. Why don't you just shut up? Show up,
- 2:25:34Speaker 2: sing and entertain people and leave. That's really what you
- 2:25:37Speaker 2: should be doing. It's the lessons of the great singers
- 2:25:41Speaker 2: like Dolly Parton. Who was it? Who was the group
- 2:25:47Speaker 2: that said nasty things about Bush when he was president?
- 2:25:52Speaker 2: And it's They were country singers and it really devastated
- 2:25:55Speaker 2: their career. Was that the Dixie Chicks? Remember that? They
- 2:26:00Speaker 2: said nasty things about him and it was devastating. I mean,
- 2:26:05Speaker 2: people just didn't go for that at all. So sometimes
- 2:26:09Speaker 2: these people should maybe think twice about it. Maybe think
- 2:26:18Speaker 2: twice about it. Trump election fraud crackdown lands first arrest,
- 2:26:22Speaker 2: putting longtime critics in White House crosshairs. What's that all about?
- 2:26:27Speaker 2: The first arrest in what a Trump administration prosecutor says
- 2:26:31Speaker 2: will be a broader election fraud crackdown was announced Friday
- 2:26:35Speaker 2: in Los Angeles, and the White House seized on the
- 2:26:38Speaker 2: case to hit back at longtime critics. First assistant U.S.
- 2:26:42Speaker 2: attorney for the Central District of California announced a Honduran
- 2:26:47Speaker 2: national was charged with two felony counts, and could face
- 2:26:50Speaker 2: deportation if convicted while criticizing California's current voter registration safeguards
- 2:26:57Speaker 2: and renewing DOJ's demands for a voter roll audit. Today's
- 2:27:01Speaker 2: arrest is the first of many to come. Unfortunately, because
- 2:27:04Speaker 2: of states like California allowing non-citizens to easily register to
- 2:27:09Speaker 2: vote and receive a ballot by mail, there's no telling
- 2:27:11Speaker 2: how many non-citizens are currently registered to vote. We again
- 2:27:18Speaker 2: review our request that California immediately comply with our request
- 2:27:22Speaker 2: to audit their voter rolls so that all voters can
- 2:27:25Speaker 2: have confidence in our elections. Why would you be opposed
- 2:27:27Speaker 2: to that? Rivera Flores lives west of Van Nuys, was
- 2:27:36Speaker 2: charged with fraudulent voter registration and false claims. of U.S. citizenship.
- 2:27:41Speaker 2: He did not vote in an election, according to the DOJ.
- 2:27:46Speaker 2: Rivera Flores entered the U.S. during the George W. Bush
- 2:27:49Speaker 2: administration and was a green card holder but was not
- 2:27:52Speaker 2: a U.S. citizen. He was previously charged with misdemeanor for
- 2:27:56Speaker 2: disrupting immigration law enforcement operations. at a federal building in Carmela, California.
- 2:28:02Speaker 2: Riviera Flores also allegedly sent a Homeland Security investigation agent
- 2:28:06Speaker 2: a slew of text messages calling the officer not the
- 2:28:10Speaker 2: good guy and saying he could not wait until the
- 2:28:13Speaker 2: midterms because he believed the agent would not have qualified immunity,
- 2:28:18Speaker 2: legal protection that can shield law enforcement officers from certain
- 2:28:22Speaker 2: civil claims for their official conduct. Text messages between Rivera
- 2:28:28Speaker 2: Flores and the agent reviewed by Fox News show several
- 2:28:32Speaker 2: profane jabs directed at the officer. All right, so this guy,
- 2:28:37Speaker 2: why would you do that in the first place if
- 2:28:38Speaker 2: you're not an idiot? You'd be an idiot. The White
- 2:28:41Speaker 2: House says Rivera Flores' case indicates mainstream media and political
- 2:28:46Speaker 2: critics are off base in their countervailing reporting and allegations
- 2:28:49Speaker 2: about the existence of voter fraud. Despite the media and
- 2:28:52Speaker 2: Democrats claiming it never happens, The evidence of non-citizens registering
- 2:28:58Speaker 2: to vote in our elections continues to pile up. Any
- 2:29:02Speaker 2: non-citizen found registering to vote and voting in our elections
- 2:29:05Speaker 2: will be held accountable. Only Americans should be electing Americans leaders. Well,
- 2:29:10Speaker 2: who disagrees with that? I mean, I would agree with that,
- 2:29:15Speaker 2: wouldn't you? 100%? That makes a world of sense to me.
- 2:29:19Speaker 2: Why would you change the thought process on that at all?
- 2:29:29Speaker 2: What else do I have for you? It's a crazy
- 2:29:33Speaker 2: world these days. Crazy stuff going on, man. All right, calls? Well,
- 2:29:42Speaker 2: we'll take some. 330-729-9977 will get through to us.
- 2:29:43Speaker 8: 330-729-9977.
- 2:29:43Speaker 2: If you want to conversate here on NewsRadio 570, don't worry,
- 2:29:45Speaker 2: I'll give you in. I'm just looking over the headline
- 2:29:46Speaker 2: screen as it goes down. Give you the latest stuff.
- 2:30:01Speaker 2: Where did I leave off on this phone bank? That's
- 2:30:04Speaker 2: the problem. Why don't we just start at the top
- 2:30:07Speaker 2: of the phone bank and work our way down? You're
- 2:30:09Speaker 2: on the air.
- 2:30:11Speaker 22: Did anybody mention Charlie Pryde doing a duet?
- 2:30:20Speaker 2: Charlie Pryde. People don't even remember Charlie Pryde.
- 2:30:23Speaker 4: He was a superstar.
- 2:30:28Speaker 2: I know, but a lot of people, I know who
- 2:30:30Speaker 2: Charlie Pride is, but a lot of people listening have
- 2:30:32Speaker 2: no clue who Charlie Pride is. But the best thing
- 2:30:35Speaker 2: for a singer and entertainer to do is leave politics
- 2:30:37Speaker 2: out of your show. Why do you want to turn
- 2:30:40Speaker 2: half the audience off? Like, for example, in the good
- 2:30:44Speaker 2: old days, Johnny Carson, it wasn't, he didn't have a
- 2:30:47Speaker 2: political tilt to it. Letterman, Carson, Jay Leno. Those shows
- 2:30:53Speaker 2: are much different than these guys like Kimmel and the
- 2:30:57Speaker 2: shows that they're doing today. They just piss off half
- 2:31:00Speaker 2: the audience when people are looking for entertainment and comedy.
- 2:31:06Speaker 2: Why would you want to do such a thing? That's
- 2:31:08Speaker 2: why so many people don't watch them anymore.
- 2:31:10Speaker 12: Charlie, Charlie, Charlie.
- 2:31:12Speaker 2: I don't care about Charlie Pryde.
- 2:31:13Speaker 1: You're on the air.
- 2:31:17Speaker 2: Hello? Yes, go ahead.
- 2:31:18Speaker 33: Yeah. Robin Williams. I think came up with a great line.
- 2:31:25Speaker 33: This is a quote I have in print concerning the
- 2:31:30Speaker 33: East Palestine incident. Robin Williams said that God gave men
- 2:31:36Speaker 33: one penis and one brain, but only enough blood to
- 2:31:40Speaker 33: run one at a time.
- 2:31:42Speaker 2: That's true.
- 2:31:45Speaker 33: Now, I'm glad you laughed, Ron, because... It's funny, and
- 2:31:52Speaker 33: then you swallow, you gulp, and then you realize it
- 2:31:56Speaker 33: probably is a factor in almost any of these circumstances,
- 2:32:04Speaker 33: all the way up, sad to say, to rape. Williams
- 2:32:11Speaker 33: was like Colin. He could make you laugh. And then
- 2:32:15Speaker 33: when you left the theater all the way home, you
- 2:32:17Speaker 33: were thinking about some major idea. You know, the guy
- 2:32:21Speaker 33: became a philosopher and a poet. That's a profound sentence
- 2:32:27Speaker 33: to me after the initial laugh. And I just keep
- 2:32:33Speaker 33: thinking about that. All of the radio, TV, and newspaper
- 2:32:38Speaker 33: coverage of this situation in Palestine.
- 2:32:42Speaker 12: And....
- 2:32:43Speaker 33: I think Robin Williams was on to something.
- 2:32:46Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. You're talking about with York down
- 2:32:52Speaker 2: with the process.
- 2:32:54Speaker 33: Yeah, yeah. So at whatever level, I think it's, you know,
- 2:33:04Speaker 33: there's a lot of other factors in there. But that comment,
- 2:33:08Speaker 33: I think, Ron, is applicable here. Almost in every circumstance.
- 2:33:14Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 2:33:14Speaker 2: Yeah. But I mean, listen, I mean, the guy didn't
- 2:33:18Speaker 2: commit murder and the guy, I mean, it's, it's like, okay.
- 2:33:22Speaker 2: And he gets a slap on the wrist and he
- 2:33:24Speaker 2: gets embarrassed. Learn from it and, and, and learn from
- 2:33:29Speaker 2: it and, and get on with your life and live
- 2:33:31Speaker 2: a better life than, than don't make that mistake again.
- 2:33:35Speaker 2: It would be my advice to him. Put it behind you.
- 2:33:39Speaker 2: And the sun comes up tomorrow. And try to find
- 2:33:45Speaker 2: a better purpose, better meaning in your life than what
- 2:33:48Speaker 2: you were trying to do.
- 2:33:49Speaker 33: Yeah. As they say in lots of churches, amen, brother.
- 2:33:54Speaker 33: Thank you for the call.
- 2:33:55Speaker 2: Thank you. Appreciate it. That's what he, I mean, that's
- 2:33:58Speaker 2: really what he needs to do. And hopefully he will
- 2:34:04Speaker 2: do it. I mean, I don't know the guy. I've
- 2:34:06Speaker 2: never met the man, never talked to the guy or
- 2:34:08Speaker 2: anything like that, but... I mean, it's just bizarre. So,
- 2:34:13Speaker 2: I mean, the whole damn thing is just so weird.
- 2:34:18Speaker 2: It's just weird. And who knows why he got divorced
- 2:34:21Speaker 2: or what's going on there. But, I mean, if these
- 2:34:29Speaker 2: people don't know by now so many of these sting
- 2:34:31Speaker 2: operations that the cops are doing, and good Lord, it
- 2:34:34Speaker 2: happens all the damn time. I mean, these idiots are
- 2:34:39Speaker 2: constantly doing it. And do they not pay attention to
- 2:34:42Speaker 2: the news? And they get caught every time. Well, here's
- 2:34:47Speaker 2: this guy thinking what? He's going online for a prostitute?
- 2:34:52Speaker 2: You're driving down to East Palestine. You don't know who
- 2:34:54Speaker 2: you're meeting. You don't know how safe it is. I mean,
- 2:34:56Speaker 2: just think how stupid this is. How just stupid this is.
- 2:35:02Speaker 2: But I don't know. He couldn't be in his right
- 2:35:04Speaker 2: mind to be doing that at that time. Who knows
- 2:35:06Speaker 2: if he's depressed because of his divorce or whatever the
- 2:35:08Speaker 2: case might be. I mean, get your act together. Mend
- 2:35:13Speaker 2: your ways and try to go out and find a
- 2:35:15Speaker 2: good woman and get on and be a better man.
- 2:35:19Speaker 2: That would be my advice that I would give to
- 2:35:20Speaker 2: the guy. And I'm sure he's waiting for my advice.
- 2:35:24Speaker 2: You're on the air.
- 2:35:26Speaker 9: Hey, Ron, how are you doing this evening?
- 2:35:30Speaker 2: I am doing well. Thank you for asking.
- 2:35:34Speaker 9: Oh, anyhow, I want to go back to Bubba Ganoush
- 2:35:38Speaker 9: and talking about why they don't build an AI unit here.
- 2:35:44Speaker 9: The reason is, is because if you dig up all
- 2:35:46Speaker 9: that brine grime, dredge that river, you're going to bring
- 2:35:49Speaker 9: up all the pollution from the Industrial Revolution. And that's
- 2:35:55Speaker 9: the reason why they don't do it.
- 2:35:56Speaker 2: Oh, you're talking about when he's saying they should build
- 2:35:59Speaker 2: it down on Wilson Avenue and that kind of stuff
- 2:36:01Speaker 2: if they're.
- 2:36:01Speaker 16: Going to put it there.
- 2:36:02Speaker 21: Yeah, exactly.
- 2:36:02Speaker 9: Exactly. That whole property from the Industrial Revolution is so
- 2:36:06Speaker 9: full of pollution. I talk to people that I know
- 2:36:10Speaker 9: about it, and they're going, you've got to understand, it's
- 2:36:13Speaker 9: full of so much pollution. If you dredge the river
- 2:36:16Speaker 9: and you wanted to generate electricity and put electric turbines
- 2:36:20Speaker 9: in and everything else like this, it's because it's so
- 2:36:23Speaker 9: full of pollution. What do they call.
- 2:36:27Speaker 4: That in the.
- 2:36:30Speaker 9: You know, you dig this all up and do everything,
- 2:36:32Speaker 9: you got to get rid of the industrial waste and everything,
- 2:36:35Speaker 9: is far more expensive than building the plant.
- 2:36:41Speaker 5: Hmm.
- 2:36:42Speaker 2: Yeah, but shouldn't that have been done by now if
- 2:36:44Speaker 2: it wasn't?
- 2:36:45Speaker 9: No, it's never been done, not on the Mahoning River.
- 2:36:49Speaker 2: Wouldn't it have?
- 2:36:50Speaker 9: This is all the pollutants from the industrial revolution when
- 2:36:55Speaker 9: all the mills were down here and everything. The reason
- 2:36:57Speaker 9: that they don't do it And dredge it and everything
- 2:37:00Speaker 9: is because it'll bring all the bad chemicals and everything
- 2:37:05Speaker 9: else up and everything. I'm telling you the truth about this.
- 2:37:08Speaker 9: And that's the reason why they don't do it. If
- 2:37:14Speaker 9: you had to rebate that from the EPA, you're talking
- 2:37:18Speaker 9: billions of dollars to get rid of all the pollution
- 2:37:21Speaker 9: before you can actually use the property.
- 2:37:27Speaker 21: Well, I.
- 2:37:30Speaker 2: The people who polluted it, the problem I have with
- 2:37:33Speaker 2: these companies when they leave is they should be on
- 2:37:36Speaker 2: the hook for cleaning up the mess that they made.
- 2:37:39Speaker 9: Yeah, but they're long gone and done long ago.
- 2:37:43Speaker 2: Right.
- 2:37:43Speaker 9: When the steel industry died, back in the late 70s
- 2:37:47Speaker 9: and even before that. It's all gone. But it's so
- 2:37:50Speaker 9: polluted that if they disrupt that, they're going to cause
- 2:37:54Speaker 9: more pollution and chemical hazards. The abatement behind that is
- 2:38:00Speaker 9: more expensive than building on it.
- 2:38:03Speaker 2: All right, Tiger. Thank you. Appreciate it. You're on the air,
- 2:38:06Speaker 2: running out of time.
- 2:38:08Speaker 16: Yeah, California is not the only state that has a
- 2:38:10Speaker 16: problem with inactive voters. They just found something like... 875,000
- 2:38:15Speaker 16: ineligible or inactive voters on their voter rolls. And about
- 2:38:21Speaker 16: five years ago, they discovered a million and a half
- 2:38:25Speaker 16: ineligible people that moved, you know, people that died. You know,
- 2:38:29Speaker 16: they send you a guy on a card, you don't
- 2:38:31Speaker 16: mail it back. They should just purge you from the
- 2:38:33Speaker 16: voter roll. We had a problem. We lived in Ohio
- 2:38:36Speaker 16: a few years ago, and they sent us a voter card.
- 2:38:41Speaker 16: Somehow it got forwarded to Pennsylvania. We had to write
- 2:38:44Speaker 16: back and forth to him three times to get us
- 2:38:47Speaker 16: off the rolls in Ohio. You know, I had to
- 2:38:51Speaker 16: send him a copy of the deed, a copy of
- 2:38:55Speaker 16: the utility, and a copy of the, what do you
- 2:38:58Speaker 16: call it, the property tax form to them before they,
- 2:39:01Speaker 16: you know, would remove us from Ohio. So they're having
- 2:39:05Speaker 16: a lot of problem in not just California, but a
- 2:39:07Speaker 16: lot of states.
- 2:39:09Speaker 10: People are just.
- 2:39:10Speaker 16: there, and then they get cards, well, I haven't lived
- 2:39:13Speaker 16: here for five years, why am I getting a card?
- 2:39:15Speaker 16: Because they don't purge the voter roll.
- 2:39:17Speaker 1: Right.
- 2:39:19Speaker 16: And I think you and G2 should have an interesting
- 2:39:22Speaker 16: conversation about that, you know, about just how to purge,
- 2:39:26Speaker 16: you know, records of invalid information, like the government has.
- 2:39:32Speaker 16: You know, the government never throws anything away.
- 2:39:35Speaker 2: You are 100% correct. I suspect that there's Whenever you're
- 2:39:42Speaker 2: mailing out ballots to people who aren't asking for them,
- 2:39:45Speaker 2: it's just to open the fraud. Hey, I'm out of time.
- 2:39:48Speaker 2: I wish you would have called earlier. Thank you, my friends.
- 2:39:51Speaker 2: Have a great weekend. Ron Furt from the Kingdom of Mahoney.
- 2:39:53Speaker 2: Stay tuned. Sean's coming up, then the Guardians.
