  Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb on News Radio 570 WKBN. Why, it's
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: a lovely day to say the least. Welcome to Thursday,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: July 30th.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: One more day.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: It's the end of July. Already we'll be into August.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: And before long, the Canfield Fair will be here. And
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: then after that, it's all downhill. Fall is officially here,
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: at least in our neck of the woods, once the
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: fair comes to a conclusion at the end of August.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: But anyway, we are nearing the final day of the
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: month of July. 82 degrees. Sun is shining. It's a
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: lovely day in our neck of the woods. Just a
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: programming note. I will be on. Well, I'm going to
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: take tomorrow off. I'm going to take a day off
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: on Friday and I'm going to take Monday off as well.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: We'll return to the broadcast on Tuesday, August 4th.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: So we'll be off tomorrow, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, obviously, and Monday.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: So there you go. And returning on Tuesday, August 4th,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: just as a programming note so you know what's going on.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: All right? Just to keep you in the loop.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Sometimes your fearless leader needs to recharge your batteries, as
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: they say, and take a break once in a while.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: You're okay with that, right?
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. All right, so let's see what awaits me here.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: We have The Legal Show at 5 today, being Thursday.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: John Arnold at 6. And you're on the air.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Ron, good afternoon, sir.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: How are you? Ladies and gentlemen, it's Rich the Pharmacist.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I'm well, Rich. What's on your mind today?
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Well, I had to work yesterday. I worked a 12-hour
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: shift yesterday. So this morning when I get up and
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: I read the news, I put on your podcast, which
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: incidentally is a fantastic way. If you can't listen during
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: your program, the podcast is outstanding. And the best part
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: about it is, in my opinion, there's a little button
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: that lets you fast-forward at 30-second intervals. So when, like,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Frankie and I semi-gets on or JJ gets on, I
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: just keep hitting the 30-second button until they're gone.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Well, now... You know, that's not nice. All right.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Well, it's true, though. I mean, you know, there's people
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: I want to listen to and people I don't want
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: to listen to. You know, if there's somebody I don't like,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: people don't like me. But there's always a 30-second.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Button, so I'm gone. Well, there had to be callers
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: you liked, too, I hope, yesterday.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely. And two of them starting— the first hour was good.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: The second hour, the 4 o'clock hour, was outstanding because—
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: You had the boss lady on, and you had Denise,
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: the lady that's collecting all the signatures to get the
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: property tax repeal. And one of them had told me
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: they sent me the Poland Township trustee video, which I
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: think I forwarded to you.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: And if you start listening to that, how disturbing and
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: angry do you start getting at the fact that these
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: morons are running this township into the ground? I mean,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: I don't understand how you can be like, Eric, I'm here.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: It's been there, what, 12 years or something like that?
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: He's been there a long time. How do you let
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: the township get into the fiscal condition it's in where
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: you're not going to be able to make payroll the
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: first week of August, most likely? Right. But you went
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: out and bought a $ 75, 000 brand-new Chevy Tahoe, which you
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: then couldn't afford to equip, so now you've got to
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: sell it. I mean, it just gets me. It blows
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: my mind. how poorly run many of these places are. Now,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: that said, you know, I go to my, and this
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: is why, in all honesty, if people in this audience
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: do nothing else, at least once or twice a year,
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: if you live in a township, go to your trustees meetings,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: go to a school board meeting, go to a village
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: or city council meeting, or go on their website and
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: find out what's going on. Now, one of the things
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: that's bothering me is the Mahoning County Board of Developmental Disabilities,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: or basically Leonard Kurtz, and they take care of the
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: people that are mentally challenged, physically handicapped, things like that,
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: which I think.
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: All of us..
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Would agree. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: heartless soul in your listening audience that doesn't think that
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: as healthy, productive citizens, we have a duty to take
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: care of those less fortunate than us. Correct?
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: But you go onto their website. I've never been on
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: their website. So this morning, I'm messing around, and I
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: go on their website, and I start fooling around. And
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: they have something, it's a one, two, three, it's the
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: fourth item over on the head mask, the head part
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: of their website. It says supplemental trust services. And this
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: is something that they provide. It's a trust that has money,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: that had money. Now, it says right when you click
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: on that, please note funds have been exhausted and this
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: program is paused until, if and until more funds are
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: made available. And can I read you some of the
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: criteria and some of the supplemental services that this fund
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: provides for? Because I think people, before you just go
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: and say, oh, you know, these are unfortunate people. We
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: really need to just, because I think everybody when it
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: comes to these levies just says yes. Oh, it's for
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: the disabled. It's for, you know, bleeding heart. Just check yes.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: This fund is actually set up by the Ohio Revised Code,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Section 5815.28, which I have not gotten to yet. I
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: haven't had a chance to go to the ORC and
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: look that law up yet, but I plan to. But
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: this money, it says supplemental services which meet the criteria
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: outlined above may include but are not limited to, one,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: reimbursement for attendance or participation in recreational or cultural events. Two,
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: travel and vacations. Three, participation in hobbies, sports, or other activities.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: For items beyond necessary, food and clothing. Example, funds for
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: dining out occasionally, for special foods periodically delivered, or for
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: an article of clothing such as a coat which is
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: a quote extra, but which is desirable because it is
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: newer or more stylish. Cosmetic, extraordinary, experimental, or elective medical
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: or dental care. Visiting with friends or family. Exercise equipment
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: or special medical equipment. The difference in rent between a
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: shared bedroom and a private bedroom. equipment or services for
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: the individual's private use, such as telephones, smartphones, cable television, televisions, radios, cameras, computers,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: computer software, internet service, video recorders, and video games. Membership
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: in clubs or other organizations, such as book clubs, health clubs,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: community organizations.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: It goes on.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not going to take up time to
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: read all of them. There's 23 items. The 23 is
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: the last thing it says it pays for. This is wonderful.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Other expenditures used to provide dignity, purpose, optimism, and joy
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: to the beneficiary of a supplemental services trust. Sign me up.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: How do I become eligible so that I can get this?
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Because this is all stuff that the people in your
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: audience are paying taxes for To go out and provide,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: and none of this is required, in my opinion. You
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: disagree with me.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Now, who's the beneficiary of this stuff?
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: The beneficiary would be, I guess, the disabled person and
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: or their family.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: All right, and they are entitled, not entitled, they can
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: get all of this stuff paid for by someone else.
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: All right, and now is that.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Tax dollars or is that money that was set aside
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: by someone else?
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: It doesn't say that this is like donations, like, you know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Ron and Rich decide that we were going to write
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: a check for $ 100 to them so that they can
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: do this stuff. I would assume, I mean, and I
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: don't know this for a fact, but I would assume
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: that somehow our tax money, whether it's federal, state, local, whatever,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: you know, it's all our money in the end. But
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: somehow tax money is getting used to fund this. And
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: I don't mind. Like I've said, I 100% support helping
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: these people so that they can have some type of
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: a dignified life. But where do you draw the line
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: on this? This is why these NGOs are getting so big,
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: and this is why so many people... If you talk
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: to any teacher in the last 20, probably more than
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: 20 years... The increase in the number of students who
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: are getting what they call identified so that they can
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: get supplemental services is just astronomical. Everybody's trying to get
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: their kid. It's called an individual education plan, an education,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: an IEP. And the number of kids that are getting identified,
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: you know, that go out to one of my other
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: favorite organizations, Mahoney County Educational Service Center, That's the other organization,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: another county organization that just spends untold amount of our
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: money on a lot of things that, in my opinion,
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: are just nonsense. A lot of the stuff that is
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: supposedly educational is just ridiculous. And people in your audience
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: need to start going out and looking at some of
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: these organizations that your tax money is flowing into. Because
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: I went on Meacham's site today, and I looked. My
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: property value went from $ 411 to $ 491. It was a 20% increase,
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: which means thank you, Dave Thomas. I'm not going to
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: see that 20% increase on the main side millage. I'm
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: going to get whatever the inflation rate was last year.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: They'll be allowed to collect, and hopefully I can convince
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: my trustees and my school board not to take it.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: The chance I'm going to get the county... you know,
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Gino and the other two commissioners to say they're not
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: going to take the increase inside millage, good luck with that. Because,
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: you know, none of these organizations ever have enough of
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: your money.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: But I started looking at this, and I'm just like,
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: you know, and I believe somebody said on your program
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: that this particular organization went from, what, roughly a $ 60
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: million a year budget to now needing $ 100 million a year? Right.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Well, when you look at this supplemental trust service, it's
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: no wonder. You're buying cell phones and televisions and TV
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: subscriptions and coats. I mean, I'm sorry. At what point
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: do we as a taxpayer get to share in some
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: of the same services that these people get? Because you're
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: providing them with stuff that are, you know, are luxuries
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: for a lot of us vacations. I mean, at what
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: point do you, do you pay for a travel or
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: vacation for somebody that's getting public assistance? I just don't
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: understand it. And the more that I dig into government
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: and like I've told you, if this is how bad
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: you're getting screwed by these organizations at the local level,
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: can you imagine going down to Columbus and, Go down
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: to Washington, D.C. I can't even fathom it. It's why
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: we are $ 40 trillion and climbing in debt.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Well, we saw some of it with Elon Musk in
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: that Doge program, but they ran him out of town
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: and they stopped that, obviously.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: And that's the problem. I think, like, G2, your program
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: yesterday was outstanding, by the way. It was, I mean,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: it was between... Boss Lady, Denise, G2, and I think
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: it was G2 that said something like, it was talking
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: about the growth of these programs, but if you go
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: after them, if you're somebody like us that says, hey,
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: why are we paying for vacations? Why are we using
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: taxpayer money to provide vacations to people? All of a sudden,
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: or if you're going after, we need to cut jobs.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: This place is fat. The payroll here is way, way
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: out of line. We need to cut jobs. You become
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: enemy number one. And I can tell you that because
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: go to a school board meeting and start saying you
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: have too many employees. You will be called everything but
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: a responsible citizen. And they will come after you because
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: I've done it. Believe me. They will come after you,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: and they will come.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: After your family.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Right. Here's the reality. There's no end in sight to this.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: That's why I say they will not be happy until
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: they have all of your money. I mean, until they
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: have all of your money, it will never be enough.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: So your only answer, and I do mean your only answer,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: is sign those petitions that Denise has out there. Get
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: that constitutional amendment on the ballots to do away with
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: property taxes. Because if you don't, You will be priced
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: out of your home.
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: It's just a matter of time.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Whether as you get older and retire, you'll be priced
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: out of it, or you'll be priced out of it
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: during your working years when the taxes continue to go
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: up beyond the rate of inflation, and you'll be priced
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: out of it. I'm just telling you right now, pay
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: attention to this stuff. The more money they get, the
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: more they spend, the more they grow. You don't hear
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: about cuts. You don't hear about turning it down. You
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: don't hear the DeSantis mentality in Florida. We're spending less
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: this year than we did last year. And we spent
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: less last year than we did the year before that.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: You don't hear that mentality here in Mahoning County. You
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: hear more money, more government, more programs, less for you.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: That's what you have.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we need to go wreck a perfectly good building
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: in downtown Youngstown and build a new $ 60 million county
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: Taj Mahal.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: And were you asked about it? Was your input important?
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: You'll get the bonds. You'll get the bill for that facility,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: but you have no input in it. No input whatsoever
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: as far as the crazy location, the parking, and the
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: nonsense that's going on. But, you know, Gino was more
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: interested in that facility than he was in doing stuff
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: for the average taxpayer. I mean, he ran as a Republican,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: but his main agenda all had to do with the
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: old Southside Hospital. And so he put the county in debt.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: And if you vote him out of office, you'll still
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: be stuck with that building and that debt without having
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: a single say so on it. Bad location, bad investments,
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: bad idea, period. But you don't have a say so.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Shut up.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Here's the bill.
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: Pay the bonds.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: See you later.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: And you can go, if you go look up your
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: property tax on the auditor's website, it breaks it down.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: If you scroll down, it breaks it down and shows
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: you where all your money goes. The schools get the overwhelming.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: The schools, like in my case, my Beaver Township, gets
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: the overwhelming, probably 70% of it. But one of the
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: things that's on there is county bond retirement. So what
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: do you think happens when they build the $ 60 million
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: Mahoning Taj Mahal? What do you think is going to
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: happen to the county bond retirement? Is it going to
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: need more or less of our tax money for county
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: bond retirement?
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: There's a lot more of our money. And here's the
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: other thing. This is the canary in the coal mine.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: If you look over the last several months, I think
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Boardman Township, Poland Township, Canfield School District, you're starting to
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: see all these little local fiefdoms say, we are running
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: out of money. We need to put a new levy on.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Canfield's asking for one. Boardman's asking for one. Poland, I think,
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: is late. I don't even think, like Denise said yesterday,
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: I don't even think they're going to be able to
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: make it because they don't have enough time to get one.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Stand by for one minute. Back with Rich and more
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: of your calls ahead. Well, I've told you many times,
• 15:36

  Speaker 3: I scroll to the bottom, as.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: You say, right?
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: Pick up your property.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: And it shows you where all your taxes go.
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's it.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: There's a breakdown.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Total for Verb Manor, $ 4, 764.
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: $ 4, 764.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: I'm around $ 7, 200, I believe. Yeah, $ 4, 764, which is ridiculous.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Let's see, the schools get $ 2, 311 a year from me. Yeah,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: the township gets $ 1, 451 a year from me. The metro
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: parks get $ 105 a year from me. The children's services
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: get $ 215. Developmental disabilities, $ 221.
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: The library, $ 135.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Mental health, $ 75.
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: The TB, $ 2.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: 12.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Let's see, the county bond retirement, $ 22. The county general fund, $ 160.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: And senior citizens, $ 62. You add it all up, it's
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: $ 4, 764 is what they show right there.
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: It's ridiculous.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: What did it used to be? I've got to go back.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: It's just interesting. You can see how it's grown over
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: the years. It's just ridiculous.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: But here's the problem. Here's the problem. Like I said,
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: you see it in Canfield, Boardman, Polk. All of these
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: places are running out of money.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: The snowballs have started to come down the mountainside and
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: are gaining momentum and speed. The financial avalanche that is
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: going to hit these organizations over the next couple of years,
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: they are not prepared for. They should have been tightening
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: their belts. And the reason we've gotten through the last
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: four or five years okay is because of all the
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: federal money that Biden threw into the economy and at
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: these people. Mahoney County got, what, $ 46 million. City of Youngstown,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: there's a great one. What was it, $ 83, $ 84 million?
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: What do we have to show for the $ 84 million
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: the imbeciles that run the city of Youngstown pissed away
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: over the last three, four, five years? Name me one
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: thing you can point to that says, oh, that was
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: a great way to spend your Biden bucks. I can't
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: think of anything. I can't think of anything in the
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: area that we spent federal money on that was from
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: that appropriation that was supposedly for COVID. I can't think
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: of anything that we spent our money on that was
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: a worthwhile expenditure.
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: All you've got to.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Do is, like you said, look at Poland Township where
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: they're struggling to have enough money to pay their cops.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: And when you listen to that meeting, it was like, well,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: what do we do here?
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: What do we spend here?
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: What do we do there?
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Well, maybe you shouldn't have done that stuff. I mean,
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: you don't have enough money to function as Poland Township.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: But then again, on the other hand, take a look.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine if you once again, if you live
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: in the city of Canfield and you're facing a significant
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: mill as far as the school levy is concerned and
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: this MRDD levy nonsense. So both of those would pass.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: We can price a lot of people out of their
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: homes in Canfield. I mean, there's no doubt in my mind.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: And I'm not just talking the elderly. I'm talking everybody
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: in between. It is utter insanity. And I say it again.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: It will never be enough till they have all of
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: your money.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Wake up. That's all I got.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: It has to stop. It absolutely has to stop. And
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, like I've said, I have three healthy kids.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: We stopped after the third because I didn't want to
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: risk it. And I feel, I can't imagine. what it's
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: like to have to raise a child that has physical,
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: mental disability type needs. And I feel for those people.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: But you know, the taxpayers can't cover everything. I mean,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: everything's got to learn to be more efficient. You can
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: only do so much.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: And I have no problem providing these people with assistance,
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: but where does it end? Where do you stop? If
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: you look up in Minnesota, what were they doing? They
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: were trying to sign up as many people as they
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: could with autism. People were telling you, go get an
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: autism diagnosis. They probably took them to a phony doctor
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: who said, oh, yeah, this kid has autism, so that
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: they could get them on the dole and start collecting
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: funds from the government. It's a grift. And I feel
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: sorry for the legitimate people out there because, like I've said,
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: I can't imagine having a special needs child or a
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: special needs adult as they grow older, what have you.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: But there is so much waste, fraud, and abuse in
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: these government programs that needs rooted out. And there's so
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: many benefits that these things provide that you and I,
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: we can't afford a lot of this stuff.
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: The people you're listening to on this How.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Many people take a vacation every year that the government
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: pays for?
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: You get a vote on it, I suggest you vote
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: against it. I genuinely do.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: It's got to go down. This MRDD levy has.
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: To go down.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: A message needs to be sent.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: I will not vote for it.
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: Thank you, Rich. Appreciate it.

• 21:25
  Speaker 1: A house explosion early this morning in Kansas leaving two
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: people severely.
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: Burned and injured. The explosion caught on a ring camera
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: in the 1600 block of Bonnet Road northeast around 4
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: o'clock completely destroying the home. One victim found in the
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: street with severe burns and traumatic injuries after being thrown
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: from the home by the explosion. The other victim found
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: a block over before 8.30. A natural gas leak said
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: to have been the cause, but the cause of the
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: leak and where it came from are still under investigation.
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: A police officer in Alliance entering into a plea deal,
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: admitting to OVI and obstructing official business, sentenced to one
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: year of probation and will pay a fine. Sergeant Ethan
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: Griffin is said to have struck a pole in Austintown
• 22:08
  Speaker 9: last month and then tried to flee on foot before
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: he eventually surrendered. In a separate case, Griffin was arrested Tuesday,
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: now charged with felony child endangerment. I'm Sean Gallagher.

• 22:36
  Speaker 2: And you're on the air.
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: I like the way you guys are going there. That
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: people got to do something.
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: But they won't.
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: I appreciate it.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, they absolutely will not. Here's what here's what
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: people need to do. They need to go out and
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: vote no on this stuff. They need to vote no
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: on MRDD. They need to vote no on on this
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: because I was just looking at my my yearly taxes
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: in 2023. There were four thousand four hundred seventy six
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty four.
• 23:06
  Speaker 9: $ 4, 547.
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: 2025, $ 4, 764.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: So they go up a couple hundred a year, basically.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: And so now the next step is going to be
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: just shy of $ 5, 000 a year.
• 23:10
  Speaker 8: Every year.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just, it's insane.
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: It is, and it's everything.
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: And you know what? That's why.
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: Well, I just looked at it right here.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: So let's see. So next year, it's beyond $ 5, 000. It's
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: $ 5, 092 is where that will be first for the year.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Does that seem right?
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Let me see.
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: I got to look at this. I got to pay.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: No, I know.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: I stand corrected. So it's going to be 4764. That's
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: for what year?
• 24:04
  Speaker 8: 2025.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Okay. Never mind. It's going to be 2026. I can
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: hardly wait.
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: No, and I believe you get a take by Dennis
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: Prager from Prager University. So there's three types of people
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: out there, the fighters, those who help the fighters, and
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: those who do nothing. And luckily, right, you got Denise
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: over there doing her thing, and she's a fighter. And
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: you got some people helping her, maybe like you. You
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: got to get it done. And I think, you can
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: disagree with me if you would like, I think the
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: Trump administration and his moves on boys not beating up
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: girls in girls' sports. I'd say the border. I'd say
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: the waste, fraud, and abuse that he talked about in
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: 2016 and people made fun of him. There's no waste, fraud,
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: and abuse.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: Hey, another fighter, Ben Shapiro, sending his people to Columbus
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: and finding all the fraud down there. I don't know.
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: Is it take a village? It takes something. It takes
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: a group of people. It takes more than one. Because
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: if Trump did everything he wanted to do, that's fine.
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: But now he has the backup. Now he has the
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: DOJ saying, yeah, mutilate those children, you perverts, and you're
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: going to jail. And, again, we've lived through who, what's
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: his name, John Kasich and Mitt Romney and all the
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: rest of them. You know, quote, unquote, Republicans. But they
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: did nothing. Name a policy. Trump's policies are everything. He's getting,
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: you know, you do it every day, and that's fine.
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: It's not my favorite thing to go to Iran. All
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: I'm saying is, My glass is two-thirds full because of
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: all the things going on. That lady in Minnesota, jail,
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: 40 years. That's never happened before for waste, fraud, and abuse.
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: Forty years, just like Rich was talking about. They try
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: to get more and more people, right? Sign them up.
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: Sign them up. They're autistic. And you're stealing money from
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: actual autistic people.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: Well..
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: You know what? With this administration, it's changing. And if
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: we can get more done and have, whatever, two and
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: a half more years, congratulations. Because, again, I think overall,
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: Trump gets a passing grade. The administration, everybody that backs
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: him up, Marco Rubio, You know, like you keep pointing
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: out what DeSantis is doing. You know whose team DeSantis
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: is on? It's the same team. So this non-establishment Republican
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: wing is doing amazing things day after day after day,
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: the day after we watched Fauci squirm in his seat
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: and look like he was constipated. Because you need to
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: point it out. And people are, well, I don't want
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: to go back over. You know what? Sorry that you
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: don't want to go back over. You have to. You
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: have to point out. People don't know. Half the people
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: aren't believing. Another quarter of the people just don't know
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: what actually went on. And the beauty of America is this.
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: The different sheriffs, because they're elected, they're different than the
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: regular police. They said, yeah, we're not enforcing those ridiculous
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: China virus mandates. And I think I can say China
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: virus now because we know where it came from. Oops.
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: Maybe you shouldn't have been writing a diary, a 14-year-old girl.
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: But me and my wife went to the Grandview Tavern,
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: Lake Milton. And it had the sign on the door, hey, caution,
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: China virus, do this, do that, have plexiglass and a mask.
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: And me and my wife were like, I guess we're
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: going to put a mask on. And we opened the
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: door and walked in there. We were the only ones
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: with a mask on, and everybody looked at us. And
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: we're like, no, no, no, we're regular humans. We just
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: saw the sign on the door that said you had
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: to do this. We didn't know the rules were different.
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: on the inside of this door. I appreciate you put
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: it up for the, I don't know, local constable or somebody,
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: but it was the same thing in Pennsylvania. When you
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: went out of Allegheny County, it looked like COVID never happened.
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: But..
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: The state's in control. They shut down the beaches at
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: Presque Isle up in Erie because we had a Democrat
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: governor marching with Black Lives Matter members and saying, look,
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: to comply with COVID regulations, the beaches at Presque Isle
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: will be like this. Beach 1 is open. Beach 2
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: is closed.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Beach 3 is open. Beach 4 is closed.
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: And so on and so forth. And I'm like, wait,
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: if you wanted people further apart from each other... Wouldn't
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: you have all.
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: The beaches open?
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: The whole Fauci thing was just the utmost in arrogance
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: that you saw yesterday. I mean, obviously, he's got this
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: pardon from Biden. So let's be realistic. No one's going
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: to be held accountable for this. Which is just frightening
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: to me. China's not going to be held accountable for
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: the gain of Function Lab. Fauci's not going to be
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: held accountable. Fauci is sheer evil. Fauci was funding this stuff. Fauci,
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: with his diary or whatever you want to call it,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: his notes. So you find out from his notes that
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Fauci was saying one thing in public and a different
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: thing in his notebook. So he was contradicting himself. So
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: he knew he was lying to you. About the mask,
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: about the six-foot distancing, about he was lying about all
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: this stuff, about him getting the vaccine, about him having some..
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: He had a heart attack.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, him having..
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: He had a heart attack. That NFL player, DeMar Hamlin, right?
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: He has the weirdest... heart attack ever. And he's a
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: 25-year-old super athlete. He's the alpha athlete. And in front
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: of everybody's eyes, all over America and the world, he
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: falls on his back, dying on the field.
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: You're right.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: What?
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: What happened? And then they all lied to us.
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: No, no, no.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: It's not from the shot. It's not from the back.
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: Guess what? 99.9% it is from the shot. And I
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: got the shot. I'm not saying everybody dies from it.
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: I'm saying if Fauci and DeMar Hamlin fell on the
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: floor and had to go to the hospital, and then
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: the creepiest part is Fauci never told us that he
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: went to the hospital.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Well, like he got the Moderna. Moderma shot or Moderma.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: He got that shot and he had complications for it
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: and he got COVID, but he, but you never knew that,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: you know, it now because of the diary, you know,
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: that he was, he's evil. He was a liar. He
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: was funding this and he will not be held accountable.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: And so he will get, he will totally get away
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: with it. He will totally escape. The only good thing
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: about what's going on. Is the information is getting out
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: there so people that have an open mind can hear
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: it and say, boy, how wrong this is. I don't
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: understand any of the Democrats just totally ignoring it or
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: going along with it. All Americans should be outraged at
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: what Fauci did, what Fauci funded and the lies he
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: told and the consequences that people suffered.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it, Jake.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: Thanks.
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: All right. You're on the air.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: Yes. Yes.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: I remember a COVID story.
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: When I realized COVID, something was up. We all went
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: through the mask and six-foot nonsense for a long time.
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: I traveled down to Nashville, Tennessee with my mask, got
• 32:46
  Speaker 8: off the plane. My wife, we're walking around. I looked
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: at my wife. I said, notice anything different down here?
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: She's like, nobody has a mask on.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: I go, yeah, you're right.
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: We go out to dinner that night on Broadway, Friday night.
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: Not a mask to be seen. Thousands of people.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: I look at my wife. I said, what is going on?
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: From that moment on, I knew there was something going on,
• 33:09
  Speaker 8: and I think we've all figured it out.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: Pretty sad.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Well, once again, Fauci is evil.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: The lies, the deceptions, what he was saying publicly and
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: what he was saying privately, and he will not be
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: held accountable.
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: That's the shame of all of it.
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: A person will have zero responsibility for the lives that
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: he affected and will continue to affect in the future.
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: It's very sad.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Have a great day, Ron. Thank you.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Here's the reality. COVID is a real thing. COVID wasn't
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: just a cold or any of this nonsense. COVID was
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: created in this lab. It was a real thing. And
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: it really did kill a lot of people.
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: And those people died alone.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Without their family members at their side in a hospital
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: or a nursing home. Those people were denied care that
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: could have been effective in helping them survive.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Ivermectin, hydrochloroquine.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Things that were effective but were blackballed because of the
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: lies being told. The doctors that were fighting the battle
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: were being blackballed and threatened. I don't care if you're
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: a Democrat or Republican as an American. You need to
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: know this information and you should be so offended by
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: what's Fauci funded that this went to China and the
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: cover-up that took place and the lies that took place
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: and the fact that nobody is going to be held
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: accountable for it.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: No one.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Whether that's the complications from the vaccine or the complications
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: and death from COVID. Because there are people that got
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: COVID that didn't die that have long-term effects. So we
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: know there are people that have COVID that have long-term effects.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: We know there are people that had the vaccine and
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: had died and also have long-term effects. And I'm telling you,
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: that guy to me is absolutely a creep.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: He is evil.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: And he will not pay a price for it at all.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden gave him a pardon, probably knowing that when
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: he left office, this information would come out. And Fauci's
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: like offended that his own thoughts are coming out that
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: he wrote on government computers that contradict what he was
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: saying publicly and show him to be the fraud and
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: liar that he is.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: You're on the air.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: Hello.
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: Hello, Ron.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: You're talking about the liar, the cheater, cost us money,
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: cost us lives.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: Who are you talking about?
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: You're talking about Trump?
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: You could talk about Trump. You could talk about just
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: about any politician. But in this case, I'm talking about Fauci.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay, because..
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: The things that like G2 said, stuff like that about
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: no inflation and it's Trump, not Fauci.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, there's huge inflation going on. And the inflation
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: that's going on is because of this war and the
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: decision that Trump made. And it's a big mistake. And
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: I think it will come back to bite Trump and
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: haunt Trump.
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: As it should.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: It was his decision. He made it.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, people can say, well, he was coaxed
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: into it by Netanyahu or Israel or who knows if
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: they have something on him. But he made the final
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: decision to go down this road when we had gas
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: prices down to 250. Things were going in the right direction.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: And in the blink of an eye, based on that decision,
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: things got reversed for the worse. And now they're trying
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: to say, how do we get out of this mess
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: we created? And it is a mess that he created
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: and it has added to inflation. Added on top of
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: the inflation that we already had. It's a damn shame.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: But in this case, we're talking about the lies that
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Fauci was telling publicly and what he wrote privately and
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: the people that died as a result.
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: Well, again, I blame it on Trump because he's the
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: one who hired.
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: Fauci, right?
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think he hired Fauci. I think Fauci's
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: been in a career in that position for decades.
• 37:32
  Speaker 8: But he was put to the top by Trump.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know if he split that top, and I
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: think he was in charge of that organization. He's a doctor,
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: but he's a career bureaucrat in that position for years
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: and years and years.
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: When it came to the COVID thing, though, who put him.
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: In charge of that?
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: No, he would be in charge of that, the National
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Institute of Health. I mean, he's in charge.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: They're in charge.
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: That's what they do.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, the bottom line is, listen, I don't care
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: what your– you can blame Trump for everything, but in
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: this case, it's about Fauci. Fauci made these decisions, and
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: Fauci did this stuff, and he will not be held
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: accountable because he's been pardoned. So nothing will happen to him.
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: Nothing.
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: Did you hear about the guy down in– just went
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: to Nashville, and they walked out, and there's all these
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: people without wearing masks and all that stuff?
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:26
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: He just called.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: It's their decision to wear masks.
• 38:30
  Speaker 8: It's their decision to do this, that, and the other thing.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: So if they scare everybody, the politicians say, well, I'm
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: going to close the school down, or I'm not going
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: to do it here, or I'm going to do it online,
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: or I'm going to do this. It was somebody else
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: who made that decision. Now, Fauci said this, and everything's
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: going to be fine, or it's really.
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: Bad, and you can't do this.
• 38:50
  Speaker 8: It's up to you whether you're going to pull the
• 38:52
  Speaker 8: kids out of school on a snowy.
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: Day or a COVID day or whatever you're.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Going to do.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: So just so we get it clear, folks, after you
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: saw yesterday's testimony, you don't think Fauci had anything to
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: do with this? I want to clarify this to our
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: listeners after we all saw what we saw take place yesterday.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: You don't think Fauci's responsible.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: For any of this?
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: Of course he is.
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: So is every other politician that said, don't do this,
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: don't do that.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: But who was in charge? Who was in charge? Who
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: guided those decisions?
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go with Trump.
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: Because he could have fired Fauci any time. And Biden
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: could have got rid of Fauci any time.
• 39:31
  Speaker 7: But they didn't now, did they?
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: No.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: So, okay.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Thanks. I mean, that call's just bizarre. I don't even
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: know how you can come to that conclusion after you
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: watched Fauci yesterday.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Back in a minute. Good Wednesday morning.
• 39:50
  Speaker 7: Longstown's news, weather, and talk station, 570 WKBN.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, mercy.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: 3.55 in the afternoon. We're on Verb News Radio, 570 WKBN. Thursday,
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: July 30th, 83 degrees, and you're on the air.
• 40:05
  Speaker 10: Hey there, good afternoon.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 40:08
  Speaker 10: Yeah, kicking back and forth pretty rough on that. Thought
• 40:11
  Speaker 10: you walked into a kangaroo court. It should have never
• 40:16
  Speaker 10: been Rand Paul. I think it would have ran smoother.
• 40:19
  Speaker 10: But he pleaded the fifth. He can do that. But
• 40:23
  Speaker 10: who's going to get stuck with the East Wing now?
• 40:28
  Speaker 10: The taxpayers of the United States are going to get
• 40:31
  Speaker 10: stuck paying for that East Wing. With all them people
• 40:33
  Speaker 10: he said it was going to contribute to building.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: I've got to tell you, the least of my concerns,
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: and I'm just going to be straightforward with you, is
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: the East Wing. I don't want to say that it's insignificant,
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: but it's insignificant. I am genuinely deeply disturbed by what
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: I saw yesterday with Fauci. And Rand Paul has been
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: on this all along because he is a doctor. And
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: I think Rand Paul has an understanding of it. And
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: so I don't think it was a kangaroo court. I
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: think it's seeking the truth, which I think you deserve
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: to know. So I think this is a vital thing to... unravel,
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: even though nothing will come from it. But that is
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: what I'm concerned about in this war in Iran is
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: what I'm concerned about in where energy is headed.
• 41:21
  Speaker 7: Now, those are the those are I hate to say it.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: Those are the only two things that that disturb me
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: on a national level. But right now, on a national level,
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: if I if I vented to you, I would say
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: to you, I am one pissed off American based on
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: Fauci and my government's And you've been around as long
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: as I have.
• 41:41
  Speaker 7: You remember the.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Lies that took place during Vietnam and Agent Orange.
• 41:44
  Speaker 7: Do you not?
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: When perfectly healthy people went and they came back with
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: cancers that weren't in the family and the government denied
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: for years. And you can remember it, that Agent Orange
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: had anything to do with it. They denied it, these
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: guys died, and they continued to deny it until they
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: couldn't any longer. Do you remember that deception that was
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: pulled back in those days?
• 42:06
  Speaker 10: I have three friends that... Or in high school that
• 42:09
  Speaker 10: died from it. And I understand what you're saying.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: And now there's no doubt in my mind that what
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: Fauci did killed a lot of people. COVID killed a
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: lot of people. There's people with long-term effects from it.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: And the vaccine killed a lot of people and have
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: a lot of long-term effects. And I'm telling you that
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: man is evil. And he's going to get away with it.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: They're all going to get away with it.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: That's so damn deeply disturbing to me. I can't tell you.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: Stand by for me, all right? Just hang in there
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: for a minute. I'll come back to him, pick up
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: my conversation in a minute.
