• 0:09
  Speaker 2: and Ron Verb. I just ran into John Bocheri a
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: little bit ago, and I got to tell you, gang,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: he is an impressive guy. I mean, you know, he
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: has just such an impressive background in history as far
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: as his military experience, as far as his life experience,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: things I didn't know, and just talking to him about his–
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: playing baseball, and joining the military, and going through flying
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: in the military, and now as United Airlines pilots. I mean,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: it's really a hell of a story. It's really interesting. Anyway,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: good afternoon. NewsRadio 570, WDKVN, and Ron Verb. It's 3.06
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: in the afternoon. You're on the air.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Hello, Ron.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: Hey, thanks for taking my call, buddy.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: It's been a while since I've heard from you.
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 0:59
  Speaker 7: May I vent?
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Give me a minute here. Let's see. The weather's beautiful.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I'm in a good mood. So, yeah, go ahead.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: Okay, one. It's about Youngstown selling the bottom dollar store.
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: Now, there's a city that put a million point two
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: in it to fix it up, where I don't know where,
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: how much, you know, they put a roof on it
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: and a little inside. I don't know where that costs
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: a million two.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I don't understand. Excuse me. I'm all choked up. I
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: don't understand how the store was relatively new. It's not
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: that old of a building. I mean, remember, it was
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: built brand new by bottom dollar, so it's not that
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: old of a facility. Now, it did sit for a
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: period of time.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: And that probably would ruin the roof.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: It's hard to imagine.
• 1:46
  Speaker 8: But anyway.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: They sold it for $ 350, 000.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: Now, I would say, at the most, For a roof
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: and fixing what's inside of it. That should be the
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: most they should have had in it. Because that building
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: is new. And now there's $ 850, 000 down the drain of
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: our taxpayers' money.
• 2:08
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: You know, so I... I like when Rich calls. He
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: runs down Youngstown. I love that. And it's just ridiculous
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: what they did with that money. They just blew it.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: The second vent is... Not across the street from me,
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: but the house behind it. Last week, I got shot
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: up seven times with a rifle. And they got the
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: wrong house. It was the house next to them. Now,
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: that never made the news or nothing. And the poor
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: people were in their bedroom when this happened. Now, they
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: got to move out because the ladies scared the heck
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: out of them.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Let me see if I get this straight. So just
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: help me out here. So are these elderly people?
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: No, they're a young couple that just bought the house.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: And so they're in their house.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: In their house.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: And in the bedroom.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: They're actually upstairs in the bedroom. This was at 140
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: in the morning.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine that? They were sleeping at 140 in
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the morning. Okay, so they're sleeping at 140 in the morning,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and somebody comes by and starts shooting into their house.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, shooting into their house. Nine rounds, I think, they
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: put in. I wrote a rifle. And the people that
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: shot into it had the wrong house. It was the
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: one next to them. And that... Never made the news.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: It made the website, but they never said nothing on
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: the news. There was no news crew or nothing down there.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: Not a house is sitting empty. And the lady posted
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: it on Brownlee Woods' website saying, and they want people
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: to move into Youngstown. And this is a pretty fair,
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: not the best, but a pretty fair area of Youngstown
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: to live in. But it's ridiculous. I never see the
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: cops over here. Very rarely you'll see Youngstown police go
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: up and down my streets.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I've said this over the years and I'll say it again.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: The biggest deterrent to crime is a marked police car
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: driving around your community. I mean, don't ever discount it.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: That is the biggest deterrent to crime is that car
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: driving down your street and going slow and looking around.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: That is the single biggest deterrent to crime. And you
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: don't see that in your neighborhood, which is sad.
• 4:19
  Speaker 10: Well, no.
• 4:21
  Speaker 11: I've been here.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: 20 years, and I bet you if they don't have
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: to come up here, they're not here. Now, they're going
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: to say, if you say that to them, and they're
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: going to say, well, we're there at night. Well, what
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: good is that? You know, I want to see you
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: all the time.
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: You know, they put what.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: They put down the street here, 800,000 in this park,
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: and they never, the one on Melothian, they never even
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: did that this year. That was supposed to have been
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: done this year. It's still vacant over there. Where's all
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: this money going? Where the heck is it? That they
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: got for nothing through the tax. $ 81 million they got,
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: I think, and it's all gone. Everything's a million. You know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: you put a sidewalk in, who has a million dollars
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: just to put a sidewalk in? Everything that when they
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: got that money, if you look at the estimate, it's
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: always over a million bucks. You know, so I don't know.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: I'm really thinking about moving out of the city. I'm
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: tired of it. of this crap.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Well, right, because, I mean, how many times have you
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: called me in the wintertime and they didn't get to
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: your street? Now it's been better with this new mayor.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: You'll be the first to admit to that. But, I mean,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: for years you couldn't get your street plowed.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: No, I know that. I don't know about the new mayor.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: I'll have to see in the winter.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know. But, yeah, it takes them
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: a long time to do that.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: So you're basically here to say to the power structure
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: to be, listen, you've been in the city a long time,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: and you're ready to move out.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah. Yeah, I mean, what do I have to
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: do now? Wear riot gear when I cut the grass?
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: I'm scared I'm going to get shot?
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: You know how many drive-by shootings there's been in my neighborhood?
• 6:06
  Speaker 12: None.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:08
  Speaker 13: None.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Well, the people here... Around me, they really don't want
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: to say much because if somebody finds out they said it,
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: they'll think their house is going.
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: To get shot up.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: And that was never, you know, a thing around here.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, it was something. I mean, I'm looking at
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: the house now, and there's boards all up on the
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: window and stuff. I feel sorry for those people.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: It's a nice house. And now it's just sitting vacants.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: They want to sell it, but it doesn't seem like
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: there are any takers. But they wanted to live there.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: Well, that just happened. Yeah, they fixed it all up.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: They cut these big, you know how much it costs
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: to take these big trees out?
• 6:45
  Speaker 14: Yep.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: You know, they cut two of them down, and they
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: made the house look really nice. And now it's the
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: next-door neighbors, which they're trying to get out, that's causing
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: all the hoopla and all the trouble. It was them.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: They were supposed to hit that house. They can't even
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: shoot up the right house in this neighborhood. for God's sake.
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: But I've been.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: No, but listen to me, you're making a lot of,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: a lot of sense. It's just like when you're talking
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: about the board of elections and Beatrice was saying the
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: other day, they bought what they're moving it to this
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: old Williamson school or whatever, that that's where, that's where
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: we're going to move the board of elections. And because
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: for whatever God known reason, we can't have it in the,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: in the suburbs. I mean, I thought it was, I
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: think in Mahoning County, And it's like, oh, no, you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: this this reverend insisted that it be in the city
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and it can't leave the city. Well, why not? Aren't
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the rest of us taxpayers from Owning County?
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't understand this argument at all, because
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: there was some thought about the Patriot building, which would
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: have been a great location. But God forbid we can't
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: have the Board of Elections in Austintown. Well, we can't
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: do that. We can't we can't put it there or
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: we can't put it just in the suburbs. I just
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: don't understand this mentality. I mean, it's just– and I
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: go back to say this. You want to know what,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: in my opinion, folks, the economic hub of Mahoning County is? Boardman.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: That is what the economic hub of Mahoning County is.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: That is where the action is taking place. You mean
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: to tell me we can't put the Board of Elections
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: somewhere in Boardman? That somehow that would be bad?
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Austin Tav actually catching up. I'll tell you the truth, Ken,
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: when you look at Mahoning Avenue, I remember when there
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: was nothing out there.
• 8:38
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: But, I mean, the drawback of Mahoning Avenue in Austintown
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: is there's too much traffic on too narrow of a road.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: In other words, there's nowhere to make it wider. The
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: lanes are smaller. You get into five lanes, and the
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: lanes are much smaller, and they're not as wide as
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: they should be. There's a lot of traffic on it.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know how much more. you could make Mahoney Avenue.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: It's not as, it's obviously, it's not like State Route 224,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: but that's a state route. But when you look at
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: 224 and how much better that is as far as
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: the width and the lanes and what have you versus
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Mahoney Avenue. But, go ahead.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: The other thing about that bottom dollar, there's a school
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: that's going to move in there. And they got a
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: million dollar grant to put classrooms in. So Youngstown got money.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: They've got to have time.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Well, see, all of this stuff you're talking about is
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: just government money, government tax dollars.
• 9:38
  Speaker 9: Well, our money.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: My money, your money, and the people's money. And they're
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: spending it like drunken sailors.
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: It just makes me so mad.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: And that's why I say until they have all your money,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: they will never have enough. You supposedly are to take
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: care of everybody. Everybody is your concern, and you have
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: to pay for everybody, which is nonsense to me. We
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: are getting further and further away from personal relationships. responsibility
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: up to you to take care of your family and
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: your children. And don't put that burden on everybody else.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: It's just getting ridiculous how much many of these businesses
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: are not private sector businesses. They're getting all their funding
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: and money from the governments. Well, you see how much
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: these people are making on the drug rehab stuff at
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: $ 400 a day because these people are coming in and
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: they're there for $ 400 a day, and then, boom, back
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: on the road you go. And if you get addicted again,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: it's another patient that you can bring in, and they
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: become extremely wealthy organizations. But it's all tax dollars. It's
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: all tax dollars.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: Well, what got me is, How can you show me
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: a million to fix up a little grocery store? It
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: couldn't have been that bad.
• 10:51
  Speaker 10: I don't know.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I don't get it. I don't have your answers.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: I know they had to get something out of it
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: or it would just sit there and have to tear
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: it down.
• 10:57
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: But it was a relatively new building. I don't know
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: that it was vandalized. Obviously, when Bottom Dollar left, they
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: took the coolers out and that kind of stuff.
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: That was out of there.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: I got the inside, but I don't know a million, too.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: But I don't know if when it was sitting, did
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: they have heat in the building?
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: Did they have.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: air conditioning so that the building can be maintained. I mean,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: if you just close a facility down and you don't
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: heat it or have air conditioning or the basic maintenance
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: on it, whether it's a house or a building, it
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: can deteriorate. It can just deteriorate very fast. And I
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: certainly would hope that that's not the case. And what's
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: the sad part is, is that you might end up
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: with a, with a dilapidated house, vacant house in your
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: neighborhood that people fixed up and wanted to live in
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: because of a group of thugs, basically that's, And really
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: the question should be with the cops, why do they
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: want to shoot up that other house? I certainly would hope.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: They're trouble.
• 11:56
  Speaker 11: They're trouble.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Well, then there better be some type of police investigation
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: going on as to what's going on there.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: They're doing it, but I don't know how you can
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: get them out of there if they're paying for the
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: house and stuff. This lady actually put pictures of her
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: house on the Brownlee Woods website. You could see the
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: bullet holes through the walls in her bedroom.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine how frightening that would be?
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: They're lucky she didn't get shot, for God's sake.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, being in her own house.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: And no news coverage. That was another thing. There was
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: no news coverage, no crew down there, nothing. And everybody
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: heard it here. I mean, God was right in front
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: of them. I could look at the house.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: So did it wake you? It didn't wake me.
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: I'm a dead sleeper.
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: Everybody else.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: You better watch your term, dead sleeper, because you could
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: have been.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: If there was a ricochet.
• 12:42
  Speaker 15: I'm 71, Ron.
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: I'm ready.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: No, you're not.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: I'm ready.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: No, you're not.
• 12:47
  Speaker 16: Come on.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I'm ready, Ron. No, no.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: I'm surprised I haven't got shot yet sitting.
• 12:52
  Speaker 9: On a porch.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: You don't want to see the white light. If you
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: see the white light, you'll see me say, go back,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: go back.
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: Go back. You know what I mean?
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: You're not ready.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: I'm surprised I sit on the porch a lot. I'm
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: surprised I haven't got hit yet.
• 13:03
  Speaker 17: Yes.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: You never know. Hey, thanks for letting me vent, buddy.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: You've got a good hearing in your voice. I appreciate
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: your call. Thank you. 318 in the afternoon. News Radio
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: 570 WKBN. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. How would you
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: like to live like that? You're on air.
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: Well, can the guardians do it?
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, it's my official sports prognosticator, Dick
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: from Dayton. I'm beginning to think, incidentally, that you're getting
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: your mojo back. You know, you were a disaster last year.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Let's be realistic, Dick. You know it as well as
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: I do. Most programs would have got rid of you because, really,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: you got everything wrong last year. The year before that,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: you were on fire. You were on fire. The following year,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, everything went south, and it was just a disaster.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Most programs would have said, you're done. You're no longer
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: the sports prognosticator. But we have such low standards on
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: this program. We kept you on as our sports prognosticator,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Dick from Dayton. Well, we're known for our low standards.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: So consequently, this year, you're on fire. You're on fire
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: this year. You're doing pretty good.
• 14:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 14:07
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: So far, so good. Let me go before I get
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: to the Guardians. How about those Browns? How about the Browns?
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: Yes. Yes.
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: Oh, man.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, but can they get a lead? And so I'm
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: not uptight going into the, you know, as we get
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: close to that again, can we get a big lead?
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: So I'm not it's not the cardiac kids again.
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, you've got to do that. Now, last night,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: a hell of a game, incidentally. A great game. But,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're down, what, now it's 2-1. And it's
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: best of three. So, theoretically, we've got to win two
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: more to proceed on. Is it possible?
• 14:47
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Is it uphill battle?
• 14:49
  Speaker 17: Absolutely.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. But I'm rooting for them. Now, they play tonight,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I think, at 8 o'clock.
• 14:55
  Speaker 13: Oh, do they?
• 14:56
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I think it's tonight at 8.
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: Well, we'll see what happens, right? Yeah.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, who do you think is going to win?
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: Sunday? Browns are going to win Sunday.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: No, the Guardians game.
• 15:08
  Speaker 9: Oh, the Guardians.
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: They'll make it tonight. They'll go to a fifth game,
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: I think.
• 15:13
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: We shall see. So you're on the hook for tomorrow.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: You hear me?
• 15:17
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: See you later.
• 15:18
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Our official sports prognosticator, Dick from Dayton, who calls him
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: as he sees him. And sometimes he doesn't seem very good.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: But we love him anyway. 3.20 in the afternoon, you're
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: on the air.
• 15:32
  Speaker 10: Hey, Ron.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: That first caller, and we all know it, the west
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: side or whatever you call it, the brownie woods over there,
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: it is starting to look like a jungle.
• 15:48
  Speaker 9: I'm sorry.
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: That's just what it is. It's slowly in decay. It's
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: a cancer. And, you know, you see it going up Mahoney,
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: and then you go, towards Mill Creek Park, and it's
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: the K. The home nut of the shell is you
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: just get people that don't know how to take care
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: of houses. They're not the old school, you know, manicuring
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: their homes and all that. And then what they do,
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: they bring their problems with them. I'm glad I live
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: out near the sharing line, near PA. You know, everybody
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: wants to... Yeah, everybody deserves a nice home and all that,
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: but there's just some people... They want a nice home,
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: but they bring their problems or issues, their associates with them.
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: And Youngstown, from one officer to talk to whatever, they
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: consider Youngstown a hornet's nest, so they don't want to
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: stir it up. Number one, meaning they don't want to
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: get traffic tickets if they don't have to. I said,
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: have you seen half?
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Now, stand by for me. Stand by. I'm coming back
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: to you. Insightful caller here. Going to call it as
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: he sees it. And I want to hear it. 322
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: in the afternoon. A glorious looking Thursday. Back in a minute.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Ron Verp.
• 16:59
  Speaker 18: I heart radio.
• 17:03
  Speaker 9: For two years.
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: Our friends.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Weather and talk station. 570 WKBN.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Celebrating 100 great years. 71 degrees. Perfect temperature. Great Thursday afternoon.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: October 8th already.
• 17:15
  Speaker 19: 2026.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Ron Verp from the kingdom of Mahoning. All right. So
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: you were saying... That you kind of live on the
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: outskirts then, right?
• 17:25
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I live in farm territory, if people want to
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: call it that. And I'll tell you what, I'm glad
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: I do because I don't have any of these problems.
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: You know, out here we're gun-toting people. But like I said,
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: I'm not around people that, you know, are problematic. But
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: you see it all day long, Ron, when you drive
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: in the city. You know who this is. This is
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: the guy that went to Phoenix, came back, and said
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: the city's a dump.
• 17:50
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, I knew exactly what it was. I will never
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: forget his story. He went and bought his mother a
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: car out in, what, Arizona or somewhere.
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: Brownlee Woods, I'm sorry, people, but it's a dump. You
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: can see it slowly going down. It's a dump on
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: the west side. It used to be primo territory. Remember
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: where Woods, what is it, the psycho hospital used to
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: be over there by Woodrow Wilson? Yes. And WKBN, who
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: was the TV news guy?
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: He lived over there.
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: That used to be a pristine, very, very well-kept neighborhood.
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: Look at it now. It's a freaking dump.
• 18:27
  Speaker 13: Yes. Okay?
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: So it's the people that cause this. I mean, if
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: you get a nice house, keep the house up. You
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: have people that don't know how to take care of things,
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: plus they're problematic people.
• 18:39
  Speaker 11: Listen.
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: We got to put people in politics that don't want
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: to stir up the people.
• 18:44
  Speaker 10: You know what?
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: Stir them up.
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: You know, watch them walking tall. You know, make the
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: officers give tickets. Set up speed traps. You know, because
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: I'm going to tell you nothing. Go all the way
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: out to 224. It's a mess going to Canfield or
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: going out to the PA line. Really, it's a nightmare.
• 19:04
  Speaker 10: I'll be out there 10, 13, 11 o'clock in the morning.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: And there's traffic.
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's bumper to bumper. I don't even want
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: to go out there no more because I said, this
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: is crazy. It's not wide enough. And the traffic is
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: going to keep coming and coming because the population is
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: growing out there.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: You're talking, what, 224 in my neck of the woods?
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: Yes, over there by the mall.
• 19:25
  Speaker 10: It's a mess.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, but no. Now, wait a minute. 224, it's wide.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: The lanes are wide. You've got a turning lane.
• 19:35
  Speaker 20: Bumper to bumper traffic, Ron.
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: You know it. Right.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: At times, you have that. But all in all, it's
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: well-maintained by the state and well-plowed, well-salted. And that's your
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: main threat. When we talk about what's the economic hub
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: of Mahoning County, I don't care what anyone says. It's Boardman.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Boardman is where it's at. That's why it's so busy.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: You want to go on Mahoning Avenue. in my hometown
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: of Austintown, you skinny, smaller lanes, the road isn't as wide,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: and yet it's still five lanes. That road is overwhelmed
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: with the amount of traffic that's on it.
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: Mahoney, listen, I'm a country boy. I run all these
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: back roads because, number one, these main lines... or potholed
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: up to death anyway. You know, like I say, I
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: don't want to keep sounding like a broken record, but
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: it's just going out to Arizona to come back here.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: So you realized, I remember your call, you said when
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: you were going through all these other states driving this
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: car back for your mother that you bought from Arizona,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: you knew as soon as you got into your hometown
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: when the roads turned to crap, correct?
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: Yep, absolutely. And it took that for me to realize that.
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: I mean, I guess when you're around something that smells
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: bad all the time, you don't know it until you
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: leave it. And then you say, well, let's show that
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: stink around here.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: No, there's truth to that.
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: Another thing, another thing.
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: Now, listen, listen, Ron.
• 21:04
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: I ain't got nothing.
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: Against no legal immigrant. But I go to the bank yesterday,
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: hardworking Joe as I am.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: And there's an immigrant. I know he's an immigrant. And
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: he comes in with these two big satchels of money
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: and drops them on the floor as we're going to
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: go to our cashiers or our tellers.
• 21:24
  Speaker 12: Oh, Jesus.
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: And I'm just looking at him.
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: I can say, you know what? I said, look at
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: all this money this guy's just carrying in satchels. And
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: he's just smiling and all this and that, looking happy.
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: And I said, well, I know he's a hardworking guy,
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: but I don't know. I said, something's just not right.
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: So I was just not right. You got pockets and
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: pockets of cougar rams, whatever you got there.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what. First of all, it drives
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: me crazy when I go to the bank. And they
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: never seem to have enough tellers usually at the bank.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: But you get old people. No offense, old people. You
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: get old people up at the teller. And I know
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: what you're thinking. You're one, too. But they get up
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: there and they just tie the line up forever. And
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: it's like, learn technology. You can find it. Stand by
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: for me. Just stand by. Something about this guy I
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: really enjoy. Callers in line, stand by. Back with more.

  Speaker 2: Absolutely. So you were kind of like at your wit's
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: end when you look around and you say you've done
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: some exploring and you're saying to yourself, gee, it's better elsewhere.
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: For instance, I have property up in Conneaut, Ohio. Now,
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: there's no main industry up there. The town is kind
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: of depressed, but I'll tell you what, it's clean, it's
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: Law enforcement, you do not want to mess around with.
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: The prosecutor, you do not want to mess around with
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: for a little town as it is. But you go there,
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: you're impressed. Youngstown, I don't know what's wrong with these people.
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: I mean, make the law enforcement do their job. Crack
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: down on craziness and all this stupidness. These guys that
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: are doing the shooting... Just do it like Texas. It's
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: like you get caught with a gun, gun crime, you're
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: going for life or the old Sparky. End of story.
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: There ain't nothing but a bunch of young punk hulums
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: who needs to be kicked in the behind and sent
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: into the hole. with big john so he could take
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: care of.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Them but basically what you're saying to me you sound
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: a little bit like rudy giuliani in a sense of
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: rudy giuliani when he cleaned up new york he says
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: we're starting with all the little stuff the cops aren't
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: going to look the other way on anything a broken
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: window theory they would call it in other words you
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: want you want the police department to enforce traffic laws okay.
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: They should they should yes.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Are your windows tinted more than they should be? Are
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: you running red lights? Are you driving without headlights on?
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: All of this kind of stuff. You're saying, let's start
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: stopping cars. Let's enforce the speeding laws. Let's enforce traffic laws.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: And let's enforce all this other stuff and crack down
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: on crime, period. I mean, look how good it worked
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: in New York when Giuliani was mayor, right?
• 25:33
  Speaker 9: Really?
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: I mean, I go up Market Street. Now, I got
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: caught by one of the cameras with a $ 100 ticket.
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: I was ticked. But you know what? I'm not going
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: to go to court and fight this. I paid that ticket. Now,
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: if I have to go that way, I know where
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: that traffic camera is, and I slow it down.
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: I obey the law. Just like we were talking before.
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: I said, you know, you can have martial law going on.
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: They don't bother me because I'm not a criminal. I'm
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: not looking to do nothing wrong. I'm looking to do
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: my business. You clean up the criminals and all your
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: problems are gone. And that's what it is, man. You
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: got a lot of people who don't want to follow
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: the law. They want to say, you know, don't touch me.
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: It's my right. They don't know nothing.
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: They're idiots.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: So how do you think we got here? How do
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: you think society.
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: Liberalism?
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: Liberalism.
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: Okay? Because I was in Columbus a week ago visiting
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: my cousins who are rich. And I mean rich, Ron.
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: They got a golf course. In the back of their home,
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: and these are mansion homes. But you know what? I'm there.
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: I was proud. I was very honored that they let
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: me stay there. And I was like, wow. It was Westerville, Ohio.
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: You can tell it's a money town. But their ideas
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: are very, very liberal. I'm a cowboy. I'm all for guns.
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: I'm all for justice, just like that lady up there
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: in Boston. You kill three kids, you got two choices,
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: old Sparky or life in a psychic ward, period. But
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: they don't believe that way.
• 27:03
  Speaker 10: They, oh, she probably had mental issues.
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: Well, you know what? She planned to kill the kids.
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: The first one she planned is she would have to
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: number two. It's liberalism, man.
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: You can see it. It's a sickness.
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: Like Rush used to say, it's a sickness.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: That was my, that was, uh, The Savage Nation. Remember him?
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Liberalism is a mental disease.
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: You guys need to bring him back.
• 27:26
  Speaker 10: What kind of programming do you guys have now? It's
• 27:28
  Speaker 10: a little goofy.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: He's like 102 years old, so I don't even think
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: he's doing much of that anymore, doing a nightly radio
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: program or anything like that. So, I mean, you know,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: time marches on, but he wrote the book, Liberalism is
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: a Mental Disease.
• 27:46
  Speaker 10: Dr.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Michael Savage.
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: I'm going to say this, and I'll let you go,
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: because I know you're busy. I will think about you
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: all when I'm down in Florida for the four months
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: that I go down there, because an El Nino winter
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: storm is coming. I watch a lot of Weather Channel,
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: and they said two weeks before Christmas, there's going to
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: be a lot of snow that's going to hit this area.
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: So I said, well, I'm out of here.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: So you're going to what part of Florida are you
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: going to?
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: I stay down in Sanford, right outside Orlando off of.
• 28:14
  Speaker 9: The 4th when you get off of 95.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: So you go down for four months and you escape
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: it all?
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: Yes, I do. I bought an RV and I get
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: the heck out of Dodge, brother. And I go down
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: there and, hey, I'm not a rich man. I'm a
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: poor man. But I'll tell you what, it is nice
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: to have a home on wheels and just pay my
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: rent to wherever I park for three and a half,
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: four months. Once it's over, I come back home and
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: do what I'm supposed to do, prepare for the following
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: fall and go back down. I'm not dealing with snow anymore.
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: I like it, but at my age now, I say,
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: I don't have to deal with this no more. So
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: I make sure the house and everything is secure, and
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: I go south.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: A lot of people do. A lot of people do.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: So you think we're going to have, according to your
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Weather Channel viewing, we're going to have a bad winter with...
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Sometimes with El Nino, it goes either way. You can
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: have a real mild winter, or you can have a
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: real bad one. It's one of the two.
• 29:08
  Speaker 24: Well.
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: I'm telling you, when you go home or when you
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: went to work, notice the trees. Notice the leaves. Usually
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: by this time, leaves are blowing all over the place.
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: The trees are still full with leaves on them, even
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: though they're slowly turning in color. I mean, it's going
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: to be a late fall.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: I don't agree with that. Usually, from my perspective, and
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I pay attention to this kind of stuff, usually the
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: leaves don't really start coming down big time until you
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: get beyond Halloween. It's after Halloween that they start coming
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: down because you really got between Halloween and Thanksgiving or something.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: December 1st really to clean them all up. And then
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: usually the weather turns to crap if you're lucky sometime
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: in December. If it turns drizzly and rainy, it makes
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: it hard to clean up the leaves.
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: Well, when I'm down there, I'll tell you what, I'll
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: give you a courtesy call, and maybe one day I'll
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: run into Fort, what is his name, Fort Frank?
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you go to Fort Lauderdale and see Fort Lauderdale Frank. Absolutely.
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, if I do that, I'm going down there
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: to see that coral castle that the little guy mysteriously built. So, yeah,
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: I'll go by Fort Frank there and, you know, give.
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: You a holler.
• 30:14
  Speaker 10: Amen.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Good hearing from you. Nice hearing your voice.
• 30:16
  Speaker 9: Yeah, take care.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Interesting guy. Calls it as he sees it,
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: and he's absolutely right. It's a liberalism that creates all
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: these problems that we see. We don't have parents that
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: are parents anymore. They don't discipline their kids. They don't
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: make sure that they go to school. They just don't.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: These kids are out of control. Where's the parenting? Like
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: my father would say, all men are created equal until
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: the first school bell rings. Where is that mentality? Where
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: are parents to make sure you go to bed, do
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: your homework, go to school? You know what the dropout
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: rate should be out of high school? Zero. There shouldn't
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: be a parent that allows a kid to drop out, period.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Should be zero. Where's the parents? Because too often these
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: kids are coming from broken homes. Hell, in many cases
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: in this day and age, the people that bring the
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: child in the world don't even get married, which is crazy.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, what's better in life than having children and
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: being parents as a couple and raising those kids and
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: watching them grow and seeing how they turn out? Isn't
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: that what life is really all about? You're on the air.
• 31:31
  Speaker 13: Wow, dude, Coral Castle. He busted out the Coral Castle.
• 31:35
  Speaker 13: You're living up to the Kingdom of Mahoning moniker. Good grief,
• 31:40
  Speaker 13: Coral Castle. Edward Leaskownian. How many times do I hear
• 31:44
  Speaker 13: about that on Coast to Coast AM?
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but this guy is.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: He's frustrated. He calls it as he sees it. And see,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: this is why I admire him as a caller. It's
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: an old bull crap call. He's saying this is craziness
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: what's going on. The guy that called with the house
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: shot up in his neighborhood. At some point you get
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: tired of all the talk and all the action. It's
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: like I say, why is it that it's like everything
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: in government has to be in a city of Youngstown? No,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: it doesn't. This is Mahoning County. OK, it's it's the county.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: It's OK to have the Board of Elections be somewhere
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: else other than in Youngstown. It is quite OK. We're
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: all county taxpayers. And guess what? It's OK to put
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: stuff elsewhere.
• 32:31
  Speaker 13: Well, it is, and if you have a slush fund
• 32:33
  Speaker 13: going there and your buddies have the place and you're
• 32:37
  Speaker 13: renting off of them, it happens everywhere.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: I just think it's absolutely ridiculous in my humble opinion.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: It's like, okay, you mean to tell me we can't
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: put something in Boardman, like a board of elections in Boardman,
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: God forbid, where a lot of people are, or in Austintown? Somehow, oh,
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: this is we can't do this. Everything's got to be
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: in Youngstown, just like this government center that they're going
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: to be building that no one had to say so
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: on or a vote on. But you're going to get
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: the bill for it. You're going to get the debt
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: that comes from it. But you didn't have any input
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: on it whatsoever. We're going to buy Eastern Gateway. We're
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: going to rip this down and we're going to build
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: all this kind of stuff. I don't know any building
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: project that doesn't go over budget. when it's all said
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: and done, and you wait and see. It'll be a
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: pain in the arse to go park. Everything will be
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: just a nightmare. It is not done with the customers,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: to quote George McKelvey, with the customers in sight. So
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: what's convenient for the customers? It certainly isn't locating it
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: where they're going to locate it. But they don't care.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. It's like, okay, shut up. This is
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: what we're doing. Here's the bill. And, hey, if you
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: vote us out of office, it's a done deal. There's
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: nothing you can do about it. See you later. That's
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: the arrogance of what's going on.
• 34:00
  Speaker 13: And the next ones are going to do the same thing.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately.
• 34:04
  Speaker 13: And don't take it personal, Youngstown, because the same exact
• 34:08
  Speaker 13: thing happens in Allegheny County and Pittsburgh. The same exact
• 34:12
  Speaker 13: thing happens everywhere else the same way.
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 34:16
  Speaker 13: They're all crying now. Oh, people aren't coming downtown. Oh,
• 34:20
  Speaker 13: our buildings are empty.
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 34:22
  Speaker 13: Well, if you didn't shut everybody down and make us
• 34:26
  Speaker 13: all insane people wearing masks that didn't work, it wouldn't
• 34:29
  Speaker 13: be like that.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: And can you imagine this? Because you bring up an
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: excellent point. If you believe the polls, and quite frankly anymore,
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: they're questionable to me. I'll just tell you. If you
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: believe the polls, you have to explain to me, all
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: of you that are out there with your Amy Acton signs,
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: you're going to have to explain to me how on
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: God's green earth you think she's qualified to be governor.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: She quit as the state's doctor during COVID. She couldn't
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: take the criticism and the heat as the state's doctor
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: during COVID, and she quit. So, OK, so now she
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: wants to be governor. OK, so let me get this straight.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: So now you want to be governor, but you couldn't
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: handle the pressure of being the state's doctor and you
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: won't debate. You won't have a debate with Ramaswamy. Now,
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: wait a minute. There's two candidates, Ramaswamy and her. Don't
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: you think the voters should have in this governor's race
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: should be able to listen and have a debate? But
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: you're afraid to debate Ramaswamy? Well, how can you function
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: as governor? You quit as the doctor of the state.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: You won't debate your opponents. But yet you want people
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: to vote you for governor. How does that make a
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: lick of damn sense to anybody? You know, I just
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: put that out there. How does that make a lick
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: of sense to anybody? That's what I want to know.
• 35:55
  Speaker 13: How can you argue with it?
• 35:56
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 35:57
  Speaker 13: You won't answer questions. You won't have a debate.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, so like these people have pointed out to me,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: how is it that Lauren McNally wants to be your
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: commissioner in Mahoning County, but she has a horrible attendance
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: record in the House? So she was collecting a paycheck
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: but not showing up to vote on stuff. I mean,
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: I don't understand that. You know, from these... People would
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: say she has a terrible attendance record. Well, wait a minute.
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: You ran.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: You were elected to this job. Why didn't you show up?
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: But now you say, well, forget all that. None of
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: this stuff makes a lick of sense to me as
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: an informed person.
• 36:37
  Speaker 13: Thank you. Let's get to the real issue here.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 36:42
  Speaker 13: You got me thrown off on the old Coral Castle.
• 36:45
  Speaker 13: You're the blame for the goddamn Indians being down because
• 36:52
  Speaker 13: during the game over the weekend, you kept coming on
• 36:54
  Speaker 13: every five minutes saying, hey, I'm Ron Verb. I'll see
• 36:57
  Speaker 13: you at 3 p.m. on Monday. I was sitting here
• 37:00
  Speaker 13: at 3 p.m. on Monday wanting to talk about the Indians,
• 37:03
  Speaker 13: and you weren't here. But yet you said it all
• 37:06
  Speaker 13: day long during the game. See you on Monday. I'm like,
• 37:11
  Speaker 13: it's Ron Verb, a politician now? Is he a Democrat?
• 37:14
  Speaker 13: He's just lying to us?
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yes.
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: Absolutely.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Because guess what? When Monday came around, I was still
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: on vacation.
• 37:24
  Speaker 13: Congratulations.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: You don't know how grueling it is. I mean, I
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: was off, what, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I was
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: off that period of time. Sometimes, you know, I need
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: a break, too.
• 37:41
  Speaker 13: And you deserve it, Ron.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Right. Life isn't forever. Life isn't forever.
• 37:47
  Speaker 13: Did you hear the news that I just heard today?
• 37:51
  Speaker 13: And sometimes I'm paying attention, sometimes I'm a little busy,
• 37:55
  Speaker 13: but it's on. And I really think I heard some
• 37:59
  Speaker 13: news from the Ohio legislature that they're going to pass
• 38:05
  Speaker 13: something that says there has to be life education from
• 38:08
  Speaker 13: 6th grade to 12th grade. And I was waiting. I'm like,
• 38:12
  Speaker 13: are you going to tell us what that means? And
• 38:14
  Speaker 13: they did. And they said, like, get at least a
• 38:17
  Speaker 13: high school education. Don't get knocked up before you get this.
• 38:22
  Speaker 13: Keep a full-time job. Get married before you get knocked up.
• 38:27
  Speaker 13: And I'm like, wow, did you hear that? Did you
• 38:31
  Speaker 13: hear that news?
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: The news of getting married before you get knocked up
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: and this kind of stuff?
• 38:36
  Speaker 13: No, no. Did you hear that on the news today
• 38:39
  Speaker 13: where they wanted to put that into public school education?
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Well, you should put in a... Of course you should.
• 38:46
  Speaker 9: Is this so controversial?
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Here's a statement, and boy, this is controversial. Hey, it's
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: probably a good idea when you bring children into this world,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: which is a gift, I mean, truly a gift from God,
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: that you as the mother and father stick around and
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: give that kid, raise that child and give them an
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: intact home and try to produce a productive citizen. All
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, when you have children, it's not about
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: you anymore. It's about your family. I don't understand why
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: people can't get that through their head.
• 39:17
  Speaker 8: Do you?
• 39:19
  Speaker 13: Well, because they're not– because they're never taught it. So
• 39:23
  Speaker 13: that's why I think this bill hopefully is going to
• 39:28
  Speaker 13: be a thing and then spreads around the country. because
• 39:31
  Speaker 13: you're leaving people out who got shafted by their quote-unquote parents, right?
• 39:37
  Speaker 13: We always say, oh, well, this happened in school. What
• 39:40
  Speaker 13: about the parents? The parents ain't doing anything. You think
• 39:43
  Speaker 13: these kids have parents? You're putting an S on the
• 39:46
  Speaker 13: end like they have parents. What did Chris Rock say?
• 39:49
  Speaker 13: If you're calling your grandma mom and calling your mama Pam,
• 39:54
  Speaker 13: you ain't saving for college. You're saving for bail money, right?
• 39:57
  Speaker 13: It's like your cowboy collar that was just on.
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: That's exactly it.
• 40:02
  Speaker 13: But it starts there. You know, and I always hear
• 40:07
  Speaker 13: the argument.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Now, stand by, stand by. I've got to pause.
• 40:09
  Speaker 17: Hang on.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Hold that thought. I'm coming back with more. Ron Verp
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: taking it. We're conversating, as they say, till 5 today,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: then the legal show 5 to 6. John Arnold, Money Talks,
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: 6 to 7.
• 40:24
  Speaker 25: Two-for-one AC and heating inspections for just $ 49 from A
• 40:26
  Speaker 25: to Z. For 35 years, thousands of our friends.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: 570 WKBN. Hidey-ho, boys and girls, 355 in the afternoon.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: And Jake is on a rant. On a rant. Like
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: a crazy man.
• 40:42
  Speaker 13: You can't. It just doesn't work. And you have the
• 40:47
  Speaker 13: people whine and nitpick and pick the exception, not the rule.
• 40:52
  Speaker 13: Look at everybody in jail, in prison, right? 85% of
• 40:56
  Speaker 13: them didn't grow up with a dad in the home.
• 40:59
  Speaker 13: And some of them didn't grow up with any parent
• 41:02
  Speaker 13: in the home. You've got to start with that. Like
• 41:05
  Speaker 13: your dad said, everybody's equal. That part's not exactly true
• 41:11
  Speaker 13: because you don't start out with two parents in the
• 41:13
  Speaker 13: home that care about you. Even if one ain't doing
• 41:17
  Speaker 13: exactly the right thing, maybe the other is.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Now, here's the rub on that, though. And make no mistake,
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: that's not to say that you don't have single-parent households
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: that raise good kids. Correct. Because you can have an
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: intact family that raises lousy kids just as you can
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: have a single home that raises good kids. You need
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: committed parents. to their children and to their family that
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: have the philosophy of, you're going to go to school,
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: you're going to pay attention, we're going to make sure
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: you don't get stuck, help you with your homework, we're
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: going to mold you to make you into a productive citizen.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: I've said it a million times. Do you think I
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: wanted to get up on a Sunday morning and go
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: to church? My mother would drag me off and the
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: rest of my brothers to church, and it was like
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: you wanted to sleep in. It was Sunday. But the
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: whole goal of it was to give you a conscience,
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: as she would say. So when I'm not looking, God's
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: always looking. So you get the fear of God in
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: you and that kind of stuff. Well, guess what? That's
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: how you get a conscience. That's how you learn right
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: from wrong, right?
• 42:22
  Speaker 13: Absolutely. And again, like the other caller was saying, Michael Savage, liberalism,
• 42:28
  Speaker 13: leftism is a mental disorder.
• 42:30
  Speaker 18: Well, it is.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: They want me to accept everything. Hey, here's a guy
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: in a dress. I saw a guy at the airport.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: This is a guy. Seriously, a man dressed as a woman.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, walking like a man. But he's dressed as
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: a woman, sits down, crosses his legs like a man.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: But he's dressed up as a woman. Now, I'm supposed
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: to look at this as normal? Like this is perfectly normal,
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: just another day, no oddity here. I looked at it
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: as this is really weird. Dude, you need some help.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: You've got to go see a psychiatrist.
• 43:09
  Speaker 13: As limp-wristed and as establishment as these Republicans can be.
• 43:15
  Speaker 13: You can't vote for a Democrat. I'm sorry. Whether it's
• 43:19
  Speaker 13: a leftism, whether it's a socialism, whether it's an Islamism,
• 43:23
  Speaker 13: whether it's a transgenderism, it doesn't matter. It's only one
• 43:28
  Speaker 13: party that does it.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Yes, right. There are major differences between Republicans and Democrats.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: And even if I have to hold my nose sometimes,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: because sometimes it is a lesser two evils, I cannot
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: vote for a Democrat. I mean, I cannot vote for
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: that philosophy. It's just too damn goofy. And I'm telling you,
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: if Amy Acton and Sherrod Brown win, God help Ohio.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: God help.
• 43:54
  Speaker 13: Absolutely.
• 43:55
  Speaker 23: God bless Ohio.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, more Amy Acton than Sherrod Brown. But I'll be
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: right back. Stay tuned.

• 48:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's the boss lady.
• 48:27
  Speaker 24: Oh, my God.
• 48:27
  Speaker 13: Listen, you sound so.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: I'm stressed out today.
• 48:30
  Speaker 9: What?
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: What's wrong?
• 48:31
  Speaker 13: I'm stressed out today.
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: Oh, my God.
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: Did you.
• 48:34
  Speaker 24: There's so many things, Ron. But then I wasn't even
• 48:37
  Speaker 24: going to call about them. I thought, you know what?
• 48:39
  Speaker 6: I'll give it till Monday.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: No, no. Snap out of it, boss lady. I don't
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: want to hear you like this. You sound sad, defeated.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: Boss lady, what's going on? Tell me.
• 48:49
  Speaker 8: I'm like a.
• 48:49
  Speaker 7: All right, well, now listen.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: I'm like a priest.
• 48:50
  Speaker 24: You just irked my ears up. Your last caller telling
• 48:53
  Speaker 24: me about this Senate bill. They call it the success sequence. Graduate, work, marry. Okay.
• 49:01
  Speaker 24: I'm impressed. So this is what is enraging me. Every
• 49:07
  Speaker 24: single time we come up with some stupid bill like this,
• 49:10
  Speaker 24: it's going to force the schools to do stupid other tasks.
• 49:13
  Speaker 24: Those tasks cost the school districts money. What do you
• 49:17
  Speaker 24: think happens when we push the cost to the schools?
• 49:20
  Speaker 6: Districts?
• 49:20
  Speaker 24: So now the schools have to create some stupid course
• 49:24
  Speaker 24: between this grade and this grade that teaches kids the
• 49:27
  Speaker 24: dumbest thing I ever heard. No kidding. Graduate, work, marry.
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 49:32
  Speaker 24: So now the schools have to pay for it. Who
• 49:34
  Speaker 24: did the state legislators think that ultimately falls on?
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: And let me ask you this.
• 49:42
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 49:42
  Speaker 24: Don't you think we're going to pay for this?
• 49:45
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: It's common sense. You shouldn't have to be taught it anyway.
• 49:49
  Speaker 24: And you know what? We're conservatives. Aren't we staying the
• 49:53
  Speaker 24: heck out of this crap? Less government. When did these
• 49:57
  Speaker 24: people start to think that the party, the conservative party,
• 50:01
  Speaker 24: was for more government?
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: No. No.
• 50:04
  Speaker 24: What's happening?
• 50:04
  Speaker 16: Oh.
• 50:20
  Speaker 11: Oh, yeah.
• 50:21
  Speaker 17: Oh, yeah.
• 50:22
  Speaker 24: I mean, I've been digging into nonprofits for days since
• 50:25
  Speaker 24: last weekend, and all I find is fraud. More questions
• 50:29
  Speaker 24: unanswered than I have answers for. And I mean, I
• 50:33
  Speaker 24: have about six that I have my eye on right now.
• 50:35
  Speaker 10: Really?
• 50:36
  Speaker 24: Yeah.
• 50:37
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 50:38
  Speaker 24: Bunch of questions. So now we have this Eastern Gateway
• 50:44
  Speaker 24: that has now indicted millions. I think it was a
• 50:51
  Speaker 24: Is it $ 100 million? I don't know.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: You're talking to college?
• 50:56
  Speaker 24: Yeah, that Eastern Gateway. Eastern Gateway Community College.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: Well, what were they doing?
• 51:04
  Speaker 24: Oh, they were taking... The way that I understand it
• 51:09
  Speaker 24: is they were enrolling students that were poor, letting them take...
• 51:15
  Speaker 24: accepting as payment only for what the government would give
• 51:19
  Speaker 24: them as financial aid. And then the other kids that
• 51:24
  Speaker 24: came in that weren't getting financial aid, I guess they
• 51:27
  Speaker 24: weren't reimbursing them, but then they must have been. I
• 51:30
  Speaker 24: think there was one and a half million that they're
• 51:33
  Speaker 24: saying these people took on top of. But it was
• 51:39
  Speaker 24: a Pell Grants.
• 51:41
  Speaker 9: They were playing with.
• 51:43
  Speaker 24: It's a big, shady, shim-sham, flippity-flam, and you know.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: Sounds like something with Somalia.
• 51:52
  Speaker 24: Oh, no, it's exactly that, yeah. Yeah, Ohio Auditor reported
• 51:57
  Speaker 24: 44 findings and more than $ 17 million in questions, federal
• 52:03
  Speaker 24: student aid costs between 2022 and 2023. And then as
• 52:06
  Speaker 24: they were failing.
• 52:10
  Speaker 24: Lauren McNally, you know how I talk about how the
• 52:15
  Speaker 24: legislators get in their cars and they drive up to
• 52:17
  Speaker 24: Columbus and they want to be real proud of bringing
• 52:19
  Speaker 24: back grant money?
• 52:21
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 52:22
  Speaker 24: Yeah, well, Lauren went up there after they were already
• 52:25
  Speaker 24: in fiscal, I mean, they were in financial trouble big time.
• 52:28
  Speaker 24: She brought $ 221, 000 in state-approved equipment for them. And this
• 52:37
  Speaker 24: is what I'm seeing as a pattern. We know that
• 52:39
  Speaker 24: an organization is in trouble and then we're still giving
• 52:44
  Speaker 24: them grant money. We're giving them the county's giving them money,
• 52:49
  Speaker 24: taxpayer dollars because nobody cares. I'm looking at Boys and
• 52:52
  Speaker 24: Girls Club of Youngstown that just shut their doors.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: Well, they got to go through an audit.
• 52:57
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 52:58
  Speaker 24: Yeah, they got big problems over there.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: No, I do.
• 53:01
  Speaker 24: The Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation.
• 53:04
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 53:05
  Speaker 24: Pretty much a big joke, too.
• 53:06
  Speaker 7: No, wait a minute.
• 53:07
  Speaker 24: Just this morning, we gave $ 37, 000 to a private landlord.
• 53:13
  Speaker 24: So this guy bought a home in Youngstown for $ 17, 000.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 53:19
  Speaker 24: Um, well, wait, was it 17? I think it was 17,
• 53:22
  Speaker 24: 17 or 13. I got to remember. I had so
• 53:24
  Speaker 24: many numbers running through my head at this point. I
• 53:25
  Speaker 24: can't even keep it all straight. He bought this on
• 53:27
  Speaker 24: a foreclosure. Somebody lost this home to property taxes.
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: Oh my God. I thought that never happened.
• 53:35
  Speaker 10: No. Yeah, that happened.
• 53:36
  Speaker 24: So they, Oh wait, no, it was a $ 11, 000. This
• 53:39
  Speaker 24: man bought this duplex. Um, And you know what we
• 53:43
  Speaker 24: did today in the commissioner's meeting?
• 53:45
  Speaker 6: What?
• 53:45
  Speaker 24: We gave a private contractor $ 37, 000 to do lead removal,
• 53:50
  Speaker 24: hazard removal, of a private landlord's house.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Well, that doesn't make sense.
• 53:59
  Speaker 24: Well, no kidding. I mean, why would I have to
• 54:01
  Speaker 24: pay for this man? Bought $ 11, 000 foreclosed home. It should
• 54:05
  Speaker 24: be on him to get the lead removed. It's not
• 54:08
  Speaker 24: on me to remove the lead.
• 54:09
  Speaker 26: In his house.
• 54:10
  Speaker 24: I mean, can someone come do something for me?
• 54:11
  Speaker 20: I mean, someone do.
• 54:12
  Speaker 7: Move my lawn!
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: You know, the bottom line is this. If it is
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: as you describe, it doesn't make any sense. However, and
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: I want to get back to that, and I will
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: get back to that. However, I do find myself disagreeing
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: with you on one thing, Boss Lady. Now, just listen
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: to me because I'm going to appeal to your... You're
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: better angels, okay?
• 54:31
  Speaker 24: Okay.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: All right, just relax. Because, you know, whether I like
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: it or not, grants are a reality. And they're there,
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: and I understand what your argument is. But I would
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: rather the grant come to us than go to someone
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: else in this particular case.
• 54:45
  Speaker 24: I hear you are, but I hear it.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: No, but let me finish. Let me finish, because this
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: is what... Boy, you sound like you're really down.
• 54:55
  Speaker 10: All right, go ahead.
• 54:56
  Speaker 24: I know what you're going to say, but I'll let
• 54:58
  Speaker 24: you go.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, let me finish though, okay? Thank you for your tolerance.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: And all I'm asking for is a little bit of
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: mercy here. All right, so you were talking about the
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: log cabin over there in Austintown the other day and
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: the grant money on that. But keep in mind, because
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: I do live in Austintown, that is a historical building
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: that was discovered in Austintown. It is the history of
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: the community. And in my opinion, it's the history of
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: the community. And to get the grant, to get a
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: grant to be able to restore... the areas of it
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: that need to be restored to bring it back to
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: its time frame, if you will, I don't think it's
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: a bad thing. I think it's a good thing for
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: the community as a whole because it is the history
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: of the community. And if that grant money didn't go
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: to do that, it would go somewhere else for something else,
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: not around here.
• 55:49
  Speaker 10: It should go to the schools.
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: But no, no, no. Everything shouldn't go to the schools.
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is– the schools use it– This is
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: a building that's the history of a community. So I
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: don't have a problem with grant money assisting police departments.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with grant money if you
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: can get grant money first.
• 56:10
  Speaker 24: I have a problem with grant money assisting nonprofits. I
• 56:14
  Speaker 24: have a problem with them picking and choosing where my
• 56:18
  Speaker 24: income tax dollars go.
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: But for a historic building in a community... That, I think,
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: is good use of grant money. That's all I'm saying
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: in that particular case. And you know the courage it
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: takes for me? Folks, this is like putting your hand
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: in the mouth of a lion, folks. This is what
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: I'm doing right now. This is the courage it takes
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: for me. I want a dog park.
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: I want a dog park.
• 56:41
  Speaker 24: Should they pay for one for me? Because I love
• 56:43
  Speaker 24: my dog so much, I want a dog park.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: Well, there is a dog park.
• 56:47
  Speaker 14: You like the old building.
• 56:48
  Speaker 24: You like the log cabin.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: It's a historic building that they got a grant. They
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: can redo it. That's what happens with these historic buildings.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: And I think that's something good to.
• 57:02
  Speaker 7: Do.
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: Now, you want a dog park. Incidentally, there is a
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: dog park in Boardman, just so you know. So you're
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: not that far from a dog park.
• 57:09
  Speaker 24: I think you actually have to pay for it, to
• 57:11
  Speaker 24: be honest. Which is a whole other topic.
• 57:13
  Speaker 6: For another day.
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: Do you really? I didn't know that. I thought it
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: was part of the park.
• 57:18
  Speaker 24: Oh, no, I think you actually have to pay for that.
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure about that.
• 57:21
  Speaker 24: And I think you pay for that anyway.
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: I think Jason Lurie, when he was township administrator, was
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: the guy behind getting that dog park there, where your
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: dog could go out and run and that kind of stuff.
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: But I don't know that I would want that.
• 57:35
  Speaker 24: I want my lawn mowed.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 57:37
  Speaker 9: For free.
• 57:38
  Speaker 24: Instead of you coming to do a tax abatement in
• 57:40
  Speaker 24: that man's house that he bought for $ 11, 000 on foreclosure.
• 57:43
  Speaker 17: No, no.
• 57:44
  Speaker 7: I want you to come mow my lawn.
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: No, because you can afford to pay somebody to mow
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: your lawn. Here's the reality.
• 57:49
  Speaker 24: I don't care.
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: If you're a senior citizen, maybe with the senior levy,
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: you can get all kinds of stuff for free. You
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: might as well try that. I mean, it is ridiculous,
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: some of the stuff that is being done. What I'm
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: saying to you is... Grants exist, and as they do exist,
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: then I think going after them for certain things is
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: not a bad thing, because if we don't get them...
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: Here's the problem.
• 58:13
  Speaker 7: Hang on.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: I'm not done. Hand in the mouth of a lion, folks.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: Because if we don't get them, they're going to go
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: somewhere else. So if we got a grant, then to
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: fix up the log cabin, that's a good thing. If
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: you can get a grant to put up, you know,
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: help your police departments or.
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: Make an infrastructure improvement. There's nothing wrong with that because
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: if you don't get it, it's going to go somewhere else.
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: Just hear me out.
• 58:37
  Speaker 18: On that, boss.
• 58:37
  Speaker 24: The oversight of all of this is garbage and baloney,
• 58:40
  Speaker 24: and we're getting fleas.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm not saying.
• 58:43
  Speaker 20: These.
• 58:43
  Speaker 24: Entities are getting all this grant money and running at
• 58:45
  Speaker 24: a deficit year over year.
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. I am like... on the edge of
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: my seat in fear, folks. Here's the.
• 58:52
  Speaker 24: Is that your baby aspirin?
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, I do. And I'm not going to let her
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: intimidate me too much, but I am a little bit scared.
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: But here's the reality. I'm not saying all grant money
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: is a good thing, because if you're saying to me
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: they piss a lot of it away, I'm going to
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: give you an aye-aye, Captain. Really, because that's true.
• 59:13
  Speaker 7: It's the source.
• 59:14
  Speaker 24: Of how they can throw this money.
• 59:20
  Speaker 24: And not be accountable for it. And that's what's happening.
• 59:23
  Speaker 7: It's the source.
• 59:24
  Speaker 24: It's the nonprofits and the grant money that are funding
• 59:28
  Speaker 24: bad behaviors. And then they go hands off. And nobody's
• 59:32
  Speaker 24: overseeing how it's... I'm not saying that there's never been
• 59:36
  Speaker 24: a grant that has actually provided something. I'm saying I
• 59:39
  Speaker 24: don't care at this point because I've seen so much waste,
• 59:43
  Speaker 24: disgusting choices, and the like. But at this point... That's
• 59:50
  Speaker 24: what our income tax money is going to.
• 59:51
  Speaker 6: Okay, that's a large portion.
• 59:53
  Speaker 24: They've got that big lump sum. And they pick and
• 59:56
  Speaker 24: choose who they want that money to go to. And
• 59:58
  Speaker 24: they're picking bad. And the money's getting wasted and abused.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 24: So if you ask me, would I rather that log
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 24: cabin sit there and deteriorate or continue to pump money
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 24: to them so that they can pick and choose the
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 24: boys and girls of Youngstown that is obviously a big problem,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 24: giving grants to the East Gateway. It's a huge problem.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 24: Money was being stolen from there, giving money to all
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 24: these other entities that I'd say, yeah, no, shut it down.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 24: Shut it down, starve the beast, because we can't trust it.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 24: That's the way that the money, this is how they're
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 24: feeding them.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: It's the grant money. Okay, I'm not saying that there
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: isn't grant money that doesn't get pissed away. However, the
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: grant money for the log cabin is okay with me.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 7: It's part of the history.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 24: I don't know if there's any shade going on there.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: There's no shade. They're going to use it to fix
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: it up and restore it. I mean, it was discovered
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: by accident.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 18: Maybe not, but it's not a.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 24: Bragging point, and it's in poor taste. You're fixing up
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 24: a 100-year-old home and somebody else is losing theirs.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: It's the history of the community.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 9: Come on, man.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 10: I get it. Do you ever go there?
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 24: Are you going to go there and visit?
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: Like when you went to your homeland, didn't you? When
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: you went back to Italy.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, you saw a lot of old stuff there, right? Centuries. Yeah, well,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: there's something about history and preserving some of it.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 24: Yeah, but you know what? They used them there. Here,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 24: we tear a school down in 30 years because we
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 24: can't use it no more. We can't.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 30: We have to have new buildings.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: Well, you're right about that.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 24: That's what we do here. That's what we do. How
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 24: many empty buildings are sitting in Mahoning County right now?
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 10: But we got to go build a new.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 30: 60 to escape to New York.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 7: State of York building.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 9: Got to have downtown Youngstown.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: How about these people in Canfield? They're looking at a five-year.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: And nothing is ever five years. It never goes away
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: in five years. You know what they do in five years?
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: It's just a renewal. That's the game. Okay, but they're
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: looking at a five-year, 5.9 mil operating levy, which would
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: cost $ 207 per year per $ 100, 000 of property value That's
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: on top of the taxes you're already paying. Now, that's
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: a huge levy. I don't give a damn what anyone says. $ 207.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: I think it's.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 24: Going down in fiery flames. I don't know one person
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 24: who's saying yes to that levy.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: You'll see signs for it. But, you know, how many
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: houses in Canfield easily are going to be $ 250, 000, $ 350, 000, $ 400, 000?
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: So let me figure this out.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 24: You're going to buy a house and cancel for $ 100, 000
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 24: right now.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: That's right. So let's just say $ 300, 000. property value. I'll
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: even say $ 250, 000. I would even go lower than that.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: So what they're saying is you would have to pay
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: on $ 200, 414 And that's without MCBDD? Yeah, $ 414. And that's
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: on a $ 200, 000 house. You know, if you go $ 250, 000,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: I think that would be, let's go $ 250, 000 just as
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: an example. And that's probably low. Let's be realistic. In Canfield,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: that's probably low. So you would be looking at... Hang
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: on a second, boss lady. I'm doing the math in
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: my head, and it's not easy, incidentally. You'd be looking
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: at $ 414, $ 514. You'd be looking at somewhere around $ 520
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: a year additional on top of what you're already paying.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: Additional on top of what you're paying.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 24: $ 200 on top of that if MCBDD passes. That's $ 84
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 24: a year on $ 100, 000.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, and I'm supposed to say, oh, that's no
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: big deal. Well, it is a big deal. I mean,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: that's a lot, a lot of burden to put on
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: people on top of what they're already paying. I mean,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: it's like, Jesus, how much more do they expect? And
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: here's what my argument is. Here's what these people don't understand.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: They do not understand the damage that they're doing. Stand by,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: boss lady. Are you calming down a little bit? You know, folks,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: I am like, it's like putting my hand over a fire.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: That's how dangerous this is. Well, by now you should.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 23: All right.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: Boss lady has me all frazzled.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 24: People need to start watching the money. Nobody's watching the money.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, but the reality is everybody can make an
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: argument for everything. I mean, there isn't anybody, and I
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: shouldn't say that. I mean, me, you, Denise. Who's there
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: to represent the homeowner? Who's there to represent the person responsible?
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: that's the forgotten person, the person who has to part
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: with their hard-earned money. Listen to me for a second,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: boss lady. It's the fruits of your labor, folks. Your
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: money is the fruits of your labor. It's what you've
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: exchanged your time for. And the government's The government's taking
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: more and more of that makes it more difficult for
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: you to spend your money on what you want and enjoy,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: whether that's going on a vacation, going out to eat,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: saving for your retirement, paying for your kid's college. They
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: make it more difficult as the government takes more and
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: more of your money. Now, here's the reality. With property
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: taxes as high as they are, I mean, and of course,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: everyone gets a vote. Everyone can say they can vote
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: yes or no on this kind of stuff. But I
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: don't know how you ask people to say, hey, on
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: $ 100, 000 house, you got to pay 207 additional dollars. Like
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: I say, I would say 250,000 would not be. Let
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: me just use that as an average. I mean, that's
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: what I'm using as an average. And that's asking people
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: to pay you. A lot of money. That's $ 500- something additional
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: on top of the property tax you're already paying. Now,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: God forbid if the MRDD levy passes on top of that. Now,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: these people that are all for this, do they realize
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: the damage you're doing? See, they don't understand me because
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm here to represent? I want to
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: make it so it's not so damn difficult for young
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: people to buy a home.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 28: Exactly.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: And what makes it difficult? Because if you start having
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: property taxes that are hundreds of dollars a month, like
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: even in my own case, $ 400- something a month in property taxes,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: that is on– if somebody buys your house, that's on
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: top of the payment.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: These goody-two-shoes people are making it difficult for young people
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: to buy a home because the property taxes are so
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: damn expensive on top of what the loan payment would
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: be and the insurance and the electricity and buying the home.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: I am here representing young people being able to buy
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: a home, older people being able to stay in their home,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: and everybody in between.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 7: Go ahead. Go ahead.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 24: Let me complete this thought.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 24: At the end of the day, people are tapped out.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 24: Okay. And so the state has to solve this $ 18
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 24: to $ 20 billion problem, right? And I'm convinced that the
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 24: more and more we say yes to these levies we
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 24: sign up for... less funding from the state because tell
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 24: the state that we've got it, we'll carry it on
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 24: our home.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 10: Exactly.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 24: So if I say yes to a levy, I'm communicating
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 24: to the state, dear state, I don't need your help, okay?
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 24: But let's say the property, they do not want property
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 24: taxes to go away because if that happens and the
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 24: state has to come in and now fund the schools,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 24: they have less money for the grants and the nonprofits.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 24: And when you look at the compensation that's being reported
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 24: and the benefits on these nonprofits, There's nothing tied. There's
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 24: nothing that says your compensation and your benefits may not
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 24: exceed 15%. So they just keep getting fat and fat.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 24: And I'm telling you, it's kickbacks.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: It's favors.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 24: And this is what's happening. And that is why they
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 24: do not want to fund the schools. And I think
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 24: the schools all need to cut their budgets back, first
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 24: and foremost. I'm telling you what, folks.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: You know what the dream team is for me? Here's
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: my dream team, folks. I'm serious. The world would be
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: a better place if Rich the pharmacist and the boss
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: lady were both county commissioners. I'm telling you right now,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: that would be the dream team. Boss lady, Rich the
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: pharmacist as Mahoning County commissioners. The world would be a
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: better place because... It would just be a better place.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: All right. My hand is intact. I'm no longer afraid.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: My manhood has survived. I get my man card. Thank you,
• 1:08:57

  Speaker 31: In Central Ohio, Jerome Township trustees have voted unanimously to
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 31: terminate Fire Chief Doug Stewart after an investigation into alleged
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 31: policy violations, including appearing in campaign photos and videos while
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 31: wearing his fire uniform. Stewart, who had been on paid
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 31: administrative leave since May 2nd, was also accused of unauthorized communications,
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 31: unprofessional conduct, and insubordination. The investigation has cost the township
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 31: about $ 25, 000 so far, drawing criticism from residents who say
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 31: taxpayer money was wasted, while Battalion Chief Justin French will
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 31: continue as Interim Fire Chief. And Akron Public Schools is

  Speaker 6: Hello.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 7: Ron, hello.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 7: Hold on, let me get this.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 10: All right. Boss lady's dead spot on.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: It's the dream team. You know it's my dream team.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: I don't think I.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 10: Can get an elected dog catcher, to be honest with you,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 10: because I don't have the patience.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: I know, but see, people try to prevent you from
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: getting on stuff because you read. Here's what I often hear.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: You hear me brag about DeSantis in Florida. Here's why
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: I think DeSantis would make a great president and why
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: I think he's a great governor. First, he's a lawyer,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: but what's more important than that is he reads. He reads.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: So he doesn't listen to what you say. He actually
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: reads and is competent to make a decision. I think
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: he's a very bright person. That's why Florida, he's such
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: a great governor in Florida. And I think he would
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: make a terrific president. Well, here's what, here's the, and
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: his philosophies. So you got to throw in his philosophies.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, zero-based budgeting. We don't start at what you
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: got last year and add on to it. We started
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: zero in Florida every year. We started at zero. Now
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: you got to justify everything. And you'd hear DeSantis say,
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: so wait a minute, you want more money for your
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: school system, but yet there's less students. justify that to
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: us because it's hard to do something like that. That's
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: what I think you would get with Rich the pharmacist
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: and the boss lady as in these political offices, because
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: both of them have been successful in the private sector
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: and read and understand this stuff, which most of us
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: don't do. And that's the only argument that's that I'm
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: making on this kind of stuff.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 10: That's all.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: Do you realize the danger I took on this program
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: today in going against the boss lady on a grant
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: to put the money into the log cabin, the history
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: in Austintown? It was very dangerous, but I did it anyway.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: I defended the grant because that's a good thing. But
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: go ahead.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 10: Well, I mean, everybody likes the grants as long as
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 10: they're getting, you know, it benefits them. But when you
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 10: add all of this stuff up, I mean, it's just ridiculous.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: But the reality is, it is the reality. If we
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: didn't get it, it would go somewhere else. It better
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: go here. I'm just dealing with it.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 10: You've got to get on Eastgate because that's the Eastgate
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 10: Council of Governments mentality. You know, suck up as much
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 10: as you possibly can, because if we don't get it,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 10: it's going to go somewhere else.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: But that is true. That is 100% true.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, until.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 10: That's why you're going to spend $ 11 million demolishing the
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 10: Girard Dam on the Mahoning River. That's why you're blowing
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 10: $ 4 million over on the Yankee Run Dam. And granted,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 10: it's going to be nice when it's done, I guess.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: What a ton of money, though.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 10: Do you think the people in the area, if we
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 10: had to pony up that money, would we choose to
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 10: pony up our own money for that? Even though it
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 10: is our own money, but it's just all out of control.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 10: What really kicked me off the other night, I was watching,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 10: I think, KBN the other night, the local news, and
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 10: they interviewed Gino about the new government center. And he
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 10: was just, I mean, pleased as punch that we're going
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 10: to start wrecking the old Eastern Gateway building and start
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 10: building the new 60 million Mahoning County Taj Mahal.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: So your reaction was, good God, right?
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 10: Well, I mean, you know, and I've talked to him,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 10: you know, and I've told him, there's no way in
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 10: hell I can support spending that kind of money on
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 10: that building. I think when Southern Park Mall, when the
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 10: numb nuts that bought Southern Park Mall that are running
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 10: into the ground now bought that, I think they paid, what,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 10: about $ 13 or $ 15 million? It wasn't a lot of money.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 10: Malls are going relatively inexpensively.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm listening.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 10: That mall, all the air conditioning and heating units have
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 10: been replaced. The roof has been replaced. It's actually not
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 10: in bad shape. I mean, you know, it'd be nice
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 10: if they would cut the grass when they were supposed
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 10: to instead of having Boardman Township have to come out
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 10: and do it or threaten to come out and do it.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 10: But let's say you could just eminent domain and pick
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 10: up Southern Park Mall for $ 15 million. You could still
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 10: rent out the spaces to retail. You know, you could
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 10: still rent the to Macy's and Penny's and whoever else
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 10: is out there. But there's so much unused space there
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 10: that you could then tap and use and put government
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 10: services in there. You could see if you could get
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 10: the old Dillard's building off of the Cafaro's. I mean,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 10: there's a ton of space in there. But they don't
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 10: think outside the box.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 10: Look, you've got the Board of Elections buying an old
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 10: school on the south side of... Well, it's actually not
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 10: an old school. It's a relatively new school on the
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 10: south side of Youngstown. What are they going to do
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 10: with it? How does that benefit the taxpayer? Why does
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 10: the Board of Elections have to stay in the city
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 10: of Youngstown? I would like someone to explain that to me.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 10: Because apparently, for some reason, it comes down to poor
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 10: people in the city.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 10: Mostly black, can't vote if you remove that from the
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 10: city limits. So for some reason, they're not going to
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 10: be able to get on a WRTA bus or hop
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 10: in their car and come out to Bourbon or Austin
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 10: town if you put it out there and be able
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 10: to vote. And I just don't understand it. But we're
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 10: going to blow $ 60 million, and you know that $ 60
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 10: million is the estimate, so it'll be $ 80 when it's
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 10: all said and done, on a new Taj Mahal, which is...
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 10: about as far away from most Mahoney County residents as
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 10: you can get, if you think about it. If you're
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 10: in the northeast corner of downtown Youngstown, you're closer, way
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 10: closer to Trumbull County than you are to the vast
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 10: majority of people that live in Mahoney County. So why
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 10: don't you see that building should be centered somewhere near
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 10: Canfield and Austintown, somewhere near the center of the county.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 10: It shouldn't be in downtown Youngstown where there's no parking,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 10: but they're going to build a parking deck. They're wrecking
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 10: one currently. The Eastern Gateway building there has a parking deck.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 10: They're wrecking that one currently so they can build a
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 10: new one. It just doesn't make any sense. These people
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 10: are numb nuts. I would love to see, you know,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 10: I would love to see us actually get competent leadership,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 10: but I'm not going to hold my breath. Although, like
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 10: I've said, if we were to go to a charter
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 10: form of government and you had maybe 15 county councilmen
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 10: that would be elected countywide, you would hopefully get some
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 10: decent leadership in there that knows how to potentially run
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 10: the county better than it's being run right now. Because
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 10: right now it's being run poorly, in my opinion. I
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 10: don't think any of the three of them are worth
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 10: a darn. You disagree?
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: No, I don't disagree. Actually, I'm somewhat disappointed in the
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: guy that ran, Geno the candidate versus Geno the commissioner.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 10: Well, I mean, he was just tickled to death that
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 10: we're going to finally be able to start building this
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 10: $ 60 million Mahoning County Taj Mahal. And I'd like somebody
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 10: to explain, if you could go out and buy a
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 10: commercial building in Boardman for $ 15 million that would satisfy
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 10: your needs, tons of parking, free parking, WRTA already goes
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 10: out there and has multiple stops out there. Why not
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 10: go out and do something like that before you build
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 10: a brand-new building in downtown Youngstown? Which is, like I said,
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 10: as far away from most Mahoning County residents as you
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 10: can get and still be in Mahoning County. They should
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 10: just put it at Hubbard. I mean, that would be
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 10: even more. I think Hubbard's in.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 18: Trumbull County, though, right?
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: So you're saying that the idea that everything has to
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: be in Youngstown is crazy.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 10: It's ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous. And the fact, you know,
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 10: I don't understand this whole black people can't vote unless
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 10: if you move the board of elections out of the city.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 10: I find that hard to believe.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 10: There's no reason for it at all.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: It does make you wonder, doesn't it?
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 10: No, wonder is not what it makes me. It makes
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 10: me angry is what it makes me.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm with you. It doesn't make any sense. The
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: idea of these are county offices, but for some reason
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: they can't be in other parts of the county. And
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: I don't disagree with you. I think it should be
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: in Boardman or Austintown, either one, whether that's a Patriot
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: building or the mall or whatever. I'm in total agreement
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: with you. And I don't care what some reverend has
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: to say about it. What about the rest of the
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: people of this community?
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 10: If you want to keep job and family services down
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 10: in Youngstown, fine. I get that. They mostly service low income,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 10: the vast majority of low incomes in the city, so
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 10: that's fine.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 7: But why does the.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 10: Title bureau have to stay down there?
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 7: Why do all.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 10: These other county offices have to stay down there? Those
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 10: should be where the people, where most of the people
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 10: that need those services live.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 28: Mm-hmm.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 10: And centrally located to them. It's called customer service. I mean,
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 10: any of these people must have never worked retail in
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 10: their lives because they don't understand customer service. You're making
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 10: it as difficult as possible to get to the board
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 10: of elections as you possibly can, putting it where it's
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 10: going to be located. You're making it very difficult to
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 10: get to.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 10: The title agency, if you want to go get, you
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 10: buy a car and you want to get a title,
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 10: and you should have a license bureau with the title bureau.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 10: I mean, if you go down there and get a title,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 10: they can get you plates. They'll mail them to you.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 10: You'll get them in two weeks. Why don't they have
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 10: plates there? I just don't understand. I mean, this is
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 10: just common sense business 101. But these people can't seem.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 7: To figure it out.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: I wish I could give you an explanation of it.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: I just don't think it's fair to the rest of
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: the county, do you? Oh, not at all. I mean,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: I go back to using George McKelvey. What about the customer?
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: You follow me?
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 7: Oh, absolutely.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: At what point do we say it's about the county
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: as a whole, not one section? I mean, my main argument,
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: I go back to say it, I think the economic
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: hub of Mahoning County is Boardman. That's where all the
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: activity is, and that's where it's at. So I have
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: no problem with it being in Boardman. Listen, if you're
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: asking me about this government center that Geno supports and
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: they support, I think it's god-awful. You don't have a
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 2: say-so on it. It was just– this was his big
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: issue when he was running. This was all he was
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: considered about. All he was worried about was Southside. And
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: that's his big issue. And it's like, okay, what else
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: are you doing? I mean, can you tell much difference
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: between him and Ditzler?
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 7: Nope.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 10: Yeah, Ditzler is better. I mean, Ditzler actually.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: Knew what he was doing. I mean, you just sit
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: back and you scratch your head. You say, okay, this
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: was your big issue, that Southside Hospital, and you go
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: with this fiasco, which would go over budget and stick
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: us with the bill for it, as opposed to looking
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: at other places without going through all this rigmarole. It
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: doesn't make a lick of sense to me at all.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: Nothing does.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 6: And.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: Basically, oh, look at where this new facility is located
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: to go vote. It's easy for everybody to go there
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: and stuff. Yeah, well, there's better places. Let's be realistic.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 10: There's better places. If they actually considered what was in
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 10: the best interest of the vast majority of the taxpayers,
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 10: it would not be put where they want to put it. But,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 10: you know, I think the reason the Port Authority bought
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 10: that building and it's costing them a ton of money
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 10: to maintain. So now they were able to find some
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 10: dummy to take it off their hands, and that dummy
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 10: is the Ohoning County taxpayer. It's going to cost.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 6: I think, $ 3.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 10: 5 million just to wreck the building that's there.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine what you... I mean, think about what
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: you're talking about. I mean, I've I don't know what
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: to say.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 10: Before you even lay a brick on the new building,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 10: before you pour a foundation, you've got to wreck a
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 10: giant building that's there that's going to cost, you know,
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 10: that's the estimate, three and a half. What do you
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 10: want to bet it comes in at four and a
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 10: half or five? Because they'll find asbestos or they'll find
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 10: some legacy, you know, lead paint or something that needs remediated.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 10: It won't come in at three and a half million dollars.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. It always goes over budgets, if that's what
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: you're asking me. It always does. Always does. I wish
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: I could.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 10: But when you get into all these grants and you
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 10: get into all this other stuff, I mean, it just,
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 10: I just wish, you know, some of these people would
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 10: get elected and actually serve the taxpayer instead of worrying
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 10: about lining their own pockets. Because I think that's the,
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 10: I think the average reason people run for office is
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 10: for a paycheck. You say that all the time, and
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 10: I think it's 100% true.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: In many cases, it's the best job they've ever had. Right?
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 10: Well, I would think in most cases.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely... I.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 10: Guarantee you, it's the best benefits they've ever had. Because nobody...
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 10: You start looking into these government employees, and you start
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 10: pulling their health care contracts. Like that Educational Service Center.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 10: I pulled contracts from that... Not the SC, the Mahoning County.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 10: Developmental disabilities, only has the levy on this year. I mean,
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 10: you've got the superintendent knocking down $ 160, 000, $ 170, 000 with gold-plated benefits.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 10: I mean, I think their health care benefits are like
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 10: a $ 350 per person deductible, and it's 90-10 after that. Nobody,
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 10: who has a 90-10? Usually when you meet your deductible,
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 10: if you're lucky, if you're in network, it might be 80-20.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 10: Usually it's 70-30, and if you're out of network, it's
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 10: 60-40 or 50-50. These people are 90-10.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, Lord.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 10: I mean, it's stuff that doesn't exist anymore in the
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 10: private sector. It's ridiculous.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: Hang on a second. Let me see who's here.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 7: Wait a minute.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: Hang on a second. You're on the air.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 17: Yeah, it's me, Ron.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 6: How you doing?
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: Well, we're talking about you. Rich is talking about you.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 5: Oh, I know.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 11: And I like Rich, too, and that's okay.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter whether you.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 10: Like it or not. I like Gino, too, but this
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 10: building is ridiculous. Here's the thing, Ron. Ron, here's the thing.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 11: I call you. I'll talk to you. I could make
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 11: my case, and it's my case, and it's my opinion,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 11: and it is what I ran for. And Rich, you
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 11: talk about customer service. So is sending people to the
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 11: Oak Hill Renaissance Center, is that good customer service?
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: Can it be better customer service to not do the building?
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 11: As far as the Board of Elections, it's terrible. But
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 11: where you're putting people is even worse. Where you're putting
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 11: people is no better than Southside. See, I just want
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 11: to correct you on a few things, Rich. We're not
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 11: building a Taj Mahal. We're building a building to house
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 11: government offices.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 10: Number two.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 11: You're dead wrong on the quotes of what it's going
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 11: to cost to tear that down. And that's okay because
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 11: you don't know, but you could go on here and
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 11: you could rip me and say that it's going to
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 11: be $ 5 or $ 6 million.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 10: You're dead wrong.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 11: Those bids came in. No, then you said it's going
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 11: to go to $ 5 or $ 6, but that's okay. You
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 11: were wrong on that, but it's okay.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: No, you know what he said was the cost always
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: go over is what he said.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 7: What's that?
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: He said the cost always go over when you're doing
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: this project.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 11: Ron, that project is $ 60 million. It won't be over.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 11: And that includes, that $ 60 million includes about a 300
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 11: and some space parking deck.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 10: And the old deck. You know, you could get Southern
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 10: Park Mall for $ 15 million. Okay, I won't finish.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 11: Yeah, and Southern Park Mall was built. Southern Park Mall was,
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 11: and how's the parking lot, Rich? Will the parking lot suffice?
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 10: That's the only thing. Repave it. You'll have $ 45 million
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 10: left over. You could repave all of Boardman if you
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 10: wanted for $ 45 million.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 7: That's okay.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 10: You're blowing $ 60 million. What are you going to do
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 10: to the county?
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 11: Blowing $ 60 million.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 10: How much of the county's indebtedness are you going to
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 10: max out at $ 60 million? How much of the county
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 10: credit card are you maxing out? I'd have to.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 11: Well, obviously, we're going to sell bonds for the building
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 11: because that's how governments finance things. we do fight you
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 11: finance stuff you don't you don't pay cash we couldn't
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 11: pay correct you're going.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 10: To sell bonds so rich when we throw 60 million
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 10: dollars on there what's that going to do to our
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 10: credit worthiness and our bond.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: Rate all right hang on guys both of you hang

• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: exterior look. Yes, it's fall, but it's not too late
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: to get this done. Right now, Window Depot Youngstown is
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: taking 75% off installation on their premium siding. You can
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: choose the rich look of real wood. Plus, it improves
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: insulation and heating bills. And their siding can handle the
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: worst that Mother Nature can throw at it. Plus, ask

• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: Window Depot Youngstown, next to Mark's in Boardman. Let me
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 2: put it this way. I think this is a discussion
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: worth having with Gino and Rich when we can just
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: have the two of you talk about this in a
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: conversational tone, not talking over each other. And I would
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: like to do that tomorrow. Tomorrow is Friday. Now, what
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: time would be good for you, Gino, so that you
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: can have a civil conversation?
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 11: Well, honestly, I've got to check my calendar. I don't
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 11: think I have any tomorrow, but I'm not going to
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 11: say honest to God, because then I'll have seven of
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 11: your callers call in and say, oh, he's hiding from you.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: I'm off all day.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 10: Name your time, Gino.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: All right. So Friday would be a good day. I
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: told you, I'll let you know. Friday would be a
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: good day. Well, you've got to let me know.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 11: I'll let you know. Well, Ron, I got your cell.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 11: You never answer when I call you.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe I don't know what you're calling. Maybe that's
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: the problem. Text me instead.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 11: I'll put a bunch of my number. I'll say your
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 11: number one a bunch of times. I'll send you a check,
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 11: and you know that's me.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 10: Now you're going to get 17 of those.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: Just text me and say it's Gino so I know.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: All right. And let me know if you can do
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: it tomorrow. Because if you're off tomorrow, because I want
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: to do it for like an hour. I mean, I
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: want one guy to talk, then the other guy to talk,
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: and then go from there. I think that would be productive.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 11: Can I have two minutes? Because I just got home
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 11: from work now, and I brought Carrie out home, and
• 1:31:03

  Speaker 11: And he has an opinion like everybody has an opinion.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 11: But Rich doesn't know everything that I know, unfortunately. And
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 11: Boss Lady, she's talking about, real quick, I want to
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 11: touch on that. That grant for that home, she says, oh,
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 11: it's not worth it or whatever else.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: Which home?
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 11: That is a HUD grant. The home where we just,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 11: she said, we approve this money.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 2: Okay.

  Speaker 2: Let's hope that the Kingmaker's with us tonight. We've missed him.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: He's always on a roll when he calls, folks. I've
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 2: got to tell you, the biggest response that I get
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 2: from people when a Kingmaker is on is, his life
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 2: is interesting and fascinating, and it's the best legal shows
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 2: you ever do when Dave talks. And they say to me,
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: when you shut up, Ron, and Dave talks and tells stories,
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: those are the best legal shows. Are you there? Turn
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: your microphone on so I can hear you, sir. Or
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: get close to the microphone, whatever the case might be.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: It is the one... No, it's all echoey. You've got
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: to get close. You've got to get close to the mic, Dave.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 2: You should know this kind of stuff. If you get closer,
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 2: it'll be even better for me.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 17: All right.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 8: I can hear you perfect now.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, I can.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: I asked Leo, but our producer.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 8: It says the microphone's working. The microphone is not working. Right.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: Well, it's now working. You can't hear it. It's working
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 2: now for you, David. I can hear you loud and clear.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 7: Welcome, David.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 8: Well, thank you, Ron.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: How's life treating you? All our listeners want to know.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: How's your week gone so far, Dave?
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 8: My week has not gone too good, Ron. I've got
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 8: to be honest.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 10: Really?
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: What seems to be the problem, David?
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 8: There's no problem. Just it's a rough week.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 18: All right.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 2: It's a rough week. All right.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 8: A lot of cases, a lot of problems, you know.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 8: I got my taxes extended until next Thursday, so I'm broke.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 8: I'm tax broke right now. I'm not complaining.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: All right. Somebody keeps wiggling a mic, and they've got
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 2: to stop that on the air. It's driving us all crazy,
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: all right? All right. So that's it? You're broke and
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff, right?
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 8: I can't complain. I'm very happy.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 30: Good.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 10: Good.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 2: Life is good.
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 8: Life is very good.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 8: Frank just joined us.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: All right. Oh, Frank, Frank Assis, the winner. The winner, winner,
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 2: chicken dinner. Ah, Frank, welcome. Frank, the magic of the program,
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: the program just went to the next level. The next level.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 8: I love it when Brian and Frank are here because
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 8: they take it to the next level. Me, I'm in
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 8: the bottom level. Unfortunately, I'll just put this out. You've
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 8: got Rose's wedding to pay for. Forget being broke when
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 8: it comes to the tax man. You better save some money.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 8: You've got a big bill coming. Or no, is it
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 8: her wedding or Joseph's wedding?
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: I forget.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 8: I don't know who's going to get married first.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 8: But, you know, it's about time I had some grandchildren
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 8: is all I have to say.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: They better get busy, right?
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 8: They better get busy is right.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 8: You're absolutely hitting that on all cylinders.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 8: You have grandchildren, don't you, Ron?
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 2: No, I do not.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 8: You do not.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: I don't. No.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 8: You're older than me, too.
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Dave. Thanks for reminding everybody of that. I am
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 2: a little bit older than you.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 2: All right. But welcome, Frank. Good to hear you back
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 2: in the program as always.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 18: Thanks, Ron.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 10: Glad to be here. All right.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: So we got David and Frank.
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 9: Is that it?
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 8: No, Tally's here.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 7: Tally.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 8: Hi, everyone.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 18: How are you?
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: Tally's got to get her mic turned on so that
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 2: we can hear or get close to the mic.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 2: Sooner or later, you guys will figure this all out. Hi, Ron.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 28: How are you?
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 2: I am doing well, Tali. It's nice to hear your voice.
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 2: Welcome back.
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 28: Nice to hear yours.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 18: Thank you.
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: All right. Let's take some calls. What do you guys say?
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I say we should take some calls because I'm sorry,
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 8: once again, our new box isn't in, but we're promised it.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 8: So we can stream it live and you can watch
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 8: us on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram, but we're still live.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 8: Awaiting the new box. There we go.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: There you go. All right. With our attorneys tonight, you're
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: the first call. You're on the air with the attorneys
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 2: from Beatrice Copp. Hello.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 13: Thank you, Ron.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 3: My problem is this. I have a car. It's at
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 3: a garage or at a mechanic's shop. He's never there anymore.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 3: This place appears to be closed. It'll be three weeks
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 3: after this Friday. My car is in the back lot,
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 3: which is grass. It's in this back lot. The whole
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 3: lot is surrounded by fence. You can't get to it. Now,
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 3: my car, you couldn't steal it because the only way
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 3: you could steal it is you'd have to get in
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 3: that back lot. You'd have to break the fence down,
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 3: get a wire cutter and cut the chain that goes
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 3: around the gate. Cut that down and you could open
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 3: the gate, go back there and tow it out. That
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 3: would be about the only way you could get that
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 3: car because it will not start.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 8: Can I just ask you a practical question?
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 8: How is it that your car wound up at a
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 8: place that put it in a backyard with a locked fence?
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 3: Well, because he hasn't been there. I had my coat
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 3: towed there because one day I was across the street
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 3: from the Hauling Plaza and I was at this shop
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 3: and my car wouldn't start.
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 8: I don't know what was wrong with it. Did you
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 8: check anything out about this guy before you had your
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 8: car towed there?
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: Pardon me? Did you check him out before your car
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 2: was towed there?
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 17: Well, yeah, I've had.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 3: Work done by this guy before.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 6: Okay. Okay.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 8: So you've been calling him for three weeks, and you've
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 8: got no answer.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 3: I not only call him, I go right down to
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 3: the shop. There's no one there.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: All right. Now, go ahead, David.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 8: I would call the police now.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 10: I try to get the police involved.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 3: One day I went to Austin. This was in Austintown.
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 3: I went to the police there and talked to the
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 3: lady at the desk. She said, there's nothing we can
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 3: do about that.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 8: I'm not so sure about that.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 3: So what would I.
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 7: Have to do?
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 3: Talk to a police officer?
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 8: Talk to a police officer, and then you'd have to
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 8: sue him in Riplevin to get your property back. He's
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 8: unlawfully holding your property. Is the guy still alive? Is
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 8: he still in town? What's going on?
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 3: I think he might have just flew to Coop or
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 3: he just went bankrupt and he's closing up. I don't
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 3: know if he's in the hospital. I don't know if
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 3: he's still alive. He had his wife there with his
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 3: office person. Then he had another mechanic that was working
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 3: with him. But those people, they were gone. They weren't
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 3: working there when I brought this car there. And it's
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 3: only been him. And now, you know... I should look
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 3: in the phone book and see if his name is
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 3: in the phone book.
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 2: Well, that means nothing if his name's in the phone book.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 3: Well, it might be.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 8: What's a phone book?
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 3: I call the shop up, and.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 10: I leave a message, and they.
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 3: Never call back. I'm only a couple miles away from
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 3: the place. I go down there twice a day to
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 3: see if there's anybody there.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, we got the story. Dave, what do you think
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 2: he should do next?
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 8: Well, I don't know why the police won't get involved.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 8: I mean, he's effectively stolen your car.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 28: Yeah, he's withholding your property unlawfully.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 2: So call him.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 8: I would get a hold of the trustees or call
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 8: the chief and say, look, I want to get my car.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go call a chief and tell him, here's your problem.
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 2: And Attorney Beatrice says it.
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 7: Call me what to do.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm doing.
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 8: And if you can't do that, you're going to have
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 8: to sue him. either for the value of the car
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 8: or in a repellent action to get your property back.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 2: All right, so you might need to get a lawyer.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 8: How much is the car worth, caller?
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 3: The car, I would say the most it could be
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 3: worth is $ 2, 000.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 7: Oh, God.
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 3: It was my old work car. It's my second car.
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 3: I like to drive it in the winter. It's probably,
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know, it's probably at least 17 years old.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 2: All right. So, Dave, it's not worth what a lawyer
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: would cost.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 6: No.
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 8: You can take them to a claims court and sue
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 8: them for $ 2, 000. Let me know how that works out
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 8: for you.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 12: No.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 8: Because you're going to get judgment, and then what are
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 8: you going to do?
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 12: I just don't want you to waste your good money
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 12: at that money caller.
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 2: So try the police.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 8: I would try the police, and I would try that first.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 2: Thank you for your call.
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 28: Have you done a cold plunge lately? You seem on edge.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 6: No.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 8: I'm not on edge. I'm just saying.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: He seems pretty good to me tonight.
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 8: The guy tows a car to someone who then parks
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 8: it in a lot, locks the gate, and He ghosts them.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 8: I mean, and the car's worth $ 2, 000. I mean, he's
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 8: called the police. They said they can't get involved. It's
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 8: a civil matter. But at some point, you know, the
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 8: guy's unlawfully withholding his car. The police could at least
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 8: try to locate the guy for him and see if
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 8: he can't, you know, pull a tow truck in there,
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 8: pay a couple hundred dollars to have the car towed
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 8: to another mechanic to have him fix a $ 2, 000 automobile.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 8: At some point, it becomes... a part of diminishing returns.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 8: That's probably what the junk value of the car is,
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 8: is $ 2, 000. I don't know how much money you want
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 8: to spend to get a $ 2, 000 car running.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 2: There you go. All right. Next call. With our attorneys tonight,
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 2: you're on the air.
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 6: It's an honor to speak to the greatest legal team
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 6: and minds in the entire country. Here's my situation.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 2: You're speaking to them.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 6: Absolutely. I have an 18-year-old granddaughter who lives in North Carolina.
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 6: She lives with her father. Her mother is not in
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 6: the picture at all. And the father has been hospitalized
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 6: for about the last eight months with some serious illnesses.
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 6: He hasn't even been at the house for this last
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 6: eight months. This granddaughter has been working, paying all the bills,
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 6: the mortgage to keep it up, and the father is
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 6: very unhealthy, and he actually could die at just about
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 6: any time. How old is the granddaughter?
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 10: 18.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 28: Is she still in high school, or has she graduated?
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 6: She has graduated high school, and she is 18 years old.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 13: Okay, continue.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 6: The problem that we're concerned with is her name isn't
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 6: on any of the paperwork, and if he dies, she
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 6: doesn't want to lose the house or get kicked out,
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 6: and he's kind of belligerent about things. He's only half
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 6: with his mind, and we're just wondering if he doesn't
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 6: sign any paperwork with her name on it, is there
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 6: anything that she can do to stay in the house,
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 6: or what can she expect if he dies?
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 8: Well, I don't know North Carolina law, but let me
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 8: give you the law in general.
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 6: Okay, good.
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 8: Does he have other children?
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 8: So if he dies without a will, is he married
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 8: or divorced?
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 6: He is not married but not divorced, and he does
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 6: not have a will.
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 8: Well, is he married or no?
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 2: Has he ever been married?
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 6: No.
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 2: So if he dies.
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 8: In most states, the next of kin would be his children.
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 8: So it would be your granddaughter and any other children
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 8: he may have would share in the house unless he
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 8: were to make a will or sign the house over
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 8: to her.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 28: And if he's not competent enough, he might have to
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 28: do like a power of attorney.
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 8: No, if he's not competent, he can't sign a power
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 8: of attorney.
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 28: No, but he might have to be.
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 18: No, you need a guardian if he's not competent. Yeah,
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 18: a guardian, excuse me.
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 28: He has to be held on competent.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 8: Have you talked to him? Is it your son?
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 6: It's our granddaughter. It is not our son. It's our
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 6: daughter's former partner. Let's put it that way. They were
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 6: never married.
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 8: And where's your daughter in all this?
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 6: Well, the last two and a half years, she's been
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 6: in prison.
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 28: I'm sorry to hear that, call her.
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 8: So your granddaughter either needs to come home or figure
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 8: out how she's going to make sure that she doesn't
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 8: get bamboozled out of that money. But how much is
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 8: the mortgage payment she's paying a month?
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 6: Oh, it's like $ 600 or $ 700 a month.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 8: So if she was in an apartment, that's roughly what
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 8: it would run, right?
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 17: Correct.
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 8: So I don't think she's out really anything. You just
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 8: want to make sure that the money she's paying, how
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 8: much equity is in the house, do you know?
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 6: That I do not know. I believe it's probably $ 40, 000
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 6: or $ 50, 000. Of equity? Yes, of equity.
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 8: And how much is the home worth?
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it might be worth $ 100, 000, $ 125, 000. It's not in
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 6: the best neighborhood in North Carolina.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 8: Well, I mean, she's paying the mortgage payment, but if
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 8: she wasn't paying a mortgage payment and she had to
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 8: find an apartment... I'd venture to say it would run
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 8: her that or more for an apartment, correct?
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 6: Yes, I would say that's probably true.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 8: All right, so she's paying for housing, and if he
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 8: doesn't want to leave it to her and he dies,
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 8: then she's going to have to figure out with her
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 8: siblings what they're going to do with the house. Has
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 8: she had a talk with her siblings?
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 2: How many other children are there, caller?
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 6: There are two others. And they are also in North Carolina.
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 6: I actually don't know if she's had any conversations with them,
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 6: but I don't believe she has.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 2: Do they get along?
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 6: Well, they don't fight, but they don't see each other regularly.
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 6: Let's put it that way.
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 2: And they don't live in a house?
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 6: They do not live in a house.
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 8: Does he have any sort of... I don't know how
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 8: she's any further behind is what.
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 2: I'm saying to you.
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 8: I know she's paying the mortgage payment and everything else,
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 8: but I'd venture to say in North Carolina, if she
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 8: was to rent an apartment, that's what it would run
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 8: her or more.
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 3: Correct?
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 6: Let's say yes. So it would be a matter of inconvenience, maybe,
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 6: that the fact that if he dies and she's told
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 6: you can't stay in the house anymore because she doesn't
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 6: own it and isn't on the paperwork, that it would
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 6: be she'd have to gather all her things and relocate?
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 8: Not necessarily. I didn't say that. I said it depends
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 8: on whether he has a will or not and who
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 8: he left that house to in his will.
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 6: Which he does not have a will.
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 8: So if he does not have a will, and I
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 8: don't know North Carolina law, but I could say what
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 8: Ohio law would say, is that it would be divided
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 8: a third, third, and a third amongst the three children
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 8: of his.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 2: So then she would have to buy the other two
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 2: thirds out if she wanted to stay.
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 7: That's correct.
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 6: Okay, I'm going to pass some information along to her.
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 6: Maybe she can get some more details or get him
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 6: to sign the house over to her, which would be
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 6: the smart thing to do.
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 8: That would be the smart thing to do if she
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 8: can afford it and she can make the payments. That
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 8: would be the smart thing to do. Maybe she sells it,
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 8: grabs the $ 40, 000, and tries to upgrade a little bit.
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 8: Maybe she'll have a good job.
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she does.
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 6: She's she's she's paying the bills and keeping up with things.
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 6: So she's not behind. She's just concerned that if he passes,
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 6: that the law is going to come by.
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 8: And now there's some.
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 6: Mechanism just going to say, well, now that he's dead
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 6: and you're not on the deed or the or the mortgage,
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 6: you have to leave.
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 8: The only way that could happen is if he left
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 8: the will and disinherited her out of the house. That's
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 8: the only way that's going to happen.
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 2: Are the taxes getting paid?
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 6: Taxes are getting paid. Everything is up to date. In
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 6: other words, nobody even knows that he's sick and on
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 6: his deathbed.
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 27: Nobody.
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 8: Well, if she can get him to sign the house
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 8: over to her, that would be great. Has she had
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 8: that difficult discussion with him?
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 6: He's only in half of his mind and he's just
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 6: belligerent about it. He said, I don't need to do that.
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 6: I'll be coming home. And he's not going to be
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 6: coming home.
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 8: Well, it's a difficult conversation, but If he wants to
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 8: protect her, he should sign the house over to her.
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 6: He should.
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 2: Keep pushing for that.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 20: Thank you, sir.
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 6: Thank you for the help.
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 2: All right. Thank you. Good luck. Interesting question and dilemma,
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 2: to say the least.
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 8: Don't do it to me.
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 8: Don't do it to me.
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 28: Frank's about to lose his marbles. He's giggling so loud.
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 8: Don't do it to me. Show him. You're not going
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 8: to tease me today about that. Show him. Do not
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 8: do that to me today.
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 18: Have you seen A.I. Beatrice yet, Ron?
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 2: No, I have not.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 12: A.I.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 6: Beatrice.
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not. No, I'm not.
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 18: I'll send you a picture.
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 2: I would like to see AI Beatrice.
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 8: Oh, my God. You see the abuse I take for you, Leo?
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 28: No, listen.
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 12: It wasn't just him. There was an AI of all
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 12: of us, and Frank and I were actually.
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 2: Pretty good looking in AI world.
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 18: No, he's saying it's AI Beatrice.
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 28: AI Beatrice is something else.
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 8: He makes fun of me so much, Ron.
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 18: I'm making fun of you.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you are.
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 2: Go show Leo. And we enjoy every minute of him
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 2: making fun of you.
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I know you do.
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 33: It's like a mix between Mark DiVecchio and Tim Allen
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 33: from the Santa Claus.
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 8: Oh, my God.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 28: Well, Mark had a mullet, so.
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 10: So, yeah.
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 2: So, we'll have to see. All right. Send them my way.
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 2: I can hardly wait.
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 8: I'll send them to you. Oh, you can hardly wait.
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 8: Can you, Ron?
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed immensely. I think Frank is.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 8: Do you have any more calls we can take?
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 7: Yes, yes.
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 8: Do you want to make fun of Dave all night?
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 2: I want to do that, too. You're on the air.
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 19: Hello.
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 7: Hi. Hi. Go ahead.
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 6: Hi.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 30: My son bought a work truck from his boss for $ 800,
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 30: 2008 Dodge Ram.
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 3: And a.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 30: Few days later, when my son did not answer his
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 30: phone to go to work, On the third day, he
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 30: showed up at his boss's house.
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 8: His boss was.
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 30: Very angry, took the plate off the truck, never signed
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 30: the title over to him, and told him to get out.
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 30: So my son drove the truck with no plate back
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 30: to our house. I was the one that took my
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 30: son's money and Apple cashed it to his boss, $ 800.
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 30: And in the memo, I put truck. My son tried
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 30: a few days later to ask him to please sign
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 30: the title. He never answered. And I even contacted him
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 30: to please sign the title over.
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 11: And he never did.
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 30: So my son.
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 2: Stand by for me. I got a break for the headlines.
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 2: Just stand by.
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 10: We're coming back to you.

  Speaker 2: show brought to you by Beatrice Kopp. Call us on line,
• 1:57:56

• 1:58:23
  Speaker 34: property from storm surge and damaging winds along the warning
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 34: area of the Gulf Coast should be rushed to completion today.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 34: Officials are watching the storm as major events in the South,
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 34: like Saturday's Georgia-Alabama football game, may be in jeopardy. President
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 34: Trump says the U.S. will not strike Iran before the
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 34: midterm elections next month. He made the announcement in a
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 34: Truth Social post today. Trump also noted that the U.S.
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 34: is having what he called productive discussions with Iran. He
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 34: reiterated that the country is in very bad condition, both
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 34: economically and militarily. The president's comments come as the war
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 34: with Iran is now nearing the eight-month mark.

  Speaker 35: For 50 years, Sherrod Brown voted how he was told.
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 35: 1975 to today, different presidents, different issues, but Sherrod Brown's
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 35: vote never changed.
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 9: Higher taxes?
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 23: Brown voted for them.
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 2: Open borders?
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 35: Brown voted for them.
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 2: Sex changes?
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 9: For kids?
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 35: Sherrod Brown supported that, too. When Washington Democrats needed Brown's vote,
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 35: he gave it.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 2: Every.
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 6: Time.

  Speaker 2: 95%.

  Speaker 35: Bernie Sanders?
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 9: 92%.
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 35: That was the Democrat party he joined 50 years ago.
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 35: But times have changed. Now, extremists are taking over. They're
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 35: not asking for your vote. They're coming for your country.
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 35: And Sherrod Brown will fall in line.
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 16: He always does.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 2: Sherrod Brown. Times changed.
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 9: His vote never does.

  Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 2: Interesting calls and interesting questions. It's The Legal Show brought
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 2: to you by Beatrice Kopp on NewsRadio 570 WKBN. Let's
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 2: go back to our caller that was having an interesting question.
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, caller.
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 30: So my son did what any desperate idiot would do
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 30: and tried to forge the title.
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 23: No, no.
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 13: No, no, no.
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 28: Stop talking. I didn't say any.
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 30: Names, but took it to a notary and they said
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 30: they couldn't do it.
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 11: He messed it up.
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 25: No, no, no.
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 30: So now the title is crap.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 18: Ma'am, let Dave answer. Stop talking.
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 28: I'm saying that out loud.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 8: You have two options here.
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 8: You can sue him for specific performance, which would cost
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 8: you a ton of money, or you could take him
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 8: to small claims court. and sue him for your $ 800.
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 8: Those are your two options. Do not commit a crime.
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 8: Forgery is a crime.
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 30: I did not encourage that, believe me.
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 2: Well, then drop it and don't make sure nothing is true.
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 8: And sue him for your $ 800. You have a contract
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 8: that you bought a truck for $ 800. He didn't deliver
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 8: a title. Take him to small claims court and get
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 8: your $ 800 back. Okay?
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 2: And lose the title.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 2: Right, Dave?
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 30: Thank you.
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 28: Good luck, caller.
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 8: I just don't understand people, so I'll just forge his name. Oh,
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 8: that's good. For $ 800, you're going to commit a felony.
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 8: That's worth it. What do you think, Frank?
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 18: Is that worth it?
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 12: Well, it's going to cost you more to hire Frank
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 12: and Dave to represent you.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 8: It's not worth it. Go ahead, Ron. What else?
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 2: All right. Next we go. You're on the air with
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 2: the attorneys tonight. Go ahead with your questions.
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 17: Good evening, Mr. Beatrice.
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 3: I have a question for you.
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 7: It's a divorce question.
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 8: Tally's here.
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 7: Go ahead.
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 17: Okay. I divorced my wife quite a few years ago.
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 17: I was with her for 15 years. Now, I had
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 17: time with the state of Ohio before we got married,
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 17: and I had time with the state of Ohio after
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 17: we got married. I didn't have the greatest attorney in
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 17: the world, and she had a— I' m going to call her
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 17: a pit bull— for an attorney, and in the divorce
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 17: decree it says half of my retirement. What do I
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 17: have to do to get that changed to the 15
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 17: years that she's entitled instead of 25 years?
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 12: Well, I would say good luck, Chuck, unfortunately.
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 28: I'm sorry.
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 12: Unfortunately, you can't go back in time. I don't know
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 12: if it was an agreed judgment entry or if you
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 12: went to trial or that jazz.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 28: Did they do a QDRO.
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 8: On your pension?
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 18: Yeah, did they do a QDRO?
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 12: Or did you just agree to a qualified domestic relations order?
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 12: Did they do that, or did you just agree to
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 12: a certain amount?
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 17: They just said she gets half of my retirement. Her
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 17: attorney is a judge.
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 28: Your retirement.
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 8: Did you have an attorney?
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 28: He did, yes.
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 8: Okay, so she gets happy retirement for how many years?
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 17: I've got 25 years with the state of Ohio. She
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 17: was with me for 15. So you have a.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 28: Separate property claim.
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 17: Before we got married and time after we got married.
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 12: You have a separate property claim and a marital property.
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 12: So the marital property portion, that could be split 50-50.
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 18: That is fair.
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 12: If you had a separate property claim, you should have
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 12: brought that up prior to either the trial, the agreed
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 12: judgment injury, whatever. unfortunately you can't put that toothpaste back
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 12: in the tube, as Mark DeVecchia would say.
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 17: Okay, so I'm basically stuck giving her half of my retirement.
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 8: Well, when you're divorced, no.
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 28: It should have already happened, caller.
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 12: Your retirement, half of it should have already been rolled
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 12: over into an account for her at the time of
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 12: the divorce or at least after the Q drill.
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 17: I don't know if it was or not.
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 8: Well, why don't you give Tally a call and come
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 8: in and have a consultation and see if she can't
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 8: untangle this web for you, because Tally was trained by
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 8: Mark DeVecchio, and Tally's very good, so why don't you
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 8: do that?
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 12: I can look at something and look at your decree
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 12: and see if there's anything we can do.
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 17: Okay, can I get your number?
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah, 330-746-8484.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 17: Okay, I will give you a call.
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 3: Thank you very much.
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 8: Thank you. Thanks, caller.
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 28: Talk to you soon.
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 10: Bye-bye.
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 2: All right, and you're on the air with our attorneys tonight.
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 9: Hello.
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 17: Yes, hi.
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 15: Thank you for taking my call.
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 7: Go ahead.
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 15: So I purchased a brand-new truck back in 2024, and
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 15: the truck was less than a year old, and I
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 15: started having issues with how it was performed with the transmission.
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 7: There was a miss in the engine.
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 10: Shown absolutely no codes.
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 15: I had it to two Chevrolet dealerships from 2025 to 2026.
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 15: It's been in each dealership for I would say at
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 15: least four or six different times on each dealership. And
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 15: the last dealership, the Chevrolet dealership, after they could not
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 15: remedy the problem, they gave me paperwork stating that they're
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 15: acknowledging the problem, but there's it's not affecting the performance
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 15: of the truck. And the only thing that Chevy will
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 15: do for me now, and I'm still waiting on this,
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 15: is that they are going to give me some type
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 15: of a stipend, if you want to call it, a
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 15: credit on purchasing a new truck.
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 10: And I'm curious.
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 15: I did research the Lemon Law. This all started when
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 15: the truck was a year old, and it had 14,000 miles.
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 8: So it's the first 12 months or 18,000 miles, whichever
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 8: occurs first. Did a year pass before this started happening?
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 8: It's either a yes or no.
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 15: The year passed, but it was at 14,000 miles.
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 8: That doesn't matter. The defect was reported within the first
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 8: 12 months or 18,000 miles, whichever occurs first. So if
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 8: the defect happened after 12 months, I don't think you
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 8: get the opportunity to use Ohio's Lemon Law, but there
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 8: are warranties that come with the car that they should
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 8: honor the warranties.
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 15: Which it comes with the 60 or 60,000-mile drivetrain. And
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 15: they told me if there's any remedy to the problem
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 15: that I could bring my truck back in and they'll
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 15: reprogram it.
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 8: I don't think you have a Lemon Law case because
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 8: the problem didn't arise until after a year. But you
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 8: have express and implied warranties that they should honor. And
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 8: the express warranty is a bumper-to-bumper, usually, for five years
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 8: or 50,000 miles or whatever it is. The word they
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 8: used is a very precise legal term, and they said
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 8: it didn't affect the what?
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 15: The performance of the vehicle.
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's important. That language is important. So what's wrong
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 8: with the truck? What's it doing?
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 15: Well, when you're driving the truck, there's a contact. it's
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 15: like a miss in the transmission. It's chugging.
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 8: Okay, well, that should be covered under the warranty.
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 15: Well, there's no fix to it.
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 8: What do you mean there's no fix to it?
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 10: There's no fix to it.
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 15: I've got paperwork stating that the truck is performing as
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 15: it should. It states right in the paperwork about the chugging,
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 15: the missing, is normal. I've taken another vehicle, a 2024,
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 15: that the Chevrolet dealership had. Ran perfect.
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 10: No issues.
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 8: Okay, did you take it to anyone else to determine
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 8: if that chugging is normal?
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 11: Two dealerships.
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 10: Two Chevrolet dealerships.
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 8: And they both said it's normal.
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 15: One in Boardman, one in North Jackson.
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 7: They both.
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 15: tried to reprogram the vehicle to fix the problem, and
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 15: it wouldn't fix the problem. So at the end, they
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 15: basically said, there's nothing more we can do for you.
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 10: They gave me, I believe.
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 15: It was a TSB bulletin that's stating that the vehicle
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 15: is operating normal. Every conversation that I've had with a
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 15: representative from General Motors, they're saying that there's no safety issue.
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 15: And there's no check engine lights.
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 10: There's no codes.
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 7: They can't bring up anything on my vehicle.
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 8: Well, if you were to bring a case, you'd have
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 8: the burden of proof. And right now, it doesn't sound
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 8: like you could carry the burden of proof to show
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 8: there's something wrong with the car, unless you're going to
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 8: have an independent mechanic look at it and say, here's
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 8: what's wrong with the car.
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 15: I did take it, like I said, to two Chevy dealerships.
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 8: You didn't hear what I said. Two Chevy dealerships, and they.
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 15: I know you want me to take it to an
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 15: independent dealer.
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 8: No, take it to an independent mechanic, tell him what's
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 8: going wrong with it, and see if he says that's
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 8: a defect or not. Then you've got some bullets in
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 8: your gun.
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 15: Yeah, so what, I mean, what if the vehicle was
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 15: under a year old when I first reported it? Would
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 15: that cover for a limelight if Chevrolet cannot fix it?
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 8: Well, there's more than just that, but yes, you might
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 8: potentially be covered under the Lemon Law if they try
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 8: to fix it three times and it's not fixed. But
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 8: from what you're telling me is they're saying the car
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 8: is performing normally. You're saying the car is not performing normally.
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 8: So that is what we call a dispute. Now, someone
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 8: is correct and someone is incorrect. And you don't have
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 8: anyone to tell you what they're saying is incorrect because
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 8: They have people saying that are experts in this saying
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 8: it's running normal. So you need to have someone on
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 8: a mechanic or something to say this is not normal
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 8: functioning of this car. Then you might have something you
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 8: can bring.
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 15: If I get that report, does your office handle those
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 15: type of cases?
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 6: Well, no.
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 8: The problem is what you want them to do is
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 8: fix the problem or have the independent mechanic tell you
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 8: what it will cost to fix the problem. Okay? You
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 8: don't have enough information yet. You've got to find out
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 8: what is exactly wrong with the car or is nothing
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 8: wrong with the car and that's how it should perform.
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 8: You understand what I'm saying?
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 15: Yes, I do.
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 13: Yes, sir.
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 8: So take it to an independent mechanic, tell him what
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 8: they said, have him drive it and see what he says,
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 8: and then say, what do you think it would cost
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 8: to repair that? And then that's your amount of damages.
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 8: And depending on how much, you could take them to
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 8: small claims court and say they've breached the warranty. Here's
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 8: how much it's going to cost to fix it and
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 8: sue them. But you've got to find out first what
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 8: the ails your car.
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 7: Yes, absolutely.
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 2: Thank you, and good luck. We appreciate your call.
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 10: Yes, thank you very much.
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 2: All right. You're on the air with Attorney David Beatrice
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 2: and Company. Legal Show brought to you by Beatrice Copp.
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, please.
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 6: Yes, I've got a consumer purchase question. Is it legal
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 6: for a company to– print a coupon to have a
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 6: service done. You go in and have the service done,
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 6: get the bill, and they've almost doubled the bill in
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 6: fees and charges that aren't on there.
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 18: Did you read the fine print?
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 2: No.
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 6: The only thing in the fine print is the expiration date.
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 6: It doesn't say anything about what the business would be.
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 23: He's right, Frank.
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 8: Anything over $ 25, they have to put it in writing
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 8: to you.
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 18: No, I'm just wondering, is there fine print? He's saying
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 18: there's not.
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 8: So they're violating.
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 6: But the only thing in the fine print is the
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 6: expiration date. And other than that, it doesn't say anything
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 6: about additional fees and charges.
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 8: So they have to get your approval in writing on that.
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 8: They haven't done that. You don't owe it.
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 6: Okay, well, I already paid it, and I left there,
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 6: and I was mad. I went back, and I questioned
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 6: him about it. I'm like, do you feel that this
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 6: is ethical, that you've added all these fees on there?
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 8: Was it a new car or a used car?
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 10: No, it's a used car.
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 6: It was to have service done on it.
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 8: All right, did they give you a written estimate?
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 3: When he looked at.
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 7: It, he's like, what?
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 8: Did they give you a written estimate of how much
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 8: the repairs would cost? Yes or no?
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 6: No.
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 8: They did not?
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 6: No.
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 8: Then I think you could sue them for the money
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 8: that you spent in small claims court. How much was that?
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 6: The total bill was only $ 70- some, but the coupon was
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 6: for $ 44.
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 8: They didn't give you a written estimate. They, by law,
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 8: have to give you a written estimate. They didn't do that.
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 8: I think you could take them to small claims court
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 8: and get your.
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 9: $ 77 back.
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because when I questioned him about it, he looked
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 6: at me real funny.
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 10: He said, that's why that coupon won't be printed again.
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 6: Because he probably knew that he was wrong.
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 8: So you could take them to the small claims court
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 8: for your $ 77. All right.
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 2: Good luck.
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 2: Thank you. You're on with our attorneys tonight. Go ahead, please.
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm calling.
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 20: My son, he's been renting a property now for three years.
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 20: Ever since he's been there, they've been having floods in
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 20: the basement every year. Landlord decides he never wants to
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 20: even step foot in the house to do anything. Sends
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 20: the property manager over. It's one lie after another. Long
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 20: story short, growing mold all over everything, mildew. Does he
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 20: have any rights to getting that fixed and what he's
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 20: lost so far with this mold in that basement?
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 12: So in writing, I would provide like even a text
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 12: message or an email, say, you know, this is an
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 12: ongoing issue. This is when you first became aware of it,
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 12: all that jazz. give the owner a reasonable period of
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 12: time to fix it.
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 28: I would argue about 30 days.
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 12: And if not, then I would put the funds in escrow.
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 8: I think he's on a month-to-month lease.
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 3: That's fine.
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 28: Oh, well, you can still put the funds in escrow.
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 8: If he wants to stay there, right? If he wants
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 8: to stay there.
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 18: Well, if he wants to stay there.
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 28: It's really hard to find a place to rent right now, Dave.
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 28: But if he doesn't want to stay.
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 20: Beautiful home, and he deals with it mainly in the summertime.
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 20: He doesn't have any of those issues there, so.
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 28: Let's grow the funds until he fixes it.
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 18: He's on a month-to-month lease.
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 8: Is he on a month-to-month lease?
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 7: Yes, he is.
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 8: Okay, so here's the thing. I mean, here's the funny thing.
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 8: He can complain all he wants, and the landlord could say,
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 8: all right, I'm terminating the lease. Here's your 30-day notice.
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 8: Get out.
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 18: In a month-to-month lease, he can evict you. Just give
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 18: you notice.
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 20: So that wouldn't be retaliatory?
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 18: You could, but you don't have a contract.
• 2:16:18
  Speaker 8: You don't have a contract.
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 28: And he could come up with any valid reason.
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 18: You don't need a valid reason.
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 8: He's right about retaliatory eviction.
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 33: I understand that, but what I'm saying is you can
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 33: guise any reason to get him out.
• 2:16:32
  Speaker 28: That's what I'm saying. What I don't understand.
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 8: Is, Why does this son want to still live a place?
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 28: He said it's a beautiful home.
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 18: Well, it's not that beautiful if you've got those issues.
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, if you've got mold and stuff in it and
• 2:16:43
  Speaker 8: it's flooding.
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 2: All right, you're on the nose there.
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 20: Okay, well, I just don't want him to get off
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 20: the hook just by writing and getting him out of
• 2:16:53
  Speaker 20: the house. The next tenant's going to deal with it.
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 7: He's a shady landlord, that's all.
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 2: I think Dave was making the best point of anything.
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 2: Why would you want to stay in a house that's
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 2: got mold in it for your own health purposes?
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, okay.
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen to what Dave was saying.
• 2:17:12
  Speaker 8: Why are you dealing or engaged in business with unethical people,
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 8: and then they don't do anything, and then you say, well,
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 8: they're not treating me right? Well, you've got to vote
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 8: with your feet then. Bye-bye.
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't want to stay there and breathe all that, right, David?
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's all right. You're on the air.
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 7: Hello.
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 8: Did you ever see Frank's dog, by the way, Ron?
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 6: No.
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 8: Tell him your dog's name, Frank.
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 28: He's so cute.
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 7: Roscoe.
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 2: Roscoe.
• 2:17:43
  Speaker 8: Tell him what Roscoe is. uh red doberman yeah oh
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 8: my let me tell you something nobody is yeah he's
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 8: not sweet i mean he's sweet he don't look sweet.
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 12: He doesn't chew a hundred dollar bills like bandit yeah.
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 8: But bandit loves hundred dollar bills bandit chewed through my pocket.
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 18: It's like his dad.
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 8: I had three hundred dollar bills I had 320s, some 5s,
• 2:18:10
  Speaker 8: and 10s. He didn't touch anything but the $ 100 bills.
• 2:18:14
  Speaker 8: He chewed two $ 100 bills beyond recognition. The other $ 100 bills,
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 8: he chewed Benjamin Franklin's face off. But I was able
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 8: to tape it together and took it to the bank,
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 8: and it had the matching serial numbers. But no Benjamin
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 8: Franklin face.
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 28: So let's hear now why you're going to complain about
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 28: Frank's dog.
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 8: Because he looks menacing.
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 28: No, he's protective. He's the sweetest boy.
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 8: He is a sweet boy. Except if you're a robber
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 8: and you knock on his door, you're not going to
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 8: think Ross goes so sweet.
• 2:18:49
  Speaker 28: No, that's true.
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 18: That's his point.
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 2: Here's my secret question for Frank.
• 2:18:52
  Speaker 28: He's protective for sure.
• 2:18:53
  Speaker 2: Now, were you in Austintown court the other day and
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 2: were you wearing shoes without socks?
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 8: He's wearing shoes without socks today.
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 18: Every time I go into court, almost every time.
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 33: Besides federal court, Judge Kirschbaum, and jury trials, I don't
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 33: wear socks.
• 2:19:11
  Speaker 8: He doesn't have socks on today. He has those pads.
• 2:19:14
  Speaker 2: Why do you wear shoes?
• 2:19:14
  Speaker 28: Don't you wear no-show socks?
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 2: You wear shoes without socks?
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 18: Well, they're no-show.
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 8: They're pads.
• 2:19:20
  Speaker 28: Yeah, they're not not socks.
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 18: They're no-show socks. You know what, Ron?
• 2:19:24
  Speaker 33: I can get OCD, and when I wear socks, I
• 2:19:28
  Speaker 33: feel like the entire time I spend pooling.
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 18: I'm pulling my socks up because it drives me crazy.
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 18: That's the truth, right?
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 8: He started getting me to do that. Now, everyone makes
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 8: fun of me. I was tired of trying to be
• 2:19:45
  Speaker 8: fashionable like Frank. Then I'd walk in and people would go,
• 2:19:48
  Speaker 8: you don't have socks on. I'd go, I understand that.
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 18: For me, it's not a fashion statement.
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 8: It is a fashion statement.
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 18: No, it's not.
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 2: I do it in the winter.
• 2:19:56
  Speaker 33: It's not a fashion statement. It's simply how I wear.
• 2:20:02
  Speaker 33: I don't like the high socks because they fall down.
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 2: So you wear the low socks that you can't see.
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 2: They're called no-shows, Beatrice.
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 18: They're called peds. I don't know what peds are.
• 2:20:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, whatever, but that's what he's wearing.
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 8: Am I right, Tally?
• 2:20:16
  Speaker 28: I mean, these boys are more worried about fashion than
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 28: I am, so I don't even know.
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 18: Can I tell you?
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 18: I was in trial last week, and I felt like every.
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 33: Few minutes, I'm grabbing my sock and pulling it up.
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 33: And I have to wear socks in front of a jury.
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 33: You've got to get better socks, Frank. You get gold toes.
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 33: I mean, I have socks.
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 8: I pull them up. No, they're up to my knees.
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 28: And when I get home.
• 2:20:41
  Speaker 8: I know i just i'm telling you they're still up
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 8: to my knees.
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 12: That's good i haven't found the right if you have
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 12: frank for christmas we know what to get him.
• 2:20:49
  Speaker 33: Here's the thing i can maybe find a pair of
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 33: socks i like candidly anymore it's just easier i don't
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 33: have to match them with anything you.
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 28: Know i just i just wear no shoes are your
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 28: socks matching right now.
• 2:21:01
  Speaker 8: He has no shoes on again i don't wear socks
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 8: like Yeah, I know, but you're.
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 28: Wearing no-show socks. No-show socks. Are they matching? Like, if
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 28: you took your feet out right now with.
• 2:21:09
  Speaker 8: Your socks on. No one can see them. What difference
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 8: does it make?
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 17: They're great.
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 28: Because if you take your shoe off, you'll see.
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 8: What, is he going to take his shoe off in court?
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Come on, Tally.
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 8: Come on, Tally. Get with the program.
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 12: I'm pretty sure, Dave Petras, that's one of the first
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 12: things I heard about you is that you take your
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 12: shoes off in court.
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 8: Oh, my gosh.
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 28: I'm just being honest because they're like, oh, you don't want.
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 8: To go against him. I've got to tell you one
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 8: of the funniest things I ever did in a jury trial.
• 2:21:33
  Speaker 8: was in front of Judge Sweeney, okay, in the middle
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 8: of trial, and I asked my paralegal to bring me
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 8: a coffee and donut.
• 2:21:43
  Speaker 18: Dude, only you would do that.
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, honestly.
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 8: As the prosecutor is cross-examining my witness, here comes my
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 8: paralegal with a coffee and donut and delivers it to
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 8: counsel to people. I thought Sweeney was going to have
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 8: an aneurysm.
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 18: Can you blame her?
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 28: You're not even allowed to chew gum in court. You're
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 28: allowed to eat a donut?
• 2:22:05
  Speaker 33: He's having breakfast. Yeah, Judge Sweeney is so laid back.
• 2:22:10
  Speaker 33: It's a pleasure to try a case in court.
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 8: It really is.
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 33: And the fact that she had to call you out
• 2:22:16
  Speaker 33: and her bailiff, Danielle, who we love.
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 8: I don't think Danielle was her bailiff at that time.
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 33: Yes, she was, because Danielle tells the story.
• 2:22:23
  Speaker 12: I was in the shortest hearing today, and I chewed
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 12: my mint so fast before being in the presence of
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 12: Judge Sweeney.
• 2:22:30
  Speaker 28: How do you get away with eating donuts?
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 8: They were delivered to me.
• 2:22:34
  Speaker 18: He didn't get away with it. Did you have to
• 2:22:36
  Speaker 18: walk out?
• 2:22:37
  Speaker 8: No, the judge stopped. She called us up and she goes,
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 8: what did you just do? I said, I wanted some coffee.
• 2:22:43
  Speaker 8: She goes, David, we're in the middle of trial. What
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 8: do you mean you wanted coffee?
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 18: Oh, my Jesus, Lord Almighty.
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 8: Only you. Do you know one time, and this is
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 8: a true story, you can ask Judge Sweeney. A witness
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 8: took the stand. He said, I don't like you.
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 28: Yes, I remember this.
• 2:22:59
  Speaker 10: I do.
• 2:22:59
  Speaker 8: I said, you're not on my top ten list. And
• 2:23:01
  Speaker 8: we started going at each other in front of the jury.
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 8: She started banging her gavel. Frank, it's a funny story.
• 2:23:07
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 2:23:07
  Speaker 8: The head of the gavel came off and hit me
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 8: in the head.
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 28: I do have a legitimate.
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 8: Hit me in the head. She goes, counsel in chambers now.
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 28: Dave Beatrice, it's a yes or no.
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 8: I go, judge, what? She goes, I expect more out
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 8: of you. I go, I got to eat his shit.
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 10: What?
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 28: Did you or did you not take your shoes off
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 28: during court? It's a yes or no.
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 8: I never have done that.
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 28: It's a yes or no.
• 2:23:29
  Speaker 7: No, never.
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 28: Are you sure?
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 12: Because that's one of the first things I heard about you.
• 2:23:33
  Speaker 33: Do you know, Ron, that he duct taped his, well,
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 33: scotch taped his shoes together once?
• 2:23:40
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 2:23:40
  Speaker 28: I was there for that. I saw that. You walked
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 28: in with Tape on your slides.
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 2:23:46
  Speaker 18: That's his slides. I'm talking about dress shoes.
• 2:23:48
  Speaker 28: He's taped more than one pair of shoes?
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 18: He had these dress shoes and the sole came off. Oh, Jesus.
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 18: And he scotch taped.
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 8: Well, what did you want me to do? Go get
• 2:24:02
  Speaker 8: another pair of shoes or glue them or something.
• 2:24:04
  Speaker 28: Scotch tape?
• 2:24:05
  Speaker 8: I scotch taped them, yeah.
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 28: And how long did that last?
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 8: Didn't last too long.
• 2:24:09
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 17: Oh, God.
• 2:24:12
  Speaker 18: We love you, Dave.
• 2:24:13
  Speaker 28: We love you.
• 2:24:16
  Speaker 7: Do you know how.
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 8: Many more days Scott Kirschbaum has on the bench?
• 2:24:19
  Speaker 9: How many?
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 7: 85 days, Ron.
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 8: 85 days for me to terrorize him.
• 2:24:25
  Speaker 12: I'm going to buy you duct tape and buy you
• 2:24:27
  Speaker 12: socks for Christmas.
• 2:24:28
  Speaker 2: Before we run out of time.
• 2:24:30
  Speaker 8: 85 days. He's afraid of me, you know.
• 2:24:32
  Speaker 2: Frank, before we run out of time, I can't tell you, Frank,
• 2:24:35
  Speaker 2: how much I enjoy it when you come on the program. Frank,
• 2:24:37
  Speaker 2: you are the best. You are absolutely the best.
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 18: Judge, I hope you're out there listening.
• 2:24:44
  Speaker 8: I hope you're listening, too. Because the truth is, 85
• 2:24:47
  Speaker 8: more days, I don't have to call you Your Honor anymore.
• 2:24:51
  Speaker 7: Thanks, Dave.
• 2:24:53
  Speaker 2: Have a good night, everybody. Hi, it's Ron Furb.
