  Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570 WKBN 406 here on a Wednesday, on a
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: wet Wednesday afternoon, 54 degrees. Ron Furb from the Kingdom
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: of Mahoning. All right, let me go back to Fort Lauderdale.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: You're in a bad mood.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not in a bad mood, but I don't want
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: to dwell on that situation that you want to dwell on.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: I just don't.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Ron, you're incorrect, though. There's nobody personally responsible for buying
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: anything because I am not allowed.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: To give advice over the phone. Don't you understand that?
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: I get it. So drop it. Or drop you.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to just dwell on it.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: It's an insignificant thing to me.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: All right, before.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I get to Bassey, can I ask you a question?
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: If you're accusing me of name-calling, why.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Do you allow..
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I'm saying I'm trying to improve things. I do not
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: approve of personal attacks on callers.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to prevent that from happening. All right.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: But you allow Rich the pharmacist to call me.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to prevent it.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: And I semi, don't you?
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to prevent things.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: All right. I appreciate it. Now, Massey.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Yesterday, an emailer said that I said that Massey voted
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: with Republicans 97% of the time. I said last year
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I told you Massey voted with Republicans 97% of the time,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: but that was 2024. So I was off by 2%.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Big deal.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: I was right.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: But he also voted with Republicans 87% of the time
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: last year, and you said yesterday... He voted 90% of
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: the time with Republicans. But the Zionist lobby poured huge
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: amounts of money in the race to oust a Republican
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: who votes with the Republicans almost every time. And Ted
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: was wrong. He said 75% of the time. But now
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the Republican Party is 100% the party of Israel and
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: of pedophile protectors.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: And Ron..
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Also, 70% of farmers in the latest poll say they
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: can't afford to grow food because of the high cost
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: of fertilizer because of the Iran war. But NVIDIA is
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: about to report earnings any minute now, and that could
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: drive the market even higher. Now, I got good news
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: for Donald Trump. Donald Trump... has more than 3,600 trades
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: were made between January and March 26 in Trump's personal accounts. Now,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the cumulative value of trades ranged from $ 220 million to
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: $ 750 million because federal ethics disclosures require broad valuations rather
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: than specific figures. But Trump, you know what he's doing?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: He's buying the Mag 7, and he's also way overweighted
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: in companies that deliver the hardware for AI. And, Ron,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Trump is personally hyping his stocks. On May 8th, he
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: told people to go out and buy Dell, and Dell
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: surged 14.6% and made an all-time high. It's more than
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: doubled now. Now, Ron... I would like to tell Trump
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: that here's what. If you're going to buy stocks, the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: best way for your stocks, AI stocks to go up
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: in price, is end the wars in the Middle East.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Because every time Wall Street thinks these wars are going
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: to end, what happens? The stock market surges.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: There you have it. Are you done?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: No. Do you want me to be done? Sure.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Now, Ron, we've known each other for such a long time.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've talked to each other for such a
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: long time.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: But there's times that I will disagree with you.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Listen, I am the first guy to say, in agreement
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: with you, I think a great American was defeated last
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: night in Mass. He's losing that election. I agree with G2.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: He's a conservative. First and foremost, he is a conservative.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Trump has a beef with Massey on three issues. Well,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: he would have a beef with a lot of people
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: on it. Those three issues are the Epstein files, the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: war in Iran, and stopping all foreign aid.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Well, guess what? I agree with Massey on all three
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: of those issues.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: So..
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I voted for Trump three times. I would vote for
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a Democrat, period, because they're just lunatics. But I'm looking
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: at a president that's attacking anybody who disagrees with anything.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: He stands for.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I do not agree with keeping the Epstein files
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: closed and secretive and not exposing it. I am totally
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: opposed to that. And I think it's a double standard
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: of justice.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: And I try to figure out why he did that 180.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Do you agree that now Margie Taylor Greene and Massey
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: are gone? Any chance of seeing the Epstein files by
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the general public is now zero?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, I do agree with that. Unfortunately, I do agree
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: with that. And I think any real debate on certain
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: foreign policies will be nil and void because of the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: fear of the lobbyists.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Ron, I told you last week there was a CEO...
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: of a large bank that says that he considers human
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: capital to be low-value capital. That's why he's going to
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: fire thousands of workers and replace them with the AI. Now,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: in economics, the factors of production are land, labor, and capital.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: And I told you, Ron, 36 years ago, I include
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: human brainpower or human capital which I believe is by
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: far the most factor of production of all. So what
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: these guys are saying, by the way, Larry Fink gave
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: a speech at the University of Arizona the other day,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: which he was pushing A.I. and he was roundly booed
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: by the graduates of the university. You saw that?
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Now, this is what they are saying, him and Lex
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Wexner and all these A.I., guys like Larry Fink, that
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: AI can replace human capital and human brainpower. I'm not
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: sure if that's possible. I think you're always going to
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: need human brainpower, but maybe they're correct. Maybe they can
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: replace me and you.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: We shall see.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Stocks rally back as rates and oil fears ease. Dow
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: jumps more than 600 points.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: All right, Frank. Appreciate it. NewsRadio 570.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Hey, one time Bobby from Austintown called me a troublemaker.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Well, in that case, it wasn't name-calling. It was identifying you.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: That's my chosen pronoun. I think he also referred to
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: you as a muckraker.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: I was glad to hear that. I have a little
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: problem spelling it, but we'll straighten it out. Ron, you've
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: been talking to Frank for 104 years. So when did
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: you guys first start talking about the Epstein files or
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Epstein in general, a pedophile, pedophile island, Lolita Express? When
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: did you guys start talking about this?
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I have absolutely no clue. I mean, if you're asking
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: me what month and what day, I don't know.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: How about a year? How about a year?
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I can't. At some point, it all blends together. We're
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: talking about Epstein. Obviously, we've been talking about that before
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: he killed himself. How long ago has that been? How
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: long has it been since the story's been out there?
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's been around for years.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Years. So, like, 1997 is years ago? That's a lot
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: of years.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, it depends.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: If you want to go back to the original case,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I think out of Florida, when the original case and
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: then the case after that, I think people became more
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: familiar with it, I would say, several years ago, a
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: couple years ago on a timeline.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: People became familiar with Epstein.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: And the reason I bring it up is I don't
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: know what the hell was going on, but it was
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: the mid into the late 90s when I was hearing
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: about it going, what the hell's going on? Who's this
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Epstein character? But so the big cheese of the FBI
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: who might have been looking at this was Robert Mueller
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: at the time, right? You said that the case was
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: brought in Florida. Oh, who was the governor of Florida
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: at that time, Ron? Was that Jeb Bush? Who was
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: the president of the United States at that time? It
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: was George W.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: Bush.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: So I just crack up when I hear the people talking,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: and I'm going, whoa, whoa, whoa. Where were you? Where
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: were you, Massey, in 2012? Oh, you weren't paying attention.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: to this, I guess. You weren't standing up and shouting
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: about it.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: The first criminal case against Jeffrey Epstein began in March
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: 2005 when Palm Beach, Florida, police launched an investigation after
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: a local couple reported that he molested their 14-year-old daughter
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: at his mansion. So it goes back to 2005.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Well, it goes back further than that with Bill Clinton,
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: but go ahead.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Listen, I'm just telling you what it says, all right?
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know when Bill Clinton was involved or any
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: of this nonsense. I can only tell you when it
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: became really noticeable to the vast majority of people as
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: to what's going on, and that's been over the last
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: couple of years, all right? I mean, most people probably
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: weren't aware of this stuff in 2005 or how he
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: got this pass back in the original case with the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Attorney General.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Or the local federal attorney.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: No, the attorney general, you're right.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: In the original case that happens, whatever year that was.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: So can you can you look up on your Google
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: machine when Donald Trump called the police about Epstein?
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: No, I can't, because that's always it's always some degree
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: of speculation. It's speculated that I have heard that he
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: was the one Epstein felt he was the one who
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: called the police on him. But I don't know. I mean,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know what is we can debate it all, all,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: all along. All I'm saying is release the damn files. Listen,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know why there's any debate on this other
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: than I agree with the people that it's a double
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: standard of justice. I don't give a damn if Trump's
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: in them or not in them. It doesn't matter to me.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Release the files. I don't believe they will ever be
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: released and it will continue to be covered up. And
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I think that's unfortunate because the masses that you want
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to attack or the Marjorie Taylor Greene or the people
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: that are supporting that..
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: And remember, Trump.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Ran on that. He ran on that issue. And these
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: people supported that issue. And in the blink of an eye,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Trump changed his opinion.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Why did he change it? I don't know.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Did they have something on him? Was he worried about
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: something coming out? Why did he change all of a sudden?
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Should I believe Elon Musk who said
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: he'll never expose the Epstein files because he's in them?
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Remember when Elon Musk said that?
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Is that true or false? I don't know.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: But you've got.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: To sit back as an American and say, there's a
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: damn cover-up going on here. I mean, I don't know
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: where you want to go, what year this, what year that,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Massey this, Massey that. I give Massey credit, Marjorie Taylor
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Greene credit, or any of these other people that say,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: you ran on it. You said you would put it
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: all out there. Pam Bondi said it was on her desk,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: and they reversed themselves on it. So put the stuff
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: out there.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: I don't get it.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: So a guy does something. So how much of the
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Epstein files were released so far?
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Not all of them. A lot of it, but not
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: all of it.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay, so this guy, this one guy, did something.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to parade around with the people,
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: not take them to the police station or take them
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: to a lawyer. She wants to parade around with them,
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: making a show of it. Same thing with Massey.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: You're attacking, you as a Republican or whatever, are attacking
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: people that say they want it all released.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: In which it all should be released.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: You did nothing about it. You did zero zilch about it.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: This guy did something.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Not enough.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Probably more than half.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: But not enough. What did he run on?
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Don't you think you have the ability to say to yourself,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: why the sudden reversal?
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Well, and here's my deal. This is just me. I've
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: been hearing about it since 1997, okay? And none of
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: those people did a darn thing about it.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: And what president ran on it? Did any of them
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: run about releasing the FC files? Trump, it was one
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: of the things he was running on. I mean, is
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: it wrong for people?
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Because nobody has done anything about it.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: And he hasn't done enough.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: And he hasn't done enough. And it's just funny that, right,
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: we pick out one guy, the only man who did anything.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Because we're talking about the Epstein files. When were the
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: Epstein files, I don't know, put together? When did we
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: know we had the Epstein files? For Trump to say,
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: I'll release them, right? So it must have been, oh,
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know, before Trump was elected the second time,
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: would you say?
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: We're just going around in circles. I mean, this is ridiculous.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Did he do what he said he wanted to do?
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're just going in a holding pattern here.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: He did not do what he said he wanted to do.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: That's fine. That's fine. I accept that.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: And that is what the beef is with the conservatives
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: who say you ran on this. Why the reversal? Hey,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Pam Bondi, why the reversal? All of a sudden, she's gone.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: And that's fine. How about this? Stand by.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Stand by. Stand by. We'll come back with more with
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Jake in a minute. Hang in there. Youngstown's News, Weather,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: and Talk Station, 570 WKBN. All right, back to it.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: News Radio 570 WKBN. Ron Ferb, you're on the air.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Go ahead. So it comes down to this. Listen.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: It comes down to here's what he ran on and
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: what he stood for. And so release the damn files.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: You understand there's an issue here. There are victims here.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: These are children that were molested by these individuals. Whether
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: it's Bill Gates, Prince Andrew, I don't know. But we
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: know Gates got divorced. We know his wife cited that
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: as part of the reason or implied it was. He
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: claims he was with prostitutes. We know the situation with
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Prince Andrew that's going on. We know that there's always
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: questions about Epstein's suicide that has taken place in the
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: pictures of Clinton. And I'm not saying because you were
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: by Epstein that makes you guilty. But let's get to
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: the bottom of this and stop this double standard of justice.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: And I don't think we will ever get to the
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: bottom of it. And that will disappoint a lot of
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: people who voted for Trump for that reason to stop
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: the deep state or whatever you want to call it
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: from covering this kind of stuff up. We all as
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Americans should be offended that the intelligence community from whatever
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: country would engage in activities like this to try to
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: get dirt on somebody using children. That alone is disturbing
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: to me. But the fact is... We're not holding these
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: people accountable.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Because of their money and their influence? Well, I don't
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: know how to score that other than that's a double
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: standard of justice, and it's wrong. And so he ran
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: on that. I would like to see that released. Pam
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Bondi said the thing she said, and none of that materialized,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: and she's long gone now. So I don't think you're
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: ever going to see it. I don't think you will
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: ever get to the.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Bottom of this.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know that you'll ever see anybody actually prosecuted
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: for it.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: For crimes against children. And that is sad.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: Call me to help out. I'll be glad to help out.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: That is sad to me. It is absolutely sad. So
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: why does a guy with these great political instincts do
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: a 180 on this where I was shocked to see
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: him when he's championed all this. And all of a sudden,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: in the blink of an eye, he says to that reporter, oh,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: that's old news. You still dwelling on that? Like all
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, we should stop thinking because the almighty
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Trump said something and only think what he thinks. He's
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: getting to the point where if you don't agree with
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: him on everything, if you actually have an opinion that's
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: different than his, you're scum. If you don't agree on
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: everything he does, and I don't go along with that
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: when it was the Democrats and Biden, and I won't
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: go along with it with the Republicans. If you don't
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: have the ability as a representative to think about your
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: district and think about where you stand on these issues,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: and if you don't agree with the president, you should
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: disagree with him and stand your ground.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: So his premier legislation, the big, beautiful bill, he calls
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Massey and says, dude, need your vote on this, because
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: otherwise the tax breaks and stuff will sunset if we
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: don't get enough votes. And he says, go pound salt.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: And we look back to the election. So is it
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: a bigger issue with the border or Epstein? During the election.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Well, no, you look back at what Massey said. He said,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to support the Big Beautiful Bill because
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: of the massive government spending and the debt deficit. Remember,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: you had the conservative coalition. that was overwhelmingly opposed to
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: it because it wasn't cutting government spending. We're kicking the
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: can down the road again.
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: Enough.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Add in enough.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: It wasn't cutting spending enough. And I agree.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: So that's why Massey didn't support it. So we want
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: to hang him out as a result of it? We
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: want to say..
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: You've got to play ball. That's why Rand Paul's father,
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Ron Paul, had to change to be a Republican so
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: he could.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Be in the game. All right, so go ahead and
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: make your point. and then I'll move.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Along. I'm just asking you to understand that I was there. Whatever,
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: 15 years before this all happened and people started talking
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: about it again, I was already there and nobody did anything.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: All the establishment, the communist James Comey, FBI, Robert Mueller,
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: who's dead now. And James Brennan, the other communists, they
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: did nothing about it. And along with Mitt Romney, all
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: the loudmouth people who think they are something. And you're
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: always yelling about Amy Acton, and I would, too, because
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: she's a loser. But you say that she quit. What
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: did MTG do? Didn't she quit?
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Yes. And did I criticize her for it?
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: I don't remember.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: I said she should fill out her term and then
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: let somebody else run for it. Now, she claims she
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: quit because she was concerned about her safety. And I
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: also understand that as well. But I would have completed
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: my term if I was her.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: But before she quit, she made the top three list
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: in the website where you look at how much money
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: they made in the stock market. Yeah, her and Dan
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Crenshaw were in the top three with Nancy Pelosi. It
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: just bothers me a little bit. Like, okay, you're this
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: superhero of the downtrodden, but you're kind of making money
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: on the side there, aren't you?
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, so what do you want to do?
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying, these people give you their character... and
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: some people aren't accepting it. You know, Tucker Carlson with
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: all his insane stuff about demons and how he hates
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: Christians more than anybody, and all the stuff that he says,
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: and he lies, and the stupid New York Times has
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: to remind him that he lies and play it for
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: him right in front of his face because he's lying.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: I don't get why we're following these people. And it's okay.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: I appreciate that Trump did something about the Epstein files,
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: and other people don't appreciate that he did something, and
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: no one else did anything. Nobody else did anything except grandstand.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: And the grandstand is 20 years too late. Whatever.
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: Whatever.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: That's all. Hey, Ron, I'll say like Emanuel says, I'll
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: say like J.J. says, and J.J., God dang it, it's
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: opening a can of worms, not a bag of worms, J.J.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: See ya. You're on the air.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Hello?
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: Hey, Ted called me today, and he said that you
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: might be suffering from NDS, Netanyahu derangement syndrome.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: I see. Okay. Is there a cure?
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: Interesting concept, right?
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Is there a cure?
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: I don't know. For Fort Lauderdale, Frank, I don't know.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: But, you.
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: Know, him and the Zionist Jews, I hear him say
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: that one more time. Yeah, he's got a problem with
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: the Jews. But anyhow, getting back to Ted. He was
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: talking about the Tea Party.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: You there?
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm listening.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: All right. Remember, I think it was a Democrat you
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: voted for, Obama. You know, he set the government out
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: to destroy the Tea Party. Remember that?
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: Nobody listens to that, right?
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Oh, I remember it.
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but how many times do you hear about it anymore?
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, time moves on.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, for God's sakes, I mean, it's like time
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: does march on from when Obama was there. I mean,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: what are we supposed to still talk about it? I
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: mentioned it's today. I mean, I mentioned when they sick
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: the IRS after reporters or did them on a tea party.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, I remember it. I'm not going to talk
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: about it every day. It was back when Obama was president.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: What do you want me to do?
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I just..
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: These liberals bring all this stuff up from the past,
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: but they never mention any of this. But Trump, you know,
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: they're talking about maybe he's making deals for his family.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: Did you hear about that?
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: Well, maybe he's just trying to make a point. You know, like,
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: if they could do it, I could do it, too.
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: So he'll just make all these deals for his family,
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: all right? And they'll get rich, and then when.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: He leaves office..
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: He'll follow the precedent that Joe Biden, and he'll just
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: pardon his whole entire family, all his friends, 30 years.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: You know what?
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: He did it, so why can't he?
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Well, there's always that possibility.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a possibility. You're just going to have
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: to wait and see.
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: I mean, they, you know.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Let me put it this way to you.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I don't support if Trump's kids are making a bunch
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: of money because of who their father is any more
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: than I supported it with Hunter Biden making a bunch
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: of money because of who his father is. So it
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: doesn't justify in my mind. I don't care if it's
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: a Democrat or Republican. It doesn't make one doesn't make
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: the other right. So if you were opposed to it
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: when it was Hunter Biden, if Trump's kids are making money,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: you should be opposed to it in that scenario as well.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: You just can't say, well, it's my team now, so
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: all of this stuff is okay. I mean, as I started,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: am I concerned about the fact that, if I bring
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: it up again, that we're this deal with Trump's IRS settlements?
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with him saying, okay, we're
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: going to put together this fund for people that are,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: let's see, they put the nine-page agreements together. DOJ released
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Monday setting up a $ 1. 8 billion fund to compensate victims
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: of alleged weaponization of law enforcement. I don't have a
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: problem with that. I think that there are many people
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: that were the victims of this for political purposes, including
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: people on January 6th that were victims of this for
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: political purposes.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: I think we've all witnessed that.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: So I think if there's a fund to compensate people
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: for that, I don't have a problem with it. The
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: only problem I have in this agreement is where it says,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: and keep in mind, the attorney general is Trump's former lawyer.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: So the only problem I have in this agreement includes
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: a sweeping release under which the IRS is forever barred
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: and precluded from pursuing examinations of Trump related or affiliated individuals.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: That means his family and related trust and businesses. So
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: basically the IRS is forever barred and precluded from pursuing
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: examinations of Trump's tax returns ever or his family members ever.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Or his trust, or his businesses ever.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: That I find bizarre. Now, I mean, I think that
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: that's really odd. Would I say that's okay if Joe
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Biden did that? No. I would say, well, wait a minute.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Why are you and your whole family exempt from this?
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't approve of that if Biden did that for
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: his whole family. So am I supposed to say that's
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: okay because it's Trump and I voted for Trump and I'm... No,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not going.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: To do that.
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: Don't get me wrong. I feel the same way. I
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: don't think either party should do it. But if he gets,
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: if he does, you know, do it, then they try
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: to say something. At least he'll expose the fact Joe
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: Biden did it, so why shouldn't he? He'll bring the
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: problem to light.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: I think he's just trying to.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: Solve a problem while getting his family rich, possibly. No,
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: I think, you know, what are they going to say? Oh, yeah,
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: Joe Biden didn't do any of this. He didn't pardon
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: his kids or anything after he said he wouldn't.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: I get what you're saying, but it doesn't make it right.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to be a damn hypocrite and criticize
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: it when Biden and the Democrats did it and say
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: it's okay when the Republicans do it. I mean, I'm
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: the first guy that says when the Democrats are there
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: that once again, they're going to walk in lockstep. They're
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: going to check their brain at the door. Well, it
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: was my biggest criticism of Tim Ryan. He stopped representing
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: his community. He stopped being a he started being a politician.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Whatever Nancy Pelosi said is what they did. Do you
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: think that was admirable? He got so out of touch.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: He became such a politician and so much with the party.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: He failed to represent his district. Well, I don't think
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: we should be punishing people that are in our party
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: that disagree with the president on a war, that disagree
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: with the president on Epstein, that disagree with the president
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: on foreign aid. I think that's a discussion worth having
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: and that we should be able to disagree on that.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make you less of a Republican or that
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: we should run you out.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Of the party.
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: Do you think that they should impeach a president more
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: than once and Get them on five criminal charges?
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: No, I do not. But if that's what the Democrats do,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: that's what they do. But I wouldn't support it if
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: the Republicans were doing that either. I mean, if you're
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: asking me, should we do that because they do that?
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Does that make it right? Well, if it irritates me
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: when they do that, why should I compromise myself and say, well,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: it's okay now.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Let's just lower our standards. Is that what you want?
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Do I want a congressman that becomes nothing but a
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: pawn for whatever the Republican Party tells him to support?
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: That he gets elected, but he's not making decisions using
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: his own brain power. He only does what the Republicans
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: tell him to do. Or what Trump tells him to do.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, why do I like Fetterman? Because Fetterman doesn't
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: always go along with his party. Well, I think that's
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: okay for Republicans to be that way, too.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: Well, you were.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: Bringing up, you were talking about January 6th, you know,
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: this whole thing where, you know, Trump is basically compensating
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: people who had to get lawyers and everything. They could
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: find a grandma halfway across the country, but they couldn't
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: find who had the cocaine in the White House under
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: Joe Biden. I mean, come on. There's obvious corruption going
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: on here, and the deep state went after anything that
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: anybody that disagreed with them. And I don't think that's right.
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: I agree.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: I'm in total agreement with you.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's right to seek the IRS on
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Democrats or Republicans, period. I don't think that's what these
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: agencies are for. I am at the point where To
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: show you how I always thought, if I go back
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: years ago, it seemed to me it didn't matter what
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: a judge was, what party, Democrat or Republican, that they
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: pretty well ruled on the law and what was in
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: front of them. Somewhere along the line in my lifetime,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: that changed. Somewhere, somehow, that changed. to where all of
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: a sudden politics became involved. I think if you go
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: in front of a judge, you should be judged. It
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: shouldn't matter if you're a Democrat or Republican or if
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: that judge is Democrat or Republican. That should have nothing
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: to do with the case that's presented to them. It
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: has to do with justice. But anymore, that isn't what's
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: happening now. And I find that deeply disturbing. I don't
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: support it. I absolutely don't support it. And am I
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: supposed to now? If the Republicans do it, am I
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: supposed to say, well, now that's okay because the Republicans
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: are doing it?
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: No. You have to find people that will interpret the
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: Constitution and all the amendments right down to the wire,
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: you know?
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think that this woman that Biden put
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court is a ding-a-ling.
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: And I think she's an absolute ding-a-ling. But do I
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: support Biden saying, well, I've got to put a woman
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: on and it's got to be a woman, it's got
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: to be a black female? No, I think that's racist.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: You've eliminated everybody else from consideration because she has to
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: be a black female. And when you look at it,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: you're saying this is a great legal mind that belongs
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: in the Supreme Court?
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: The answer to that is absolutely not.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't support that anymore if the Republicans would do
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: something like that. Find somebody that's going to come in
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: and view it from a constitutional standpoint, not a political
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: standpoint of I'm a liberal or a conservative. You're there
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: to interpret the law and the Constitution. That's all I'm
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: looking for. That's all I want.
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: So this black woman he appointed to the court, how
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: did she get an identification? Can she even vote? And
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: she's on the court. I mean, what's this Democratic Party doing?
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: Well, that's a shining example. It's a shining example.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Am I supposed to sit back when the stock market
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: was soaring and Main Street was hurting and we criticized
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: it under Biden, high gas prices and all this kind
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: of stuff, that it's not okay to criticize it under Trump.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: We're all supposed to say, oh, this is great, paying
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: $ 4. 75 a gallon. High energy prices are okay. I mean,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: that's what my problem is with people is, see, some
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: of these Trump supporters, and I find them to be bizarre,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: they have checked their brain at the damn door.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: They stop thinking.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: They criticized Biden when we had high fuel prices and
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: affordability issues, and they made excuses for it. Well, we're
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: right back with those problems, and you're hearing excuses again. Well,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: that doesn't ease the pain that the citizens of our
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: country are suffering as a result of it. So am
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: I supposed to say, oh, high gas prices are okay
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: because Trump decides he wants to go after Iran? I'll
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: be the first guy to say I was not staying
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: up at night worrying about Iran and a nuclear weapon.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: And I think Trump got into a mess and it's
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: taken much longer than he thought it would. And he's
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: in a quagmire and he's going to have to try
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: to figure out what to do now and how to
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: get out of this.
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: Right, but how long has Trump been president? Like a
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: year and a half? I mean, just thinking he shut
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: down the border immediately.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I understand all that. I'm not talking about that. I
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: don't have a problem with that. I'm not against Trump.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: I'm against some of the stuff that Trump has done.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, don't you get it? I mean, I can
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: hash the border. And frankly, to be blunt with you,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I think he should be doing more on the border.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: I don't think he's.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Pursuing it as aggressively as he should be right now.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I think you've seen it curtail since Minnesota. So, yeah,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: he was getting the border shut, but he needs to
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: get these people out of the country. But you don't
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: see that aggressively happening anymore now, do you?
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: What happened to that?
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: He's got so much on the table. Just like this
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: ballroom thing, everybody's complaining. He's probably not even going to
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: enjoy it. If you look back at the..
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Stand by. Just stand by. Back with him and more
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: in a minute. Stay tuned.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: Radio 570, WKBN.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: This is Radio 570, WKBN. And Ron Furb onward we go. Okay,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: go ahead with what you were saying.
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: With my rant. All right. How about if I switch
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: it up?
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: No, but do you understand what I'm saying? You can't have...
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying is... The people that were criticizing stuff
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: under Biden, all of a sudden Trump gets a pass
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: on it because they're Republicans or Trump. Well, that isn't...
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: You're checking your brain at the door. That is ridiculous.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: If you're critical of it... I'm sitting here, I believe,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: in America first. I believe affordability is a major factor
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: right now in this economy.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: And I think... High gas prices do matter.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: And I think the economy would be far better off,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: and Americans would be far better off, if he never
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: got involved in Iran. And I think Iran was a
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: huge mistake. And I think he's got a difficult situation
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: on how to get out of it. And what to do.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Because I think as this drags on, it just gets worse.
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: The jury..
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: Is still out on that for me. I think he
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: will find a way to resolve it and stay safe.
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: I truly believe that. I mean, he's pretty smart. But, hey,
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: my wife told me the other day, she goes, when
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: did you get done? And I told her, like, three
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: different things. And she goes, wow. I said, well, you know,
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: I set my goals high every day. If you set, like,
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: a goal, you know, like, doing ten things, you get
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: three done, you know, you're doing good. So she goes, yes.
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: You set your goals high, but your expectations low. What
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: do you think about that?
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: I think it's good because when you call, I always
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: have low expectations.
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: And then you're thinking, when's he going to go, right?
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: Well, you've got to go now, I know.
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: I think so.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: All right, you're on the air.
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: Good afternoon, sir.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: I think the biggest takeaway that I have from what
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: happened with Massey last night is that if you're going
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: to go after the king, you better take him out.
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: Because if not, the king's going to come after you,
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: and he's probably going to win, because he's got more power,
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: more clout, and more tools in his arsenal than you do.
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: And I think the problem is, when you have a
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: Congress that is so closely divided, to the point where
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: you only, what do the Republicans have, three or four
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: or five seat margin at most? So when you've got
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: a couple people that just decide to vote their conscience,
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: and I agree with you. I mean, I like a
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: lot of what Massey stands for, and I applaud him
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: for that. However, when the rubber... it's time for the
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: rubber to hit the road, and you've got to get
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: stuff passed or not passed, and you've got people that
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: are going to vote their conscience and stand on principle
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: and obstruct what you're trying to get done legislatively, don't
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: be surprised when they come and take you out. And
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: I think that's what you saw last night.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: What you saw last night was a guy that's never debated,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: a challenger who never would debate the incumbents. You saw
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: a stealth Trojan candidate that you really don't know what
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: he believes in and what he stands for, other than
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: whatever Trump tells him. That's what was voted in last night.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: And is that what you want representing you?
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying whether I want it or not. I'm
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: just saying that when the rubber hits the road and
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: a party has to get stuff passed legislatively, if there
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: were 30 or 40, if the Republicans had a much
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: larger margin, let's say the margin was a 20-seat margin,
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: you could afford to have the Rand Pauls and the
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: Massys and Marjorie Taylor Greens that sit there and say,
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: I'm standing on principle and I'm not going to vote
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: for this because the legislation is still going to pass.
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: But when you've got just a couple votes and you've
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: only got a couple people that are holding everything up,
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: your legislative agenda.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Stand by, stand by. Back with Richard Pharmacist. More of
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: your calls. We're here tonight till 6.
• 40:50

• 41:38
  Speaker 9: And if he were to even stand trial, of course,
• 41:40
  Speaker 9: there are questions over his health. Also, it could take
• 41:43
