Speaker 1: Now Ron verb on news radio, five 70 WKBN.
0:05
Speaker 2: Well, good afternoon. Three Oh five in the afternoon. It's
0:08
Speaker 2: 80 degrees. It's a lovely day on Tuesday, August 25th.
0:11
Speaker 2: Already Ron verb from the kingdom of Mahoney. We are
0:14
Speaker 2: underway here at three, three, zero seven, two nine 99 77.
0:16
Speaker 2: It's Tuesday, right? Yes. Three, three, zero seven, two nine
0:21
Speaker 2: 99 77. We'll get you through to us here on
0:23
Speaker 2: news radio, five 70 WKBN. So keep that in mind. Um,
0:29
Speaker 2: I got to tell you on yesterday's broadcast on yesterday's broadcast,
0:35
Speaker 2: it is, I've been laughing all, uh, all day till
0:41
Speaker 2: I heard the sad news about Dolly Parton. But, uh,
0:44
Speaker 2: I got to tell you, JJ, the Trumpster, his calls
0:47
Speaker 2: are just getting better and better and better. I mean,
0:51
Speaker 2: if you, if you were listening yesterday at all, um,
0:56
Speaker 2: When he was talking about how he was so busy
1:00
Speaker 2: over the weekend and what he was doing, I was
1:02
Speaker 2: just reflecting on his call after he did it yesterday
1:06
Speaker 2: in a program and today. And it still makes me
1:11
Speaker 2: smile and laugh. I mean, he was just— J. J. is a
1:15
Speaker 2: great actor. He really is like theater of the mind.
1:18
Speaker 3: J.J.
1:18
Speaker 2: The liberal, a.k.a. J.J. the Trumpster now, since he did
1:22
Speaker 2: have electric shock therapy. And how about what he calls
1:27
Speaker 2: up getting angry at people when they're getting on saying
1:30
Speaker 2: nasty things about Trump and that kind of stuff. So
1:34
Speaker 2: now he's JJ the Trumpster because of electric shock therapy.
1:37
Speaker 2: I mean, it's really clever. I mean, he's really brought
1:40
Speaker 2: a smile to my face here. Anyway, in a sadness today,
1:44
Speaker 2: what is this is really this is unique in the
1:49
Speaker 2: sense of I'm genuinely saddened by the passing of Dolly Parton.
1:55
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm genuinely saddened by it. And, you know,
1:59
Speaker 2: as I sit down here today, I'm saddened by it.
2:03
Speaker 2: Isn't that strange? Somebody that I've never met in person,
2:07
Speaker 2: and I've never met her in person, but... I'm certainly
2:09
Speaker 2: familiar with watching her on television sing and listening to
2:14
Speaker 2: her music and watching her. She was just such a
2:17
Speaker 2: ball of energy to me. There's this much I love
2:21
Speaker 2: about Dolly Parton. She was just so upbeat of a person,
2:26
Speaker 2: such a positive person. She was just a positive person
2:30
Speaker 2: when she was performing. Dolly Parton wasn't there like Bruce
2:34
Speaker 2: Springsteen and these people talking about politics or how you
2:37
Speaker 2: should vote. Or any of that nonsense. Dolly Parton was
2:41
Speaker 2: simply there as an entertainer to entertain. And she was positive.
2:48
Speaker 2: She was upbeat. She was energetic. And just a terrific
2:54
Speaker 2: writer and singer. And the times that I would see
2:59
Speaker 2: her on some of her performances on YouTube or wherever
3:03
Speaker 2: you would see some of them. It was just a
3:07
Speaker 2: pleasure to watch. Now, I never had the opportunity to
3:09
Speaker 2: see her in person. I was talking to my one
3:11
Speaker 2: buddy Dave today, and he saw her. He goes to
3:15
Speaker 2: a lot of country shows, and he said Dolly Parton
3:17
Speaker 2: was probably the best show. It was probably the best
3:20
Speaker 2: show for him. I mean, it was probably the best
3:26
Speaker 2: show that he's seen. And he sees a lot of
3:28
Speaker 2: country shows. It kind of saddens me because I know
3:33
Speaker 2: that she was not feeling well for a period of time.
3:36
Speaker 2: And you were kind of hoping that she would get
3:40
Speaker 2: back out and perform again. And maybe, just maybe, you'd
3:43
Speaker 2: get an opportunity to catch one of her shows. So positive,
3:48
Speaker 2: so upbeat, so energetic. What a great entertainer. What an
3:54
Speaker 2: absolute great entertainer. Great songwriter, great performer. And it's sad.
4:00
Speaker 2: And yet... even though you've never met her, there's like
4:04
Speaker 2: a sadness that you have that you feel a sadness,
4:09
Speaker 2: you know, breaks your heart. You feel a sadness. Isn't
4:11
Speaker 2: that a strange connection that you're going to have to people?
4:17
Speaker 2: I mean, because you feel like you really genuinely do
4:20
Speaker 2: know her just from over the years. And it's just
4:25
Speaker 2: kind of sad. And it reminds you time marches on.
4:27
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter how much money you have. It doesn't
4:29
Speaker 2: matter how important you are. We all meet our maker
4:32
Speaker 2: at some point, so you better enjoy a lot of
4:37
Speaker 2: your life. And she was married to that. Can you
4:39
Speaker 2: imagine her husband who stayed pretty well out of the limelight,
4:42
Speaker 2: and she never got divorced, stayed married to him, and
4:46
Speaker 2: just was kind of impressive. So that part is sad today.
4:54
Speaker 2: It is sad. Comments?
5:04
Speaker 4: 330-729-9977.
5:05
Speaker 2: Almost forgot the phone number from it. I was thinking
5:10
Speaker 2: about Dolly Parton. 330-729-9977. 330-729-9977. I mentioned about JJ's call
5:15
Speaker 2: yesterday and the joy of it. I had another call
5:19
Speaker 2: yesterday that was just really, really entertaining. A woman called me.
5:22
Speaker 2: She's like 85 years old. And she was just very interesting.
5:28
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes a lot, a lot of times people say, well,
5:30
Speaker 2: I don't know. Uh, sometimes I stopped talking about, uh,
5:34
Speaker 2: Trump and politics and stuff like that. And just enjoy
5:37
Speaker 2: a time. I really enjoyed my conversation with her just
5:40
Speaker 2: as I enjoy my conversations with fifth Avenue. Um, even
5:43
Speaker 2: though sometimes he wants to talk politics, but, uh, it
5:47
Speaker 2: brings me joy just to have, um, outside of political
5:51
Speaker 2: conversations with fifth Avenue. And, uh, Because I sense him
5:56
Speaker 2: as a guy that's really enjoying his retirement and just
6:01
Speaker 2: his life, which is kind of cool. Just the diversity, gang,
6:05
Speaker 2: the diversity of the program. That's what I'm here to say,
6:08
Speaker 2: the diversity of it. You're on the air.
6:11
Speaker 3: How you doing, Ron?
6:14
Speaker 2: There he is from Fort Lauderdale. It's Frank. Some love him,
6:19
Speaker 2: some hate him. But we always welcome them. And I
6:23
Speaker 2: think economically you've been more spot on as to what's
6:26
Speaker 2: going on. By the way, let me pick your brain
6:29
Speaker 2: a little bit. What do you make of this latest
6:31
Speaker 2: move that they're doing against Iran, if you will, with
6:38
Speaker 2: the monetary bomb they say they're using?
6:43
Speaker 3: Well, it's not going to work. And I don't believe
6:47
Speaker 3: the world is facing a shortage of oil. because of
6:51
Speaker 3: the Iran war, the damage to the global economy is
6:56
Speaker 3: higher shipping rates, higher insurance premiums, refinery margins, higher diesel prices,
7:06
Speaker 3: higher electricity costs. I could go on and on. Wait, wait, wait.
7:13
Speaker 3: Don't forget the higher cost of government borrowing, Ron.
7:17
Speaker 2: And I want people to listen to what you're saying.
7:19
Speaker 2: Because as you're talking, Frank, and a lot of people don't,
7:22
Speaker 2: we look at the diesel price. Now it's like if
7:25
Speaker 2: I see it at $ 4, I want to go fill up.
7:29
Speaker 2: Because I see it places that it would be $ 4. 20, $ 4. 30.
7:32
Speaker 2: And some of these oil guys say, hey, the worst
7:36
Speaker 2: is yet to come. Basically, they continue to say, you've
7:40
Speaker 2: got about 30 million less barrels of oil a day
7:43
Speaker 2: on a closed straight. That's a big hole that you're digging.
7:47
Speaker 2: The problem is there's a shortage of oil because of
7:51
Speaker 2: the lack of being able to transport it in that sense.
7:56
Speaker 2: But you're 100% right. We are under attack. My electric
7:59
Speaker 2: bill has doubled. Gas is high. And I looked at
8:03
Speaker 2: diesel the other day. I don't use it. But guess what?
8:08
Speaker 2: I need it for people to drive trucks. and farm
8:11
Speaker 2: tractors and all that. Diesel's very important. And I think
8:14
Speaker 2: it was like $ 5. 75 a gallon. I mean, if I'm
8:18
Speaker 2: not mistaken, does that sound right to you, truckers out there,
8:23
Speaker 2: $ 5. 75 a gallon? And jet fuel, I was reading about
8:26
Speaker 2: jet fuel, and that is just through the roof expensive
8:30
Speaker 2: right now. I mean, it's a huge problem getting it,
8:34
Speaker 2: and the airline's got a serious problem. Some of them
8:37
Speaker 2: are even canceling some of the flights. Have you seen that?
8:42
Speaker 3: No, not recently, but, you know, even if the Straits
8:45
Speaker 3: of Hormuz is open, if insuring ships is too costly,
8:51
Speaker 3: or if the crews refuse to accept the risk, it
8:54
Speaker 3: has the same effect of being closed or there being
8:58
Speaker 3: an actual shortage of oil.
9:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, if you have, what, 20 or 30 less
9:02
Speaker 2: million barrels on the market a day... as we've had
9:06
Speaker 2: for quite some time, you definitely, and we've been draining
9:09
Speaker 2: our strategic oil reserves. Well, you've kind of been delaying
9:12
Speaker 2: the inevitable, wouldn't you say, as far as prices going up?
9:17
Speaker 5: Sure.
9:18
Speaker 3: And I keep an eye on diesel because global economies
9:23
Speaker 3: run on diesel. Trucks transport food and consumer goods. Farmers
9:30
Speaker 3: operate machinery. Construction companies operate operate heavy equipment, and emergency generators,
9:39
Speaker 3: protect hospitals from power shortages. They all need diesel. And
9:44
Speaker 3: when diesel prices rise, the price of everything rises with it.
9:50
Speaker 2: Right. And you bring up a good point, the cost
9:53
Speaker 2: of diesel as well as, I don't know if it's
9:55
Speaker 2: different or not, the fuel that you use for shipping.
9:58
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's diesel or it's a different,
10:01
Speaker 2: all right, shipping, big deal. And I know jet fuel
10:06
Speaker 2: is different, but there's big issues in all three of
10:09
Speaker 2: those arenas. just because of this nonsense that he started.
10:14
Speaker 2: I mean, he's got this, he's got this whole situation.
10:18
Speaker 2: He being Trump so messed up as far as the
10:21
Speaker 2: price of everything. And, And now remember, we're going to
10:24
Speaker 2: bomb them back to the Stone Age. Everything keeps changing
10:27
Speaker 2: with it. We got them on the ropes. They want
10:30
Speaker 2: to negotiate a settlement. We heard that 35 times. We
10:35
Speaker 2: got the 60-day ceasefire. They want to negotiate. Well, we
10:38
Speaker 2: did that once. We did that twice. Then he would
10:41
Speaker 2: constantly say, we're going to bomb them back to the
10:42
Speaker 2: Stone Age. Now we're not even talking about that anymore.
10:45
Speaker 2: Now we're talking about these economic sanctions. We're going to
10:48
Speaker 2: get them this way. This is a way. This is
10:50
Speaker 2: going to do them in. And I keep saying to people... Iran,
10:54
Speaker 2: all they have to do is survive to win. If
10:57
Speaker 2: they can simply survive, then they win.
11:01
Speaker 3: Well, Ron, I want to add more to your question
11:04
Speaker 3: to me on Iran. Every vessel delayed or redirected reduces
11:11
Speaker 3: available shipping capacity and increases freight rates everywhere. And insurers
11:18
Speaker 3: must reprice the probability of a tanker being captured damaged
11:23
Speaker 3: or destroyed, and refineries must compete for alternative supplies. Now,
11:30
Speaker 3: countries dependent upon Gulf energy begin building precautionary inventories, and
11:37
Speaker 3: energy traders add a geopolitical premium to guess the probability
11:43
Speaker 3: of a missile striking a ship or a refinery or
11:47
Speaker 3: a pipeline or an export terminal, and that's a lot
11:51
Speaker 3: of uncertainty there. But I also wanted to say that
11:56
Speaker 3: long-term bond yields are rising in the U.S., Europe, and
12:01
Speaker 3: Japan because governments can't keep massive spending and they can't
12:06
Speaker 3: keep borrowing without limit. And, you know, the national debt
12:12
Speaker 3: is now over $ 40 trillion as of last Tuesday. Let
12:17
Speaker 3: me quote one economist. He said, what we have done
12:20
Speaker 3: to our grandchildren... is beyond criminal. We've condemned them to
12:25
Speaker 3: a future of poverty and indebtedness. And Israel and the
12:31
Speaker 3: politicians have destroyed the future of the country. Ron, the
12:36
Speaker 3: yield on 30-year Treasury bonds just reached 5.3 percent, the
12:41
Speaker 3: highest in 20 years. And Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said
12:46
Speaker 3: he is going to double the size of government debt
12:49
Speaker 3: buybacks And yields on government debt had a big drop
12:54
Speaker 3: on the news, but it worked for only one day.
12:57
Speaker 3: The next day, they spiked again. And yields on 10-year
13:02
Speaker 3: treasuries are the main benchmark for auto loans and mortgages.
13:09
Speaker 3: They're not now spiking, too. We just can't keep on
13:13
Speaker 3: borrowing and spending the way we're doing. Oh, 10-year treasuries
13:18
Speaker 3: also have impact credit card debts. And we, American consumers,
13:24
Speaker 3: have the highest credit card debt in history.
13:27
Speaker 5: Yeah.
13:28
Speaker 2: There's not a lot of good news out there as
13:30
Speaker 2: far as it goes. And I don't see any efforts, really,
13:33
Speaker 2: to do anything to get spending under control. And if
13:38
Speaker 2: you really look at it, the issue of Social Security in, what,
13:44
Speaker 2: seven years? Medicare. I mean, there's some serious problems that
13:49
Speaker 2: need to be dealt with and addressed as far as
13:52
Speaker 2: as far as where we're going with all of this,
13:55
Speaker 2: and there's lack of activity on it. Do away with
13:59
Speaker 2: the cap and solve the problem. Infuse some money in it.
14:03
Speaker 2: But stop spending all of this money on all these
14:06
Speaker 2: foreign countries. We simply can't afford it. The people that
14:10
Speaker 2: charge both Republicans and Democrats, Frank, they don't really seem
14:13
Speaker 2: to give a damn what they're doing to future generations
14:16
Speaker 2: or what they're doing to us, the current generation, by
14:19
Speaker 2: driving this thing so far into the ground.
14:22
Speaker 3: Well, you know, both Republican and Democrat voters keep voting
14:27
Speaker 3: in these big spenders. They don't seem to care about
14:31
Speaker 3: the future of the country and their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. But,
14:37
Speaker 3: you know, there's no way out. The country is bankrupt,
14:45
Speaker 3: and they just keep kicking the can down the road,
14:48
Speaker 3: like with the bailing out the Japanese yen.
14:52
Speaker 2: Yeah.
14:53
Speaker 3: You know, they're very clever. They don't want Japan to
14:57
Speaker 3: sell massive amounts of treasuries to pay for oil and food.
15:03
Speaker 2: Right, because then interest rates would go up on the treasuries.
15:07
Speaker 2: It was in our selfish interest to do what we
15:09
Speaker 2: did to bail out Japan because they didn't want... Japan
15:12
Speaker 2: has a trillion dollars in treasuries. If they start selling
15:14
Speaker 2: a bunch of them off, they say the treasury rate
15:17
Speaker 2: will go up and then the debt will go up
15:18
Speaker 2: even more. This country, they put it in a fiscal mess.
15:23
Speaker 2: A fiscal mess.
15:26
Speaker 3: Well, Ron, you're absolutely right because they didn't do it
15:29
Speaker 3: because they love Japan. They did not want... Treasury yields
15:35
Speaker 3: to spike higher if Japan had massive sell-offs of their treasuries.
15:42
Speaker 3: They want to keep spending and spending and spending and
15:47
Speaker 3: have lower yields on bonds. So they can keep spending like...
15:53
Speaker 3: Drunken sailors.
15:54
Speaker 2: Totally oblivious to the debts. It says oil drops as U.S.
15:58
Speaker 2: shifts to economic pressure on Iran, easing fears of renewed war. Well,
16:04
Speaker 2: guess what? We'll see how it works out and see
16:07
Speaker 2: what happens with oil. All right, Frank, appreciate your insight.
16:12
Speaker 2: I thank you for it. All right, Frank. Frank's been
16:15
Speaker 2: more right than he has been wrong when he talks
16:18
Speaker 2: about some of the stuff going on economically. For all
16:21
Speaker 2: of those Frank haters out there, maybe they should listen.
16:24
Speaker 2: News Radio 570 WQN, 322 in the afternoon. On News
16:30
Speaker 2: Radio 570 WQN, let me see here. You're on here.
16:35
Speaker 6: I'll meet Ebenezer Badmouth and Drunken Sailors.
16:38
Speaker 2: Well, listen.
16:39
Speaker 6: That's where it ends for me.
16:41
Speaker 2: You're a fan of the Drunken Sailor?
16:44
Speaker 6: That's a good time. Can you say you've been at
16:48
Speaker 6: the Waffle House at 3 a.m. with the Navy SEAL
16:51
Speaker 6: and three strippers?
16:52
Speaker 2: I can. That's a good time, brother. Stand by. Back
16:56
Speaker 2: with you and more in a minute. Weather and Talk
17:02
Speaker 2: Station 570 WKBN. Well, Heidi Ho, 325, 80 degrees. Ron
17:08
Speaker 2: Verp from the Kingdom of Mahoney. All right, Jake, go
17:11
Speaker 2: ahead with your insight of the day.
17:16
Speaker 6: Yeah, this, you know, negativity. There's nothing that can be done. Really?
17:25
Speaker 2: I think people expect more to be done than what
17:29
Speaker 2: is being done. I mean, when people are talking about
17:31
Speaker 2: the $ 40 trillion debt, listen, it's disturbing because it is
17:36
Speaker 2: strapping this country. It's ridiculous. Yeah.
17:41
Speaker 6: But you can't go through a good life saying there's
17:46
Speaker 6: nothing that can be done. Okay, all right, that's a
17:50
Speaker 6: defeatist attitude, just give up. Okay, what do I do,
17:53
Speaker 6: close up shop and huddle in my house?
17:58
Speaker 2: I don't think that's his point. I think his point
18:00
Speaker 2: is it's sad that nothing's getting done. Something should have
18:03
Speaker 2: been done long ago, and still nothing is getting done.
18:07
Speaker 2: You're seeing a $ 40 trillion debt continue to grow. Now
18:12
Speaker 2: they're finagling to try to keep interest rates down. On
18:16
Speaker 2: the $ 40 trillion that they owe. But they're still adding
18:18
Speaker 2: to the debt every day. And interest rates are ticking up. Well,
18:23
Speaker 2: you've heard this. And instead of if you owed money
18:28
Speaker 2: and you went from one credit card and put it
18:30
Speaker 2: on another one, that doesn't solve the problem. It just
18:33
Speaker 2: delays the inevitable.
18:35
Speaker 6: It doesn't? Yes, you're absolutely correct. And you know about
18:40
Speaker 6: compound interest, right?
18:42
Speaker 5: Well, what happens?
18:43
Speaker 6: So Trump came in. Now, he didn't get everything right,
18:48
Speaker 6: but that's what was going to happen. Now, we're still
18:51
Speaker 6: trying to figure out how we can stop it. I
18:55
Speaker 6: get it. You don't like this, blah, blah, blah. And
18:59
Speaker 6: the other guy got me the other day.
19:01
Speaker 2: Okay, well, wait a second. Pause for a second. I
19:04
Speaker 2: applauded Elon Musk and what he was doing, where they
19:10
Speaker 2: were talking almost $ 2 trillion a year in just ridiculous spending.
19:15
Speaker 2: But what happened to Elon Musk? I mean, he had
19:17
Speaker 2: the technology and the people, and they destroyed the man. They,
19:22
Speaker 2: being the Democrat Party, did everything they could do from
19:26
Speaker 2: terrorizing his customers, firebombing his dealerships, calling him all kinds
19:32
Speaker 2: of names.
19:33
Speaker 6: Just regular people's cars, destroying regular people's cars.
19:36
Speaker 2: So he had to leave his mission to go back
19:39
Speaker 2: and address his company. And the Democrats view that as
19:42
Speaker 2: a great victory. And I'm sure some Republicans, too, viewed
19:46
Speaker 2: it as a great victory because he's gone. And I
19:50
Speaker 2: thought to myself, you're not going to see anybody else
19:53
Speaker 2: ever deal with this wasteful spending and expose it like
19:58
Speaker 2: he was doing. And I bet you plenty of it
20:01
Speaker 2: is still going on to this day. You've got a
20:02
Speaker 2: military budget. They can't even complete an audit. That's ridiculous.
20:09
Speaker 6: And it's everywhere, and it's everything. However, this is the
20:14
Speaker 6: thing that, I don't know, that I'm looking at and saying, wow,
20:18
Speaker 6: that lady in Minnesota went to jail, and she's going
20:21
Speaker 6: to be there for 40 years.
20:23
Speaker 5: Why?
20:24
Speaker 3: Because of the fraud.
20:25
Speaker 6: The fraud that the establishment said didn't exist. Oh, waste, fraud,
20:29
Speaker 6: and abuse, that doesn't amount to anything. Oh, what did
20:34
Speaker 6: Ebenezer say one time? Oh, it doesn't amount to a
20:37
Speaker 6: tinker's dam.
20:38
Speaker 2: Yeah.
20:39
Speaker 6: Yes, it does. That's why we're in the position we're in,
20:42
Speaker 6: because nobody cares about it except Donald Trump. And what
20:45
Speaker 6: I'm saying is it's still happening every day. Somebody's going
20:49
Speaker 6: to jail for fraud, for stealing from the U.S. taxpayers.
20:54
Speaker 6: It's happening. It never happened in my life. It's happening now.
20:58
Speaker 6: Is it as fast as we want? No. Is it
21:01
Speaker 6: as much as we want? Do we want them under
21:03
Speaker 6: the jail? Yes. But it's happening now. It never happened before.
21:09
Speaker 2: Well, how about this when you're talking about oddities? I
21:12
Speaker 2: was reading this this morning. The Department of Homeland Security
21:15
Speaker 2: is calling out Boston Democrat Mayor, this Michelle Wu. She's
21:19
Speaker 2: the mayor in Boston. They're saying she's unhinged her unhinged
21:24
Speaker 2: effort to dissuade business owners from from leasing to the U.S.
21:28
Speaker 2: Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the city. equating to hunting
21:32
Speaker 2: down private property owners. This is the mayor of Boston.
21:37
Speaker 2: And I'm reading this thinking, is this person even an American?
21:40
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't figure this out. After Boston banned
21:43
Speaker 2: ICE vehicles from using city-owned parking lots to stage operations...
21:48
Speaker 2: ICE issued a notice seeking to rent hundreds of parking
21:51
Speaker 2: spaces in the city for five years. In response, Wu
21:55
Speaker 2: and outspoken opponents of President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement agenda
22:00
Speaker 2: issued an open letter to parking garages and lot owners
22:03
Speaker 2: shot Boston in which she revealed the city had submitted
22:06
Speaker 2: a freedom of information request for any local response to ICE.
22:10
Speaker 2: Stand by. I want to finish this with you. Hang
22:12
Speaker 2: on a second. I'll come back to you in a minute.
22:14
Speaker 2: Caught us in line. Stand by. Ron Verb, Tuesday afternoon
22:17
Speaker 2: from the Kingdom of Mahoney. News Radio 570 WKVN.
22:22
Speaker 4: Ron is set at $ 1. 1 million for a woman charged
22:27
Speaker 4: in the fatal stabbing of a 21-year-old man in Toledo
22:30
Speaker 4: on Saturday. 46-year-old Sophia Harris is accused of killing Tyler
22:34
Speaker 4: McKee near Scott High School. McKee later died at the hospital.
22:38
Speaker 4: There has been no word on a motive. The trial
22:41
Speaker 4: is underway for a man accused of shooting his co-workers
22:44
Speaker 4: at a new Albany warehouse. Bruce Foster III is pleading
22:47
Speaker 4: not guilty by reason of insanity to four counts of
22:50
Speaker 4: aggravated murder and other charges in connection with the 2025
22:54
Speaker 4: attack that killed two people and injured four others. All
22:58
Speaker 4: charges against a former Cincinnati City Council member are being
23:01
Speaker 4: dismissed after being pardoned by President Trump last year. P.J.
23:05
Speaker 4: Sittenfeld had been sentenced to 16 months in prison on
23:08
Speaker 4: charges of bribery and attempted extortion in 2022. In addition,
23:12
Speaker 4: the $ 40, 000 fine he paid must be returned. I'm Andy Betts.
23:29
Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
23:35
Speaker 2: So get a load of this nut job. I just
23:38
Speaker 2: want to pass this along to Jake here. So you
23:40
Speaker 2: have this Wu, who's the mayor of Boston, and she
23:46
Speaker 2: banned ICE vehicles from using any city-owned parking lots to
23:49
Speaker 2: stage operations. ICE issued a notice seeking to rent hundreds
23:52
Speaker 2: of parking spaces in the city for five years. In response, Wu,
23:56
Speaker 2: an outspoken opponent of Trump, In his immigration enforcement agenda,
24:00
Speaker 2: issued an open letter to parking garages and lot owners
24:03
Speaker 2: throughout Boston, which she revealed the city had submitted a
24:06
Speaker 2: freedom of information request for any local response to ICE.
24:10
Speaker 2: In other words, for any local business who agreed to this,
24:14
Speaker 2: she put in a Freedom of Information Act. DHS fired
24:17
Speaker 2: back in an ex post writing that these actions by
24:20
Speaker 2: Sanctuary Mayor Michelle Wu are unhinged. She knows she has
24:24
Speaker 2: no authority to block us from using private property, so
24:28
Speaker 2: she's hunting down private property owners and threatening them for
24:31
Speaker 2: working with ICE because she'd rather intimidate law-abiding Bostonians than
24:36
Speaker 2: get criminal aliens off the streets, wrote DHS. ICE issued
24:41
Speaker 2: a source-sought notice last month for surge parking in 14
24:45
Speaker 2: cities across the country. The notice revealed ICE was seeking
24:48
Speaker 2: $ 249, 000 continuous parking spaces in Boston. In response, Wu issued
24:54
Speaker 2: an official appeal from the city of Boston for garage
24:57
Speaker 2: and lot owners to reject ICE staging facilities. She wrote
25:00
Speaker 2: that were ICE to procure such resources, it would constitute
25:05
Speaker 2: an unprovoked and unwarranted escalation, creating potentially significant risk to
25:09
Speaker 2: the public safety and halting economic activity across our region.
25:13
Speaker 2: She boasted that she joined together with six other cities
25:17
Speaker 2: across greater Boston and signed executive orders prohibiting ICE from
25:21
Speaker 2: staging its operations on municipal property and parking lots. Today,
25:25
Speaker 2: I ask you to join us. Reject any proposition by
25:28
Speaker 2: ICE to facilitate an attack on the people of Boston.
25:31
Speaker 2: Wu also noted that the same day the city submitted
25:34
Speaker 2: a FOIA request for any local responses to ICE. She
25:37
Speaker 2: told the garage and lot owners, we will keep you
25:40
Speaker 2: updated as we push for a response, adding, thank you
25:42
Speaker 2: again for your partnership. So this is the mayor of Boston.
25:48
Speaker 2: I read this article and thought, is this woman even
25:51
Speaker 2: an American? I mean, that was my initial thing. You
25:55
Speaker 2: want to do whatever you can do to prevent ICE
25:58
Speaker 2: from going after people that are in this country illegally,
26:01
Speaker 2: including people that are in here and have committed criminal
26:05
Speaker 2: activities that are illegal. You're more concerned about them than people...
26:11
Speaker 2: that are legally running their parking spaces to ice to
26:15
Speaker 2: enforce the law. It's just you read this stuff. The
26:18
Speaker 2: Democrats have just become so damn nutty. I mean, it
26:22
Speaker 2: is nutty. I mean, this idea of, well, Medicare for all. Well,
26:26
Speaker 2: wait a minute. You pay into Medicare all your life
26:29
Speaker 2: and you've got to be 65 before you can get it.
26:32
Speaker 2: And let's be realistic. Financially, it's not in the best
26:35
Speaker 2: shape either. But they all want to say Medicare for all. Well,
26:38
Speaker 2: how are you supposed to pay for all of that
26:41
Speaker 2: since it's Medicare for all? You no longer have to
26:43
Speaker 2: make it to 65. You no longer pay– you and
26:46
Speaker 2: your employer pay into Medicare all your working life. Now
26:49
Speaker 2: we just want to give it to everybody. I mean
26:51
Speaker 2: all the Democrats want is more handouts to everything. Keep
26:56
Speaker 2: the illegal people here. Give them handouts. Let's give Medicare
27:00
Speaker 2: for all. They are just such– It's such a weird
27:05
Speaker 2: party anymore. I don't know how, even if you despise Trump,
27:09
Speaker 2: I don't know how you could vote for any Democrat
27:12
Speaker 2: based on the platform that they're running on at all.
27:16
Speaker 7: At all.
27:17
Speaker 2: And to think Gavin Newsom's a disaster as a governor,
27:21
Speaker 2: and to think for president, he's a disaster. And AOC
27:25
Speaker 2: is a nitwit to be president. I mean, like I say,
27:30
Speaker 2: I look at Ron DeSantis. He's intelligent. He's well-read. His
27:33
Speaker 2: state is doing well. He runs a great state. I
27:36
Speaker 2: would love to see him become president. But I think
27:39
Speaker 2: he's got the credentials for it. Go ahead.
27:41
Speaker 5: Yeah.
27:43
Speaker 6: No, you're making my point exactly. And when somebody says
27:49
Speaker 6: both of these Republicans and Democrats, that's true, except you've
27:53
Speaker 6: got to work with something. So if 50% of the
27:57
Speaker 6: Republicans are okay and the rest are John Spoon and
28:01
Speaker 6: Mitch McConnell, you've got to deal with them because you
28:04
Speaker 6: can't find 10% of Democrats that are even thinking straight.
28:10
Speaker 6: We have to pick the pothead stroke victim, John Fetterman,
28:15
Speaker 6: to be the standard bearer of American values in the
28:19
Speaker 6: Democratic Party. Can you imagine that three years ago? Can
28:23
Speaker 6: you imagine 10 years ago saying, well, you know what?
28:27
Speaker 6: My son says he's a girl now, so we're going
28:30
Speaker 6: to cut his thing off and call him Jill. And
28:34
Speaker 6: what are you talking about? So with this whole fight,
28:38
Speaker 6: I know some people are only concerned about bonds or
28:40
Speaker 6: money or yields or whatever. That's fine. That's your deal.
28:44
Speaker 6: But I have children, and I have to be concerned
28:48
Speaker 6: about the whole thing. All right. I can't. I can't
28:51
Speaker 6: have this Democrat Party doing what they're doing.
28:54
Speaker 2: Oh, no, there's no way I could. I couldn't vote
28:57
Speaker 2: for Sherrod Brown. Sherrod Brown's running ads like he was
29:00
Speaker 2: never a senator. He's been around forever and supported all
29:03
Speaker 2: of this nonsense. He's running ads like he's a newcomer, like, hey,
29:06
Speaker 2: if I get elected, I'm going to do this. You've
29:08
Speaker 2: been there forever. I know what you've done, and it
29:10
Speaker 2: was a disaster. Thank you, Jake. You're on the air.
29:14
Speaker 6: I am disgusted. How can you take.
29:19
Speaker 5: A quarterback....
29:21
Speaker 6: That has not won any games, and they booed the thing,
29:24
Speaker 6: and they're going to start him on the opening day
29:28
Speaker 6: of the Browns games.
29:31
Speaker 4: What do you think?
29:32
Speaker 2: I don't know. What do I think? I think it's
29:36
Speaker 2: damn disappointing is what I think.
29:38
Speaker 3: It is.
29:39
Speaker 2: And I was looking. The Guardians won last night, right? Yeah,
29:43
Speaker 2: they're doing, oh, this is the run they better do.
29:46
Speaker 6: This is good, you know?
29:47
Speaker 2: I think they're only, what, two and a half games out?
29:49
Speaker 2: Two and a half games out. And last night I
29:53
Speaker 2: was listening as I was laying in the rack. I
29:55
Speaker 2: was listening to the Guardians game. And I made it
29:59
Speaker 2: to the final, but then.
30:02
Speaker 2: I didn't make it to the postgame show because it
30:04
Speaker 2: was like lights out. It was pretty late, wasn't it? Yes,
30:07
Speaker 2: but at least they won, and they're two and a
30:10
Speaker 2: half games out. So they're on the comeback trail, and
30:14
Speaker 2: let's hope they continue to do that. I can't even
30:17
Speaker 2: think about the Browns right now, other than how disappointing
30:20
Speaker 2: that is.
30:21
Speaker 5: It is.
30:23
Speaker 2: I waited.
30:24
Speaker 6: I waited.
30:25
Speaker 2: I tried to call three times. I was on hold,
30:27
Speaker 2: but I guess that.
30:29
Speaker 6: Everybody, their frustration.
30:32
Speaker 2: Nobody likes it. It's frustrating. So I'm hoping, let's see,
30:38
Speaker 2: YSU has a game Thursday. Thursday? I'm hoping for a
30:42
Speaker 2: good football season from YSU. Hard to imagine it's already
30:46
Speaker 2: football season. I mean, it's high school and YSU football.
30:50
Speaker 2: It's already football season. And I'm looking, thinking, where did
30:54
Speaker 2: summer go? And when the Canfield Fair is here in
30:58
Speaker 2: the beginning of September, that's the official end in my
31:01
Speaker 2: neck of the woods. All right.
31:02
Speaker 6: Do you think Ohio State will be good this year?
31:09
Speaker 2: Usually.
31:09
Speaker 4: Okay.
31:10
Speaker 3: Maybe.
31:11
Speaker 5: Have a good day, buddy.
31:12
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's hard to predict on any of
31:14
Speaker 2: that stuff. You're on air.
31:22
Speaker 5: Hey, good afternoon.
31:24
Speaker 2: Good afternoon to you, too.
31:25
Speaker 5: Hey, what are you doing? Some construction around you or something, huh?
31:30
Speaker 2: Construction around me? We got construction going on everywhere around me.
31:35
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't care where you go on 680.
31:39
Speaker 2: Everything's a nightmare as far as construction. The only good
31:42
Speaker 2: news I can report is they finally got that bridge
31:44
Speaker 2: open on 224 before the fair got here. That had
31:48
Speaker 2: been closed for a couple of years when they were closed.
31:51
Speaker 2: redoing the bridge so that's that's finally done but there's
31:55
Speaker 2: detours and i don't care if it's a freeway or
31:58
Speaker 2: locally all over the place it's a it's a pain
32:01
Speaker 2: in the.
32:01
Speaker 5: Arse well think about it well we won't be here
32:04
Speaker 5: for the 20 more years we'll be doing it.
32:05
Speaker 2: Again well there you go there you.
32:09
Speaker 5: Go i don't know about this it's when i talk
32:13
Speaker 5: to younger people of course that's a lot.
32:18
Speaker 2: But well define a younger person they don't.
32:20
Speaker 5: Know what to think anymore You got one on one
32:22
Speaker 5: side saying no, the other one on the other side
32:25
Speaker 5: saying we're trying to help you. And then neither one
32:27
Speaker 5: of them have got a way to help the people
32:30
Speaker 5: out without having to spend so damn much money doing it.
32:34
Speaker 2: Well, isn't that what the problem is? Listen, I think
32:37
Speaker 2: it's a problem of Democrats and Republicans. I mean, we're
32:41
Speaker 2: $ 40 trillion and growing in debt, and Trump's growing in
32:43
Speaker 2: debt at astronomical amounts right now. And it's like, well,
32:47
Speaker 2: wait a minute. Exactly when are you going to... work
32:51
Speaker 2: on spending less money and getting rid of this burden
32:56
Speaker 2: you're putting on all of us now as far as
32:58
Speaker 2: how many of our tax dollars go to paying the
33:03
Speaker 2: interest on it alone. I don't see any desire from
33:06
Speaker 2: any of these people in politics to do a single
33:09
Speaker 2: damn thing about it other than stay the course, which
33:12
Speaker 2: is a nightmare.
33:14
Speaker 5: You're right. It's a total nightmare. We need to vote
33:16
Speaker 5: the Democrats out. We need to vote the Republicans out. But,
33:19
Speaker 5: I mean, in this last newscast, did you hear where
33:22
Speaker 5: Trump said it was okay to let this guy out
33:24
Speaker 5: of jail and give him back his money that he
33:26
Speaker 5: had to pay on a fine? What kind of nonsense
33:28
Speaker 5: is that?
33:30
Speaker 2: I missed it.
33:31
Speaker 5: But.
33:35
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, it's if you're asking me
33:39
Speaker 2: once again, I tell you, I will vote for Republicans
33:41
Speaker 2: over Democrats. The Democrats agenda is just too crazy for me.
33:46
Speaker 2: I mean, I do not go along with this. We
33:48
Speaker 2: can't tell you what a woman is. I don't go
33:50
Speaker 2: along with the transgender stuff. I don't go along with
33:52
Speaker 2: their social agenda at all. I don't go along with
33:56
Speaker 2: their immigration standard at all. I don't I don't agree
34:00
Speaker 2: with them on law enforcement. I nice. I don't agree
34:03
Speaker 2: with him on anything, really. I mean, Medicare for all.
34:07
Speaker 2: I don't buy any of the crap that they're peddling.
34:10
Speaker 2: And so I can't vote for any. Democrats on the scene.
34:15
Speaker 2: So I will vote for Republicans, even if they're the
34:18
Speaker 2: lesser two evils, which, if I think about it, has
34:21
Speaker 2: been how I voted most of my life. Never enthusiastically
34:24
Speaker 2: for anyone, with the exception of Ross Perot and Donald Trump.
34:28
Speaker 2: But outside of that, and maybe Reagan, I should say,
34:31
Speaker 2: outside of that, I haven't enthusiastically voted. It's usually the
34:35
Speaker 2: lesser two evils, for the most part.
34:38
Speaker 5: That's a crying shame, ain't it?
34:40
Speaker 2: You too.
34:41
Speaker 5: Vote for the lesser of the two evils. But if
34:44
Speaker 5: you take a look at it, as the conversations I've
34:48
Speaker 5: had with other people, one is spending so much money,
34:51
Speaker 5: we'll never get out of debt by doing what they
34:54
Speaker 5: do with the tax breaks and everything else. And then
34:57
Speaker 5: when they come right down to it, they turn right
34:59
Speaker 5: around and they keep adding more and more to it.
35:01
Speaker 5: And the other side, they want to do things, but
35:05
Speaker 5: you don't see Trump trying to build anything that's in
35:09
Speaker 5: the infrastructure in which he claims he would make Eisenhower
35:14
Speaker 5: blush if he were to do it when Biden wanted
35:17
Speaker 5: to do it.
35:20
Speaker 2: Sometimes I get... It is wearing thin on me, some
35:23
Speaker 2: of the just bullcrap that Trump spews. First of all,
35:27
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear his name on everything. I mean,
35:31
Speaker 2: I get tired of that. But some of the... Some
35:36
Speaker 2: of the stuff he says, you notice that a lot
35:38
Speaker 2: of these countries aren't taking them very serious anymore. They're
35:41
Speaker 2: not taking them too serious at all, just based on
35:45
Speaker 2: this situation in Iran. We're going to do this. Well,
35:48
Speaker 2: then we don't do that. We're going to bomb them
35:50
Speaker 2: back to the Stone Age. Well, then we stop that.
35:54
Speaker 2: Now we're doing this economic time bomb. Well, I think
35:57
Speaker 2: the economic time bomb's going off in the USA, too.
36:01
Speaker 5: Well, you're right about that. But that economic time bomb
36:04
Speaker 5: that he's talking about, was already implemented by three or
36:09
Speaker 5: four presidents ago. And now he says he's going to
36:12
Speaker 5: do more. How much more are you going to do?
36:13
Speaker 5: That country don't care.
36:15
Speaker 2: It seemed to me that that bunker buster that he
36:18
Speaker 2: dropped did the job. And that should have been the
36:21
Speaker 2: end of it. It did the job. Keep this, the, the, the,
36:25
Speaker 2: the straight was open. Keep that agreement that Obama negotiated,
36:28
Speaker 2: because some of the stuff that you would see with the,
36:32
Speaker 2: that he wanted to negotiate the Trump deal, I thought
36:36
Speaker 2: was a worse deal than what Obama negotiated.
36:39
Speaker 5: Well, I'm glad to hear you say that, because I
36:41
Speaker 5: felt the same way. But what gets me is, everybody's
36:46
Speaker 5: complaining about the high prices, and they're trying to blame
36:49
Speaker 5: Iran for the whole thing. It all went back to
36:51
Speaker 5: his tariffs, and now the dollar, the measure of the
36:54
Speaker 5: dollar bill throughout the world economy is dropping fast and hard.
36:59
Speaker 5: China's over there going, yeah, keep it up, baby. Keep
37:01
Speaker 5: it up, baby. By the time you get done, I'll
37:05
Speaker 5: have the whole world talking to me.
37:07
Speaker 2: Well, he's in a pissing match now with Canada, of
37:11
Speaker 2: all places. I mean, I don't know about it. We
37:13
Speaker 2: get a lot of oil from Canada, and we get
37:15
Speaker 2: a lot of lumber out of Canada.
37:17
Speaker 5: And a lot of other things.
37:18
Speaker 2: Right. And it's like, this is the country we should be...
37:23
Speaker 2: I don't understand. I get it if you're going after
37:25
Speaker 2: China or Vietnam or India, these slave wage nation countries,
37:30
Speaker 2: but Canada?
37:33
Speaker 5: It amazes me. Canada's A1. They're not going to do that.
37:38
Speaker 5: They're not going to put all the people. They want
37:39
Speaker 5: to keep their people working, so they keep them in
37:41
Speaker 5: the factories. Here in the United States, we've got to
37:43
Speaker 5: have it so we can keep on going. If you
37:46
Speaker 5: turn around and look at all these other countries... They're managing,
37:51
Speaker 5: but they've changed their whole economic structure to stay away
37:55
Speaker 5: from Trump and the United States, and it's only going
37:58
Speaker 5: to hurt us in the end. It's going to take
38:01
Speaker 5: us 30, 40 years to get back on track again
38:03
Speaker 5: for people in these countries to trust us.
38:08
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's going to be the case
38:09
Speaker 2: or not. It's just a... In all seriousness, I look
38:13
Speaker 2: around as an American. Forget Democrat or Republican. I can't
38:16
Speaker 2: vote for any of the wacky Democrat socialists. But if
38:19
Speaker 2: you're asking me, are things a mess? The answer to
38:23
Speaker 2: that is absolutely yes. And do I think many of
38:25
Speaker 2: these people that are making the decisions are totally oblivious
38:29
Speaker 2: to the situation that they put us all in as Americans?
38:32
Speaker 2: I think that they... They just stay the course, continue to,
38:38
Speaker 2: they don't cut spending. And at what point do they say, okay,
38:42
Speaker 2: well now we've got to cut it or do something drastic.
38:44
Speaker 2: Now we'll go after everybody on Social Security or we'll
38:47
Speaker 2: go after everything on Medicare. And there are going to
38:51
Speaker 2: be a lot of pissed off people, and justifiably so,
38:54
Speaker 2: when that happens with these morons.
38:57
Speaker 5: Well, you know, it surprises me is that the Supreme
39:02
Speaker 5: Court is allowed to make up any ruling it wants.
39:05
Speaker 5: As long as it goes along with Trump.
39:08
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about that.
39:09
Speaker 5: There's so many different things out there, like this voting thing.
39:13
Speaker 2: They roll against Trump, too. Here's my thing with the
39:16
Speaker 2: Supreme Court. This is where I disagree with you. See,
39:18
Speaker 2: he wins some and he loses some. And he's lost
39:21
Speaker 2: some and he wins some. I just want a Supreme
39:23
Speaker 2: Court that sits there and rules on the constitutionality of it.
39:27
Speaker 2: And I think in general, you have that. In general,
39:31
Speaker 2: you shouldn't have an active Supreme Court when they make
39:36
Speaker 2: these rulings. Do you want me to lose faith in
39:40
Speaker 2: the voting system? Do you think I sit and say, oh,
39:44
Speaker 2: this is a great idea. Let's mail everybody out a ballot.
39:47
Speaker 2: They don't have to request it like they do in
39:49
Speaker 2: Colorado and California. So the person could be dead. They
39:53
Speaker 2: could have moved. You don't know who's voting it. I mean,
39:56
Speaker 2: I think that's just a system open to fraud. And
39:59
Speaker 2: you're right in this idea to say, let's secure our
40:02
Speaker 2: mail in vote voting system. I'm for that because as
40:06
Speaker 2: a voter, I want to make sure my vote counts
40:09
Speaker 2: and don't make me lose faith. in my voting system
40:13
Speaker 2: because I'm losing more and more faith in the court
40:15
Speaker 2: system because it's becoming too political.
40:18
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I just talked to the voting people
40:23
Speaker 5: here in Trumbull County, and I asked them about it
40:26
Speaker 5: because I went for my mail-in ballot, and I come back,
40:31
Speaker 5: and I'm getting this letter stating They want us to
40:34
Speaker 5: mail in a ballot when I already did it through
40:36
Speaker 5: you guys.
40:37
Speaker 2: Hang on. Hang on. Stand by. Let me do my break.
40:40
Speaker 2: I'll come back to you. Ron Furb from the kingdom
40:42
Speaker 2: of Mahoning on News Radio 570 WKBN at 352. I
40:43
Speaker 2: heart radio. 570 WKBN. Okay, let me go back to
40:52
Speaker 2: him for a second. I'm always intrigued by you. And
40:55
Speaker 2: I can't explain, and I don't know that. How would
40:58
Speaker 2: you define yourself? Would you define your, I know you're
41:01
Speaker 2: an American, would you be more conservative or liberal?
41:07
Speaker 5: See, that's a hard question. Liberal, if it's going to
41:10
Speaker 5: help out people in the future. Conservative, when it looks
41:15
Speaker 5: like you're going to spend money on something that is
41:20
Speaker 5: stupid and or in the end won't really do the
41:24
Speaker 5: job that it was supposed to do.
41:26
Speaker 2: Okay, so let me go back on that. So you're
41:30
Speaker 2: not a liberal that says there aren't people that don't
41:33
Speaker 2: need a good kick in the ass and realize they're
41:35
Speaker 2: in a great country to do something with their life.
41:38
Speaker 2: You're not the liberal guy that thinks just because you
41:41
Speaker 2: don't put any effort forth, we should take care of
41:43
Speaker 2: you because you're lazy, do you?
41:46
Speaker 6: No.
41:46
Speaker 2: No.
41:47
Speaker 5: I'm not one of them. I wouldn't be where I'm
41:50
Speaker 5: at today.
41:51
Speaker 2: I mean, for example, when I think of a liberal thing,
41:56
Speaker 2: here would be an example. Once somebody has lost all
42:00
Speaker 2: of their assets, and unfortunately they're in a nursing home,
42:04
Speaker 2: that's when Medicaid steps in to cover that bill because
42:07
Speaker 2: they don't have anything left. Many people would say that's
42:10
Speaker 2: a liberal program, but in essence, what other options are there?
42:13
Speaker 2: You follow me? So you would be for something like that,
42:17
Speaker 2: but you wouldn't be for saying to some 25-year-old kid
42:20
Speaker 2: that's of work age that doesn't have any problems, we're
42:24
Speaker 2: going to give you health care and sit at home
42:25
Speaker 2: and play video games. You don't buy into that crap, correct?
42:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with you 100%, but Medicaid's kind of
42:32
Speaker 5: a little of a trick there, if I understand it
42:35
Speaker 5: at all, which is confusing to me at times. You
42:39
Speaker 5: go on Medicaid before you go on Social Security.
42:42
Speaker 2: No, you don't. No, you don't. No, you do not.
42:45
Speaker 2: You know, usually, usually you go on, you're on Social Security. Well,
42:50
Speaker 2: wait a minute. You're on private, your employer's insurance till
42:54
Speaker 2: you reach Medicare age. You're not on Medicaid. Medicaid's for
42:58
Speaker 2: poor people. And it's often abused. I mean, what I'm
43:02
Speaker 2: saying to you is I don't picture you as a
43:04
Speaker 2: liberal that thinks just because you're lazy or don't want
43:07
Speaker 2: to do anything that we should cover you with health
43:09
Speaker 2: care because you won't get off your ass and go
43:11
Speaker 2: get a job like the rest of us. Is that
43:13
Speaker 2: a fair assessment of you?
43:15
Speaker 6: Yes.
43:16
Speaker 5: And you know what I tell them kind of people
43:17
Speaker 5: that sit there and complain and piss and moan and
43:20
Speaker 5: don't want to do anything but collect pay? Wait till
43:24
Speaker 5: you reach the age that you can finally go on
43:29
Speaker 5: Social Security and Medicare fully. And guess what? You're not
43:34
Speaker 5: going to have anything. You're still going to be needing help.
43:37
Speaker 2: Because you haven't put any effort forth. All right, stand
43:40
Speaker 2: by for me. Stand by. Just hang in there for
43:42
Speaker 2: a minute. I'm going to get to know this guy.
43:44
Speaker 2: And I'll get to more of your calls in a bit.
