Speaker 1: Hey, it's 4.06 in the afternoon. It's 88 degrees. It's Tuesday,
0:08
Speaker 1: August 4th already. 2026, Ron Verb. Okay, go ahead with
0:13
Speaker 1: your comments, Frank.
0:14
Speaker 2: Okay, Ron, you did a great job with Jacob about
0:19
Speaker 2: record number of consumer card debt. You know, people are
0:24
Speaker 2: defaulting in record numbers. But American executives who did not
0:31
Speaker 2: quickly take advantage of low labor costs in Asia by
0:35
Speaker 2: moving their production offshore, were warned by Wall Street that
0:40
Speaker 2: they better get over there quickly or Wall Street would
0:43
Speaker 2: finance takeovers of those corporations and do the job themselves.
0:49
Speaker 2: And the American economy experienced a wave of mergers and
0:53
Speaker 2: acquisitions that was breathtaking. Now, with the relocation of U.S.,
0:59
Speaker 2: manufacturing jobs to Asia and Mexico, so went blue-collar jobs
1:05
Speaker 2: and middle-class incomes. And the tax bases of U.S. cities
1:10
Speaker 2: and states shrunk. One, America is a consumer-driven economy.
1:16
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
1:18
Speaker 2: Consumer income growth stopped dead in its tracks. as a
1:22
Speaker 2: result of shipping production factories overseas.
1:25
Speaker 1: Well, there's two things that go in a consumer-driven economy.
1:28
Speaker 1: There's two fundamentals. You have to have consumers, and consumers
1:32
Speaker 1: have to have jobs to have income. Okay, so if
1:37
Speaker 1: you're a consumer-driven economy and everything around you costs more,
1:44
Speaker 1: you're able to consume less. You follow me? So you
1:48
Speaker 1: buy less unless you go into debt. So in a
1:51
Speaker 1: consumer-driven economy... that you buy less because you're spending more
1:58
Speaker 1: for all these other items. In other words, like if
2:01
Speaker 1: I look at my sign out here for gas today,
2:02
Speaker 1: I have to pay $ 4. 20 for a gallon of gas
2:06
Speaker 1: where I used to pay $ 2. 50. So I'm paying more
2:10
Speaker 1: of my dollars for the same gallon of gas, right?
2:13
Speaker 1: Just as we have to pay more dollars for the
2:15
Speaker 1: same hamburger quantity that we used to get for less dollars.
2:20
Speaker 1: So it's pretty simple to figure this stuff out when
2:23
Speaker 1: it comes to your finances. It's not a difficult. We
2:28
Speaker 1: are a consumer driven economy. But if consumers have less
2:31
Speaker 1: money because more of it's taken away in inflation or taxes,
2:35
Speaker 1: that's not a good for a consumer driven economy.
2:38
Speaker 2: Especially when they go deep into debt and don't consume
2:44
Speaker 2: based on their current wages.
2:48
Speaker 1: Let me give you a catch-22. Are you ready for this?
2:51
Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
2:53
Speaker 1: Here's a catch-22. I give this to Fort Lauderdale, Frank,
2:56
Speaker 1: and I put this out for all of you. It's
2:57
Speaker 1: called a catch-22. You tell me what the right answer is.
3:03
Speaker 1: So many of you remember during COVID, you found out
3:07
Speaker 1: for the first time that many of our antibiotics were
3:09
Speaker 1: no longer made in the United States of America. That
3:12
Speaker 1: they were, in fact, made in China. That you learned
3:15
Speaker 1: that we are at their mercy because they threatened to
3:18
Speaker 1: cut a lot of that stuff off. I don't care
3:20
Speaker 1: if it's ibuprofen or Tylenol or whatever this stuff was.
3:24
Speaker 1: Many of your prescriptions are made in China. And they said,
3:27
Speaker 1: we'll cut it off. So what does Trump want to
3:30
Speaker 1: do right now? Here's where Trump is. And remember, people
3:34
Speaker 1: were saying at that time, by God, when did we
3:36
Speaker 1: concede all that to China so they got us over
3:38
Speaker 1: a barrel that we got to buy all this from
3:40
Speaker 1: China and they can cut us off on this kind
3:42
Speaker 1: of stuff? When did this happen? So now here's what
3:44
Speaker 1: Trump is proposing. Trump is saying that he wants this
3:49
Speaker 1: manufacturing to return to America. So that means you, if
3:53
Speaker 1: you're on a generic drug, would probably pay What I'm reading,
4:00
Speaker 1: they say substantially more than what you're paying. I don't
4:03
Speaker 1: know what substantially means in this case, but they're saying
4:06
Speaker 1: you would pay more than you are currently for your
4:11
Speaker 1: generic drugs than you are presently so that you can
4:15
Speaker 1: have that manufacturing ship back to America. Now, the question is,
4:22
Speaker 1: are you willing to do that? And let's just say
4:25
Speaker 1: that happens. Let's just say Trump does that to say, well,
4:27
Speaker 1: we should make this stuff here. How many old people
4:30
Speaker 1: do you think are going to be bitching, saying, wait
4:33
Speaker 1: a minute, I'm paying more for all of this kind
4:35
Speaker 1: of stuff, and I can't afford it. So there's a catch-22.
4:39
Speaker 1: A consumer will have to pay more for these generic drugs,
4:43
Speaker 1: but at the same time, they'll be made in America.
4:45
Speaker 1: You won't be a victim of China, but it will
4:47
Speaker 1: cost you more. Which one... Do you want?
4:52
Speaker 2: Well, that's why Trump is trying to buy votes for
4:56
Speaker 2: the midterms, because we have Trump Rx right now, which
5:00
Speaker 2: keep generic drug prices dirt cheap. And he would expand
5:04
Speaker 2: that if we said to China, we're not buying prescription
5:09
Speaker 2: drugs for you. We're going to make them here in America.
5:12
Speaker 2: And it would take years to make the same drugs
5:15
Speaker 2: that China makes. You'd have a black market. And also, Ron,
5:21
Speaker 2: when it comes to data AI centers, they're causing electricity
5:28
Speaker 2: prices to rise as they compete with homeowners for electric power.
5:33
Speaker 1: Supply and demand, right.
5:35
Speaker 2: And America is suffering from depleted resources such as water, air,
5:40
Speaker 2: and fertile land, for example. Now, the Democrats welcomed in
5:44
Speaker 2: 30 million illegal aliens last who they knew would vote Democrat,
5:49
Speaker 2: that are also accelerating the depletion of resources. And Trump's
5:53
Speaker 2: war for Israel will send energy prices skyrocketing upward. That's
5:58
Speaker 2: why the Republicans stole Venezuela's oil and is threatening to
6:03
Speaker 2: steal Greenland's and Canada's resources as well. But, you know,
6:08
Speaker 2: I want to add to the great point you made
6:11
Speaker 2: to Ted and Jacob. Under Trump, 6 million student loan
6:18
Speaker 2: borrowers were in default last August. That figure surged to
6:24
Speaker 2: 7.7 million by December, and now by April, student loan
6:28
Speaker 2: defaults have surged again to 9.2 million borrowers, which is
6:34
Speaker 2: one in every five persons with student debt. And another
6:38
Speaker 2: 3 million are 90 days delinquent or more and also
6:43
Speaker 2: heading towards default. Now, Obama, Biden, and Trump have kicked
6:49
Speaker 2: the can down the road through payment pauses, but with
6:53
Speaker 2: interest continuing to accumulate so that some former students now
6:58
Speaker 2: owe more than their original principal.
7:01
Speaker 1: Well, what was it, and you might, I mean, listen,
7:05
Speaker 1: it was ridiculous, and I think it had to do
7:07
Speaker 1: with Was it car loans or something that tried to
7:11
Speaker 1: make it more affordable? They wanted it to be like
7:12
Speaker 1: an eight-year loan or nine-year loan. I forgot. No, it
7:17
Speaker 1: was housing.
7:18
Speaker 2: He wanted to extend mortgage loans to 50 years. Most
7:23
Speaker 2: people would be dead. before they paid.
7:26
Speaker 1: Yeah right right this was some of the discussion how
7:29
Speaker 1: do we make housing more affordable for people and and
7:33
Speaker 1: it was you would have a 50-year mortgage of which
7:38
Speaker 1: of which you you would you know you probably follow
7:40
Speaker 1: it the money people said you'd be just better off
7:42
Speaker 1: renting because it's ridiculous you'll never pay it off.
7:46
Speaker 2: You know ron florida has one of the best managed
7:50
Speaker 2: state economies in the country.
7:51
Speaker 1: Hey, Frank, Frank, I was just down there. I just
7:54
Speaker 1: came back late last night, and I bet you people
7:58
Speaker 1: listening thought I was probably down there visiting Frank from
8:00
Speaker 1: Fort Lauderdale.
8:03
Speaker 2: No, you weren't. You were enjoying yourself. But I don't
8:07
Speaker 2: know why you came in the summer. It's like in
8:09
Speaker 2: the 90s.
8:10
Speaker 1: Oh, it was wonderful.
8:12
Speaker 4: It was great.
8:13
Speaker 5: You want to know.
8:14
Speaker 2: How bad the economy has run? Florida has the highest
8:17
Speaker 2: unemployment home foreclosure rate in the country. That's how bad
8:22
Speaker 2: things are. And we've got a good economy compared to
8:25
Speaker 2: the other 49 states.
8:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, you do. It's a great area. All right, Frank,
8:32
Speaker 1: enough today. Thank you, my friends. All right, Fort Lauderdale. Frank,
8:35
Speaker 1: you're on the air.
8:36
Speaker 4: Hello.
8:39
Speaker 6: There's a conversation going on. The narrative jumps all over
8:41
Speaker 6: the place. But, you know, you started out the program
8:43
Speaker 6: very well. You can support Donald Trump and be critical
8:47
Speaker 6: of him. You know, I'm 100 percent. I would never
8:50
Speaker 6: have voted for the other alternative. But some of the
8:54
Speaker 6: things that are going on right now, I'm just not
8:55
Speaker 6: happy with. I could point them out. I could be
8:57
Speaker 6: critical of them. I'm not going to be a cheerleader.
8:59
Speaker 6: There's a big difference between the economy and the stock market.
9:03
Speaker 6: I mean, one day we're at war. One day we're
9:06
Speaker 6: making a deal. you know why did that what the
9:08
Speaker 6: market go up today out of the working and have
9:10
Speaker 6: but she is the pension but i'm sure it had
9:12
Speaker 6: something to do with us coming up of pot deal
9:15
Speaker 6: possible and i guess what friday at four oh one
9:18
Speaker 6: we're gonna decapitate the iranian regime you know that It
9:22
Speaker 6: keeps going back and forth and back and forth. And
9:24
Speaker 6: the administration, they're not dumb. They didn't get this position
9:27
Speaker 6: because they got lucky. You know, you play the narrative.
9:29
Speaker 6: You let the market ride up by saying there's a deal.
9:32
Speaker 7: There's no deal.
9:33
Speaker 6: The market comes back in. It goes back up. You know,
9:36
Speaker 6: it's not Frank and Ted trading this afternoon, buying mutual
9:41
Speaker 6: funds and ETFs. These are algorithmic-driven markets. They see the headline,
9:47
Speaker 6: and then they buy on the news. It's the same
9:48
Speaker 6: thing with the oil. When oil drops to $ 70 a barrel...
9:52
Speaker 6: It's not because the straighter moves opened up and the
9:54
Speaker 6: Iranians are waving the white flag. I mean, this is
9:58
Speaker 6: a game back and forth. They're going to drag this out.
10:00
Speaker 6: They understand they got midterms. They can't let oil soar
10:02
Speaker 6: through the roof. Got a complete mess on our hands.
10:06
Speaker 6: If you believe the CPI numbers or the inflation numbers,
10:09
Speaker 6: I mean... Are you just blind? If you don't understand
10:14
Speaker 6: or lie to what inflation is, I mean, you're just
10:17
Speaker 6: listening to a narrative that's just been given to you.
10:20
Speaker 6: You have to open your eyes and see what's going
10:22
Speaker 6: on in the world around you. I'm happy that some
10:25
Speaker 6: market will day, but it could go down just as
10:28
Speaker 6: easy a few days from now. And you hit the
10:30
Speaker 6: nail on the head. The market shouldn't go up. The
10:32
Speaker 6: NASDAQ shouldn't go up three and a half percent or
10:34
Speaker 6: four percent in a day. What news came out that
10:38
Speaker 6: made all of these companies that much more profitable. What
10:41
Speaker 6: company goes up $ 100 billion in one day on what
10:44
Speaker 6: kind of news? Did they come out with something new?
10:47
Speaker 6: I mean, everybody, the market is just S & P 500.
10:50
Speaker 6: You buy a basket, one stock goes up, and as
10:53
Speaker 6: long as that's a bigger portion in the basket, the
10:55
Speaker 6: whole market goes up. I mean, Frank's right in a
10:58
Speaker 6: lot of points there. I don't usually agree with Frank,
11:01
Speaker 6: but when we came off that gold standard in 1971,
11:04
Speaker 6: inflation's been.
11:05
Speaker 1: Through the roof.
11:06
Speaker 6: It's just We've had a GDP that's been able to
11:09
Speaker 6: cover it all. You guys have all the, like you said, too,
11:13
Speaker 6: health care prices, pharmaceutical prices. I could tell you right now,
11:16
Speaker 6: if you gave every 100 boomers out there the option
11:20
Speaker 6: to make medications in America or pay less for them,
11:23
Speaker 6: 98 of them will say, I want to pay less
11:25
Speaker 6: because the other 2% have so much money that it
11:27
Speaker 6: doesn't matter to them. Our country is going to absolute
11:32
Speaker 6: bonker town today. Moving forward, we've got nothing good going
11:36
Speaker 6: on right now. Most people don't even realize we bailed
11:39
Speaker 6: out Japan Friday. I mean, that's not even in the news.
11:42
Speaker 6: Their market, I can go on a whole tangent about that.
11:45
Speaker 6: We totally saved them because they have no domestic oil production,
11:49
Speaker 6: and they're buying all of their oil in a dollar
11:53
Speaker 6: in their currency. It's getting destroyed. If we didn't bail
11:55
Speaker 6: them out on Friday, they probably would be wrecking the
11:57
Speaker 6: whole entire stock market. People don't understand that. They just
12:01
Speaker 6: every two weeks put their money into their 401k, their 403b,
12:05
Speaker 6: and all the market does is go up. On what?
12:08
Speaker 6: Because we have deflated dollars. Everybody's getting richer nominally, but
12:12
Speaker 6: everybody complains about the same thing, that your dollar doesn't
12:15
Speaker 6: buy as much. We've got every local government in this
12:18
Speaker 6: area crying that they need more money. It's because the
12:21
Speaker 6: local government's getting your tax dollars, and those dollars are
12:25
Speaker 6: worth less. Your local government can't put money into assets.
12:28
Speaker 6: The polling... Canfield, all these townships, they can't invest their
12:33
Speaker 6: money in the S & P 500. So they're getting
12:35
Speaker 6: hit by inflation, too. Of course, you can do things
12:38
Speaker 6: on the margin to fix things that are wasteful, idiotic.
12:41
Speaker 5: Spending, of course.
12:43
Speaker 6: But it all comes back to money. Everything comes back
12:47
Speaker 6: to money. And the money is just completely ruined and
12:50
Speaker 6: it's wrecked. And the whole system in which it operates
12:53
Speaker 6: is ruined and wrecked. I mean, I'll tell you right now, too,
12:57
Speaker 6: I'm all over the place because everybody else's comments are
12:59
Speaker 6: all over the place because we can't focus on one thing.
13:01
Speaker 6: We got so many problems. Look at Donald Trump. Are
13:03
Speaker 6: you happy that now you can buy for $ 100, 000 earlier
13:09
Speaker 6: access to his posts, his tweets on X or Trump
13:12
Speaker 6: or whatever? You don't think that moves the market? If
13:15
Speaker 6: you get millisecond faster information that Donald Trump's going to
13:19
Speaker 6: do this, this or that, that moves the market instantaneously.
13:22
Speaker 6: That is completely insane that he even thinks or that
13:27
Speaker 6: his family or his team thinks that that's okay. I mean,
13:31
Speaker 6: everything is all over the place. And I talked to
13:34
Speaker 6: you last week before I think the legal show is
13:37
Speaker 6: the last thing we talked about. Did you even see
13:40
Speaker 6: what happened in Spain the other day?
13:43
Speaker 1: What happened?
13:45
Speaker 6: Did you see? They don't even know it's 40 or
13:46
Speaker 6: 80,000 people. migrants stormed the beach in Spain. If you
13:53
Speaker 6: watch the video, it looks like a zombie apocalypse. I mean,
13:57
Speaker 6: look at this. I'll criticize Donald Trump for these things
14:01
Speaker 6: because the opposite would have been, instead of that happening
14:04
Speaker 6: in Spain, it would have happened in our country. 40,000
14:07
Speaker 6: to 8,000 military-aged men, these weren't women and children, didn't
14:12
Speaker 6: all just decide one morning to storm the beaches of
14:15
Speaker 6: this little enclave of northern Africa on the beach of Morocco.
14:20
Speaker 6: Because somebody organized it, they knew that Spain has a law,
14:24
Speaker 6: if you come by sea, you don't get deported. So
14:27
Speaker 6: they just took a population of 60,000 in that sea
14:31
Speaker 6: to Spain, and doubled it overnight. There's migrants just running
14:35
Speaker 6: amok there, and they're all going to get citizenship there
14:38
Speaker 6: because they won't get deported because of Spain. So what
14:41
Speaker 6: happens when they get citizenship? They're all just going to
14:44
Speaker 6: disperse over Europe. Europe is a complete disaster. We're going
14:48
Speaker 6: the same direction, and yeah, I will criticize Trump again
14:52
Speaker 6: because if Kamala Harris were president, that 60,000 people in
14:56
Speaker 6: Spain would have been organized, the 60,000 people flood our border,
14:59
Speaker 6: or even more over the last two years. It's just
15:03
Speaker 6: utter insanity, and it's because, again, everything comes back to money. Everything, everything, everything.
15:08
Speaker 6: And our whole system is broken because there's no repercussions
15:11
Speaker 6: and no consequences to anything, ever.
15:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was an amazing video. Stand by for one second.
15:18
Speaker 1: I want to come back with Alec in a minute.
15:19
Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570 WQEN. Well, listen to this. The recent tornado.
15:28
Speaker 1: That deal that you're talking about in Spain, if people
15:30
Speaker 1: haven't seen that picture, it is unbelievable how many people
15:34
Speaker 1: are rushing into that area. It's overwhelming. And think of
15:42
Speaker 1: what that does to the folks that are already there
15:45
Speaker 1: and the burden it puts on that society.
15:48
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I mean, think about that would happen here 100%.
15:51
Speaker 6: They already tried to do it. Those 60,000 25-year-old aged
15:58
Speaker 6: men didn't do that on their own. Somebody's organizing that.
16:02
Speaker 6: Do you think whoever's organizing that wants to get them
16:05
Speaker 6: into Spain, or do you think they want to get
16:07
Speaker 6: them into Europe? They want to get them here. So, yes,
16:11
Speaker 6: I don't care if Donald Trump.
16:13
Speaker 7: Does this and this and this.
16:15
Speaker 6: I will criticize him for all those other things. But
16:18
Speaker 6: the alternative was way worse. And we won't even have
16:22
Speaker 6: a country, yet alone our financial aspect of it will
16:26
Speaker 6: be inflation through the roof, you name it. But what
16:30
Speaker 6: are people leaving behind? When you vote for these things,
16:35
Speaker 6: it just blows my mind. You've got callers that will
16:37
Speaker 6: call in and say, Donald Trump's dad gave him a
16:40
Speaker 6: million dollars. I could never vote for him. Donald Trump
16:43
Speaker 6: did this. I could never vote for him. And it
16:45
Speaker 6: will turn a blind eye to their country absolutely being
16:49
Speaker 6: utterly destroyed right in front of their face and won't
16:53
Speaker 6: care because their hate for Donald Trump received their love
16:57
Speaker 6: for the country. We got a lot of problems in
17:00
Speaker 6: this country, but there are a lot of people out
17:02
Speaker 6: there that put their hate for one single person off
17:08
Speaker 6: anything else. And it is just cascading downhill here. And
17:12
Speaker 6: it's getting worse and worse. You can just see it
17:14
Speaker 6: in society as an entirety. It's getting worse and worse.
17:18
Speaker 6: And I just wonder what we're leaving future generations. It
17:23
Speaker 6: honestly makes me sad to see what's going on anymore. Look, again,
17:28
Speaker 6: the economy. You can't find people to work.
17:30
Speaker 5: Why would you work?
17:31
Speaker 6: Why do you have to work if you can just
17:32
Speaker 6: do this, this, and that? I don't know if you
17:35
Speaker 6: saw the fraud that came out in Pennsylvania with all
17:37
Speaker 6: these home health care agencies. I mean, people saying they're
17:41
Speaker 6: taking care of their loved ones. They're getting pulled over
17:45
Speaker 6: with drugs in the car, getting taxpayer dollars. What can
17:49
Speaker 6: do us as taxpayers just run out? I mean, we
17:53
Speaker 6: fought a revolution in this country over a 2% tax.
17:56
Speaker 6: Now most people are blind. They don't even realize they're
17:58
Speaker 6: paying 50% of what they earn in taxes. It blows
18:04
Speaker 6: my mind that the level of frustration out there isn't higher.
18:07
Speaker 6: And I talk to people about this, and they shrug
18:09
Speaker 6: their shoulders. It is what it is. It is what
18:12
Speaker 6: it is because people are lazy out there because they
18:14
Speaker 6: just haven't suffered the consequences enough yet. And usually it
18:18
Speaker 6: does take a catastrophe to actually get things fixed. It's
18:22
Speaker 6: just I don't want to have to go through a
18:23
Speaker 6: catastrophe to get the things fixed. We had a chance
18:26
Speaker 6: during COVID when there really was an actual pandemic. It
18:30
Speaker 6: was terribly, but we had a chance to fix a
18:33
Speaker 6: lot of things.
18:33
Speaker 5: We didn't.
18:34
Speaker 6: We have all this fraud in Ohio that came to light.
18:38
Speaker 6: We've got all of this that could have been fixed.
18:41
Speaker 3: It didn't.
18:42
Speaker 6: We've got all these problems locally with local government. It's
18:44
Speaker 6: a chance to get it fixed.
18:46
Speaker 4: It won't.
18:47
Speaker 6: Because they'll get brushed under the rug because most people
18:49
Speaker 6: out there would rather watch Netflix and scroll through and
18:53
Speaker 6: just live like a zombie than actually realize what's going on.
18:56
Speaker 6: And that's the sad part because those people's votes count
18:59
Speaker 6: the exact same as my vote and most of the
19:01
Speaker 6: listeners out there who are actually informed. And we've got
19:06
Speaker 6: to have people that actually want to fix things. do
19:09
Speaker 6: things and understand things and let people know what's going
19:12
Speaker 6: on because this is like a frog in a pot
19:15
Speaker 6: boiling slowly. You don't even realize it's hot until it's
19:19
Speaker 6: too late. Look at everything we've just been talking about
19:24
Speaker 6: the whole time. Oh, boy, the stock market went up 3.5%, 4% today. Congratulations.
19:30
Speaker 6: I mean, what are we talking about? Again, you got
19:34
Speaker 6: richer today nominally. If you look at the stock market,
19:38
Speaker 6: even since 1971, priced in anything else, gold, you name it,
19:42
Speaker 6: it's almost flat. When your dollar's less, you have more
19:46
Speaker 6: of it, and it keeps buying you less. But people
19:48
Speaker 6: can't comprehend that because they're not willing to put in
19:52
Speaker 6: the work to understand it.
19:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's of concern. Alec, I always appreciate your input.
19:59
Speaker 1: I thank you. News Radio 570, Dodie Kivian and Ron Furb,

20:04
Speaker 8: Hi, Ron.
20:05
Speaker 4: Hi.
20:06
Speaker 9: I'm glad you're back. Anyhow, after all this, but I
20:11
Speaker 9: say this, that Trump's not going to tell us everything
20:14
Speaker 9: he's doing. And I go along with Ted. And many,
20:19
Speaker 9: we're going through inflation. Many people know that, but they
20:22
Speaker 9: don't seem to care.
20:23
Speaker 1: Stand by for me. Just stand by. I'll come right
20:25
Speaker 1: back to you. After the break, it's 4.30. Ron Ferb,

20:37

Speaker 8: Republican congressman who's the former son-in-law. of Ohio Republican Senator
20:45
Speaker 8: Bernie Moreno is under a deadline of tomorrow to make
20:48
Speaker 8: a decision on whether to continue in the race for
20:51
Speaker 8: re-election from Ohio's 7th District. If you like historic sites,
20:56
Speaker 8: there's one in Cincinnati that's getting a lot of attention.
20:59
Speaker 8: The Harriet Beecher Stowe House is enjoying a surge of
21:03
Speaker 8: popularity since the completion of its restoration a couple of
21:06
Speaker 8: years ago.
21:07
Speaker 10: And since that time, we have seen about a 40%
21:11
Speaker 10: increase in attendance.
21:13
Speaker 8: Christina Hartlieb is executive director shortly after leaving Cincinnati. Harriet
21:18
Speaker 8: Beecher Stowe wrote the legendary anti-slavery book, Uncle Tom's Cabin.

21:36
Speaker 1: On News Radio 570 WKBN. Back to it. News Radio
21:41
Speaker 1: 570 WKBN. All right. Go ahead, dear.
21:44
Speaker 5: Hi.
21:44
Speaker 9: Excuse me. I have a cold. Anyhow, the key to
21:49
Speaker 9: the whole thing is If we get back to God,
21:52
Speaker 9: He said He can heal our nation. And I see
21:56
Speaker 9: all these religious people, too, running around with purple hair
22:00
Speaker 9: and tattoos all over them, and all the restaurants, and
22:04
Speaker 9: just gobs of money and all that, too, on top
22:06
Speaker 9: of it. And then we wonder why things go wrong. So,
22:12
Speaker 9: to me, that's the key to the whole thing. And
22:16
Speaker 9: we can do this or that, but... If we don't
22:19
Speaker 9: obey God's word, we're in trouble. And Israel, especially when
22:24
Speaker 9: we come against that nation, that's really bad, too. Okay,
22:28
Speaker 9: a little bit here. After everybody said their thoughts, that's
22:33
Speaker 9: how I feel. I'm glad you're back. God bless.
22:37
Speaker 1: All right. This woman wraps me around her finger with
22:40
Speaker 1: that sweet little voice of hers. I can't even get
22:43
Speaker 1: upset with that. I mean, you know, I can't say, well,
22:45
Speaker 1: thanks for calling you old Badlax or anything because she
22:47
Speaker 1: sounds so sweet and all that kind of stuff. You
22:50
Speaker 1: totally disarm me with that. God bless. And that beautiful
22:54
Speaker 1: little voice of yours.
22:56
Speaker 9: Now you keep listening to... Charles Swindley, or what's his name?
23:01
Speaker 4: I forget.
23:02
Speaker 1: Let's see, you're so old, you can't even remember what
23:05
Speaker 1: you're listening to anymore.
23:06
Speaker 4: I know, I forget.
23:07
Speaker 1: Do you know what year it is?
23:08
Speaker 4: No, it doesn't matter.
23:09
Speaker 9: It doesn't matter. I mean, we're running around like crazy.
23:12
Speaker 9: We don't know what we're doing today. I mean, we
23:15
Speaker 9: really do. A TV can really mess your mind up, Ron.
23:18
Speaker 4: Yes.
23:19
Speaker 9: That's what's doing the kids in that telephone thing, messing
23:23
Speaker 9: everybody up.
23:24
Speaker 1: Really?
23:25
Speaker 9: And we've got to pray like crazy. For all our
23:28
Speaker 9: people and our leaders.
23:31
Speaker 5: Yes.
23:31
Speaker 1: Yes.
23:32
Speaker 5: Yeah.
23:33
Speaker 9: So what did you learn in Florida? You know that
23:37
Speaker 9: back here is better yet, huh? Still better.
23:40
Speaker 1: Oh, no. Florida's wonderful.
23:41
Speaker 4: Oh, it's too hot.
23:42
Speaker 1: Oh, it's wonderful. It's absolutely wonderful. All right. Get out
23:46
Speaker 1: of here, you. Yeah. All right. Goodbye. You're on air.
23:50
Speaker 4: She's an assassin, I think. She is not. With that
23:53
Speaker 4: sweet voice, she's probably a killer.
23:57
Speaker 1: There he is. That Tigger laugh of his. It's J.J.
24:02
Speaker 5: J.J.
24:02
Speaker 1: The Trumpster, formerly known as J.J.
24:04
Speaker 4: The Liberal.
24:05
Speaker 1: He's like Prince.
24:05
Speaker 4: He's a killer. I guarantee you she's all that sweet
24:08
Speaker 4: voice and everything while she's packing heat. She probably works
24:13
Speaker 4: with Ted going to Jersey to take out people. He's
24:17
Speaker 4: always going to Jersey. I wonder why he's going to Jersey.
24:19
Speaker 1: I wonder why he's going to Jersey all the time, too.
24:21
Speaker 1: You think he's kind of like the Sopranos type thing,
24:25
Speaker 1: going to..
24:27
Speaker 4: Going up there with Tony and Vinny and all those guys.
24:34
Speaker 1: He's going up there to do a hit, huh? Yeah,
24:36
Speaker 1: he's going to.
24:38
Speaker 4: Do a job, yeah.
24:39
Speaker 1: How you doing? He's going to do a job, going
24:43
Speaker 1: to do a hit.
24:44
Speaker 4: How was your little trip down to FLA?
24:47
Speaker 1: It was good. It was good.
24:50
Speaker 4: Yes.
24:51
Speaker 1: I should have taken you with me. But it was
24:54
Speaker 1: during spring training, and you could have went over and...
24:57
Speaker 1: watch some spring training, you know, bring it back to
24:59
Speaker 1: your baseball.
25:00
Speaker 4: A couple of weddings.
25:01
Speaker 2: Yeah.
25:03
Speaker 4: Yeah. I would have, uh, it would have been, it
25:07
Speaker 4: would have been nice. I'm glad you got a chance
25:08
Speaker 4: to go and see your, your daughter. And, and, um,
25:11
Speaker 4: you know, it'll be, I get a break from all
25:13
Speaker 4: of us up here.
25:15
Speaker 1: So get a break from all of you up here.
25:18
Speaker 1: I tell you what.
25:18
Speaker 4: Yeah. We did miss you though.
25:21
Speaker 1: Thank you. I missed you too.
25:25
Speaker 4: And I, uh, I was listening to, uh, uh, Frank, uh,
25:29
Speaker 4: he was, uh, I have to, you know, I love,
25:31
Speaker 4: I love, uh, Uh, Teddy, I really do. Um, but I, it,
25:36
Speaker 4: it is partially Trump's fault. The reason why we're in
25:39
Speaker 4: the position that we're.
25:40
Speaker 1: In, he was making it better before he got into
25:44
Speaker 1: this war situation. I mean, I, I don't agree.
25:47
Speaker 4: With my things, but yeah, I have to, I have
25:49
Speaker 4: to concur, you know, that, that, that he was, uh,
25:52
Speaker 4: doing some things that even us Democrats wanted done, you know,
25:55
Speaker 4: whether you guys think we did or not. But we
25:57
Speaker 4: wanted to, you know, we didn't want people here that don't,
26:00
Speaker 4: not just the word belong, that they're not going to
26:04
Speaker 4: contribute or they're going to, you know, they're going to,
26:06
Speaker 4: you know, take away from, you know, they're going to
26:08
Speaker 4: just make things more difficult for all of us, including
26:11
Speaker 4: the people that, you know, that are kind, so to speak,
26:14
Speaker 4: you know, from their own country. But I believe you're right.
26:18
Speaker 4: And you even stated that for a long time, that
26:20
Speaker 4: once you got away from that, And we started spending
26:22
Speaker 4: money on that, and we're still spending, you know, fistfuls
26:26
Speaker 4: of money, and it's just not getting any better.
26:29
Speaker 5: You know, it really isn't.
26:29
Speaker 4: You know, today I had to eat one of our
26:32
Speaker 4: cats today, for crying out loud. It was so tough.
26:34
Speaker 1: You can't even joke about that today. You know that.
26:38
Speaker 1: Don't go there.
26:39
Speaker 4: Hey, I'm an animal lover.
26:40
Speaker 5: You know that.
26:41
Speaker 1: I know that. Who else stops in the middle of
26:44
Speaker 1: traffic to go out to get a cat or dog
26:46
Speaker 1: out of the road other than you?
26:47
Speaker 4: Mm-hmm. No, that is true. Every now and then I
26:52
Speaker 4: have a tendency to throw a bad joke out there.
26:54
Speaker 1: And that was a bad one.
26:55
Speaker 4: But it was not meant, you know.
26:57
Speaker 1: Yes. Sometimes you land it and sometimes you don't.
27:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course. Most of the time I don't.
27:05
Speaker 1: I don't know. Lately you've been on a roll. This
27:07
Speaker 1: is the first time that it did.
27:09
Speaker 4: The vault was good, but the landing was bad. There
27:12
Speaker 4: you go.
27:12
Speaker 1: There you go.
27:15
Speaker 4: I just think he's got to just watch things and,
27:17
Speaker 4: you know, and again, you know, the other thing too is,
27:22
Speaker 4: and I think you agree a little bit, it's the
27:25
Speaker 4: A-double-S kissing that everybody's doing as far as, and they're not,
27:30
Speaker 4: you know, they're not telling him the things that they
27:32
Speaker 4: need to tell him, you know, that, you know, if
27:35
Speaker 4: he's wrong about something or, They need to give a
27:38
Speaker 4: different opinion, you know. And I just don't think they're
27:41
Speaker 4: either not doing that to Trump or, you know, Trump
27:44
Speaker 4: is not accepting any type of, you know, concerted criticism.
27:48
Speaker 4: So that I worry about. And I think you and
27:51
Speaker 4: I discussed that, too, also before. And that can be
27:54
Speaker 4: kind of troublesome, you know.
27:57
Speaker 1: Well, hey, listen. He's got us in a tough jam now.
28:01
Speaker 1: I hope things work out. But... it hasn't worked out
28:06
Speaker 1: at this point in time and when, and we shall see, listen,
28:09
Speaker 1: I'll be the first guy. I, I would love to
28:12
Speaker 1: see there be some type of, uh, agreement reached and
28:15
Speaker 1: this thing put behind us and we could get back
28:17
Speaker 1: to doing the business of the American people and, uh,
28:20
Speaker 1: and the America first agenda. That's what I'd like to see.
28:23
Speaker 5: Right.
28:24
Speaker 4: And then, and then, you know, I have to disagree with, uh,
28:26
Speaker 4: I don't know who said it a little bit earlier, but, uh, um,
28:30
Speaker 4: you know, I think it might've been Ted. Um, but, uh, The,
28:33
Speaker 4: you know, I can't even pronounce his name, Bibi, or
28:38
Speaker 4: whatever it is. He had a lot, I think he
28:41
Speaker 4: misled him horribly. And right now you just see that,
28:46
Speaker 4: you know, you're too much about Israel being involved in this.
28:49
Speaker 4: And it seems like it was, it landed in our lap.
28:54
Speaker 4: And we're taking the brunt of it. And, you know,
28:58
Speaker 4: I would just like I agree with you guys. We
29:00
Speaker 4: shouldn't be spending money overseas. We shouldn't be giving it
29:03
Speaker 4: to different countries and taking care of everybody else's everybody
29:07
Speaker 4: else's dirty laundry. But we you know what he's doing.
29:11
Speaker 4: We get we got to. You know, I just think
29:13
Speaker 4: he's got to just say that, you know, we want it.
29:15
Speaker 4: You know, he's been, you know, in a lot of ways,
29:17
Speaker 4: he's been fooling us for a while to say we
29:19
Speaker 4: want to get our troops out of there and, you know,
29:21
Speaker 4: make an agreement with Iran and get that straight opened up.
29:26
Speaker 4: And sometimes, remember, you and I talked a couple months ago,
29:29
Speaker 4: I'll leave you with this, is that sometimes you've got to,
29:31
Speaker 4: you know, you've got to humble yourself and say, you know,
29:33
Speaker 4: that even if he wants to fool it and, you know,
29:37
Speaker 4: fool everybody and say, well, we won the war and
29:38
Speaker 4: it's over and done with him. we've got to get
29:40
Speaker 4: out of there, Ronnie, because it's only going to get
29:42
Speaker 4: progressively worse. And then somebody is going to get a
29:44
Speaker 4: little agitated. You know, they're going to bomb Iran. He's
29:47
Speaker 4: going to bomb somebody over there. They're not going to
29:48
Speaker 4: like it. And it's just going to escalate. But, again,
29:52
Speaker 4: I appreciate everything you do, my friend, and it's good
29:54
Speaker 4: to have you back.
29:55
Speaker 5: And, you know, you're fantastic.
29:58
Speaker 4: He made it safely, so that's a good thing. Amen.
30:01
Speaker 1: Thank you. J.J., the Trumpster.
30:02
Speaker 4: You're cool, buddy.
30:02
Speaker 1: All right, here on the air.
30:04
Speaker 4: Hello.
30:05
Speaker 5: Hey, Ron, I haven't talked to you in a couple weeks,
30:07
Speaker 5: so give me a minute like J.J. First of all,
30:11
Speaker 5: I want to mention something about Frank from Fort Lauderdale.
30:13
Speaker 5: Three months ago, he said we were running out of ammunition. Okay? Well,
30:18
Speaker 5: we're not. I want to make that comment. Secondly, the
30:23
Speaker 5: thing he's doing with Iran, they're playing.
30:26
Speaker 4: Him, but He says this is it.
30:29
Speaker 5: So you're not going to see an agreement because Islam
30:32
Speaker 5: will not honor an agreement with an infidel. So you're
30:35
Speaker 5: not going to see an agreement. So, okay. Secondly, oil
30:40
Speaker 5: just went down again, if you look on the oil thing.
30:44
Speaker 5: I check that every day. But gas, Trump was yelling
30:49
Speaker 5: at the producers of gas to come on down, you know,
30:52
Speaker 5: to bring it down.
30:54
Speaker 8: And..
30:55
Speaker 5: That's, that's them trying to reach profits. And we live
30:59
Speaker 5: in America. So I'm not working, you know, there's nothing
31:02
Speaker 5: we can do about that unless they decide to do that. Um,
31:06
Speaker 5: the other thing is, uh, on the aspect of, uh, uh,
31:10
Speaker 5: what's going on in this country, people think the Democrats
31:13
Speaker 5: are going to win the midterms. You know, they're all
31:15
Speaker 5: scared about, blah, blah, blah, blah. Cause of the polls,
31:18
Speaker 5: the hell with the polls. Listen, you can't, uh, elect, uh, Democrat, socialist, communist.
31:26
Speaker 5: Like the guy in Michigan. You know what I mean?
31:30
Speaker 5: And did you hear what the Democrat said? I mean,
31:32
Speaker 5: how about the Cajun man? He said if he gets elected,
31:36
Speaker 5: he's quitting. And then Joe Manchin, same thing. And then
31:40
Speaker 5: another Democrat, same thing. They're getting out of the party.
31:43
Speaker 5: So what I'm saying is I'm not worried about the
31:47
Speaker 5: midterms because these guys are making it easy for us
31:50
Speaker 5: by saying... you know, no Senate, you know, more, you know,
31:56
Speaker 5: more judges on the Supreme Court, no president. I mean,
31:59
Speaker 5: come on, man. I mean, you know, like the one
32:03
Speaker 5: guy says, they're adding crazy sauce to everything. I mean,
32:07
Speaker 5: who's going to vote that in? Now, we have to
32:10
Speaker 5: go out and vote in the midterms. So everybody who's listening,
32:14
Speaker 5: vote in the midterms, okay? And then last but not least,
32:20
Speaker 5: John Fetterman is probably going to get out, too. He's
32:22
Speaker 5: sick of him.
32:25
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know that he's going to get out.
32:27
Speaker 1: He just disagrees with him. Fetterman actually is a pleasant surprise.
32:32
Speaker 1: I mean, Fetterman is his own man, it appears to me.
32:35
Speaker 1: I find it interesting that the Democrat Party is trying
32:38
Speaker 1: to find a male figure that's a male figure. And
32:43
Speaker 1: they come up with some of these characters and they
32:46
Speaker 1: try to make him more manly and it just falls
32:49
Speaker 1: flat on their face. And I'm thinking, you guys don't
32:52
Speaker 1: need to look any further than Fetterman. If you're looking
32:55
Speaker 1: for a normal guy or a male figure for your party,
32:59
Speaker 1: you should be looking at John Fetterman. You shouldn't be
33:01
Speaker 1: trying to look at this guy running in Texas who
33:04
Speaker 1: you go put in a truck to try and make
33:06
Speaker 1: look more manly or you're trying to make some guy
33:10
Speaker 1: masculine for the Democrats. I mean, look, I don't know
33:14
Speaker 1: why they ignore Fetterman. He would be their best choice.
33:17
Speaker 5: And you know what else, too? That girl, Sophie Cunningham,
33:21
Speaker 5: what a dream girl. I mean, I wish I was younger.
33:24
Speaker 5: I tell you what, I'd be pen-palling her. She's amazing.
33:29
Speaker 5: She's got a great attitude. She backs up her teammates.
33:33
Speaker 5: You know, when she gets beat up, she comes out
33:35
Speaker 5: and beats the person that beats her up hard. Oh,
33:38
Speaker 5: she's a black belt in jiu-jitsu.
33:41
Speaker 1: I tell you, when you talk about sports, what's troubling
33:43
Speaker 1: is how Kaitlyn Clark is treated. Oh, yeah, that's what
33:47
Speaker 1: I mean. And Kaitlyn Clark, is she treated that way
33:51
Speaker 1: because she's white and she's heterosexual? Is it because she's
33:57
Speaker 1: white and heterosexual? She seems to be getting snubbed by
34:01
Speaker 1: the WNBA. And she is the reason. She solely is
34:06
Speaker 1: the reason, solely for the growth in attention in that sport.
34:10
Speaker 1: She is the superstar of that sport, and it's like
34:14
Speaker 1: they don't want to acknowledge it because she's white and heterosexual.
34:18
Speaker 1: It's amazing to me, the stupidity.
34:21
Speaker 5: And Sophie's standing behind her. You see her? And she's
34:25
Speaker 5: doing great and, you know, going against the woke. And
34:28
Speaker 5: she's still wearing all her sneakers and her T-shirts. So
34:32
Speaker 5: the country loves her, too, you know? But like I say,
34:37
Speaker 5: you know, we're going to overcome all this. We are.
34:40
Speaker 5: We're going to win. And Trump, you know, nobody talks
34:45
Speaker 5: about all the things he did last week and the
34:47
Speaker 5: week before. Do you know what he did while you
34:49
Speaker 5: were gone on vacation? He got truck drivers, veterans to
34:55
Speaker 5: drive trucks so that we don't need illegals. I thought
34:58
Speaker 5: that was a great idea.
35:00
Speaker 1: Well, he's trying to get some of these states that
35:03
Speaker 1: are giving these CDLs out with some degree of– I mean,
35:09
Speaker 1: CDLs to people who can't even read the signs or
35:11
Speaker 1: speak English. That scares the heck out of.
35:14
Speaker 5: Me because I used to travel down to Florida all
35:16
Speaker 5: the time.
35:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and he wants to change that. He
35:19
Speaker 1: wants to change that tremendously. All right. Absolutely. Thank you,
35:22
Speaker 1: Bubba Ganoush, NewsRadio 570. Goodbye. You're on the air.
35:27
Speaker 5: Ronnie.
35:28
Speaker 1: It's the unknown caller. Yes.
35:30
Speaker 7: Hey, first of all, JJ, you know that cat joke?
35:34
Speaker 4: Yes.
35:34
Speaker 7: I could just see now that he's a Trumpster, they're
35:37
Speaker 7: going to say, yeah, new pandemic starts in Mahoning County
35:43
Speaker 7: from saved cat or whatever.
35:47
Speaker 1: Yeah. You're right. He better watch it now.
35:52
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah. It's not easy being a Trumpster.
35:55
Speaker 4: Just saying.
35:56
Speaker 7: Hey, did you take the Allegiant flight down there, Ronnie?
36:00
Speaker 1: No, I took Breeze.
36:02
Speaker 5: Breeze.
36:03
Speaker 10: Oh, okay.
36:04
Speaker 5: Wow.
36:05
Speaker 7: I didn't know you had that kind of money, Ronnie.
36:08
Speaker 1: Actually, I went out of the Akron-Canton airports and took Breeze,
36:12
Speaker 1: which was a pleasant experience, actually.
36:16
Speaker 5: Yeah.
36:16
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a nice drive there. But, yeah, also, was
36:22
Speaker 7: that Patty, the old battle axe, as Such a sweet
36:26
Speaker 7: soul now?
36:28
Speaker 1: No, it's not Patty, the old battle axe. I don't
36:31
Speaker 1: know what her first name is.
36:33
Speaker 7: I don't know. Maybe you don't know what you're talking about, Ronnie.
36:40
Speaker 1: I don't recognize her as Patty. I forget what her
36:43
Speaker 1: name is.
36:45
Speaker 4: All right.
36:46
Speaker 5: Hey, but, yeah, where do I start?
36:50
Speaker 7: I guess I heard, I think it was on Clay
36:54
Speaker 7: and Buck. that the crypto was down today?
36:58
Speaker 4: Yes.
37:00
Speaker 5: Yeah.
37:01
Speaker 7: Um, yeah, I, I, I have like, I don't know, maybe,
37:05
Speaker 7: you know, three grand in crypto that I bought 10
37:09
Speaker 7: years ago and I'm, I'm still down on it. So I,
37:13
Speaker 7: I don't know what's going on with that, but, um, Hey, the, uh,
37:20
Speaker 7: the ticks, you know, like, like the whole, um, tick thing.
37:24
Speaker 1: Yes.
37:24
Speaker 7: Uh, What is it, the white-spotted tick?
37:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the one that if it bites you, you
37:31
Speaker 1: can't eat meat anymore. You hate meat.
37:34
Speaker 4: Yeah.
37:35
Speaker 5: What's going on with that, Ronnie?
37:37
Speaker 7: Is that another one of.
37:38
Speaker 4: You know..
37:40
Speaker 1: I'm awful suspicious of it, like I told people, and
37:43
Speaker 1: people don't pay attention. Lyme disease was created in a
37:45
Speaker 1: military lab over in the New York area on an
37:51
Speaker 1: island where we simply had a bio facility there where
37:54
Speaker 1: they were experimenting with ticks, and they created Lyme disease.
37:58
Speaker 1: I think they might have also done Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever,
38:01
Speaker 1: but I know for certain Lyme disease, they didn't think
38:03
Speaker 1: it would get off this island, but the birds flew
38:05
Speaker 1: with these ticks on them, and the deers flew. swam
38:08
Speaker 1: onto the main islands. And in turn, people started coming
38:12
Speaker 1: down with something that we've never seen before called Lyme disease.
38:15
Speaker 1: And in turn, that's why it's called Lyme disease, because
38:18
Speaker 1: the community was like Lyme, New York, or the county was.
38:22
Speaker 4: So..
38:24
Speaker 1: Now I'm awful suspicious, I'll tell you. All of a
38:27
Speaker 1: sudden you've got this tick that if it bites you,
38:29
Speaker 1: you can't eat meat. At a time when Bill Gates
38:31
Speaker 1: was talking about we've got to eat less meat and
38:34
Speaker 1: eat this manufactured meat and stuff. Stand by, Unknown Caller.
38:37

Speaker 3: President of Marketing for Omnicom, weighs in on today's splintered

Speaker 3: media landscape.

39:27
Speaker 1: And Ron Verari, an unknown caller, what were you saying?
39:31
Speaker 7: We were talking about the ticks. Is this like a
39:34
Speaker 7: flesh-eating tick or.
39:35
Speaker 5: Something like that?
39:36
Speaker 1: No, I mean, the typical tick, they get in you
39:39
Speaker 1: and they... put this stuff in you. If you're asking me,
39:42
Speaker 1: do I think that that tick was man-made?
39:45
Speaker 4: I do.
39:46
Speaker 1: I mean, just as I said to you, Lyme disease
39:49
Speaker 1: was that way. I had a cousin that died from
39:52
Speaker 1: a tick bite with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. I have
39:54
Speaker 1: a cousin who was in Tennessee, and he got bit
39:59
Speaker 1: by a tick, and he died from Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
40:03
Speaker 1: But Lyme disease was created in a lab, and I
40:06
Speaker 1: think that it's what a coincidence. Bill Gates talking about
40:08
Speaker 1: we got to eat less meat. All of a sudden,
40:10
Speaker 1: you have this tick that bites you, and then you
40:12
Speaker 1: hate meat. Isn't that interesting?
40:14
Speaker 7: It was only like a couple weeks or a couple months.
40:17
Speaker 5: Later, right?
40:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't that long ago.
40:21
Speaker 7: Hey, I know you don't like to go back in
40:24
Speaker 7: the past, but in like 1978, gas was like $ 1. 79
40:27
Speaker 7: a gallon, and the cars got like 10 miles a gallon.
40:33
Speaker 7: So we all went through this before. It's like the
40:35
Speaker 7: ebb and flow of everything. But today there are so
40:38
Speaker 7: many more things that people are dependent on, like streaming services,
40:44
Speaker 7: their phones. There's so much more expense going out and
40:48
Speaker 7: basically caused by the computer age, I think. Back in
40:52
Speaker 7: the day, it was like we got to get food
40:54
Speaker 7: and gas for the car to get to work. And
40:57
Speaker 7: now there's just so much other stuff that you got
41:00
Speaker 7: to pay for. And people are just like, oh, I
41:03
Speaker 7: need this, I need that, you know. So I think
41:06
Speaker 7: that's a big part of the problem with the finances
41:10
Speaker 7: of people today. Plus they got, you know, the charge
41:14
Speaker 7: cards that they can't pay off.
41:17
Speaker 1: Right. I mean, if you're saying to me we got
41:19
Speaker 1: more bills than our forefathers had, I would agree with that.
41:22
Speaker 1: You had forefathers? Well, yeah, I had four of them.
41:27
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about Internet, you're talking about cell phone, cable,
41:31
Speaker 1: whatever the case might be.
41:34
Speaker 7: You got gaming systems, you know.
41:38
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of times people want to
41:39
Speaker 1: start where their parents started, and it doesn't work that way.
41:46
Speaker 7: Hey, Ron, the good thing is that the Mahoning County commissioners,
41:50
Speaker 7: you know, they're here for.
41:55
Speaker 10: Us.
41:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're here for you.
