  Speaker 1: as always three, three, zero seven, two, nine 99, 77, three, three,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: zero seven, two, nine 99, 77. We'll get you through
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to the broadcast here this afternoon. If you would like
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to conversate, we'd be more than happy to hear from
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: you here this afternoon on news radio, five 70 WDKVN. Um,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I found this interesting, and this was a discussion that
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I had today with my son. He's 33 years old, 33,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: 34 years old, and I thought it was an excellent observation.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: When Clay, was it Buck or Clay, if you're listening
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: to the show, I can't tell the difference between the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: two of them, when they said, you know, the problem
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: with young people is that they're not having enough children.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: And so did you hear that on the Clay and
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Buck show? And I hear this all the time. Well,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the problem is young people aren't having enough children. And
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I thought my son made an excellent point. He turned
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: to me and he says, you know what the problem
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: is when you hear stuff like that coming from guys
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: like that? They don't understand what's going on with young
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: people today. He said, and you sit and you listen.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: He says, they don't understand how expensive everything is and
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: how expensive it is for young people to have children.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: You want to know why people in my generation aren't
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: having as many children? Because everything costs so much. Cars, trucks, SUVs, whatever, repairs, houses,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: replacing the furnace, air conditioner, hot water tanks, everything costs
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: so much. Everything just got so damn expensive, including having
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: children and the cost of daycare and everything else. That's
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: why people in my generation aren't having as many children
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: as they think we should be having. You see people
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: having a lot of children that are on the dole
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: where the government pays for everything. But as far as
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: productive people that go to work and pay the bills
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and don't get government handouts, they're not having a bunch
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: of children.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Because they can't afford them. Because as a result of
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: government policies, everything has become so damn expensive. How about
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: this for an example? A friend of mine, a good
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: friend of mine, For example, if you have, as a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: result of this tornado, and I realize for some of
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you that aren't around here, man, if you go through,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: if you drive through some of these streets, some of
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the area that had this tornado, it is really eye-opening,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the power of Mother Nature and how the trees are
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: down and twisted and just what has happened in large
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: sections of this community. So he didn't get any trees
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: on his house. All right, but he's got... 80-foot trees
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: or whatever they are, you know, these big tall trees
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: in his backyard and everything. And the tornado goes through
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and just twists the top of them all off. And
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: then any of them that had like a split halfway up,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you know, it splits them apart so they're sagging and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: they potentially could fall on the house. And he's telling
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: me this. Now, listen to this. This is how the
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: tornado affects people around here. So your insurance company will
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: not cover trees unless they're on your roof, unless they're
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: on your house or your garage. If they're in your yard,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the insurance doesn't cover it. And he checked with his insurance.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So he gets estimates from tree companies to... deal with
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: these trees that are busted on the top or sagging.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: He's got to do something, and they are tall trees.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: The cheapest estimate, the least expensive estimate that he had.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: A flash flood warning for the following county, Lawrence, Pennsylvania.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh has issued a flash

• 6:18
  Speaker 4: until 6.15 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time for the following county, Lawrence, Pennsylvania.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: All right, so be advised, Ron, for 313. So I'm
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: telling you about the trees that are just screwed up
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: in this area. It's a friend of mine in his yard.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: And as I say, they're not on his house. So
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: if they were, the insurance company would pay to get
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: rid of that tree. But they're just trees throughout his
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: yard that have to come down. The least expensive quote
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: he got to do that work was $ 20, 000.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: $ 20, 000. $ 20, 000.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: And you have to act on it because some of
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: them are leaning. You're nervous that they're going to bust
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: into your house or your shed or your garage.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: $ 20, 000.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: That he has to pay for. Not his insurance. He
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: has to come up with $ 20, 000 to get this done.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: When I was driving down the other day, when I
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: left the radio station, I drove down Tippecanoe. And I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: use this because you can be in certain parts of
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: our listening area and be totally oblivious to this tornado
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: that went through this section of our community and the
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: damage it done and totally oblivious to it. So when
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I went down Tippecanoe and I looked, there was a
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: house on the right that's kind of down there. down
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: in a gully, and I looked down there, and there's
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: all kinds of, once again, them large trees. I looked
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: at tree companies down there that they were dealing with
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: a problem. Huge logs, just a massive undertaking. And I thought,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: what has that got to cost? So a lot of
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: this devastation, people got to pay for out of their
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: own pocket, and the bills are substantial. I mean, some
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: of these tree companies... Maybe it's supply and demand seem
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to be really– prices are high, supply and demand, or
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: for some of them. But what are you going to do?
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just– So anyway, I'm kind of tying
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: things together here. Like I say, my son is hearing
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: that on Clay and Buckson. What will young people know?
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Why aren't they having more children?
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: And you can tell these guys are out of touch
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: with reality. And that's when he turns to me and
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: he says, these guys don't understand a thing about my generation.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: They're sitting there and they're totally lost with it. They
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: don't understand. They don't understand how damn expensive everything is.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there and I'm taking it all in
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: from them. And I thought to myself, he's 100% right,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: how expensive it is to have kids. And then he
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: gets into his tirade, how everything is just off the charts,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: ridiculously expensive. Just a thought. Just a thought. I just
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: thought it was a good point. And that's why a
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: lot of productive people aren't having a bunch of kids
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: because they feel they can't afford it. Now, if you're
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: on a government dole, you can have people that are
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: on a government dole, they'd be more than happy to
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: have as many kids as they can because you're paying
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: for it. It's just interesting when you hear people in
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: our society kind of bitching at people The productive young
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: people aren't having more children, and we aren't growing our population,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: and they don't understand what the issue is and why
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: they're not doing that. They're so out of touch with reality.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: You're on the air.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: Ron?
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: It's the boss lady.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: You know what?
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: How are you?
• 10:36
  Speaker 8: Good.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I'm going to start with a compliment. You keep up
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the fight. You know, you get Denise out there signing
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: this petition to get the signatures to get that constitutional
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: amendment on there. You've gone out and collected signatures for it.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: And I commend you for doing that. I commend her
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: for doing that. Because these property taxes are out of control.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I played this.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: A urgent weather message. The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh

• 12:54
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll keep you posted, 319. So I want
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: to go back to Boss Lady. So you keep up
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the fight on that, because were you listening the other
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: day when I played Ron DeSantis?
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I did.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: How refreshing was that to hear? A couple of things
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I want to mention here. Listen, folks, for whatever reason,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the podcasts aren't getting up. I personally have nothing to
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: do with posting them, all right? Thanks for informing me.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I've sent it up the chain of command. There was apparently...
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: is there some issues with our system that they're trying
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to deal with? So that's why they haven't been, the
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: show hasn't been getting posted. And I don't know if
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the back programs will get posted. But I played this
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis commentary about what they're doing in Florida. But
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: wasn't it refreshing to hear his philosophy on taxes and governments?
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: And I was thinking of you when I was playing it,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: where he said, hey, we have lowered taxes. the amount
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: of government spending this year from what we spent last year.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: And last year, we lowered it from the year before.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: And the year before that, we lowered it. We are
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: spending less money, and it's not adjusted for inflation. Like
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: he said, we have no adjustment for inflation. It's the dollars.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: We have just basically reviewed everything. Zero-based budgeting. We don't say, well,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: this is how much you got last year, so that's
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: where we start. We go down to zero. Now you've
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: got to justify everything. And asking questions like, well, wait
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: a minute, the school system has less pupils, but you
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: want twice as much money and you have less students.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: None of this makes sense. Or some of the wasteful
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: spending on ridiculous things that government shouldn't be doing in
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the first place. How refreshing did you find that?
• 14:46
  Speaker 9: Oh, I thought it was fantastic because that's exactly what
• 14:50
  Speaker 9: a true leader, somebody who cares about the taxpayer, that's
• 14:54
  Speaker 9: how they're going to approach it. That's exactly how you
• 14:56
  Speaker 9: would approach that. Zero-based budgeting, and just because we spent
• 15:00
  Speaker 9: it last year does not mean we spend it this year, a.k.a.
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: or let me remind you, COVID money.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Stand by, stand by, stand by. Just bear with me,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: boss lady. All right, come back to the boss lady.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I want to talk to her for a bit. I'll
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: get to more of your calls straight ahead.
• 15:14
  Speaker 10: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: All right, dark skies and some rain in our area,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: 74 degrees. Welcome to Friday. Ron Verb with you on
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570 WKBN with my top secret number as always, 330-729-9977, 330-729-9977.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: We'll get you through to the broadcast here this afternoon.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: If you would like to conversate, we'd be more than
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: happy to. to hear from you here this afternoon on
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: News Radio 570 WKBN. I found this interesting, and this
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: was a discussion that I had today with my son.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: He's 33 years old, 33, 34. years old, and I
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: thought it was an excellent observation. Was it Buck or Clay,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: if you're listening to the show, I can't tell the
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: difference between the two of them, when they said, you know,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the problem with young people is that they're not having
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: enough children. And so did you hear that on the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Clay and Buck show? And I hear this all the time. Well,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: the problem is young people aren't having enough children. And
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I thought my son made an excellent point. He turned
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: to me and he says, you know what the problem
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: is when you hear stuff like that coming from guys
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: like that? They don't understand what's going on with young
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: people today. He said, and you sit and you listen.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: He says, they don't understand how expensive everything is and
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: how expensive it is for young people to have children.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: You want to know why people in my generation aren't
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: having as many children? Because everything costs so much.
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: Cars.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Trucks, SUVs, whatever. Repairs, houses. Replacing the furnace, air conditioner,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: hot water tanks. Everything costs so much. Everything just got
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: so damn expensive. Including having children. And the cost of
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: daycare and everything else. That's why people in my generation
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: aren't having children. as many children as they think we
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: should be having. You see people having a lot of
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: children that are on the dole where the government pays
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: for everything. But as far as productive people that go
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: to work and have to pay the bills and don't
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: get government handouts, they're not having a bunch of children.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Because they can't afford them. Because as a result of
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: government policies, everything has become so damn expensive. How about
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: this for an example? A friend of mine, a good
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: friend of mine, for example, if you have, as a
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: result of this tornado, and I realize for some of
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: you that aren't around here, man, if you go through,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: if you drive through some of these streets, some of
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the area that had this tornado, it is really eye-opening information.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the power of mother nature and how the trees are
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: down and twisted and just, and just what, what has
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: happened in large sections of this community. So he didn't
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: get any trees on his house.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: But he's got 80 foot trees or whatever they are,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: you know, these big tall trees in his backyard and everything.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: And the tornado goes through and just twist, twist the
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: top of them all off. And then any of them
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: that had like a split halfway up, you know, it
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: splits them apart so they're sagging and they potentially could
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: fall on a house. And he's telling me this. Now,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: listen to this. This is how the tornado affects people
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: around here. So your insurance company will not cover trees
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: unless they're on your roof, unless they're on your house
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: or your garage. If they're in your yard, the insurance
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: doesn't cover it. And he checked with his insurance. So
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: he gets estimates from tree companies to deal with these
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: trees that are busted on the top or sagging. He's
• 19:33

• 21:46
  Speaker 1: All right, so be advised, Ron, for 313. So I'm
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: telling you about the trees that are just screwed up
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: in this area. It's a friend of mine in his yard.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: And as I say, they're not on his house. So
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: if they were, the insurance company would pay to get
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: rid of that tree. But they're just trees throughout his
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: yard that have to come down. The least expensive quote
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: he got to do that work was $ 20, 000.
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: $ 20, 000.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: And you have to act on it because some of
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: them are leaning. You're nervous that they're going to bust
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: into your house or your shed or your garage.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: $ 20, 000.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: That he has to pay for. Not his insurance. He
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: has to come up with $ 20, 000 to get this done.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: When I was driving down the other day, when I
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: left the radio station, I drove down Tippecanoe. And I
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: use this because you can be in certain parts of
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: our listening area and be totally oblivious to this tornado
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: that went through this section of our community and the
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: damage it done and totally oblivious to it. So when
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I went down Tippecanoe and I looked, there was a
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: house on the right. It's kind of down there. down
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: in a gully, and I looked down there, and there's
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: all kinds of, once again, them large trees. I looked
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: at tree companies down there that they were dealing with
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: a problem. Huge logs, just a massive undertaking. And I thought,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: what has that got to cost? So a lot of
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: this devastation, people got to pay for out of their
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: own pocket, and the bills are substantial. I mean, some
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: of these tree companies, maybe it's supply and demand seem
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: to be really– prices are high, supply and demand, or
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: for some of them. But what are you going to do?
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just– So anyway, I'm kind of tying
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: things together here. Like I say, my son is hearing
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: that on Clay and Buckson. What will young people know?
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Why aren't they having more children?
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: And you can tell these guys are out of touch
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: with reality. And that's when he turns to me and
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: he says, these guys don't understand a thing about my generation.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: They're sitting there and they're totally lost with it. They
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: don't understand. They don't understand how damn expensive everything is.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there and I'm taking it all in
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: from them. And I thought to myself, he's 100% right,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: how expensive it is to have kids. And then he
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: gets into his tirade, how everything is just off the charts,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: ridiculously expensive. Just a thought. Just a thought. I just
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: thought it was a good point. And that's why a
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: lot of productive people aren't having a bunch of kids
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: because they feel they can't afford it. Now, if you're
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: on the government dole, you could have people that are
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: on the government dole, they'd be more than happy to
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: have as many kids as they can because you're paying
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: for it. It's just interesting when you hear people in
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: our society kind of bitching that the productive young people
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: aren't having more children and we aren't growing our population
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: and they don't understand what the issue is and why
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: they're not doing that. They're so out of touch with reality.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: You're on the air.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: Ron.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: It's the boss lady. You know what?
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: How are you?
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: Good.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I'm going to start with a compliment. You keep up
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: the fight. You know, you get Denise out there signing
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: this petition to get the signatures to get that constitutional
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: amendment on there. You've gone out and collected signatures for it.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: And I commend you for doing that. I commend her
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: for doing that because these property taxes are out of control.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I played this.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: An urgent weather message. The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh

  Speaker 4: following county, Lawrence, Pennsylvania.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll keep you posted, 319. So I want
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: to go back to Boss Lady. So you keep up
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: the fight on that, because were you listening the other
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: day when I played Ron DeSantis?
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I did.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: How refreshing was that to hear? A couple of things
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I want to mention here. Listen, folks, for whatever reason,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the podcasts aren't getting up. I personally have nothing to
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: do with posting them, all right? Thanks for informing me.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I sent it up the chain of command. There was apparently...
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Is there some issues with with our system that they're
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: trying to deal with? So so that's why they haven't been.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: The show hasn't been getting posted. And I don't know
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: if the back programs will get posted. But I played
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: this Ron DeSantis commentary about what they're doing in Florida.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: But wasn't it refreshing to hear his philosophy on taxes
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: and governments? And I was thinking of you when I
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: was playing it where he said, hey, we have lowered taxes.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: the amount of government spending this year from what we
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: spent last year. And last year, we lowered it from
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: the year before. And the year before that, we lowered it.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: We are spending less money, and it's not adjusted for inflation.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Like you said, we have no adjustment for inflation. It's
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: the dollars. We have just basically reviewed everything. Zero-based budgeting.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: We don't say, well, this is how much you got
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: last year, so that's where we start. We go to
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: to zero. Now you've got to justify everything. And asking
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: questions like, well, wait a minute. This school system has
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: less pupils, but you want twice as much money, and
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: you have less students. None of this makes sense or
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: some of the wasteful spending on ridiculous things that government
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing in the first place. How refreshing did
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: you find that?
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: Oh, I thought it was fantastic because that's exactly what
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: a true leader, somebody who cares about the taxpayer, that's
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: how they're going to approach it. That's exactly how you
• 30:16
  Speaker 9: would approach that. Zero-based budgeting, and just because we spent
• 30:19
  Speaker 9: it last year does not mean we spend it this year, a.k.a.
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: or let me remind you, COVID money.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Stand by, stand by, stand by. Just bear with me,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: boss lady. All right, I'm coming back to the boss lady.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I want to talk to her for a bit. I'll
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: get to more of your calls straight ahead. Hey, Ron,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go check in with Mike Leonard. He's
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: out of.
• 30:39
  Speaker 10: Youngstown's News, Weather, and Talk Station, 570 WKBN.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: All right, back to it. So what I'm saying to you,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Boss Lady, is how refreshing just was DeSantis' philosophy. And
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: it tells you how backward... it is around here from
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: what you're hearing from your local politicians. See, they believe
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: your money goes to government first and you get the crumbs.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: As DeSantis said, here in the state of Florida, it's
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: your money first and we get the crumbs.
• 31:11
  Speaker 9: Absolutely. And then you see articles like where the teachers
• 31:17
  Speaker 9: in Boardman voted in favor of a potential strike. So
• 31:20
  Speaker 9: I'd like to point out a couple things about the
• 31:24
  Speaker 9: Boardman School District. Those teachers are the second highest paid
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: in this county. The average is $ 70, 000 a year, which
• 31:34
  Speaker 9: is about $ 100, 000 run rate. That district has 23 million
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: in an unreserved fund balance. So that's 46% of their
• 31:44
  Speaker 9: annual spending. 59% of their school funding is coming from
• 31:51
  Speaker 9: the taxpayer. Now, mind you, the last 10 years, Their
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: population has decreased by 1,000 students. The teacher count stayed flat,
• 32:02
  Speaker 9: and the administrative count went up by five.
• 32:06
  Speaker 13: So you've got, and.
• 32:07
  Speaker 9: Then you've got an average median household income of 38,000
• 32:14
  Speaker 9: in Boardman. So you're asking people with that income to
• 32:19
  Speaker 9: bear the brunt of funding schools at the tune of 60%. OK,
• 32:27
  Speaker 9: and these teachers dare want to strike. What could you
• 32:31
  Speaker 9: possibly be mad about? What what is it, Ron? I'd
• 32:35
  Speaker 9: love to know, because at one hundred thousand dollar run rate,
• 32:39
  Speaker 9: you are compensated well. And I'm not saying you're not
• 32:41
  Speaker 9: confident too much. I'm not even going to get into
• 32:43
  Speaker 9: all that. I'm saying you're compensated well.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: So you're talking total cost of employment with benefits, right?
• 32:51
  Speaker 9: This is 70,000. This is from Ralph Meacham, and I
• 32:54
  Speaker 9: pulled this data.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, but you're saying 70,000. Average salary. Average salary plus
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: benefits would mean it's 100,000.
• 33:03
  Speaker 9: Plus fringe benefits.
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Beyond the 70,000.
• 33:07
  Speaker 9: Beyond the 70,000. That's the average.
• 33:09
  Speaker 14: Okay?
• 33:10
  Speaker 9: So they're all in an upper. We don't know why
• 33:13
  Speaker 9: they want to strike.
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: All I know is.
• 33:16
  Speaker 9: Is by the looks of it, nobody's lost a job,
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: even though the thousand students have gone down. They've increased administrators.
• 33:25
  Speaker 9: That area does not have that kind of money, and
• 33:28
  Speaker 9: they're bearing the brunt of the funding by 60% and
• 33:33
  Speaker 9: you've got something you would like to complain about.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I don't even want to hear it. I want to
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: make sure I get this straight from what you're saying.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: So from your research, you're saying that.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: There's less students.
• 33:46
  Speaker 9: A thousand less.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: So it should not require more money because we have
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: less students, right?
• 33:55
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and don't you think 70, yes, absolutely.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: All right, so, and you're telling me from what you saw,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: the average income in Boardman is like $ 40, 000 a year? $ 40, 000.
• 34:05
  Speaker 9: And they bear and shoulder 60%. of the burden to
• 34:14
  Speaker 9: fund those schools.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Well, look at Canfield.
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: And these teachers are the.
• 34:17
  Speaker 9: Second highest paid in this county. What more would they
• 34:21
  Speaker 9: like these Boardman people to do for them? That's what
• 34:24
  Speaker 9: I would love to know. What is it that you
• 34:26
  Speaker 9: have a complaint about?
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 34:29
  Speaker 9: And then, you'll want to really know this idiot from
• 34:31
  Speaker 9: Canfield that went into the commissioner's meeting and was totally,
• 34:34
  Speaker 9: you know, crying and acting like an idiot.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, hang on, boss.
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: And Cheryl Rigetti, to be honest.
• 34:39
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Go ahead. Okay, hang on, boss lady, because I want
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: to read this. All right. No, just... The Canfield School
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Board voted Wednesday to place a 5.9 mil operating levy.
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: Oh, I know.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Just sit down. Listen, settle down, Beavis, for a minute, okay?
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: The Canfield School Board voted Wednesday to place a 5.9
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: mil operating levy on a November ballot. And Thursday, the
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: board issued a news release stating a possible cuts if
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the levy fails. In other words, we know your taxes
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: are high. We know your property just got reevaluated and
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: your taxes are going to go up. But we want
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: you to hear this. We're the school board. We want
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: a 5.9 mil gigantic levy in Canfield. And you listen here.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: If you don't pass it, we're going to cut 40
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: to 50 employees, including teachers, age and support staff. The
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: board said as a result, the following following. Wait a second.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: May be cut. Keyword may consolidation of administrative duties. Why
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: aren't we doing this already? Elementary and middle school STEM programs,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: high school elective programs. courses including programs such as aviation
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: and forensics advanced academic opportunities including honors ap and college
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: credit standby boss lady just standby yeah all right settle
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: down beavis i'm going to come back to you okay
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: in a minute on news radio 570 wkbn.
• 35:59
  Speaker 10: Town's news weather and talk station 570 wkbn.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: All right back back to it so what i'm saying
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: to you boss lady is uh How refreshing just was DeSantis' philosophy.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: And it tells you how backward it is around here
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: from what you're hearing from your local politicians. See, they
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: believe your money goes to government first and you get
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: the crumbs. As DeSantis said here in the state of Florida,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: it's your money first and we get the crumbs.
• 36:30
  Speaker 9: Absolutely. And then you see articles like where the teachers
• 36:35
  Speaker 9: and boardmen voted in favor of a potential strike. So
• 36:39
  Speaker 9: I'd like to point out a couple things about the
• 36:43
  Speaker 9: Boardman School District. Those teachers are the second highest paid
• 36:48
  Speaker 9: in this county. The average is $ 70, 000 a year, which
• 36:53
  Speaker 9: is about a $ 100, 000 run rate. That district has $ 23
• 36:57
  Speaker 9: million in an unreserved fund balance. So that's 46% of
• 37:01
  Speaker 9: their annual spending. 59% of their school funding... is coming
• 37:10
  Speaker 9: from the taxpayer. Now, mind you, the last 10 years,
• 37:15
  Speaker 9: their population has decreased by 1,000 students. The teacher count
• 37:19
  Speaker 9: stayed flat and the administrative count went up by five.
• 37:25
  Speaker 9: So you've got, and then you've got an average median
• 37:32
  Speaker 9: household income of 38,000 in Boardman. So you're asking people
• 37:36
  Speaker 9: with that income to bear the brunt of funding schools
• 37:42
  Speaker 9: at the tune of 60%, okay? And these teachers dare
• 37:47
  Speaker 9: wanna strike? What could you possibly be mad about?
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: What?
• 37:52
  Speaker 9: What is it, Ron? I'd love to know. Because at
• 37:55
  Speaker 9: $ 100, 000 run rate, you are compensated well. And I'm not
• 37:59
  Speaker 9: saying you're not compensated too much. I'm not even going
• 38:02
  Speaker 9: to get into all that. I'm saying you're compensated well.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: So you're talking total cost of employment with benefits, right?
• 38:09
  Speaker 9: This is 70,000. This is from Ralph Meacham, and I
• 38:13
  Speaker 9: pulled this data.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, but you're saying 70,000 average salary plus benefits would
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: mean it's 100,000.
• 38:21
  Speaker 15: Plus fringe benefits.
• 38:23
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Beyond the 70,000.
• 38:26
  Speaker 9: Beyond the 70,000. That's the average.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 38:29
  Speaker 9: So they're all in an upper. We don't know why
• 38:32
  Speaker 9: they want to strike.
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: All I know is.
• 38:35
  Speaker 9: is by the looks of it, nobody's lost a job,
• 38:37
  Speaker 9: even though the thousand students have gone down. They've increased administrators.
• 38:44
  Speaker 7: That area does not have that kind of money, and.
• 38:47
  Speaker 9: They're bearing the brunt of the funding by the tune
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: of 60%, and you've got something you would like to
• 38:53
  Speaker 9: complain about.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I don't even want to hear it. I want to
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: make sure I get this straight from what you're saying.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: So from your research, you're saying that.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: There's less students.
• 39:05
  Speaker 9: A thousand less.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: So it should not require more money because we have
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: less students, right?
• 39:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and don't you think 70, yes, absolutely.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: All right, so, and you're telling me from what you saw,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: the average income in Boardman is like $ 40, 000 a year? $ 40, 000.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: And they're insured.
• 39:30
  Speaker 9: 60% of the burden to fund those schools.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Well, look at Canfield.
• 39:35
  Speaker 9: And these teachers are the second highest paid in this county.
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: What more would they like these.
• 39:41
  Speaker 9: Boardman people to do for them? That's what I would
• 39:43
  Speaker 9: love to know. What is it that you have a
• 39:45
  Speaker 9: complaint about?
• 39:47
  Speaker 7: OK, and then you'll want to really know this idiot.
• 39:50
  Speaker 9: From Canfield that went into the commissioner's meeting and was totally,
• 39:53
  Speaker 9: you know, crying and acting like an idiot.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, hang on.
• 39:55
  Speaker 9: To be honest.
• 39:58
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: OK, hang on, boss lady, because I want to read this.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: All right. The Canfield School Board voted Wednesday to place

• 42:55
  Speaker 1: All right. Heidi Ho, 335 in the afternoon. So listen,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: if you live in Canfield, I got the boss lady
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: on the end of my line. So let me start
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: from the top. Okay, boss lady?
• 43:03
  Speaker 16: Let's go.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: Settle down, Beavis. All right. See, that's why they call
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: her boss lady. She's like very demanding. Let's go. The
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Canfield School Board voted Wednesday to place a 5.9 mil
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: operating levy on a November ballot, which is huge. And
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: keeping in mind, as I like to say, you just
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: got an additional reevaluation, so your taxes are going to
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: go up without voting for anything. And Thursday, the board
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: issued a news release stating the possible cuts if the
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: levy fails. In other words, we want you to know,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: if you don't pass this, here's what we may do, okay?
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: What we may do. Let me bring it up here.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Consolidation of administrative duties. Well, why shouldn't that be done now?
• 43:47
  Speaker 7: Exactly. They have plenty of them.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 43:49
  Speaker 9: Come on for it.
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: Go.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Elementary and middle school STEM programs. High school elective courses,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: including programs such as aviation and forensic. Advanced academic opportunities,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: including honors, AP and college credit plus.
• 44:06
  Speaker 9: Ccp where they're going to get the parents they're going
• 44:09
  Speaker 9: to get the parents all riled up.
• 44:10
  Speaker 7: With that and i don't blame them because it's not.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Necessary well i'm going to address that if you just
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: hang in there ccp courses at the middle and high
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: school level foreign language programs non core courses such as
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: art music family and consumer sciences home economics are requiring
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: families to pay additional participation fees school sponsored field trips
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: In addition, a board may decide to review pay-to-participate fees
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: for athletics and extracurriculars, state minimum transportation, including busing for
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: students in grades 9 through 12 and those living within
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: two miles of the school, reconfiguring of elementary buildings. This
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: levy is about maintaining the educational opportunities our students receive today,
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: said the superintendent, Joe Knoll. Like many school districts across Ohio,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: Canfield is facing increasing operating costs while state funding has
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: failed to keep pace. Without additional revenue, we will be
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: forced to make difficult decisions that will significantly impact our
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: students and schools. He doesn't say anything there about the
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: significant impact and choices that.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: The people who might have to pay an additional 5.9
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: mil levy would be faced to pay. And so somebody
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: who sent me that said, this is total BS. Pass
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: it or we'll destroy your school system. Also, they have
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: zero ability to eliminate college credit plus. It is mandated
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: by the state of Ohio, and they are required to
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: offer it to their students since it's funded by state,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: not local dollars.
• 45:49
  Speaker 9: Well, I'm going to tell you where canceled excels. Here's
• 45:51
  Speaker 9: where canceled excels. They excel in three areas. They have
• 45:55
  Speaker 9: the highest teacher wages in the county at an average
• 45:57
  Speaker 9: of $ 75, 000. They have the highest unreserved cash fund. They're
• 46:05
  Speaker 9: sitting on 60%. It's 60%. It's the highest in the county.
• 46:09
  Speaker 9: And their residents have the highest tax burden in this
• 46:13
  Speaker 9: county at 63%. And they went out there and they
• 46:17
  Speaker 9: wanted to get all sloppy fee about a measly $ 100
• 46:22
  Speaker 9: to $ 150 homeowner occupancy credit. So now they want to
• 46:25
  Speaker 9: fearmonger everybody. They have a huge, enormous cash fund, just
• 46:31
  Speaker 9: like Bourbon does. Bourbon has a nice, healthy cash fund.
• 46:35
  Speaker 9: And the more I was researching and I went to
• 46:37
  Speaker 9: the state site, it looked like the state was saying
• 46:40
  Speaker 9: no less than 20%. So 20% was a good unreserved
• 46:45
  Speaker 9: cash fund, meaning you had months of operating expenses at
• 46:50
  Speaker 9: your leisure.
• 46:50
  Speaker 7: No, these guys want to build these big, huge.
• 46:52
  Speaker 9: Rainy day funds, and then they don't want to use them.
• 46:55
  Speaker 9: And you want to cut teachers. Now, if your ratios
• 46:58
  Speaker 9: are off, cut the teachers. I'm all for cutting the
• 47:01
  Speaker 9: administrative costs because they've got certainly a.
• 47:03
  Speaker 7: Lot of those as well. This is out of control.
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: It's completely out of control.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: Right. This is a point you're trying to make. I mean,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: so you're saying, say that again to me, Canfield has
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: what tax percentage?
• 47:22
  Speaker 9: The highest teacher wages at an average $ 75, 000, the highest
• 47:25
  Speaker 9: unreserved cash fund at 60%, and the highest taxpayer burden
• 47:30
  Speaker 9: for homeowners at 63%. That's where they excel in this county.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: So they have the highest tax burden for homeowners.
• 47:39
  Speaker 20: Yep.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: And they want him to pass a 5.8 mil levy.
• 47:44
  Speaker 9: Yep, they do. Yep, they do. And that guy went
• 47:46
  Speaker 9: in there and cried over a measly $ 100. He better
• 47:49
  Speaker 9: not even blame it. If he has issues, don't dare.
• 47:53
  Speaker 9: They have 15 and a half FTE of administrators in Canfield.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, shouldn't it? Don't you think? Gee, boy, times
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: are tough. Maybe we look at consolidating duties and making
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: some changes to be able to operate on the budget
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: that we have, God forbid?
• 48:10
  Speaker 9: They have to. And then you want to hear the
• 48:13
  Speaker 9: worst thing, the grossest thing that I've ever heard in
• 48:15
  Speaker 9: my life? That superintendent down at Youngstown makes $ 160, 000 a year.
• 48:21
  Speaker 9: He's got the worst performance. And you know what he
• 48:24
  Speaker 9: does that is even worse and more disgusting than that?
• 48:27
  Speaker 9: The teachers are the second lowest paid in the county.
• 48:31
  Speaker 9: So we've got the teachers.
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: He's paying the lowest in.
• 48:33
  Speaker 9: The county while he makes the most in the county.
• 48:36
  Speaker 9: And by a large amount, he makes the most in
• 48:38
  Speaker 9: the county.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: This is the Youngstown City Schools.
• 48:41
  Speaker 9: And Campbell should wrap it up tomorrow. Campbell should fold tomorrow.
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: Pack it up, go move into Struthers or let's go
• 48:48
  Speaker 7: somewhere else.
• 48:48
  Speaker 9: Because their operating efficiency is awful. They are spending a
• 48:54
  Speaker 9: ton of money on students. Their teachers are the lowest
• 48:58
  Speaker 9: paid in the county. And their superintendent is one of
• 49:01
  Speaker 9: the highest. He's like top two in the county.
• 49:04
  Speaker 7: And they get all their money.
• 49:06
  Speaker 9: From the state pretty much. And so does Youngstown. It
• 49:10
  Speaker 9: needs to stop. It is so backwards. How do you
• 49:13
  Speaker 9: get $ 160, 000 a year for failing every single year? Because
• 49:17
  Speaker 9: you can't do that in the private sector. So where
• 49:20
  Speaker 9: can I get a job that every single.
• 49:21
  Speaker 7: Day I can come in and fail.
• 49:23
  Speaker 9: Every day and make $ 160, 000? I just would love to know.
• 49:26
  Speaker 7: Can someone tell me where to go?
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Let me think about it. Hey, you need to get
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: your own radio call-in show. I got an idea. But
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: you can't fail.
• 49:39
  Speaker 10: No, you're winning.
• 49:40
  Speaker 9: You're winning. You're helping us because it's egregious. And what
• 49:44
  Speaker 9: really made me mad was the audacity that Canfield then
• 49:46
  Speaker 9: came out with this and Boardman wants to threaten to strike.
• 49:50
  Speaker 9: And that community has, first.
• 49:52
  Speaker 7: Of all, they're the economic engine of the entire county.
• 49:56
  Speaker 9: They're generating all the money.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: It's hard for me to imagine.
• 49:58
  Speaker 7: And you keep burdening them and burdening them.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: You're telling me, though, the average income in Boardman is
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: $ 40, 000 a year, roughly?
• 50:05
  Speaker 9: I'm going to, you know, I second-guessed it myself, and
• 50:08
  Speaker 9: I've triple-checked it a thousand times. This came from the,
• 50:11
  Speaker 9: these are 2024 data points, because I wanted to say that,
• 50:15
  Speaker 9: so I'm glad you reminded me. 2025 has not come
• 50:18
  Speaker 9: out yet. So, number one, this is 2024 data. That's
• 50:22
  Speaker 9: all I have. And number two, this came straight from
• 50:25
  Speaker 9: the county. So if they made an error, then that's
• 50:28
  Speaker 9: on them and somebody call them.
• 50:31
  Speaker 7: But I will send you the exact document that.
• 50:33
  Speaker 9: I pulled down from the county. I used their document
• 50:36
  Speaker 9: and then paired it with other things that came straight
• 50:38
  Speaker 9: from the state.
• 50:39
  Speaker 7: I didn't even do the math.
• 50:41
  Speaker 9: I created the documents. Everything I've done is based on
• 50:44
  Speaker 9: state numbers or county numbers.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Tell us what that average is. How do you expect
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: the community of Canfield that is penalized... It is penalized
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: because of its prosperity, if you will, in a city
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: of Canfield by the state saying, you have to pay
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: more for, even though you pay state taxes, you don't
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: get anywhere close to the amount of state money back
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: that other schools get because you're a more prosperous community.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: So not only do you pay your state taxes, we
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: also want to tax you a lot locally because Because
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: we're not going to give you as much as we
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: give other places for your school system. We want to
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: tax you more locally. And you've got some of the
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: highest property taxes now. I mean, let me just digest that.
• 51:35
  Speaker 9: No, it's absolutely awful. Because you're contributing. Because Canfield has
• 51:39
  Speaker 9: also the highest average household income. So those people are
• 51:44
  Speaker 9: already kicking in a heck of a lot more in
• 51:46
  Speaker 9: income tax.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but just think about what she just said, folks.
• 51:52
  Speaker 8: So.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: We all pay state taxes. So the state gives Canfield
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: the least amount of money because it's a prosperous community.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: So they give them the least amount of money. So
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: they take their state taxes and put them in some
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: other school. So they're getting the least amount of state taxes.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: And they tell the folks, well, you've got to pay
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: even more taxes locally for your schools because we're not
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: giving you nearly as much as we give other school districts.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, think of that.
• 52:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 52:25
  Speaker 9: I know. It makes you crazy.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: That's enough to want to.
• 52:28
  Speaker 9: It makes you crazy.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: I don't live in Canfield, but I think I'd want
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: to move.
• 52:33
  Speaker 9: Imagine living in Boardman. I mean, Boardman is burdened. Boardman
• 52:40
  Speaker 9: is burdened, and they don't have the money. They simply
• 52:44
  Speaker 9: don't have it. Their population simply doesn't have it. So
• 52:49
  Speaker 9: what is Boardman to do when they want to cry
• 52:51
  Speaker 9: and strike? I really don't understand how you strike. And
• 52:56
  Speaker 9: I'll tell you another problem is this retire-rehire that keeps
• 52:59
  Speaker 9: putting more pressure on their pension fund. Okay, because nobody
• 53:04
  Speaker 9: anticipated these teachers coming back. And I understand they can
• 53:07
  Speaker 9: hire them back as starting wage, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 53:10
  Speaker 9: You're paying them double. We need, you know, YSU pumps
• 53:15
  Speaker 9: out a couple hundred teachers a year. If these teachers
• 53:19
  Speaker 9: hate their jobs so bad, go work somewhere else. If
• 53:23
  Speaker 9: you don't think that that's fair at $ 100, 000 run rate,
• 53:27
  Speaker 9: I would love, because you know that the reason why
• 53:29
  Speaker 9: their average salary is 70 and 75,000 is because they've
• 53:32
  Speaker 9: got some people in there who've been teaching for 80
• 53:34
  Speaker 9: years who need to retire. Let's be honest, because we've
• 53:37
  Speaker 9: all been in a classroom where you've seen it. And
• 53:41
  Speaker 9: I don't even know at YSU I've seen it. They belong,
• 53:44
  Speaker 9: they need to retire. It's time. Because I'd be fried
• 53:47
  Speaker 9: after teaching for that long, to be quite honest, because
• 53:49
  Speaker 9: these kids, you know, some of these kids will make
• 53:51
  Speaker 9: you crazy. I would be crazy.
• 53:52
  Speaker 7: I'm going to teach these kids.
• 53:54
  Speaker 9: But the bright and shiny new graduates who come with
• 53:56
  Speaker 9: a fresh perspective, that are super eager, that... I'm all
• 54:01
  Speaker 9: for it. You want to get some of the cost out?
• 54:04
  Speaker 9: Bring these new kids in that are all graduating. There's
• 54:08
  Speaker 9: an excellent education school.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: I can tell by listening to Boss Lady. He's really
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I can hear
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: it coming right to the phone line.
• 54:15
  Speaker 9: I'm going to lose it because when they threaten the
• 54:17
  Speaker 9: strikes and then they threaten these monster levies or we're
• 54:20
  Speaker 9: going to cut your all of it. And they say
• 54:23
  Speaker 9: that they know the buzz.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: I don't care what the income is in Canfield. You
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: explain to me how you can say to people when
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: they got through with this gigantic reevaluation in the past,
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: and now we're going to get hit with another increase
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: in your– so you got hit with the last reevaluation.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: So we got the next reevaluation a mere three years
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: later where they tell you– where your taxes are going
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: to go up again without voting for anything. You're going
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: to be paying more in property taxes without voting for anything.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: And on top of that, we would like all of
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: you to go vote for almost a six mil levy,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: which is a huge levy, which would raise your taxes substantially.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: And by the way, we're going to put an MRDD
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: levy on too, of course. We don't have enough money
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: for MRDD, so that's going to be on there. And
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: it could be absolutely shocking if you live in Canfield
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: what could happen to your property taxes. And I do
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: mean shocking.
• 55:30
  Speaker 9: I sent you the data spreadsheet that came from the county,
• 55:33
  Speaker 9: and I think what you'll find is interesting is I
• 55:35
  Speaker 9: kept looking at Austintown, knowing that you live there. I
• 55:38
  Speaker 9: kept looking at Austintown, and honestly, Austintown, now I don't
• 55:42
  Speaker 9: know if they're a flower in the middle of a
• 55:44
  Speaker 9: manure pile, but their numbers actually made.
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: The most sense. And you take a look at.
• 55:51
  Speaker 7: It, tell me what you think when you get some time.
• 55:55
  Speaker 9: But their numbers actually looked awful.
• 55:58
  Speaker 7: The only thing that they had was they had a
• 55:59
  Speaker 7: pretty good.
• 56:01
  Speaker 9: Cash reserve or unreserved balance. But they looked nowhere near
• 56:10
  Speaker 9: as bad as.
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: Some.
• 56:14
  Speaker 9: And when you look at this and you see that
• 56:16
  Speaker 9: some schools have a couple hundred kids. So I started
• 56:19
  Speaker 9: looking at it as a date, as across the state,
• 56:22
  Speaker 9: because I want to look at what does this mean
• 56:24
  Speaker 9: across the state and how does this county compare to
• 56:26
  Speaker 9: the state averages? We still look bad. We look bad
• 56:29
  Speaker 9: compared to the state average.
• 56:30
  Speaker 7: But you have all these bottom 50 schools.
• 56:32
  Speaker 9: I'm analyzing right now to see how much it costs,
• 56:37
  Speaker 9: how much the cost is administrator to student.
• 56:41
  Speaker 7: And because every time that that happens, Ron.
• 56:44
  Speaker 9: I need people to understand this. When your administrator costs students,
• 56:49
  Speaker 9: per student is high, it's taking a higher percentage of
• 56:53
  Speaker 9: the overall money eligible to be spent on the kid.
• 56:57
  Speaker 9: So when you have small school districts with a couple
• 56:59
  Speaker 9: hundred kids, those schools are, those kids, you're spending less
• 57:04
  Speaker 9: on educating them and more on the people in charge.
• 57:08
  Speaker 9: And so they're getting robbed on top of it. It's
• 57:11
  Speaker 9: better to collapse and condense. It's better for the kid.
• 57:14
  Speaker 9: But no one cares what's better for the kid.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: I just sit back. I sit back and I just
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: think to myself, as I've said a million times, they
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: won't be happy until they have all of your money.
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: They seriously will not be happy until they have all
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: of your money. And it's the mentality going on. I mean,
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: it's just the mentality going on. You see it with
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: your commissioners. You see it with the general mentality around here.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: You've got to fight to get peanuts, crumbs thrown back
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: to you as opposed to the other way around. And
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: I wish I could tell you that I see it changing.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: I leave you with this, though. I wish I could
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: show this to all of you. The boss lady sent
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: me this, and it's very comical, where I'm holding a
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: gallon of my Milo's iced tea and a bottle of
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: bear aspirin.
• 58:18
  Speaker 9: Good, you have your aspirin today. I'm proud of you.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: In your pocket. She uses this AI image thing. It's
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: really kind of comical. And it's just funny. All right.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: I've had enough. I think either that came from you
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: or your husband, one of the two. I can't figure
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: out who sent that.
• 58:38
  Speaker 14: No, no, no.
• 58:38
  Speaker 8: It's me.
• 58:39
  Speaker 9: That's my website. All right.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 58:41
  Speaker 7: I'll send you a direct link over there.
• 58:42
  Speaker 9: Because I pulled it down to have the data. I
• 58:45
  Speaker 9: had to manipulate the data.
• 58:46
  Speaker 14: To put it in your infograph.
• 58:48
  Speaker 6: But, yeah.
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 58:50
  Speaker 16: I don't know.
• 58:51
  Speaker 9: People need to wake up.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: There you go. Thank you, boss. Thanks. It's the boss lady.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: It's Radio 570. Dodie Kurian and Ron Verb. 3.52 in
• 58:59

• 59:03
  Speaker 1: lot of sense. Boy, I'm telling you. We are faced
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: with just more and more taxes. Who can afford it?
• 59:10
  Speaker 10: Ron verb on news radio 570 wkbn.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: All right uh heidi ho 335 in the afternoon so
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: listen if you live in canfield i get the boss
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: lady on the end of my line so let me
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: start from the top okay boss.
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: Lady let's go.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: Settle down beavis All right. See, that's why they call
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: her boss lady. She's like very demanding. Let's go. The
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: Canfield School Board voted Wednesday to place a 5.9 mil
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: operating levy on a November ballot, which is huge. And
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: keeping in mind, as I like to say, you just
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: got an additional reevaluation, so your taxes are going to
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: go up without voting for anything. And Thursday, the board
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: issued a news release stating the possible cuts if the
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: levy fails. In other words, we want you to know,
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: if you don't pass this, here's what we may do, okay?
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: What we may do. Let me bring it up here.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: Consolidation of administrative duties. Well, why shouldn't that be done now?
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 16: Exactly.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 7: They have plenty of them.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 9: Come on for it.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 21: Go.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: Elementary and middle school STEM programs. High school elective courses,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: including programs such as aviation and forensic. Advanced academic opportunities,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: including honors, AP and college credit plus.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 9: That's where they're going to get the parents. They're going
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 9: to get the parents all riled up with that. And
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 9: I don't blame them because it's not necessary.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going to address that if you just hang in there.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: CCP courses at the middle and high school level. Foreign
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: language programs, non-core courses such as art, music, family, and
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: consumer sciences. Home economics are requiring families to pay additional
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: participation fees. School-sponsored field trips. In addition, a board may
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: decide to review pay-to-participate fees for athletics and extracurriculars. State
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: minimum transportation, including busing for students. In grades 9 through
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: 12 and those living within two miles of the school.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: Reconfiguring of elementary buildings. This levy is about maintaining the
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: educational opportunities our students receive today, said the superintendent, Joe Knoll.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: Like many school districts across Ohio, Canfield is facing increasing
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: operating costs while state funding has failed to keep pace.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: Without additional revenue, we will be forced to make difficult
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: decisions that will significantly impact our students and schools. He
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't say anything there about the significant impact and choices that–
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: The people who might have to pay an additional 5.9
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: mil levy would be faced to pay. And so somebody
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: who sent me that said, this is total BS. Pass
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: it or we'll destroy your school system. Also, they have
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: zero ability to eliminate college credit plus. It is mandated
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: by the state of Ohio, and they are required to
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: offer it to their students since it's funded by state,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: not local dollars.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 9: Well, I'm going to tell you where canceled excels. Here's
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 9: where canceled excels. They excel in three areas. They have
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 9: the highest teacher wages in the county at an average
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 9: of $ 75, 000. They have the highest unreserved cash fund. They're
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 9: sitting on 60%. It's 60%.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 7: It's the highest in the county.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 9: And their residents have the highest tax burden in this
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 9: county at 63%. And they went out there and they
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 9: wanted to get all choppy fee about a measly $ 100
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 9: to $ 150 homeowner occupancy credit. So now they want to
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 9: fearmonger everybody. They have a huge, enormous cash fund, just
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 9: like Bourbon does. Bourbon has a nice, healthy cash fund.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 7: And the more I was researching.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 9: And I went to the state site, it looked like
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 9: the state was saying no less than 20%. So 20%
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 9: was a good unreserved cash fund, meaning you had months
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 9: of operating expenses at your leisure. No, these guys want
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 9: to build these big, huge rainy day funds, and then
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 9: they don't want to use them. And you want to
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 9: cut teachers. Now, if your ratios are off, cut the teachers.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 14: I'm all for cutting.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 9: The administrative costs because they've got certainly a lot of
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 9: those as well.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 7: This is out of control.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 9: It's completely out of control.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: This is a point you're trying to make. I mean,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: so you're saying, say that again to me, Canfield has
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: what tax percentage?
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 9: Highest teacher wages, an average $ 75, 000, the highest unreserved cash fund.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 9: At 60% and the highest taxpayer burden for homeowners at 63%.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 9: That's where they excel in this county.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: So they have the highest tax burden for homeowners.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: And they want them to pass a 5.8 mil levy.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 9: Yep, they do. Yep, they do. And that guy went
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 9: in there and cried over a measly hundred dollars.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 7: You better not even blame it.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 9: If he has issues, don't dare. They have 15 and
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 9: a half FTE of administrators in Canfield.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, shouldn't it? Don't you think? Gee, boy, times
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: are tough. Maybe we look at. consolidating duties and making
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: some changes to be able to operate on the budget
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: that we have, God forbid?
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 9: They have to. And then you want to hear the
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 9: worst thing, the grossest thing that I've ever heard in
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 9: my life? That superintendent down at Youngstown makes $ 160, 000 a year.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 9: He's got the worst performance. And you know what he
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 9: does that is even worse and more disgusting than that?
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 9: The teachers are the second lowest paid in the county.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 9: So we've got the teachers. He's paying the lowest in
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 9: the county while he makes the most in the county.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 9: And by a large amount, he makes the most in
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 9: the county.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: This is the Youngstown City Schools.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 9: And Campbell should wrap it up tomorrow. Campbell should fold tomorrow,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 9: pack it up, go.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 7: Move into Struthers or let's go somewhere else.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 9: Because their operating efficiency is awful. They are spending a
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 9: ton of money on students. Their teachers are the lowest
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 9: paid in the county. And their superintendent is one of
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 9: the highest. He's like top two.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 14: In the county.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 7: And they get all their money from the state pretty much.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 9: And so does Youngstown. It needs to stop. It is
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 9: so backwards. How do you get $ 160, 000 a year for
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 9: failing every single year? Because you can't do that in
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 9: the private sector. So where can I get a job
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 9: that every single day I can come in and fail
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 9: every day and make $ 160, 000? I just would love to know.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 9: Can someone tell me.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 15: Where to go?
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: Let me think about it. Hey, you need to get
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: your own radio call-in show. I got an idea.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: But you can't fail. No, you're winning.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: You're winning.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 9: You're helping us. Because it's egregious. And what really made
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 9: me mad was the audacity that Canfield then came out
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 9: with this. And Boardman wants to threaten to strike. And
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 9: that community has... First of all, they're the economic engine
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 9: of the entire county. They're generating all the money.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: It's hard for me to imagine.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: And you keep burdening them and burdening them.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: You're telling me, though, the average income in Boardman is
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: $ 40, 000 a year, roughly?
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 14: I'm going to.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 9: You know, I second guessed it myself and I've triple
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 9: checked it a thousand times. This came from the, these
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 9: are 2024 data points because 2000, I wanted to say that.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 9: So I'm glad you reminded me. 2025 has not come
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 9: out yet. So number one, this is 2024 data. That's
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 9: all I have. And number two, this came straight from
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 9: the county. So this was, if they made an error,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 9: then that's on them and somebody called them. But I
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 9: will send you the exact document that I pulled down
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 9: from the county. I used their document and then paired
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 9: it with other things that came straight from the state.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 9: I didn't create it. I didn't even do the math.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 9: I created documents. Everything I've done is based on state
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 9: numbers or county numbers.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: How do you expect the community of Canfield? that is penalized.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: It is penalized because of its prosperity, if you will,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: in the city of Canfield by the state saying, you
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: have to pay more for, even though you pay state taxes,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: you don't get anywhere close to the amount of state
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: money back that other schools get because you're a more
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: prosperous community. So not only do you pay your state taxes,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: we also want to tax you a lot locally Because
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: we're not going to give you as much as we
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: give other places for your school system. We want to
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: tax you more locally. And you've got some of the
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: highest property taxes now. I mean, let me just digest that.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 9: No, it's absolutely awful. Because you're contributing. Because Canfield has
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 9: also the highest average household income. So those people are
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 9: already kicking in a heck of a lot more in
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 9: income tax.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but just think about what she just said, folks.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 17: So.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: We all pay state taxes. So the state gives Canfield
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: the least amount of money because it's a prosperous community.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: So they give them the least amount of money. So
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: they take their state taxes and put them in some
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: other school. So they're getting the least amount of state taxes.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: And they tell the folks, well, you got to pay
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: even more taxes locally for your schools because we're not
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: giving you nearly as much as we give other school districts.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, think of that.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 20: I know.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 9: It makes you crazy.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: That's enough to want to.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 7: It makes you crazy.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: I don't live in Canfield, but I think I'd want
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: to move.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 9: Imagine living in Boardman. I mean, Boardman is burdened. Boardman
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 9: is burdened and they don't have the money. They simply
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 9: don't have it. Their population simply doesn't have it. So
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 9: what is Boardman to do when they want to cry
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 9: and strike? I really don't understand that. how you strike.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 9: And I'll tell you another problem is, is this retire,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 9: rehire that keeps putting more pressure on their pension fund. Okay,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 9: because nobody anticipated these teachers coming back. And I understand
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 9: they can hire them back as starting wage.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 9: You're paying them double. We need, you know, YSU pumps
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 9: out a couple hundred teachers a year.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 7: If these teachers.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 9: Hate their jobs so bad, go to the, go work
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 9: somewhere else. If you don't think that that's fair at
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 9: $ 100, 000 run rate, I would love, because you know that
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 9: the reason why their average salary is $ 70, 000 and $ 75, 000
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 9: is because they've got some people in there who've been
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 9: teaching for 80 years who need to retire. Let's be honest,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 9: because we've all been in a classroom where you've seen it.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 9: Because I don't even know at YSU I've seen it.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 9: They belong. They need to retire.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 16: It's time.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 9: Because I'd be fried after teaching for that long, to
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 9: be quite honest, because these kids... You know, some of
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 9: these kids will.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 7: Make you crazy. I would be crazy. I'm going to
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 7: teach these kids.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 9: But the bright and shiny new graduates who come with
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 9: a fresh perspective, that are super eager, that I'm all
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 9: for it. You want to get some of the cost out?
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 9: Bring these new kids in that.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 23: Are all graduating.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: I can tell by you.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 9: Well, in education school.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: I can tell by listening to Bossley. He's really on
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: the verge of a nervous breakdown. I can hear it
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: coming right to the phone line.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 9: I'm going to lose it because when they threaten the
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 9: strikes and then they threaten these monster levies or we're
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 9: going to cut, we're going to cut your all of it.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 9: And they say that they know the buzz.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: Well, how does that?
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 14: I don't care.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: I don't care what the income is in Canfield. You
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: explain to me. You explain to me how you can
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: say to people. When they got through with this gigantic
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: reevaluation in the past, and now we're going to get
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: hit with another increase in your– so you got hit
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: with the last reevaluation. So we got that next reevaluation
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: a mere three years later where they tell you– where
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: your taxes are going to go up again without voting
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: for anything. You're going to be paying more in property
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: taxes without voting for anything. And on top of that,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: we would like all of you to go vote for
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: almost a six mil levy, which is a huge levy,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: which would raise your taxes substantially. And by the way,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: we're going to put an MRDD levy on too, of course.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: We don't have enough money for MRDD, so that's going
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: to be on there. And it could be absolutely shocking
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: if you live in Canfield what could happen to your
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: property taxes. And I do mean shocking.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 9: I sent you the data spreadsheet that came from the county,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 9: and I think what you'll find is interesting is I
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 9: kept looking at Austintown, knowing that you live there. I
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 9: kept looking at Austintown, and honestly, Austintown, now I don't
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 9: know if they're a flower in the middle of a
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 9: manure pile, but their numbers actually made the most sense.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 9: And you take a look at it, tell me what
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 9: you think when you get some time. But their numbers
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 9: actually looked amazing.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 7: The only thing that they had, they had a pretty.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 9: Good cash reserve or unreserved balance. But they looked nowhere
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 9: near as bad as.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 12: Some.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 9: And when you look at this and you see that
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 9: some schools have a couple hundred kids. So I started
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 9: looking at it as a date, as across the state,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 9: because I want to look at what does this mean
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 9: across the state and how does this county compare to
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 9: the state averages? We still look bad. We look bad
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 9: compared to the state average. But you have all these
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 9: bottom 50 schools I'm analyzing right now to see how
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 9: much it costs, how much the cost is administrator to student.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 9: And because every time that that happens, Ron, I need
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 9: people to understand this. When your administrator costs students, per
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 9: student is high, it's taking a higher percentage of the
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 9: overall money eligible to be spent on the kid. So
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 9: when you have small school districts with a couple hundred kids,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 9: those schools, those kids, you're spending less on educating them
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 9: and more on the people in charge. And so they're
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 9: getting robbed on top of it. It's better to collapse
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 9: and condense. It's better for the kid. But no one
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 9: cares what's better.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 7: For the kid.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: I just sit back, I sit back and I just
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: think to myself, as I've said a million times, they
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: won't be happy till they have all of your money. They,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: they seriously will not be happy till they have to have,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: I have all of your money and it's, it's the
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: mentality going on. I mean, It's just the mentality going on.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: You see it with your commissioners. You see it with
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: the general mentality around here. You've got to fight to
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: get peanuts, crumbs thrown back to you as opposed to
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: the other way around. And I wish I could tell
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: you that I see it changing. I leave you with this, though.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: I wish I could show this to all of you.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: The boss lady sent me this, and it's very comical.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: where I'm holding a gallon of my Milo's iced tea
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: and a bottle of bear aspirin.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 9: Good, you have your aspirin today. I'm proud of you.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 9: In your pocket.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: She uses this AI image thing. It's really kind of comical.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: And it's just funny. All right. I've had enough. I
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: think either that came from you or your husband, one
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: of the two. I can't figure out who sent that.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 14: No, no, no.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 9: It's me.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 14: That's my website. All right.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 24: All right.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: I'll send you the direct.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 16: Link over there.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 9: Because I pulled it down to have the database. I
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 9: had to manipulate the data to put it in your infograph.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: But, yeah.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 9: People need to wake up.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: There you go. Thank you, boss. Thanks. It's the boss lady.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: News Radio 570, Dodie Curien and Ron Verb. 352 in
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: the afternoon. With you till 6 tonight. She makes a
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: lot of sense. Boy, I'm telling you, we are faced
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: with just more and more taxes. Who can afford it?
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: It is why I talk so often about it, folks.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: I say it again. They will not be happy until
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: they have all of your money. I do not live
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: in Canfield. I honestly feel sorry for folks who do.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: And I can't imagine if that... Remember, MRDD wants to
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: slap some levy on. It's a pretty significant levy, too.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: And then you got City of Canfield. I mean, if
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: one or both of those levies pass, it would just
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: be so eye-opening what that will do to your property
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: taxes on top of the re-evaluations. And I sincerely don't
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: know how people can afford it. I don't know how
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: people get afforded at the same time. I just got

  Speaker 1: my electric bill the other.

  Speaker 1: From ABC News, I'm Chuck Sievertson.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 26: It's over for the moment, the several days long preliminary
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 26: hearing for the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk, the
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 26: conservative activist. Prosecutors aim to show they have enough evidence
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 26: against Tyler Robinson to go to trial. ABC News legal
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 26: analyst Brian Buckmeyer.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 27: There's a lot of evidence being presented that you don't
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 27: necessarily need to prove their case at this threshold. Mainly,
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 27: I would talk about the video with Twig, Tyler Robbins'
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 27: romantic partner.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: We don't typically see.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 27: Those, but the prosecution is putting out a very strong case,
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 27: I think not just for the judge, but also for
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 27: the public to show what kind of evidence they have
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 27: against Tyler Robbins.
• 1:24:38

• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: six run for from the kingdom of moaning here this
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: afternoon and you're on the air hello.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 32: Iran i want to thank you for a forty years
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 32: of broadcasting and that last call with the boss lady
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 32: i thought was a clinic on why talk radio should
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 32: exist forever that the education you gave the community that
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 32: these public schools are not the solution they are the
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 32: poison pit that these children are trapped in that has
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 32: failure Generation after generation, and the best thing to do
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 32: is to vote it down, but yet most voters, they'll
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 32: tug at their heartstrings and they'll go in and they'll
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 32: vote for the levy. I think that Dave Thomas said
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 32: something like 80% of the time people go in and
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 32: vote for levies. People need to know that the compassionate
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 32: thing to do for the children in school and for
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 32: the young people trying to afford a home is vote
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 32: against these levies, let these schools go down, let failing
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 32: schools fail, and let something better come along, because continuing
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 32: to do the same thing is going to give us
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 32: the same result, which is strong teachers union, overpaid, too
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 32: many layers of administration, and just so much waste and
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 32: corruption in these schools that you're not helping anybody. So
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 32: I thank you and the boss lady for that. The
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 32: real reason for this call is... to see if you
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 32: heard about Bernie Marino partnering up with Elizabeth Warren to
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 32: increase taxes on Social Security.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: I would support increasing taxes on Social Security as far
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: as raising the limit on it, you mean?
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 32: Yeah, it would be that we would never get that
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 32: reduction after we hit that certain threshold. We're just going
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 32: to increase the size and scope and the amount of
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 32: taxes they're going to take.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: Let me back up with you a minute. I support this.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: You're talking about once you reach, and I forget what
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: that cap is, like $ 160, 000 or something. After that amount,
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: you're no longer taxed on Social Security. They don't take
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: it out anymore. I forget the exact amount. But if
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: you take that cap away, which I do believe they should,
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: you will fix the problems that Social Security has. Here's
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: my concern with it. I want you to hear this.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: I support Social Security, and when I was a young person,
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: I used to say, well, it's probably not going to
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: be around when you retire. Listen, it's around for me now,
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: and I want it to be around for my adult
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: children when they retire. And the one thing that I
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: am opposed to is changing the retirement age. I am
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: all for taking that cap off to economically stabilize Social
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: Security and not cut any of the benefits that are
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: paid out to retirees. I do not support, which I'm
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: worried about these people doing, changing the full retirement age
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: from 67 to 70. I do not support that. and
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: I don't support that, but I do support taking that
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: cap away, and I don't want to change the age
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: of Medicare, getting Medicare at 65, and I do not
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: want to change the retirement age and make it any older.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: How's that for an answer?
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 32: No, I think you've been clear on that over the years.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 32: I've heard you mention that several times. Here's my problem
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 32: with Bernie Marino. He could have partnered up with anybody.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 32: He chose Elizabeth Warren. There was multiple solutions and experiments
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 32: that could have been run first, like, let's go after
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 32: the fraud before we do anything. I think there's bipartisan support.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 32: Everybody agrees. Get the fraud out of the program before
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 32: you have to take more tax dollars. But it's odd
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 32: that he chose the worst possible solution, in my opinion,
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 32: with the worst possible person.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 23: In the Senate.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 32: And what he's kind of showing is that we've maybe
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 32: got another, I mean, what difference does it make if
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 32: it's Sherrod Brown or Bernie Marino if they're both coming
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 32: up with the same approach and same idea?
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, though. You should be able
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: to come up with the same solution and the same
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: idea just because you're Democrat or Republican. It shouldn't be different.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: Social Security is a vital part of this country, and
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: it has made the country a better thing. And I'm
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: just saying I have never belly ached when I paid
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: into it all the years. The money, the vast majority
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: of money I paid into it went out to current retirees.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: As I explain to people, there was never intended to
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: be a surplus in Social Security. That started under Ronald Reagan,
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: who did it because of the baby boomers moving through
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: the system all at once over that period of time.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: It was supposed to be a pay-as-you-go system. Now they're
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: talking that Social Security could have major economic problems in
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: seven to eight years. Medicare as well. These are productive
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: workers who paid into it, who earned this retirement. And
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: it's not very... much money on social security per month
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: i mean it's a it's a lot of people a
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: lot of people solely live on that money because they
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: didn't they didn't make enough to save or whatever so
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: that's all that they have so As much as I
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: bellyache and bitch about a lot of taxes, I go
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: back to say, I understand that I have to pay taxes.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: I want somebody plowing my street. I want a cop
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: to show up. I want a fire truck. I want
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: an ambulance. There are services that I got to pay for.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: I need an army and all this kind of stuff.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: So I get all of that. And I don't mind
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: the taxes I paid in the social security over the years.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: And I, I don't mind if you would have raised
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: the cap. I really think there shouldn't be a cap,
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, and people should pay into it. My
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: biggest concern, as you go on, and I know everything's
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: fraud and waste, and I'm not saying that you don't
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: look at that, but I don't think that's going to
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: solve the problem in Social Security, but the reality is
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: we as a country better be concerned about about what
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: my son was talking about today. And I don't want
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: to get into where a bunch of old people, no
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: offense to you, don't understand the dilemma of young people today.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: And I'm here to say, when I see all these
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: people supporting Democrat socialism, we better, instead of calling them
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: oddballs or weirdos, we better find out why so many
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: of those people are winning and so many people are
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: voting for them. And I go back to say, the
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: gap is getting too wide between the haves and the have-nots.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: And there is a serious issue when you see this
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: taking place that the country could have with stability and
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: where capitalism isn't– is benefiting too much at the top
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: and not enough in between in the bottom. So you
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: better be– you got to be concerned about that. Otherwise,
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: you see what's going on. People saying, we have people,
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: young people that are making a good buck. who can't
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: afford to buy a house, you're looking at astronomical costs
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: for rent, buying a house, buying a vehicle, surviving. And
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: I understand why they're pissed. As I said when I
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: started today, my son said when he heard Clay and
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: Buck say, we don't understand why young people aren't having
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: more children and all this kind of stuff. My son said,
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: these guys are so out of touch. It's become so
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: damn expensive to have children today. That's why productive young
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: people aren't having as many kids. They simply can't afford it.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: And he's 100% correct on that. So we better look
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: at what we're doing here before we start thinking the
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: answer to everything is the waste. No, the answer is, hey,
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: if you're at $ 250, 000, guess what? You're going to have
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: to pay in. If the guy making $ 100, 000 or $ 50, 000
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: pays all of his wages into Social Security, then you
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: at $ 200, 000 or $ 300, 000 should pay all of your wages
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: into it, too.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 32: Well, yeah, here's the counter that I would say is
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 32: that if you take a look, and I know you
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 32: probably know these numbers. You've been at this a long time,
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 32: and this won't be the first time you've heard this.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 32: The best way that I think we can help young
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 32: people is if we shrink the cost and size of government,
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 32: and I've heard you say that, and I'm in solid
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 32: agreement with you.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: But it ain't happening. It's only happening in Florida.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 32: And so we have an experiment in Florida that's working fantastically.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 32: And so why are the other 49 states sitting there
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 32: and not replicating that.
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 3: With the state of life?
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: And I agree. So how does that benefit the young
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: person today? See, my frustration becomes, that's great on paper,
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: everything you're saying. But it's not happening. I'm worried about,
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: I have to sit here and deal with issues today.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: I am concerned about property taxes affecting people right now.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: I'm concerned about these levies on the ballot coming up.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: I can't sit here with grandiose ideas that aren't happening
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: and might never happen or might take years to accomplish.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 16: I don't think.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 32: I don't think....
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: No, it is not. Not when it comes to Social Security.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about... I'm not talking to growing government.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about stabilizing Social Security so that young people
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: can retire at 67... And have Medicare and stabilizing the system.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. That is an earned benefit,
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: not a government handout. And I believe that if the
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: person making whatever, $ 100, 000 or $ 120, 000 or whatever, $ 50, 000 is
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: paying Social Security on all their income, then a person
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: making $ 300, 000 or $ 500, 000 should be paying on it all
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: of their income.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 23: What if we let young people opt out of it
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 23: and sign off and say.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, I don't support that at all.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 23: Because government knows better how to take care of them.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 32: Everybody had $ 2 million taken from them over Social Security
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 32: over their lifetime if you put it into a conservative fund.
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: That's not necessarily true. It is necessarily true.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 3: It's math.
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 1: It is not.
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 23: Do the math over your lifetime.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 32: Put that into like a 6%, 7%.
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 23: And it's $ 2 million.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 32: If every American has been stolen from them.
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: Well, I got news for you. Social Security. All right. Listen,
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: Social Security has worked and it continues to work.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 17: Really?
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 16: Yes.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 23: We just need more money and grow the size of it.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 32: Some higher taxes. You're a walking contradiction.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not.
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: Why was there a cap in the first place? There
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: never should have been a cap. And the cap hasn't
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: changed with inflation. So don't give me this.
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 23: It should have never existed.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: It came out of FDR's.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: Well, here you go again. It should never. How was
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: society before Social Security?
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 10: How were the elderly?
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: No, I'm asking you a question. How were they?
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 23: We didn't have government.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: Okay. Are you going to answer the question? Because I'm
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: going to answer it one time, and I don't want
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: to hear grandiose stuff. I want to deal with reality.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: How were the seniors in this society, what was their
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: lot in life before Social Security and Medicare existed? How
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: were they doing? How were they doing?
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 23: I'll say it again because it's the truth.
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 3: We didn't have a big government. Let's grow a big government,
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 3: be the family.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 23: Be the church, and take care of my mom and dad.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, then why didn't it work? Then if that was
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: the case, we would have never had Social Security. But
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: I will here tell you what you don't want to say.
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: Most of the elderly back then were destitute and didn't
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: have health care. That's a reality. No, no, no. That
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: is a reality. And your idea of, oh, the church
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: should do this and the church should do that, they
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: weren't doing it then.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 3: Prove that.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 14: It's a reality.
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 23: That's a big statement.
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 8: It's true.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, goodbye. I mean, it's just a total waste of time.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: You're on the air. Hello. You're on the air.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 7: Hey, Ron.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 12: Ron.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 3: I think that guardians did.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: Here on the air.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 24: Iran uh... democrat michigan governor gretchen whitmer yeah there was
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 24: a college student shot in the head and killed forty
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 24: years ago in michigan a young white guy with long
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 24: hair and nine witnesses testified under oath that they saw
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 24: him over four hundred and fifty miles away at the
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 24: time of the crime. The prosecution claimed he chartered a
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 24: private plane, flew 450 miles to Michigan, shot the guy,
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 24: and then flew 450 miles back, although there was no
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 24: flight logs or anything. His name is now Temujin Kintsu
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 24: because he converted to Buddhism. And activist Khalia Ali, daughter
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 24: of boxer Muhammad Ali, has joined the fight to release Kinsu.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 24: He's been in prison 40 years. Many advocates for justice,
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 24: private organizations, have been working for years to have Kinsu freed.
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 24: And Kinsu had also passed a state-administered polygraph test. And
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 24: Whitmer's own father, who is now deceased, And people on
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 24: her staff continue lobbying Whitmer to release Kensu. And journalists
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 24: and advocates that visit Kensu in prison are treated like
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 24: scum by the prison guards and staff. And obviously the
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 24: father of the college student who was shot is fine
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 24: with the real killer going unpunished. While we have an
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 24: innocent man who will be mistreated for life, We don't
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 24: have a justice system. We have a legal system. We
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 24: have an injustice system for the weak and poor, and
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 24: we have a stay-out-of-jail-free system for the rich and powerful.
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 24: And Whitmer has a prior history of working in the
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 24: law profession. She should know better than all of us
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 24: what tainted evidence is.
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 1: I confess I know absolutely nothing about this case.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 24: Well, that's why I called, because if there's anybody listening.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: Stand by, Frank. Stand by, Frank. Back in a minute,
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 1: Fort Lauderdale, Frank and more. Straight ahead, NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 10: On NewsRadio 570 WKBN. Well, the sun is shining.
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: We had a little brief rain in some of our
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: areas and some more severe in other portions of it.
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: It's 4.07 in the afternoon. It's 77 degrees on this Friday,
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: July 10th, 2026. Ron Verb from the Kingdom of Mahoning here.
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: this afternoon and you're on the air hello.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 32: Iran i want to thank you for forty years of
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 32: broadcasting and that last call with the box lady i
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 32: thought was a clinic on why talk radio should exist
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 32: forever that the education you gave the community that these
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 32: public schools are not the solution they are the poison
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 32: pet that these children are trapped and that has failure
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 32: generation after generation And the best thing to do is
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 32: to vote it down.
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 3: But yet most voters, they'll.
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 32: Tug at their heartstrings and they'll go in and they'll
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 32: vote for the levy. I think that Dave Thomas said
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 32: something like 80% of the time people go in and
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 32: vote for levies. People need to know that the compassionate
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 32: thing to do for the children in school and for
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 32: the young people trying to afford a home is vote
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 32: against these levies, let these schools go down, let failing
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 32: schools fail. and let something better come along, because continuing
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 32: to do the same thing is going to give us
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 32: the same result, which is strong teachers union, overpaid, too
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 32: many layers of administration, and just so much waste and
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 32: corruption in these schools that you're not helping anybody. So
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 32: I thank you and the boss lady for that. The
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 32: real reason for this call is to see if you
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 32: heard about Bernie Marino partnering up with Elizabeth Warren to
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 32: increase taxes on Social Security.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: I would support increasing taxes on Social Security as far
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: as raising the limit on it, you mean?
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 32: Yeah, it would be that we would never get that
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 32: reduction after we hit that certain threshold. We're just going
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 32: to increase the size and scope and the amount of
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 32: taxes they're going to take.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: Let me back up with you a minute. I support this.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: You're talking about once you reach, and I forget what
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 1: that cap is, like $ 160, 000 or something. After that amount,
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: you're no longer taxed on Social Security. They don't take
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: it out anymore. I forget the exact amount. But if
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 1: you take that cap away, which I do believe they should,
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 1: you will fix the problems that Social Security has. Here's
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: my concern with it. I want you to hear this.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: I support Social Security. And when I was a young person,
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 1: I used to say, well, it's probably not going to
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: be around when you retire. Listen, it's around for me now.
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 1: And I want it to be around for my adult
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: children when they retire. And the one thing that I
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: am opposed to... is changing the retirement age. I am
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: all for taking that cap off to economically stabilize Social
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 1: Security and not cut any of the benefits that are
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 1: paid out to retirees. I do not support, which I'm
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: worried about these people doing, changing the full retirement age
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: from 67 to 70. I do not support that. And
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: I don't support that. But I do support taking that
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: cap away. And I don't want to change the age
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: of Medicare, getting Medicare at 65. And I do not
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: want to change the retirement age and make it any older.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: How's that for an answer?
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 32: No, I think you've been clear on that over the years.
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 32: I've heard you mention that several times. Here's my problem
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 32: with Bernie Marino. He could have partnered up with anybody.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 32: He chose Elizabeth Warren. There was multiple solutions and experiments
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 32: that could have been run first, like, let's go after
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 32: the fraud before we do anything. I think there's bipartisan support.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 32: Everybody agrees. Get the fraud out of the program before
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 32: you have to take more tax dollars. But it's odd
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 32: that he chose the worst possible solution, in my opinion,
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 32: with the worst possible person in the Senate... And what
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 32: he's kind of showing is that we've maybe got another,
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 32: I mean, what difference does it make if it's Sherrod
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 32: Brown or Bernie Marino if they're both coming up with
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 32: the same approach and same idea?
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, though. You should be able
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: to come up with the same solution and the same
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: idea just because you're Democrat or Republican. It shouldn't be different.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: Social Security is a vital part of this country and
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: it has made the country a better thing. And I'm
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: just saying I have never belly ached when I paid
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: into it all the years. The money, the vast majority
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: of money I paid into it went out to current retirees.
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 1: As I explain to people, there was never intended to
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: be a surplus in Social Security. That started under Ronald Reagan,
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: who did it because of the baby boomers moving through
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: the system all at once over that period of time.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: It was supposed to be a pay-as-you-go system. Now, they're
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: talking that Social Security could have major economic problems in
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 1: seven to eight years. Medicare as well.
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 8: These are.
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: Productive workers who paid into it, who earned this retirement.
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: And it's not very much money on Social Security per month.
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a lot of people. A lot of
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: people solely live on that money because they didn't make
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 1: enough to save or whatever. So that's all that they have.
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: As much as I bellyache and bitch about a lot
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 1: of taxes, I go back to say, I understand that
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: I have to pay taxes. I want somebody plowing my street.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: I want a cop to show up. I want a
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: fire truck. I want an ambulance. There are services that
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: I got to pay for. I need an army and
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff. So I get all of that.
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: And I don't mind the taxes I paid in the
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: Social Security over the years. And I don't mind if
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 1: you would have raised the cap. I really think there
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be a cap, in my opinion, and people should
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 1: pay into it. My biggest concern as you go on,
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: and I know everything's fraud and waste, and I'm not
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 1: saying that you don't look at that, but I don't
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 1: think that's going to solve the problem in Social Security.
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: But the reality is we as a country better be
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: concerned about about what my son was talking about today,
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: and I don't want to get into where a bunch
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 1: of old people, no offense to you, don't understand the
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: dilemma of young people today. And I'm here to say
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: when I see all these people supporting Democrat socialism, we better,
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: instead of calling them oddballs or weirdos, we better find
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: out why so many of those people are winning and
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: so many people are voting for them. And I go
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: back to say the gap is getting too wide between
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: the haves and the have-nots. And there is a serious
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 1: issue when you see this taking place that the country
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: could have with stability and where capitalism isn't– benefiting too
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 1: much at the top and not enough in between in
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: the bottom. So you got to be concerned about that. Otherwise,
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: you see what's going on. People saying, we have people,
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 1: young people that are making a good buck who can't
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 1: afford to buy a house. You're looking at astronomical costs
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: for rent, buying a house, buying a vehicle, surviving. And
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: I understand why they're pissed. As I said when I
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: started today, my son said when he heard Clay and
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 1: Buck say, we don't understand why young people aren't having
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 1: more children and all this kind of stuff. My son said,
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: these guys are so out of touch. It's become so
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: damn expensive to have children today. That's why productive young
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 1: people aren't having as many kids. They simply can't afford it.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: And he's 100% correct on that. So we better look
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: at what we're doing here before we start thinking the
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 1: answer to everything is the waste. No, the answer is, hey,
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: if you're at $ 250, 000, guess what? You're going to have
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 1: to pay in. If the guy making $ 100, 000 or $ 50, 000
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: pays all of his wages into Social Security, then you
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 1: at $ 200, 000 or $ 300, 000 should pay all of your wages
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: into it, too.
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 32: Well, yeah, here's the counter that I would say is
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 32: that if you take a look, and I know you
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 32: probably know these numbers. You've been at this a long time,
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 32: and this won't be the first time you've heard this.
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 32: The best way that I think we can help young
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 32: people is if we shrink the cost and size of government,
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 32: and I've heard you say that, and I'm in solid
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 32: agreement with you.
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: But it ain't happening. It's only happening in Florida.
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 23: Correct.
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 32: And so we have an experiment in Florida that's working fantastically.
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 32: And so why are the other 49 states sitting there
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 32: and not replicating that.
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: With the state of life? And I agree. So how
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 1: does that benefit the young person today? See, my frustration becomes,
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: that's great on paper, everything you're saying. But it's not happening.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: I'm worried about I have to sit here and deal
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 1: with issues today. I am concerned about property taxes affecting
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 1: people right now. I'm concerned about these levies on the
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: ballot coming up. I can't sit here with grandiose ideas
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: that aren't happening and might never happen or might take
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: years to accomplish. I don't think I don't think I
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 1: don't think the.
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 32: Size of government and raise taxes and more communism is
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 32: going to make more like the young people wealthier.
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: No, it is not. Not when it comes to Social Security.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about. I'm not talking to grown government.
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about stabilizing Social Security so that young people
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 1: can retire at 67% and have Medicare and stabilizing the system.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. That is an earned benefit,
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 1: not a government handout. And I believe that if the
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 1: person making whatever, $ 100, 000 or $ 120, 000 or whatever, $ 50, 000 is
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 1: paying Social Security on all their income, then a person
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 1: making $ 300, 000 or $ 500, 000 should be paying on it all
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 1: of their income.
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 3: What if we let young people opt out of it
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 3: and sign off and say.
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, I don't support that at all.
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 32: Because government knows better how to take care of them.
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 32: Everybody had $ 2 million taken from them over Social Security
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 32: over their lifetime if you put it into a conservative fund.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: That's not necessarily true. It is necessarily true.
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 3: It's math.
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: It is not.
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 23: Do the math over your lifetime.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 32: Put that into like a 6%, 7%.
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 23: And it's $ 2 million if every American has been stolen
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 23: from them. Well, I got news for you.
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 1: Social Security. All right. Listen, Social Security has worked and
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 1: it continues to work.
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 16: Yes.
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 3: But it's failing.
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 23: We just need more money and grow the size of it.
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 23: Some higher taxes.
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 32: You're a walking contradiction.
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not. Why was there a cap in the
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: first place? There never should have been a cap. And
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 1: the cap hasn't changed with inflation. It should have never existed. Okay, well,
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: here you go again. How was society before Social Security?
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: How were the elderly? No, I'm asking you a question. Okay,
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: are you going to answer the question? Because I'm going
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: to answer it one time, and I don't want to
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 1: hear grandiose stuff. I want to deal with reality. How
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 1: were the seniors in this society, what was their lot
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 1: in life before Social Security and Medicare existed? How were
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 1: they doing?
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 10: How are they doing?
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 14: Churches.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 23: I'll say it again because it's the truth.
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 3: We didn't have a big government.
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 23: Let's grow a big government, be the family, be the church,
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 23: and take care of my mom and dad.
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, then why didn't it work? Then if that was
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 1: the case, we would have never had Social Security. But
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 1: I will here tell you what you don't want to say.
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 1: Most of the elderly back then were destitute and didn't
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: have health care.
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 10: That's the reality.
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. That is the reality. And your idea of, oh,
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 1: the church should do this and the church should do that,
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 1: they weren't doing it then.
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 3: Prove that.
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 1: It's a reality.
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 23: That's a big statement.
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 6: It's true.
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 23: Okay, goodbye.
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a total waste of time. You're
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 1: on the air.
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 6: Hello. You're on the air.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 23: Hey, Ron.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: Ron.
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 3: I think the Guardians did.
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 1: You're on the air.
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 24: Hey, Ron. Democrat Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 24: There was a college student shot in the head and
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 24: killed 40 years ago in Michigan.
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 24: A young white guy with long hair. And nine witnesses
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 24: testified under oath that they saw him over 450 miles
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 24: away at the time of the crime. The prosecution claimed
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 24: he chartered a private plane, flew 450 miles to Michigan,
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 24: shot the guy, and then flew 450 miles back, although
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 24: there was no flight logs or anything. His name is
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 24: now Temujin Kintsu because he converted to Buddhism. And activist
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 24: Khalia Ali, daughter of boxer Muhammad Ali, has joined the
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 24: fight to release Kinsu. He's been in prison 40 years.
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 24: Many advocates for justice, private organization, have been working for
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 24: years to have Kinsu freed. And Kinsu had also passed
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 24: a state-administered polygraph test. And Whitmer's own father, who is
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 24: now deceased, And people on her staff continue lobbying Whitmer
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 24: to release Kensu. And journalists and advocates that visit Kensu
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 24: in prison are treated like scum by the prison guards
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 24: and staff. And obviously the father of the college student
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 24: who was shot is fine with the real killer going unpunished. Well,
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 24: we have an innocent man who will be mistreated for life.
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 24: We don't have a justice system. We have a legal system.
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 24: We have an injustice system for the weak and poor,
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 24: and we have a stay-out-of-jail-free system for the rich and powerful.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 24: And Whitmer has a prior history of working in the
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 24: law profession. She should know better than all of us
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 24: what tainted evidence is.
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 1: I confess I know absolutely nothing about this case.
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 24: Well, that's why I called, because if there's anybody.
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: Stand by. Stand by, Frank. Stand by, Frank. Back in
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 1: a minute, Fort Lauderdale, Frank, and more. Straight ahead, NewsRadio 570, WKBN.
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 1: All right, let me bounce some stuff off of you,
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 1: Fort Lauderdale, Frank.
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 3: Are you ready? Yes, sir.
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: I'm looking for Frank. Hang on, okay? Hang on.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 20: Yep.
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 1: Yep. What's your comment before I go back to Frank?
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 20: My comment real quick is, man, if you study the
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 20: Russian Revolution, all this stuff, the certain factions, the socialistic
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 20: people were in the same situation.
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 3: And then the.
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 20: People who were kind of where we're at as conservatives
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 20: but were getting manipulated and abused, they wanted to stay
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 20: with it but just get rid of the corruption. They
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 20: didn't want to change the government.
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 3: Well, they lost.
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 20: And if we don't mind what you were talking about
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 20: earlier and mind these kids and what's going on, what
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 20: they're talking about, we're going to be in trouble.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Absolutely. Revolutions are fought on hungry bellies. Thank you.
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Frank, are you there?
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going to pick your brain for a second.
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 24: Make it fast because I'd also like to talk about
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 24: the economy.
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what I'm going to talk about with you.
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 28: Okay.
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 1: So it's worth it. Like, when I was talking to
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 1: that guy, and that guy thinks he's on the same page,
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 1: instead of name-calling the younger people that are voting for
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 1: these Democrat socialists, I honestly think we better take a
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 1: serious look at why they're voting that way, is what
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, and how everything has become so expensive, even
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 1: on a decent income, they're not able to make it
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 1: in America, in the United States these days, and... We
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 1: better start looking at that issue because everything's gotten so
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 1: damn expensive. Houses, cars, car repairs, food, rents, everything. Insurance,
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 1: medical bills. It's hard for people of middle class means
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 1: to survive or lower class. First, do you understand that
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 1: or do you agree with that?
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 24: analyzing real estate stocks the other day. And a recent
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 24: report by realtor.com says nearly one-third employed young adults are
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 24: now living with their parents. These are people with jobs,
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 24: but the cost of living prevents them from getting married
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 24: and or establishing their own households. Now, having a job
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 24: has diminishing value, if you're condemned to work without being
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 24: able to save for your entire life.
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 1: See, now you just gave a great statistic. So we're
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 1: making it difficult for young people to get on with
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 1: their life, and we're seeing the age of getting married
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 1: becoming later in life. Or in homeownership, just a couple
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 1: of things to bounce off. Now, Frank's making sense here.
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 1: Homeownership is at a higher age than it's ever been.
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 1: Marriage is at a higher age than it's ever been.
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 1: We're looking at first-time homebuyers at an average age of 40.
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, think about that.
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 24: Yeah, that's because, Ron, home prices are now vastly outpacing wages.
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 1: But pause for a second. But isn't everything, cars, medical bills,
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 1: everything is outlandish. So my question to you is.
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 1: I'm just shaking my head, folks.
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 24: You made a good point. Property taxes continue climbing even
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 24: if your home is paid off. High mortgage rates make
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 24: home ownership unaffordable for most. And home ownership was once
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 24: the gateway and foundation of the middle class. But this
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 24: is happening in all Western countries. And U.S. wealth proportions
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 24: have been stagnant since 2007 and is not particularly great
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 24: in the U.S., and wealth inequality is not rising. For example,
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 24: the top 1% hold 22% of the wealth in this
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 24: figure has been unchanged since 2007. U.S. wealth inequality is
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 24: actually much lower today than it has been for most
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 24: of our history. In fact, now the reason we have
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 24: economic stagnation and wages are not rising in real terms,
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 24: that means wages are not rising faster than inflation, and
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 24: the reason is we are not building anything. A significant
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 24: amount of the boomers' generation wealth is their primary residence. Now,
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 24: some own rental properties as well. And historically, real estate
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 24: is a hedge against inflation, but it is illiquid in
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 24: the higher home prices increase, the fewer people can afford
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 24: to buy them when you have stagnated wages. And, you know, Ron.
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 8: Stand by.
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 1: Stand by. Listen, that's all well and good. Stand by.
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 1: I'll be right back. All right. Let me bounce some
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 1: stuff off of you, Fort Lauderdale. Frank, are you ready?
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 1: I'm looking for Frank. Hang on, okay? Hang on.
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 14: Yep.
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 20: Yep.
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 1: What's your comment before I go back to Frank?
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 20: My comment real quick is, man, if you study the
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 20: Russian Revolution— All this stuff, the certain factions, the socialistic
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 20: people were in the same situation. And then the people
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 20: who were kind of where we're at as conservatives but
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 20: were getting manipulated and abused, they wanted to stay with
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 20: it but just get rid of the corruption.
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 3: They didn't want to.
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 20: Change the government.
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 3: Well, they lost.
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 20: And if we don't mind what you were talking about
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 20: earlier and mind these kids and what's going on, what
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 20: they're talking about, we're going to be in trouble.
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 12: Absolutely.
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Revolutions are fought on hungry bellies. Thank you. Appreciate it. Frank,
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 1: are you there?
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 1: I'm going to pick your brain for a second.
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 32: All right.
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 24: Make it fast because I'd also like to talk about
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 24: the economy.
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what I'm going to talk about with you.
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 1: So say it worth it. Like when I was talking
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 1: to that guy, and that guy I think is on
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 1: the same page, instead of name-calling the younger people that
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 1: are voting for these Democrat socialists, I honestly think we
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 1: better take a serious look at why they're voting that
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: way is what I'm saying. And that how everything has
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 1: become so expensive, even on a decent income, they're not
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 1: able to make it in America, in the United States
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 1: these days. And we better start looking at that issue
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 1: because everything's gotten so damn expensive. Houses, cars, car repairs, food, rents, everything. Insurance,
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 1: medical bills, that it's... It's hard for people of middle
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 1: class means to survive, or lower class. First, do you
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 1: understand that, or do you agree with that?
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 24: Yeah, I agree. I was analyzing real estate stocks the
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 24: other day, and a recent report by Realtor.com says nearly
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 24: one-third employed young adults are now living with their parents.
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 24: These are people with jobs, but the cost of living
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 24: prevents them from getting married and or establishing their own households. Now,
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 24: having a job has diminishing value if you're condemned to
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 24: work without being able to save for your entire life.
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 1: See, now you just gave a great statistic. So we're
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 1: making it difficult for young people to get on with
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 1: their life, and we're seeing the age of getting married
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 1: becoming later in life. Or in homeownership, just a couple
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 1: of things to bounce off. Now, Frank's making sense here.
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 1: Homeownership is at a higher age than it's ever been.
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 1: Marriage is at a higher age than it's ever been.
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 1: We're looking at first-time homebuyers at an average age of
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 1: 40 years. I mean, think about that.
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 24: Yeah, that's because, Ron, home prices are now vastly outpacing wages.
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 1: But pause for a second. But isn't everything, cars, medical bills,
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 1: everything is outlandish. So my question to you.
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 3: Is.
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 1: I'm just shaking my head, folks. I.
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 14: You made a good point.
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 24: Property taxes continue climbing even if your home is paid off.
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 24: High mortgage rates make home ownership unaffordable for most. And
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 24: home ownership was once the gateway and foundation of the
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 24: middle class. But this is happening in all Western countries.
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 22: And U.S.
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 24: Wealth proportions have been stagnant since 2007. in this not
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 24: particularly great in the US in wealth inequality is not
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 24: rising for example the top 1 percent hold twenty-two percent
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 24: of the wealth in this figure has been unchanged since
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 24: 2007 US wealth inequality is actually much lower today than
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 24: it has been for most of our history in fact
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 24: arm now the reason we have economic stagnation in wages
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 24: are not rising in real terms. That means wages are
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 24: not rising faster than inflation. And the reason is we
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 24: are not building anything. A significant amount of the boomers'
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 24: generation wealth is their primary residence. Now, some own rental
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 24: properties as well. And historically, real estate is a hedge
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 24: against inflation, but it is illiquid in the higher home
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 24: prices increase the fewer people can afford to buy them
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 24: when you have stagnated wages. And, you know, Ron.
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 1: Stand by, stand by. Listen, that's all well and good.
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 1: Stand by. I'll be right back.

• 2:15:41
  Speaker 1: in the afternoon in Ron Ferb. So, Frank, here's the
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 1: point I'm trying to make with you, okay? When you
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 1: see the problem with young people today i'm going to
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 1: tell you some things are gonna people sit back and
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 1: say well that's why they're voting for democratic socialism because
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 1: the system isn't working for them like it did for
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 1: so many years for people and maybe that's why people
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 1: say maybe that's why they say maybe unions need to
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 1: make a comeback In many industries. For example, the other day,
• 2:16:18
  Speaker 1: was it Microsoft or Google? I forget which one of
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 1: the two. They cut 2,000 and something people, right? At
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 1: the same time, they're known for having... They just got
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 1: approved 4,000 and something H-1B visas. So they're going to
• 2:16:36
  Speaker 1: bring in these people from India that are able to
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 1: do the same type of computing work for substantially less wages...
• 2:16:43
  Speaker 1: And they get rid of like 2,500 Americans that were
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 1: in those jobs. Well, you don't think that that's going
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 1: to piss off people that are in those positions when
• 2:16:53
  Speaker 1: you dramatically destroy their lives in that fashion by saying, well,
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, I'm losing my job, but you're bringing
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 1: this guy from another country to pay him less. And
• 2:17:04
  Speaker 1: when you see this stuff happen or when you see
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 1: that gap grow between the haves and the have-nots, That
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 1: is really what created unions. Unions were created because people
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 1: went to work and they were abused or they were
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 1: the working poor. And you were probably around during a
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 1: lot of that. And that's what created unions to level
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 1: the playing field. And they've declined over the years. But
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 1: there might be a need for that to reemerge, that
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 1: movement to reemerge in this country as we see this
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 1: stuff taking place for the sake of our young citizens.
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 1: Your comment, please.
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 24: I agree, and that's why Dan Ryan used to say
• 2:17:43
  Speaker 24: that any company that gets a union probably deserves one.
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 3: That's a good point.
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 1: A good line, it really is.
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 24: Capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than any
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 24: other system. So why do so many young people want
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 24: to vote socialist? Well, you know, according to a recent
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 24: report by the Fed, the 7 million immigrants into the
• 2:18:13
  Speaker 24: United States, they bought homes and the demand for housing increased,
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 24: home prices increased, and rents increased. There are private economic
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 24: studies that say these numbers are much higher than the
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 24: Fed is reporting.
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 1: Well, pause for a second. I agree with all that,
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 1: with all the immigrants who were brought in. But I
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 1: would also.
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 1: I totally agree with that. I just lost my train
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 1: of thought with what you were saying with all the
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 1: people that the Fed brought in.
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 24: Well, let me say this. In 2019, companies like Oracle
• 2:18:53
  Speaker 24: and Hewlett-Packard announced they were leaving California for Austin, Texas,
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 24: to escape burdensome taxes and regulations. Builders in Austin saw
• 2:19:05
  Speaker 24: this as an opportunity and began building. anticipating increased demand.
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 24: And building prices began going down after that. Even today,
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 24: prices are down between 15% to 20% of their all-time high.
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 24: And building is still booming as more companies relocate to Austin. And, Ron,
• 2:19:28
  Speaker 24: there's still a 15,000 housing shortage because builders can't build
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 24: fast enough to keep up with the demand. And Roe
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 24: Connors said that we were promised to tax only billionaires,
• 2:19:43
  Speaker 24: but now we're going to tax millionaires as well. This
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 24: is the Democrats. Now, you give the government an inch,
• 2:19:50
  Speaker 24: and they'll take a mile. And I've said a million times,
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 24: if you eliminate government from the economy or at least
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 24: minimize its interference, we would have unprecedented economic prosperity the
• 2:20:04
  Speaker 24: likes of we've never seen.
• 2:20:07
  Speaker 1: I played the DeSantis clip the other day. I don't
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 1: know if you've heard it or not. I spent an
• 2:20:13
  Speaker 1: hour playing what he was talking about down there with
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 1: property taxes. And DeSantis said, if we can eliminate property
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 1: taxes totally for people that are homesteaded residents of Florida.
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 1: if we can eliminate them and that money stays in
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 1: their pockets, do you realize what effect that will have
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 1: on the economy from restaurants and stores and everything? Because
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 1: now all of a sudden people have their money to
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 1: spend on I mean, he has a philosophy of it's
• 2:20:41
  Speaker 1: your money to begin with, not the government's money. I mean,
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 1: his attitude is the attitude that the government gets your
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 1: money and you get crumbs is a bad attitude. Basically,
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 1: it's your money, you get the bulk of it, and
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 1: the government should get the crumbs. I mean, it is pretty...
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 1: As I sit back and look at the stuff that
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 1: he has done, when you say... He's spending less this
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 1: year than he did the year before, and he's spending
• 2:21:09
  Speaker 1: less the year before than he did the year before that.
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 1: The last four years, the government spending has decreased, not
• 2:21:16
  Speaker 1: adjusted for inflation, because they're just running more efficiently and things.
• 2:21:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's where government's got to go, is what
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 1: he's saying. That's what you've got to do.
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 24: Well, Ron, that's an excellent point, and let me expand
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 24: on that as well. Let's take the valuation of assets
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 24: such as homes. The cost of valuating assets alone requires
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 24: massive government bureaucracies that disagree on what the correct valuations are.
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 24: Now, after World War II.
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 1: That's just somebody's opinion. Well, you bought your house at this,
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 1: even though you're not selling it, we think it's now
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 1: worth this. So that's what we're going to tax you on.
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 1: And that is absolute bullcrap taxing you on unrealized gains.
• 2:21:59
  Speaker 22: Mm-hmm.
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 24: And after World War II, England elected socialist tax the
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 24: rich politicians and raised taxes on the rich to 95%.
• 2:22:10
  Speaker 24: And there was a mass exodus of British wealth creators
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 24: out of the country. John Lennon of the Beatles was
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 24: a famous example. Now, in the U.S., people could call
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 24: and say, Well, you know, there was a 90% tax
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 24: on the rich in the United States, but, Ron, few
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 24: people paid it because there were many ways to avoid it.
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 24: In Florida, we're seeing a mass exodus out of New York,
• 2:22:36
  Speaker 24: not just rich wealth creators, but plumbers and other working-class
• 2:22:41
  Speaker 24: people who see what's coming in their home state, such
• 2:22:45
  Speaker 24: as rent controls and large taxes and tax increases, whether
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 24: it's Republican or Democrat. soon Ron Verb and the worker
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 24: at McDonald's will be considered rich.
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 1: No, you are 100% correct, and it's interesting. I just hope,
• 2:23:03
  Speaker 1: I hope for my brother's sake and for your sake,
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 1: that the people that flee New York and go to
• 2:23:08
  Speaker 1: Florida don't bring that mentality and vote that same way
• 2:23:11
  Speaker 1: down there for the folks that will destroy Florida. I mean,
• 2:23:16
  Speaker 1: DeSantis is one of a kind. You're so lucky to
• 2:23:18
  Speaker 1: have him as governor. Term limits bother me when guys
• 2:23:22
  Speaker 1: like that get term limited out because I think they
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 1: are just very special. All right, Frank, I got to run.
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 1: I thank you for your time. Appreciate it. All right.
• 2:23:30
  Speaker 1: For Fort Lauderdale, Frank, it's just, he makes, it's interesting
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 1: to talk to him about the economy. I mean, I
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 1: know a lot of you are older and some of
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 1: you get it and some of you don't get it.
• 2:23:46
  Speaker 1: But so much is out of step with what younger
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 1: people are going through. And I think not only is
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 1: it out of step, I think local politicians are way
• 2:24:01
  Speaker 1: out of step with it. I think that what they
• 2:24:06
  Speaker 1: are doing for the future generations to be able to
• 2:24:09
  Speaker 1: afford a home and and have a middle-class lifestyle with
• 2:24:13
  Speaker 1: constant property tax increases and just pissing away government spending
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 1: on ridiculous things. People that are getting on the county
• 2:24:21
  Speaker 1: payroll and you're saying, why do we have that job?
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 1: What's the point of that? I mean, shouldn't we be
• 2:24:31
  Speaker 1: reviewing a lot of these jobs and eliminating a lot
• 2:24:33
  Speaker 1: of them that just are totally not necessary? Shouldn't our
• 2:24:36
  Speaker 1: goal be to shrink Mahoning County government size, shrink the
• 2:24:40
  Speaker 1: amount of money that's needed. But you don't see any
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 1: sign of that. But you do in Florida. I mean,
• 2:24:57
  Speaker 1: the difference is just so alarming. It's a mentality difference.
• 2:25:03
  Speaker 1: As DeSantis is saying, so this school district wants to
• 2:25:06
  Speaker 1: double its budget and it has way less students? How
• 2:25:10
  Speaker 1: does that make a lick of sense? You have less students,
• 2:25:12
  Speaker 1: but you want more money. And at some point, you've
• 2:25:20
  Speaker 1: got to start taking a look at this kind of stuff.
• 2:25:26
  Speaker 1: So I do think as time goes on, and I
• 2:25:29
  Speaker 1: will tell you this, I just think that as this
• 2:25:32
  Speaker 1: gap continues to grow between the haves and have-nots, I
• 2:25:36
  Speaker 1: don't want to see people go to work and become
• 2:25:38
  Speaker 1: the working poor. So you go to work and you
• 2:25:44
  Speaker 1: work and you can't achieve the American dream. And that
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 1: is what created labor unions in this country that created
• 2:25:53
  Speaker 1: the 40 hour work week that created the benefit packages,
• 2:25:55
  Speaker 1: paid vacation. You know, a lot of times we have
• 2:25:59
  Speaker 1: to remember a lot of this stuff that we take
• 2:26:01
  Speaker 1: for granted, whether you union or non-union didn't exist without unions.
• 2:26:05
  Speaker 1: And a lot of people fought long and hard for that.
• 2:26:09
  Speaker 1: But you had all the people at the top getting
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 1: all the money and the people in between getting screwed.
• 2:26:16
  Speaker 1: And I think that's what you're seeing with today's youth, youths.
• 2:26:20
  Speaker 1: As my cousin Vinnie said, that's what you're seeing with
• 2:26:22
  Speaker 1: today's youths. That they're saying, well, wait a minute. I'm
• 2:26:28
  Speaker 1: making this much money and it's not enough to really
• 2:26:31
  Speaker 1: achieve the American dream. And I'm working hard, but I'm poor.
• 2:26:36
  Speaker 1: Or You understand what I'm saying? So they go out
• 2:26:42
  Speaker 1: and vote for Democrat socialists who say, basically, follow me.
• 2:26:47
  Speaker 1: Here's my idea. We'll do it this way. Because they're
• 2:26:50
  Speaker 1: looking and saying, well, all this money is going to
• 2:26:53
  Speaker 1: the top. And not enough in between. And that's what
• 2:26:59
  Speaker 1: created unions. And I think that you'll see a reemergence
• 2:27:03
  Speaker 1: of them potentially coming back because they're necessary. Usually something
• 2:27:07
  Speaker 1: that was created that solved a problem, if the thing
• 2:27:14
  Speaker 1: that solved the problem goes away, the problem comes right back.
• 2:27:18
  Speaker 1: It doesn't just disappear. So we see unionism disappear for
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 1: the most part other than in the public sector, and
• 2:27:31
  Speaker 1: we're seeing more of the working poor. so that in turn,
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 1: I think you'll see unionism come back. And, uh, justifiably so.
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is very disturbing to me. And I'm
• 2:27:43
  Speaker 1: going to say it's meta, that organization that you're getting
• 2:27:49
  Speaker 1: rid of 2,500 of your own American workers and you're
• 2:27:52
  Speaker 1: bringing in a bunch of H-1B visa workers because they're cheaper. Well,
• 2:27:59
  Speaker 1: you don't. think that there's ramifications for that? It's something
• 2:28:07
  Speaker 1: to think about. It's like when I was talking to
• 2:28:10
  Speaker 1: that guy about Social Security and when I said to him,
• 2:28:14
  Speaker 1: take a look at the plight of old people before
• 2:28:19
  Speaker 1: Social Security and Medicare was around. There's a reason why
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 1: it was created and it solved that problem for the elderly.
• 2:28:28
  Speaker 1: And those people who think it should be eliminated, that
• 2:28:30
  Speaker 1: problem will come Right back. So some of these, you know,
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 1: these are earned benefits. They're not bad things. And I
• 2:28:42
  Speaker 1: do think that, you know, because of this gap with
• 2:28:45
  Speaker 1: the haves and have-nots and the guys at the top,
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 1: I think you'll see unions start to come back. As
• 2:28:51
  Speaker 1: you're seeing young people vote very, you know, to a
• 2:28:55
  Speaker 1: degree to some of this socialism, they're saying, well, this
• 2:28:57
  Speaker 1: system isn't working so good. So it's kind of like
• 2:29:06
  Speaker 1: doing it all over again, trying to level the playing field.
• 2:29:09
  Speaker 1: Revolutions are fought on hungry bellies. I want you to
• 2:29:12
  Speaker 1: work and be able to make a living and enjoy
• 2:29:13
  Speaker 1: some of the American dream. And that's becoming more and
• 2:29:16
  Speaker 1: more difficult. And what troubles me as well, I talk
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 1: about old people so much that they retire and their
• 2:29:22
  Speaker 1: savings doesn't go as far because of this inflation or
• 2:29:24
  Speaker 1: their Retirement nest egg, if they have one saved, doesn't
• 2:29:28
  Speaker 1: go as far because of the high cost of medical bills,
• 2:29:31
  Speaker 1: because of the high cost of car repairs or replacing
• 2:29:35
  Speaker 1: your furnace or air conditioning or replacing your roof and
• 2:29:37
  Speaker 1: doing all of this kind of stuff. Your money's been
• 2:29:40
  Speaker 1: devalued with this huge inflation and the tax burden. Oh,
• 2:29:44
  Speaker 1: you're going to tax even more on your house. So
• 2:29:46
  Speaker 1: these idiots, these local idiots... They continue to ask for
• 2:29:49
  Speaker 1: more taxes and think government should take more money. I
• 2:29:53
  Speaker 1: don't even know if they realize the harm they're doing
• 2:29:55
  Speaker 1: to senior citizens and to our younger people. And they
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 1: are part of the problem. They lip it. They give
• 2:30:01
  Speaker 1: you the lip service, but they don't follow through with
• 2:30:04
  Speaker 1: the actions. It's a damn shame. You're on the air.
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 3: How you doing, Roman?
• 2:30:09
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'm okay, Emmanuel.
• 2:30:11
  Speaker 3: You know, um.
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 13: I didn't call you to talk to you about this.
• 2:30:17
  Speaker 13: A couple things I want to talk to you, but
• 2:30:18
  Speaker 13: I've been listening, right? And there's something, real quick, there's
• 2:30:21
  Speaker 13: something I don't understand.
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 3: I get around a lot, and.
• 2:30:26
  Speaker 13: I talk to a lot of people that came back
• 2:30:30
  Speaker 13: that are up here from Florida, and they're telling me
• 2:30:33
  Speaker 13: that the rent and the housing and the insurance is
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 13: just out of whack, and it's getting too expensive to
• 2:30:38
  Speaker 13: stay in Florida.
• 2:30:40
  Speaker 1: Well, I can tell you that's not necessarily so. And
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 1: I think they did have some problems. And it depends.
• 2:30:47
  Speaker 1: Like anywhere, it depends where you go in Florida. I
• 2:30:48
  Speaker 1: can talk pretty good about Florida because of my brothers
• 2:30:52
  Speaker 1: and daughter. Actually, housing prices in Florida are declining. And
• 2:30:57
  Speaker 1: pretty substantially, they're going down, not up, which is a
• 2:31:03
  Speaker 1: good sign. So that's not true.
• 2:31:06
  Speaker 3: You're saying those guys are lying.
• 2:31:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 2:31:10
  Speaker 1: No, wait a minute. I want to finish addressing what
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 1: you said. Now, if you live right by the ocean,
• 2:31:19
  Speaker 1: you're going to pay high insurance premiums because the risk
• 2:31:22
  Speaker 1: is very high. So, I mean, if you want beachside
• 2:31:24
  Speaker 1: or oceanside property, there's a big risk with hurricanes and
• 2:31:27
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So you're going to pay dearly
• 2:31:29
  Speaker 1: for insurance there. But if you live in what we
• 2:31:32
  Speaker 1: would call middle-class neighborhoods in Florida, like my daughter lives
• 2:31:35
  Speaker 1: in central Florida and my brother lives– one lives– In Venice,
• 2:31:41
  Speaker 1: and the other one is out in the Keys. So
• 2:31:44
  Speaker 1: if you live in some of those areas, depends where
• 2:31:48
  Speaker 1: you live, your insurance is a lot less expensive. Just
• 2:31:51
  Speaker 1: like around here. But no, it's all good. I mean,
• 2:31:55
  Speaker 1: my daughter gets homestead exempted. It doesn't matter what her
• 2:31:58
  Speaker 1: age is or what her income is. And it's a
• 2:32:00
  Speaker 1: pretty substantial exemption and potentially stands... Good possibility not having
• 2:32:05
  Speaker 1: to pay property tax at all with DeSantis. It's a
• 2:32:08
  Speaker 1: step in the right direction. But what did you call about?
• 2:32:12
  Speaker 3: Two things.
• 2:32:14
  Speaker 13: The first thing is our strategic oil supply is down
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 13: to less than three weeks.
• 2:32:22
  Speaker 1: Is it three weeks?
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 3: Did you know that?
• 2:32:24
  Speaker 1: No, I did not know that.
• 2:32:26
  Speaker 13: Because we've been tapping it. Yeah, to bring the gas
• 2:32:30
  Speaker 13: prices down, right? And so some people say Iran knows that,
• 2:32:34
  Speaker 13: and so they're going to keep on messing around with
• 2:32:36
  Speaker 13: us until we hit to the point where it's not
• 2:32:40
  Speaker 13: functionally working anymore. You know, because we keep tapping it.
• 2:32:44
  Speaker 3: And I believe.
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 1: I have not heard that word of you here. It
• 2:32:47
  Speaker 1: was three weeks. Stand by for me, Emanuel. But we
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 1: have been tapping into it. There's no question about that.
• 2:32:53
  Speaker 1: Back with Emanuel and more. Ron Verb here tonight, still
• 2:32:55
  Speaker 1: six from the Kingdom of Mahoning.
• 2:32:58
  Speaker 10: On NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 2:33:01
  Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570 WKBN, 434 in the afternoon in Ron Ferb. So, Frank,
• 2:33:11
  Speaker 1: here's the point I'm trying to make with you, okay?
• 2:33:15
  Speaker 1: When you see the problem with young people today, I'm
• 2:33:22
  Speaker 1: going to tell you some things are going to People
• 2:33:25
  Speaker 1: sit back and say, well, that's why they're voting for
• 2:33:27
  Speaker 1: democratic socialism, because the system isn't working for them like
• 2:33:31
  Speaker 1: it did for so many years for people. And maybe
• 2:33:35
  Speaker 1: that's why people say maybe that's why they say maybe
• 2:33:39
  Speaker 1: unions need to make a comeback in many industries. For example,
• 2:33:43
  Speaker 1: the other day, was it Microsoft or Google? I forget
• 2:33:46
  Speaker 1: which one of the two. They they cut two thousand
• 2:33:49
  Speaker 1: and something people.
• 2:33:50
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 2:33:52
  Speaker 1: At the same time, they're known for having the– they
• 2:33:57
  Speaker 1: just got approved 4,000 and something H-1B visas. So they're
• 2:34:02
  Speaker 1: going to bring in these people from India that are
• 2:34:04
  Speaker 1: able to do the same type computing work for substantially
• 2:34:07
  Speaker 1: less wages.
• 2:34:08
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 2:34:09
  Speaker 1: And they get rid of like twenty five hundred Americans
• 2:34:12
  Speaker 1: that were in those jobs. Well, you don't think that
• 2:34:14
  Speaker 1: that's going to piss off people that are that are
• 2:34:17
  Speaker 1: in those positions when you dramatically destroy their lives in
• 2:34:22
  Speaker 1: that fashion by saying, well, wait a minute here. I
• 2:34:24
  Speaker 1: lose my job, but you're bringing this guy from another
• 2:34:26
  Speaker 1: country to pay him less. And. When you see this
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 1: stuff happen or when you see that gap grow between
• 2:34:34
  Speaker 1: the haves and the have-nots, that is really what created unions.
• 2:34:38
  Speaker 1: Unions were created because people went to work and they
• 2:34:41
  Speaker 1: were abused or they were the working poor. And you
• 2:34:45
  Speaker 1: were probably around during a lot of that. And that's
• 2:34:47
  Speaker 1: what created unions to level the playing field. And they've
• 2:34:50
  Speaker 1: declined over the years. But there might be a need
• 2:34:53
  Speaker 1: for that to reemerge, that movement to reemerge in this
• 2:34:57
  Speaker 1: country as we see this stuff taking place for the
• 2:35:00
  Speaker 1: sake of our young citizens. Your comment, please.
• 2:35:04
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 2:35:05
  Speaker 24: And that's why Dan Ryan used to say that any
• 2:35:10
  Speaker 24: company that gets a union probably deserves one.
• 2:35:13
  Speaker 3: Now, Ron, capitalism.
• 2:35:15
  Speaker 1: That's a good line. It really is.
• 2:35:18
  Speaker 24: Capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than any
• 2:35:24
  Speaker 24: other system.
• 2:35:24
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 2:35:26
  Speaker 24: And so why do so many young people want to
• 2:35:30
  Speaker 24: vote socialist? Well, you know, according to a recent report
• 2:35:34
  Speaker 24: by the Fed, the 7 million immigrants into the United States...
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 24: they bought homes and the demand for housing increased, home
• 2:35:48
  Speaker 24: prices increased, and rents increased. There are private economic studies
• 2:35:53
  Speaker 24: that say these numbers are much higher than the Fed
• 2:35:57
  Speaker 24: is reporting.
• 2:35:58
  Speaker 1: Well, pause for a second. I agree with all of that,
• 2:36:01
  Speaker 1: with all the immigrants who were brought in. But I
• 2:36:03
  Speaker 1: would also, I totally agree. I agree with that. I
• 2:36:09
  Speaker 1: just lost my train of thought with what you were
• 2:36:11
  Speaker 1: saying with all the people that the Fed brought in.
• 2:36:14
  Speaker 24: Well, let me say this. In 2019, companies like Oracle
• 2:36:19
  Speaker 24: and Hewlett-Packard announced they were leaving California for Austin, Texas,
• 2:36:25
  Speaker 24: to escape burdensome taxes and regulations. Builders in Austin saw
• 2:36:31
  Speaker 24: this as an opportunity and began building, anticipating increased demand.
• 2:36:38
  Speaker 24: And building prices began going down after that. Even today,
• 2:36:42
  Speaker 24: prices are down between 15% to 20% of their all-time high.
• 2:36:48
  Speaker 24: And building is still booming as more companies relocate to Austin. And, Ron,
• 2:36:54
  Speaker 24: there's still a 15,000 housing shortage because builders can't build
• 2:37:00
  Speaker 24: fast enough to keep up with the demand. And Roe
• 2:37:04
  Speaker 24: Conn has said that we were promised to tax only billionaires,
• 2:37:09
  Speaker 24: but now we're going to tax millionaires as well. This
• 2:37:12
  Speaker 24: is the Democrats. Now, you give the government an inch
• 2:37:16
  Speaker 24: and they'll take a mile. And I've said a million times,
• 2:37:19
  Speaker 24: if you eliminate government from the economy or at least
• 2:37:23
  Speaker 24: minimize its interference, we would have unprecedented economic prosperity and
• 2:37:30
  Speaker 24: likes of we've never seen.
• 2:37:33
  Speaker 1: Well, I played the DeSantis clip the other day. I
• 2:37:36
  Speaker 1: don't know if you've heard it or not. I spent
• 2:37:39
  Speaker 1: an hour playing what he was talking about down there
• 2:37:41
  Speaker 1: with property taxes. And DeSantis said, if we can eliminate
• 2:37:44
  Speaker 1: property taxes totally for people that are homesteaded residents of Florida,
• 2:37:50
  Speaker 1: if we can eliminate them and that money stays in
• 2:37:52
  Speaker 1: their pockets, do you realize what effect that will have
• 2:37:55
  Speaker 1: on the economy? And from restaurants and stores and everything,
• 2:38:00
  Speaker 1: because now all of a sudden people have that their
• 2:38:02
  Speaker 1: money to spend. I mean, it's he has a philosophy
• 2:38:07
  Speaker 1: of it's your money to begin with, not the government's money.
• 2:38:10
  Speaker 1: And I mean, his attitude is the government. The attitude
• 2:38:16
  Speaker 1: that the government gets your money and you get crumbs
• 2:38:18
  Speaker 1: is a bad attitude. Basically, it's your money, you get
• 2:38:21
  Speaker 1: the bulk of it, and the government should get the crumbs.
• 2:38:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, it is pretty, it is, as I sit
• 2:38:26
  Speaker 1: back and look at the stuff that he has done,
• 2:38:30
  Speaker 1: when you say he's spending less this year than he
• 2:38:33
  Speaker 1: did the year before, and he's spending less the year
• 2:38:35
  Speaker 1: before than he did the year before that. The last
• 2:38:37
  Speaker 1: four years, the government spending has decreased, not adjusted for inflation.
• 2:38:43
  Speaker 1: because they're just running more efficiently and things. I mean,
• 2:38:46
  Speaker 1: that's where government's got to go, is what he's saying.
• 2:38:49
  Speaker 1: That's what you've got to do.
• 2:38:51
  Speaker 24: Well, Ron, that's an excellent point, and let me expand
• 2:38:54
  Speaker 24: on that as well. Let's take the valuation of assets,
• 2:38:58
  Speaker 24: such as homes. The cost of valuating assets alone requires
• 2:39:05
  Speaker 24: massive government bureaucracies that disagree on what the correct valuations are.
• 2:39:11
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:39:11
  Speaker 24: Now, after World War II, England.
• 2:39:14
  Speaker 1: That's just somebody's opinion. Well, you bought your house at this,
• 2:39:17
  Speaker 1: even though you're not selling it, we think it's now
• 2:39:18
  Speaker 1: worth this. So that's what we're going to tax you on.
• 2:39:21
  Speaker 1: And that is absolute bullcrap taxing you on unrealized gains.
• 2:39:25
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 2:39:26
  Speaker 24: And after World War II, England elected socialist tax the
• 2:39:30
  Speaker 24: rich politicians and raised taxes on the rich to 95%.
• 2:39:36
  Speaker 24: And there was a mass exodus of British wealth creators
• 2:39:40
  Speaker 24: out of the country. John Lennon of the Beatles was
• 2:39:43
  Speaker 24: a famous example. Now, in the U.S., people could call
• 2:39:47
  Speaker 24: and say, well, you know, there was a 90% tax
• 2:39:49
  Speaker 24: on on the rich in the United States. But, Ron,
• 2:39:53
  Speaker 24: few people paid it because there were many ways to
• 2:39:57
  Speaker 24: avoid it. In Florida, we're seeing a mass exodus out
• 2:40:01
  Speaker 24: of New York. Not just rich wealth creators, but plumbers
• 2:40:05
  Speaker 24: and other working-class people who see what's coming in their
• 2:40:09
  Speaker 24: home state, such as rent controls and large taxes and
• 2:40:14
  Speaker 24: tax increases. Whether it's Republican or Democrat, soon, Ron, verb,
• 2:40:19
  Speaker 24: And the worker at McDonald's will be considered rich.
• 2:40:24
  Speaker 1: No, you are 100 percent correct. And it's interesting. I
• 2:40:27
  Speaker 1: just hope I hope for my brother's sake and for
• 2:40:31
  Speaker 1: your sake that the people that flee New York and
• 2:40:34
  Speaker 1: go to Florida don't bring that mentality and vote that
• 2:40:36
  Speaker 1: same way down there for the folks that will destroy Florida.
• 2:40:41
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 2:40:42
  Speaker 1: DeSantis is one of a kind. You're so lucky to
• 2:40:44
  Speaker 1: have him as governor. I'm all term limits bother me
• 2:40:47
  Speaker 1: when guys like that get term limited out because I
• 2:40:50
  Speaker 1: think they are just very special. All right, Frank, I
• 2:40:53
  Speaker 1: got to run. I thank you for your time. Appreciate it.
• 2:40:56
  Speaker 1: All right. For Lauderdale, Frank, it's just he makes he
• 2:41:00
  Speaker 1: makes it's interesting to talk to him about the economy.
• 2:41:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know a lot of you are older
• 2:41:06
  Speaker 1: and some of you get it and some of you
• 2:41:08
  Speaker 1: don't get it. But so much is out of step
• 2:41:17
  Speaker 1: with what younger people are going through. And I think
• 2:41:23
  Speaker 1: not only is it out of step, I think local
• 2:41:26
  Speaker 1: politicians are way out of step with it. I think
• 2:41:31
  Speaker 1: that what they are doing for the future generations to
• 2:41:34
  Speaker 1: be able to afford a home and And to have
• 2:41:37
  Speaker 1: a middle class lifestyle with constant property tax increases and
• 2:41:41
  Speaker 1: just pissing away government spending on ridiculous things. People that
• 2:41:46
  Speaker 1: are getting on the county payroll and you're saying, why
• 2:41:49
  Speaker 1: do we have that job? What's the point of that?
• 2:41:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, shouldn't we be reviewing a lot of these
• 2:41:58
  Speaker 1: jobs and eliminating a lot of them that just are
• 2:42:00
  Speaker 1: totally not necessary? Shouldn't our goal be to shrink Mahoning
• 2:42:03
  Speaker 1: County government size, shrink the amount of money that's needed.
• 2:42:10
  Speaker 1: But you don't see any sign of that. But you
• 2:42:16
  Speaker 1: do in Florida. I mean, the difference is just so alarming.
• 2:42:25
  Speaker 1: It's a mentality difference. As DeSantis is saying, so this
• 2:42:31
  Speaker 1: school district wants to double its budget and it has
• 2:42:33
  Speaker 1: way less students? How does that make a lick of sense?
• 2:42:37
  Speaker 1: You have less students, but you want more money. And
• 2:42:46
  Speaker 1: at some point, you've got to start taking a look
• 2:42:47
  Speaker 1: at this kind of stuff. So I do think as
• 2:42:53
  Speaker 1: time goes on, and I will tell you this, I
• 2:42:57
  Speaker 1: just think that as this gap continues to grow between
• 2:43:00
  Speaker 1: the haves and have-nots, I don't want to see people
• 2:43:03
  Speaker 1: go to work and become the working poor. So you
• 2:43:08
  Speaker 1: go to work and you work and you can't achieve
• 2:43:12
  Speaker 1: the American dream. And that is what created labor unions
• 2:43:16
  Speaker 1: in this country that created the 40 hour work week
• 2:43:20
  Speaker 1: that created the benefit packages, paid vacation. You know, a
• 2:43:24
  Speaker 1: lot of times we have to remember a lot of
• 2:43:26
  Speaker 1: this stuff that we take for granted, whether you union
• 2:43:28
  Speaker 1: or non-union didn't exist without unions. And a lot of
• 2:43:31
  Speaker 1: people fought long and hard for that. But you had
• 2:43:35
  Speaker 1: all the people at the top getting all the money
• 2:43:37
  Speaker 1: and the people in between getting screwed. And I think
• 2:43:43
  Speaker 1: that's what you're seeing with today's youth, youths. As my
• 2:43:47
  Speaker 1: cousin Vinnie said, that's what you're seeing with today's youths.
• 2:43:50
  Speaker 1: That they're saying, well, wait a minute. I'm making this
• 2:43:54
  Speaker 1: much money and it's not enough to really achieve the
• 2:43:57
  Speaker 1: American dream. And I'm working hard, but I'm poor.
• 2:44:02
  Speaker 15: Or.
• 2:44:04
  Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying? So they go out and
• 2:44:08
  Speaker 1: vote for Democrat socialists who say, basically, follow me. Here's
• 2:44:13
  Speaker 1: my idea. We'll do it this way. Because they're looking
• 2:44:16
  Speaker 1: and saying, well, all this money is going to the top.
• 2:44:23
  Speaker 1: And not enough in between. And that's what created unions
• 2:44:26
  Speaker 1: and I think that you'll see a reemergence of them
• 2:44:29
  Speaker 1: potentially coming back because they're necessary. Usually something that was
• 2:44:34
  Speaker 1: created that solved a problem, if the thing that solved
• 2:44:40
  Speaker 1: the problem goes away, the problem comes right back. It
• 2:44:44
  Speaker 1: doesn't just disappear. So we see unionism disappear for the
• 2:44:54
  Speaker 1: most part other than in the public sector. And we're
• 2:44:58
  Speaker 1: seeing more of the working poor. So that in turn,
• 2:45:02
  Speaker 1: I think you'll see unionism come back and justifiably. So,
• 2:45:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, this, this is very disturbing to me. And
• 2:45:09
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say it's a meta, that organization that
• 2:45:14
  Speaker 1: you're getting rid of 2,500 of your own American workers.
• 2:45:18
  Speaker 1: And you're bringing in a bunch of H1B visa workers
• 2:45:24
  Speaker 1: because they're cheaper. you don't, think that there's ramifications for that?
• 2:45:33
  Speaker 1: It's something to think about. It's like when I was
• 2:45:36
  Speaker 1: talking to that guy about Social Security and when I
• 2:45:40
  Speaker 1: said to him, take a look at the plight of
• 2:45:44
  Speaker 1: old people before Social Security and Medicare was around. There's
• 2:45:48
  Speaker 1: a reason why it was created and it solved that
• 2:45:51
  Speaker 1: problem for the elderly. And those people who think it
• 2:45:55
  Speaker 1: should be eliminated, that problem will come right back. So
• 2:46:01
  Speaker 1: some of these, you know, these are earned benefits. They're
• 2:46:04
  Speaker 1: not bad things. And I do think that because of
• 2:46:10
  Speaker 1: this gap with the haves and have-nots and the guys
• 2:46:13
  Speaker 1: at the top, I think you'll see unions start to
• 2:46:15
  Speaker 1: come back. As you're seeing young people vote very differently.
• 2:46:20
  Speaker 1: To a degree, to some of this socialism, they're saying, well,
• 2:46:23
  Speaker 1: this system isn't working so good. So it's kind of
• 2:46:31
  Speaker 1: like doing it all over again, trying to level the
• 2:46:34
  Speaker 1: playing field. Revolutions are fought on hungry bellies. I want
• 2:46:38
  Speaker 1: you to work and be able to make a living
• 2:46:39
  Speaker 1: and enjoy some of the American dream, and that's becoming
• 2:46:42
  Speaker 1: more and more difficult. And what troubles me as well,
• 2:46:44
  Speaker 1: I talk about old people so much, they retire and
• 2:46:47
  Speaker 1: their savings doesn't go as far because of this inflation,
• 2:46:50
  Speaker 1: or their retirement nest egg, if they have one saved,
• 2:46:53
  Speaker 1: doesn't go as far because of the high cost of
• 2:46:56
  Speaker 1: medical bills, because of the high cost of car repairs
• 2:47:00
  Speaker 1: or replacing your furnace or air conditioning or replacing your
• 2:47:03
  Speaker 1: roof and doing all of this kind of stuff that
• 2:47:05
  Speaker 1: your money's been devalued with this huge inflation and the
• 2:47:09
  Speaker 1: tax burden oh you're going to tax even more on
• 2:47:11
  Speaker 1: your house so these idiots these local idiots that continue
• 2:47:15
  Speaker 1: to ask for more taxes and think government should take
• 2:47:18
  Speaker 1: more money don't i don't you know if they realize
• 2:47:20
  Speaker 1: the harm they're doing to senior citizens and to our
• 2:47:24
  Speaker 1: younger people. And they are part of the problem. They
• 2:47:26
  Speaker 1: lip it. They give you the lip service, but they
• 2:47:28
  Speaker 1: don't follow through with the actions. It's a damn shame.
• 2:47:31
  Speaker 1: You're on the air.
• 2:47:34
  Speaker 3: How you doing?
• 2:47:35
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'm okay.
• 2:47:36
  Speaker 13: Emmanuel, you know, um, I didn't call you to talk
• 2:47:41
  Speaker 13: to you about this. A couple things I want to
• 2:47:43
  Speaker 13: talk to you, but I've been listening, right? And there's something,
• 2:47:47
  Speaker 13: real quick, there's something I don't understand. I get around
• 2:47:51
  Speaker 13: a lot, and I talk to a lot of people
• 2:47:54
  Speaker 13: that came back that are up here from Florida, and
• 2:47:57
  Speaker 13: they're telling me that the rent and the housing and
• 2:48:00
  Speaker 13: the insurance is just out of whack, and it's getting
• 2:48:03
  Speaker 13: too expensive to stay in Florida.
• 2:48:06
  Speaker 1: Well, I can tell you that's not necessarily so. And
• 2:48:11
  Speaker 1: I think they did have some problems. And it depends.
• 2:48:13
  Speaker 1: Like anywhere, it depends where you go in Florida. I
• 2:48:14
  Speaker 1: can talk pretty good about Florida because of my brothers
• 2:48:18
  Speaker 1: and daughter. And actually, housing prices in Florida are declining.
• 2:48:23
  Speaker 1: And pretty substantially, they're going down, not up, which is
• 2:48:29
  Speaker 1: a good sign. So that's not true.
• 2:48:32
  Speaker 13: Those guys are lying.
• 2:48:35
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 2:48:36
  Speaker 1: No, wait a minute. I want to finish addressing what
• 2:48:41
  Speaker 1: you said. Now, if you live right by the ocean,
• 2:48:45
  Speaker 1: you're going to pay high insurance premiums because the risk
• 2:48:47
  Speaker 1: is very high. So, I mean, if you want beachside
• 2:48:50
  Speaker 1: or oceanside property, there's a big risk with hurricanes and
• 2:48:53
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So you're going to pay dearly
• 2:48:55
  Speaker 1: for insurance there. But if you live in what we
• 2:48:58
  Speaker 1: would call middle-class neighborhoods in Florida, like my daughter lives
• 2:49:01
  Speaker 1: in central Florida and my brother lives, one lives in
• 2:49:05
  Speaker 1: In Venice and the other one that is out in
• 2:49:09
  Speaker 1: the Keys. So if you live in some of those areas,
• 2:49:13
  Speaker 1: depends where you live, your insurance is a lot less expensive.
• 2:49:16
  Speaker 1: Just like around here. But no, it's all good. I mean,
• 2:49:21
  Speaker 1: my daughter gets homestead exempted. It doesn't matter what her
• 2:49:24
  Speaker 1: age is or what her income is. And it's a
• 2:49:26
  Speaker 1: pretty substantial exemption and potentially stands a good possibility not
• 2:49:31
  Speaker 1: having to pay property tax at all with DeSantis. It's
• 2:49:34
  Speaker 1: a step in the right direction. But what did you
• 2:49:35
  Speaker 1: call about?
• 2:49:38
  Speaker 3: Two things.
• 2:49:40
  Speaker 13: The first thing is our strategic oil supply is down
• 2:49:46
  Speaker 13: to less than three weeks.
• 2:49:48
  Speaker 1: Did you know that? No, I did not know that.
• 2:49:52
  Speaker 13: Because we've been tapping it. Yeah, to bring the gas
• 2:49:56
  Speaker 13: prices down, right? And so some people say Iran knows that,
• 2:50:00
  Speaker 13: and so they're going to keep on messing around with
• 2:50:02
  Speaker 13: us until we hit to the point where it's not
• 2:50:06
  Speaker 13: functionally working anymore. You know, because we keep tapping it.
• 2:50:10
  Speaker 3: And I believe.
• 2:50:11
  Speaker 1: I have not heard that word of you here. It
• 2:50:13
  Speaker 1: was three weeks. Stand by for me, Emanuel. But we
• 2:50:16
  Speaker 1: have been tapping into it. There's no question about that.
• 2:50:19
  Speaker 1: Back with Emanuel and more. Ron Verb here tonight. Till
• 2:50:21
  Speaker 1: 6 from the Kingdom of Mahoning.
• 2:50:26
  Speaker 10: This Saturday, 570 WKBN.
• 2:50:30
  Speaker 1: All right. Let me go back to Emanuel. Go ahead, Emanuel.
• 2:50:34
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 2:50:35
  Speaker 13: And the second thing is, right... This ain't going to
• 2:50:38
  Speaker 13: take too long. There was this guy that I knew,
• 2:50:41
  Speaker 13: that I know, that used to have a talk show
• 2:50:47
  Speaker 13: on WKBN. First name was Dan, and his last name
• 2:50:52
  Speaker 13: was Rivers. He told me something long, long, long, long,
• 2:50:56
  Speaker 13: long time ago. It may answer what you're asking about
• 2:51:02
  Speaker 13: as far as the socialists go. He told me, that
• 2:51:07
  Speaker 13: no matter how good your idea is, you know, as
• 2:51:11
  Speaker 13: far as, you know, conservatives or whatever, you know, it
• 2:51:15
  Speaker 13: doesn't matter if you don't get elected. If you don't
• 2:51:19
  Speaker 13: get elected, then your idea isn't any good. The Republicans
• 2:51:25
  Speaker 13: for years found a way to get elected, my opinion.
• 2:51:33
  Speaker 13: But then they controlled everything And like I said before,
• 2:51:37
  Speaker 13: they don't know how to govern. I mean, you know,
• 2:51:40
  Speaker 13: people are complaining. But you have the House, the Senate,
• 2:51:44
  Speaker 13: and the White House. You have state houses. You have
• 2:51:46
  Speaker 13: state Senate. You have state houses.
• 2:51:49
  Speaker 3: All Republican. So the problem, right.
• 2:51:54
  Speaker 13: Is not what people say, you know, because, you know,
• 2:51:57
  Speaker 13: people choose whether it's Obama, whether it's Biden, whether it's
• 2:52:00
  Speaker 13: the Clintons, whether it's the Democrats, whether it's the liberals.
• 2:52:04
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 2:52:05
  Speaker 13: And so people just get tired of hearing it. You know, because, sure,
• 2:52:11
  Speaker 13: the Democratic Party is not perfect. Sure, socialism is not right. But,
• 2:52:16
  Speaker 13: you know, you beat a dog so many times, he's
• 2:52:19
  Speaker 13: not going to listen to you anymore.
• 2:52:21
  Speaker 3: And basically, that's what happened.
• 2:52:23
  Speaker 13: People don't listen to you guys. I don't mean your show,
• 2:52:26
  Speaker 13: but people don't listen to you guys. And it bothers
• 2:52:30
  Speaker 13: me because it hurts America because I found out And
• 2:52:34
  Speaker 13: I couldn't believe it.
• 2:52:35
  Speaker 3: It broke my heart. It broke my heart that people.
• 2:52:39
  Speaker 13: Were actually wanting the United States soccer team to lose.
• 2:52:43
  Speaker 13: And I'm like, well, wait a minute.
• 2:52:44
  Speaker 3: Hold it.
• 2:52:44
  Speaker 13: You can hate the president, but you can't hate the country.
• 2:52:47
  Speaker 3: We are having problems now, Ron.
• 2:52:49
  Speaker 1: Big time problems. Why do you think we are having
• 2:52:56
  Speaker 1: those problems? Do you not think that I'm bringing up
• 2:53:00
  Speaker 1: portions of the reason why we're having that? Don't you
• 2:53:02
  Speaker 1: think the gap? Between the haves and the have-nots and
• 2:53:06
  Speaker 1: the inflation and a lot of, I think I've been
• 2:53:12
  Speaker 1: identifying the tax burden and things is why we're having
• 2:53:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of these problems.
• 2:53:18
  Speaker 13: Can I tell you something without you getting mad?
• 2:53:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely.
• 2:53:23
  Speaker 16: Okay.
• 2:53:24
  Speaker 3: You look at people of color.
• 2:53:28
  Speaker 1: Stand by. Hang on, let me do my break, and
• 2:53:30
  Speaker 1: then I'll come back to you, all right? I mean,
• 2:53:33
  Speaker 1: this should be interesting. NewsRadio 570, WQEN, and Ron Furb.
• 2:53:36

• 2:53:45
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Emanuel.
• 2:53:47
  Speaker 13: Okay, and the second thing is, right, this ain't going
• 2:53:50
  Speaker 13: to take too long. There was this guy that I knew,
• 2:53:55
  Speaker 13: that I know, that used to have a talk show
• 2:54:00

• 2:54:05
  Speaker 13: was Rivers. He told me something long, long, long, long,
• 2:54:09
  Speaker 13: long time ago. It may answer what you're asking about as.
• 2:54:15
  Speaker 3: Far as the socialists go. He told me.
• 2:54:20
  Speaker 13: That no matter how good your idea is, you know,
• 2:54:23
  Speaker 13: as far as, you know, conservatives or whatever, you know,

• 3:06:12
  Speaker 1: All right, so welcome. 507, Kingdom of Mahoning. Ron Verb,
• 3:06:16
  Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570 WQEN. It's 77 degrees on Friday, July 10th.
• 3:06:21
  Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570 WQEN. And we welcome back Emmanuel. Okay, so
• 3:06:26
  Speaker 1: go ahead. Just to reiterate to folks what the point
• 3:06:29
  Speaker 1: is that you want to make here.
• 3:06:32
  Speaker 13: Oh, let me preface it by saying what I've been reading, okay?
• 3:06:35
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:06:37
  Speaker 13: I've been reading, or people asking the question, well, how
• 3:06:41
  Speaker 13: come people of color, especially blacks, aren't complaining about what's
• 3:06:47
  Speaker 13: going on right now? You know, and that goes back
• 3:06:52
  Speaker 13: to when they got rid of all the immigrants and
• 3:06:56
  Speaker 13: they wanted the blacks to go on the field and
• 3:06:57
  Speaker 13: work for $ 11 an hour. We're like, man, we ain't
• 3:06:59
  Speaker 13: doing that. And they couldn't believe that. The farmers were like,
• 3:07:01
  Speaker 13: wait a minute.
• 3:07:02
  Speaker 3: If I give you.
• 3:07:03
  Speaker 13: Guys $ 20 an hour, $ 15 an hour, I can't make
• 3:07:05
  Speaker 13: any money. So the farmers went out of business or
• 3:07:08
  Speaker 13: tried to sneak in some more illegal agents. But if
• 3:07:10
  Speaker 13: you look at the blacks, right, how the blacks got here,
• 3:07:14
  Speaker 13: what all they went through to get to where they're
• 3:07:16
  Speaker 13: at right now. You look at the Mexicans who were here.
• 3:07:20
  Speaker 13: Before anybody white showed up, look what they had to
• 3:07:23
  Speaker 13: go through to get to.
• 3:07:24
  Speaker 3: Where they're at now.
• 3:07:26
  Speaker 13: And it's still a struggle. And listen, I believe in
• 3:07:29
  Speaker 13: freedom of speech. I have no problem with the Proud
• 3:07:31
  Speaker 13: Boys and those guys marching at Trump's dog on whatever
• 3:07:36
  Speaker 13: that was, the 250. I got no problem with that
• 3:07:38
  Speaker 13: because you know what? Freedom of speech. That's what America
• 3:07:41
  Speaker 13: is about. I don't have to agree with you.
• 3:07:44
  Speaker 3: Right. But I believe in freedom of speech. So you so.
• 3:07:47
  Speaker 13: You look at those people and you thought of women
• 3:07:49
  Speaker 13: in there, too. They've been voting that long. They've been
• 3:07:51
  Speaker 13: voting for 250 years.
• 3:07:53
  Speaker 3: So all these people have had issues. The white man
• 3:07:58
  Speaker 3: never had an issue.
• 3:08:00
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 3:08:00
  Speaker 13: Until the union showed up and the union said, hey,
• 3:08:04
  Speaker 13: you got to get somebody black in here, somebody of color. Hey,
• 3:08:07
  Speaker 13: you got to get some woman in there. Now, who
• 3:08:09
  Speaker 13: lost those jobs?
• 3:08:10
  Speaker 3: The white man. Why did the white man lose his job?
• 3:08:13
  Speaker 3: I ain't figured that out yet. He didn't do nothing wrong.
• 3:08:15
  Speaker 13: It's just he was white, and he got replaced by
• 3:08:19
  Speaker 13: somebody black. Now, that would have pissed me off too, Ron.
• 3:08:22
  Speaker 13: That's when it started. So then it got to be
• 3:08:25
  Speaker 13: more and more and more. So finally now, the white
• 3:08:29
  Speaker 13: man is saying, I ain't taking no more. I'm going
• 3:08:32
  Speaker 13: to stand up, but I'm going to fight. You can't
• 3:08:34
  Speaker 13: do me like this. Well, hell, Ron, they did everybody
• 3:08:38
  Speaker 13: else like that before it came to them. When a
• 3:08:42
  Speaker 13: white guy talks about discrimination, when a white guy talks
• 3:08:45
  Speaker 13: about getting done wrong, we laugh at y'all, man.
• 3:08:50
  Speaker 1: So like when I talk about, was it these meta-employees, roughly... Microsoft. Microsoft, yeah,
• 3:08:57
  Speaker 1: thank you. Thank you very much. Microsoft employees. Microsoft employees.
• 3:09:03
  Speaker 1: Microsoft got rid of about 2,500 employees. At the same time,
• 3:09:08
  Speaker 1: they are getting 4,500 H-1B visa approvals. So they're getting
• 3:09:15
  Speaker 1: rid of their American employees and bringing in people from
• 3:09:19
  Speaker 1: India to replace them.
• 3:09:23
  Speaker 13: Ron, what's the difference between that and somebody working at
• 3:09:26
  Speaker 13: a steel mill, a white guy working at a steel mill,
• 3:09:28
  Speaker 13: and he gets replaced by a black guy for no
• 3:09:30
  Speaker 13: reason at all?
• 3:09:31
  Speaker 3: What's the difference?
• 3:09:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know that the black guy or the white
• 3:09:36
  Speaker 1: guy got replaced by a white guy or a black guy.
• 3:09:39
  Speaker 1: I think the black guy and a white guy got
• 3:09:41
  Speaker 1: replaced when the steel mills closed down because they went
• 3:09:45
  Speaker 1: and they moved everything to these slave labor nations to
• 3:09:50
  Speaker 1: make the steel.
• 3:09:52
  Speaker 3: Prior to that, it happened at General Motors. It happened
• 3:09:54
  Speaker 3: at Copperwell. Ron, just all you got to do is ask.
• 3:09:56
  Speaker 3: I bet you there's.
• 3:09:57
  Speaker 13: Somebody that's listening right now. Either it happened to them
• 3:10:01
  Speaker 13: or it happened to somebody they know. They had to
• 3:10:03
  Speaker 13: bring in somebody of color, or guess what? They would
• 3:10:06
  Speaker 13: lose their tax stuff from the government. The government says
• 3:10:09
  Speaker 13: you have to have X amount of this and X
• 3:10:12
  Speaker 13: amount of that.
• 3:10:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay, okay, yeah. I get what you're saying. Or
• 3:10:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know that they fired somebody and hired someone
• 3:10:19
  Speaker 1: of color. They probably didn't hire in the next round
• 3:10:22
  Speaker 1: of hiring somebody based on their color. I doubt if
• 3:10:25
  Speaker 1: they said, hey, we got to fire you because we're
• 3:10:27
  Speaker 1: going to hire a black guy or we're going to
• 3:10:28
  Speaker 1: fire this guy and hire somebody else.
• 3:10:31
  Speaker 13: It didn't happen the way I said it. It happened
• 3:10:32
  Speaker 13: the way you said it. But what's the difference? You
• 3:10:34
  Speaker 13: still white guy still missing out for nothing at all.
• 3:10:36
  Speaker 13: This guy could deserve it. You were talking about DEI.
• 3:10:39
  Speaker 13: This guy deserved the job. This guy didn't do anything wrong.
• 3:10:42
  Speaker 13: This guy's working hard. Well, that happened to a whole
• 3:10:44
  Speaker 13: bunch of white people, and they're mad right now. But
• 3:10:47
  Speaker 13: the bottom line is, Ron, you guys weren't complaining when
• 3:10:50
  Speaker 13: everything was going good for you, when everybody else was
• 3:10:52
  Speaker 13: fighting Jim Crow, everybody else was fighting discrimination, when everybody
• 3:10:55
  Speaker 13: else was trying to get the vote. You guys were
• 3:10:57
  Speaker 13: just having a good old time. You want everybody standing
• 3:11:01
  Speaker 13: in line to help.
• 3:11:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I want you to know I view you as
• 3:11:04
  Speaker 1: an American, not as an African American. So I support
• 3:11:09
  Speaker 1: you making a go of it in America just as
• 3:11:11
  Speaker 1: I would any other American. How's that?
• 3:11:13
  Speaker 17: But Ron.
• 3:11:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:11:14
  Speaker 13: But Ron.
• 3:11:15
  Speaker 3: What?
• 3:11:15
  Speaker 1: But what?
• 3:11:16
  Speaker 3: I've been calling you for decades, right?
• 3:11:18
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 3:11:19
  Speaker 13: And I think I might have been called American two
• 3:11:21
  Speaker 13: times over there. I've been called a traitor. I've been
• 3:11:23
  Speaker 13: called this. I've been called un-American.
• 3:11:25
  Speaker 1: Not by me.
• 3:11:25
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? Come on, Ron. Let's be honest.
• 3:11:28
  Speaker 3: Let's tell the truth here.
• 3:11:29
  Speaker 1: All right. You're an American. Goodbye.
• 3:11:33
  Speaker 13: Well, I know.
• 3:11:34
  Speaker 1: You're on the air.
• 3:11:36

  Speaker 3: is this uh... save america act that the republicans in
• 3:11:56
  Speaker 3: congress partnering with the democrats in congress both chambers are
• 3:12:01
  Speaker 3: refusing to pass trader coon hiding behind the parliamentarian in
• 3:12:07
  Speaker 3: these obscure senate rules that don't appear in the constitution
• 3:12:11
  Speaker 3: that's not acceptable but it appears at this point that
• 3:12:14
  Speaker 3: they have no intention of taking the actions necessary to
• 3:12:18
  Speaker 3: secure our elections. Now, I recognize, because I've spoken to
• 3:12:21
  Speaker 3: some people about this, that some folks still don't understand
• 3:12:24
  Speaker 3: what's going on in our elections. They think our elections
• 3:12:27
  Speaker 3: are secure. I understand you've been told that by CBS
• 3:12:30
  Speaker 3: News for 40 years. It is untrue. I also know
• 3:12:36
  Speaker 3: that the elements of the Save America Act poll at
• 3:12:40
  Speaker 3: 75 to 80 percent approval among all likely voters, not Republicans,
• 3:12:44
  Speaker 3: not Independents, not Democrats, all likely voters. And yet, this
• 3:12:50
  Speaker 3: Congress has enough courage to look the American people in
• 3:12:54
  Speaker 3: the eye and say, while this is overwhelmingly popular with
• 3:12:57
  Speaker 3: a super majority of likely voters, We're not going to
• 3:13:01
  Speaker 3: pass it because we don't care what you think. We
• 3:13:06
  Speaker 3: don't care what's good for the country. We don't care
• 3:13:09
  Speaker 3: what's good for the future or your children or your grandchildren.
• 3:13:13
  Speaker 3: We need election fraud or we could lose power. And
• 3:13:16
  Speaker 3: that's the only potential answer for not passing this act
• 3:13:22
  Speaker 3: is we need election fraud. Now, I've had some folks
• 3:13:27
  Speaker 3: that have complained about the inconvenience of having to prove
• 3:13:29
  Speaker 3: you're a citizen. I've got to be very clear about this.
• 3:13:33
  Speaker 3: It would be absolutely, completely, and utterly impossible for me
• 3:13:37
  Speaker 3: to care less about your inconvenience. We have elections that
• 3:13:41
  Speaker 3: are insecure. That only leads to one thing, which is tyranny.
• 3:13:44
  Speaker 3: You may not have done the work on this. You
• 3:13:46
  Speaker 3: may have just listened to the news. You may believe
• 3:13:48
  Speaker 3: it's not true.
• 3:13:48
  Speaker 12: I don't care.
• 3:13:50
  Speaker 3: This is a save America or lose America thing. I
• 3:13:53
  Speaker 3: don't like the Save America Act particularly. There are a
• 3:13:55
  Speaker 3: lot of elements to it that I would like to change.
• 3:13:58
  Speaker 3: But the fact that Republicans have joined hands with Democrats
• 3:14:01
  Speaker 3: in the Senate and these America first Republicans who got
• 3:14:05
  Speaker 3: elected in 24 have joined hands with the Democrats and
• 3:14:09
  Speaker 3: said that a parliamentarian says no. And we said, what's
• 3:14:12
  Speaker 3: a parliamentarian like? Don't worry about it. If the Democrats
• 3:14:16
  Speaker 3: give a long speech, I'd have to sit in the
• 3:14:18
  Speaker 3: chamber for a long time.
• 3:14:19
  Speaker 16: That's filibuster.
• 3:14:20
  Speaker 3: We can't do it. These are absolutely nonsensical excuses. John
• 3:14:24
  Speaker 3: Thune should be removed from office and charged for treason.
• 3:14:28
  Speaker 3: The rest of Congress should be impeached immediately, and we
• 3:14:31
  Speaker 3: should put people in there that are actually going to
• 3:14:32
  Speaker 3: represent the American people, not foreign countries, not multinational corporations,
• 3:14:37
  Speaker 3: not the arms industry, the American people. This is a
• 3:14:41
  Speaker 3: disgusting situation that can't get resolved. Now, I don't have
• 3:14:44
  Speaker 3: any hope that that is going to happen.
• 3:14:46
  Speaker 1: At this point, they made it crystal clear.
• 3:14:49
  Speaker 3: We're not going to pass the Save America Act.
• 3:14:51
  Speaker 1: Isn't that amazing? Which merely, the Save America Act merely
• 3:14:54
  Speaker 1: says that when you show up to vote, you've got
• 3:14:56
  Speaker 1: to be a citizen and show an ID, basically.
• 3:14:59
  Speaker 3: Yes. And remember, I mean, I don't come at this
• 3:15:02
  Speaker 3: stuff halfway, right? I mean, I have worked with people
• 3:15:05
  Speaker 3: who have gone out and polled voters. So we took
• 3:15:10
  Speaker 3: a collection, a selection of like 525 voters. that appear
• 3:15:14
  Speaker 3: to have voted illegally, possibly voted illegally. Individual citizens on
• 3:15:20
  Speaker 3: their own time and time went out and canvassed those houses,
• 3:15:25
  Speaker 3: those voters, and they did desktop research and proved that,
• 3:15:28
  Speaker 3: in fact, they were registered to vote in other states,
• 3:15:32
  Speaker 3: and they had moved. We found out that in a
• 3:15:36
  Speaker 3: state that doesn't have a voter ID requirement, 30% of
• 3:15:39
  Speaker 3: them voted illegally by mail. By the way, it wasn't
• 3:15:42
  Speaker 3: the people who moved. people are voting in their name
• 3:15:45
  Speaker 3: because there's no voter ID requirement. 30% voted by mail illegally. 70%
• 3:15:51
  Speaker 3: voted illegally in person.
• 3:15:53
  Speaker 16: You say, well, how could that happen?
• 3:15:55
  Speaker 3: When you don't have a voter ID requirement and you've
• 3:15:58
  Speaker 3: got corrupt people working your precinct, all they have to
• 3:16:01
  Speaker 3: do is see who didn't vote and have someone vote
• 3:16:04
  Speaker 3: in their name. And that's exactly what they do. not
• 3:16:09
  Speaker 3: a little idea of the uh... bail-in ballots are completely
• 3:16:11
  Speaker 3: different vector for fraud the machines are another vector for
• 3:16:14
  Speaker 3: fraud this is such a system that is so vulnerable
• 3:16:18
  Speaker 3: and manipulated that uh... the only way we could be
• 3:16:21
  Speaker 3: despite grossly overwhelming the system has happened in sixteen and
• 3:16:24
  Speaker 3: twenty four and you know the fact that john prune
• 3:16:30
  Speaker 3: this trader refuses to address that issue is is uh...
• 3:16:35
  Speaker 3: repulsive They passed some ridiculous housing bill. Here's the question
• 3:16:40
  Speaker 3: for you. Where in the Constitution does it say the
• 3:16:43
  Speaker 3: United States Senate and the United States House will decide
• 3:16:46
  Speaker 3: how the housing market works?
• 3:16:49
  Speaker 6: Nowhere.
• 3:16:50
  Speaker 3: They have no role in the housing market. But they're
• 3:16:54
  Speaker 3: going to pump out a few hundred million dollars here
• 3:16:56
  Speaker 3: and a couple of billion there. You know, a bunch
• 3:16:58
  Speaker 3: of donors are going to get paid. That'll circle back
• 3:17:01
  Speaker 3: in donations.
• 3:17:03
  Speaker 16: They have no role to play there.
• 3:17:04
  Speaker 3: But they say, oh, it's an affordability crisis and this
• 3:17:06
  Speaker 3: is affordable. Just like they said the infrastructure bill was
• 3:17:09
  Speaker 3: for infrastructure and the deficit or the inflation reduction bill
• 3:17:13
  Speaker 3: was to reduce inflation. All lies, all nonsense. And here
• 3:17:18
  Speaker 3: we go. We've got a bill that must pass to
• 3:17:20
  Speaker 3: save the nation. And John Thune and Spender Johnson, along
• 3:17:25
  Speaker 3: with Schumer and Schiff and Klobuchar and everybody else are saying, no,
• 3:17:33
  Speaker 3: we're not doing it. This is unbelievable. These people should
• 3:17:37
  Speaker 3: be removed from office and investigated and potentially charged with treason.
• 3:17:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, all a Save America Act is, once again,
• 3:17:46
  Speaker 1: you have to be a citizen and have an ID
• 3:17:49
  Speaker 1: to vote. That's basically it. And how controversial is that?
• 3:17:55
  Speaker 37: Well, it's not.
• 3:17:56
  Speaker 3: But people say, but wait a minute. I'm going to
• 3:17:59
  Speaker 3: have to go get my birth certificate. That's going to
• 3:18:02
  Speaker 3: take me 10 or 15 minutes online. I'd rather lose
• 3:18:06
  Speaker 3: the country because that's too much that you asked me
• 3:18:08
  Speaker 3: to do. It's a nonsensical point to make, right? So,
• 3:18:15
  Speaker 3: and anybody that thinks that illegal aliens aren't voting, I'm
• 3:18:18
  Speaker 3: going to tell you again, you just don't know. You
• 3:18:21
  Speaker 3: haven't done the work. They do in fact vote. They've
• 3:18:25
  Speaker 3: been voting for years or someone votes in their name. So,
• 3:18:30
  Speaker 3: so when you look at this and you say, wait
• 3:18:32
  Speaker 3: a minute, you know, We're literally in a position where
• 3:18:35
  Speaker 3: people can manipulate the outcomes, and we won't even know it?
• 3:18:39
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 3:18:40
  Speaker 3: So I do understand that these people are corrupt. They
• 3:18:45
  Speaker 3: do not work for us. They do not represent our interests.
• 3:18:49
  Speaker 3: These are the same people that want to put Israel
• 3:18:51
  Speaker 3: into our national defense bill. Why would you put a
• 3:18:55
  Speaker 3: foreign country in our national defense bill? Who in their
• 3:18:57
  Speaker 3: right mind would do such a thing? Well, if you
• 3:19:00
  Speaker 3: don't want to track the amount of aid that Israel gets...
• 3:19:04
  Speaker 3: and you want them to have absolute access to our
• 3:19:07
  Speaker 3: technology and our weapons and be inside our defense system.
• 3:19:11
  Speaker 3: Not that they're not already inside it to a large extent.
• 3:19:14
  Speaker 3: Inside our intelligence system, it's a separate bill. Well, then
• 3:19:17
  Speaker 3: you want to do this. But if you're thinking of
• 3:19:19
  Speaker 3: it as a sovereign citizen of a sovereign nation in
• 3:19:23
  Speaker 3: the United States, you would never do this. This is ridiculous.
• 3:19:26
  Speaker 3: But if it happens, we will never again know what
• 3:19:30
  Speaker 3: the level of involvement Israel has in our defense, in
• 3:19:33
  Speaker 3: our intelligence, what they are doing, and how much money
• 3:19:37
  Speaker 3: they're getting, because it'll all be hidden in black boxes.
• 3:19:41
  Speaker 3: These are the kind of things that get advanced. You know,
• 3:19:43
  Speaker 3: Netanyahu says, I don't want to take aid anymore, so
• 3:19:46
  Speaker 3: he calls Marlon Stutzman and says, hey, here's the language.
• 3:19:49
  Speaker 3: Submit this bill. Stutzman does it. All the AIPAC guys
• 3:19:52
  Speaker 3: get around a table and say, let's do this thing,
• 3:19:54
  Speaker 3: and suddenly God demands it, or if you don't give
• 3:19:57
  Speaker 3: them more money, we're all going to be damned. This
• 3:20:01
  Speaker 3: is ridiculous. And yet we can't save the nation. We
• 3:20:04
  Speaker 3: can't do something so simple and critical as securing our elections.
• 3:20:10
  Speaker 3: This is a catastrophe. So, you know, hopefully we get
• 3:20:14
  Speaker 3: to a point where the American citizen takes his job
• 3:20:18
  Speaker 3: seriously enough that this stops happening. Because the one force
• 3:20:23
  Speaker 3: that could stop it is, of course, us, as I say,
• 3:20:25
  Speaker 3: you know, all the time. So that's on my mind. Now,
• 3:20:28
  Speaker 3: this Iran war is on my mind.
• 3:20:32
  Speaker 1: What Iran war? I thought there was a ceasefire.
• 3:20:36
  Speaker 3: Well, there was.
• 3:20:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah? There was.
• 3:20:39
  Speaker 3: It turns out the Iranians are very difficult to ceasefire with. And,
• 3:20:44
  Speaker 3: of course, Israel doesn't want that war to end. The
• 3:20:47
  Speaker 3: military-industrial complex doesn't want it to end. Certain other, I think,
• 3:20:51
  Speaker 3: really powerful forces don't want it to end. So this
• 3:20:55
  Speaker 3: war is back on. Now, now we're in a real dilemma.
• 3:21:01
  Speaker 3: Once again, I reject the people saying Israel gets stronger
• 3:21:04
  Speaker 3: every day.
• 3:21:05
  Speaker 5: How?
• 3:21:07
  Speaker 3: We're blocking the sea lanes. We're going to presumably blockade
• 3:21:10
  Speaker 3: the oil again. That's all. We just destroyed this port
• 3:21:14
  Speaker 3: just a little bit outside of the Strait of Hormuz
• 3:21:16
  Speaker 3: that's over, you know, down by Pakistan. We just destroyed
• 3:21:21
  Speaker 3: the port, destroyed the infrastructure they used to control vessel
• 3:21:24
  Speaker 3: traffic in that port.
• 3:21:24
  Speaker 1: All right, standby.
• 3:21:25
  Speaker 3: It's basically neutered.
• 3:21:26
  Speaker 1: Standby. Back with G2. More to come, 522. It's Friday.
• 3:21:30
  Speaker 1: Ron Furb, NewsRadio 570.
• 3:21:31
  Speaker 3: WKBN.
• 3:21:35
  Speaker 10: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 3:21:39
  Speaker 1: All right, so welcome to 507, Kingdom of Mahoning. Ron Verb,
• 3:21:45
  Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570 WKBN. It's 77 degrees on Friday, July 10th
• 3:21:51
  Speaker 1: on NewsRadio 570 WKBN. And we welcome back Emmanuel. Okay,
• 3:21:55
  Speaker 1: so go ahead. Just to reiterate to folks what the
• 3:21:58
  Speaker 1: point is that you want to make here.
• 3:22:01
  Speaker 13: Oh, let me preface it by saying what I've been reading, okay?
• 3:22:05
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:22:07
  Speaker 3: I've been reading, or people asking.
• 3:22:09
  Speaker 13: The question, well, how come people of color, especially blacks,
• 3:22:15
  Speaker 13: aren't complaining about what's going on right now? You know,
• 3:22:20
  Speaker 13: and that goes back to when.
• 3:22:23
  Speaker 13: When they got rid of all the immigrants and they
• 3:22:25
  Speaker 13: wanted the blacks to go on the field and work
• 3:22:27
  Speaker 13: for $ 11 an hour.
• 3:22:28
  Speaker 3: We're like, man, we ain't doing that.
• 3:22:29
  Speaker 13: And they couldn't believe it.
• 3:22:30
  Speaker 3: The farmers were like, wait a minute.
• 3:22:32
  Speaker 13: If I give you guys $ 20 an hour, $ 15 an hour,
• 3:22:34
  Speaker 13: I can't make any money. So the farmers went out
• 3:22:37
  Speaker 13: of business or tried to sneak in some more illegal agents.
• 3:22:39
  Speaker 13: But if you look at the blacks, right, how the
• 3:22:42
  Speaker 13: blacks got here, well, all they went through to get
• 3:22:45
  Speaker 13: to where they're at right now. You look at the
• 3:22:47
  Speaker 13: Mexicans who were here. Before anybody white showed up, look
• 3:22:52
  Speaker 13: what they had to go through to get to where
• 3:22:54
  Speaker 13: they're at now. And it's still a struggle. And listen,
• 3:22:58
  Speaker 13: I believe in freedom of speech. I have no problem
• 3:23:00
  Speaker 13: with the Proud Boys and those guys marching at Trump's
• 3:23:05
  Speaker 13: dog on whatever it was, the 250. I got no
• 3:23:07
  Speaker 13: problem with that because you know what? Freedom of speech.
• 3:23:10
  Speaker 13: That's what America is about. I don't have to agree
• 3:23:12
  Speaker 13: with you.
• 3:23:13
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 3:23:14
  Speaker 3: But I believe in freedom of speech.
• 3:23:16
  Speaker 13: So you so you look at those people and you
• 3:23:18
  Speaker 13: thought of women in there, too. They've been voting that long.
• 3:23:20
  Speaker 13: They've been voting for 250 years. So all these people
• 3:23:25
  Speaker 13: have had issues. The white man never had an issue.
• 3:23:29
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:23:30
  Speaker 13: Until the union showed up and the union said, hey,
• 3:23:33
  Speaker 13: you got to get somebody black in here, somebody of color. Hey,
• 3:23:36
  Speaker 13: you got to get some woman in there. Now, who
• 3:23:38
  Speaker 13: lost those jobs?
• 3:23:40
  Speaker 3: The white man.
• 3:23:41
  Speaker 13: Why did the white man lose his job?
• 3:23:43
  Speaker 3: I ain't figured that out yet. He didn't do nothing wrong.
• 3:23:45
  Speaker 3: It's just he was.
• 3:23:46
  Speaker 13: White, and he got replaced by somebody black. Now, that
• 3:23:50
  Speaker 13: would have pissed me off too, Ron. That's when it started.
• 3:23:54
  Speaker 13: So then it got to be more and more and more.
• 3:23:57
  Speaker 13: So finally now, the white man is saying, I ain't
• 3:24:00
  Speaker 13: taking no more. I'm going to stand up, but I'm
• 3:24:03
  Speaker 13: going to fight. You can't do me like this. Well, hell, Ron,
• 3:24:06
  Speaker 13: they did everybody else like that before it came to them.
• 3:24:10
  Speaker 13: That's because nobody, like, when a white guy talks about discrimination,
• 3:24:14
  Speaker 13: when a white guy talks about getting done wrong, we
• 3:24:16
  Speaker 13: laugh at y'all, man.
• 3:24:19
  Speaker 1: So, like, when I talk about, was it these meta-employees, roughly?
• 3:24:25
  Speaker 3: Microsoft.
• 3:24:26
  Speaker 1: Microsoft, yeah, thank you. Thank you very much. Microsoft employees.
• 3:24:31
  Speaker 1: Microsoft employees. Microsoft got rid of about 2,500 employees. At
• 3:24:36
  Speaker 1: the same time, they are getting 4,500 H-1B visa approvals.
• 3:24:43
  Speaker 1: So they're getting rid of their American employees and bringing
• 3:24:47
  Speaker 1: in people from India to replace them.
• 3:24:53
  Speaker 13: Ron, what's the difference between that and somebody working at
• 3:24:55
  Speaker 13: a steel mill, a white guy working at a steel mill,
• 3:24:57
  Speaker 13: and he gets replaced by a black guy for no
• 3:25:00
  Speaker 13: reason at all?
• 3:25:00
  Speaker 3: What's the difference?
• 3:25:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know that the black guy or the white
• 3:25:06
  Speaker 1: guy got replaced by a white guy or a black guy.
• 3:25:08
  Speaker 1: I think the black guy and a white guy got
• 3:25:11
  Speaker 1: replaced when the steel mills closed down because they went
• 3:25:15
  Speaker 1: and they moved everything to these slave labor nations to
• 3:25:20
  Speaker 1: make the steel.
• 3:25:20
  Speaker 13: Prior to that, it happened at General Motors. It happened
• 3:25:24
  Speaker 13: at Copperwell. Ron, just all you got to do is ask.
• 3:25:26
  Speaker 13: I bet you there's somebody that's listening right now. Either
• 3:25:29
  Speaker 13: it happened to them or it happened to somebody they know.
• 3:25:32
  Speaker 13: They had to bring in somebody of color or guess what?
• 3:25:35
  Speaker 13: They would lose their tax stuff from the government and stuff.
• 3:25:38
  Speaker 13: The government says you have to have X amount of
• 3:25:40
  Speaker 13: this and X amount of that.
• 3:25:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay, okay, yeah. I get what you're saying. Or
• 3:25:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know that they fired somebody and hired someone
• 3:25:48
  Speaker 1: of color. They probably didn't hire in the next round
• 3:25:51
  Speaker 1: of hiring somebody based on their color. I doubt if
• 3:25:54
  Speaker 1: they said, hey, we got to fire you because we're
• 3:25:56
  Speaker 1: going to hire a black guy or we're going to
• 3:25:57
  Speaker 1: fire this guy and hire somebody else.
• 3:25:59
  Speaker 13: OK, it didn't happen. It didn't happen the way I
• 3:26:01
  Speaker 13: said it. It happened the way you said it. But
• 3:26:03
  Speaker 13: what's the difference? You still white guy still missing out
• 3:26:05
  Speaker 13: for nothing at all. This guy could deserve it. So
• 3:26:08
  Speaker 13: you were talking about DEI. This guy deserved the job.
• 3:26:10
  Speaker 13: This guy didn't do anything wrong. This guy's working hard. Well,
• 3:26:13
  Speaker 13: that happened to a whole bunch of white people, and
• 3:26:15
  Speaker 13: they're mad right now. But the bottom line is, Ron,
• 3:26:18
  Speaker 13: you guys weren't complaining when everything was going good for you,
• 3:26:21
  Speaker 13: when everybody else was fighting Jim Crow, everybody else was
• 3:26:23
  Speaker 13: fighting discrimination, when everybody else was trying to get the vote.
• 3:26:26
  Speaker 13: You guys were just having a good old time.
• 3:26:28
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 3:26:29
  Speaker 13: You want everybody standing in line to help.
• 3:26:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I want you to I want you to know
• 3:26:32
  Speaker 1: I view you as an American, not as an African American.
• 3:26:36
  Speaker 1: So I support you making a go of it in
• 3:26:40
  Speaker 1: America just as I would any other American. How's that?
• 3:26:43
  Speaker 17: But, Ron.
• 3:26:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 3:26:44
  Speaker 21: But, Ron.
• 3:26:44
  Speaker 3: What?
• 3:26:44
  Speaker 6: But what?
• 3:26:45
  Speaker 3: I've been calling you for decades, right?
• 3:26:47
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 3:26:49
  Speaker 13: And I think I might have been called American two
• 3:26:50
  Speaker 13: times over there. I've been called a traitor. I've been
• 3:26:52
  Speaker 13: called this. I've been called un-American.
• 3:26:54
  Speaker 1: Not by me.
• 3:26:55
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
• 3:26:56
  Speaker 13: Come on, Ron. Let's be honest.
• 3:26:57
  Speaker 3: Let's tell the truth here.
• 3:26:59
  Speaker 1: All right, you're an American.
• 3:27:02
  Speaker 3: Goodbye.
• 3:27:03
  Speaker 1: You're on the air.
• 3:27:05
  Speaker 3: Good evening, Ron. How are you?
• 3:27:07
  Speaker 1: It's G2, ladies and gentlemen, 512 on NewsRadio 570 WKBN. Well, G2,
• 3:27:15
  Speaker 1: what's on your mind here today?
• 3:27:17
  Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of different things. I mean, one
• 3:27:20
  Speaker 3: thing that we just can't let go of is this
• 3:27:23
  Speaker 3: Save America Act that the Republicans in Congress, partnering with
• 3:27:27
  Speaker 3: the Democrats in Congress, both chambers are refusing to pass. And,
• 3:27:33
  Speaker 3: you know, Trader Tune hiding behind the parliamentarian and these
• 3:27:36
  Speaker 3: obscure Senate rules that don't appear in the Constitution, that's
• 3:27:40
  Speaker 3: not acceptable. But it appears at this point that they
• 3:27:44
  Speaker 3: have no intention of taking the actions necessary to secure
• 3:27:47
  Speaker 3: our elections. Now, I recognize, because I've talked to some
• 3:27:51
  Speaker 3: people about this, that some folks still don't understand what's
• 3:27:54
  Speaker 3: going on in our elections. They think our elections are secure.
• 3:27:58
  Speaker 3: I understand you've been told that by CBS News for
• 3:28:00
  Speaker 3: 40 years. It is untrue. I also know that the
• 3:28:06
  Speaker 3: elements of the Save America Act poll at 75% to 80%
• 3:28:11
  Speaker 3: approval among all likely voters, not Republicans, not Independents, not Democrats,
• 3:28:16
  Speaker 3: all likely voters. And yet, this Congress has enough courage
• 3:28:21
  Speaker 3: to to look the American people in the eye and say,
• 3:28:24
  Speaker 3: while this is overwhelmingly popular with a super majority of
• 3:28:28
  Speaker 3: likely voters, we're not going to pass it because we
• 3:28:32
  Speaker 3: don't care what you think. We don't care what's good
• 3:28:36
  Speaker 3: for the country. We don't care what's good for the
• 3:28:39
  Speaker 3: future or your children or your grandchildren. We need election
• 3:28:43
  Speaker 3: fraud or we could lose power. And that's the only
• 3:28:47
  Speaker 3: potential answer. for not passing this act is we need
• 3:28:52
  Speaker 3: election fraud. Now, I've had some folks that have complained
• 3:28:57
  Speaker 3: about the inconvenience of having to prove you're a citizen.
• 3:29:00
  Speaker 3: I've got to be very clear about this. It would
• 3:29:03
  Speaker 3: be absolutely, completely, and utterly impossible for me to care
• 3:29:07
  Speaker 3: less about your inconvenience. We have elections that are insecure.
• 3:29:11
  Speaker 3: That only leads to one thing, which is tyranny. You
• 3:29:14
  Speaker 3: may not have done the work on this. You may
• 3:29:15
  Speaker 3: have just listened to the news. You may believe it's
• 3:29:17
  Speaker 3: not true.
• 3:29:18
  Speaker 12: I don't care.
• 3:29:19
  Speaker 3: This is a save America or lose America thing. Now,
• 3:29:23
  Speaker 3: I don't like the Save America Act particularly. There are
• 3:29:25
  Speaker 3: a lot of elements to it that I would like
• 3:29:26
  Speaker 3: to change. But the fact that Republicans have joined hands
• 3:29:30
  Speaker 3: with Democrats in the Senate and these America first Republicans
• 3:29:35
  Speaker 3: who got elected in 24 have joined hands with the
• 3:29:38
  Speaker 3: Democrats and said, the parliamentarian says no. And we said,
• 3:29:41
  Speaker 3: what's a parliamentarian? They're like, don't worry about it. If
• 3:29:45
  Speaker 3: the Democrats give a long speech, I'd have to sit
• 3:29:47
  Speaker 3: in the chamber for a long time.
• 3:29:48
  Speaker 16: That's filibuster.
• 3:29:49
  Speaker 3: We can't do it. These are absolutely nonsensical excuses. John
• 3:29:54
  Speaker 3: Thune should be removed from office and charged for treason.
• 3:29:57
  Speaker 3: The rest of Congress should be impeached immediately, and we
• 3:30:00
  Speaker 3: should put people in there that are actually going to
• 3:30:01
  Speaker 3: represent the American people, not foreign countries, not multinational corporations,
• 3:30:07
  Speaker 3: not the arms industry, the American people. This is a
• 3:30:10
  Speaker 3: disgusting situation that can't get... Now, I don't have any
• 3:30:14
  Speaker 3: hope that that is going to happen.
• 3:30:16
  Speaker 1: I was going to ask you.
• 3:30:17
  Speaker 14: They made it crystal clear.
• 3:30:18
  Speaker 3: We're not going to pass the Save America Act.
• 3:30:20
  Speaker 1: Isn't that amazing? Which merely, the Save America Act merely
• 3:30:23
  Speaker 1: says that when you show up to vote, you've got
• 3:30:25
  Speaker 1: to be a citizen and show an ID, basically. Yes.
• 3:30:30
  Speaker 3: And remember, I mean, like, I don't come at this
• 3:30:31
  Speaker 3: stuff halfway, right? I mean, I have worked with people
• 3:30:35
  Speaker 3: who have gone out.
• 3:30:36
  Speaker 14: And polled voters.
• 3:30:39
  Speaker 3: So we took a collection, a selection of like 525 voters.
• 3:30:43
  Speaker 3: that appear to have voted illegally, possibly voted illegally. Individual
• 3:30:48
  Speaker 3: citizens on their own time and time went out and
• 3:30:52
  Speaker 3: canvassed those houses, those voters, and they did desktop research
• 3:30:56
  Speaker 3: and proved that, in fact, they were registered to vote
• 3:30:59
  Speaker 3: in other states, and they had moved. We found out
• 3:31:05
  Speaker 3: that in a state that doesn't have a voter ID requirement, 30%
• 3:31:08
  Speaker 3: of them voted illegally by mail. By the way, it
• 3:31:11
  Speaker 3: wasn't the people who moved. people are voting in their
• 3:31:14
  Speaker 3: name because there's no voter ID requirement. 30% voted by
• 3:31:18
  Speaker 3: mail illegally. 70% voted illegally in person. You say, well,
• 3:31:23
  Speaker 3: how could that happen? When you don't have a voter
• 3:31:26
  Speaker 3: ID requirement and you've got corrupt people working your precinct,
• 3:31:30
  Speaker 3: all they have to do is see who didn't vote
• 3:31:33
  Speaker 3: and have someone vote in their name. And that's exactly
• 3:31:36
  Speaker 3: what they do. Now, the voter ID or the mail-in
• 3:31:40
  Speaker 3: ballots are a completely different vector for fraud. The machines
• 3:31:43
  Speaker 3: are another vector for fraud. This is such a system
• 3:31:46
  Speaker 3: that is so vulnerable and manipulated that the only way
• 3:31:50
  Speaker 3: we can beat this by grossly overwhelming the system has
• 3:31:53
  Speaker 3: happened in 16 and 24. And, you know, the fact
• 3:31:58
  Speaker 3: that John Thune, this traitor, refuses to address that issue
• 3:32:02
  Speaker 3: is is repulsive. Now, they passed some ridiculous housing bill.
• 3:32:09
  Speaker 3: Here's the question for you. Where in the Constitution does
• 3:32:11
  Speaker 3: it say the United States Senate and the United States
• 3:32:14
  Speaker 3: House will decide how the housing market works?
• 3:32:18
  Speaker 23: Nowhere.
• 3:32:20
  Speaker 3: They have no role in the housing market. But they're
• 3:32:23
  Speaker 3: going to pump out a few hundred million dollars here
• 3:32:25
  Speaker 3: and a couple of billion there. You know, a bunch
• 3:32:28
  Speaker 3: of donors are going to get paid. That'll circle back
• 3:32:30
  Speaker 3: in donations. They have no role to play there. But
• 3:32:33
  Speaker 3: they say, oh, it's an affordability crisis and this is affordable.
• 3:32:37
  Speaker 3: Just like they said the infrastructure bill was for infrastructure
• 3:32:40
  Speaker 3: and the deficit or the inflation reduction bill was to
• 3:32:43
  Speaker 3: reduce inflation. All lies, all nonsense. And here we go.
• 3:32:48
  Speaker 3: We've got a bill that must pass to save the nation.
• 3:32:51
  Speaker 3: And John Thune and Spender Johnson, along with Schumer and
• 3:32:56
  Speaker 3: Schiff and Klobuchar and everybody else are saying, no, we're
• 3:33:02
  Speaker 3: not doing it. This is unbelievable. These people should be
• 3:33:07
  Speaker 3: removed from office and investigated and potentially charged with treason.
• 3:33:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, all the Save America Act is, once again,
• 3:33:15
  Speaker 1: you have to be a citizen and have an ID
• 3:33:18
  Speaker 1: to vote. That's basically it. And how controversial is that?
• 3:33:25
  Speaker 3: Well, it's not. But people say, but wait a minute.
• 3:33:28
  Speaker 3: I'm going to have to go get my birth certificate.
• 3:33:30
  Speaker 3: That's going to take me 10 or 15 minutes online.
• 3:33:34
  Speaker 3: I'd rather lose the country because that's too much that
• 3:33:37
  Speaker 3: you asked me to do. It's a nonsensical point to make, right?
• 3:33:43
  Speaker 3: And anybody that thinks that illegal aliens aren't voting, I'm
• 3:33:48
  Speaker 3: going to tell you again, you just don't know. You
• 3:33:51
  Speaker 3: haven't done the work. They do, in fact, vote. They've
• 3:33:54
  Speaker 3: been voting for years. Or someone votes in their name.
• 3:33:59
  Speaker 3: So when you look at this and you say, wait
• 3:34:02
  Speaker 3: a minute, you know, We're literally in a position where
• 3:34:04
  Speaker 3: people can manipulate the outcomes, and we won't even know it? Yes.
• 3:34:09
  Speaker 3: So I do understand that these people are corrupt. They
• 3:34:14
  Speaker 3: do not work for us. They do not represent our interests.
• 3:34:19
  Speaker 3: These are the same people that want to put Israel
• 3:34:21
  Speaker 3: into our national defense bill. Why would you put a
• 3:34:24
  Speaker 3: foreign country in our national defense bill? Who in their
• 3:34:26
  Speaker 3: right mind would do such a thing? Well, if you
• 3:34:30
  Speaker 3: don't want to track the amount of aid that Israel gets—
• 3:34:33
  Speaker 3: And you want them to have absolute access to our
• 3:34:37
  Speaker 3: technology and our weapons and be inside our defense system.
• 3:34:41
  Speaker 3: Not that they're not already inside it to a large extent.
• 3:34:43
  Speaker 3: Inside our intelligence system, it's a separate bill. Well, then
• 3:34:47
  Speaker 3: you want to do this. But if you're thinking of
• 3:34:49
  Speaker 3: it as a sovereign citizen, a citizen of a sovereign
• 3:34:52
  Speaker 3: nation in the United States, you would never do this.
• 3:34:54
  Speaker 3: This is ridiculous. But if it happens, we will never
• 3:34:57
  Speaker 3: again know what the level of involvement Israel has in
• 3:35:02
  Speaker 3: in our defense, in our intelligence, what they are doing,
• 3:35:05
  Speaker 3: and how much money they're getting, because it will all
• 3:35:07
  Speaker 3: be hidden in black boxes. These are the kind of
• 3:35:11
  Speaker 3: things that get advanced. You know, Netanyahu says, I don't
• 3:35:14
  Speaker 3: want to take aid anymore. So he calls Marlon Stutzman
• 3:35:17
  Speaker 3: and says, hey, here's the language. Submit this bill. Stutzman
• 3:35:20
  Speaker 3: does it. All the AIPAC guys get around a table
• 3:35:22
  Speaker 3: and say, let's do this thing. And suddenly God demands it,
• 3:35:26
  Speaker 3: or if you don't give them more money, we're all
• 3:35:28
  Speaker 3: going to be damned. This is ridiculous.
• 3:35:31
  Speaker 16: And yet we can't.
• 3:35:32
  Speaker 3: Save the nation. We can't do something so simple and
• 3:35:35
  Speaker 3: critical as securing our elections. This is a catastrophe. So,
• 3:35:42
  Speaker 3: you know, hopefully we get to a point where the
• 3:35:44
  Speaker 3: American citizen takes his job seriously enough that this stops happening.
• 3:35:50
  Speaker 3: Because the one force that could stop it is, of course, us,
• 3:35:54
  Speaker 3: as I say, you know, all the time. So that's
• 3:35:57
  Speaker 3: on my mind. Now, this Iran war is on my mind.
• 3:36:01
  Speaker 1: What Iran war? I thought there was a ceasefire.
• 3:36:05
  Speaker 3: Well, there was.
• 3:36:06
  Speaker 1: There was.
• 3:36:08
  Speaker 3: It turns out the Iranians are very difficult to cease
• 3:36:11
  Speaker 3: fire with. And, of course, Israel doesn't want that war
• 3:36:15
  Speaker 3: to end. The military-industrial complex doesn't want it to end.
• 3:36:20
  Speaker 3: Certain other, I think, really powerful forces don't want it
• 3:36:22
  Speaker 3: to end. So this war is back on. Now now
• 3:36:28
  Speaker 3: we're in a real dilemma. Once again, I reject the
• 3:36:31
  Speaker 3: people saying Israel gets stronger every day.
• 3:36:35
  Speaker 5: How?
• 3:36:36
  Speaker 3: We're blocking the sea lanes. We're going to presumably blockade
• 3:36:39
  Speaker 3: their oil again. That's all. We just destroyed this port
• 3:36:43
  Speaker 3: just a little bit outside of the Strait of Hormuz
• 3:36:46
  Speaker 3: that's over, you know, down by Pakistan. We just destroyed
• 3:36:50
  Speaker 3: the port, destroyed the infrastructure they used to control vessel
• 3:36:53
  Speaker 3: traffic in that port.
• 3:36:54
  Speaker 1: All right, standby.
• 3:36:55
  Speaker 3: It's basically neutered.
• 3:36:56
  Speaker 1: Standby. Back with G2. More to come, 522. It's Friday.
• 3:36:59
  Speaker 1: Ron Ferb, NewsRadio 570.
• 3:37:00
  Speaker 3: WKBN.
• 3:37:05
  Speaker 1: Ron from checking in with Terry C-Mac out at C-Mac.
• 3:37:08
  Speaker 10: 570-WKBN.
• 3:37:10
  Speaker 1: All right, so the on-again, off-again war, the stock market up, down,
• 3:37:14
  Speaker 1: oil prices up, down. What's going on, G2? What's going on?
• 3:37:20
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, I wonder if we're going to go
• 3:37:23
  Speaker 3: through that cycle again for a little while or not.
• 3:37:25
  Speaker 3: Because Trump has said, you know, he's willing to enter
• 3:37:29
  Speaker 3: into new talks with Iran, and they're willing to enter.
• 3:37:31
  Speaker 3: But we're not going to agree to a ceasefire, and
• 3:37:33
  Speaker 3: I don't think he can. But when they stepped up
• 3:37:37
  Speaker 3: to this port, it's called Chabahar, when they stepped up
• 3:37:39
  Speaker 3: to this port and attacked that, that hadn't been attacked before.
• 3:37:44
  Speaker 3: There are two reasons for that. One is that they've
• 3:37:47
  Speaker 3: worked through their top priority targets. And the other is
• 3:37:50
  Speaker 3: they're now willing to take on more civilian-type infrastructure. This
• 3:37:55
  Speaker 3: is not an oil port. This is a port that's
• 3:37:56
  Speaker 3: used for containers and other things. So they got some
• 3:38:00
  Speaker 3: oil out of there, but it's not significant. Ninety-five percent
• 3:38:02
  Speaker 3: of the oil goes through Karg Island. So this is
• 3:38:08
  Speaker 3: a significant escalation, and we're much further down the list
• 3:38:12
  Speaker 3: of targets. So, you know, the damage done to Iran
• 3:38:16
  Speaker 3: is now going to get to become even more severe. Now,
• 3:38:19
  Speaker 3: there's still people that expect the citizens of Iran to
• 3:38:23
  Speaker 3: step up and, you know, throughout their regime. There's no
• 3:38:27
  Speaker 3: chance they're capable of doing that yet. If you look
• 3:38:30
  Speaker 3: at the folks that track the sort of preparedness or
• 3:38:34
  Speaker 3: devastation of the Iranian military assets, the one thing that
• 3:38:39
  Speaker 3: is 100% green, 0% degraded, is their IRGC and other
• 3:38:45
  Speaker 3: military ground forces, meaning all those folks that have their
• 3:38:49
  Speaker 3: foot on the neck of the Iranian people are still
• 3:38:51
  Speaker 3: in place. So I was talking to somebody today who
• 3:38:54
  Speaker 3: suggested that the next course of action might be that they...
• 3:38:58
  Speaker 3: as you put it, vaporize anything that's IRGC. So, again,
• 3:39:01
  Speaker 3: you're past that first round of targets. Now you're into
• 3:39:04
  Speaker 3: the second. There are also some logistics assets that go
• 3:39:10
  Speaker 3: not from the sea, but rather by rail into other countries.
• 3:39:13
  Speaker 3: Those may have to be destroyed. That will cut off
• 3:39:16
  Speaker 3: a significant amount of critical material for these guys. But
• 3:39:20
  Speaker 3: Trump's going to have to now get serious, and he's
• 3:39:22
  Speaker 3: going to have to execute this in a more aggressive manner.
• 3:39:25
  Speaker 7: Now, that said.
• 3:39:26
  Speaker 3: We have talked extensively about this silly idea of regime change,
• 3:39:29
  Speaker 3: and I say it is a silly idea because I
• 3:39:34
  Speaker 3: know I've said this over and over again, but I'll
• 3:39:35
  Speaker 3: just hit it real quickly. We've done this successfully twice,
• 3:39:38
  Speaker 3: Germany and Japan. In order to get Germany, we killed,
• 3:39:41
  Speaker 3: let's just call it 10% of the population, and then
• 3:39:44
  Speaker 3: the Bolsheviks came in and raped 2 million German women, right?
• 3:39:47
  Speaker 3: We left that country devastated, starving to death, and unable
• 3:39:50
  Speaker 3: to defend itself. They agreed to change. You know, Japan,
• 3:39:53
  Speaker 3: we dropped firebombs on Tokyo. We killed 100,000 men, women, children, lizards, snakes.
• 3:39:59
  Speaker 3: Anything that was alive in the city of Tokyo was
• 3:40:03
  Speaker 3: vaporized in a firestorm. Then the bombs, then the nuclear bombs.
• 3:40:09
  Speaker 3: The American people do not have the commitment to this
• 3:40:13
  Speaker 3: war nor the intestinal fortitude to go kill. Using those
• 3:40:18
  Speaker 3: two examples and saying, well, what would you have to
• 3:40:20
  Speaker 3: do to really convert Iran. Well, you've got to go
• 3:40:24
  Speaker 3: kill somewhere between, let's call it 15 million Iranians. You're
• 3:40:28
  Speaker 3: going to have to devastate cities, not military assets, cities.
• 3:40:33
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you right now, there's zero chance that our
• 3:40:34
  Speaker 3: people are willing to do that. There's zero chance that
• 3:40:37
  Speaker 3: we're going to go in on ground forces unless they
• 3:40:39
  Speaker 3: kill Trump. You know, somebody else might do that. I
• 3:40:42
  Speaker 3: don't believe Trump is ever going to do that. So,
• 3:40:46
  Speaker 3: So if we're not going to invade by ground forces,
• 3:40:48
  Speaker 3: we're going to continue simply to do this as a
• 3:40:50
  Speaker 3: naval and air exercise, then it's going to be incredibly
• 3:40:54
  Speaker 3: challenging to degrade Iran enough to actually get to the
• 3:40:57
  Speaker 3: point that regime change actually happens, meaning that enough of
• 3:41:02
  Speaker 3: the military infrastructure in the country is devastated and enough
• 3:41:06
  Speaker 3: of the people around it are devastated that the other
• 3:41:09
  Speaker 3: parts of the populace rise up and can take over
• 3:41:13
  Speaker 3: and elect new governments. They don't have any weapons. They
• 3:41:17
  Speaker 3: don't have any assets. And they haven't done anything about
• 3:41:19
  Speaker 3: it yet. If you saw Khomeini's funeral the other day,
• 3:41:24
  Speaker 3: it was throngs, mobs of people. So this is not
• 3:41:27
  Speaker 3: a homogenous country. It's only about 61% Persian. You may remember, like, 10%
• 3:41:31
  Speaker 3: Kurd and so on. There are Armenians and all these
• 3:41:33
  Speaker 3: other groups in there, Azerbaijanis. But it's not homogenous, but
• 3:41:38
  Speaker 3: there is a lot of support for this current regime,
• 3:41:41
  Speaker 3: and they're a little bit pissed off that they've been
• 3:41:43
  Speaker 3: bombed into this position. But if you blockade, you lose
• 3:41:46
  Speaker 3: that $ 400 million to $ 500 million a year, a day, right?
• 3:41:50
  Speaker 3: If you could block off some of the logistics in
• 3:41:54
  Speaker 3: the other side of the country, headed off into the
• 3:41:56
  Speaker 3: back into Afghanistan and up toward China and whatever. If
• 3:41:59
  Speaker 3: you could shut down that, then you continue to isolate them.
• 3:42:02
  Speaker 3: You continue to make it more and more difficult to
• 3:42:04
  Speaker 3: maintain that tyrannical control. Remember what I always say? Pyrenees
• 3:42:08
  Speaker 3: are expensive. You don't get it at Costco.
• 3:42:10
  Speaker 1: You get it at Cartier. But you also saw those
• 3:42:13
  Speaker 1: people for that funeral in... All right, so the on-again,
• 3:42:17
  Speaker 1: off-again war, the stock market up, down, oil prices up, down.
• 3:42:23
  Speaker 1: What's going on, G2? What's going on?
• 3:42:26
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, I wonder if we're going to go
• 3:42:28
  Speaker 3: through that cycle again for a little while or not.
• 3:42:30
  Speaker 3: Because Trump has said, you know, he's willing to enter
• 3:42:34
  Speaker 3: into new talks with Iran, and they're willing to enter.
• 3:42:36
  Speaker 3: But we're not going to agree to a ceasefire, and
• 3:42:39
  Speaker 3: I don't think he can. But when they stepped up
• 3:42:42
  Speaker 3: to this port, it's called Chabahar, when they stepped up
• 3:42:44
  Speaker 3: to this port and attacked that, that hadn't been attacked before.
• 3:42:49
  Speaker 3: There are two reasons for that. One is that they've
• 3:42:52
  Speaker 3: worked through their top priority targets. And the other is
• 3:42:55
  Speaker 3: they're now willing to take on more civilian-type infrastructure. This
• 3:43:00
  Speaker 3: is not an oil port. This is a port that's
• 3:43:02
  Speaker 3: used for containers and other things. So they got some
• 3:43:05
  Speaker 3: oil out of there, but it's not significant. Ninety-five percent
• 3:43:07
  Speaker 3: of the oil goes through Karg Island. So this is
• 3:43:13
  Speaker 3: a significant escalation, and we're much further down the list
• 3:43:17
  Speaker 3: of targets. So, you know, the damage done to Iran
• 3:43:21
  Speaker 3: is now going to get to become even more severe. Now,
• 3:43:25
  Speaker 3: there's still people that expect the citizens of Iran to
• 3:43:28
  Speaker 3: step up and, you know, throughout their regime. There's no
• 3:43:32
  Speaker 3: chance they're capable of doing that yet. If you look
• 3:43:35
  Speaker 3: at the folks that track the sort of preparedness or
• 3:43:39
  Speaker 3: devastation of the Iranian military assets, the one thing that
• 3:43:44
  Speaker 3: is 100% green, 0% degraded is their IRGC and other
• 3:43:50
  Speaker 3: military ground forces, meaning all those folks that have their
• 3:43:54
  Speaker 3: foot on the neck of the Iranian people are still
• 3:43:56
  Speaker 3: in place. So I was talking to somebody today who
• 3:43:59
  Speaker 3: suggested that the next course of action might be that they–
• 3:44:03
  Speaker 3: As he put it, vaporize anything that's IRGC. So, again,
• 3:44:06
  Speaker 3: you're past that first round of targets. Now you're into
• 3:44:09
  Speaker 3: the second. There are also some logistics assets that go
• 3:44:15
  Speaker 3: not from the sea but rather by rail into other countries.
• 3:44:18
  Speaker 3: Those may have to be destroyed. That will cut off
• 3:44:21
  Speaker 3: a significant amount of critical material for these guys. But
• 3:44:25
  Speaker 3: Trump's going to have to now get serious, and he's
• 3:44:27
  Speaker 3: going to have to execute this in a more aggressive manner. Now,
• 3:44:30
  Speaker 3: that's it. We have talked extensively about this silly idea
• 3:44:34
  Speaker 3: of regime change, and I say it is a silly
• 3:44:36
  Speaker 3: idea because I know I've said this over and over again,
• 3:44:40
  Speaker 3: but I'll just hit it real quickly. We've done this
• 3:44:42
  Speaker 3: successfully twice, Germany and Japan. In order to get Germany,
• 3:44:45
  Speaker 3: we killed, let's just call it 10% of the population,
• 3:44:49
  Speaker 3: and then the Bolsheviks came in and raped 2 million
• 3:44:51
  Speaker 3: German women, right? We left that country devastated, starving to death,
• 3:44:54
  Speaker 3: and unable to defend itself. They agreed to change. You know, Japan,
• 3:44:58
  Speaker 3: we dropped firebombs on Tokyo. We killed 100,000 men, women, children, lizards, snakes.
• 3:45:05
  Speaker 3: Anything that was alive in the city of Tokyo was
• 3:45:08
  Speaker 3: vaporized in a firestorm. Then the bombs, then the nuclear bombs.
• 3:45:14
  Speaker 3: The American people do not have the commitment to this
• 3:45:18
  Speaker 3: war nor the intestinal fortitude to go kill. Using those
• 3:45:23
  Speaker 3: two examples and saying, well, what would you have to
• 3:45:25
  Speaker 3: do to really convert Iran. Well, you've got to go
• 3:45:29
  Speaker 3: kill somewhere between, let's call it 15 million Iranians. You're
• 3:45:34
  Speaker 3: going to have to devastate cities, not military assets, cities.
• 3:45:38
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you right now, there's zero chance that our
• 3:45:39
  Speaker 3: people are willing to do that. There's zero chance that
• 3:45:42
  Speaker 3: we're going to go in on ground forces unless they
• 3:45:44
  Speaker 3: kill Trump. You know, somebody else might do that. I
• 3:45:47
  Speaker 3: don't believe Trump is ever going to do that. So,
• 3:45:51
  Speaker 3: So if we're not going to invade by ground forces,
• 3:45:53
  Speaker 3: we're going to continue simply to do this as a
• 3:45:55
  Speaker 3: naval and air exercise, then it's going to be incredibly
• 3:45:59
  Speaker 3: challenging to degrade Iran enough to actually get to the
• 3:46:02
  Speaker 3: point that regime change actually happens, meaning that enough of
• 3:46:07
  Speaker 3: the military infrastructure in the country is devastated and enough
• 3:46:12
  Speaker 3: of the people around it are devastated that the other
• 3:46:15
  Speaker 3: parts of the populace rise up and can take over
• 3:46:18
  Speaker 3: and elect new governments. They don't have any weapons. They
• 3:46:22
  Speaker 3: don't have any assets. And they haven't done anything about
• 3:46:24
  Speaker 3: it yet. If you saw Khomeini's funeral the other day,
• 3:46:29
  Speaker 3: it was throngs, mobs of people. So this is not
• 3:46:32
  Speaker 3: a homogenous country. It's only about 61% Persian. You may
• 3:46:35
  Speaker 3: remember like 10% Kurd and so on. There are Armenians

  Speaker 3: not homogenous, but there is a lot of support for

• 3:46:47
  Speaker 3: that they've been bombed into this position. But if you blockade,
• 3:46:51
  Speaker 3: you lose that $ 400 to $ 500 million a year, a day, right?
• 3:46:55
  Speaker 3: If you could block off some of the logistics in

  Speaker 3: you continue to make it more and more difficult to

  Speaker 3: maintain that tyrannical control. Remember what I always say, tyranny
• 3:47:13
  Speaker 3: is expensive, you don't get it at Costco, you get
• 3:47:16
  Speaker 3: it at Cartier.
• 3:47:17
  Speaker 1: But you also saw those people for that funeral in...
• 3:47:20
  Speaker 1: Are they the majority? Hang on.
• 3:47:21
  Speaker 2: Good morning and welcome.
• 3:47:22
  Speaker 15: We are now underway.
• 3:47:24
  Speaker 10: We're following the events of the day.
• 3:47:26
  Speaker 6: What we're just now hearing about.
• 3:47:28
  Speaker 15: This is new information.
• 3:47:29
  Speaker 10: Throughout the day.
• 3:47:30
  Speaker 3: Good day.
• 3:47:31
  Speaker 15: This is where it stands now.
• 3:47:32
  Speaker 10: Pick up the conversation.
• 3:47:34
  Speaker 12: We'll talk about what's happening.
• 3:47:35
  Speaker 2: Anytime. The deal we reached with Iran.
• 3:47:38
  Speaker 17: Devils in the details. Bringing the price of gasoline down.
• 3:47:40
  Speaker 2: Maintain the Fed funds rate.
• 3:47:42
  Speaker 12: Tying Pfizer to the save app.
• 3:47:43
  Speaker 30: NATO has been a paper tiger for the very latest.
• 3:47:47
  Speaker 8: We'll see how that all plays out.
• 3:47:49
  Speaker 10: News Radio 570 WKBN.
• 3:47:54
  Speaker 21: Ohio's Attorney General Andy Wilson speaking today at the funeral
• 3:47:59
  Speaker 21: for Rittman Police Officer Sergeant Scott Reese.
• 3:48:02
  Speaker 33: It is such a tragedy. It's a tragedy for you.
• 3:48:05
  Speaker 33: It's a tragedy for the community. It's a tragedy for
• 3:48:08
  Speaker 33: the Rittman Police Department. And it's a tragedy for the
• 3:48:11
  Speaker 33: profession as a whole.
• 3:48:12
  Speaker 21: The funeral held in the town of Wadsworth in Medina County.
• 3:48:16
  Speaker 21: Sergeant Scott Reese of the Rittman Police Department was shot
• 3:48:19
  Speaker 21: to death last weekend while investigating a domestic situation. The
• 3:48:23
  Speaker 21: mother of 16 children found living in alleged horrible conditions
• 3:48:28
  Speaker 21: in a Vinton County home wants to be reunited with them.
• 3:48:32
  Speaker 21: Elizabeth Siders reportedly says her main priority is to be
• 3:48:36
  Speaker 21: back with her kids. She's one of four adults, including
• 3:48:39
  Speaker 21: the young victim's father and grandparents. facing charges i'm matt reese.
• 3:48:44
  Speaker 19: Listen on the free iheart radio app for all your
• 3:48:47
  Speaker 19: music news talk and sports radio podcast to download the
• 3:48:51
  Speaker 19: app free never sounded so good a to z dependable.
• 3:48:55
  Speaker 1: All right uh go ahead with you what you're saying
• 3:48:59
  Speaker 1: g2 534 so so.
• 3:49:00
  Speaker 3: Um when i look at a ran what i'm saying
• 3:49:05
  Speaker 3: is It is not the complete homogenous country that we
• 3:49:08
  Speaker 3: think it could be. Everybody just says Iranian. It's not
• 3:49:11
  Speaker 3: just Iranian. It's not just Persian. It's a mix, right?
• 3:49:15
  Speaker 3: But there is a significant amount of support for this
• 3:49:18
  Speaker 3: fundamentalist Islamic country, this government, or they couldn't survive. Of course,
• 3:49:24
  Speaker 3: the people that were the exiles and the children of
• 3:49:28
  Speaker 3: the exiles, well, they want their country back. But, you know,
• 3:49:33
  Speaker 3: unless they're going to strap up and go in there
• 3:49:35
  Speaker 3: and start fighting, I don't know how that happens. Like,
• 3:49:38
  Speaker 3: what do they expect of us? So I had a
• 3:49:40
  Speaker 3: discussion with some people, and a woman who's an Iranian-American
• 3:49:45
  Speaker 3: whose parents left Iran, I think it was her parents
• 3:49:48
  Speaker 3: that left back in the, when Khomeini took over. You know,
• 3:49:53
  Speaker 3: she was, like, furious at this discussion. She's like, this
• 3:49:55
  Speaker 3: is crazy. It's a bad government. What do you want
• 3:49:59
  Speaker 3: us to do? Do you want us to build up
• 3:50:03
  Speaker 3: a million people in bases in the Middle East and
• 3:50:07
  Speaker 3: send 300,000 men in to kick doors and shoot people
• 3:50:10
  Speaker 3: in Iran? Is that what you want? You want us
• 3:50:11
  Speaker 3: to take 100,000 losses?
• 3:50:14
  Speaker 16: This isn't a video game.
• 3:50:15
  Speaker 3: I don't care what Jack Keane says. So, you know,
• 3:50:18
  Speaker 3: do you want us to fire a bomb and drop
• 3:50:21
  Speaker 3: nuclear weapons on Tehran? What is it you want us
• 3:50:25
  Speaker 3: to do? Do you think regime change comes because you
• 3:50:28
  Speaker 3: pull the lines out of a box of Cracker Jack?
• 3:50:33
  Speaker 3: Is that what you think? It's not a game. And
• 3:50:36
  Speaker 3: we would have to devastate that country to so seriously
• 3:50:41
  Speaker 3: degrade support. So, you know, this is going to have
• 3:50:45
  Speaker 3: to be really kind of two things, and it's going
• 3:50:47
  Speaker 3: to be very hard to get done. One, again, start
• 3:50:49
  Speaker 3: degrading those ground forces. Any IRGC facility, any IRGC leadership,
• 3:50:54
  Speaker 3: they're going to have to start killing these people in
• 3:50:57
  Speaker 3: large numbers and destroying their infrastructure. They have to isolate
• 3:51:01
  Speaker 3: the country and keep it from having the money to
• 3:51:03
  Speaker 3: pay the To maintain the tyranny, right? Tyranny is expensive.
• 3:51:08
  Speaker 3: So you're going to have to cut off the funds flow,
• 3:51:11
  Speaker 3: not just from the oil, but from everything. You're going
• 3:51:13
  Speaker 3: to have to isolate the country from other things so
• 3:51:15
  Speaker 3: it begins to become hungry and tired. It's like you're
• 3:51:19
  Speaker 3: laying siege to a castle. Think of it in those terms.
• 3:51:22
  Speaker 3: And we're going to have to just bomb. Now, are
• 3:51:25
  Speaker 3: we going to go so far as to bomb water assets? Well,
• 3:51:28
  Speaker 3: I hope not, because that's another level. You might as
• 3:51:32
  Speaker 3: well drop firebombs on the city. Are we going to
• 3:51:35
  Speaker 3: take out their power grid? When you take out their
• 3:51:37
  Speaker 3: power grid, civilians begin to die shortly. Are we going
• 3:51:41
  Speaker 3: to take out their residential areas the way Israel's done
• 3:51:47
  Speaker 3: with the Christian villages in Lebanon? I think the answer
• 3:51:50
  Speaker 3: is no. So this is going to be a hat trick.
• 3:51:53
  Speaker 3: There's no easy answer here. And again, I don't much
• 3:51:56
  Speaker 3: care what Jack Keane says. He's just, I don't know
• 3:51:59
  Speaker 3: who he's speaking for now, but it certainly isn't... anything.
• 3:52:03
  Speaker 3: I haven't heard Jack Keane in a long time, to
• 3:52:05
  Speaker 3: be fair, so maybe I'm wrong about what he's saying,
• 3:52:07
  Speaker 3: but the last time I heard his talk about this
• 3:52:09
  Speaker 3: in Ukraine, it was ridiculous.
• 3:52:16
  Speaker 1: Okay. Is that it?
• 3:52:19
  Speaker 16: Well, that's it on Iran.
• 3:52:20
  Speaker 3: That's it on Iran for now. You know, I know
• 3:52:23
  Speaker 3: time is short. We haven't been really able to get
• 3:52:25
  Speaker 3: through this stuff in a couple weeks, so I just thought, well,
• 3:52:27
  Speaker 3: you know, I'll just roll. If you want to hit Ukraine...
• 3:52:32
  Speaker 3: We can touch on that briefly. But we're getting out
• 3:52:37
  Speaker 3: of Ukraine now reports that, once again, the Ukrainians are winning.
• 3:52:40
  Speaker 3: They've been winning now for four years. Can you believe
• 3:52:43
  Speaker 3: we're in the fifth year of this war?
• 3:52:45
  Speaker 5: No.
• 3:52:45
  Speaker 16: I can't.
• 3:52:46
  Speaker 3: Can you believe that we were on the air on
• 3:52:48
  Speaker 3: this show when the war started?
• 3:52:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 3:52:50
  Speaker 3: I can't. I mean, this is what... I have no
• 3:52:53
  Speaker 3: idea how that happened. But here we are. It's year five.
• 3:52:57
  Speaker 8: And.
• 3:52:58
  Speaker 3: The tyrants of Europe continue to work to destroy Spain.
• 3:53:03
  Speaker 3: They continue to work to destroy Germany, Ireland, all these
• 3:53:07
  Speaker 3: countries we've talked about. People say, what are you talking about?
• 3:53:10
  Speaker 36: Like, why?
• 3:53:11
  Speaker 3: Spain now has 9 million migrants. 9 million. That's 20%
• 3:53:16
  Speaker 3: of their population. One in five people living in Spain
• 3:53:20
  Speaker 3: is not Spanish. You think a country can absorb that?
• 3:53:23
  Speaker 3: So it's a Christian country that was invaded.
• 3:53:28
  Speaker 3: By Muslims from Africa who came across and went up
• 3:53:31
  Speaker 3: through the Iberian Peninsula, invaded it, got all the way
• 3:53:34
  Speaker 3: up into this place where the Battle of Tours happened.
• 3:53:37
  Speaker 3: It was the year about 732. And this dude named
• 3:53:40
  Speaker 3: Charles Martel shows up with a small group of Christians,
• 3:53:42
  Speaker 3: grossly outnumbered. Somehow they win and stop the advance of
• 3:53:47
  Speaker 3: Islam in its quest to conquer Europe. That's 732. The
• 3:53:52
  Speaker 3: Muslims ran Spain for like 700 years. Now, this Pedro Sanchez,
• 3:53:59
  Speaker 3: the guy that's the prime minister or president of whatever
• 3:54:03
  Speaker 3: he is, of Spain, has naturalized, not naturalized his citizens,
• 3:54:07
  Speaker 3: but has legalized, let's say, between 500,000 and 800,000 illegal aliens.
• 3:54:12
  Speaker 3: They now have access to every.
• 3:54:13
  Speaker 6: Part of Europe.
• 3:54:14
  Speaker 3: He has taken an army that is composed mostly of
• 3:54:19
  Speaker 3: breeding and fighting age men and given them a passport
• 3:54:23
  Speaker 3: to travel anywhere they want in the European Union. And
• 3:54:27
  Speaker 3: now he's got one in five people in his own
• 3:54:29
  Speaker 3: nation that are not Spanish. It is, in fact, an invasion.
• 3:54:34
  Speaker 3: You go to France, it's 9.6 million. Italy, 6.9 million. Germany,
• 3:54:38
  Speaker 3: 17.2 million people in Germany who are not German. Now,
• 3:54:43
  Speaker 3: that doesn't include those who were born in Germany. And,
• 3:54:46
  Speaker 3: of course, these guys are populating. The Muslims that have
• 3:54:48
  Speaker 3: invaded are dropping babies as fast as they could squeeze
• 3:54:51
  Speaker 3: them out, especially with the generous money they get from
• 3:54:54
  Speaker 3: the government to pay for them. So Europe is being
• 3:54:58
  Speaker 3: invaded as we speak. And, of course, that's precisely the
• 3:55:02
  Speaker 3: plan that they had for the United States. You know
• 3:55:04
  Speaker 3: what stopped it? That was the election of Donald Trump
• 3:55:07
  Speaker 3: when we sealed the border. However, we haven't sealed the
• 3:55:10
  Speaker 3: H-1B hole. So it isn't just illegal aliens. It's illegal aliens.
• 3:55:17
  Speaker 3: It's legal temporary workers like H-1Bs who all try to
• 3:55:22
  Speaker 3: become permanent and most do. And it's legal migration. Look,
• 3:55:26
  Speaker 3: we've got like 50 million people living in this country.
• 3:55:31
  Speaker 3: We have no obligation to take anyone in. We have
• 3:55:35
  Speaker 3: economic stresses that are really affecting the average American, not
• 3:55:39
  Speaker 3: the super wealthy, not the ones that are organizing this invasion,
• 3:55:42
  Speaker 3: but the average American. It's okay to say we're going
• 3:55:47
  Speaker 3: to pull up the drawbridge, not just the illegals, but
• 3:55:49
  Speaker 3: we're going to tell this new... Woman Sharma, who's the
• 3:55:53
  Speaker 3: new CEO of Xbox, sorry, sweetheart. You can fire 3,200
• 3:55:59
  Speaker 3: or 4,800 Americans if you want, but you cannot bring
• 3:56:01
  Speaker 3: in any more H-1Bs. And by the way, no extensions,
• 3:56:06
  Speaker 3: no conversions to permanent resident, and no conversions to citizens.
• 3:56:10
  Speaker 3: Whoever's here on an H-1B goes home. It's a three-year deal.
• 3:56:15
  Speaker 3: You get to come in here for three years. They
• 3:56:17
  Speaker 3: extended the six, then they go to the permanent resident,
• 3:56:20
  Speaker 3: then they go to citizen. Nope. Sorry, sweetheart. I know
• 3:56:23
  Speaker 3: you hate Americans. I get it. But you cannot tell
• 3:56:27
  Speaker 3: me legitimately that That you can't go to Case Western
• 3:56:30
  Speaker 3: Reserve and you can't go to the universities in Duquesne.
• 3:56:36
  Speaker 3: You can't go to these Cleveland State, Youngstown State, and
• 3:56:41
  Speaker 3: you can't find the.
• 3:56:41
  Speaker 16: Workers you need.
• 3:56:42
  Speaker 3: You have to go to Chennai, Mumbai. You have to
• 3:56:46
  Speaker 3: go to Bangalore? You can't find talented.
• 3:56:50
  Speaker 1: Workers in Ohio and Pennsylvania. As Microsoft did by cutting, what,
• 3:56:53
  Speaker 1: 2,500 of their workers, but having 4,000-something H-1B visas.
• 3:57:01
  Speaker 3: Well, so here's the thing. Xbox is owned by Microsoft.
• 3:57:05
  Speaker 3: An Indian takes over Microsoft. And then he, of course,
• 3:57:08
  Speaker 3: promotes an Indian to take over Xbox. The Xbox woman
• 3:57:11
  Speaker 3: says our business is in bad shape. And just in
• 3:57:13
  Speaker 3: that subsidiary, they're firing 3,200 Americans while they are filing
• 3:57:19
  Speaker 3: H-1B visa applications. Exactly. They're firing Americans saying that business
• 3:57:24
  Speaker 3: can't support them and then hiring Indians saying we can't
• 3:57:27
  Speaker 3: get the talent we need in American companies. Microsoft has
• 3:57:32
  Speaker 3: 44,000 employees in India. It's something like, call it 18%
• 3:57:36
  Speaker 3: of the workforce. Somebody can do the math. It's like
• 3:57:38
  Speaker 3: they have 228,000 workers or something like that. You can
• 3:57:40
  Speaker 3: look it up. I don't remember. But it's a huge
• 3:57:43
  Speaker 3: number of people. And you're still outsourcing jobs to India,
• 3:57:46
  Speaker 3: bringing in H-1Bs and firing Americans. I'm telling you, the
• 3:57:50
  Speaker 3: guy that runs Microsoft should go to prison for violating
• 3:57:53
  Speaker 3: the H-1B laws. And the woman that just got promoted
• 3:57:55
  Speaker 3: to be the CEO of Xbox should be sitting in
• 3:57:58
  Speaker 3: the cell next to him. Now, you know what happened
• 3:58:01
  Speaker 3: with this woman? She just got tapped by the Fed
• 3:58:03
  Speaker 3: to advise them on jobs and worker productivity. Just now,
• 3:58:09
  Speaker 3: like today, this woman, I think her name is Anu Sharma.
• 3:58:13
  Speaker 16: So what is this about?
• 3:58:16
  Speaker 3: If you go down to Bentonville, Arkansas, and you look
• 3:58:18
  Speaker 3: at what Walmart has done with their tech divisions, they've
• 3:58:21
  Speaker 3: got big apartment complexes that are full of Indians that
• 3:58:24
  Speaker 3: came in here on H-1B. Look, I don't hate Indians.
• 3:58:26
  Speaker 3: In fact, I have good friends that are Indians, worked
• 3:58:29
  Speaker 3: with a lot of Indians. What I don't like is
• 3:58:32
  Speaker 3: undermining the United States of America and impoverishing its citizens
• 3:58:35
  Speaker 3: in favor of this racist idea that I can use
• 3:58:38
  Speaker 3: your laws to bring my friends and family in here.
• 3:58:41
  Speaker 3: You know what the median income is for H-1Bs?
• 3:58:44
  Speaker 1: No.
• 3:58:47
  Speaker 3: Well, I do. I mean, I just looked it up, okay?
• 3:58:51
  Speaker 3: So if you look at the median income for H-1Bs overall,
• 3:58:57
  Speaker 3: it is– here, I'll pull it up to make sure
• 3:58:59
  Speaker 3: I get it right– H-1B is between $ 110, 000 and $ 130, 000.
• 3:59:02
  Speaker 3: H-1B is in the tech industry, $ 150, 000 to $ 200, 000. You're
• 3:59:09
  Speaker 3: telling me that you can't go to Kent State University's
• 3:59:12
  Speaker 3: IT department or some other department and say, listen, we'd
• 3:59:15
  Speaker 3: like to hire a couple of your kids. You've got
• 3:59:17
  Speaker 3: 100 kids. We're only going to take the top three,
• 3:59:21
  Speaker 3: but we're going to pay them $ 150, 000 to $ 200, 000 to
• 3:59:22
  Speaker 3: work in the tech industry. You think they're going to
• 3:59:24
  Speaker 3: have takers? You think between Kent and Youngstown and Cleveland
• 3:59:30
  Speaker 3: State and Case West Reserve and Duquesne and everything, you
• 3:59:36
  Speaker 3: think that they can't find the workers they need? They
• 3:59:39
  Speaker 3: have to go to Bangalore. That's the only place they
• 3:59:42
  Speaker 3: can find workers. No, that's nonsense. It should be unacceptable.
• 3:59:46
  Speaker 3: This woman should be removed as the new CEO of
• 3:59:48
  Speaker 3: Xbox immediately, and they should put someone there who's not
• 3:59:51
  Speaker 3: going to violate the law using H-1Bs simply to pursue
• 3:59:57
  Speaker 3: her racist agenda. That's what I'm saying.
• 4:00:02
  Speaker 16: So those are some of.
• 4:00:03
  Speaker 3: The things that are on my mind right now, and
• 4:00:05
  Speaker 3: I know it's been a long time since we had
• 4:00:06
  Speaker 3: a chance to really, you know, grind on stuff, so
• 4:00:09
  Speaker 3: I just thought I'd hit a couple things real quick.
• 4:00:13
  Speaker 1: The whole H-1B visa thing is deeply disturbing and troubling.
• 4:00:17
  Speaker 1: Stand by for a minute. You're on the air.
• 4:00:21
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 4:00:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, you're on the air.
• 4:00:25
  Speaker 16: Guys, did you know that this is under Trump's administration, right?
• 4:00:30
  Speaker 16: The things you guys are complaining about are under Trump's administration.
• 4:00:33
  Speaker 16: So I don't understand where, you know, if you guys
• 4:00:36
  Speaker 16: are pointing fingers at anybody, then, you know, it's under
• 4:00:39
  Speaker 16: his administration. And there is, guys, Trump won the last
• 4:00:43
  Speaker 16: two out of the three last elections. There's been three.
• 4:00:47
  Speaker 1: Hold on.
• 4:00:47
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question, J.J. Are you suggesting
• 4:00:51
  Speaker 3: that we're not allowed to criticize Donald Trump?
• 4:00:54
  Speaker 16: No, I'm suggesting that you do. And Ron's been the
• 4:00:56
  Speaker 16: only one that's ever done it.
• 4:00:59
  Speaker 38: Every now and then you'll.
• 4:01:00
  Speaker 16: Throw it in there every now and then. I have
• 4:01:01
  Speaker 16: to give you credit every now and then, G2, that
• 4:01:03
  Speaker 16: you'll say something that somewhat resembles an accusation or implying
• 4:01:11
  Speaker 16: that he might be doing something that's not good for
• 4:01:13
  Speaker 16: the country. But Ron has been, from all the calls
• 4:01:15
  Speaker 16: that I've listened, everybody is... You know, I always wonder
• 4:01:19
  Speaker 16: how much you guys, when you pay your dues every month,
• 4:01:21
  Speaker 16: do you get new pads? Do new pads come along
• 4:01:24
  Speaker 16: with the membership fees?
• 4:01:25
  Speaker 37: Now, hold on.
• 4:01:27
  Speaker 3: Now, JJ, JJ, that's installed and nonsensical. If you go
• 4:01:32
  Speaker 3: back to our discussion about the Ukraine war, you talk
• 4:01:34
  Speaker 3: about what we talked about with, let's go back to
• 4:01:37
  Speaker 3: the Iran war when this launched and Trump signed on
• 4:01:39
  Speaker 3: with Israel to do this. Did you hear me cheering that?
• 4:01:44
  Speaker 16: No, no, I didn't suggest that. I'm just saying that
• 4:01:47
  Speaker 16: I'm listening.
• 4:01:47
  Speaker 3: Don't talk about knee pads. Don't don't dare talk to
• 4:01:50
  Speaker 3: me about knee pads. Don't imply that you don't get
• 4:01:54
  Speaker 3: a homosexual relationship with Donald Trump.
• 4:01:56
  Speaker 16: On your own.
• 4:01:59
  Speaker 3: That is incredibly offensive.
• 4:02:00
  Speaker 16: You've insulted me a lot worse than that there, G2.
• 4:02:02
  Speaker 16: How so?
• 4:02:03
  Speaker 3: What have I said that's insulting to you?
• 4:02:06
  Speaker 16: Much more than that, my friend.
• 4:02:07
  Speaker 15: How?
• 4:02:07
  Speaker 3: How? What have I said?
• 4:02:09
  Speaker 15: How?
• 4:02:09
  Speaker 3: You called me a lipped card.
• 4:02:11
  Speaker 22: Yes.
• 4:02:11
  Speaker 16: You said that one time.
• 4:02:14
  Speaker 3: I've never used the word lipped card.
• 4:02:15
  Speaker 16: That I'm being taken out on a break and being
• 4:02:17
  Speaker 16: groomed because of me.
• 4:02:19
  Speaker 3: I guarantee you that I've never called you a libtard.
• 4:02:21
  Speaker 3: I never use that word.
• 4:02:23
  Speaker 16: Okay, so there again, so being a Democrat, I just
• 4:02:27
  Speaker 16: imagine things, too.
• 4:02:29
  Speaker 3: I know. Give me this. No, give me.
• 4:02:33
  Speaker 1: I will.
• 4:02:34
  Speaker 3: I'm saying that you.
• 4:02:36
  Speaker 1: Now, wait a second. Wait a second, J.J.
• 4:02:39
  Speaker 16: Hold on, J.J.
• 4:02:41
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, J.J.
• 4:02:41
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying you're a groomer. I'm saying that you
• 4:02:44
  Speaker 3: vote to expand child trafficking across the border. Did you
• 4:02:49
  Speaker 3: vote for Biden?
• 4:02:50
  Speaker 16: Did you vote for Biden? Yes, I did it.
• 4:03:03
  Speaker 7: I'll do it again.
• 4:03:04
  Speaker 3: Did you vote for Harris?
• 4:03:05
  Speaker 16: You'd do it again.
• 4:03:06
  Speaker 3: Therefore, you vote for child trafficking. You vote for fentanyl.
• 4:03:10
  Speaker 3: Show me telling you that you'll get new pads on
• 4:03:13
  Speaker 3: your membership. But that's what you vote for. No, no, no.
• 4:03:16
  Speaker 16: That's what you vote for. We told you that was
• 4:03:18
  Speaker 16: going to happen. It happened. You voted for it again.
• 4:03:20
  Speaker 16: Everything that's happening now is because of what you guys did.
• 4:03:23
  Speaker 16: So back at you, pal. What is the list?
• 4:03:31
  Speaker 3: If Trump doesn't veto this crazy housing bill, I will
• 4:03:35
  Speaker 3: criticize him. It's got nothing to do with... But you
• 4:03:41
  Speaker 3: voted for an administration... that oversaw the murder of 400,000
• 4:03:47
  Speaker 3: Americans with fentanyl and then voted for it again.
• 4:03:51
  Speaker 38: And I voted for it again because you're doing the
• 4:03:53
  Speaker 38: same thing of millions of people.
• 4:03:55
  Speaker 37: Using fentanyl and child trafficking and labor trafficking that drives down.
• 4:04:03
  Speaker 16: Wages for the people who pay the taxes to support
• 4:04:05
  Speaker 16: your family. So Ron, I'm so nice to.
• 4:04:07
  Speaker 38: Be implying that you like to use knee pads. It's
• 4:04:09
  Speaker 38: such a horrific thing, but you're implying that I'm murdering
• 4:04:12
  Speaker 38: millions of children.
• 4:04:14
  Speaker 3: You voted for it.
• 4:04:15
  Speaker 38: You voted for it and you knew.
• 4:04:18
  Speaker 10: You were voting for it.
• 4:04:19
  Speaker 16: I don't know if I can take it anymore.
• 4:04:22
  Speaker 3: I feel I'm getting dumber as.
• 4:04:23
  Speaker 16: The call goes on.
• 4:04:37
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 4:04:37
  Speaker 16: Okay, thank you.
• 4:04:38
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 4:04:38
  Speaker 3: All right, thank you.
• 4:04:39
  Speaker 16: I couldn't take it anymore. Oh, but I love talking
• 4:04:41
  Speaker 16: to J.J.
• 4:04:55
  Speaker 1: But I want to clarify, it was Rich, a pharmacist,
• 4:04:57
  Speaker 1: who called him a libtard. I just want to clarify that.
• 4:05:00
  Speaker 1: It was not J.J.
• 4:05:01
  Speaker 7: It could be.
• 4:05:01
  Speaker 13: I don't know.
• 4:05:02
  Speaker 3: I don't use that word.
• 4:05:03
  Speaker 1: I know, but I believe Rich called him. He didn't
• 4:05:06
  Speaker 1: use that word specifically about him, but J.J. takes things
• 4:05:09
  Speaker 1: very personally and puts himself in that category. You're not
• 4:05:12
  Speaker 1: saying J.J. personally did any of this stuff. You're saying
• 4:05:14
  Speaker 1: he voted for an administration that supported this stuff. I
• 4:05:18
  Speaker 1: would never.
• 4:05:19
  Speaker 3: Imply that J.J. did any of those things, and I
• 4:05:21
  Speaker 3: do not believe that he is capable of them. I
• 4:05:24
  Speaker 3: cannot imagine J.J.
• 4:05:25
  Speaker 10: Engaging in the kind of behavior that he voted for.
• 4:05:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you're only saying he voted for an administration
• 4:05:29
  Speaker 1: that supported that. I just want to clarify that.
• 4:05:32
  Speaker 5: J.J.
• 4:05:32
  Speaker 1: Takes it very personally. You're on the air with G2.
• 4:05:38
  Speaker 14: Hey, what's up? How you doing, Ron?
• 4:05:39
  Speaker 1: Good, go ahead.
• 4:05:41
  Speaker 14: Hey, listen, you know, I want to reach back a
• 4:05:44
  Speaker 14: little bit about Emmanuel when he was talking about some
• 4:05:47
  Speaker 14: of the things that happened in our America, which it
• 4:05:51
  Speaker 14: was called affirmative action. That's what happened to America with
• 4:05:57
  Speaker 14: the white class of America. Other than that, you know,
• 4:06:01
  Speaker 14: these people that are doing the things to our country
• 4:06:04
  Speaker 14: right now, the Democrats have never had a cent in
• 4:06:08
  Speaker 14: their pocket. They go into politics and they lean on
• 4:06:12
  Speaker 14: tax dollars and they vote for higher taxes so that
• 4:06:15
  Speaker 14: they can get away with the same things that have happened,
• 4:06:18
  Speaker 14: like in Minnesota. And who knows what else in this
• 4:06:21
  Speaker 14: country is going on with the Democrat Party. The Republicans
• 4:06:24
  Speaker 14: have always had the money. They've always had control of
• 4:06:27
  Speaker 14: the purse strings. And they're the ones that have controlled
• 4:06:29
  Speaker 14: America from the very beginning.
• 4:06:31
  Speaker 1: All right, stand by for me, caller. Stand by, G2.
• 4:06:34
  Speaker 1: We're going to come back with more in a minute.
• 4:06:36
  Speaker 1: News Radio 570 WKBN.
• 4:06:41
  Speaker 10: Ron Verb on News Radio 570 WKBN.
• 4:06:48
  Speaker 1: All right. Go ahead with what you're saying, G2, 534.
• 4:06:54
  Speaker 3: So when I look at Iran, what I'm saying is
• 4:06:58
  Speaker 3: it is not the complete homogenous country that we think
• 4:07:00
  Speaker 3: it could be. Everybody just says Iranian. It's not just Iranian.
• 4:07:04
  Speaker 3: It's not just Persian. It's a mix, right? But there
• 4:07:08
  Speaker 3: is a significant amount of support for this fundamentalist Islamic country,
• 4:07:13
  Speaker 3: this government, or they couldn't survive. Of course, The people
• 4:07:17
  Speaker 3: that were the exiles and the children of the exiles, well,
• 4:07:22
  Speaker 3: they want their country back. But, you know, unless they're
• 4:07:25
  Speaker 3: going to strap up and go in there and start fighting,
• 4:07:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know how that happens. Like, what do they
• 4:07:30
  Speaker 3: expect of us? So I had a discussion with some
• 4:07:32
  Speaker 3: people and a woman who's an Iranian-American whose parents left Iran.
• 4:07:39
  Speaker 3: I think it was her parents that left back in the,
• 4:07:43
  Speaker 3: when Khomeini took over. You know, she was, like, furious
• 4:07:46
  Speaker 3: at this discussion. She's like, this is crazy. It's a
• 4:07:48
  Speaker 3: bad government. What do you want us to do? Do
• 4:07:53
  Speaker 3: you want us to build up a million people in
• 4:07:56
  Speaker 3: bases in the Middle East and send 300,000 men in
• 4:08:00
  Speaker 3: to kick doors and shoot people in Iran? Is that
• 4:08:03
  Speaker 3: what you want? You want us to take 100,000 losses?
• 4:08:06
  Speaker 16: This isn't a video game.
• 4:08:07
  Speaker 3: I don't care what Jack Keane says. So, you know,
• 4:08:11
  Speaker 3: do you want us to fire a bomb and drop
• 4:08:13
  Speaker 3: nuclear weapons on Tehran? What is it you want us
• 4:08:17
  Speaker 3: to do? Do you think regime change comes because you
• 4:08:20
  Speaker 3: pull the eyes out of a box of Cracker Jack?
• 4:08:25
  Speaker 3: Is that what you think? It's not a game. And
• 4:08:28
  Speaker 3: we would have to devastate that country to so seriously
• 4:08:33
  Speaker 3: degrade support. So, you know, this is going to have
• 4:08:37
  Speaker 3: to be really kind of two things, and it's going
• 4:08:39
  Speaker 3: to be very hard to get done. One, again, start
• 4:08:41
  Speaker 3: degrading those ground forces. Any IRGC facility, any IRGC leadership,
• 4:08:47
  Speaker 3: they're going to have to start killing these people in
• 4:08:49
  Speaker 3: large numbers and destroying their infrastructure immediately. They have to
• 4:08:53
  Speaker 3: isolate the country and keep it from having the money
• 4:08:55
  Speaker 3: to pay to maintain the tyranny, right? Tyranny is expensive.
• 4:09:00
  Speaker 3: So you're going to have to cut off the funds flow,
• 4:09:03
  Speaker 3: not just from the oil but from everything. You're going
• 4:09:05
  Speaker 3: to have to isolate the country from other things so
• 4:09:07
  Speaker 3: it begins to become hungry and tired. It's like you're
• 4:09:11
  Speaker 3: laying siege to a castle. Think of it in those terms.
• 4:09:14
  Speaker 3: And we're going to have to just bomb now. Are
• 4:09:17
  Speaker 3: we going to go so far as to bomb water assets? Well,
• 4:09:21
  Speaker 3: I hope not, because that's another level. You might as
• 4:09:24
  Speaker 3: well drop firebombs on the city. Are we going to
• 4:09:27
  Speaker 3: take out their power grid? When you take out their
• 4:09:29
  Speaker 3: power grid, civilians begin to die shortly. Are we going
• 4:09:33
  Speaker 3: to take out their residential areas the way Israel's done
• 4:09:39
  Speaker 3: with the Christian villages in Lebanon? I think the answer
• 4:09:42
  Speaker 3: is no. So this is going to be a hat trick.
• 4:09:45
  Speaker 3: There's no easy answer here. And, again, I don't much
• 4:09:48
  Speaker 3: care what Jack Keane says. You know, he's just– I
• 4:09:51
  Speaker 3: don't know who he's speaking for now, but it certainly
• 4:09:53
  Speaker 3: isn't anything. I haven't heard Jack Keane in a long time,
• 4:09:57
  Speaker 3: to be fair, so maybe I'm wrong about what he's saying.
• 4:09:59
  Speaker 3: But the last time I heard his talk about this
• 4:10:01
  Speaker 3: in Ukraine, it was ridiculous.
• 4:10:08
  Speaker 1: Okay. Is that it?
• 4:10:10
  Speaker 3: So– Well, that's it on Iran. That's it on Iran
• 4:10:13
  Speaker 3: for now. You know, I know time is short. We
• 4:10:16
  Speaker 3: haven't been really able to get through this stuff in
• 4:10:18
  Speaker 3: a couple weeks, so I just thought, well, you know,
• 4:10:19
  Speaker 3: I'll just roll. If you want to hit Ukraine, we
• 4:10:25
  Speaker 3: can touch on that briefly. But we're getting out of
• 4:10:29
  Speaker 3: Ukraine now reports that, once again, the Ukrainians are winning.
• 4:10:32
  Speaker 3: They've been winning now for four years. Can you believe
• 4:10:35
  Speaker 3: we're in the fifth year of this war? No.
• 4:10:37
  Speaker 1: I can't.
• 4:10:38
  Speaker 3: Can you believe that we were on the air on
• 4:10:40
  Speaker 3: this show when the war started?
• 4:10:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can.
• 4:10:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is what I I have no idea
• 4:10:45
  Speaker 3: how that happened. But here we are. It's year five.
• 4:10:49
  Speaker 3: And the the tyrants of Europe continue to work to
• 4:10:53
  Speaker 3: destroy Spain. They continue to work to destroy Germany, Ireland,
• 4:10:59
  Speaker 3: all these countries we've talked about. People say, what are
• 4:11:01
  Speaker 3: you talking about? Like, why? Spain now has nine million migrants.
• 4:11:06
  Speaker 3: 9 million. That's 20% of their population. One in five
• 4:11:11
  Speaker 3: people living in Spain is not Spanish. You think a
• 4:11:14
  Speaker 3: country can absorb that? So it's a Christian country that
• 4:11:17
  Speaker 3: was invaded... by Muslims from Africa who came across and
• 4:11:23
  Speaker 3: went up through the Iberian Peninsula, invaded it, got all
• 4:11:26
  Speaker 3: the way up into this place where the Battle of
• 4:11:28
  Speaker 3: Tours happened. It was the year about 732. And this
• 4:11:31
  Speaker 3: dude named Charles Martel shows up with a small group
• 4:11:34
  Speaker 3: of Christians, grossly outnumbered. Somehow they win and stop the
• 4:11:38
  Speaker 3: advance of Islam in its quest to conquer Europe. That's 732.
• 4:11:43
  Speaker 3: The Muslims ran Spain for like 700 years. Now, this
• 4:11:50
  Speaker 3: Pedro Sanchez, the guy that's the prime minister or president
• 4:11:54
  Speaker 3: of whatever he is, of Spain, has naturalized, not naturalized
• 4:11:58
  Speaker 3: the citizens, but has legalized, let's say, between 500,000 and
• 4:12:02
  Speaker 3: 800,000 illegal aliens. They now have access to every part
• 4:12:05
  Speaker 3: of Europe. He has taken an army that is composed
• 4:12:09
  Speaker 3: mostly of breeding and fighting age men and given them
• 4:12:14
  Speaker 3: a passport to travel anywhere they want in the European Union.
• 4:12:19
  Speaker 3: And now he's got one in five people in his
• 4:12:21
  Speaker 3: own nation that are not Spanish. It is, in fact,
• 4:12:25
  Speaker 3: an invasion. You go to France, it's 9.6 million. Italy,
• 4:12:29
  Speaker 3: 6.9 million. Germany, 17.2 million people in Germany who are
• 4:12:34
  Speaker 3: not German. Now, that doesn't include those who were born
• 4:12:37
  Speaker 3: in Germany. And, of course, these guys are populating. The
• 4:12:39
  Speaker 3: Muslims that have invaded are dropping babies as fast as
• 4:12:42
  Speaker 3: they can squeeze them out, especially with the generous money
• 4:12:46
  Speaker 3: they get from the government to.
• 4:12:47
  Speaker 14: Pay for them.
• 4:12:48
  Speaker 3: So Europe is being invaded as we speak. And, of course,
• 4:12:51
  Speaker 3: that's precisely the plan that they had for the United States.
• 4:12:56
  Speaker 3: You know what stopped it? That was the election of
• 4:12:58
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump when we sealed the border. However, we haven't
• 4:13:02
  Speaker 3: sealed the H-1B hole. So it isn't just illegal aliens.
• 4:13:07
  Speaker 3: It's illegal aliens. It's legal temporary workers like H-1Bs who
• 4:13:13
  Speaker 3: all try to become permanent and most do. And it's
• 4:13:17
  Speaker 3: legal migration. Look, we've got like 50 million people living
• 4:13:21
  Speaker 3: in this country. We have no obligation to take anyone in.
• 4:13:26
  Speaker 3: We have economic stresses that are really affecting the average American,
• 4:13:31
  Speaker 3: not the super wealthy, not the ones that are organizing
• 4:13:33
  Speaker 3: this invasion, but the average American. It's okay to say
• 4:13:38
  Speaker 3: we're going to pull up the drawbridge, not just the illegals,
• 4:13:41
  Speaker 3: but we're going to tell this new... Woman Sharma, who's
• 4:13:45
  Speaker 3: the new CEO of Xbox, sorry, sweetheart. You can fire
• 4:13:51
  Speaker 3: 3,200 or 4,800 Americans if you want, but you cannot
• 4:13:53
  Speaker 3: bring in any more H-1Bs. And by the way, no extensions,
• 4:13:58
  Speaker 3: no conversions to permanent resident, and no conversions to citizen.
• 4:14:01
  Speaker 3: Whoever's here on an H-1B goes home. It's a three-year deal.
• 4:14:07
  Speaker 3: You get to come in here for three years. They
• 4:14:09
  Speaker 3: extend it to six. Then they go to the permanent resident.
• 4:14:12
  Speaker 3: Then they go to citizen. Nope. Sorry, sweetheart. I know
• 4:14:15
  Speaker 3: you hate Americans. I get it. But you cannot tell
• 4:14:19
  Speaker 3: me legitimately that you can't go to Case Western Reserve
• 4:14:23
  Speaker 3: and you can't go to the universities in Duquesne. You
• 4:14:29
  Speaker 3: can't go to these Cleveland State, Youngstown State, and you
• 4:14:33
  Speaker 3: can't find the workers you need. You have to go
• 4:14:35
  Speaker 3: to Chennai, Mumbai. You have to go to Bangalore? You
• 4:14:40
  Speaker 3: can't find talented.
• 4:14:42
  Speaker 1: Workers in Ohio and Pennsylvania. As Microsoft did by cutting, what,
• 4:14:45
  Speaker 1: 2,500 of their workers, but having 4,000-something H-1B visas.
• 4:14:53
  Speaker 3: Well, so here's the thing. Xbox is owned by Microsoft.
• 4:14:57
  Speaker 3: An Indian takes over Microsoft. And then he, of course,
• 4:15:00
  Speaker 3: promotes an Indian to take over Xbox. The Xbox woman
• 4:15:03
  Speaker 3: says our business is in bad shape. And just in
• 4:15:05
  Speaker 3: that subsidiary, they're firing 3,200 Americans while they are filing
• 4:15:11
  Speaker 3: H-1B visa applications. Exactly. They're firing Americans saying that business
• 4:15:16
  Speaker 3: can't support them and then hiring Indians saying we can't
• 4:15:19
  Speaker 3: get the talent we need in American companies. Microsoft has
• 4:15:24
  Speaker 3: 44,000 employees in India. It's something like, call it 18%
• 4:15:28
  Speaker 3: of the workforce. Somebody can do the math. It's like
• 4:15:30
  Speaker 3: they have 228,000 workers or something like that. You can
• 4:15:32
  Speaker 3: look it up. I don't remember. But it's a huge
• 4:15:35
  Speaker 3: number of people. And you're still outsourcing jobs to India,
• 4:15:39
  Speaker 3: bringing in H-1Bs and firing Americans. I'm telling you, the
• 4:15:42
  Speaker 3: guy that runs Microsoft should go to prison for violating
• 4:15:45
  Speaker 3: the H-1B laws. And the woman that just got promoted
• 4:15:47
  Speaker 3: to be the CEO of Xbox... should be sitting in
• 4:15:50
  Speaker 3: the cell next to him. Now, you know what happened
• 4:15:53
  Speaker 3: with this woman? She just got tapped by the Fed
• 4:15:55
  Speaker 3: to advise them on jobs and worker productivity. Just now,
• 4:16:01
  Speaker 3: like today, this woman, I think her name is Anu Sharma.
• 4:16:05
  Speaker 3: So what is this about? If you go down to Bentonville, Arkansas,
• 4:16:09
  Speaker 3: and you look at what Walmart has done with their
• 4:16:11
  Speaker 3: tech divisions, they've got big apartment complexes that are full
• 4:16:15
  Speaker 3: of Indians that came in here on H-1Bs. Look, I
• 4:16:18
  Speaker 3: don't hate Indians. In fact, I have good friends that
• 4:16:20
  Speaker 3: are Indians, worked with a lot of Indians. What I
• 4:16:23
  Speaker 3: don't like is undermining the United States of America and
• 4:16:26
  Speaker 3: impoverishing its citizens in favor of this racist idea that
• 4:16:30
  Speaker 3: I can use your laws to bring my friends and
• 4:16:32
  Speaker 3: family in here and Do you know what the median
• 4:16:35
  Speaker 3: income is for H-1Bs?
• 4:16:37
  Speaker 1: No.
• 4:16:39
  Speaker 3: Well, I do. I mean, I just looked it up, okay?
• 4:16:43
  Speaker 3: So if you look at the median income for H-1Bs overall,
• 4:16:49
  Speaker 3: it is... Here, I'll pull it up to make sure
• 4:16:51
  Speaker 3: I get it right. H-1Bs between $ 110, 000 and $ 130, 000. H-1Bs
• 4:16:53
  Speaker 3: in the tech industry, $ 150, 000 to.
• 4:16:54
  Speaker 1: $ 200, 000.
• 4:16:56
  Speaker 3: You're telling me that you can't go to Kent State
• 4:17:03
  Speaker 3: University's IT department or some other department and say, listen,
• 4:17:07
  Speaker 3: we'd like to hire a couple of your kids. You've
• 4:17:09
  Speaker 3: got 100 kids. We're only going to take the top three,
• 4:17:13
  Speaker 3: but we're going to pay them $ 150, 000 to $ 200, 000 to
• 4:17:14
  Speaker 3: work in the tech industry. You think they're going to
• 4:17:17
  Speaker 3: have takers? You think between Kent and Youngstown and Cleveland State?
• 4:17:24
  Speaker 3: And Case West Reserve and Duquesne and everything, you think
• 4:17:29
  Speaker 3: that they can't find the workers they need? They have
• 4:17:31
  Speaker 3: to go to Bangalore. That's the only place they can
• 4:17:34
  Speaker 3: find workers. No, that's nonsense. It should be unacceptable. This
• 4:17:38
  Speaker 3: woman should be removed as the new CEO of Xbox immediately,
• 4:17:42
  Speaker 3: and they should put someone there who's not going to
• 4:17:43
  Speaker 3: violate the law using H-1Bs simply to pursue her racist agenda.
• 4:17:52
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. So those are some of the
• 4:17:55
  Speaker 3: things that are on my mind right now. And I
• 4:17:57
  Speaker 3: know it's been a long time since we had a
• 4:17:58
  Speaker 3: chance to really, you know, grind on stuff. So I
• 4:18:01
  Speaker 3: just thought I'd hit a couple things real quick.
• 4:18:05
  Speaker 1: The whole H-1B visa thing is deeply disturbing and troubling.
• 4:18:09
  Speaker 1: Stand by for a minute. You're on the air.
• 4:18:13
  Speaker 6: Hello.
• 4:18:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, you're on the air.
• 4:18:17
  Speaker 16: Guys, did you know that this is under Trump's administration, right?
• 4:18:22
  Speaker 16: The things that you guys are complaining about are under
• 4:18:24
  Speaker 16: Trump's administration. So I don't understand where, you know, if
• 4:18:28
  Speaker 16: you guys are pointing fingers at anybody, then, you know,
• 4:18:30
  Speaker 16: it's under his administration. And there is, guys, Trump won
• 4:18:34
  Speaker 16: the last two out of the three last elections. There's
• 4:18:38
  Speaker 16: been three.
• 4:18:39
  Speaker 3: Hold on. Just let me ask you a question, J.J.
• 4:18:42
  Speaker 3: Are you suggesting that we're not allowed to criticize Donald Trump?
• 4:18:46
  Speaker 16: No, I'm suggesting that you do, and Ron's been the
• 4:18:48
  Speaker 16: only one that's ever done it. Every now and then
• 4:18:52
  Speaker 16: you'll throw it in there every now and then. I
• 4:18:53
  Speaker 16: have to give you credit every now and then, G2,
• 4:18:55
  Speaker 16: that you'll say something that somewhat resembles an accusation or
• 4:19:02
  Speaker 16: implying that he might be doing something that's not good
• 4:19:05
  Speaker 16: for the country. But Ron has been, from all the
• 4:19:07
  Speaker 16: calls that I've listened, everybody is, you know, I always
• 4:19:11
  Speaker 16: wonder how much you guys, when you pay your dues
• 4:19:13
  Speaker 16: every month, do you get new pads? Do new pads
• 4:19:16
  Speaker 16: come along with the membership fees?
• 4:19:17
  Speaker 13: Now, hold on.
• 4:19:19
  Speaker 3: Now, J.J., J.J., that's insulting and nonsensical. If you go
• 4:19:24
  Speaker 3: back to our discussion about the Ukraine war, you talk
• 4:19:26
  Speaker 3: about what we talked about with– let's go back to
• 4:19:29
  Speaker 3: the Iran war when this launched and Trump signed on
• 4:19:31
  Speaker 3: with Israel to do this. Did you hear me cheering that?
• 4:19:35
  Speaker 16: No, no, I didn't suggest that. I'm just saying that it– So.
• 4:19:39
  Speaker 3: Don't talk about knee pads. Don't dare talk to me
• 4:19:42
  Speaker 3: about knee pads. Don't imply that you're the culprit or
• 4:19:46
  Speaker 3: that I have some kind of homosexual relationship with Donald Trump.
• 4:19:48
  Speaker 3: That is highly offensive.
• 4:19:49
  Speaker 16: So you have to purchase him on your own?
• 4:19:51
  Speaker 3: That is incredibly offensive.
• 4:19:52
  Speaker 16: You've insulted me a lot worse than that there, G2.
• 4:19:54
  Speaker 16: How so?
• 4:19:55
  Speaker 3: What have I said that's insulting to you?
• 4:19:58
  Speaker 38: Much more than that, my friend.
• 4:19:59
  Speaker 21: How?
• 4:19:59
  Speaker 6: How?
• 4:20:00
  Speaker 3: What have I said?
• 4:20:01
  Speaker 1: How?
• 4:20:01
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 4:20:01
  Speaker 3: Calling me a libtard? Yes. Calling me the pro- You
• 4:20:04
  Speaker 3: too said that one time- I've never used the word libtard.
• 4:20:07
  Speaker 3: And being groomed because of me. I'm going to tell
• 4:20:11
  Speaker 3: you that I've never called you a libtard. I never
• 4:20:14
  Speaker 3: use that word.
• 4:20:15
  Speaker 16: Okay, so there again, so being a Democrat, I just
• 4:20:18
  Speaker 16: imagine things, too.
• 4:20:20
  Speaker 14: I know.
• 4:20:21
  Speaker 1: I want to.
• 4:20:22
  Speaker 3: Give me this.
• 4:20:24
  Speaker 16: No, no, give me.
• 4:20:25
  Speaker 1: I will... I'm.
• 4:20:26
  Speaker 3: Saying that you... Now, wait a second.
• 4:20:30
  Speaker 1: Wait a second, J.J.
• 4:20:31
  Speaker 3: Hold on, J.J.
• 4:20:33
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, J.J.
• 4:20:33
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying you're a groomer. I'm saying that you
• 4:20:36
  Speaker 3: vote to expand child trafficking across the border. But you do.
• 4:20:42
  Speaker 16: You are.
• 4:20:44
  Speaker 3: You are. Did you vote for Biden?
• 4:20:54
  Speaker 38: Yes, I did it.
• 4:20:55
  Speaker 16: I'll do it again.
• 4:20:56
  Speaker 3: Did you vote for Harris?
• 4:20:57
  Speaker 16: You'd do it again.
• 4:20:58
  Speaker 3: Therefore, you vote for child trafficking.
• 4:21:00
  Speaker 16: You vote for.
• 4:21:01
  Speaker 3: Some of you are telling me you'll get.
• 4:21:04
  Speaker 16: New pads on your membership fee. But that's what you
• 4:21:06
  Speaker 16: vote for.
• 4:21:06
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 4:21:08
  Speaker 16: That's what you vote for.
• 4:21:09
  Speaker 3: We told you that was going to happen.
• 4:21:11
  Speaker 16: It happened.
• 4:21:11
  Speaker 3: You voted for it again.
• 4:21:12
  Speaker 38: Everything that's happening now is because of what you guys did.
• 4:21:15
  Speaker 16: So back at you, pal.
• 4:21:16
  Speaker 38: What is the list?
• 4:21:22
  Speaker 3: If Trump doesn't veto this crazy housing bill, I will
• 4:21:27
  Speaker 3: criticize him. It's got nothing to do with... But you
• 4:21:33
  Speaker 3: voted for an administration... that oversaw the murder of 400,000
• 4:21:39
  Speaker 3: Americans with fentanyl and then voted for it again. And
• 4:21:43
  Speaker 3: I voted for.
• 4:21:44
  Speaker 38: It again because you're doing the same thing of millions of.
• 4:21:47
  Speaker 37: People, millions of children all over the world, because of
• 4:21:50
  Speaker 37: you guys, because of you all.
• 4:21:52
  Speaker 3: And the labor trafficking that drives down wages for the
• 4:21:55
  Speaker 3: people who pay the taxes to support your family.
• 4:21:57
  Speaker 38: So Ron, I'm so nice to be implying that you
• 4:22:00
  Speaker 38: like to use knee pads. It's such a horrific thing,
• 4:22:03
  Speaker 38: but you're implying that I'm murdering millions of children.
• 4:22:06
  Speaker 3: You voted for it. You voted for it and.
• 4:22:08
  Speaker 16: You knew you were voting for it.
• 4:22:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I can take it anymore. I
• 4:22:13
  Speaker 3: feel I'm getting dumber as the call goes on.
• 4:22:29
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 4:22:29
  Speaker 24: Okay.
• 4:22:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, thank you. Yes. All right, thank you. I couldn't
• 4:22:32
  Speaker 3: take it anymore.
• 4:22:47
  Speaker 1: But I want to clarify, it was Rich, a pharmacist,
• 4:22:49
  Speaker 1: who called him a libtard. I just want to clarify that.
• 4:22:52
  Speaker 1: It was not J.J.
• 4:22:53
  Speaker 25: I don't know.
• 4:22:54
  Speaker 3: I don't use that word.
• 4:22:55
  Speaker 1: I know, but I believe Rich called him. He didn't
• 4:22:58
  Speaker 1: use that word specifically about him, but J.J. takes things
• 4:23:01
  Speaker 1: very personally and puts himself in that category. You're not
• 4:23:04
  Speaker 1: saying J.J. personally did any of this stuff. You're saying
• 4:23:06
  Speaker 1: he voted for an administration that supported this stuff. That's
• 4:23:10
  Speaker 1: all you say.
• 4:23:11
  Speaker 3: I would never imply that J.J. did any of those things,
• 4:23:13
  Speaker 3: and I do not believe that he is capable of them.
• 4:23:16
  Speaker 3: I cannot imagine J.J. engaging.
• 4:23:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you're only saying he voted for an administration
• 4:23:21
  Speaker 1: that supported that. I just want to clarify that.
• 4:23:24
  Speaker 16: J.J.
• 4:23:24
  Speaker 1: Takes things very personally. Okay. You're on the air with G2.
• 4:23:30
  Speaker 14: Hey, what's up? How you doing, Ron?
• 4:23:31
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 4:23:32
  Speaker 6: Go ahead.
• 4:23:33
  Speaker 14: Hey listen you know i want to uh... reach back
• 4:23:36
  Speaker 14: a little bit uh... body manuel when he was talking
• 4:23:39
  Speaker 14: about some of the things that happen in our yes
• 4:23:42
  Speaker 14: america which it was called affirmative action that's what happened
• 4:23:48
  Speaker 14: to america with the white class of america other than
• 4:23:51
  Speaker 14: that you know these people that are doing the things
• 4:23:55
  Speaker 14: to our country right now the democrats have never had
• 4:24:00
  Speaker 14: a set in their pocket they go into politics and
• 4:24:03
  Speaker 14: they lean on tax dollars, and they vote for higher
• 4:24:06
  Speaker 14: taxes so that they can get away with the same
• 4:24:09
  Speaker 14: things that have happened, like in Minnesota. And who knows
• 4:24:12
  Speaker 14: what else in this country is going on with the
• 4:24:14
  Speaker 14: Democrat Party. The Republicans have always had the money. They've
• 4:24:18
  Speaker 14: always had control of the purse strings, and they're the
• 4:24:20
  Speaker 14: ones that have controlled America from.
• 4:24:22
  Speaker 3: The very beginning.
• 4:24:23
  Speaker 1: All right, stand by for me, caller. Stand by, G2.
• 4:24:26
  Speaker 1: We're going to come back with more in a minute.

  Speaker 9: I'm Dr.

  Speaker 15: Cheryl Figliano.
• 4:24:35
  Speaker 10: News Radio 570 WKBN.
• 4:24:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he takes things very personally, as opposed to what
• 4:24:43
  Speaker 1: you mean as saying there's consequences to voting. Right? All right,
• 4:24:49
  Speaker 1: let me try to get through these calls. Okay, with G2, hello.
• 4:24:56
  Speaker 1: With G2, hello.
• 4:25:00
  Speaker 3: Hello?
• 4:25:00
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 4:25:01
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 4:25:03
  Speaker 12: Are you there?
• 4:25:05
  Speaker 1: With G2, hello.
• 4:25:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, there you are.
• 4:25:10
  Speaker 14: I just wanted to know what he thought about, you know,
• 4:25:13
  Speaker 14: how the Democrats have come through the ranks with so
• 4:25:17
  Speaker 14: much power based on our tax dollars and raising our taxes.
• 4:25:24
  Speaker 3: How they remain so popular?
• 4:25:29
  Speaker 14: No, G2, you know, we're like-minded, very much so.
• 4:25:33
  Speaker 1: So, Mick, what's your question? I'm running out of time.
• 4:25:36
  Speaker 1: What is your question?
• 4:25:39
  Speaker 14: I have a point. I really don't, Ron. I appreciate
• 4:25:44
  Speaker 14: your time and everything like that, but I do know
• 4:25:46
  Speaker 14: one thing. These Democrats don't have power without our tax dollars.
• 4:25:51
  Speaker 16: Exactly.
• 4:25:52
  Speaker 3: Here's a quick point. Look at what's happening in Central
• 4:25:56
  Speaker 3: and South America now that USAID money is out of elections.
• 4:26:00
  Speaker 3: Is that just a coincidence, or is that a cause
• 4:26:03
  Speaker 3: and effect?
• 4:26:06
  Speaker 14: You know what? Once they implement... You know, we have
• 4:26:09
  Speaker 14: the wrong people in Congress and Senate right now that
• 4:26:13
  Speaker 14: are contributing to trying to defund things that we need
• 4:26:19
  Speaker 14: that are necessities to America, but yet their constituents have
• 4:26:24
  Speaker 14: nothing to do with American prosperity. It has everything to
• 4:26:27
  Speaker 14: do with every... other nation in the world, and how
• 4:26:31
  Speaker 14: in God's name can we allow somebody else to vote
• 4:26:35
  Speaker 14: in our American politics when they don't even reside here
• 4:26:38
  Speaker 14: or were even born here?
• 4:26:39
  Speaker 3: It is a real problem that people that are in
• 4:26:44
  Speaker 3: Congress are voting for their home country like Ilhan Omar.
• 4:26:46
  Speaker 16: Who said it openly.
• 4:26:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. With G2, you're on air. I don't know why
• 4:26:54
  Speaker 1: that line doesn't work right there. It just doesn't make sense.
• 4:26:57
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense. All right, G2. I mean,
• 4:27:00
  Speaker 1: there's a couple of things. As far as the voting
• 4:27:04
  Speaker 1: is concerned, what do they call it? The Secure America Act?
• 4:27:06
  Speaker 1: What's the official name of it? Save America. All right.
• 4:27:10
  Speaker 1: It's real simple. All Americans should support it. It merely
• 4:27:13
  Speaker 1: says you've got to be a citizen to vote and
• 4:27:14
  Speaker 1: show an ID. I don't care if you're a Democrat
• 4:27:16
  Speaker 1: or Republican. Americans should support it. And Trump is saying, hey, listen,
• 4:27:21
  Speaker 1: what's the argument here, Democrats or Republicans? It's the way
• 4:27:25
  Speaker 1: we can secure our elections to prevent fraud from happening.
• 4:27:27
  Speaker 1: It should be one of our highest priorities. And I
• 4:27:30
  Speaker 1: agree with Trump. You do as well, correct?
• 4:27:32
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. We've got to save this country and elections are
• 4:27:35
  Speaker 3: a critical part of it.
• 4:27:36
  Speaker 1: And this has got to go quick. So what's the
• 4:27:38
  Speaker 1: answer when it comes to the Iran situation? Quickly.
• 4:27:43
  Speaker 3: It's going to have to be a very well-executed, extremely
• 4:27:46
  Speaker 3: consistent and hardcore bombing campaign with tightly targeted but expanding
• 4:27:52
  Speaker 3: targets that just basically begins to degrade and chew up
• 4:27:55
  Speaker 3: that IRGC. That's the only way to get this going.
• 4:27:58
  Speaker 3: We're going to have to kill a lot of these
• 4:27:59
  Speaker 3: IRGC forces.
• 4:28:00
  Speaker 1: All right, so it's going to go back to bombing
• 4:28:03
  Speaker 1: in hopes to reach a conclusion and end this thing, correct?
• 4:28:08
  Speaker 3: Yes, and that is by no means going to be easy.
• 4:28:11
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 4:28:12

  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 4:29:10
  Speaker 11: Yeah, okay.

  Speaker 14: No. You know, we're like minded. Very much so.

  Speaker 1: So what's your question? I'm running out of time. What
• 4:29:22
  Speaker 1: is your question?

  Speaker 14: I have a point. I don't have. I really don't.

• 4:33:35
  Speaker 40: groups like the Revolutionary Guards, for example, would play a
• 4:33:38
  Speaker 40: much larger role. But in any case, most experts looking
• 4:33:42
  Speaker 40: at the regime believe that now it is likely more
• 4:33:45
  Speaker 40: hardline than pre-war and in many ways will have been
