  Speaker 1: WKBN.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: 4.06 in the afternoon, NewsRadio 570. I'm glad it's Friday.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: I'm really looking forward to the weekend. Get a little
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: R & R, a little rest. Friday, May 8th, it's, what,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: 56 degrees, another cloudy overcast, a damp day in my
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: neck of the woods. NewsRadio 570. All right, Bubba Ganoush,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: what was the intelligent point you wanted to make?
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Intelligent?
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 0:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I got plenty of intelligent points.
• 0:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well... Try to come up with just one.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: Okay. Let me think.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, what I was trying to tell you is when
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: you're dealing with these people, you can't count on this.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: You know, he's going to have to blow the hell
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: out of them because they're going to say, well, we'll
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: agree to this and they'll all postpone. And what they're
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: trying to do is get the Democrats to win because
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: then they can go to them and say, hey, give
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: us 1.5 trillion. You know what I mean? So they're
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: going to try to delay, delay, delay, delay. And you
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: heard that before. You heard that from other people.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: And by the way, if you read the Koran, if
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I make an agreement, say I'm Islam, and I make
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: an agreement with Ron Verb, who's Christian, right? Guess what?
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I don't have to honor the agreement. In the Koran,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: it says you don't have to honor any agreement with
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: anybody unless they're Islam, because you're an infidel.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: If you're not Islam, you're an infidel, and you don't
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: have to agree. You don't have to honor the agreement. Now,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I read that in 96, and that's why I tell people, man,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: this is not a religion. It's a movement. It's not
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: a religion.
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: It's a movement.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: And that's why women who are like, oh, yeah, then
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you're nuts. Sharia law and what they do
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: with women over there, and they're all motivated.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: You're nuts.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I tell the women, I said,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you got your head out right. You know what I mean?
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Don't you agree? You see what they do with the women?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: I get it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I just would like to see some type of resolution come.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: You can't be there.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: The only thing I know, Ron, blow the hell out
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of them. Yeah.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: Okay. Well, we shall see. We shall see. All right.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: It's Bubba Ganoush. You're on air.
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: There are so many topics that we could touch today,
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: and I don't know where to start. Local, state, national, global.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: Now we've got extraterrestrial, so you pick.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Where you want to begin. I want to cover them all.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: Start with local.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Local. Yeah.
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: The turnout, everything, primaries. I'm just going to see where
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: the chips land. You know, election is done. We'll see
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: where everything goes.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: They say in our community here in Mahoney County, we
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: had a higher than normal turnout. So there was some
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: good news. I don't know about the state, but a
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: higher than a better turnout than in the past, but
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: still low compared to how many people have the ability
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: to vote.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: And I, We have an open primary. If you go in,
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: you say if you want a Democrat or a Republican ballot.
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: So I could have, I guess, just grabbed a Democrat
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: ballot and voted for everybody who I thought would eventually lose.
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: I don't know how many people would have done that,
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: but we'll see. We'll see what happens. This is why
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: we have primaries. We'll see what happens at the end
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: of the day, who actually gets elected and then what
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: they actually do. So time will tell. That's on the
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: local level. I don't have too much to say about that.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: We'll see. On the state level... You know, Vivek, I
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: hope he does very well. Do you happen to hear
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: about his proposal for consolidating the universities in Ohio also?
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: Tell me about it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Well, that's good.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: I don't really know too much about it. But, you know,
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: just like people talk about here consolidating our public schools
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: because we've got too many of them in too many jurisdictions,
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: too many superintendents, too many of this, too many of that.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: There's just too many universities in the state of Ohio
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: where we could have more basically branch campuses of Ohio State,
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: branch campus of Cincinnati, branch campus of Youngstown State, some
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: of the smaller schools. I don't know if that's a
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: good stance right now because a lot of these people, places,
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: you know, employ a lot of people. But at the
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: end of the day, he's probably right. You need to
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: cut a lot of these jobs that are, you know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: state funded if you're going to get rid of property taxes.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: in the state of Ohio, or if you're going to
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: get rid of income tax. But, you know, I don't
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: know where it's going to go with that. It's just confusing,
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: and I haven't really heard too much about it other
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: than the blurb I saw. I didn't know if you
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: knew anything about it.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I have heard very little about it, but I saw
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: him talking the other day. It's not like he's talking
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: about closing down Youngstown State or the University of Akron.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: I just..
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Don't know what he would want to consolidate. I mean,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: a lot of this stuff is easier said than it
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: is done.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's... We.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: Need a long runway to even get any of that accomplished.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: That's one thing. And again, we'll see. There's a lot
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: that can happen until November. I mean, a whole lot.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: We all know that. But obviously, I hope he does well.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: I hope he wins. Amy Acton is just... I mean,
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: we could talk ad nauseum about how terrible that would
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: be on a state level. On a national level, I
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: tell you what, the Democrat, what happened in Virginia with
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: their state Supreme Court knocking down that gerrymandering, you know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: they were going to have a supermajority Democrat-run state. So
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: if that gets blocked now, we can actually go back
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: to normalcy there. What happened with that Supreme Court decision
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: last week, Louisiana, Clay, that you can't base congressional districts
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: off of, you know, skin color?
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: That's a big change. Obviously, I want the SAVE Act.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: I want you to be a U.S. citizen to vote.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: But it also helps if they're not just picking and
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: choosing all these congressional districts for the Democrats to just win.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: They don't need to have a message. They just need
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: to have the votes in the certain areas to get
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: the congressional seats. So that's a big thing moving forward.
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: On a global level, obviously everything with Iran... The 10-year
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: Treasury rates touched 4.5%, and then boom, we hear, oh, there's...
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: I can't even keep track of what the deal even
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: was the other day, because I'm so immune to it.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: I'm so numb to this happened. We are ushering ships out.
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: Then we're not. We got attacked. Our destroyers, three of them,
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: shot down. They were just love taps. I don't know
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: what to even think anymore about that. But, I mean...
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: Has anything changed day to day? But every time that
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: 10-year treasury is 4.5%, something, in quotes, happens as a deal,
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: and it just gets pushed off to another day. I
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: can't keep track anymore. It's hard to even really want
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: to pay attention. I mean, our country's at war with
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: another nation, and I almost am at the point now
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: where it's like, I don't even need the information because
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: it's going to change two days later.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: It's so in flux and you don't know. You've been told, well,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: they want a deal. They want to make a deal.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: They want to make a deal. They being Iran. I've
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: been hearing that for weeks. Well, where's the deal? I'm
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: just saying that. You keep telling me they want to
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: make a deal. If they want to make a deal,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: what seems to be the issue or the problem? I mean,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: how much is talk and talk is cheap. Deeds are precious.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: That's all I'm here to say. I mean, obviously, they
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: can't control a straight. Obviously, Where is the deal? If
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: they want to make a deal, I don't get it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt in my mind. I mean, I can
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: sit back and say there's no doubt in my mind
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the U.S. military has devastated them, absolutely devastated them, and
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: their economy. I don't think they're sitting with a good
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: hand of.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Cards, do you?
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: Not at all, but they have all the time in
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: the world to try to wait this out because they're
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: ruled with an iron fist. We have elections in November.
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: So what's our greatest weapon in the whole entire everything?
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: It's not the bunker buster. It's not anything else. It's
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: the U.S. dollar. And that's the next biggest thing I'll
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: just touch base on real quick. Markup for the Clarity
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: Act is on Monday. They're hoping to put this through
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: the Senate and have it on Trump's desk to be
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: signed on the 4th of July. And I know nobody
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: knows anything about it. But this is the next greatest
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: weapon that the United States of America has to push
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: our dollar even further out into the world. If you
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: were in Iran right now, and side note, have you
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: seen any videos from Iran? You know, no Snapchat, no Instagram,
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: no Facebook, no X. Nobody there can send out any
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: videos because they don't even have Internet. Their currency is
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: completely decimated. If those people could get the U.S. dollar
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: and hold on to it, they would do that in
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: an absolute heartbeat. So what the Genius Act last year
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: and the Clarity Act that hopefully will go through on
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: July 4th is to allow anybody in the entire world
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: to hold a digital U.S. dollar on their phone. Which,
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: what does that mean? They're backed by treasuries. What are treasuries?
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: They're U.S.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Debt.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: We talk about the debt all the time. It's $ 40 trillion.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: It's going to go to $ 45, $ 50, and keep going
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: forever because countries don't default on their currency. They print more.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: So that's what we're going to do. And we're going
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: to send our dollars throughout the whole entire world. And
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: that's the next step. And that's coming, hopefully, July 4th.
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: It's going to totally change everything. The reason it's not
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: gone through is because big banks have been fighting it
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: for the last year. Right now, when you fit your
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: money in a checking account, you get, what, 0.05% interest
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: with a stable coin where you can have your dollar
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: in a digital checking account, basically. That's going to pay 4.5%.
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: And guess what? Those issuers can then give you 2.5%.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: Big banks bought it. The whole reason this hasn't gone
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: through and we're not able to disperse the dollar more
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: throughout the whole entire world is because big banks are afraid.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: of capital risk so they finally have just given up
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: there's a whole lot of nuances that i won't go
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: into but that's the new greatest weapon that the united
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: states is going to have moving forward now Everybody talks
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: about the AI stocks and how much they've gone up.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: It is absolutely mind-boggling. They go up 15% a day.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: I wish I would have bought more. I wish I
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: would have bought call options on all of them. But
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: everybody who calls and talks about AI, I wonder how
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: many people are actually using it and how many people
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: are using it like Google search. You can write an
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: email now on your Gmail and hit the little magic
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: wand and it makes your email look fantastic. I think
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: it's a horrible thing because now I don't know if
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: I'm talking to somebody who's educated, somebody who's lazy. You
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: hit the little magic button and it makes your email
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: sound fantastic. But I will tell you, most people aren't
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: using AI in any way, shape, or form to the
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: capacity which it could.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Be used for.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: Everybody's talking about interest rates are too high. I think
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: Ted's completely wrong. I think interest rates probably need to
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: go up. The new Fed chairman who's coming in in
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: a couple weeks, I don't think he's going to lower
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: interest rates. He's probably not going to do a darn
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: thing before the midterms because he doesn't want to look political.
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: But AI is going to do so much for so
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: many people and at the same time so much to
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: hurt people. If you're 20 years old in college and
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: you want to be a lawyer, well, I can go
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: on AI right now and pretty much write what most
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: people in a law degree can do. Now, I don't
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: have 30 years of bench experience. Yeah, if you can
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: graduate with 30 years of law experience, well, you'll probably
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: do pretty well. But these law firms, I don't see
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: them hiring as many people when AI does just as much.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: I don't see a lot of these jobs going forward.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: I've done things with AI that are just mind-boggling. I
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: had to sell raffle tickets. I didn't really want to
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: do it. I went on to AI. It took me
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: about an hour to actually build it. I made a
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: website that linked to a PayPal account so I could
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: just text people the link. They put in how many
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: tickets they want, and it sends me the money. I
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: made a bot that will actually go on and trade
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: stocks for me, and I get an update at the
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: end of the day what it did. The things that
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: you can actually do now are just, it blows your mind,
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: and most people aren't even using it in the right way.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: So much is going to change. So much is what's
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: going on in Iran right now. The amount of AI
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: we're using there, the amount of information not only to
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: win the battlefield, but how much we're learning to help
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: prevent hopefully never having a war with China or anybody else.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: But we're going to be light years ahead of everything.
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: The stock market could go up one day and go
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: down the next day, but if you look at some
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: of these companies, they're just going through the roof. A
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: lot of it makes no sense to me, but I
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: don't know, are we in just a new technological revolution
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: that all these companies are eventually going to be worth
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: $ 10 trillion? I have no clue. Are they going to
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: be worth $ 20 trillion? If we keep printing more money,
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: the numbers don't really matter as much anymore because your
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: dollar's worth less. I have no clue. And now today...
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: You see the White House release all this UFO information.
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: I'm looking at some of them like that looks like
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: a lightning bug going across the top of the ocean.
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: That's not a UFO to me. And then I look
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: at some of these other pictures. I'm like, well, what
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: the heck is that? But now I don't even know
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: what to necessarily trust because AI is so good. I
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: don't know if that image is just some generated AI.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: And if it's the AI I can use, what the
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: heck is the AI the government can use? It's hard
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: to believe anything anymore.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, AI, I think.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: A lot of people use it as far as search
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: engines go and use AI in that sense. But I
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: think there's a learning curve, Alec, when it comes to
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: fully understanding AI and using it as effectively as you
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: and a lot of people do.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: There's a learning curve.
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: You are absolutely right.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: But let me put it this way.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: How do you get good at AI?
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: How do you get good at golf? You keep practicing.
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: It's the same thing with AI. You've got to keep
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: using it, and you just keep getting better and better
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: at it.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Right, but once more and more people do that, I mean,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: there's a learning curve. I think it's going to be huge.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I think it's just going to be phenomenal. And what
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I'm seeing is, and I say this often, they say
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: within three years, you could have 50% fewer white-collar jobs
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: than you have right now in three years or less.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: I'll tell you one of the big concerns I had
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: with AI and actually your show, Ron, because everybody who
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: typically calls in, if you listen to the first hour,
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: I mean, those people are on all the time. You
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: could literally take their voices and make an AI from it,
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: and I could do whatever I want with it. So
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: I actually looked into it, and I pretty much made
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: an audio book. I cloned my voice with AI, and
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: thank goodness that there are actually some safeguards. I read
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: for about a half an hour. It recorded my voice,
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: and I put in a whole text, about 20 minutes
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: of text. And it read it to me like you
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: wouldn't know it was me talking or the AI. And
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: I never said any of these words. But thankfully, after
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: I did the recording, you got to go through click, click, click.
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to use this in this way, this way,
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: that way, which anybody could just say, of course. But
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: then thankfully, after you put in your voice, they have
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: you put a readout that you have to read back
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: to confirm it's your voice. So nobody can record Ted
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: the Conservative or J.J., and just make their voice cloned.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: On your show.
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: So it's actually a very good safeguard that I was
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: curious about and always wondered, because eventually, once this keeps
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: going and people get better at it and understand it,
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: you're going to get a lot of nefarious people that
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: could use this in the very wrong way.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: Amen to that.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: They say that it will get to the point where
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: you won't believe what you see because you won't know
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: if it's real or fake.
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Alec. Appreciate it. Back after this. The 0570 WKVN. Well,
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: here you go. Let's see.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: It says Democrat turnout rebounds in Ohio's 2026 primary election.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Democrat turnout in Ohio's May 5th, 2026 election was higher
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: than it was in 2018 election. Well, Republican turnout was
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: slightly lower. This is a sharp reversal from 2022 when
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Ohioans requested nearly twice as many Republican ballots as Democrat ones.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Isn't that interesting? So Democrat turnout in Ohio was higher
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: than in 2018, while Republican turnout was slightly lower. When
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Ohioans were accosted nearly twice as many Republican ballots. All right. So, well,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: you've got to get Republicans to turn out in the
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: general election. I mean, Republicans have got to turn out.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Then we say, well, it's hard to get them to
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: turn out if Trump isn't on the ballot. There's... Trump
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: doesn't have to be on the ballots. But certainly, where
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: you go as far as midterms, that is very much
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: on the ballots. And where the state of Ohio goes,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: it's unbelievable to me that Amy Acton, who quit as
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: the state's doctor, who couldn't take the pressure and couldn't
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: take the criticism, she quit. And now she says she
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: wants to be the governor? And I just shake my head.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: It's like, really? And... you just sit back and go,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: what the hell is going on? So Republicans got to
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: get out. You got to have a decent turnout.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: You're on the air.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Hey, Ron.
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: You know, interesting point on Amy Acton, that there couldn't
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: have been an Amy Acton's career if Mike DeWine hadn't
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: appointed her. And she was known as an Obama campaign organizer.
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: And that just makes me scratch my head whenever we
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: are growing and growing future Democrat governors within the Republican Party.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: But..
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: The reason I called is I wanted to share with you,
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: because you do a great job of interacting with local politicians,
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: that I found a website called freedomindex.us, and it ranks
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: state representatives based on conservative votes and how they did.
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: Very concise, very brief, to the point. And Tex Fisher
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: got a 78%, which is okay, I guess, on his
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: conservative vote. But what was concerning is, out of 19 issues,
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: he was absent. It said no vote cast 47% of
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: the time. Now, I don't know if those were votes
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: that went up before he was elected. He's been in
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: there for a little while. But I find it very odd,
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: and if he's listening or somebody on his staff, I
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: would love for him to call in and say, is
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: that data correct, that you were absent 47% of the
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: time on some critical votes? And I didn't know if
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: you had anything to add to that or not or
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: if that had come up before in other conversations or not.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: No, it's news to me. I mean, if any of
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: it's accurate, I mean, it's news to me. It depends,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: like you said, on the time frame. So, no, I
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: have absolutely no clue.
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: Yeah, maybe we give them the benefit of the doubt, but.
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: It's free at index.us.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Stand by. I'll come back to you in a minute.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Let me get my headlines out of the way. You
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: can finish your thoughts. Call us in line.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: Stand by. Ron Furb from the Kingdom of Mahoning. News
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: Radio 570. WKVN. All right, let me go back and
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: pick it up with your comments. News Radio 570.
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: Hello?
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes.
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: I was talking about Tex Fisher and some of the
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: missing votes on this website called... It's called freedomindex.us. And
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: there were some critical ones here, some missed opportunities, assuming
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: that he was in office and that he didn't vote 47%
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: of the time. One of them was holding the EPA's
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: final rule on carbon emissions. And obviously, conservatives would say, yes,
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: we want to halt that. Stop the EPA from all
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: of this carbon emission nonsense that's driving to price of
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: vehicles through the roof and all the green energy that
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: came out of Biden and Obama. He didn't show up
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: for that vote or didn't cast a vote. There was
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: also a ban on non-citizen campaign contributions, no vote cast.
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: also a ban on sex mutilation of children that we
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: needed him there, no vote cast, and.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: A few others.
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: So I won't go through them all, but I think
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: it's worth asking him the question. And you did a
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: masterful job whenever he was pushing legislation through about Ohio
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: State games and the time, and he was running for
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: class clown of the Ohio representatives, evidently, with the unkept
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: hair and the clown nose on his face.
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: And I thought that was the.
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: Best 15 minutes of radio in your career when you
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: took him to task for that. So I just wanted
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: to see if you knew anything about it and maybe
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: have the listeners do what I did. I called his
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: office to ask, hey, can you explain this? Maybe there's
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: an explanation for it, but it would be great if
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: he were to call into the Ron Verb Show and
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: give an explanation. Again, it's freedomindex.us. put in text fisher
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: and it shows his voting record on the key votes
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: and he was missing for forty seven percent of them
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: and he even missed even.
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: Voted in uh..
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: The opposite way we needed them to vote on some
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: other votes i mean i guess if i was in
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: school and brought home a report card and said hey
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: mom i got a seventy eight percent that she wouldn't
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: be proud uh... so even when he shows up he's
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: not doing so good so i think voters in the
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: valley need to keep an eye on this to uh..
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: Hold him accountable If it's accurate. All right.
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: If it's accurate.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: There you go. Agreed. Thank you. NewsRadio 570, Dodie Caryon,
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: you're on the air.
• 21:38
  Speaker 8: Hey, Ron.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, listening all week and over the past week and everything.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: And then speaking to my phone today, and Harry Truman
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: was born on this day. And Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: was born on this date. A couple of older guys
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: who had a lot of distrust for the Islamists and
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: didn't like the Nazis and didn't like the communists. Now...
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Today we have a lot of popular people who kind
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: of side with the Islamists, side with the Marxists. Even
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: that show you guys have in the morning, as I
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: was clicking through, they were talking about the red-green alliance
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: between the communists and the Islamists from Cuba to all
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: over the world. We know about... South America and their
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: ties to the Islamists and their ties with the liberation
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: theology and the Catholic Church that was down there and
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: the Marxists. We're all in cahoots together. And now we have... These,
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: I don't.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Know, podcasters, influencers, Megyn Kelly, who you might remember her, Ron,
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: from the debate with Donald Trump in 2016, how nice
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: she was to Donald Trump then, and basically how nice
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: she is now, because I think she's the same person.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: And if anybody took five seconds... to take their phone
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: out of their pocket, stop gambling on their phone, and
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: look at Megyn Kelly. They can see all the times
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: she was on the Tower of Stern and what a
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: classy lady she really is. She's one. We're worried about
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: people not voting and everything, and we get all these
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: messages floating around from I don't know, insane people who
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: are being scratched and mutilated by demons, like Tucker Katarlson. But,
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: you know, he's the guy... Wait, he's the guy who
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: takes money from Islamists? I don't understand, you know, why
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: this following is happening, but... You know, it's like Marjorie
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Taylor Greene. Oh, Marjorie Taylor Greene, you've got to listen
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: to her. She's traipsing around with this entourage of Epstein victims,
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: which any person of goodwill feels bad for the Epstein victims,
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: and they should get their justice. But why doesn't Marjorie
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: Taylor Greene take these young ladies to the police station?
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: Why doesn't she take them to a lawyer to get
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: something done? No, it's just making a show of it,
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: and I guess she's just getting clickbait like all the
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: other ones, the ones who don't like the Christian Zionists
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: more than anyone else. And we wonder why we're not
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: getting a voter turnout. We're a little bit splintered. We're
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: a little bit fractured. And if you're listening to these people,
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: and if you actually pay attention to what they say, oh,
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: like what the New York Times did? Hey, Tucker Katarlson,
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: you said this. Those words have never left my lips. Oops,
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: let's play you saying it. I don't know what we're doing.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know what we're doing here.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: Freedom of speech is one thing. Alex Jones, his whole
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: career was kept in one place. I used to listen
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: to him for the three-quarters of a mile that you
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: could get him out of the station in Meadville. And
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: I listened to it for the entertainment value. Because the
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: guy's insane. And now he's part of the group, I guess.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: And we're supposed to listen to him. And I'm going,
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: what happened? People who said things like all of these
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: morons say... were kept in their place. They had free speech,
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: because Ron always talks about that we have free speech here,
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: and that's great.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: And we should.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: We have to. It's part of our Constitution. Except, like
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: Richard the pharmacist, or Diamond Dave, or the old-timer, or
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: whoever it is that says, hey, yeah, these people need
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: to be settled down, because you keep saying these things.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: It's like the Democrats..
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: Well, no, sit tight for a second.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson has got a huge following as far as
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: his YouTube channel and what he's doing. So does Megyn Kelly.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: A lot of the criticism of them is simply because
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: they have expressed concern over the influence of the Israeli-funded lobbyists,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: and their criticism basically is how influential another country is
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: on our government and how much money they pump into
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: campaigns to try to destroy people who do not support that,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: who do not take those contributions. Marjorie Taylor Greene being
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: one of them, Massey being another one of them. I mean,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: people would probably look at Massey and say they agree
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: with most of the stuff that he does. Massey's the
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: only one that I can think of off the top
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: of my head that is against all foreign aid. We're
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: a country that's $ 40 trillion in debt, and he's been
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: against foreign aid, all foreign aid. Why are we giving
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: billions of dollars to Israel and Egypt and everyone else?
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, so Massey's targeted in this congressional race, I
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: think he's in Kentucky, where he's targeted there with huge
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: millions of dollars pouring in to try to get rid
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: of him because he doesn't take these contributions from the
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Israeli PAC.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: But you just said that because..
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: Go ahead.
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: So..
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson and these people are expressing their opinions. Keep
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: in mind, Tucker Carlson was on stage endorsing Trump, and
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of his earliest supporters. As
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: you're talking, Trump's got a lot of qualities about him
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: that are not admirable. I mean, his attacks the other day,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: his attack on Bill Maher, some of the stuff that
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: he was saying about Bill Maher, I just thought was
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: uncalled for. The stuff that he says about low IQ
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson and Marjorie.
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: Well, he hung up. I don't know. He hung up.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: And Marjorie Taylor Greene, some of this stuff just is
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: totally uncalled for. So I don't know what the motivation
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: of Trump is on some of this stuff. You have
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: a right to question these things and be concerned about
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: the influence of foreign money and lobbyists on decisions your
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: country is making. And if you express concern over that,
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: as Massey does, and Marjorie Taylor Greene did, I mean,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Trump turned on Trump turned on these people because they
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: they did not agree with him on the Epstein situation.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, when you bring this stuff up, I sit
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: back and sit back and take a look. Well, Trump
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: was all about releasing all the Epstein files.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: And then.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: For some reason, he he did a 180. Are you
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: still talking about that? That's old news. When he told
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: that reporter, he did a complete 180. Well, people are saying, well,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: wait a minute. We voted for him because there's a
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: double standard of justice here. These files should be released
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: and people have a right to know. And some people say, well,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: this could hurt somebody.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: Of my friends. We don't care.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: People are more concerned about the victims and people are
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: more concerned about the double standard of justice. And they're saying,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: why did you change all of a sudden on these
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Epstein files? then people are saying, well, what happened here?
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: You were against regime change and getting bogged down in
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: these situations in the Middle East, and all of a
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: sudden you're engaged in this situation with Iran. And how
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: much of that was influenced by Israel? So they attack
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: these people because they're asking, These questions, I'm all for
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: people asking questions. I'm not, I didn't support Joe Biden
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: attacking people asking questions about COVID or the vaccine or
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: its origins. I want to go back to those days where, well,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: we can't, where they'd go to the social media outlets
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: and try to ban people from expressing their thoughts and
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: their opinions because it didn't agree with the administration's thoughts
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: and opinions. Well, I didn't like it then and I
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: don't like it anymore if Trump's trying to do it.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: And there's many people that are Trump supporters. I mean,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene being two of them, and
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: he just attacks them and belittles them like that because
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: they disagree with him on Epstein and they disagree with
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: him on this war. Doesn't matter that they agree with
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: him on 98% of the other stuff he's doing, but
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: because of those two issues now, they're low IQ and
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: he insults them like that. Well, I think that turns
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of people off. And I think it turns
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: a lot of his voters off. And you do the
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: same thing against Massey and Kentucky. to where you're endorsing
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: the guy running against him. And Massey didn't take any
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: money from the Israeli lobbyist and has a very conservative
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: voting record. I mean, it's bizarre when you see him
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: sometimes turn on some of his best supporters. I mean,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: it's hard to justify any of that. So there are
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: people that ask those questions. Why the 180 on Epstein?
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Why the 180 on the Middle East situation? Why the
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: 180 on Marjorie Tedder Green was there for you from
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: day one and campaigning for you? Now she's a traitor.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Tucker was there working for you. Now he's low IQ.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: And I'm trying to think of the other ones. I mean,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: there's nothing about that that I think is admirable. You
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: have a right to disagree with the guy on these issues.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: and still like his presidency overall. I don't think any
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: one of those people would vote for Kamala Harris or
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: the Democrat. I think Massey's a pretty impressive figure in Congress.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I hope he wins re-election when you see that much
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: money pouring into that district to try to defeat a guy.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: I wish Marjorie Taylor Greene would not have resigned. I
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: wish she would have finished out her term, and quite frankly,
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: I wish she would have run for re-election. I understand
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: she was concerned for her safety. And so there are
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: many thoughts that you could have about that situation. And
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: I don't find anything admirable about Trump doing that kind
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: of stuff against those people, any of them.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: You're on the air.
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: My psychiatrist said if I ever feel lonely and depressed
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: to call this number.
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: Yes, Dr. Verb here. I'm here for you if you're
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: lonely and depressed. Advice to the lovelorn as well.
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: Well, he said you'll realize that it could get worse.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: Absolutely. When you're done talking to me, you'll realize how
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: lucky you got it.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I am.
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: Hey, was that Jake that was talking?
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I saw the thing on Tucker where they're interviewing him,
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: and they showed him a clip of him saying something,
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: and he just completely lied about it.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: I don't remember saying that.
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: That never came out of my mouth. I think that was,
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: Tucker went off the rails a little bit somewhere along
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: the line, I think.
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: Well, he just disagrees with some of the stuff that
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: Trump was doing.
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: I know, but they showed, you know, unless it's AI
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: video of him saying stuff, they showed like a couple
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: clips and he denied saying that. So I don't know
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: if he thinks that, you know, AI is going to
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: cover for him or what.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: No, I don't know.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I must confess I haven't seen it. And I don't
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: know what's– that's one of the biggest problems with AI.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: I would have to see it to see if it's
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: for real. But they say AI will reach a point
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: where you won't be able to believe what you see.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: And we shall see if that's the case. And things
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: can be taken out of context. So I don't know.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen that particular situation. But I think Tucker
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Carlson is a smart person, and I think he has–
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of insight into things. And I think Trump
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: attacking him speaks poorly of Trump or attacking Marjorie Taylor green.
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: What are you doing?
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Attacking your earliest supporters that help you get elected because
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: they disagree with you on Epstein. Listen, I I'm against
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: the double standard of justice.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: Aren't you?
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: I think everything with Epstein should be released. And he
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: reversed himself. I mean, one day in a blink of
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: an eye, remember is, Oh, that's old news. What are
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: you talking about that before? I mean, he totally changed
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: on that, and he totally changed on his situation in
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: the Middle East. I'm against regime changes and forever wars
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: in the Middle East and that kind of stuff. And
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of people are saying, did he do this,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: or was he directed this way as a result of
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: the influence of Israel?
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: Well, it's okay to ask those questions. It's not a sin.
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 35:37
  Speaker 7: But, I mean, Trump, it goes back to the walking
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: a mile in his shoes. I mean, he grew up
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: in a totally different world.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Stand by, stand by. It's the unknown caller. I'll be
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: back with him in a minute. It's a 452. Ron
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Verb from the Kingdom of Mahoney on another overcast day
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: and 54 degrees.
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: To listen now, 570 WKBN. All right, back to it.
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: Go ahead with your comments.
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I was talking about, you know, walking a mile
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: in Donald Trump's shoe. I mean, he grew up in
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: the real estate jungle, so there's probably people coming after
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: him all the time. So he had to, like, learn
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: a defensive mechanism, so that's probably what happened to him. But, hey,
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: John Arnold's show last night was great. I thought I
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: was very interested in that show.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: I think it's a really good, interesting program. He's always
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: wanted to start his own hedge fund. That's what he's doing,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: and it doesn't launch, I think, until May 15th, and
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: only 100 people will be in it. There's financial criteria
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: to get in it, so it eliminates..
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: I heard the criteria. I will not be one of
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: the 100.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: But on the AI subject, though, he was saying that, yeah,
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: there's not going to be any... No need to go
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: to college because AI is going to take all the
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: mental jobs. But a great point he made was the
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: fact that, you know, all these people going to be
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: plumbers and welders and stuff, who's going to pay them?
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: Because nobody's working.
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: So his bleak observation of the next 10 years where...
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: you know, the economy is going to go flat, was
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: kind of terrifying.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: No, he said he expressed genuine concern, just as Elon
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Musk has, over what AI can do to the..
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: The economy.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Well, they say within three years, 50% of the white-collar
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: jobs will go away to AI. You lost 9,000 or
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: 10,000 the other day with Meta. Facebook wiped out 9,000
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: or 10,000 jobs replaced by AI. And what they're saying
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: is in three years, 50% of white-collar jobs will be gone. Okay,
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: so now the argument is what are all those people
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: supposed to do? They're pretty decent jobs, probably making a
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: good buck. How are they going to survive and survive?
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: John's basically was saying about the trickle-down effect. If that
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: person doesn't have money, then they're not building a new home.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: They're not renovating the bathroom.
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: And what have you.
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, which I thought was a great point. But AI,
• 38:11
  Speaker 7: how about Alec? Was that really him that called in
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: today or no?
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: I don't know. That's a good question, but..
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: That's why you said, well, this deal with Tucker, that's
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: the problem they say with AI. You won't know what
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: to believe what you see. It will make you question
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: what you see, whether it's true or false, because AI
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: will be so good you won't know, did President Trump
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: actually say that or didn't he say that? That kind
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: of stuff. And that's what they say will be the
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: problem with AI. You won't believe it even when you
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: see it with your eyes.
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: That's a terrifying world, though, if you think about it.
• 38:49
  Speaker 7: It's going to be like everybody's in a nursing home
• 38:52
  Speaker 7: at this point.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: Pretty much. I mean, it's troubling what is ahead.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: And the stuff I'm reading says it's greatly underestimated, not overestimated,
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: how good AI is going to be at a lot
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: of this stuff. I mean, we're sitting here today saying
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: this is just hard to imagine any of this stuff happening.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: But they say it's underestimated and it's going to be,
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: I mentioned that type of job loss within three years.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: So we're not talking 10 years, three years. So it
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: can be a big problem. There's people that are arguing,
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: why are we letting anybody into our country, illegal or
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: legal at this point? when we can see this tsunami
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: that's coming as far as employment is concerned? We should
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: probably stop all immigration in the country, legal and illegal,
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: at this point until we see what's ahead here.
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I heard like, I don't know if it's Google,
• 39:47
  Speaker 7: I don't want to, you know, step on anybody's toes,
• 39:50
  Speaker 7: but I heard, like, there was a Google machine that
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: actually made itself better. They went from, like, you know,
• 39:57
  Speaker 7: Google 3.
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: To Google 5.
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah.
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: Hey, what about the UFO stuff?
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: Stand by.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: I'll let you finish your thoughts after my break at 5,
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: and then I'll be right back.
