Hope you're enjoying it on News Radio 570 WKBN. So I know... I'm most certainly enjoying it. Okay. I'm inside the house right now. I can't enjoy it that much if I'm in here, huh? Well, you can enjoy it by looking out the window, and it doesn't mean because you're inside you're not enjoying the day. You can go out and enjoy it a little bit later. It doesn't mean you have to be out.

coal-producing plants, which would be very expensive to build today. That was their goal. And they didn't have anything to replace the power generation of that plant. They didn't think that through to say, well, this is going to pick up that load. They didn't care. It was a green energy deal. As a result of moves like that. Just hear me out. As a result of moves like that, and whether you like it or not, Trump has stopped. The order from Trump now is you cannot tear any of these coal plants down. But as a result of tearing these plants down, not having anything to replace it, the war on coal. That you then, of course, demand going up with data centers and what have you. The price of electricity has gone up because you've created a supply and demand and a shortage issue all at the same time because of this. Now all of a sudden, it's okay. Even these green energy people, like Bill Gates in that, now they realize that they need these data centers and they'll make a ton of money from it. These green energy people all of a sudden are for coal plants. They're for nuclear power. They're for fossil fuels because the people were against it are now for it because that's what they need to run their facilities, whether it's Facebook or Google or whoever it might be. I'm not making this stuff up. I'm just saying if you take a look at it, that's why. you're paying more. I'm not any happier than you are. My electric rate has doubled. That's why it has doubled, and it very well will go up even higher because the supply and demand issue continues to, they bid on this stuff, continues to go up. My concern is, I share the concern with you. I am concerned about having affordable. utilities for people. I dwell on it every day that you've listened. I am sitting here. I'm not screwing with you. I'm genuinely, genuinely give a damn about even the people who can't stand me who get tired of me. I'm here every day trying to do something that lower people's property taxes. successfully getting some things done every day trying to point out why we have this problem so people understand it so they don't go voting for this stuff in the future there's ramifications to it and that john carrie said the great john carrie the democrat he thought we should live like they do in europe where they don't have all this air conditioning and stuff. Of course, he wouldn't live like that in his mansion. He was talking about the rest of us, me and the rest of the peasants out there shouldn't have central air and enjoy the comfort in our home. And they are reaching a point by increasing these rates to where people will get electric bills and think twice before they turn on their air conditioning. Or instead of turning it on 72, we'll turn it on 74 because it's so damn expensive.

Now, I'm genuinely concerned that people have affordable electricity, and I sit here and I say this to you. I'm against these people who want to shut the coal plants down because at the same time, you can't put all your eggs in one basket. So if they shut a coal plant down, and let's say we have two natural gas plants now at Lourdes Town. Anytime you build a energy plant that uses natural gas, the demand for natural gas goes way up. So you're going to catch a, because you don't have the diversity of hydro, nuclear, and coal, you're putting it all on natural gas. You're going to get screwed with high electric rates in addition to high natural gas rates. So it would cost you more to heat your house. It would cost you more to turn the lights on. And these are basic necessities that are going up beyond a rate that people can afford. I understand that, but I'm trying to explain it to you why this has happened. And I'm trying to say, if you're listening to when Dave Thomas is on, what are they doing to try to prevent this from getting worse? Oh, we've changed the energy policy. So where they're making it easier to build these plants and what have you. But it takes years to build this stuff that we should have never ripped down in the first place. I'm not trying to be an ass with you. I'm not trying to say. It's all about politics, but in some cases, it is about politics and bad decisions people have made. I am man enough to sit here to you, and I have respect for you. You know that. And say to you, I support Trump. I voted for Trump three times. And I think overall he's doing a decent job. But I think Trump is dead ass wrong with this war in Iran. And I think it was a major mistake from day one. I think it's a giant mess. And it could cost us dearly as far as oil prices, gasoline, energy, and inflation. But I won't cover his ass or act like it didn't happen. As we go along, if it gets worse in July and August, I'll put the blame right at his feet for the decision he made because he deserves that blame if it materializes like that. I'm not going to sit here and say, oh, because I voted for him or as a Republican, I can't do that. I'm not, no. I'm not a cheerleader. So you stay tuned. I'm critical to Trump today and continue to be over this war situation and the mess he got this country in. And I don't think it's working out very good at the present time. I hope I'm wrong when the dust settles. I'm afraid that you can see an oil shortage. I'm afraid that you can see more expensive oil. as we get into June and July to where it could go well beyond $120 a barrel and put a hurt on everybody. So I'm not going to be like you and say, well, you can't make it about politics because if that happens, it is about politics. It's about what he did. I rest my case, Your Honor. Well, evidently, quite obvious.

You have, and I probably shouldn't have brought it up in the first place because you're very well versed because you went on there for 10 minutes about Ohio Edison and the energy and all this. Just trying to let you know why prices went up. That's all I'm trying to do. I'm not an expert on it. I never was. All I see, the person that I am is that. this administration, and the Republicans will not admit to it. I admit to it. That's what I'm trying to. And I just heard you say about Trump and how you're, I get it. I understand. Okay. Have you listened to me? The mag is out there. They are going to believe until the day they die. Well, okay. Back on the Capitol was just a walk in the park. Listen. Listen, listen for a second. I'm not a fan of Mike DeWine. If you agree to that, then I should probably not even call your show. Seriously. Because let me put it this way. Well, you keep going back on stuff. Listen, I am. If you're not going to, if you're not going to, if the Republican Party is not going to live by the rules. that the rest of us live by, then I have to break the rules to make sure you confirm to the rules of this country. Does that make any sense? No. Okay, well, think about it. Think about what I just said, because it does. If you are going to, not you, if the Republican Party is going to continue down the path of lies, deceitfulness, and trying to. country with everybody under their thumb and turn it into a third world nation, then I'm going to have to do something, meaning the other side is going to have to do something to make that party conform and get around to what the laws and regulations that we have been used to in this country for the past 250 years. Are those laws that we're used to over 250 years laws about having women or men in women's locker rooms? Are those the laws you're referring to? No, are those the laws that you talk about for 250 years that means an open border and everybody can walk in? Are those the laws? Bring that up because I bet you don't even know one person that is LBGTQ or whatever it's called. I'll bet that you don't even know. one person that is gay. Yes, I do. Okay, so you do. But so what? That is not a, that is, you bring that up, that's just a talking point. No, it's not a talking point. There are people that the Democratic Party is siding in that direction. They are. They are not signing it. They most certainly are. 95% of Democrats, that same question, and they'll say you're nuts. They are the ones championing it with the whole nonsense. I haven't heard anybody talk about that. Okay.

In months. That is where the party is. They stand for it today. They're the party of the transgenderism. They're the party of you can wish yourself a woman. Men can have babies. They can't even define a woman. You put forth a candidate on the Supreme Court that won't even answer what a woman is. They don't even want to call a mother a mother. They don't want to say boys and girls. That's your party. Suck it up. That's your party. I can sit here and say to you. You lack the ability. I can sit here and say to you, I agree with the court that Trump's name should have ever been on the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Center. I can sit here and say to you, I think this was a mistake Trump getting into this war. I can sit here and say to you there are things about Trump that bother me when he turns on his fellow supporters and some of the stuff that he does. Because I'm not a cheerleader like you. I don't have blinders on like you. I can criticize the guy I voted for even though I'd vote for him again because overall I agree with what he's doing. But I consider and criticize the stuff I don't agree with. And if he creates all this inflation, we'll certainly be talking about it. But you lack the ability. You lack the ability to admit your party is into the freaky social stuff. I don't think I want to ask anything more. I think I've had enough of you. I don't want to talk to you anymore. Yes, you do. Maybe I... What else besides men can't have babies? No, they can't. What else do you want me to say? I'm just trying to... You are... Listen, you are a staunch Democrat. Yes, you are. You're staunch Democrat. You go to the No King's Rally. You are, I am going to, I am going to secretly, secretly send the boss lady down undercover to the next No Kings Rally. I'm going to have her dress undercover. Oh, that's good, yeah. To try to, uh, to try to film you at the No Kings Rally. Can I just pay me to go there? Unfortunately, no, you actually went there on your own, which is hard for me to imagine. I mean, first of all, a guy your age driving is very troubling to me. All right. A guy my age. What does that have to do with it? Well, you probably shouldn't be on the road. You should probably be Ubering at your age. I'm sure when you drove down there, I'm sure when you drove down there, you drove 45 miles an hour in the left-hand lane of the freeway. 45 miles an hour. All right, have a good day. Bye. Listening. Youngstown's News, Weather, and Talk Station, 570 WKBN. News Radio 570 WKBN, Ron Furb. All right, so we'll do whatever. 424 in the afternoon. You're on here. I tell you what, every time I listen to that guy, I want to go to my utility drawer and pull out some knives, Ron. That guy's pumped out, man.

I mean, I don't know if it's Trump or anything since it was something, but you're right. They destroyed our ability to make electricity, and it is political because they did it. Obama, Clinton, and the rest of them, you know? And so, don't forget, don't forget, oh, Biden, as you call them. Why I call him Biden because he's just following Obama's rules? You know, he's like to be in councilbound, you know? Mm-hmm. Yeah, so anyhow, I was nice to hear beneath. Very uplifting, very positive. And I'm glad she's moving forward where there are eight counties or nine counties, okay? And so, so like I say, the guardians did great. They actually beat the Yankees, although you didn't have their number one star at your phone. He got a bruised bone. So he was in it. So they won 9-4, and they're playing the night at 7. He gets who's pitching the night, Ron? Who's pitching? What? It's going to be a great game. Well, it's enjoyable to listen to and it's enjoyable to follow. I mean, it really is. Don't you love Tom or Hamilton? Yes. Yes, I do. Oh, my God, man. You want to jump out of your chair? It just relaxes me. I mean, it just relaxes me, which is. Which I need, you know, so he gives me a chance to just listen to him call a game. And I just find it personally very relaxing and enjoyable. Well, you know, after three hours of what, you've got to listen to hell, I can't lift you to things anymore. I turn it on and I hear people talking. I'm like, you've got to be kidding me. I'm feeling really bad for you, Ron. I shut it off, you know. I'm glad you do. I'm glad you feel bad for me. Somebody should feel bad for me. I'm proud Hamilton, Cushua Bruce. Yes, absolutely. And so do you, Baba Ginoos, just so you know. No, I know. You tell me that all the time. I know. Hey, just like you know, Trump knows what he's doing. That's all I've got to say. And I talk to people that don't like Trump, they like Trump. And all of them say, nobody knows what he's doing. I said he knows what he's doing. Okay. I just want to say that. So, Frank, I'm sorry, sir, but you're stuck with it. All right. Thank you, Bubba Ginoosh. You're on here. Well, holy catfish. I've never heard anybody. That guy was something else, Ron? Oh, man. Boy, that wasn't nice. Yeah, the Guardians did good. I agree with Bugler's good news. You can't beat Tom Hamilton. No, you can't. The best, didn't it? Yes, he is the best. The best. He is. And it's good. I'm glad to see it. I'm glad to see it. Well, and I'm better. The Browns will be okay, maybe. Maybe. But I'll still root for him. I know. I know.

You know, you change things, and it's going to be okay, I think. At least, I believe. Have a good day, buddy. Thank you. News Radio 570 W. Kvi, and you're on here. Hello, line three. You wouldn't know what line you're on anyway. I do because I can see it in front of me. You go back on hold. Let's see here. You're on here. Hello. You got to pay attention. You go back and hold. You're on ear. Ron, you are an artist blood boiler. I mean... It's a guru from Gerard. We'll come back with him after the break at 430. He is the guru from Gerard.

All right, the guru from Gerard. Hello. Hi, I was just singing, we're talking, you're listening to 570. WKVN. Ron, may I share a memory with you? Yes. That was sparked by your volley with Fifth Avenue. Yes. Which is why I called you a class. I mean, just you're a class act blood boiler. Okay.

So this is about the week before Trump got elected the second time. And as I did on the first one, I had the feeling he was going to get elected for the second time. And I'm sitting at my dining room table. There are two college graduates in the area of counseling and another brilliant student. And they're related to me, two or three are related to me. And they're having a conversation as clear as day, like as serious as it can be, about what they're studying in school, about how all these, like trying to justify what LVTQ is and LBTQ plus. And, you know, and we were actually, I was paying for this, right? And, and then I... And by the way, this is at a time when I was going through and being injected with all kinds of drugs and everything. And as I'm listening to this, I said to myself, okay, God, I've seen enough. I'm ready to go. Okay? I literally said that to myself, okay? Which now I'm glad I didn't see. But I looked at these kids and I said, I don't mean to tell you what to do. Well, I said what I say, everything you're discussing right now is not going to matter in a week.

And sure as could be, all of it just disappeared. For Fifth Avenue to say that Democrats don't do that and didn't do that. I mean, we've got a lot of people around here that are like normal Democrats, not all like that, but all those people in charge in the Democrats, that's all they were doing and talking to people at the educational level when they were having huge impact. I mean, think about that. They were teaching that to, like, college-educated people are going to be in charge of people. It was so on the edge of being dangerous to our society that I was just, I seriously said to myself, okay, God, I've seen enough. I'm ready to go. Really? You reminded me of that, yes. You reminded me of that as I was like listening to him in denial about that. Now, I'm not saying anything about anybody else or, you know, that nobody's at fault. Like you said, if somebody's an idiot, I'll call him an idiot if I think they're an idiot. But that was just crazy dangerous to be brainwashing all of our children and everything into this contrived. stuff that is so far from physical reality that it just made no sense at all. It's almost like trying to get everybody to use solar panels so the big corporations could actually use all the energy that we make, and we'd all be stuck with the solar panels. Yes. You follow me? I'm listening to every word you're saying. You know, I mean, it was crazy. I just... Do you remember that time period? Absolutely, I remember it. I mean, it wasn't that long ago. I mean, people have hard time. Listen, as I've said a million times, you know, as well as anyone as a listener, I'm not here to cheerlead for anybody. I don't care if they're Republican or Democrats. I think Mike DeWine is God-awful as a governor with the cover-up that's going on with all of this fraud. I like when I talk, do you think that because if you're a conservative that I can make a justification for Mike DeWine with the fraud that's taking place and his lack of taking action on it? Do you think I can support Mike DeWine by giving a sales tax break to the data centers? I think that stuff's ridiculous. What am I supposed to sit here and say, oh, if you're a Republican, you better not criticize a Republican for doing that type of Astine stuff, or I'm not supposed to sit here and criticize something that I disagree with Trump on? Well, then you're a phony. Then you're a fraud. Then you're nothing, then I don't know what the point is. I mean, I can disagree with Trump on some issues, but I still think he's a far better choice than anything the Democrats have. Far better. I mean, I think the Republicans have better choices. I think Ron DeSantis would make a great president. I think he's a terrific governor. I think we just got more bench strength in the Republican Party than the wackos and the Democrat Party in their wacky agenda. Period. I mean, would I vote for Amy Acton for governor? Absolutely not.

Do you know why I think Ron's verb should be governor or senator? Why? I don't know if you remember our last conversation, but you asked me if we should put the data centers in right now. And I said, no, because they are not, they are not collecting taxes from them. And you remember that? I don't know. A lot of people talked to you, but that was my response. Do you know two days later? The governor came out and revoked that and started saying they were going to. I mean, do you think he listens? I don't know. But you're pretty powerful and you don't realize it. And I think there's, so I would love to see you, you know, put down the microphone just for that reason. Other than that, you can just stay here and drive us all crazy for the rest of the night. But listen, Michael. There's a time is ticked by. Listen, I sincerely and greatly appreciate that. That means a lot coming from you. But let me put it this way to you. At 68 years of age. This is it. You know what I'm saying? Are you kidding me? No. You're a rookie. You're like a honeymoon or there. No. When I'm done, I'm done. At some point, life does run out. And, you know, you're going to think of how you could be corrupted, my friend, and make so much money and change everything you think of within a year. I just, listen. Think of how you could do that. That'd be so fun. I think that sometimes I look at, well, I just appreciate that. I appreciate that a great deal. But if I was a younger man, as they would say, that would be a possibility. I told you when you were younger. I said the same thing when you were younger. You wouldn't listen. You remember. Some people will talk to you, but I'll go back and find the tape. Damn you, please run. I support you. I've said this. I don't know how many times. I know. Come on. There's not much time left. Set it down. Well, you would know better than... And get down to Washington or Columbus. You would know better than anyone because you almost faced the end, right? You never know. What do they say? God laughs when he hears you make plans. Every day counts, though. Every day does counts. You've got a few to get to come on. Promote G2. Get some signs going. And you'll get elected, Ron. You will get elected. You'll be like that, what's his name, the guy running for L.A. Mayor. You know what I mean? Yeah. You will be. You will. Yeah. You know, you mean a lot to me, and I appreciate it, buddy. I do. Did you get to get the paint? Get the paint brush and get busy. Yeah, I got a little more to do. Hey, I'm glad you're still amongst us, all right? Yep. I appreciate it. The guru from Gerard. Michael, thank you. All right. Let's see. You're on here.

Ron? Yes. How are you feeling today? It's the boss lady on the end of the line. I am fine. Thank you, boss lady. I am. See it now. You're... and your life is, you feel like very, like, relaxed today for a counseling session today, but you've dispatched me to a No Things rally again. Well, I'm just, I'm saying a Fifth Avenue goes. I'm over here trying to make sure you're okay. Yeah, you would have to be like in a camouflage outfit. You'd have to go undercover, and he's got a very distinguishable voice, and we know he's an older guy, and you would have to, you would have to. try to track him down and then throw a net over him and take him for counseling. Can't we get JJ to do this? Unfortunately, probably we could, but that's probably not. We probably could. JJ help me. Can't you do this for me? That's, that's, we'll let it slide. We'll let it slide, but who knows? We are, we are going to be collecting signatures. I will be with. Mark collecting signatures at four seasons on Sunday. So if anybody has not signed the petition yet. Four seasons flea markets? Yep, at the flea market. What's up with all of these people going to these flea markets? They're packed. Really? Well, I like to go. I forget about it, honestly. But then when Mark brought it up to me, I was like, well, yeah, of course we need to go back. But they're packed. I like to get my fruit and vegetables from there. This is the weirdness. I mean, you know, I got to say that I've never had some desire to go to a flea market. But yet, whenever my wife says, hey, you want to go to Meyer with me, I always say, absolutely. And I'm like, and I'm like in the Austin Town Meyer store. I'm like, I'm loving this. Loving this. That's where people can spot you? No, no. You just need to stand inside in the vegetable section? No, because, yeah, because I keep on going like a bullet because. The problem, well, I just go in and get what, I just follow her and just say, okay, can I get this? What do you think about this? What do you think about that? No, no, no, no. You're like a little kid in the store, is what I hear. Well, you can't get her, you can't get any Dr. Pepper. No, I'm off the pop all together. I've, I've just. No, I tell everybody. I, now she gets upset. See, folks, I go, here's my M.O. When I go to, when I go to Meyer, I go in the door in Austin Town and I go directly to the back wall. I now, my wife thinks it's insane. I buy. pre-made, unsweetened iced tea that is just filtered water and tea. That's the only ingredients in it. It's made by, you buy a gallon of it. It's from Milos. It's in the back cooler. My paddick. Milos, and I go right to the back. I grab one or two of those. And they, and they were four bucks a gallon. Now it's 420. The inflation. It's going up to 420. Right. And I get that. Right. I get that because.

I don't drink any pop anymore. And she says to me, you know, I make iced tea and I could make that for 50 cents. And I said, yeah, but I'd rather buy it here in this jug. And I'd just like the taste of it. That's it. You know what I mean? This is what happens. This is, like you going to the flea markets in four seasons flea markets, you can see live and in person, the boss lady. When is that going to be Sunday? Sunday 9 to noon. Yep, we'll be there to collect signatures. And I don't, I think somebody, did Denise call in and say about the announcement on Friday? Okay. Yeah, so we'll learn on Friday. We, you know, we're just going until we're told Scott, in case we don't have the number, we'll just keep collecting. So Sunday, June 7th, 9 to noon, you will find us at the four-season flea market if you want to sign. You can sign from any county. So we can collect and take your signatures, whether you're from Mahoning County, Trumbull County, Columbia. And it doesn't matter what county you're in as long as you haven't signed before. And you're registered to vote. Why don't you set up a little stand there and sell some homemade blankets that you knitted together or something? I don't knit, Ron. Okay. Okay, here's another. Celebrate your Italian heritage and have a spaghetti stand right there. Oh, that's too much work, Ron. That's a lot of work. All right. I'm running out ideas, folks. I can't. I don't want to do, no, we're just going to do some signatures. I'll say hi. Hi. Do you want to sign our petition? And hopefully people will sign. I mean, Denise has done such a great job in Mahoning County. We don't. But the point is, is you can sign from every county, and they do get a lot of traffic from elsewhere. Like, people come out from everywhere. Now, I really admire Denise and all she's done, so I admire you and all you're doing. Why? And now you're going to take a Sunday afternoon and you're going to go spend three or four hours doing that. What motivates you to do something like that? I mean, to give up your time to go say, I'm going to go do this. Well, I mean, if we don't do it, who's going to do it, right? I mean, there's only a handful of people that are willing to do it. So you got to... And we want it to abolish. We want it to abolish because we know we can... pay for it another way, and we know that it's not a money problem. It's a spending problem and a fraud problem. Now, do you think you'll ever run for an office? Do you think, because like I sit here and I say, well, she should run for commissioner. I mean, I think you do a really good job. I'm not saying that you quit your job that you have, and I wouldn't want you to do that because obviously you're doing well. But, I mean...

you could quit it down the line, but I mean, did you ever, you should give that some consideration. I think you would do a really good job. I'm a big fan of Richie Pharmacist. I'd be a big fan of the boss lady. I would love to see, well, G2, he'd have to be presidents. He couldn't be anything lower than that. But, uh, G2. Yeah. We could make him president. Right. But, uh, That would mean he would have to come out of his secret bunker and is on a disclosed location. I think you'd be very uncomfortable with that. But, yeah, you could, you should give it some consideration when all these people talk, you know, while you still got a few good years left. Yeah, you know, I've thought about it. My, my, yeah, what's hard for me is I don't like all the. Oh, yeah. I don't like all the shmoot, the party smoothing, the this and then that, right? And that's, I would want just grassroots support. You don't want the phoniness of it. Like, you see all these people. I hate that dog and pony show. I just can't get into it. And I have to be passionate, enthusiastic about it. That part is just so unattractive to me. I'm in total agreement with you. Have you noticed when, with the last primary, you see all these people, hey, I'm down here at this event that I normally would never be at, but I'm here acting like I'm loving it here because I'm trying to get these people to vote for me. Once you get elected, you never go back to it unless it's time to get reelected. Standby. It's the boss lady on News Radio 570, W. KBN. 452, I'll get back to her right after this. News Radio 570, WKBN. See, boss lady, I agree with you. All of the nonsense, like I said, in the last primary you see these people, I'm at this meeting. I never go here, but I'm going here because I'm running for office and I want to act like I want to be here and get these people to vote for me. And then they would never go there if they weren't running for office. There's a phoniness about it all. And there is. Oh, it's so unattractive and it's just so phony fake. And obviously I'm just very real and very down to earth. I approach business the same way. I talk to my employees the same way. And I don't know if, you know, I could, I'm ready. I could be ready. I could do those roles. Yes. But I don't know if the county is ready for what I would bring, right? And that would be the concern. I'd be interested. But my focus has been on, you know, budgeting, taxpayers, just common sense, day-to-day government. So it's really not about me. It's really about whether the people of the county are ready for that kind of leadership and approach. And sometimes I think they are. A lot of times I think they're not because then you look at some of the ways that they're voting on. Right. You know? No, you're 100% right. But see, that's real. What you said is absolutely real. I mean, I would almost snicker at these people acting like they're happy to be at these gatherings. And I thought, once again, you're there because you're seeking votes. You'd not be there if you weren't running for office. Everybody's great. What a great gathering and this kind of stuff. And it's just, it's like a popularity contest. So no, I'm.

I'm with you, I'm with you 100%. But even if you didn't go to the fish fry, I would still vote for you, just so you know. Thank you. All right. Thank you, boss lady. Sorry, Ron. Have a good night. I'd still, I think she'd do an excellent job. There's some people when you talk to them, you say, boy, you know, they'd do a really good job, but they don't like some of the nonsense of politics, too. And I get it. I get it. All right. Don't touch that dial. Ron Furb from the Kingdom of Mahoning. More to come. From ABC News, I'm Michelle Franzen. President Trump maintains that Iran wants to finalize a deal, even as the Pentagon confirmed it shot down Iranian drones attempting to attack U.S. forces in Kuwait. The president brushing off concerns it could jeopardize the ceasefire. You know, I'd say in that part of the world, ceasefires when you're shooting. in a more moderate matter. ABC Selena Wang has more on rising tensions and a war that is dragging into a fourth month. The president said this was going to be a four to six week war. We have way blown past that deadline. We're in this tenuous ceasefire, yet the U.S. and Iran continued to exchange fire, not to mention the president for weeks now has been saying that we're close to a deal with Iran, but we have seen lots of whiplash starts and stops. Primary races across states yesterday, including California, results. For the top two candidates in the mayoral race in L.A. are still being tallied. ABC's political director, Avery Harper has more. When you look at the vote count, and at last check, Karen Bass was at about 35% of the vote. Spencer Pratt was just behind her at about 30. And then that progressive councilwoman, Nithya Raman, she was at about 22% of the vote. There's a little bit of a cork in California in that votes will still be counted as long as they are postmarked by Election Day and they are received within 6%. seven days of election day. So it could be a while before we actually know who is going to go up against Karen Bass. The governor's race is also still undecided in that state. New details and the hours long standoff at a bank in Bakersfield, California that ended in the death of a suspect who said he had a bomb.
