The Ron Verb Show - 5pm Hour Tuesday, 08/04/26

verb on news radio 570 wkv and so good to be with you thanks for your patience 506 news radio 570 wkvn welcome to a tuesday afternoon and nice to be back with you after a couple days off it's 87 degrees the sun is shining in my neck of the woods and uh some patient callers we appreciate that you're on ear hey how you doing ron i'm doing well thank you for calling Well, thank you for coming back. I wanted to share something with you because I think this will help to answer some questions for me. I was scrolling through Facebook and I got some reels from this. I don't know what this company or person or whatever. And it's called Tanyaqa Lab. Okay. And I'll spell it later. But basically, it talks about, like, what's going on with the war and geopolitical stuff. I think it's powered by AI and a lot of things make sense. And it speaks very plainly, takes one particular thing at a time, and explained it. For example, they were talking about Iran. And we wonder, why is Iran, say, yeah, we want a deal. No, we're not going to make a deal. Yeah, we want a deal. Well, basically, it said that Iran is also government, someone like America, that is fighting against itself. They've got the hardliners who, you know, want to have the Ayatollah and prop him up and everything and are part of the Royal Guard. And then you have moderates. Now, moderates want to stabilize the economy, and if it's stabilized and they figure they'll get the power. So basically the two of them are fighting there for power. And the reason that the Royal Guard is so adamant about not having peace is because they do all this black market and smuggling and everything else to the tune of about $30 billion. So they've got an empire that's built on Iran having sanctions. If there ends up being peace, their whole business model falls apart. So they are going back and forth there because, again, because money. But, you know, when I thought about it, it makes sense.

Why would they say, yeah, we want to, then the next, we want to have peace, or we want to talk, and we're not going to talk. And it was the moderate who came up and, you know, did that agreement. But the Royal Guard... is fighting against it. But basically, it was just one point. But there were several points. It talked about the different straits and how everybody's got to reroute their oil and what China is doing with North Korea, what this one's doing. And there's a whole lot of geopolitical stuff going on that we... It's not just as simple as what we're trying to make it. And so the name of this, just in case anybody out there wants to look it up, C-H-A-N-A-K-Y-A dot lab, L-A-B. And, but like I said, it's Power by AI. I tried to look into it more, but I was just fascinated by... each one of these points and they make it very simple and all it is is a map and he draws you know he writes things and and draws lines and shows you know it shows you in that respect and it really has helped a lot to answer some questions so anyhow I just wanted to share that and then I have one more thing to say yes I'm all ears okay So years ago, years and years, I saw this cartoon. I wish I could have, I wish I could have would have ripped it out because I did a lot of that. But the cartoon was there's a guy who's sitting on a bus and he's looking out the window and down below the bus is a really cool guy in a convertible sports car. And it said the Democratic... uh or excuse me uh conservative republican looks down at that car and says one day i'll be driving a car like that and the democratic socialist looks down and says one day you'll be riding the bus with me i just thought i and you know i remember that for all these years they were and i just It is when young people ask, and if they aspire to have nice things, that's, I mean, that's as simple as it can get. They want us to ride the bus. You know, we want them to aspire to a convertible car. Anyhow. There you go. All right. Thank you. You're on here. Hello. Mr. Verb, how are you today? I want you to know, I'm taking a break. from my duties outside, cleaning up my yard. And I thought I'd come in and say hello to you. What exactly do you have to clean up? I've got different beds of flowers, and I've got different beds of different things that I need to clean up because you've got the creeping Charlie coming around and you've got all this other junk that takes over the area, so you've got to clean it up.

Oh, okay. You know what creeping charie is. Yeah, he was peeping in my windows the other night. That creep and try? I bet he was. He can't wait to get to your house. I mean, I thought a guy like you of your stature would have gardeners do that type of work. I like, well, if you remember, I told you, A couple weeks ago, we might have to break up because I have things to do, and I don't have time to sit on the radio for an hour waiting for Mr. Verbe to say hello to me. I know, and that disturbed me a great deal. I bet it did. Yes, it did. Yeah, I'm sure. But the last couple days off, did you have a... Nice vacation, or did you have to work harder? No, I had a nice time off. I was visiting my daughter. Outstanding. Right. Doesn't get any better than that, now does it? No, it does not. As I did that about a week and a half ago. Yeah, the 22nd, we came back on the 22nd, whatever that is. Right. You know what I mean? Out of time. Right, right, right. But I'm trying to picture you slaving away out there with the, who's this creep Charlie? Is he your next-door neighbor or somebody? No, it's called Creeping Charlie. Oh, is he your next-door neighbor? No, no, no, no, no. It's the creeping Charlie that takes over my lawn if I don't take care of it. Well, don't you get it? I fertilize. I do everything I can to keep it away, but it just keeps popping up. Don't you get it sprayed or treated or something?

neighborhood doesn't take as good a tear of his lawn as I do mine. There's always one in every neighborhood. Well, I guess one is the two of them. One on the other side is the same way. So anyway. That really sucks. You always see that. I don't care what neighborhood you go into. There always seems to be one person. It just doesn't seem like they give a damn. Which I always wonder when that's the case. Well, why did you move to that neighborhood in the first place then? If you can see all these places are nice and you come and you have no desire to do that. Well, go where everyone else has that same mentality. There you go. I'm glad you said because the backyard of this person that lives next door to me is like a jungle. And like you said, why move into this neighborhood and let that happen? So I guess I'm going to have to do something as far as going downtown and talking to the mayor and blah, blah, blah. Yeah, because I'm not going to, I'm not, I'm too old to confront somebody with that crap. Yeah, but where's it? Anyway, they just don't take care of anyway. Yeah, where's your zoning and that kind of stuff if they don't cut your grass and that kind of stuff? Well, call the zoning department. Yeah, there you go. I'll like that one, Sony. Right. I mean, what seems to be the problem? They're just bum neighbors, right? They're just, and they planted these tomatoes and peppers and these great big barrels that, chin barrels, and they put dirt in it. And these things are just growing all over the place and the back. It's terrible. It's terrible. Right, and it looks awful. Here you are in your pristine mansion, you know, in your elite neighborhood, and you keep your lawn manicured, obviously. Times are tough because of Trump, that you're out there doing it yourself. You had to let your gardening staff go. So you're out there doing it yourself, and you look over at the neighbor's place, and they just don't give a damn. That's the bottom line, my friend, that's the bottom line. I'm not trying to be, you ever hear the word persnickety? No, I mean, you're just trying to say, listen, put a little damn pride into your house and in your property. Is it asking too much to pick up the crap, mow your lawn, and to keep your place neat? I mean, you see, that's what we got going on over here? Why do you live there if you're not willing to do that? Go live somewhere with other bums then. department will maybe get some results yeah you never know till you call and ask yeah i mean they got they got a zoning department's calling call and ask what direction i could go here's what my problem is who's going to help me solve it you can easily either the zoning departments sometimes you got a community police officer they might be able to assist you in that as well but i also wanted to mention now now if none of that works up That works out for you. If Ted the conservative comes back from New Jersey, I'll send him over there to rough the person up a little bit when he's done in Jersey. When he's done in Jersey, well, he does go to Jersey a lot, and people are getting a little suspicious. What's just going on to Jersey? What's going on? I don't know what's going on. He's going to Jersey all the time, and I'm beginning to wonder like these people are saying. What's Ted the conservative up to?

up with the people that contacted the Department of Justice or whoever was that contacted Sammy the Bull. Yeah. To try to find out what's good, what was it about now? I can't remember. What the heck was that about? They contacted Sandy the Bull. Yeah. And he took care of it. Yeah. And he took care of business. Yeah. They actually did this, contacted him to find out what they were trying to find out. I mean, come on. Maybe that's why your buddy's there too. Yeah, hanging around with their Jersey boys. Yeah, he's out there in Jersey. You know, he goes out there with another guy. I don't know if you've ever heard of him. His name, Creep and Charlie. No, no, I never heard. I've heard of... I've heard of... Are their names in this... No, no. They're... They're associated with those people, but never creep in charge. They're driving out together. He's had to get a conservative and creeping Charlie. Go into Jersey. I just want to know... You know that this is probably turned into the Salem witch hunt that's going on with this administration. What do you mean? That's what I equated to. The Salem witch hunt. What do you mean?

to everybody that they have tried to bring charges against you know what's happened nothing they have convicted no one no convictions whatsoever all this is is the salem witch hunt of the 1650s in 2026 that's all it is say that again give me that again people that the Trump administration, the Department of Justice, is trying to put in jail, bring charges against. Anybody that they tried to do that, too, nothing has ever stick. Nothing sticks. It's all been a big mush burger and nothing. saying the witch hunt is, don't you? Yeah, but don't you think Trump was a victim of a lot of those witch hunts? I mean, that took place? I can't think of any guy that was more persecuted. I couldn't think of a better guy to have all these people after him than Mr. Trump. He is, he is, come on, come on. Well, it seems like you guys, it seems to me. The cost of Costa Nostra, they went to them to find out. certain thing, and he's going to, you're supposed to believe whatever would come out of his mouth? Are you people have got, no, I don't want to say you people. You get, it's getting so stupid. Everything is out there. It's just all one, like the woman was just on talking about Iran and all that over there. That should have never happened. It should have never happened. Everything was in place to keep that nuclear program under check. Yeah. All he's doing is manipulating the market, period. You know he's made over $2 billion in this last go around with being president. He's made over $2 billion. Stand by. Let me deal my commercials back with Fifth Avenue. News Radio 570 W. Kvian, Ronfer, I'll be right back.

If you run a business, you know, 570 WKBN. Seems to me you've got a double standard when it comes to Trump, you know, with all the persecution that the Biden Justice Department did against him and his family. Hell, they tried to debank the guy in his entire family, not just him, his wife, his kids, and all that kind of stuff. I mean, that was how reprehensible the Biden administration was. I didn't hear you calling pointing that out, but now you're saying, well, it seems... Oh, I see. So what they... Whatever they did was justified. I see. He has, now he's going to have the immunity when he gets out of office of all his taxes. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Come on. I see. It sounds to me like you've got a double standard. No, there's no double standard here. It's just you and the Republicans, you just don't... want to admit the truth. Everything that comes out of that guy's mouth is a lie. You know that. It's a complete lie. I can't believe anything that the Department of Defense

Well, there is a lot of exaggeration. Like he... That's lies. Not exaggeration. Yeah, like when he said an agreement is near with Iran, what, a couple months ago, yeah. I mean... Todd Blanche, he's... Whatever this guy wants, he gives it to him. Whatever lie that comes out of this man's mouth, come on, it's out in the open. It's obvious. You don't have to be a Philadelphia... Yeah, and Todd Blanche was his personal attorney. I get that. You know, I understand that. Ron, I know. I know deep in your heart. You know what I'm talking about is the truth. But you are not, you are not going to want, you don't want to upset your Republican callers that called into you. Really? And I know in your heart, you believe what I'm telling you is the truth. If you keep, you don't, if you don't take care of this problem. I'm, I'm better outside in the sunshine. No, you're not. No, you're not. You're better off his side in the air conditioning. I'm better in the sunshine. See, that's why, that's the other reason.

Jeez. I have, I probably have 50 things in front of me right here that I could talk about until tomorrow, next week. The impeachable offenses of Donald Trump. I'm going to read you five of them. Well, these are just democratic talking points. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's, that's not true. That's not no. Get away from that Republican talking points, and this is the truth. It is every Republican, well, but most of them are, most of them under his tutelage. They're enamored by him. They're afraid of them. He pardoned 1,500 right-wing domestic terrorists that attacked America, and he wants to pay them 1.8. million dollars of your money. Now, if that isn't the worst situation that you could come and that is just unbelievable, to even think that up, these people that broke into the capital.

These are truths. These are Democrat opinions. Oh, my God. Oh, sweet Jesus. Yes. Oh, sweet Jesus. I think you've been in a heat too long today. I feel bad. I do. I feel bad that you think like that. I do. I'm not trying to convert you to anything. I'm not trying to, I'm not trying to, I'm not trying to, I'm not true. Now, if you, the Republicans have told me. All right. Go get creeping Charlie. I got more. Now, that's enough. I can't. You can't take it. I can't take any more. All right. See you. You're on here. Well, maybe you should take two days off because this has been a great show. But to start off with the last conversation we had, I want to apologize to you for that because I really... really, really blew my top, you know, just like the last caller. And as much as I can stand, I couldn't stand anymore. So for that, I will apologize. You always told me, don't bite your tongue. And as far as Bubba Ginoos goes, listen, maybe back in the day he might be able to dance like a clinger. But I've seen that man dance now. Ain't a woman going to be with him. That ain't going to be with him. That ain't going to happen. Now, as far as the lady they called, this tweet waste. A.A. A.K.O. Battle Action. Yes. I want her to know, right, that I pray all the time. I'm like you, Ron. I raise dollars. And when you raise a girl, you pray all the time. So there's nothing wrong with praying, and I believe a lot more people are praying that are getting credit for. You know what I mean? And this is the last one. This is a good one, too. Yes, I'm ready. No, you ain't a young used to be. You got a lot going on, and you might not remember this. Okay, so let's get the scenario. I'm not as young as I used to be. I might not remember this because I'm senile or have dementia. Okay. Go ahead. Okay, well, maybe about 15, maybe 17 years ago. Yeah, 17 years ago. I can't even remember yesterday. Go ahead. Me and you had a conversation. This was going on, President Trump. had just came on the scene. And I asked you, you know, what do you think you're going to get from the president? And you asked me what I thought he was going to do. And then I told you something. I asked you a question, and I believe you told me that it wouldn't happen because he was too smart. I said to you, Well, what if he does all that and he's like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and he has a whole bunch of people around him that's going to hurt him? You know, because Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had his brother as the Attorney General. Remember that? Yes. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. really started the Vietnam War. Remember that? Yes. You remember McNamara and Westmoreland, all the people around him? I said I was worried about that. Are we looking at that now with Donald Trump? We're looking at a mess with Donald Trump. I mean, I say it. I take a lot of criticism from people.

I think we're looking at a serious mess. I've said it before. I think he thought this would be over and done with and be a lot easier than it is. You're looking at a major miscalculation of Donald Trump and a mess that he has created. And I don't know what the outcome will be or what the exit ramp will be at this point. Okay, can you think about this? You are a businessman. You are running business. You have people up under you running different sections. And when you need to make a major move that's involved, the whole company, you get input from the people that are running a company. Yes. I refuse to believe that Donald Trump did this all by itself. There had to be some people in the room saying, boss, this is going to happen. I think he got bad information. That's in my personal opinion. I don't know. I don't know if he had bad information or if he just, I mean, ultimately, he made the final decision. It seems to me, just to my perception, based on the cabinet meetings that I do see, which I... Talk with a lot of Trump supporters. I get a little tired. There's some things of Donald Trump that do wear thin with me, this idea of naming everything after him or whatever these cabinet members are. Oh, we're going to call it the Trump this, the Trump that. And it's just that gets a little old with me real fast, you know, like the Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Trump Center. And these. Basically ass kisses that want to put his name on everything. Enough of that already. I've had my fill of that. And when I watch these cabinet meetings, it seems a lot of those cabinet people just sit there and really, truly, just kiss the guy's ass. And it's sickening to watch some of it. So I don't know if there's any dissent as far as discussion is concerned with Trump or if there's a fear to give him any dissent. You just answer my question because if you got people sitting around him sitting on their ass and sitting on their hands saying yes sir, yes sir, then he got some bad people around him. If you got people around you that are afraid to speak up and because what difference does it make or he'll retaliate? then any good boss is going to listen to people that agree with their decision, and he's also going to listen to ones that disagree with their decision. Remember Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would listen when it came to the Cuban Missile Crisis, where if he listened to his military, we would have got into a major conflict there. But he listened to what they had to say. He listened to what they had to say, and then he thought it through, and he made the final decision and the correct decision to prevent that from happening. You think that actually happened in this gift with Donald Trump? Or you think Donald Trump just going to say he's smarter and everybody else, the smartest person in the room. I'm going to make the decision no matter what you guys say. I would have a tendency to probably think the latter. I think he makes a final decision no matter what you have to say.

Well, my brother, welcome back. And one more thing. When you guys get to talk about the next generation, think about our kids and what our kids are doing and our grandkids are doing. And think about that young man who is brilliant, right? Even though we don't get along. We get along, but we don't agree on everything. But I think Alex is a brilliant. You have a good day, man. So thank you. You're on the air. Yeah, I think we're the last of the great generation, Ron. But Donald's got it right. He's following the money. He's falling the money. He's a businessman. He's falling the money. And I, you know, I think it goes back to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia controls Iran, and Iran does the dirty work. I'm thinking, but Donald is falling the money. That's what it's all about. Money and power. Not the people, not the religion, not... The basketball, women's basketball, it's about the money, money and power. Donald knows money. He's a capitalist, like me. I'm a capitalist. I know money. That's why I'm not married. But anyhow, so where are we going to go from here? Well, I don't know. You made the phone call. I was trying to figure out what the hell you were saying in the first place. I felt myself, I mean, just in listening to your initial comments, I felt myself getting dumber the more you talked. Well, no, I got to get my points in quick because you never know when the next caller is going to come on, but you guys excite me, especially today. I don't know what it is about today, but because you took a couple days off. I think that's what it is. You know, absence makes the heart grow fonder. It is. Less is more. Yes. Yes, absolutely. Don't hang up. No, I'm not done. Okay. I won't hang up. I'm perfectly comfortable listening to you. Did I tell you the story about Uncle Bill and Chester when they were fishing on the Grand River in a steamy summer night, and they were trolling. They were trolling. That's a point that I'm making. They were trolling. And they got this lantern on the canoe, and this big musky comes swimming up right next to the boat. And Uncle Bill... did what he naturally did. He just ruts down there and grabbed that musky and rolled it in the canoe and sat on and grabbed the tail. And he told, Chester, Chester, grab the head. And Uncle Bill looked back and Chester was gone. Really? Wow. Yeah. Thanks for sharing. That's the best I got today. Thanks. That's not good. You're on the air.

It's the boss lady. What are you been doing? It's been out in Florida. Yeah, I've been keeping a low profile. I don't blame you. I'm trying to, too. Really? It's not working so good for you. It's not working so good. I've been trying, kind of. I know, but you just keep gaining popularity. You're like good. I'm quieting. You know somebody came up to me and said, are you the boss lady? You are the boss lady. And I started laughing. I know, I started laughing. I said, oh, my God. I don't recognize me. And you want to know the funniest part? Yes. Someone came up to my sister and said, are you, are you on video? Do you? Are you on social media? And she goes, no, that's my sister. So they're now thinking it's her, my sister. Why do you guys look like sisters, obviously? Yes, yes. Everybody thinks for twins, but I don't think we look that much alike, but people think we look very alike. Isn't that interesting? So your sister is putting up with the guff that you create, the controversy that you create. It's hilarious. So I'm just going to keep telling people, no, that's my sister. And then she's going to, yeah, I'm listening to know that's my sister. It's hilarious. Boy, that isn't. We get to find out. Go ahead. That isn't really fair to your sister. Oh, it is if you knew we'd be fair. I'm kidding. Well, I can see that there's a little sister love here, all right. Oh, it's always, it's always a treat with us. My youngest sister's real quiet, but she's a sniper. Really? I'm not quiet. Yeah, she's really quiet, but she's a sniper quiet. She's like a samurai warrior quiet. She's sneak up on you. Yeah. Man, I tell you, you got to watch out for you, you Italian women. You know, I got a lot to worry about folks. I get Ted the conservative, always going to Jersey with creeping Charlie. And now I got these two that I got to worry about. You know, there's nothing but troublemakers out there. So what has you been devoting your time to? Because this ought to be interesting. Well, right now I'm super excited because we get to find out the outcome of their little polling meeting today. Are we broke or are we not broke? Well, what do you make of that situation? I think it's a bunch of hogwash. I think that they just are backtracking right now because they know how terrible that meeting came off. They were, you know, the fire alarm was pulled to get everybody's panties in a twist. And then Angiro went on the other, you know, Youngstown Studio podcast and basically said that, no, it's, you know, everything's fine. So I don't know how you ask for a levy if you're going to say everything's fine. That's what I'd like to know. I think they got a lot of explaining to do. You're going to ask for three mill and you want to portray everything's fine only because you're trying to.

Well, I can wait a minute. Your meeting was and how your lack of understanding of the depth and breadth of the issue at hand. So I'm not going to call it scary anymore at all. I'm going to say, we don't need a levy. Everything's fine. Yeah, everything's fine. If everything's fine, then everything's fine. Okay, good. Well, wait a minute. Before I left for a few days, we heard that meeting and we heard what the guy that's in charge of money had to say. That doesn't seem like everything's fine to me. No kidding, Ron. No kidding. But do you know how dumb you have to be to go on to a studio podcast and then say all is well in the hood? And then ask for money? Do you know what kind of a stoon-od you must be to do that? Because guess what? You already gave me my talking points. No need to pass this levy. I mean, they're good. They're good in the hood. It doesn't make it. It's so bizarre to me. It's because they're covering. This doesn't make a lick of sense. Not a lick, not a lick. It's so, I'm entertaining to me because you're trying to watch them banangle out. All they had to say was, it's on me. You know what? I should ask better questions. This will never happen again. We were caught with our pants down. Stand by. And we need money. Stand by. This is interesting. The continuing economic situation in Poland back in a minute. I heard. Looking to upgrade your bathroom? Hi, this is WKBN. Well, something doesn't seem right here in Poland Township to me. So the initial meeting, which I think it was fairly accurate when they had that special meeting, and they're putting this levy on, said they're running out of money. How has anything changed since then, boss lady? Nothing changed since then, but the fact of the matter is, is then I started... screaming. Truly, honestly, I think it's because I started screaming and saying, what idiots? How did you guys not know this? What's going on? So then they don't want to admit that they're idiots and didn't know what was going on. So they just went like, no, it's all fine in the neighborhood. And they positioned that way. Now, do you know how stupid you have to be to do that when you want three mill? Do you know how dumb that makes you? It makes you, Ron. I just laugh. I don't know how these people exist. How do they exist? You thought that was your power play? I'll just say it's all good. And then I'll still ask for a three-mill levy. Because now I have my talking points. They don't need any money. No, I don't care. Nope. You're a trustee. You're saying you're any money. You don't need any money. We'll see what they vote today. Now they're all three getting together today. Now, you know what I think's going to happen? Today they're going to vote and they're going to vote to put the levy on the ballot. And then he's going to have to go back on what he just said Friday. I mean, it seems that it's a three-ring circuit. Tell me if I'm wrong here. It seems like no one was paying attention to where the dollars and cents and they were making decisions on things that they couldn't afford. And now they're trying to fire sailist Tahoe that the police department needs. I mean, how is that proper management of doing the responsibility that you were elected to do? It's not.

It's not. It's not. And you know what? I bet you they're going to vote. They're going to scramble because I think the deadline has got it. I think the deadline to put something on the ballot. What did Denise say last week? I think it's got to be tomorrow. I think it's the fifth. I think it's the fifth or the sixth. It's either the fifth or the sixth is the deadline to get it on the ballot. So they're meeting today. They met at five o'clock. And hopefully somebody was there to record. Oh, no, it's being recorded. So I'll be watching that for my nightly entertainment. I'll giggle and laugh. I'll send you. I'll send you the recap, Ron. You'll be the first on my recap. I would like to do that because, I mean, it seems to me they've got a financial mess in Poland Township. They probably need this levy. Not probably. They need this levy for their police departments. And they're trying to act like they were on top of things when they really weren't on top of things. I don't know. Absolutely. You know what? Here's what you're doing business. You just face into it. You just got to face into it, own it, and move along. You would steal all the smoke in the room, all the air, you would suck it, all the oxygen out of the room if you just owned it and moved on. Right? It's just the... What you're telling me, the reversal or the explanation is just strange to me. The whole damn thing doesn't make it. Well, tomorrow ought to be an interesting day, folks, when the boss lady's... I'm going to give a recap tomorrow. Stay tuned. Sort this all out and explain it so the rest of us can understand.
