By the way, my top secret number, keep it to yourself. It's unlisted. If you want to call a program and get on board, 3307-29-97. How strange was this? So I'm sitting last night. Here's the scenario. I'm at Verb Manor. I left right after the broadcast yesterday. So I left right after 6 o'clock yesterday. I'm sitting at the island in the kitchen of Verb Manor with my wife, and I'm having a slice of pizza. One slice, just one slice. The pizza of choice that day was Cornersburg pizza from the original Cornersburg. And I was sitting there having that, and my wife turns to me, and she says, is that the tornado siren?

And I really didn't hear it because, you know, yeah, they rotate and they are quiet and then they get loud. And I said, what? She said, is that the tornado siren I'm hearing? And sure enough, by now it's rotating. And what a great system. First and foremost, let's just acknowledge it is the best alert system around. Because, I mean, so it's circling around and you can hear the tornado siren going off again. So you just hear it go off. And I just turn to her and I say, this is unbelievable. And sure enough, you can, what's a great video coverage Paul Wetzel had on TV 27 with the weather cameras, with the weather cameras that they had? I mean, Paul Wetzel just did, what a great, what a great. coverage with those weather cameras where you could actually see, you could physically watch that, hey, this is, you could see the tornado right there on television as it was happening live. As it was happening live, as you would see it on the east side, if you will, heading towards Gerard. And it was right there. I mean, live on television. And you just sat back and he said, this is unreal. Because we just went through this, what, in less than two weeks? And here we go again. And just to watch the progress of this as it moves somewhat rapidly and going really down, what, 422 for the most parts. It was just great coverage by our television station, WKBN, and Paul Wetzel. So they did an excellent job on that. And there was obviously some damage in the areas where it went. But the strange part, and that's a weird thing about tornadoes, is that the sun was shining out our front door. We didn't even get any rain. So the sun was shining, and you could look over, and you could see dark skies, and you could see what they were, the television coverage, but, I mean, we didn't suffer any rain. Not to my recollection. I don't think it's, it even rains. So it was like, wow, how interesting is that? But it's unbelievable that that happened for a second time in two weeks. But there you have it. Is somebody messing with the weather? Is somebody messing with the weather? Or is this just a case that you have these people that say, hey, see, we're telling you this is global warming. It's screwing with the weather patterns. That's why you've got all these extreme conditions anymore. It's global warming. Get used to it. That's why you have areas that are hotter than they've ever been. And that's why you have all this crazy weather that's going on. It's global warming. And that's what some folks say, some scientists say. Others disagree with that.

So I guess we don't know for certain. A lot of people have opinions, but doesn't mean they're scientists or they know. We can all have opinions on it. But there's always those people that say, boy, the weather's awful strange. Look at how hot it's getting in some of these areas hotter than it's ever been and all this kind of extreme weather. And that's what global warming's all about, or so they say. So there you have it. Yesterday's adventure sitting right there eating a slice of pizza with my wife. when these sirens are going off. So let's see. There you have it. I want to talk to you about El Presente. I get in a discussion with G2 last night on a program. And for those of you that listen on a regular basis, I must confess, I mean, I think that this is a disaster what's going on as far as Trump ends Iran. I think it's just an absolute disaster that he should have never done in the first place. He should have never got involved in this in the first place. I mean, it was a mistake from day one. Now, do you just continue on with this? And knowing that it was a mistake from day one, do you just continue to stay the course despite the fact that it's a mistake? Here's the problem. You're seeing oil prices go up, gas prices go up. I mean, what is just stifling everything and everybody? Inflation. I mean, it is just out of control. You hear communities talk about why they need more money because a fire truck costs so much more. A police car costs so much more. And you know it's true, just like you take a look at what they say your house is worth now. This is all inflation. Inflation. Well, your house is worth this much, and that's what we're going to tax you on. Have you priced vehicles these days? I mean, it's ridiculous what they're looking for some of these. Not that you can't find a good deal on some new cars, depending what you're looking for. You can get like your Chevy tracks and that kind of stuff. There's still some affordable stuff out there on the lower end, the affordable ends. But if you look at a lot of other stuff, it's pretty steep on the price. So everything you look at from housing to cars. Your electricity is doubled. Gasoline's back at four bucks a gallon. Your property taxes keep going up. Groceries keep costing more. I mean, all the stuff that you need. Who doesn't need electricity? Electricity is doubled. It's doubled in price. The cost of your electricity is doubled. Natural gas has gone up. Groceries have gone up. Like I said, gasoline was down. Now it's back to $4 on average. Insurance has gone up. All this stuff has gone up way beyond single digits, double digits. I don't think anybody's income can keep up with it. And it affects your savings, whether you're, no matter what age you are, it can affect your savings, your retirements, your stock portfolio. Hey, look, I got this much money. But it doesn't buy as much as it used to buy. Well, because of inflation.

And I was disagreeing, I guess, with G2 yesterday saying, I don't see any end in sight to this situation. I don't see any end in sight. As they say, what do they say is the definition of insanity doing the same thing again and again and expect different results? So let's just keep on bombing. Let's bomb them some more. That would bring him to submission. Let's bomb this stuff now. And, you know, we've heard all along they're close. They want to make a deal. I got him on a rope. Trump was saying, and that didn't materialize. Well, we got this 60-day moratorium. Well, that didn't materialize. And now we're going to bomb them some more Iran, and then we'll get them where we need them. Well, what if that doesn't work? So is there a possibility that these people were underestimated that they're pretty well dug in and they're not going to give in? Just a thought. I mean, it could be a major mistake, but I do know this much. It's going to just continue to add to inflation. I have hard time getting nitrogen, which is for fertilizer, for farmers, other chemicals as well. I mean, a straight was open. We didn't have any of these problems prior to them doing this now. These problems just continue to go on as far as energy. We're draining our reserves or strategic oil reserves. China's doing the same thing, so we're tapping into all our reserve oil and using all that to try to keep prices low. Well, what do you do when you're at these critical levels that they're talking about that the oil experts were talking about you'd be hitting in July and August as you continue to drain it? Then when you stop draining it, now what do you do? Now what happens to prices? Just something to think about as inflation continues. I think to increase. I just think we're all becoming poorer as a result of this. We're all getting poorer every day. Everything's getting more expensive. No one's income keeps up with it. They continue to stay the course on this, and it's just not a good scenario. Comments, 330-9-99-77. 33072997. I don't know if the right thing is just to say to Israel, hey, you're on your own. We're done with this. You're on here. Hey, Ron. Are you done with your monologue? If you're the first caller, I've got to think about that for a second because if you're the first caller, if I'm done with my monologue, it means I've got to talk to Bubba Ginoosh. No, no. I'm just, I was waiting until you're done for many about Trump. Yes, yes, I am done at this point in time, and I'm not a cheerleader for Trump as you are. I'm a realist. No, no. Yes, I'm a realist. I'm a cheerleader for the United States of America. Hey, did you hear the, did you hear the compliment that was paid to you last night? No. You didn't hear it? No. Are you ready for this? I'm going to share some top secrets radio gossip with all of you. Do you know the caller I'm asked more questions about than any other caller? There's two, and you're not one of them, but there's two callers I'm asked more questions about than any other callers, any of them, when I'm not sitting here in the studio. Okay. Can you guess who those two are?

No, but you were saying somebody said something nice about me. Yeah, but can you guess who those two are? No, I cannot. I thought you were visionary. I thought you were like psychic. No, you got buddies that give you wrong information. So come on, tell me about somebody said something nice about me. I'd like to hear you that. Yeah, two callers that I know that I get asked about more than any other callers on this broadcast, any of them. I mean, they're neck and neck. Go on. Say who it is. We'll take a guess. I'm not. I can't guess. I don't know what it is. Come on, take a guess. Oh, my God. No, it's not God. How about G2 is one of them, huh? He's one of them, yes. So now you're 50-50. So I feel like I'm playing Jeopardy or some game with you. Okay, how about the other one's JJ? There you go. Now, see, I said, did I not say you've got psychic abilities? Yes or no? No, that's... Did I know? Answer the question. Did I not say I think you have, like, psychic abilities? Yes or no? I don't know. You said that. Yes. Yes. And you said, I don't know who they'd be. And I said to you, there are two callers. I'm asked more questions about than any of the other regular callers. And you said, I don't know. And I said, I know you know because you're like psychic. And here you go. And those two callers are G2 and JJ. I mean, I'm asked more questions about J.J. the liberal and G2 than any of our other regular callers. So yesterday. JJ, the liberal, said to G2 in a discussion with G2, he refers to G2 affectionately as Vladimir Putin. He said, I would rather listen to Bubba Gnuch than you. How about that? How about that? I mean, I didn't agree with him, but I thought that was a compliment to you. Why did he say that? Well, I was just saying he said that, and I thought it was a big compliment to you. I didn't say I said it. He said it. Yeah, but did you ask him why? Well, there really wasn't time. They were in a big argument with each other. I mean, it really wasn't time to ask him because he was on fire last night, and G2 and him were really getting into it. So I couldn't interrupt him and say why, but I said, oh, there's a compliment. I'm going to tell Bubba Gnush when he calls that JJ the liberal says he would rather her Bubba Gnuch and G2. And I thought to myself, boy, I sure wouldn't. But that might not be a compliment. Right? Well, why wouldn't it not be a compliment? I don't, I don't believe in his views. It's nothing to do with his views. He was just saying, I mean, I would perceive it as a compliment. Oh, okay, then, good. I mean, I thought it was a compliment. Well, you seem awful sensitive today. I'm not sensitive. No, you're sensitive today. You seem like... You're formatting on the radio, and I'm trying to get... I'm trying to get to the point. Well, get to the point. Let me share something that you don't know. Okay, yeah. So, I...

They had a meeting with the president of Lebanon. Stand by. Let me do my commercials, and I'll come back to you. Just hang in there for a second. Call us in line standby. Ron Furb from the Kingdom of Mahoning, News Radio 570. KBN. Hey, Ron, Ferb. I'm going to go check in with Mike Leonard. He's out of Bernard. Towns News, Weather, and Talk Station, 570. WKBN. All right, go ahead with your insights. Okay. The president had a meeting with the president of Lebanon. And he worked out, he worked out something to help him get control of this country, get Hezbo Allah out of it. You know, Hezbo Allah? You're echoing so much. Get close to the phone. What are you on the toilet? No. I'm not in my situation with it. Anyhow. I said he had a meeting with the president of Lebanon. Oh, yeah. Okay. And they worked out a deal where he can help them control their country and get Hezbollah out of there. Okay? So that's huge. Well, we'll see. What's that? And then... I said we'll see. It's a giant mess. I'm telling you, I don't think there's a lot of options here. And... This was a miscalculation on his part. And this rests at the feet of Donald J. Trump, the guy I voted for it. I still support. And it's a mess. And the economy's a mess as a result of it, and it might get a lot worse. Listen. What? Listen, you're making the world safe, Ron. I don't know. I don't necessarily agree with that. Okay, man. That's funny. Okay. Well, sounds like you're angry. Yeah. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. See, he seems like he was just, like, angry with me. But he's like, I think he's, I think he's a Trump cheerleader in my opinion. I still don't know why. I heard that conversation you had on with G2, and I keep telling myself, I keep asking myself, who's to gain? China has sucked up a lot of fuel and stuff, and is storing huge amounts of it. Well, no, no, no. China has an even larger strategic oil reserve than we do, and they're tapping into that. At the same time, China is cutting down on consumption. So China has cut down on consumption and tapping into their strategic oil reserves, which are larger than ours. We have been tapping into ours. We're at a level, a low level that we haven't seen since, I think, 1985. So we're going through ours. Well, what happens? when you're done drawing off of this stuff, I mean, to keep prices down. Now what's the next move? And that's where these oil experts say we are in July and August here, that that's what's coming. And you could see much higher prices for a barrel of Earl, as they say in Texas, and for a gallon of gasoline. And that creates inflation. Go ahead. Well.

going to gain because right now they're all saying that Iran is the centerfold of all that is so bad in the world when actually who are the people that are picking them up? It's China. China's going in there probably flying stuff in and out of there all the time and they're just waiting to take over the world's commerce and Trump helped them with all the damn tariffs. But the problem being is G2 wants to think that this guy, who, if you take a look at his record of being a businessman, isn't all that great. Matter of fact, it's pretty sad. Well, listen, he's done okay because he's wealthy and he's got a good brand and all that kind of stuff. But forget all of that. I'm more interested in what he's doing as president. I say this to you. Once again, I voted for the guy, and I wouldn't vote for Harris or Biden if I had to do it tomorrow, but I think that this is a major mistake. Can I support somebody and at the same time say this is a major mistake? And I think that he was snuckered into it, and we are all paying a dear price. Yeah, I agree with you. I understand that concept. bothers me as he's continuously going on, and it's just going to, with his attitude towards other countries, I mean, take a look at that summit. Nobody really want to talk to him because, well, he's the neighbor that comes in a bad mouth, everybody. He don't want to work with anybody. I am the President of the United States, and I'm God, and I don't care about anybody else's feelings. Here we, they had that forest fire up there in Canada and in Minnesota, and he said, tariffs on these people because they can't control it. Well, that makes no sense. Tariff seems to be a thing that he thinks he can control when in turn Canada is going to say, well, the hell with the United States will deal with somebody else. And guess who that is in? China. China is in the breadth right now of taking over the world economy because of this guy here that you voted for, and mind you, this Republican the first time. And halfway through his first shot of being a president, I wanted what in the hell I was thinking. All right. Stand by, please. Stand by. I'll get back to him momentarily. Call us in the line. Stand by. Ron Furt, News Radio 570, WKVN. News Radio 570, WKVN.

Perfect day here on Wednesday, July 22nd, with 72 degrees. It's just perfect out there today. All right, so you voted for Trump the first time, and you say you did not vote for him the second time? No, by halfway through his first time being president, and I wondered, what is this guy doing? He's not helping out you, me, or our kids, or our grandkids or our great-great-grandkids. All he's doing is helping himself. I mean, just take a look at how much money this guy's made. So you're telling me, though, you voted for Biden or Harris? Oh, I voted for Biden when he went in the first time. The second time I voted, when I found out that Trump was all pushing on it, I voted for Harris just because of the fact that I didn't think that... Trump was not so... Oh, my gosh. I mean, in all seriousness, did you have to hold your nose? I mean, listen, as bad as you might think Trump is, he's a lot better than Harris. Good God. I don't... Well, you see, that's the point. A lot of people will stay with a Republican only because they're Republican. Well, no, she's just stupid. Well, I understand that.

I don't blame you. I'm not mad at you or I accept the fact that you think Trump is okay. And I don't. I take a look at what he's done. More than 98% of his things he's been involved in, if it hadn't been for his dad's money, he wouldn't be worried that. I mean, how would you like to get out of college and get a million dollar? Here's a million dollars. Go do something. And then when you screw it up, he gives you a... couple million to straighten it out well that's exactly what happened to me oh my goodness you mean you're sitting there talking to me you mean to tell me your dad didn't do that for you what kind of father did you have you mean to tell me when you got out i had a great father i had a great father i loved him very much but he didn't give you a million dollars and tell you to be on your way no go out and make it i made mine oh okay i never made a million And neither did you. Listen here, loser. All right, so you didn't vote for him to second time. Here's my dilemma. I voted for him every time, and I'd vote for him again. But just because I disagree with him on this one issue doesn't mean I don't like some of the other stuff that he's done and he's far better. I can't vote for these people. Let's think... You put tampons in men's bathrooms. It's you can wish yourself pregnant or wish yourself a woman or any of that craziness, that that, that, that, that wokeness, we can't say ladies and gentlemen and all of this craziness that they stand for on a social agenda, let alone their economic agenda. Don't forget, Biden created all this double-digit inflation with his policies, and I'm, but I'm man enough to say Trump is making it worse. with this situation in Iran. Remember, before the war, we had gased down about 250 a gallon. Prices were going down. Imagine where things would be right now if he never engaged in this situation. We'd all be better off. You're right. We'd all be better off. Right. He decided he had to have a war. Exactly. With a country that is the 11th most powerful military and is showing it yet today. that they still have it. Why? Because the country of China and Russia have been feeding a military equipment all along. I don't know if that's the case. I just think that they're dug in and they're not going to raise a white flag. like they think they should have already. I mean, I feel I've been deceived by some of the stuff that the president's been saying, they want to make a deal, they want to make a deal. He has been saying out week after week after week, and there's never been a deal, and we got him right where we want him, and then this 60-day ceasefire, and there's nothing going on there. It appears to me that... They don't want to make a deal. It appears to me that they have control of the strait. Remember that straight was open before this war ever took place. You didn't have any of these problems that you're seeing now, or we'll see after this is over with as far as the straight is concerned, correct?

absolutely correct, and it's going to take better than the year to 18 months. It's not two years to get everything straightened out. But who put us in this mess? Trump. And with all this stuff that you say he's doing for the country, he didn't lower the gas prices. The economy did. Who is the economy? You? Well, hang on a second here. Here's where you're wrong on oil prices. He did help lower the oil prices by expanding drilling offshore and on federal lands. All the stuff that Biden prevented. and the regulations that Biden put in, he got rid of him. So he did very much increase drilling, and he knew that if he increased the oil supply, oil prices would come down. And they did come down as a result of it. I mean, if he would have never done this, I bet you'd be at $2 a gallon for gasoline if he would have never done this, or certainly $2.25. You would have been, gas would have been much cheaper, and I think your groceries would have been less expensive. Inflation was going in a downward direction. This was a stupid move. And my question is, do you just continue on, if this was a mistake from day one, do you just continue down this road with no end in sight? Well, it kind of looks like Vietnam, don't it? You know what? It does. It does. The thing of it is, okay, so we take the restrictions off. Go drill, baby, drill. long is it going to take for them to drill? Get that oil out. Get it moved to where it can be turned into gas. Right. And diesel fuel. You're talking to three years. Well, you know, you're also going to... It don't happen in six months. You've got to acknowledge it. All the stuff that I learned about oil that I never thought I would know. I'm almost like T-Boon Pickens. I've learned so much about oil. The type of oil that we have is a light crude, and our refineries are made for heavy crude, and you need heavy crude for diesel and jet fuel. and light crude is good for gasoline, but most refineries can't. We export a lot of the oil that we take out of the ground because we need the other type of oil. So it's all kind of tied together to a certain extent. I mean, you follow what I'm saying? Oil just as an oil. There's different. I understand that. I understand. And what you're saying, because I've, over the years of educated myself on that by looking it up and paying attention.

why people want to back a person who claims, oh, I put in hundreds of thousands of pools. He never put him in. He had contractors do it. Right. He never put him in. He just put out the money out there. Right. And then when it was all built and done, he had it for a few years. He had to get rid of it. Yeah. And he couldn't hold it. So how many times did he file for Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies? Yeah. But that's a business. Part of the deal is more so the art of the steel, and that's how I look at it. All right. But the Bitcoin, the Bitcoin thing, too, is you want to buy into his Bitcoin company? Okay, so we've got to start off with the least amount. You've got to spend $100,000. Out of that, $100,000, you've got to pay X amount of dollars in percentage for the paperwork. And then every month... You get a bill for looking at it and saying this is how much your Bitcoin is worth. Yeah, I must confess. If you don't keep adding to it, it's going to get less and less. I don't know. I don't know anything about that. All right. Are you having a lovely day today, old-timer? Yeah. Yesterday was kind of scary. I was actually thinking about you because of the way that tornado was going, and then I got thinking, no, you're over on that rich. Yes. It wasn't so bad. Yes. Absolutely. Yes. Yes. Thank you for thinking of me. I was sitting right there when, like I said, eating a slice of pizza when my wife said, there goes the tornado sirens again. I mean, the most effective warning system is those tornado sirens. I mean, if that is the most effective way of alerting everybody of, hey, be concerned. Look to the sky. You know, pay attention. On top of the sirens, I was here when it came through Niles. Oh, yeah, so was I. And so the thing of it is it got me is I could walk into my house and look at it and there was no weather. All of a sudden now, in the past 10 years, they finally got it in their head when this stuff comes in. We're going to take every channel we got in the surrounding area, and we're going to give you a weatherman to tell you where it's going and what's going on. And I will tell you this much. And all sincerity, Paul Wetzel does the best job of anybody on 27. There's no question. I think his whole crew is exceptional in fact. They walk well together, and they talk together, and they don't talk in language that you and I. I can understand. I know you can more than understand it. Well, you know, I am a college graduate. Oh, from where? The University of Akron. I tell you. Well, right on. Right on. All right. University of life. Yes. Yeah, the school hard knocks. All right. I've been knocked hard on a lot. Okay. Have a wonderful day. What was on the pizza? Pepperoni. Oh. I don't go well with my gallbladder. I know. I know it's the worst thing for you, but it was delicious. Hey, it's good hearing your voice. I appreciate it. I'm telling you, folks, there's something about that guy I like. You know, there's this guy that calls me from Fifth Avenue, and we disagree, but I enjoy talking to him. And that guy, too. There's just something about that guy I find pleasurable. You're on the air.

Oh, Ron, thanks for taking my call. I've got a couple articles I want to share I got today. All right. Oilprints.com. Goldman Sachs, Orange Oil could hit $120 a barrel as Middle East Ward dragged. They're talking before the end of the year. Oil's going to go to $120 a barrel. That'll make gas around $6 a gallon. And there's another front opening up. Saudi Arabia has ports. on the Red Sea so they can take their oil and tankers up to the Suez Canal and ship them through the Mediterranean to the rest of the world. And the hoodies have been threatening. They're going to bomb the tankers. They called the tank headquarters, and two of them turned around, and they were born for China and India. They made U-turns. So... We got another problem in the oil is with the Red Sea and the Hooties. Trump suggests he could restart Yemen bombing campaign in response to Red Sea blockade. So a lot of trouble ain't getting better. Yes. I agree. I agree with you. I mean, I am in total agreement with you as far as... This could, I don't see it getting better. I don't see there is an easy way out of this, in my opinion. I just don't see there to be an easy way out at all. And it just, it's, it's, it was a mistake from the very beginning. And he knows it's a mistake. He knows he thought it would, he's been lied to and misled by Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel. He knows it. And now he's looking for a way, I think, to save face and get out of this as opposed to just saying, pack it up and tell Israel you're on your own. Because, I mean, he created this mess, he being Trump. And all this crazy weather we're having, it could be man doing it, and it could also be God judging our country. Somebody's words we've been doing to.

You know, God judges nations, too. Yeah. All right. I think we're heading for serious times. So do I. I mean, I'm concerned about it. I can't be like Bubba Ginoosian and Trump cheerleader. And I hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. But I don't see an end in sight to this. This idea, oh, we just keep bombing more and more and more. And it's not working. It hasn't worked to this point. And see, I would go back and say this to you. That's a whole other part of the world. They don't think like you. They don't live like you. They don't think like you. And they don't necessarily want what you want. And we think that they should be thinking like us and what we want. But they don't think like that. They've got to call a different religion. Right. And you think that they're falling in love with... America, as you continue to bomb this country of 93 million people? Who knows how many innocent people were killing, too? Right. I mean, it's just... It's interesting. I don't see an easy way out of this. And I'm with you. I certainly hope I'm wrong, but oil could go easily to that or higher. And your gasoline prices and inflation will really, really be out of control. And that makes all of us poorer. You follow what I'm saying? I feel as though I'm getting poorer every day. Your truckers might stop going up down the highway. I'm getting poor every day because your 401k or your IRA or your savings doesn't buy what it bought just a short time ago. It takes more dollars to buy stuff than it used to. So all that you work for as far as your investments and your savings are buying less. And if... inflation goes up even more as a result of this goofy situation. You become poor. My electric costs have doubled. My property taxes are out of control. You know, I have politicians that could care less what they're doing. to the productive taxpayers. You follow me? I have politicians that could care less about the problem that they're creating for everybody with property taxes. They could care less. I have a library system in Mone and county that could care less what people think and are very arrogant. I have property taxes going up with re-evaluations because we're saying your house is now worth this and it'll go up even though you didn't vote for anything. I have this MRDD asking for an exorbitant levy, and if that passes, your taxes would go up even higher. My electric costs have doubled, the cost of my electricity. My natural gas costs are up. My food prices are up. An airline ticket is up and cost. My gasoline prices are up every time I fill up a vehicle. My insurance costs are up.

I haven't even got through it all. I could go in with the cost of medical care, and there's so much more that have been double-digit increases. So who can keep up with all of this craziness? I agree. So everyone's getting poor. And it's like, does anybody give a damn about this at all? You're a great watchman. You're doing a great service for the community. I respect you highly. And I respect you, and I thank you for your call. And I do. All right. News Radio 570W. QBN. I'll have to get into some of these people that submitted letters to replace George Santos to be in Austin Township trustee. I've got to get to that later in a broadcast at some points because it's like, gee, when you look at that list, and there's only one or two on an entire list that would actually be qualified to really or do a good job or step into that job. I'll be right back. Your one stop for advertising? Call 8-4 News Radio 570, WKBN. All right, and Ron, Verp from the Kingdom of Mahoning here, 355 on a Wednesday afternoon, and you're on ear. Yes, Ron, I think a lot of you guys are just never been in a fight before. All right? Sometimes you're in a fight. I've been in a hundred of them. Well, you've got a fight. All you got. And you got it, you know, even if you lose, you don't give up. And that's what Trump's doing. What's Trump is doing? Trump is cleaning up the mess that Jimmy Carter and every president since Jimmy Carter left behind. All right? Iran has been a bully. They've been getting away with it till Trump. What he will do is he will pull out the lights out defense on it, which I've seen. Ed McCluskey, the legendary basketball coach, due at Farrell in 1972, when they were in the playoffs and they were losing 38 to 18 at halftime. And McCluskey switched the plays around, put in the lights out defense, and the other team scored two points in the third quarter, and Farrell scored 20. So they went from a 20-point deficit to a two-point deficit in one quarter. That's how quickly it happened. And that's what you're going to see now. You're going to see Trump is going to start taking out bridges and power plants. And we'll see how tough they get when they have no lights because lights are out. Well, we shall see. It hasn't worked to this point. He's been telling you all along, oh, they want to make an agreement. They want to make an agreement. He's been telling you that for months now. Well, you know, he says stuff all the time, right? But it's half-time, Ron. It's half time, and how many cities have they bombed the United States? None. Every of our aircraft, if they shut down, out of the thousands of the shortage we run. Not many. How hard did they hit us? Well, we hit them pretty hard, and they won't give up because the IRGC is hated by their own people. They have no choice but to fight to the better end. So we've got to just completely take them out.

And send that country back a thousand years. That's all we have. We shall see if that happens. We shall see. We shall see. We'll say the B-52s haven't come out yet. Yeah, we shall see. It hasn't worked at this point in time, and you could be paying a lot more. You could be a lot poorer as this goes on. I want justice. All right. We shall see. Church is out. All right. I got to pause. We'll be right back. If you're in the market for tires, the time. Happy birthday, America.
