• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Greeting, salutations, and welcome my friends to a Thursday edition
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: of The Power Hour on six ten WTV. And I'm
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Chuck Douglas. You know who you are. We get one
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: hour together, which means I talk really fast and you
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: must listen even faster. My number eight two one nine
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: eight eighty six A two one WTV. And like much
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: of America, if not the world, right now, I am
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: watching the Family Feud. I am not talking about Steve Harvey.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I am talking about Donald Trump and Elon Musk. And uh,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: this is like an auto accident from which you cannot
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: turn your head, the old analogy. And I'm going to
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: tell you something. I'm I'm I'm not sure I believe
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: any of this. I know, I'm not telling you that
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: it's not what it looks to be. I'm telling you
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: that I personally me, I'm having a problem believing any
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: of this. This this is this is straight out of
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a comic strip. And it's not making sense. And I'm
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: watching the social media accounts of Trump opposition and I'm
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: seeing nothing, and that in itself is spectacularly interesting to me.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: One account, which is just democrats. I don't know what
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: that that they actually have something on there. But if
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you look at Pelosi on Twitter, if you look at Schumer,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: if you look at AOC, you're you're you're not seeing anything.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Can you believe that these people would pass up the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: opportunity to uh to jump on here and start going
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: after Donald Trump thinking the blood is in the water.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I can't believe that. I forgot to check Bernie Sanders.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Do you have Bernie Sanders? Do you follow him? Yeah?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: He did.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I don't think he said it. I just as this
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Devil's advocate. If you if I said something to say
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I was AOC and I said hey, whatever, and I
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: talk about Trump and Musk, there's inevitably going to be
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: a bunch of people go, oh, now you like Elon
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Musk again.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Now you like him? You hated him. When you don't
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: even have to like him to say Elon misk Musk
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: has spilled the beans. Donald Trump needs to be held accountable,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: let's get him out of office. Something like that. That. You
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: don't have to like Elon Musk to say that. But
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: they're saying nothing, Yeah, I don't.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying Devil's advocate. I'm just saying that might
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: be what they're thinking. Like, no matter what I say,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna get crap for this if.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: You don't if you don't know what I'm talking about
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: right now, if you've been under a rock or whatever
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the last hour and a half or so, basically, it's
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: what it's what Dad would have called a pisson match
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk and Donald Trump going at it on social media.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I still, honestly there's some little part of me that
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: still even wonders if it's really them, because you know, look,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: with technology being as it is, and uh an infiltration
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: of technology being what what what if you know some
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: guy in China's doing all this? What if? What if
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Putin has Russian hackers impersonating them, blocking them from their
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: accounts and impersonating it. But where's the press conference? You
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: know where? Where shouldn't shouldn't Donald Trump or Elon Musk
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: be in front of cameras right now either validating or
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: contradicting what we are seeing. Something's just not right. And
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I helped me A two one nine eight eight six
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: A two one w TV. And are you as confused
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: by all this as I am? Because I you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: unlike the detractors out there, that those those know everything
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: people that I was. Mark and I were talking before
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the end of his show. Uh, the they're just going
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to be insufferable. Those never Trumpers who are just they
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: want to hold their noses up and say, look, we
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: told you how bad he was. I don't need anything
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: from them right now, because I'll tell you see, I'm
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: not a Trump robot, as I have said many times
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to your face as often as possible on social media
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: over the airways. I love America and supporting Donald Trump
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and his political vision I believe is beneficial for America.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: But I'm not an idiot. You know, bad guys are
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: bad guys, and if it turns out Donald Trump's a
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: bad guy, I'm gonna say that out loud too. I'm
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: not so stupid that I blindly follow any one period.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I am a thinking, reasonable, logical American. I wish there
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: were more of me instead of these people that just
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you know, they I signed on for this, so I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: gotta say whatever I'm told. No, No, I'm not like that,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: but I'm having a rough time believing any of what
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing right now. And as far as as Donald
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Trump and any Epstein interactions, any illegal Epstein interactions, any
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: immoral Epstein interactions. Yeah, you're gonna have to show me
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: some proof, because I have more faith in the man
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: than that. Not that he's perfect, No, he can be
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a loud mouthed fire from the hit moron sometimes. I
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: know that. But for me to accept that this guy
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: is the kind of guy who gets on a jet,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: goes to some private island and physically abuses, sexually abuses
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: young girls. Now you're gonna have to show me some proof.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Do you think this is also could be billionaires who
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: usually get what they want and aren't happy if they
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: don't get what they want. And Elon might not have
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: gotten what he wants.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: He did, he didn't in a lot of ways. He didn't.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: But what he is going to cost himself if it's
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: all about him losing money or losing government contracts or whatever,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the amount of money that he's stands to lose if
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: this is not legitimate, the Tesla stock. I'm telling you
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: watch tomorrow if this, If this turns out to be
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: an illegitimate in the overnight news, the Tesla stock will
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: just crash. Nobody's going to support him.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Well, you quoted it said, mark it down. Whatever it
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: closed out today?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, was it two seventy four or forty something like that.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: We're opposed today. Yeah, people will pull their money out.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Uh and uh. Democrats will still hate him and not
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: support his product, and Republicans will now resent him and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: they will not support his product, and and all of
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: this stuff that he's built will come crashing down around him.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Fourteen kids, Man, you better keep that paycheck coming. Something
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: is not right. I don't know what, but something is
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: not right. Nine eight six number eight two one WUTVN
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: or eight hundred and six to ten WTV. And Jay, you're
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: on the Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone line?
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Ty, Hey, how you doing?
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I am dazed and confused? Jay, how are you?
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Me too? But I kind of was thinking about them.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Is this a fishing expedition? Kind of like maybe they
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: kind of set this up to where they look like
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: they're feuding just to see who will come out of
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: the woodworks and bite. What do you think about that?
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that that couldn't be the case, but
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: if so, quite frankly, I will resent that even more
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: if they're just playing some kind of game in front
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: of us. I've been corresponding with a couple of people
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: one of which, you know, I guess you would call
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: them a strategist is thinking, you know, maybe this is
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a way, a reason, a method to get so many
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Democrats who have stood in the way of releasing the
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Epstein files to get out of the way and call
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: for the release because they think they're going to get
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: at Donald Trump. You know, again, if they're playing that
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: kind of game, I'm going to be upset about that too. Yeah.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I don't like that either, But I was just thinking
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: that I just wanted to throw it out there, you
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: know what I mean.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: It's one of those no win situations. I don't think
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: no matter how this one comes out, I'm not going
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: to be happy. And that's a sad thing because five
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: hours ago I didn't feel that way.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Fair enough, man, I agree with you, all right, let's.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Keep our eyes on it. Jay, I appreciate you, buddy.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm actually not even supposed to be here tomorrow afternoon.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Well there's no power hour on Fridays anyway, but I
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: was not supposed to be in a blazer tomorrow afternoon
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: because I'm getting up at three am to do the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: morning show because Mike is off, so I'll be doing
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Columbus's morning news beginning at six am. And normally when
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I do that, I'm not here in the afternoon. But
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: with this crap owl of going on, I don't know
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: that I cannot not be here tomorrow.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: You want me to do the morning show for it?
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: If you don't mind, could you come in? I may
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: end up doing both shows tomorrow. And if the boss go, hey, wait,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that's extra hours, we can't pay you. You know what,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I don't need paid. I just I feel a responsibility
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: as a broadcaster to do my job, which is to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: bring to you whatever facts we know when they are
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: relevant to your life, and to allow you an opportunity
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: to participate and have your opinion and be heard. And uh,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I just I don't know that I can stay home
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: tomorrow afternoon if this is uh, if this is unresolved,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I just I can't do it. So Mark's probably going, oh,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: but man, I was gonna have some friends in and
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have pizza here tomorrow. Loftus is coming in
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: tomorrow as well. Oh my gosh, can you imagine this
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: insanity combined with his insanity, That's gonna be a heck
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: of an afternoon. That holy smokes. I just again, I
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: don't see I don't see a wind this situation. Oh
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: it was all fake. Okay, Then I'm ticked off. Oh
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: it's all true. Okay, Then I'm ticked off. Oh you
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: know they were trying. I don't care. I'm ticked off.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: There's no way for me to come out of this
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: moment in time and be happy. And I man, I
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: hate that feeling. I hate the Queen and I and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and you know, I love that woman. We are we
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: are so remarkably close that I can't even describe it.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: When we talk about stuff all the time, philosophical stuff
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: and and you know how the world affects us and
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: so forth. One of the things, it's just kind of
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: been my mantra of my entire adult life. I do
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: not mind a fight. I in fact, sometimes I enjoy
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: a fight. What I do not like, what I cannot stand,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: what I will not tolerate or participate in, if I
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: have a choice, is an unwinnable fight. If there is
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: no way to win, I don't want anything to do
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: with it. And as I'm looking at this scenario, this situation,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: this this ridiculous dust up between Trump and Musk, and
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I will say alleged dust up until I see some
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: proof of that as well. I feel like I can't win.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I feel like we can't win. I don't see a
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: scenario here that that concludes us and and comes out positive.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be a pessimist. I'm trying to
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: be real, actual, and that is not pessimism. It is
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: observing what is and talking about it.
