  Speaker 1: Duck Douglas a power our six WTV, and I just
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: you know, first of all, I'm gonna have to find
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: a way to work the term screwworm into more conversations.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: That's a goal of mine. Yes, I don't know how,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I'm all for it, but screw worm. Yeah, this this
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: is distressing I and I sent you a story earlier today,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Zach that I did not use during Blazers show. It
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: was one of those backup, you know, fluff pieces basically,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: but it was about a graduation, an adult high school
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: graduation where these people went back for their their diplomas
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: or whatever, and a fight broke out, and then a
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: couple of days ago we had another graduation ceremony where
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the fight broke out, and then a couple of days
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: before that, we had another graduation. It was a kindergarten
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: graduation where a fight broke out. And now here we
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: go again. Eighteen year old killed three wounded in high
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: school graduation shooting about seven fifteen pm on Wednesday, parking
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: lot of Fairfield High School ended what they call the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Semi Yato High School. Graduates at Fairfield Police Department said,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: this is in North Carolina, by the way, four victims shot.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Police said an eighteen year old died, while an eleven
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: year old to twenty year old and twenty five year
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: old were injured. Is not clear if the eighteen year
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: old was a graduating student or not. There is no
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: ongoing threat to the community. They say about one thousand
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: people were in attendance. Why suddenly are these traditional events
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: that are supposed to be celebratory, that is supposed to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: be unifying. Why suddenly is this the place to go
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to get beat up or shot? Something is very, very
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: wrong with our internal compass as human beings. You should
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: not have to worry about garbage like this when you're
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: there to watch your kid graduate from high school or whatever.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: It's just it's It's sad, is what it is. Those
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: people say, I don't even want to go out of
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: my house. Well, this is why, man, I understand why violence, shootings, assaults,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and of course the dreaded screw worm. As Allison mentioned
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: in the newscast, We've got something I want to tell
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you about before I get out of here tonight, and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: that is the Department of Justice and the State of
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Ohio and fraud. The story that I have is actually
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: apparently behind because Alison has more people arrested in her
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: story than what I had, So I'm going to try
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to find the update. And see, I had nine people arrested.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I believe she said fourteen. So I'm going to try
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to find the update that she has that I can
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: reiterate to you and explain to you why this story
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: as people are listening to going yeah, yeah, that's the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: way to do it now. Yeah, this flies in the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: face of the statement we had from city Councilman Emmanuel
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Rene yesterday. I will explain that to you. Let me
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: grab a call here. Let me say a two ninety
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: eight six number. Dondee. You're on Legacy Retirement Group dot
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: com phone lines. Are you going to talk about something
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I'm actually talking about tonight?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Actually? Yes, Okay, what your current.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Put that on the calendar, Zach, mark that down, Mark
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: that down. That was the day it happened.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, okay, Chuck. I worked for Kentucky Fried Chicken
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: for four years back in the nineteen eighties, and I'm
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: going to sell you some Columbus back then was a
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: company Kentucky Fried Chicken. Today they are all franchised, but
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: back in the eighties, Columbus I worked out off a
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Henderson rode right down the street from the corporate office.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Columbus was a wonderful test market. If I tell you
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: some of the stuff that KFC invented, it'll blow your
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: mind and you'll be hungry by the time you get
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: off the phone.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: What they need to reinvent is that bait not what
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: was it the braised chicken instead of having all the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: coating and stuff on it. What did they call that?
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Rotis broke?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Man, that was that was good chicken. And you
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: didn't have all the carbohydrate to the you know, the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: breading and everything.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, that's great, that's a that's a new sound thing.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about nineteen eighty four when I started June
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty four until nineteen eighty eight when I left.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I started as a cook.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Well this this was back in the eighties when they
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: had that. It was it was just it was a
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: regular chicken as opposed to the bread and chicken. It
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: was a I forget the name that they used, but
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: it was just it was regular chicken with no no
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: crust and stuff on it.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I don't remember that one in Columbus, but I can
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: tell you a lot of them. I do remember the
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: what was that thing? They called it the half pounder.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: It was part rib, part wing, and part five and
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: that baby.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Was a monster, I guess.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, but people bought it. Okay, I'll tell you something else.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: That Columbus has a wonderful test market. Back in the eighties,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: we were that you liked their Oh yes, you like
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: their stuffing. If you ate, If you ate their stuffing,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: you were actually eating Uncle Ben's.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I did. I didn't know Uncle Ben's had a stuffing.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I have Uncle Ben's rice on the cabinet shelf, but
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I know they had a stuff.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Uncle Ben's has a stuffing. I know because we just
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: did it here in Columbus, Ohio. I know that was okay.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I was right up the street from the corporate office.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: What was the computer company that was that was just
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: starting out compus right. We catered their gatherings. Now here's
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: one that you mine. I don't know. KFC had a
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Hot and Spicy Christy. Yes, I remember that, but it
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: was only available in black neighborhoods. That I know because
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I started in Upper Arlington. But I managed to work
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: my way up to management in four years, and I
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: was moving around the city okay, and KFC. The only
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: place you could get that hot and spicy extra christ
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: unlike today's stuff. I don't want to talk about. But
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: as a test market was Livingston in Berkeley and Livingston
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Parsons right across the street from Children's Hospital, right.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Around the corner from churches too, and.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Well churches on main Street. This one was on Livingston
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: and Berkeley. The only place you the only place you
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: could get that hot and spicy extra crispy. Who was
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: in the black neighborhoods? That was it?
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Well, see that there's reason we should have seen a
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: surgeon people move into the neighborhood then.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Well but you had a surge of people moving out
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: to the suburbs, okay, and they gave them what they wanted.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I guess, all right, you've made me hungry. I appreciate
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: you bringing back all those memories. You've officially made me hungry. Now. Oh,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: now see he's got anything. Churches Churches Chicken was the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: greasiest chicken ever, but for some reason I liked it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: And then Sisters, when Sisters came about. Now they did
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: not advertise it as being hot and spicy, but were
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you you're you're too young for Sisters. Sisters had it
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: was like a spice, a hot sauce powder that was
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: under the skin. I think it was rubbed under the
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: skin of the chicken, so it wasn't on the outside.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: But you would bite into that chicken. It was always
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: so juicy and and there was that that zest that
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I loved it. Sisters Chicken and Biscuits will
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: make chicken spash of again. I still remember their commercials.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Then Wendy's bought them and they became very bland. They
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: got rid of the spice, and I think that was
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: a mistake because Sisters was awesome. But the comings and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: goings of all those companies, and in one form or another,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: although some people don't think it's as good as it
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: used to be, KFC is still standing. So again, big
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: go credit to the Colonel Harlan Sanders. I'm glad that
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: they are not doing Remember when they a few years
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: ago when they had different people portraying the colonel. Norm
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: McDonald was the colonel and they were just going from
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: actor to actor portraying. It was so stupid. Just get
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: an actor to be the colonel if you want the
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: act and stop. Stop that Colonel's Tall, Colonel Short, Colonel's fat,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Colonel skinny. You can't do that. You got a recognized brand,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: quite changing the look of it. Federal and state authorities
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: in Ohio escalating what they described as a growing crisis
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: of fraud, unveiling new indictment, seizures and enforcement efforts aimed
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: at schemes that allegedly stole tens of millions of dollars
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: from public pro It's not just Minnesota anymore. I'm just saying,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and this is an updated version of the story, because
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: about two hours ago it was u it was nine people,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and I want to say forty two million dollars. During
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: a news conference in Whitehall. The story continues. On Thursday,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: officials said that they were waging war against fraud. They
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: will win, warning suspects that they will identify, arrest, and
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: imprison them. They describe criminals as becoming bold and audacious,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: accusing fraudsters of having robbed American persons for too long.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Among the cases highlighted was Operation Playground Therapy, where federal
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: investigators said an alleged medicaid fraud scheme involving community based
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: programs for children in Ohio led to more than thirty
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: million dollars in improper billings and the seizure of cash
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and fourteen luxury vehicles. Four people have been indicted there. Collectively,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: they are said to have defrauded Medicaid in excess of
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: seventy five million dollars. It's pretty simple, we follow the money.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: FBI director Cash Betel says the cases involved multiple types
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: of fraud, including healthcare fraud, one point four million from
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the paycheck Protection Program, which assisted businesses during COVID nineteen
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: fifteen million from elderly Americans through an alleged romance scheme.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: A Butler County man has been charged with defrauding Medicaid
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the tune of twelve million dollars. So they're getting up there,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and they're apparently coming full force to the state of Ohio,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and they site here the same thing that we've been
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: citing since Bob Sprague was in the studio a couple
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago. When you have two zip codes out
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: of the sixty plus zip codes in Franklin County accounting
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: for forty percent of the entire home healthcare spend in
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Franklin County, you've got something going on. That was Keith
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Faber he's our auditor. ABC six ask how often these
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: providers are being audited, how the process is changing following
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: these recent indictments and arrest, and Todd Blanche, acting US
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Attorney General, said, we're going to send letters to every
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: state saying that you're all notice, here's what we should
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: be doing. This is our job. We say, we're giving
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: you the money, we want to make sure you're spending
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: in the ways you're supposed to be spending it. Now
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: you're in conclusion, if you will, as they come after
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: all these people and all of this fraud, don't be
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: surprised to see a bunch of people who didn't know
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: they were participating getting swept up in it. Because you know,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: there are companies out there that hire you, whether it's
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: an independent contract or an employee, and while you may
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: work this many hours doing this many things, they may
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: be billing other things and claiming you were the contractor
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: that was doing it. So they need the money from
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the government to reimburse you because they paid you for
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: doing twenty more hours that week than which he actually did.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: And I think we're going to see some of that happen,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: but it should hopefully all wash out in the end.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Why does this fly in the face of what Councilman
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Emmanuel Remi was saying yesterday. Here's why they want the
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: flock cameras down. They want to make sure that the
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: flock cameras are not being used by the Columbus Police
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: to interact with any other agencies, including immigration enforcement. Wait
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: a minute, this was a bunch of agencies working together
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: to stop people at a federal level from misappropriating and
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: misusing and stealing federal funds. This is a good thing.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: This is what happens when agencies work together and enforce
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the laws of the land. Mister Renee, I submit to
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: you that your flock cameras are no different saying that
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the police department needs to be stopped. Do not share
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: video footage with Immigration and Custom Service. We need to
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: make sure everyone here is safe and secure. This has
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: proof positive why that is wrong. You're wrong, And again
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I will challenge, as I do each time, for you
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: or any member of council to tell me, as an
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: American citizen, what federal law may I violate in the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: City of Columbus, With your blessing and no fear of
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: repercussions from law enforcement. That's what I need to know.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: If you can tell me which federal law I'm allowed
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to break without the police. Mister Douglas, we need to
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: speak to you. We can begin a conversation, but I
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: don't think I get that kind of pass from you,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: do I No, of course, not. Agencies working together, sharing information,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: enforcing the law. This is the way it is supposed
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: to work, whether you like it or not.
