  Speaker 1: Greetings, salitations, welcome my friends to another edition of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Power Hour on six to ten WTV, and I'm Cheuck Douglas.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: You know who you are, and we take it from there.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: My number eight two one nine eight eighty six eight
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: two one WTVN or eight hundred and sixty ten WTV
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: And as always I talk really fast, so you must
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: listen even faster. The state report card on the school
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: systems came out today. I have had a cursory review
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of said I'll have more for you tomorrow, but you
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: know I'm looking at Columbus City Schools and dismal, dismal
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: again as dismal as it was last time. How many
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: more times the same people going to get you to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: cast the same votes and send them back to the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: same positions and spend the same money and past the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: same levees only to get the same crappy results. Can
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: ask a question, Ask me a question, Zach, It's what
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I live for, Columbus schools. Columbus City schools, you better
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: have dismal reports. Were they better in the past or
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: has this been on you guest thing for long? They
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: have been better in the past, in the distant past,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and there are some gems in the middle of the
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: school system that are performing very well, but the system
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: overall is not might beloved. Was High School, for example,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: is going gangbusters, I believe. I want to say they
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: had a fifty fifty two percent graduation R eight three
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: years ago and this past year was eighty six percent.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: They were in the state of Ohio. They had more
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: students graduate from West High School getting their high school
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: diploma and their associate's degree from Columbus State or any
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: other community college at the same time than any other
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: school in the state of Ohio. The teacher or the
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: principal over there, a guy named Dan roberts Is. He's
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a cyclone and I want to get him. I want
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to get him on tape, on video. I want to
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: let everybody know what's going on there, because the school
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: was just it's amazing in what is happening there. But
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you're not going to hear that because this kind of
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: crap is going to get the headlines. This is the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: click stuff. This is what everybody wants to know about
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: all of the abysmal performances of this system. I came
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: out of it. It's not like I wake up every
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: day wanting to hate Columbus City Schools. I am a
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: graduate of Columbus City Schools. But once upon a time,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: like all other education, it was better than it is. Today.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: We seem to have forgotten how to teach our young
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: people to think. We only teach them what to think.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: These are the philosophies to which you must subscribe, otherwise
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: you're wrong. And you got teachers that came along, you
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: know that they are not like the teachers of years. Well,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I will say overall they are not. There are some
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: there are still some gems in there too. But you know,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I noticed, probably back in the nineties when I still
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: had young sisters who were in school, and I noticed
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the self centered my way or the highway mentality of
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: some of these teachers. When I was there, just you know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: ten years previous, the idea of actually exchanging ideas, debating points,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: disagreeing and defending a point that was normal. And somehow
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: between you know, nineteen eighty three and nineteen ninety one,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I believe it was when was my baby sister. It's
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: hard to remember ninety six because she's so old now
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I can't remember. But sometime there are things changed changed
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: dramatically and that's not just Columbus City schools. That's education overall.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Columbus is not the only district in the state performing well,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and the state is not the only state districts performing terribly.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: It's a national issue. Did you hear Allison's news how
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: many teachers in the state of Ohio were either mismatched
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: with what they're supposed to be teaching, or there were
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: no teachers in those positions, or you got, you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: somebody who's who's not accredited to do certain they're they're
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: just they're and they've still got voids. Now, back during COVID,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: anybody with a pulse at a degree could teach. You
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: would have thought during that period of time they might
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: have recruited and molded some of those people. They've got
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: a bachelor's degree in I don't know whatever, that has
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with teaching. But if they started teaching
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: during COVID, when they were so desperate, you would think
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: they would have found a way to move those people
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: forward and keep them in the system. But now we're
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: lacking teachers again, right after you pass yet another levee.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: This is this is this is ridiculous. But again I'll
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: talk about that tomorrow. Right now, what I want to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: put in front of you is, do you you know
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: that kinder's gentler Facebook world Zuckerberg was talking about after
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump won the presidency again, and he was kind
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: of forced to admit that, you know, there was some
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: shadow banning, there was some censoring, there was Yes, there
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: was a and it was going to be a kinder,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: gentler Facebook world, right, Yes, bs man, I post I posted,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: And it's not like I'm all that, you know, I'm not.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not the special sauce that goes on the chicken fingers.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I'm just a guy. But I'm a guy who gets
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: attention on my social media pages. About eight hours ago
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I posted a clip and all I said was Joe
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Biden was right now from me, from me that is
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: going to get attention. But right before the Blazer show
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: ended and we took our little break there, I checked
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: not one like dislike heart cow utter, nothing, no comments, nothing,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: eight hours goes by nothing. Do you seriously think one
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: of my posts got absolutely nothing in eight hours? No?
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: But what was he right about? I'm curious because I
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: haven't seen it. Immigration and basically saying what you need
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: here is a federal government that's got the funds and
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the resources to come in and clean this up and
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: enforce the laws as they exist. Okay, yeah, and it's
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: he was right, But there's absolutely no way. Listen to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. There's no way, even though I'm not
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: being Shapiro, there's no way that my Facebook page did
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: not get at least a few likes, dislikes, or some
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: sort of reactions over an eight hour period. You think
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I'm being paranoid, Tell me, tell me what else is
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the answer? Tell me what else could possibly be an
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: answer to why? What am I post? I can post
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: on there? You know my left footage is I think
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I'll take off my shoe and scratch it, and somebody,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: even if it was a stupid response, somebody would respond
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: to that post. That's because I'm on there all the time.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I interact with you guys all the time. And in
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: this case, me of all people saying Joe Biden was
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: right and providing you a video and not one reaction.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I don't believe it. I think it's bogus. I think
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the Zuckerberg promise that that Facebook would be a better,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: more receptive place where people would not get shut down
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: or band or shadow band or whatever they call it.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I think I think Zuckerberg was full of crap. It
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: was just one of those things where in the moment
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: he had to say something to sound as if he
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: was building bridges as opposed to burning them down, much
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: like much of the liberal leadership immediately following the assassination
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: of Charlie Kirk, how they all said, Oh, this kind
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: of violence has no place in our system. And what
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: they were saying basically is we're terrified that some case
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: from the other side of the political offense is going
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to come after one of us. That's exactly what they
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: were worried about. And so they kind of chilled on
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that after a couple of days. And I have friends
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: who go overboard, if you will, in their attempt to
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: tell me how how they're not biased. They was want
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: to tell you, I'm not biased, I'm not a Democrat,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not a leftist, I'm not anti Republican. I'm not.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: But they really go out of their way to compensate
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: and to try to be objected to the point where
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: they are they are on the left. And one of them,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: who's a wonderful person, wonderful human being, put up a
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: very very long post today which essentially said I'm tired
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: of hearing about and talking about Charlie Kirk. That's his right.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: It culminated essentially with him saying he's not in favor
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: of all these people losing their jobs because they made
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: statements or put up a social media post or whatever
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: about about this killing and losing their jobs because they
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: of their freedom of speech. They see, here's the problem.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: They don't have freedom of speech. You have the freedom
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: to openly protest, you have the freedom to say whatever,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: but you do not have the freedom of suffering the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: repercussions of what you say, what you do, and there
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: are repercussions. If your company doesn't want you out there
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: representing them after putting something vile on social media, they
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: have every right to fire you. That's their freedom of speech.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk had his freedom of speech. You got him
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: a bullet. How many times did he appear somewhere, and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: you know, get a bunch of people trying to shut
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: him down, telling him what a fascist he was. You're
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: a fascist, You're a Nazi. Well, you know, fascist and
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Nazis stifle people with whom they disagree. He wasn't doing that.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: They were think about that. But when you lament the
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: people losing their jobs because they they got vile and
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: nasty and celebrated the death of a human being because
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: they disagreed with his policies, practices or politics, you feel
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: bad for them losing their jobs. I don't understand you.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I don't dislike you, but I don't understand you, and
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I don't think you are nearly as as balanced and
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: as independent minded as you try to tell the world
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: you are not if you can take that position the
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: words of Charlie Cook, there's another there's the thing out here.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: And again I groused off the air because we only
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: have so much time. Mikero and I talk it off
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the air today. Where what is Washington Times is at
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the Bezos paper. Washington Times fired their last black female
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: columnists today because she posted she posted Charlie Kirk, a
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: quote from Charlie Kirk in order to point out what
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: a racist, misogynist whatever he was, and his words. I
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: don't have him in front of me, but basically it
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: was say, as black women, you don't have the intellectual
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: capacity to do the job, so we need to go
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: find white women to do the job and hit. Those
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: words absolutely came out of his mouth, absolutely came out
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: of his mouth. Here's the problem. They didn't come out
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: of his mouth as just those words. They came out
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: of his mouth as part of a diatribe where he
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: was going off on the cold concept of DEI and
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: naming off the female black politician who had brought it
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to the table and was saying that she wouldn't have
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: been she wouldn't have been anywhere if it hadn't been
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: for de I and uh and uh and uh. What's
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the word the opportunity phrase? What is it? Yeah, affirmative action.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Hadn't been for DEI and affirmative action policies, she would
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: not be anywhere today. And and he said, you know,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: to you to to you know, Michelle Obama to blah
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: blah blah, blah blah blah, and named off several you know,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: prominent black women in Washington, d C. And so and so.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: What we're saying here is that us black women do
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: not have the intellectual capacity to do the job. The
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: job must be given to you because of your race,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: because of DEI. Instead, we should just go out and
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: get a white woman to do your job. Because you're
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: saying you don't have the capacity to do it. He
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: was actually arguing that you do have the capacity to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: do it. And to hold these policies up as something
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that is beneficial to you instead of something that should
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: be insulting to you is ridiculous. And when you hear
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: it all, you don't see what this woman printed in
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: her column in the paper. And of course she's upset
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: that she was fired because I only printed his words.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: They were exactly the words he used, Yes, they were
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: exactly the words he used, but they're absolutely not what
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: he was saying. And you damn well knew that before
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: you printed your column.
