Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Chuck Outs the Power Hour Teasday edition on six ten
- 0:03Speaker 1: Douvel the UTV and this principle at the Ridgeview Middle School.
- 0:06Speaker 1: I just I I normally I'm not like this. I mean,
- 0:10Speaker 1: I think everybody, uh, you know, gets a chance to
- 0:14Speaker 1: make their case. But in this case, the body cam
- 0:17Speaker 1: is pretty much all you need. As far as I'm
- 0:19Speaker 1: concerned that she needs to be fired. She needs to
- 0:22Speaker 1: be fired. She endangered the children in that school. She
- 0:27Speaker 1: endangered the faculty, the staff, everybody in that school. The
- 0:32Speaker 1: police were there to check out a bomb threat, which
- 0:36Speaker 1: turned out, thankfully to be phony. One of the students
- 0:39Speaker 1: will be taken to task for that. But the principal,
- 0:42Speaker 1: the principal of the school, would not allow the police
- 0:48Speaker 1: to be the police and to protect and to serve
- 0:51Speaker 1: the students at Ridgeview Middle School. Wouldn't let them come by,
- 0:56Speaker 1: and had some ridiculous, some ridiculous law line that she
- 1:02Speaker 1: told the police about about. You know, she just doesn't
- 1:06Speaker 1: believe they have her safety in mind. I say, fire her,
- 1:10Speaker 1: Fire her now, Columbus City School's Board of Education, fire
- 1:14Speaker 1: her now most of you are outgoing anyway, Fire her now,
- 1:16Speaker 1: get it done. Fire her now, protect the children above
- 1:20Speaker 1: all else. Forget about politics. Protect the children, or maybe
- 1:30Speaker 1: that's just me. I want to hear from you seriously,
- 1:33Speaker 1: I do. We got a few lines still available eight
- 1:34Speaker 1: two one ninety eight six eight two one WUTV, And
- 1:37Speaker 1: you guys, get in line, get on hold, and I'll
- 1:38Speaker 1: get to you. First. Let's do the final check of
- 1:40Speaker 1: the traffic situation out here from day night, heating and
- 1:43Speaker 1: cooling products and dual mechanical house it in Johnny six
- 1:51Speaker 1: point thirty seven checks. I listen to the Power hour six
- 1:53Speaker 1: ten WTV NA two one ninety eighty six is my
- 1:57Speaker 1: number A two one WTV And I'm talking about this
- 1:59Speaker 1: principle from Ridgeview Middle School who I should be fired
- 2:03Speaker 1: immediately if she has not been already, and not only that,
- 2:07Speaker 1: I believe her credentials for being either an educator or
- 2:10Speaker 1: an administrator in the state of Ohio should be yanked.
- 2:14Speaker 1: When the police officers showed up at Ridgeview because of
- 2:18Speaker 1: a report of a bomb, there was a bomb threat
- 2:22Speaker 1: at the school, Principal Natalie James came into the office
- 2:27Speaker 1: and said, I followed district protocol and the only reason,
- 2:29Speaker 1: let's be honest, I do not feel comfortable even interacting
- 2:32Speaker 1: with you. The body can was rolling. That's what she's
- 2:35Speaker 1: telling them. She would not let the officer come in
- 2:40Speaker 1: and do the officer's job in the face of a
- 2:43Speaker 1: bomb threat. What if your kids were in that school?
- 2:50Speaker 1: What if your kids were in that school? The principal
- 2:54Speaker 1: having such a care and mentality that she scared the
- 2:57Speaker 1: police officers. She doesn't feel he has her best interest
- 3:01Speaker 1: in mind. What what there's a bomb threat in the school.
- 3:07Speaker 1: You're putting your own prejudices in front of the well
- 3:11Speaker 1: being and safety of the student body and your staff
- 3:13Speaker 1: and your faculty. And I say you need to be
- 3:15Speaker 1: canned now two one ninety eight six my number eight

- 3:28Speaker 3: Why did they hide it? And why did any of
- 3:31Speaker 3: the local news station's broadcasts? What what's the cover up here?
- 3:37Speaker 1: This is this all happened back on March thirteenth. Why
- 3:40Speaker 1: we're only hearing about it now is beyond me? And
- 3:43Speaker 1: uh uh you know, I'm I've got the story in
- 3:45Speaker 1: front of me here on the WSYX six websites, so
- 3:47Speaker 1: I know at least they are covering the story. But
- 3:49Speaker 1: let's not forget we also have another story of a
- 3:52Speaker 1: teacher just a week ago that wanted to pay a
- 3:54Speaker 1: kid two grand to kill her husband. Right, we have
- 3:57Speaker 1: some twisted people in education right now?
- 4:00Speaker 3: Man, Well you say Columbus City schools and that's what.
- 4:04Speaker 1: You get, am I? I mean, are you in agreement
- 4:09Speaker 1: with me here? John? Do you think she should go
- 4:10Speaker 1: right now? Right? I mean, no, no more quest just
- 4:12Speaker 1: get rid of her right.
- 4:13Speaker 3: Now now, no questions, no no answering, no waiting for
- 4:20Speaker 3: some bull crapp email. You're fired.
- 4:25Speaker 1: I'm just I'm I'm flabbergasted that you know, you're the
- 4:30Speaker 1: principal of the school, you are the head of the
- 4:32Speaker 1: totem bowl in this school, and your personal issues about
- 4:37Speaker 1: the police. Uh, you endangered the kids and had God
- 4:40Speaker 1: forbid something gone wrong?
- 4:41Speaker 2: Man?
- 4:42Speaker 1: Whose response again?
- 4:43Speaker 3: The word again, the word bomb? Come on, woman? What
- 4:47Speaker 3: are you stupid?
- 4:49Speaker 1: Absolutely? Absolutely, John, Thanks for the call. I appreciate you.
- 4:52Speaker 1: A two one nine and eight six A two one
- 4:54Speaker 1: WU t V And Danny, you're on the Legacy Retirement
- 4:57Speaker 1: Group dot com phone lines.
- 4:58Speaker 4: You know, I'm how silent that the Chief of Polices
- 5:02Speaker 4: has been, and that's what I have not seen her.
- 5:04Speaker 4: She used to be on TV demanding it did this
- 5:06Speaker 4: woman be moved? I also would like to put out
- 5:09Speaker 4: a call out to the governor. Governor of the wine
- 5:12Speaker 4: called her, so tell her to fire this woman or
- 5:15Speaker 4: you're going to withhold funds.
- 5:17Speaker 1: And whatever the state needs to do to make sure
- 5:19Speaker 1: she is never an educator or an amnistry.
- 5:22Speaker 4: Because I wonder if these police officers were white, Chuck,
- 5:27Speaker 4: maybe that's the reason why.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Yeah, or the responding officer. I mean, I'm looking at
- 5:30Speaker 1: the body cam footage year and as I as I'm
- 5:34Speaker 1: watching them walk in, at least one of the two
- 5:36Speaker 1: officers I'm looking at is a white male. So yeah,
- 5:39Speaker 1: if that came into play, even more a reason to
- 5:42Speaker 1: get rid of her.
- 5:43Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, that's right there. Or there would have
- 5:46Speaker 4: been an explosion and killed.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Some of the kids.
- 5:49Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. If it's your kids are in there,
- 5:51Speaker 1: your neighbor's kids, any kids are in there, how do
- 5:54Speaker 1: you want this handle? Do you want a receptionist and
- 5:58Speaker 1: a principal say well, you can't check for a bomb
- 6:01Speaker 1: in the school. That's ridiculous, That's right.
- 6:04Speaker 4: I wonder who called them.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Do you the school called. That's just it. The school
- 6:09Speaker 1: called because of a bomb threat, and when the police
- 6:12Speaker 1: showed up, they wouldn't let the police be the police.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Oh lord, there.
- 6:17Speaker 4: Needs to be the parents need to be their protesting
- 6:20Speaker 4: to get rid of this woman.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, I'm with you on that too, Dana. They
- 6:24Speaker 1: hold signs up for everything else. Let's hold signs up
- 6:26Speaker 1: for something that matters. Appreciate the call, Ddy, thanks very much.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Take care of yourself. Chuck. You are on six to ten,
- 6:32Speaker 1: do w ETVN good?
- 6:35Speaker 5: Mark? Good?
- 6:36Speaker 3: Then?
- 6:38Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate you. I hang on a set. Do
- 6:41Speaker 1: we have any sound effects? Fireworks? Sound effects? It for
- 6:44Speaker 1: a first time caller. No, we have absolutely nothing for you, Chuck,
- 6:47Speaker 1: But I appreciate your call. Nonetheless.
- 6:49Speaker 3: Well that's all right.
- 6:50Speaker 5: I'm just glad to be able to put in my
- 6:51Speaker 5: two cents worth. I normally just wish I could call in,
- 6:55Speaker 5: but I had to find the number I had to
- 6:57Speaker 5: call in. I think the woman should have been arrested
- 6:59Speaker 5: on the spot. If the bad guys can get into
- 7:03Speaker 5: the office, then when the police show up, they were like,
- 7:06Speaker 5: oh no, we.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Can't let you in.
- 7:08Speaker 5: They were there for a legitimate reasons.
- 7:10Speaker 3: Yeah, my opinion, you're withhold.
- 7:12Speaker 5: You're you're with stopping them from investigating. You're right, in
- 7:16Speaker 5: a domestic violence situation, a man on the situation is
- 7:20Speaker 5: automatically placing cuffs just for everybody.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Obstruction of official police business. You are right, Chuck. I
- 7:27Speaker 1: hadn't even been thinking about that.
- 7:28Speaker 5: Released later, you know, no charges whatever, You know what
- 7:31Speaker 5: I mean. But no, we're not leaving here without checking
- 7:35Speaker 5: for the bomb. I don't care about your feelings. You
- 7:40Speaker 5: know you're Are you scared be scared in the back
- 7:42Speaker 5: of the cruiser, Yeah, the spot.
- 7:44Speaker 3: You can be.
- 7:45Speaker 1: And I'll be honest with you, Chuck. If I if
- 7:46Speaker 1: I was Let's say I'm driving a tour bus full
- 7:50Speaker 1: of children to to uh To. We're going to go
- 7:53Speaker 1: up to King's Island or see the Point tour but
- 7:56Speaker 1: and somebody says there's a bomb on the bus, and
- 7:59Speaker 1: the bomb square guy shows up and he's wearing a
- 8:02Speaker 1: clan robe. I want his butt on that bus fighting
- 8:05Speaker 1: a bomb. I don't care what he's wearing. I don't
- 8:07Speaker 1: care what he's affiliated with. I don't care what he believes,
- 8:09Speaker 1: as long as he does his job and protects the children.
- 8:12Speaker 3: Right.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. I appreciate the first one.
- 8:15Speaker 1: I hope we hear many more from you. Chuck, thanks
- 8:17Speaker 1: very much. A two one ninety eighty six A two
- 8:19Speaker 1: one WTV. And this, this is this is far beyond unacceptable.
- 8:26Speaker 1: This is far beyond this is dangerous for anybody to
- 8:32Speaker 1: get to that place in their mind where they would
- 8:35Speaker 1: sacrifice the well being of the students of that's a
- 8:40Speaker 1: middle school, that's sixth, seventh, and eighth grade people. Those
- 8:45Speaker 1: kids are eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen years old. A bomb threat.
- 8:54Speaker 1: And because this woman has a problem with either the
- 9:00Speaker 1: police or white men or white and police or white
- 9:04Speaker 1: people or men or badges or or or whatever, it
- 9:10Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You do not risk the safety of the
- 9:15Speaker 1: children because of your personal bias. Ever, if you don't
- 9:21Speaker 1: have the safety of the children first and foremost in
- 9:24Speaker 1: your mind, you have absolutely no business working with children.
- 9:28Speaker 1: Or again, maybe that's just me. Ah two n WTVN
- 9:31Speaker 1: is my number, Craig, you're on six ten double UTVN.
- 9:35Speaker 3: Well, it's nice to bring a light on this, but
- 9:38Speaker 3: there's really no point in talking about it because nothing's
- 9:41Speaker 3: gonna happen to her.
- 9:42Speaker 1: And yet you called my phone to talk about it.
- 9:46Speaker 3: She's not even she's not even going to get disciplined.
- 9:49Speaker 1: No, she must be, and we we as human beings,
- 9:53Speaker 1: as people, need to make sure that something happens here.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Brian Steele. Being ignored to this point from the superintendent's
- 10:01Speaker 1: not acceptable either. We need accountability and we need repercussions
- 10:05Speaker 1: for this.
- 10:07Speaker 3: I got an idea why she behaved the way she did.
- 10:11Speaker 1: Go ahead, she.
- 10:11Speaker 3: Thought, y'all, she thought the officer probably voted for Trump.
- 10:16Speaker 1: You know what, as I know you think you're making
- 10:18Speaker 1: a joke, Craig, But guess what, dude, that is not
- 10:22Speaker 1: out of the question these days, that is not out
- 10:26Speaker 1: of the question. And that's a sad, sad thing. But
- 10:28Speaker 1: that's that's the way we are rolling through reality in
- 10:31Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Thanks for the call A two one
- 10:33Speaker 1: WTVN and will you are on the Legacy Retirement Group
- 10:36Speaker 1: dot com phone line? Hi?
- 10:38Speaker 2: Yes, I would be very tickled if she was to
- 10:41Speaker 2: get thirty days in the damn electric chair.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Thirty days in the electric chair. That's well done, man.
- 10:47Speaker 2: Oh that lady. She should not be allowed on ever,
- 10:51Speaker 2: on that property or any property in Ohio or any
- 10:55Speaker 2: school matter of fact, not.
- 10:57Speaker 1: As no, not in the capacity as a teacher or administrator.
- 11:00Speaker 1: She has shown here that her personal bias supersedes the
- 11:03Speaker 1: safety of the students. That means you're out.
- 11:05Speaker 2: She was confused the way she looked. She looked like
- 11:08Speaker 2: she was going to a funeral anyway.
- 11:11Speaker 1: You know, I because the world has changed so very much,
- 11:15Speaker 1: and I guess the rule is different for ladies than
- 11:17Speaker 1: it is for men. But I was always told you
- 11:19Speaker 1: had you took your hat off indoors and that. When
- 11:22Speaker 1: I saw that video, I'm like, why is she wearing
- 11:24Speaker 1: a hat?
- 11:28Speaker 2: Yeah, that tastes will get your other caller, but I
- 11:33Speaker 2: just get her the hell OLLI here? I don't ever
- 11:35Speaker 2: see that there? What's her name again?
- 11:37Speaker 1: Her name is? Hang on and say andrewa something. You're
- 11:42Speaker 1: making me scroll on my computer here. The principle is
- 11:46Speaker 1: Natalie James? Is her name?
- 11:47Speaker 2: Oh, Natalie James?
- 11:49Speaker 1: Natalie James. Yes, so you and I are on the
- 11:51Speaker 1: same page on this one. Will I appreciate you, buddy,
- 11:54Speaker 1: thank you. It just I don't know, And it's not
- 11:58Speaker 1: just a children What if it was a rest home
- 12:01Speaker 1: where you know, elderly people are nursing facility something like that.
- 12:05Speaker 1: What if it was up I don't know, a hospital whatever.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Your standing guard over people that that need you, depend
- 12:15Speaker 1: on you and count on you. And when you are
- 12:18Speaker 1: are in potential trouble, here the people show up who
- 12:21Speaker 1: can fix the trouble, save you, protect you, and you
- 12:25Speaker 1: you stand guard and won't won't let them in, won't
- 12:28Speaker 1: let them do what they're there to do. Wow. A
- 12:31Speaker 1: two nine and eight six A two n WTVN Steve,
- 12:34Speaker 1: you're on six ten w ETVN fight Chuck.
- 12:37Speaker 3: Hey, I'm just wondering why the police weren't allowed to
- 12:40Speaker 3: override her. For one. I mean, I look at it
- 12:43Speaker 3: like this, if if your neighbor called and said there
- 12:46Speaker 3: was something going on with your kids at your house,
- 12:49Speaker 3: you can believe they're coming in to get your kids.
- 12:52Speaker 3: I mean, that's just all there is to it.
- 12:54Speaker 1: You know.
- 12:55Speaker 3: How how is she able to do that? That's just
- 12:58Speaker 3: just beyond me. I seem fa them, if she had
- 13:00Speaker 3: the right to do that, they should have said, look,
- 13:03Speaker 3: either get off to the side and out the door
- 13:05Speaker 3: or whatever, or we're arresting you right now. That's just
- 13:09Speaker 3: I you know, I can't believe it when, especially like
- 13:13Speaker 3: I said, if there was some kind of domestic something
- 13:16Speaker 3: going on at home and they wanted to come in.
- 13:19Speaker 3: And look, they're coming in. You have no right to
- 13:22Speaker 3: say they can't come in. I don't understand. I don't
- 13:25Speaker 3: understand what the difference is. I really don't.
- 13:27Speaker 1: I don't either, and you know, hopefully this will resolve
- 13:31Speaker 1: itself very quickly, Steve, thanks very much. Let me get
- 13:33Speaker 1: to Frank here. Frankiere on sixth N WTVN, Chuck, Hey.
- 13:40Speaker 3: Maybe she saw that the police officers had pocket knives
- 13:45Speaker 3: and she didn't want to let him in.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Because of that.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Now they got all kinds of stuff on that Batman
- 13:51Speaker 1: utility belt. But I don't care what I don't. They
- 13:53Speaker 1: could have come in there carrying a bazooka for all
- 13:56Speaker 1: I care. If they are there as police officers and
- 13:58Speaker 1: there's a bomb threat in your school, you don't dan
- 14:00Speaker 1: guard and refuse to let them in. That's just true.
- 14:04Speaker 1: That's that's absolutely nuts. Thanks Frank, Tim you're on six WTVN, Hey, Chuck.
- 14:10Speaker 6: I'm not totally surprised with this, but he should have
- 14:12Speaker 6: been arrested for her obstruction of justice. She was hindering
- 14:21Speaker 6: the police officer and doing his job, so I think
- 14:24Speaker 6: she should have been arrested and charged on the spot.
- 14:26Speaker 1: Yeah, and that you know that that's still not out
- 14:28Speaker 1: of the question as far as I'm concerned, because again,
- 14:30Speaker 1: it is all on bodycam, got video of everything, and
- 14:35Speaker 1: I don't think that's out of the question yet. I
- 14:37Speaker 1: want to see Angela Chapman, doctor Chapman, at the club
- 14:39Speaker 1: of City School Superintendent's office. I want to see her
- 14:42Speaker 1: step up and say this was this was absolutely wrong,
- 14:45Speaker 1: and we're not going to stand for it.
- 14:48Speaker 4: I do that.
- 14:50Speaker 1: I'm not going to hold my breath. I'm not going
- 14:53Speaker 1: to hold my breath, but I hope for the best.
- 14:55Speaker 1: Tim thank you for the call. I got to say
- 14:56Speaker 1: goodbye because the music is playing, which means, indeed, it
- 14:59Speaker 1: is time for me to fly.
