Latest / Chuck Douglas / Thoughts on Nancy Guthrie and other news
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, a couple of things. We've got the Savannah
- 0:03Speaker 1: Guthrie story. I've got a couple of thoughts on that. Again,
- 0:05Speaker 1: they're going to seem kind of outrageous to some people,
- 0:06Speaker 1: but you know, I am what I am. I say
- 0:08Speaker 1: what I mean. That's how I roll. And the the
- 0:11Speaker 1: the bomb threats today, which people immediately began trying to
- 0:15Speaker 1: use as political fall out to separate the humans again
- 0:20Speaker 1: started I get did Springfield? Do you know Springfield was first?
- 0:23Speaker 1: Or was Columbus first?
- 0:24Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 0:24Speaker 1: That's all because the Springfield story was the first from
- 0:28Speaker 1: the Springfield New Sun. They reported the bomb threats down
- 0:31Speaker 1: there at the high school, and then they evacuated streets
- 0:35Speaker 1: and told everybody to get home and and this kind
- 0:38Speaker 1: of thing. And immediately this become a you know, a
- 0:41Speaker 1: Trump and Haitians thing that the speculation automatically went there.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Oh it's more of those Trump people, and they're trying
- 0:48Speaker 1: to stop it. Please stop it. Some numbnuts is out there.
- 0:53Speaker 1: It's calling in a bomb threat. Whoever they are. Hopefully
- 0:56Speaker 1: they will find a way to catch them. I mean,
- 0:58Speaker 1: as Alex was talking earlier, these VPNs are making it
- 1:01Speaker 1: more and more difficult but I firmly believe if you
- 1:06Speaker 1: do something like that to induce mass panic, whether for
- 1:11Speaker 1: political reasons or just because you're some stupid kid that
- 1:14Speaker 1: doesn't want to go to school that day or whatever,
- 1:19Speaker 1: you need to be held as responsible as possible. I mean,
- 1:24Speaker 1: you need to serve some time over this, this kind
- 1:28Speaker 1: of thing. We cannot keep doing this people, We can't
- 1:30Speaker 1: keep you know, smacking on the wrist and all. Well,
- 1:33Speaker 1: they didn't mean that. They would just say, when you're
- 1:35Speaker 1: calling in bomb threats or emailing in bomb threats or
- 1:40Speaker 1: posting bomb threats to social media and inducing mass panic,
- 1:47Speaker 1: I mean that's I'm sorry. You know what you're doing,
- 1:50Speaker 1: and you need to pay a price for it. Same
- 1:52Speaker 1: thing here with the Columbus City schools. I believe thirty
- 1:54Speaker 1: different schools in the city of Columbus received email bomb
- 1:58Speaker 1: threats and I underst and didn't. Somebody also threatened to
- 2:02Speaker 1: have an explosive at the state House.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Yeah, Columbus State House got threatened.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Also, Yeah, this is inexcusable. We can argue all you want,
- 2:11Speaker 1: I don't. That's part of the political process, arguing about things,
- 2:15Speaker 1: hammering them out, coming to conclusions, making agreements, and moving ahead.
- 2:19Speaker 1: That is how the republic works. But threats of violence
- 2:26Speaker 1: and depth and destruction and children having to be pulled
- 2:30Speaker 1: out of schools, and you know, having to worry about
- 2:33Speaker 1: evacuating buildings and closing streets and all of this crap
- 2:39Speaker 1: because you want to prove a point, scare people feel
- 2:42Speaker 1: like a big, bad bully. No, you need to pay
- 2:46Speaker 1: a price for that. No smack on the wrist, No
- 2:49Speaker 1: simple fine. If you are if you're intelligent enough to
- 2:53Speaker 1: do it, you're intelligent enough to know what you're doing.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Why do you would tell me fourteen I don't care.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Fourteen years old today is not the same as fourteen
- 3:05Speaker 1: years old in twenty twenty, not the same as fourteen
- 3:08Speaker 1: years old in nineteen ninety, Not the same most definitely
- 3:10Speaker 1: as fourteen year olds in nineteen seventy. That's something else
- 3:15Speaker 1: we have to accept. Here and there we get stories
- 3:19Speaker 1: of atrocious, heinous crimes committed by children. What three years ago?
- 3:27Speaker 2: Was it?
- 3:27Speaker 1: Three years ago we had the ten year old, eleven
- 3:31Speaker 1: year old and I think an eight year old charged
- 3:33Speaker 1: with abducting and raping a girl. We hadn't too long.
- 3:38Speaker 2: That was a year ago or so, I remember you
- 3:39Speaker 2: talking about that.
- 3:40Speaker 1: We had the six year old kid that brought the
- 3:42Speaker 1: gun to school and shot the kindergarten teacher. The kids
- 3:47Speaker 1: today are not the same as the kids when you
- 3:49Speaker 1: were a kid. They are definitely, definitely different, and we've
- 3:57Speaker 1: got to start understanding, you know what, we can't toddle.
- 4:00Speaker 1: We cannot coddle all that feel good stuff. It's going
- 4:07Speaker 1: to it's got to result in a lot more people
- 4:09Speaker 1: getting hurt. They won't even need AI to do it,
- 4:13Speaker 1: because there's enough real life crazies out there. And some
- 4:17Speaker 1: of them, yes, are kids, but you know, a twelve
- 4:23Speaker 1: year old kid who goes gets a gun, hunts somebody
- 4:27Speaker 1: down and shoots them knew what they were doing. You
- 4:32Speaker 1: can't excuse it now. Perhaps at twelve, you don't want
- 4:35Speaker 1: them in the you know, the electric chair. You don't
- 4:37Speaker 1: want to put them in prison for the rest of
- 4:39Speaker 1: their life, but they do need to be put away
- 4:43Speaker 1: and rehabilitated if at all possible, And you won't know
- 4:47Speaker 1: that until you put them back on the street, at
- 4:49Speaker 1: which point they need to be monitored. I posted on
- 4:52Speaker 1: my Facebook page a little while a though former Franklin
- 4:54Speaker 1: County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien had made me aware of this
- 4:58Speaker 1: and said, yeah, we need to pass this. We absolutely do,
- 5:00Speaker 1: which is why I shared it. A law that would
- 5:03Speaker 1: make that would make mandatory real time monitoring of some
- 5:11Speaker 1: of these felons with their little ankle bracelets that go home.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Make that of the law. You have to do it.
- 5:17Speaker 1: And he said, you know, he pointed out Reagan Toaks,
- 5:20Speaker 1: as you have to. I fume about that every time
- 5:24Speaker 1: I think about it. This guy, this dirt ball, this
- 5:29Speaker 1: waste of flesh, was out on parole wearing a ankle bracelet,
- 5:37Speaker 1: a monitor bracelet was supposed to stay at home, not
- 5:40Speaker 1: go out into the world. Nobody was monitoring it. So
- 5:49Speaker 1: he ends up snatching this young woman when she leaves
- 5:51Speaker 1: work and taking her to a park and leaving her
- 5:55Speaker 1: dead body because nobody was monitoring the ankle monitor. Absolutely,
- 6:07Speaker 1: that needs to be mandatory. Absolutely, And again, I don't
- 6:11Speaker 1: care if you are forty five or fifteen. If you
- 6:16Speaker 1: have proven yourself to be a violent part of society,
- 6:20Speaker 1: you need to be rehabilitated and monitored until you are
- 6:25Speaker 1: rehabilitated or prove that you are not. And eventually, like
- 6:31Speaker 1: they say, first you don't succeed, try try again, then
- 6:33Speaker 1: you give up. Don't be a damn fool about it.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Don't laugh at that. A two one nine eighty six
- 6:39Speaker 1: and I are got Rick standing by here. Let's get
- 6:41Speaker 1: him on. Rick, You're on six ten doable e TV
- 6:42Speaker 1: and high.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Hey, good, good evening. What about good old fashioned corporal
- 6:46Speaker 2: punishment to those little kids? Yeah, thanking, of course, of course,
- 6:51Speaker 2: then then the parents will get put away for child abuse.
- 6:55Speaker 1: You know what, I have maintained my entire adult life
- 6:59Speaker 1: since becoming a father for the very first time in
- 7:01Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one. I would rather have to face the
- 7:04Speaker 1: slings and arrows of a ridiculous legal system because I
- 7:06Speaker 1: did the right thing the right way when it was required,
- 7:09Speaker 1: then to stand back and be afraid of things and
- 7:11Speaker 1: let my child try into something.
- 7:13Speaker 2: You know, you like this. When my young son was
- 7:16Speaker 2: acting up in school. I mean this goes back even before,
- 7:19Speaker 2: way way long ago, but he was one of his
- 7:21Speaker 2: kids just couldn't sit still. The kids smart as a whip,
- 7:24Speaker 2: but he just he was you know, he had fun
- 7:27Speaker 2: and good. I took a dirty soft in and get
- 7:29Speaker 2: handed to the teacher as out here when he starts
- 7:31Speaker 2: doing that and you shoved this third you know it
- 7:33Speaker 2: didn't happen, but I just got his attention shoved this
- 7:36Speaker 2: in his mouth to shut him up. She looked at
- 7:39Speaker 2: me like, oh my god, are you really doing that?
- 7:42Speaker 1: Well, yeah, of course, just the fact that you showed
- 7:44Speaker 1: up pretty fun. Just the fact that you showed up
- 7:47Speaker 1: put a little chill in his shorts, and that's what
- 7:49Speaker 1: he needed. YEP. I remember being in the when Meyers
- 7:52Speaker 1: still had a store over on George'sville Road on the
- 7:54Speaker 1: West Side. I was in there one night and h
- 7:56Speaker 1: and my son was acting up and he was just
- 7:58Speaker 1: a loud, obnoxious. There no reason for it. He just
- 8:01Speaker 1: he was in one of those moods. And I asked
- 8:03Speaker 1: him several times, calm yourself down, don't do that, don't
- 8:06Speaker 1: do that, and he wouldn't stop, and he started grabbing
- 8:09Speaker 1: candy at the checkout and I lifted him up and
- 8:12Speaker 1: I gave him one good whack on the posterior, and
- 8:14Speaker 1: this old guy behind me goes, Nice to see somebody
- 8:16Speaker 1: still knows how to do it, for sure. For sure,
- 8:21Speaker 1: I appreciate you, Ricky. Take care of yourself. And you know,
- 8:23Speaker 1: you got to admit this, whether you like it or not.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Before everybody started getting socially aware and you know, the
- 8:31Speaker 1: you needed government approval to discipline your child and all
- 8:35Speaker 1: that stuff. Where were the dry by shootings? There were
- 8:40Speaker 1: kids taking rifles to school at rural school so they
- 8:42Speaker 1: can go squirrel hunting afterwards? Where were the drive by shootings?
- 8:47Speaker 1: Where was the drug use? When parents were allowed, inclined
- 8:50Speaker 1: and able to be parents, the world was a better
- 8:56Speaker 1: place period. That's not even a debate for me. You
- 9:03Speaker 1: can believe what you want, but that's where I stand. Jim.
- 9:05Speaker 1: You are on sixth Nable ETV and I.
- 9:07Speaker 3: All My comment is what happened to the reform schools
- 9:13Speaker 3: for kids? And the other thing that I'd like to
- 9:16Speaker 3: say is why aren't the parents held responsible for the
- 9:22Speaker 3: cost of the police happen to search every school. I
- 9:29Speaker 3: think that if these parents who have these children should
- 9:35Speaker 3: be responsible enough to.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Be built for this, for searching searching the school for what?
- 9:44Speaker 3: For bombs?
- 9:45Speaker 1: Oh well if yeah, if they find out a kid
- 9:47Speaker 1: did it, yeah they should. That responsibility should fall on
- 9:50Speaker 1: that parent and that family. And if the parents any
- 9:53Speaker 1: kind of parent, their kid will not have an end
- 9:56Speaker 1: of chores to make up for the expense for a
- 9:58Speaker 1: very very long time. But they got to prove who
- 10:01Speaker 1: did it first. They that's hard to do these days.
- 10:05Speaker 3: Well, yes, so many times they have found them though,
- 10:08Speaker 3: and at any rate, like you said, these days, it
- 10:11Speaker 3: is hard. But I do feel that the parents hold
- 10:15Speaker 3: a lot of responsibility.
- 10:16Speaker 2: I like one other comment.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Okay, real quick, I think the.
- 10:20Speaker 3: I think that the arms that hold the baby rock.
- 10:30Speaker 2: Throw the world.
- 10:31Speaker 3: And I do believe that we need more mothers at
- 10:35Speaker 3: home during the child rearing age. I just believe that's very.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Very Oh yeah, I think so too. I think so too.
- 10:43Speaker 1: But you know, we, Jim, we got so materialistic. Everybody
- 10:47Speaker 1: had to have two cars instead of one car. Everybody,
- 10:50Speaker 1: the kids had to wear all the designer clothes. Gotta
- 10:52Speaker 1: have the Nike tennis shoes, got to have the Michael
- 10:54Speaker 1: Koor's T shirt for the little girl. Got all that stuff.
- 10:57Speaker 1: So two incomes. You gotta have two incomes to pay
- 10:59Speaker 1: for a thing these days. So you stick them in
- 11:01Speaker 1: a daycare or whatever, and then your kid gets brought
- 11:04Speaker 1: up around a bunch of other bad kids because their
- 11:05Speaker 1: parents don't know how to be parents. And your kid
- 11:07Speaker 1: brings that home and shows their brothers and sisters, and
- 11:10Speaker 1: then you got your hands full. And I have to
- 11:12Speaker 1: wonder if that second car was really worth it. Amen,
- 11:16Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Jim, thanks very much. A two one
- 11:18Speaker 1: nine eight eighty six my number. Before I go, I
- 11:20Speaker 1: got to say this about the Savannah gu three case.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Mark and I were talking off the air about this.
- 11:25Speaker 1: I'm not heartless about this at all. I'm not trying
- 11:29Speaker 1: to be. In fact, I saw a former FBI director
- 11:33Speaker 1: today that I think is on the same page. I'm on.
- 11:39Speaker 1: I don't think what we're dealing with here is what's
- 11:43Speaker 1: being portrayed to us. Just my gut, I think they
- 11:50Speaker 1: know where she is. I think they know not necessarily
- 11:54Speaker 1: where she is, but who took her. This does not
- 11:57Speaker 1: feel like a stream your abduction in the middle of
- 12:01Speaker 1: the night, whether it's a friend, family member, whatever. I
- 12:07Speaker 1: believe that the family has an inkling at least as
- 12:11Speaker 1: to who took this woman out of her home. Fifty
- 12:15Speaker 1: thousand dollars reward from the FBI. You know, there's absolutely
- 12:21Speaker 1: no reason that's not a million dollars because Savannah Guthrie
- 12:26Speaker 1: and the rest of the family and NBC would step
- 12:29Speaker 1: up whatever million dollar reward leading to the arrest conviction
- 12:33Speaker 1: of whoever did it. But it's fifty thousand dollars, This sporadic,
- 12:40Speaker 1: noncommittal communication that they keep saying they got we got
- 12:43Speaker 1: your letter, but we need to be able to communicate
- 12:45Speaker 1: with you. If somebody really had this woman and was
- 12:47Speaker 1: looking for ransom, there'd be no ifsands or butts. There'd
- 12:51Speaker 1: be no doubts. You wouldn't have to make videos to
- 12:53Speaker 1: talk to them. They would be in touch, whether by telephone, email,
- 13:00Speaker 1: a carrier pigeon. They would make their demands known and
- 13:02Speaker 1: set a deadline. Something is not right about this story,
- 13:09Speaker 1: and I don't know what it is. I don't know
- 13:10Speaker 1: if somebody's complicit. I'm not sure. But when the smoke clears,
- 13:17Speaker 1: I believe, as the old saying goes, we are being
- 13:20Speaker 1: sold to Bill Goods about this. I really do, And
- 13:24Speaker 1: I hope that. I hope she is okay. I hope
- 13:28Speaker 1: it is somebody they know the fact that she's been
- 13:32Speaker 1: without her medication all this time makes me wonder if
- 13:37Speaker 1: she's with somebody who had that medication on hand. Would
- 13:42Speaker 1: that surprise you. Family does crazy stuff, Alleged friends do
- 13:49Speaker 1: crazy stuff. I can't tell you what it is. I
- 13:54Speaker 1: can only tell you that I don't think it is
- 13:57Speaker 1: what we've been told it is, so it's official now
- 14:01Speaker 1: I've said it. We'll see what happens in the coming days.
