  Speaker 1: We are back, part two of the Power Hour this
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Monday evening on 610 WTVN. 821-9886 is my number. Ray
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: dropped off there. We were talking about the self-checkout crap
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: that I just won't do it. I refuse to do it.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to do it until I get an
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: employee discount. I will either wait for a cashier to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: be available, or I'll go elsewhere where a cashier is available.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I was joking with Zach during the news there because
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: was she a candidate or is she elected politician? Who
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: was that woman?
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I was playing around on the computer. I was listening,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: but I heard it.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: And that's all I heard. Was Anderson the last name?
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I don't recall the first name. I couldn't get past
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: it because I swear they said her name was Urethra.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I heard it, too. And I, you know, you don't
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: even hear it unless you're watching King of the Hill.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I have a neural urethra. You don't hear that word.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: But they were somebody in the news story and it
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: just everything stopped. When I heard the name. And so
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking, you know, what are the crazy names out there?
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: We've had some politics. Remember when everybody went Barack Hussein, Obama. Oh,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: my gosh. Yeah. That seems relatively normal at this point.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Now we got Zoran Mamdami. who sounds like he's like
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the bad guy in a sci-fi movie. Really, I am
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Zoran of Mondomni. It doesn't sound like a real name.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: And if we're going to add urethra to that list, man,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: we're just messed up. But I googled some actual politician names.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: And before I get into the politician that I said
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I was going to get into this half hour, I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: got to share this with you. The first, well, actually
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: here in the state of Ohio, the great state of Ohio,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: We did have the oddest name that I can find
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: is Salmon Chase.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: That's a little, that's different.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: He's a governor of Ohio and a U.S. secretary or
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a treasury secretary. And yeah, that's the craziest I was
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: able to find here in the state of Ohio. The
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: first guy was the mayor of Fort Wayne, Indiana. His
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: name's Harry. I'm not going to say his last name.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I just can't bring myself to do it. But it
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: could be Baskets or Foot.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: That's an actual name. Of a mayor of Fort Wayne, India.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Young Boozer III.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Young Boozer. State treasurer in Alabama, famous for the campaign motto,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: funny name, serious leadership. I like it. Crystal Ball. Democrat
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: candidate who ran for Congress in the state of Virginia.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I can't say this one either.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Hang on, I'm going to talk to Zach off the air.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, I can't get away with that one,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think, even though it's his name. It's not
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: worth it. Yeah, I like this job. Speedy O'Long. What?
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Speedy O'Long.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Was that somebody who was older or who has passed now?
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: He was a U.S. representative from Louisiana, and judging from
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: this odd picture– It's rather dated. It looks like it
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: came from around 1970. Let's see. He served from 1965
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: until 1973. Speedy O. Long. His middle name was actually Oteria. O-T-E-R-I-A. Oteria. Wow. J.J. Pickle.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Long-serving U.S. representative from Texas. Epigene Wingo.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Effigy and Wingo.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Effigy and Wingo, U.S. representative from the state of Arkansas.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: And apparently this is a topic of conversation that's been
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: had before. I found a couple of articles and some
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: broadcast material. Even NPR did a show, one of their
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: hour-long things that they do on NPR, about political odd names.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: But those are just a few that I managed to
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: find during the break. actually this guy has kind of
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a strange name it's not a bad name or anything
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: but Sherrod or Sherrod if you're a national correspondent Sherrod
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Brown during the I think it was the 4 o'clock
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: hour Columbus Dispatch headline pops up on my screen over
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: there as I'm in here with Blazer that says Sherrod
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Brown says he would not vote for impeachment of Donald
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Trump if elected to the Senate well first of all
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the House is going to start that it will go
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to the Senate for the, you know, prosecution, but the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: house was started. However, putting that technicality aside, does anybody
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: believe that? Seriously? Does it? Cause I would like to 821-9886.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: If you really believe that I would like for you
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to call and convince me because if Sherrod Brown had
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the opportunity as a United States Senator to To vote
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to prosecute Donald Trump after the House impeachment. I absolutely
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: believe he would. And the only reason I can figure
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that he would even say that at this point and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: suddenly that's hitting the news cycle. Is because he's trying
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to bring some crossover votes. And maybe just maybe he
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: thinks he's going to appeal. To some Republicans that are
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: tired of Republicans. That's the only thing I can figure.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I just. What is that thing where you can bet
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: on anything?
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Couchy or poly.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I need to pull one of those up and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: see if this is a thing I can bet on.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Because if the world turns upside down and he actually
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: gets elected to the Senate again. Yes, of course, he
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: would vote in favor of prosecuting Donald Trump after impeachment.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, somebody had to have told him that for sure.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Strategic reasons, I just don't know who was not going
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: to vote for him that hears that goes, you know,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I might vote for him now.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I have to wonder to one person, I would imagine, but.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I have to wonder, too. I mean, there had to
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: be some advice given there that said, here, you need
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: to do this. But when that popped up on my
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: screen this afternoon, I just I'm sorry.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: And, you know, here's here's my big this. This isn't
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: even anti really Sherrod Brown. I support Senator Husted. I
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: support voting for him and I will be doing so.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: We we I think we have a good relationship and
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: he is always open to listening and and talking things out.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I like that about him. But but basically, here's what
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: it comes down to, because I can't say he's he
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: won't be the best senator ever in the state. I
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: don't know. I know he's the kind of guy who
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: will try to be our best. I know that he
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: will do his best to be his best as a
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: representative of Ohio. I get that. But here's the logic
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: that I don't think anybody, even from a party aspect,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: it's a valid point. He's had two years. It takes
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: two years just to learn where the bathrooms are. He's
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: had two years. Sherrod Brown had 32 years. And the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: people of the state of Ohio said, you know what, bye-bye.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: And they elected Bernie Marino. After 32 years, bye-bye. And
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I would think, quite frankly, after going to the same
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: job for 32 years, he might want to do something
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: different too. But if you were willing to give this
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: guy 32 years before saying bye-bye, Doesn't the incumbent senator
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: who's learning the ropes after his first two years down
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: there deserve at least one full term to see what
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: he brings to the table, what he can do for
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the state of Ohio, how he will respond to the
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: voters concerned, how we represent us in the halls of
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the Senate? I think so. And I'm just I'm being logical.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not being partisan. When you've done something for 32
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: years and you got away from it. Why on oif
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: would you go back before you even get the next
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: thing going? And I just I feel like that is
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the kind of logic I maybe I have too much
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: faith in my fellow man. But I'm hoping that's the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: kind of logic that prevails as people do their early
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: voting or go to the polls. And it's that's again,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: that is not I'm not sitting here putting the bad
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: mouth on Sherbert. I make fun of his hair. Yes.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: And the way he talks, I think that's kind of funny, too.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: But I'm just goofing. This isn't being mean to him
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: or anything else. In fact, I've said nice things about
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: him in the past. He sent me a letter once
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: when nobody else that I wrote to did. And I
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: was impressed by that. And I stood up for him
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: when he used a word that sounded bad but really wasn't.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: It was just the ignorance of the listeners and of
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the people who wanted to get you to click here
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: and watch at 11. They made a big deal out
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: of it. But it's two completely different words. They just
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: happen to sound alike. And he used it properly. And, yeah,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I defended that. I'm not, you know, I'm not out
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: to get anybody. I try to be very fair, even
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: with people, you know, with whom I have a disagreement.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Defended Michelle Obama when she got flack for saying she
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: felt gypped. That's racist. You can't say gypped. Really? Yeah.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Right is right. Wrong is wrong. Truth is truth. And
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: lies are lies. And Sherrod Brown would vote to get
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: rid of Donald Trump. If he could vote, if they
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: sent it over from the House and said, we filed
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: articles of impeachment. Sherrod Brown will be an affirmative. Or again,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: maybe that's just me. 821-9886, my number, 821-WTVN. Mark, you're
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: on 610-WTVN.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Good evening.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Thank you very much for taking my call.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: You are very welcome. Thanks for making the call.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Always.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to say that it's interesting with all
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: these campaign commercials with Sherrod Brown, however you pronounce it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Wow, the network is on the phone offering you a
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: job right now.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: All of these campaign ads, he doesn't want to say,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: this is what I did in the last 50 years
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: in elected office. You think he'd have a long list?
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Even John Husted voted to put more money in our
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: pockets by no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security,
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: no tax on overtime. And he's only been there just
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: a short time. So I just hope the Republicans.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: The stick that they are using to beat Husted is
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the whole data center thing and the... The Epstein contributions. John,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you're taking more money from Epstein affiliates or associates or
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: whatever the hell word they're using. It's from Les Wexner.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Just say it out loud, for gosh sakes. He took
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: money from Les Wexner, as did everybody else running for
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: office in the state of Ohio at some point. That's
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: what the guy does.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: And when all this came out, John donated it to
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: an agency, to a nonprofit.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and when the concerns about the data centers, because
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: we're bringing jobs to Ohio, construction jobs, data centers, and yes,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: he was heavily in support of data centers. Absolutely. Did
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: they contribute to his campaign? Most likely. But he also,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: when people said, hey, Senator Hustedt, We don't want to
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: be paying for the electric and the water. He introduced
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the legislation that would force the data centers to provide
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: their own fuel, their own electricity, their own water, and
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to pay for anything that comes from the public sources
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that they use, so our rates wouldn't go up. But
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer refused to even bring it to the floor
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: for a vote. But now they say, well, John, you
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: still did that. And when he heard from his constituents,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: he tried to be responsive. And the Senate president would
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: not allow that, or not the president, the speaker, would
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: not allow that to happen because we can't make a
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Republican look good.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: But we have communities like New Albany that has 40-some
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: data centers, but they're getting all the tax revenue and
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: all the money from them and able to benefit the
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: police and the fire and have the best of the
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: best there. So you've got a lot of communities that
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: want data centers. Yeah.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: As long as our fish don't start glowing and the
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: sky doesn't start falling, those data centers are going somewhere.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: And if we can make sure that they are taking
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: care of their own electric, providing their own electricity... providing
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: their own water, talking about recirculating water now, which is
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: going to be a big help, then you know what?
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I'd rather have them here than to have them in Butte,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Montana or something like that, Mark. And I just, I
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: worry about data centers. I worry about AI. I worry
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: about all that crap because I'm convinced the Terminator is
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: in the parking lot waiting for me to get to
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: my car. I'm a little paranoid about those things, but
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I think in a realistic way. Anyway, Senator Euston will
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: be joining me, by the way, in campaign mode, not
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: in servant mode. The power hour on October 16th. Go
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: put that on your calendar right now. First half of
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the show will be all all John. And I'm looking
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: forward to it because he's a nice guy. But maybe
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: we're getting close enough to the vote time that it's
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: time to not be so nice.
