Gov Dewines biggest regret · Chuck Douglas

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: First thing I gotta say, and this is uh, he's
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: he's leaving, and thank goodness, this Mike DeWine story that
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Allison was doing this afternoon, I did you did? Did
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: that bug you at all? I mean, as much as
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: it's it's really it's really really bugging me. It is
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: really really yes? Why yes? Because it's just another demonstration
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of the nanny state mentality this governor has had with us.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: In like his comment where he's like, uh, it just
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: ruins the integrity of sports. I'm like, it's entertainment. It's
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: not governmental policy that you're talking about. It's sports.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not taking a position one way or the other
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: on on on the gambling. You either do it or
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you don't. I don't care. It's your money, it's your life,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and and that's I think how it should be. That's
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: how it should be. Mike DeWine, outgoing governor here in
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the stable House is his biggest regret of his his
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: tenure as governor was legalizing sports gambling. You your money,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: This is your financial decision. You pay the consequences should
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: you choose to gamble away instead of paying the water bill,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: that's on you, man. But the nanny state kicks in
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and Mike DeWine says, that's his biggest regret. You know,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the governor is also the governor when we legalized macroana
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: in the state of Ohio for recreational purposes. Right if
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I gamble away my paycheck, stupid, inconvenient, perhaps even dangerous
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: for my life or for my family. If I blow
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: some legal weed and then decide to hop into the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: car and take a drive through the neighborhood, I could
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: run over people, kill children, whatever. That that is not
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a regret, But legalizing gambling is. I'm sorry, man, that
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: just doesn't make any sense to me. There was a
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: time when I, you know, I held Mike Dwine in
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: very high regard. I thought he had served well at
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: many levels of government, from Washington, d c. Right back
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: here to our state House.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Was it the COVID thing that started changing.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: COVID began the yes, the daily two and a half
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: hours of where he got his necktie. And as I
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: said before, Amy Acton as the Democratic candidate for governor
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: of the State of Ohio would not even have the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: notoriety to run for governor had it not been for
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the fact that Mike DeWine trotted her out there to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: stand with him every day and take up time on
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: your television. He could have quoted her, could have relied
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: on her information, come out and not talked about his
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: neck ties, and had it over within ten minutes. Have
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: been done.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Put, he could have got all that info out in
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: like five minutes.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: You know, we had we had to have two hours,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: two and a half hours every day, every every every
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: day with Amy actors standing there. Had he not done that,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: she would not even be a potential governor of the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: state of Ohio. So I blame him for that, I
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: honestly do. The the ridiculousness that came down during the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: during the COVID ridiculousness, Well, you can go the you
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: can go to the bar, but you have shit down
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: to drink. Can't stand up and drink a beer. The
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Covid'll get you. Can't be out after ten pm, the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Covid'll get you.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: That was the weird one to me, you can't be
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: out after ten I was very confused by that one.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I didn't walking into a place to eat with a
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: mask on came down. Then you could take them.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Then you take the mask off.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: You have to go to the bathroom. You have to
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: put it back.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: On as dumb as California where people were eating they'd
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: raised their mask to put the food in their mouth
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and just stupid.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, either just close the restaurant or just let it go.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: It's wanted that. You can't half ass it like that.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: But whoever our next governor is, Democrat Republican, whichever, I
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: hope I pray that that nanny state crapola goes by
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the wayside. Man, whatever happened to give me liberty or
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: give me death? Do you know what liberty means? There
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: was this old thing before we had the Internet called
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a dictionary. Get access to one. Look up the word liberty,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: among other things. Making your decisions, leading your life. As
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: long as you're not interfering with other people and you're
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: not breaking a law, live your life. We don't need
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the governor or anybody to be our mummies. And I
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: just every time I heard that story in the news today,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I just I got just boiling. I got to the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: point where I was turning my headphones down during the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: newscasts because I just I can't of all the things,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of all the things that have happened while he has
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: been governor his biggest regret is legalizing sports gambling. I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: His biggest regret is not allowing you to do what
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: you want to do with your money.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, it's mine. Yeah, it's mine. I have every
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I Well, you know you really need groceries. Well I
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: decided to buy a big screen TV instead, mister governor,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Well that's that's my biggest regret was allowing you access
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to a television. You should have been able to go
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: store and buy television. If you need groceries, why it's
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: my money, my decision. I will be hungry but entertained.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: It's got nothing to do with society and the government
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: has no business sticking their nose in it. Or again,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: maybe that's just me A two one nine eight eighty
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: six A two one WTV. And you are welcome to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: disagree with me, by the way, especially if you're new
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: to the show and you have no idea debate, discussion, disagreement.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: It's all good as long as it's respectful. I don't care.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I just I saying something like that under normal circumstances,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: And by the way, I don't I don't consider this
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: next gubernatorial election normal circumstances. Under normal circumstances, though, saying
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: something like that can affect the candidate of your party
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that's running for your office next time around. Well, if
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: that's how the Republicans feel, like, yeah, we don't need
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: another one of them in there. They want to live
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: our lives for us. Tell us what we can eat,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: where we can go. Remember New York City, you couldn't
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: have a soda over what twelve ounces or something? Is
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: that the kind of well do we want that here?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Do we want that here? Children can't drink sugary drinks
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and you can't come on, stop it. I just I
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: don't know, I just I'm I'm frustrated that what was
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: once a party of liberty of individual rights has you know,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: he is essentially he is the leader at the state
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: level of the Republican Party, and for him to say
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: something like that is just really really bothers him. I
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: also can't believe this headline, but I gotta share it
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: with you from the Channel six website, The Ohio History
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Connection is urging urging the public. I'm sorry, but this
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: should be stronger. I don't even know who the High
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: History Connection is, but they should be stronger urging the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: public to refrain from You know what I'm gonna say.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Have you read this story?
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: I have not seen it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Though, using the ancient ancient earthwork, specifically, Shrum Mound in
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: West Columbus is a sledding hill. Don't slid on the graves,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: is what they're saying.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Are the people bury, They're gonna be bothered.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: They're graves, man, you don't go and you know they're
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: they're Indian, Native America whatever you would call it. But
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: it's right around the corner from us, and it is.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: It is an Indian burial mound. I'm not sure what
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to call it. In twenty twenty five, that's
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: what they called it when they took us on a
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: field trip there in school.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Might be haunted if you sled on it too much.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: So that's maybe that's what they're doing.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: They're urging the public to refrain from youth the burial
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: mound for sledding. Well. This is one of the last
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: remaining by the way burial mounds in Columbus. The Ohio
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: History Connection said it's believed to be or have been
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: built around twenty five hundred years ago by the Adena culture.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a big fan it's.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: A graveyard, it's a that's how they buried people. Then
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I guess that culture at least in a big hill.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: And that's that's uh, not only disrespectful, man, that's just
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that's nasty to go. Would you go over to Green
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Lawn Cemetery and and sled on the graves there?
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: No?
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I just I don't get it. I don't know. Why
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: are you looking at me like I'm crazy that I'm
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: not saying anything outrageous there?
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: No, I totally get it.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I'm just.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I don't again, are the people. Isn't Greenlawn like upkept
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: and people visit there and things that different than just
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: like a hill that's there that people that were buried.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: It's a hill. It's right around. You've never seen it,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: You've never gone over to look at it. No, it's
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: right across the street from the little carry out strip
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: down there. And there's there's a sign. Yes, the sign
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: is right there that tells you what it is and
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: gives a little history about it.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I'm sure I drove by it and just never paid attention.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Should I go visit after work?
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's it's just one of those
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: it's a historical thing, a local historical thing. It's kind
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: of like looking at an old building. You may never
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: go in there for anything, you may never live there.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: It may it may not be a business you will
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: go to. But just to say, okay, this building goes,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: it's it's just history.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Do a lot of people sled there or take their
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: kids there to go sled?
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Not that I ever knew. It's not something I've ever
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: looked at, looked for, or done myself. It's a burial mound.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I can't picture people, can't picture people going. I'm sorry.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: The way that road is, you would have to drive there.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: You can't walk there. You'd have to drive your kids,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: get out of the car and then let them.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: See you pull up right in front of it.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, still too much effort to make your kids sledding.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Right there off the road. You remember when they were
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: doing the rehab work up there at the North Market
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and they dug up the streets and found skeletons in
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the street.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good time people.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Well again, we develop stuff and pay no attention sometimes
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: and I don't know. I just I guess because I'm
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: hoping when I finally kick off and I'm lead to rest.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Nobody comes along and puts a condo on me.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: One day, I'm sledding over you.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: You well see you would, but you do it on purpose.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: You know what I do. I'd get an old record,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: The Golden Hits A seventy six, yeah, and then I
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: would put it in cardboard and sled over you times.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: That's my tribute to you. If you go before I.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Do, you're sick. But I kind of like the idea.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: That's a good tribute for people who have no idea
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: what he's talking about. Back in nineteen seventy six, I
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: was eleven years old and I bought an album from
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: television and it was called the Golden Hit Some seventy
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: six All your favorite songs by the original Stars, Order Now.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: So I ordered it. It came to the house, but
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize that that piece of cardboard on my
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: parents' front porch was the album. So we used that
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: piece of cardboard to slid up and down the hill
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: in my parents' front yard.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: It just shocked me that I asked, you, hey, could
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: you still play the record?
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Like it worked fine, Yeah, it work fine. And
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I got ripped off because what I said all the
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: hits you love by the Original start it was actually
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: a group called the Original Stars. Still it was. It
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: wasn't by the Originals. It was a great It's.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Still one of the best things you've ever told me.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: It was, man. I was eleven years old. And back
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: then you used to have, you know, the Columbia Record
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and Tape Club where you get eleven albums, cassettes or
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: eight track teams for just a penny. Yeah. Yeah, they're
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: still looking for me. And uh, and you had k
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: tel Katel used to do these compilation albums. You know,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: they'd have like ten songs on the album and it's
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: different artists and so forth, and uh, and you could
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: order those they were five ninety nine. You could even
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: get them cod which was collect on delivery. The postman
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: would collect the money when they delivered it to your home,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: back when Americans trusted each other.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't do that, no, no, and uh and uh.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: You know, so I would order stuff off of TV,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: music off a TV and I had never ordered music
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: from television. That was not what I thought it was.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: And when somebody says it's by the Original Stars, I
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: assume that means it's it is actually England Dan and
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: john Ford Coley not England Don and a guy named Jim.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, you were a lie, you didn't know any different,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: but they're absolutely. I wonder how much money they made
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: out of just ripping people off.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Oh I'm sure they made a lot.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Because you know, some people put that record on and went,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: what what is this?
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: This is garbage that ain't no Beeges. Yeah it was.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: They were the Bojo's. Well you can tell by the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: way I use my walk cry a woman's mouth. The
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: original stars just five ninety nine
