  Speaker 1: Chuck Douglas and the Power Hour on six ten WTV.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: And how do they work Taylor Swift into every blasted thing.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, she's got nothing, and still she's the head.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I don't understand, but I will share that with you
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: here in just a little bit. We've talking about the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: horse trailer thing yesterday, which I just I got a
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: kick out of it because it was so stupid. A
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: police horse trailer, Columbus police horse trailer. It was headed
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: over here by the station. I was behind it on
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: my way into work, headed over here to the horse part,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and it's got signage on the back of it that
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: says stay back two hundred feet horses. But you have
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: to be like twenty feet away to be able to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: read the lettering on the trailer that says stay back
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: two hundred feet. And then of course that brought into
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: mind all of the trucks, the dump trucks, the construction
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: vehicles and so forth that I've seen on the road
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: that say stay back one hundred feet or stay back
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: two hundred feet. And then they add for insult to injury,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: they're not responsible for damage, and I say, oh, heck,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: yes you are. If it flies off of your truck,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: your loan is unsecure, the gravel's fallen out of your bed, whatever.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: You are just as to blame for that and just
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: as liable for that as some guy who lets something
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: fly out of the back of his pickup truck, or
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: or somebody who lets a mattress come off the top
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: of their car, or whatever. Sign or no sign right
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: is right? Or maybe that's just me. A two one
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: WTV and the number John, You're on six to ten
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: double UTV at height.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Hey, Chuck, just add your list. One of the things
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: is life is but a joy, which I use all
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: the time, but I'm not depressed.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad to hear that. I don't think that
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: was all the list though.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: No, no, I'm saying put it on the list.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: And then the other the baby on board, Well, congratulations,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm glad you had a child. And the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: other one that really annoys me is a semi trucks
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: with the caution I make wide right turns. Well, if
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I'm in my lane, I don't care how wide a
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: turn you make.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: That's true. And if and if you turn into traffic
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: when you shouldn't, then and you call something that's still
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: on you. So thanks for the sticker. But the law
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: is the law.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I got you.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Well, hey you have a good one.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: You too, John, thanks for the call. A two one
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: nine eight six two one WTV.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I have to say, those baby on
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: board ones.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: What about it? Why if there's no baby on board sign,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: are you allowed to drive erratically next to the people
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that don't have the sign.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: I was going to crash into you, but then I
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: saw it, so I decided to crash it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I was considering, you know, getting in front of you
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and slamming on my brakes, but then I saw the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: baby on board sign. I decided against it.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Multiple times, that's happened to me. I saw that sign,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I said, I can't do it.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Do it? I just I don't know. It was a
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: cutesy thing that became, h you know, a standard, and
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: we've seen many things like that where it starts off
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: as almost like a joke, but then everybody starts doing
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: it and it's no longer a joke. There were some
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: human who remains found in Rhode Island. You're familiar with
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: this story. What no, they found human remains a leg
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: A leg and it happened to be near Taylor Swift's
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: home in Rhode Island, and somehow they managed to work
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: her into the blasted story. She's got nothing to do
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: with it. She doesn't know this guy. He didn't know her.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: They found his car abandoned sixteen miles away, and they
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: now they found his leg. They didn't him.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: It was an honor property. That's like vast farmland or
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: nothing even.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: No, no, it's a it's an affluent area in Rhode Island,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and they found it. He's about the three tenths of
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: a mile, it says, from her property line. And and
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: for some reason, Taylor Swift is the story. Somebody's leg
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: was found, and Taylor Swift is the story. I don't
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I don't get the press.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Bring in clicks. I guess body parts found near Taylor
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Swift's home, and then the story.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I guess. Eric Wine, thirty one year old Eric Wine
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: is the owner or perhaps former owner, of the leg.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: They haven't found Eric yet. He was reported missing a
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: month earlier. On April eighteenth, his car was found abandoned
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: on Ocean Avenue in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. Despite the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: chilling nature of the discovery, authorities say there are no
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: signs of foul play.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Well, he's partially missing.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Now, if you found a leg without the person attached
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: to it.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: No foul play.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: But there's no foul I've not known anyone who's just
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: walking down the street and the oh leg fell off. Hey,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I've never known that to happen. Just there are two
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: options here, either foul or shark. Because you know, as
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Richard Drivers told us, this was no boating accident, so
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: it's it's foul play or shark.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: How do you say that there's no foul play? We
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: found his leg. We don't think anything fish is going
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: on here. But we did find a leg, so we're
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: we're we're twenty five percent of the way of finding him.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know if the leg was that much, you know. Yeah, anyway,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: South Kingstown Police Department announced last week the case is
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: now closed. I'm sorry, hang on. I didn't want that
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: boisterous laugh to go over the air.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Where the others So they just let it go.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: They've found the leg, they now know who the leg
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: belonged to. They've got a picture of him here in
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: military uniform, so I'm assuming a DNA test. They know
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: it belonged to this guy. They don't know where he is.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: He's missing, but they found the leg and they have
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: closed the case. Okay, now again, I guess I'm being
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: kind of a stickler for details. But A legs don't
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: just fall off, and b it's not closed. He's still
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: missing and you have his leg. How do you close
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that case?
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Maybe if they find just part of you, they could
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: say they actually found you. So they found his leg for.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Us, We're done. We're finished here. And and please keep
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: in mind, everything I've said for the last two minutes
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: has nothing to do with Taylor Swift. So why is
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: she in the headline. I don't know. I have no
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: idea where the South Kingstown Police Department is in Rhode Island,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: but I'm hoping they are. They are not well funded,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: because if they are, they don't deserve that money. How
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: do you close the case when you found a leg,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you have a missing person, you don't know where the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: person is. The case is not closed, the case is ongoing.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Absolutely ridiculous, Absolutely ridiculous. Anyway, Taylor Swift has nothing to
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: do with that story. Just so you know, I'm sick
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: of here. They even managed to get in by the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: way that she has permits. She's requested permits from the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: town to remodel the house and expand her kitchen because
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: as we all know, you know, Taylor's a big cook.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I don't does she cook? I have no idea. Didn't
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: she make Travis Kelcey like some Pillsbury Crescent rolls or
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: something before a game, which requires, you know, turning on
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the oven. But why is that even? But it's in
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the story. The judge accused of helping an immigrant evade
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: ice out there in Wisconsin wants a trial date, but
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: it's been delayed. I don't know why. Seems like pretty
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: much a cut and dry thing to me, But we're
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: still waiting on a trial date. She was hiding. She
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: was hiding this guy from Ice, knowing that he was
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: here illegally. She is a judge sworn to uphold the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Constitution of the United States of America. And uh no,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the medicaid cuts that everybody's been so worried about. You
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: couldn't get away from the Facebook and Twitter and oh,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: by the way, don't post irresponsible bs. There's enough reasons
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: for people who dislike Donald Trump to dislike Donald Trump.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: But I saw right before I came on the air tonight,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: well Mark was still and I was on the other side.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: So I'm looking at that and somebody and I'm sad
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to say a Facebook connection of mine posted Donald Trump
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: issues executive order to abolish June teenth. No, he did
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: not stop that. Crap man. We don't need any any
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: fake stuff. Wall Street Journal report here. This has to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: do with all the doge cuts, and everybody was freaking out,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Okay because uh those they're gonna cut Medicaid, They're gonna
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: cut medicure, they're gonna cut Social Security, betifits and Wall Street.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Here's the headline. Democratic states expanded medicaid to undocumented immigrants.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Now they're rolling it back. That's their headline. Progressive governors
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: around the country of extended state funded health care to
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: undocumented immigrants, aiming to get closer to universal health insurance coverage.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Now some are being forced to roll back or freeze
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the programs because of budget woes and unexpectedly high enrollment.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: California Governor Gavin Newsom has proposed freezing enrollment of undocumented
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: adults in the state's medicaid program. California is the most Hey,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: illegal people come here, state, We got but Gavin Newsom,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: who isn't running for president, has has said he wants
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: to freeze the state's Medicaid for the poor and the disabled.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Instead of receiving essentially free coverage, those already enrolled will
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: be required to pay one hundred dollars monthly in premiums
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: starting in twenty twenty seven. Knewsom floated his proposal after
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the state program medical went six point two billion dollars
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: over budget this year. The story is available in the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal. I already gave you the headline. Read
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: it and understand that freaking out over Medicaid cuts not
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: necessarily the case, because the idea is all of the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants that are being covered by your state will
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: no longer be, which means they can spend less on
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: it at the federal level and still keep the American
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: citizens that are covered covered. People think they know more
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: than what they do, or they hope you believe they
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: know more than what they do, and they hit the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: panic button. They put it out there to freak you out,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: so you go, oh, no, oh, no, one in trouble.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Just chill man. It is what it is. The music
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: is playing didn't get to the Loutrell story of this
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Loutrell guy who they keep saying he was in a
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: car accident. He's in bad shape from a car, but
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: they keep calling them. The original lead singer of Rio Speedwagon.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know that anybody remembers him. Kevin Cronin has
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: always been the voice of Rio Speedwagon until he recently
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: left the group.
