  Speaker 1: Talking about last night's election results. I'm I don't know.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: As I said, it's not a sour grapes thing, but
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I am concerned. I feel like that concept of the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: greater good is gone and a lot of people are
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: ready to bail in favor of ridiculous promises, and uh,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: that never goes well as far as I'm concerned, I'd
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: love to know what you think though, HWEW TV and
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: it's the number, Kathy, you're on the Legacy Retirement Group
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: dot com phone line.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Hi, Hi, thank you. I wanted to say thank you
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: for your very excellent explanation of the bond issue. The
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: night before election. I was driving home and with the
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: radio in the car, and I didn't really realize what
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: voting yes or voting no would mean for a bond.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: So I appreciated the education that you provided.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: You're very welcome, Kathy. I'm glad I could help help you.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, I hope to continue to do that because if
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: i'm if I'm a I don't think of a single entity.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I think more people would have learned orthologies. I didn't
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: know all that, so it was it was good information.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I want to thank you for it. Secondly, I am
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: originally from Buffalo, New York, and I've lived here for
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: ten years.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: And.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Yet we love our snow. We do New York City
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: for years, Like you know, Western New York is vastly
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: different from the city obviously, and it's the other side
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: of the state. But for years, my whole family, friends,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: everybody that I know, we would love for New York
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: City to be annexed like Washington, DC and just be
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: its own entity. Erie counties taxes that I think eight
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: point seventy five percent four point seventy five percent of
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: it I believe goes right to New York City, to
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the boroughs. It's five hundred miles across the state. They
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: need to be able to sustain themselves. They're just it's
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: an eyesore on the rest of the state and haven't
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: help everybody that lives in New York. Now that we
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: have this person in charge.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm sure that people like in Albany
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and Ithaca and so they look at the city and go,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: what the hell are these people thinking? Because it's this
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: this is an alien mindset to upstate the way that
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: New York has always been a bastion of you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: decadence and money and all that kind of stuff. But
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: it's always been a bastion that at least made sense
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to us. Right now, it's not even making sense right.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I would if I had won the HTTERI I literally
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: had this conversation with friends of mine. I would take
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: on an ad on the billboard in Times Square and
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: run mom Donny's mother saying he's not an American, he
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: doesn't feel like he's an American, he doesn't want to
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: be an American. I would have loved to have people
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: see that.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: And why Cuomo's people especially did not run that into
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the ground is beyond me. And I'm not trying to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: be racist here. I'm trying to be realistic. This this
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: is ground zero. This is where September eleventh became a reality.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And for this guy to stand there and his mother
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: even says he doesn't consider himself an American at all,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: that's who you elect.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's racism. I think it's standing on
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: principle that this is what our country was found it out,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: It's in our constitution. We are a Christian country. We
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: continue to make accommodations for people who want to come here,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and we start little by little giving them an inch,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: giving them an inch, giving them an inch. All of
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: a sudden, our country is gone, and people stand around
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: and go, well, what happened, Oh my gosh, what happened? Well,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: what happened was nob had the ghonies to stand up
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: and say, this is our country and this is how
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: we're going to behave here. And if you don't behave
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: that way, then don't come like that's not racist, develop
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: it's this is being love of your own country.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Kathy, I love you, call more often. Thank you, have
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a good night, Very good to talk to you. Six Pete,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: you're on six WTVN.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know, I agree with pretty much everything
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: that you say. Chuck and I also shared the frustration
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: of why people are voting a self proclaimed socialist as
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: mayor of New York City. But you know, I started
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: thinking about it today. How many people who voted in
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: New York City for Madonnie or Tom Donnie? Excuse me?
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: How many people really even know that socialism has never worked?
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, do you think their parents taught them? I
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: probably would guess that a lot of them know. Do
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: you think they're teachers taught them? Especially with the way
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: the liberal the educational system is the public education system
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: is use me. I kind of doubt it, especially if
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: a teacher has a liberal agenda, they probably might not
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: want to say that socialism never works. I wouldn't be
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: surprised if some of the New York City high school
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: teachers are communists themselves and don't admit it out loud. So,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: you know, I'll just ponder that, maybe that'll leave a
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: little bit of your frustration. Ponder how many people really
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: even know that socialism doesn't work.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I'm with you, and you know what, that lack of
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that lack of historical knowledge, as they say, those who
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: forget history are doomed to repeat it. That is a
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: constant warning you will hear from me. And I think
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that's showing its face right now. Pete. I appreciate you, buddy,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. A two one nine eight eighty six. Betty,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: you are on six nu UTV and high.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Is that me?
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: That would be you? Are you? Oh it's Betsy, Yes,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that's okay.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Hey. I am really heartsick about how people are voting
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: these days. I first of all, I'd like to know
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: why is Franklin County supporting the zoo and why doesn't
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Delaware why don't their residents pay the taxes as well
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: and we could share them. They must have had some
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: land grant thing goes through, but I don't know why
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Delaware doesn't help pay for it.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: That question has been asked for a long time, and
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I wish somebody would step up an answer it, because
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: it's a completely reasonable inquiry right now.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: The other thing is, I'm a poll worker and I
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: worked at one of the schools in Upper Arlington. I'm
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: an Upper Arlington resident my whole life. I am so disheartened.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: I have to tell you most everybody that came into
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: the school that was not Caucasian was carrying a Democrat flyer.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: They would come up to me and I would say,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: please put that away and pull it out when you vote.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: They were standing outside our polling location hand the Democrats
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: handing out those flyers, as well as one of the
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: city council people who was running. And of the six
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: people running for Upper Earlington City Council, four of them
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: were Democrats. It was supposed to be nonpartisan, but I
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: said to the boy handing out the papers. He said, oh,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: it's non partisan. I said, then why are the Democrats
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: supporting them? And It's like, yeah, that's pretty obvious. And
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: for the school boards, three people ran and the one
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: in company who was Republican did not win.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Did he not win? I met him with Senator Hughestead
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. I really thought that all reasonable
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: people would cast a vote for him out of the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: three if nothing else.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: No lou came in last. They put in the two
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Democrats had been a previous principle at Upper Arlington High School.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: But still I read a poster there in our gymnasium.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: He's written by the children. The mythspellings were horrible. When
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: I went to school in Upper Arlington, we would never
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: have been allowed. So I'm wondering what kind of an
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: education are they getting. But maybe we as Republicans should
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: become Democrats and try to change them because we are
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: fighting a losing battle and the Republicans are not trying
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: hard enough.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Well an aimen to that when in fact, I said
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: that on a Facebook post today and I got well,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: one person who could have been argumentative was not very argumentative.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Another one wanted to tell me that how let's talk
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: about this. Because I brought up the fact that he
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: said you need to get involved. I said, I tried
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to get involved. I ran or attempted to run for
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Central Committee, and the party itself had somebody fill out
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: an application to run against me so they could have
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a yes man in there. They didn't want somebody to dissent,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: they didn't want somebody argumentative. They wanted somebody that was
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: going to go along. And that guy has never the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: last presidential election, no Trump signed, no signs of any
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: in his yard. He's never come to my door, knocked
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and said do you need any yard signs? Is there
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: anything I can do? Never met him, never got an
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: email from him. This is the guy representing my ward.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: They didn't want me, but they got him, and they well, Chuck,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: we'd like to talk about this? Why what's to talk about?
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: It is what it is. We cannot field a candidate
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: in Franklin County for any dag gone thing, not for
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Columbus City Council, not to run against Andy Ginther, not
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: for a county commissioner seat, not for the county auditor. Nothing.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: There's always an excuse, and that you know what, if
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: that's how it's gonna be, just just lock the doors.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: It's very disheartening and I feel bad logic has really
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: gone out. It's gone and I feel sorry. I'm glad.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: I'm pleasure to death and burst.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Oh no, live a long time, Betty, so you can
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: call me more. I enjoy talking to you. Eight two one, nine,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: eight eighty six. Let's get John on six to natv in.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: Hey, Chuck, John an aamaged country. How are you doing fine, sir?
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: How's the jelly?
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: Oh it's good up here. Hey. I haven't talked to
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: you since the first day.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: You got your hair so really well it still looks.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: It's been a minute.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you look good.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: So about mom, Donnie? Do you I don't know. I
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: look back, I think about the election of Barack Hussein
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Obama and now this guy. Do you think part of
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: this is due to what they call Stockholm syndrome? I
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: mean you mentioned nine to eleven.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I go a little more in depth. What do you mean?
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, just the fact that you know, this guy's clearly Muslim,
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: nearly radical. It's in the city that was that was
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: struck on nine to eleven.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: Just something doesn't feel right about it. Are people?
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Is this like a do you feel like it's a
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: sort of surrender from the voters in a way.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: I mean, or is that just maybe I'm in my
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: own little world up here, but I don't know. It
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: just doesn't feel right. And this plus it seems like
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: this guy came out of nowhere.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean, he's thirty four years old, he's
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: got really no track record of any kind. Just boom,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: one day he was there, much like you know a
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Senator Barack Hussein Obama who served what two years in
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the Senate after being a community organizer in Chicago, and
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: suddenly he's a presidential candidate.
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean my off base there just a lot
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: of it sort of feels very similar. And yeah, I'm
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: trying to, you know, kind of throw a flag on
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: the play here. It just doesn't it doesn't smell right.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: And but yeah, I just wonder if part of it's
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: like kind of Stockholm Center of like, hey, yeah, you
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: got us, We're going to vote for you.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: It's a little off the wall, John, But I'm not
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: going to tell you you're wrong, because something somewhere has
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to make sense, and I can't figure out what that
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: something might be. Right now, I know that the results
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: are exactly what I expected and exactly what I worry
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: about all over this country, including right here in central Ohio.
