Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Greetings, salutations. Welcome, my friends, to another edition of the
- 0:03Speaker 1: Power Hour on 610 WTVN. I'm Chuck Douglas. You know
- 0:06Speaker 1: who you are, and we take it from there. We
- 0:08Speaker 1: get one hour together, which means I talk really fast,
- 0:11Speaker 1: and you must listen even faster. My number is 821-9886-821-WTVN
- 0:18Speaker 1: or 1-800-610-WTVN. There will be a Power Hour tomorrow night.
- 0:22Speaker 1: It's a bye week for the Bucs, so there is
- 0:25Speaker 1: no Bucs line tomorrow night. So be sure to join
- 0:27Speaker 1: me 6 o'clock tomorrow night. I've got a Democrat that
- 0:31Speaker 1: is coming in. And, you know, we had a conversation
- 0:35Speaker 1: on the phone. Seems to be a very pleasant, middle-of-the-road
- 0:39Speaker 1: kind of guy. I think we'll get along pretty well,
- 0:41Speaker 1: but he'll be joining me tomorrow night. He's running for
- 0:43Speaker 1: the state legislature, 6 o'clock tomorrow. Tonight, I have a
- 0:48Speaker 1: single question for you. Did it change your vote? Did
- 0:55Speaker 1: it change how you intend to vote? I am talking,
- 1:00Speaker 1: of course, about the Acton's mom thing that's floating around
- 1:05Speaker 1: out there. I know a lot of people are yakking
- 1:09Speaker 1: about it and pointing fingers. And, you know, it's amazing
- 1:16Speaker 1: to me how many people are such experts on who's
- 1:19Speaker 1: telling the truth as if they know. You don't know.
- 1:25Speaker 1: You don't know. Amy Acton's mother is lying. Well, those
- 1:29Speaker 1: will tell you Amy Acton is lying. Her mom's one
- 1:32Speaker 1: of them. We don't know. Is it conceivable that a
- 1:41Speaker 1: 12-year-old girl, perhaps even prompted by her biological father that
- 1:45Speaker 1: wanted her out of the house with her stepfather and
- 1:49Speaker 1: her mother, might have been prompted to say things? Yes,
- 1:53Speaker 1: that's entirely possible. While the stepfather was never convicted, he
- 1:59Speaker 1: was indicted, he was charged, taken to court, fled the
- 2:02Speaker 1: state of Ohio, went to Pennsylvania where he passed away
- 2:05Speaker 1: in 2004. It's absolutely possible. And if all those things
- 2:12Speaker 1: did happen to her, of course, I feel for her.
- 2:16Speaker 1: But here's the reality of life. Anybody can say anything
- 2:21Speaker 1: about anybody else. And the fact that the man was
- 2:27Speaker 1: indicted isn't necessarily, like, what's the famous attorney? Was it F.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Lee Bailey that said you can get an indictment on
- 2:36Speaker 1: a ham sandwich? I think so. Anybody can be indicted.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Anybody can be accused. It was not that long ago,
- 2:44Speaker 1: quite frankly, that somebody that knows me put out some vile, vicious,
- 2:47Speaker 1: ridiculous stuff about me on social media. Sorry about that.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Even tagged me. I've forgiven you now. Okay. But tagged me,
- 2:58Speaker 1: put my name in there, tagged the radio station, tagged
- 3:01Speaker 1: my real estate office. Not one person, not one person said, Chuck,
- 3:10Speaker 1: did you see this? Is this not one person? Why?
- 3:15Speaker 1: Because anybody who knows anything about me knows what BS
- 3:17Speaker 1: it was. But anybody can say anything about anybody, make
- 3:22Speaker 1: any accusation they want. I don't know. I don't know
- 3:30Speaker 1: who's telling the truth. Therefore, frankly, I have to take
- 3:37Speaker 1: it out of the equation. And those who say, I
- 3:43Speaker 1: can't believe he would stoop so low. She's been given
- 3:47Speaker 1: this same interview since 2020, the last six years. Her
- 3:52Speaker 1: mother has been saying the same thing. So it's not
- 3:56Speaker 1: like it's something new. And as far as stooping this low,
- 4:00Speaker 1: I mean, go back and look at the opposition commercials.
- 4:04Speaker 1: As I pointed, John Husted doesn't know what the hell
- 4:07Speaker 1: he's talking about. You know, how many times have you
- 4:11Speaker 1: seen the word pedophile associated with Donald Trump? As I
- 4:17Speaker 1: was telling you with Husted the other day, took more
- 4:19Speaker 1: money from Epstein Associates, meaning Les Wexner, than anyone else.
- 4:26Speaker 1: The cruel, vile, mean things that are said and the
- 4:29Speaker 1: absolute lies that are said in political campaigns should not
- 4:33Speaker 1: be surprising to you at this point. It's a sad
- 4:37Speaker 1: reality of what we are. Should it be that way?
- 4:41Speaker 2: Nope. Nope.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Man, if I could be dictator for a few days,
- 4:48Speaker 1: that's one of the things I would deal with. People
- 4:50Speaker 1: always want to talk about campaign finance reform. We need
- 4:54Speaker 1: campaign content reform as well. Because these PACs and super PACs,
- 4:59Speaker 1: they can put out there whatever they want. They can say, well,
- 5:03Speaker 1: it can be a blatant lie. Doesn't matter. They've got
- 5:08Speaker 1: the legal right to do it. We need to do
- 5:11Speaker 1: something about that. The editing of things, the, the Rama Swami, uh, well,
- 5:21Speaker 1: he was on a Fox with what's his face. Who's
- 5:23Speaker 1: the guy, the five guy. Um, um, Jesse Waters? No,
- 5:27Speaker 1: the one that Mark likes so much. You know who
- 5:31Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Greg, whatever, Gutfeld. Gutfeld, yes. And he said,
- 5:35Speaker 1: so what are you, filthy rich? And Ramos saw him,
- 5:37Speaker 1: he's going, no, I'm not filthy rich. I'm dirty rich.
- 5:42Speaker 1: He cracking a joke. The guy's rich. Should he be
- 5:45Speaker 1: ashamed of being rich? The evil 1%? Yes, Virginia, there
- 5:54Speaker 1: was a time when we aspired to be a part
- 5:57Speaker 1: of the 1%. We didn't hate them. We admired them
- 5:59Speaker 1: for their accomplishments, and we wanted to have the things
- 6:01Speaker 1: that they had. And instead of sitting around on our
- 6:04Speaker 1: collective butts and waiting on a government program or a
- 6:07Speaker 1: momdomny to get elected, we went out and made it happen,
- 6:11Speaker 1: or we died trying. We didn't expect the government to
- 6:17Speaker 1: hand things out to us. Then we started throwing around the...
- 6:22Speaker 1: The word equity. Everybody wants equity. Equity and equality are
- 6:26Speaker 1: not the same thing. We are all born equal. Everybody
- 6:32Speaker 1: comes into the world equal. Now, equity is a completely
- 6:36Speaker 1: different thing. Just because one baby is born to a
- 6:41Speaker 1: wealthy family in a beautiful city where everything is at
- 6:45Speaker 1: their disposal and they've got a great inheritance coming, and
- 6:48Speaker 1: another one is born in a crappy little town... where
- 6:52Speaker 1: dad works in the mines and mama stays home and
- 6:56Speaker 1: takes in washing and Loretta Lynn did a theme song
- 6:58Speaker 1: for the movie, that kind of thing, that's equity. You
- 7:03Speaker 1: don't get equity. That's not a right. It shouldn't be
- 7:09Speaker 1: an expectation. But too many people have been led down
- 7:13Speaker 1: that road, being told that they deserve. You don't deserve equity.
- 7:22Speaker 1: We have that wonderful document, the Bill of Rights, that
- 7:24Speaker 1: tells you what you deserve right there. You don't deserve prosperity.
- 7:29Speaker 1: You don't come out of college with your basket weaving
- 7:32Speaker 1: degree and deserve to be made CEO of that tech
- 7:35Speaker 1: company where you put in an application. Equity and equality
- 7:41Speaker 1: are not the same thing. Vivek Ramaswamy took his mind,
- 7:47Speaker 1: took his ideas, took whatever he had at his disposal
- 7:50Speaker 1: and And turned it into a fortune. And you're supposed
- 7:56Speaker 1: to hate him for that. How many times have you
- 7:59Speaker 1: heard billionaires, billionaires, giving money to billionaires, tax credit to billionaires,
- 8:04Speaker 1: helping his billionaire friends, voting for billionaire, billionaire. They keep
- 8:07Speaker 1: throwing that up there because they want you to flow
- 8:12Speaker 1: yourself right down that equity rabbit hole and get upset
- 8:16Speaker 1: that somebody has money. Don't get upset. Go get your own.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Come up with a great idea. Especially today, man. People
- 8:26Speaker 1: are making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year opening
- 8:30Speaker 1: packages on Facebook. It is arguably easier now to become
- 8:38Speaker 1: rich than it ever has been in the history of
- 8:41Speaker 1: this country. With the advent of broadband internet and so forth,
- 8:50Speaker 1: it's stupid. Here's pictures of my feet. Make me rich.
- 8:57Speaker 1: And it works. You don't despise people for achieving. Admire them.
- 9:07Speaker 1: Emulate them. When we were teenagers, my buddy Brian and
- 9:13Speaker 1: I were having to talk about money. He unfortunately came
- 9:17Speaker 1: into money when his mom passed away. She left him
- 9:21Speaker 1: a nice insurance check. And he used that to build
- 9:26Speaker 1: a future. Well, here I am working every day. He's
- 9:29Speaker 1: been retired for several years. Living comfortably. But as we
- 9:36Speaker 1: were talking, he said, Chucky, my grandpa told me something.
- 9:41Speaker 1: If you don't want to be poor, watch everything that
- 9:44Speaker 1: poor people do. And then don't do that. This was
- 9:49Speaker 1: 16 years old. He laid that wisdom on me. We
- 9:59Speaker 1: used to think like that. Now, we're waiting on Mondomni
- 10:04Speaker 1: and that ilk to provide us all that we need.
- 10:08Speaker 1: The government will sustain you. Billionaires are evil. And Elon Musk, trillionaire? Oh,
- 10:18Speaker 1: he's the great Satan, man. because he took an idea
- 10:22Speaker 1: and turned it into a fortune. Success is being used
- 10:29Speaker 1: against you. And now here we are in the final
- 10:32Speaker 1: stages of the 2026 elections. And while the venom and
- 10:41Speaker 1: ridiculousness run rampant, the Ramaswamy camp has this commercial out
- 10:49Speaker 1: with Acton's mom saying, don't elect her, she's a liar.
- 10:56Speaker 1: And instead of people saying, wow, man, if mom calls
- 11:00Speaker 1: you a liar and your daughter won't talk to you,
- 11:02Speaker 1: your daughter called the police on you, you know, nobody
- 11:08Speaker 1: seems to be looking at it that way. They're all
- 11:10Speaker 1: hating on Ramaswami's campaign for running that. If we could
- 11:18Speaker 1: wave a wand and magically know Which one of them
- 11:22Speaker 1: is telling the truth? It would help us out a
- 11:24Speaker 1: great deal, but we can't do that. We don't have
- 11:27Speaker 1: that ability. And that causes a dilemma for many people,
- 11:32Speaker 1: which is why I'm asking that very simple question. Did
- 11:37Speaker 1: that ad, seeing that ad, change your vote, your anticipated
- 11:43Speaker 1: vote in the November 3rd election? 821-9886-821-WTVN. Let's get some
- 11:49Speaker 1: calls on the LegacyRetirementGroup.com phone lines. Pete, you're up on
- 11:52Speaker 1: 610 WTVN.
- 11:55Speaker 2: Did you say a few minutes ago that her mom
- 11:59Speaker 2: calling her a liar is not new, that that video
- 12:02Speaker 2: has been out for a few years?
- 12:03Speaker 1: I said that her mom has been saying that. She
- 12:05Speaker 1: was saying it in interviews back to 2020 that I
- 12:08Speaker 1: know of.
- 12:10Speaker 2: And then you just said that her daughter called the
- 12:14Speaker 2: police on her.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Yes, she and her daughter are also estranged.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Well, now I'm starting to see maybe possibly why she
- 12:22Speaker 2: doesn't want to debate him, because if if they were
- 12:25Speaker 2: to debate each other, he could mention that stuff on
- 12:29Speaker 2: TV in front of millions. And well, maybe not millions,
- 12:33Speaker 2: but a lot of people. And, you know, that's a.
- 12:36Speaker 2: a TV moment that could benefit him greatly.
- 12:39Speaker 1: Well, he, trust me, he's probably getting more exposure from
- 12:42Speaker 1: it with her not debating now, because now everybody across
- 12:45Speaker 1: the country, not even involved with Ohio is looking this
- 12:47Speaker 1: up online to watch it. It's it's making an impact.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Good morning, America. That was the second story on good morning,
- 12:53Speaker 1: America this morning.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Oh, okay. The other thing. Oh, So you're saying that
- 13:03Speaker 2: making more news by not– you mean the whole thing
- 13:06Speaker 2: about her mom is making the national news?
- 13:10Speaker 1: Yeah, if her concern is I don't want to debate
- 13:13Speaker 1: him because he'll bring this up in front of people
- 13:15Speaker 1: watching the debate, that backfired because there are more people
- 13:18Speaker 1: seeing it now than ever would have seen it had
- 13:19Speaker 1: he brought it up in front of the debate audience.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean I'm sure that I would assume
- 13:26Speaker 2: that her and her campaign, they thought about that when
- 13:28Speaker 2: they decided not to debate him. But my point is that,
- 13:32Speaker 2: you know, they figure, well, if we do debate him,
- 13:36Speaker 2: then he's going to bring up, you know, my daughter
- 13:40Speaker 2: and my mom on the TV. And that, you know,
- 13:44Speaker 2: that could make commercials as well. I guess she's damned
- 13:48Speaker 2: either way. The other thing that I want to point
- 13:52Speaker 2: out is if the tables were reversed, if Vivek Ramaswamy...
- 14:00Speaker 2: If he was the one whose mother called him a
- 14:03Speaker 2: liar and who's had a daughter who called the cops
- 14:06Speaker 2: on him, the Democrats, of course, would be all over
- 14:10Speaker 2: and doing the same thing that the Vakes doing. But yet,
- 14:13Speaker 2: you know, they they they say, oh, I can't believe
- 14:16Speaker 2: that he's doing this. bringing this up. But the hypocrisy
- 14:20Speaker 2: is that, of course, that they would do the same
- 14:21Speaker 2: thing if the roles were reversed.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Well, I actually saw an alleged Democrat online the other day, Pete,
- 14:26Speaker 1: that was saying Ramaswamy's father won't even vote for him.
- 14:29Speaker 1: Ramaswamy's father is not a citizen of the U.S. He
- 14:31Speaker 1: can't vote for him. But they tried to make that
- 14:34Speaker 1: they tried to imply that Ramaswamy's father was not even
- 14:36Speaker 1: supporting him for governor, which that's that's ridiculousness, too. He's
- 14:41Speaker 1: not a citizen. He can't vote. Ransom data and maybe
- 14:45Speaker 1: even if I'm nice.
