  Speaker 1: two one double UTV in one eight hundred six ten
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: double UTV, and on Facebook just Chuck Douglas Chuck D Talker.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. At Chuck D talker is what I think
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I am. On Twitter, which I refuse to call X
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: because that's a silly name, and Instagram, and I'm on
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: other stuff too, but i don't pay attention to it,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: so there's no point in following me there. You know.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: It's just like one of the it's it's mandatory. Social
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: media is a mandatory part of this job. I hate it, honestly,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I hate it. I'm just it's I think it detracts
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: from this the conversation. You'd be surprised how many times
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about something and I think this is a
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: very interesting thing. People need to know about this. I'm
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: sure they'll have questions, and I'm talking about it and
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at Zach and I'm looking at the screen
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: like there's nobody calling about this. And then I'll look
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: at the phone and I've got nine people on the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: instant messenger sending me comments questions whatever. Okay, you know
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: that's nice, but it's a talk show and it's a
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: little difficult to talk to those instant messages. Social media
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: is a necessary evil, but it's also a pain in
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the tuk us as far as I'm concerned when it
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: comes to this job. Your forehead is looking at me
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: as if I'm saying something. Is that secret information? I'm
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: not supposed to say that out loud. Is that what
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you're gonna tell me? No?
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: No, no, I was actually thinking I should do more
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: social media stuff, but I don't, and I should.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: You don't get on there very often at all. No,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: but again I should. For as much as you are online, yeah,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you probably should. You are? You get all old. You're
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: constantly looking at and stuff. Most of it we can't
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: talk about publicly, but you're constantly yeah stuff.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: But that's the thing. I have to figure out how
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: to go online in front of people without showing them
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: what I'm looking at.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Columba City Council, as we were talking about last week,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: considering changes in the city's juvenile juvenile Curfew ordinance, This
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of course happening after that fight, which happened in the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: middle of the day out at Saint Catharine's. But in
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: typical Columbus government fashion, if something happens in the middle
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of the day, you change the nighttime rules. That's their
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: first reaction. If the streets are shot up, the first
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: thing you do is stop allowing people to eat after
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: ten pm. That's that's how we handle things here. Video
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: from the event showed groups of teenagers throwing punches and fighting,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: promoting city leaders to look at ways to prevent similar
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: accidents in the future. There are lots of ways. The
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: thing of it is is you don't want to talk
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: about any of them. Well, could you be offending someone?
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm saying? As well as I
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: don't need to say it, it's there. Council President Shannon Harden,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: according to the WSYX story, said the proposals intended to
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: enforce or reinforce expectations for young people and their families. Okay,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: so now it's gonna be and their family is a
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: curfew on the families? Am I gonna have a curfew?
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I am so sick of the pomp. Anyway, we know
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: what we need to create or we know that we
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: need to create community norms and make sure that folks
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: know that we do have a curfew and that our
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: city does have expectations around where and when our young
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: people are at what time? Harden said, mister Harden, we
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: used to have community norms until you and your ilk
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: took over and eliminated them all. Believe it or not,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: you used to go to jail for breaking the law
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: in Columbus. I know it's hard to believe, but there
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: was a time Virginia. There was a time kids bad
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: kids used to get disciplined in Columbus. But we fixed
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: all that. Look, I know you don't like it. I
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: know you you can't go back time. Well, you took
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: us forward in time, and look look where we ended up.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: The fact of the matter is here we go. I
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: need church organ music. I swear because I feel like
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: preach it. The fact of the matter is when spare
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: of the rods spoil the child was written on the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: kitchen wall, and Dad came home from work and whooped
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: up on your butt if you disobeyed or or disrespectful
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: to mom. We didn't have drive by shootings, even though
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: we had kids with rifles in the back of their
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: car driving to high school because it was squirrel hunting season.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: We didn't have drive by shootings. Even though the evil
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: rock and roll had come on our shores with little
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: mop top haircuts, and then in the form of the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Rolling Stones, and then the counterculture, then the Free Love,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: then the flower Children, we still made maintained a sense
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: of good and bad and right and wrong. Crime did
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: create punishment. There was such a thing as shame. Parents
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: were not culprits or bad guys when they disciplined their children.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Fathers went to work, mothers stayed home. People got married
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: before producing a brood of kids, and the world was
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a better place. But see, we didn't want all that
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: The lefties didn't want all that we wanted. Fathers aren't necessary.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Woman could be a woman, could be a mother and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: a father. In fact, nowadays a woman could be a man.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: That's how far left we've come. Man, we changed all that.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Don't be whipping on your children because the children's services
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: will get involved. Take your children away from you, put
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: them in a foster home where they'll whipped there butts.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: But you better not do it. Don't you try to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: eat your children anything that contradicts the public education and
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: indoctrination system, because if they come in here trying to
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: tell me your version of American history that you learn
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: back in your day when you were actually living the history.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: That no, they'll get an F on that paper, but
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: we won't hold them back because nobody fails. They will
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: move on from one grade to the next, no matter
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: how inferior their intellect might be, because we don't want
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to hurt their feelings. Then we'll send them out into
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the world as adults, as incompetent people that expect to
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: be rewarded for doing nothing, and somebody will have to
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: support them. So the taxes are going to have to
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: go up, and they're gonna have to go up on you,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: because God knows, those kids aren't getting jobs to pay
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: into the system. This is the world you and you're
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: ilk created. And now you're saying we need to reinforce
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: expectations for young people and their families. You destroyed them families.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: You and everyone like you destroyed their families. What you
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: are dealing with today is the end result. Maybe not
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: even the end. It could get worse, Damn that's us.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Hang on a second. That is a frightening and disgusting,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: sickening thought. It could get worse, but it could get worse.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: What you're dealing with today is the result, the in
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: progress result of what you and your ilk created. The
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: game plan they have in place right now is for
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: younger children. The curfew begins one hour after sunset, which
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: in the winter will be six pm. I'm just saying,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Hardin said, the city wants to make it clear violations
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: will be taken seriously. How seriously, mister Harden, President, Harden,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Counsel and Harden, How seriously hang on? Do you still
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: have my organ because I'm preaching again, How seriously are
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: we gonna take the curfew violations? When the same kids
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: stole a car at fifteen times and we didn't take
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: that seriously. When the key of boys, we're stealing keys
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and hyundays all over the city of Columbus, day after
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: day after day after day after day. Woman on Channel
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: ten news pleading please put my child in jail, but
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: we didn't take that seriously. Police took the child home
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: to mom. Mom said, please don't leave him here. Taking
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to jail. The boy said, I'm going up the back
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: door to steal another car. Next day stealing another car
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and shortly thereafter was shot while stealing a car. Who
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: wasn't killed, by the way, fortunate in that respect, and
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: he was one of lots around this city. How serious
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: did we take that, Councilman Harden. They had an excuse,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: they had a plan, they had a program, they had
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: a task force. We have a system in the juvenile
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: justice system. We have a scoring system to decide what
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to do with these kids. When they come in. We
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: need to know other two parents in the house, what's
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the highest level of education, what's the household income, what
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: did they have for breakfast? We make them take off
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: their shoes to see if their feet are smelly. We
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: had shut up. We had this down to a science
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: until you and your ilk decided we were wrong. Reap
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: your harvest? What was it? The pastor said, look like
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the liberal chicken come home to roosts. That's right, Jeremiah
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: told you. And you're experiencing that. And now what we
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: want to do is we want to change the curfews.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: We don't want to you know, I would enforce the
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: laws because you know, whether it's three o'clock in the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: afternoon or three o'clock in the morning. If a fifteen
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: year old kid beats up an old guy and takes
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: his wallet, put his ass in fifteen year old kid jail,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter if there was a curfew or not. Oh,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna be able to add curfew violation
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to the fact that he just humiliated this old man,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: this army veteran, beat him upside the head and took
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: his Social Security money out of his pot. We will
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: get to add curfew violation to that. That's like somebody
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: getting shot dead in the middle of the street. And yeah,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: and we can add hate crime to it. Who gives
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: a flip about your hate crime? Dead is dead, Evil
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: is evil. Bad deeds are bad deeds. Punish the bad people,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: quit trying to rework the wheel and do what you're
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: supposed to do. Or maybe that's just me Zachary. You
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: feel free, you provided the organ music, Feel free? Any
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: points that I am missing, any points you want to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: contradict on this, because I will welcome You're weird, but
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I do value your opinion.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I very much appreciate it, and I would obviously tell
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: you if I had a disagreement, but I don't have
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: anything to disagree with you on.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: You know I could, but I don't embarrassed. Go ahead, No, seriously,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: if you want, if you want to disagree on something,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I encourage you to do that. You debate, discussion, disagreement
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: with respect. That is always how I've done this show.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: No, I just on this particular issue. Don't have anything, sir,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: don't have anything?
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Do you do you ever have to say, Charlie, you
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: know the law says you have to be home? Or
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: are you to say, have your butt home at six
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: thirty for dinner? Yeah? Get home? Would you?
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: He knows what time to come home, come home at
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: this time. That's it.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Don't need a law for that. I do not know.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Police don't have to come out and make sure he gets home.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: They do not. Huh.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: He just comes home when he's supposed to, and if
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: he doesn't, there's gonna be an issue.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Brian Steele, by the way, my good, close personal friend,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Brian Steele. Love him, love him, love him, I really do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: FOP President Lodge number nine. He said that he hopes
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: a renewed focus on curfew enforcement and successful. Buddy questioned
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: how the ordnance is going to actually work in practice.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: He said several questions remain unanswered, including where curfew violators
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: are going to be taken. You're just gonna take him home,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: say they're out after well, then they get nothing. You
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: gonna take him to jail. We don't have kid jail.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if they do take him home and say the
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: mom and dad is out working and they're a single
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: parent home, what do you?
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just leave if they don't care. And again, we
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: have a curfew in a city where we're in the
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: state of Ohio where there is Listen closely now, there
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: is no minimum age for a child to be left
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: home alone. Do you understand that? Do you understand that
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: as long as a child is not you know, living
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: in filth, starved or whatever, there is no minimum age
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: for idle I couldn't believe that when I found that out,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: because honestly, I think twelve is kind of my cutof point,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: and that's pushing it. But I can't see leaving your
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: eight year old kid at home alone. But it ain't
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: against the law. How what? Really, we're going to have
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: a curfew for when they have to be off the street,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: but they can come home to a completely empty house
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: and you're not violating any laws. Do you realize that?
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Absolutely crazy? What will the public reaction be if a
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: juvenile refuses lawful commands resist to rest, and officers must
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: use force to gain compliance. Brian ask that in his
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: statement as well. And you know how kids are today,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: especially those who might start a big fight in the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: middle of the same cans festival. How old are you? Man?
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Don't even ask me no question? How old are you?
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? Ask them to see ID?
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, how because kids can't have IDs. If
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: a grown up can't have an ID to vote, how
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: do we expect kids to have an ID? I'm telling you, man,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: this reinventing the wheel. We don't need to reinvent the wheel.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: We just need to put the original factory wheels back
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: on the plastic car and start driving it the way
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: it's supposed to be driven. Because we got better mile
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: age and it was a lot more fun to see
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: in the USA and your Chevrolet when we had the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: original wheels on the car.
