  Speaker 1: This story out of Florida. I want to tell you
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: about this, and let me just tell you right up
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: straight to your face.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: He is a legal US citizen via Green Guard. Okay,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: so let's get that out of the way. He is
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: twenty four years old. He was a clerk at Circle K.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: And he showed up Eduardo Felippe Ra Radra Macha showed
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: up to the store and he saw standing at the
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: counter and off duty officer police officer, officer Jewel.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Standing at the counter apparently had a couple of pops
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: at a hot dog and he was waiting for the clerk
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: who was actually on duty, to come back from the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: restroom so he could check out and go. This clerk,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: mister Machado, walked in the door and shot him twenty
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: four times.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Twenty three wasn't enough.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: No, twenty three was not sufficient. He had to go
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: twenty four. He unloaded his magazine, put a new magazine in,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and fired again. Of course, I already telling you about
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: his mental problems. So he was able to hold down
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: a job as a cashier at the circle K. So
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know how mental he was, and if he
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: is so bad that we should accept that he's not
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: responsible for this action. He shouldn't have been on the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: damn streets, but he.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Was, and Officer Jewel is now dead.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Another sad twist to the story, as the police department
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: down there did just start a GoFundMe to help pay
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: for the funeral expenses and so forth. They set a
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: goal of fifty thousand dollars two days ago. I think
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: it was.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Was it Monday?
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Tuesday? I guess it was Tuesday when they opened this up.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: And his funeral will be in a couple of days.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: So they did this with a fifty thousand dollars goal
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, and they've raised forty and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: forty five dollars. Luigi wats his facione who killed the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: You know how? How quick did they a million dollars
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: for him?
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Real quick?
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: They can't fifty thousand dollars to help with this officer's funeral. Seriously, Peple, Oh,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: that's embarrassing on behalf of all decent Americans. That is embarrassing.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: So yes, I will be posting a link to the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: GoFundMe page when I get off the air tonight. That
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I just I'm flabbergasted by this. Twenty four times walking
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: around in society with a car with a driver's license,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: no pass skirts with the law, was able to legally
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: purchase a gun. And then he comes in and just
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: does this because here's you know what he said, here's
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: why I did it. Zach hang onto this because this
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: is a complicated legal explanation. I was having a bad day.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Well there we go. I mean, what else needs to
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: be said? Trial over.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I've had a few bad days in my life. I
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: have yet to leave bodies on the street. I just
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm flabbergasted that this guy is out walking among
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: us and nobody, nobody before this point, said hey there's
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: a problem here. And secondly, fifty thousand dollars in two
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: days is an unattainable goal for this goalfundme for Officer Jewel.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I'm that sad.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: That is so sad.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Columbus what are they called?
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Storm? Helped me out with the name.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: The volleyball team, the Columbus volleyball team.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: That's what they're the Columbus volleyball team. Yes, is it storm?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I can't remember. It is the fury, the fury, that's right.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Storms do have fury, that's true. So this is a
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: women's volleyball team, and they've been around for what three years,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I believe, and Franklin County Commissioners are giving him five
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand of year dollars and City of Columbus via
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the wishes of Mayor Andrew Ginther and his wife Shannon.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: It's too easy, don't go there.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: One to the city of club is to give another
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars. This is a form of a grant.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Free money, not payable, not repayable, free money. Andy, I
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: could use the five hundred By the way, just if
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you don't mind, just send five hundred grand to me
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: as a grand. Look, they're drawing what three or four
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: thousand people per game? Yeah, I got a couple of
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: more than that listening to me every day. So hey,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: oh it's about women's sports. Well I've lost a lot
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of weight, but I still kind of have breasts.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's that's uh.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying I should get five hundred thousand dollars.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I want free money. Give me free money, send me
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: free money. May again, there should be sending me free money.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: In fact, if he could just drop it off of
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the house tonight, that'd be wonderful because I can use
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: it right now.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Maybe put a net up in your front yard and
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: we can play one on one volleyball.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: We could.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I will wear those little tight shorts. I would live
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: so hot, amazing.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I s.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I probably look kind of pale because of all the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: gold bond, but still, yeah, are you.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Gonna put some pictures up also? Okay, so they're giving.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Them a million dollars in free money. Here's my problem
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: with this. If you are in business to making money
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and you're not making money, then there is no audience
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: for your product, and pumping more money into it doesn't
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: make sense, especially when it's not your money. Giving away
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a million dollars of the public's money for something that
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: is not able to sustain itself doesn't make sense. And
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: somebody had message Blazer earlier because they were they were
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: upset I think with what I said, but they were
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: blaming Mark for it. I don't know how it works,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: but they were upset. But you know, we throw money
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: at the Browns. That I got a problem with that.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I got a problem with throwing money at the Browns,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: or at the Bengals or at the buck Guys for
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: goodness sake, sure, for different reasons. They make their own money.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: They are there to make money, correct, and they do
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: if they didn't. I've already said, very frequently, very loudly,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: very openly, we should not be dipping into the state's
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: funds for the the what do you call it, the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: unclean fund see, to pay for a Brown stadium. Well,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: but the Browns will be paying it back. Well, if
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: there's such a good credit risk, let them go out
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and get a loan. We the people should not be
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: paying for that. We didn't want the arena. Do you
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: remember nature, or if you've been around long enough, you
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: remember the taxpayer said we don't want to pay to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: build an arena.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: It happened anyway, and they asked the county commissioner who
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: was at was it Jack Focus?
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: That wasn't Jack Foulk? Who was it?
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: They asked the county commissioner, well, what's planned B since
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the people turn this down post?
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: And he said there is no plan B.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: But then suddenly there was a plan B. So they
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: developed the arena, the nationwide Arena privately instead of with
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars. Right, So, and then what happens Then quietly
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the Franklin County commissioners took it over on behalf of
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the people of Franklin County. So we got the damned
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: arena whether we wanted it or not. Because when they
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: want it to happen, it's going to happen. Period. Don't
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: try to argue, don't try to make a point.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Won't happen.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: We've been going through this forever.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: You remember Amara Flora didn't want it, got it anyway.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Remember Brushstrokes in Flight didn't want it?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Got it anyway?
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Is that?
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Remember the Christopher Columbus statue wanted it, they took it away.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Remember the Santa Maria down there on the riverfront liked it,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: took it away. We got no saying anything seriously seriously.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: And now they're gonna throw a million dollars at a
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: team that is drawing maybe three or four thousand people
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: to a game. That's the thing.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Like the WNBA has been around since ninety six, they
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: never made a profit. Now with Caitlin Clark in the way,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: they may turn a profit sometime maybe, And they were
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: propped up by the NBA. I don't ever see. And
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: this is no offense to professional volleyball. That can't there's
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: no way that professional volleyball is going to turn a
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: proud There's not that much interest in the sport.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think so, not right now. I just saw
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: something today for what was it flag rugby? Girls? Flag rugby?
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Are they wearing the same thing they do?
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: It's in volleyball, I don't know. But it's for young
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: girls like grades six to eight or something like that. Well,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: it's a flag rugby. It's a flag rugby thing.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know that there's a market for rugby, but
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: that's fine. If you want to teach them how to play.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Maybe it'll get him into another sport that one day
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: that people will maybe you know, years from now, women's
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: volleyball will be a big thing. But for right now,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: it's not making the money, not drawing the crowd.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: No, there's eight teams. I mean, that's it. So that's
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: not a lot of I don't know how many games
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: this season they play.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: But when is the last time, seriously, you turned on
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Matt McCoy or you turned on the TV sports and
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: you heard about the Columbus fury. I've grown up here.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I didn't need I had to ask Zach the name
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: of the zem and I've read the story twice today.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying it. If there's not an audience, bless
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: your hearts. But it didn't work out and you move
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: on to something else. But you don't throw more money
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: out it, especially when it's not your money. A two
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to one WTV and is a number Debbie standing by,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Let's get her in here. You're on six to TENATV
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: in high Debbie.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: Hey, Chuck, Hey man, you hit a nerve with me
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: because Kinther with this money, he's throwing up the fury,
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: you know, Okay, whatever, But he turned down an opportunity
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: to host maybe a w team.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Not only did he not only turned it down, he
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: didn't even talk to him. All reports are he wouldn't
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: even talk to them, and that makes.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: No sense to me. This just shows that he's really
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I'm not going to say nothing bad
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: about the man, but everybody choose your side, but this guy,
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: why would you do that? I mean, we got the
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: women's OSU team, we got the men's everybody's latching onto
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: the WNBA.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Now I know.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: I have been and we had a chance to get
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: them interested in our city. We've got the arenas. We
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: could have done it.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got nothing wrong with success bringing in new team.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I have nothing wrong with the mayor stated goal of
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: making Columbus a prominent place for women's sports and athletics.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: But that does not jibe with the fact that you
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: didn't even speak with the WNBA a month ago when
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: you had the chance.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: I know, and it actually it was a little bit
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: longer than a month ago. Yeah, it probably, Yeah, and
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: that just angered me. I'm like, okay, whatever, that's.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Life in Columbus, a lot of whatever.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, if you want to put us on a national thing,
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: you're saying, then open up room for a w NBA
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: team to be established.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I can't argue with you, Debbie. I'm going to get
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Mike on here before we say good bye. Mike, you'll
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: wrap us up here on six to WTVN.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: Thanks Chuck. I think subsidizing a professional volleyball team, it
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: doesn't bring me attendance for somebody that a it's a
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: professional team. Joe Burrow owns part of it. I mean,
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: I think Joe Burrow's pockets are a little bit deeper
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: than Yes.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: If Burrow owns part of it, my gosh, coming up
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: with a million dollars it doesn't cost the taxpayers money,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: should not be a problem exactly. I didn't know he
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: was part.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Owner of that.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Wow, I do know this new football team we're supposed
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to be getting up. One of the owners I think,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I think kind of a majority owner is the Rock
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Dwayne Johnson, and uh, I'm hoping he brings some star player.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I'd love to see that succeed. But if it folds
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: like the like the Destroyers and so forth in the past,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: so be it. But you know, when you've got wealthy
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: notables like that behind the team, especially for what is
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: i'm gonna say it relatively a paltry sum of a
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: million dollars. Yeah, they should be able to get that
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: without dipping into the taxpayer's pockets
