  Speaker 1: I was just reading over Dollywood. Dollywood closed a couple
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: of theme parks, Dolly Parton herself canceling some concerts due
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: to what she called some health issues. That this kind
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: of worries me because Dolly Partner is one of those
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: people that everything just seems to go right for and
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: she's always doing good things, and she's known for her
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: good works and her you know, her children's reading program
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and just basically everybody thinking she's a sweetheart, and and
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: you know, she seems to have a very favorable personality,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and you're used to seeing good stuff about Dolly Parton
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: all the time, and in the last couple of days
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: it's been you know, illness concerns and canceling concerts and
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: now to Dollywood locations closing. I hope all is well.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: That out there in Iowa, and that's superintendent the Iowa
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: believe this happened in Iowa. The superintendent of schools in
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: uh In, Iowa, that was Ice. Ice came and got him.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: He was here illegally. You see how he became superintendent
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: is beyond me. And now the story today says the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: universities deny credentials listed on Ian Roberts official biography. So
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: not only not only was he here illegally and hired
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: for a job as superintendent of the des Moines Public Schools,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and the Board of Education said, of course we vet him.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: We did, we researched him before we hired. I don't
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: think you did. I don't think you did. Otherwise you
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: would have known that the guy was here illegally and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: uh and and that the stuff that he put on
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: his uh, his biography, his his educational credentials. No, no
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: universities are now saying that many of the things he
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: listed there is his his educational qualifications are not true,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: not real. We've got access to everything, I mean, for
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: two dollars and ninety nine cents, you can get a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: one week trial to search out everything there is to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: know about everybody everywhere. And seriously, they couldn't do any
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: better than that. That's just sad. I mean, it's not
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: like this guy was working some inconsequential job behind the scene.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: He was the superintendent of the des Moines City Schools.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: You would think they might have paid a little more attention.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: School Board minutes from Robert's previous position at Mill Creek
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Township in Pennsylvania show officials questioned his credentials during the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty hiring process, noting that he lacked the educational
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: certificate from his educational facilities that he obtained his doctorate.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: The resignation comes as Justice Department Civil Rights Division investigates
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: alleged race based discrimination in hiring practices at Des Moines
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Public schools, which federal officials say violates federal law. So
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: this guy, this guy, by the way, he had dark
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: brown skinny was from? Where was it? Ghana? God? Guyana?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I think it was Ghana, you remember. I'm sorry, were
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you sleeping? I didn't mean to interrupt your.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Name about the Iowa guy? What are we talking about?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I just where he was from? Guina? Gina, Ghana? Diana? Good, good, good,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: good Guyhanna he was from? He was from Guhannas where
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: he's from?
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I do like how was like? I don't know what
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: was on his resume, how he got hired.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: It shouldn't have had.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: It makes me just want to apply for any job
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: and expect to get.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: It and just lie through your behind about your qualifications
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: because apparently nobody checks anything.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna apply for the president of Fidelity Bank or
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: something next, like it does like a million dollar job.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: You should and you'll get it. Go in there wearing
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a hoodie and shorts. Just tell him you graduated from
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the Fetterman School of Business and and see if if
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: they'll give you a shot. I remember as a young man,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I used to say, you know, I don't don't look
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: for what's on my, uh my resume, don't look for
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: what degrees I have. I can do the job. Let
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: me do the job. If I suck at it, fire me.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: If I don't, then I will benefit your company. That
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: was how I was, and I didn't have any problem
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: telling you know people that it interviews.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I used to hire people at the at the airport
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: when I worked for United as part of picking out people,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: so like we'd get a bunch of applications, I'd immediately
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: get rid of half of them because I didn't want
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: unlucky people working for me.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: And then we'd go from there.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Unlucky people, Yeah, how did you judge their luck versus their.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: It's randomly got rid of them.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: So if you threw away their application, they were the unlucky.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Government has shut down dated you know that.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I did know that.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Has it affected you in it? Oh?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: My it's completely turned my life upside down.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I too him. I'm suffering. I'm not sure how, but.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know how I made it end today.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: If there's somehow that I can become part of a
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: class action suit and get paid, I'm suffering. Just I
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: think you should know that Mayor Andrew Ginther here in
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the city of Columbus, the capital of the Ohio state,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: or the state of Ohio, or the Buckeye whatever, Andy Ginther.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Andy Gentther has been named one of the Governing Magazines
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Public Officials of the Year A moment of Silence for
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: common Sense.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: From the Ginther Printing Press Organization.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: It's an honor recognizing state and local leaders who quote
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to bring meaningful change to their communities. Okay, now it
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't say positive change, it doesn't say good change. It
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: just says meaningful. So maybe I'm off track on this.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Maybe he actually does deserve this way. The annual designation
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: celebrates officials, regardless of political party, who implement programs and
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: policies that make a tangible difference at home and provide
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: lessons for leaders nationwide.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: So to reinforce everything, it doesn't have to be good change.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying nothing. Nothing in that sentence dictates
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: that it has to be about positive things. Let me
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: read this sentence to you again. The annual designation celebrates officials,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: regardless of political party, who implement programs and policies that
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: make a tangible difference at home and provide lessons for
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: leaders nationwide.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I mean those lessons could be bad lessons don't do this.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Tangible does not mean good. It just means something that
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you can look at and see the results. So that
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: that sentence, while it sounds favorable, really is not favorable,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: takes no position at all, end up, and is completely accurate.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: It is completely accurate. I've got to say that the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: publication said Mayor Ginther's commitment to inclusive growth and regional
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: collaboration demonstrates the impact of dedicated city leadership. Again again,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: that is a completely accurate sentence because it doesn't say positive,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: it doesn't say wanted. It just says Mayor Ginther's commitment
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: to inclusive growth. Yes, he has that commitment meaning bring
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: in everybody, we don't care who they are, where they're from,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and what their intentions are. And regional collaboration meaning he
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: wants to get all the other mayors around him on
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: board demonstrates the impact of dedicated city leadership, meaning he
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: wants to be re elected in twenty seven. That is
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: a completely accurate sentence.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I mean impactful is a great word too, because I
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: mean you could be like Mussolini and be like I
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: was very impactful. Yes, yes, I'm not comparing the two
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: just in wait, but I'm not comparing the two the
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: way they govern.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: The publication highlight of aar Gentther's efforts in supporting Columbus
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: regional growth, saying he's emphasizing initiatives designed to ensure no
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: resident is left behind as the city expands. Again, very generic.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Define for me what is meant by left behind? It's
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: not just the difference between you know you're right behind,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: what is you can't. It's a subjective phrase. It could
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: mean anything, interpreted any way by anyone at any time,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: for any reason. That is a completely accurate sentence. They
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: all sound so positive, and yet they're saying pretty much nothing.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I man, I love the English language, especially. You can
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: make somebody think you said something you didn't say simply
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: by saying something else the way that the way that
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: you need to say it in order for them to
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: hear what you think they want to hear. It's that's
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: that's manipulation, right there. A two nine at eight six
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: A two one WUTV and Jerry Or on the Legacy
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Retirement Group dot com phone lines.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Hi, Yes, sir, I got a good idea for you
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: from doing out a resume. If you just use initials,
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: you sound really fantastic. For instance, I have a PhD,
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: which stands for posthold digger. I used to be a CPA,
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: which is a car parking attendant.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, what do you think I think? I think you
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: may be onto something, Jerry. In fact, you need to
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: apply for some big corporate job that pays you not
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: to work because you're you got those. That is brilliant,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: my friend. Thank you for that. I I never thought
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: of that, but he's right. I have a PhD too.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: In fact, I think I have two PhDs. If I'm
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: not mistaken, I do. I'm asking what huh?
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid to ask.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: No, My PhDs are like Jerry's post hole diggers. I
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: got two of them in the garage. I have two PhDs.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I like his thinking, just saying I'm still I'm still
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: looking at this stuff. I cannot stop reading because I
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: get little pop ups while I'm on the air, and
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: of course the government shut down, I can't get away
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: from it. Every time I look at the screen, there's
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: more stuff popping up. I do not think this is
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: going to last more than a couple of days, honestly,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and I think it's, you know, much ado about nothing
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: as they usually are. As I was saying earlier with Blazer,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I'm tired of I'm tired of the over and overness
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: of the continuing resolutions. We need to get a balanced budget.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Was it done? Might have been done that brought it,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was Scott. But what I'm said, you know,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: until we have a balanced budget, Congress doesn't get paid.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I think that's a brilliant idea. I mean that essentially,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: that's your job. That is your job to account for
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: and distribute the funds and the powers of the United
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: States government. So I would be in favor of that
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: a law, a resolute whatever it takes, that Congress doesn't
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: get paid until they have agreed upon a balanced budget.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I am infuriated that they're getting paid right now. Quite frankly,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying, oh no, that means she wants the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: government not to shut down. No, that's not what I'm
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: saying at all. What I'm saying is they are just
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: like yesterday. Remember I was talking about this state bill
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: that would allow state elected officials to carry guns, but
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: not you and me. I've got a problem with that.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I have a problem with the Congress that is saying, Hey,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: TSA people, you're not getting paid. Hey, flight or pat
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: CO people, are they still around the air traffic controlers?
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: You're not getting paid. All these people are not getting paid.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Military guys, you're not getting paid. Now you're still going
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: to work, but you're not getting paid, but we are
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: getting paid. That's wrong, that is wrong. Let us all
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: suffer together. You are our representatives, therefore you should you
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: should have to live by the same rules we did.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: But again national health care. Remember they wanted to push
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the ACA on us, the Obamacare on us. They wanted
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to have us have nationalized health care. But Congress was
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: not going to have that same. They were going to
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: keep their their private retirement fund that is funded with
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: money that we give them. We pay for them to
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: have a better retirement system. We pay for them to
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: have a better health care system than we have. Ourselves,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: and to extend their health care to all of the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: American people, to extend their pension fund to all of
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the American people. That is out of the question. And
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: a government shut down and all these various government essential
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: workers will be told you're still coming to work, you
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: still have a job to do, but you won't get
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: paid until we get this resolved. But we're going to
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: keep getting paid. That's offensive and non American as far
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: as I'm concerned.
