Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Grading salitations. Welcome my friends, do another edition of the
- 0:02Speaker 1: Power Hour on six ten WTV and I'm Chuck Douglas.
- 0:06Speaker 1: You know who you are, and we take it from there.
- 0:07Speaker 1: We get one hour together, which means I talk really
- 0:09Speaker 1: fast and you must listen even faster. My number eight
- 0:12Speaker 1: two one nine eight eight six A two one WUTV
- 0:15Speaker 1: in or one eight hundred six ten WTV in. It's
- 0:19Speaker 1: been like twelve hours, so I just wanted to let
- 0:21Speaker 1: you there has not been another massage parlor rated in
- 0:23Speaker 1: the last twelve hours, just so you we're under that's
- 0:26Speaker 1: been going on a lot here the last week. I
- 0:29Speaker 1: have to assume, although nobody has really talked about it,
- 0:33Speaker 1: there must have been like a a at least a
- 0:37Speaker 1: county wide, if not a statewide effort to start gathering
- 0:43Speaker 1: information on these places and start busting them, because I mean,
- 0:46Speaker 1: three inside of a week, ten days, that's that's a
- 0:49Speaker 1: little unusual, don't you think, I know, it's it's just glid.
- 0:52Speaker 1: I'm just glad I wasn't there for any of them. Well,
- 0:55Speaker 1: you weren't scheduled to work, were you? No, I have
- 0:58Speaker 1: to wake off, So that's a sad, sad statement. Now,
- 1:05Speaker 1: I you know, I guess it depends. I'm not I'm
- 1:15Speaker 1: not necessarily in favor of what they might have been
- 1:21Speaker 1: cited with, why they might have been closed down, rated, whatever,
- 1:26Speaker 1: But if if there is force being applied or children
- 1:31Speaker 1: are involved, I am a lot more apt to get
- 1:34Speaker 1: on the bandwagon. It's just one of those things where
- 1:40Speaker 1: I just we in so many ways, and I think
- 1:46Speaker 1: inappropriate ways, we have moved on from you know, that
- 1:51Speaker 1: basically centered in Christianity beginning that this country had, and
- 1:57Speaker 1: over the years we've just devolved that. Well, yeah, but
- 2:01Speaker 1: things have changed now, so this is okay, and that's okay.
- 2:05Speaker 1: And that that whole issue of the exchange of money
- 2:11Speaker 1: in exchange for sexual favors, that's something that has never changed.
- 2:17Speaker 1: We have remained very, very attached to those roots, those
- 2:23Speaker 1: puritanical roots, as they say, and I'm frankly, I'm kind
- 2:28Speaker 1: of surprised. I don't know if it's for better or
- 2:30Speaker 1: for worse. I just know that, you know, if you
- 2:38Speaker 1: go back to our origins, to our founding, there are
- 2:42Speaker 1: many things today that are allowed, how we dress, how
- 2:46Speaker 1: we talk, what words we use, things like gay marriage,
- 2:52Speaker 1: which are generally accepted now at at least the government level.
- 2:58Speaker 1: That would never have flown. But hey, things change, the
- 3:03Speaker 1: country changes, the rules change, so we change with it,
- 3:06Speaker 1: except except in this case. And I've just I've always
- 3:11Speaker 1: been intrigued by that that while everything else was negated,
- 3:18Speaker 1: or everything else that was negated in favor of change
- 3:21Speaker 1: and progress, that that's one thing that never has been
- 3:25Speaker 1: Am I making sense to you? Because I know your
- 3:27Speaker 1: brain is small and you you can't always keep up
- 3:29Speaker 1: with me.
- 3:29Speaker 2: No, no, I got it.
- 3:30Speaker 1: I am with you today? Really? Yes? Did you take
- 3:33Speaker 1: your vitamins?
- 3:34Speaker 2: Huh?
- 3:35Speaker 1: Okay, So yeah, that I'm just I'm going to keep watching.
- 3:39Speaker 1: But because there have been three in a week or so,
- 3:42Speaker 1: I'm not going to be surprised if we see some more.
- 3:45Speaker 1: And if I was operating one of those businesses, I
- 3:47Speaker 1: would probably be scheduling vacations for everyone right now because
- 3:52Speaker 1: I have a feeling there's going to be more again,
- 3:55Speaker 1: for better or for worse. I guess it depends on
- 3:57Speaker 1: your point of view. This story out of DC Chipotle story,
- 4:02Speaker 1: and I got a couple of messages Mark and I
- 4:04Speaker 1: just lightly quickly touched on it before he left. What
- 4:09Speaker 1: do they call teen takeovers? Teen take that's one of
- 4:13Speaker 1: the I don't know where that originated. Zac do you know?
- 4:15Speaker 1: Is that a TikTok thing? Is it? What is it?
- 4:17Speaker 1: I don't have any idea.
- 4:21Speaker 3: Usually when they don't say the race, it usually means
- 4:24Speaker 3: anything but white.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Oh well, yeah, Idia. But other than that, I don't know.
- 4:28Speaker 1: We had those those what do you call thems the
- 4:34Speaker 1: robbery things going on a couple of years ago, where mobs, yeah,
- 4:38Speaker 1: flash mobs where everybody would meet. It started innocently, they'd
- 4:41Speaker 1: flash mob and they'd gather at a shopping moment and
- 4:43Speaker 1: everybody would break out into a dance. But then it became,
- 4:47Speaker 1: you know, everybody would meet at the jewelry store and
- 4:50Speaker 1: rush through the doors and bust the counters and steal
- 4:52Speaker 1: the jewelry and run back out, knowing that there was
- 4:54Speaker 1: no possible way they'd be able to stop them all
- 4:56Speaker 1: or catch them all. And now islence is part of it.
- 5:02Speaker 1: And this Chipotle in the DC area, I think they
- 5:05Speaker 1: said up to fifteen kids that came in and they
- 5:10Speaker 1: they start a big fight in the Chipotle and fox
- 5:14Speaker 1: was running. You know, they've got their little headlines at
- 5:16Speaker 1: the bottom that said parents in DC teen takeover could
- 5:20Speaker 1: be held responsible I don't know that I'm on board
- 5:26Speaker 1: with this, and I know a lot of people are.
- 5:30Speaker 1: These parents need to be held accountable for what their
- 5:32Speaker 1: kids are doing now, not necessarily, not all the time
- 5:35Speaker 1: depends on the kid. Again, we have changed in the
- 5:40Speaker 1: name of progress. And when they want to tell you,
- 5:45Speaker 1: you know, you can't discipline your kid this way, you
- 5:47Speaker 1: can't restrain your kid this way. You can't. But your
- 5:50Speaker 1: kid turns out to be some wild, garbage minded felon
- 5:55Speaker 1: in the works, you're to be held responsible for it.
- 6:02Speaker 1: You remember those people, I think they were Northern Ohio
- 6:04Speaker 1: that they claimed they locked their kids in cages years ago.
- 6:08Speaker 1: There's been multiple stories of that. I'm not sure if
- 6:10Speaker 1: I know that if that's the what I'm specifically thinking of,
- 6:13Speaker 1: but yeah, and it turned out to be kids with
- 6:15Speaker 1: violent tendencies, emotional problems and everything else. And they had
- 6:18Speaker 1: locks on their beds to keep them from getting up
- 6:20Speaker 1: in the middle of the night and murdering the family.
- 6:23Speaker 1: But they were criminals as far as the law and
- 6:25Speaker 1: the media were concerned. Oh, you locked up your children.
- 6:30Speaker 1: You see you know your children, You're raising your children.
- 6:34Speaker 1: You see the good the bad, you see them every day.
- 6:38Speaker 1: But you are limited by law as to what you
- 6:42Speaker 1: can do and how you can do it. Now, I'm not,
- 6:45Speaker 1: you know, saying you should abuse your children, but I
- 6:50Speaker 1: am saying that you know the appropriate, appropriate discipline from
- 6:53Speaker 1: a parent is vital. And if if there's talk of
- 7:00Speaker 1: holding parents responsible for these children, and they are children
- 7:05Speaker 1: by law, parents have the kids probably fewer hours than
- 7:15Speaker 1: the schools do, why are the schools not going to
- 7:17Speaker 1: be held responsible? Just a thought. If every damn body's
- 7:23Speaker 1: going to be responsible for what these kids do except
- 7:25Speaker 1: the kids doing it, seems to me there's plenty of
- 7:29Speaker 1: room to shovel the blame in all kinds of directions.
- 7:36Speaker 1: You do what you can to raise your children, but
- 7:40Speaker 1: there does come a time, especially those mid teens. You know,
- 7:44Speaker 1: they're three years, four years away from becoming legal adults,
- 7:47Speaker 1: where they know everything they do, what they're going to do,
- 7:49Speaker 1: what they want to do, and have no respect for
- 7:51Speaker 1: anything you ever taught them, because hey, all my friends
- 7:54Speaker 1: are doing it. You cannot be with them over them,
- 8:00Speaker 1: controlling them twenty four hours a day. And I just
- 8:05Speaker 1: I hope that this does not happen in DC. I
- 8:07Speaker 1: hope the kids are held responsible, highly responsible for their actions.
- 8:13Speaker 1: But I truly unless they can show me that the
- 8:15Speaker 1: parents were in some way, uh, the collaborative in this
- 8:19Speaker 1: bad behavior. I really hope they don't try to hammer
- 8:23Speaker 1: the parents, or maybe that's just me. I do on
- 8:25Speaker 1: A two one nine eight eighty six. My number A
- 8:26Speaker 1: two one w TV and that's the Legacy Retirement Group
- 8:28Speaker 1: dot com phone lines. And is that is Brian, Brian
- 8:32Speaker 1: or Byron? You're on six t n WTV.
- 8:33Speaker 4: In it's Brian. Hey, Chuck, how are you okay?
- 8:37Speaker 1: How are you? That's my spelling, so.
- 8:40Speaker 3: Well, you know what, You're right. I don't think it's
- 8:43Speaker 3: right to hold all parents accountable for that, because I
- 8:47Speaker 3: guarantee if some parents think their kids are little angels
- 8:49Speaker 3: and they might be, that they fall in the right
- 8:52Speaker 3: wrong crowd at a long time, they might do something stupid.
- 8:55Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely do some people should. Some parents should be
- 9:00Speaker 4: telled accountable, but not all. That's one thing. And as
- 9:03Speaker 4: far as we go with our teen crimes here in
- 9:06Speaker 4: Ohai and Columbus, especially from your day and my day,
- 9:10Speaker 4: bring back Kee too.
- 9:14Speaker 1: I've been saying for years we need kid jailed. We
- 9:17Speaker 1: took it away, we need it back. There needs to
- 9:19Speaker 1: be some price to be paid for bad acts on society.
- 9:24Speaker 1: And if we can fix you at fourteen, maybe, just
- 9:27Speaker 1: maybe we won't have to fix you again at twenty.
- 9:29Speaker 4: Four exactly or worse.
- 9:33Speaker 1: The violence, the violence is just way too easy to
- 9:36Speaker 1: perpetuate anymore. And that that's a fear for me, Brian,
- 9:40Speaker 1: because these kids today, they just seem disconnected from the
- 9:43Speaker 1: heinousness of some of the things they do. I don't
- 9:46Speaker 1: know if it's video games. I don't know if it's movies.
- 9:48Speaker 1: I don't know if it's social media. But you know,
- 9:51Speaker 1: to whip out a gun and put a bullet in
- 9:53Speaker 1: somebody just doesn't even seem to phase them anymore. And
- 9:56Speaker 1: I don't get that. I don't get that at all.
- 9:58Speaker 1: And that scares me because for as long as that
- 10:01Speaker 1: is the case and remains out of control with no
- 10:04Speaker 1: repercussions or no significant repercussions, it's going to continue and
- 10:07Speaker 1: it's going to get worse. YEP, I appreciate you, buddy,
- 10:11Speaker 1: Thanks very much for the call. A two one ninety
- 10:13Speaker 1: eight six A two one WTV. Now a parent has
- 10:15Speaker 1: said is complicit as collaborative in a kid doing something.
- 10:18Speaker 1: That's a different matter. We had the the was it
- 10:22Speaker 1: a Michigan Michigan parents that face charges because their their
- 10:27Speaker 1: son went on a shooting rampage. They he had mental problems,
- 10:30Speaker 1: They knew he had mental problems. They bought him the rifle. Okay,
- 10:34Speaker 1: now see that's a different matter. That is a different
- 10:38Speaker 1: You were complicit in the bad act, and yes you
- 10:44Speaker 1: need to pay. But if if you're just doing your
- 10:50Speaker 1: best to raise your kid and your kid takes a
- 10:53Speaker 1: left turn at Albuquerque and goes out there and does
- 10:56Speaker 1: something against society, against other human beings, unless there's some
- 11:04Speaker 1: history that you should have been able to foresee it,
- 11:07Speaker 1: some lack of activity, you should have been able to
- 11:10Speaker 1: do something to control the situation or the child. I
- 11:15Speaker 1: can't say that parents are always responsible for the bad
- 11:18Speaker 1: acts of their kids. It may sound good, it makes
- 11:21Speaker 1: a good bumper sticker, but I don't know that it's realistic.
- 11:25Speaker 1: A two to one WTV and Bruce, let's get you
- 11:28Speaker 1: on sixteen DOUBETVN.
- 11:30Speaker 3: Hey, how's it going?
- 11:31Speaker 2: Great? Great topic. Hey, I was raised by a single
- 11:35Speaker 2: mother and she put the fear of God in me
- 11:39Speaker 2: to respect police officers, teachers, doctors, nurses and that well,
- 11:44Speaker 2: I was about thirteen and kind of got a little
- 11:48Speaker 2: crazy at that age. And she dropped me off at
- 11:52Speaker 2: fifty East Mound Street and left me there. They took
- 11:56Speaker 2: me inside and everything. So it is the parents problem.
- 12:01Speaker 2: They need to they need to let their kids know
- 12:04Speaker 2: there's three percussions of being a bad child.
- 12:06Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 12:07Speaker 1: And what was that Children's services she dropped you off at.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Yeah, well they used to just be fiftiest Mound Street
- 12:15Speaker 2: back in the day.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I do children children's services these days. I
- 12:20Speaker 1: don't know when the last interaction you had with the
- 12:22Speaker 1: Bruce was. But I'll tell you what I'm I'm not
- 12:24Speaker 1: impressed by what they do or how they do it either.
- 12:28Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's it's different nowadays. Yeah, but you know what,
- 12:33Speaker 2: you got to get them when they're young. You got
- 12:35Speaker 2: to get them when they're young. You got to teach
- 12:37Speaker 2: them when they're young. I tell my kids, they have
- 12:40Speaker 2: children now, my grandkids that when we used to what
- 12:44Speaker 2: was that Animal Kingdom on.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Sundays, Mutual Wild Kingdom, Yeah.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Mutual of Omaha when they had the lions and that
- 12:53Speaker 2: all the time with the mother lyon with the cubs,
- 12:57Speaker 2: and if the cup went off too far, the mom
- 13:00Speaker 2: over to it smacked it, yep, give it a pall
- 13:03Speaker 2: to its little nogging and made sure it came back absolutely.
- 13:08Speaker 1: And you, by the way, just when they're young, Just
- 13:10Speaker 1: so you know, Bruce, you can still watch mutual of
- 13:12Speaker 1: Overhall's Wild Kingdom Sunday mornings at seven o'clock on me
- 13:15Speaker 1: TV network. It's still out there. Oh awesome, it's and
- 13:19Speaker 1: it's the old ones too, with Marlin, Marlon Perkins and
- 13:22Speaker 1: Jim Fowler. It's uh yeah, it's kind of cool to
- 13:24Speaker 1: get up on Sunday morning and watch those because it
- 13:25Speaker 1: feels like it's, uh, it's nineteen seventy five again
