- 0:09Speaker 1: Tuesdays and it's zactly.
- 0:10Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I'm feeling like it's too It looks
- 0:12Speaker 2: like at Tuesdays. It's the Tuesday edition of the Power Hour.
- 0:15Speaker 2: It is Tuesday. It is a Tuesday edition on six
- 0:17Speaker 2: ten u TV, and I'm chucked upwards. You know who
- 0:19Speaker 2: you are.
- 0:20Speaker 1: We take it from there. We get one hour together,
- 0:21Speaker 1: which means I talk really fast. You must listen even faster.
- 0:25Speaker 1: My number eight two one nine eight eighty six eight
- 0:27Speaker 1: two one WTV in or eight hundred and six y
- 0:30Speaker 1: ten WTV in. Congratulations, Waverley, apparently you can use your
- 0:34Speaker 1: water again. I figured i'd let you know that they
- 0:37Speaker 1: had that do not use it. That wasn't do not drink.
- 0:40Speaker 1: It was like I do not use order, which I've
- 0:44Speaker 1: never seen before. But officials in Waverley apparently have lifted
- 0:48Speaker 1: the do not use order. So again, congratulations. Frankly, I
- 0:53Speaker 1: probably would let it run a bit before I used it.
- 0:55Speaker 1: I'm just saying that's just me, all right. Wake up
- 1:00Speaker 1: this morning. Find out the last night's Columbus City Council
- 1:03Speaker 1: meeting they replaced the departed Shyla Favor Shalla Favor, who
- 1:12Speaker 1: became the Franklin County prosecutor because the voters of Franklin
- 1:16Speaker 1: County cast more votes for her than for her Republican challenger,
- 1:21Speaker 1: John ru Tan. I still think you'll regret that, but
- 1:23Speaker 1: we'll see. I just I'm sorry that the things that
- 1:27Speaker 1: I heard her say prior to the election sounded way
- 1:29Speaker 1: too much like hope and change to me. And I
- 1:34Speaker 1: just I'm I'm worried about what's around the corner in
- 1:36Speaker 1: this uh, this world in which we live where the
- 1:40Speaker 1: law does not seem to matter anymore, and the good
- 1:42Speaker 1: guys are the bad guys, and the bad guys are
- 1:44Speaker 1: the victims. And uh, I'm just I'm not looking forward
- 1:48Speaker 1: to what we get out of there. But she left
- 1:50Speaker 1: Columbus City Council leaving a hole there. And you know,
- 1:55Speaker 1: every time something comes up with counsel and there's any
- 1:58Speaker 1: pushback at all, what do you get from, Well.
- 2:00Speaker 2: You know, we're we're brought partisan down here. It's a
- 2:03Speaker 2: non partisan office. I mean, yes, we have.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Political filations, but we're there's columb City Council non partisan.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Well, then why the hell can't you ever.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Pick a libertarian or a greenee, because you know it
- 2:17Speaker 1: ain't gonna be a Republican. But everybody knew from the
- 2:24Speaker 1: moment Favor was confirmed as a winner in the county prosecutors,
- 2:30Speaker 1: everybody knew it was going to be another Democrat. Most
- 2:34Speaker 1: people probably figured likely non white Democrat. And what did
- 2:38Speaker 1: you get otto Baty the third?
- 2:39Speaker 2: There you go? What is he?
- 2:45Speaker 1: Well, he is a male, he's not a female, so
- 2:47Speaker 1: that's one thing. But he is a legacy liberal, as
- 2:51Speaker 1: I am calling them now, I'm that's my phrase, legacy liberal,
- 2:56Speaker 1: black male stepson of Joyce Baty, and we all know
- 3:00Speaker 1: how much she's loved. And he's just, you know, somebody
- 3:05Speaker 1: else with connections, a family name, little recognition, couple of
- 3:09Speaker 1: phone calls made, and poof, there he is. But the voters,
- 3:17Speaker 1: the people, the public, the media, whoever continues to believe
- 3:20Speaker 1: this line of bs about this is a partisan office
- 3:23Speaker 1: down here, We're just we're not about We're not about partisanship.
- 3:27Speaker 1: We're we're a nonpartisan position. Was shut up? Shut up?
- 3:32Speaker 1: And if if you were so naive that you thought
- 3:37Speaker 1: something other than a Democrat with connections was going to
- 3:42Speaker 1: be named to fill in the seat vacated by favor,
- 3:46Speaker 1: then please consider getting some help going to a rehab.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Drugs are bad. The thing of it is we let
- 3:53Speaker 1: it happen. We meaning everybody who is not a legacy
- 3:59Speaker 1: liberal Democrat in Franklin County, we let it happen. Meaning
- 4:05Speaker 1: any organized party that is not the Democrat Party in
- 4:09Speaker 1: Franklin County, we let it happen. Meeting the citizens of Columbus, Ohio,
- 4:19Speaker 1: Franklin County GOP as I put on my Facebook page today,
- 4:22Speaker 1: as I am saying right here, right now, right straight
- 4:24Speaker 1: to your ears, needs to be right now, right now,
- 4:29Speaker 1: right now, right now, getting candidates together for the next
- 4:33Speaker 1: six years. Don't wait until fifteen minutes before showtime and
- 4:40Speaker 1: try to figure out which shoes to wear. Start working
- 4:43Speaker 1: on it now. Whole public meetings, town hall forums, Q
- 4:49Speaker 1: and A sessions. Gather people together that have some interest
- 4:53Speaker 1: in running. Pick and choose who's viable, who's strong, who
- 4:56Speaker 1: speaks well, who motivates, who initiates, Who is the person
- 5:00Speaker 1: that can capture the room, bring in the votes and
- 5:02Speaker 1: get some victories for somebody other than the Democrat candidate
- 5:07Speaker 1: in Franklin County, Ohio. I mean, come on, it ain't
- 5:09Speaker 1: that hard. Start finding them now, start vetting them now,
- 5:18Speaker 1: start molding them now, and get them ready for the
- 5:23Speaker 1: next six years worth of elections. I don't want one
- 5:26Speaker 1: party rule. I don't want the Republicans running everything. I
- 5:29Speaker 1: don't want the Democrats. I want something that resembles balance,
- 5:38Speaker 1: so that people like me, people like us, don't have
- 5:40Speaker 1: to feel like we are completely outnumbered and unrepresented in
- 5:44Speaker 1: the hollowed halls of ninety West Broad Street. Is that
- 5:46Speaker 1: too much to ask? It's said that all it's necessary
- 5:56Speaker 1: for evil.
- 5:57Speaker 2: To prevail us, for good men to do. Nothing.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Doesn't have to be about good and evil. Sometimes it's
- 6:04Speaker 1: just about smart and stupid. Honestly, there is a wave
- 6:14Speaker 1: going on right now, for better or for worse. There
- 6:19Speaker 1: is a wave going on right now. And if the
- 6:24Speaker 1: Washington folks, the Trump administration continues to move forward, they
- 6:29Speaker 1: do not stumble, they do not fall apart. The possibilities
- 6:34Speaker 1: that are being created by the presidency for the states,
- 6:40Speaker 1: for the counties, for the municipalities.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Are extreme.
- 6:49Speaker 1: But if we let this moment in time go by
- 6:51Speaker 1: without doing something with it, it is our fault. If
- 6:58Speaker 1: six years from now, all the seats in Franklin County
- 7:01Speaker 1: are held by democrats. It is our fault and at
- 7:04Speaker 1: that point, sit down, shut up, or get the hell
- 7:07Speaker 1: out because you did nothing. There is an opportunity before us,
- 7:17Speaker 1: somebody's got to take it.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Or maybe that's just me.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Six one four is the area code eight two one
- 7:24Speaker 1: nine eight eight six eight two one WTV in or
- 7:26Speaker 1: eight hundred and six to ten double EUTV. I don't
- 7:28Speaker 1: got will standing by. I've been here since almost the
- 7:30Speaker 1: beginning with something to say on the subject. Will you're
- 7:32Speaker 1: on six ten double UTVN good inning.
- 7:35Speaker 3: Sure? I have a quick question for you. I thought
- 7:38Speaker 3: you'd be the man to ask. Now Here on the news,
- 7:40Speaker 3: they want to abolish the death penalty, and they said
- 7:44Speaker 3: we are better than that. We're not going to kill.
- 7:47Speaker 3: They got one hundred and nineteen of them on death
- 7:49Speaker 3: row and we feed them. We give him a library, telephone, TV, radio,
- 7:55Speaker 3: Now they have it all and it just to take
- 8:00Speaker 3: about the girl Breagan toaks up on Ice Street. The
- 8:02Speaker 3: guy took her out and killed her, left her out
- 8:05Speaker 3: here and grow sated. Boy, do you believe that they
- 8:07Speaker 3: should not kill you? Tell me that you're I need
- 8:11Speaker 3: you need some phone call? This upset me.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Who are the they in what you saw on television
- 8:16Speaker 1: tonight the state of Ohio.
- 8:18Speaker 3: He said, we're going away with the death death penalty,
- 8:23Speaker 3: and then people make so much an hour fifty cents
- 8:25Speaker 3: or whatever it is. That's our money spending on them people.
- 8:28Speaker 3: And they said they're never going to get out. But still,
- 8:31Speaker 3: what what's your opinion do you think a man that
- 8:33Speaker 3: took another life like Reagan toaks that they should live.
- 8:38Speaker 1: If if you have committed murder beyond the shadow of
- 8:41Speaker 1: a doubt, there's absolutely no doubt in any mind anyone
- 8:44Speaker 1: has anywhere. You absolutely did it. About fifteen minutes after
- 8:49Speaker 1: your conviction. You should get your last meal on a
- 8:51Speaker 1: forty five round to the back of the skull.
- 8:53Speaker 2: We're done.
- 8:54Speaker 3: Thank you, sir. You're though you're the man I just
- 8:58Speaker 3: knew you felt the same way. I hope some people
- 9:00Speaker 3: will call in and protest this. This is awful that
- 9:04Speaker 3: we have to take care of them with our money
- 9:06Speaker 3: and give them everything under the sun that could have
- 9:11Speaker 3: and provide for them. People where they say they're never
- 9:14Speaker 3: going to get out, what good are they? They're never
- 9:17Speaker 3: going to be any good.
- 9:18Speaker 1: If someone that you know, if there's any doubts, sometimes
- 9:22Speaker 1: circumstantial evidence puts.
- 9:23Speaker 2: People in a jail cell. And I'm willing to concede that.
- 9:26Speaker 1: But there are there are enough cases where it's absolute,
- 9:31Speaker 1: it's there's you know, and in those cases, there's absolutely
- 9:35Speaker 1: no point in us wasting our time or resources. That's
- 9:38Speaker 1: you have committed murder. The penalty for murder is death.
- 9:42Speaker 1: And that was one of the first things Donald Trump
- 9:44Speaker 1: did after he was inaugurated is start signing bills that
- 9:47Speaker 1: would allow these states that are using lethal injection to
- 9:51Speaker 1: get access to the to the drugs because the pharmaceutical
- 9:55Speaker 1: manufacturers have been saying, Nope, you can't use our drugs
- 9:58Speaker 1: for that.
- 9:59Speaker 2: And that's where Ohio's been.
- 10:01Speaker 1: But you know, I'm saying, somewhere in a warehouse, old
- 10:03Speaker 1: Sparky is still there.
- 10:04Speaker 2: Man. I'll chip in on the electric bill.
- 10:07Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 10:09Speaker 2: I appreciate you, Will, Thanks for the call, and thanks
- 10:11Speaker 2: for thanks for carre.
- 10:13Speaker 3: I think a lot more now. Thank you.
- 10:14Speaker 1: I appreciate your care. And I'm getting fired up over
- 10:16Speaker 1: something that actually matters. But see, Will, Will's a pro
- 10:20Speaker 1: and I could tell by his voice. Will was an
- 10:22Speaker 1: older guy. He's not necessarily who I expect to step up.
- 10:27Speaker 2: You know, the.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Uh, I'd say the if you are under under sixty
- 10:34Speaker 1: because people, you know, staying in there until you're seventy
- 10:37Speaker 1: five eighty years old now and being a vibrant force
- 10:41Speaker 1: is not out of the question. People are doing that
- 10:43Speaker 1: all the time. Sixty five is not the end of
- 10:47Speaker 1: your road. In twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five, Wow,
- 10:51Speaker 1: we've had another year. But we've got to start. You know,
- 10:55Speaker 1: the sixty and under. The forty and unders would be wonderful.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Motivating the youngsters, the college kids to get involved and
- 11:03Speaker 1: start taking an interest, that's good too, but God bless them,
- 11:07Speaker 1: we don't need them an elected office right now. Okay,
- 11:12Speaker 1: if you're twenty two twenty three years old, just coming
- 11:14Speaker 1: out of college, you can be as conservative as you want,
- 11:17Speaker 1: own as many blue blazers as you want. I don't
- 11:20Speaker 1: care about that. What I care about is getting some
- 11:23Speaker 1: life experience under your belt. So you want to work
- 11:27Speaker 1: for some elected officials, that's great, But I'm not going
- 11:32Speaker 1: to be the first one to rush out and vote
- 11:34Speaker 1: for a twenty two to twenty three year old kid
- 11:37Speaker 1: simply because we're on the same political page. Because you
- 11:41Speaker 1: need life experience. So I'm saying, you know, the mid thirty.
- 11:46Speaker 1: It look kind of like the presidency. You have to
- 11:47Speaker 1: be thirty five to be president of the United States.
- 11:50Speaker 1: That's kind of where I would start because I grew
- 11:53Speaker 1: up significantly between twenty one and thirty different man, from
- 12:00Speaker 1: eighteen to twenty one different man. So yeah, you have
- 12:05Speaker 1: those stages of growth. But about thirty five, I think
- 12:09Speaker 1: I can take you seriously. So thirty five and up.
- 12:13Speaker 1: You people, you're sitting around right now, you're listening, you're
- 12:16Speaker 1: in the car, you're at home, maybe you're making dinner,
- 12:18Speaker 1: maybe you've finished dinner and you're just kicking back and
- 12:22Speaker 1: it's been a day. What's Chuck Gonner screen about? Think
- 12:27Speaker 1: about it? Think about it, think about running, Think about
- 12:35Speaker 1: going downtown to the They're having a Central Committee meeting tonight, which,
- 12:38Speaker 1: by the way, Franklin County GOP advertise put some notices
- 12:43Speaker 1: out there. Use your social media presence to let people
