Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Chuck Douglass in The Power Hour on six ten double
- 0:02Speaker 1: UTV in A two one nine eight eight six my
- 0:04Speaker 1: number eight two one WUTV and eight hundred to six
- 0:07Speaker 1: to ten double UTV and works as well, although I
- 0:08Speaker 1: don't know why we still have that number. Quite frankly,
- 0:11Speaker 1: there's nothing. There's no such thing as long distance anymore.
- 0:16Speaker 1: If you've got a cell phone, as like most people do,
- 0:19Speaker 1: there's no longer you can call from anywhere, and the
- 0:22Speaker 1: six one four one nine eight eighty six is just
- 0:24Speaker 1: going to be a call. It's not going to be
- 0:26Speaker 1: it doesn't cost you anymore. I have no idea why
- 0:29Speaker 1: we have the eight number. Anyway. We're talking about the daycare,
- 0:32Speaker 1: the daycare fiasco, the uh, the the guy, the Shirley Kid,
- 0:37Speaker 1: the twenty three year old Shirley Kid. I give kudos
- 0:39Speaker 1: to him because he called something to the attention of
- 0:41Speaker 1: the American public and the American media most especially that
- 0:45Speaker 1: needed to get some attention. And yes, I absolutely do
- 0:48Speaker 1: believe that we probably have this same problem here in
- 0:52Speaker 1: Central Ohio that he was showing in Saint Paul and Minneapolis,
- 0:55Speaker 1: or Minneapolis Saint Paul if you prefer to do it.
- 0:57Speaker 1: The other way, the population of some all these is
- 1:01Speaker 1: number one in the country there, it's number two here.
- 1:03Speaker 1: And and if indeed there are you know, illegally funded
- 1:09Speaker 1: to illegitimately run nonexistent daycare centers that are sucking down
- 1:15Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars, the people who are taking those dollars should
- 1:19Speaker 1: be punished to the full extent of the law. Those
- 1:21Speaker 1: dollars should no longer go there, obviously, And there are
- 1:24Speaker 1: appropriate state agencies and governing powers that should oversee this, investigated,
- 1:28Speaker 1: enforce it, and deal with it. Not the guy across
- 1:31Speaker 1: the street. And this is where we're going. Everybody wants
- 1:34Speaker 1: to ride the Shirley horse. They want to be like him. No,
- 1:37Speaker 1: because you're gonna get hurt. Trying to bust in to
- 1:42Speaker 1: daycare centers, as we have seen on social media in
- 1:44Speaker 1: the past few days, is going to get somebody hurt.
- 1:47Speaker 1: And you know, some of these people that they have aspirations,
- 1:51Speaker 1: if you will, And I'm not saying anything bad about them.
- 1:53Speaker 1: I'm just saying that I disagree with their methods, not
- 1:55Speaker 1: their goal, but their methods. I don't care how how
- 2:00Speaker 1: prominent you are, I don't care. You know, if you're
- 2:02Speaker 1: a citizen, a taxpayer, and you know, and you know
- 2:05Speaker 1: you pull you can throw a perfect three pointer. I
- 2:08Speaker 1: don't care. You don't have the right to just boguart
- 2:12Speaker 1: your way into some daycare center and decide you're gonna
- 2:14Speaker 1: video what's in there, who's in there, and what's going on.
- 2:19Speaker 1: You are putting yourself in jeopardy and you're doing the
- 2:22Speaker 1: right thing the wrong way from the public street. You
- 2:27Speaker 1: can video all you want, but you do not have
- 2:30Speaker 1: the right to bust in those doors and say I'm
- 2:31Speaker 1: here to get prof bet out. No, you don't. There
- 2:35Speaker 1: are government agencies that handle that. A two ninety eight
- 2:38Speaker 1: six number. Jeff, you're on six ten double ETV and hi.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Hi, Yeah, you're you're spot on with the somebody's gonna
- 2:46Speaker 2: get hurt with us. I'm a fraud investigator here in Columbus, Ohio.
- 2:52Speaker 2: I've been doing it for like thirty five years, and
- 2:55Speaker 2: I just wish people would have the same enthusiasm to
- 2:58Speaker 2: go back and look at all of the PPP and
- 3:02Speaker 2: E I d L money during COVID. The people don't
- 3:05Speaker 2: understand probably close to two hundred billion dollars of that
- 3:08Speaker 2: money was was lost to fraud. Oh yeah, and that's
- 3:12Speaker 2: that's still unwinding in the court system as we speak.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Jeff, you know, one of our biggest problems, frankly, is
- 3:17Speaker 1: the fact that most Americans, most humans in general, they
- 3:21Speaker 1: don't grasp the cons the the what's the word I'm
- 3:25Speaker 1: looking for the real meaning of the word billion or trillion?
- 3:29Speaker 2: Correct?
- 3:29Speaker 1: They don't get how many dollars just disappeared in the
- 3:35Speaker 1: name of COVID funding or PPP funding, or or grants
- 3:39Speaker 1: to keep your business alive for those eighty employees you
- 3:42Speaker 1: don't have, but claim to the money was just thrown
- 3:45Speaker 1: at people. Nobody investigated, verified, confirmed anything, and and we
- 3:51Speaker 1: just we didn't even blink.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Correct. Yeah, And they're they're doing on the back end. Unfortunately,
- 3:56Speaker 2: it's very slow. It takes years for the investigation and
- 4:00Speaker 2: the occasional prosecutions to happen. But there are there are
- 4:06Speaker 2: plenty of websites out there. I encourage people to go
- 4:08Speaker 2: out and look at the DOJ their Department of Justice
- 4:12Speaker 2: press releases for either here in Ohio or just nationally
- 4:16Speaker 2: related to COVID and PPP and e I d L fraud,
- 4:20Speaker 2: because there are some prosecutorial actions that have taken place
- 4:24Speaker 2: from much more money than what we're talking about with
- 4:26Speaker 2: these Smay daycares. It's it's amazing. There's there are websites
- 4:32Speaker 2: run by law firms that you can go and put
- 4:35Speaker 2: in your zip code and you can look at all
- 4:37Speaker 2: these different LLCs, including daycare, shipping companies, things of that nature.
- 4:43Speaker 2: Here in Columbus or east side, west side. You can
- 4:46Speaker 2: you can look at by name and by who the
- 4:49Speaker 2: company was registered to, how much money they got, and
- 4:53Speaker 2: when that money was forgiven. So there's a lot of
- 4:55Speaker 2: that money and they can't The problem is they can't
- 4:58Speaker 2: prosecute everyone. They just have to make an example out
- 5:02Speaker 2: of a few people, and they typically go after the
- 5:05Speaker 2: higher dollar amounts that people have stolen. I know, I'm
- 5:10Speaker 2: on the East side Columbus. One particular phantom LLC shipping
- 5:14Speaker 2: company or trucking company. I had over nine million dollars
- 5:18Speaker 2: in PPP or EIDL loans that was forgiven and they
- 5:22Speaker 2: made an example out of this person. But yeah, that's
- 5:26Speaker 2: the whole way the justice system works.
- 5:28Speaker 1: You say they can't prosecute everyone, but just remember they
- 5:31Speaker 1: said you can't deport everybody. They said those businesses aren't
- 5:34Speaker 1: coming back. This man seems to have some kind of
- 5:36Speaker 1: magic wand we don't know about Barack, so I don't
- 5:42Speaker 1: say they can't. And I will tell you my friend,
- 5:44Speaker 1: as as somebody who does this professionally. If ever you
- 5:47Speaker 1: run across something that needs attention and you need to
- 5:51Speaker 1: communicate it, you just hit me on the social media
- 5:54Speaker 1: or the email. I will never ever throw you under
- 5:55Speaker 1: the bus. But if we need to know about it,
- 5:57Speaker 1: let me know and I'll make sure we do.
- 5:59Speaker 2: Yeah. Keep fighting a good fight and justice for all,
- 6:04Speaker 2: no matter of race. Amen, there's plenty of scumbag white
- 6:08Speaker 2: people and other races that have that have stolen.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Oh yes, And the beauty of this is if they
- 6:13Speaker 1: really start a fall full scale investigation. I guarantee you
- 6:16Speaker 1: there's some pure Americs and gangsters out there that are
- 6:19Speaker 1: doing the same things. So let's roll into there.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Sure, I roll them all up.
- 6:23Speaker 1: I appreciate you, Jeff. Take care of yourself, buddy. Eight
- 6:25Speaker 1: two one, nine, eight eighty six is my number. Time
- 6:27Speaker 1: you were on six nable U TV and high there.
- 6:32Speaker 3: I am all about what you're doing, and I'm all
- 6:35Speaker 3: about them wrapping them guys up. Over on the West side,
- 6:40Speaker 3: those big, big care centers have been running rampant on
- 6:44Speaker 3: Sullivan Avenue, Georgisville Road West Bront Street for years, and
- 6:50Speaker 3: I've always said that one of these dudes, probably something bad,
- 6:56Speaker 3: like a bomb is going to come out on one
- 6:59Speaker 3: of those police. Hope. I don't know why.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Yeah, I would hope that that doesn't happen.
- 7:06Speaker 3: Oh, I would too. But we're letting people that hate
- 7:10Speaker 3: our guts come in here and take our money, and
- 7:17Speaker 3: most of them are are known terrorists. I mean, why
- 7:21Speaker 3: are why is Andrew Ginther sitting on his can doing
- 7:26Speaker 3: nothing but supporting the people that are protesting Plan Security
- 7:33Speaker 3: and ICE be in here?
- 7:34Speaker 1: You know, I was just I was just thinking before
- 7:37Speaker 1: Mark left the building, we've got looking over the stuff
- 7:39Speaker 1: that's going on in Minneapolis. I said, you know, it's
- 7:42Speaker 1: been a couple of hours in Ginther and Columbus City
- 7:44Speaker 1: Council haven't issued any statements about Minneapolis yet. That's kind
- 7:47Speaker 1: of unusual.
- 7:49Speaker 3: Absolutely, I'll tell you, I'll tell you one more thing.
- 7:52Speaker 3: I love you guys to death. I think you guys
- 7:55Speaker 3: do a great job. But the state of Iop you're
- 7:58Speaker 3: of unemployment is off the chain. The wait time to
- 8:04Speaker 3: file an unemployment claim is seventeen fifty minutes.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Oh my, God, I'm calling.
- 8:10Speaker 3: And they're still working from home. How's that happen?
- 8:13Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's something Tom. As a matter of fact,
- 8:15Speaker 1: I had somebody probably about two weeks that was no,
- 8:18Speaker 1: it was right before Christmas. Actually had a conversation with
- 8:21Speaker 1: somebody that has to deal with unemployment and job and
- 8:24Speaker 1: family services. And they tell me it's it's the people
- 8:27Speaker 1: are still working from home and it's still like a
- 8:28Speaker 1: four or five hour wait on hold to talk to somebody.
- 8:33Speaker 1: And they say they get hung up on a lot
- 8:34Speaker 1: of times. Old they wait and then the thing just
- 8:37Speaker 1: goes dead.
- 8:39Speaker 3: Yes, please put the heat on them, because it's way
- 8:42Speaker 3: worse than that. Colin acts like you're trying to file
- 8:47Speaker 3: ad unapployment and see what your weight time is. This
- 8:52Speaker 3: is criminal.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if I keep if I keep
- 8:55Speaker 1: on ruffling feathers, I might need to call up there
- 8:57Speaker 1: and do it for real. I don't know.
- 9:01Speaker 3: I think you need to run for mayor.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Columbus would never be the same if
- 9:06Speaker 1: I did that. But I appreciate your faith in me,
- 9:08Speaker 1: thanks very much. Would I be good at it? Yeah,
- 9:13Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't know that I at this
- 9:15Speaker 1: stage of my life and seeing the way politics has changed.
- 9:18Speaker 1: There's no such thing as pure politics anymore. There's no
- 9:20Speaker 1: such thing as as serving your community, your fellow citizens anymore,
- 9:25Speaker 1: and just going in to do the best job you
- 9:27Speaker 1: can and then getting out of the way. For the
- 9:29Speaker 1: next generation, it's all about you know who owes you
- 9:32Speaker 1: and who you owe and how many funds you can
- 9:34Speaker 1: raise and blah blah blah blah blah. Doing the right
- 9:37Speaker 1: thing for the right reasons is no longer in vogue,
- 9:40Speaker 1: so I don't know that i'd fit in those circles anymore.
