  Speaker 1: Greeting salitations and welcome my friends to another edition of
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the Power Hour. I'm chugged unless you allegedly know who
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: you are. We take it from there. We get one
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: hour together, which means I talk really fast and you
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: must listen even faster. The number eight two one nine
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: eight eighty six eight two one DOUBLETVN or eight hundred
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and sixty ten dou WTV. And I'm gonna coach while
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: we're on the air here because I didn't pay any
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: attention to the fact somebody for some reason unplugged the headphones.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Not mine. Mine are here, but Zach's coming in. Zach,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: can you help our guest over here? Somebody unplugged his headphones.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: He's like, well, there's nothing coming out. Of course, there's
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: nothing coming out. It's like a government program. It's there,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: but it's meaningless until it's connected the way it's supposed
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: to be. Now, you should have a little up volume
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: adjustment thing over there so it doesn't blow your ears
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: off the side of your head. And uh, now he's
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: going to go back over in that room and push
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: his buttons, which will allow you to actually be on
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the air with me. The you that I'm talking to
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: by the way, way is the man who has the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: audacity and you may not. I've complained actually on the
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: air about him because I'm like, dude's like invisible. I
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: haven't heard about him till just now. His name's Michael Young.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: He is running against Joyce Batty. I'm sorry, And isn't
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: that how you're supposed to say? Is zach? Isn't that
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I've changed the hope of what was what could be
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: unburdened by saying it regularly or something like that. Yeah,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: So anyway, Yeah, Joyce Baty, who's been in office since
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: what the year is seven? Something like that, And and
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: so Michael Young says that's enough of that, and he's
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: running against her. And Michael Young, welcome to the studio.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Hi, Hey, thank you a lot, Chuck. You know, I
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: used to listen to you before on a previous radio station,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: and you're a very well received and loved individual in
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: this community.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: People who admit openly to listening to me for any
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: period of time are automatically doubted by the saying among us,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I'm just I'm mourning you. You don't want to, you
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: don't want to make that claim, and you running against
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: choice Baty which some people may not think is the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: greatest possible move either. But you don't think that she
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: is an unbeatable force in the political arena.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Well, look, I know Joyce has been in for quite
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: a long time, like five or six different terms, maybe
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: a little longer. But anyway, you know, I think I
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: have a way of getting things done. I have a
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: lot of experience. I've been in real estate business and
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: development for thirty five years, been in oil and gas production,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: been involved in the community and lots of roles, even
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: set on the board of the Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: And so I've been in the real estate industry like
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: a long time, and I know a lot about this
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: and I've helped other people in other campaigns, you know.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: But we need to make a change here. You know.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I am for everyone in this district, Congressional District three,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: not just the Republicans, not just the Democrats, not just
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: a non affiliated but everyone. And we have a problem
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: with our federal government. One of our problems we have,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: of course, is you know, we haven't shut down our
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: southern border yet it appears yet it was so simple
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: all Joe Biden had to do if he wanted to
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: lift the restrictions put in by Donald Trump is to
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: put our military down there in the border if our
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: border guards were being you know, overrun and overcome. It's
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: so simple to do. We need any bills in Congress.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: We didn't need any of that. That's one of the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: main things that you know, I will be involved in.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: We have to stop that. We also have to stop
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: this thing where any president could go around issuing executive
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: orders to do something that they want to get done,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: but that maybe the Congress doesn't want to do. This
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: country needs to be run by the Congress. The executive
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: branch should only be carrying out what the Congress passes
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: or doesn't pass, except in some key areas where maybe
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: executive orders because of ourational defense or other like hurricanes
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: and things that we need to address on an immediate basis,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: but then only for a period of like sixty to
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: ninety days, where the Congress has to go and approve
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: that measure.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: What happened to that old school train of thought and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: practice that you know, the House controls the purse first
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: of all, which isn't the case anymore. I mean, we've
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: watched with the Biden administration and to some extent. Quite frankly,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration president wants the money, sign this executive
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: order that billion dollars into what happened to Congress controlling
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the per strings. I would think that that would be
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: more important to members of Congress.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I agree with you one hundred percent. The problem is
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: they passed too many bills and too much legislation where
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: they set up these funds that can be used almost
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: indiscriminately by an administration. Otherwise, Oh, we're going to take
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: you three billion dollars out of this fund and do
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: this with it, or we're going to take this money
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: out of here. No, No, we got to get realistic here.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: We need to Congress that when they passed legislation and
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: they delve out money, that it is down to a
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: real accounting, principal situation where we can show where this
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: money is gone and if it wants to be used
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: somewhere else, there has to be a special legislation by
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the Congress to allow this. We need to get control
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: of this, and I mean, otherwise we're not going to
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: have the country anymore.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: The man you're listening to right now, by the way,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: if he just jumped in here, Michael Young, he is
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: running for the Ohio or not the the Ohio third
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: congressional seat to replace Joyce Baby, which you know some
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: people think is just crazy, that's nuts, You're not going
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to be here. I'm proud that somebody's stepping up. How
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: many times have I said it, quick, gripe and then
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: do something. And he's chosen to do something. He's looking
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: for your support. And because I did not know about
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: him until I said something a few weeks ago that
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I was just hearing of him, I thought it important
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: here on this final night of voter registration, that you
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: know who he is. Early voting start. It's tomorrow in
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the state of Ohio. You have until tonight at nine
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: pm to get yourself registered. I think I'm registered. If
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you think you're registered, you're probably not. You're lazy but
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: hasn't been to the post. You can go to my
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Facebook page right now. I put a link up there
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: where you can click the link, put in your and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: ask for your name and your birth gear and the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: street number to your house. It will tell you if
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: you're registered to vote or not. And if you are not,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you have until nine o'clock tonight to fix that. This
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: year is dreadfully important. Early voting dreadfully important as well.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get into that in the second half
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: of the show. I know that you know you talk
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: about the borders. That's a big issue, that's at the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: top of your list. That is your first amendment to
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: your campaign material. Really, yes, what as a freshman member
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: of the House, what could you do? What could you
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: instigate that might have some momentum where you think other
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: members might get behind you say Okay, this new guy's
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: get onto something here.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Well, obviously I would try to make my voice known
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: and to get in with the House leadership to show
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: that hey, I'm not your little novice here that doesn't
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: know anything about legislation, about laws, about how the country
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: has run. And you know, I don't need to be
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: schooled too much about bringing my talents to bear here.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: And maybe I could get appointed to one of the
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: important committees that could help do this. And that's what
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I would really work hard on.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: What scares me most about you is the fact that,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: just as we were talking before we went on the air,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: we are so similar in so many ways our experiences.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I encouraged you to say something that you said, I
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: just don't want to do that guy. So so I'm
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: going to say it for you if you don't say it.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows I've been in real estate since two thousand
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and three. It's what I do when I'm not in here,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: is sharing time with you. There was a time up
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: until I believe it was in nineteen sixty nine, when
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: black people could not be members at the Columbus Board
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: of Realtors. They just on paper, were not allowed. Just
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: wasn't happening. There was an organization out there called Realtists,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: which essentially were the black real estate agents in Columbus, Ohio.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: They did not have access to the Multiple Listing Service
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the MLS. They weren't able to put their homes in there.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: They weren't able to see what homes other people might
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: have in there who were non you know, the white people, basically,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and that was just ridiculous. And I'm impressed with your story,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and the fact that you won't share it probably impresses
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: me even more because everybody uses everything they can, especially
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: when it comes to race, to manipulate the minds of
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the voters, of the public, of their neighbors. But you
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: did something in the early mid seventies that quite frankly,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: not a lot of white people, not just realtors, but
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: not a white people might have done on behalf of
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: a Central Ohio black real estate agent. I just I'm
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: proud of you for doing it, and I'm impressed by
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: you for not wanting to wave your flag. But you
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: know the race angle is going to be used against
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: you at every turn. So I'm encouraging you to tell
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: that story as you know, as quick as you are
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: comfortable telling it.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: But just to make your point, well, you have to realize,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: first of all, you know, I'm raised by a good,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: good family. We went to Catholic schools. We were taught
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: to accept everyone. I don't care what their race, religion.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Creed was. I played football in grade school, high school,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: and even freshman one time up at Ohio State. But
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of my friends African American people, and we
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: best buddies. Whoever year. We had some great football teams
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: in high school. But anyway, you know, when in real
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: estate back in the seventies, we had a co op
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: deal with Harris Realty, Ray Harris being the broker, and
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I asked, Ray, Ray, don't you want to be in
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: multiple listing because I see this listing that we have
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: a co op on. It's not in the system. He said, oh, Mike,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not in the Border Realders because they you know,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I could never get in there and said why not? Well,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: because of my color? I said, Ray, do you think
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: I would be a member of this organization if I
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: would go along as such a thing? I said, do
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: you you want to join the Border Reealners? I would
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: really like to. He said, hey, good. The next week
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I had the application in front of him, he signed it,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: went in, got approved the course, and after that a
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: lot of other brokers of African American blood came into
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the Border Reealners and you know it was a done deal.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: But you know the thing is, I'm so tired of
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: this racism thing. You don't even know. Look, we're all
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: in this together.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: That's a beautiful thing too, the fact that it doesn't
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: matter to you, because it does not matter to me.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: But like I say, it's going to be used against you.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: You because the large chunk of what you're trying to
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: get in the third district is African American voters and
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: they need to know that. You know, you're not just
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: some white guy that doesn't care one way.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Look, I've had a lot of experience in the real
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: estate business and construction of people that work for us,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: people work in our company, some of my best friends,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: et cetera. I don't have this thing about color, because look,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: when they talk about color, we're all a piece of
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: a color. I just happened to be a little more
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: white than somebody else.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Look, I said this off the ar two. For those
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: of us that are old and we remember older performers.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: There was a comedian once, John Binder, and I swear
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: it looked like John Binder. It's really freaky how much
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: you look like him.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been told that before. And John Binder he
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: was a pretty special talent.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, he was odd and odd was good back then.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: John Binder Jonathan Wintersey both had that kind of weird,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: just left of center mentality. Where do we find out
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: more about you? People who potentially you know, they live
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: in the district, They want to consider voting for you,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: They want to know more about you.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you want to know a lot about me,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: go to our website. Website is called Young for Congress
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: dot us, and that has a lot of the information
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: on it about myself, about the things which I feel
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: are important in our government that need to be taken
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: care of in Congress. And about my resume in terms
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: of my background and real estate development, legal issues, oil
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: and gas, music, et cetera. So I have a pretty bad,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: pretty broad background. So I think I can do the
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: job in Congress. And believe me, I'm there for all
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: the people. I want to, you know, stop this government,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: this federal government, of them being involved in every little
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: aspect of our lives. It's gotten way too big and
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: we need to do some cutting work here to get
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: out of things that federal government should not be involved in.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: From all the little media talks that you've done, and
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: and so forth, and trying to prepare for this race,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: is there anything nobody's asked you that you wish somebody
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: would ask you because you want to make sure you
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: get it out there.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Well, I haven't been asked much about, you know, aid
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: for Ukraine. I'm one hundred percent behind aid for Ukraine
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: in clearly, even military aid. If we would have gotten
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: together with our NATO allies back when this invasion started,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: you know, there wouldn't be any invasion anymore. We could
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: take care of Putin and the Russian invasion quite nicely.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: We're three times as powerful with our NATO allies as
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Russia will ever be. I've been to Ukraine five times.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I know the people there. I have family relatives. My
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: son is half Ukraine, his mother's Ukrainian, etc. So I
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: have contact with them all the time. And I've been
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: to Russia several times, so I have a pretty good
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: basic knowledge of what's going on here, and we need
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: to give them the help they need and to push
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: back against this invasion.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: All right, sir, I appreciate your time today. I hope
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: we've done a little something to draw some attention to
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: who you are, what you stand for, and maybe get
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: some people to visit Young Forcongress dot US and learn
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: some more and voting your favor coming November fifth or
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: early if they have any sense.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I appreciate Chuck, and I really appreciate it me on
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: your show because you've always been one of the guys
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I've been looking up to in radio for a long
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: long time.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: See you're demeaning yourself again. If he likes that, Chuck guy,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I can't vote for it. Oh, by the way, before
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: you get out of here, I just want real quick
• 13:53

• 13:56

• 14:00

• 14:10
  Speaker 1: And I call him that because it's not just a band,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: it's it's up. It's kind of an experience. If you
