  Speaker 1: two one WTV And hang on a second, I'm blocking
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: somebody on Facebook here. If you're going to attempt to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: be insulting, you must first be what's the word, Zach?

• 0:23
  Speaker 1: coh h is. Anything can be done, but can it
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: be done? You need to stop posting on social media
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and the NFL office.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Hey he has I don't know who it is. Yeah,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: they're not connected to me on Facebook, just some troll
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and uh and more on coming to the page to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: jump in there.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I always said somebody I remember somebody said something. I
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: was like, I don't mind if you be critical, just
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: be literate.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's okay.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: We could go from there.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, I can't. I can't be insulted by something that
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I can't understand and or respect. Just saying a two
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: one nine eight eight six number eight two one WTV.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm not cutting on an ia. I'm observing and
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: if you can, if you can jump on, hang on
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a second, those videos start playing by themselves. I hate
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: it the speaking of social media there ought to be
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: and that this is something else we want to regulate everything.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: You got to show ID to get on certain websites
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: or or get on certain social media and and all
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: this kind of say here's something we need to do.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Listen closely. If it's AI generated, there should be a
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: required banner on it, purely, plainly, obviously visible to anyone
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: looking at the video. How's that? Any arguments you want
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: to argue about that one?
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: No, I don't have any disagreement with.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: You, Okay, I'm just I'm just saying, look, there's too
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: many things out there that are innocuous in nature. But
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you see them and go, oh wow, isn't that amazing?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: The dog jumping to keep the baby from running out
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the door, the horse sheltering the woman in the earth quake,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and you're thinking this, this is great. I mean, you know,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the chihuahua with the remote eating a slice of pizza
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: is fake, that's said. But those ones that could be
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: real and are not real, that we should know that
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: that is fake.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: The amount of people who get fooled by AI pictures,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: especially if it's political, just because they want to believe it.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: It's astounding.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, there are Facebook groups full of people or Facebook
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: groups that are literally dedicated to making fun of people
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: who get fooled by AI stuff.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And I'm saying if there should be a requirement, just
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: like you know with the do not Call list that
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: they don't enforce, where you could be fined up to
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars if we continue to call somebody who
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: has put on the do not Call list. That's what
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: it's supposed to be. At least, if you are responsible
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: for posting AI videos without obvious notation that it is
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: an AI generated video, then you should be subject to fines.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: The guy who made a joke about Democrats voting on
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Wednesday instead of Tuesday Hillary Clinton was running, he did
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: jail time. If that offense gets you jail time, what
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: should you know? People who have family members serving right
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: now in our military, they get on Facebook and they
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: see a US Navy ship with a bomb hitting the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: flight deck on an aircraft carrier, and you've got a
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: kid on an aircraft carrier. That's not right, man, that's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: not right, because you've thrown them into a paddic because
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you don't disclose up front that I'm just playing with
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: my computer and this isn't real. I'm just saying anyway.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Also on the McCoy Park thing I posted on Facebook earlier,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: see I love you guys, mean it, but you gotta
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: read stuff. The last thing that I posted, I don't know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Zach if you've been on the page this afternoon or not,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: but I said, you just gave them a hundred million dollars.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: But the thumbnail, which is the picture that accompanies the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: story that I posted, the thumbnail says McCoy. That's because
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: McCoy Park is in discussion right now in the city
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: spending twenty five million dollars. The story, however, is about
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Columbus City Schools and the more than four hundred positions
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: that they are going to eliminate while the city is saying,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: let's spend money on a soccer team. They're gonna But
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the thing of it is is you just voted, what
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: was it two years ago, a year and a half ago,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you just voted to give Columbus City Schools one hundred
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: million dollars and then they said, well, this isn't going
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to be used.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: For any new stuff. This is going to be Those
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: are just to maintain what we're doing. We needed one
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: hundred million dollars to just do still do what we're doing.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: By the way, we're closing schools, but before we close them,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: we're going to invest in rebuilding playgrounds and putting a
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: new equipment out there. Then we're going to close them.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Makes sense.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: So after putting one hundred million dollars into the school
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: system within the last couple of years, now they're telling about, well,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: we got to get rid of over four hundred positions,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and they're grousing that the city of Columbus is looking
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: at spending money on a soccer team, a women's soccer team,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a women's soccer team facility. They're griping about that while
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: they're losing four hundred some positions. I would be griping
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: about the fact we just gave you one hundred million
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: dollars expecting you to do stuff, and then you said
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you're not doing stuff, you're just maintaining stuff. And now look,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: low and behold. That is both low and behold. Don't
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: do one without the other people. That's dangerous. Low and behold,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you're maintaining the status quo by cutting over four hundred positions.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Well that's not maintaining, is it. You got the people
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of this city, not me, because I'm not stupid, but
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you got the people of this city to vote in
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the affirmative to one hundred million dollars. And then you're
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: closing schools and eliminating jobs, hundreds of jobs, much like
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: city council, school board. Two out of here, start over, fresh,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: palette man fresh. And again I'm not being partisan. I'm
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: not saying elect Republicans to these although a few wouldn't hurt.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: For gosh sakes, you go find an elected Republican in
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Franklin County. You can't do it. So electing a few Republicans, libertarians,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: something other than Democrats to some positions that would be
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: quite nice, very refreshing, and probably more productive than the
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: crapola that we're getting now. But seriously, people, city council,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: mayor school board, if you are impressed, if you if seriously,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: forget the politics, forget the d's and the rs, forget that,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: just look at what is happening and not happening and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: how it's happening, and ask yourself, am I pleased. Am
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I satisfied as a citizen of this city, of this county?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Do I feel as though those deductions from my paycheck
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: are benefiting my fellow man? Because that's why we pay taxes,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: is to run government, to take care of the people
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: around us, in the world around us, and the roads
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: around us. That's what we pay for. Look around and
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: ask yourself, honestly, are you satisfied with what you're seeing?
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Are you satisfied with promises being platantly made and then
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: platantly broken because somebody waved money under somebody's nose. Are
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: you satisfied with being told one thing when something completely
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: different is happening. Are you satisfied with attendance? Are you
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: satisfied with academics when it comes to the school system?
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Are you satisfied forget the politics and look at what
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you are getting. You're satisfied, then God bless you. If
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: you're not do something. Run support people who run, Go out,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: knock on doors for people who run, Get involved, Be loud,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: make noise, be seen, be heard, because they get away
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: with this assuming nobody's gonna care, and it's just the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: South side, nobody's gonna care. Show them you care by
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: getting rid of them and bringing bringing people into those
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: positions that'll be responsive to you or as always, maybe
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: that's just me A two one nine eight eighty six. Jason,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: you are on the Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone line.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Hight Oh, it's Jacob, but okay, all right, but always do.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: As far as the old Clippers Stadium that the previous
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: gentleman mentioned there, you know, there's some other potential property issues.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Again consider that, as you know you're in real estate.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: There's a shelter that's not that far away, just on
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: the other side of the cemetery, and then over there
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: there's also the Franklin County Crisis Center. South of there
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: is also a psychiatric hospital, and then there's also the
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: State hospital there at Harmon and for the State Medical
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: prison there at frank and Harmon. And yeah, I have
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: to consider that as far as if you're trying to
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: bring in families and get people to utilize that space
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: at the old Whippers Stadium for something that would be
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: very attractive potentially for a number of folks on what
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: the surrounding area is.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Well, Jacob, those things have been there for a long time,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: with the exception of the stuff that they tore down
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: all the Solivant gardens. Housing said, oh, it's dangerous, we
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: can't it's a floodplain. We can't have anything here. Kick
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: all those people out of their apartments, get them out
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: of here, tear it down. Now, let's build a business park.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, how come a business park is okay?
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: And all those people got kicked out of their apartments,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: given hood vouchers and ended up living next door to you.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what they did. They gave them vouchers
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and sent them out into the communities, and all the
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: problems they had in solvent gardens suddenly started showing up
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: in the communities. And they wonder why, because you put
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: them there. That's why you still got cannon by at
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: all those apartments back there. You know, there's plenty of
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: people living back there. Some are problems, some are decent people.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: But yeah, there are a lot of decent people down there.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, everything with the exception of the business park,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: has been there the whole time, and some things are
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: gone used to be there. But they talked about a racetrack.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: They've talked about, you know, the experimental facilities for automotives
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and so forth. It's all you know, nothing's ever happened,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: and I think people right now are just kind of
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: tired of seeing nothing happening. It's county property. We're paying
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: for this, We're paying it for doing nothing. And if
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: you're going to tear down something that people are actually
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: utilizing and looking forward to on the south side, why
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: not build up something people are anticipating, waiting for, and
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: hoping for on the south side. I know Cooper Stadium
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: is southwest, but it's really just around the corner from
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: McCoy Park. With a good slingshot, I might be able
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: to hit one from the other music's playing. That means
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: it is time for me to fly. I will not
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: be on with Mark tomorrow or Wednesday or Thursday because
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I'm in for Mike doing Columbus Morning News all three days. Yes,
• 11:50
