  Speaker 1: Chuck Douginson for the Power Hour six ten leuvel on
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: the u TV and twenty two minutes away in the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: top of the hour, I was just talking about the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: fact that, you know, when Allison was talking about the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: state troopers, state Highway troll doing the inspections on the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: school buses around the state of Ohio before school starts,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: it just occurred to me how very little use we
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: have for school buses. And you know, people automatically, well,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: if you get rid of the school buses, then you
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: get rid of the drivers, and that means unemployment. How
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: many times do we have to hear we have trouble
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: getting school bus drivers. So it's not you know, they
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: have trouble getting school bus drivers anyway, So it's not
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: like we're going to be laying off a whole bunch
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: of people. But we're forty million dollars over budget on
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: healthcare cost for the school system. They get one hundred
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: mili from you in a levee and then don't do
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: anything for it, and then come back and say, we
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: are forty million over in healthcare. And by the way,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: we got another fifty million dollar deficit. By the way,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: academically we stink, but pay no attention to that part.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Just give us more money, I say, get rid of
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the buses. That's the first step I want to see.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I want to see some practical momentum toward things that
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: stop wasting money before I would ever agree to even
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: listen to a request for more money. Get rid of
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the buses. Let kids go to their neighborhood schools. Sell
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the blasted radio station that does not teach kids, does
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: not instruct kids, does not prepare kids for any media work.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: It's just there and it's running a lot of NPR stuff.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: You can get that from WOSU. You don't need Columbus
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Board of Education to have a radio station pointless. Get
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: rid of it. Buses and radio station. Boom, Bet you're
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: in the black immediately A two, one nine, eight, eight
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: sixty If you're on six ten DOULEUTV and how you doing?
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Hey? Pretty good, Chuck. Good listening to your show from
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: a fellow Westsider. Used to live on.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Belvedere, So did I Where would you live?
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: One O three right there at the end of Floral.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: One oath I know, one O three, Yeah, I carry
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: newspapers on that whole street. When I was a kid.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't grow up there, but I lived there
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: for a.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Couple of years, and you were just Caddy corner from
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Bellman's Market.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Yep, yep, yep. So the school buses, I'm against the
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: busing also, But a more current problem that I see
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: is the craziness of the actual bus drivers. I drive
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: surface roads all the way to work, about thirteen miles
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: from my home out here in the burbs of the
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: West Side. But I watched these guys run through red lights.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Usually there's women drivers and then drivers. But they run
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: through red lights, they go through stop signs, they speed,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: they tailgate, and the only reason that they're not in
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: accidents is because their vehicle was so much bigger than
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the rest of us. We just get out of their way.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I'll hang up and listen to you. What you have
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: to say about that.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, I appreciate it. Yeah, bus drivers are like
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: every other job out there, coming to question. I'm not
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: specific about you know, specifically school bus drivers, but you
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: know what cab drivers, uber drivers, anybody behind the wheel
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: of anything, even if it's their own vehicle, should be
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: should be sane. And a lot of times you have
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to wonder a lot of times you have to wonder,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and not just because their driving, but some of the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: things they say do, some of the things they enforce.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: When a kid gets in trouble on a bus, it's
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: hard to believe that they get in trouble because you
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: watch the entire bus out of their seats, jumping around,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: screaming and everything. And then your kid gets in trouble.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: How did my kid get in trouble? You got a
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of crazy crap going on on that bus
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: you pull up when my kid gets on the bus,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and my kid was the bad one. I don't know
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: what their standards are. Are we playing favorites? I'm not sure.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I just know that before busses and before busing, when
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Andy told the guy we got a woodshed out back,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: we were better. We were better. This is why I
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: live in the past so very often I get, you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: made fun of, even by people who allegedly love me,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Mike Queen, because man, that's so nineteen eighties. Yes it is.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: We were better. We were better. I say, if something
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: isn't working and you've tried it fifteen different ways and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it isn't working after decade of it isn't working. Why
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the hell so difficult to say we better go back
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to what was working. You wouldn't think it would take
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that much of a discussion. There should be some uniform agreement. Yeah,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: this that was actually working, we should probably go back
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to it. Or maybe that's just me A two one
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: nine eight eighty six. Kevin, you are in the Legacy
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Retirement Group dot com fohone Mineeshy.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Hello, Chuck. Hey.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: You know, we talk about the schools, and nobody really
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: talks a lot about the parents. The parents are the
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: ones that need to help teach the kids. You know why,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: why are all the suburb kids better taught than the
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: inner city.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Kids, Because the inner city kids are in a system
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: that has spent the last fifty years telling parents how
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: unnecessary they are. Everything they do or say is wrong.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Turn your kids over to the schools. We know what's best.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Don't question what we teach them, what we feed them,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: don't question what we want them to do at home.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: We are in control. That's the mentality that these people
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: have had for half a century now. The people in
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the suburban districts that went to Arlington, went to Dublin,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: went to Pow They got the hell out of there
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: because they recognized the evil when they saw it, and
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: they brought up their kids in that district, and their
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: kids bring up their kids in that district. They were
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: smart enough to escape. That's what it comes down to.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Nope, I agree. So, I mean, I think there's probably
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: a lot of good teachers in the Columbus schools, but
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: the parents need to get behind them in order to
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: make it successful. And I think that's what's lacking.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I agree. I agree, And lacking is a good word.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: It's not like it's not there. We're just not utilizing
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: something that is within our grasp. We just got to
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: reach out and grab it again.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Nope, agreed. So, you know, let's put some focus on
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: the parents. I mean, the schools, the teachers, the administration
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: and all the you know, assistant principles and all the
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: money that's spent that probably doesn't need to be spent
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: as one problem, but it still has to come back
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: to the parents.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. I appreciate you, Kevin, Thanks very much. And by
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the way, let me add a caveat to that caveat.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: That's a big word. It means a condition. When it
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: comes back to the parents, they need to be encouraged yes,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: but allowed to do something with it, because you've got
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: two three generations of parents that will be clueless, but
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: there will be a few of them out there who
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: do remember. And let's not bring down the society as
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: it stands today on top of those people. You can't
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: do that. You can't take your child's screens away. You
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: can't tell your child no television, You can't deny your
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: child this. You definitely cannot give your child that's spanking.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Those people need to be kicked to the curb quick
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: fan and in a hurry. I'm just you know, they
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: gotta get that away while I'm thinking about people who
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: know far better than you and keep changing what's right
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and what's wrong, and what's good and what's bad, and
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: what's up and what's down and so forth. Andy Gentther
• 8:13

  Speaker 1: djokob and it's disrespectful and it's mean, but they'll call
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: him fat Andy, I don't do that, but I did not.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: As one of the things about this, did you notice
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: how labored his speeches. He was speaking in fragments of girls,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and wow, Secondly, how disingenuous it is. It is it's
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: he's reading a teleprompter. It's obvious. I don't mean what
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. This is what I've got in front of me.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: So that's what I'm gonna say. And are you able
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: to hit the reverse button? Because right in the first
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: two seconds you can't. That's what I want. I want
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to clear back to the very beginning because right in
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the first two seconds, and then I'll have you hit
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Paul's again. But listen right in because this sets the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: tone for his entire announcement. Go ahead again, a.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: Get there as we work toward making Columbus the nation's
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: capital for women's sports.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I'm excited right there, the nation's capital for women's sports.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Did you notice that? But did you notice the nation's
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: capital for women's sports? I mean, I'm telling you it's
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: so so, absolutely disingenuous. And that announcement coming out for
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: girls and daughters? What about the other eighty four genders?
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: That was my question. You're a leftist democrat. You're a
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: believer at sanctuary cities, even when they don't call themselves
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: sanctuary cities. You're a believer that there's no such thing
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: as immigration law, that we shouldn't help with immigration law,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: that you should be able to break a federal law.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I still have not been told by the way which
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: federal law I can break without Columbus police coming to
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: get me. Nonetheless, that's your team, man, that's yours. So
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: why specifically daughters and girls? What about boys that identify
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: as daughters and girls? What if my chihuahua Nelly identifies
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: as a daughter, can she play soccer with? And he said,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: with the costs completely covered for those who qualify. It
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: was like a car commercial disclaimer for those who qualify.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, technically, you could say anything anyway you want,
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: no matter what, if you put like a really quick
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: disclaimer in there.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: It was like that that liar guy what's his face
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: used to do on Saturday Night Live. He had that
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: same It was like he was sneaking in little sentences.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: So we're going to provide this free taxpayers expense. You
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: know that's like that. I urge you go to my
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Facebook page and watch that video. Pick it apart the
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: way I'm picking it apart right now, you will find
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: so many things that worry you. But I'm amazed it's
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: for daughters and girls. How are we identifying daughters and girls?
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Can we agree on what a daughter and a girl is?
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: No, I agree, But I absolutely am proud of the
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: fact that Cleveland just started marketing their new expansion w
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: NBA team, Okay, the Cleveland Sirens. So Columbus is definitely.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: That that could have been here. You know that, I
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: know that's what I mean. But our mayor, who wants
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: to make this the capital of women's sports didn't even
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: throw our hat in the ring to get a w
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: NBA franchise. Wants to be re elected in twenty seven.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: He does
