• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I am Chuck Douglas. You are you, and that's the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: way nature intended. This is the power hour on six
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: ten double UTV in my number eight two one nine
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: eight eighty six A two one WTVN. I get full
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: border calls, but if a line comes available, feel free
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: to grab it as long as you get on before
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: we get done. I will do everything I can do
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to get you on. I just wanted to share something
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: sad with you that I saw today, and I don't
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: want to bring you down, but it's just it's one
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of those realities of life. And I don't know who
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: this person was, but I had to take a moment
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: to feel bad for them. As I was driving around.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I was on six seventy passing the Leonard Avenue exit,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: headed up toward Jehanna this morning in the rain, and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a car with one of the purple funeral flags is
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: getting on there at Leonard Avenue. And that car was
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: followed by a hearse, which was followed by a little
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: gray Toyota and that was it. That was it. That
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: was the extent of the funeral procession. And I found
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: myself feeling really bad for for whoever that was. From
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the moment you enter earth, even as a baby, you
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: hope to inspire people to uh, to be a part
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: of your life, to think about you, to to wish
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: well to you. And and I don't know who that was,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: but man, three cars just just I really felt sad
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: for them. So if if you happen to be one
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: of those three cars or you know who, that was
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a few kind thoughts for them tonight. I hope, seriously
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: when I when I kick off, assuming I've lost enough
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: weight that we can finally get pulled theirs, I'm hoping
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: that my procession will like tie up traffic for months.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I just want to be as annoying as possible one
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: last time. You think so, yeah, I hope so. But
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: three cars, it just wow, what a sad thing. Also,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: yesterday I was talked about all the strange ways people
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: were dying, several men who had been killed by falling trees.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Then last night I'm texting exactly like, man, did you
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: hear this? Another guy, seventy four year old man here
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: in central Ohio was cutting a tree. I guess he
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: was killed. And then in Allison's news this afternoon, another
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: guy killed by a falling tree branch in the Hocking
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Hills today. Really a strange set of coincidences. It really is.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: It's not something we hear about all the time. What
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: we also don't hear about is the governor vetoing things
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: that just, I'm sorry, just don't make sense to me,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: which he has done. Sixty billion is the state budget
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: for two years, and the things that were red lined
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: out in the cases I've read so far just are
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: not making sense to me. I'd love to get your thoughts.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: A two U UTV and is the number Todd's been
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: on hold the longest, so Todd you are on six
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to ten double UTVN.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one of a quick comment on something you
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: mentioned the last half hour about new taxes and everything
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: going up and AP raising their rates. All these solar farms,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: all these wind farms, all theficient electronic electronics and appliances
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: in my house, every light bulb's in replaced. Why is
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: my electric bill keep going up?
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Good question? Good question had at the same time, why
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: are they coming to you and saying your electric bills
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: going up while still encouraging all of these data processing
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: things from Google and Intel and Microsoft and Amazon and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: all this those are going to suck down all kinds
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of power. Maybe it would make sense, Todd, if we
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: started coming up with new ways to generate power, or
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: going back to some of the old ways, like the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: nuclear power plants we've been terrified of for the past
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: forty years.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, it was a lot more. Do you
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: say what you want? A lot of people can say
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: what they want, But I think it's more efficient, more
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: environmentally friendly. But I just might I just want to
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: throw that out there because my wife brought it up.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Wife's electric bill keep going up with all these solar
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: farms and wind farms we drive through when we travel,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, yeah, good question.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you and your wife. Todd, thanks very much.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And speaking of wind and the electric bill, here's something else.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: You remember the wind goes through, the ratio comes through.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: A few years ago, and all the power lines knocked down,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: polls came down, and what did they do? We need
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: to raise your rates to pay for the infrastruction. No, no, no,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You are in the business of providing electricity. One of
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the essential elements is lines to provide that electricity. This
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: is a risk of your line of work, just because
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you were not prepared doesn't mean I should have to
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: foot the bill. I got to carry insurance on my
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: car before I go out on the road because I
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: choose to drive. Why should you not carry insurance on
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: your power line? So if a the ratio comes through,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you've got acclaim to your insurance instead of coming to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: me and going, hey, by the way, I need you
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: to pay for this, No you don't. If you do,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I don't want to pay for it, get out of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the business. I pay you for the goods and services
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you provide, and I pay you exorbitantly in some cases.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Why should I also have to pay you for the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: tools that you were using to provide your goods and services.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: You chose that line of work, that is one of
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the risks that comes with it. Or again, maybe that's
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: just me. A TWOWTVN and Jerry are on the Legacy
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Retirement Group dot com phone lines.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we were talking about the unclaimed funds. You know,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: let them get a hold of that money. Remember back
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: a few decades ago, social Security was not allowed to
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: be touched by no government people. I mean, it was
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: just the people to pay it in, got it out,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: and then they start dipping in a little bit, dipping
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: in a little bit. Now every foreigner that shows up,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: every kid, every mother with six kids, every you name it,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: they get so Security yep, and we're always out of money.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Can't well, we can't give you this because we owe
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: this to the We got to take care of this.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: We got to take care of that.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: And it'll be the exact same thing next thing. No,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: that fund will be gone. It's always you let them
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: get a little dip in and then that's it's gone.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Well, social Security is not what it was supposed to be,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: which was supposed to be a supplement for in year
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: old age, but you're paying money into that. And then
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Social Security became Social Security Disability. Okay, so now the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: people who didn't work at all didn't now we're writing
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: checks today. Then it became a DC aid for dependent children.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: So somebody dies, and I know this from firsthand experience.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Somebody dies. They got a one year old child. They
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: might have worked for three years before passing away, had
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a car accident or whatever. That one year old child
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: is now going to get a Social Security check every
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: month until their eighteenth birthday from from proceeds that were
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: never paid into the system by the parent. Because the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: parent died early. We have bastardized what it was supposed
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to be to the point where it's, yeah, it's it's
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: way too much.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Why wouldn't they create a new fund? Only don't call
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: it social Security because that was already a separate organization.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Start a new fund if you want to call it,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: whatever you want to call it, but have a separate fund.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: It is not just the people to pay it in
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: out of their income, you know.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: But you know as well as I do, Jerry, you
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: could you could not trust any government entity or politician
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: to keep that fund. Even social Security is not a fund.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: The money just goes into the general fund. It only
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: exists on paper.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: All right, Well, here you go.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: The fallibility of human beings. Buddy, thanks very much for
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the call. I appreciate you A two one WTVN and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Rochelle you're on six to ten DOULEUTVN.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Chuck once again, great show, great topics, and I'm pretty
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: impressed because you have the kahuna.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: To go after do wine.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: That takes a lot so and you're not you know
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: what after at my last job when I abruptly resigned,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that was that was what everybody thought, did Amy acting
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and Mike Dwine have him fired, And I actually had
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: to do a video on Facebook. My own my boss
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: called me and said, can you please put something on
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Facebook because people are outraged and they're protesting and coming
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: to the station, and so I had to go clarify
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to people. Look, I got ticked off and quit. Mike
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: DeWine and Amy Acting did not have me fired for
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: goodness sake.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Well, thank goodness then, but let's just hope you don't
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: get in trouble for this. But either way, I'm gonna
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: try to be crack. Okay, So I have two quick questions.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Do we allow kids under seventeen go to rate at
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: our movie?
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Nope?
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Nope? And do we let little boys and girls and
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: teenagers go to the others like men's strip clubs or
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: strip clubs on Bethel Road?
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Do you know that?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Nope?
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: So why a name?
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Why would the petite governor d whine? I think it's
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: okay to override what the other legislators put in place.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: They worked hard to get that in place. Well, I
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: don't care what his excuse is.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: I don't get it crazy.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: It doesn't cost any money to move that material to
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: a different.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Place, and we're not saying it's banned. We're not saying
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: it's banned. We're not saying you can't have. We're just
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: asking please show us. We're supposed to show you that
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: it's okay to be you and live as you want
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and so forth, that's okay. Show us that same respect
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: by keeping it away from our kids. If we don't
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: want our kids, what the hell is the big deal there?
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: It's mutual respect between two opposing points of view. Why
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: is that a problem exactly?
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: If some liberal parent wants who or her child to
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: see that stuff, that liberal parent can go talk to
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: the librarian and find out where it is. But my
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: other thing, if there's any moms that are as mad
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: about this as I am, please consider going down to
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: the library, find some of this inappropriate stuff, have some
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: videotape you same what this stuff is, and just put
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: it out there and so people can see the things
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: to which these kids can be exposed. I can't believe
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Dwyane did this. I just feel so betrayed. I'm a
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Republican and I don't know what he's thinking. What kind
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: of legacy does he want? Is this the thing for
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: which he wants to be known years from now getting
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: so many people mad with stupid things like this.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: It really is. It really is an odd choice to make,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: especially as you are the lame duck. You're on your
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: way out. This is not the way I'd want to
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: be remembered.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir, all right, Jack, You're great.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Thanks again, Rochelle, thanks for the call. I appreciate you. John.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: You are on sixten doa w ETV and Hi.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: All right, Chuck.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: Quick question. I'm a senior. I don't pay state income
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: tax because I'm well into retirement. And is this new
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: flat tax as seniors in the state of ohioan now
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: I'm going to have to start paying income tax on
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: their retirement.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know yet. That is a very good question.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: It depends, I guess, on your retirement income. I think
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the amount that you're bringing in with your pension, social
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Security and all that. I think that that's going to
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: come into play more so than whatever your your employment
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: status is.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: See, for years, seniors didn't have to pay income tax. Okay, Well,
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: if you hear anything, I'll be I listen to you
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: all the time. I'll pay attention.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Bless your heart, John, I appreciate that. Yeah, for many years,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I mean Social Security wasn't taxed either. And I still
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: don't understand. You worked all your life, you had this
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: money taken out of your account, You paid all your taxes.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Now that they've taken it from now you're going to
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: have to pay taxes on it again. That's craziness. I
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: think I lost John. Okay, well, yeah, it's I don't
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: get any of it. We you know, same thing with
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the inheritance tax again. You made money, you worked hard,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and you know, God willing, you were prosperous, You did well,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and you put some money back after paying your taxes.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: You put some money back, You were able to save
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: some money. And then you kick off and you leave
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: it to junior or you leave it to junior at.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Junior and junior at have to pay taxes on it
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: again after you already paid taxes on it when you
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: made it, but because you left it to them from
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: your hard work, sweat toil all those years, your children,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: your family have to pay taxes on it again. And
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: if they use it to buy property, buy a home,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: then they pay taxes on the home that they buy
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: from the taxes that they paid on the Come on man.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: At some point shouldn't your stuff be yours? No, not
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: even if your name is on it in an unclaimed
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: funds category in the state of Ohio. Not even that
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: is yours when the government wants it. How sad, it's
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: probably gonna take me a week to sort through all
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: of these vetos and exactly what they mean. And John,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I will do what I can to find out about
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that retired issue with the income tax and how these
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: new rates affect all of us. But I'm telling you,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and this isn't a Republican thing, This isn't a Democrat thing.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: This is just a working stiffs thing. Man. At some point,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: our crap has to be ours. They've got to quit
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: tax and it, taken it and dip it into it
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: every time they feel like it. It's not right. What
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: is the point in aspiring to greatness? What is the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: point in achieving? What is the point in accumulating If
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: it is only going to bring pain to you, to
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: those that you leave behind, what's the point. It's almost
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: as if they want us to not achieve and just
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: you know, count on the government for everything. But no,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: no way that could be a tactic
