  Speaker 2: Chuck Douglas, The Power Hour on 610 WTVN.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Excuse me as I sound a little fragmented here speaking
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: to you. I'm trying to read the closed captioning on
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: my screen while I'm talking to you because the mayor
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: of Kissimmee, Florida, was arrested this morning pulling out of
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: her driveway.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Did you catch that story? I'm intrigued.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: I hear Florida, I hear arrest, so I know it's
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: going to be interesting.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, do me a favor.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Look this up so you can fill me in because
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I can't keep reading this and talking at the same time.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I don't multitask that way. 821-9886, number 821-WTVN. Will the video,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: will the mom video change your vote?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: That's all I want to know.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know, frankly, that it is going to sway.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: If you were an Amy Acton voter before, I don't
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: think you're going to go, Wow, well, if your mom
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: calls you a liar and your daughter won't talk to you,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I can't vote for you. I don't necessarily— now, if you
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: were one of the, like, seven undecided people, maybe it
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: makes a difference.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: But I just— I' m not sure that it does to a
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: lot of people. 821-WTVN, back to the phones. Dana, you're
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: on 610-WTVN.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: It will not change my vote. I am voting for him.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: I will not vote for sick, sick, sick Amy. I
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: don't trust her. She's never treated a patient in her life.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: They may call her a doctor, but she's never treated
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: a patient. I just don't trust her.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: So you were going with Ramaswami beforehand?
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. If you remember right, earlier in the campaign,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: they came at Ramaswami's mother because she During a certain
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: type of drug trial, they said that she did something
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: to interfere and cause something to happen. I don't know
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: exactly what or how it was worded, but they– and
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Ramaswamy did not answer back, but now he's answering back.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: I don't know who's telling the truth here or not,
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: but it's not going to change my vote. just because
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: of what she said, because she's a proven liar.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it, Dana. 821-WTVN, 821-9886.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Who's been on hold the longest here? Looks like Ransom
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: is up next. Ransom, you're on 610-WTVN.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: Hey, Chuck. Good talking to you. Hey, there used to
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: be a show called Dragnet, and the opening line was
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: just the facts, man, just the facts.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I still watch it every morning at 5 a.m.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so let's talk about the facts, okay? Amy Acton
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: was the health person that saw us through the COVID.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: If any educated voters out there, not the uneducated ones
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: who will not care about what I'm saying right now
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: because they'll just go with whatever the media says, but
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: the educated voter who wants that they don't want to
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: lose the state of Ohio, let's get the facts out.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: The facts are by her decision she made about the
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: COVID virus, She cost the state of Ohio close to $ 1. 4 billion.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: That's a fact. Over close to 2,000 to 3,000 or 4,000
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: people in nursing homes and hospitals died because of Amy Acton.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: There's blood on her hands. Okay? This personally hits me
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: because my cousin, who was an ICU nurse, her husband, unfortunately,
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: contracted COVID. was not able to see him. He passed away.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: And because of her recommendations to the governor, who was
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: spineless and ruined our state for how long it went,
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: she was not able to be at the funeral of
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: her own husband that she'd been married to for decades.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Plenty of those stories were out there. I don't know
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: why people aren't feeling it. We all hated everything that
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: was being done during the COVID, the two years.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: But I don't know.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: It's almost like it's a point of non-conversation now, and
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I don't get that.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: Well, see, if you look at Ramosomi's ads up until
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: this one we're talking about, he is reminding Ohio voters
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: about that. He's also reminding Ohio voters he's been to
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: 88 counties, which I don't think he's probably been to
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: any of them. And then also, he was raised in
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: the Cincinnati public school system, so everyone thinks This guy
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: who has a couple dollars between his fingers, that he
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: just was born into money. His family came from India, okay?
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: He went to public school. He's a smart guy. He's
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: a businessman. And we need a businessman in Ohio that
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: knows how to pay a check, knows what his workers
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: go through, and we don't need some woman that could
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: not even stay on the job and resign because the
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: pressure was too much. To be honest with you, Chuck,
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: what we need to do is we need to pray
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: that she doesn't win because, heaven forbid, if she has
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: too much pressure as the governor, her poor husband's going
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: to be having everything in the world thrown at him
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: when she goes and gets drunk because she can't handle
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: the pressure.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: And Ransom, you know, that's been out there for, I
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: don't know, a few weeks now. They talk about her
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: collapsing and down on the floor and crying. I've seen,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you know, some other more involved people. Losses of control
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: in some posts out there. She hasn't denied any of that.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: But mom says she's a liar, and boom, we got
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to deny that. I found that interesting. We've heard a
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff about Amy Acton during COVID, and she
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: hasn't pushed back. But this, she pushed back on. I
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: find that kind of interesting. 821-9886 is my number. John,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you're on 610 WTV in Hank.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Chuck. And listen, that ransom that was on just
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: before me, I second that. He's right on target. And
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: I met Vivek up at the OSU football game, Tennessee
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: and Ohio State, a couple years ago. I did security.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: He came in my gate, and he politely asked me.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: He said, I need to get up to this box.
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: I said, no worries. I'll take you on up. I
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: had two minutes with him, and I was just... Blown
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: away by his intelligence, his personality. It was just cool
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: being around him. There's no comparison on who we should
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: be voting for. And I hope the people wake up.
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: Levesque is a good man. He could very well be
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: the best governor Ohio's ever had.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: That's a strong endorsement.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: And thank you for getting Democrats and Republicans on your show.
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: It's fantastic.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I try to be fair handed. I'm a conservative. I'm
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: a registered Republican, although that makes me shiver sometimes. But
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I you know, all people at the table, people of
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: goodwill with good intentions, a respect for our Constitution and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: a love for our country can be of different parties
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and hammer things out. That's how we were founded. That's
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: how we're supposed to operate. Excluding everybody else and only
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: talking to your own people.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: It doesn't get us anywhere.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: And bring that debate on. We would love a debate.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, I would love to see it. I don't think
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: it will happen, but I would love to see it. John,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. 821-9886 from John. We go to
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Johnny on 610-WTVN.
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: Yes, sir. The debate would be awesome. I agree with everything.
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's not changing my vote. Everything's the way
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: it was. We've got to vote sane. for the state
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: of Ohio here. I mean, I got grandkids and everything else.
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: I hope everything's good.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Sanity is not a common element out there anymore, Johnny.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: You know, you say vote sane, but people are crazy.
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: I know that. I mean, I tell you what, it's
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: scary for my grandkids and my kids. I'm like you.
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: I'm getting old enough. I hope everything goes right, but
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: I'm telling you, I'm scared for my kids.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And things that ought to scare us or at the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: very least worry us, whether it's in Columbus, Ohio, Franklin County,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: state of Ohio, or across this country, it seems like
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: as a society anymore, we would rather stick our heads
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: in the sand and act like we don't know about it,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: we don't see it, we didn't know it. I don't
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: get that. We're Americans, man. We're supposed to confront stupid stuff.
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: I mean, I have friends, and... Believe me, I worked
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: union for 25 years. I voted Democrat. But it's like
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: common sense. It's like, let's just vote for the people
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: we know is going to contribute to this country and
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: try to keep it where we're at and try to
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: keep something.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: It's bad.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I'm with you, Johnny. Thanks very much for the call, buddy.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I got one more here. Let's get Dick on before
• 9:07

• 9:39
  Speaker 1: in the time that I've been on the air, either
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: this time or the last time around. None of them
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: have left the studio feeling like they were abused or
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: ambushed or mistreated or disrespected or anything like that. That
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: doesn't get you anywhere. Having people walk out the door
• 9:52

• 9:55
  Speaker 1: better place.
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: Well, keep up the good work, Chuck.

• 10:06
  Speaker 1: get that Kissimmee story? What's the Reader's Digest version? What
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: happened there?
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: So Kissimmee Mayor Jackie Espinoza, I'm guessing. I'm terrible with names. uh,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: was arrested Wednesday morning. She faces charges of grand theft
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: and organized crime scheme with pandemic funds, misuse of pandemic, uh,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: relief funds.
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: Hmm.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Hmm.
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: Hmm.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: All this time late. If they waited this long, they
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: got something.
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh yeah.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Those pandemic relief funds were the biggest, biggest bunch of BS.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I wonder how many people got away with it. I
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: own a company with 47 employees. I need $ 12, 000 a
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: day in, uh, And what do you call it? Whatever
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: they put on there for the term to keep your
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: business alive. And they just handed them the money.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I was seriously thinking of making a LLC during that time.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Always do things the right way. It might not be convenient.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: It might not be easy. It might not result in
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: what you're trying to achieve. But you go to bed
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: at night and you sleep and you wake up the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: next day knowing you're the kind of person you want
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: to be. You want your kids to remember, your grandkids
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: to remember.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: And that's more important than anything else.
