I WOULD HAVE PAID THE MONEY
The "nothing to see" attitude of city leadership (the mayor) is very annoying.
WHERE ARE THE COUNDIL MEMBERS? WHY THE SILENCE AND INVISIBILITY?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Greeting salutations. Welcome my friends to another edition of The
Power Hour. This is six ' ten DOUBTV and I'm
Check Douglas. You know who you are. We take it
from there. We get one hour together, which means I
talk really fast. You must listen even faster. My number
area code six one for A two one nine eight
eighty six A two one dou WTV in or one
eight hundred and six ' ten dou WTV. And if
(00:22):
I like your fuse during the show, get a line,
grab a line. I will do everything I can to
get you on, which I failed at last night. By
the way, I'm sorry, but you guys all wait until
the second half of the show to call. And I
actually left this room last night. I feel terrible about
it with a screen full of people trying to get on,
(00:42):
and Zach and I both lamented after the show man,
it's it, you know, I have the time that I have.
It is what it is. And if you wait until
you know fifteen till to call up, I'm not gonna
get you in. It's just I'll do my best for
everybody that gets in early on, but I can't. There
are just some things logistically that cannot be done. Sean
(01:03):
Hennedy comes up after I get off, and that has
to be timed out. Zach has to make sure everything
is where it's supposed to be down to the second
in order for that to happen. So don't be angry
at me. I'll do my best always to get you on.
So that being said, I've been telling you and I'm good.
I'll talk about the thing I had in the probo
(01:24):
about the Kamala Harris of stuff that came out. But
this is more important to me because I am live
and local, and I like live and local stuff. This
is my hometown. I like to make sure that we
are all aware of what's going on here. So yesterday
I spoke about Mayor Andy Gentther Andrew Ginther. I don't
even know what he prefers. I think Andy, I'm not positive,
(01:45):
but he spent seventeen minutes yesterday saying nothing about this
cyber attack. I mean, he talked, words came out of
his mouth, but he really did not say anything of
any consequence except for the fact that you know, it
was encrypted and they weren't able to use it, and uh,
you know, not so much the case, not so much
(02:09):
the case. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna commend
Channel ten over there Tera Jibor at Channel ten for
doing a story Tuesday morning. Columbus me or Andy Getter
said the data posted by hackers on the dark web
was not usable. He said it was not usable. He
said it was not usable because it was encrypted or corrupted. However,
a cyber security expert not only said that's not true,
(02:30):
but revealed what personal information is available. Cyber security expert
Connor good Wolf It's a name he chose for this interview,
not his legal name. He said, the personal data one
hundreds of thousands of private citizens is now on the
dark web. Those citizens are anybody listen to me now, people,
(02:51):
I need some church music because Chuck's about to preach,
he said. Anyone who swiped their driver's license at city
Hall in the last past ten years. If you wanted
to go to a council meeting or had a meeting
with a council person, or trying to get into see
the may or anything like that, you had to swipe.
It includes anyone who's dealt with the Columbus City Attorney's
prosecuting office in any way. That means whether you have
(03:12):
filed charges or whether you were being charged with something.
They got you. I called the other day to get
a copy of my water bill. They needed the last
four digits of my social Security number. Any way, including victims, suspects,
or someone who was subpoened by the court or law enforcement.
Goodwolf downloaded servers from the City of Columbus and showed
(03:33):
ten TV personal information. He said. When he heard about
the data being hacked for the city, he went to
the dark web to see what he could find. I said,
let's take a look. I saw the prosecutor's database on there,
so I was like, this isn't good. They contained private information.
They contained social security numbers. They contained addresses of individuals,
especially people at risk in this situation, victims of domestic violence, rape,
(03:55):
and other heinous crimes. Their private information is now public information.
I told you people this. I told you two weeks
ago when we first started getting a whiff of this story.
I told you there's no way it was limited to
(04:15):
a couple of cops. Then it became more cops, then
it became firefighters. I told you, if you've paid a ticket,
paid taxes, paid a water bill, had any interaction with
the City of Columbus. You were in a computer somewhere.
I told you. This guy told ten TV it did
(04:36):
not take him long to find the data. He said
he downloaded the twenty two gigabyte twenty two gigabytes of
data from the prosecutor's office in three to six hours.
He found his legal name on that database. He said.
I felt vulnerable, sick to my stomach. I'm just a
cybersecurity expert. My thoughts are the city is ignorant and
(04:56):
negligent to levels of criminality. You know I'm gonna agree
because because once again they're doing the officer Barb Brady.
Nothing to see here, move along, just move along, there
is something to see here. I was all with Mike
la this morning on Columbus This Morning News here on
six ten the old UTV, and I think I threw
(05:17):
him for a loop because I said, if I were
Andy Gentther Andrew Gether mayor Geinther, if I were geinther
In this same predicament, here's what I would have done.
Called up all the news people, said, come on in,
I got to do a press conference, because they do
that very rarely unless they're throwing money away on something.
(05:38):
I would have called the news conference, brought everybody in
and said, here's the deal. We have been attacked by
cyber terrorists. They have seized information from the city database.
They have lots of information, and they are threatening to
put it on the dark web, make it available to
anybody who wants to buy it if we do not
pay them two million dollars. After careful consideration, I have
(06:00):
decided to pay the two million dollars instead of spending
twenty million dollars to go in and try to fix
what I allow them to screw up, because I want
to be a hardhead, Right, mister mayor, What if they
take your money and then they don't give the information back?
Think about this. People. Their job, as the mayor himself
(06:23):
pointed out yesterday, this is happening to cities all over
the country. Their job is to get you to pay.
If they take the money from Columbus, Ohio and then
they do not return the information they stole from Columbus, Ohio,
do you think Cleveland, Ohio is going to pay them?
Or Chicago, Illinois, or Las Vegas, Nevada, or New York
(06:44):
a hell of a town. Do you think anybody else
is going to pay them? If they don't keep their
word to us. Of course not, they would be putting
themselves out of their cyber terror business. Two million dollars
would have been a cheap fix. And uh, I'm telling
you that the lawsuits now are going to grow as well.
(07:05):
It's not right now you've got public employees. As soon
as a member of the public suffers detrimental effects because
their information at the City of Columbus was shared on
the dark web, there will be lawsuits citizens will file.
There will be class action lawsuits from citizens. You think
I'm wrong, Zach, You think I'm right? What do you
(07:26):
think you've got a beard? You tell me?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I think that they could still take the information and
sell it regardless. They're going to make money either way.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I see. I don't think they will because there's more
money to be made by getting the cities to pay
the black mail.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I get you.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I don't know because that's a black I don't know
how much money they can get for selling that information.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
You'm not racist, by the way, blackmail, now that I
think about it, I'm just saying, would if it was,
would it be? Do you call the good stuff white? Male?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I don't know the et homology of blackmail?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Where did that come from? I'll probably be black balled
for bringing that. Oh, I can't believe I said that.
I'm man a two one A two one w TV
and let's get a couple in here, shall we. Uh? Dave,
you are on the Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone lines?
Speaker 5 (08:09):
How are you great? How are you this evening?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I am slightly twisted otherwise.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Well, welcome to the club. I just got done telling
Zach I said, I have a perfect solution for you
to be able to get.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
To all your phone callers, and that would be.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
We need to get w TVN needs to give you
a three hour show.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, good luck with that. Well, who ain't gonna bump?
Nobody's getting bumped. I don't. I don't think. I don't think, uh,
you know, the Clay and Buck are gonna get bumped.
I don't think Hannity's gonna get bumped. Blazer and I
have known each other for a long time and we'd
wrestle in the parking lot, but he ended up winning
(08:51):
because I'm old and and and you know, Mike's not
going anywhere in the morning. So unless you you don't
want any more Art and Bell there's no place to
put me.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I just I don't care to listen all the talking heads.
I listened in the morning, I listened in the afternoon.
Once you're done, I go right back to other stuff.
I wish we was all local radio here instead of
all this talking political talking head stuff. But I don't
think I'm ever gonna get my way.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah, well probably not, none of us ever do. But hey, Dave,
I appreciate you, buddy, thanks very much for being there
when you are. You are appreciated. I mean that, every
single one of you, even you not heads that interact
with me on social media. I appreciate you. I do
well most of you. There's a couple of people, but
I'm just saying A two ninety eighty six, A two
y WTV and John, you're on the Legacy Retirement Group
(09:38):
dot com phone lines. How are you? My doctor has
not warned me of anything, so I'm going with good.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
There you go. So tell me gif Or doesn't sound
like Kamalia.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Well, I don't know. He's he's a little. I don't know,
he's a little what's the word I'm looking for. Eva.
Although he talks a lot, he doesn't say much when
he does, and I would say that they have those
what was the phrase against Zach, So we can be
unbounded by the by the scooters of what was it.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Unburdened by treus of the of the scooters tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Or something like that. Yeah, so she's you know in
that respect. Yeah, their mouth goes and words come out,
but I never really hear anything.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Yeah, it's it's unbelievable. But you know what, people buy
it and it's getting ridiculous. It's it's crazy. Please go
out and the road. I'm starting, you know what, here's
the whole thing, Chuck, I'm starting to get scared. I'm
really starting to get scared. You look at some of
(10:45):
these holes that are legit, not the not the crap
they throw on the internet. But we got to get
help care and vote because I'm telling you what it's
it's going to be closer than what people think.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I just let's put up on my Facebook page today
a reminder to take advantage of early voting. Because now
the World Health Organization, and we know how much we
love them, now they're bringing back the monkey pocks, except
they call it impops now because it was offensive to monkeys.
And so now it's the impos but now they're trying
to make that into an international pandemic. Don't be surprised
(11:20):
if come election time people can't go to the polls
and vote because of a pandemic. I'm telling you, early vote,
early vote. You've been beaten with that stick for years.
It's time you start swinging it back.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Please, please, please, please please. I love you, Chuck. Keep
doing what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Man, Thank you.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
You need a four hour show, and you know what.
I love coast to coast, but you know what, I'll
take you a coast to coast any day.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Oh, bless your heart. You don't want me in here
in the middle of the night though you think I'm
weird during daylight hours. Oh, you don't want to see
what happens to me in the middle of the night.
I grow horns and all kinds of stuff. Steve, you're
on six ten TV and hike right.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
I think I got an answer for you. It's trojan
horse virus. I don't think they take them out of there.
They get them out of there completely. Stuff. You pay
that ransom. What's to stop them from shutting everything down
against stealing more information and then holding out for ransom.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Oh, there's nothing to stop them except your efforts. I mean,
once you know what your vulnerabilities are, you patch those holes.
The trouble is there will always be another vulnerability. We
are a computer society, and no matter I mean, I
don't know. Are you a Microsoft guy? Do you have
a Windows PC?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Well? I used to, but.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
There's security patches every fifteen minutes, it seems like because
uh and for the longest time, quite frankly, I thought
Steve Jobs was behind them, because Apple never seemed to
have problems with viruses, but Microsoft always did.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Could be true. I've got a friend who got downloaded something,
you know, probably surfing enough site you probably shouldn't have
been serving, accidentally downloaded something, and it's tells him when
you got this mauntware, call this number to get it fixed.
And he calls the number, and of course they charge him,
(13:12):
and then uh, they say, okay, it's all fixed down.
Then a couple months later pops up again and he's
got to call that number. Okay, he's got to pay again.
And I'm like, here's your problem. You're paying these hackers.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yeah, and if you're not fixing whatever they got in
through whichever window they came through, then you are just
allowing them to crawl through it again. You have to
fix the problem. And uh, you know, some of the
best good guys you can hire are former bad guys.
I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
what has been. I will be unburdened by trafficking weather
(13:48):
together right now from day and night, heating and cooling
products and deal mechanical. What's it look like? And darling, alrighty,
then we're twenty six minutes past six o'clock the power
hour on six to ten double UTV in the number
eight two one nine eight eighty six eight two one
(14:08):
double UTVN right now talking about Gintheruring Company. He knows
Columbus City Council members are all very quiet about this.
I don't know that I've seen any of them speak out.
It's everybody just kind of standing you go right, I have,
mister mayor, go right, go right on in there. I
don't see any of them speaking out. That's a bad sign.
(14:29):
When your troops leave the battlefield, you're out there with
one horse, one spear, and an approaching army. Never ever
a good sign. Also during the break here, just reading
a couple of stupid things, one of which is, uh,
they've got a rendition here of an artistic rendition of
Bobby Hill, who is going to be twenty one years old.
They are rebooting King of the Hill. Hulu is going
(14:51):
to carry it. Bobby, Bobby looks like Hank, and Hank
looks like an older Hank. Just say him so A
two one nine eight eighty six number eight two one
wutvn oh man? Damn where Dan go? I put my
finger on Dan's button, and there's nothing dirty about that.
And then I look over and he's gone, all right, Dan,
I don't know what. I think he was calling to
give me something about get there. But that's fine. If
(15:13):
you weren't with me at the beginning of the show,
first of all, shame on you. I contend that we
should have paid the two million dollar ransom. I contend
that we will pay more in now trying to put
back together, figure out protect for the future, and all
that kind of stuff, and the fact that the mayor
has since the very beginning. First it was nothing, it's
(15:35):
nothing at all. Well it's something, but it's just a
little something. Okay, Well it's more than a little something.
It's a bigger sing. Oh lawsuits from the police, well
just just a couple, oh lawsuits from the fire department
to just a couple and now we find out just
tons of information. Good job ten TV for getting that
(15:56):
cybersecurity expert in there and showing just how many people
are affected by this breach. They say, anybody who swiped
their driver's license to get into city hall is in
the database. I say, if you pay a water bill,
you're in the database. If you had a traffic ticket,
you're in the database. If you've been a criminal or
a complainant with the prosecutor's office, you're in the database.
(16:19):
And your database is on the dark web. Keep an
eye on your checking accounts and start changing passwords. Now,
that is the best advice I can give you. Let's
get a final check here of the traffic situation out
on our highways and our byways from day and night.
Heating and cooling products and deal mechanical, how's it looking?
(16:42):
And six thirty four. I just I don't know, man,
I just I said I should not read stuff during
the breaks because it just makes me. It just makes
me nuts. Some of the stuff that is out here.
It just makes me nuts. And again the social media thing.
(17:02):
As I was saying in the last segment, if it
weren't for being able to stay in touch with most
of you, I would not be on social media. And
there are a few that make me nuts. Blazer and
I were just talking before he left the room and
I came into the room this afternoon about the fact
that you know, there are people who consistently, by the way,
it's not just like once in every bloom, they consistently
(17:26):
will they'll like commando a post I put something up
there that has you know, well, let's say it was
about the cybersecurity breach here in Columbus, Okay, And somehow,
some way they will turn it into a Kamala Harris
thing or Donald Trump thing, or a story about you know,
(17:46):
how a horse kicked them when they were a child
or whatever. They just they completely out of left field,
has nothing at all to do with whatever has been posted.
They just decide here's what I want to talk about.
Or I'll post something and say, okay, now, I don't
want you to answer this on the Facebook, on the Twitter,
or on the Instagram or on the TikTok, or we'll
(18:07):
talk about it on the air. Never fails. They start
doing it. I said, no, don't do it. I want
to save it for the air. They start answering there.
Or I'll say, give me a single example of the best,
the best pizza you ever had, and somebody will list
forty eight pizza joints they visited in their life, and yeah,
(18:31):
it gets frustrating. I mean, it's not like I'm angry.
I'm gonna show up at your house and yell at
you or anything. But I don't understand why people do that.
It's just frustrating some of them. I especially those that
have been around for a long while, have been following me,
you know, station the station over the years or whatever.
I've actually sent them messages and said, you know, don't
(18:51):
do that. Don't do that, don't put up, you know,
a commercial for your business unless you ask me first. Hey,
this is my page when I come in here and
I open my mouth and I talk about stuff. This
is what I'm doing for a living, and the page
is just an extension of what I do on the air.
So please don't get free commercials if you want to
(19:13):
advertise your a locally owned business or something like that.
Somebody that's been with me and supported me over the years.
The chances are I'm going to say, yeah, but if
you just pop something in there, or here's my cousin's,
you know, concrete business in Butte, Montana, I know, don't
do that. Those who have sent me things this this
(19:34):
one really gets me. I was listening to such and
such on so and so, and they were saying, do
you send them notes to say you were listening to
me on six ' ten WTV, And and here's what
I said, that's an honest question. Come into my page
to promote somebody else, somewhere else doing something that is,
(19:54):
you know, in some cases, directly opposed to what I'm doing. Well,
that's not cool at all. Now you can follow those
rules and not make me crazy. Feel free to follow me.
I'm on Facebook. Just look up Chuck Douglas a big
melon head picture wearing a blue suit. On Instagram and
Twitter it is Chuck d Talker, and on TikTok it
is Chuck Douglas talker. I think that's right. Zach is
(20:16):
supposed to keep track of that stuff for me, and
he never does.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
I WHOA, what huh? I'm not supposed to have anything
to do with your search.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yes, you are. I don't. Didn't you read your doctor
that's your job description. Are you gonna tell me it's
not your job description? Now, Veronica, are you here?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Silence, No, that is not my job.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
First Energy will pay twenty million dollars to avoid prosecution
in the Ohio bribery screen screen, screen? Did I say, screen? Yes?
I did. I said scream wow in the Ohio bribery scheme,
I said, screen. Let me just say, that's a pittance.
That's a pittance, twenty million dollars a pittance nothing. I
(21:06):
do not excuse anyone in the individuals or entities for
that bs that they pulled on the people of the
state of Ohio. A billion dollars thrown into political pockets
in order to get your way, to get legislation passed,
to get politicians who are supposed to stand up for
us to stand out of your way so that you
could forge ahead with your business plan. Twenty million dollars
(21:29):
that ain't enough to buy a cup of coffee in
this case. I don't know how how they how they
arrived at a twenty million dollar figure, but quite frankly,
I'm offended by that you remembered the Trump trial in
New York. What was it, eight hundred and fifty million
dollars they wanted to give him for a bond, Donald
(21:50):
Trump would they want They got it lowered to three fifty,
but still eight hundred and fifty And this corporate entity
that tried to corrupt the process in the state of
Ohio thought they could skate get away with it twenty
million dollars. That's nothing, absolutely nothing. I was just going
(22:13):
back to through the Gifther stories here on the cyber attack.
This one, this one actually came from yesterday. So this
is the update that I was just ranting and raving
about the update from yesterday. I'm still in the ten
TV sit. Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther provided an update to
the city's ongoing battle with the cyber attack, saying the
data is stolen by hackers was either corrupted or encrypted,
meaning it was likely useless. According to a fact sheet
(22:34):
published by the city on Tuesday, where's his little quote here,
which was you know that nothing to say. Here we
go the threat actor. They keep coming up with names,
the threat actor, the cyberpunks use cyberpunks. Well, yeah, the
threat actor claimed to have six point five terabytes of data,
but our forensics indicate they have far less. Oh, I'm
(22:58):
much more comfortable now. I believe the screenshots of the
data files are the most compelling asset that they had.
What's he's saying, The pictures of what they had are
the most compelled, and the sensitive files were either encrypted
or corrupted, making them totally unusable. That's what he said
yesterday and was proven wrong today. This is why I'm saying,
(23:20):
change your passwords, change everything, change everything.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Not to cut it. I don't mean to make a joke,
but being totally serious. Do you think if they.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Like if that, if they try it again to try
to hack anything of Columbus, that they could take the
food carts out after midnight that that could help.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I think if we limited the food carts to only
like between nine and nine fifteen pm, if their operation,
that would solve the cybersecurity problem.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I'm just trying to help and throw ideas out.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
And we could get the cyber terrorists to join a
cyber midnight basketball league, which I think would really really
clean up the Internet. I mean that could end all
kinds of things, cyber ransom, the whole human trafficking thing
will come to a complete halt. They keep fixing things
with stuff that doesn't fix anything. I don't get you, people,
(24:13):
I don't get you. In case you missed it in
the news headlines with Grumbley, the bond was set for
the officer in Blendon Township. And you know, as I
said yesterday, I find it hard to believe there's even
multiple indictments here. But the judge gave officer grub a
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars cash or surty bond,
(24:36):
as well as a twenty five thousand dollars recognissance bond.
So I'm not sure how much money needs to go.
You'd have to pay twenty five thousand dollars or ten
percent to get the surety bond Right now, I don't
know what the recognissance bond for twenty five thousand is.
(24:57):
Recognissance is the word recognized when you released on your
own recognisance? Is that means you are released because the
court recognizes who you are?
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Right?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Am I misreading this? The word recognisance is from recognize?
So what is a twenty five thousand dollars recognisance bond?
They're charging you because they know who you are. Here's
a fee because we know who you are. And why
is it in addition to the two hundred and fifty
(25:28):
thousand dollars cash or surety bond after he's not guilty. Please,
I again, the numbers are lower than I expected here,
But I don't understand the complication of the process. Why
do we need two different types of bonds? I'm just
I don't know. And and well, I won't go well,
(25:51):
let this thing play out for a while, but I
will contend that it's it is stupid that this officer
has been indicted. Is unfortunate that the young woman made
the choices that she made that day, that she lost
her life in the process. But to indict a police
officer for involuntary manslaughter and murder, how the hell you
can do both at the same time. As beyond me,
(26:13):
because he went out there and was doing his job.
As I said yesterday, it's just beyond me. I did
get what one guy who I don't I don't know
if he was arguing or not. I'm still I went
home last night and I was probably spent two hours
trying to figure out that call. Was it Tim or Tom?
Yesterday it was Doug. I think Doug.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
He was arguing with you.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Just just and he kept saying, and I was trying.
I listened back to the show last night, trying to
figure out what he was trying to say. They didn't
need to do anything because they had pictures of her
stealing the liquor from the store. And I don't know
what that meant. I'm not able to grasp. Okay, so
(26:53):
they had pictures, so what And he said something about, well,
you could put the pictures in the newspaper. So what,
you committed a crime, you get arrested, you go to jail.
And it seemed to me that he was trying to
say that, you know, well, if her picture was published
and she wasn't allowed to come back in the store,
(27:14):
that was enough. I'm sorry, I don't I don't understand that.
And I did try. I did. I made a sincere
effort to listen to the call. I did it several times,
and I sat thinking, considering, translating, deciphering, doing everything I
(27:37):
could to come up with what the guy was trying
to say.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Well, I think you're overthinking it, because he said, you
don't arrest somebody who's leaving the scene of a crime.
You wait till they come back, and then you still
don't arrest them.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
And then but you have a picture of them.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
You have a picture of them. Yeah, So what more
do you want? What don't you understand, Chuck.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I, that's just it. I don't understand any of that.
And I felt bad, honestly for not understanding because I
think I think he was trying to make a point.
And I seriously do try to be fair with people.
I have always said, you know, I will debate, disgust,
disagree as long as it's respectful. You call up and
you have a differing opinion, fine, we'll talk about it.
(28:21):
I won't be you know, yelled at or talked over
or mistreated. I'll give you your opportunity to speak, you
give me mine, and that's a conversation. I'm good with that.
But I have to understand the basis of the conversation.
And last night I failed at that. Last night I failed.
I consider myself a pretty pretty decent interpreter when I'm
(28:44):
getting and I didn't last night. Just terrible. Also, I
got to say this, I woke up this morning and
flipped on the television news before I get in the
car with my radio. That's I generally keep the TV
news on and I was sad the UDF store over
(29:06):
on my beloved west side of Climb and Endemorist, which
is comparatively a pretty nice store, you know. Well, I
say comparatively, I mean with the other stores around there,
the other UDFs, it feels a little more suburban and
it's you know, large lots and lots of gas pumps
(29:28):
and plenty of activity. And the first thing I hear
this morning is I think he was seventeen year old
that was killed over there. And apparently this came out
of a road rage incident with a thirty year old man,
and they caught the guy about an hour later. I
don't know who this young man was, who his family was.
(29:52):
I'm just I'm sorry that we are so out of
control as a society that that that happened. I'm starting
to take things really, really personally on that side of town,
because we should be better overall, and because that's, you know,
(30:13):
my home, I take it personally. So do this for
me as we part ways this evening. You don't have
to be overly nice. You don't have to be sacharine sweet,
you don't have to be sugar coated. You don't have
to take guff from anybody that wants to treat you badly,
But don't go out of your way to get angry
(30:33):
or upset about stuff. Sometimes, Really, what's it matter? I
have this conversation with my grandsons all the time. Well,
he said that I sow, but he said that I
know no. What does it matter? What if he said
(30:55):
that you were a tutu wearing ballerina from the planet Zorgon,
are you no? Then his words didn't matter? Did they?
Let people be as stupid as they want to be
unless it is directly impacting you somehow, some way negatively
affecting your life, your existence, your family. Just walk on by.
(31:20):
Put Dion Warwick on if you must, But walk on by,
because these days in this world, opening your mouth and
saying something because you feel the need when it's not
affecting you can't end up getting a shot. And we
(31:40):
don't need that. We don't need any more of that now.
I don't care if you're shot, you're beaten with. Any
physical attack on you is a bad thing. But people
just don't know how to They don't know how to disagree,
They don't know how to come to an impasse without
striking out In islands anymore, guns, knives, baseball bats, doesn't matter.
(32:05):
Hurting somebody is just far too easy for far too
many people. So if it's not, like I said, affecting
your family or you know, some criminal act that you
must put a stop to. If it's just somebody being
an idiot, let them be an idiot. They're driving way
(32:26):
too fast. Don't be that dummy that gets over in
front of them to make them slow down. Just let
them drive fast and get the help ast you and
away for your family in your car. Let them go.
They'll wreck up there eventually. But we just we no
longer live in a world where you can say, hey, man,
that's stupid. Don't do that, because there are crazy people
(32:47):
among us, and I don't need to wake up to
any more stories like this none of us do. Or
maybe that's just me again. You're welcome to follow me
on the social media. I would love to interact with you,
as long as you're not half goofy. If you are
half Goofy, Zach would love to interact with you on
his pages.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
I need some business for my lawnmower.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
His stock is soaring. I noticed today it's reached almost
fifteen cents of share.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
It's climbing.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
It is climbing quickly. And it's what's the name of
the business again.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Zach Attack propelled lawnmower business.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
And you you obviously you know absolutely nothing about propelled lawnmowers.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Right.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I fixed mine?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
You did it? I did? Would you do? Put gas
in it?
Speaker 3 (33:27):
There's it wouldn't start.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
And so I opened the cover and there was a
spring there, uh huh, and it was wasn't connected to anything.
And there's this like lever that I could touch and move.
Speaker 7 (33:38):
Back and forth, throttle cable maybe whatever, So that I
put the spring whatever against the lever and then it
connected to some part of the metal proof it started
right up.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Okay, that's where the business came.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
If you want to buy stock in Zach's company, just
you know, wait until it becomes real and you can.
And uh, I don't want to. I don't want to.
I don't want to quoteity, but I must say, let
not your heart be troubled. As I am looking at
more of these poll numbers, Harris leading Trump here, Harris
leading Trump there, thousands turnout to guys. We're being we're
(34:12):
we're being gaslighted. That's the popular phrase today. Gaslighted. Don't
believe the hype. Remain diligent. Talk to friends, family, neighbors, whatever.
Put those signs in your yard, put that flag up,
do it and vote. Vote early if you can, because
I'm telling you this monkey pox thing. My gut tells
me they're going to find a way to slow us
(34:33):
down with another pandemic. Take advantage of what's available to you.
I gotta get out of here. We'll do it again
tomorrow night at six o'clock. I hope you will join
me here for the Power Hour on six ten WTVN.
Greeting salutations. Welcome my friends to another edition of The
Power Hour. This is six ' ten DOUBTV and I'm
Check Douglas. You know who you are. We take it
from there. We get one hour together, which means I
talk really fast. You must listen even faster. My number
area code six one for A two one nine eight
eighty six A two one dou WTV in or one
eight hundred and six ' ten dou WTV. And if
(00:22):
I like your fuse during the show, get a line,
grab a line. I will do everything I can to
get you on, which I failed at last night. By
the way, I'm sorry, but you guys all wait until
the second half of the show to call. And I
actually left this room last night. I feel terrible about
it with a screen full of people trying to get on,
(00:42):
and Zach and I both lamented after the show man,
it's it, you know, I have the time that I have.
It is what it is. And if you wait until
you know fifteen till to call up, I'm not gonna
get you in. It's just I'll do my best for
everybody that gets in early on, but I can't. There
are just some things logistically that cannot be done. Sean
(01:03):
Hennedy comes up after I get off, and that has
to be timed out. Zach has to make sure everything
is where it's supposed to be down to the second
in order for that to happen. So don't be angry
at me. I'll do my best always to get you on.
So that being said, I've been telling you and I'm good.
I'll talk about the thing I had in the probo
(01:24):
about the Kamala Harris of stuff that came out. But
this is more important to me because I am live
and local, and I like live and local stuff. This
is my hometown. I like to make sure that we
are all aware of what's going on here. So yesterday
I spoke about Mayor Andy Gentther Andrew Ginther. I don't
even know what he prefers. I think Andy, I'm not positive,
(01:45):
but he spent seventeen minutes yesterday saying nothing about this
cyber attack. I mean, he talked, words came out of
his mouth, but he really did not say anything of
any consequence except for the fact that you know, it
was encrypted and they weren't able to use it, and uh,
you know, not so much the case, not so much
(02:09):
the case. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna commend
Channel ten over there Tera Jibor at Channel ten for
doing a story Tuesday morning. Columbus me or Andy Getter
said the data posted by hackers on the dark web
was not usable. He said it was not usable. He
said it was not usable because it was encrypted or corrupted. However,
a cyber security expert not only said that's not true,
(02:30):
but revealed what personal information is available. Cyber security expert
Connor good Wolf It's a name he chose for this interview,
not his legal name. He said, the personal data one
hundreds of thousands of private citizens is now on the
dark web. Those citizens are anybody listen to me now, people,
(02:51):
I need some church music because Chuck's about to preach,
he said. Anyone who swiped their driver's license at city
Hall in the last past ten years. If you wanted
to go to a council meeting or had a meeting
with a council person, or trying to get into see
the may or anything like that, you had to swipe.
It includes anyone who's dealt with the Columbus City Attorney's
prosecuting office in any way. That means whether you have
(03:12):
filed charges or whether you were being charged with something.
They got you. I called the other day to get
a copy of my water bill. They needed the last
four digits of my social Security number. Any way, including victims, suspects,
or someone who was subpoened by the court or law enforcement.
Goodwolf downloaded servers from the City of Columbus and showed
(03:33):
ten TV personal information. He said. When he heard about
the data being hacked for the city, he went to
the dark web to see what he could find. I said,
let's take a look. I saw the prosecutor's database on there,
so I was like, this isn't good. They contained private information.
They contained social security numbers. They contained addresses of individuals,
especially people at risk in this situation, victims of domestic violence, rape,
(03:55):
and other heinous crimes. Their private information is now public information.
I told you people this. I told you two weeks
ago when we first started getting a whiff of this story.
I told you there's no way it was limited to
(04:15):
a couple of cops. Then it became more cops, then
it became firefighters. I told you, if you've paid a ticket,
paid taxes, paid a water bill, had any interaction with
the City of Columbus. You were in a computer somewhere.
I told you. This guy told ten TV it did
(04:36):
not take him long to find the data. He said
he downloaded the twenty two gigabyte twenty two gigabytes of
data from the prosecutor's office in three to six hours.
He found his legal name on that database. He said.
I felt vulnerable, sick to my stomach. I'm just a
cybersecurity expert. My thoughts are the city is ignorant and
(04:56):
negligent to levels of criminality. You know I'm gonna agree
because because once again they're doing the officer Barb Brady.
Nothing to see here, move along, just move along, there
is something to see here. I was all with Mike
la this morning on Columbus This Morning News here on
six ten the old UTV, and I think I threw
(05:17):
him for a loop because I said, if I were
Andy Gentther Andrew Gether mayor Geinther, if I were geinther
In this same predicament, here's what I would have done.
Called up all the news people, said, come on in,
I got to do a press conference, because they do
that very rarely unless they're throwing money away on something.
(05:38):
I would have called the news conference, brought everybody in
and said, here's the deal. We have been attacked by
cyber terrorists. They have seized information from the city database.
They have lots of information, and they are threatening to
put it on the dark web, make it available to
anybody who wants to buy it if we do not
pay them two million dollars. After careful consideration, I have
(06:00):
decided to pay the two million dollars instead of spending
twenty million dollars to go in and try to fix
what I allow them to screw up, because I want
to be a hardhead, Right, mister mayor, What if they
take your money and then they don't give the information back?
Think about this. People. Their job, as the mayor himself
(06:23):
pointed out yesterday, this is happening to cities all over
the country. Their job is to get you to pay.
If they take the money from Columbus, Ohio and then
they do not return the information they stole from Columbus, Ohio,
do you think Cleveland, Ohio is going to pay them?
Or Chicago, Illinois, or Las Vegas, Nevada, or New York
(06:44):
a hell of a town. Do you think anybody else
is going to pay them? If they don't keep their
word to us. Of course not, they would be putting
themselves out of their cyber terror business. Two million dollars
would have been a cheap fix. And uh, I'm telling
you that the lawsuits now are going to grow as well.
(07:05):
It's not right now you've got public employees. As soon
as a member of the public suffers detrimental effects because
their information at the City of Columbus was shared on
the dark web, there will be lawsuits citizens will file.
There will be class action lawsuits from citizens. You think
I'm wrong, Zach, You think I'm right? What do you
(07:26):
think you've got a beard? You tell me?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I think that they could still take the information and
sell it regardless. They're going to make money either way.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I see. I don't think they will because there's more
money to be made by getting the cities to pay
the black mail.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I get you.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I don't know because that's a black I don't know
how much money they can get for selling that information.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
You'm not racist, by the way, blackmail, now that I
think about it, I'm just saying, would if it was,
would it be? Do you call the good stuff white? Male?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I don't know the et homology of blackmail?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Where did that come from? I'll probably be black balled
for bringing that. Oh, I can't believe I said that.
I'm man a two one A two one w TV
and let's get a couple in here, shall we. Uh? Dave,
you are on the Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone lines?
Speaker 5 (08:09):
How are you great? How are you this evening?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I am slightly twisted otherwise.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Well, welcome to the club. I just got done telling
Zach I said, I have a perfect solution for you
to be able to get.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
To all your phone callers, and that would be.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
We need to get w TVN needs to give you
a three hour show.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, good luck with that. Well, who ain't gonna bump?
Nobody's getting bumped. I don't. I don't think. I don't think, uh,
you know, the Clay and Buck are gonna get bumped.
I don't think Hannity's gonna get bumped. Blazer and I
have known each other for a long time and we'd
wrestle in the parking lot, but he ended up winning
(08:51):
because I'm old and and and you know, Mike's not
going anywhere in the morning. So unless you you don't
want any more Art and Bell there's no place to
put me.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I just I don't care to listen all the talking heads.
I listened in the morning, I listened in the afternoon.
Once you're done, I go right back to other stuff.
I wish we was all local radio here instead of
all this talking political talking head stuff. But I don't
think I'm ever gonna get my way.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah, well probably not, none of us ever do. But hey, Dave,
I appreciate you, buddy, thanks very much for being there
when you are. You are appreciated. I mean that, every
single one of you, even you not heads that interact
with me on social media. I appreciate you. I do
well most of you. There's a couple of people, but
I'm just saying A two ninety eighty six, A two
y WTV and John, you're on the Legacy Retirement Group
(09:38):
dot com phone lines. How are you? My doctor has
not warned me of anything, so I'm going with good.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
There you go. So tell me gif Or doesn't sound
like Kamalia.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Well, I don't know. He's he's a little. I don't know,
he's a little what's the word I'm looking for. Eva.
Although he talks a lot, he doesn't say much when
he does, and I would say that they have those
what was the phrase against Zach, So we can be
unbounded by the by the scooters of what was it.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Unburdened by treus of the of the scooters tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Or something like that. Yeah, so she's you know in
that respect. Yeah, their mouth goes and words come out,
but I never really hear anything.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Yeah, it's it's unbelievable. But you know what, people buy
it and it's getting ridiculous. It's it's crazy. Please go
out and the road. I'm starting, you know what, here's
the whole thing, Chuck, I'm starting to get scared. I'm
really starting to get scared. You look at some of
(10:45):
these holes that are legit, not the not the crap
they throw on the internet. But we got to get
help care and vote because I'm telling you what it's
it's going to be closer than what people think.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I just let's put up on my Facebook page today
a reminder to take advantage of early voting. Because now
the World Health Organization, and we know how much we
love them, now they're bringing back the monkey pocks, except
they call it impops now because it was offensive to monkeys.
And so now it's the impos but now they're trying
to make that into an international pandemic. Don't be surprised
(11:20):
if come election time people can't go to the polls
and vote because of a pandemic. I'm telling you, early vote,
early vote. You've been beaten with that stick for years.
It's time you start swinging it back.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Please, please, please, please please. I love you, Chuck. Keep
doing what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Man, Thank you.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
You need a four hour show, and you know what.
I love coast to coast, but you know what, I'll
take you a coast to coast any day.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Oh, bless your heart. You don't want me in here
in the middle of the night though you think I'm
weird during daylight hours. Oh, you don't want to see
what happens to me in the middle of the night.
I grow horns and all kinds of stuff. Steve, you're
on six ten TV and hike right.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
I think I got an answer for you. It's trojan
horse virus. I don't think they take them out of there.
They get them out of there completely. Stuff. You pay
that ransom. What's to stop them from shutting everything down
against stealing more information and then holding out for ransom.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Oh, there's nothing to stop them except your efforts. I mean,
once you know what your vulnerabilities are, you patch those holes.
The trouble is there will always be another vulnerability. We
are a computer society, and no matter I mean, I
don't know. Are you a Microsoft guy? Do you have
a Windows PC?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Well? I used to, but.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
There's security patches every fifteen minutes, it seems like because
uh and for the longest time, quite frankly, I thought
Steve Jobs was behind them, because Apple never seemed to
have problems with viruses, but Microsoft always did.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Could be true. I've got a friend who got downloaded something,
you know, probably surfing enough site you probably shouldn't have
been serving, accidentally downloaded something, and it's tells him when
you got this mauntware, call this number to get it fixed.
And he calls the number, and of course they charge him,
(13:12):
and then uh, they say, okay, it's all fixed down.
Then a couple months later pops up again and he's
got to call that number. Okay, he's got to pay again.
And I'm like, here's your problem. You're paying these hackers.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yeah, and if you're not fixing whatever they got in
through whichever window they came through, then you are just
allowing them to crawl through it again. You have to
fix the problem. And uh, you know, some of the
best good guys you can hire are former bad guys.
I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
what has been. I will be unburdened by trafficking weather
(13:48):
together right now from day and night, heating and cooling
products and deal mechanical. What's it look like? And darling, alrighty,
then we're twenty six minutes past six o'clock the power
hour on six to ten double UTV in the number
eight two one nine eight eighty six eight two one
(14:08):
double UTVN right now talking about Gintheruring Company. He knows
Columbus City Council members are all very quiet about this.
I don't know that I've seen any of them speak out.
It's everybody just kind of standing you go right, I have,
mister mayor, go right, go right on in there. I
don't see any of them speaking out. That's a bad sign.
(14:29):
When your troops leave the battlefield, you're out there with
one horse, one spear, and an approaching army. Never ever
a good sign. Also during the break here, just reading
a couple of stupid things, one of which is, uh,
they've got a rendition here of an artistic rendition of
Bobby Hill, who is going to be twenty one years old.
They are rebooting King of the Hill. Hulu is going
(14:51):
to carry it. Bobby, Bobby looks like Hank, and Hank
looks like an older Hank. Just say him so A
two one nine eight eighty six number eight two one
wutvn oh man? Damn where Dan go? I put my
finger on Dan's button, and there's nothing dirty about that.
And then I look over and he's gone, all right, Dan,
I don't know what. I think he was calling to
give me something about get there. But that's fine. If
(15:13):
you weren't with me at the beginning of the show,
first of all, shame on you. I contend that we
should have paid the two million dollar ransom. I contend
that we will pay more in now trying to put
back together, figure out protect for the future, and all
that kind of stuff, and the fact that the mayor
has since the very beginning. First it was nothing, it's
(15:35):
nothing at all. Well it's something, but it's just a
little something. Okay, Well it's more than a little something.
It's a bigger sing. Oh lawsuits from the police, well
just just a couple, oh lawsuits from the fire department
to just a couple and now we find out just
tons of information. Good job ten TV for getting that
(15:56):
cybersecurity expert in there and showing just how many people
are affected by this breach. They say, anybody who swiped
their driver's license to get into city hall is in
the database. I say, if you pay a water bill,
you're in the database. If you had a traffic ticket,
you're in the database. If you've been a criminal or
a complainant with the prosecutor's office, you're in the database.
(16:19):
And your database is on the dark web. Keep an
eye on your checking accounts and start changing passwords. Now,
that is the best advice I can give you. Let's
get a final check here of the traffic situation out
on our highways and our byways from day and night.
Heating and cooling products and deal mechanical, how's it looking?
(16:42):
And six thirty four. I just I don't know, man,
I just I said I should not read stuff during
the breaks because it just makes me. It just makes
me nuts. Some of the stuff that is out here.
It just makes me nuts. And again the social media thing.
(17:02):
As I was saying in the last segment, if it
weren't for being able to stay in touch with most
of you, I would not be on social media. And
there are a few that make me nuts. Blazer and
I were just talking before he left the room and
I came into the room this afternoon about the fact
that you know, there are people who consistently, by the way,
it's not just like once in every bloom, they consistently
(17:26):
will they'll like commando a post I put something up
there that has you know, well, let's say it was
about the cybersecurity breach here in Columbus, Okay, And somehow,
some way they will turn it into a Kamala Harris
thing or Donald Trump thing, or a story about you know,
(17:46):
how a horse kicked them when they were a child
or whatever. They just they completely out of left field,
has nothing at all to do with whatever has been posted.
They just decide here's what I want to talk about.
Or I'll post something and say, okay, now, I don't
want you to answer this on the Facebook, on the Twitter,
or on the Instagram or on the TikTok, or we'll
(18:07):
talk about it on the air. Never fails. They start
doing it. I said, no, don't do it. I want
to save it for the air. They start answering there.
Or I'll say, give me a single example of the best,
the best pizza you ever had, and somebody will list
forty eight pizza joints they visited in their life, and yeah,
(18:31):
it gets frustrating. I mean, it's not like I'm angry.
I'm gonna show up at your house and yell at
you or anything. But I don't understand why people do that.
It's just frustrating some of them. I especially those that
have been around for a long while, have been following me,
you know, station the station over the years or whatever.
I've actually sent them messages and said, you know, don't
(18:51):
do that. Don't do that, don't put up, you know,
a commercial for your business unless you ask me first. Hey,
this is my page when I come in here and
I open my mouth and I talk about stuff. This
is what I'm doing for a living, and the page
is just an extension of what I do on the air.
So please don't get free commercials if you want to
(19:13):
advertise your a locally owned business or something like that.
Somebody that's been with me and supported me over the years.
The chances are I'm going to say, yeah, but if
you just pop something in there, or here's my cousin's,
you know, concrete business in Butte, Montana, I know, don't
do that. Those who have sent me things this this
(19:34):
one really gets me. I was listening to such and
such on so and so, and they were saying, do
you send them notes to say you were listening to
me on six ' ten WTV, And and here's what
I said, that's an honest question. Come into my page
to promote somebody else, somewhere else doing something that is,
(19:54):
you know, in some cases, directly opposed to what I'm doing. Well,
that's not cool at all. Now you can follow those
rules and not make me crazy. Feel free to follow me.
I'm on Facebook. Just look up Chuck Douglas a big
melon head picture wearing a blue suit. On Instagram and
Twitter it is Chuck d Talker, and on TikTok it
is Chuck Douglas talker. I think that's right. Zach is
(20:16):
supposed to keep track of that stuff for me, and
he never does.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
I WHOA, what huh? I'm not supposed to have anything
to do with your search.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yes, you are. I don't. Didn't you read your doctor
that's your job description. Are you gonna tell me it's
not your job description? Now, Veronica, are you here?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Silence, No, that is not my job.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
First Energy will pay twenty million dollars to avoid prosecution
in the Ohio bribery screen screen, screen? Did I say, screen? Yes?
I did. I said scream wow in the Ohio bribery scheme,
I said, screen. Let me just say, that's a pittance.
That's a pittance, twenty million dollars a pittance nothing. I
(21:06):
do not excuse anyone in the individuals or entities for
that bs that they pulled on the people of the
state of Ohio. A billion dollars thrown into political pockets
in order to get your way, to get legislation passed,
to get politicians who are supposed to stand up for
us to stand out of your way so that you
could forge ahead with your business plan. Twenty million dollars
(21:29):
that ain't enough to buy a cup of coffee in
this case. I don't know how how they how they
arrived at a twenty million dollar figure, but quite frankly,
I'm offended by that you remembered the Trump trial in
New York. What was it, eight hundred and fifty million
dollars they wanted to give him for a bond, Donald
(21:50):
Trump would they want They got it lowered to three fifty,
but still eight hundred and fifty And this corporate entity
that tried to corrupt the process in the state of
Ohio thought they could skate get away with it twenty
million dollars. That's nothing, absolutely nothing. I was just going
(22:13):
back to through the Gifther stories here on the cyber attack.
This one, this one actually came from yesterday. So this
is the update that I was just ranting and raving
about the update from yesterday. I'm still in the ten
TV sit. Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther provided an update to
the city's ongoing battle with the cyber attack, saying the
data is stolen by hackers was either corrupted or encrypted,
meaning it was likely useless. According to a fact sheet
(22:34):
published by the city on Tuesday, where's his little quote here,
which was you know that nothing to say. Here we
go the threat actor. They keep coming up with names,
the threat actor, the cyberpunks use cyberpunks. Well, yeah, the
threat actor claimed to have six point five terabytes of data,
but our forensics indicate they have far less. Oh, I'm
(22:58):
much more comfortable now. I believe the screenshots of the
data files are the most compelling asset that they had.
What's he's saying, The pictures of what they had are
the most compelled, and the sensitive files were either encrypted
or corrupted, making them totally unusable. That's what he said
yesterday and was proven wrong today. This is why I'm saying,
(23:20):
change your passwords, change everything, change everything.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Not to cut it. I don't mean to make a joke,
but being totally serious. Do you think if they.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Like if that, if they try it again to try
to hack anything of Columbus, that they could take the
food carts out after midnight that that could help.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I think if we limited the food carts to only
like between nine and nine fifteen pm, if their operation,
that would solve the cybersecurity problem.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I'm just trying to help and throw ideas out.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
And we could get the cyber terrorists to join a
cyber midnight basketball league, which I think would really really
clean up the Internet. I mean that could end all
kinds of things, cyber ransom, the whole human trafficking thing
will come to a complete halt. They keep fixing things
with stuff that doesn't fix anything. I don't get you, people,
(24:13):
I don't get you. In case you missed it in
the news headlines with Grumbley, the bond was set for
the officer in Blendon Township. And you know, as I
said yesterday, I find it hard to believe there's even
multiple indictments here. But the judge gave officer grub a
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars cash or surty bond,
(24:36):
as well as a twenty five thousand dollars recognissance bond.
So I'm not sure how much money needs to go.
You'd have to pay twenty five thousand dollars or ten
percent to get the surety bond Right now, I don't
know what the recognissance bond for twenty five thousand is.
(24:57):
Recognissance is the word recognized when you released on your
own recognisance? Is that means you are released because the
court recognizes who you are?
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Right?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Am I misreading this? The word recognisance is from recognize?
So what is a twenty five thousand dollars recognisance bond?
They're charging you because they know who you are. Here's
a fee because we know who you are. And why
is it in addition to the two hundred and fifty
(25:28):
thousand dollars cash or surety bond after he's not guilty. Please,
I again, the numbers are lower than I expected here,
But I don't understand the complication of the process. Why
do we need two different types of bonds? I'm just
I don't know. And and well, I won't go well,
(25:51):
let this thing play out for a while, but I
will contend that it's it is stupid that this officer
has been indicted. Is unfortunate that the young woman made
the choices that she made that day, that she lost
her life in the process. But to indict a police
officer for involuntary manslaughter and murder, how the hell you
can do both at the same time. As beyond me,
(26:13):
because he went out there and was doing his job.
As I said yesterday, it's just beyond me. I did
get what one guy who I don't I don't know
if he was arguing or not. I'm still I went
home last night and I was probably spent two hours
trying to figure out that call. Was it Tim or Tom?
Yesterday it was Doug. I think Doug.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
He was arguing with you.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Just just and he kept saying, and I was trying.
I listened back to the show last night, trying to
figure out what he was trying to say. They didn't
need to do anything because they had pictures of her
stealing the liquor from the store. And I don't know
what that meant. I'm not able to grasp. Okay, so
(26:53):
they had pictures, so what And he said something about, well,
you could put the pictures in the newspaper. So what,
you committed a crime, you get arrested, you go to jail.
And it seemed to me that he was trying to
say that, you know, well, if her picture was published
and she wasn't allowed to come back in the store,
(27:14):
that was enough. I'm sorry, I don't I don't understand that.
And I did try. I did. I made a sincere
effort to listen to the call. I did it several times,
and I sat thinking, considering, translating, deciphering, doing everything I
(27:37):
could to come up with what the guy was trying
to say.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Well, I think you're overthinking it, because he said, you
don't arrest somebody who's leaving the scene of a crime.
You wait till they come back, and then you still
don't arrest them.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
And then but you have a picture of them.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
You have a picture of them. Yeah, So what more
do you want? What don't you understand, Chuck.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I, that's just it. I don't understand any of that.
And I felt bad, honestly for not understanding because I
think I think he was trying to make a point.
And I seriously do try to be fair with people.
I have always said, you know, I will debate, disgust,
disagree as long as it's respectful. You call up and
you have a differing opinion, fine, we'll talk about it.
(28:21):
I won't be you know, yelled at or talked over
or mistreated. I'll give you your opportunity to speak, you
give me mine, and that's a conversation. I'm good with that.
But I have to understand the basis of the conversation.
And last night I failed at that. Last night I failed.
I consider myself a pretty pretty decent interpreter when I'm
(28:44):
getting and I didn't last night. Just terrible. Also, I
got to say this, I woke up this morning and
flipped on the television news before I get in the
car with my radio. That's I generally keep the TV
news on and I was sad the UDF store over
(29:06):
on my beloved west side of Climb and Endemorist, which
is comparatively a pretty nice store, you know. Well, I
say comparatively, I mean with the other stores around there,
the other UDFs, it feels a little more suburban and
it's you know, large lots and lots of gas pumps
(29:28):
and plenty of activity. And the first thing I hear
this morning is I think he was seventeen year old
that was killed over there. And apparently this came out
of a road rage incident with a thirty year old man,
and they caught the guy about an hour later. I
don't know who this young man was, who his family was.
(29:52):
I'm just I'm sorry that we are so out of
control as a society that that that happened. I'm starting
to take things really, really personally on that side of town,
because we should be better overall, and because that's, you know,
(30:13):
my home, I take it personally. So do this for
me as we part ways this evening. You don't have
to be overly nice. You don't have to be sacharine sweet,
you don't have to be sugar coated. You don't have
to take guff from anybody that wants to treat you badly,
But don't go out of your way to get angry
(30:33):
or upset about stuff. Sometimes, Really, what's it matter? I
have this conversation with my grandsons all the time. Well,
he said that I sow, but he said that I
know no. What does it matter? What if he said
(30:55):
that you were a tutu wearing ballerina from the planet Zorgon,
are you no? Then his words didn't matter? Did they?
Let people be as stupid as they want to be
unless it is directly impacting you somehow, some way negatively
affecting your life, your existence, your family. Just walk on by.
(31:20):
Put Dion Warwick on if you must, But walk on by,
because these days in this world, opening your mouth and
saying something because you feel the need when it's not
affecting you can't end up getting a shot. And we
(31:40):
don't need that. We don't need any more of that now.
I don't care if you're shot, you're beaten with. Any
physical attack on you is a bad thing. But people
just don't know how to They don't know how to disagree,
They don't know how to come to an impasse without
striking out In islands anymore, guns, knives, baseball bats, doesn't matter.
(32:05):
Hurting somebody is just far too easy for far too
many people. So if it's not, like I said, affecting
your family or you know, some criminal act that you
must put a stop to. If it's just somebody being
an idiot, let them be an idiot. They're driving way
(32:26):
too fast. Don't be that dummy that gets over in
front of them to make them slow down. Just let
them drive fast and get the help ast you and
away for your family in your car. Let them go.
They'll wreck up there eventually. But we just we no
longer live in a world where you can say, hey, man,
that's stupid. Don't do that, because there are crazy people
(32:47):
among us, and I don't need to wake up to
any more stories like this none of us do. Or
maybe that's just me again. You're welcome to follow me
on the social media. I would love to interact with you,
as long as you're not half goofy. If you are
half Goofy, Zach would love to interact with you on
his pages.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
I need some business for my lawnmower.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
His stock is soaring. I noticed today it's reached almost
fifteen cents of share.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
It's climbing.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
It is climbing quickly. And it's what's the name of
the business again.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Zach Attack propelled lawnmower business.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
And you you obviously you know absolutely nothing about propelled lawnmowers.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Right.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I fixed mine?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
You did it? I did? Would you do? Put gas
in it?
Speaker 3 (33:27):
There's it wouldn't start.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
And so I opened the cover and there was a
spring there, uh huh, and it was wasn't connected to anything.
And there's this like lever that I could touch and move.
Speaker 7 (33:38):
Back and forth, throttle cable maybe whatever, So that I
put the spring whatever against the lever and then it
connected to some part of the metal proof it started
right up.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Okay, that's where the business came.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
If you want to buy stock in Zach's company, just
you know, wait until it becomes real and you can.
And uh, I don't want to. I don't want to.
I don't want to quoteity, but I must say, let
not your heart be troubled. As I am looking at
more of these poll numbers, Harris leading Trump here, Harris
leading Trump there, thousands turnout to guys. We're being we're
(34:12):
we're being gaslighted. That's the popular phrase today. Gaslighted. Don't
believe the hype. Remain diligent. Talk to friends, family, neighbors, whatever.
Put those signs in your yard, put that flag up,
do it and vote. Vote early if you can, because
I'm telling you this monkey pox thing. My gut tells
me they're going to find a way to slow us
(34:33):
down with another pandemic. Take advantage of what's available to you.
I gotta get out of here. We'll do it again
tomorrow night at six o'clock. I hope you will join
me here for the Power Hour on six ten WTVN.
