(00:00):
Originating from the iHeartMedia Megaplex and Columbus, Ohio, the studios of six'
ten WTVN. This is the ChuckDouglas Power Our Podcast. Anybody who knows
me, anybody who knows anything aboutanybody who's listened to me on the air,
or read anything I've written or ison my Facebook page or whatever,
you know. I am a sternperson when it comes to the protection of
(00:22):
our elderly, our veterans, andmost especially our children. So anytime there
is a dirtball story about somebody takingadvantage of a child, misusing a child,
abusing a child, I will bringit to here's the problem. It
seems like lately. And when Isay lately, I mean the last couple
of years. You know the oldstories about the male teachers doing things to
(00:45):
female students and they were the scourgeof society. Man, we hated him,
We absolutely hated him. But there'sbeen a change in the direction of
those stories in the past couple ofyears. And I'm sure you've noticed it
because you can't get away from them. I'm talking about young, relatively decent
and in some cases absolutely hot,female teachers taking advantage of male students.
(01:07):
And I have yet another one foryou today. I'm gonna share that in
the moment. But here's here's whatI have to get straightened out. First.
These kids are victims. They arevictims. I know. You see,
we're still we're still. We thinkwe're advanced. We think that we
you know, it's well, it'stwenty twenty three. We don't see things
the way we're used to. We'renot the puritechnical society were used to be
(01:30):
because you know, we're trying tomeld the genders and not have a gender.
And you can identify as a Barcolounger if you want to and all
that kind of stuff. But akid is a kid. I don't care
if it's a male kid. Iknow. I know that a fourteen,
fifteen, sixteen year old boy isprobably pounding his chest and doing the Tarzan
call. I understand that that's hormones, that's testosterone, that is puberty making
(01:52):
him stupid. He should not bemisused by an adult female when he's a
teenager. It's wrong. It's wrong. If he's male, it's wrong.
If he's female, it is wrong. It's just that simple. I understand
that perhaps females may be more traumatizedbecause there is, whether we like it
or not, a longer lasting biologicalimpact on a female having sex as a
(02:15):
teenager more so than there is amale. That's just that's the fact of
life. Yes, a male couldvery well become a father, and in
one case with one teacher, hedid recently. But once a female has
had that physical relationship, I thinkpersonally this is something that sticks with them
(02:38):
a lot more than it does withthe male. So there are plenty of
people out there who say, well, yeah, but you know it doesn't
affect guys, And I get thebasis of what you're saying, but I'm
bringing you back, go get pastthe machismo crap and get back to the
reality. A child is a childis a child is a child and should
not be misused. Our country isin serian trouble. Ricky Lynn Laughlin twenty
(03:01):
five years of age. And I'vegot to tell you right, honestly,
just straight to your ears right now. She's not just a cute woman,
she's not just an attractive woman.She is gorgeous. She is dropped dead.
Oh my gosh, look over there, do you see what I see?
Guargeous? And she's also a dirtball. A Missouri special education teacher
(03:22):
facing criminal charges now over an allegedrelationship with a sixteen year old boy.
She's accused of one count each possessionof child pornography, tampering with a witness,
tampering with physical evidence, attempted statutoryrape in the second degree, promoting
obscenity in the first degree, andfurnishing pornographic materials to a minor. And
(03:46):
again, I don't want to bestereotypical here. I don't want to say
anything offensive. I just try toobserve the reality of life. They don't
identify the victim in this story asbeing or not being one of her students.
But if it is indeed one ofher studenttudents, a Missouri special education
teacher, that is not only saltin the wound, that is hydrochloric acid
(04:09):
in the wound. You might remembera couple of years ago that knockout gain
that was all over. Was itTikTok? I think TikTok was propagating it
where people would just come up onthe street and out of nowhere, no
reason, no warning, no nothing, just wallop somebody an attempt to knock
them out with one punch is whatit was. Well, apparently that is
back. And not only is thefact that that's back offensive to my sensibilities.
(04:32):
But just this guy, this guythat they arrested in Florida for the
for doing this. I really,dude, really listen to this. Okay,
completely random. Now, guy admitsto randomly sucker punching strangers at a
it was Texas, at a Texaspark for social media attention. He just
(04:55):
wanted to see me, see me, see me. That's everybody's problem,
see me, see pay attention tome, even the oh, I have
absolutely nothing to offer to benefit society, Pay attention to me, and then
when I'm done, give me atrophy. That's way too many people under
forty anymore. Young people are justthey're obsessed with being seen. They think
if they get on the internet andsay I like product, take it,
(05:16):
good fight, they will get millionsof dollars. They think they're all Cardassians
in the making. Sorry, that'snot how it works. Houston, Texas,
The Harris County Sheriff's Office is investigatinga disturbing video posted on social media
allowing someone or showing someone punching peoplein the Harris County Park. The video
(05:38):
was posted on nextdoor by someone whohad seen it on a different platform,
So a reporter from KHOU Channel elevenNews, Jason Miles, was actually able
to find the guy in the videothat was coming up behind people and clocking
them in the park. And I'mgonna take some audio here from the KHOU
story and thanks Jason courtesy for that. But listen, listen to what this
(06:00):
g oh can have a father wholoves your that's the problem. His mother
and father are referenced in the story. It's not like it's a nice suburban
neighborhood he lives in. Listen,listen, listen to what he had to
say in defense of himself. Iknow, like from the video, all
you see is like the bad partabout it. But what people didn't see
(06:26):
was that I shook his hand afterand how I had gave the man a
hug. He is nineteen years old. He comes from a two parent family.
He lives in what looks to bea suburban neighborhood. I don't care
if he's been in trouble or not. I don't care what kind of grades
he gets. I don't care ifhe goes to church. He's guilty as
sin. It's on the video.Throw the book at him, and throw
the book at all people who doit in the future, and that is
the way you make things stop.Make there be I know this sounds so
(06:50):
crazy, This sounds so ridiculously crazy. Make there be a price to be
paid for your mouth seasons as acitizen, and perhaps people will be better
citizens. Or maybe that's just me. I've got the strangest feeling someone's going
to kick his ass here in thestate of Ohio. This has made national
(07:11):
news, lots of people talking aboutit around the country. That is our
statewide ballot initiatives for actually amendments toour state constitution. Issue one an issue
too. And what they are Issueone is it's being marketed, if you
will, as an abortion bill.It's all about abortion, and it's really
not all about abortion. What itis is about the agenda of those who
(07:36):
want to first of all, getrid of what is called the heartbeat Bill
in the state of Ohio, orthe heartbeat law, which means that once
a heartbeat is established, it's consideredlife. It's no longer just a fetus,
it's no longer just a gathering ofcells. It's considered life and at
that point, that's where the specialcircumstances obviously have to be met before you
(07:59):
could have an abortion. They wantto change that to the point where the
point of viability of the fetus wingcan the fetus survive outside of the womb
as an individual? Which is verysubjective. It is very subjective. We've
all seen that. You know,there's there's no steadfast rule is about when
(08:20):
that time comes. The problem withIssue one is not truly is not the
abortion debate. That should be itsown debate. Issue one uses a number
of words that are very subjective,very open ended. They refer to the
individual, not to the woman,not to the adult, but to the
individual, which could mean your tenyear old, it could and they are
(08:43):
reproductive choices, which could mean abortion. It could also mean the elimination of
your penis if you were born amale child. If your ten year old
male child decides they want to eliminatetheir their appendage and be, you know,
become a girl or a peer asa girl, that that nobody can
interfere with that, No parent,no government, nobody can interfere with that.
(09:05):
If you're a ten year old decidesthat's the route to take and that
is a big fear of a lotof people. Now there are plenty of
people who are in favor of Issueone who are saying that is not what
that means. And you know it. Here's the point. It doesn't matter
what it means. It matters whatit says, and if you vote on
it for what it says, howit is utilized in the future is completely
(09:30):
up to the people doing the utilizing. The language is not concise, and
it must be, first of all, because it's an amendment to the state
Constitution. Secondly, because we aretalking about one of the most significant things
that can be talked about, andthat is the welfare and the safety of
young people. We don't need youngpeople arbitrarily making decisions to try to change
(09:56):
their gender, to look like somethingelse, to identify as something else.
That not when you're a kid,not when you're a teenager. That's not
the time to make those decisions.Once you have reached the age and majority
in the state of Ohio, thatbeing eighteen, then what you do is
your business. But until that point, you need to be protected as and
(10:18):
treated as and classified as a child. And if children were allowed to be
children instead of trying to be forcedinto adulthood. Perhaps adults would be better
than what they have become. SoIssue one is a big deal and it
will unfortunately likely pass. I willbe a no vote, but I will
(10:41):
be alone. Issue too, thelegalization of marijuana in the state of Ohio
for recreational use. On this one, let me, I gotta take you
to church, all right. Look, we are looking at the legalization of
medical marijuana. We've already got themedical maror we're looking at recreational marijuana.
(11:05):
I don't have a problem with theTHC. Do not have a problem people
that would rather get high than getdrunk. If you can go home and
have a couple of martinis after workinstead, that's fine. If you go
home and you want to have someTHC, I don't care about that either.
Here's the thing. I hate thesmell. This is just a personal
thing. I hate the smell.If we were legalizing gummies and brownies and
(11:26):
so forth, I wouldn't care.I hate the smell. And people say,
well, you know your cigarettes havea smell, because yeah, I
smoke cigarettes. I smoke legal cigaretteslike a freight train. I smoke.
And people say, well, yourcigarettes, there's some people that don't like
the smell of cigarettes. Here's thedifference. When I walk into a room,
people on the other side of theroom don't go ice smell sagar wretch.
(11:48):
But if somebody in my zip codehas been sitting in the car blowing
a joint, I know it themoment they enter the zip code. It's
just it's it's an overwhelming, overbearing, obnoxious smell. I personally hate it.
That being said, my hates havenothing to do with the legal decision.
My worries about the legal decision areas follows. First of all,
(12:11):
it remains illegal at the federal level. Think about this, It remains illegal
at the federal level. How manyfederal laws do we see not being enforced,
especially when it comes to things likeimmigration protecting our borders. Yeah,
hey, we don't bother an enforced, But if somebody wants to do something
(12:35):
to make your life miserable, theymay choose to enforce that federal law.
Just think about it. It canhappen. If you want to purchase legally
a firearm exercising your Second Amendment constitutionalright as an American citizen, you fill
out a form and on that formyou are asked if you are a user
(12:56):
of or an addict of any illegalsubs instances. If you answer yes,
you don't get your firearm. It'sa federal form. But if you answer
no, guess what You're lying ona federal form and you are subject to
prosecution unless you're Hunter Biden, ifthey find out that you do indeed and
(13:18):
have been known to use any illegalsubstance at the federal level while filling out
your form, your federal form toget your federal right to own a firearm.
We're putting the cart before the horse. What about companies that have drug
testing policies, They do not nomatter what you look. Your state may
(13:41):
say recreational weed is illegal, butif they are. You know a company
that the works across the nation andthey've got drug testing standards, and they
test you and you test positive forthe thac your job's gone. Is your
recreational weed worth that to you?I mean, if it's illegal in the
state, fine, but it's notnecessarily going to be okay with the company
(14:07):
because they don't want you doing anythingthat would harm the reputation or a coworker
or a customer. You drive aforklift at the warehouse, you got a
blue collar job, but you testpositive for THC, You're gone. They
don't want you dropping a palette ofheavy things on your co workers. They're
not going to take that chance.So the repercussions are there, the possibilities
(14:33):
are there, and none of thesesituations have been dealt with prior to putting
on the ballot this amendment that wouldlegalize the recreational marijuana. So you're playing
Russian roulette with your future. Willyou be prosecuted, will you not be
prosecuted, Will you be caught,will you not be caught, Will you
be fired? Will you not befired? You don't know, because we're
(14:54):
doing something without knowing what we're doing. And unfortunately, that is the way
of a the way of government,not just in Ohio, but at the
federal level, at the local levels, government reacting or taking action without full
knowledge of what they're doing and withoutmaking preparations to deal with the repercussions of
(15:16):
what they do. I'm a noon issue too, but it will pass
anyway. I must admit I dofind a sick humor in the fact that
as a cigarette smoker, as atobacco user, i am I'm a pariah.
I am the scourge of society.I can't go to my local bar
and sit down and have a beerand a cigarette. That's wrong. But
if you want to funcify the streetswith the smell of your cannabis, we're
(15:37):
going to make that legal. Reallyreally, how about this? How about
while we're doing this, if we'regoing to make the use of marijuana legal
on a recreational level for adults,how about we go back to allowing me
to smoke in a public places ifit's smoke friendly. Let the businesses decide.
If the bar, the bowling alley, the restaurant, whatever it is,
(15:58):
if it privately owned and that businessowner says we want to be a
smoke friendly establishment, then I goin there. I smoke. If they
say we're smoke free, then Idon't smoke, And I also probably don't
go there. I just that's mychoice. And the businesses will thrive and
survive or they won't. It's capitalism. It's the American way. And if
(16:22):
you're looking at the place across thestreet and it's smoke friendly and it's packed
every night, and you got oneguy named Gomer sitting at the bar at
your place, because you're smoke free, maybe you'll want to change your position
vice versa. If the smoke friendlyplace is sitting empty and the smoke free
place has a crowd overflowing onto thepatio, maybe it'll become smoke free.
(16:44):
But should you not have that choiceto operate your business in that way?
If you choose to operate it inthat way and the customers make the decision,
well then why not about the employeesThey have to work there. If
they want to work in a smokefree place, they can go across the
street. Finally, before I getout of here, I was talking about
the Israel Hamas situation on the PowerHour the other night on six to ten
(17:07):
Double UTV, and the next dayClay and Buck had a guest on.
I'm not sure who she was,but she was saying pretty much the same
thing I said, except, ofcourse I said it better. The Power
Hour is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and soon to be Thursday when Buckeye
season is over, six pm onsix to ten Double UTVN in Columbus,
where you can catch it live andparticipate at will. But I just I
(17:30):
wanted you to take a listen tomy take on the Israeli Hamas Wars situation.
It sounded like this. The official, they call this person, an
official with Hamas was tell them asyou an interview, and the translation is
(17:51):
this that the terror attacks on Israelthat happened earlier this month will happen again
and again until the country is completelydestroyed, insisting it has no on our
land. Again and again, women, children, babes, civilians, music
(18:12):
festival celebrating peace, attacked, slaughtered, kidnapped, violated, left, neked,
broken in the streets, and itwon't happen again and again until you
are gone. And we've got peoplesaying Israel does need a cease fire,
(18:34):
we just need a seapire. Really, I want you to be Israel in
your mind right now. Be Israel. You are Israel. You are Israel.
Two weeks ago, somebody kicked inyour front door and just beat the
hell out of your family and killedyour dog, left the dog's corpse laying
(18:56):
on the porch, bloody, hungthe cat from the gutter, and they
got on They told the police,guess what, you didn't catch us.
And it's gonna happen again. We'regonna come back again. We're gonna do
that house again till everybody ever livedin that house, walk past that house,
knows where that house is, isdead till they don't exist anymore.
(19:22):
Would you or would you not bestanding on your front porch or rooftop heavily
armed, just waiting for the bastardto show up again? Of course you
would. And if you knew whereto find them, you go get them.
Keep them away from your family,keep them away from your home.
(19:45):
Of course you would. And ifthey were hiding in mama's house and Mama
didn't have anything to do with it, but mama was letting them hide in
the house, you shoot mama ifyou had to to get to them,
of course you would. Now tellme again, is reel It needs to
have a ceasefire. Tell me they'rebeing too harsh. We will do this
(20:10):
again and again until the country iscompletely destroyed. It should not exist,
It's people should not exist. Wewill do it again and again. Now,
maybe there are one or two ofyou that would just unlock your doors
(20:30):
and lay on the porch and drawa target on your heart where the bullet
should go. But I don't thinkmost of us would, or maybe that's
just me. I am so gladwe had this time together and it's over.
Now I have to go. Donot forget. Join me Monday,
Tuesday Wednesday night, six pm onsix ten WTVN in Columbus, Ohio.

is more on the way and hopefullyyou'll get addicted to it while you're driving
home from work, or working outon the exercise bicycle, doing the laundry,
or just putting on the headphones sothe kids seem a little bit quieter.
