Speaker 1 (00:00):
Three things.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
We got to take on a Democratic congresswoman in Massachusetts
I gotta talk about. And also the Christopher Columbus Statute.
We gotta have some conversation about that. First though, I
must chastise missed the producer, missed the produce.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I'm gonna call you, mister producer. Now, missed the producer. Zach,
what if I I'm going to start calling you missus producer?
Can I do that? Okay, okay, take that down.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I just saw what you did if you were not
here during the Blazer Show. The first hour at the
Blazer Show, I was talking about the fact that some idiots,
some most likely some drug riddled zombie, got into my
car overnight, and of all the things they could have done,
all the things they could have done, they stole my
rickety old used nasty five year old dollar tree ash
(00:51):
tray out of my car, which I didn't notice until
I went to flip an ash and I went, hey,
there's nothing there, And so really, of all the things
they could take, But then Zach Moron I said, I
jokingly said, yeah, I'm going to need to GoFundMe. He
actually put up a GoFundMe page to raise money for
an ashtray and then Mitch. Mitch replied to it because
(01:14):
he put it on Facebook. Mitch replied to it, I
don't think it's a two hundred dollars asstray. You value
your asstrays how you want to, Mitch, Mine was worth
two hundred.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
But anyway, trying to help, so to put.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Take that down before somebody says that I'm trying to
scam people.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I can't even believe that you got something stolen it
out of the bottom of my heart, I went to
all this trouble to put that up.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, and then you're like, take it down.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Believe me.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
There are times when I wanted to start a GoFundMe.
It just, you know, because times are rough for everybody
sometimes and I've thought about but I'm like, you know what,
as long as there is air in my lungs and
the blood is flowing and I wake up in the morning,
I'm gonna find a way, man, no matter how hard
I have to work, how many hours I have to
put in, how many phone calls I got, I'm going
(01:58):
to make it work.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Unless I was hurt.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Or something like that. I just can't ever see myself
doing that. But it seems to be. You know, that's
the way everybody does it. Anything that happens to anybody today,
the first thing they do is a gofund me.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
You do know that I would never actually take money.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I would hope not. Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I mean, I've already raised one seventy ft dogs.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Kids, even wealthy people. I've seen people who have money,
and the first thing they do, we're collecting GoFundMe for
the you know, the funeral arrangements or something. Really really
you're well off.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Stop that tugging on the heartstrings too.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Stop it. I just say, you know, we're just right.
Is right and wrong as well.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I've often said. In fact, Marke and I back when
they had the billion dollar power Ball and we were
all promising we'd give each other a million dollars if
we won, and Mark and I were talking off the
air about that. I said, you know, I don't know
if I can opt out of things like social Security
and so forth, but if I can, I would. I mean,
there's no point in if I've got hundreds of millions
(03:02):
of dollars, there's no point in me taking that money.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
But there is a point of getting a new astra
I need.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I need an astray. Yeah, I gotta have that.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
What are you complaining about?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Did you put up a go fundme for an I'm
gonna go to the dollar store after I get out
of here and and pick up an astray.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
My last name is Schwartz.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
If you want to go.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
To my Facebook page, you are so goofy.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
You can friend me and help Chuck get a stolen.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Astra whatever whatever, whatever, All right, So let me see
what am I gonna talk about. Let me do this
Democratic congress woman first out of Massachuset.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I like saying that name, Massa.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Are you familiar with a congress woman Ayana Presley?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah, we go, we go way back.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Thank you very much, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Uh she is one who uh she she? You know,
it's we're a racist country and blah blah blah blah blah.
And the debate over Columbus Day, which was made Indigenous
People's Day, which Donald Trump made back to Columbus Day,
she felt the need to, you know, to speak out
on that, and she got on her social media and
(04:10):
she says, we are all on stolen land. And while
Republicans try to whitewash American history, we acknowledge our country's
role in listening trauma on our indigenous neighbors. The Boston
congresswoman wrote this on x She added that we'll keep
(04:32):
collaborat or celebrating their contributions and centering Native voices and
are policy making and building more just just an equitable future.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
So now there are calls for her to sell.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Her one point one million dollar home in Martha's Vineyard
because you know, she's on stolen.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Land, stolen hair too. Somebody took it.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Isn't that that's very meducis anti or what's the word
of a reverse medusation. She also owns a couple of
investment properties in Mattapan, low income area in South Boston
that earns she and her husband between fifty thousand and
one hundred thousand dollars in twenty twenty four. She often
(05:17):
speaks about inequality and the rights of the poor. Her husband,
Canaan Harris, along with her purchased their three bedroom house
in Martha's Vineyard in twenty twenty three. New York Post
reported that Harris her husband spent ten years in prison
(05:38):
for drug trafficking. I mean she's making one hundred and
seventy four thousand dollars a year, and she bought up
one point one million dollar house. Her husband did ten
years for drug trafficking. I'm just saying, no accusations. I'm
just saying the Democrat owns four rental properties in Massachusetts,
(06:01):
all together earned her as much as three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in profit in twenty twenty four, according to
her annual financial disclosure, a significant profit increase for Presley,
who in twenty twenty declared a riddle income of fifteen
thousand dollars. So in four years she went from fifteen
thousand dollars in rental income to three hundred and fifty
(06:24):
thousand dollars in rental income. What's she charging for rent?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Is that not normal?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Is she? Is she a predatory landlord? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Maybe they knocked down a wall and it seemed more
spacious and it just looked better.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
So, but maybe there were calls in Columbus, Ohio, largely
I believe from the Italian American community to put the
damn statue back where.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
It belongs in front of city.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Hall, and the city has announced previously a plan to
construct a park somewhere where they want to display it.
My question for you, and I mean this sincerely. Would you,
(07:13):
as they said, asen as a voter, is it an
involved member of our city, would you vote in favor
of a referendum on the ballots that would say the
mayor made an arbitrary decision to remove this statue citing
his beliefs that Christopher Columbus did not represent our values
(07:35):
of the city which is named Columbus, and remove the
statue in the middle of and it should go back
because there was no public input, no notice, no public speaking,
no council meeting, nothing. He just decided to do it
and around four am one morning it was done. If
(07:55):
that was on the ballot to put that statue back,
would you vote yes? Put the statue back. And it
doesn't matter whether you're an Italian American or white or
black or Asian or whatever. I'm just I think the
people of Columbus would vote in favor of this. Look,
(08:16):
you take down the statue, but we're still Columbus, Ohio.
Where's the referendum to change our name to Flavortown. How
can we continue to be Columbus when a statue of
Columbus doesn't reflect our values? This just doesn't make sense.
(08:36):
It was a stupid decision, a stupid move offensive to
some and as far as I know, while maybe not illegal,
definitely unethical. You don't take down the city's namesake statue
from in front of the people of Columbus's house. That's
(08:58):
what city Hall is. It's ours, our city hall. That's
where our business is conducted. Just like the State House
belongs to the state, US capital belongs to the United States,
city Hall belongs to the people of Columbus. And that statue,
that statue was I mean, my whole life, it's been there.
(09:24):
It doesn't even look right having the building there without
the statue, as far as I'm concerned. There was another
one too, that was on the wod. They had that
on the Siota down by the Santa Maria, which is
also somewhere in storage.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
There's not a whole heck of a lot of doo
you can do with that shallow water down there. Anyway,
the Santa Maria was at least a little attraction. Not
sure why they pulled that out, same brain trust that
tore down the Centrum, I guess, but I think I'm
ready for it. I would like to see this and
(10:03):
I'm not sure how it would be done. I know
I've got two or three people from the Board of
Elections that listen pretty regularly. Maybe they're listening tonight and
could tell me. I don't know how it would be done,
but it seems to me that something like this, this
is exactly what the democratic process is all about. How
(10:24):
would you bring that kind of thing to the ballot?
I'd like to know how that's done, and i'd like
to know if you'd be supportive. Let's put that statue back.
That's what I say, A two one nine, eight eighty six,
the number eight two one WTV and and you're welcome
to say I don't think it should go back.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
By the way, you don't have to. I'm unlike some people.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
You don't have to agree with me and go, oh chuck,
you're exactly right. If you think I'm wrong, I'll listen
to you.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
We may not agree, but I'll listen to you. That's
always been my rule.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Debate, discussion, disagreement with respect.
