Franklin County Republican Party concerns

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Rereading salitations. Welcome my friends to the Tuesday. It is
Tuesdays and it's zactly.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm not sure. I'm feeling like it's too It looks
like at Tuesdays. It's the Tuesday edition of the Power Hour.
It is Tuesday. It is a Tuesday edition on six
ten u TV, and I'm chucked upwards. You know who
you are.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
We take it from there. We get one hour together,
which means I talk really fast. You must listen even faster.
My number eight two one nine eight eighty six eight
two one WTV in or eight hundred and six y
ten WTV in. Congratulations, Waverley, apparently you can use your
water again. I figured i'd let you know that they
had that do not use it. That wasn't do not drink.

(00:40):
It was like I do not use order, which I've
never seen before. But officials in Waverley apparently have lifted
the do not use order. So again, congratulations. Frankly, I
probably would let it run a bit before I used it.
I'm just saying that's just me, all right. Wake up

(01:00):
this morning. Find out the last night's Columbus City Council
meeting they replaced the departed Shyla Favor Shalla Favor, who
became the Franklin County prosecutor because the voters of Franklin
County cast more votes for her than for her Republican challenger,

(01:21):
John ru Tan. I still think you'll regret that, but
we'll see. I just I'm sorry that the things that
I heard her say prior to the election sounded way
too much like hope and change to me. And I
just I'm I'm worried about what's around the corner in
this uh, this world in which we live where the
law does not seem to matter anymore, and the good

(01:42):
guys are the bad guys, and the bad guys are
the victims. And uh, I'm just I'm not looking forward
to what we get out of there. But she left
Columbus City Council leaving a hole there. And you know,
every time something comes up with counsel and there's any
pushback at all, what do you get from, Well.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
You know, we're we're brought partisan down here. It's a
non partisan office. I mean, yes, we have.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Political filations, but we're there's columb City Council non partisan.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Well, then why the hell can't you ever.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Pick a libertarian or a greenee, because you know it
ain't gonna be a Republican. But everybody knew from the
moment Favor was confirmed as a winner in the county prosecutors,
everybody knew it was going to be another Democrat. Most
people probably figured likely non white Democrat. And what did

(02:38):
you get otto Baty the third?

Speaker 2 (02:39):
There you go? What is he?

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Well, he is a male, he's not a female, so
that's one thing. But he is a legacy liberal, as
I am calling them now, I'm that's my phrase, legacy liberal,
black male stepson of Joyce Baty, and we all know
how much she's loved. And he's just, you know, somebody

(03:05):
else with connections, a family name, little recognition, couple of
phone calls made, and poof, there he is. But the voters,
the people, the public, the media, whoever continues to believe
this line of bs about this is a partisan office
down here, We're just we're not about We're not about partisanship.

(03:27):
We're we're a nonpartisan position. Was shut up? Shut up?
And if if you were so naive that you thought
something other than a Democrat with connections was going to
be named to fill in the seat vacated by favor,
then please consider getting some help going to a rehab.

(03:50):
Drugs are bad. The thing of it is we let
it happen. We meaning everybody who is not a legacy
liberal Democrat in Franklin County, we let it happen. Meaning
any organized party that is not the Democrat Party in
Franklin County, we let it happen. Meeting the citizens of Columbus, Ohio,

(04:19):
Franklin County GOP as I put on my Facebook page today,
as I am saying right here, right now, right straight
to your ears, needs to be right now, right now,
right now, right now, getting candidates together for the next
six years. Don't wait until fifteen minutes before showtime and

(04:40):
try to figure out which shoes to wear. Start working
on it now. Whole public meetings, town hall forums, Q
and A sessions. Gather people together that have some interest
in running. Pick and choose who's viable, who's strong, who
speaks well, who motivates, who initiates, Who is the person

(05:00):
that can capture the room, bring in the votes and
get some victories for somebody other than the Democrat candidate
in Franklin County, Ohio. I mean, come on, it ain't
that hard. Start finding them now, start vetting them now,
start molding them now, and get them ready for the

(05:23):
next six years worth of elections. I don't want one
party rule. I don't want the Republicans running everything. I
don't want the Democrats. I want something that resembles balance,
so that people like me, people like us, don't have
to feel like we are completely outnumbered and unrepresented in

(05:44):
the hollowed halls of ninety West Broad Street. Is that
too much to ask? It's said that all it's necessary
for evil.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
To prevail us, for good men to do. Nothing.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Doesn't have to be about good and evil. Sometimes it's
just about smart and stupid. Honestly, there is a wave
going on right now, for better or for worse. There
is a wave going on right now. And if the

(06:24):
Washington folks, the Trump administration continues to move forward, they
do not stumble, they do not fall apart. The possibilities
that are being created by the presidency for the states,
for the counties, for the municipalities.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Are extreme.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
But if we let this moment in time go by
without doing something with it, it is our fault. If
six years from now, all the seats in Franklin County
are held by democrats. It is our fault and at
that point, sit down, shut up, or get the hell
out because you did nothing. There is an opportunity before us,

(07:17):
somebody's got to take it.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Or maybe that's just me.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Six one four is the area code eight two one
nine eight eight six eight two one WTV in or
eight hundred and six to ten double EUTV. I don't
got will standing by. I've been here since almost the
beginning with something to say on the subject. Will you're
on six ten double UTVN good inning.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Sure? I have a quick question for you. I thought
you'd be the man to ask. Now Here on the news,
they want to abolish the death penalty, and they said
we are better than that. We're not going to kill.
They got one hundred and nineteen of them on death
row and we feed them. We give him a library, telephone, TV, radio,

(07:55):
Now they have it all and it just to take
about the girl Breagan toaks up on Ice Street. The
guy took her out and killed her, left her out
here and grow sated. Boy, do you believe that they
should not kill you? Tell me that you're I need
you need some phone call? This upset me.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Who are the they in what you saw on television
tonight the state of Ohio.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
He said, we're going away with the death death penalty,
and then people make so much an hour fifty cents
or whatever it is. That's our money spending on them people.
And they said they're never going to get out. But still,
what what's your opinion do you think a man that
took another life like Reagan toaks that they should live.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
If if you have committed murder beyond the shadow of
a doubt, there's absolutely no doubt in any mind anyone
has anywhere. You absolutely did it. About fifteen minutes after
your conviction. You should get your last meal on a
forty five round to the back of the skull.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
We're done.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Thank you, sir. You're though you're the man I just
knew you felt the same way. I hope some people
will call in and protest this. This is awful that
we have to take care of them with our money
and give them everything under the sun that could have
and provide for them. People where they say they're never

(09:14):
going to get out, what good are they? They're never
going to be any good.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
If someone that you know, if there's any doubts, sometimes
circumstantial evidence puts.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
People in a jail cell. And I'm willing to concede that.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
But there are there are enough cases where it's absolute,
it's there's you know, and in those cases, there's absolutely
no point in us wasting our time or resources. That's
you have committed murder. The penalty for murder is death.
And that was one of the first things Donald Trump
did after he was inaugurated is start signing bills that

(09:47):
would allow these states that are using lethal injection to
get access to the to the drugs because the pharmaceutical
manufacturers have been saying, Nope, you can't use our drugs
for that.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
And that's where Ohio's been.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
But you know, I'm saying, somewhere in a warehouse, old
Sparky is still there.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Man. I'll chip in on the electric bill.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
I appreciate you, Will, Thanks for the call, and thanks
for thanks for carre.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
I think a lot more now. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
I appreciate your care. And I'm getting fired up over
something that actually matters. But see, Will, Will's a pro
and I could tell by his voice. Will was an
older guy. He's not necessarily who I expect to step up.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
You know, the.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Uh, I'd say the if you are under under sixty
because people, you know, staying in there until you're seventy
five eighty years old now and being a vibrant force
is not out of the question. People are doing that
all the time. Sixty five is not the end of
your road. In twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five, Wow,

(10:51):
we've had another year. But we've got to start. You know,
the sixty and under. The forty and unders would be wonderful.
Motivating the youngsters, the college kids to get involved and
start taking an interest, that's good too, but God bless them,
we don't need them an elected office right now. Okay,

(11:12):
if you're twenty two twenty three years old, just coming
out of college, you can be as conservative as you want,
own as many blue blazers as you want. I don't
care about that. What I care about is getting some
life experience under your belt. So you want to work
for some elected officials, that's great, But I'm not going

(11:32):
to be the first one to rush out and vote
for a twenty two to twenty three year old kid
simply because we're on the same political page. Because you
need life experience. So I'm saying, you know, the mid thirty.
It look kind of like the presidency. You have to
be thirty five to be president of the United States.
That's kind of where I would start because I grew

(11:53):
up significantly between twenty one and thirty different man, from
eighteen to twenty one different man. So yeah, you have
those stages of growth. But about thirty five, I think
I can take you seriously. So thirty five and up.

(12:13):
You people, you're sitting around right now, you're listening, you're
in the car, you're at home, maybe you're making dinner,
maybe you've finished dinner and you're just kicking back and
it's been a day. What's Chuck Gonner screen about? Think
about it? Think about it, think about running, Think about

(12:35):
going downtown to the They're having a Central Committee meeting tonight, which,
by the way, Franklin County GOP advertise put some notices
out there. Use your social media presence to let people
know when the party is having their meeting, when the
Central Committee is having their meeting, when it is, where
it is, who it's open to their public meetings. You
can go, but you never know when they're happening. We

(12:58):
have a really it's were just terrible when it comes
to reaching out, tapping people on the shoulders and saying
hey over here, twenty one past the hour. That means
trafficking weather together from day and night, heating and cooling
