Speaker 1 (00:00):
Chuck Douglass in for Blazer. He's on vacation. He'll be
back on Tuesday. Just I don't know, hold onto something,
maybe get the duct tape. Strap yourself in shelter the pets,
hide the children in the basement, whatever it takes. The
number eight two one nine, eight eighty six A two
one WTV and you're welcome when I am on the air,
And let me begin here. Hang on, let me take
the lid off of this thing. Let me begin with

(00:20):
a celebratory drink. Hmmm, that's good. You see what that
you see? I'm drinking from Awaking Awaken one to eighty
chocolate shake, which, first of all, it takets really good.
But secondly, I had my weekly check in with my
coach today two thirty man too thirty. I don't even

(00:44):
recall ever weighing two hundred and thirty pounds. I can't
believe it. Fifteen weeks forty eight pounds, which is like
what three point four pounds per week or something like that.
I'm about to head into what they call maintenance because
I'm pretty much there.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, I was gonna say, isn't it because I've never
had I've just heard of you guys talking about it.
Once you get to your goal, you get into maintenance.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, that's that's where I can start eating. Uh, you
know some more of the stuff that I used to
eat all the time, just within moderation and and kind
of leveling out. And uh, I just I'm two hundred
and thirty. I'm flabbergasted. Well that's great, flabbergasted And this
is a good shing m jocolity. You do have your

(01:30):
coffee though, I got my coffee, made the coffee today
and yeah, it's been a very uh, very energized and productive.
What is this Wednesday? Wednesday? For me? So? And it
started with two hundred and thirty pounds? Did I mention that? So? Yeah?
Uh the I'm I'm I'm kind of speechless over this

(01:51):
isu Cincinnati, and I wasn't gonna start off, but I
this came up at the last second here and I
come and I'm I've got to talk about this. You
all know the violence that happened in Cincinnati, the chaos,
the melee, the fracas that happened in Cincinnati over the weekend,
and two people basically just knocked senseless in the streets.

(02:16):
I am so not wanting to call this racially motivated. Again,
as I pointed out the other day, if if it was,
you know, just we hate white people, there were other
white people down there. Only these two were involved as
far as we know, which I am grateful for because
I don't want to see a big race riot in

(02:38):
the streets of one of the most beautiful cities in
the state of Ohio. Then was it yesterday or day
before yesterday? The police chief opened her precious little mouth.
And did you see her with her press conference? I
sent you actually a link.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah, I actually have it ready.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Do you have it? Do you have it queued up
there to that forty secon mark? Just play about ten
seconds there of her press conference in the forty second mark.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Another topic of want to cover real quick, social media
and journalism and the role.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Of plays in this incident. You people, is what she said, right,
you journalist, you news people. She was blaming them. She
was didn't have as much of a problem with the
acts that were committed in the streets of her city
as she did. The media and people on social media
propagating the video and putting the story out there.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Well, more people need to know about it. That's how
awareness becomes yeah, so.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
I thought, okay, well that is just the epitome of
stupidity in leadership in Cincinnati, Ohio. I understand now why
the mayor's race down there is so contentious. I wasn't
going to get involved in that because you know the
guys you know at Cincinnati. I'm in Columbus, but I
think I may have that that guy on. But anyway,
I understand now what the leadership issue is in Cincinnati.

(04:05):
Because the police chief doesn't want to blame the hordes,
the masses of people that were beaten, the crap out
of people in the street. It's the media's fault. It's
social media's fault. And now today to the president pro
tem of the city council, that is, that's basically vice president.
This person who's gonna be president of city council next term,

(04:27):
the president pro tem of city Council. This ludicrous piece
of garbage named Taylor. Taylor of Park Parks is her name,
gets involved in a social media Facebook post and decides
to comment as people were saying, you know, these folks
didn't deserve this kind of thing, blah blah blah blah.

(04:49):
Here is the comment that these parks made on the face.
Are you ready to a seriously strap yourself in the
begged for that beat down. I'm grateful for the whole story,
Parks wrote in response to a Facebook post. What on if, oh,

(05:12):
I f is going on in the Queen City.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
What was she down there and she could know exactly
what was said and knew what happened? Or is she
just saying that.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
I don't know. I don't know. This is ridiculous, and
I you know, when I first saw this, I thought, oh,
this is garbage, this is this is just somebody making
some stuff up. I am reading the story right now.
I went to the Gateway Pundit. Quite a few entities
online have it. The most familiar was Gateway Pundit to me,
so I'm clicked on their story just to see if

(05:46):
this was uh, if this was an actual story. I
can't believe. I love Cincinnati. Oh, so many wonderful things
have come out of Cincinnati, Daryl. You're not one of them,
but many good things have come out of Cincinnati. It's
beautiful architecturally. That fountain at the beginning of w KRAP

(06:09):
is still there in downtown. I used to have to
go down there as a member of the Voiceover Union,
the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. Their headquarters
is down in Cincinnati, so I'd have to go down there,
and they were in a rickety old building, but there
was so much character, and I just I loved that city, especially,
you know, growing up here in Columbus, where we knocked

(06:30):
down everything that had any character to it to replace
it with brass and glass, and then we knocked that
down because we didn't like it. That's the way we
roll in Columbus Cincinnati. There have been songs about Cincinnati's
We may be the capital city. Cleveland may have the

(06:52):
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Guardians of
the Cavaliers, but Cincinnati has been just such a well
known part of America and what should be a celebrated
city in the state of Ohio. And to see this
ridiculousness in their streets broke my heart. Over the weekend,

(07:12):
to hear the police chief blaming media and social media
for talking about it too much, for putting it out
there was very disheartening. And to hear the president pro
tem of their city council got on her Facebook and
got into a conversation and said, these people, they begged

(07:38):
for that beat down. I don't know what to say. Now.
I'm going to call on the City of Columbus Mayor
Andrew ginther council President Shannon Harden, all of you council members.
You want to take positions on Arizona when they don't

(07:59):
allow legal immigration. You want to take positions on all
this national crap that doesn't concern you. I want to
hear you take a position on what the city council
in Cincinnati should be doing with their president pro tem
speak out on that. You want to speak out on

(08:20):
stuff from around the country, around the world. We stand
with Ukraine. I shut up your Columbus, Ohio. But maybe
you have at least a little skin in the game
on this one. Maybe you've got the right, perceived or otherwise,
as a city leadership body to state a position on

(08:46):
what this woman said in Cincinnati. I'd love to see
you do it. I would love to go home tonight,
turn on the news and hear Columbus may Or Andrew Ginthers,
what's the word I'm looking for? Zach. He put him down,
he did something to straighten him out. What's the word
I'm looking boy? Help me, help me? The saist boy,

(09:07):
come on, condemned. I think that's what I'm looking for.
I didn't even need you condemn the sentiments expressed by cities.
That's what I want to hear, That's what I want
to see. Am I out of line here? Am I
asking too much of my City of Columbus leadership?

Speaker 2 (09:21):
No, but I'm looking at her last Facebook posts, which
was a while ago. But people are really not happy
with her. Like her Facebook page is nothing but people
going off on her. Some of them I can't read
on the radio, but they are not happy with her.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
If les Nessaman was still now in there covering the news,
she'd have a microphone interface right now. And I'm just
saying this is one of the The event itself was ridiculous,
and I pray, I mean I use that word intentionally
and sincerely. I pray that we don't see that kind

(09:57):
of ridiculousness in Columbus. The Taco Festival was bad enough.
I don't want to see anything like that in the
city of Columbus. I pray that we are better people
than that, not just in Columbus, but that the whole
country just becomes better than that. This beating of one
another in the streets, unacceptable, unthinkable. It is it moral?

(10:22):
It is it is it's it it's evil, Yes I
use that word. It's evil. But for the leadership of
the city to blame media and social media for the
woman that is to assume the presidency of city Council

(10:45):
next year, to say they begged for that beat down,
she should be removed from office immediately. Council should should
take a vote. If there's nothing, if there's no ordnance
in Cincinnati that allows it to hell with that, create one,

(11:05):
create one. Get rid of the poison before the poison
kills you, Cincinnati. That's what it comes down to. Good
advice for every city in America.
