- 0:04Speaker 1: time of week. You can find him at we the
- 0:08Speaker 1: People Convention dot org. His name Tom Zawastowski does a
- 0:12Speaker 1: podcast every week. He should check that out.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Tom.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Morning Show, my friend. Great to
- 0:15Speaker 1: hear from you.
- 0:17Speaker 2: Oh, it's good to be on. But wow, what a
- 0:19Speaker 2: what a half hour or forty five minutes you've had
- 0:22Speaker 2: talking about elections? Brian, Oh my goodness, I'm just soon.
- 0:25Speaker 2: I can't argue with you, brother. You're saying some things
- 0:28Speaker 2: that people need to hear about. How come there's nobody
- 0:30Speaker 2: on the bloody ballot?
- 0:32Speaker 1: It really is mind blowing. Tom. And you know, the
- 0:35Speaker 1: sad news out of and I don't mean to talk
- 0:37Speaker 1: about Anderson Township, but that's where this individual, this former politician,
- 0:41Speaker 1: is talking about the problems mentioned. Specifically, he said everybody left,
- 0:44Speaker 1: all the conservatives have left. There's a very small percentage
- 0:47Speaker 1: of them left. He notably putting up the Tea Party.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Folks all bailed and that was a solid conservative area.
- 0:53Speaker 1: And I don't know if he's right statistically, but you know,
- 0:56Speaker 1: if he's painfully aware of all of the conservative minded
- 0:58Speaker 1: people who have literally moved out of Hamilton County. They've
- 1:01Speaker 1: just given up, just completely given up, Brian.
- 1:06Speaker 2: So I can speak to that, okay, because the Tea
- 1:09Speaker 2: Party came out of Hamilton County, came out of Cincinnati.
- 1:13Speaker 2: I know Chris Little did in those guys, okay. And
- 1:16Speaker 2: the thing that just one of your callers had common
- 1:21Speaker 2: sense a little bit ago. And here's the thing that
- 1:24Speaker 2: didn't pass the common sense test to me as a
- 1:26Speaker 2: Tea Party person, because the Cincinnati guys said, oh yeah,
- 1:31Speaker 2: we can run for a county Central Committee, we can
- 1:34Speaker 2: run for state Central Committee. We can take over the
- 1:37Speaker 2: Republican Party and reform it, right, And I said, really,
- 1:42Speaker 2: is that right? Well, then all of a sudden, the
- 1:45Speaker 2: interesting things happened, like geez, when the Tea Party started
- 1:48Speaker 2: to run for county Central Committee positions. Instead of having
- 1:51Speaker 2: those races every two years, they made them every four years.
- 1:55Speaker 2: And oh yeah, and then once we started running again,
- 1:58Speaker 2: you know, we're the Tea Party. I had no idea
- 2:00Speaker 2: there was anything called State Central Committee. Comrade. It sounds
- 2:04Speaker 2: like something out of the former Soviet Union, right, what
- 2:07Speaker 2: the heck is that? Right? And they said, well, it's
- 2:09Speaker 2: been on your ballot, and I'm like, I don't even
- 2:11Speaker 2: remember even seeing that that you could elect people to
- 2:14Speaker 2: these party positions, and then we started to run for
- 2:18Speaker 2: these things. I have a friend right now today who's
- 2:21Speaker 2: running in Stark County for a Republican Party State Central
- 2:25Speaker 2: Committee seat. In the past, Brian, you didn't spend any
- 2:29Speaker 2: money on it. You just went out knocked on doors.
- 2:31Speaker 2: You went to the social events that the Republicans would
- 2:34Speaker 2: put on, and said, hey, here's my name, here's what
- 2:36Speaker 2: I believe in. You know, vote for me. He's got
- 2:39Speaker 2: an opponent. Now I guess this. This is a non
- 2:42Speaker 2: paid position for Republican Central Committee. His one opponent has
- 2:47Speaker 2: spent fifty five thousand dollars to run for this. Why
- 2:53Speaker 2: would any sane person run for a position that pays
- 2:58Speaker 2: nothing and spend fifty five thousand dollar of their money?
- 3:01Speaker 1: Wow?
- 3:01Speaker 2: Good question, isn't it? Okay, that's a good question. How
- 3:05Speaker 2: about this question? All right? I don't know nobody ever
- 3:08Speaker 2: talks about this, but in Ohio, the way you become
- 3:11Speaker 2: a member of a political party is by voting in
- 3:15Speaker 2: the primary. Did you know that when you pull the
- 3:18Speaker 2: Republican ballot today, you're basically saying I want to be
- 3:21Speaker 2: a member of the Republican Party.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Not a doues paying member, I might point out.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Oh, and boy did I have that discussion, because people
- 3:28Speaker 2: will remember those of their old tea party people that
- 3:31Speaker 2: Tom Zawastowski ran to be chairman of the Uhio Republican
- 3:35Speaker 2: Party back when Matt Borgius was taking it over under Kasik.
- 3:39Speaker 2: And I said to them, yeah, you don't want to
- 3:42Speaker 2: have a real political party. These aren't political parties. These
- 3:46Speaker 2: are country clubs. Because because when James Timpkin is the
- 3:50Speaker 2: chairman a few years ago, she can make four phone
- 3:53Speaker 2: calls and eraise five million dollars from their big donors.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Why mess with those pesky you know, two only in
- 4:00Speaker 2: Republican you know members and get them to pay twenty
- 4:03Speaker 2: dollars a year to fund our campaigns. We don't want
- 4:06Speaker 2: to do that. That's too much light work. Okay, So
- 4:09Speaker 2: then let's keep going on the insanity. You know it's
- 4:12Speaker 2: going to cost today for us, the tax payers of Ohio,
- 4:16Speaker 2: to put on primaries for what, Brian, These are not
- 4:20Speaker 2: political entities. The Republican Party, the Democrat Party, the Liberton part,
- 4:25Speaker 2: Libertarian Party, the Green Party, whoever are private entities?
- 4:29Speaker 1: True?
- 4:29Speaker 2: You and I are going to spend fifty million dollars
- 4:34Speaker 2: today to put on this freaking primary. Fifty million dollars
- 4:38Speaker 2: of our state taxpayer dollars. Why are we doing that?
- 4:42Speaker 2: Guess what if we didn't do that, you think they'd
- 4:44Speaker 2: have primaries. They just have a meeting and say here's
- 4:47Speaker 2: our choices. They'll be on the ballot in November.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Yeout, what the hell would we care?
- 4:51Speaker 2: What would we care? And the reason that he's on
- 4:54Speaker 2: the ballot, Brian, is because they can't pay enough to
- 4:58Speaker 2: get on the ballot. It's all hey to play.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Yeah, money in politics. Tom Zawastowski, shocking, literally, know one.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Although I appreciate the gory details and your criticisms of
- 5:09Speaker 1: the Republican Party because you know, we like to think,
- 5:12Speaker 1: as conservative minded people that we have our house in order,
- 5:15Speaker 1: Clearly we do not, Tom's AWASKI hold on, I'm sure
- 5:19Speaker 1: you've got more on that. We're gonna talk about the
- 5:20Speaker 1: Yes it is primary, PARSD Talk Station, Miriyan, Thomas whet
- 5:23Speaker 1: and People Convention dot org or dot com. Tom Zawastowski, Tom,
- 5:26Speaker 1: real quick, you had mentioned the Tea Party and I
- 5:28Speaker 1: used to think the Tea Party was the greatest thing.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Why because it really boiled down to my pure little
- 5:33Speaker 1: L libertarian principles fiscal responsibility, limited government, and free markets.
- 5:38Speaker 1: What's wrong with that? Whatever happened to the Tea Party? Tom,
- 5:41Speaker 1: That sounds like very solid principles. It didn't involve social engineering,
- 5:45Speaker 1: It didn't comment on you know who you're sleeping with,
- 5:48Speaker 1: like my little little L libertarian philosophy. I trust you
- 5:51Speaker 1: with your zipper, I trust you with your wallet. Let's
- 5:53Speaker 1: keep politics out of all of that. That was a
- 5:55Speaker 1: great direction for the Republican Party to go down. You know,
- 5:58Speaker 1: you didn't alienate as many people had these solid core
- 6:01Speaker 1: principles like hey, there's a concept fiscal responsibility, less government,
- 6:06Speaker 1: love the idea, and free markets, free markets work. Mean,
- 6:10Speaker 1: what did it get corrupted? Did the Republican Party squeeze
- 6:13Speaker 1: them out? Because it just dealt with these pure core
- 6:16Speaker 1: principles that I think is at least were embodied some
- 6:20Speaker 1: of them embodied in the Republican platform. It's just the
- 6:23Speaker 1: Republican platform was much bigger than those three points. Tom.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know we didn't get destroyed. We're still here.
- 6:32Speaker 2: I like to say that the Tea Party is the
- 6:35Speaker 2: skeletal structure of the Magabody politics that we, you know,
- 6:40Speaker 2: are still in the in the background, organizing the younger
- 6:43Speaker 2: folks who haven't gotten the experience that we've had in politics.
- 6:47Speaker 2: And you know, look, Ay Jim Jordan and those guys
- 6:50Speaker 2: are Tea Party guys. You know a lot of the
- 6:52Speaker 2: people still fighting the way you and I would like
- 6:54Speaker 2: them to fight were from the Tea Party. But what's
- 6:58Speaker 2: happened is Donald Trump and Mega and basically it just
- 7:03Speaker 2: brought in a whole another layer of people and really
- 7:07Speaker 2: quite frankly, the money to take control of things and
- 7:10Speaker 2: kind of drive the agenda. But let me just say
- 7:13Speaker 2: to our friends out there who think like you and I,
- 7:16Speaker 2: because the Tea Party again, why we're with the Tea
- 7:18Speaker 2: Party because we were following the footsteps of our founders,
- 7:22Speaker 2: of the Colonists and the Thirteen Colonies, who fought the
- 7:25Speaker 2: British and had to use gorilla tactics to win. I
- 7:28Speaker 2: think you've got to use those gorilla tactics today in
- 7:31Speaker 2: this election. What do I mean by that, Well, first
- 7:34Speaker 2: of all, you talked about I talked to someone from
- 7:36Speaker 2: CINS today yesterday. I guess there's no levy on the
- 7:38Speaker 2: ballot down there in a lot of places, so there's
- 7:41Speaker 2: like no reason to vote. They're expecting like ten percent
- 7:44Speaker 2: turnout in Cincinnati. Well, that's a tactical advantage for those
- 7:48Speaker 2: of us who want to make a surprise attack, because
- 7:52Speaker 2: if you vote, you're both gonna be worth a whole lot.
- 7:55Speaker 1: More, right, Brian, Yes, sir, I'm glad you made that point.
- 7:58Speaker 2: So get there there, Now, what do you want? Where
- 8:01Speaker 2: are our opportunities? Now? You know again, I'm speaking from
- 8:05Speaker 2: my knowledge of these candidates and talking to them and
- 8:08Speaker 2: analyzing them. I think you got to vote for Verbak.
- 8:11Speaker 2: I get the Casey Push thing. He's now serious, you
- 8:14Speaker 2: interviewed him. I'm sorry he's disqualified. But we have two
- 8:19Speaker 2: things that we can do today. We can upset the
- 8:22Speaker 2: cart in Secretary of States race by voting for Marcel Sturbage.
- 8:26Speaker 2: I think a lot of the Push people will turn
- 8:28Speaker 2: out will vote for Sturbage because they have the same attitude,
- 8:33Speaker 2: okay about politics, So that can take him over the top,
- 8:36Speaker 2: and that will rock the vote of the big money people. Okay,
- 8:40Speaker 2: who are you trying to, you know, keep the carousel going? Now?
- 8:44Speaker 2: I know Robert Sprague. I like Robert Spragg's a good guy,
- 8:47Speaker 2: but boy, his TV commercials really turned me off because
- 8:51Speaker 2: we take the elections problems seriously, and his TV commercials
- 8:56Speaker 2: were about like cartoon characters and stuff voting. It was
- 8:59Speaker 2: like a joke. It's not a joke. We need a
- 9:02Speaker 2: serious person and that's ourselves. Service the other one, the
- 9:06Speaker 2: other one. I don't know who's behind this, but Jay
- 9:10Speaker 2: Edwards and Christina Rogner for Treasurer of state. Jay Edwards
- 9:14Speaker 2: is a Blue twenty two controlled by the Democrat unions.
- 9:19Speaker 2: And why Bernie Marino and JD. Vance are pushing him
- 9:22Speaker 2: so hard, I don't know, but I know it has
- 9:24Speaker 2: something to do with money, because you can tell how
- 9:27Speaker 2: much advertising has. Christina Rogner is more than qualified. She's
- 9:32Speaker 2: not just another politician looking for a job because quite frankly,
- 9:36Speaker 2: she doesn't need one. Per in her family are very
- 9:38Speaker 2: well off. But guess what she's learning to be treasurer.
- 9:42Speaker 2: She went to the Wharton School of Business. She worked
- 9:45Speaker 2: for Mackenzie and Company. She's been in the accounting field
- 9:49Speaker 2: with major energy companies. Guess what she could be in
- 9:52Speaker 2: the freaking treasurer. Jay Edwards has no qualifications except he's
- 9:57Speaker 2: politically connected. If you turn out and you vote for
- 10:01Speaker 2: Rogner and Sturbitch, and we can pull those two victories off.
- 10:05Speaker 2: That'll be worth your efforts, my fellow patriots, that will
- 10:09Speaker 2: be upsetting the card and saying you can't just buy
- 10:12Speaker 2: my vote. So that's my attitude towards today's election.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Love it. Stay on the soapbox, Tom's Awastowski. We're gonna
- 10:19Speaker 1: hear your comments about the most recent Supreme Court the
- 10:22Speaker 1: talk station thinking about Casey Talks Station. It's Tuesday, finishing
- 10:29Speaker 1: up a half hour here with Tom's Awastowski. We the
- 10:31Speaker 1: People Convention dot Org is where you find Tom's website
- 10:34Speaker 1: and check out his podcast. Tom's Awastowski. We had a
- 10:36Speaker 1: recent Supreme Court decision saying you cannot use race to jerrymander.
- 10:41Speaker 1: That sounds like a perfect thing because we're not supposed
- 10:43Speaker 1: to be being racist when it comes to allocating the
- 10:47Speaker 1: jurisdictions for voting. I have never understood jerrymandering. It is
- 10:51Speaker 1: obviously one of the most political processes that happens in
- 10:55Speaker 1: this country. So if you vote for a bunch of Democrats,
- 10:57Speaker 1: they're going to read jigger the system and oh and
- 11:00Speaker 1: try to ensure that they stay in power. That's what
- 11:03Speaker 1: jerry mandering does, so you can't use race to do
- 11:05Speaker 1: that anymore. Tom.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Yeah, Supreme Court Justice gorse It's had a great line
- 11:11Speaker 2: in the decision saying, yeah, the way to stop being
- 11:14Speaker 2: racist is to stop doing racist things like this, okay,
- 11:18Speaker 2: because it was never intended that you could draw districts
- 11:22Speaker 2: to represent a specific race. That's totally against everything in
- 11:27Speaker 2: our constitution, and yet we get it for how many years, Brian?
- 11:31Speaker 2: And so this goes back to your point, Jerry, on
- 11:35Speaker 2: the record, Brian Thomas Thoms Alastowski eight, Jerry mannering should
- 11:39Speaker 2: not exist. It should be contiguous geographic areas, right, you know,
- 11:44Speaker 2: not all these twisty twirling, politically designed things. But unfortunately
- 11:49Speaker 2: we are at war. We are at war with the communists.
- 11:53Speaker 2: You said it flat out. There are many Democrats anymore.
- 11:56Speaker 2: This is a communist takeover our country. And here's the
- 11:59Speaker 2: dirty little secret that you know the media is trying
- 12:02Speaker 2: to cover up. They redistrict decades ago. There is no
- 12:06Speaker 2: way that the Democrat quote Communist party should have fifty
- 12:11Speaker 2: percent of the Senators and fifty percent of the House members.
- 12:14Speaker 2: They sold them, Brian, by by doing things like this
- 12:18Speaker 2: racial journeymanding stuff. And so when the Supreme Court said hey,
- 12:22Speaker 2: you can't do that, and they all quoted, They all
- 12:24Speaker 2: cried Jim Crow two point zero, except nobody points out, yeah,
- 12:28Speaker 2: the original Jim Crow was you. You were Jim Crow
- 12:31Speaker 2: one point zero. And this is fixing that. Now. People
- 12:35Speaker 2: don't understand, Brian. This is huge. This is not some
- 12:40Speaker 2: normal thing. This is not something you can just say, oh,
- 12:42Speaker 2: that's nice, or don't even know about it. We needed
- 12:45Speaker 2: this badly because literally, this one decision could change the
- 12:51Speaker 2: House from the you know, Republicans having four per seat,
- 12:55Speaker 2: you know, four seat majority to having a fifty seat
- 12:59Speaker 2: majority by year, so that we can't we get out
- 13:02Speaker 2: of this situation where oh the Democrats buy off one
- 13:05Speaker 2: or two Republicans and they stop everything we do. If
- 13:08Speaker 2: you have a fifty seat majority, you can actually maybe
- 13:11Speaker 2: legislate what a concept and so go to our website
- 13:16Speaker 2: we people can mention dot org. You'll see the article
- 13:19Speaker 2: there about the racial Germans Jurymannering decision, and watch the
- 13:24Speaker 2: CNN video that's listened that's embedded in that article where
- 13:28Speaker 2: they break it down. Because across the South, and I
- 13:32Speaker 2: just saw this morning when I got up, the Supreme
- 13:34Speaker 2: Court approved Louisiana delaying their primary from May nineteenth in
- 13:40Speaker 2: order to have a session to redraw their districts before
- 13:44Speaker 2: their primary comes up. They're doing this in Florida. Just
- 13:48Speaker 2: did it. Four new Republican seats, Louisiana, Mississippi, in North Carolina.
- 13:54Speaker 2: It's going to be like seven southern states are going
- 13:56Speaker 2: to do this, and when you change those seats, the
- 14:00Speaker 2: whole map is going to change, and we're going to
- 14:02Speaker 2: get something that reflects more accurately the people's values in
- 14:06Speaker 2: this country, not things that are fictitious are propaganda. It's
- 14:11Speaker 2: a huge decision and everyone needs to understand this is
- 14:15Speaker 2: the first step to our getting our country back well.
- 14:17Speaker 1: And obviously this was going to happen. Turn about fair
- 14:19Speaker 1: play the Democrats did in California. They had to overturn
- 14:22Speaker 1: a law on the books that allocated redistricting to it
- 14:26Speaker 1: so called independent panel. Get rid of that and put
- 14:28Speaker 1: it back in the hands of the Democrats to make
- 14:30Speaker 1: sure that they had more Democrat seats, or at least
- 14:33Speaker 1: a map that helped them to achieve more Democrat seats
- 14:36Speaker 1: in Congress. So they're doing it.
- 14:38Speaker 2: How about just Virginia, right, how about what just happened
- 14:40Speaker 2: in Virginia right now, that's going to get overturned. I
- 14:43Speaker 2: don't think this thing where Virginia is six' five and
- 14:46Speaker 2: they're going to make a ten to. One they violated
- 14:48Speaker 2: their constitution like five different. Ways so that's going to
- 14:52Speaker 2: go back into THE gop. Side it's a big. Deal
- 14:56Speaker 2: and the other thing is we're going to wait to.
- 14:58Speaker 2: See BUT i think The Suprie corps is going to.
- 15:00Speaker 2: Rule Election day is Election. DAY i hope people have
- 15:04Speaker 2: no idea how many seats that would. Say in twenty twenty,
- 15:08Speaker 2: four our, members The Reading People convention members in Southern
- 15:11Speaker 2: california were begging me for. Help we're begging us to
- 15:15Speaker 2: send people out there because The left just kept keeping
- 15:19Speaker 2: the polls open day after day for two, weeks and
- 15:22Speaker 2: these ballots would just, appear and we won like six
- 15:25Speaker 2: seats For republicans In Southern california on election. Day by
- 15:29Speaker 2: the time they were, done we had won one.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Seat, yeah, well how do we survive two hundred and
- 15:36Speaker 1: fifty years as a country until this most recent moment
- 15:39Speaker 1: in our country's, history where you had thirty plus days to,
- 15:42Speaker 1: vote we all managed to do it on one. Day
- 15:44Speaker 1: up until that, point in. Time it's amazing on horseback.
- 15:47Speaker 2: Right. Yeah walking to the polls you get people, are,
- 15:51Speaker 2: Oh i'm so inconvenience BECAUSE i got to go show
- 15:53Speaker 2: up the. Vote oh, Really now you go Get starbucks real.
- 15:57Speaker 1: Quick here going back to the whole idea of just
- 15:59Speaker 1: like takeing equally sized a grid in a, state and
- 16:03Speaker 1: rather than do it in these crazy twisted ways to
- 16:06Speaker 1: ensure that one person or one party or another gets,
- 16:08Speaker 1: elected why don't we have just equal mileage geographic. Breakdown,
- 16:14Speaker 1: like let's, say if you could use counties for, example
- 16:18Speaker 1: just make It Hamilton. County everybody In Hamilton county is
- 16:20Speaker 1: in one. District everybody. Weren't what is the traditional argument
- 16:23Speaker 1: against that? Conceptually, oh the.
- 16:26Speaker 2: Tridial argument is that we can't control the. Elections, okay,
- 16:31Speaker 2: Listen the thing The Tea party learned from the very
- 16:33Speaker 2: beginning is that they don't want fair. Elections you pointed
- 16:37Speaker 2: out that there's nobody on the ballot In. Cincinnati i'm
- 16:40Speaker 2: looking at my ballot right. Here in seventeen of twenty
- 16:44Speaker 2: Two republican races on my, ballot seventeen are. Uncontested on
- 16:48Speaker 2: The democratic, side there's sixteen out of twenty three why
- 16:52Speaker 2: is that they don't want fair, Elections they want rigged.
- 16:56Speaker 2: Elections both parties only want elections where they control who's
- 17:00Speaker 2: on the. Bout you can vote for anyone you want, To,
