- 0:01Speaker 1: Standard practice here in the 55 KRC Morning Show. Welcome back.
- 0:03Speaker 1: Tom Zawistowski. You can find him online, and I recommend
- 0:05Speaker 1: you do. WeThePeopleConvention.org. Check out the information there. He's really
- 0:10Speaker 1: trying to motivate everybody to get off their butts and
- 0:12Speaker 1: get out, and even if you have to hold your nose,
- 0:13Speaker 1: get out and vote like Christopher was saying. You've got
- 0:16Speaker 1: to vote conservative, vote Republican, even if they aren't as
- 0:19Speaker 1: conservative as you might want, even if they aren't maybe
- 0:22Speaker 1: your same skin color or something. Going back to Smitherman's
- 0:26Speaker 1: point about Vivek Ramaswamy, he's a demonstrably better candidate than
- 0:29Speaker 1: Amy Acton, but Got more than that race going on,
- 0:31Speaker 1: don't we, Tom Zawistowski? Welcome back to the 55 KRC
- 0:35Speaker 1: Morning Show, my friend.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Well, good morning to you. I hope you and Joe
- 0:38Speaker 2: and all your listeners had a fantastic Labor Day weekend.
- 0:42Speaker 2: I probably had the best one with my family in years.
- 0:44Speaker 2: It was nothing fancy, just a plain old picnic type thing,
- 0:48Speaker 2: but what a great weekend and really is awesome. And
- 0:52Speaker 2: then I got to hire Christopher Smith as a consultant.
- 0:56Speaker 2: Thanks for setting the table for this conversation. He did
- 0:59Speaker 2: an awesome job because he's absolutely right. The threat is
- 1:03Speaker 2: about the communist takeover of our government or more likely
- 1:06Speaker 2: the destruction of our government. And so we're trying to
- 1:09Speaker 2: figure out creative ways to fight that and message that.
- 1:12Speaker 2: And I sent out an email this morning explaining that
- 1:15Speaker 2: that's not as easy as it sounds because I know
- 1:18Speaker 2: what we want to say, but we aren't talking the
- 1:21Speaker 2: same language anymore, Brian. I mean, it's just, you know,
- 1:24Speaker 2: they don't know what commies are. They don't know, you know,
- 1:27Speaker 2: what socialism is.
- 1:28Speaker 1: No, that is exactly right. And of course, going back
- 1:30Speaker 1: to the education system, I mean, it's baked into the cake,
- 1:33Speaker 1: this whole woke ideology and nobody is responsible for the
- 1:37Speaker 1: problems that befall them. No one wants to have anything
- 1:39Speaker 1: bad happen to them. And when it does, it's somebody
- 1:42Speaker 1: else's fault. And that allows you to walk right into communism.
- 1:45Speaker 1: It's not your fault you didn't get a good education
- 1:48Speaker 1: or you didn't pursue opportunities. It's the billionaire's fault. It's
- 1:52Speaker 1: their fault. They're the source of everybody's trouble. Stir that
- 1:55Speaker 1: pot of class envy. That's Marxism, man. And it's a nice...
- 1:59Speaker 1: You know, like a blanket embrace when someone in political
- 2:04Speaker 1: power or seeking political power does maintain that it's not
- 2:08Speaker 1: your fault. You don't have anything to do with your
- 2:12Speaker 1: own circumstances. We're going to blame somebody else. It's easy
- 2:15Speaker 1: to follow that. I mean, it just makes perfect sense
- 2:18Speaker 1: that it's appealing, but it's a veneer on lies.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Yeah. So the question is, how do you counter that narrative?
- 2:27Speaker 1: Right.
- 2:28Speaker 2: That's our challenge. And, you know, I put out an
- 2:31Speaker 2: email today. I said, here's our normal billboard would say,
- 2:35Speaker 2: vote like your life depends on it. Elect every Republican
- 2:38Speaker 2: to defeat the commie Dems. And I put that out
- 2:41Speaker 2: and people wrote back and said, yeah, Tom, the problem
- 2:44Speaker 2: is no one under 60 knows what a commie is.
- 2:46Speaker 2: So it won't affect them at all. They don't know.
- 2:49Speaker 2: They think socialism is good. So we spent the weekend.
- 2:53Speaker 2: doing research on linguistics and youth culture and words to
- 2:58Speaker 2: try to figure out what words could we put on
- 3:01Speaker 2: a giant billboard that would communicate to them that communism
- 3:06Speaker 2: is bad without using those words.
- 3:09Speaker 1: All right, let's pause. We'll bring Tom Zee back to
- 3:11Speaker 1: talk about just that and this broader barn billboard program. 741.
- 3:20Speaker 1: The 55KRCD talk station, wethepeopleconvention.org. That's Tom Zalastassi's website. Talking
- 3:25Speaker 1: to Tom Z. And talking about young people not even
- 3:28Speaker 1: understanding what socialism is, and yet they go around parroting
- 3:30Speaker 1: it and saying they want it. Tom, your observations are
- 3:34Speaker 1: in line with the new Harvard Caps-Harris poll, finding that 77%
- 3:39Speaker 1: of voters under 25 believe their paychecks should be based
- 3:44Speaker 1: on merit and value of their work. Hmm. They want
- 3:47Speaker 1: to own their own home by large percentages. They want
- 3:50Speaker 1: to own their own businesses by large percentages. And yet
- 3:53Speaker 1: when you ask them if they like socialism, they tend
- 3:56Speaker 1: to embrace it, which kind of proves your point, doesn't it? But,
- 4:00Speaker 1: you know, when you talk about they don't know what
- 4:02Speaker 1: socialism is, if you read the DSA platform, it is socialism.
- 4:09Speaker 1: The problem is the next step. Okay, I'm reading the,
- 4:12Speaker 1: you know, nationalizing private industry, the elimination of private property.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Pick one. The problem is, I suppose the immediate knee-jerk
- 4:24Speaker 1: reaction to the uninformed and ignorant is, yeah, that sounds good.
- 4:28Speaker 1: The whole covetous greed envy thing, that sounds good, that
- 4:30Speaker 1: sounds good. But they never can work the math. And
- 4:36Speaker 1: nor do they calculate the incalculable, I would argue, interjecting
- 4:40Speaker 1: in there, Loss of freedoms and liberties that go along
- 4:43Speaker 1: with enacting a socialist platform. You are deprived of choices.
- 4:48Speaker 1: If the government owns the means of production, if the
- 4:50Speaker 1: government is responsible for the ownership of property, I guess
- 4:53Speaker 1: it's okay for government to own property, but not private people, Tom.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Then you are beholden to whoever's in government to decide
- 4:59Speaker 1: whether or not you have access to any of these things.
- 5:02Speaker 1: It's scary.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Well, it is scary. Remember that? I think it was
- 5:06Speaker 2: a movie phrase where they said, what we have here
- 5:08Speaker 2: is a failure to communicate, right? Because we were talking
- 5:11Speaker 2: past each other. And so, you know, the Barn Billboard program,
- 5:15Speaker 2: just to give your guys, your listeners a history, is
- 5:18Speaker 2: that back in 2020, after, in 2016, we elected President
- 5:22Speaker 2: Trump because we destroyed the left on Facebook and social media.
- 5:26Speaker 2: So what they did is they said, oh, we're going
- 5:28Speaker 2: to ban you guys from social media. And we were
- 5:32Speaker 2: stuck trying to find other ways to communicate. So I
- 5:35Speaker 2: went and tried to buy billboards from Lamar and the
- 5:38Speaker 2: big billboard companies. And oh, yeah, they said, well, we
- 5:42Speaker 2: won't sell you billboards to promote Trump. Like, how is
- 5:45Speaker 2: that legal? I don't know. We fought it. So what
- 5:47Speaker 2: we did, we said, OK, all right, screw you. We're
- 5:50Speaker 2: going to go to farmers and commercial buildings, and we're
- 5:53Speaker 2: going to say, if you have a barn on a
- 5:56Speaker 2: major highway, we will pay. The We The People Convention
- 6:00Speaker 2: through our Freedom For All PAC, okay, freedomforallpac.org, we will
- 6:06Speaker 2: pay to produce a 20-foot by 40-foot banner if you
- 6:10Speaker 2: will hang it on your building. And we got over
- 6:12Speaker 2: 100 buildings in Ohio to put them up, and we
- 6:17Speaker 2: were getting like 3 million exposures a day. So we're
- 6:20Speaker 2: going to do that again. And if any of your
- 6:22Speaker 2: listeners have a building or a barn on a major road,
- 6:26Speaker 2: you'll go to freedomforall, freedomforall, freedomforallpack.org. You'll learn all about it.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Just click and send us an email. Say, I want one.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Here's what size. And we'll pay for it and ship
- 6:40Speaker 2: it to you. The question is, what the heck's the message?
- 6:44Speaker 2: So we did a bunch of research with social media
- 6:47Speaker 2: and stuff like that. And you're right about that poll.
- 6:50Speaker 2: The young people, it kind of boils down to no
- 6:54Speaker 2: American likes people taking their stuff and giving it to
- 6:58Speaker 2: someone else. And that's really what socialism and communism is.
- 7:02Speaker 2: So on the email I sent out today and on
- 7:05Speaker 2: the billboard samples you'll see at freedomforallpac.org, we've come up
- 7:09Speaker 2: with some phrasing that describes socialism and communism without saying
- 7:15Speaker 2: those words. So one of them says, Free for them,
- 7:19Speaker 2: paid for by you. Vote to stop the Democrat socialist threat.
- 7:24Speaker 2: Vote Republican. Well, isn't that what it's about? It's free
- 7:28Speaker 2: for them, free housing, free school, but who pays for that?
- 7:32Speaker 2: The other one says free for them, taken from you.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Because that's what Mondami's doing, right? He's taking it and
- 7:40Speaker 2: giving it to somebody else. And then, you know, we're
- 7:43Speaker 2: trying to toy with, do we have to say the
- 7:46Speaker 2: words vote for Republicans? So we have one that says,
- 7:50Speaker 2: free for them, paid for by you, vote to stop
- 7:53Speaker 2: the dangerous Democrat socialist threat. It never says vote Republican,
- 7:59Speaker 2: but it's implied. So we're asking people to help us
- 8:02Speaker 2: figure out what wording is effective.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Well, and that seems to boil down to the message
- 8:06Speaker 1: we get from most days. Tom, our listener, calls in
- 8:08Speaker 1: 5 o'clock, 530 hour, don't vote Democrat. I mean, it's
- 8:12Speaker 1: a catchphrase. It's not that you're voting Republican. It's you're
- 8:16Speaker 1: not voting for someone that is inherently destructive to the
- 8:19Speaker 1: future of the United States of America. I don't know
- 8:22Speaker 1: how else to phrase it, Tom.
- 8:23Speaker 2: It's like.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I say I like to say vote for yourself,
- 8:28Speaker 2: vote in your own best personal interest. Now, that means
- 8:30Speaker 2: you're going to elect every Republican with a pulse, even
- 8:33Speaker 2: though you're not happy with them. But that's what you're
- 8:35Speaker 2: really doing. You're voting for yourself and for your country.
- 8:39Speaker 1: Well, isn't that revealing that you put it that way, Tom?
- 8:42Speaker 1: When you vote for yourself, it suggests that you have
- 8:44Speaker 1: something that you have a vested interest in that you
- 8:46Speaker 1: want to keep. You realize the unfairness of someone randomly
- 8:49Speaker 1: and arbitrarily reaching over and picking your pocket for something
- 8:52Speaker 1: that you work for. Maybe therein lies the revelation because
- 8:55Speaker 1: the young, woke socialists probably, and I've seen statistics, most
- 8:59Speaker 1: of them have some kind of highfalutin college degree, worthless
- 9:03Speaker 1: as it is. They can't vote for their own self-interest
- 9:06Speaker 1: because they're not looking at something that's value, valuable. They
- 9:09Speaker 1: don't have a home. They don't have a job. They
- 9:11Speaker 1: don't have an income. They apparently have no future because
- 9:13Speaker 1: they got some kind of, I don't know, ethnic studies
- 9:17Speaker 1: degree and a master's degree in it, and there's not
- 9:19Speaker 1: a job for them. So they're angry. They feel like
- 9:21Speaker 1: they've wasted their life. They're in debt. They can't vote
- 9:25Speaker 1: for their own self-interest because there is no self-interest to
- 9:29Speaker 1: stick to, to hold up for, to fight for. They're
- 9:32Speaker 1: desperate and they're afraid. That's where socialism creeps in.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Yeah, it plays on fear. And I don't know if
- 9:40Speaker 2: any of your listeners go to the Daily Wire website
- 9:44Speaker 2: and Matt Walsh, but he has a video about communism.
- 9:48Speaker 2: What is communism? To remind us. And wow, go watch
- 9:52Speaker 2: that short video. It'll just blow your mind because you
- 9:56Speaker 2: know we just forgotten all the atrocities so it's up
- 9:59Speaker 2: to us to remind them but how do you do
- 10:01Speaker 2: that in the world of sound.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Bites maybe study post-world war ii berlin um the wall
- 10:10Speaker 1: was to keep people in maybe study fidel's castro since
- 10:14Speaker 1: the revolution The denial of freedom to travel was designed
- 10:19Speaker 1: to imprison the populace so they couldn't leave? How about
- 10:24Speaker 1: post-revolution Soviet Union where they murdered tens of millions of people,
- 10:30Speaker 1: sent them off to the gulags in mass quantities, the
- 10:33Speaker 1: people who didn't abide and didn't believe in communism? Go
- 10:37Speaker 1: over to China and look at the post-revolution in China. Murdering, murdering,
- 10:43Speaker 1: murdering your political opposition. It's just over and over again, murder.
- 10:48Speaker 2: That's what Christopher was doing a great job, right? He
- 10:51Speaker 2: was saying to these construction workers and union workers, this
- 10:55Speaker 2: is not your father's Democrat party. These are not people
- 10:58Speaker 2: who love America. They hate everything about America. And if
- 11:02Speaker 2: you go to the DSA website, it tells you our
- 11:05Speaker 2: goal is to destroy America. Real simple, okay? Now at freedomforallpact.org,
- 11:11Speaker 2: you'll also see some flyers Simple one-page flyers that kind
- 11:15Speaker 2: of say, here's what they're about. Here's why you got
- 11:18Speaker 2: to vote against them. And you can copy those flyers
- 11:21Speaker 2: and start handing them out. We did a color one.
- 11:24Speaker 2: It's real nice, but we did a black and white
- 11:26Speaker 2: one that takes less ink so you can print it
- 11:28Speaker 2: on your printer. Go to freedomforallpack.org and download those flyers
- 11:33Speaker 2: and start handing them out and educate people.
- 11:37Speaker 1: Tom Zawistowski can't thank you enough for how easy you
- 11:40Speaker 1: make it for everyone to get off the butts and
- 11:42Speaker 1: get engaged and get involved. I can't beg enough for
- 11:45Speaker 1: my listeners to do just that. We have a real
- 11:47Speaker 1: threat facing us in November. And if we don't put
- 11:50Speaker 1: the brakes on it and stop it in its tracks,
- 11:53Speaker 1: we can just all kiss it goodbye, Tom. Right?
- 11:55Speaker 2: They're going to take our stuff. Mark it down. There's
- 11:58Speaker 2: no doubt about it. They're going to take your property,
- 12:02Speaker 2: your wealth. This is not a joke. This is not
- 12:04Speaker 2: a game. And here's the advantage we have, Brian. This
- 12:06Speaker 2: is a great advantage. They can say, oh, Trump is
- 12:09Speaker 2: a fascist. But he never goes around and says, I'm
- 12:12Speaker 2: a fascist and I'm going to do fascist things. They
- 12:14Speaker 2: got to make their case. They're actually saying, we're going
- 12:18Speaker 2: to destroy the Constitution. Get rid of the Senate. Get
- 12:21Speaker 2: rid of the presidency. Get rid of the Department of War.
- 12:23Speaker 2: We're going to take your homes. We're going to take
- 12:25Speaker 2: your apartments. They're saying it out front. Don't believe me.
- 12:29Speaker 2: Just go to the DSA website. Go to the We
- 12:31Speaker 2: the People Convention website. You'll see the clips. They're not kidding.
- 12:35Speaker 2: They're serious. You better be serious about protecting your own
- 12:39Speaker 2: personal wealth and freedom and liberty.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Tom's passion is genuine. It comes from the heart and
- 12:44Speaker 1: comes out of profound concern for the future of our
- 12:47Speaker 1: country and, of course, here in the state of Ohio
- 12:48Speaker 1: as well. Tom Zawistowski, wethepeopleconvention.org. We'll do this again next Tuesday.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Keep up the great work, my friend.
- 12:54Speaker 2: Thank you. Have a great week, guys.
- 12:56Speaker 1: Get engaged. $ 7. 50 right now.
