  Speaker 1: V Talk Station. 838 on a Friday. Sincere thanks to
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the callers who tried to get in, but one segment late,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: better late than never. Welcome, Jack Windsor. I was worried
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: about you, brother. I thought maybe you got all wrist-slashy
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: after the Tuesday election results, and we lost you, man.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. I know you got some pent-up frustration, and
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: it's shared equally with my listening audience, but as I've
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: been telling everybody, you know what? Don't Let those fill-in-the-blank
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: FCC noncompliant descriptive term get you down. If they live
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: inside your head and you walk around and your day
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: is ruined and your week is ruined and the next
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: couple of years of your life feel ruined because they won,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: then they win. Another battle. The battle in your head.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Stay positive. Stay strong. Let's keep fighting the fight. At
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: some point, the weight of their stupidity will fall down
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: upon them. Jack Windsor from TheOhioPressNetwork.com. Appreciate you indulging me
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: with that little intro, but I had to get it
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: out of my system. Welcome back, my friend.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, it's always an honor and a
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: pleasure to be here. I am fully responsible. I had
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: an alarm set on my phone. I was doing another hit,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: and my alarm didn't go off, and I'm talking, and
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: literally in the middle of my sentence, I hope this
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: makes you laugh, I told the other person, I go,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: got to go, hung up, and then I jumped right on.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: So that's on me. My alarm, I must not have
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: set the alarm the right way.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: It's good to be here.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Listen, what you just said, I want to tee it
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: up this way, and then we can talk about whatever
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: you want. I don't know if you, have you ever
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: seen the movie miracle, Brian?
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I can't remember. I've seen so many movies, Jack. I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: can't remember the ones I've seen and haven't seen. Remind
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: me real quick.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: It's, it's, it's the movie about the 1980 U S
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: hockey team.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, I did.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So remember when Kurt Russell's in the locker room
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: and he gives that really just moving speech and he starts,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I can't repeat it verbatim, but he says basically great
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: moments are made of great opportunities. And that's what you
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: have here this evening, man.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Well, Great moments are born of great opportunities, and great
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: opportunities are on the heels of great losses. Where there
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: is a great disruption, there is always an opportunity to
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: learn a lesson and to take that great opportunity and
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: do a great thing. That's what people need to be
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: focused on. You're going to live your life anyway. You
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: get to choose. Are you going to find the opportunity,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: capture the opportunity, and turn it into a moment a
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: year or two years down the road? That is the
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: only way out of this. I am as frustrated, angered,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: concerned about the future of Ohio and the country as
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: anybody else. But I think that's where we have to
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: start in a mindset.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Fair enough. And putting aside the concerns of some out
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: there who believe maybe the election was stolen, I don't
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: need to go down that road, but the numbers were
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: pretty damn overwhelming. The tenuous connection that the Republican Party,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: as evidenced by Donald Trump's victory a couple years ago,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: The tenuous connection that the Republican Party had with those
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: wings within the Hispanic community, within the black community, with others,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: that he was able to get them over to support
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: his campaign. But apparently the bubble was burst and they
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: all got let down and shifted dramatically back over to
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the Democrats. And we even lost a lot of Republicans
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: who had the nerve to vote for a Democrat, which
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't really– As mad as I might be about any
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: given politician, there is no way I'm going to cast
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: a vote for a Democrat knowing where the Democratic Party is.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: So that sort of surprises me. If you can address
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: that phenomenon, Jack Windsor. Yeah.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: So I'm still really trying to get into the numbers.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: There's a problem in Ohio because voters are classified Democrat
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: or Republican based on whether they pull a primary ballot.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: And the challenge in Ohio is there are a lot
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: of voters who don't vote in the primary. They vote
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: in the general election. And so they're unaffiliated voters. In fact,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: the largest pool of voters in Ohio are unaffiliated. So
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: were true Republicans voting for Democrats? I'm not sure. But
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: certainly unaffiliated voters did more this election than they did
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: just two years ago. Now, one of the bans that
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: has been highlighted by Breitbart, I believe, the 18 to
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: 29-year-olds flipped 55 points in just two years. Now, I
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: don't know how big that pie is. Maybe it's 7%
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: of the electorate. But I think that's a signal, right?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: It's not the full data set, but it's a signal.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: And here's what I really boil it down to. And
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: it's why I think J.D. Vance came out Wednesday and
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: said what he said. America first, no new wars. I'm
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: going to fix the economy. Those were some of the
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: many things that Trump promised. And there are a lot
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: of people who feel like he went back on his word,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: had a war that cost lives and cost money. It
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: increased the price of gasoline it increased the price of
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: everything because diesel touches everything uh and also there are
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: a lot of people on the right side of the
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: aisle i saw this in social media six months before
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the election who believe that we're in iran and doing
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: other things at the at the at the behest of
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: bb and the israelis yeah so there are a lot
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: of people who don't feel like he's put america first
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: and look he didn't say i'm going to make things
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the cheapest in the history of the world and fix
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: it completely he said we're going to make it better
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: and we did economically Gas prices are not $ 5 a
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: gallon like they were in 2022. Inflation is not peaking
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: at 9% like it did in 2022. But Americans don't
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: care because we're still paying more than we thought. Anybody
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: who sells will tell you if you over promise and
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: under deliver, you create an expectation and then dissatisfaction. And
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I think those three things together really turned off voters.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: If you remember in 2024, it was a resounding victory.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: People were coalesced and they said, let's go do this.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: And two years later, they were like, wait a minute,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: we voted for this. What the hell has changed? And
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I think from a national headwind standpoint, that was extremely
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: problematic to overcome.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Well, and, you know, I suppose the bubble seems to
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: have burst insofar as the Trump magnetism or whatever. What
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I observed and, you know, feel free as a political
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: observer to draw a different conclusion. It seems to me
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: based upon, you know, maybe J.D. Vance's post. with regard
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to blaming the war on this calamity that happened Tuesday.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: But there are other prominent politicians saying things out loud
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: critical of Donald Trump now. It seems to me that
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: after the election, the whole idea of keeping quiet on
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: any criticism of Trump for fear of alienating the rabid
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: MAGA folks has disappeared now. And in order to diss
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: themselves from evil orange man as we get close to 2028,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: They're going to have to start showing that, no, no, no,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I was not a MAGA always kind of person because
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the Democrats aren't going to have Donald Trump to be
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: their whipping boy and their evil enemy anymore. He's going
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to be gone. I guess kind of ask is this
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: corollary question. Sorry for the compound long winded nature. What
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: are they going to do without Donald Trump?
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, I think I talked about a
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: year ago on this and maybe you and I've talked
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: about it before. The Republicans in Ohio have done it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Republicans all over the country have done it. It's kind
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: of like the Me Too movement for MAGA. Yep, I'm
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: a Trump acolyte. That's me, man. America first, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: But who are you really? And I think that's where
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: there's the chink in the armor. A lot of people
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: are going, I hear you say that you're MAGA, but
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: what's going on nationally, MAGA's not MAGA. We're not putting
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: America first. Prices are not coming down. We're not abstaining
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: from fighting other people's wars. And so when you brand
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: yourself that now, all of a sudden, the national headwinds
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: are on your shoulders and it's going to be a
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: time of reckoning. And frankly, there were a lot of
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: people in the beginning, Brian, who didn't like Trump, but
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Trump inspired the populist movement and they got behind him
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: because they didn't want to get picked off. Well, that's gone.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: He's a lame duck now. So those people will come
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: out of the woodwork. But national headwinds are not the
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: only problem that we have in Ohio. There's a whole
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: host of problems there. And I know you probably have
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: to take a break soon. And I can unpack some
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: of those. But don't let anybody in Ohio tell you
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: that this happened only because of national headwinds. Ohio Republicans
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: have their own host of problems they need to solve
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: pretty quickly.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Well, isn't that a nice segue point? Pause. We'll bring
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: you back. That's called a tease. Jack Wins is good
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: at that. TheOhioPressNetwork.com. Follow him throughout the week. Bookmark the website.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: We'll bring Jack back after these brief words. Could you
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: use a hand with the information and the books? Get
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: a copy of Joshua Lysak's book, Haitians of Springfield. Frightening
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: stuff that is, but you know, reality is something different
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: than what you're sold in the mainstream media. And you
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: get reality at theohiopressnetwork.com. It's Jack Windsor's site. Jack's on
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the show with a nice tease about what's going on
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: here in Ohio compared to the national problems we're facing.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Jack. Yeah, so you and I have talked ad nauseum
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: on this show about Vivek and Our concerns played out, right?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: He received fewer votes than any of the other Republican
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: statewide candidates on Tuesday. And I'm going to go back
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: to a moment in time. I'm sure that you, your listeners, me,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: my listeners, our friends, our friend groups have been saying
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: for a long time that American culture is broken, that
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: the Marxist march through our institutions had been complete, that
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: our kids were being taught what to think and not
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: how to think in school. And we were all in
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: agreement on that. But I want to take you back
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: to around Christmas last year. Do you remember when Vivek
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Ramaswamy made some comments about other countries that are leading
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: internationally and how their kids study math and our kids
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: play football and other such things? Do you remember the
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: backlash from that, Brian?
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Listen, there's backlash to anything coming out of a conservative-leaning person.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: So I don't specifically recall hearing that backlash, but it
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me a whit.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: So there were a lot of people who– one of
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: the narratives that surrounded Vivek's candidacy was he's going to
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: do the H-1B thing, bring in a bunch of Indian
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: immigrants and replace American jobs, right?
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: And that all stemmed back to that December– I think
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: it was around December of 2025 social media post. Now,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: that right there should have been an aha moment. If
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I criticize my wife lovingly, if I say, hey, honey,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: maybe you could ask me that in a little different voice,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: that kind of sounds nagging. I'm okay with that. If
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: another man criticizes my wife, gloves come off, right? So
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: when Republicans are saying it, it's okay. But when Vivek
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: says it, people go apoplectic. That should have been a
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: moment that people went, oh, Republicans are not looking at
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: him like a member of the family. We better figure
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: that out.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Good point.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: And that was the beginning. And Vivek died by a
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: thousand paper cuts. His political candidacy died by a thousand
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: paper cuts. You can throw on all the other stuff.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: But there was that part of it. There was this
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: narrative that he bought his endorsement or the Rhino establishment
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: had him endorsed early. That really wasn't true. There are
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: some people who will still argue with me on that.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: No, I'm agreeing with you all across the board. You know,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I've been pointing out because I've heard it directly from
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: people's mouths, his religion and maybe even the color of
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: his skin was a reason that they would not vote
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: for him. I mean, I'm like, you want Governor Amy,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Amy Act, Governor Amy Act. I'm sorry, Jack, it's still
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: bringing bile up in the back of my throat that
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: we're that dumb that we're going to elect someone who
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: did everything she did and wouldn't even bother debating anything.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: The candidate wouldn't articulate principles, just promised she was going
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: to lower the price of goods without articulating an argument
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: in favor of how she's going to do it. Anyway,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: we went down that road, and part of the reason
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: is some people carrying a chip on their shoulder thinking,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I guess, that we live in a theocracy.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, there's a lot. First of all, I
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: think Vivek could have defined himself better out of the gate,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: and because he didn't, because there were some chinks in
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: the armor, so to speak, you know, and I kind
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: of gave you the warning shot over the top with
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: So if he had defined himself, maybe things wouldn't have
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: gone as sideways. But here's the other part. Amy Acton
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: is an empty suit. You and I know that. She
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: was incompetent as the health director. But you know what
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: she and her campaign did successfully? They created an archetype
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: and flipped on MAGA what MAGA became powerful by. She
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: made it look like she was David. And Vivek was Goliath.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: He was the outsider. She was the outsider. She was
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: the little guy. He was the guy that was the
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: establishment rhino guy who had all the money. And she
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: was fighting against him. And it worked. That was an
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: example of selling the sizzle and not the steak. And
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: so I think there's a lesson there in messaging for Republicans.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: A lesson in messaging that we need to appeal to
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: people who aren't paying any attention whatsoever to politics. That
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: her message was able to successfully convince people that was
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the truth. That is a reflection of ignorance among the population, Jack.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, and here's the problem with that. Guys like us
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: and that are guys and girls that are listening, we
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: don't want to give a man a fish. We want
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: to teach him how to fish. We want to correct
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: how people think that some people will never be corrected.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: That can be futile. So what you have to do
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: is influence them instead. That's how Amy Hacton and the
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Democrats win. They sell the sizzle. They don't worry about
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the steak.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Well, and the other thing I must observe before we
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: part company, at least I am of the mind, And
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I've always been in awe of the Democrats' ability to
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: get people up and vote. They coordinate. They're social media savvy.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: They're interacting all year long through their activism and their
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: protests and their pick a left-wing cause. They're all energized
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: all the time. You know, some left-winger over there has
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: got a different cause. Well, I'm a left-winger over here
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: with some other cause. I'll join in the fun. They're
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: clearly connected, and it clearly works with them to get
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: them to go out and vote. It does.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: And I think part of it, listen, I'm not a
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: social scientist, but I think part of it is people
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: who are wired to be Democrats are more collective by nature.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: People who are wired to be libertarian or Republican are not.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: And one of the problems in the Republican Party is
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: instead of being a collective person, I want to figure
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: out how do I profit off of this? And so
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: you get people who fight for their own little fiefdoms
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: instead of uniting and fighting together as a party member.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Well, hopefully the destruction of our country and the elimination
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: of the Constitution and the enactment of these broad social
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: policies that are already bankrupting our country will get people
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: to wake up and think, hmm, maybe the Tea Party
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: was right. Fiscal responsibility, limited government, and free markets are
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the only way to go. Jack Windsor, TheOhioPressNetwork.com. I appreciate
• 14:26
