  Speaker 1: A real fake piece of old, dated, you know literature
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: that they manufactured a while ago. But they were caught
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: flat footed. It's a good sign for us. In the end.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not a horse race guy. I'm not in this
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: to run against any particular one candidate amy act that
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I think will be a disaster for our stay on
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: many levels. But more importantly, I'm in this toled Ohio
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: to greater heights than we've ever seen because we have
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: a historic opportunity to step on the gas for our economy.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Right we have. We're doing great as a state in
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: many ways. But the way I'm looking at this is
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I'm a businessman. I know how to do this. Let's
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: bring high paying jobs back to our state. Let's take
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: our income tax rate eventually down to zero. Let's bring
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that property tax burden down. And in a lot of
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: our sectors, the regulatory burden is too high. We have
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: too many layers of government. Even as a red state,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: we can fix that. That's ultimately how you address this
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: rising challenge of affordability is put more money back in
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: your pockets and increase wealth. You have many people in
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a Democrat camp, including my opponent, who liked to villainize success.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Who like to villainize financial success. I want financial success
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: for every Ohio and I've achieved it. I was born
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and raised in Cincinnati, went to public schools through eighth grade,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: went to Saint X for high school. I was so
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: grateful to this state, into this country for giving me
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the opportunities that I've had in my life. We're raising
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: our kids now in Ohio and circumstances that frankly, my
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: parents would have never imagined when I grew up in
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Westchester and when we grew up in Evendale. But the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: reality is we have a chance to give every kid
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: in this state that opportunity, and much more me someone
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: who really knows what they're doing.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: So let me ask you about education, because I know
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: this is something that is very very important to you.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: And Chris and I were talking a few minutes ago
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: about the manifestations of these kids who were affected during
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the Wuhan, who missed out on serious amounts of schooling,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and we're seeing those effects taking place right now. How
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: do you address that in a meaningful way if you
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: were to become governor.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: So, look, we had to bring standards back to our
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: public schools. That's something that's been missing for a long time.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: We've got to be willing to say we used to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: have the third grade reading guarantee in Ohio. We got
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: rid of it. I think we got to bring that
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: back to say that if you can't read by the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: end of third grade, then you shouldn't go to fourth
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: grade in general until you can. Is that asking to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: level for crying out loud? Is it if we asking
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: too much there? I don't think so. Just to be
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: clear on this one, it's not even I'm not even
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: talking about reading out a third grade level, which is
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: what we actually need. I'm saying that at minimum, you
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: have to be able to read it at the end
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of third grade. Right. Many students are able to read
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: by kindergarten or first grade, but it should at least
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: be by the end of third grade. That's what sets
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: up a student for success in their life. And you
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: brought up the virus, right, this is important to understand.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: The person that I'm running against is the person who
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: led the crusade as health director to shut down our
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: public schools. Ohio was the first state in the country
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: to shut down our public schools. As I told you,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I grew up in Cincinnati. I went to public schools
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: myself through eighth grade before going to Saint X. Saint
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: X was closed for five days during the pandemic. Cincinnati
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: public schools were closed for nearly two years. Those kids
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: in those public schools will never get those two years
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: of their education back. And this is the crucial point
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: because the very people, including my opponent who I'm running against,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: who will preach about inequality, advance the policies that create
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: that inequality. So chances are next time it won't be
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a pandemic or a virus. It'll be some other question
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: that we don't know about today. But the question is
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: how did the leader make decisions? And to me, I
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: make decisions that advance the learning of our kids, not
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the bureaucracy that really runs our public schools today. Certain
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: leaders bend the knee and cater to that bureaucracy. I'm
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a leader when it comes to education who stands for
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: our students, and the same thing goes with respect our economy.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: You have many leaders, including on the other side, including
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: my opponent, who bend the knee to the bureaucracy that
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: regulates their economy. I actually focus on empowering the small
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: business owners and the entrepreneurs who create economic growth. That's
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the choice we face right. It comes down to very
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: simple choices. You want your property taxes to go down,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I'm your man. If you want them to go up,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: vote for any acton and the Democratic camp. Same thing
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: with respect to air income in the state. That's what
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I know how to bring. But if you put somebody
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: who is a far left in some cases even socialist
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: leaning leader like they have in New York City, your
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: business is fleeing our state in droves, and it would
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: be a shame to set back all the progress that
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: we've had in Ohio.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: What more to bring to the table. One more question
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: before I let you go. We're getting up against the
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: clock here. Early on in your campaign you talked about
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: how as governor you could help cities like Cincinnati deal
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: with crime issues, and that's something that Chris and I
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: were talking about it earlier today. As governor, how can you
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: reach down into cities like Cincinnati and other cities in
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Ohio and help them deal with the crime issues that
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: they're plagued with a great on a daily basis.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: It's a great question. It's the same way we're dealing
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: with our public schools bring standards back to law enforcement
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: expectations for local governments, and they're not getting state funding
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: automatically unless they're really meeting those standards. And if somebody
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: who grew up in Cincinnati, but you look at the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: journey of a place like over the Rhine where it
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: was when I was growing up, right, it was a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: place where we were warned not to go to having
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: a renaissance, but then now parts of the city receding
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: back into being places where older citizens aren't even comfortable
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: walking around. I was talking to two people over the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: weekend in Hamilton County who are an older couple say
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: they're now scared to walk around now that they live
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: in an apartment in the city. That's unacceptable. But we
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: can fix this. Empowered our great police officers. I do
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: back the blue. I do back our men and women
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: in uniform. Empower them to be able to do their
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: jobs without fear of looking over their shoulder for being sued.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Fix some of the judicial system issues with judicial reforms,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: then say that you are not going to just send
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a violent repeat offender back on the street with forty
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: dollars of bail or no bail, as it's happening regularly.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: And then let's also bring back some of the mental
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: health care, including mental health institutions where necessary, because our
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: jails are not the right form of mental health care
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: for the psychiatrically ill. In some corners, those are controversial
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: things to say, but for most Ohiglands, for most Cincinnatians,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: this is just common sense. It's not black versus white,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: it's not red versus blue. This is about common sense
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and standing for the people of Cincinnati. My hometown have
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: really unnecessarily suffered. One of the great cities in the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: United States of America is not reaching its full potential
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: because of that fear of crime. And when I'm governor,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: to the buck stops with me. All right, We're not
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: going to pass the hot potato to say, well, the
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: local government didn't do this, or that there's a lot
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: of funding that comes from the state. It's not going
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to be automatic. We're going to apply standards. We're going
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to do it in a sensible way. And I think
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of people, many including many of them have
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: historically voted Democrat in the urban core in the inner city,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: are going to be better off and understand they're going
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to be better off and I really invite them to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: join our coalition. You don't have to agree with me
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: on one hundred percent of issues to know that I'm
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: going to crush crime, including in cities like Cincinnati. I'm
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: going to improve the performance of our public schools, including
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati public schools. And we're going to bring high paying
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: jobs to Cincinnatians, to southwest Ohio and to every part
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: of Ohio. And that isn't about right versus left. That
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: is about up versus down, and I stand for up
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: for Ohio. So there are a lot of Democrats who feel
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: like they've been left behind by their party. You know what,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: there is a better way with a pragmatic business leader,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of independence who may feel politically homeless. You've
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: got a place in our coalition. You have a home
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: right here in this movement for Ohio. And for me,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: standing up for my hometown of Cincinnati is top of
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the list. And we will make sure that we're successful
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: in seeing this through. And appreciate it. Appreciate you having
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: me man, Thank you Vivig, thanks for coming on.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: This is Christopher and I just want to say that
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: the two commercials that your team released this weekend, they're awesome.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: I really like the introduction of the soon to be
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: first lady, your wife, your children, really just introducing you
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: and your family.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: To the state of Ohio.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: But I also like the other commercial that outlines hey affordability,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: talking about supporting law and order our police.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: We need a leader like that.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: At the state level to deal with the serious issues
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: that are facing the state of Ohio. So I just
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: want to thank you for those very excellent commercials that
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: I saw released this weekend.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that, Christopher. And look, I'm a family man
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: at the end of it, and that's why I'm motivated
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: to do this is we just welcomed our third kid,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: our first daughter into the world a little a month ago,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and you know, sometimes you look yourself in the mirror
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and ask yourself, why am I doing all of this?
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: And I'm doing it because I want our kids and
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: their generation to have the same opportunities that I have.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm not in this for the money. Thankfully
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: we've been blessed. I'm not in this for fame. There's
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: other ways to get that than running in a state
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: specific election, and I've come from that. I'm in this
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: because I know I can make a difference. I know
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: we can lead Ohio to be the top state in
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the country for our kids, for our families, for their generation. Mean, Christopher,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: you're a living example of that American dream yourself. Right.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I love your story. I love your success, both as
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: a businessman but also as an advocate, somebody who believed
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: in public service. And you know, unlike me, you're not
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: a Republican right here, You're an independent. But it doesn't matter,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: because the issues we're talking about are common sense issues
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: that are going to lift up the lives of Ohioans.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Protect them in our cities, bring back law and order,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: bring back accelerating economic growth, increase those wages, bring down
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: those electric bills and other costs that we know we
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: can bring down, and most importantly, over the long run,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: improve the quality of education for our kids. I don't
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: know anybody who disagrees with that, all right, So I
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: think that's why I'm running for governor, and we'll be
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: able to win this decisively with the support of your listeners,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: which I immensely appreciate. All Right, Butvik we'll have to
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: leave it there.
• 10:16

• 10:18
  Speaker 2: to fifty five KRC. Glad to know you're there, and
• 10:21
