• 0:05
  Speaker 1: very happy Monday to you made extra special. Welcome back
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: to the fifty five CARC Morning Showed. A very Happy
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: New Year to the next Governor of the State of Ohio.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: VV.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Ramaswami vivike Ramas sam Me. It's a pleasure to have
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: you back on the show, sir. Welcome.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Good to talk you, Brian, Thank you Mom.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Doing great list as great as I can be. I
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: thought we might have hit the ground running. It a
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: little bit slower encountering your twenty twenty six, but I
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: keep joking. I've got like six months of flood of
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: breaking news stories that you know normally would take place
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: every a long period of time, all crunched into a
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: tiny little amount of space. There's a whole lot to unpackage.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I hope the whole year isn't this complicated. But I'm
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: looking forward to November because I'm looking forward to you
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: being elected as Ohio's next governor. Way ahead and all
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a polling from everything I can tell, and you've kind
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: of solidified the team. You've selected Rob McCauley as your
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: running mate. What led you to choose Rob over the others?
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Who were under consideration v Vake.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Well, look, there was, first of all, a lot of
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: great people in office and running for office and even
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: not running for office who I considered. But it's going
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: to be a team effort. But the reason I selected
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Rob as Lieutenant governor is, think about it, Brian, is
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I'm an entrepreneur, I'm a businessman. I'm not a politician,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: and I come from the outside, and We're going to
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: shake things up where necessary. Right, I'm going to tax reform,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: regulatory reform, you name it. But in order to actually
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: turn that vision into reality, I wanted a governing partner
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: who does have the experience of passing laws, understanding the
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: effectiveness of working with the legislature, and in that department,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I think there's nobody better than Rob, who, by the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: age of forty, got to be Senate president in Ohio.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: He had served in both the House and the Senate.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, he isn't somebody who's off
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: his peak, and you know, in the Rocker I should
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: say he's a young man still, he's about the same
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: age as me. He's of the next generation, and so
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I think he brings that youthful perspective and energy while
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: still actually having legislative experience that I don't have have,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: But I do bring the outsider experience of the business
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: executive and an entrepreneur, and I think that's going to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: be a powerful one two punch combination. Not just to
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: talk about policy changes, not just to make noise on
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: social media, right, which are too many politicians focus on
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: these days, but to actually deliver meaningful change that lifts
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: up the lives of allolands, that puts more money in
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: your pockets, and also equally importantly improves the quality of
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: our schools.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm focused on, fair enough, And I guess
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: what I'm hearing is you are demonstrably successful as a businessman.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: You know how business works, and you work that to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: your own personal success. You plan on bringing that to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the state of Ohio. Having that keen understanding McCauley, I
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: guess understands the sausage making process. Can I put it
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: that way, sir?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's exactly right. And you know there's a famous
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: man born in Ohio and by the name of Thomas
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Edison who famously said a vision without execution is a hallucination.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: All right, So I'm bringing division and I'm also going
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: to be able to execute, but I want a governing
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: partner who helps me execute with the legislature because a
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: lot of what I want to do, some of it
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: we can do through executive power, but a lot of
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: what I'm going to want to do is going to
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: require legislation. That's going to be Rob helping me work
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: with our legislature, which he knows in and out. That's
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the sausage making that's required. And he's able to do
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: it while still being young and energetic, and I like
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: that about him. And look, let's talk about the goals,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: not just talk about sausage making. Let's talk about why
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: we're in this, which is not only do we want
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: to bring costs down, and this is the focus across
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the board in the country, but I want to also
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: be the state that actually makes you wealthier, increases your
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: after tax take home pay by rolling back property taxes.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I want to deliver the biggest property tax rollback we
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: have seen in the United States of America. And I
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: want to make Ohio zero income tax state while we're
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: at it, and you able to roll back both income taxation,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: property taxation, and even regulatory taxation. Yes, the reason your
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: electric bills are seventy eighty percent hiring some parts of
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the state. Is because of the regulations that inhibit energy production.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: The reasons with a tax, the reason off his platform,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: he's promising a reform on energy and I'm laughing out
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: loud vay because I'm still walking funny since the last
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Duke Bill I got. I couldn't believe my eyes. We
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: need to do something about that control. Yeah, lowering the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: price of energy will put out money in our pockets.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, I've been talking about this is the day I
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: launched the campaign. Now. I launched the campaign in Fibruary
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: of twenty twenty live now right, and so I already
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: twenty second Februar of twenty twenty five. I said that
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: our electric bills are going to continue to go up
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: because of the supply demand imbalance, and a lot of
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: people told me that, I don't think people believe you
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: on that. Well, then summer last year rolled around, and
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: then fall last year rolled around, and what do we see?
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: We saw that spike. And so I do think we
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: need a governor who is an entrepreneur, who's a businessman,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: who's a to see where the puck is going. Even
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: economically and make those decisions in a calculated, thoughtful way
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: for Ohioans. I've built successful companies. I'm proud to say
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: because of the opportunities I've been given in this state.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: The education that I gained in Cincinnati, went to public
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: school thre eighth grade, went to Saint X for high school.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: So I'm so grateful for the opportunities I've been given.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: But to be one of the most successful businessmen probably
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: in the last several decades coming out of this state,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I know how to solve the problems that this state
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: faces too. And with Rob at my side, working with
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the legislature, We're just going to get things done, not
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: just talk about it, but actually act. And I'm looking
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: forward to starting next January so it can actually deliver
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: on bringing down those electric bills, bringing down those property taxes,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: and eventually bringing the income tax down to zero.
• 5:49
