  Speaker 1: Moving it back from eight oh five FOP President Ken Kober,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and we're moving Ken back and thank you Ken for
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: adjusting to the schedule because Vvik Ramaswami is going to
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: be on the program late. Addition to the show lineup
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: which is Welcome to Me eight oh five with goodnatorial
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: candidate Ramaswami and then Judge ennenal Polatano at E thirty
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: without further ado, Welcome back Donald Neil, State director for
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: AFP Action in Ohio. Could you have you back on Donovan.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: It's always good to be with you, Brian. I must
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: line up this morning.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Oh that's a great lineup, isn't it? And I really
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: like ramas Swami and I hope people put down their
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Some suggest racism, and others suggest the fact that he's
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: not Christian. That won't won't merit a vote. And many
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: of my people, I've seen people that I have tremendous
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: amount of respect for, say they're gonna sit this one out.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: They can't vote Acting, but apparently, I guess Ramaswami is
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: just not good enough form or whatever, so they're gonna
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: sit on their hands guaranteeing Amy Acting is the next
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: governor of the state of Ohio. That to me is
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: bat crap and saying, Donovan and neilf you don't mind
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: me saying that out loud, you've capitulated. You're throwing out
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: good for this of the fact that the person's not great,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: thus guaranteeing victory for the poorest candidate we've got available
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: to us, Donovd, that doesn't make any sense. Are you
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: hearing any of that out on the door knocking campaign?
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Well, there's always people who are belly ach and as
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I've said before, you can have Donald Trump and Ronald
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Reagan run as governor and lieutenant governor here in state
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: of Ohio and they'll still be a handful of folks
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: who say they just aren't conservative enough. And so, you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: ignore the belly acres. Do the hard work. Get out
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and vote. That's what you gotta do.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Get out and vote. That's what AFP is all about,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: helping people get out and vote and trying to sway
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the hearts and minds of those people who might harbor
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: a similar notion, which is insane anyway, Donovan, how did
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: it go on Monday?
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Oh? It was phenomenal, Brian, I mean, a great celebration
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: of America. We had three hundred and fifty patriots. Really again,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I want to shout out George Brunham in I know
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: he's a front of the show. Oh yeah, George brought
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: a bus of folks up. So we had folks from Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo, Youngstown, Akron.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: We had country music star Kofe Anderson perform the national
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: anthem as well as a set of some of his
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: greatest hits. We had US men's national team, three time
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: US men's national team Brad Friedel do a fireside chat
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: with Jack Windsor. We had veterans, we had parents and educators,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: and it seemed like it was overall a great time
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: in a celebration of the greatest country on Earth as
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: we approach her two on our and fiftieth birthday.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Question for you, Donald and Neils A little tongue in
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: cheek here, but hey, were any of the three hundred
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and fifty plus people that showed up for that paid
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to come from where they came from to get to Columbus?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Were they making ten, fifteen, twenty bucks an hour to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: show up and support America?
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: No? No, all these folks you know got out of
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: work early on a Monday. You know, we did provide
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: bus transportation. We did provide that opportunity. But you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: all of these folks right are volunteers with our county chapters,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: so they meet with us every couple of weeks to
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: work on the policies and issues that we work on.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: And there were a number of folks from Central Ohio
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: who you know, we've seen it, we've worked with at
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: different events and have come out and it's all volunteers,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: America's patriots, just celebrating the greatest nation on earth.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: It is indeed, that's something we all need to keep
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: in mind as we celebrate the twohundred and fiftieth anniversary
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: of the greatest country ever created on this planet, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: so many people wanting to tear it down. Honestly, I
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: got to tell you, I'm really heartbroken by the outcome
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: of the New York elections, and not that it should
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: really come as any surprise from here that it should
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: break my heart because we knew this was inevitable. But
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the radical, radical left lean shift in the Democrat Party.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: They're pushing out all of the arguably at least saying
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: or candidates in favor of these hardcore socialists that is
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a direction that is absolutely troubling and mind boggling to me, Donovan, Well, I.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Mean it is, it's a very real problem, and it's
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: all the reasons you know. We know at our organization
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: we look to work with anyone to do good. But
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: what we're finding increasingly on the left, and it's something
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: to be warned about because it's starting to creep into
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: the right in some regards as well, but certainly on
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the left, the progressive wing of that party, the Bernie Sanders,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the Elizabeth Warrens, you know, they're they're dominating the candidacy
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: on that side of the aisle. And the ideas that
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: are percolating from that are directly you know, socialist Marxism
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: type ideas that you know, our collectivism rather than than individualism, right,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: which is our nation was founded, as you know, on
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: individual individual liberty, not collectivism, and so we need to
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: push back against those ideas with the better ideas that
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: you know are very easy to go look for, right
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: if you look at the founding documents that our nation
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: were birthed upon. These we know the ideas that work.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: We have to be ready to go and push back
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: and fight for the ideas that that made this country.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: So great, no question, And I think a lot of
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the the advancement the far left has made is just
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: simply as a consequence of this perpetual drum beat of
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that's been driven into everybody's minds. Everybody's fearful of something,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and oh my god, when there's fear out there, there
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: has to be a government solution for whatever is troubling us.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: And that's how the government increases its power and control
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: over us, you know, with this great solution to all
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the problems. You know, remember the Great Society programs that
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: was going to solve poverty in the United States. How
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: many trillions and trillions of dollars have we thrown down
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: those various government programs from the Johnson administration and not
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a single shift in poverty. Rather, things seem to have
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: gotten worse.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: It's gin up concerned, gin up frustration, and they're going
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: to come and save us from ourselves, which is all
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I think, just nonsense.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Oh well, without a doubt. Yeah, that's the you know,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: that's the biggest that that's the thing we need to
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: be most vigilant of. Right, is this idea that so
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: many in Washington knows better than us. I mean, we
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: see it with programs even now, as like Social Security,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: which knows, you know, twenty thirty two, I know, to
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: be insolvent and some of you know the solutions that
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: still make the rounds and washed in DC on this
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: str let's just tax people a little bit more so
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: we can make sure they can retire with dignity. Rather
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: than actually getting to the structural problems with that program,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Folks just look to pull money out of somebody else's pocket.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: We don't. That's not what this That's not what made
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: this nation great. What made this nation great. It was
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: individual liberty.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Not only not only what made this gration. That nation
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: grew as individual liberty and not taking away what people
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: are out there making because they tend to reinvest it
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and then employ people. A point that I've been making forever.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: But you know, it's just the where this has been
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: tried and in practice before it results in fiscal calamity.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: It results in impoverished nations. Socialism is a guaranteed, demonstrable
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: recipe for disasters see world history. And yet it's always
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: like no, no, we're gonna do it different this time.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: This time it's gonna work. No, it's not.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Just haven't tried pure enough communism yet, bright I haven't
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: had a pure enough form of communism yet.
• 7:00
