• 0:00
  Speaker 1: From fifty five KRC the talk station, fifty five KRC.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Eight oh three, fifty five KRC de Talk Stations. I'm
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: very happy Wednesday to you, Judge Enna Paulaton about them
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: of the our as is always the case, but special edition,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: a little late edition. But that's great because V Bake
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Ramaswamy's back on the phone. Of course, gubernatorial candidate Ramaswamy
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: running against doctor Amy Lockdown acting sings me the choices obvious.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: V Bake Ramassam, v ve Ramasam Me, welcome back to
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: the morning show, my friend. It's a pleasure to having.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: You on here to talk to you. Brian. How you doing.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I'm doing fine. My daughter's getting married on Saturday. I
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: have to interject as I'm seeking prayers from every one
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: of every faith, please pray for better weather for Saturday.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: We're having an outdoor wedding.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: We'll pray for better weather and we will pray for
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: her to have a wonderful, married and happy life ahead.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: All right, Thank you and your family. Thank you very much.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: And that allows me to pivot over to one of
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the things that's sort of annoying me and I have
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: some people out there in this world that I have
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: a tremendous amount of respect for but they're telling me,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: and I hear this from time to time. It's not
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: an overwhelming volume, but from the people that I'm here
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: hearing it from, it's their knowledge, their intellect, their political
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: engagement makes me worried because they're smart people politically, and
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: yet they're planning on sitting out the election this November
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: because they don't want to vote for Amy Lockdown acting
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: for a multitude of obvious reasons. But apparently you're just
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: not quite good enough for mister Ramaswami. And I don't
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: know where the hell that comes from. VV for Ohio.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, read the campaign pledges, listen to anything that
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: this man has to say out in public when he's
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: talking about his campaign promises, what he wants to do
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: for the state of Ohio. How could anybody not embrace that?
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I don't know which folks you're specifically talking about,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: but I do think we have the biggest contrast between
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: two candidates in the history of our state. We have,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: in me, the most conservative governor that our state will
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: have ever had. I say that with pride and with confidence.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: And on the other hand, we have the first socialist
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: governor Ohio could have possibly elected, that is Amy Acting.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: And the question is do we want to embrace success?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Do we want to embrace family values? Do we want
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: to embrace all that made our state in our country great?
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Do we believe in freedom? Do we believe in economic opportunity?
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Do we believe in faith, family, patriotism and hard work?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: If so, I'm going to be the person who leads
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: this state accordingly. And if not, if you want a
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: state where envy and grievance governs, where effectively you bend
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the knee to a far left defund the police movement
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: that fights the rule of law and allows chaos to
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: sew on the streets of Cincinnati and other great cities
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: across our state, well there's another choice on the ballot.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: That's Amy acton. You know. Thomas Jefferson is credited with
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: saying this. He was the guy who signed the Declaration
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of Independence two hundred and fifty years ago. He admitted
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Ohio to the Union, and he famously said, Brian, the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: government you elect is the government that you deserve, Okay.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: And it's almost as if he was speaking to us
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: in the year twenty twenty six in Ohio, And honest
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to God, the reason I'm running is not for fame
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: or fortune. Okay, our family has been blessed. I've lived
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the American dream exactly at a height that would not
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: have been possible in any other country on planet Earth.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: And I'm running because I'm so grateful to this state
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and to this country for giving me those opportunities. But
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, the reality is that
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: American dream isn't going to pass on to our kids
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and their generation automatically. It's going to require leaders at
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the top will get it done. And so you know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: honest to God, whatever happens in this election, that the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: truth is, thanks to the blessings we've been given, my
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: family and I were going to be fine. The state
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: will not be fine. And I'm running for governor because
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I believe we have a moral duty to leave this
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: state better than we found it, and this is the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: year that determines that well.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: And this is all the reason one of the I
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: mean the multitude of reasons why I'm voting for you
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: and support your campaign. But you are a poster child
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: for what the American dream can be. You have freedom,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: you have liberty, you have a limited control government. I
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: know we're going in the wrong direction on that one.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: But you were able to go to school get a
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: world class education starting it. You know, you're k through
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: twelve and you went to Xavier High School, and you
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: went on to college, and you built a massively successful
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: business and you employed a whole lot of people when
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: w two employees like me, I like to interject from
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: time to time, mister Ramaswamy, are appreciative of the fact
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: that guys like you went out and were successful based
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: upon your merit, built businesses that gave people like me
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: a job. How is it that we are now we
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: are moving headlong into a society that wants to take
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: away everything that people like you built and handed out
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: to people who didn't demonstrate that of that ability. I'm
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: just frustrated if you can't hear my voice, sir.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I understand you, Brian, and my job as a
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: leader is to make sure we hear things back in
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the right direction. Okay, It's true, you're right that socialism
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: is gaining popularity. Look what happened in the time very
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: elections across the country for the Democrats last night. Democrats
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: socialists are taking over. I'm running effectively against one of
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: them here in Ohio, Amy Acting and I believe that
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the reason it's gaining popularity it's twofold number one is
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of people do feel like that American dream
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: is out of reach for them. Okay, home ownership is
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: becoming increasingly unaffordable for young people in their twenties and
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: in their thirties. Healthcare costs are going up, premiums are
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: going up. You think about even the cost of living
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: in the form of electric bills, they're going up two
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: x in different parts of the state. So so I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: understand the frustration that many people have. But the irony
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: is the socialist solutions proposed by Amy Actin and the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Democrat Party of today they leave the very people they
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: purport to help worse off. Where we're going to do
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: it is we're going to walk the walk. We're going
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to deliver actual solutions. You want to bring down electric bills.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: The answers produce more energy, including natural gas, but also
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: nuclear energy, which you and I have talked about. We're
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: going to make Ohio a leader in the country in
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: producing energy that's going to bring down electric bills starting
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: next year. You're going to bring down the healthcare premiums.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: It isn't by forgiving medical debt, which is what my
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: opponent has proposed. What about all the people who paid
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: their medical debts. And by the way, that doesn't even
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: go to address the root cause of why the medical
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: costs were so high in the first place. She has
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a twenty one billion dollar plan that's going to tax
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: hike taxes by twenty one billion dollars in chase high
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: paying jobs out of our state. That is lunacy. The
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: real answer how you're going to bring down healthcare costs,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I've laid out the first step. We're going to start
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: by going after the rampant Medicaid fraud and take billions
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: of dollars from people who should not be receiving those
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: payments and put it back in your pockets. So the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: people who are listening to this program, law abiding Ohioans
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: by bringing down their premiums, by doubling down on copay assistance,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: and patting their health savings accounts. This is the first
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: step of many more. You want to know what caused
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: those healthcare preums to go up in the first place.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: It is the residual of Obamacare over a decade ago
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: that eliminated millions of individual health plans and doubled health
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: insurance premiums caused many doctors, my wife is one of them,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: to have to spend often more time filling out paperwork
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: than they're able to spend seeing patients, which increases the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: cost of patient care. So it is those same socialist solutions.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Any actor who complains about educational inequality actually created the
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: conditions for that inequality. When she shut down the school,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati public schools were shut down for nearly two years,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: while Sainak High School, where I went to high school,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: that was close for five days. Those kids in those
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: public schools will never get those two years of their
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: education back. So the socialists who preach about inequality actually
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: create the very inequality, Brian, that they complain about. Now
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: it's up to us, right, is that the direction we
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: want to go. It's on the ballot this year. It's
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a competitive mid term cycle. That's one choice we could make.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: But as Thomas Jefferson's creditor was saying, the government you
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: elected the government you deserve. And the reason I'm running
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: is I know we can do this. Okay, if there
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: was someone else in the state who I felt could
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: do a better job of leading our state to be
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: a model state for Texas and Florida and Tennessee to
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: look up to, rather than the other way around, to
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: lead Ohio to new heights. If there was somebody else
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: better suited to do it, you know what, I would
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: be taking the money I'm investing in my campaign and
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: putting it behind them. Because this is not for fun,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: This is not for you. Don't do this for any
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: other reason other than believe you're in my position. You
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: do this for one reason because you believe you can
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: make a difference. And I believe I have a moral
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: duty to do it. I believe we have a moral
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: duty to do it. And if you share the great
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: values this country was built on faith, family, patriotism, and
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: hard work over victimhood, psychology, woke in doctrination, under ideology,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and climate obsession. Okay, those are your choices, and I
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: believe that in the end, individual, family, nation, and God
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: beats race, gender, sexuality, and climate every day. But we
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: have to stand for what's right, and I do believe
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: that in the process we're going to be able to
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: create a better life for the twelve million people who
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: live in this state. Raise those paychecks, bring down those costs,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: improve those schools. And that's, not, by the way, a
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: particularly partisan message. I don't think it should be. I
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: don't care whether you're calling yourself a Republican, an orphaned
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Reagan Democrat, an independent, politically homeless, libertarian, whatever you are.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: If you care about giving your kids the same shot
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: at the American dream that this state gave to me
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and my family, and if you care about giving your
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: kids that world class education that will equip them to
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: compete in the future, then we're going to work with you.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: We're going to work together to lead Ohio to greater
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: heights than we have ever seen. What is that American dream?
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: We celebrate a Father's Day, right, I'm a father of
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: three young kids. We had our first Father's Day. I'm
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: happy to report with our four month old daughter, which
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: is a beautiful thing, Brian, to celebrate, and you know it,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: you know, And I think I was reflecting a lot.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: What do I want for my kids? What I want
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: for them? I want them to be healthy, I want
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: them to be safe. I want them to get a
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: great education, and I want them to be in a
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: position that allows them to achieve whatever their unique dreams
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: are and have financial security along the way. That doesn't
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: mean you have to have a big inheritance. It just
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: means you have to have the starting point to be
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: able to pursue your own dreams, whatever those may be.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: And then I reflect on that, Brian, I think I
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: took nearly every parent in this state wants for their kids,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: whether it's a father in the inner city or a
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: mother in a rural community. This is what every parent
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: wants for their kids. And when I'm talking about cleaning
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: up the streets back in the blue restoring law and order,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that's for safety. When I'm talking about bringing standards to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: our schools, that's to ensure that our kids get the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: education they deserve. When I'm talking about combating Medicaid fraud
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and bringing down healthcare costs, that's ensuring that our population,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: including our kids, are healthy and able to thrive. And
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: when I'm talking about becoming a zero income tax state
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and bringing down the property taxes, that's to bring those
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: high paying jobs back to the state so you do
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: have that stable economic foundation from which to achieve more.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: That's where we are, byan, and I think that there's
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of people You'll cost the political spectrum that
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: would rather throw up their hands and complain and say,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: you know, BB, find something to be upset about. My
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: goal is to find solutions, Okay, My goals to improve
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: the lives of the people in this state so every
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: kid in Ohio can live the same American dream that
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I have and achieve so much more. And I believe
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: that's possible. Now that's why I'm running. But again that decision.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: The beauty of our system, our constitutional republic, in this
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our declaration of independence,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: is that's not up to me.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: It isn't up to It's up to you.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: It's up to us well, and it requires everyone to
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: show up, do their part, and shape the future they
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: want to see, rather than to be shaped by it,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: which is what's going to happen if we put a
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: socialist in charge.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Dare I say Reagan esque inspiring message, which is always
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: what I get from you, Vivi Ramasm, which is why
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I'm in favor of you. I love your platform, I
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: love your policies, I love your embracing of the American dream.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I love the fact that you live the American dream
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: and are in fact a poster child for what it
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: can bring about with the freedoms and liberties and our
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: constitution guarantees. Vote Vivague Ramaswami in November. VIVI, I will
