  Speaker 2: Teven thirty one. I'm a Wednesday and a happy one
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: to you time of the week when we get talked
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: with Donovan and Neil from Americans for Prosperity. You can
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: find them online and you should help out in any
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: way you possibly can. We need to gin up the numbers,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: get everybody shown up police on the conservative or libertarian
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: side of the ledger AFP action dot com. November is
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: fast approaching, isn't that right?
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: What?
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Ninety eight days Donovan, Neil, welcome back, my friend. Always
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: great having you on.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Brian, good to be back with you on Wednesday morning.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Ninety eight days. TikTok, TikTok.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I know, yeah, Well the countdowns on it is. We're
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: what probably about sixty sixty eight days or so until
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the first ballots are cast here in Ohio in the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six minuterm elections, and people still, Brian, aren't
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: quite sure what they're going to be doing when they
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: get to the ballot box. Can you believe it?
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: No? I can't, But then again, it's the struggle I
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: have every single day of the week with your arda
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: matters political. So few people have any time, at least
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: they think they have no time to pay attention to
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: political matters when it literally impacts so much of every
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: element of our life, it seems to me it should
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: be one of the most dominant things people should be
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: spending time on.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Well. Yes, and as I've said many many times over
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the years on the show, right, we're the weird folks,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you know, you, Me and Joe, We eat, sleep, and
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: breathe this stuff all the time. So I have a
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: little sympathy for our for our colleagues who don't friends
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and neighbors who don't have to, who don't know imburse
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: themselves in this every day. But it's important stuff to
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you know, from the price of milk at the grocery
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: store to gas in the car to you know, home
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and and uh, the opportunities you have in a job
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: to even pursue your career of your passion. Right, all
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: are impacted by who we send to represent us in Columbus,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: but even more so importantly Washington, d C. And this
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: US Center race that's coming up between Sharon Brown, John Houstead.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: It's a big one and it's gonna quit. It's quickly
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: becoming the number one race to watch the United States
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: for the balance of power in DC.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Which means we are going to be inundated with the
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: massive fat bank cash revenue from the political action committees.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: And I say political action committees. I saw an article
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: just yesterday the Democratic National Committee had to put up
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: its headquarters as collateral for a fifteen million dollar loan.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Apparently the DNC is really really short on cash, especially
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: when you compare it to what the RNC has. But
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: that doesn't mean there's not literally hundreds of millions of
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: dollars out there among the private left wing sector who
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: will be funding the Shared Brown campaign.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, for the DNC, they their candidates Joe
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Biden and Samala Harris and the rest of them. Shared
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Brown they mortgage the future. We got our national debt
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: at thirty nine billion dollars, so it suddenly make sense, right,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: they're going to take their base of operations, their headquarters
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: mortgage that as well. It's just more example of the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you know, irresponsible policies of that party. But yeah, the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars are going to get spent
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: in this race on the airways. You know, the ads
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: are already fired up, the mail will we'll be following.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: In short order. The yard signs will start growing as
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the days get shorter and the air gets a little cooler.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: But the thing that cuts through all that noise and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: what we spend so much time doing, Brian, and is
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: what you know. Sort of my plea this morning, as
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: folks start thinking about what they can do to make
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: a difference here is get out there and knock some doors.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Talk to friends and neighbors about what's really at stake
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: in this election, especially your conservative libertarian listeners, Brian, who
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: know they have the facts, they know shared Brown's record,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: they know what John Hewston has done in his twenty
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: months in Washington, d C. As our senator. There's no
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: better contrast, no better difference. But if we're going to
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: cut through that noise, cut through those ads, it's going
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to take people talking to people and encouraging the friends
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and neighbors to do the right thing and get out
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and vote. This November.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Let's pause from them. We're gonna bring Donovan and Eel
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: back and talk a little bit more about days of action,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: what we can do. I also want to get your
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: thoughts in comments, because I think it's appropriate to the
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: point anybody who has an opportunity to do so, and
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: there will be to pose some questions to Shared Brown
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: about the DSA winging of the party and where he
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: is on that, because they've got serious divisions within their party.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: The Democrats do bring Donovan back to the seven thirty five
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: right now, fifty five KRC, the Talk KRC the Talk station,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: thirty nine to fifty five KRC, de Talk Station. It's Wednesday.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: It's a happy Wednesday, Donovan Neil from Americans for Prosperity,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: which I suggest you getting involved with so they'll help
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: you do the door knocking and the days of action
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: we'll talk about here AFP action dot com. But Donovan,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: before we move away from the specific John Houston Shared
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Brown race, it seems to me that because there's a
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: lot of I call it infighting, call it division, whatever,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of agreement
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: within the Democratic Party about how far left they want
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: to go. Good chunk of them. We're going that DSA route.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: But the DSA platform calls for, you know, eliminating the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: United States Senate, abolishing immacraations and customs enforcement, replacing branches
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: of government, implementing a thirty two hour workweek, and taxation
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and spending issues and public ownership of you know, that's
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: communism right there. Public ownership and the means of production,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: blanket amnesty for illegal immigrants, ending border enforcements and deportations,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Medicare for all. These are all platforms of the DSA,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and a lot of them are running proudly on that.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: But like with all things politics, some Republicans had a delicate,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you know, tough time dealing with the Tea Party wining,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and they got a little freaked out about that when
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the Tea Party was popular. Is this an opportunity to
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: test Shared Brown in his where he is on the
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Democrat side of the spectrum, maybe to the Republican side advantage?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Oh? Absolutely, And I mean one thing for sure, right
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: if Shared Brown was in the US Senate when we
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: had the opportunity to vote for the Working Family Tax,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: because he would have voted with the Democrats when the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: government shutdown was going on last fall led by Chuck
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Schumer and Kim Jeffries. Absolutely, Shared Brown would have stood
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: in line with his colleagues and peers in the Democrat
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Party and voted against opening the federal government up while
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Shared Brown is a political chameleon. He's mastered the art
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: of telling people one thing and doing another. The reality
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: is he will vote one hundred percent of the time
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: because he has, and we have a thirty plus year
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: record of this for a fact, he will vote nearly
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the time with his party. And
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: as the dsay the Socialists begin to truly take over,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: what started as a small enclave in New England right
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren has become a full
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: blown landslide towards the extreme left. And while Shared Brown
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: is smart enough to not put those kinds of posts
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: on his social media, you best believe that if he
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: gets elected, those are the policies he will be voting for,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: because he always has voted for them. So that's what's
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: really at stake here is you have a particular police
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: effective political chameleon trying to sneak his way back into
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the US Senate seat from Ohio who will join in
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the dismantling of the future of this country by the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Democrats Socialists of America. Sounds doomday, it sounds extreme, but
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: it's the reality, and there's the record to show it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I don't disagree with your analysis on that. I guess
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the question that I'd have to ask him is, let's
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: walk through the DSA platform. If this comes up as
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: a piece of legislation, are you going to be voting
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: for it?
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Yes? Or no?
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Now he's going to force him to lie. Right. If
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: you say he would ultimately vote with his party to
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: advance these well constitutionally undermining pieces of agenda on the
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: DSA platform, then I would at least say, at least,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: you've got him locked into a lie. You know, it's
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: like Fauci testifying today. You've got him locked into lies.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Question becomes what you make of it in the aftermath.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: But I'd like to hear what he has to say
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: because the other fundamental problem I have with the DSA
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: platform is Donovan. How in god name can any politician
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: who embraces that platform or even part of it, hold
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: up his or her hand and swear an oath to
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the Constitution of the United States when the very platform
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: that they run on is to eliminate the Constitution.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: It's quite a conundrum.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: This is impossible conundrum. I guess the only workaround, And
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: here let me bounce this off you, because the only
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: work around it, says I was a DSA person and
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: this is what I wanted. Yeah, I want to undermine
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: the Constitution. I want, like phoenix from the ashes, something
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: new and better and socialists or communists to arise from
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the ashes. You can change the Constitution. There's a mechanism
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: in the Constitution, or mechanisms, but it's a huge ro
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: to ho and it requires the agreement of a whole
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: bunch of people who, under no circumstances will embrace your
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: undermining left wing community or constitutional ending philosophy. So you
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: either do it by way of revolution, or you do
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: it the way the Constitution has and you run no
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: hope of even getting your agenda advance. So where are
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: we on that.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I think we will be found from our friends
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: on the left right. And actually Thomas Soul wrote about
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: this years ago in a Constant Divisions Right. These the
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: progressive left and many of the people who support them
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: share an unconstrained view of the world right that while
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: these documents exist, their living, breathing documents that we can
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: just change right or totally ignore. And I think that's
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: part of the dssay's mode of operations here is they
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: will they will ignore those things, and they will say,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: we will go and do what we want to do.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: It's why we find ourselves in the situation we find
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: ourselves in right now, because you know, the Obama administration
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: did a lot of that right throughout the years, dismantling
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: key institutions within our federal government, forms and processes that
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: help protect you know, folks, you know the the minority
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: of majority and minority dynamics we have in the country.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: The antidote to this problem is getting back to our
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: foundational principles as an nation, leaning on the constitution of decoration.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Independence is you know, the way forward and out of
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the situation we find ourselves in. But you know, if
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you think the DSA and and folks like Shared Brown,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you know, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, the rest of them,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: are going to follow that way. Abdul l Sied in
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Michigan is very like the we're going to be the
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: nominee there are gonna are gonna play by the rules
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: and and and adhere to the way our founding follows
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: intended for this nation to be run. It's it's not
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: going to happen. It's it's it's a real dire situation.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: It's dire and most notably dire when if you give
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: into the understanding that the one thing that they certainly
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: could accomplish is packing the Supreme Court with a bunch
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: of liberals who, well, the Constitution is so living and
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: breathing that we can ignore it completely.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Uh yep, that's not off the table either, Brian. The
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're they're real.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: One of the things we hear out at the doors
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: as well while we're talking to folks is they are
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: they are tired of the ever present this function dysfunction
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. And what I think you would
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: find voters willing to to, you know, be open to
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: our folks who want to make extreme changes to the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: way that our government works, rather than incentivizing lawmakers to
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: to do the hard work of reaching consensus, do the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: hard work of you know, of putting government where it belongs,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: but also having the restraint and self disciplined to keep
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: government out of other people's lives, you know, people's lives
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: where it doesn't belong. Uh So, the idea of expanding
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: those right there, I think, you know, our friends on
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the left have done a very good job of packaging
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: as appealing solutions to the problems, when the real solution
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: to these problems are keeping government constrained in the ways
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: that it to the areas that should be focused on
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and expanding the Supreme Corps would be a probably not
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: good idea for the future of our country.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Terrible idea. Donald Ille, what are we dealing with in
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: terms of days of action before we part company this morning?
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it has to get out and get people
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: out to gold it right. We've got the beautiful weather
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: on tap here. We're going to be not launching doors
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: around the state. We were out there knocking doors every day.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: We're almost at four thousand. We'll eclipse that before the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: end of this week. But this Saturday and Saturday after
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: we're calling ale to join us thirty minutes an hour,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: give us half a day. We'll take it. But help
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: us get out there. We've target We've identified about one
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: point five million Ohioans who need to be reminded to
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: get out and vote. They vote in the presidentials. We
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: need them to get out and vote this year. We've
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: got the opportunity, the targeting, the messaging to get it done.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: We'll even train you and give you a donuts and coffee,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: and if you stick with us all day, maybe even
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: a bite to eat for dinner. But it's what it's
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: going to take Americans. So Hiland's getting out there, knocking
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: doors and helping make a difference to swing the you
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: know what, will be the number one US Senate race
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of the nation by the time the dost settles in November.

• 13:04
  Speaker 2: little bit of time, a whole day's worth of time,
