- 0:00Speaker 1: The talk station. It is seven thirty one here fifty
- 0:06Speaker 1: five KRCD talk station. Happy Wednesday. It's that time of
- 0:10Speaker 1: week we hear from Donovan on neil Americans for PROSPERITYAFP
- 0:13Speaker 1: action dot com. Check them out, get involved, and Americans
- 0:16Speaker 1: for Prosperity does a great job knocking doors and changing
- 0:19Speaker 1: hearts and minds and hopefully convincing Democrats that socialism, which
- 0:23Speaker 1: is the direction their party has been going, being taken
- 0:26Speaker 1: over by people who just simply put a D after
- 0:28Speaker 1: the name, even though pretty much flat out communists. We
- 0:31Speaker 1: need to stop that from happening. Raise awareness, and door
- 0:33Speaker 1: knocking and talking with people can help raise that awareness.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Am I right? Donovan O'Neill, Americans for Prosperity, welcome back,
- 0:39Speaker 1: my friend Brian always get to be with you and
- 0:42Speaker 1: I love the intro. Well, I'm I am reeling over this.
- 0:47Speaker 1: This this left wing, it's not even left wing. This
- 0:50Speaker 1: demostrat Democrats socials of America have found a camp to
- 0:52Speaker 1: hang their hat on. And just by again, just by
- 0:54Speaker 1: putting a D after your name, there is nothing that
- 0:57Speaker 1: remotely resembles what I would argue, quote unquote traditional Democrats
- 1:03Speaker 1: a stand for within the camp that identifies itself as
- 1:07Speaker 1: the DSA. Look at their party platform. It is absolutely
- 1:12Speaker 1: insane and donovan, as you know, as we've seen when
- 1:16Speaker 1: confronted with their literal statements like murder people or get
- 1:22Speaker 1: a defunct. Let's say get rid of the police. That's
- 1:24Speaker 1: a simple one, and it's attributed to a lot of
- 1:25Speaker 1: DSA folks. A lot of politicians have actually said we
- 1:28Speaker 1: need to get rid of police. When you're confront them
- 1:29Speaker 1: with it now like oh no, no, I didn't really
- 1:31Speaker 1: mean that. So they're trying to convince us that they're
- 1:34Speaker 1: not as far left as they really are. But I mean,
- 1:36Speaker 1: we all have to note that that that's just an
- 1:38Speaker 1: outright lie. If you're willing to go online and you're
- 1:41Speaker 1: willing to publish and say things over and over repeatedly
- 1:43Speaker 1: that you want to say defund or get rid of
- 1:45Speaker 1: the police department, you're wed to that, and you can't
- 1:48Speaker 1: just deny it today and say it I really didn't
- 1:50Speaker 1: mean it yesterday.
- 1:53Speaker 2: No, I mean, And that's that's the craziest thing you
- 1:55Speaker 2: see popping up right from Graham Plattner to a do
- 1:58Speaker 2: Al Sayid to Francesca Hong in Wisconsin, who it looks
- 2:02Speaker 2: like by a razor thin marginal less lost. Yeah, thirty
- 2:07Speaker 2: three hundred votes, thirty three hundred votes, Every vote counts, right.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Oh yeah, all of those, all of those.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Candidates right, have crazy histories, right, that are documented well
- 2:18Speaker 2: on social media about the things they really support. Yet
- 2:22Speaker 2: you know, when they're confronted with that, they say, oh,
- 2:24Speaker 2: I don't believe that anymore. Yeah, like you might wave
- 2:27Speaker 2: a magic wand and suddenly I don't believe in defunding
- 2:30Speaker 2: the police, or abolishing ice, or you know, uh, breaking
- 2:35Speaker 2: America's health care system and centralizing it in Washington, DC.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Those were just musings of a of a crazy person, right, Yes,
- 2:43Speaker 2: but these are real folks who have real campaigns that
- 2:46Speaker 2: get real contributions that, in Abdullah Sayeed's case, right, have
- 2:51Speaker 2: a real shot. Although our team in Michigan's has something
- 2:54Speaker 2: to say about it, they won't has a real shot
- 2:56Speaker 2: at actually sitting in the halls of Congress and making
- 2:59Speaker 2: decisions for our nation. It's crazy.
- 3:02Speaker 1: And a man who had in his campaign camp advocating
- 3:06Speaker 1: for him, Hassan Piker, who I know he is a
- 3:09Speaker 1: media influence man. I hate that phrase, but he is
- 3:13Speaker 1: a radical, radical Islamist I suppose he hates the Jews,
- 3:20Speaker 1: he hates Israel. I mean, he's he thinks they deserve
- 3:23Speaker 1: the the October seventh rape and murder thing. He's advocated
- 3:28Speaker 1: for murdering capitalist in the street. He's a Marxist quite
- 3:31Speaker 1: literally campaign for I'll say it. And you know, when
- 3:34Speaker 1: asked about that the other day, he doesn't even reject
- 3:38Speaker 1: I'll say it, doesn't even reject what Hasan Piker has
- 3:40Speaker 1: advocated for. He was given an opportunity to distance himself
- 3:43Speaker 1: from these just insane rantings, but he didn't. I think
- 3:47Speaker 1: that reveals his true stripes. And you got Hasan Pikers
- 3:50Speaker 1: saying the quiet part out loud, saying, you know, you
- 3:52Speaker 1: know it. Our politicians, you know, whether they s or
- 3:55Speaker 1: anybody else, they're not running away from progress. And the
- 3:57Speaker 1: word progress in that sentence means their leftist ideas. So
- 4:01Speaker 1: their pragmatism isn't to moderate on their policies. Their pragmatism
- 4:05Speaker 1: is to moderate on their comms, on their communication. In
- 4:09Speaker 1: other words, he's saying we're being lied to. They're lying
- 4:12Speaker 1: to us. Now. They really are still strong on these
- 4:15Speaker 1: far left issues. They're still Marxists basically, but they're trying
- 4:19Speaker 1: to convince you that they've moderated their position. It's a
- 4:22Speaker 1: strategy well one hundred percent.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Right here in the Buckeye State, right, we have Shared Brown,
- 4:28Speaker 2: who has embraced these ideals for his entire career in Congress.
- 4:33Speaker 1: You can go back and.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Look at his tweets, his social media posts, the things
- 4:37Speaker 2: he has said on the record. Right, he packages it
- 4:40Speaker 2: this election much more palatably right. But you won't see
- 4:44Speaker 2: him denounce the DSSA. You won't hear him denounce these
- 4:48Speaker 2: ideas like medicare Medicaid for all, or mandatory work weeks,
- 4:52Speaker 2: or you know, government run more government run institutions, because
- 4:59Speaker 2: it's it is a well packaged machine from states like
- 5:03Speaker 2: Ohio that are swing states to deep blue states. They
- 5:07Speaker 2: are being very careful with how they package this because
- 5:10Speaker 2: they know most Americans do not like those ideals. It's
- 5:14Speaker 2: we're the last bashion of freedom, as you know, Brian, right,
- 5:17Speaker 2: They do not like those ideals. So it's a it's
- 5:20Speaker 2: a cleverly packaged product, political product. But that's also not unique. Right,
- 5:25Speaker 2: anywhere you've seen socialism pop up. It's popped up throughout Aria,
- 5:29Speaker 2: throughout throughout world history, as as something that is, you know,
- 5:33Speaker 2: to the benevolent dictator. Right, give us the power, give
- 5:36Speaker 2: us the control. We will fix the things that ail you. Right,
- 5:40Speaker 2: give us more of your resources, your hard earned labor,
- 5:43Speaker 2: and together we're going to create this utopia for the
- 5:46Speaker 2: working class. With the reality of it is from China
- 5:50Speaker 2: to Russia, to Venezuela to Cuba to everywhere. This dang
- 5:55Speaker 2: thing's been experimented with North Korea. It results in more pain,
- 6:00Speaker 2: more suffering, less freedom, and an elite class that it
- 6:05Speaker 2: is able to exert its force upon the people that
- 6:09Speaker 2: it claimed to support.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Indeed, and feed use scraps from their very white, pure tablecloth.
- 6:16Speaker 1: You'll get what they allocate to you, and no more
- 6:18Speaker 1: so you better play nice with them. Heard that before
- 6:22Speaker 1: in history as well. Donald O'Neil, don't go away, because
- 6:25Speaker 1: we're gonna get you to explain to us how we
- 6:27Speaker 1: can help out what we're gonna be doing in helping
- 6:29Speaker 1: out talk station some forty three pitt about KRCP Talkstation,
- 6:34Speaker 1: AFP action dot com. How you get involved Americans for
- 6:37Speaker 1: Prosperity website, Right, Donovan and l We need some people
- 6:41Speaker 1: out there on the streets to actually have conversations with folks,
- 6:43Speaker 1: because it seems to me, you know, once the kids
- 6:45Speaker 1: start going back to school, you know, people who normally
- 6:48Speaker 1: aren't paying close attention to politics will at least dedicate
- 6:50Speaker 1: some of their time to talk about it. And I
- 6:53Speaker 1: don't know if the the the the Hong losing in
- 6:56Speaker 1: Wisconsin the other day, the socialist loss to the more
- 6:59Speaker 1: moderate canadate it if that spells signs of sanity showing
- 7:03Speaker 1: up the Democrat Party. But I think just reminding people,
- 7:07Speaker 1: or at least making them aware, perhaps for the first time,
- 7:09Speaker 1: by having a conversation, doing some door knocking with AFP,
- 7:12Speaker 1: you might enlighten someone about how far left the Democrat
- 7:17Speaker 1: policies are going. And I'm thinking it may not be
- 7:19Speaker 1: a direction most people want to go. Donovan, No, one
- 7:22Speaker 1: hundred percent.
- 7:23Speaker 2: I think something that's important to remember in a lot
- 7:25Speaker 2: of these races, too right is even though there is
- 7:28Speaker 2: a more moderate option potentially in the Democrat Party, the
- 7:32Speaker 2: reality is we'll use Michigan as an example, right, whether
- 7:36Speaker 2: it was abdul Alsied or the the now our name
- 7:39Speaker 2: slips my mind. The congresswoman from up there, they both
- 7:43Speaker 2: should should one of one of them be elected to Congress,
- 7:46Speaker 2: to the Senate would vote one hundred percent the exactly
- 7:49Speaker 2: same way right thing here in Ohio. Shared Brown, while
- 7:53Speaker 2: packaged much more moderately right in his politics than an
- 7:58Speaker 2: Abdul Sayed or a Grand Platinum or you know, Francesca
- 8:01Speaker 2: Hong or whoever is out there on the DSA side,
- 8:04Speaker 2: he will vote one hundred percent of the time. I
- 8:07Speaker 2: guarantee it, yes, because we have fifty years of his record,
- 8:11Speaker 2: and so we have the opportunity right here in Ohio
- 8:13Speaker 2: right to make a difference and to push back against
- 8:15Speaker 2: the rising tide of socialism in this country by defeating
- 8:18Speaker 2: Shared Brown electing John Houstad. And the best way to
- 8:22Speaker 2: do it, Brian, your folks have heard me talk about
- 8:24Speaker 2: this for years on your program as you share your
- 8:26Speaker 2: megaphone with me. The best way to do it right now,
- 8:29Speaker 2: right isn't to put more money into TV ads or
- 8:32Speaker 2: direct mail. It's to actually go out Ohio into ohioland
- 8:35Speaker 2: and have a conversation at the doorstep talking about the
- 8:39Speaker 2: issues that matter and talking about why. The ideas of
- 8:41Speaker 2: free enterprise, free markets, individual liberty, the grood things that
- 8:46Speaker 2: made this country the great nation it is for two
- 8:48Speaker 2: hundred and fifty years are the pathway forward out of
- 8:51Speaker 2: the problems that socialism, growth in government and that an
- 8:55Speaker 2: erosion of individual liberties have created here in recent in
- 9:00Speaker 2: the recent decades, door to door gets it done, Brian,
- 9:02Speaker 2: and that's what we give you the opportunity to do
- 9:04Speaker 2: at AFP Action.
- 9:06Speaker 1: A fpaction dot Com strongly encouraged my listeners. You don't
- 9:11Speaker 1: need to dedicate your entire life to AFP action in
- 9:13Speaker 1: door knocking. You can take a little bit of help,
- 9:14Speaker 1: a lot of help, as much as you want to dedicate,
- 9:17Speaker 1: and every little bit helps, right Donovan.
- 9:21Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, And if you've never done it before, right
- 9:23Speaker 2: as you're like, man, I'm going to go knock someone's
- 9:25Speaker 2: door and they're going to stick their dogs on me,
- 9:27Speaker 2: I could tell you I've been doing this for years, Brian.
- 9:29Speaker 2: We've got hundreds of canvassers out there already. This year,
- 9:32Speaker 2: we're pushing five hundred thousand doors knocked this year. The
- 9:35Speaker 2: reality is you actually will get a refreshing Actually, let
- 9:37Speaker 2: me share a quick conversation a cand I talked. We
- 9:40Speaker 2: were out knocking doors in Toledo in Oregon, Ohio this
- 9:45Speaker 2: past Saturday, knocked a door lady came to the door
- 9:49Speaker 2: took my survey, said she's I'll be honest, she said,
- 9:52Speaker 2: she's voting for Shared Brown. I said, well, have you
- 9:55Speaker 2: ever voted for Republican before? She says, I have, And
- 9:58Speaker 2: I said, well, what is it that's got you voting
- 10:00Speaker 2: for a Democrat this time?
- 10:01Speaker 1: Though?
- 10:01Speaker 2: You know we talked through the issues. Yes, same things
- 10:04Speaker 2: you and I see, Brian right, cost of living people,
- 10:08Speaker 2: and you know I planted the sea and I said,
- 10:11Speaker 2: we're gonna come back and we're gonna change your mind
- 10:12Speaker 2: before before you vote in November. We both laughed, but
- 10:16Speaker 2: we left that conversation, right, me understanding better what it
- 10:19Speaker 2: is that the Democrats are selling and how it's impacting
- 10:23Speaker 2: her as a voter. And I hope she left that conversation.
- 10:25Speaker 2: We certainly left a cordial understanding that Hey, even that
- 10:29Speaker 2: guy who's out there canvassing for a Republican and identifies
- 10:32Speaker 2: as a conservative, free market guy, he's not as bad
- 10:35Speaker 2: as the media or social media might have me believe.
- 10:39Speaker 2: So it refreshes your belief in the civic process. You
- 10:42Speaker 2: have the opportunity to really have substance of conversations, even
- 10:46Speaker 2: with people that you start the conversation with on different places.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Politically.
- 10:50Speaker 2: It's good stuff, Brian, and it restores your belief in
- 10:54Speaker 2: the free enterprise system we have.
- 10:56Speaker 1: I love that. But you know, the other component is,
- 10:59Speaker 1: even if you're not changing a heart and mind, by
- 11:01Speaker 1: getting that information about what's driving people to the Democrat side,
- 11:05Speaker 1: you can come up with better responses, better talking points,
- 11:09Speaker 1: and perhaps counter strategies to suggest that the other side
- 11:13Speaker 1: of the political ledger has better ideas for dealing with
- 11:15Speaker 1: the inflation, but also interject reality like, for example, you know,
- 11:18Speaker 1: printing three trillion to six trillion dollars additional dollars waters
- 11:22Speaker 1: down the value of the dollars, so it's got nothing
- 11:23Speaker 1: to do with the war in the Middle East for example,
- 11:25Speaker 1: that inflation. So you know, counterpoints that can be made,
- 11:29Speaker 1: but ultimately walking away with a positive attitude about the
- 11:31Speaker 1: electric that's great. AFP Action dot Com. Donovan. We'll talk
- 11:35Speaker 1: again next week. Keep up the great work, my friend.
- 11:37Speaker 1: I appreciate what you're doing for all of us.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Thanks as always.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Bring it's un forty eight right now. If you five
- 11:42Speaker 1: cares
