- 0:22Speaker 2: Welcome back, Tom z Awastowski. It's a pleasure to have
- 0:24Speaker 2: you on this morning.
- 0:26Speaker 1: Oh, good morning, Brian. As we talk about gold medal
- 0:29Speaker 1: wins and men's and women hockey, and we got you
- 0:32Speaker 1: talking about fifty degree temperatures in Cincinnati and spring baseball starting. Yeah,
- 0:37Speaker 1: I'm in a good mood. This morning brought us tonight.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Yeah, And we'll get to the State of the Union
- 0:44Speaker 2: address here. At a moment, I got a comment I
- 0:45Speaker 2: did not mention the hockey victory, and I kind of
- 0:48Speaker 2: felt badly that I didn't. It was a fantastic game.
- 0:50Speaker 2: I thoroughly enjoyed watching it, even though I'm not a
- 0:52Speaker 2: huge hockey fan. But I remember watching the Dream Team
- 0:56Speaker 2: back in nineteen eighty beat the Soviets. You know what
- 0:58Speaker 2: I forgot about that. I remember being elated. It was
- 1:01Speaker 2: a moment of true patriotism. You could feel it surgeon
- 1:04Speaker 2: through your body. We beat the Soviet Union. But the
- 1:08Speaker 2: one element and I was trying to compare my reaction
- 1:10Speaker 2: to the win for the United States just the other
- 1:12Speaker 2: day to that one, because I didn't feel that same
- 1:15Speaker 2: surge of emotion and enthusiasm. Yeah, maybe I'm sixty or whatever. No,
- 1:19Speaker 2: you know what was absent from it. And this is
- 1:20Speaker 2: not to negate from the victory nineteen eighty. Those were
- 1:24Speaker 2: all amateurs. Remember, they couldn't allow they didn't allow professional
- 1:28Speaker 2: sports players. It wasn't like they got folks from the
- 1:29Speaker 2: Blackhawks playing in the Olympics. These were just like college kids,
- 1:34Speaker 2: that's who. The Russians were all pros, right.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Oh, so big.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Distinction between the two victories, and I just didn't want
- 1:43Speaker 2: it to be overlooked that it was great in both cases.
- 1:46Speaker 2: But I give the ad to the nineteen eighty team
- 1:49Speaker 2: just given the fact that they were all amateurs playing
- 1:51Speaker 2: against you know, hardened Russian thug pros. All right, we're
- 1:55Speaker 2: out of time. In this segment, we'll bring Thomas Austowsky
- 1:57Speaker 2: back to talk about the state of the year, as
- 2:00Speaker 2: well as maybe a comment or two about the Ohigh
- 2:02Speaker 2: Republican Party endorsing candidates in advance of the primary. It's
- 2:05Speaker 2: got some of my listeners rubbed the wrong way and
- 2:07Speaker 2: maybe me a little bit too. More with Tom Zawastowski
- 2:10Speaker 2: at seven thirty five some fifty five KROCD talk station.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Find it, but we the People Convention dot org and
- 2:17Speaker 2: check out his weekly podcast. It's Tom Zawastowski, and we're
- 2:20Speaker 2: gonna pivot over the Supreme State of the Union address
- 2:22Speaker 2: that's tonight. I talked in the last segment with Dave
- 2:25Speaker 2: Williams from the Taxpayer Protection Alliance, and although we both
- 2:27Speaker 2: agree and you can chime in on the length of
- 2:29Speaker 2: time it's going to take, it's probably going to go
- 2:31Speaker 2: really long. And in fact, Donald Trump even commented how
- 2:33Speaker 2: long it's going to be ahead of the speech, but
- 2:36Speaker 2: he suggested, and again we're just tea leaf reading here
- 2:40Speaker 2: taking guesses that Trump probably will not mention like doge
- 2:45Speaker 2: or fraud, wasted abuse, and I think to me, that's
- 2:48Speaker 2: one of the most important issues that we face today
- 2:50Speaker 2: given what's unfolded in Minneapolis among the Somali community, the
- 2:54Speaker 2: fraudsters and criminals in that community, not all of them,
- 2:57Speaker 2: for you people and accuse me of being racist, shut up,
- 3:00Speaker 2: but billions and billions they're talking. It's already they found
- 3:04Speaker 2: like nine billion dollars in just stolen money, but it
- 3:08Speaker 2: may be much much bigger than that. And Tom's Alaskasi.
- 3:10Speaker 2: That's one city in this entire country of ours, of
- 3:13Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty some million people. You know, it's everywhere,
- 3:17Speaker 2: or potentially everywhere. This is something that every single person
- 3:20Speaker 2: who pays money in the American taxation system should be
- 3:23Speaker 2: outraged about.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Yeah, Brian, I think you guys are onto something. You know,
- 3:29Speaker 1: we talk about, you know, and the problem in Trump
- 3:31Speaker 1: time is there's so much going on, you know, you
- 3:33Speaker 1: can't you know, focus. But here's the truth. I think
- 3:37Speaker 1: that what you're talking about, the theft of our tax
- 3:40Speaker 1: dollars is what resonates with all of us. Right. You know,
- 3:44Speaker 1: we're watching what's going on Minneapolis about your ice and
- 3:47Speaker 1: all that. Well, you know, ice isn't in my neighborhood.
- 3:50Speaker 1: I'm not having that problem. I can't really relate to it.
- 3:52Speaker 1: But boy, when they start talking about nine billion dollars
- 3:56Speaker 1: of Medicare money or other you know, social welfare program
- 4:00Speaker 1: being stolen, that's my money. And everyone I talked to
- 4:03Speaker 1: is animated about that. So I agree, if President Trump
- 4:07Speaker 1: does take your advice and he does talk about that,
- 4:10Speaker 1: it's going to be more important than almost anything else,
- 4:13Speaker 1: he says, because it affects all of us, right, and
- 4:16Speaker 1: we are personally offended by that and we want it fixed. Yeah.
- 4:20Speaker 2: I mean it's so simple to do. Who could argue
- 4:24Speaker 2: with him if he says, listen, I want to have
- 4:27Speaker 2: a straight talk, face to face. I want to reveal
- 4:29Speaker 2: this to you. Are you a tax payer, and you
- 4:32Speaker 2: could be of any political stripe if you're paying money
- 4:35Speaker 2: into the system, or you're reliant upon this system, like
- 4:38Speaker 2: say someone on Social Security who's getting ready to go
- 4:41Speaker 2: on Social Security and realizes it's going to bankrupt itself
- 4:44Speaker 2: just the way that's been designed by design, then you
- 4:47Speaker 2: would be upset if you knew that billions of dollars,
- 4:51Speaker 2: maybe tens of billions, who knows how much it can
- 4:53Speaker 2: be by way of fraud, waste, and abuse that they've
- 4:55Speaker 2: already identified nine billion in Minneapolis alone. That resonates. This
- 5:00Speaker 2: is not a political thing. This is criminal behavior and
- 5:04Speaker 2: it cannot be excused, and I cannot be left without
- 5:08Speaker 2: prosecution or maybe efforts to claw that money back to
- 5:11Speaker 2: the extent it hasn't gone into the ether, but damn it.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Everyone should be outraged. Everyone.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Well, Brian, and you know, I've heard numbers from Tom
- 5:20Speaker 1: Cotton and others that the total might be a trillion
- 5:23Speaker 1: dollars yep a year. That's trillion dollars a year.
- 5:27Speaker 3: And we wouldn't be surprised by that because, as you said.
- 5:30Speaker 1: You read the Imprimis article.
- 5:32Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I mean, it's so easy to steal
- 5:35Speaker 3: from us. It's just insane.
- 5:37Speaker 1: They don't care, like you said, they just don't care. Well,
- 5:41Speaker 1: they better start, Karen, because this is real money and
- 5:44Speaker 1: we're real upset about it. And I again, let's take action, folks,
- 5:48Speaker 1: everyone listening. Give a call to your senator, give a
- 5:51Speaker 1: call to your congressman, and say listen, this is a
- 5:54Speaker 1: top priority for me. You need to guard our money.
- 5:58Speaker 1: That's your job is to guard our hard earned tax dollars.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Well, you know, Tom, isn't it sort of a strange
- 6:05Speaker 2: thing that if Democrats were demanding accountability in any given
- 6:11Speaker 2: program whatsoever. Let's say, let's turn over to something they
- 6:14Speaker 2: typically do not, like defense spending, and Tom, I'll be
- 6:18Speaker 2: the first person to say, this should be huge audit
- 6:20Speaker 2: of the Defense Department, because last eight times they tried
- 6:22Speaker 2: to do it, they didn't have records that would allow
- 6:24Speaker 2: them to even conduct an audit. Red flag. That's my money.
- 6:27Speaker 2: I want to spend properly. I want the American military
- 6:30Speaker 2: funded properly. But if the Democrats would say that, we
- 6:32Speaker 2: would have said, okay, well, who can argue with that?
- 6:34Speaker 2: Who can argue with that? The question Tom's alistause he
- 6:37Speaker 2: becomes when they don't want to investigate it, when they
- 6:39Speaker 2: want to turn the blind eye into it, blind eye
- 6:41Speaker 2: to it, or they don't even want to talk about it.
- 6:44Speaker 2: What in the hell nefarious activity is going on behind
- 6:47Speaker 2: the scenes of this outwardly criminal activity.
- 6:50Speaker 1: Tom, Well, that's the part that hears me, Brian. It's
- 6:55Speaker 1: the people that, let you know. I remember Max Miller
- 6:58Speaker 1: did an interview a couple of weeks ago our congressman
- 7:01Speaker 1: up here, and he said, oh, in every House committee,
- 7:05Speaker 1: we have people who are jobing.
- 7:07Speaker 3: Is to look for fraud and he said, we're going
- 7:10Speaker 3: to look into that. I said, look into it. They've
- 7:12Speaker 3: been doing it for fifteen years and you never found it, then,
- 7:16Speaker 3: why would I think you're going to find it now.
- 7:18Speaker 3: The problem is it's institutionalized fraud, and both parties are
- 7:22Speaker 3: aware of it and in on it. And that's what's
- 7:25Speaker 3: so scary. And that's why Donald Trump's job is so
- 7:28Speaker 3: difficult and cash matel and Pam Bondi and the rest
- 7:31Speaker 3: of them, because the whole system is corrupt.
- 7:35Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what, Tom, based upon our conversation,
- 7:37Speaker 2: the fact that I brought that in Primus article up
- 7:39Speaker 2: so much, I just sent the link to Jostracker. It's
- 7:41Speaker 2: readily available at Hillsdale College and Prima site online. He's
- 7:45Speaker 2: going to add the link to my blog page fifty
- 7:47Speaker 2: five carseea dot com. So would have been telling people
- 7:48Speaker 2: to read. You'll be readily available to read fifty five
- 7:51Speaker 2: carseea dot com probably within the next five or ten
- 7:53Speaker 2: minutes or so. Tom, hold on, I want to get
- 7:55Speaker 2: your Yeah, I want to hear your reaction to how
- 7:57Speaker 2: is it the Republican Party in the state of Ohiowa's
- 7:59Speaker 2: going and endorsing candidates in advance of primaries contested, Well,
- 8:06Speaker 2: maybe not. We'll see what happens is he wants to
- 8:08Speaker 2: think about Karc. He talks Station Happy Tuesday. You get
- 8:11Speaker 2: the inside scoop out at the top of the Our News.
- 8:13Speaker 2: White House correspondent Nick Gilberson also talking about the state
- 8:16Speaker 2: of the Indian address tonight Daniel Davis Deep Dive at
- 8:18Speaker 2: eight thirty and in the meantime, Tom's Awastowski We the
- 8:21Speaker 2: People Convention dot Org. Tom, what's your take on the
- 8:23Speaker 2: Republican Party here in Ohio endorsing candidates in advance of
- 8:26Speaker 2: the primary. Now, I kind of understood. I happen to
- 8:29Speaker 2: like v. V. Ramaswa. I mean, say what you want.
- 8:30Speaker 2: I think he's a good guy, smart, I've met him,
- 8:32Speaker 2: you know, it just is brilliant. I think he'll be
- 8:34Speaker 2: good for Ohio, And I kind of understand why the
- 8:36Speaker 2: Republican Party might have wanted to endorse him for governor
- 8:39Speaker 2: in advance. First off, he was way ahead and of
- 8:40Speaker 2: all the polls that I was aware of. But to
- 8:42Speaker 2: take the money interest component out of it, they have
- 8:45Speaker 2: to fight a primary. They're going to be a lot
- 8:47Speaker 2: of money spent this guy versus that guy in order
- 8:49Speaker 2: to avoid that problem, just go ahead and endorse him
- 8:52Speaker 2: and move on. That seems to have worked in that
- 8:53Speaker 2: particular case. But I was kind of puzzled because Marcel
- 8:56Speaker 2: Sturbage came across as a real, I mean, a brilliant guy.
- 9:00Speaker 2: I mean, he is committed, he knows the issues, he
- 9:03Speaker 2: can talk very plainly and clearly on them. And so
- 9:06Speaker 2: a lot of the polls, I guess had him ahead
- 9:08Speaker 2: over Robert Sprague, and yet the Republican Party and Ohio
- 9:11Speaker 2: went ahead and endorsed Robert Sprague. You got a problem
- 9:14Speaker 2: with that, Tom, because a lot of my listeners are
- 9:16Speaker 2: screaming in my ear, you know, via text message another
- 9:18Speaker 2: communication that they are kind of angry.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I've got a problem with that, because again,
- 9:24Speaker 1: it was just dirty politics. It wasn't about hey, let's
- 9:27Speaker 1: talk about which qualifications each candidate has and let's pick
- 9:31Speaker 1: the best candidate. It was about party power. And so
- 9:35Speaker 1: you know, there was a hit piece put out by
- 9:37Speaker 1: you know, the Luca Brasi of the Republican Party, Dave
- 9:41Speaker 1: Johnson from Trombull County, Okay, who you know, just you
- 9:45Speaker 1: know put out this horrible uh, Columbiana County, I'm sorry,
- 9:48Speaker 1: put out this terrible hit piece on Sturitch about how
- 9:51Speaker 1: he didn't raise money right and he's affiliating with the
- 9:54Speaker 1: wrong people, et cetera. You know, here's the problem, Brian.
- 9:58Speaker 1: You know, I think you and I both agree with
- 10:00Speaker 1: President Washington who said the political parties would be the
- 10:03Speaker 1: death of the republic. I wish there were no political parties.
- 10:07Speaker 1: I also have a problem, and you would too. I
- 10:09Speaker 1: think that why do we the taxpayers, spend twenty five
- 10:13Speaker 1: million dollars.
- 10:14Speaker 3: That's what it's going to cost for us to put.
- 10:16Speaker 1: On the May sixth primary this year for private institutions.
- 10:21Speaker 1: The Republican Party and the Democratic Party are not government agencies,
- 10:26Speaker 1: they are private companies. Why are we paying for them
- 10:30Speaker 1: to put on a primary? That's a sham, that's just
- 10:33Speaker 1: basically a scam. And that's what I don't like. I think.
- 10:38Speaker 1: I told Marcel, I said, Marcel, you should have ran
- 10:40Speaker 1: as an independent. Why do you want to play these
- 10:42Speaker 1: stupid party games when it's it's a rig game. You
- 10:45Speaker 1: can't win a rig game. So I'm mad about it,
- 10:49Speaker 1: But I still tell people you can still show up
- 10:52Speaker 1: for the primary and vote for Marcel. That is true.
- 10:54Speaker 3: Endorsement is the decision.
- 10:56Speaker 1: You can vote, but you know what, it's a big
- 10:58Speaker 1: finger on the scale because because the candidates that get
- 11:01Speaker 1: indoors get to use the parties has a special deal
- 11:05Speaker 1: for mailings and things like that that save you like
- 11:08Speaker 1: fifty percent of the cost of campaigning. And Marcel's not
- 11:11Speaker 1: going to have that, and Robert Sprigg's going to Well.
- 11:14Speaker 2: It's the power of the pink slip, isn't it.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Tom.
- 11:15Speaker 2: So many people are not fully engaged in politics, haven't
- 11:18Speaker 2: taken the time to do their own homework and determined
- 11:20Speaker 2: whether or not, you know, Sprague or Sturbage is the
- 11:23Speaker 2: better candidate. They just look at the pink slip and say, oh,
- 11:26Speaker 2: that's what the Republican Party endorsed, and that's what I'm
- 11:28Speaker 2: going to vote for, because I don't know if they
- 11:30Speaker 2: bother to vote, Yeah.
- 11:33Speaker 1: If they bother to vote, And I think that's the
- 11:35Speaker 1: thing I'm really scared about. And particularly if you don't mind,
- 11:38Speaker 1: I gotta put this out there. The SAYAC folks call
- 11:41Speaker 1: soon called Marino Carl Houston, demand that they passed to
- 11:46Speaker 1: say that, because Brian, if they won't, if Republicans who
- 11:50Speaker 1: have the votes won't pass the say back, which eighty
- 11:54Speaker 1: five percent of Americans want. They're telling you that your
- 11:58Speaker 1: vote doesn't count. They're telling you that they want the
- 12:00Speaker 1: Democrats and maybe the Republicans as well, the cheat. Why
- 12:04Speaker 1: would we go vote if they won't pass that issue
- 12:07Speaker 1: that eighty five percent of Americans want? It is as
- 12:10Speaker 1: simple as you got to prove you're a citizen to vote. Yeah,
- 12:13Speaker 1: call Soon, Call Houston, call Marino every day until they
- 12:18Speaker 1: pass this. Because really, Fran, nothing else matters to us.
- 12:22Speaker 1: If we can't pass this, we're are country's done. The
- 12:25Speaker 1: vote doesn't count. Yeah.
- 12:26Speaker 2: The constitutional Republic, which is based on a representative form
- 12:29Speaker 2: of government, if they are representatives, don't you know, follow
- 12:33Speaker 2: the will of the people, as demonstrated by an eighty
- 12:35Speaker 2: twenty issue. I mean, lord, it's a it's a reflection
- 12:39Speaker 2: of a failure. Tom. I have to agree with you
- 12:41Speaker 2: completely on that, and I will echo your call to
- 12:43Speaker 2: have people call their elected officials and screen at back
- 12:46Speaker 2: fasting the Save Act. Tom's Awastowski We the People Convention
