Vivek Ramaswamy discusses the ad · Brian Thomas

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And I don't find that to be relevant to the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: qualifications to be governor of the state of Ohio. Welcome
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: back to the program. Vivek Ramaswamy. It's a pleasure having
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: you on, sir.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Good to be on Brian. We're traveling around the state
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: and you know, we're ready to, ready to win this election.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Let's do it.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Let's do it. And I don't understand why there should
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: be any difficulty in people reaching a conclusion. You are
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: demonstrably more qualified than Amy Acton for the job. Look
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: at the resume, look at the credentials, look at her
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: background and job experience. I, I guess I wonder why
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: there's even a question swirling around this. Vivek, can you
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: address that or maybe approach it in a way that
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: you find better? Yeah, absolutely.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I'm happy to. I mean, the bottom line, Brian, is
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: they're lying about an ad that is about lying. That
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: is the ultimate irony here because the ad says nothing
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: about what they're claiming it says. The ad says that
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: she does have a serial track record of lying and
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: she has a serial track record of not having the
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: qualifications needed to lead. And the people closest to her
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: have said it. OK, you have every association, the doctors
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: of the state of Ohio, their association has said it.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: And other people closer have said the same thing. And,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: you know, look, I think voters deserve to hear that.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: This is the move that the woke left likes to make. OK,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: and they want us to bend the knee and we
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: cannot bend the knee to their tactic. Their tactic is
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: that we set the terms of the debate. Now you
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: play on our field. So what do they say? We
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: put an ad about dishonesty. They deflect from that and
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: talk about something the ad had nothing to do with.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: They're the ones weaponizing the issue of childhood abuse as
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: a political strategy to deflect from their own accountability. And
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: then they say, now you have to play in our field,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: bend the knee. I refuse to bend the knee. And
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I talked about this in Woke Inc., the first book. Oh, yes.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: This is what they do on the transgender issue. They
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: say that it is abuse if you leave a child
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: trapped in– anatomical body that's not theirs, well, then you
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: must therefore allow those surgeries in minors. They play this
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: trick over and over again. And it is important that
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: conservatives not fall for the trap. I trust our voters
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: to see right through it. The media is playing right
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: along in this game. And if you think about it,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: you don't have to think twice. If this were the
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: same shoe fitting the other foot with President Trump or
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: a Republican or me, they would be promoting it as
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: a front page story rather than criticizing it as a
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: front page story. Our voters are smart. They know that.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: They understand it. But it reminds us it's a doubly
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: important reason to show up and vote, because this will
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: be the Orwellian world we live in if we, God forbid,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: let the left come back to power in our state.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: That's why people need to get back out and vote.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: And on a positive note, I'm going to be the
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: one who's able to lead the state in a positive
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: direction with the skills that a governor actually needs to
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: fight for the people of this state.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: No question about it. I had Brad Wenstrup in the
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: studio last hour, former congressman. He just got back from D.C.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and I off-air had asked him about the state of D.C.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: And he said, it is clean. There's virtually no crime whatsoever.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: And he said, the National Guard's there. You can see them.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: And it's resulted in so much more order. And ignoring
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: whether or not that's a great idea, it has brought
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: about the result that was intended. But then he pivoted
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: over and he said, Brian, can you imagine Amy Acton
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: being in charge of Ohio's Guard? And I just like, oh, great.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: You just added to the horror of horrors. What level
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: of competence does she have for even that component of
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the job?
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. And look, the truth of the matter is this
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: is not just theoretical fun and games. OK, this is
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: a consequential decision that's going to impact 12 million people worldwide.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: millions of families across our state. We're the seventh largest
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: state in the country with a $ 100 billion budget. We
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: have property taxes that we have to deliver next year
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: and really make the budget work for that. We have
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Medicaid waste, fraud, and abuse that we have to prosecute.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: We have to also work with local law enforcement, including
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: in Cincinnati, to clean up the streets and ensure that
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: our communities and our cities are safe for families. Lives
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: hang in the balance. There are tough questions about even
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the death penalty to how you prosecute Medicaid fraud. These
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: are weighty decisions. And the idea of putting someone who
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: you would never hire for even an entry level business role,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: putting them in charge of this state, that is an
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: unthinkable idea. But the good news is, Brian, I'm confident
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: not only are we going to win this, we will
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: be able to lead Ohio to be the top state
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: in the country because we have a lot that's going
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: for us if we have the right leader at the top.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: And I do believe that the number one issue that
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: matters in this election is how do we put more
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: money into people's bank accounts? How do we put more
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: money into your pockets? We know how to do that.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Lower property taxes, put more energy on the grid, bring
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: down those electric bills, prosecute the Medicaid fraud, bring back
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: those health care dollars to the people who are actually
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: needing it. And if we're able to do those things,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: build more homes for young people by cutting red tape,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: bring down home affordability, That is something that will improve
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the quality of life of people in this state, Republican, Democrat,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: and everything in between. That's what I'm going to fight for.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: And I know we can make a difference there, Brian,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: starting next year. And what we need our true patriots
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: and conservative voters and really all pro-common sense voters across
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the state to do is to get out and vote.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Do not fall for the media's trap. Do not fall
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: for the media's lies. They are in this to, you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: really fight against us. And I think that we can't
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: accept that. We have to cut through their lies and
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: we have to stand for what is true. And that's
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: what we're asking people to do. Get out and vote.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: If conservatives vote in this state, we're going to be
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: successful in leading Ohio to be the conservative state we
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: should be. The envy of Texas and Florida, I hope,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: very soon, by this time next year.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: That's the kind of optimism you will deliver to the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: office for the benefit of every person in the state,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: regardless of political stripe. Vivek4Ohio. com. Praying for you, sir. Thank
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you for your time. And my understanding is we'll be
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: talking again next week, and I'm looking forward to that
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: discussion as well. We'll talk on Monday.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: We'll be on as much as you'll have me, Brian,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: between now and Election Day, because this is too important.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: And look, our kids' future... Our grandkids' future depends on it,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: and now is the moment. This is the moment we ask,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: are you willing to stand for your country and your
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: kids and your grandkids? Not by fighting a revolution like
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: our founders did 250 years ago. All we have to
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: do is get out and vote. And so if we
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: do that, we defend this country, and I'll be on
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: every day you'll have me to talk to our people
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: to tell them what we need to do together to
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: save this state.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's something Mike DeWine never chooses to do here
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: on the 55KRC Morning Show. Vivek4Ohio. com. We'll have him on
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: as often as he wants to be on. And then
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: after he's governor, I'm sure he'll avail himself to the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: format to let him know what's going on in the
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: state of Ohio while he's governor. God bless you, sir.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Fingers crossed. Prayer is your direction. And please, listening audience,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: heed his suggestion. Get out and vote. Vivek, have a
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: wonderful weekend. We'll talk again Monday, 829. Jack Windsor from
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the Ohio Press Network. We'll continue the discussion on this
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: topic coming up next.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: This is 55KRC.
