- 1:38Speaker 2: on that topic. It's a copic near and dear to
- 1:40Speaker 2: my heart. We have people convention dot org. You got
- 1:42Speaker 2: Tom's a weekly podcast. Check that out on a regular basis.
- 1:45Speaker 2: And Tom, I guess I'm really worried and concerned, and
- 1:49Speaker 2: I don't you know, we're all sort of skeptical Jaden
- 1:52Speaker 2: and cinical about polling data. And it's so important for
- 1:54Speaker 2: my listeners to get out and vote this fall. But
- 1:56Speaker 2: what I'm seeing is Amy Lockdown acting running basically neck
- 2:01Speaker 2: and neck with viv Gramaswamy in a state that's supposed
- 2:03Speaker 2: to be pretty solid red. I mean, are you seeing
- 2:05Speaker 2: any red flags on this race?
- 2:07Speaker 1: Tom?
- 2:07Speaker 2: I guess because again, either I question the polls or
- 2:11Speaker 2: I scratched my head over the sanity of the voting
- 2:13Speaker 2: population that's been asked how they're going to vote in
- 2:15Speaker 2: this fall.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Brian, I think you're you know, yeah, we don't trust
- 2:20Speaker 1: the polls. That's why I uhould do all my own polling.
- 2:23Speaker 1: But the reality is, you know, it shouldn't even be close,
- 2:27Speaker 1: and if it is close, there's something wrong. And there
- 2:30Speaker 1: is something wrong. You know, you're hearing it from your listeners.
- 2:34Speaker 1: I'm hearing it across the state and across the nation.
- 2:37Speaker 1: There's multiple things that are really hurting us this fall.
- 2:40Speaker 1: One is property taxes. The Republicans never really addressed it.
- 2:45Speaker 1: They you know, they kind of you know, tiptone around it.
- 2:47Speaker 1: There are some things coming to the House has sent
- 2:50Speaker 1: it pass that are going to relieve some of that,
- 2:52Speaker 1: but it hasn't been enough and people are still upset
- 2:56Speaker 1: about that. The second thing is data centers. Oh my gosh.
- 3:00Speaker 1: I mean I have begged every Republican I can find
- 3:03Speaker 1: to lead on this. You know, get out there. It's
- 3:06Speaker 1: bully victim hero. The bully are the data centers. The
- 3:10Speaker 1: victims are the people. The Republicans need to be the hero.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Get out and say we're going to fix this. We're
- 3:16Speaker 1: going to have safe data sets. We're going to make
- 3:18Speaker 1: sure the PUCO doesn't raise your electric rates, we're going
- 3:21Speaker 1: to make sure the EOHIOIPA protects your water. But they're
- 3:25Speaker 1: not doing that. And then the final thing was and
- 3:27Speaker 1: I you know, I've talked to you and is very
- 3:30Speaker 1: kind to give us airtime for this, but I pushed
- 3:32Speaker 1: for them to do a temporary suspension of the fuel tax.
- 3:36Speaker 1: And as I said before, it wasn't about the fuel tax.
- 3:40Speaker 1: It was about forty three percent of Ohio voters say
- 3:43Speaker 1: that inflation and the economy are going to decide who
- 3:47Speaker 1: they vote for in November. And by suspending the fuel
- 3:50Speaker 1: tax and giving people a few hundred bucks back in
- 3:53Speaker 1: their wallet between now and November, they could have shown
- 3:56Speaker 1: that they're not just talk, but they actually give a
- 3:59Speaker 1: dang about you and your life and how you're doing.
- 4:03Speaker 1: They haven't done any of that, so this tremendous hesitancy.
- 4:07Speaker 1: So they're not going to vote for Amy Acting, but
- 4:09Speaker 1: you don't have to. If you don't vote, you are
- 4:12Speaker 1: voting for am Acting.
- 4:14Speaker 2: There you go, without question. Let's double down on that.
- 4:17Speaker 2: If you stay at home because you're not overwhelmingly one
- 4:20Speaker 2: hundred percent satisfied with either candidate, you are assuring the
- 4:23Speaker 2: least the least of your two choices a victory. I've
- 4:28Speaker 2: had this discussion with, you know, some conservative friends of mine.
- 4:31Speaker 2: I'm not going to vote for rumswa. I mean he's
- 4:33Speaker 2: a corporate or he's a I don't know. They've always
- 4:35Speaker 2: come up with some nonsensical argument that he's just not
- 4:38Speaker 2: perfect or he's not good enough. What's the alternative? Any lockdown?
- 4:42Speaker 2: Acting on the heels of what we've learned from doctor
- 4:44Speaker 2: fauci Uh, we need to get the message out more.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Tom's aust ask you specifically. I want to ask you,
- 4:50Speaker 2: is are the data center issues that we talk about here?
- 4:53Speaker 2: Can we actually solve the problem, most notably your comments
- 4:55Speaker 2: about our energy costs that seems maybe to be in
- 5:00Speaker 2: the hands of the federal government more with krc DE
- 5:02Speaker 2: talk station seven forty here fiftybou KRCD Talk Station. Tom's
- 5:08Speaker 2: Outstownsing's on phone. He's with We the People Convention dot Org.
- 5:11Speaker 2: We hear from Tom every week. I recommend to check
- 5:12Speaker 2: his website out and bookmarket and check out his podcast
- 5:15Speaker 2: every week. Pivoting back to the gubernatorial race, Amy acton
- 5:19Speaker 2: vvank Ramaswaman and I agree with you. It's very important
- 5:22Speaker 2: that Republicans start getting out, generally speaking Republicans to talk
- 5:25Speaker 2: about property taxes. We got a new level. We had
- 5:27Speaker 2: two levees here in Hamilton County. One Hamilton County levee
- 5:30Speaker 2: to increase property taxes, and we also have the Sincini
- 5:33Speaker 2: Public Schools going after another property tax levee themselves. So
- 5:37Speaker 2: it's particularly hard hit if you're a resident of Cincinnati.
- 5:39Speaker 2: Both of those levees were to pass, but property taxes
- 5:43Speaker 2: is the ballot? Is there still a petition circulated to
- 5:45Speaker 2: eliminate property taxes in Ohio?
- 5:47Speaker 1: Tom, Yeah, they are going to continue to collect signatures
- 5:52Speaker 1: and the hopes of getting enough to put on the ballot.
- 5:55Speaker 1: Say in twenty twenty seven. I don't know if it
- 5:58Speaker 1: can be done, because you know, people move people by,
- 6:01Speaker 1: you know, things change some of the signature. Why road,
- 6:05Speaker 1: I think it has to be done by the Republicans
- 6:07Speaker 1: that we elect. And they're promising, right, I mean, you're
- 6:11Speaker 1: the vegas saying in his speeches, you know that they're gonna,
- 6:14Speaker 1: you know, reform property taxes. And I've talked on this
- 6:17Speaker 1: show before that I've actually presented him with a plan
- 6:20Speaker 1: to reform property taxes that I think people would really like.
- 6:23Speaker 1: And I think that's what he wants to do. The
- 6:26Speaker 1: question is can you get the Republican houses send it
- 6:29Speaker 1: to back them and doing it. I'm not confident of
- 6:32Speaker 1: that and it's concerning to me and I keep warning them,
- 6:36Speaker 1: you guys are all talk, we need to see action.
- 6:39Speaker 1: That's why the gas tax suspension was a simple way
- 6:43Speaker 1: to show that you would actually do something that benefited
- 6:47Speaker 1: me instead of talk about it. And they didn't do it.
- 6:50Speaker 1: And I just think they have a credibility issue because
- 6:52Speaker 1: that we get a lot of promises brand but we
- 6:55Speaker 1: just don't get a lot of action.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Well, that is true, and it's a kind of a
- 6:58Speaker 2: typical thing coming out of Columba. But in terms of
- 7:00Speaker 2: property taxes, you can say reform eliminate, But that goes
- 7:04Speaker 2: along with well, then what about fill in the blank please?
- 7:07Speaker 2: Fire libraries, parks, recreations, all the other stuff that's funded
- 7:12Speaker 2: by property taxes. It becomes a very complicated thing to
- 7:15Speaker 2: unwind for voters to understand what it'll look like on
- 7:18Speaker 2: the other side if we eliminate or somehow remove some
- 7:22Speaker 2: of the burden of property taxes.
- 7:23Speaker 1: And I can answer that. I can answer that directly.
- 7:26Speaker 1: So the package I gave to the VEK is real simple.
- 7:28Speaker 1: First of all, everyone needs to understand the property tax
- 7:30Speaker 1: reform is not about just giving you more and less
- 7:33Speaker 1: property taxes. It's about reforming our bloated government at every
- 7:38Speaker 1: bloody level in this state. That's the problem with all.
- 7:41Speaker 1: That's why we're not Florida or Texas. We are bloated
- 7:45Speaker 1: at every level. So how do you do that? Well,
- 7:48Speaker 1: the reform package that I presented to the VEK, it
- 7:51Speaker 1: basically gives everybody a nine percent haircut. Okay, Now you
- 7:55Speaker 1: can't say to me, oh, we can't run the police
- 7:57Speaker 1: department if you cut nine percent. Still no firemen if
- 8:00Speaker 1: you cut nine percent, When you know, in twenty twenty
- 8:04Speaker 1: you had exactly the same money, and we had fire
- 8:06Speaker 1: departments and police departments. So the whole idea was to
- 8:10Speaker 1: give a reset and give them an insenttive them meaning
- 8:14Speaker 1: local government etsies, whether they be libraries or you know,
- 8:17Speaker 1: townships or whatever, to start to consolidate, to get rid
- 8:22Speaker 1: of duplicate programs, to have eighty eight school districts instead
- 8:27Speaker 1: of six hundred and ten, for God's sake, that's what
- 8:30Speaker 1: property tax reform is really about, reforming government, not just
- 8:35Speaker 1: property taxes.
- 8:36Speaker 2: Yeah, and that each one is a little thief to
- 8:38Speaker 2: them with its own power control and people who do
- 8:40Speaker 2: not want to relinquish power. There's no way I'm going
- 8:42Speaker 2: to give up my power. And then you run headlong
- 8:44Speaker 2: into both Republicans and Democrats with that mindset. So I
- 8:48Speaker 2: appreciate what you're saying. Can't disagree with the fact we
- 8:50Speaker 2: have too many school districts, but fighting that is sometimes
- 8:54Speaker 2: seems to be an insurmountable challenge, but one that's worthy
- 8:57Speaker 2: of being taken on pivoting over to data centers. Tom's ouist.
- 9:01Speaker 2: The problem seems to me that we do literally have
- 9:03Speaker 2: an off the shelf solution for our power needs. It's
- 9:06Speaker 2: small modular reactors. Is a great article in the paper
- 9:08Speaker 2: a lot last week talking about all of these different
- 9:11Speaker 2: startup companies that went from start with no nuclear reactor
- 9:14Speaker 2: to finish a operable small modular reactor, all of them
- 9:17Speaker 2: smaller than a semi tractor trailer truck bed, and they
- 9:21Speaker 2: work and they provide an abundance of power. We could
- 9:23Speaker 2: have those right now. If one of the problems the
- 9:25Speaker 2: federal government. It's a regulatory scheme we don't have. Probably
- 9:28Speaker 2: the state does not have control over its own nuclear
- 9:31Speaker 2: regulatory scheme. So if we removed all of the state impediments,
- 9:35Speaker 2: regulatory and otherwise, we still have the federal government to
- 9:38Speaker 2: deal with. How do we overcome that challenge?
- 9:41Speaker 1: Well, today President Trump is having a meeting with all
- 9:44Speaker 1: the AI guys, talking more about security and make sure
- 9:48Speaker 1: that the AI is say but I'm sure they're also
- 9:51Speaker 1: talking about this problem. It is a problem of regulation.
- 9:55Speaker 1: It's over regulation in some places and under regulation in
- 9:59Speaker 1: other places, and we haven't gotten it right. But at
- 10:01Speaker 1: least they're aware of it and they are acting on it.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Because Brian, we just have to get this right. This
- 10:08Speaker 1: is an existential threat. Yeah, The bottom line is, whoever
- 10:11Speaker 1: wins the AI race is going to be the one
- 10:14Speaker 1: that governs the next hundred years, and we don't want
- 10:16Speaker 1: the Chinese to be the ones doing that.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Right, it's here. It's a thing. In spite of the
- 10:21Speaker 2: fact that I agree, I do not like really pretty
- 10:24Speaker 2: much anything that AI provides to us. We've made it
- 10:27Speaker 2: this far without it. It's here. So the question is,
- 10:30Speaker 2: are we going to take the benefits of the AI
- 10:32Speaker 2: data centers, taxation and otherwise jobs and keep it, or
- 10:35Speaker 2: we're gonna let somebody else deal with it? More fundamentally,
- 10:37Speaker 2: the existential threat you mentioned, are we gonna let the
- 10:39Speaker 2: Chinese Communist Party deal with this and set the stage
- 10:42Speaker 2: for how AI operates into the future, or are we
- 10:45Speaker 2: the United States going to govern that. I like the
- 10:47Speaker 2: United States taking care of matters a lot more than
- 10:49Speaker 2: I think about the Chinese Communist Party doing it. Tom,
- 10:53Speaker 2: there's a saga here.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Do we just trust something? Yeah? Really do?
- 10:58Speaker 2: But they're better than the jieties of two problems. The
- 11:02Speaker 2: saga and it is of Ohio Representative Max Miller. We're
- 11:05Speaker 2: gonna hear from Tom on that particular challenge. Bernie Moreno's
- 11:08Speaker 2: daughter is married to Max Miller, and apparently they got
- 11:11Speaker 2: some marital issues going on, maybe a real problem for Max.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Seven forty six right now more Tom's alistask after I
- 11:17Speaker 2: mentioned John Ryan Prestige Interiors, John JRC the talk station
- 11:23Speaker 2: seven fifty here fifty five KOSIP talk station. We eat
- 11:25Speaker 2: a people convention dot org. That's where you find Tom's
- 11:27Speaker 2: ALISTASKI throughout the week. You find him here on the
- 11:29Speaker 2: morning show on a Tuesday beginning at seven thirty. So Tom,
- 11:33Speaker 2: We're gonna pivot over and talk about the issues involving
- 11:37Speaker 2: Ohio Representative Max Miller, who's up for reelection in November,
- 11:40Speaker 2: happens to be the husband of Bernie Moreno, Senator Bernie
- 11:43Speaker 2: Marino's daughter, Emily, and there's some pretty serious allegations floating
- 11:48Speaker 2: around the claims that he pointed a gun at Emily's
- 11:51Speaker 2: head through against the wall port hot water on her
- 11:54Speaker 2: and also potentially fractured their two year old daughter's collar bone.
- 11:58Speaker 2: He denies the allegations and trust me having worked in
- 12:00Speaker 2: domestic relations court as a younger man, a lot of
- 12:03Speaker 2: these allegations quite often turn out to be lies. In
- 12:06Speaker 2: the middle of a terrible divorce situation which it sounds
- 12:09Speaker 2: like they're going through now. Trump so far hasn't told
- 12:11Speaker 2: him to bow out, although a lot of Republicans are
- 12:13Speaker 2: taking Dude, you got to get out of this race.
- 12:15Speaker 2: You cannot win in spite of the fact that his
- 12:17Speaker 2: district is very, very red. Your assessment of this, Tom Zawastowski, Well.
- 12:23Speaker 1: You know, how does this affect your listeners in Cincinnati. Well,
- 12:27Speaker 1: in Ohio, we redistrict did to try to get more
- 12:30Speaker 1: House seats, and now because of this controversy, you know,
- 12:34Speaker 1: we could have a House seat that's in jeopardy, so
- 12:37Speaker 1: it's important for us. Let me just say flat out.
- 12:41Speaker 1: One of the first people Max Miller met when he
- 12:44Speaker 1: decided to run for Congress after being an aide to
- 12:46Speaker 1: President Trump in the first term was Tom Zawastowski. I
- 12:50Speaker 1: helped him get elected in twenty twenty two to replace
- 12:53Speaker 1: Bob Gibbons, and unfortunately, like a lot of Republicans that
- 12:57Speaker 1: we've helped at the Weaving People Convention, after he got elected,
- 13:00Speaker 1: our relationship sort of ended and he doesn't really talk
- 13:02Speaker 1: with me much anymore. I know Bernie Marino, I know
- 13:05Speaker 1: you know Bernie Marino. I consider Bernie a friend. I
- 13:08Speaker 1: think he considers me a friend, and I'm sure you
- 13:11Speaker 1: saw his post on social media that was just gut wrenching.
- 13:15Speaker 1: But my interpretation is pretty much like your experience. I
- 13:20Speaker 1: think this is that I think that Max and his
- 13:23Speaker 1: statement Sunday saying that this is not true and that
- 13:26Speaker 1: the courts that you know, the Child Services has investigated
- 13:30Speaker 1: and haven't found anything. I don't think Max is going
- 13:33Speaker 1: to drop out, and I think that he can still
- 13:35Speaker 1: win if he doesn't drop out, because it is a
- 13:37Speaker 1: very red district. But this goes to what you and
- 13:41Speaker 1: I decide to talk about today, and that is we've
- 13:45Speaker 1: got to understand the situation. There's a lot of people
- 13:49Speaker 1: on the ballot we don't like, particularly Republican side. I'm
- 13:53Speaker 1: asking your listeners to not vote for Republicans this year,
- 13:57Speaker 1: vote for themselves. I'm asking you all to vote in
- 14:01Speaker 1: your own best interest, our best interests as we the people,
- 14:05Speaker 1: is to vote for every Republican with a pulse, regardless
- 14:09Speaker 1: of their policies, their past history, with regardless of what
- 14:13Speaker 1: they've done to us, for one reason, because we have
- 14:16Speaker 1: a chance to destroy the Democratic Communist Party and literally
- 14:20Speaker 1: make them go the way of the Whigs. That's in
- 14:23Speaker 1: our best interest. We'll deal with the Rhino Republicans after that.
- 14:28Speaker 1: This fall, you've got to turn out and droves and
- 14:32Speaker 1: vote in your own best interest because thanks to the
- 14:35Speaker 1: idiots on the Democratic side who are going for this
- 14:39Speaker 1: Kamy nonsense, they're giving us the opportunity to wipe them
- 14:44Speaker 1: off the map. That's what Tom's Awastowski and the we
- 14:47Speaker 1: the people conventionally want to do, wipe the Kamis off
- 14:50Speaker 1: the map.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Well, I do believe Max Miller has got a problem
- 14:54Speaker 2: on his hands. God knows, I guess. I suppose one
- 14:58Speaker 2: could argue he should do the noble thing and just
- 15:00Speaker 2: back out because the seat might be in jeopardy given
- 15:02Speaker 2: the allegations, again which have not yet been proven. But
- 15:05Speaker 2: who would be who who would substitute for him in
- 15:08Speaker 2: the race? I mean, is there even a contender out
- 15:10Speaker 2: there that could get elected.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Yeah, there would be a special election. It's not one
- 15:14Speaker 1: of these things where they just appoint somebody. So that
- 15:17Speaker 1: would be a quickie, right, a quick spacual election. The
- 15:19Speaker 1: name that's getting floated, which I'm not happy about, is
- 15:22Speaker 1: Jim or Nacy, Jim er Nacy in the district, and
- 15:25Speaker 1: you know he's a former congressman, and you know that's
- 15:29Speaker 1: the name that most have been popping up. So that
- 15:32Speaker 1: gives me reason to want to encourage Max to continue
- 15:34Speaker 1: to stay in because I don't want Jim.
- 15:36Speaker 2: Ernacy fair enough. Axios is reporting that Donald Trump had
- 15:40Speaker 2: a phone with Miller just yesterday and expressed doubts over
- 15:43Speaker 2: his candidacy, saying, at least it's reported that Trump told
- 15:46Speaker 2: him things aren't looking good repeatedly and it'll be a
- 15:50Speaker 2: tough reelection. He didn't tell him to bow out, to
- 15:52Speaker 2: the best of the report of my knowledge considering the
- 15:54Speaker 2: reporting on this, but I guess Trump has chimed in
- 15:56Speaker 2: with with Max Miller.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see what happened. But again for all of us,
- 16:02Speaker 1: we got to keep focused on the goal. You're the goal.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Our goals, not their goals. Our goals. Our goals is
- 16:08Speaker 1: to restore our nation and the only way we're going
- 16:10Speaker 1: to do that is to win the House and the
- 16:11Speaker 1: Senate and keep President Trump on track with the Make
- 16:14Speaker 1: America Great Again agenda.
- 16:16Speaker 2: A man, Tom's Awastowski. Either people can mention dot or
- 16:19Speaker 2: check him out and Tom we'll talk again next week.
- 16:22Speaker 2: Keep up the great work. My friend's always a pleasure
- 16:23Speaker 2: having you.
