  Speaker 1: For prosperity. Donind and Neil, we're gonna talking about the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: America two fifty celebration as we have been talking about
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the last several weeks. Real quick, Donald and Neil, welcome back,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: my friend and I if Father's Day applies to you,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: let me give you an early advance. Happy Father's Day.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Donovan, Well, thank you, and you as well. I do
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I appreciate. I've got three, three not so little ones.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: They're almost they're all pretty much teenagers. Now.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Oh well, I'm a little ahead of you. My pumpkin,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: my little girl, My youngest daughter's getting married next week,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and we're so happy for both of them. We love
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the guy, and of course it's just you know, as
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: we head on into Father's Dad, it's like probably the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: greatest gift ever. My daughter selected a really great guy
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that we love. And how many parents out there fighting
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: that up. He'll struggle like, oh my god, I hate
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: who my daughter or son is going out with. They're
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: terrible people. Anyway, we got past that burden, So I'm
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: gonna pat my wife and myself on the back for
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: at least raising a smart girl. But donovand real quick,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you're going door to door all the time before we
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: get to two fifty. I am really just so upset
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: because I hear from experts and people out in the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: world to know politics. Here in the state of Ohio,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: we got vvag Ramasomi or Amy Acton. To me, that
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: is no choice. But I've got more and more people
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: saying they're going to sit it out because for whatever reason,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: they don't think vvig Ramasom he's worth voting for, which
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: really irks me. And a lot of times I'm hearing
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: because he's a person of color and Hindu, and that
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: really irks me more than anything. I mean, I thought
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: we lived in a post racial society. You have a
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: demonstrably brilliant man who's willing to sacrifice his time. He
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: does not need the job, but he's got great ideas
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: to advance Ohio, make it more competitive. And yet, no,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: he's not perfect, So I'm not going to go out
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and vote Donovan. Are you finding this out when you're
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: door knocking?
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: What? First off? No, I think you're spot on, Brian,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: and with your assessment here, and what I would say
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: is that we've found this over the years. The loudest
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: voices aren't always reflective of where the majority is and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I think the majority of conservatives are looking for a champion,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: and they see that I'm a vague because someone who's
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: gonna cut taxes, cut red tape and regulation and power
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: failings with education, opportunity, curve spending, move Ohio for middle
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: in the Midwest to number one of the nation.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: You don't get the free state of Florida without a
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: bold governor like Ronda Santis. And I don't think we're
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: going to have a bolder, better Bucky say, without without
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: somebody like you know, the big crolmost want me to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: options between him and Amy Acting couldn't be more clear.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: See, And that's the that's the only place they can
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: conclude based upon simple application of logic and reason. Do
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you want Amy lockdown Acting and whatever left wing craps
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: she's gonna bring to the dead, to the to the office,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: or do you want a guy that said he's never
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: going to go down that road. He wants to free
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: up markets and let people prosper and thrive and you know,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: bring energy to you know, It's just there is no comparison.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: So let's put down the fact that it happened to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: be a person of color and not your religion. We
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: don't live in a theocracy. He can't make your worship anything.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: And this isn't rewarding some religion over another, Eh, Donovan,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I just want to tear every.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Time I take again. You know, the folks there, I'm
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: convinced there. You know, you could have Donald Trump and
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan run for governor and lieutenant governor here in
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the state of Ohio and there would still be full
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: of lliating conservatives who say they're just not good enough.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, folks on that, on that point, I'm gonna let
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: that go well, stated Donovan Neil. We'll talk about the
• 3:11

  Speaker 1: Twitter at fifty anniversary.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Well, those are your listeners who who catch me on
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: your show regularly. Know we talk a lot of politics,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: We do a lot of policy. We're putting all that
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: down to really dial in and focus on the one
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: small steps that ordinary Americans have taken over the last
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty years to create the most extraordinary
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: nation on earth. And so we're going to have folks
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: like Jack Windsor interviewing actually us some three times US
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: men's national soccer team goalie Brad Friedel. Brad's an Ohio native,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: represented Ohio and has in the seasonal World Cup fever.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Right now, with the World Cup being right here in
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: the United States, we're excited to have Brad join us.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: He's a goalie played with the Columbus Crew, which is
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: where our event's going to be held. So Jack will
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: be interviewing Brad talking about how you go from small
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: town Ohio guy to world stage representing a nation in
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: a global competition. We're going to have folks like Kelly
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Williams Bowler. Kelly is an Akron mom who took her
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: kids out of one school, put him in another and
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: actually went to Jailbrian for doing that, for giving her
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: kids a better education. And then there's nothing more patriotic
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: right than country music. We're going to have country music
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: star Kofe Anderson actually announcing him on your show right now.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Brandkfe Anderson is going to join us to provide a
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: musical performance during the program. So we've got you know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: global athletes, we've got conservative voices like Jack Windsor. We've
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: got moms on a mission like Kelly Williams Buller, We've
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: got country music stars like Kofe Anderson, all in celebration
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: of the Greatest Nation honor.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: And there's also food and drinks there as I see
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: on there, so you got that aspect covered as well.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: It's it'd be a great time at five PM's a
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: star time Huntington Field Club at Scott's Miracle Grow that's
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the place to be and it's Monday. Get all the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: information online and sign up register for the event. That's
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: important to do, Donovan and Neil. I maybe Jack Winser
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: will talk to the soccer player Brad about international travel
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and what it's like in other countries, because I think
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: one of the problems that most Americans have not experienced
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: what the rest of the world looks like, and they
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: tend to take for granted the beauty and the awesomeness
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: of what we've got here.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Without a doubt. And I think, you know, we're the
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: greatest nation on earth for a reason, right It's these
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: foundational principles life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, the fact that
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: you know, everybody has the opportunity to achieve their version
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: of the American dream. And in fact, actually one other
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: group we're going to have speaking the Libre Initiative. That's
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: our Hispanic outreach liear Maren Markham, our strategic director. She's
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: put together a number of Hispanic leaders, Hispanic and Latino
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: leaders from across Ohio who she'll be featuring in order
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: to put a point, on a fine point on folks
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: who leave, you know, South American communist nations or leave,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: you know, take one small step to leave that environment,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: to create a better opportunity become American citizens and create
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: you know, their version of the American dream, just like
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: you know our ancestors did before us. Brian, It's going
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: to be I just can't say it enough. It's going
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: to be a phenomenal program and really hit all the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: keynotes about patriotism, freedom, liberty, the stuff that makes this
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: country great.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's stuff that you used to just give me
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: a proud tingle up the back of my spine. And
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: with all the negativity floating out in the world and
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: in the horrors and the problems in the world generally,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and all these anti United States people that live here
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: and enjoy all these great benefits our nation offers them,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: for them to turn their back on it and criticize
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: us and try to undermine what has worked out so
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: well and brought prosperity to so many people, that's a heartbreaker.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: We need more patriotism in this country, and I sure
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: hope we get a big dose of it at the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: two fifty celebration, Donovan.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Well, absolutely, and I've actually kind of been looking around.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm an eternal optimist, but it feels to
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: me like we're just not celebrating America's twenter fiftieth strong enough.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: And so that's why we're proud to put so much
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: effort into this, right We're you know, we need more parades,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: we need more festivals, we need more of that celebration
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: of American exceptionalism. We're going to bring it AFPCBA, Librate,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: We're going to bring it June twenty second. And so
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: if you're you know, one of your listeners is on
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: and there like, yeah, I'm looking for a way to
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: celebrate America. No better way than joining us. You know
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: this this coming Monday in Columbus, it'll be it'll be great.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Well on behalf of myself and all my listening audience.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I want to thank you for what Americans for Prosperity
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: does throughout the entire year, and for lining up these
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: various celebrations of America's greatness. Get the information, Americans for Prosperities.

• 10:10
