  Speaker 2: you're on the phone with me?
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: So anyhow, No, but.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Like listen, I'm looking at the subject matter. I've been
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: kind of chuckling about it all morning among my listening audience.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: The need to support John Hughes that over shared Brown.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: That's an easy ask for my listening audience, and talk
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: about the importance of that, and then we'll get to
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: what my listeners can do, because you would AFP make
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: it so easy for us to get engaged.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and just to be I'm on representing Americans
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: for Prosperity Action. I'm a senior advisor here in Ohio.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: AFP Action on Monday announced its endorsement of Senator John
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Houstad for reelection this November.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Again, not a big surprise.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: We've had a long history with now Senator Houstead. He
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: was the original recipient of the taxpayer torture that AFP
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: issues every year, fought for reg reform and the Common
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Sense Initiative during his time as Lieutenant governor. As former
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Speaker of the Ohio House, he worked to bring school
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: choice to the state of Ohio and get us on
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: the path that we are now at on tax reform,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: getting Ohio to a flat tax. He started that move
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: well Speaker of the Ohio House, and so as Senator,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: we've seen him deliver on the promises that voters were
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: looking for in twenty twenty four, funding secure borders, locking
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: in the twenty seventeen Trump tax cuts, and he's committed
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: to making sure we get.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Energy policy right in this country.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Now that has some other hurdles in Washington, as we're
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: all learning at this stage. But he's focused on the
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: right things, been doing the right work for a long
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: time for the people of Ohio, and we're just thrilled
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: to be able to stand alongside him to get that
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: message out and make sure voters know we got to
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: send John Houstead to Washington.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: This November, no question about I'm glad you got the
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: endorsement again, long time coming and much expected from AFP
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: considering what AFP actions doing. Tell you what I'm gonna
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: bring you back down. We'll talk about the ways which
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: my listeners can help, and I want to ask you
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: ahead of time, so you know what I'm going to ask.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Are there any and I think this is a legitimate
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: discussion for us to have. You know, there are some
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: issues that Democrats might have a little bit disway over
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the Republicans. I would say few and far between, but
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: there's always those challenging issues, and I'm kind of curious
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: to know if you have any insight into where those
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: potentially problematic issues are and maybe explain why they're really
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: not a problem for John Houstad. I know this spins
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: one thing, but reality happens to be another. But these
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: are kind of things we have to talk about as
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: we head on in the election of November. More with
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Donald and Neil Americans for Prosperity with his Action hat
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: On after I mentioned odo exit is perfect. Odo exit
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: works on everything except the stench of politics. If you
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: have an odor springtime, skunk out, that skunk comes out
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: and sprays your dog or anything else for that matter.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: The talk station.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Seven forty here if you have KERCD talk station Happy Wednesday,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: right Thomas with Donald and Neil Americans for Prosperity Action
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: has hat On today talking about the battle between Shared
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Brown and John Houston, and of course then we need
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: to elect John Houston. Starting with I'm just looking at
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: current polling and I am a little distressed to find
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: out that in the if you look all of them quantas,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: EMC on Message, Emerson College, Brown Bowling Green University, a
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: much other poles there pretty much neck and neck. I
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: would argue, within the margin of error with the average
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: of the top three polls, Brown got has forty seven
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: point three and John Houston has forty six percent, So
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: neck and neck and on. In a red state of Ohio,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I find that a little hard to swallow any response
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: or answer to why that might be, assuming the polls
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: have some sense of accuracy. Donovan, Yeah, well, I mean you.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Just look at historical trends and you know that, you know,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: the party with in power oftentimes is the underdog in
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: an upcoming midterm election. In other words, right, American politics
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: is a pendulum. The pendulum swung in twenty twenty four
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: very strong for Republicans, for conservatives. We came out of
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: four years of Bidenomics economy, and folks were ready for change. Now,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: you know, different folks have opinions of how that change
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: is happening. One of the challenges, you know, when you're
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: in the majority is you've got to lead, and when
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: you're in the minority, you could lob you know, proverbial
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: bombs and throw rocks and right, because you're not in leadership,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: you can really do whatever you want, and that has
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: an impact on public opinion. Our task, you know, this year,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: really is to get out there and help connect.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Folks to the why of the Education Party.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, because you know my reaction and Donald, I mean interrupt,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: but my reaction which time I hear that the party
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: in power tends to lose and you ask yourself, Wait
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: a second, why Now, I understand the party and power
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: and a Bide administration would have lost seats because well,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: he was an idiot and things were going south on us.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: You know, gasoline prices a hell a lot higher than
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: they are now in spite of the ward outbreak. And
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: we could go on and on and on. Policies were
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: not helping the American people. Inflation going through the roof,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: really high inflation versus what it is that you could
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: objectively see what was hurting you. Now I understand Trump
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: derangement syndrome. Of course that's going to rub off on
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: this on this race too, But the question is why
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: what the hell is Shared Brown offering or suggesting? And
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: you went through John Houston a very brief account of
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: what he has been able to accomplish. He's a list
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: been very very successful. And if you look at Shared
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Brown's own website, he fights. Apparently he fights. He's a
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: fighter fighting for the worker. You know, okay, fight, fight,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: but what did you do? What are you promising? He
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: doesn't even have an issues page at Chared Brown Ohio.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Well, that's one of the interesting things about Shereberrown, right,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: and it's what we've seen throughout his career is he's
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: a chameleon. Who he is in Oha, who he portrays
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: himself as being in Ohio is entirely different than what
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: his record is in Washington, d C. And that's the
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: thing we've got to get out there and do. Now
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: his advantages he doesn't have to actually govern right now.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: He can go around the state, have small curated groups
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: that sit down with him, provide a favorable message and
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: portrayal to traditional news media and social media content creators.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: But he doesn't actually have to lead, and so he
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: can spend his time lobbing bombs and throwing rocks without
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: having to do the work. But again, it's why organizations
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: like ours getting in the fight is going to be
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: so critical, because we have the ability to go out there.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: We've got the data, we understand where the voters are
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: that are.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Open to receiving our.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Message, and there's enough of unfortunately that can make sure
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: that we win this thing.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: But we've seen how shared Brown campaigns.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: He's a tough campaigner, and that's why we got to
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: get out there. We can't count any of this as
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: being done yet, even though we are a red state,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: because that work has to be done in order to
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: win the votes to make sure that we protect the
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: new Republican majority in Washington, and.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: You walk right into it. That work, What is that work?
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: And what does Americans for Prosperity Action want to do
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: to help my listeners get engaged a little bit, a
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: whole lot, anything they're capable of doing. I know a
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: lot of listeners would love to help out in this race,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Donovan and Neil.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Well as if any good Ohio knows you're going to
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: receive the onslaught of mail in your mailbox, ads in
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: your Facebook feed, and TV ads on your Hulu, Netflix,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: whatever it is you watch accounts. But the thing we
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: do different at AFP Action is we actually go do doors.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: We go talk to people friend of friend, neighbor to neighbor, community,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: community across the state of Ohio. And what we found
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: over the years is that's the difference maker in elections, Brian,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: and you can imagine law. It's because we actually go
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: have conversations with people. We cut through the noise, We
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: cut through, you know, the half truth that oftentimes we
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: find on the television ads on regular networks, and we
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: have an ability for you know, one Ohioan like myself
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: with a family of three, married with a family of three,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: trying to get our kids paid for kids school, gas,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: and utility bills, having the ability to go talk to
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: another Ohioan who's experiencing the same things I am, and
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: help them understand why John Houston is the better alternative
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: to going back to a forty year career politician.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: It's a difference maker.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Doors matter, Brian, and that's what we're gonna be doing
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: a lot of this year.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this, because I'm pretty sure
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I understand where John Houston is where is Shriff Brown
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: on energy policy? My understanding is one of these Green
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: New Deal kind of embracers, which means the likelihood of
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: us getting some responsible, reliable, continuous power in Ohio or
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: anyplace else in this country is probably limited by our
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: global warming agenda.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Well, I think a large part why we're in the
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: situation we're in today, and actually it's not my thoughts,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: it's conversations I've had with policy makers, regulators, and otherwise.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: The reason we're in the situation we are today with
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: high utility bills, high energy prices in this country is
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: because for the last several decades, we've taken a protectionist approach,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: a small ball approach to energy policy making. We've picked
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: winners and losers in terms of solar and wind over
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: nuclear and coal and natural gas. John Houstad is somebody
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: who supports an all of the above energy policy right.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: What it does is I call it an abundance approach
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: to energy policy making.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: It's saying the way you know, it's the simple laws
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: of supply and demand.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: The way you make prices go down is you increase
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: the supply to overcome the demand. That'll make costs more
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: effective for homeowners like US Brian, for manufacturers creating jobs,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: and for our economy at large.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: We have the ability to do that here in Ohio.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Question is are we going to go backwards to a
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: winner you know, government picks the winners.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: And losers energy policy approach.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Are we gonna move forward with an abundance approach to
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: energy policy making? John Houston delivers that abundance approach to
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: energy policy making.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: No question about it. And I know that's a position
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: shared by V. V. Ramaswamy. Say what you want about
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: the man. He is very big on Ohio energy dominance
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: and he also is an above the board strategy. So
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: it's one more race that I'm counting on for my
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: listeners to consider as we move forward to November.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Americans for Prosperity.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: You got a website you want to direct my listeners too,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: so they can get engaged and help out with the
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: door knocking, Donovan.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: AFP action dot Com. Go to AFP action dot com,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: sign up, get in the fight. We're gonna have tons
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: of opportunities to get involved, reach out. It's gonna take
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: everybody across the state of Ohio getting in this fight
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: to help make sure.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: You know, the work we did in twenty twenty four
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: doesn't go to waste. We worked really hard to put
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Shared Brown into retirement. We're not going to let him
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: come back in twenty twenty six.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: I love your optimism, Donovan Neiel. We'll talk again next week.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Have a great week, my friend, and keep up the
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: great work at AFP seven four
