00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,840

13
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: Americans for Prosperity, Donald Oneil, Welcome back to the Morning show.

14
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: Brian. Always great to be with you, Always.

15
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: A pleasure to have you on, and a big thanks

16
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: in upfront for all the work that AFP does to

17
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: help people make it to make it easy for people

18
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: to help get involved with elections here in the state

19
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: of Ohio. It's so important and every little bit accounts,

20
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: as you always point that out. We got early voting

21
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: kickoff coming up. What's this one all about, Donovan?

22
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: Well, that time of years here, Brian, it's not just

23
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: spring showers. We got to get out and get the

24
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: vote out. And you know, I always describe it as

25
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: you me, Joe. We're weird, right, we eat, sleep, and

26
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: breathe this political stuff. We're always paying attention to know

27
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: when these things are. But most of islands, most Americans,

28
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: you know, they're just trying to make ends meet with

29
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: the bills, get the kids to soccer practice or my case,

30
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: kids to theater practice, and you know, they they're not

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: plugged into what's you know, entirely going on, or how

32
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 1: to cut through the noise that is, you know, political

33
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: ads season. And so that's why our get out the

34
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: vote efforts so important to make sure that we're connecting

35
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: Ohioan's right on the issues that matter, and we do

36
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: that through door to door canvassing. April seventh is the

37
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: beginning of early vote, and so we're going to go

38
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: out across the state and do a big get out

39
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: the vote drive to help remind folks that whether you

40
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: vote early, vote by mail, or vote in person on

41
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: election day, we want people to make a plan to vote,

42
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: and you've got thirty days to do it.

43
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: And in terms of obviously af Action is a more

44
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: conservative leaning organization, So you're not out campaigning for the

45
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: likes of Shared Brown. But do you hand out like

46
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: recommendations like hey, you got to remember the judges are

47
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: on the ballot too, and here's a list of judges

48
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 2: or a specific recommendations as you go door to door,

49
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 2: or it's just just generally talking about voting.

50
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: No, we actually talk about the candidates we endure. So

51
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: on afpfashion side right, talk about John Houstad and his

52
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: his record the last eighteen months representing us as our

53
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: senator and what's at stake, the ballots, power for Congresses

54
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: at stake, and so reminding folks of that. And then

55
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: on the AFP side right that that team is out

56
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: there letting folks know about the folks who are going

57
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: to represent you in Columbus and primaries matter. As we

58
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: well know, Brian, there's a big difference between you know,

59
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: we're across the spectrum of Republicans and so called conservatives.

60
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: We make sure to get out there and talk about

61
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: the folks who are going to fight to lower taxes,

62
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: cut red tape, and regulations and empower families with school choice.

63
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, Vva Gramosolm. He's got the whole idea

64
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: about property tax and obviously a huge topic here in Ohio.

65
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: But his platform is to roll the property taxes back

66
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: to where they were before COVID kicked in, and then

67
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: cap them at a rate of inflation. That seems to

68
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: be a brilliant suggestion compared to I don't know the

69
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: situation we're living with right now here in Ohio.

70
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: Well, the situation we're really with right now in Ohio

71
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: is untenable. You know, I get. I have the blessing

72
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: of travel in the state. You have the blessing of

73
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: hearing for folks across southwest Ohio and bringing them on

74
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: your show to talk with them. We all know what

75
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: the problem is here in the state. We need bold

76
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: leadership that's going to actually address these problems and do

77
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: it in a way right that doesn't shift the burden

78
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: to a different type of tax or ultimately, you know,

79
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: leave many services police fire. I kind of like knowing

80
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: those services exist, yes, in a questionable state.

81
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: Well, we all appreciate our police and fire here on

82
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: the Morning show too, talk about issues and challenges we're

83
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: dealing with here on a local basis in the city

84
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: Cincinnati's yea, oh my word. I guess you do get

85
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: word about stuff like that too, don't you.

86
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that you know. I think the thing I

87
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: saw on that is Aftab just can't the mayor can't

88
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: take a day off. But I think there's a bigger

89
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: problem than that. I think it comes down to leadership

90
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: at the city level and they need to they make

91
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: some serious changes. The voters in Cincinnati probably do.

92
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, they missed the memo about it. Speaking of voting,

93
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: and your your kick on early voting is get people out.

94
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: Remind them that there is an opportunity to vote. The

95
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: primaries matter, the elections matter. If you'd only gotten the

96
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: AFP Action crew out there in full force in the

97
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: downtown Cincinnati area, maybe more than one of the four

98
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: voters who are registered might have shown up to vote.

99
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: Well, And that's part of you know, beyond just this

100
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: effort we do here right now, right, I'll put a

101
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: plug in. You know, we have some grassroots leader development programs.

102
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: We bring folks to Columbus, we spend multiple days investing

103
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: in them to help them become grassroots leaders at that

104
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: local level where they can impact these things. Right, we

105
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: don't just we don't just not just the X, you know,

106
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: we don't try to just be the experts who tell

107
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: people what to do. You know. We like these bottom

108
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: up solutions. We want. You know, if there are folks

109
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: listeners that you have on the show, Brian, who want

110
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: to take actions, who want to make a difference in

111
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: the community, they just don't know quite yet how they

112
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: need to get plugged in with us, because we will

113
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: help equip them to be difference makers in their community.

114
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: Run their own get out of the vote programs, run

115
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: their own grassroots organizations, and it gets results, It has

116
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: an impact, and we'd love to have them join with us.

117
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 2: And the call to action to do just that is

118
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,679
Speaker 2: to go to afpaction dot com.

119
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, that's you can learn all about our endorsement

120
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: for Senator John Houston, how to get involved and make

121
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: a difference this election. Our country needs it.

122
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: Our country definitely needs it. And I appreciate AFP and

123
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: everything that you and the folks at AFP do each

124
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: and every day. Donald Neil. We'll get you back on

126
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: help you to help us collectively. That's what it's all about, Donovan.
