1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: In thirty one here fifty five cars the talk station.

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: Very happy Tuesday to you. Appreciate the assists this morning.

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: Thank you to Christopher Smithman in the last hour helped

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: me out as my brain spins from chemo. Tom's Awastowski

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: we the People Convention. You find one line of wee

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: the People Convention dot org. Welcome back, Tom. I enjoy

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: our conversations and so happy to see you on the

8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 1: rundown this morning, most notably since you brought with you

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: a list of endorsed candidates for the primary. We're fast

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: approaching the primary. Tom, could to have you back on

11
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: the show.

12
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: Oh, great to be with you, Brian, And yeah, this

13
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: is an interesting topic because of the Ohio Republican Party

14
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 2: Central Committee meeting on Friday that where they're going to

15
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: decide whether they're going to endorse some of these candidates

16
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: or not. That should be quite an interesting meeting on Friday,

17
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: for sure.

18
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: Well, much of the chagrin of Casey Putsch was on

19
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: the program, at least until he started cursing and melted

20
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: down last week. The Republican Party has already endorsed V. V. Ramaswami,

21
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: and I think he was insulted by that, and they

22
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: of course usually don't interject themselves early on in the

23
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: decision making process. I guess I'm curious your reaction of

24
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: how they went ahead in or why they may have

25
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: went ahead and did that. And you obviously on the

26
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: list here I see prominently upfront Vive Ramaswam. He's got

27
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: your endorsement.

28
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brian, I actually played a very significant role in

29
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: the endorsement of the Vike last year, last summer, and

30
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 2: I did a video that I put out that basically

31
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 2: made the case for endorsing Vi Vike Ramaswami to stop

32
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: the Columbus cartel for rigging the election for Jim Tressel,

33
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: who I thought they were going to put up to

34
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: run against them, And people can see that video at

35
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: Ohio citizenspack dot org. But the people in the Central

36
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: Committee actually said that the video I put forward really

37
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: was what made the difference to convince them to endorse

38
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: the Vike and Brian, like you, I'm a tea party guy.

39
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: I'm the leader of the Tea Party in Ohio for

40
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: the last sixteen years. I hate endorsing in primaries. There

41
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: should be no endorsements. But the problem is it's it's

42
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: always been a rig game, and he got to play

43
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: the game to win. And we needed to have a

44
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: vek Ramaswami, you know, as our candidate, and so that's

45
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: why we acted to ask for his endorsement and fight

46
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: for his endorsement, and we got it. And I'm I'm

47
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: doing that again with people like Marcel Sturbage and people

48
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: like that this week.

49
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: Okay, and we'll get to Marcel Sturbage. I had him

50
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: on the program last week. I was thoroughly impressed by Marcel.

51
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: I mean man that is a man of conviction. He's

52
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: firm on the issues, he knows where he's coming from.

53
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: He's strong. But in terms of Viva Ramaswami, based upon

54
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: and only, and this is not scientific whatsoever, I see

55
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: a lot of what seems to be a mounting concern

56
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: over the fact that vivik Ramaswami happens to be a

57
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: Hindu and not Christian, and as if that somehow might

58
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: impact his politics or how he's going to run the

59
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: state of Ohio. Tom correct me if I'm wrong. Last

60
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: time I checked, we don't live in a theocracy, and

61
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: an individual's religion is should have real, no material impact

62
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: on how he or she governs. But maybe I'm wrong

63
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: on that. Do you think Vivik is having an uphill

64
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: challenge merely because he doesn't have to be Christian?

65
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: There definitely are you know, people out there who are

66
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: expressing that opinion, and many of them are friends of mine.

67
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: Many of them are people I've worked with for years

68
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: who are on the religious right. And I said to them, hey, guys,

69
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 2: every time you see someone getting attacked because they're a

70
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: Christian who's running for office, you you know, you runs

71
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 2: into defense and say they shouldn't be, you know, judged

72
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: by their Christian values. And now you're turning around and

73
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: trying to tell me that Vivek Ramaswami should be judged

74
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: on his Christian values. I said, don't you know it's

75
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: a little hypocritical. Let's look at the man he's not

76
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: going to become governor and the man that we teach

77
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: Hindu in every pre K school in the in the

78
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: state of Ohio. So those are the kind of things

79
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: that you and I have to talk about and get

80
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: people to just relax and you know, focus on the

81
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: issue shoes and the person and not use those kind

82
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: of things to just really distort your view of what

83
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: you're voting on. You you're voting on what's best for

84
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: Ohio and really you're voting on what's best for you personally.

85
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: And when you listen to with vivek Ramaswami has to say, Man,

86
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: there's a lot of stuff he's saying. It's best for

87
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: you personally.

88
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and anybody speaking his platform, if you just ignored

89
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: the person uttering the words, you be screaming cheers of

90
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: excitement for that person that happens to be you know,

91
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: a statement's made in a campaign pledge from someone who

92
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: happens to be into. But then again, I'll go back

93
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: to the fact that he can't make me worship any

94
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: particular religion, nor can he you know, enact in or

95
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: enshrine in law any given religion. So I think what

96
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: he stands, where he stands on all the issues is

97
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: rock solid, at least in so far as conservative politics.

98
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: It's what you and I have won it for Roy.

99
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 2: How about a years now.

100
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: And limited government? Right, Tom z Awastowski, we the people, Yeah,

101
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: we don't.

102
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 2: Want that because he's a Hindu and George Jarrow's paid

103
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: for his internship.

104
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to ask you. Apparently everyone who speaks

105
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: on behalf of Vivek is getting paid? Are you getting

106
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: a check from vv Ramaswami, Tom, because I'm not. I

107
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: didn't realize that that was an option was out there

108
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: and available for people.

109
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: I have not gotten the time from vi Veke Ramaswami,

110
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: but I'm working my butt off for him, and I

111
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: think there's some good things we're gonna be able to

112
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: do together. So yeah, I thought my enborsement of him

113
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: was pretty clear. And if people go to Ohio citizenspack

114
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,119
Speaker 2: dot org, they can read it, and I think it'll

115
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 2: make a lot of sense to them out I'm trying

116
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: to say, this is the once in a lifetime chance,

117
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: The only chance we ever had to overcome the Columbus

118
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 2: cartel was to have someone like Trump who could self fund,

119
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: because then they can't own him. That's the vik Ramaswami

120
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 2: a man.

121
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: That is an excellent, excellent point. We'll continue with Tom Zawastoski,

122
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: who's next on the list, oh Marcel Sturbitch, as well

123
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: as Christina Rugner and others. More endorsements from We the

124
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: People Convention after these brief words. Starting with station seven

125
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: forty one, if you have KARCD talk station, We the

126
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: People Convention dot Org. Sohere we find Tom Zawastowski, and

127
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: we got a list of endorsements coming from Tom and

128
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: the crew Michael or Marcel Sturvich, who was on my

129
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: program last week. And I was thoroughly impressed by him,

130
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: not just his outstanding military record of twenty years, but

131
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: very very confident. He's got a good record. He's a

132
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: man of integrity. He certainly does not pull punches when

133
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: it comes to where he is on the positions. So

134
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: again impressed by him. But I know that you the

135
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: People Convention folks, his opponent, Robert Sprague, you endorsed him

136
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: in the past. Why not this time? Tom Zawastowski. What's

137
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: the difference?

138
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: Well, you know, first of all, I heard your interview

139
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: with Marcel, and I encourage your listeners to go back

140
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: to the archives and listen. That was one of the tightest,

141
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: you know, presentations by a candidate I may have ever

142
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 2: heard on the radio. That was an awesome job. And

143
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 2: uh and and and that's you know what people should

144
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: look at. The Central Committee should listen to that. So

145
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: here's the difference. Roberts Regg's a great guy. He's he's

146
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: he's a very you know he's not. He's he's a politician,

147
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: but he's he's also you know, a likable guy. He's efficient,

148
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: you know, he does his job, but he's not an

149
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: expert in election integrity. Marcel Sturbrige is. And I say

150
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: the opening line of my endorsement is Marcell Sturbritch was

151
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: the most it may be the most qualified person to

152
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: run for statewide political office that we've ever met. And

153
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: I think that's true if you think back yourself, Bright

154
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: to all the people you and I talked to and

155
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: endorsed and stuff. They're good people. They're competent, but they're

156
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: not experts at what they do. I mean, some of

157
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: the people are treasures maybe where Verre Calton's some of

158
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: the attorney generals were lawyers. But this guy is an

159
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: expert at at election law and that's why they should

160
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: pick him. And I tried to make the case for

161
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: the Central Committee to endorse him this Friday, but that's

162
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: probably unlikely because he's an outsider, just like the Vegas

163
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: and they're going to have our time with that. And

164
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: you showed that in your interview with them. You know

165
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: that being an outsider is a threat.

166
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: Well, I guess it is. But hey, they overcame that

167
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: challenge when it came to endorsing Vivi Ramaswamy. I think

168
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: it can be done again. So I don't even think

169
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: against Robert Sprague necessarily. But as you pointed out, it

170
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: is tough to match Marcel Sturwiche's game when it comes

171
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: to talking issues and his knowledge on important subject matter

172
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: over which he'd have a lot of control in that position,

173
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: pivoting over we the People Convention endorsement Christina Rogner for

174
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: Ohio State Treasurer. Let my listeners know about Christina.

175
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: Well, Christina is. She's actually from the Akron area. She

176
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 2: was in the House, she's a senator currently. She's a

177
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: real player in the Ohio right to life movement. She's

178
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,599
Speaker 2: been a very strong advocate for you know, right to

179
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: life issues. She's very well known statewide in religious circles.

180
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: But I point out in my endorsement that she actually

181
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 2: is really qualified because she has an MBA degree in

182
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 2: finance and she worked for the global management company Mackenzien Company,

183
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: and so she actually would be a good treasure because

184
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: she knows you know, accounting and stuff. Wow, what a concept.

185
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: But most of all, she is just a person of

186
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 2: unbelievable integrity. I mean, Christina Rougner is as rock solid

187
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: as anyone you talk about a non politician. She will,

188
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: she does not blow with the wind. She does not,

189
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: you know, compromise her values to get your vote. She

190
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: is who she is. What's astonishing to me, and I

191
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 2: think that you, Brian, is that Bernie Marino and JD.

192
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 2: Vance has have endorsed this Jay Edwards guy who the

193
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: Ohio Republican Party sanctioned what two years ago because he's

194
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: part of the Blue twenty two, who took Democrat Union

195
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: money to steal the House speakership from us. And here's JD.

196
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: Vance and Bernie Marino endorsing him against Christina Rogner. What

197
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: the hell? Okay, So, you know, I asked people to

198
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 2: look closely because Christina Roger is so much better than

199
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 2: Jay Edwards. And I just don't know because I'm friends

200
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: with Bernie Marino. You know, Bernie and I are pretty close.

201
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: I don't get it. But look at the list of

202
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: endorsements from Christina. I mean, it's Rob McCauley, the Center President,

203
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: it's Matt Husband, the House Speaker, it's you know, a

204
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: whole list of I think Frank L. Rose and others

205
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 2: have endorsed her, So I hope she's going to get

206
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: the endorsement and she's going to win that treasures.

207
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: Well, you just announced those endorsements for her from other

208
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: very noted notables in the Republican Party. Obviously maybe a

209
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: foil to Bernie Marina's endorsement. I'm not sure that came

210
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: from perhaps many many people just don't even remember who

211
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: the Blue twenty two are a short attention span theater

212
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 1: these days, Tom, that is certainly a possibility, and name

213
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: recognition me sort of trump the whole idea that while

214
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: the guy was a Blue twenty two, who knows, get

215
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,719
Speaker 1: your popcorn out, wait for it. They're going to be

216
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: voting on it Friday, seven forty six. We'll continue. You

217
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: got a few more including John Houston made the list,

218
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: Eric Marin and Carrie Carrie Coleman more.

Speaker 1: Seven fifty here if you about krocde Talks Station Brian

224
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: they got you got the endorsement or you gave the

225
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: endorsement to John Houston for US Senator. That really doesn't

226
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: come as much of a surprise to me.

227
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, what choice do we have. But I do,

228
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 2: you know, make some pretty strong statements that I think

229
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 2: you agree in my endorsement where I'm saying, listen, we've

230
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: had lots of problems with John Houston from the grassroots standpoint,

231
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: particularly during COVID, But as I said previously, we're voting

232
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 2: for what's in our best interest, and what's in our

233
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: best interests is for us to keep that Senate seat

234
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: at all costs. So regardless of what your problems are

235
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 2: with John Houston, you know, we sure as heck don't

236
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: want shared brown right back in the Senate. And so

237
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 2: it's real simple, folks. You got to vote for your

238
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 2: own best interests. We got to protect President Trump and

239
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: our MAGA agenda. That's why we endorse John Houston.

240
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: Don't throw out the good for the sake of the perfect, right.

241
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 2: Tom, that's right usially.

242
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: Especially when the good throwing out the good will result. Yes,

243
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: that's anyway. Derek Maren's got the endorsement as well from

244
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: WTPC US House in the ninth district.

245
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is a this is an interesting thing.

246
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: Lots of you know, dynamic of political insider stuff going

247
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: on there. The ninth district is the Marcy Kaptor district.

248
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 2: She's what, you know, been there for forty some years.

249
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: We should have won that seat two years ago we

250
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: lost by like three percent. Derek Maren was the candidate,

251
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 2: and so they read district. And this is the fact

252
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: you in the first and I want to hear your

253
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: comments about the guys in the first because you notice

254
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: I didn't endorse anybody yet. But when they redistrict did

255
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 2: they were supposed to redistrict the ninth, the thirteenth, which

256
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: is Akron area in Canton, and then the first, so

257
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: that we could win all three of those seats. Well

258
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: they didn't do that. I didn't do that. They really

259
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: redistricted the ninth up in Toledo to make it like

260
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 2: a plus and Republican district. And Rob McCauley was supposed

261
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 2: to run it before he took the lieutenant governor's position,

262
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 2: you know, with a veke to run for with the veke.

263
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: So then I'm like, okay, Derek Maron is leading in

264
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 2: the polls. He ran last time. He lost the close race.

265
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 2: It's a better district. Derek Marin's a guy. Oh no, no, no,

266
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 2: Shazam Bob. You know paducik Okay, who is a political

267
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: opera of the state who it's all about, you know,

268
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: making the money. He just brings this twenty eight year

269
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 2: old girl who's never run for political office ever before

270
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: and announces that she's going to be on the ballot

271
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 2: in the ninth district. And two days after that announcement

272
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: comes out and we don't know this person from Adam.

273
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 2: She's on Laura Trump's TV show on Saturday on Fox,

274
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: and I'm like, what the heck is going on? And

275
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, is Trump gonna endorse this this total political

276
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 2: unknown and take Derek wearing out? I hope that's not

277
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: going to happen. Trump hasn't endorsed that person yet. But

278
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: Derek Maren is leading Captor in the polls, he's leading

279
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: the primary field in the polls, and we think he's

280
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: the best candidate to beat Marcy Captor, so we've endorsed him.

281
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: But always political intrigue, because it's all about the money, Brian,

282
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: It's not about you know, what's best for our country

283
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 2: or our state.

284
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, isn't that the truth? Follow the money and you'll

285
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: find the answer usually in most cases. And finally, you've

286
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: endorse Carrie Coleman for the US House thirteenth District. Give

287
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: us an insight about mister Coleman.

288
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a one of your brethren. He's a he's

289
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: a radio guy at w NR n IR in Porge County,

290
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 2: but he's also he's a weather meteorologist. He's been on

291
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: the Weather Channel and he's been on some of the

292
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: Cleveland TV stations for quite a long career. And like

293
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: I said, we were supposed to redistrict the thirteenth so

294
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: that we could win it, and they didn't. They actually

295
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: gave the Sykes woman whose father has to be Vernon Sykes,

296
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: who happens to be the big power in the Democratic Party. Yeah.

297
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: As part of the deal the redistrict the Captor ninth district,

298
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: they gave the Democrats more seats in the thirteenth instead

299
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: of less. So we had a great candidate, Kevin Lachlan,

300
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 2: who ran last time, and he just dropped out. He said,

301
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 2: if you're going to do that to me, I'm not

302
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: going to do it. So Carrie Coleman, a local radio guy,

303
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: has stepped up and said he's going to run. It's

304
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: a dark horse situation, but he's a good guy. He's

305
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 2: a good candidate. He's going to work hard, and what's

306
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: going to determine that is really what Trump and Congress does.

307
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,400
