00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Thirty or fifty five KRC detalk station, Happy Thursday. With

23
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:04.359
<v Speaker 1>regard to my conversation with Republican candidate from Aeroa the

24
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>City since Saint Corey Bowman, I didn't ask him a

25
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>question I'd written down to ask him.

26
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:09.519
<v Speaker 2>Which is he getting any support?

27
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me from They haven't kunty Republican Party, so I

28
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:15.079
<v Speaker 1>had Joe reach out to him. He said he is.

29
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>They've been very supportive, no question, no answer yet as

30
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>to whether they've given him any money yet. So fingers

31
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>crossed that he does get support from the party. Without

32
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:25.879
<v Speaker 1>further ado, Welcome back to the morning show, Donovan and

33
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Neil for Americans for Prosperity. It's always a pleasure having

34
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you on the program. Donald Brian, good to be with you.

35
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Before we dive into this one small Step for Prosperity campaign.

36
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 1>You're launching your reaction to the President's address the other day,

37
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:41.280
<v Speaker 1>I have to ask.

38
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>I was fired up?

39
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:45.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean, we're talking about the important stuff, right, We're

40
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:49.519
<v Speaker 4>talking about getting making the tax cuts and jobs back, permanent,

41
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:53.200
<v Speaker 4>raining in the out of control bureaucracy, and securing our borders.

42
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 4>This is the stuff our volunteers were out there knock

43
00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:00.280
<v Speaker 4>indoors and support of Polsey champions on all last year year,

44
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:03.040
<v Speaker 4>and that the President set up firm agenda on what

45
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 4>we need to get done to get this country back

46
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 4>on track.

47
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:05.680
<v Speaker 2>It's great.

48
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 1>You know, it seems to be sort of cross party

49
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>red meat for everybody. I mean, keeps stop shouting out

50
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>loud about you know, the the the Democrats right now

51
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>sitting on their hands during that debate but having really

52
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>nothing to say except just generalized opposition to what Trump

53
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and most notably Doge is doing, farting out fraud, wasted abuse,

54
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:28.960
<v Speaker 1>and that they could even support some of the crap

55
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.479
<v Speaker 1>that they have revealed to the American public that ain't

56
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>it's not Democrat or Republican. That would be against the

57
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>idea of setting millions and millions of dollars overseas to

58
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.719
<v Speaker 1>fund some sort of I don't know, fill in the

59
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 1>blank campaign circumcisions and Mozambique. I mean, how do you

60
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 1>defend that. I think we got them back on their heels, Donovan.

61
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean I think they thought the whole ploy

62
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.159
<v Speaker 4>of you know, being disruptive at the beginning of the

63
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.360
<v Speaker 4>stay of the Union and then you know, holding up

64
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.400
<v Speaker 4>their signs we're gonna was gonna was going to work.

65
00:02:58.439 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 4>But I think what you saw there right as I'll

66
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:03.560
<v Speaker 4>americans across the country tuned in and heard the president's

67
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 4>speech and the agenda that he's laying out for Congress

68
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:06.599
<v Speaker 4>to tackle.

69
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>You saw two sides.

70
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 4>You saw one that's ready to go get things done

71
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:12.479
<v Speaker 4>for the American people, and you saw another that was

72
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:17.840
<v Speaker 4>sitting there angry, arms crossed, not for anything. And it's

73
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 4>a reality the Democrat party right now. But we can't

74
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 4>just sit on our hands and say, haday, they're mad,

75
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:24.080
<v Speaker 4>they're not doing anything.

76
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:25.439
<v Speaker 2>They're working overtime.

77
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.280
<v Speaker 4>And that's why we got to stay engaged and involved,

78
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.199
<v Speaker 4>because if we want to make these things happen, like

79
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 4>tax cuts, border security, and reining in out of control spending,

80
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:34.879
<v Speaker 4>we got to stay active and stay in the fight.

81
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes, keep the ball rolling.

82
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 1>It's a snowball that can grow as long as it

83
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>goes downhill and gain speed.

84
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:40.800
<v Speaker 2>And then gaining speed is what we need.

85
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>You can keep the traction and the emphasis and the

86
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>effort going and tap into the enthusiasm we have that

87
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 1>seems to be going on and again, crossing more party lines.

88
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump got a lot of votes from the other

89
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>side of the ledger. A lot of folks that numberally

90
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>would have voted Democrat came over to Trump's side. That's

91
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.479
<v Speaker 1>why he won the popular vote. And it's these logical

92
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>and re reasonable approaches and campaign promises that he's delivered

93
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:08.159
<v Speaker 1>on that are resonating with the American people. His polling

94
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.479
<v Speaker 1>numbers are good and people like what he's doing. And

95
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>again that crosses party lines and a lot of what

96
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:17.399
<v Speaker 1>your new one Small Step campaign I think does just

97
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:23.079
<v Speaker 1>that it taps into these generally recognized positive vibe, appropriate

98
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.319
<v Speaker 1>and positive for the American people across all political lines,

99
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>racist cultures, and creeds, and can advance those and get

100
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 1>more accomplished through I would argue limited government my number

101
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>one favorite thing. That's why I was a Tea Party fan.

102
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>It's almost libertarian and its concept it got derailed a

103
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>little bit back when it was popular. But fiscal responsibility,

104
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.079
<v Speaker 1>limited government, and free markets, you know, I mean that's

105
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:47.920
<v Speaker 1>what it's all about.

106
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 4>Pretty pretty simple stuff, right, Pretty pretty simple stuff here. Yeah.

107
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.199
<v Speaker 4>So what you know, as we approach our nations two

108
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.759
<v Speaker 4>hundred and fiftieth birthday, there's you know, gonna be a

109
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.079
<v Speaker 4>nude hopefully a renewed spirit of patriotism in this country.

110
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm seeing it. I think it's out there, and what

111
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:08.439
<v Speaker 4>we want to be able to do is tap into

112
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 4>that right. We want to tap into that American spirit

113
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.079
<v Speaker 4>at our two hundred fiftieth anniversary and encourage folks to

114
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:17.160
<v Speaker 4>take action and get involved by taking one small step.

115
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 4>And it's like Kimberly from Trumbull County. She's way in

116
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:26.399
<v Speaker 4>northeast Ohio, but she started off just attending an AFP

117
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.639
<v Speaker 4>Ohio meeting about eight months ago. She knocks the doors

118
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.920
<v Speaker 4>with AFP action and support of Bernie Moreno. She joined

119
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:36.279
<v Speaker 4>us in Columbus as an attendee sitting in the committee

120
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.560
<v Speaker 4>room to oppose bad energy policy back in December, and

121
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 4>then just this week Brian Tuesday, she drove three and

122
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 4>a half hours to Columbus, sat four and a half

123
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.560
<v Speaker 4>hours in a packed committee hearing room to testify and

124
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 4>support a school choice. Kimberly took one small step eight

125
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.240
<v Speaker 4>months ago that's led her to standing in front of

126
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.560
<v Speaker 4>her elected officials demanding that they empower.

127
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:58.399
<v Speaker 2>Families with school choice.

128
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 4>It's those small steps that add up and make big

129
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.680
<v Speaker 4>differences here in not just the state of Ohio, but

130
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:05.920
<v Speaker 4>the country.

131
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Large, every little bit counts. Let's pause will bring Donald

132
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:10.560
<v Speaker 1>O'Neil back to talk about some of the things that

133
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.480
<v Speaker 1>my listening audience can do. It's not that difficult to

134
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:15.639
<v Speaker 1>take one of these small steps, and the more people

135
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.000
<v Speaker 1>that take one of these small steps, the more likely

136
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.160
<v Speaker 1>it is we can achieve our desired outcome fiscal responsibility,

137
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.360
<v Speaker 1>limited government, and free markets. Let's pause will bring it

138
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:25.360
<v Speaker 1>back just a moment. I want to mention Zimmer Heating

139
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.319
<v Speaker 1>and air Conditioning Proud they are at Zimmer, a family

140
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.399
<v Speaker 1>ow an operator for more than seventy five years. Chris

141
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Zimmer is the man you be dealing with a Zimmer

142
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:33.879
<v Speaker 1>Heating and air condition Now he won't be working on

143
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:37.920
<v Speaker 1>your furnace himself, but they've got an outstanding crew and

144
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:41.879
<v Speaker 1>they can service a whole huge line of different manufacturers

145
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:43.920
<v Speaker 1>if you need a new one. Though, they're specialist in

146
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Carrier and they make a fantastic system, so HVAC from

147
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Carrier is the way to go. And Zimmer, of course,

148
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the folks that have them take care of you. They

149
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 1>also have maintenance programs you get on that you'll extend

150
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:55.839
<v Speaker 1>the life of your heating and air conditioning system. Lord

151
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:57.360
<v Speaker 1>knows nobody wants to have to go down the road

152
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:01.399
<v Speaker 1>to replace it sometimes though you know the maintenance programs

153

185
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.399
<v Speaker 1>Every little bit counts. When you have a whole bunch

186
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.039
<v Speaker 1>of people doing just a little bit, it really does

187
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:44.159
<v Speaker 1>make a profound difference. So you don't have to spend

188
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:47.759
<v Speaker 1>hours and hours every single day to make a difference.

189
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:50.759
<v Speaker 1>Just do something small, like the woman from northwest Ohio

190
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:55.080
<v Speaker 1>that you mentioned advocating for school choice, which I embrace thoroughly.

191
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, Donovan, what do we need to do? What

192
00:08:58.039 --> 00:08:59.879
<v Speaker 1>can we do? What are these small steps that we

193
00:08:59.919 --> 00:09:02.240
<v Speaker 1>can take in this one small step campaign.

194
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, the first thing we need folks to do is

195
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.720
<v Speaker 4>go to AFP volunteer dot com. AFP volunteer dot com.

196
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.039
<v Speaker 4>Uh was where you can sign up and there's a

197
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:16.720
<v Speaker 4>number of different small steps folks can take by going there.

198
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.279
<v Speaker 4>It's doing things like, uh, just coming out to a

199
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.320
<v Speaker 4>community event that we're holding, reaching out via social media

200
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:27.399
<v Speaker 4>to your elected official and reminding them to make the

201
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:31.759
<v Speaker 4>Trump tax cuts permanent, uh to more you know more

202
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:33.679
<v Speaker 4>things that might be outside your comfort zone, like going

203
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:35.279
<v Speaker 4>out and knocking some doors with us on a day

204
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.399
<v Speaker 4>of action, or even coming up to the state House.

205
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:40.279
<v Speaker 4>What we need folks to do, Brian right, is get

206
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:42.480
<v Speaker 4>get in the fight, get involved. Right.

207
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:43.399
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

208
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.519
<v Speaker 4>Maybe maybe last election was the first time you voted. Right,

209
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:48.840
<v Speaker 4>you're a newly registered voter and you got out and

210
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:53.039
<v Speaker 4>you voted for folks like Bernie Moreno, Uh, don't let it.

211
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.759
<v Speaker 4>Don't let your activism into there. Come out and join us,

212
00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.279
<v Speaker 4>get involved, because it's what it's going to take to

213
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.440
<v Speaker 4>defend this country and keep prosperity, freedom, individual liberty at

214
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:08.200
<v Speaker 4>the forefront of your neighbor's community and elected officials' minds.

215
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, maybe you confirm what I have been told that.

216
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:14.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think people think it's an exercise and

217
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:17.559
<v Speaker 1>utility to reach out to their elected official, like you know,

218
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:21.600
<v Speaker 1>call your congressmen or email your congressman. My understanding is

219
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:23.960
<v Speaker 1>most people don't do that because they think it is

220
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:27.879
<v Speaker 1>a waste of time. But that when congress people actually

221
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:32.080
<v Speaker 1>get say fifteen twenty thirty calls or emails on any

222
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:35.000
<v Speaker 1>given subject and it's all leaning one direction, that's a

223
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:36.240
<v Speaker 1>huge volume for them.

224
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:36.679
<v Speaker 2>Often.

225
00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:40.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, for someone at the State House who represents you

226
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:44.200
<v Speaker 4>in Columbus, the state representative, if they get twenty twenty

227
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:48.799
<v Speaker 4>five emails or calls about a issue into their constituent inbox,

228
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:51.399
<v Speaker 4>that gets flagged. In fact, I know a number of

229
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:54.360
<v Speaker 4>elected officials who talk to who at the end of

230
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:56.120
<v Speaker 4>the day or end of a week's sort, whatever their

231
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:59.120
<v Speaker 4>reporting cadence is, they'll have their aid let them know

232
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:04.879
<v Speaker 4>what bills constituents called about, and that helps influence draw

233
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:07.519
<v Speaker 4>their attention to where they can sit with their constituents

234
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:09.799
<v Speaker 4>are concerned about. There's not a lot of folks who

235
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.840
<v Speaker 4>make those calls. It's not often that folks in Columbus

236
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:15.200
<v Speaker 4>get that kind of outreach.

237
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:16.360
<v Speaker 1>And so when they do.

238
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:19.360
<v Speaker 4>Or they see a spike of ten, fifteen, twenty people

239
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:21.000
<v Speaker 4>calling and saying, hey, I want to talk to you

240
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:24.000
<v Speaker 4>about House Bill fifteen and I want you to support it,

241
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.799
<v Speaker 4>they pay attention to that because it's unique, right Brian.

242
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:28.799
<v Speaker 4>Not too many people are calling or wondering what they're

243
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.320
<v Speaker 4>doing up there, but when they get those calls, they listen,

244
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:32.039
<v Speaker 4>they pay attention.

245
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:34.600
<v Speaker 1>It makes an impact, Yeah, it does. And that's one

246
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:36.799
<v Speaker 1>of those tiny steps you can make. It doesn't take

247
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:40.000
<v Speaker 1>that much time to reach out to your elected official

248
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:42.840
<v Speaker 1>here in the state to do something exactly like that,

249
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:45.039
<v Speaker 1>and know you're not going to get into a conversation

250
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:47.639
<v Speaker 1>with your elected official in Columbus. You're just going to

251
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.759
<v Speaker 1>convey the message and a staffer will pass it along.

252
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:52.639
<v Speaker 1>So it's not like you have to be prepared to

253
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:55.960
<v Speaker 1>engage in a debate, right, Well.

254
00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:58.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's right. And you know by going to ASP

255
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.559
<v Speaker 4>Volunteer dot com you can and you'll get action alerts,

256
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:03.639
<v Speaker 4>so we'll keep you up to date on all the

257
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.519
<v Speaker 4>things that are going on in Columbus and you know,

258
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.200
<v Speaker 4>if it's something you care about. For instance, we had

259
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:11.720
<v Speaker 4>Amy who back in February just a couple of weeks ago,

260
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:14.799
<v Speaker 4>signed did just that. She signed a few petitions and

261
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.720
<v Speaker 4>we reached out and we got her involved and said, hey,

262
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:19.679
<v Speaker 4>thanks for taking action with us. What would you like

263
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:21.919
<v Speaker 4>to do And she said, I'm just going to take

264
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.159
<v Speaker 4>digital actions. I want to you know, I just want

265
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:27.240
<v Speaker 4>to send a note and let my representative, Monica rob Blaze,

266
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:30.320
<v Speaker 4>they'll know what I care about. Well, guess what, Brian

267
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.960
<v Speaker 4>ret Blaze. They'll called Amy and said, hey, thank you

268
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:36.759
<v Speaker 4>for reaching out and supporting energy abundance here in the state.

269
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.120
<v Speaker 4>I want to understand your perspectives. I can take your

270
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:42.600
<v Speaker 4>story to the state House and the committees and legislate,

271
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:45.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, onto the floor of the conversations I'm having

272
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:48.519
<v Speaker 4>until one small step. Amy took that small step, took

273
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.440
<v Speaker 4>some digital actions. Doesn't want to do more than that

274
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:53.240
<v Speaker 4>right now, but it led to her representative reaching out

275
00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:56.120
<v Speaker 4>and asking for her thoughts and appreciating her for being

276
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:57.039
<v Speaker 4>involved in the process.

277
00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.320
<v Speaker 1>And I bet that blew her mind. When that happened.

278
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:04.039
<v Speaker 1>Someone to get a statement elected official calling ye I

279
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:08.799
<v Speaker 1>know someone actually cares. Oh my god, I'm actually being represented.

280
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.799
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing. Will you make it so easy? AFP volunteer

287

<v Speaker 1>last week with George Brenneman from Restore Liberty dot Us.

288
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.000
<v Speaker 4>I was Brent, they've got something real special there, I

289
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:41.080
<v Speaker 4>said to the crowded about seventy five folks out getting involved.

290
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.000
<v Speaker 4>These are patriots who were in the white George is phenomenal.

291
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:46.759
<v Speaker 4>His wife talked about the impact if we don't make

292
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:49.399
<v Speaker 4>the tax cuts permanent. She's a tax preparer, so it

293
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:50.440
<v Speaker 4>was really insightful.

294
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Great that. I mean, if we had groups.

295
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:55.879
<v Speaker 4>Like what George has to Restore Liberty dot Us and

296
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:57.759
<v Speaker 4>every one of the eighty eight counties in this state,

297
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:02.679
<v Speaker 4>we'd be number one in all measures of economic freedom, education, freedom,

298
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:03.519
