Speaker 3: South Pound seventy five continues to be a slow go between.
Speaker 2: Middletown and Monroe.
Speaker 3: Four car accident blocks the left two lanes above sixty three,
Speaker 3: then slow out of downtown to an accident in the
Speaker 3: cut in the hill. Left lane is blocked northbound seventy five.
Speaker 3: That's a slow go out of Earlbanger into downtown. Shot
Speaker 3: king ramon fifty five KR and see the talk station seven.
Speaker 1: Thirty or fifty five KRC detalk station, Happy Thursday. With
Speaker 1: regard to my conversation with Republican candidate from Aeroa the
Speaker 1: City since Saint Corey Bowman, I didn't ask him a
Speaker 1: question I'd written down to ask him.
Speaker 2: Which is he getting any support?
Speaker 1: Excuse me from They haven't kunty Republican Party, so I
Speaker 1: had Joe reach out to him. He said he is.
Speaker 1: They've been very supportive, no question, no answer yet as
Speaker 1: to whether they've given him any money yet. So fingers
Speaker 1: crossed that he does get support from the party. Without
Speaker 1: further ado, Welcome back to the morning show, Donovan and
Speaker 1: Neil for Americans for Prosperity. It's always a pleasure having
Speaker 1: you on the program. Donald Brian, good to be with you.
Speaker 1: Before we dive into this one small Step for Prosperity campaign.
Speaker 1: You're launching your reaction to the President's address the other day,
Speaker 1: I have to ask.
Speaker 2: I was fired up?
Speaker 4: I mean, we're talking about the important stuff, right, We're
Speaker 4: talking about getting making the tax cuts and jobs back, permanent,
Speaker 4: raining in the out of control bureaucracy, and securing our borders.
Speaker 4: This is the stuff our volunteers were out there knock
Speaker 4: indoors and support of Polsey champions on all last year year,
Speaker 4: and that the President set up firm agenda on what
Speaker 4: we need to get done to get this country back
Speaker 4: on track.
Speaker 2: It's great.
Speaker 1: You know, it seems to be sort of cross party
Speaker 1: red meat for everybody. I mean, keeps stop shouting out
Speaker 1: loud about you know, the the the Democrats right now
Speaker 1: sitting on their hands during that debate but having really
Speaker 1: nothing to say except just generalized opposition to what Trump
Speaker 1: and most notably Doge is doing, farting out fraud, wasted abuse,
Speaker 1: and that they could even support some of the crap
Speaker 1: that they have revealed to the American public that ain't
Speaker 1: it's not Democrat or Republican. That would be against the
Speaker 1: idea of setting millions and millions of dollars overseas to
Speaker 1: fund some sort of I don't know, fill in the
Speaker 1: blank campaign circumcisions and Mozambique. I mean, how do you
Speaker 1: defend that. I think we got them back on their heels, Donovan.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think they thought the whole ploy
Speaker 4: of you know, being disruptive at the beginning of the
Speaker 4: stay of the Union and then you know, holding up
Speaker 4: their signs we're gonna was gonna was going to work.
Speaker 4: But I think what you saw there right as I'll
Speaker 4: americans across the country tuned in and heard the president's
Speaker 4: speech and the agenda that he's laying out for Congress
Speaker 4: to tackle.
Speaker 1: You saw two sides.
Speaker 4: You saw one that's ready to go get things done
Speaker 4: for the American people, and you saw another that was
Speaker 4: sitting there angry, arms crossed, not for anything. And it's
Speaker 4: a reality the Democrat party right now. But we can't
Speaker 4: just sit on our hands and say, haday, they're mad,
Speaker 4: they're not doing anything.
Speaker 2: They're working overtime.
Speaker 4: And that's why we got to stay engaged and involved,
Speaker 4: because if we want to make these things happen, like
Speaker 4: tax cuts, border security, and reining in out of control spending,
Speaker 4: we got to stay active and stay in the fight.
Speaker 2: Yes, keep the ball rolling.
Speaker 1: It's a snowball that can grow as long as it
Speaker 1: goes downhill and gain speed.
Speaker 2: And then gaining speed is what we need.
Speaker 1: You can keep the traction and the emphasis and the
Speaker 1: effort going and tap into the enthusiasm we have that
Speaker 1: seems to be going on and again, crossing more party lines.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump got a lot of votes from the other
Speaker 1: side of the ledger. A lot of folks that numberally
Speaker 1: would have voted Democrat came over to Trump's side. That's
Speaker 1: why he won the popular vote. And it's these logical
Speaker 1: and re reasonable approaches and campaign promises that he's delivered
Speaker 1: on that are resonating with the American people. His polling
Speaker 1: numbers are good and people like what he's doing. And
Speaker 1: again that crosses party lines and a lot of what
Speaker 1: your new one Small Step campaign I think does just
Speaker 1: that it taps into these generally recognized positive vibe, appropriate
Speaker 1: and positive for the American people across all political lines,
Speaker 1: racist cultures, and creeds, and can advance those and get
Speaker 1: more accomplished through I would argue limited government my number
Speaker 1: one favorite thing. That's why I was a Tea Party fan.
Speaker 1: It's almost libertarian and its concept it got derailed a
Speaker 1: little bit back when it was popular. But fiscal responsibility,
Speaker 1: limited government, and free markets, you know, I mean that's
Speaker 1: what it's all about.
Speaker 4: Pretty pretty simple stuff, right, Pretty pretty simple stuff here. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So what you know, as we approach our nations two
Speaker 4: hundred and fiftieth birthday, there's you know, gonna be a
Speaker 4: nude hopefully a renewed spirit of patriotism in this country.
Speaker 4: I'm seeing it. I think it's out there, and what
Speaker 4: we want to be able to do is tap into
Speaker 4: that right. We want to tap into that American spirit
Speaker 4: at our two hundred fiftieth anniversary and encourage folks to
Speaker 4: take action and get involved by taking one small step.
Speaker 4: And it's like Kimberly from Trumbull County. She's way in
Speaker 4: northeast Ohio, but she started off just attending an AFP
Speaker 4: Ohio meeting about eight months ago. She knocks the doors
Speaker 4: with AFP action and support of Bernie Moreno. She joined
Speaker 4: us in Columbus as an attendee sitting in the committee
Speaker 4: room to oppose bad energy policy back in December, and
Speaker 4: then just this week Brian Tuesday, she drove three and
Speaker 4: a half hours to Columbus, sat four and a half
Speaker 4: hours in a packed committee hearing room to testify and
Speaker 4: support a school choice. Kimberly took one small step eight
Speaker 4: months ago that's led her to standing in front of
Speaker 4: her elected officials demanding that they empower.
Speaker 2: Families with school choice.
Speaker 4: It's those small steps that add up and make big
Speaker 4: differences here in not just the state of Ohio, but
Speaker 4: the country.
Speaker 1: Large, every little bit counts. Let's pause will bring Donald
Speaker 1: O'Neil back to talk about some of the things that
Speaker 1: my listening audience can do. It's not that difficult to
Speaker 1: take one of these small steps, and the more people
Speaker 1: that take one of these small steps, the more likely
Speaker 1: it is we can achieve our desired outcome fiscal responsibility,
Speaker 1: limited government, and free markets. Let's pause will bring it
Speaker 1: back just a moment. I want to mention Zimmer Heating
Speaker 1: and air Conditioning Proud they are at Zimmer, a family
Speaker 1: ow an operator for more than seventy five years. Chris
Speaker 1: Zimmer is the man you be dealing with a Zimmer
Speaker 1: Heating and air condition Now he won't be working on
Speaker 1: your furnace himself, but they've got an outstanding crew and
Speaker 1: they can service a whole huge line of different manufacturers
Speaker 1: if you need a new one. Though, they're specialist in
Speaker 1: Carrier and they make a fantastic system, so HVAC from
Speaker 1: Carrier is the way to go. And Zimmer, of course,
Speaker 1: the folks that have them take care of you. They
Speaker 1: also have maintenance programs you get on that you'll extend
Speaker 1: the life of your heating and air conditioning system. Lord

Speaker 3: the left lanes blocked off with a multiple vehicle accident,
Speaker 3: backing traffic to Middletown, then slow through Lachland, and slow
Speaker 3: out of downtown to a wreck that blocks the left
Speaker 3: lane in the cut. Northbound seventy five's an extra fifteen
Speaker 3: minutes out of Lawrence. Chuck Ingram on fifty five KOs
Speaker 3: the talk station.
Speaker 1: Seven forty fifty five KRCD talk station, Very happy Thursday
Speaker 1: to you talk without Donovan and Neil for Americans for prosperity.
Speaker 1: Every little bit counts. When you have a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of people doing just a little bit, it really does
Speaker 1: make a profound difference. So you don't have to spend
Speaker 1: hours and hours every single day to make a difference.
Speaker 1: Just do something small, like the woman from northwest Ohio
Speaker 1: that you mentioned advocating for school choice, which I embrace thoroughly.
Speaker 1: All right, Donovan, what do we need to do? What
Speaker 1: can we do? What are these small steps that we
Speaker 1: can take in this one small step campaign.
Speaker 4: Well, the first thing we need folks to do is
Speaker 4: go to AFP volunteer dot com. AFP volunteer dot com.
Speaker 4: Uh was where you can sign up and there's a
Speaker 4: number of different small steps folks can take by going there.
Speaker 4: It's doing things like, uh, just coming out to a
Speaker 4: community event that we're holding, reaching out via social media
Speaker 4: to your elected official and reminding them to make the
Speaker 4: Trump tax cuts permanent, uh to more you know more
Speaker 4: things that might be outside your comfort zone, like going
Speaker 4: out and knocking some doors with us on a day
Speaker 4: of action, or even coming up to the state House.
Speaker 4: What we need folks to do, Brian right, is get
Speaker 4: get in the fight, get involved. Right.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe last election was the first time you voted. Right,
Speaker 4: you're a newly registered voter and you got out and
Speaker 4: you voted for folks like Bernie Moreno, Uh, don't let it.
Speaker 4: Don't let your activism into there. Come out and join us,
Speaker 4: get involved, because it's what it's going to take to
Speaker 4: defend this country and keep prosperity, freedom, individual liberty at
Speaker 4: the forefront of your neighbor's community and elected officials' minds.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe you confirm what I have been told that.
Speaker 1: You know, I think people think it's an exercise and
Speaker 1: utility to reach out to their elected official, like you know,
Speaker 1: call your congressmen or email your congressman. My understanding is
Speaker 1: most people don't do that because they think it is
Speaker 1: a waste of time. But that when congress people actually
Speaker 1: get say fifteen twenty thirty calls or emails on any
Speaker 1: given subject and it's all leaning one direction, that's a
Speaker 1: huge volume for them.
Speaker 2: Often.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for someone at the State House who represents you
Speaker 4: in Columbus, the state representative, if they get twenty twenty
Speaker 4: five emails or calls about a issue into their constituent inbox,
Speaker 4: that gets flagged. In fact, I know a number of
Speaker 4: elected officials who talk to who at the end of
Speaker 4: the day or end of a week's sort, whatever their
Speaker 4: reporting cadence is, they'll have their aid let them know
Speaker 4: what bills constituents called about, and that helps influence draw
Speaker 4: their attention to where they can sit with their constituents
Speaker 4: are concerned about. There's not a lot of folks who
Speaker 4: make those calls. It's not often that folks in Columbus
Speaker 4: get that kind of outreach.
Speaker 1: And so when they do.
Speaker 4: Or they see a spike of ten, fifteen, twenty people
Speaker 4: calling and saying, hey, I want to talk to you
Speaker 4: about House Bill fifteen and I want you to support it,
Speaker 4: they pay attention to that because it's unique, right Brian.
Speaker 4: Not too many people are calling or wondering what they're
Speaker 4: doing up there, but when they get those calls, they listen,
Speaker 4: they pay attention.
Speaker 1: It makes an impact, Yeah, it does. And that's one
Speaker 1: of those tiny steps you can make. It doesn't take
Speaker 1: that much time to reach out to your elected official
Speaker 1: here in the state to do something exactly like that,
Speaker 1: and know you're not going to get into a conversation
Speaker 1: with your elected official in Columbus. You're just going to
Speaker 1: convey the message and a staffer will pass it along.
Speaker 1: So it's not like you have to be prepared to
Speaker 1: engage in a debate, right, Well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. And you know by going to ASP
Speaker 4: Volunteer dot com you can and you'll get action alerts,
Speaker 4: so we'll keep you up to date on all the
Speaker 4: things that are going on in Columbus and you know,
Speaker 4: if it's something you care about. For instance, we had
Speaker 4: Amy who back in February just a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 4: signed did just that. She signed a few petitions and
Speaker 4: we reached out and we got her involved and said, hey,
Speaker 4: thanks for taking action with us. What would you like
Speaker 4: to do And she said, I'm just going to take
Speaker 4: digital actions. I want to you know, I just want
Speaker 4: to send a note and let my representative, Monica rob Blaze,
Speaker 4: they'll know what I care about. Well, guess what, Brian
Speaker 4: ret Blaze. They'll called Amy and said, hey, thank you
Speaker 4: for reaching out and supporting energy abundance here in the state.
Speaker 4: I want to understand your perspectives. I can take your
Speaker 4: story to the state House and the committees and legislate,
Speaker 4: you know, onto the floor of the conversations I'm having
Speaker 4: until one small step. Amy took that small step, took
Speaker 4: some digital actions. Doesn't want to do more than that
Speaker 4: right now, but it led to her representative reaching out
Speaker 4: and asking for her thoughts and appreciating her for being
Speaker 4: involved in the process.
Speaker 1: And I bet that blew her mind. When that happened.
Speaker 1: Someone to get a statement elected official calling ye I
Speaker 1: know someone actually cares. Oh my god, I'm actually being represented.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Will you make it so easy? AFP volunteer
Speaker 1: dot org, get on the mailing list or the email list,
Speaker 1: so you know when these these action plans pop up,
Speaker 1: when the legislation comes up. Americans for Prosperity is great
Speaker 1: about staying right on top of all the important things
Speaker 1: in my listening audience cares about here in the state
Speaker 1: of Ohio. Donovan, I understand you were at the farm
Speaker 1: last week with George Brenneman from Restore Liberty dot Us.
Speaker 4: I was Brent, they've got something real special there, I
Speaker 4: said to the crowded about seventy five folks out getting involved.
Speaker 4: These are patriots who were in the white George is phenomenal.
Speaker 4: His wife talked about the impact if we don't make
Speaker 4: the tax cuts permanent. She's a tax preparer, so it
Speaker 4: was really insightful.
Speaker 2: Great that. I mean, if we had groups.
Speaker 4: Like what George has to Restore Liberty dot Us and
Speaker 4: every one of the eighty eight counties in this state,
Speaker 4: we'd be number one in all measures of economic freedom, education, freedom,
Speaker 4: you name it.
Speaker 2: We would be doing it.
Speaker 4: So George is doing God's work and it's a phenomenal.
Speaker 1: Group they've got there, Yes it is, and he is
Speaker 1: a terrific guy. Without question. So restore Liberty dot us.
Speaker 1: You can put that on your bookmart list as well,
Speaker 1: along with AFP Volunteer dot org. Donovan and Neil for
Speaker 1: Americans for Prosperity to keep up the great work and
Speaker 1: thanks for making it so easy for people to to
Speaker 1: take these small steps, and you know, put together a
Speaker 1: coalition and let our representatives and officials know exactly which
Speaker 1: direction we want to stay toll how to go absolutely well.
Speaker 4: Thanks for sharing your megaphone with me here today.
