Speaker 1: And if at five KRCD Talk station. Happy Wednesday, Americans
Speaker 1: for Prosperity doing great things here in the state of Behind,
Speaker 1: across this great land of ours. And one of the
Speaker 1: men we always talk to for Americans for Prosperity, Welcome back,
Speaker 1: Donovan O'Neil. It's always a pleasure to have you on
Speaker 1: the program, my friend.
Speaker 2: Brian, great to be here with you this morning.
Speaker 1: So we got something to talk about. You've got an
Speaker 1: event for Bernie Marino. What's this one all about?
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, so you know, we can only go so long,
Speaker 2: Brian without getting out there and waiving some signs and
Speaker 2: doing a little rally in. And so we've got that
Speaker 2: inch just hit us, and we're going to be out
Speaker 2: there at the Cincinnati office today at noon, not protesting him,
Speaker 2: not telling him what he's doing wrong, but encouraging to
Speaker 2: stay the course and protect prosperity by making the Trump
Speaker 2: tax cuts permanent. So we're excited to get out there
Speaker 2: while the video truck while a number of folks joining
Speaker 2: us across southwest Ohio. It should be a good time
Speaker 2: and again a good opportunity to highlight the importance of
Speaker 2: following through the promises these folks made last year when
Speaker 2: they were camping to earn our votes.
Speaker 1: Well, and it's a good time to be pushing this issue.
Speaker 1: First off, coming off the heels of my conversation with
Speaker 1: Jack adan At about envy, you know, one of the
Speaker 1: reasons they justify excessive taxation is because, well, you just
Speaker 1: make too much money. We're going to take a chunk
Speaker 1: of it because we know how to better spend it
Speaker 1: than you do. But to that latter point, they can't
Speaker 1: say that anymore because Doge, it's been brought to all
Speaker 1: of our collective attention. Republican Democrat, everybody in between, anybody
Speaker 1: who actually pays into the system realizes they don't mind
Speaker 1: the store. They are abusing the taxpayers and our labor,
Speaker 1: which is converted into money which is then taxed. You know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I've got down that road. Every time you
Speaker 1: worked for it, you got up out of bed on
Speaker 1: days you didn't even want to get up, and they
Speaker 1: took a sizeable chunk of it. And what do we
Speaker 1: find out it's been done with it, It's been sent
Speaker 1: all over the world. They're not paying attention to the books.
Speaker 1: They're letting people with dead people obviously dead people remain
Speaker 1: as active on the Social Security ranks, which even if
Speaker 1: they're not getting checks, is still something. It's a vehicle
Speaker 1: for fraud, and they're pointing out there is a truckload
Speaker 1: of fraud. Does anybody in government do anything about it?
Speaker 1: Apparently not, not until evil eat billionaire Elon mush shows
Speaker 1: up and for free starts ferreting it all out, using
Speaker 1: his wit, his intellect, and his artificial intelligence to go
Speaker 1: through the books. Yes, keep the Trump tax cuts in place.
Speaker 1: Let us have the freedom to spend the money. You
Speaker 1: got me on a Tarr Donovan, We're.
Speaker 2: Gonna put the megaphone in your hands at noon today
Speaker 2: down there at Bernie's office, because that's the kind of
Speaker 2: stuff we're talking about. Brian, You're right, we should, we
Speaker 2: should have a little outrage, especially as our friends in
Speaker 2: the progressive left are going on their amnesia tour, folks
Speaker 2: like Tim Walls and AOC and others are running around
Speaker 2: the country trying to stir up descent here where the
Speaker 2: reality is, we're getting what we voted for. We wanted
Speaker 2: efficiency in our government. Our if our federal government was
Speaker 2: a private corporation or a publicly traded corporation, right where
Speaker 2: where you had investors taking a look and hoping for returns.
Speaker 2: I think you'd be jumping ship left and right as
Speaker 2: you begin to see and understand what some of the
Speaker 2: Trump administration and Elon Musk through the dose you're doing.
Speaker 1: Right, So the board of directors, if it was a
Speaker 1: private company, would be sued for for breach of fiduciary
Speaker 1: obligations to their shareholders.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and so you know, I think it's good and
Speaker 2: I from the conversations I have what I see traveling
Speaker 2: around the state talking to groups, and I don't just
Speaker 2: live in an echo chamber, Brian. Right, We're out there
Speaker 2: talking to folks at the doors in communities, at events,
Speaker 2: coffee shops, gas stations, grocery stores. They're happy about the
Speaker 2: things that are happening here because they want efficiency in government.
Speaker 2: Nobody likes seeing their money leave their paycheck and go
Speaker 2: into a black hole in Washington, d C. Where bureaucrats
Speaker 2: spend it. Uh Like they're they're they're starting to bonfire.
Speaker 2: This is good stuff and we got to be out
Speaker 2: there now here's important too. We got to be out
Speaker 2: there with folk, not just when we're upset about something,
Speaker 2: but to but to be out there when good things
Speaker 2: are happening. And in this case, what Bernie Moreno is
Speaker 2: doing in his time as a senator, uh, the work
Speaker 2: he's doing to advocate to protect trust already. That's why
Speaker 2: we're going to be out there today is to make
Speaker 2: sure he knows their folks here in the state will
Speaker 2: appreciate him and the work he's doing well.
Speaker 1: And as a successful businessman himself, he gets all this.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I mean, he has spin
Speaker 1: out there. He has knows what the regulatory burdens are like,
Speaker 1: he knows what the tax burdens are like. He knows
Speaker 1: where the interference in how to run a successful business
Speaker 1: comes from. And it's not because they have incompetent people
Speaker 1: working for you. It's because the government comes in, incompetent
Speaker 1: as they may be, and tries to tell you how
Speaker 1: your life should be run. And it always ends up
Speaker 1: in some sort of epic failure at least a massive
Speaker 1: roadblock to success and prosperity.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, who better than somebody who's created jobs for
Speaker 2: folks right, created payrolls, pay taxes himself, corporate and individual,
Speaker 2: and wants to get a good returnal and investment every
Speaker 2: American wants that, right. We want the tax dollars we
Speaker 2: pay to go towards good programs that are efficiently run
Speaker 2: that they'll get the results that were promised out of them.
Speaker 2: And that's all we're asking for here, but also making
Speaker 2: sure that government isn't taken more than it needs. And
Speaker 2: that's why it's important to make these Trump tax cuts
Speaker 2: permanent and get that job done here over the next
Speaker 2: few weeks as they work through the reconciliation process.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I know you've got the paulse Bernie
Speaker 1: Marino and you know Bernie Marine is a solid on
Speaker 1: keeping the trap of the Trump tax cuts in place.
Speaker 1: Are you concerned about, you know, reconciliation and that there
Speaker 1: are individuals in the Republican Party who are going to
Speaker 1: end but tanking this by keeping their own pet projects
Speaker 1: in or otherwise continuing the over excessive spending in federal
Speaker 1: government alive.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and that's why you know, across the country,
Speaker 2: you made this twenty million dollar investment as an organization,
Speaker 2: so this isn't just an Ohio project. This is happening
Speaker 2: in all fifty states. As you know. AFP's a nationwide
Speaker 2: crossroots organization. Yeah, because you know, you've got what is it,
Speaker 2: five hundred and thirty five different individuals representing five hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty five different constituencies across the country, and we
Speaker 2: need to make sure that those folks Congress, m Senate
Speaker 2: right together, stay the course and stay on track. And
Speaker 2: so it's a it's a tenuous situation right in Washington.
Speaker 2: Nothing ever works out the way you plan it or
Speaker 2: hope it too. But with the leadership, you know, Speaker
Speaker 2: Mike Johnson, I think that's the most challenging chamber. We're
Speaker 2: seeing them slowly but surely navigate this process. And we
Speaker 2: know Senates and lockstep we're going to get the job done.
Speaker 2: So but we got to keep that noise level up
Speaker 2: and we got to keep folks in Congress, the folks
Speaker 2: we elected, mission focused and on target. And that's a
Speaker 2: lot of what our Protecting Prosperity campaign is all about.
Speaker 1: All right, And AFP if you and I'm sure AFP
Speaker 1: knows who I'm talking about, you know, can name names,
Speaker 1: They know who the concerns are within the conservative side
Speaker 1: of the Ledger And you can scream all day long
Speaker 1: outside of Democrats office and probably not going to listen
Speaker 1: to a word, you say. But on the Republican side,
Speaker 1: there are those big government Republicans, the so called rhino
Speaker 1: is out there. Do you speak truth to power to
Speaker 1: those elected officials outside their offices and call them out
Speaker 1: on how they might end up tanking this potentially wonderful
Speaker 1: process of getting budget budget reconciliation through.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're still in the nice guy faith, Brian. Right,
Speaker 2: so you hope to win more folks over with honey
Speaker 2: than vinegar, right, Yes, a lot of Hey, remember remember
Speaker 2: what we were all campaigning on last year. Remember what
Speaker 2: you were here in at town halls and events with
Speaker 2: us last year. Let's make sure we follow through all
Speaker 2: those promises. Right, So we're still in that win them
Speaker 2: over with honey, try to you know, try to remind
Speaker 2: them of the of.
Speaker 1: What the promises were.
Speaker 2: But yeah, when push comes to shoves, accountability is a
Speaker 2: two way street, right. We're going to push hard to
Speaker 2: make sure these things get done. And you know they
Speaker 2: follow through on the on the things they said they
Speaker 2: would do. As Jim Jordan famously says.
Speaker 1: Glad to hear that, Donov and Neil keep up the
Speaker 1: great work. You want to give my listeners a specific
Speaker 1: website and recap the details of the event, the where
Speaker 1: and the when, and then give give my listeners the
Speaker 1: website how they can help out with your efforts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll be down at the John Peck Central Building
Speaker 2: today down on Main Street in Cincinnati from noon to two.
Speaker 2: Noon to two today, you'll see a big truck. You'll
Speaker 2: see some folks waving signs. Feel free to join us stop,
