<v Speaker 1>for Prosperity doing great things here in the state of Behind,

3
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:09.720
<v Speaker 1>across this great land of ours. And one of the

4
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:12.759
<v Speaker 1>men we always talk to for Americans for Prosperity, Welcome back,

5
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:14.759
<v Speaker 1>Donovan O'Neil. It's always a pleasure to have you on

6
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the program, my friend.

7
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:18.519
<v Speaker 2>Brian, great to be here with you this morning.

8
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:20.440
<v Speaker 1>So we got something to talk about. You've got an

9
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>event for Bernie Marino. What's this one all about?

10
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, so you know, we can only go so long,

11
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Brian without getting out there and waiving some signs and

12
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:31.640
<v Speaker 2>doing a little rally in. And so we've got that

13
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:33.759
<v Speaker 2>inch just hit us, and we're going to be out

14
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:37.960
<v Speaker 2>there at the Cincinnati office today at noon, not protesting him,

15
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.560
<v Speaker 2>not telling him what he's doing wrong, but encouraging to

16
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.679
<v Speaker 2>stay the course and protect prosperity by making the Trump

17
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.399
<v Speaker 2>tax cuts permanent. So we're excited to get out there

18
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:50.000
<v Speaker 2>while the video truck while a number of folks joining

19
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:52.399
<v Speaker 2>us across southwest Ohio. It should be a good time

20
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:56.439
<v Speaker 2>and again a good opportunity to highlight the importance of

21
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.439
<v Speaker 2>following through the promises these folks made last year when

22
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:00.880
<v Speaker 2>they were camping to earn our votes.

23
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, and it's a good time to be pushing this issue.

24
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.480
<v Speaker 1>First off, coming off the heels of my conversation with

25
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:07.719
<v Speaker 1>Jack adan At about envy, you know, one of the

26
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.359
<v Speaker 1>reasons they justify excessive taxation is because, well, you just

27
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:13.159
<v Speaker 1>make too much money. We're going to take a chunk

28
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>of it because we know how to better spend it

29
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>than you do. But to that latter point, they can't

30
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:21.599
<v Speaker 1>say that anymore because Doge, it's been brought to all

31
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.799
<v Speaker 1>of our collective attention. Republican Democrat, everybody in between, anybody

32
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 1>who actually pays into the system realizes they don't mind

33
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:33.400
<v Speaker 1>the store. They are abusing the taxpayers and our labor,

34
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:36.239
<v Speaker 1>which is converted into money which is then taxed. You know,

35
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I've got down that road. Every time you

36
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>worked for it, you got up out of bed on

37
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:42.079
<v Speaker 1>days you didn't even want to get up, and they

38
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.480
<v Speaker 1>took a sizeable chunk of it. And what do we

39
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:46.319
<v Speaker 1>find out it's been done with it, It's been sent

40
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>all over the world. They're not paying attention to the books.

41
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>They're letting people with dead people obviously dead people remain

42
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>as active on the Social Security ranks, which even if

43
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 1>they're not getting checks, is still something. It's a vehicle

44
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.319
<v Speaker 1>for fraud, and they're pointing out there is a truckload

45
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:06.159
<v Speaker 1>of fraud. Does anybody in government do anything about it?

46
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Apparently not, not until evil eat billionaire Elon mush shows

47
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>up and for free starts ferreting it all out, using

48
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.080
<v Speaker 1>his wit, his intellect, and his artificial intelligence to go

49
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:19.439
<v Speaker 1>through the books. Yes, keep the Trump tax cuts in place.

50
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Let us have the freedom to spend the money. You

51
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>got me on a Tarr Donovan, We're.

52
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Gonna put the megaphone in your hands at noon today

53
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.680
<v Speaker 2>down there at Bernie's office, because that's the kind of

54
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.280
<v Speaker 2>stuff we're talking about. Brian, You're right, we should, we

55
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.560
<v Speaker 2>should have a little outrage, especially as our friends in

56
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:37.479
<v Speaker 2>the progressive left are going on their amnesia tour, folks

57
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 2>like Tim Walls and AOC and others are running around

58
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.520
<v Speaker 2>the country trying to stir up descent here where the

59
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 2>reality is, we're getting what we voted for. We wanted

60
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.360
<v Speaker 2>efficiency in our government. Our if our federal government was

61
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>a private corporation or a publicly traded corporation, right where

62
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:57.439
<v Speaker 2>where you had investors taking a look and hoping for returns.

63
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I think you'd be jumping ship left and right as

64
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:02.919
<v Speaker 2>you begin to see and understand what some of the

65
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:05.879
<v Speaker 2>Trump administration and Elon Musk through the dose you're doing.

66
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.719
<v Speaker 1>Right, So the board of directors, if it was a

67
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.719
<v Speaker 1>private company, would be sued for for breach of fiduciary

68
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:13.759
<v Speaker 1>obligations to their shareholders.

69
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, and so you know, I think it's good and

70
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.840
<v Speaker 2>I from the conversations I have what I see traveling

71
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:22.840
<v Speaker 2>around the state talking to groups, and I don't just

72
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.319
<v Speaker 2>live in an echo chamber, Brian. Right, We're out there

73
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.360
<v Speaker 2>talking to folks at the doors in communities, at events,

74
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 2>coffee shops, gas stations, grocery stores. They're happy about the

75
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.439
<v Speaker 2>things that are happening here because they want efficiency in government.

76
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.039
<v Speaker 2>Nobody likes seeing their money leave their paycheck and go

77
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.759
<v Speaker 2>into a black hole in Washington, d C. Where bureaucrats

78
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:44.000
<v Speaker 2>spend it. Uh Like they're they're they're starting to bonfire.

79
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:45.919
<v Speaker 2>This is good stuff and we got to be out

80
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>there now here's important too. We got to be out

81
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.400
<v Speaker 2>there with folk, not just when we're upset about something,

82
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>but to but to be out there when good things

83
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.560
<v Speaker 2>are happening. And in this case, what Bernie Moreno is

84
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.120
<v Speaker 2>doing in his time as a senator, uh, the work

85
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 2>he's doing to advocate to protect trust already. That's why

86
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:02.400
<v Speaker 2>we're going to be out there today is to make

87
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:04.960
<v Speaker 2>sure he knows their folks here in the state will

88
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 2>appreciate him and the work he's doing well.

89
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>And as a successful businessman himself, he gets all this.

90
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. I mean, he has spin

91
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>out there. He has knows what the regulatory burdens are like,

92
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:18.600
<v Speaker 1>he knows what the tax burdens are like. He knows

93
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.120
<v Speaker 1>where the interference in how to run a successful business

94
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:24.160
<v Speaker 1>comes from. And it's not because they have incompetent people

95
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:26.959
<v Speaker 1>working for you. It's because the government comes in, incompetent

96
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.439
<v Speaker 1>as they may be, and tries to tell you how

97
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.279
<v Speaker 1>your life should be run. And it always ends up

98
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 1>in some sort of epic failure at least a massive

99
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:35.839
<v Speaker 1>roadblock to success and prosperity.

100
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, who better than somebody who's created jobs for

101
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 2>folks right, created payrolls, pay taxes himself, corporate and individual,

102
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.199
<v Speaker 2>and wants to get a good returnal and investment every

103
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.240
<v Speaker 2>American wants that, right. We want the tax dollars we

104
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:53.279
<v Speaker 2>pay to go towards good programs that are efficiently run

105
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:57.000
<v Speaker 2>that they'll get the results that were promised out of them.

106
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>And that's all we're asking for here, but also making

107
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.720
<v Speaker 2>sure that government isn't taken more than it needs. And

108
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:05.759
<v Speaker 2>that's why it's important to make these Trump tax cuts

109
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.120
<v Speaker 2>permanent and get that job done here over the next

110
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:10.680
<v Speaker 2>few weeks as they work through the reconciliation process.

111
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, I know you've got the paulse Bernie

112
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Marino and you know Bernie Marine is a solid on

113
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.160
<v Speaker 1>keeping the trap of the Trump tax cuts in place.

114
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Are you concerned about, you know, reconciliation and that there

115
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:23.800
<v Speaker 1>are individuals in the Republican Party who are going to

116
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>end but tanking this by keeping their own pet projects

117
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>in or otherwise continuing the over excessive spending in federal

118
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:31.920
<v Speaker 1>government alive.

119
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:35.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, and that's why you know, across the country,

120
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.480
<v Speaker 2>you made this twenty million dollar investment as an organization,

121
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:40.959
<v Speaker 2>so this isn't just an Ohio project. This is happening

122
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:44.519
<v Speaker 2>in all fifty states. As you know. AFP's a nationwide

123
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.439
<v Speaker 2>crossroots organization. Yeah, because you know, you've got what is it,

124
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:52.959
<v Speaker 2>five hundred and thirty five different individuals representing five hundred

125
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:57.000
<v Speaker 2>and thirty five different constituencies across the country, and we

126
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.519
<v Speaker 2>need to make sure that those folks Congress, m Senate

127
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.879
<v Speaker 2>right together, stay the course and stay on track. And

128
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.519
<v Speaker 2>so it's a it's a tenuous situation right in Washington.

129
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.519
<v Speaker 2>Nothing ever works out the way you plan it or

130
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:13.000
<v Speaker 2>hope it too. But with the leadership, you know, Speaker

131
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Mike Johnson, I think that's the most challenging chamber. We're

132
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.600
<v Speaker 2>seeing them slowly but surely navigate this process. And we

133
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 2>know Senates and lockstep we're going to get the job done.

134
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:24.360
<v Speaker 2>So but we got to keep that noise level up

135
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:27.480
<v Speaker 2>and we got to keep folks in Congress, the folks

136
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.800
<v Speaker 2>we elected, mission focused and on target. And that's a

137
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.279
<v Speaker 2>lot of what our Protecting Prosperity campaign is all about.

138
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.160
<v Speaker 1>All right, And AFP if you and I'm sure AFP

139
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>knows who I'm talking about, you know, can name names,

140
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:42.319
<v Speaker 1>They know who the concerns are within the conservative side

141
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.439
<v Speaker 1>of the Ledger And you can scream all day long

142
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>outside of Democrats office and probably not going to listen

143
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.040
<v Speaker 1>to a word, you say. But on the Republican side,

144
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:51.639
<v Speaker 1>there are those big government Republicans, the so called rhino

145
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.240
<v Speaker 1>is out there. Do you speak truth to power to

146
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:58.040
<v Speaker 1>those elected officials outside their offices and call them out

147
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:01.439
<v Speaker 1>on how they might end up tanking this potentially wonderful

148
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.319
<v Speaker 1>process of getting budget budget reconciliation through.

149
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:08.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and we're still in the nice guy faith, Brian. Right,

150
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.399

<v Speaker 1>youtwoe brother seven forty fifty five KRECD talk station here.

183
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.879
<v Speaker 1>I love my friends at Butterbert Motors. I just think

184
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:42.440
<v Speaker 1>it's the coolest thing. Five generations of Herbert family members

185
00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:46.159
<v Speaker 1>selling only the finest lawn equipment out there. John Deere,

186
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:49.600
<v Speaker 1>you got x Mark mowers, you got steel power equipment,

187
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:51.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Quite a few things from steel, from

188
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:55.000
<v Speaker 1>from Buttermoters, and of course my Honda push mower, the

189
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.480
<v Speaker 1>last more I will ever buy, so saith the Herbert family.

190
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:00.639
<v Speaker 1>When I bought it commercial gray, you know, you'll use

191
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>it like once or twice, maybe three times a week

192
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>when the grass is really growing. But I'm not gonna

193
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.559
<v Speaker 1>have to buy another one again. They keep it serviced.

194
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I have them over to the house to service that.

195
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.200
<v Speaker 1>They delivered it to my door after I decided what

196
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I was buying. They'll take great care of you. They

197
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.240
<v Speaker 1>are knowledgeable about the products they sell, unlike the box

198
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.039
<v Speaker 1>store folks, and their name is on the company. They're

199
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:21.200
<v Speaker 1>of course proud of what they do, so they've got

200
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:23.919
<v Speaker 1>the reputation on the line. So you get superior service,
