00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:10.199
<v Speaker 1>By Billy Cunningham, the great American. Of course, Frank LaRose,

2
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.759
<v Speaker 1>the second cousin of Buddy LaRosa, is the Ohio Secretary

3
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:17.719
<v Speaker 1>of State. Big announcement on Monday. I've focal with Tabey Khamaswami.

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Going to join you and I sometime early next week.

5
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:25.280
<v Speaker 1>But in the meantime, once again, Frank Lrose, Secretary of State,

6
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.839
<v Speaker 1>welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. Before we go much further,

7
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:30.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm watching one of the cable channels this morning, and

8
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:35.960
<v Speaker 1>New York City wants to very badly allow US citizens

9
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:40.240
<v Speaker 1>to actually vote non US citizens to vote in US elections,

10
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:43.439
<v Speaker 1>and that because the taxes are being paid, et cetera.

11
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:46.840
<v Speaker 1>And so we're in California. The same thing occurred there.

12
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Many cities allow non citizens to vote, supposedly, not on

13
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:54.799
<v Speaker 1>federal elections, it's in state elections. And this is a

14
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.719
<v Speaker 1>recipe for total disaster, the taking you over the ballot

15
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>box by electraing radicals. So what is the latest New

16
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.400
<v Speaker 1>York City about their desires to have non citizens voting

17
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 1>in US elections.

18
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:09.280
<v Speaker 2>This is madness. And by the way, they tried this

19
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:11.920
<v Speaker 2>in Ohio in a little place called the village of

20
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Yellow Springs, where the communists that run the place thought

21
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.920
<v Speaker 2>that they could pass a village resolution authorizing non citizens

22
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:21.719
<v Speaker 2>to vote. Of course I had to step in and

23
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:24.920
<v Speaker 2>remind them that that's illegal. And here's the other thing.

24
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:28.480
<v Speaker 2>If you talk to a group of recent citizens, those

25
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 2>that have earned their citizenship, raised their right hand, pass

26
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.719
<v Speaker 2>the test, stood in line, they would tell you, don't

27
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.359
<v Speaker 2>you dare cheapen the thing that I worked so hard

28
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 2>to earn. New American immigrants, new American citizens would tell

29
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:44.680
<v Speaker 2>you that citizenship has value, it has status, it means something.

30
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.760
<v Speaker 2>For the City of New York, foolishly to try to

31
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.680
<v Speaker 2>allow non citizens to vote is just the height of

32
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.079
<v Speaker 2>liberal insanity. I think that common sense will prevail. And

33
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.120
<v Speaker 2>here's the other thing. Just the administration of an election

34
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:00.599
<v Speaker 2>like that is going to cause problems. You have to

35
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.599
<v Speaker 2>have two separate voter registration systems, two separate sets of

36
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 2>voting machines. Right, because non citizens can only vote in

37
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:12.240
<v Speaker 2>local elections. They can't vote in federal elections they're prohibited

38
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.560
<v Speaker 2>from that. And in state wide elections in New York

39
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.360
<v Speaker 2>they can't vote. So it's just a bad idea, just

40
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.599
<v Speaker 2>another in the list of bad liberal ideas related to voting.

41
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, this morning, the five deputy mayors in New

42
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>York City all resigned in this grace. Allegedly, Cuomo is

43
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>going to become the next mayor Keel. She's a real clown.

44
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.080
<v Speaker 1>She's the governor of the state of New York. She

45
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 1>has the power to remove Mayor Adams, to take him

46
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.599
<v Speaker 1>out of the thing completely. It's not as if New

47
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.319
<v Speaker 1>York City is so well run or I don't know

48
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>about Yellow Springs. I think I was there one time,

49
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>playing basketball at a college there. But nonetheless, these are

50
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:53.240
<v Speaker 1>far left wing groups of people that already have every

51
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:56.159
<v Speaker 1>politician they want on the left side to be in power.

52
00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:00.120
<v Speaker 1>No one in Yellow Springs is a constitutional Republican. I

53
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.199
<v Speaker 1>would imagine that little city voted eighty percent for Kamala Harris.

54
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.879
<v Speaker 1>In New York City, you can't find a Republican with

55
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>a search warrant. So it's like a solution in search

56
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.439
<v Speaker 1>of a problem. It's not as if it's not run

57
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.800
<v Speaker 1>the way they want to run those cities anyway, and

58
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>so they're looking for excuses to give. I guess, immigrants

59
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>illegal immigrants. There's a big difference in my book between

60
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 1>legal and illegal. The media doesn't make that distinction, but

61
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.400
<v Speaker 1>there's a big difference between the two. Legal immigrants can vote.

62
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:29.719
<v Speaker 1>They go through the process. I've sworn some in at

63
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 1>some point down at the US Courthouse, United States District Court.

64
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.159
<v Speaker 1>It was wonderful to talk to watch the faces of

65
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.240
<v Speaker 1>proud Americans for the first time register to vote, and

66
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:43.719
<v Speaker 1>the way you go and so, Ohio, how much difficulty

67
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>did you have with Yellow Springs? Did you? Did they

68
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:51.599
<v Speaker 1>actually believe that illegalists could vote? What county? By the ways,

69
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Yellow Springs is that Clark County?

70
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:59.479
<v Speaker 2>It's Green County. And so the Green County Board of Elections,

71
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Green County Board of Elections called me up. This is

72
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty two, I believe, Green County Board of

73
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.439
<v Speaker 2>Elections called me up and said, hey, what do we do.

74
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:09.719
<v Speaker 2>We've got one of our villages claiming that they're going

75
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>to allow non citizens to vote. And I kind of

76
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:14.199
<v Speaker 2>did the all right, hold my beer, I got this.

77
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.720
<v Speaker 2>We sent a letter to the village council there and

78
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:22.439
<v Speaker 2>reminded them that if they are helping non citizens vote,

79
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.839
<v Speaker 2>they may actually be helping them commit a felony which

80
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:30.199
<v Speaker 2>makes them subject to immediate deportation. And they relented, They

81
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.240
<v Speaker 2>backed down and decided not to do this. But this

82
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 2>is why we went to the ballot and changed the

83
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.759
<v Speaker 2>Ohio constitution, because I had a couple of lawyers whisper

84
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:41.879
<v Speaker 2>in my ear that you know, if the village from

85
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 2>Yellow Springs had actually fought this and taken me to court,

86
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.560
<v Speaker 2>they might have won because it was not clear in

87
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 2>our state constitution. Well, we fixed that a couple of

88
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.639
<v Speaker 2>years ago. And by the way, over seventy percent of

89
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:57.879
<v Speaker 2>Ohioan's voted yes to the very simple question should American

90
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.639
<v Speaker 2>elections in Ohio only be open to America citizens? It

91
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:02.319
<v Speaker 2>is now part of our state constitution.

92
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:09.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, I wonder about the other thirty percent, Right, thirty

93
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:13.079
<v Speaker 1>percent said let's let non citizens vote? What about that one?

94
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.879
<v Speaker 2>It defies common says. And here's the other problem with

95
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 2>cities like New York. I mean, what a great American city,

96
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:26.439
<v Speaker 2>in many cases an international show place. When people want

97
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.279
<v Speaker 2>to visit the United State, it's one of the first

98
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.360
<v Speaker 2>things they want to do is go to New York City,

99
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.920
<v Speaker 2>see the Statue of Liberty. And the problem is that

100
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.160
<v Speaker 2>city has been so poorly run for so long it's

101
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.800
<v Speaker 2>given people a really bad impression of our country. I

102
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.879
<v Speaker 2>love New York City. The problem is it's a disaster

103
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.600
<v Speaker 2>right now. Don't even mention Chicago. Frank Sinatra called Chicago

104
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:47.720
<v Speaker 2>my kind of town. If you go there now, you

105
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:49.120
<v Speaker 2>don't want to walk the streets.

106
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>How about Washington, DC? That should be the jewel that

107
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:55.040
<v Speaker 1>shines throughout the world. Ones may I use the term

108
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.759
<v Speaker 1>foreigners come here? They want to look at the capital

109
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:01.680
<v Speaker 1>of the United States of America, of the city of Washington,

110
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:03.959
<v Speaker 1>d C. Is uninhabitable and you can't go there.

111
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:07.439
<v Speaker 2>One of my great joys is going for a run

112
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.360
<v Speaker 2>in Washington, d C. I love bringing my running shoes.

113
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.240
<v Speaker 2>And so a couple of months ago I was there

114
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:14.079
<v Speaker 2>in the summer. My wife said, well, what's it like?

115
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.360
<v Speaker 2>I said, imagine if a city was run by a

116
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:18.319
<v Speaker 2>bunch of fourteen year old boys. And I can say

117
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.519
<v Speaker 2>this having been one once. It is complete chaos. You

118
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:23.720
<v Speaker 2>can sleep where you want, you can take a leak

119
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 2>where you want. I mean, there's tenths pitched everywhere, trash

120
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.160
<v Speaker 2>blowing around. It's really a nightmare. And by the way,

121
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.319
<v Speaker 2>I think that I think that Congress is going to

122
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.920
<v Speaker 2>exercise its authority to rain some of that in think

123
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:38.920
<v Speaker 2>about this. This is the place where all of the

124
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.000
<v Speaker 2>embassies are for all of our allies around the world.

125
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.879
<v Speaker 2>We can't allow DC to continue to be trashed by

126
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.079
<v Speaker 2>liberal nuffleheads.

127
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>All let's talk about next week. You're going to run

128
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.120
<v Speaker 1>for State Auditor and vi veg Ramaswami. There's a couple

129
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.360
<v Speaker 1>candidates up. One is David Yost, who is serving with

130
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:01.519
<v Speaker 1>you one of the five constitutional offer he's the Attorney General.

131
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.040
<v Speaker 1>He said he's going to run, and of course vivike

132
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.279
<v Speaker 1>Rama Swami he's going to announce on Monday that he's

133
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:08.959
<v Speaker 1>going to run. Why have you thrown your support behind

134
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>viveke Ramaswami and not David Yost.

135
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.879
<v Speaker 2>I tell you what. For me, it comes down to

136
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:20.600
<v Speaker 2>vision and the courage to actually execute that vision. Listen,

137
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.480
<v Speaker 2>when I was in the army, I remember there being

138
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:26.319
<v Speaker 2>leaders that you followed because you had to because they

139
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:28.800
<v Speaker 2>have more rank on their shoulder than you do. And

140
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:32.199
<v Speaker 2>then those leaders that you want to follow, those leaders

141
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.600
<v Speaker 2>that inspire you to be a better version of yourself.

142
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:39.959
<v Speaker 2>I see that same thing that we call a command presence,

143
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.879
<v Speaker 2>that leadership in vivek Ramaswami. Not only does he have

144
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.759
<v Speaker 2>a really bold vision to make Ohio the most prosperous

145
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:50.480
<v Speaker 2>state in the nation. But he's got the courage to

146
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:52.839
<v Speaker 2>actually carry it out. And this is what I see

147
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.319
<v Speaker 2>in President Trump as well. How many presidents over the

148
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.800
<v Speaker 2>years have talked about getting rid of the Department of

149
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Education or putting the US embassy in Jerusalem where it

150
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.079
<v Speaker 2>belongs to Well, you know what, Trump has actually been

151
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:07.199
<v Speaker 2>getting these kind of things done. But veg Ramaswami is

152
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>the same kind of leader. And that's why if he

153
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:11.639
<v Speaker 2>runs for governor, I believe he will. I'm going to

154
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:12.720
<v Speaker 2>be behind of one hundred percent.

155
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:15.680
<v Speaker 1>And the issue of Department of Education. I read this

156
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:19.519
<v Speaker 1>morning that the in most urban districts, a total of

157
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:23.240
<v Speaker 1>fifteen percent of the money that they spend, like in

158
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.759
<v Speaker 1>Cincinni Public Schools or Columbus or Toledo or Dayton, fifteen

159
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.079
<v Speaker 1>percent come from the FEDS, and that money is largely misspent.

160
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.799
<v Speaker 1>The other eighty five percent is bureaucratic expenses. There's something

161
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.480
<v Speaker 1>like ninety two thousand people that work in the Department

162
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:41.039
<v Speaker 1>of Education, large buildings all over Washington, Outpost and the

163
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.039
<v Speaker 1>various states. And imagine those moneys being used instead of

164
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.440
<v Speaker 1>to hire people and benefits and buildings being hired to

165
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:53.840
<v Speaker 1>guarantee by the fourth grade, every kid in America can read.

166
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:57.279
<v Speaker 1>You have to learn how to read, to read to learn.

167
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.600
<v Speaker 1>If you don't learn how to read, earning the other

168
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.360
<v Speaker 1>academic disciplines or functioning in life is going to be

169
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:06.519
<v Speaker 1>almost impossible. And every year that goes by it gets

170
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:08.600
<v Speaker 1>worse and worse and worse. And the solution is to

171
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:11.639
<v Speaker 1>spend more money. Obviously than the one hundred and ten

172
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, one hundred and forty billion dollars we spend

173
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:17.039
<v Speaker 1>in the Department of Education is not enough. And the

174
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:19.399
<v Speaker 1>teachers' unions and others say we've got to spend more money.

175
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.879
<v Speaker 1>We don't have to spend more money. I think we

176
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.279
<v Speaker 1>have great question.

177
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, go ahead, absolutely, I always that's the question. What's

178
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.159
<v Speaker 2>the mission? And the mission should be to prepare young

179
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Americans for careers and citizenship. That should be what the

180
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:38.519
<v Speaker 2>Department of Education does. Unfortunately, it's an abject failure at

181
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.840
<v Speaker 2>those things. The only thing it's good at is employing

182
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:46.679
<v Speaker 2>tens of thousands of adults and pushing a radical liberal agenda,

183
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.159
<v Speaker 2>which in many cases is anti American. And so I

184
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.960
<v Speaker 2>think that you know, if there's federal support that needs

185
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.639
<v Speaker 2>to come to schools. Just block granted to the schools

186
00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:59.519
<v Speaker 2>and lets those localities spend that those dollars. Wisely, this

187
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:02.960
<v Speaker 2>mass bureaucracy needs to go because it doesn't accomplish its mission.

188
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:07.840
<v Speaker 1>And CPS, I'm familiar with Cincinnati Public schools, like eighty

189
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:10.679
<v Speaker 1>percent of the kids are not performing at the eighth

190
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:12.919
<v Speaker 1>grade level by the time they get there in spelling,

191
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.320
<v Speaker 1>or in civic studies or English whatever it might be,

192
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:18.279
<v Speaker 1>or mathematics. It doesn't work. And instead of saying, okay,

193
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>we have to stop this madness. You can't be fourteen

194
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:23.639
<v Speaker 1>years old and you can't read. We got to stop this.

195
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.600
<v Speaker 1>But they instead of doing that, they pass on to

196
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.559
<v Speaker 1>the freshman year, the sophomore year. No one fails in anything,

197
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.320
<v Speaker 1>and there's no objective evidence that any of the money

198
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>being spent is actually well spent. In fact, we spend

199
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:38.480
<v Speaker 1>in Cincinnati about twenty thousand dollars per kid per year

200
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.720
<v Speaker 1>and about thirty percent don't show up for class in

201
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:46.919
<v Speaker 1>any particular day. As shocking statistic which is disgusting, is

202
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:50.120
<v Speaker 1>that seventy one percent of black boys are chronically absent

203
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.559
<v Speaker 1>from school. And how in the world. Can you have

204
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:54.600
<v Speaker 1>a school system and with kids aren't in school.

205
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:58.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, and let's talk about this bluntly as what it is.

206
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.679
<v Speaker 2>It's perpetuating generational poverty and low expectations. This is why

207
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:06.919
<v Speaker 2>I think one of the great civil rights issues of

208
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:10.480
<v Speaker 2>our era is school choice. No child should be stuck,

209
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:13.360
<v Speaker 2>No parents should be stuck sending their child to a

210
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.240
<v Speaker 2>bad school simply because of what zip code you live in.

211
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:19.440
<v Speaker 2>And if we don't fix this issue, what we're doing

212
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.120
<v Speaker 2>is just perpetuating problems that are going to show up

213
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:25.480
<v Speaker 2>when these young men and women are in their teenage

214
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:26.759
<v Speaker 2>and twenties.

215
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.799
<v Speaker 1>And we see it constantly, and there's no resolution or idea. Okay,

216
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:34.879
<v Speaker 1>we're on the wrong track. We've had like four superintendents

217
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:37.799
<v Speaker 1>in the past five years. School board members are quitting,

218
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.639
<v Speaker 1>the teachers are fed up to hear with the bureaucracy

219
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:45.120
<v Speaker 1>out of Clifton where the headquarters are. Parents are not

220
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:49.279
<v Speaker 1>sending their kids to school, and it's okay, well, let's

221
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:52.600
<v Speaker 1>arrange these chairs on the Titanic conticipating a different result.

222
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.200
<v Speaker 1>And it begins, Frank, and you're a parent. You told

223
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:58.159
<v Speaker 1>me off the area. You just spent days and days

224
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:00.840
<v Speaker 1>in a volleyball tournament with a third teen year old daughter.

225
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.399
<v Speaker 1>I think in Kansas or Missouri out west, you cared

226
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.639
<v Speaker 1>enough in your family to transport kids there to house,

227
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:09.960
<v Speaker 1>clothe and feed them get them back. I would imagine

228
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:12.720
<v Speaker 1>by the time your kids are in the first grade,

229
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I would imagine they already know how to read or

230
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.919
<v Speaker 1>identify pictures and photos. They're literate. And so at some

231
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:22.320
<v Speaker 1>point maybe we can stop the charade and say we're

232
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:25.159
<v Speaker 1>going to begin with the first grade in urban public schools,

233
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:27.960
<v Speaker 1>and we want the parents to be directly involved in

234
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:30.799
<v Speaker 1>the education of their children. They will support what the

235
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>teachers do in school. Number one, They'll show up for

236
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:37.399
<v Speaker 1>school every day, the homework will be done, and if not,

237
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:40.200
<v Speaker 1>there's going to be consequences. Does that make sense?

238
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:45.360
<v Speaker 2>It makes sense, And it's about high expectations. As parents.

239
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Lauren and I have high expectations for our kids, and

240
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.360
<v Speaker 2>our kids are like any kids. They want to screw

241
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.840
<v Speaker 2>around after school instead of doing their homework. Right, But

242
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:56.559
<v Speaker 2>we love them enough to take the dog on iPads

243
00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:59.159
<v Speaker 2>and cell phones away, or turn off the TV and

244
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:01.559
<v Speaker 2>make them do their homework. And so there's some parental

245
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:03.000
<v Speaker 2>responsibility here as well.

246
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:06.200
<v Speaker 1>No question about it. All right, we got to run.

247
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:11.679
<v Speaker 1>But insanity's doing the same things anticipating different results. And

248
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.200
<v Speaker 1>whether it's doze. I watch on all the shows what's happening,

249
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and the criticisms of the liberal Democrats against Donald Trump

250
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.080
<v Speaker 1>and against Elon Musk. I see the sign you can't

251
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:24.759
<v Speaker 1>spell Felon without Elon. If I see that sign again,

252
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:28.639
<v Speaker 1>that's ridiculous. And those who have been in charge created

253
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.759
<v Speaker 1>a system of complete abuse and neglect of the American taxpayer.

254
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:38.200
<v Speaker 1>And how about this one lastly? GAO three years ago

255
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:42.759
<v Speaker 1>during the Biden regime said that every year the federal

256
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:46.200
<v Speaker 1>government spends between two hundred and fifty to five hundred

257
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.559
<v Speaker 1>and fifty billion dollars every year as a result of waste, fraud,

258
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:53.840
<v Speaker 1>and abuse. Take that number over four years. That means

259
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.639
<v Speaker 1>in the four years Biden was in office, one to

260
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:00.720
<v Speaker 1>two trillion dollars was fritted away. I have a list

261
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.519
<v Speaker 1>here of those over the age of one hundred getting

262
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:06.759
<v Speaker 1>Social Security checks. There's some Americans that are one hundred

263
00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:10.399
<v Speaker 1>and fifty years old getting Social Security checks. I don't

264
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:12.559
<v Speaker 1>think that's accurate. I don't think anyone's one hundred and

265
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:16.240
<v Speaker 1>fifty years old. But the system needs complete reform, and

266
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:19.759
<v Speaker 1>you can't keep doing the same thing anticipating a different result. Lastly,

267
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:22.679
<v Speaker 1>should Doze come to Ohio. I'm going to ask a

268
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.480
<v Speaker 1>bank m question. Explain that to me. Doze in Ohio?

269
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.120
<v Speaker 2>So absolutely so. The swamp doesn't want to be drained.

270
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:32.480
<v Speaker 2>And that's what you see in Washington, DC right now,

271
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:35.480
<v Speaker 2>where all these bureaucrats are, you know, out on the

272
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:40.279
<v Speaker 2>streets protesting what government. What Elon Musk and President Trump

273
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:43.759
<v Speaker 2>are doing to actually bring government efficiency. We need to

274
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.039
<v Speaker 2>bring that same mentality to Ohio. By the way, this

275
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:48.639
<v Speaker 2>is why I'm running for Auditor of State. Auditor does

276
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.039
<v Speaker 2>two things. Catches crooks that are stealing public money and

277
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:54.240
<v Speaker 2>puts them in jail. Hoo rah. That's great. But the

278
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:57.720
<v Speaker 2>other part about it is making government work more efficiently.

279
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:00.519
<v Speaker 2>The auditor has the power to do what's called a

280
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:04.440
<v Speaker 2>performance audit, meaning come in, open the hood and figure

281
00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:07.080
<v Speaker 2>out if it's not running on all cylinders. I plan

282
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:10.519
<v Speaker 2>to use this office as o DOJE Ohio Department of

283
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.720
<v Speaker 2>Government Efficiency. And by the way, with a courageous leader

284
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:17.399
<v Speaker 2>like vivike Ramaswami in the Governor's office, we'll be able

285
00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:20.360
<v Speaker 2>to actually reform state government to make it work better

286
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:20.960
<v Speaker 2>for the people.

287
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Are you going to get sideways with David Yost if

288
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.919
<v Speaker 1>you endorse his opponent? What about that one, Frank LeRose.

289
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:29.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, I tell you what. That's the tough nature of

290
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:32.960
<v Speaker 2>this business. Sometimes I like Dave, I wish him well,

291
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:36.279
<v Speaker 2>but you have to choose who's the best choice for Ohio.

292
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:38.600
<v Speaker 2>This is not about who I like the best or

293
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:41.159
<v Speaker 2>the most personal relationships. I like both of these guys,

294
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.519
<v Speaker 2>but this is about what's best for Ohio, the state

295
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:45.159
<v Speaker 2>that my children are going to grow up in, and

296
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:47.720
<v Speaker 2>for me, vike Ramaswami is the obvious choice.

297
00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:50.360
<v Speaker 1>It's going to happen Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday of next week.

298

311
00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:23.399

312
00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:27.480
<v Speaker 1>it would be interesting if Doze would come to eight

313
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:31.200
<v Speaker 1>oh one Plump Street, or Doze would come to Cincinnati

314
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.639
<v Speaker 1>Public schools. How much money is being wasted there? Wouldn't

315
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:37.360
<v Speaker 1>that be interesting? The doge concept needs to come to

316
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:40.080
<v Speaker 1>everywhere in government to wash out the waste, fraud, and

317
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:43.360
<v Speaker 1>abuse and programs that don't work. Let's continue with more
