Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, You're out of there. It's done.
Speaker 2: You are twenty twenty four election headquarters.
Speaker 1: That would bring me much joy. Fifty five KRS Talk Station.
Speaker 2: Seven five, the fifty five KRCV talk Station, Happy Wednesday,
Speaker 2: Boom of the IRA. Frank Lorose on early voting, military apps,
Speaker 2: kee voting, purging, voting roles, fraud and issue one on
Speaker 2: the program right now, the return of Orlando's Sonza described
Speaker 2: by Westside Jim Kiefer, who hosted that West Side Republican
Speaker 2: event last night for the candidates as Melissa Powers, who's
Speaker 2: running for Hamlin County Prosecutors favorite person or favorite candidate
Speaker 2: Orlando high praise from Melissa Powers. Welcome back to the
Speaker 2: fifty five krc Morning Show.
Speaker 1: My friend Brian, always great to be on. How are you?
Speaker 2: I'm doing well. I hope you are doing well as
Speaker 2: as well. Also, as I always point out, Orlando's sons
Speaker 2: of s n ZA dot com Orlandosanza dot com, you
Speaker 2: can volunteer help the campaign. You can donate, and I
Speaker 2: trust that you'd be more than happy to accept the
Speaker 2: financial contribution. Orlando, I know it was widely reported after
Speaker 2: your debate with Landsman, which we'll get to in a
Speaker 2: minute that he's got a few more dollars in his
Speaker 2: coffers than you do, and we're going to be staring
Speaker 2: at his mug with all that money. So we need
Speaker 2: to get you up there too, right.
Speaker 1: That's right. We need all the resources we can get
Speaker 1: to deliver our winning message.
Speaker 2: That's right, and it is a winning message. Well compared
Speaker 2: to Greg Lansman. How did that debate? It was over
Speaker 2: at the Mayerson Jewish Community Center, and I guess it
Speaker 2: was simul I apologized I did not see it, but
Speaker 2: I've heard it was a little heated from time to time.
Speaker 2: What's your take on it? And let my listeners know
Speaker 2: where you and mister Lansman. I don't think you agree
Speaker 2: literally on anything except where where are you most divided
Speaker 2: on the issues?
Speaker 1: Orlando. Yeah. I will first say, Brian, is that I
Speaker 1: think we won that debate hands down, not just when
Speaker 1: it comes to form, but most certainly when it comes
Speaker 1: to substance and policy. Right, because at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, what voters are going to vote on is
Speaker 1: just the atrocious, dismal policies that have been advanced not
Speaker 1: just by the Biden Harris administration, but then continued on
Speaker 1: by folks like Greg Lansman, and so I looked at
Speaker 1: that debate as the closing argument in a jury trial case, right,
Speaker 1: and as a former prosecutor here in Hamilton County, looking
Speaker 1: at what our opponent needed to do, and that was
Speaker 1: defend his own record. He had absolutely no defense. I mean,
Speaker 1: when you are confronted by the reality that under your
Speaker 1: voting record, the reason why we have hyperinflation, or the
Speaker 1: fact that our grocery prices and utility prices and gas
Speaker 1: prices are still up is because you take positions like
Speaker 1: raise the debt, sealing with zero cuts the national spending.
Speaker 1: Come on, that's what creates this problem. Or let's continue
Speaker 1: to tax the American family to oblivion and raise our
Speaker 1: property taxes, our income taxes, our sales taxes. Let's not
Speaker 1: renew the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of twenty seventeen
Speaker 1: going into this coming January. That's what creates this problem.
Speaker 1: And again too, just highlighting how he even goes further
Speaker 1: than that when it comes to the economy, like raising
Speaker 1: the federal minimum wage up to twenty four dollars. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's just it's just flies in the face of common
Speaker 1: sense and he has no response, absolutely no response that
Speaker 1: he offered did not defend his record, and then it
Speaker 1: continued on from there the open Southern border. I think
Speaker 1: that was the starkest contrast when you're looking at a
Speaker 1: product of a legal immigration system in my story and
Speaker 1: why my parents came to this country and helping to
Speaker 1: inform voters that, look, I'm going to be the biggest
Speaker 1: proponent on that debate stage on fixing our immigration problem,
Speaker 1: because we should have immigration, but guess what it should
Speaker 1: be legal? And what we've seen in this open southern
Speaker 1: border under people like Greg Landsman who've taken positions like
Speaker 1: let's call Cincinnati a sanctuary city, let's strip immigrations and
Speaker 1: customs enforcement of their duties, responsibility in authority of actually
Speaker 1: enforcing laws here in Cincinnati. And then on top of that,
Speaker 1: he votes to know on the Secure Border Act, he's
Speaker 1: voting to allow illegal immigrants the right to vote. It
Speaker 1: flies in the face of common sense. Again, no defense.
Speaker 1: So from that standpoint, and on top of that, he's
Speaker 1: shaking like a leaf and completely interrupting, no civility, lack
Speaker 1: of professionalism, and that's currently who's representing the people. So
Speaker 1: form substance We got him on that, and I will
Speaker 1: tell you, Brian, here's the biggest differen is that we're
Speaker 1: willing to go into the dent Alliance, into home based
Speaker 1: territory for him in Amberley Village and not afraid to
Speaker 1: deliver our case. When we've got our upcoming forum, which
Speaker 1: was supposed to be a debate tomorrow night and empower you,
Speaker 1: he refuses to show up. Oh really, because he's afraid.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and because he's afraid to show up simply
Speaker 1: because there might be more Republicans of the room that
Speaker 1: he's ever been used to. But we're not afraid to
Speaker 1: go anywhere because we've got a message I think that
Speaker 1: will resonate across the entire district.
Speaker 2: I couldn't agree with you more, Orlando. But as a representative,
Speaker 2: any representative form of government, you do represent people who
Speaker 2: are not in your party and you have to answer
Speaker 2: for them. You're supposed to represent the interests.
Speaker 1: Of all people.
Speaker 2: And all of us are impacted by tax policy, all
Speaker 2: of us are impacted by you the green energy policies,
Speaker 2: all of us are impacted by the border and the
Speaker 2: realities of an wide open southern border. And while you
Speaker 2: and I would agree that the left wing policies are
Speaker 2: not what we would embrace and think they're bad for
Speaker 2: the country, demonstrably bad. Look around you. You are going
Speaker 2: to have to answer questions from constituents. So I appreciate
Speaker 2: that you are willing to go out into the world.
Speaker 2: And notably, and I thought the forum was was excellent
Speaker 2: and surprising to me. The Mayerson a Jewish Community Center.
Speaker 2: We all know it is a statistical fact that the
Speaker 2: Jewish community typically in a very high percentage Lean's Democrat.
Speaker 2: I've never understood why that is the case, but it
Speaker 2: is a factual reality that the issue of Israel, the
Speaker 2: current situation with Maas Gaza, and the and the and
Speaker 2: the deteriorating reality of the Middle East come up at
Speaker 2: all during conversation.
Speaker 1: It absolutely did. But here here's the first point I
Speaker 1: want to make to uh. The Jewish community and the JCRC,
Speaker 1: the AJC, they could not have been more hospitable, more respectful,
Speaker 1: you know, very accommodating, and I thank them for hosting
Speaker 1: that debate. But it again is just telling that when
Speaker 1: I try to come in there and the entire team,
Speaker 1: and I got to tell you, don't I know for
Speaker 1: a fact from Channel twelve. That was the biggest turnout
Speaker 1: they've ever seen in any congressional debate here in Greater Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: I mean we packed the house. I mean there was
Speaker 1: over four hundred people there, sold out tickets. And it's
Speaker 1: telling when you've got more team sons of supporters. They're
Speaker 1: in Amberley Village in the Jewish Center that come down.
Speaker 1: So the broad support that we had. But yes, they
Speaker 1: were respectful and accommodating, but it's just telling that we
Speaker 1: come in there being respectful and hospitable as well and civil.
Speaker 1: But yet I think what you saw on the stage
Speaker 1: is that there was only one candidate that was showing
Speaker 1: lack of decorum, lack of civility, and Brian, that's what
Speaker 1: people are just tired of today, is just the lack
Speaker 1: of civility, the lack of respect that canntinuing to interrupt
Speaker 1: your opponent as he's talking, and people are fed up
Speaker 1: with it. And I think that's going to be also
Speaker 1: something that people are going to bring to the ballot
Speaker 1: is who do I really want to represent me? In
Speaker 1: trying to bring back honor, integrity, and a statesmanship back.
Speaker 1: So I think that's important as well. Look it most
Speaker 1: certainly came up the topics of the Middle East conflict
Speaker 1: and anti Semitism. And what I think we again delivered
Speaker 1: well is the contrast is the policies that just precipitate
Speaker 1: this sort of conflict we see, whether it's in Gaza
Speaker 1: or the broader Middle East, by policy positions taken by
Speaker 1: my opponent. Now again, I am never going to disrespect
Speaker 1: him for his beliefs. I know that he's Jewish, and
Speaker 1: I respect him for that. I never result and you
Speaker 1: know me, Brian, I never result to ad hominem attack.
Speaker 1: Oh no, you saw that being lodged, only the other
Speaker 1: way around, directed at me. But when it comes to
Speaker 1: why we see the conflict just continuing to grow and
Speaker 1: grow more and more every day, are policy positions like
Speaker 1: continuing to send American taxpayer dollars to countries whose interests
Speaker 1: are adverse to US. I e. Iran. And it was
Speaker 1: our opponent that voted no on two appropriations packages as
Speaker 1: the sitting congressman for this district that would have prohibited
Speaker 1: additional money US dollars going to Iran. And guess what
Speaker 1: that appropriations package had bipartisan support, But yet he votes
Speaker 1: to know and no wonder why we see events like
Speaker 1: the horrific acts that happen on October seventh being done
Speaker 1: and carried out by terrorist groups like Hamas. It's because
Speaker 1: of nation states like Iran whose proxies are Hamas and
Speaker 1: Hezbola and the Huthis. And so look again, it comes
Speaker 1: down to policy, and let's get our our facts straight
Speaker 1: that it's my opponent that is h for this administration
Speaker 1: in sending the three hundred billion dollars of US money
Speaker 1: that went to a rod and that freed up their
Speaker 1: cash reserves as well so that they can send it
Speaker 1: to these terrorist proxy groups. Well briefly, so we highlighted
Speaker 1: that as well.
Speaker 2: Well briefly, we're gonna take a break, we'll bring it back.
Speaker 2: But I'm just curious to know if he ran away
Speaker 2: from that vote or how he responded to your retort
Speaker 2: about him and and and his his his not voting
Speaker 2: properly on that look.
Speaker 1: In in all of his responses it was listen, let's
Speaker 1: let's let's let's be clear here is that I am Jewish,
Speaker 1: and again I don't ding him for that, and no
Speaker 1: one is going to tell me that I'm not being
Speaker 1: impacted by completely hiding from the issue. No explain to
Speaker 1: us why it was in the best interest of the
Speaker 1: American people and Southwest ohiolands, why you voted that way,
Speaker 1: And again it runs the gambit.

Speaker 2: talk station, Very happy Wednesday to you. We're gonna hear
Speaker 2: from Frank Lroo's about voting after the bottom of the hour.
Speaker 2: It was the meantime. Orlando Sons is on the phone.
Speaker 2: He's running for the first District Congress against Greg Landsman.
Speaker 1: Orlando.
Speaker 2: Before we get to you on the issues, and I
Speaker 2: was kind of curious to know if Greg Lansman's being
Speaker 2: involved in the Gang of Five came up as a
Speaker 2: question of character. Demonstrably you are a man of incredible character,
Speaker 2: just like going to West Point doesn't mean you are
Speaker 2: a man of character, but it certainly is an illustration
Speaker 2: giving your record and service to your country. He is
Speaker 2: a prosecutor and of course in America's military and continuing
Speaker 2: your service for the American veterans as head of the
Speaker 2: Hamilton County Veterans Administration. Anything brought up about Landsman's background
Speaker 2: and lack of character.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Brian, you can bet that as we prosecuted this
Speaker 1: case against Greg Lansman, we brought up his unethical practices
Speaker 1: and his pattern of unethical practices, right because the voters
Speaker 1: in this district deserve to know. They deserve to know
Speaker 1: that who they currently have in office is the guy
Speaker 1: whose record stretches back before he even became a congressman,
Speaker 1: as the guy that, while on Cincinnati City Council was
Speaker 1: a member of the Gang of Five who conducted official
Speaker 1: city business in secret, out of open public meeting. And
Speaker 1: guess what, not only did it cost the city taxpayers
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees because he
Speaker 1: was found guilty, you had a common please court judge
Speaker 1: right here in Hamilton County look him in the eye
Speaker 1: and say you should never hold elected office ever. Again,
Speaker 1: we absolutely brought that up, and I'm pretty sure it
Speaker 1: got under his skin because what was his response. He
Speaker 1: simply tried to swat it away and say, let's not
Speaker 1: talk about something that happened eight years ago. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about now. Really, well, guess what the people of Cincinnati
Speaker 1: have not forgotten, Greg, And you don't want to talk
Speaker 1: about that, Well, let's talk about this. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: the fact that you continue to show a pattern where
Speaker 1: it's your own interest over the interests of your constituents.
Speaker 1: And one of the things that we brought up is
Speaker 1: just last week an allegation on National News that Greg
Speaker 1: Landsman is being accused of violating Federal Stock Act in
Speaker 1: failing to report over eighty stock transactions as a sitting
Speaker 1: member of Congress while he sits on the Small Business
Speaker 1: Committee and the evaluation there that he put could be
Speaker 1: up to a million dollars. I mean, again, here's the
Speaker 1: guy who just last week runs a TV ad saying
Speaker 1: that he's going to Congress or one of the reasons
Speaker 1: why he has gone to Congress is to stop insider trading. Well,
Speaker 1: it begs the question, Greg, who's insider trading are you
Speaker 1: trying to stop? So again we brought a case here
Speaker 1: where you show a pattern of lack of ethics, and
Speaker 1: you're right, Brian, is that just because I went to
Speaker 1: West Point and Jessica, my wife, went to West Point,
Speaker 1: it doesn't necessarily mean that we abide by certain ethics.
Speaker 1: But I could tell you what it was ingrained in us.
Speaker 1: Not just an honor code that a cadet will not lie,
Speaker 1: cheat or steal, nor tolerate those who do. But we
Speaker 1: were ingrained with values of duty, honor, and integrity. And
Speaker 1: that stretches back before I got to the academy, in
Speaker 1: my parents instilling me at a young age do the
Speaker 1: right thing, especially when it's inconvenient to do so, put
Speaker 1: people over yourselves. And so at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: what I wanted to deliver a message that night on
Speaker 1: the debate is that the contrast of what you currently
Speaker 1: have is a person that puts himself over the people
Speaker 1: he's supposed to serve, versus someone who is not just
Speaker 1: trying to live a life yes, imperfectly, but trying my
Speaker 1: best to live a life of honor, integrity, moral courage,
Speaker 1: and trying to instill that in my four young kids
Speaker 1: under the age of ten. And it's not making the
Speaker 1: job any easier when it's our elected leaders like Greg
Speaker 1: Lansman who are completely representing what's backwards in this country
Speaker 1: policy wise, but also not living up to the example
Speaker 1: of what a man of integrity should be.
Speaker 2: Orlandosanza dot com, you're in rarefied air, ORLANDA. I can
Speaker 2: still count in single digits and number of politicians to
Speaker 2: whom I have made a contribution, my wife and I
Speaker 2: and you are one of them. That's how much I
Speaker 2: firmly believe in you, your positions, and the how much
Speaker 2: I believe you will be good for our country. Folks,
Speaker 2: get over to Orlandosanza dot com. Help out in any
Speaker 2: way you possibly can spread the message and let's get
Speaker 2: a better person elected to office. That man is on
Speaker 2: the phone right now. Ortlanta. Thank you for the time
Speaker 2: you spent my listeners and me. You have an open
Speaker 2: forum here in the morning show and I welcome that
