little bit later in the show. Wow. Uh, General, there's
(00:36):
this middle class candidate who wants to be president.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
And to be fair, she probably did graduate somewhere in
the middle of her class.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I'm watching this middle class candidate do all the right things.
It's a perfectly run campaign. Oh, certainly, she has tremendous
depth of knowledge on foreign and domestic issues.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
A very pleasing laugh.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Very It's just it's kind of one of those laughs
that just warms you up.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yes, yes, like like a hot apple cider sure in.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
The fall with a lot of alcohol in it.

General, did you watch the Al Smith dinner and Trump
take the stage?

I pick typically don't pick up a FaceTime request.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
I maybe just in your only you have an only
fans page.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I had to get rid of it.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It's just too much work. Well you can spend all
the money you were making on your only fans. No
you can't.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
And all these these eighteen year old girls calling you
all the time, I'll.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Stop, Okay, all right, so I get a FaceTime. Last night,
Michelle and I were just we had a little bit
of later evening and I'm I'm home. We've got the fire,
we've got our dogs in the couch. Of course, the
kids are gone off to college, and it's the fall,
the crisp, cool air. I'm like, man, this is nice.
(02:08):
What a nice relaxing evening. We've got the The Indians
are playing the Who the Indians, Oh Indians Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I thought they changed their name. Now they're just oh,
just their Indians now they don't they took off the
Cleveland Park Good the.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Cleveland Engines, and the Yankees Instant Classic. Last night. I've
seen you kind of figure out when we're you know,
we're recording the show. But I get this FaceTime from
a dear friend of mine said, are you watching the
Al Smith Dinner? I'm like, holy cow, I totally forgot.
We jump on rewind watch it from the beginning. Wow, guys,
(02:45):
if you haven't seen this yet, make sure you go
on the YouTube's and type in Trump Al Smith Dinner
and it's it's been going on since nineteen forty five.
It's to raise money for Catholic charities there in New
York City and in order to keep expenses down, physical responsibility. Sure,
it's held at the.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Waldorf, Yes, the Waldorf Astoria. And he's doing all this
standing right next to Chuck shueh oh.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
It is absolutely priceless. I can't wait to watch it again.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Kamala, Kamala something skips it? Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Who are the thirty year old thirty two year olds
that are running her campaign into the ground? Thank you
first of all for all the missteps. And you know what,
while we're at it, Democrat Party, thanks for anointing Kamala Harris.
Is it still too late to bring Joe Biden back?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
That's what people are wondering right now.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
You saw a little lobbying going on at Ethel Kennedy's funeral.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, I think that Kamala had to change the air
in her tires last night so she couldn't make it.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I am just blown away. I in general, look, I
want to I want to get into this middle class
business of Kamala Harris in all sincerity. And we're going
to talk about Shared Brown today, which let me give
you a little trailer, a little sizzle reel on Shared Brown.
(04:17):
I know almost nothing about the guy. I knew almost
nothing about him, and he's been in Ohio electoral politics
for fifty.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Years, since nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Fifty years. We're going to spend a lot of time
on mister Brown. But first we've got to go. We
have to just talk about the machine and it getting
exposed with the coup on Joe Biden and then this
Kamala Harris and now you got the Biden Clinton machine.
(04:52):
When those two they don't they hate. Those two camps
hate each other. From what I understand, Well.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
The Obama Clinton machine too.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, Democrat party is just getting blasted. It's just it's
getting adomized. Now she starts with being a middle class
grew up in a middle class family. Is that kind
of her meme?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
That's her oft repeated statements.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I grew up in the middle class. I think you
did you grow up? Do you consider yourself in middle
class when you grew up?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I would say, maybe, yeah, middle class?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Were you hedging up or down there?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
A tiny bit up? Maybe it just depends. I mean,
my stepfather was a doctor. My dad lived in Upper Arlington.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
So oh you well, you backslid in a big way,
didn't you know?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Oh yes, the right out there.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Now you're in a van down by the.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
River, absolutely by the the fision's good.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
A nice fan too steamed up. I will tell you
I am a product of the Heartland. I was born
in nineteen sixty eight. I spent the seventies and eighties
in Ohio. Spent all my life in Ohio. But the
men that I looked up to, my cousins, my uncles.
(06:04):
My dad died when I was a little boy, just
nine years old. But man, I grew up in mice time.
The Coffels were up in the up in the Steel
Country right and Columbiana County right on, you know, forty
five minutes from Pittsburgh. Growing up middle class was a blessing.
(06:25):
We have the values of hard work. We learned how
to get by. We learned how to be grateful and
really the importance of family meals, home cook family meals,
family traditions like Sunday get togethers. Like on my mom's
side of the family, it felt like we were always
driving down to Athens County, the People's Republic of Athens,
(06:48):
to get together with family. We lived out. Grandpa was
a farmer and he did a lot of his he
grew his own food, lived to be ninety six. And
Grandma was just the classic church lady. But we had
family traditions like Sunday get together, celebrating holidays, and we
stuck to those family traditions. We didn't take anything for granted.
For me and probably for many of our listeners, and
(07:10):
perhaps for you. A family vacation in the seventies and
early eighties was in a car and drove someplace like
Virginia Beach or the Smoky Mountains. Remember we'd call it
the Smoky Mountains. No, yes, I don't think they call
it that anymore. I don't think you referred to it
as going out to the Smokies.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
No, it's the two carcinogenic.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And having a new car was a big deal. Like
you remembered the.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
New car, smell, the new car.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
But a new car come into the house. It was like, man,
dad's killing it this year. You know, your dad's killing
it this year. And it was almost like bringing home
an adopted child. It was a big deal. That was
life in the Midwest working class in the seventies and eighties,
at least what I experienced. I appreciated what we had.
(07:55):
I didn't pay attention to what others had. I just didn't.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
It just wasn't It wasn't of interest to me.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It just it seems to be such a big deal
now people now with their curated social media and Facebook
and Instagram, look at me. Yeah right, We didn't have
any of that stuff, So we just didn't. There wasn't
really this compare contrast.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
There wasn't this voyeurism.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
But the men of my family worked, and the men
of your family our listeners. They worked in the nineteen seventies,
and I looked up to them like a boy should
look up to his uncles. All military, pretty much all
of them were military, and then came back into blue
collar work or in law enforcement, and then those jobs
(08:40):
moved to China. We give most favored nation trading status
to China Mexico. Let's talk about China. The idea of
what was sold to us was, We're going to open
up China. We're going to open up There're billions of
people to buy our stuff, like, oh awesome is that?
(09:01):
And we're going to make China more like us? Well,
how'd that work out? Shared Brown, who's been in electro
politics since nineteen seventy five when this all took place,
how's that working out for you? We let cheaper steal
into the United States from China, which almost overnight plants closed,
jobs gone. And after the break, I want to specifically
(09:24):
talk about Shared Brown's Ohio and I want to talk
about the Democrat playbook that they have been running on
the American people, any establishment been running on the American people,
and this election it can't get here fast enough. Hey,
thanks for joining us. It can always catch our show
(09:47):
on Spotify. You can catch us on Apple, iTunes, podcasts,
the Purple podcast button on your iPhone, and the iHeartMedia app.
Get all the whole collection of the iHeart media personalities.
We are talking about Shared Brown's Ohio and Shared Brown,
(10:07):
of course is running for reelection. He wants a vote
of confidence, putting back and back in the Senate for
another six years, and no one knows really anything about
shared brown.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Shared brown, more of the same. We'll talk.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
We're going to I promise we're going to educate you
on shared brown. It's not going to take very long.
There's not much there. But I want to share my
experiences growing up in Ohio in the seventies and eighties,
and I have a feeling that many many of our
listeners across Ohio have similarly shared experience. Republic Steel once
(10:48):
the country's third largest steel producer, Republic Steel, But do
you have us Steel? Obviously was the mac Daddy Bethlehem Steele.
Sure Republic would have been third. Republic Steel is from
Youngstown now Youngstown back in the day was the place
to be. Youngstown awesome and Youngstown. And you just take
(11:13):
for instance, Republic Steel founded at the turn of the century,
last century. It was the backbone of the Ohio, backbone
of the Midwest, backbone of the United States. The steel
that went into World War Two, the steel that went
into automotive.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
To some except the military during the various build ups.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Sure do you know where Republic Steel is now?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
That would be six feet down.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
It's now owned by Grouppo Simec if I'm pronouncing it correctly,
a Mexican corporation based in Guadalajara. All right, General Motors, Ford,
Fisher Body Remember where the Fisher Body plant on the
west side of Columbus Delphi Automotive Parts off short quote
off shot, what's another word for offshot?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
That would be said to other countries.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
We're gonna rip your dad and uncles and moms and
aunts jobs. We're ripping them out, and we're going to
give them to these people over here because they'll they'll
work for twelve cents an.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Hour with no pesky environmental regulations or safety regulations.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Or unions sure can't unionize. So we're going to take
this American dream that all you guys that that you
were living, that you're living. We're gonna take the American
dream that made us. This would be the politicians and
the business people from the seventies and eighties, the American
dream that made us who we are. We're going to
(12:41):
go ahead and just take your jobs and we're going
to offshore. We're gonna that's nice. We're gonna send them
over China, and we're gonna sit in Mexico. Well, that
all happened under shared Brown's watch as well, whether he
was in the state House or he was an elected
state officeholder here in Ohio, or it was a congress
or US senator. Goodyear, Firestone, be Of good Rich Manufacturing
(13:05):
moves out of Ohio, moves out of the US, Emerson Electric, Westinghouse, Hoover,
Black and Decker, Tempkin Steel, major operations in Ohio Major
gone poof.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
These were good paying jobs. Yeah, so benefits.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
When when when I when I say that the American
dream that I grew up visualizing and and and and watching,
and then I go to college, I go to law school,
and I stepped back outside. I'm like, what just happened
(13:42):
to the American economy? I mean people from now are
in these endless wars.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, people from Youngstown that they used to be able
to get off work and watch their kids play baseball
in Little League, got at the local field. Now kids
can't even be there because they're unsafe.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Appliances used to be made in Ohio like Frigid Air
and Dayton Poof gone to China. So I think, Look,
I have asked, and I've paid attention to this US
Senate race. And I've asked where are we in time
general about five minutes, five minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Five minutes in on the segment.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
So if I'm a journalist, like, what's that guy's name,
Brett Bear?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah, he the one that.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Teed up Kamala.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
He didn't try to, he revealed her put it that way.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
So, look, this is pretty straightforward. To bring jobs back
to Ohio in the Midwest, you can call it reshoring
if you want. I say, tax incentives for companies that
relocate their manufacturing operations back.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
In Ohio and tariffs for those who don't.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Tax credits to you come in and create jobs in Ohio.
You're going to get tax credits. Guess what, You're not
gonna have to pay Uncle Sam so much you want
to build new manufacturing facilities, tax credit right on your
right on your return. You don't have to pay Uncle
Sam so much. How about some grants or low interest
loans for companies to build or modernize factories in Ohio
(15:10):
to help offset those higher labor costs compared to the
near slave labor of China. Grants or low interest loans,
We're doing more than that too. That global panhandler Zelenski.
But we're not putting this money here where we need it.
(15:31):
We need made in America policies. We need to strengthen
buy American. This needs to be we need to send
this to Madison Avenue and you. It should almost when
I when I go into a store and I look
at something and it's if it says made in China,
we should be putting that thing back. We need to
create a culture where you just don't buy stuff from
(15:56):
China or you or Mexico. You buy things made in America.
So we need to get Madison Avenue working. We need
to create the culture of made in America, by American
and to reinforce that. As long as the government is
the biggest lender and giver away or of money, how
(16:16):
about some government contracts to prioritize American made goods. This
is guaranteed demand. Just like the arms manufacturers get with
our neocona neoliberal endless wars, do the same thing with
manufacturing our federal government. Although the libertarian part of me
kind of gets a little wobbly on this one, the
(16:39):
federal government does need to invest in upgrading infrastructure like roads,
the Great Lakes Ports, broadband in the Midwest, instead of
the billions that we're sending to millions of illegals, where
we are attracting them, re routing them, bringing them in
close to the border, are flying them in, putting them
(17:01):
on buses, hotels, vouchers, debit cards, cell phones, room service.
How about we take that same money, cut it off
from George Soros and the NGOs. We'll talk about them
in a second. Cut that off executive Order day one,
day one, and invest in advanced manufacturing technologies, automation, AI, robotics. Well,
(17:24):
who's going to run that stuff?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Or how about just getting out of the way of
those things?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I think I think in light of the fact that
the I don't think we can do that. I think
the federal government has created such a regulatory mess.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
That's what I mean. Get rid of the regulatory regulation.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
We need. We need new rags to get rid of
the old rags. But we need to do what we
we the federal government. We have a lot of money,
and we need to stay competitive with low wage countries.
How increase productivity and efficiency? Our urban schools at a disaster.
(18:01):
They're just fourteen, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen year old kids in
our urban schools that we know that's a pipeline straight
to juvie court or prison. How about we take reroute
more billions and put them into get these kids when
they're catch them at fourteen high tech manufacturing skills. Pay
(18:23):
apprenticeships to teach robotics, machining, advanced engineering. You know what,
Create corporate training camps, just like we the military does.
Catch a fourteen year old kid who is kind of
circling to drain, you know, you can teach that kid
to do robotics and machining and advanced engineering.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Absolutely, you got to find what they're fascinated by first, Well, you.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Know what they're fascinating with money, Pay the interns. Let's
pay them to teach them and get them, reroute them.
Get them out of wherever they are Saint Louis, Columbus, Cleveland,
San Francisco, Chicago, Date and whatever, and move them to
the heartland, move them out into the big sky country
and teach them. Get them on these on these kind
(19:11):
of like a vocational camps.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I would even invest in hiring a bunch of linebackers
from college who didn't make the NFL to be the teachers, right.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Right right, think outside the box be creative. So if
if the state of the American economy was our body,
we need to focus on our core and our low
posterior chain and stop doing buys and tries and caps.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Get back to the basis.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
So here we are the balance of powers tipping one
way or the other based upon the US Senate race.
Here in Ohio, the most expensive eluck in the country
right now is shared Brown, who wants a vote of
confidence to go back for his fourth term.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I think it's actually his eightieth term.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
And US Senate and he's been in electoral politics since
seventy four seventy five. He graduated from Yale with a
degree in Russian studies. Russian studies.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
When they were back when it should have been Soviet studies.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Actually, yeah, I'm not sure what's going on there. I mean,
you know, you're from Mansfield, You go to Yale and
you study Russian studies. It doesn't many sense. You graduate
from Yale and you he immediately wants to get into politics.
That's fine. I got no problems with that, But man,
(20:55):
did you not study American history?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
We taught history at OSU Mansfield for like eight years
or something like that.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
You don't it's not a career, dude, it's not a
full time job in perpetuity. Had you studied American history,
you would know that instead of the history of czars,
you would know get in get out term elements get in,
get out, Shared, We don't want you, run you. I'm
(21:26):
sure you're a My guess is Shared Brown is a
likable guy. He's probably one of those self deprecating types
of guys. Where's the rumpled suit? Is rumpled a word?
It is rumpled suit? No none fit well, just kind
of thing. And he's probably just one of those guys.
(21:47):
It's like, all right, time to go, long time ago,
time to go. What I would say to someone who
wants this job, Bernie Marino, Shared Brown, Here's what I say, Ohio,
we are a hardy stock of German, Scotch, Irish, Scandinavian, Polish, Czech, Slovak,
(22:09):
Italian and Greek. We have two thousand years of quote
working blood running through our veins. We are hardwired to work.
When we can't work, we go down the tubes. We
abuse alcohol and other drugs. We self medicate and potato
chips bybe you So, I want to hear some innovation.
(22:32):
I want to hear whatever has been happening since the
mid seventies when Shared Brown arrived on the scene. I
don't want more of that. I want We've talked about
some tax credits, tax incentives, business regulations. How about partnerships
with local colleges and create programs specifically designed to meet
(22:54):
the needs of modern manufacturers. How about some federal incentives
for companies to source their raw materials and components in
the US, in the Midwest, in the Heartland, in Ohio.
We need to make sure that pharmaceuticals, electronics, and rare
earth minerals not only are made here, mind here, but
(23:17):
stored here. I can't find anything on Shared around about
this stuff. I can't find anything about Shared Brown talking
about anti dumping regulations. If I was the Senator from Ohio,
I can guarantee you my people would know what the
hell anti dumping regulations are. You know what dumping is.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
It's where you put the trash.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
It's where foreign countries sell goods below costs. To undermine
US industries exactly. Someone has not been paying attention to
the dashboard, and this has been particularly harmful to industries
like steam and automotive parts and manufacturing in the Midwest
to my family at your family, our listeners, families, aunts, uncles, cousins,
(24:10):
you get it, moms and dads. As it relates to tariffs,
it's not a bad word. Import regulations, that's fine. Let's
make sure that what we need for national security is here,
and let's make sure that there's no dumping and undermine
our business, undermine our jobs. We need increased funding for
(24:33):
R and D and biotech advanced manufacturing. Ohio can be
a leader in emerging industries and help create high tech
manufacturing jobs. Intel. Did Shared Brown have anything to do
with Intel?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I think that was our Republican governor and lieutenant governor
did that? I think it was our Chamber of commerce.
Where was Shared Brown? I can't find anything that he
wants to support tax breaks and re douce the regulatory
environment for easing startups and small businesses in manufacturing, tech
(25:07):
and construction. We have a bed shortage, we have a
housing shortage. Well, you can't build right now because you've
got to have x percent set aside for low income housing.
And it does the math doesn't work, the law of
supplying to man, it just doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
How about we get rid of people with low incomes
by giving them a job, giving them a good paying
job like we used to have yeap.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
So one of my favorite words is vapid offering nothing
that is stimulating.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Or challenging, sort of like that Harris Bear interview.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah, and Shared Brown again. I've never met the guy,
never talked to the guy. I'm not sure I've heard him.
I asked our program director. He said, has Shared Brown
ever been on our station? I mean, he's running for
reelection here in Ohio and this is the one of
the largest am antennas right in the middle of Ohio.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
This is the blowtorch for a while, blow torch.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
He's not here, his stick is up. Uh. And it's
almost as bad as Kamala wanted to legalize marijuana and
offer cash to the black community to get votes. I mean,
how appalling is this? How appalling is this? So yeah,
we can look at what Kamala has done. Uh, And
(26:23):
we can look at California, San Francisco specifically general who's
left San Francisco Meta x or Twitter, Snap, PayPal, air DNB,
Tesla Slack Salesforce. Uh yeah, I think Tesla, right, So
that's San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
A lot of a lot of human excrement leaves San
Francisco and it rains, It all goes down into the Bay.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Right, and what fills that crime? Take a look at Chicago, Caterpillar, Boeing, Tyson, Stillantis,
United Airlines all left Chicago. Why look at the policies,
Look at environment that these the far left has done.
They're ruining cities. And Shared Brown, who betrays himself as
(27:10):
a champion of the common worker and an adversary to
corporate interest, you look at a close you do a
closer analysis of his legislative record and policy positions, that
many of his actions have in fact harmed the very
constituency he claims to defend, the same people that he
wants to vote to putting back in office. Now, let
(27:33):
me mention one other thing. Did you know that he's
related to Charlie Brown?
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I did not know that Lucy would pull the ball away.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
From to Charlie Brown. Shared Brown's brother, Charlie was the
Attorney General of West Virginia from eighty five to eighty nine.
Didn't know that. We've already mentioned that Shared graduated from Yale.
Our listeners already know how we feel about the IVS.
They were great until the long march through the institutions.
(28:05):
And he graduates in seventy four from law school or
from college. What do you do when you're graduating college.
I'm gonna run for State Rep. Okay, I have no
problems with that. Go go participate, Go run for state Rep.
Get in, get out. Well, he runs for state Rep.
Low paying job in the seventies, and at the same
(28:28):
time he goes back to school, comes a Buckeye. He
gets a Master's of Arts degree in education in seventy
nine and a master's in public administration at OSU and
eighty one. So he's kind of like waiting, biting his time.
It looks like from seventy four to eighty two, you're
a Yale grad and you're not getting picked up by
(28:52):
Corporate America or whatever. UNI kind of wonder to kind
of wonder what's going on here? How does he Yeale
grad not get a job? He runs for state Rep,
goes back to university, gets more degrees, and then says,
I'm going to run for secretary of state first state
of Ohio. What who?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Why?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
What's a step We all know secretary of State's a
stepping stone position. Sharon wanted to be governor. There's no
doubt in my mind. He wanted to be governor, but
he lost to Bob Taft. But he was Secretary State
for Ohio from eighty two to ninety. He wanted to
be governor. Bob Taft beat him to it, and Brown
meanwhile was living in Mansfield. But he but he's getting
(29:35):
crushed in electoral politics because he's far left. Where do
you go. You go to the Cleveland area where there
are a lot more Democrats. So he moves to Lorraine,
Ohio to run for Congress in ninety two, and he's
never left the Imperial City since. What in the world
(29:58):
study American history, not Russian history. S here, welcome back.
We're talking about shared Brown, Kamala, Harris, the people versus
the machine. Half the country woke up in the last
four years to what's really going on, and then the
(30:22):
other half of the country woke up the summer when Biden,
their predictable coup took out Biden. And then the machine
is stuck and Kamala is the only person there that
is going to work. And now they're deeply regretting that.
What Brett I have an issue with Brett Bear's interview,
(30:42):
and I do want to get back to Shared Brown.
I want to know from Kamala Harris and Shared Brown,
why won't you unleash American energy to drive down our
energy prices? Why won't you massively reduce government regulations to
encourage American businesses to invest in our people. Why won't
(31:09):
you Shareed and Kamala create a talk about creating a
tax environment that rewards success, doesn't penalize it. Forty percent
of Americans don't pay taxes.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
And there's an easy answer to that, because those are
all Bernie Morino's policies.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Sixty percent are you reading my notes? Sixty percent of
Americans pay taxes, and we're the ones that are footing
the bill, not just for America, but all the other
countries that we're subsidizing. We're getting punished. If you add
up just on the income side, your federal, state, and local,
(31:51):
I'll tell you my marginal tax rate. You add those
things three things up, it's forty three point five percent.
I want to know from Kamala and Shared Brown, why
haven't you figured out how to reward companies that bring
jobs back to Ohio, bring back, bring jobs back to America.
I want to hear from Shared Brown, why haven't you
(32:15):
done something in the Senate to stop paying people not
to work? Stop paying people not to work. We have
a lot of able bodied people that continue to get
federal and state assistance. That's horrible for our country. So
(32:35):
if there's no other reason to retire Shared Brown to
private life, it's the If there's no other reason than this,
this should solve this election here in Ohio. And it's
(32:56):
when citizen legislators like Shared Brown serve the public for
a long period of time, decades, fifty years. The longer
they are there, like Shared Brown, they become disconnected from
the people they're meant to represent. They are living in
(33:17):
and dining with, and paling around with a concentration of
power and small group of long serving lawmakers that are
entrenched in the Imperial City. We have career politicians of
twenty thirty, forty or fifty years that never studied American
(33:39):
history because Shared studied Russian history. That you don't. That's
not the way America is set up. You get in,
you serve, you leave. For instance, Bernie Marino is specifically
said two terms. I'm coming in for two terms. That's it.
So you when when someone like Shared Brown spends decades
(34:03):
in Washington, DC, you have to become insulated inside that
new political culture that's disconnected from the folks of Ohio.
You're surrounded by lobbyist donors and fellow political elites, not
HVAC and plumbers and local lawyers and doctors and.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Pop.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Right, there's a disconnect. And look, Shared probably entered politics
with good intentions, but after fifty years he is now
part of the very system that he was probably that
he was elected to change, and he wants to.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Go back folks. Bread goes stale.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Yes, experience, there's institutional experience can be beneficial, but that
is substantially outweighed by the concentration of power in the
hands of a few long serving politicians like Shared Brown.
Just I just really struggle why Shared Brown wouldn't step aside,
(35:09):
Just say, just wouldn't step aside and say, you know what,
I've been doing this for fifty years.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
I'm out. Time to take some time on the beach, yes, right,
go up to the lake, right right, I mean, enjoy
the grandkids.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
It's total stagnation. So in researching for the show, I
go look for stuff on Shared Brown. I can't find anything.
I can't find anything. I just can't. He's you know
what he is. He is an automatic vote for the
far left. That's what he is. And I'm looking for
(35:45):
a metaphor and analogy. I'm not sure what it is.
And in general, you're good at this stuff. But the America,
shared Brown, mister Brown, because you studied Russian history at Yale,
not American histy our founding fathers envisioned a government in
which citizens like you and me would serve temporarily and
(36:08):
then return to private life, get back to it. The
idea of a permanent political class was exactly the reason
why we had our revolution. George Washington set the president
precedent for term limits by voluntarily stepping down after two terms,
even though there were no constitutional limits at the time.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
People wanted him to stay.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Why don't you just voluntarily step down, shared Brown. And
had you studied American history, you would know that a
healthy democracy requires a constant infusion of new leadership, and
we don't have that with him. You know, he's like
a parade maker. You know what a parademaker is. It's
(36:52):
like that old person. It's like that person that drives
in the car like ten miles behind the lower than
a speed limit, and everyone's backed up. That's what he is.
So someone who's been in politics for nearly fifty years
needs to retire. When he entered the electoral politics, we
(37:15):
didn't have the opioid crisis, we didn't have job automation,
we didn't have these healthcare challenges. When he entered electoral
office in nineteen seventy five, things have changed so much.
And I go look online and do some research. How
chat GPT couldn't get fined much on this guy? What
has he been doing? So I look at his financials. Well,
(37:36):
maybe the guy's just been helping himself and becoming a
quiet little multi multimillionaire. I don't see that either. I
don't know what he's doing. He's not even been taking graft,
I mean, you know, to his benefit. So look, no
one individual, no one citizen, should have a lifetime hold
(37:58):
on power. And is the responsibility of us, the voters,
to ensure that our representatives remain accountable to us and
in touch with us and bring fresh ideas. And Chared
Brown just doesn't. He's just not there. It's time to go.
If there's no other reason to vote for Bernie Marino.
(38:22):
It's to retire Shared Brown. It's time to go. It's
time to go. How are we doing on time? Is
it time for us to go? No, we got about
a minute left. General thoughts. I told you going into
the show we were going to talk about Chared Brown
because we've never talked about the man. There's been nothing
to talk about.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Well, no one ever talks about him because there's just
nothing there to really talk about. He's sort of the
gray man. He's burrowed into the side of the tree
and has stayed there all this time. I mean, what
can we do?
Speaker 1 (38:54):
He burrowed into the tree. Oh, I know what I
want to mention real quick before we break. Did you
know I'm gonna go back in time here a little bit.
Do you know that I'm not gonna get I'm talking
about gold and money. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
confuse everything, all right? Anyway, thanks for listening. Uh vote
(39:14):
for Bernie Marino. If for nothing else, it's it's Shared
Brown's been in office for fifty years. It's time to
go go ahead and retire. To men, Thank you Shared
for your years of service. I wish you could have
done a little bit more and keep manufacturing here in Ohio.
I wish you could have done a little bit more
on our border and its immigration stuff. I wish you
(39:35):
could have done a little bit more on business regulations.
I wish you could have done a little bit more
on on tax policy.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Keeping men out of women's bathroom, yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
You know, but anyway, thank thank you. Shared time to go,
General Mike's song.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It is are you ready to go? Always do? Why
would do anything?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Hey? Thanks, thanks for tuning in again. This is for
the defense of the American people. I am Attorney Brad Coffel.
That is Attorney Eric Willison, affectionately known as Snarkmaster General.
And a tip of the hat to our sponsor, Chezron
Automotive Group. Love those guys. We'll talk about them a
little bit later in the show. Wow. Uh, General, there's
(00:36):
this middle class candidate who wants to be president.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
And to be fair, she probably did graduate somewhere in
the middle of her class.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I'm watching this middle class candidate do all the right things.
It's a perfectly run campaign. Oh, certainly, she has tremendous
depth of knowledge on foreign and domestic issues.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
A very pleasing laugh.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Very It's just it's kind of one of those laughs
that just warms you up.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yes, yes, like like a hot apple cider sure in.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
The fall with a lot of alcohol in it.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
General, did you watch the Al Smith dinner and Trump
take the stage?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Yes? I did, Holy cow, wouldn't have missed it.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I almost missed it. Buddy of mine. Buddy of mine
texted me FaceTime me give any friends that just FaceTime
you instead of calling you.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I pick typically don't pick up a FaceTime request.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
I maybe just in your only you have an only
fans page.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I had to get rid of it.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It's just too much work. Well you can spend all
the money you were making on your only fans. No
you can't.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
And all these these eighteen year old girls calling you
all the time, I'll.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Stop, Okay, all right, so I get a FaceTime. Last night,
Michelle and I were just we had a little bit
of later evening and I'm I'm home. We've got the fire,
we've got our dogs in the couch. Of course, the
kids are gone off to college, and it's the fall,
the crisp, cool air. I'm like, man, this is nice.
(02:08):
What a nice relaxing evening. We've got the The Indians
are playing the Who the Indians, Oh Indians Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I thought they changed their name. Now they're just oh,
just their Indians now they don't they took off the
Cleveland Park Good the.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Cleveland Engines, and the Yankees Instant Classic. Last night. I've
seen you kind of figure out when we're you know,
we're recording the show. But I get this FaceTime from
a dear friend of mine said, are you watching the
Al Smith Dinner? I'm like, holy cow, I totally forgot.
We jump on rewind watch it from the beginning. Wow, guys,
(02:45):
if you haven't seen this yet, make sure you go
on the YouTube's and type in Trump Al Smith Dinner
and it's it's been going on since nineteen forty five.
It's to raise money for Catholic charities there in New
York City and in order to keep expenses down, physical responsibility. Sure,
it's held at the.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Waldorf, Yes, the Waldorf Astoria. And he's doing all this
standing right next to Chuck shueh oh.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
It is absolutely priceless. I can't wait to watch it again.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Kamala, Kamala something skips it? Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Who are the thirty year old thirty two year olds
that are running her campaign into the ground? Thank you
first of all for all the missteps. And you know what,
while we're at it, Democrat Party, thanks for anointing Kamala Harris.
Is it still too late to bring Joe Biden back?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
That's what people are wondering right now.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
You saw a little lobbying going on at Ethel Kennedy's funeral.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, I think that Kamala had to change the air
in her tires last night so she couldn't make it.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I am just blown away. I in general, look, I
want to I want to get into this middle class
business of Kamala Harris in all sincerity. And we're going
to talk about Shared Brown today, which let me give
you a little trailer, a little sizzle reel on Shared Brown.
(04:17):
I know almost nothing about the guy. I knew almost
nothing about him, and he's been in Ohio electoral politics
for fifty.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Years, since nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Fifty years. We're going to spend a lot of time
on mister Brown. But first we've got to go. We
have to just talk about the machine and it getting
exposed with the coup on Joe Biden and then this
Kamala Harris and now you got the Biden Clinton machine.
(04:52):
When those two they don't they hate. Those two camps
hate each other. From what I understand, Well.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
The Obama Clinton machine too.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, Democrat party is just getting blasted. It's just it's
getting adomized. Now she starts with being a middle class
grew up in a middle class family. Is that kind
of her meme?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
That's her oft repeated statements.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I grew up in the middle class. I think you
did you grow up? Do you consider yourself in middle
class when you grew up?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I would say, maybe, yeah, middle class?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Were you hedging up or down there?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
A tiny bit up? Maybe it just depends. I mean,
my stepfather was a doctor. My dad lived in Upper Arlington.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
So oh you well, you backslid in a big way,
didn't you know?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Oh yes, the right out there.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Now you're in a van down by the.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
River, absolutely by the the fision's good.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
A nice fan too steamed up. I will tell you
I am a product of the Heartland. I was born
in nineteen sixty eight. I spent the seventies and eighties
in Ohio. Spent all my life in Ohio. But the
men that I looked up to, my cousins, my uncles.
(06:04):
My dad died when I was a little boy, just
nine years old. But man, I grew up in mice time.
The Coffels were up in the up in the Steel
Country right and Columbiana County right on, you know, forty
five minutes from Pittsburgh. Growing up middle class was a blessing.
(06:25):
We have the values of hard work. We learned how
to get by. We learned how to be grateful and
really the importance of family meals, home cook family meals,
family traditions like Sunday get togethers. Like on my mom's
side of the family, it felt like we were always
driving down to Athens County, the People's Republic of Athens,
(06:48):
to get together with family. We lived out. Grandpa was
a farmer and he did a lot of his he
grew his own food, lived to be ninety six. And
Grandma was just the classic church lady. But we had
family traditions like Sunday get together, celebrating holidays, and we
stuck to those family traditions. We didn't take anything for granted.
For me and probably for many of our listeners, and
(07:10):
perhaps for you. A family vacation in the seventies and
early eighties was in a car and drove someplace like
Virginia Beach or the Smoky Mountains. Remember we'd call it
the Smoky Mountains. No, yes, I don't think they call
it that anymore. I don't think you referred to it
as going out to the Smokies.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
No, it's the two carcinogenic.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And having a new car was a big deal. Like
you remembered the.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
New car, smell, the new car.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
But a new car come into the house. It was like, man,
dad's killing it this year. You know, your dad's killing
it this year. And it was almost like bringing home
an adopted child. It was a big deal. That was
life in the Midwest working class in the seventies and eighties,
at least what I experienced. I appreciated what we had.
(07:55):
I didn't pay attention to what others had. I just didn't.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
It just wasn't It wasn't of interest to me.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It just it seems to be such a big deal
now people now with their curated social media and Facebook
and Instagram, look at me. Yeah right, We didn't have
any of that stuff, So we just didn't. There wasn't
really this compare contrast.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
There wasn't this voyeurism.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
But the men of my family worked, and the men
of your family our listeners. They worked in the nineteen seventies,
and I looked up to them like a boy should
look up to his uncles. All military, pretty much all
of them were military, and then came back into blue
collar work or in law enforcement, and then those jobs
(08:40):
moved to China. We give most favored nation trading status
to China Mexico. Let's talk about China. The idea of
what was sold to us was, We're going to open
up China. We're going to open up There're billions of
people to buy our stuff, like, oh awesome is that?
(09:01):
And we're going to make China more like us? Well,
how'd that work out? Shared Brown, who's been in electro
politics since nineteen seventy five when this all took place,
how's that working out for you? We let cheaper steal
into the United States from China, which almost overnight plants closed,
jobs gone. And after the break, I want to specifically
(09:24):
talk about Shared Brown's Ohio and I want to talk
about the Democrat playbook that they have been running on
the American people, any establishment been running on the American people,
and this election it can't get here fast enough. Hey,
thanks for joining us. It can always catch our show
(09:47):
on Spotify. You can catch us on Apple, iTunes, podcasts,
the Purple podcast button on your iPhone, and the iHeartMedia app.
Get all the whole collection of the iHeart media personalities.
We are talking about Shared Brown's Ohio and Shared Brown,
(10:07):
of course is running for reelection. He wants a vote
of confidence, putting back and back in the Senate for
another six years, and no one knows really anything about
shared brown.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Shared brown, more of the same. We'll talk.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
We're going to I promise we're going to educate you
on shared brown. It's not going to take very long.
There's not much there. But I want to share my
experiences growing up in Ohio in the seventies and eighties,
and I have a feeling that many many of our
listeners across Ohio have similarly shared experience. Republic Steel once
(10:48):
the country's third largest steel producer, Republic Steel, But do
you have us Steel? Obviously was the mac Daddy Bethlehem Steele.
Sure Republic would have been third. Republic Steel is from
Youngstown now Youngstown back in the day was the place
to be. Youngstown awesome and Youngstown. And you just take
(11:13):
for instance, Republic Steel founded at the turn of the century,
last century. It was the backbone of the Ohio, backbone
of the Midwest, backbone of the United States. The steel
that went into World War Two, the steel that went
into automotive.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
To some except the military during the various build ups.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Sure do you know where Republic Steel is now?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
That would be six feet down.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
It's now owned by Grouppo Simec if I'm pronouncing it correctly,
a Mexican corporation based in Guadalajara. All right, General Motors, Ford,
Fisher Body Remember where the Fisher Body plant on the
west side of Columbus Delphi Automotive Parts off short quote
off shot, what's another word for offshot?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
That would be said to other countries.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
We're gonna rip your dad and uncles and moms and
aunts jobs. We're ripping them out, and we're going to
give them to these people over here because they'll they'll
work for twelve cents an.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Hour with no pesky environmental regulations or safety regulations.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Or unions sure can't unionize. So we're going to take
this American dream that all you guys that that you
were living, that you're living. We're gonna take the American
dream that made us. This would be the politicians and
the business people from the seventies and eighties, the American
dream that made us who we are. We're going to
(12:41):
go ahead and just take your jobs and we're going
to offshore. We're gonna that's nice. We're gonna send them
over China, and we're gonna sit in Mexico. Well, that
all happened under shared Brown's watch as well, whether he
was in the state House or he was an elected
state officeholder here in Ohio, or it was a congress
or US senator. Goodyear, Firestone, be Of good Rich Manufacturing
(13:05):
moves out of Ohio, moves out of the US, Emerson Electric, Westinghouse, Hoover,
Black and Decker, Tempkin Steel, major operations in Ohio Major
gone poof.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
These were good paying jobs. Yeah, so benefits.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
When when when I when I say that the American
dream that I grew up visualizing and and and and watching,
and then I go to college, I go to law school,
and I stepped back outside. I'm like, what just happened
(13:42):
to the American economy? I mean people from now are
in these endless wars.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, people from Youngstown that they used to be able
to get off work and watch their kids play baseball
in Little League, got at the local field. Now kids
can't even be there because they're unsafe.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Appliances used to be made in Ohio like Frigid Air
and Dayton Poof gone to China. So I think, Look,
I have asked, and I've paid attention to this US
Senate race. And I've asked where are we in time
general about five minutes, five minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Five minutes in on the segment.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
So if I'm a journalist, like, what's that guy's name,
Brett Bear?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah, he the one that.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Teed up Kamala.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
He didn't try to, he revealed her put it that way.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
So, look, this is pretty straightforward. To bring jobs back
to Ohio in the Midwest, you can call it reshoring
if you want. I say, tax incentives for companies that
relocate their manufacturing operations back.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
In Ohio and tariffs for those who don't.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Tax credits to you come in and create jobs in Ohio.
You're going to get tax credits. Guess what, You're not
gonna have to pay Uncle Sam so much you want
to build new manufacturing facilities, tax credit right on your
right on your return. You don't have to pay Uncle
Sam so much. How about some grants or low interest
loans for companies to build or modernize factories in Ohio
(15:10):
to help offset those higher labor costs compared to the
near slave labor of China. Grants or low interest loans,
We're doing more than that too. That global panhandler Zelenski.
But we're not putting this money here where we need it.
(15:31):
We need made in America policies. We need to strengthen
buy American. This needs to be we need to send
this to Madison Avenue and you. It should almost when
I when I go into a store and I look
at something and it's if it says made in China,
we should be putting that thing back. We need to
create a culture where you just don't buy stuff from
(15:56):
China or you or Mexico. You buy things made in America.
So we need to get Madison Avenue working. We need
to create the culture of made in America, by American
and to reinforce that. As long as the government is
the biggest lender and giver away or of money, how
(16:16):
about some government contracts to prioritize American made goods. This
is guaranteed demand. Just like the arms manufacturers get with
our neocona neoliberal endless wars, do the same thing with
manufacturing our federal government. Although the libertarian part of me
kind of gets a little wobbly on this one, the
(16:39):
federal government does need to invest in upgrading infrastructure like roads,
the Great Lakes Ports, broadband in the Midwest, instead of
the billions that we're sending to millions of illegals, where
we are attracting them, re routing them, bringing them in
close to the border, are flying them in, putting them
(17:01):
on buses, hotels, vouchers, debit cards, cell phones, room service.
How about we take that same money, cut it off
from George Soros and the NGOs. We'll talk about them
in a second. Cut that off executive Order day one,
day one, and invest in advanced manufacturing technologies, automation, AI, robotics. Well,
(17:24):
who's going to run that stuff?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Or how about just getting out of the way of
those things?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I think I think in light of the fact that
the I don't think we can do that. I think
the federal government has created such a regulatory mess.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
That's what I mean. Get rid of the regulatory regulation.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
We need. We need new rags to get rid of
the old rags. But we need to do what we
we the federal government. We have a lot of money,
and we need to stay competitive with low wage countries.
How increase productivity and efficiency? Our urban schools at a disaster.
(18:01):
They're just fourteen, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen year old kids in
our urban schools that we know that's a pipeline straight
to juvie court or prison. How about we take reroute
more billions and put them into get these kids when
they're catch them at fourteen high tech manufacturing skills. Pay
(18:23):
apprenticeships to teach robotics, machining, advanced engineering. You know what,
Create corporate training camps, just like we the military does.
Catch a fourteen year old kid who is kind of
circling to drain, you know, you can teach that kid
to do robotics and machining and advanced engineering.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Absolutely, you got to find what they're fascinated by first, Well, you.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Know what they're fascinating with money, Pay the interns. Let's
pay them to teach them and get them, reroute them.
Get them out of wherever they are Saint Louis, Columbus, Cleveland,
San Francisco, Chicago, Date and whatever, and move them to
the heartland, move them out into the big sky country
and teach them. Get them on these on these kind
(19:11):
of like a vocational camps.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I would even invest in hiring a bunch of linebackers
from college who didn't make the NFL to be the teachers, right.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Right right, think outside the box be creative. So if
if the state of the American economy was our body,
we need to focus on our core and our low
posterior chain and stop doing buys and tries and caps.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Get back to the basis.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
So here we are the balance of powers tipping one
way or the other based upon the US Senate race.
Here in Ohio, the most expensive eluck in the country
right now is shared Brown, who wants a vote of
confidence to go back for his fourth term.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I think it's actually his eightieth term.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
And US Senate and he's been in electoral politics since
seventy four seventy five. He graduated from Yale with a
degree in Russian studies. Russian studies.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
When they were back when it should have been Soviet studies.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Actually, yeah, I'm not sure what's going on there. I mean,
you know, you're from Mansfield, You go to Yale and
you study Russian studies. It doesn't many sense. You graduate
from Yale and you he immediately wants to get into politics.
That's fine. I got no problems with that, But man,
(20:55):
did you not study American history?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
We taught history at OSU Mansfield for like eight years
or something like that.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
You don't it's not a career, dude, it's not a
full time job in perpetuity. Had you studied American history,
you would know that instead of the history of czars,
you would know get in get out term elements get in,
get out, Shared, We don't want you, run you. I'm
(21:26):
sure you're a My guess is Shared Brown is a
likable guy. He's probably one of those self deprecating types
of guys. Where's the rumpled suit? Is rumpled a word?
It is rumpled suit? No none fit well, just kind
of thing. And he's probably just one of those guys.
(21:47):
It's like, all right, time to go, long time ago,
time to go. What I would say to someone who
wants this job, Bernie Marino, Shared Brown, Here's what I say, Ohio,
we are a hardy stock of German, Scotch, Irish, Scandinavian, Polish, Czech, Slovak,
(22:09):
Italian and Greek. We have two thousand years of quote
working blood running through our veins. We are hardwired to work.
When we can't work, we go down the tubes. We
abuse alcohol and other drugs. We self medicate and potato
chips bybe you So, I want to hear some innovation.
(22:32):
I want to hear whatever has been happening since the
mid seventies when Shared Brown arrived on the scene. I
don't want more of that. I want We've talked about
some tax credits, tax incentives, business regulations. How about partnerships
with local colleges and create programs specifically designed to meet
(22:54):
the needs of modern manufacturers. How about some federal incentives
for companies to source their raw materials and components in
the US, in the Midwest, in the Heartland, in Ohio.
We need to make sure that pharmaceuticals, electronics, and rare
earth minerals not only are made here, mind here, but
(23:17):
stored here. I can't find anything on Shared around about
this stuff. I can't find anything about Shared Brown talking
about anti dumping regulations. If I was the Senator from Ohio,
I can guarantee you my people would know what the
hell anti dumping regulations are. You know what dumping is.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
It's where you put the trash.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
It's where foreign countries sell goods below costs. To undermine
US industries exactly. Someone has not been paying attention to
the dashboard, and this has been particularly harmful to industries
like steam and automotive parts and manufacturing in the Midwest
to my family at your family, our listeners, families, aunts, uncles, cousins,
(24:10):
you get it, moms and dads. As it relates to tariffs,
it's not a bad word. Import regulations, that's fine. Let's
make sure that what we need for national security is here,
and let's make sure that there's no dumping and undermine
our business, undermine our jobs. We need increased funding for
(24:33):
R and D and biotech advanced manufacturing. Ohio can be
a leader in emerging industries and help create high tech
manufacturing jobs. Intel. Did Shared Brown have anything to do
with Intel?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I think that was our Republican governor and lieutenant governor
did that? I think it was our Chamber of commerce.
Where was Shared Brown? I can't find anything that he
wants to support tax breaks and re douce the regulatory
environment for easing startups and small businesses in manufacturing, tech
(25:07):
and construction. We have a bed shortage, we have a
housing shortage. Well, you can't build right now because you've
got to have x percent set aside for low income housing.
And it does the math doesn't work, the law of
supplying to man, it just doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
How about we get rid of people with low incomes
by giving them a job, giving them a good paying
job like we used to have yeap.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
So one of my favorite words is vapid offering nothing
that is stimulating.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Or challenging, sort of like that Harris Bear interview.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah, and Shared Brown again. I've never met the guy,
never talked to the guy. I'm not sure I've heard him.
I asked our program director. He said, has Shared Brown
ever been on our station? I mean, he's running for
reelection here in Ohio and this is the one of
the largest am antennas right in the middle of Ohio.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
This is the blowtorch for a while, blow torch.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
He's not here, his stick is up. Uh. And it's
almost as bad as Kamala wanted to legalize marijuana and
offer cash to the black community to get votes. I mean,
how appalling is this? How appalling is this? So yeah,
we can look at what Kamala has done. Uh, And
(26:23):
we can look at California, San Francisco specifically general who's
left San Francisco Meta x or Twitter, Snap, PayPal, air DNB,
Tesla Slack Salesforce. Uh yeah, I think Tesla, right, So
that's San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
A lot of a lot of human excrement leaves San
Francisco and it rains, It all goes down into the Bay.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Right, and what fills that crime? Take a look at Chicago, Caterpillar, Boeing, Tyson, Stillantis,
United Airlines all left Chicago. Why look at the policies,
Look at environment that these the far left has done.
They're ruining cities. And Shared Brown, who betrays himself as
(27:10):
a champion of the common worker and an adversary to
corporate interest, you look at a close you do a
closer analysis of his legislative record and policy positions, that
many of his actions have in fact harmed the very
constituency he claims to defend, the same people that he
wants to vote to putting back in office. Now, let
(27:33):
me mention one other thing. Did you know that he's
related to Charlie Brown?
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I did not know that Lucy would pull the ball away.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
From to Charlie Brown. Shared Brown's brother, Charlie was the
Attorney General of West Virginia from eighty five to eighty nine.
Didn't know that. We've already mentioned that Shared graduated from Yale.
Our listeners already know how we feel about the IVS.
They were great until the long march through the institutions.
(28:05):
And he graduates in seventy four from law school or
from college. What do you do when you're graduating college.
I'm gonna run for State Rep. Okay, I have no
problems with that. Go go participate, Go run for state Rep.
Get in, get out. Well, he runs for state Rep.
Low paying job in the seventies, and at the same
(28:28):
time he goes back to school, comes a Buckeye. He
gets a Master's of Arts degree in education in seventy
nine and a master's in public administration at OSU and
eighty one. So he's kind of like waiting, biting his time.
It looks like from seventy four to eighty two, you're
a Yale grad and you're not getting picked up by
(28:52):
Corporate America or whatever. UNI kind of wonder to kind
of wonder what's going on here? How does he Yeale
grad not get a job? He runs for state Rep,
goes back to university, gets more degrees, and then says,
I'm going to run for secretary of state first state
of Ohio. What who?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Why?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
What's a step We all know secretary of State's a
stepping stone position. Sharon wanted to be governor. There's no
doubt in my mind. He wanted to be governor, but
he lost to Bob Taft. But he was Secretary State
for Ohio from eighty two to ninety. He wanted to
be governor. Bob Taft beat him to it, and Brown
meanwhile was living in Mansfield. But he but he's getting
(29:35):
crushed in electoral politics because he's far left. Where do
you go. You go to the Cleveland area where there
are a lot more Democrats. So he moves to Lorraine,
Ohio to run for Congress in ninety two, and he's
never left the Imperial City since. What in the world
(29:58):
study American history, not Russian history. S here, welcome back.
We're talking about shared Brown, Kamala, Harris, the people versus
the machine. Half the country woke up in the last
four years to what's really going on, and then the
(30:22):
other half of the country woke up the summer when Biden,
their predictable coup took out Biden. And then the machine
is stuck and Kamala is the only person there that
is going to work. And now they're deeply regretting that.
What Brett I have an issue with Brett Bear's interview,
(30:42):
and I do want to get back to Shared Brown.
I want to know from Kamala Harris and Shared Brown,
why won't you unleash American energy to drive down our
energy prices? Why won't you massively reduce government regulations to
encourage American businesses to invest in our people. Why won't
(31:09):
you Shareed and Kamala create a talk about creating a
tax environment that rewards success, doesn't penalize it. Forty percent
of Americans don't pay taxes.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
And there's an easy answer to that, because those are
all Bernie Morino's policies.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Sixty percent are you reading my notes? Sixty percent of
Americans pay taxes, and we're the ones that are footing
the bill, not just for America, but all the other
countries that we're subsidizing. We're getting punished. If you add
up just on the income side, your federal, state, and local,
(31:51):
I'll tell you my marginal tax rate. You add those
things three things up, it's forty three point five percent.
I want to know from Kamala and Shared Brown, why
haven't you figured out how to reward companies that bring
jobs back to Ohio, bring back, bring jobs back to America.
I want to hear from Shared Brown, why haven't you
(32:15):
done something in the Senate to stop paying people not
to work? Stop paying people not to work. We have
a lot of able bodied people that continue to get
federal and state assistance. That's horrible for our country. So
(32:35):
if there's no other reason to retire Shared Brown to
private life, it's the If there's no other reason than this,
this should solve this election here in Ohio. And it's
(32:56):
when citizen legislators like Shared Brown serve the public for
a long period of time, decades, fifty years. The longer
they are there, like Shared Brown, they become disconnected from
the people they're meant to represent. They are living in
(33:17):
and dining with, and paling around with a concentration of
power and small group of long serving lawmakers that are
entrenched in the Imperial City. We have career politicians of
twenty thirty, forty or fifty years that never studied American
(33:39):
history because Shared studied Russian history. That you don't. That's
not the way America is set up. You get in,
you serve, you leave. For instance, Bernie Marino is specifically
said two terms. I'm coming in for two terms. That's it.
So you when when someone like Shared Brown spends decades
(34:03):
in Washington, DC, you have to become insulated inside that
new political culture that's disconnected from the folks of Ohio.
You're surrounded by lobbyist donors and fellow political elites, not
HVAC and plumbers and local lawyers and doctors and.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Pop.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Right, there's a disconnect. And look, Shared probably entered politics
with good intentions, but after fifty years he is now
part of the very system that he was probably that
he was elected to change, and he wants to.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Go back folks. Bread goes stale.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Yes, experience, there's institutional experience can be beneficial, but that
is substantially outweighed by the concentration of power in the
hands of a few long serving politicians like Shared Brown.
Just I just really struggle why Shared Brown wouldn't step aside,
(35:09):
Just say, just wouldn't step aside and say, you know what,
I've been doing this for fifty years.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
I'm out. Time to take some time on the beach, yes, right,
go up to the lake, right right, I mean, enjoy
the grandkids.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
It's total stagnation. So in researching for the show, I
go look for stuff on Shared Brown. I can't find anything.
I can't find anything. I just can't. He's you know
what he is. He is an automatic vote for the
far left. That's what he is. And I'm looking for
(35:45):
a metaphor and analogy. I'm not sure what it is.
And in general, you're good at this stuff. But the America,
shared Brown, mister Brown, because you studied Russian history at Yale,
not American histy our founding fathers envisioned a government in
which citizens like you and me would serve temporarily and
(36:08):
then return to private life, get back to it. The
idea of a permanent political class was exactly the reason
why we had our revolution. George Washington set the president
precedent for term limits by voluntarily stepping down after two terms,
even though there were no constitutional limits at the time.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
People wanted him to stay.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Why don't you just voluntarily step down, shared Brown. And
had you studied American history, you would know that a
healthy democracy requires a constant infusion of new leadership, and
we don't have that with him. You know, he's like
a parade maker. You know what a parademaker is. It's
(36:52):
like that old person. It's like that person that drives
in the car like ten miles behind the lower than
a speed limit, and everyone's backed up. That's what he is.
So someone who's been in politics for nearly fifty years
needs to retire. When he entered the electoral politics, we
(37:15):
didn't have the opioid crisis, we didn't have job automation,
we didn't have these healthcare challenges. When he entered electoral
office in nineteen seventy five, things have changed so much.
And I go look online and do some research. How
chat GPT couldn't get fined much on this guy? What
has he been doing? So I look at his financials. Well,
(37:36):
maybe the guy's just been helping himself and becoming a
quiet little multi multimillionaire. I don't see that either. I
don't know what he's doing. He's not even been taking graft,
I mean, you know, to his benefit. So look, no
one individual, no one citizen, should have a lifetime hold
(37:58):
on power. And is the responsibility of us, the voters,
to ensure that our representatives remain accountable to us and
in touch with us and bring fresh ideas. And Chared
Brown just doesn't. He's just not there. It's time to go.
If there's no other reason to vote for Bernie Marino.
(38:22):
It's to retire Shared Brown. It's time to go. It's
time to go. How are we doing on time? Is
it time for us to go? No, we got about
a minute left. General thoughts. I told you going into
the show we were going to talk about Chared Brown
because we've never talked about the man. There's been nothing
to talk about.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Well, no one ever talks about him because there's just
nothing there to really talk about. He's sort of the
gray man. He's burrowed into the side of the tree
and has stayed there all this time. I mean, what
can we do?
Speaker 1 (38:54):
He burrowed into the tree. Oh, I know what I
want to mention real quick before we break. Did you
know I'm gonna go back in time here a little bit.
Do you know that I'm not gonna get I'm talking
about gold and money. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
confuse everything, all right? Anyway, thanks for listening. Uh vote
(39:14):
for Bernie Marino. If for nothing else, it's it's Shared
Brown's been in office for fifty years. It's time to
go go ahead and retire. To men, Thank you Shared
for your years of service. I wish you could have
done a little bit more and keep manufacturing here in Ohio.
I wish you could have done a little bit more
on our border and its immigration stuff. I wish you
(39:35):
could have done a little bit more on business regulations.
I wish you could have done a little bit more
on on tax policy.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Keeping men out of women's bathroom, yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
You know, but anyway, thank thank you. Shared time to go,
