[Kim is speaking]
[0.031 --> 4.402] for governor and running as his running mate for lieutenant governor.
[15.235 --> 31.013] We are spending more. We are being charged more. We're earning less and we're getting nothing in return. Property taxes keep on rising and there's no end in sight. And our Ohio workers are being valued as their jobs are off-shore.
[31.013 --> 45.678] potentially to places like India and China. Our local businesses, our small businesses are being crushed under the weight of corporate policies. And those policies need to change to help support small businesses continue to grow in Ohio.
[46.252 --> 75.85] One of the things that Casey has done as a businessman, as an entrepreneur, he's an engineer, and he's a builder. He knows how to fix things, right? He works with his hands. And he has provided workforce development for teenagers in this day to day life. During his non-profit agency, he helps them learn how to build cars with scratch and airplanes. And he also owns a company, a watch company, where he's taking old Swiss parts, putting them together, so he can watch it. It's pretty amazing.
[76.576 --> 103.002] So what do we need in Ohio? We need somebody who knows how to fix things. Somebody who knows how to cause an effect. Somebody who knows when things break, how to fix things. And we don't need any more talking points. And we don't need any more sobering, calm promises. So that's what Casey brings to this race. What I bring to this race is the background in business transformation, digital infrastructure, and operations.
[103.002 --> 115.692] And I've worked for companies that are large and small. And I've seen, when decisions are made, far away from the people who the consequences hit. And we know there's problems with that, that we need to fix.
[115.979 --> 137.022] So we need to make sure that we are following on what we're promising. And that's one thing that we're going to do with the background and consulting. I'll come in and we will review all of the things that are currently happening in the state of Ohio. Right now, we're seeing silence from the province regarding the small in situation. And quite frankly, the silence is deafening.
[137.022 --> 158.318] We are also saying with continued expense of all of our tax money going to things that we did not approve of. So what we're standing behind as we move into this, I will be his lieutenant governor, it's not a ceremonial position, it's an operational position. And we will make sure that we are going to follow through on abolishing the property taxes.
[158.318 --> 171.076] So our seniors do not get kicked out of their homes. And so our young people, many of whom we have here, can afford to buy homes and live in them with their families and continue on the tradition of the American family.
[171.751 --> 189.267] We want to make sure that we stop the crazy morris expansion of data centers of which we have no idea what the consequences of these are doing. And we also know that they are going to be the demise of our personal sovereignty in Christ.
[189.267 --> 204.86] Yes, we are also going to get behind those small businesses and make sure the policies are effective for small businesses. We want to make sure we restore transparency to the government of Ohio. Right now so many things are happening. I was talking to somebody in this room tonight.
[204.86 --> 224.047] taxes of the Ohio spending has increased by 60% in the past 10 years. Have your wages increased by 60%? Probably not. Did you know that Ohio ended their year on a surplus two years ago? And do you know what they did with that money instead of giving it back to Ohioans?
[224.047 --> 245.495] They spent it on their little pet products. Okay, what are those? Did you see any benefit from those? So what we want to do is make sure we are increasing transparency to everyone in the state of Ohio. The other thing that we want to do is make sure that we supercharge the mahogany today.
[245.495 --> 257.932] We want to make sure that we make Ohio healthy again. And we want to clean up our air, our land, our water, and our food. And we also want to make sure that there is medical freedom for everyone in Ohio.
[258.59 --> 285.522] So I stand here today supporting Casey Putch, and if you would like to support someone who supports the people like you, if you would like to support someone who earns the position and is not installed in the position, if you would like to support someone who has worked hard in the state of Ohio to develop their own career, someone who knows how to roll up their sleeves and do the work, someone who works with Americans,
[Kim hands it over to Casey]
[298.769 --> 326.731] support because Casey and I will put Ohio back on solid ground. Thank you and God bless. It makes my job easy. I think you see why we chose her and I'm really honored she's here. So we can talk policy to the council compound and it will certainly melt my brain in the last three weeks so I thought I would just tell you a story.
[333.515 --> 350.693] frankly really dangerous and that's announcing running for governor. So what can I promise you? My soul was on fire. My entire life looking at all of my family members that came before me. Every bit of the work.
[351.352 --> 376.31] literally the blood sweat and tears fighting and countless wars going of every struggle back to the 1800s so we all can have a better tomorrow. That's not the product. I grew up in Tiffin, Ohio about 18, 20,000 people and the little family business was a golf course. It's not like Donald Trump's golf course. It's a small town in Ohio, no sand traps.
[376.31 --> 405.79] But it created unbelievable memories from what it was created. And we worked there from sun up to sun down seven days a week. I didn't go on any vacations as a kid in the summer. We worked. And as a family, we're responsible for everything from fixing the diesel motors when it goes down, maintaining 120 acres, everything with the public, working as a kid in the snack bar, like right now, I can eat you guys drinks right now. I even had a little fire with 151 rum if you want me to. Let's see that for after.
[408.794 --> 426.783] But the thing that did for me as a young person growing up all through the years was, I don't know how many tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people I met, Ohioans. When I was a little kid, I would sit at the table with the World War II vets, the retired guys, did the milk, and they'd order a flag and a beer, a pitcher.
[426.935 --> 443.236] and sit and tell stories. And I would learn from the stories from their past and then living through the Great Depression and fighting in the wars and everything like that. And that stuck with me. But it was every button. The golf course wasn't just white collar fancy people. Yeah, sure, you'd have lawyers and doctors, but most of those blue collar guys, depending on what
[443.827 --> 469.139] So these are all the people as a kid I grew up with. And when they come to the golf course, they would talk about things. They would talk about their dreams. They would talk about their work. They would talk about their struggles. And over that time, I watched everything happen as a kid. I watched when manufacturing went out of a small town in the late 1980s, early 1980s, when I was a kid. I watched how that hurt. And maybe I didn't see it as being a kid, but I felt it from everybody being there. And we just kept growing and working over all of the years.
[469.561 --> 492.764] And I knew how the financial crisis brought on by the geniuses in Washington, B.C. back in 2009 changed a lot of things. A lot of things for a lot of people. And there was a presidential candidate who I'm not terribly fond of back in 0809 who's talking how he's going to reduel Detroit so the energy, cool, efficient cars tomorrow are built here for the sake of the nation and the world. Will that ever happen?
[492.764 --> 522.633] even though because of reckless Washington, DC, we had to bail out the automobile industry. So where's this great new thing happen? It just is more time and more time goes by. You just look around and go, people have not changed in America in 100 years. Everybody wants to build a family. They want to build a community. They want to be proud of who they are with their own culture and the blood, sweat, and toil in their roots and know that they're going to have a future. They're going to be able to afford a home. They're going to have a job. They're going to have a government that cares about their future and actually building jobs.
[522.633 --> 541.803] But that's not what we get. We get death by a thousand cuts. We get billionaires of corporations literally selling us out, buying us out, finding new ways to leverage, taking away the jobs, taking away the monies. While the bought and paid for politicians spit your face and tell you it's rain. Well, I'm not a politician. I'm not.
[542.984 --> 562.863] I went to Ohio State University, third generation there. I saw things I didn't like, it was hard for me. I built the Gena Scratch nonprofit, the 503 educational program, because I thought, you know, if I'm going to be involved with building cars and airplanes anyway from fun, why don't I do it in a way that matters? How about young people? How about the engineers get the practical skills that actually get them jobs in the health industry that school isn't doing?
[564.078 --> 593.39] You know, kids go wildly in debt for a college. Who's looking after that? 17-year-old kid and get a $100,000 a year loan for a major that won't bring them a job and destroy the future of the nation, a black hole for a university? And the government just wants to band-aid and talk about, should we forget this or that? Well, how about we fix the roof of the problem? I worked on that. Been doing it for 11 years, haven't gotten paid. Of course, I can tell you actually, Tuesday nights, I was honored in 2018. I got a lifetime achievement award from President Trump for all the hours
[600.68 --> 616.103] I got one from Joe Biden. I'm slightly more proud of the Biden one and I'll tell you why. I'm probably the only straight
[628.051 --> 643.812] You can't apply with the Air Force Thunderbirds because it's just a huge honor. Which by the way, I have to tell you, if they ever try to plant me with BS from when I flew with the Thunderbirds, don't believe them. The Air Force already did a huge background check on me. Let me fly back.
[648.183 --> 677.225] Well, lastly, I did the Omega car. That car you may have seen the Tucker Carlson show I did back early this year. That was when I was just a normie, not trying to run for anything. But I didn't like Obama. He was full of crap back then. OK? He's probably still full of crap now. But what I saw, you know, Gavin Newsom, Joe Biden, they're trying to make electric vehicle mandates. Well, we've got one that takes control of industry. It tries to take power and money from one pocket to stick in another and tell us what to do. Just destroy innovation.
[677.225 --> 694.96] So I built that car back in 2012, and I sat on it forever. And I tested it, now the year before last, because I couldn't think of a Kamala presidency. Are you kidding me? So I wanted to get the numbers and speak out for Donald Trump as president. Am I on risk?
[694.96 --> 723.007] But the car went story short, and I called it on video a long time ago. But first time out, 104 miles a gallon of diesel. That's what stopped signs and turns. Next day, beat my Dodge Viper 0 to 60 by 2 tenths of a second, and exactly matched the Tesla 3 rear wheel drive with the full charge. So that's pretty good, but the tires were 11 years old and dried out from the previous one. It'll go a little faster when I tune it. But the other thing was, the next day, I was like, hey, OK, I got some numbers here. EPA's got numbers on the carbon footprint of burning gallons of diesel and carbon footprint.
[723.007 --> 725.977] generating kilowatt hour of electricity and the national average.
[731.984 --> 756.993] when charged at home. So sorry your stupid left this narrative, we're not buying it anymore. But here's the thing, if an Ohioan could do something innovative like that, and I guarantee this whole lot of you in here have done something innovative or have a brilliant idea or want to build a business or have, why in the heck is the government not doing anything to facilitate for actual people to be able to build better tomorrow, rather just corporations that want to own this all?
[757.111 --> 785.613] Yes, sir. Why is it that we have Orville and Wilbur Wright who are bicycle mechanics? You know what I'm talking about? Built their own wind tunnel, built power flight, tested it out, stuck with it. Why is it we have that, but there's nothing for the people to actually build innovation for tomorrow? And why is it the government's not saying anything about that? Why is it the government and the people running for politicians don't talk about the horrible things like radicalized judges letting career criminals back on the streets? That's horrific. Yes, sir.
[790.76 --> 802.184] They don't talk about human and child trafficking. Heck, I know enough military guys alone, it would take nothing to put together a task force to just hunt and hunt down and target.
[820.308 --> 842.498] things happening, but if 6000 bats a year commit suicide, that's only what they report. What the hell are we doing? More people die from that than in combat? I don't think so. Those are the best and brightest. They put it all on the line. They've got to work. I think they've got the discipline. Don't tell me they don't care about our country in our future. Why the hell don't we have public works project so they can literally build a better tomorrow for us? Let them leave.
[842.498 --> 869.65] Let them learn how to teach. These are just simple things, guys. And I'm hearing a passionate about it, because I've tried, just like all of you, building businesses and struggling. My wife and I are extremely lucky. We bought our first home before the housing market shot. The only reason we get an order is because it was crazy thick, so I've been leaking in a disaster. And I looked, she wouldn't even get out of a car when we looked at her. Here's how I sold her, by the way. I walked around and thought, OK.
[872.468 --> 883.96] And I saw, and the grass was up to here. There's a pony in the backyard. So I came over and I'm like, sweet. There's a pony. That's how I saw it. We fixed it up. We have a home.
[884.332 --> 904.615] How many young people can't afford a home now already? For private equity, corporations buying the homes artificially inflating the market, the government's politicians don't say anything about it, they don't do anything about it, and meanwhile we have taxes, frankly we don't need because we have massive fraud going.
[904.615 --> 918.706] The Somali daycare stuff? Are you kidding me? I'm being a good boy and I'm using garage chalk right now. And come on! And no offense, but like, I don't think Somalia is a nation that's been in the mood
[930.586 --> 954.802] Guys, I am simply here because my soul is burning. The thing that started me on any remote thought of thinking about politics was, during the Biden years, we watched every social fabric aspect of America, our economy, how we connect as different people, coming together with good conservative American values, and our roots as Americans going back, we're just being divided.
[954.802 --> 976.705] torn apart for political leverage and gain to to no benefit of anybody natural or stuff I couldn't take that any you know and of course I support Donald Trump and this year I've been critical I have been critical at the same time too if you don't have the courage to stand up and criticize your own party or your
[986.206 --> 1011.907] same team. Our president is the leader of our nation. He is the leader of all of our military, and I do support him, period. But we have to exercise our rights, literally as Americans, to have a government that can be for the people for once. And we do it by making it by the people. And today, I guess I'm the people. But we're here together doing it. Thank God we've got him.
[1022.167 --> 1052.137] is no different than the Blue Angels or the Air Force Thunderbirds. You see the pilots, and you see a half a dozen aircraft, and that's awesome. But for the aircraft to do it, there's over 120 people working tirelessly that you never see. And we already have an unbelievable team. And I thought I'd say if you're talking too much in detail about policy, because frankly, it's been melting my brain the last three weeks. But I wanted you to know who I was and just tell a story, because we're literally in it together. Do I dream of being a politician? Oh, hell no.
[1052.137 --> 1058.313] But am I here to the bitter end for a better tomorrow? Yes!
