Do you think President Trump's low approval could actually hurt your chances with voters?

No, I don't.

And as I talk to voters around this district, I actually hear very positive comments about the president.

No taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime.

These are great common sense solutions that Republican voters love.

These policies put money back into the pockets of working class families.

And secondly, I'm a big believer that all politics are local.

Do you agree with Houston?

God bless you, Mr.

President.

Come on up.

Well, thank you again, Mr.

President, for visiting the Cincinnati, northern Kentucky area.

And as I mentioned earlier, America is on the ballot this year.

We need everyone to get out and vote in Ohio and in Kentucky to conserve and preserve our America first agenda.

We now have a Democratic Party where 60 percent of people believe in socialism.

You know, I mean, can't we all agree on that? But apparently not, Eric.

Well, I think the president in this administration has done a terrific job in securing the border.

You can just look at some of the stats and numbers down there on the border.

And what I find ironic about the whole situation is then-President Barack Obama also tried to secure the border in a very similar way, and there was really no controversy around it.

But when a Republican president does it, for some reason it's a bad thing.

I think he's doing a great job securing the border, and we're going to continue to do that because we can't let drug traffickers and sex traffickers and criminals into this country.

And we need people to immigrate in the lawful, legal way.

The education scores bear witness to this.

You know, I mean, can't we all agree on that? But apparently not, Eric.

Well, I think the president in this administration has done a terrific job in securing the border.

uh on the border and what i find ironic about the whole situation is uh then president barack obama also tried to secure the border in a very similar way and there was really no controversy around it but when a republican president does it for some reason it's a bad thing but I think he's doing a great job securing the border, and we're going to continue to do that because we can't let drug traffickers and sex traffickers and criminals into this country.

And we need people to immigrate in the lawful, legal way.

And I've got a lot of friends.

I have some friends who I served in the military with who were maybe citizens of other countries, like maybe Caribbean islands, places like that.

The education scores bear witness to this.

Thank you.

There we go.

I heard an elder shout out.

There we are.

Well, thank you, everyone, for that great welcome.

Thank you for being here today.

And thank you, Mr.

How critical are these early votes to make sure votes are banked?

Well, early votes are certainly important, and we have seen a bit of an uptick on the Republican side.

I know here in, uh, Hamilton County, where Cincinnati is located, we saw some great numbers, especially with the, uh, over 60 crowd, that they're turning out really, uh, in, in a large number, which is terrific.

And I think, you know, as Republicans have tuned into these races in September and October, they're gonna turn out, and we've had both the, the president in the area and the vice president here as well.

We've also had Speaker Johnson in town twice.

So there is really a great effort here, uh, to turn out the vote.

I think people need to come out, right? This is not l- a midterm like any other.

Your thoughts?

So tell us about yourself and why you're running.

Sure.

Well, I was born and raised here on the west side of Cincinnati in a multi-generation blue-collar family.

And, you know, one of the biggest influences I had on my life was my grandfather, who served in the Navy during World War II.

So when I was at junior high and at elder high school, 9-11 happened, and so did the war in Iraq.

And I really felt the call to serve and I want to dedicate my life to service.

And I was lucky enough to get into the Air Force Academy in Colorado.

What's your position on the war in Iran and what would you try to do about it if you were a member of Congress?

Got it

... uh, back in June, and we told all the voters about both candidates and the issues.

Sean, we had an 11-point lead in an informed ballot poll.

Uh, so this is a contrast, uh, campaign in terms of someone who's served his country honorably his whole life and someone who hasn't.

But on top of that, we do talk about the issues.

You know, affordability, uh, is gonna be the defining issue of probably this decade, uh, and the next as well.

And here locally, I talk about long-term planning, but also short-term relief.

You know, y- the thing that I find fascinating about the CIA in particular is how much that, of what you know because of your clearance and your access to information do you wish people knew? Like, like in terms of the threats that we face as a nation.

Otherwise, the economy seems to be booming, right?

The economy is booming, and I think the traditional Republican tenets of less regulation, less taxes and cheap energy is helping that happen.

And as long as we focus on those three avenues, we're going to have a booming economy.

And, you know, I've talked a lot here locally about what that looks like for us here in southwest Ohio, because I do believe affordability is the defining issue of this decade and probably the next as well.

And I think we need to think about long term planning and short term relief.

And I think that long term planning It comes in a number of different forms, but I think first and foremost, it's about finding good paths for our youth as they grow up and look for careers.

And I'm a huge advocate for trade schools.

And I don't know if they factor that in, but the money that you're bringing in.

Good to have you back in.

Hey, Brian.

Thanks for having me.

And, uh, we're about five weeks out from the election, and it's a big year here in Ohio.

We've got, uh, my race, we've got the governor's race, and the Senate race.

And I think as we move along over these next five re- weeks, we have to do exactly what you said, which is really tout the accomplishments of this party over the last two years, including a lot of those great economic accomplishments.

And I don't think we talk enough about the big beautiful bill from last year as well, in, uh, uh, in terms of no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime, and really putting money back into the pockets of working-class families.

They want to stop it in its tracks.

Good to have you back in.

Hey, Brian.

And I don't think we talk enough about the big beautiful bill from last year as well, in, uh, i- in terms of no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime, and really putting money back into the pockets of working class families.

That is really what makes our economy thrive, is getting that money back into the hands of families to spend it how they see fit.

They want to stop it in its tracks.

This is disgusting.

Yeah, and going back to Iraq, Kurdistan has successfully exported energy for quite a while and doing it very well.

And talking about Iran, they've been a thorn in our side for 50 years.

They've killed Americans, they've destabilized the Middle East, and they've destabilized energy markets as well.

And when I look at both our operations in Venezuela and Iran, i think about a domestic energy angle to these operations as well right we removed a troublesome leader in venezuela which is a very energy-rich country and now we're trying to influence another energy-rich country in iran and i think as we look for long-term economic success we need to make sure we have at least friendlier governments in these countries to ensure cheap energy and Going back to Republican tenets on what makes a great economy, it's cutting taxes, streamlining regulations, and it's having cheap, affordable energy.

And we can help with some of those objectives by having some great foreign policy.

And I think the president was right to take these operations on.

What's keeping the rest of the world going? Low-cost energy.

However, I mean, he's been having some issues financially with respect to, I guess, fundraising, and there's been some question about his net worth kind of doing a Pelosi, you know, after just a couple years in Congress.

Well, look, Greg Lansman is a career institutionalized politician, right? This is the same guy who came out of the City Hall when we had the Gang of Five scandal, among some other City Hall scandals during that time.

And unfortunately, those character traits have moved into D.C. and the House.

And, you know, Greg Lansman was caught busting the Stock Act in 2025, which is against the law.

He broke federal law.

And to hide it from the very hardworking families here in Ohio, he went back and rewrote three years worth of financial disclosures covering up dozens of trades worth over a million dollars.

And on top of that, he somehow tripled his net worth since being in DC in under four years.

are so important.

That's an invasion.

It is.

And, you know, we need to secure the border.

And the administration has done a great job at starting to secure the border.

And we saw what happened in Spain and Morocco.

And before we got on air, I told you my anecdote of when I was in Poland.

When you were there.

Can you explain that one for me and my listening audience?

That's an invasion.

It is.

And, you know, we need to secure the border.

Tell people where to find you and talk to us a little bit about the obscene amounts of money the libs are going to throw at you in this campaign.

Yeah, of course.

Well, firstly, we also have a governor's race and a Senate race here on the ballot in Ohio.

So we think we're going to have the turnout that we need to win the race.

But we do need the Republican base to show up this November to win.

And yes, you're right.

There is going to be quite a bit of funds.

Talk to us about what you're hearing from your people there in Ohio, and what is your message on the economy? What's your message on taxes? What's your message on jobs? I'm kind of interested in the local chatter there in Cincinnati.

Why did you decide to run for Congress this year?

Well, Scott, uh, firstly, as you mentioned, uh, the district has been redrawn into a 53% Republican district, which makes it one of the few flippable seats around the country, and one that could determine not only control of the House, but whether or not the president gets impeached.

So make no mistake, uh, this is Trump's Alamo, these midterms, and that battleground runs right here through the Cincinnati area, and I'm thrilled to have the president's endorsement, along with the support of Speaker Johnson and the National Party.

And really for me, I've dedicated my life to service, serving 14 years in the Air Force and the CIA, and I view this as that next chapter in a life of service.

And my family's called this region home for over 130 years, and I believe a common sense conservative is what's needed to take it into the future.

And the current incumbent, Greg Landsman, is anything but common sense.

This is a guy who votes for men in women's sports, the largest tax increase in American history, and wants to defund ICE and DHS, and this is simply not the common sense leader we need here for Southwest Ohio.

Tell people where to find you, and, uh, talk to us a little bit about the, you know, the, the obscene amounts of money the libs are gonna throw at you in this campaign.

Well, I guess before I ask a question about Greg Lansman, um, Do you promise to, as a campaign pledge, to be relentless in pursuit of fraud, waste, and abuse of American taxpayer dollars, Eric Conroy?

Absolutely, Brian.

And as I mentioned, my 14 years in the federal government, there are plenty of ways to get more efficient and save those taxpayer dollars.

I saw it.

I worked at the Pentagon.

And military policy is important.

It protects not just our security interests, but our economic interests as well.

It is.

I hate that.

And we are getting all the attention we need for the support we need.

Speaker Johnson was in town here a few weeks ago.

Great.

Holding an event for me and advertising their race.

And the Congressional Leadership Fund has also put aside $4 million for TV time this fall.

Good for them.

It is.

same.

This nonsense just has to stop.

And when we're moving on to Ohio and chatting about Ohio specifically, without getting into some legal minutia, Ohio is the only state in the country that's legally required to redistrict this year.

And while I can't speak specifically about what the statehouse might do, what I can say is I'm trying to unseat a radical leftist in Greg Landsman.

who has completely lost touch with Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio and has really abandoned this district.

And I'd also like to help keep the GOP majority in the Congress next year.

The crime stats in that city have grown massively in the last decade, and you tell me, Eric, hasn't it been under Democrat rule for years?

It has, Dan.
