00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Jashi A seven to twenty nine. If you've got KRC

2
00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:08.119
<v Speaker 1>detalk station, Happy Wednesday listener, lunch Saunder Brewery's Westchester location,

3
00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:11.320
<v Speaker 1>and welcome back from Americans for Prosperity, Donov and Neil.

4
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:12.839
<v Speaker 1>It's always a pleasure for having you on the program,

5
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:16.160
<v Speaker 1>my friend, Brian, always great to be with you. So

6
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.399
<v Speaker 1>Americans for Prosperity pushing to renew the Trump tax cuts,

7
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:23.359
<v Speaker 1>that's certainly something that's good for all of us. And

8
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:25.679
<v Speaker 1>I hate the way the left tries to spin this

9
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.519
<v Speaker 1>like this is just cut tax cuts for evil corporations.

10
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:30.359
<v Speaker 1>You know, the middle class doesn't get anything. Well, that's

11
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.159
<v Speaker 1>just not true. No, it's not.

12
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.759
<v Speaker 2>We've even seen some some folks on the right sort

13
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:39.159
<v Speaker 2>of begin to embrace those ideas and say, maybe we

14
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.359
<v Speaker 2>should raise taxes just a little bit on the wealthiest

15
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>in our country, and maybe that'd be okay. But we've

16
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:47.359
<v Speaker 2>seen that song and dance play out before, haven't we,

17
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:51.079
<v Speaker 2>Brian in the early nineties, Good god, yes, George W. Bush.

18
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:56.079
<v Speaker 2>So voters were really clear last November right four years

19
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:02.079
<v Speaker 2>of bidenomic senspation, green energy New Deal subsidies that provided

20
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 2>hidden taxes on Americans, they rejected the tax and spend

21
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:09.359
<v Speaker 2>policies that the progressive Democrats like Kamala Harris and Joe

22
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Biden put on this country. And they want to make

23
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.439
<v Speaker 2>permanent the Trump tax cuts that were originally enacted in

24
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:18.319
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventeen. And so that's what we're holding folks too,

25
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.799
<v Speaker 2>and driving towards. And the operative words in that sentence

26
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:25.480
<v Speaker 2>you just made. You just said permanent, make permanent. It

27
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:28.120
<v Speaker 2>just really just Franklin and I use the words pisses

28
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 2>me off. When they know they impact tax policy, but

29
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.400
<v Speaker 2>they only do it for ten years or five years

30
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:36.079
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. It forces you to have to go back

31
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.640
<v Speaker 2>and do something over again or unring a bell or

32
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:42.640
<v Speaker 2>like now to try to enshrine them and make them permanent.

33
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.599
<v Speaker 2>That'll force some future Congress, thankfully making them permanent. The

34
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.359
<v Speaker 2>lower tax cuts, that'll force some future Congress to actually

35
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:50.920
<v Speaker 2>have to vote to raise our income tax. Not a

36
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.079
<v Speaker 2>very popular thing to do, no, And I think that's

37
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 2>the theory of it, right. It's like, hey, we can

38
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.439
<v Speaker 2>get a really good fiscal note right, the Congressional Budget Office,

39
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.439
<v Speaker 2>your listeners probably hear this, right, It'll say this legislation

40
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:04.560
<v Speaker 2>is going to cost x amount of dollars or impact

41
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.200
<v Speaker 2>revenue by x amount of dollars. But here's the deal,

42
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.120
<v Speaker 2>it's consistently wrong. We just had Representative Lisa McClain join

43
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.960
<v Speaker 2>our team in DC for a discussion around this. She's

44
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.120
<v Speaker 2>the conference chair, and what she was talking about as

45
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:21.639
<v Speaker 2>well is, you know, they get these numbers wrong because

46
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.960
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't account for some of the dynamic aspects of

47
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>what happens in the economy right when you lower taxes. Yeah,

48
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.680
<v Speaker 2>on one hand, you can say, over the next ten years,

49
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.400
<v Speaker 2>lowering taxes is going to impact the national federal revenue

50
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.919
<v Speaker 2>by several billions of dollars. But what you're not accounting

51
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.319
<v Speaker 2>for is where those billions of dollars are going, right

52
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.840
<v Speaker 2>when back into the economy reinvested and we see the

53
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>growth that occurs when more people get to keep more

54
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:49.360
<v Speaker 2>of their hard ear and money. So I think lawmakers

55
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.280
<v Speaker 2>beginning to get dialed into hey, CBO is helpful. But

56
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:56.080
<v Speaker 2>the fact that the Congressional Budget Office oftentimes gets this wrong.

57
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.560
<v Speaker 2>We're going to forge ahead because we know good policy

58
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.120
<v Speaker 2>equals politics, and that's what folks on us here to do.

59
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:04.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's an excellent point you make that that money

60
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>is in fact reinvested, that employees actually get the benefit

61
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>of it. Quite often that businesses expand when you don't

62
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:12.680
<v Speaker 1>take their money away from them. So that's the one

63
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:16.800
<v Speaker 1>side the economic activity that's created by allowing us to

64
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.439
<v Speaker 1>spend the way we want to spend our money. You know,

65
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.719
<v Speaker 1>it goes for buying goods and services and purchases, which

66
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.919
<v Speaker 1>further expands the economy. All that is good, and yet

67
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:27.919
<v Speaker 1>look at the other side of the coin on that Donovan,

68
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>What do they do with the money they take from us?

69
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>How efficient is Washington d C. With the spending of

70
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 1>our earned dollars that they steal from us? Look at

71
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.919
<v Speaker 1>what doge is uncovered. Granted it's only just a tiny

72
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:43.039
<v Speaker 1>slice of the entire revenue stream that comes out of Washington.

73
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>But you know, paying for transgender mice research or whatever.

74
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't care, pick up your favorite ridiculous thing that

75
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>DOGE pointed out, that's what they're doing with it. Funding

76
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:56.039
<v Speaker 1>green energy subsidies. Subsidies are needed when the demand is

77
00:03:56.039 --> 00:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>not there for the products and the energy generation that

78
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:05.120
<v Speaker 1>we normally would pursue. The market forces are ignored when

79
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>you get incentives, and it gets people to do stuff

80
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.520
<v Speaker 1>they won't do. That's on our backs, and it's never

81
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>enough money. Look how I mean, we're in the whole

82
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>thirty seven trillion dollars almost, and they just continue to

83
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.839
<v Speaker 1>spend way beyond what they take in. I mean, it's

84
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.720
<v Speaker 1>just insulting and I wish more people. I mean, we

85
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>quit playing that class warfare game on the left and

86
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.199
<v Speaker 1>EEL Corporation elel olive, evil billionaires, blah blah blah blah blah.

87
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh shut up, you know, just look what they're doing

88
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.480
<v Speaker 1>with your tax dollars. You hate the size of the

89
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 1>American military budget, so do why trillion dollars annually? I

90
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.600
<v Speaker 1>guarantee you that's filled with fraud, wasted abuse that could

91
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.639
<v Speaker 1>be ferreted out. They can't even pass an audit. And

92
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.639
<v Speaker 1>they can't even pass an audit. Now, I love the

93
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.319
<v Speaker 1>American military, and I salute the American veterans every single

94
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.240
<v Speaker 1>day and active duty service folks, But tell me they

95
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:54.160
<v Speaker 1>need a trillion dollars. Come on, find a waste. You

96
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 1>guys waste money all the time. We shouldn't reward them

97
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.079
<v Speaker 1>with taking more of our money. Donovan, thank you for

98
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:00.279
<v Speaker 1>letting me vent my lean.

99
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 2>I love it, and I think we need more of

100
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 2>that righteous indignation, right, and we hear it out there

101
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:08.800
<v Speaker 2>on the doors and in the communities and at the

102
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:12.720
<v Speaker 2>events we do talking about this because people are frustrated,

103
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:16.160
<v Speaker 2>right they they they're taxed a lot. And I think

104
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.439
<v Speaker 2>a lot of folks are fairly reasonable, right They understand.

105
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.399
<v Speaker 2>We need roads, we want police, we want fire, we

106
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.639
<v Speaker 2>want good schools, we want you know, we want national defense.

107
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:27.560
<v Speaker 2>But then you begin to look at the you know,

108
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.519
<v Speaker 2>the spotlight that the Biben or the Trump administration is

109
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.240
<v Speaker 2>putting on through the Department of Government Efficiency, doge the fraud,

110
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>waste and abuse happening in our federal government, and folks

111
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.000
<v Speaker 2>get mad. And then to hear to have folks even saying, hey,

112
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.639
<v Speaker 2>maybe we should raise taxes just a little bit on

113
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 2>some you know, just sends people into a tailspin. We

114
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.720
<v Speaker 2>don't need to be doing that, Brian, Right, We need

115
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:50.839
<v Speaker 2>to We need to see our federal government operate more

116
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.560
<v Speaker 2>efficiently so that it can deliver the services as people

117
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.240
<v Speaker 2>who need it better, while also making sure that people

118
00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Americans like you and I get to keep more of

119
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.319
<v Speaker 2>our heart paychecks rather than sending you know, twenty two

120
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.759
<v Speaker 2>percent of our paycheck on the marginal tax brackets out

121
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.879
<v Speaker 2>to Washington, d C. To be burned, you know, in

122
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.920
<v Speaker 2>some unknown program that's not getting any results or really

123
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:13.120
<v Speaker 2>serving any public good.

124
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:15.399
<v Speaker 1>I tell you what, I'll hold you over, Donna, because

125
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:17.399
<v Speaker 1>then you're goin to what. Oh that's right, I got

126
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the clamor cunty veteran services coming up. So I won't

127
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:20.920
<v Speaker 1>hold you over, just take you for an extra minute

128
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.639
<v Speaker 1>or two, your Donovan. I guess. I'm just kind of

129
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:26.720
<v Speaker 1>wildly curious to know what your guess is as to

130
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.959
<v Speaker 1>where this opposition to what Doge is doing is coming from.

131
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Is that this small, really really squeaky wheel gets the greased,

132
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.439
<v Speaker 1>loud leftist class that's doing that. Because how could any

133
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.399
<v Speaker 1>even you know, middle or even I would say even

134
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>left to the spectrum democrat disagree with that the of

135
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.560
<v Speaker 1>the realities. How could they argue that getting rid of

136
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.839
<v Speaker 1>dead people off the Social Security active roles is a

137
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:52.279
<v Speaker 1>bad thing. It's just demonized, demonized, demonized, and it doesn't

138
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.240
<v Speaker 1>make any sense when you look at it from a

139
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:58.040
<v Speaker 1>logical and reasonable perspective, which I guess they're not now.

140
00:06:58.160 --> 00:06:59.920
<v Speaker 2>And I think what they're looking for their grasping a

141
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:01.800
<v Speaker 2>draws in a lot of ways, I feel like trying

142
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.600
<v Speaker 2>to find areas of controversy, and then some of that

143
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.680
<v Speaker 2>gets fueled by filect traditional media outlets who also want

144
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.519
<v Speaker 2>to fuel that controversy. But the reality is like when

145
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.399
<v Speaker 2>you talk to an average person, Yeah, you get a

146
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.600
<v Speaker 2>bar or restaurant wherever, and you talk about that social

147
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.639
<v Speaker 2>security example, they get it. People get it, and so

148
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:21.720
<v Speaker 2>it's consistently a messaging war, right where you have to

149
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.399
<v Speaker 2>get out there and kind of combat that. So, yeah,

150
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.000
<v Speaker 2>squeaky wheel gets the grease. But then I think some

151
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.680
<v Speaker 2>of that squeaky wheel gets amplified by folks who have

152
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.800
<v Speaker 2>an agenda to push. At the end of the day,

153
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:35.720
<v Speaker 2>this is what we should be seeing. Both Democrats and

154
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Republicans should be doing this kind of stuff, right, shining

155
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.759
<v Speaker 2>a light on inefficiencies in our government so that it

156
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.079
<v Speaker 2>can deliver better services with the dollars we give it all.

<v Speaker 1>here in a moment. First, I'm taking my car. I

172
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.040
<v Speaker 1>took my car yesterday a Foreign Exchange Westchester location Tylersville

173
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Road exit office seventy five. That's what I took. I

174
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:26.040
<v Speaker 1>went two streets east and I hung it right on

175
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Kinglin and landed right there in the parking lot of

176

179
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:39.960
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna do a great job. And the price blew

180
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:41.440
<v Speaker 1>me away, and they've gave me the boil down to

181
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the price. I'm like, I know I would have paid

182
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:46.039
<v Speaker 1>at least five hundred to one thousand dollars more if

183
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I'd have taken it to the dealer for all this

184
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:50.519
<v Speaker 1>stuff that they're doing today. So it's just amazing money
