WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.359 --> 00:00:04.519 I know it wasn't on your list day, but we 2 00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:05.599 got a new uh it was. 3 00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:10.039 It was I want to Dave. 4 00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:12.039 You're a tax paying human being, are you not? 5 00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:14.080 You do pay? 6 00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.600 You paid federal taxes on behalf of the city of Cincinnati. 7 00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:17.839 Dave. 8 00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:20.800 I want to thank you for the labor that you 9 00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:24.160 engaged in that's generated you money that they took from 10 00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:28.440 your paycheck to help fund the Cincinnati Streetcar. The city 11 00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.000 Council voted unanimously to accept a quarter of a million 12 00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:34.600 dollar grant from the Federal Transit Administration to upgrade technology 13 00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:38.960 behind the signs that show writers information about when the 14 00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.719 when the street car is going to actually show up. Now, 15 00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:43.920 they actually had the signs already in place, but they 16 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.399 haven't had any accurate for accurate information more than a 17 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:48.399 couple of years because apparently it didn't hook up with 18 00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:50.600 the GPS. They didn't know whether the street car was 19 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.119 at any given time, so they couldn't let writers who 20 00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:55.359 were standing at the streetcar stops know when the train 21 00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:00.000 was actually going to show up. That's going to change now, Oh, goody, goody, goodie. 22 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.920 So appreciate your share the quarter of a million dollars. 23 00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:05.879 You know, I do have a comment, but I don't 24 00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:07.799 think the FCC would be too happy. 25 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.519 Oh my nineteenth year in radio, Dave, I struggle with 26 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:16.680 that every single day because I can have a rather 27 00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:20.000 saucy tongue when I'm not on the air. So I've 28 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.879 been able to maintain control without slip up. Knock wood. 29 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.359 There is no wood in my studio, but we'll pretend 30 00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.560 we're knocking wood and to not jinx me that I 31 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:34.439 don't drop an FCC non compliant word anyway. On your 32 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.560 list of topics, find David Protecting Taxpayers dot or great site. 33 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.359 He's looking out for the American taxpayer dollar. Is Trump 34 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.760 pursuing free and fair trade? And you answer your own 35 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:51.159 question in the reporting by David McGarry, No, what I 36 00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.200 know Trump had some It sounded like some measure of 37 00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:58.400 success with China and rare earth minerals the other day. 38 00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:00.439 But where are we on fair and fre each and 39 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:01.920 what's the story behind this one? 40 00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:02.599 Dave Williams. 41 00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:07.359 It is so confoluted, so mixed up, because one day 42 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.400 the terrorifts are on, the next day the terriffs are off, 43 00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:15.280 and it's providing so much economic uncertainty to businesses, to 44 00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:18.280 consumers and Brian. I have a new theory, and I've 45 00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:21.360 been thinking about this a lot, is that Donald Trump 46 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:25.120 when he ran his businesses, he negotiated with a lot 47 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.240 of different people. Right now, this was done behind closed doors, 48 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.639 but this is what you do as a businessman. They 49 00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.000 say this is going to cost X to build this building. 50 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.240 You say, well, I want to cost why? You know, 51 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:39.560 waggle then X? You haggle. Absolutely, he did it in 52 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:44.080 private these he's haggling in public now and the market 53 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.479 is freaking out because they see one hundred and fifty 54 00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.599 five percent tariff on China one day, thirty percent, the 55 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:54.120 next day fifty five and businesses don't know what to do. 56 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.080 Do we buy goods from China? What happens if it's 57 00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:02.000 halfway over here and the tariffs increase? And again, I 58 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:04.759 like the fact that he's negotiating, but you can't do 59 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.479 that on the world market and not expect some sort 60 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:11.319 of repercussions like this, and the market listen, don't pay 61 00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.599 attention to the market because it's going to be a 62 00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.080 pretty safe bet, right It's going to go up, it's 63 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.120 going to go down. But I think the economic uncertainty 64 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.000 that businesses are like do I invest, do I invest 65 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.800 money to expand what do I do? So I think 66 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:27.800 there in line is a problem with what he's doing 67 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:28.599 that's so public. 68 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:30.759 Yeah, and I couldn't agree with you more. You need 69 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.479 to be able to plan. You need something concrete on 70 00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.319 the table, whether it's you know, whether you prefer something 71 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:39.240 different or not. At least you know the cards that 72 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:42.520 you have been dealt and can play them accordingly. I mean, 73 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:44.360 if someone you know, in the middle of a poker 74 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.280 game was able to take three of your cards and 75 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.120 then give you three different ones, I mean, how can 76 00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.680 you bet and anticipate what's coming up? And I mean 77 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.680 it's just I get that. It's like the tax rate. 78 00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:56.360 What's the tax rate going to be? You know, and 79 00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.759 businesses worry about that, but once it's in place, regardless 80 00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.439 of what the taxes, at least they can plan accordingly. No, 81 00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:04.960 we won't be investing this much this year because my 82 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.680 taxes went up. Yes, we will be investing more in 83 00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:10.439 our business this year because the taxes went down. That 84 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.439 makes its planning. Everybody needs some measure of stability to 85 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:15.759 do that, and there's really literally no stability in this 86 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:16.399 whole mess. 87 00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:19.120 And you know, Brian you make a really good point 88 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:22.040 about the tax rate, because the one of the tax 89 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.360 rates that they locked in in twenty seventeen was the 90 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.480 corporate tax rate at twenty one percent. Now, a lot 91 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.160 of things are going to expire at the end of 92 00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.759 this year if they don't pass this one, big beautiful bill. 93 00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:35.160 But what the one thing that did they did lock 94 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.639 in because they knew that you have to have this, 95 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.839 you know, tax certainty was the twenty one percent corporate 96 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:44.560 tax rate. So Congress has acknowledged this is that businesses 97 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.839 need this long term planning. So you're absolutely right, yep. 98 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.920 Well, and you know that's one of the things that 99 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.839 I hate the phrase big beautiful bill. Every time I 100 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:57.600 say it, I just it's just, you know, okay, yeah. 101 00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:59.240 A little piece of your soul is taken away. 102 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.720 I know, I know, I know, because you know, there's 103 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:03.720 a lot of it that I consider not beautiful. But 104 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:05.319 you know, there is some great things and there are 105 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:08.160 some great things in it. But this starts to illustrate 106 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.720 the point when they did the twenty seventeen tax cuts, 107 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:12.680 which I think we're great and we're good for the 108 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.560 economy generally speaking, and since they took less of my money. 109 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.680 I feel better about it because I'm not paying for 110 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.319 stuff I don't want to pay, at least not as 111 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.959 much they set to expire. I mean, why didn't they 112 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.839 just lock them in then permanently and then for some 113 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.519 other Congress down the road to have to raise our taxes. See, 114 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.199 this is what irks me about Congress. These deadlines in 115 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.560 there that undo what has been done, which creates this 116 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:40.160 uncertainty and instability out there every exit number of years. 117 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.519 Well, and the spending increases are never some set there's 118 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.480 never an exploration for this spending increases. It's always the 119 00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.720 tax cuts. And listen, this is something we've been talking 120 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.160 about for years, is that everyone saw this deadline coming up, 121 00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.120 and Congress said, oh, we have plenty of time, We 122 00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.560 have plenty of time. And you know, here we are 123 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.480 June of twenty twenty five, and we have six months 124 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.079 left to get this done. And now we're being force 125 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:09.600 fed this bill that has tax increases. I mean there 126 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.240 are tax increases. You have the endowment tax. And listen, 127 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.319 Trump is going after Harvard, He's trying to get more 128 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:19.079 money from Harvard in these lefty places. The problem is 129 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:22.279 our right wing endowments that are going to get hit 130 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.800 by this tax. Right now it's one point four percent, 131 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.279 it's going to go to twenty one percent. So Hilldale College, 132 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:31.959 a lot of these conservative organizations now are going to 133 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.720 get a tax increase in this in this bill. I'm 134 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.439 not going to say the full name anymore, but through 135 00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:42.199 this legislation, they're going to get a tax increase, which 136 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:44.639 is counterintuitive and counterproductive. 137 00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.560 Yeah, and you know, I certainly understand wanting to go 138 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.199 after Harvard. I mean, it's just it has gone so 139 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:55.319 full on brainwashy left that I don't even understand how 140 00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:57.560 it can be an institution that has any value anymore. 141 00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:59.720 They've undermined the value of the name that they've built 142 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.120 up of so many years. 143 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.720 Yeah, and again, you know they're bringing in other people 144 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.079 now and these other tax increases. I don't know if 145 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.680 you've seen this. The remittance tax. Now, if you send 146 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:15.319 money overseas, you will now all have to pay three 147 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.600 and a half percent. Now, what they're saying is, but 148 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.360 if you're an American, then you'll get the money back 149 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:24.240 at the end of the year through a tax refund. 150 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.720 So let's say you send money overseas for whatever reason. 151 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.079 My wife is from El Salvador. She sends money to 152 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.199 her mom, right, and she's she's been a US citizen 153 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:35.879 for twenty twenty five years. Well, you're gonna have to 154 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:39.000 prove that you're an American citizen. The banks don't track this. 155 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:42.079 The banks have no idea what you if you're legal, 156 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.079 if you're you know what your status is in this country. 157 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.000 So the bank is going to have to charge you this. 158 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.160 They're going to raise their fees to charge you this 159 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:53.839 three point five percent. Now, if you are filing your 160 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.560 taxes and use the standard deduction, yeah, you can no 161 00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:00.240 longer do that. You now have to itemize if you 162 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:05.120 were sending money overseas. It's unnecessary. It's an unnecessary thing 163 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.000 for to be in this bill. 164 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.879 Well, I'm sure maybe that was something the accounting industry 165 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.040 was behind, because if everybody has to now start itemizing, 166 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.800 there's going to be more accountants fired filed because you know, 167 00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.040 you can't just easily take the ten thousand dollars and 168 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.240 just call it a day. Plus you have to keep 169 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:23.040 receipts too. 170 00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:24.240 So any. 171 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:27.399 One of the things that I was unhappy about the 172 00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.160 Republicans that they capitulated the Democrat States and raising the 173 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.080 salt to forty thousand dollars, something the Senate may very 174 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.279 well undo. I know they're having conversations about that. I 175 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:40.200 had Congressman Thomas Massey on yesterday talking about what it 176 00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:42.159 would take to get him to vote for it, since 177 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:44.399 he was one of the few Republicans voted no. And 178 00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.440 he said, well, if the Senate puts that back to 179 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:49.159 ten thousand dollars and does a couple of other things, 180 00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:51.679 he said, I'll embrace it. But you know, he was 181 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:54.360 a He's an absolute, outright no on that, and I 182 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.639 certainly understand it. It's a gift to the high tax 183 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.240 Democrat states. They're the ones that raise the taxes so 184 00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:01.679 much that they think they need that forty thousand dollars 185 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.080 that increase or third thirty thousand dollars increase. 186 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.360 And this affects a very small portion of the country. 187 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:12.840 We're talking about California, New York, the states that have 188 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:17.440 been less fiscally responsible with uh with their spending and 189 00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:21.559 with their taxes. That's that's who's going to benefit from this. 190 00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:25.879 So if you are Florida, Texas and you're fiscally responsible, 191 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:29.679 you're paying for other people's high taxes, and it just 192 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.320 it doesn't make sense. But this is what I'm using. 193 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:35.679 The air quotes here was negotiated by the House to 194 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.120 get these moderate Republicans to vote for it. And you know, 195 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:42.679 the deficit, we see increased deficits spending, We see a 196 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:44.879 debt ceiling that's going to be increased. I mean President 197 00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.240 Trump doesn't want a debt ceiling. He says we shouldn't 198 00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:50.960 have a death feeling. Oh my goodness. I mean talk 199 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.320 about any sort of a sidge of fiscal responsibilities out 200 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.440 the window. I mean, if you have no debt ceiling, 201 00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.639 I mean, listen, it's not stopping them now. The debt 202 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.399 ceiling is not stopping them. Now. You take that away, 203 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:04.919 and yikes. 204 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.159 Yep, it's a frightening landscape in front of us. 205 00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.519 And every additional dollar we spend, every and the larger 206 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:12.759 than that massive pile of debt, which is currently almost 207 00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.799 what thirty seven trillion dollars gets and then when the interest, 208 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:19.600 when the bond rate goes up and you refinance or 209 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:21.320 you end up having to pay more. It's like having 210 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.960 your credit card rate increase. You're going to have to 211 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.519 pay more for debt service. It's already a trillion dollars 212 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:29.480 a year, Dave. We're just paying on interest. 213 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:34.240 Yeah, that's a lot of agencies combined. I mean, it's 214 00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:37.279 crazy to think about what a trillion dollars is and 215 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:40.960 it's more than the defense budget. We're paying more in 216 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:44.480 interest than we're spending on defense, and we get nothing 217 00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:47.080 from interest. I mean, at least we get a parade 218 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:51.360 when we spend almost a trillion dollars in defense. 219 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.600 Thank you. Something else that I am not in favor of. 220 00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:58.240 This reminds me so much of the Soviet Union in 221 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.080 North Korea. To roll out all of your military hardware. 222 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:04.519 I mean, I appreciate celebrating the anniversary of the Armed 223 00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:08.360 Forces or the United States Army, and that's a glorious thing. 224 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:10.519 They're great people. They do wonderful things. I'm a huge 225 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:13.559 support of the American military personnel and the veterans. But 226 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.639 you know, Dave, another thing. I know you've noticed they 227 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:19.360 haven't been able to pass an audit eight times in 228 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:22.120 a row. You think there's any fraud, wasting abuse in 229 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:23.919 the trillion dollar defense bending bill, Dave. 230 00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:28.600 And we're talking about not passing an audit, but they 231 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:32.559 lose engines. I'm not kidding that they said, well, we're 232 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.720 supposed to have fifteen engines, but we only count twelve. 233 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:37.879 We don't know where the three went. I mean, and 234 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:40.480 these are you know, massive pieces of equipment. So we're 235 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:43.559 not talking about pencils and you know post it notes. 236 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.679 We're talking about big pieces of equipment that go missing 237 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:49.360 and they're unaccounted for. So this is hundreds of billions 238 00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.879 of dollars. Like you said, you know, it's been years 239 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.039 since they've been able to pass an audit, and they've 240 00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:55.960 never passing audit. 241 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.720 Where did that tank go? Wasn't it parked there yesterday? 242 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:00.960 Don't go away, Dave, bring you back. We got more 243 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:02.559 to talk about it.

I mean, these protests that are going on 295 00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:32.440 a lot of Los Angeles, some may call them riots 296 00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:36.639 you choose, but the funding that's behind them, and we 297 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:39.639 find out that there are organizations out there the American 298 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.919 taxpayers have actually funded to fund a what I would 299 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:48.039 argue is a leftist, you know, pro illegal immigration ideology 300 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:51.240 that's run contrary to the Trump administration's philosophies. I know 301 00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:53.879 Biden didn't have any problem with it, but how is 302 00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:59.919 it the American taxpayers funding organizations that have a political affiliation. 303 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:02.440 I mean, if American taxpayer dollars were going to churches, 304 00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:04.960 people would be screaming and wailing and gnashing of teeth. 305 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.399 But you know, a lot of these organizations, in my mind, 306 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:10.120 take a leap of faith like attitude, much like religion does. 307 00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:11.639 They're not much different from religion. 308 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:15.960 Yeah, this is sort of the untold story of what's happening. 309 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:19.279 Is because you have a lot of nonprofits that receive 310 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:22.919 money from taxpayers, right, And we put out a report 311 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.679 this was years ago, called phony philanthropy. Is that we 312 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:29.279 are now? You know, Brian, you and I we are 313 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:32.559 members of these organizations because we're taxpayers, but we don't 314 00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:34.840 agree with their mission. Listen, if you want to donate 315 00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:38.519 money to an organization, that's your money, don't use my 316 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:42.720 money right to keep an organization propped up that I 317 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.120 don't agree with. And let's look at what's going to 318 00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:47.720 happen next. Is taxpayer money is going to be used 319 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:52.639 to rebuild Los Angeles and what's happening there. And consumers 320 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:55.360 are also going to be on the hook for increased insurance. 321 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:57.960 We've sawd this with the with the fires of the 322 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:02.159 California fires. So this this is not just who's funding this, 323 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:04.879 but who's going to fund the cleanup in the aftermath, 324 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:08.759 And it's always the US sax bear, always a taxpayer. 325 00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:09.559 Excellent point. 326 00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:11.559 Same thing in the aftermath of the Black Lives Matter 327 00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:14.879 riots where federal buildings were smashed and burned and Antifa 328 00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:17.440 those are federal buildings.
