<v Speaker 1>Are heard daily exactly the things that may be said.

<v Speaker 2>Fifty five KRC the talk station, A five fifty five

4
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:14.199
<v Speaker 2>very happy Friday.

5

<v Speaker 3>Every day.

6
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:17.719
<v Speaker 2>Knows how much I love my Fridays, and I love

7
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 2>him and folks in studio, most notably when they are

8
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:23.440
<v Speaker 2>congress people like Congressman David Taylor Davis in studio to

9
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:25.280
<v Speaker 2>talk about what it's like to be a congressman. He

10
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:27.960
<v Speaker 2>is our newest congressman from the Greater Sin Santi area,

11
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.079
<v Speaker 2>representing district COUP, which was former Congressman brad winstro Seed.

12
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Brad used to come in all the time.

13
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.359
<v Speaker 3>David. It's good to have you here. Great to be here, Brian,

14
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:36.039
<v Speaker 3>thanks for having me.

15
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:39.719
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately for me, I was you know, winsterp likes to

16
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:43.200
<v Speaker 2>come in and you know, jawbone about issues because it's

17
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:45.159
<v Speaker 2>still of its critical importance to him. Of course he

18
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 2>still has an active role, and of course you intellected

19
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:50.479
<v Speaker 2>capacity of an active role. And gee, it's a shame day.

20
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:52.159
<v Speaker 2>We don't have anything to talk about by way of

21
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:53.119
<v Speaker 2>subject matter today.

22
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:55.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's it's it is real shame. There's nothing going

23
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:56.359
<v Speaker 3>on whatsoever.

24
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.359
<v Speaker 2>Well as a new politician. I know you had a

25
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:00.119
<v Speaker 2>huge feel.

26
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:00.439
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

27
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.880
<v Speaker 2>He beat ten Republicans and one Democrat to succeed Winster.

28
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:07.840
<v Speaker 2>This is, you know, a new foray in your life.

29
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.519
<v Speaker 2>What's it like to be in this Trump administration? And

30
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:13.680
<v Speaker 2>I was joking with you off air, it's like, you know,

31
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Trump's sworn in and he has been sprinting ever since.

32
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>You compare the amount of and whether you like him

33
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.079
<v Speaker 2>or not, and as listen as he sucks, well, fine whatever,

34
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:25.719
<v Speaker 2>he's been able to accomplish more in this very short

35
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.760
<v Speaker 2>period of time than Joe Biden did in his entire administration.

36
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:31.079
<v Speaker 2>And I suppose we should pause from it and thank

37
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:36.000
<v Speaker 2>our our our maker that Biden wasn't as active and

38
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>engaged as Donald Trump or well, I don't know where

39
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.079
<v Speaker 2>we would be right now, but amazing. What's it like

40
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.120
<v Speaker 2>being in that environment? It's been great, Brian. And like

41
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:46.640
<v Speaker 2>like you said, we were talking off air a little bit.

42
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.359
<v Speaker 2>We got sworn into Congress in January third, and we

43
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:51.040
<v Speaker 2>got right to work. We passed into the Lake and

44
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Riley Act, we passed legislation to get man out of

45
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.560
<v Speaker 2>women's locker rooms and sports, and right on down the line,

46
00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:02.040
<v Speaker 2>we were working every day, but then January twentieth came

47
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.159
<v Speaker 2>and President Trump got sworn in, and if it felt

48
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.359
<v Speaker 2>like we were tied to as tied to a stump,

49
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 2>he took off running. And since then it's been quite

50
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.599
<v Speaker 2>a ride. Lot's happening. Most of the people, obviously in

51
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:14.879
<v Speaker 2>my district are thrilled with it. I am too.

52
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:17.800
<v Speaker 3>The big goal now is to change a lot of

53
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 3>these executive orders into law so that they stay at

54
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:21.240
<v Speaker 3>the way they are.

55
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Well executive orders, and also the work that Doge has

56
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.039
<v Speaker 2>accomplished so far as so far, and you know, I

57
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.560
<v Speaker 2>find it almost impossible to behold or and I do

58
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.680
<v Speaker 2>find it impossible to comprehend people who are resisting what

59
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.199
<v Speaker 2>Elon Musk and his team have revealed to the American

60
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:41.159
<v Speaker 2>public by way of where our dollars are being spent,

61
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:45.719
<v Speaker 2>coupled with and this is almost more offensive the idea

62
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:53.199
<v Speaker 2>that our taxpayer dollars weren't more, they weren't as mindful

63
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.039
<v Speaker 2>of our tax player dollars. We knew they always weren't.

64
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 2>They could take as much as they want from us,

65
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 2>but no sense of a fiduciary obligation. When you look

66
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.199
<v Speaker 2>at systems like social security, which is already headed for,

67
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, a collapse, it has been for They've been

68
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.280
<v Speaker 2>predicted for decades. But that hundreds of thousands of people

69
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:14.560
<v Speaker 2>that are obviously dead could still have active Social Security

70
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.560
<v Speaker 2>numbers on the system. And people are outraged that DOGE

71
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 2>has access to this information and a court order just

72
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 2>he said, no, it's we're keeping the injunction in place

73
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 2>keeping them away from that information. How many people work

74
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.400
<v Speaker 2>at the IRS have access to that information? These people

75
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.520
<v Speaker 2>with DOGE have the same level because security clearances the

76
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:32.680
<v Speaker 2>people that work in the Social Security Department. I don't

77
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:34.800
<v Speaker 2>find what the big problem is, but that someone might

78
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.800
<v Speaker 2>be against cleaning it up right.

79
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's it's not just the waste, which is terrible,

80
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.280
<v Speaker 3>but the way we're finding out this money is actually

81
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:47.520
<v Speaker 3>used against Americans' best interests. And it seems like people

82
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 3>in DC that you hear the most from are are

83
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.759
<v Speaker 3>more mad about the discovery of the fraud, waste and

84
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.159
<v Speaker 3>abuse than they are about the fraud, waste and abuse.

85
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 3>It's a big issue. Dough has to be allowed to

86
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 3>do it. It's work. It's dually appoint by the executive branch.

87
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.800
<v Speaker 3>We didn't even have anything that I could discern as

88
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.560
<v Speaker 3>an actual functioning executive branch for four years, and they're

89
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:15.159
<v Speaker 3>complaining about actual designees of President Trump doing the work

90
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 3>that the executive branch is supposed to do. So, yeah,

91
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 3>it's a little puzzling when you look at it from

92
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:25.000
<v Speaker 3>that aspect that they're they're more worried about how the

93
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 3>problems are discovered than fixing the problems.

94
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:29.800
<v Speaker 2>That's that's what it is. It's one of those the

95
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.160
<v Speaker 2>jig is up kind of things, right, And the dollars

96
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.360
<v Speaker 2>that flowed out of USA, for example, by all accounts,

97
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.519
<v Speaker 2>circuitously made their way back into the pockets of politicians,

98
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.680
<v Speaker 2>either directly or indirectly in the form of political action

99
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.879
<v Speaker 2>committees or campaign contribution. So you know, no, you weren't

100
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.399
<v Speaker 2>funding Sesame Street and Iraq, You're actually funding some political

101
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.920
<v Speaker 2>action committe in DC to fund left wing causes.

102
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.480
<v Speaker 3>Right, and and Elon Musk kind of explained how that

103
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:59.079
<v Speaker 3>went down, where people like Soros and other activists would

104
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.879
<v Speaker 3>put a little need money into an NGO and then

105
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.399
<v Speaker 3>receive these huge grants from USAID and of course funnel

106
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 3>those right back into whether it's electing prosecutors that having

107
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 3>no intention of doing their job or funneled into Democrat

108
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.199
<v Speaker 3>candidates for all number of offices. I know they said

109
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:20.279
<v Speaker 3>it was like approximately two billion dollars a week in fraud,

110
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.600
<v Speaker 3>waste and abuse that they discovered early on from Social Security.

111
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:28.240
<v Speaker 3>And we actually sponsored a bill suggesting using you know,

112
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.839
<v Speaker 3>less than one week's worth of that money to address

113
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 3>There are eighty one Tier one VA facilities with needs

114
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:42.399
<v Speaker 3>for their Tier one projects, meaning they need acute either

115
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.759
<v Speaker 3>restoration or rebuilding. So less than one week worth of

116
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.399
<v Speaker 3>waste from the what they found in the Social Security

117
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.000
<v Speaker 3>program would knock these all out. Whereas under the current

118
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.439
<v Speaker 3>system they're only putting one hundred and fifty million dollars

119
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.680
<v Speaker 3>towards this this long list of projects. At that pace,

120
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.240
<v Speaker 3>it will never get done. So those are the kind

121
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker 3>of things we're trying to turn turn this this negative

122
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.319
<v Speaker 3>situation into a positive as quickly as possible.

123
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, and you know, you talk about the one hundred

124
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.519
<v Speaker 2>fifty million dollars or two billion dollars that the pace

125
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:13.800
<v Speaker 2>at which these projects can get done. Go back to

126
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:17.600
<v Speaker 2>the Green New Deal stuff and what five billion dollars

127
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.399
<v Speaker 2>awarded to build you know, a Tesla charge and it's

128
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.360
<v Speaker 2>charging stations for octe vehicles and after four years or

129
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.360
<v Speaker 2>three years or so, seven of them got built. A

130
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.839
<v Speaker 2>high speed rail line out in California. That's literally billions

131
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:34.279
<v Speaker 2>of dollars over budget and they haven't gotten much of

132
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:37.160
<v Speaker 2>it done. That Baker's feel sacramenty whatever, that small leg

133
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:39.160
<v Speaker 2>that's connecting no One to no one, and for no

134
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.600
<v Speaker 2>particular reason, it's not even done. And it's been on

135
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.480
<v Speaker 2>the books and as a project now for what a decade.

136
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.199
<v Speaker 3>Right, And that money spent, it's it's not like, it's

137
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.439
<v Speaker 3>not like it's allocated, and it's it's still waiting for

138
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.680
<v Speaker 3>them to get the program together. That money's gone. Yeah,

139
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.279
<v Speaker 3>so if they ever want to do that, that light

140
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:55.240
<v Speaker 3>rail program, they're gonna need that money again. So yeah,

141
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:58.319
<v Speaker 3>it's it's absolutely ridiculous. And you know that money didn't disappear,

142
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.000
<v Speaker 3>and California you can pretty much guess where it went.

143
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:04.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I used to live in Chicago for eight years,

144
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.800
<v Speaker 2>so I can guarantee I know where it went. Yeah,

145
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.160
<v Speaker 2>that's why nothing's been done yet in terms of the

146
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:14.279
<v Speaker 2>legislation that you're interested in moving forward. I know one

147
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.199
<v Speaker 2>of the big focuses in the vic grama swim it

148
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.800
<v Speaker 2>was just on talking about focusing here in Ohio and education.

149
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.600
<v Speaker 2>It's a big It's a big deal for me. I

150
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.600
<v Speaker 2>am bussed who have had a good classical education. My

151
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:28.959
<v Speaker 2>parents insisted on me getting an education victim of public schools,

152
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:30.800
<v Speaker 2>and I got two degrees in the University of Cincinnati.

153
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:36.040
<v Speaker 2>But classical education, you know, phonics, arithmetic, just old school stuff, right,

154
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:39.040
<v Speaker 2>and I would love to have a return to that

155
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.560
<v Speaker 2>and moving away from this, DEEI woke kind of nonsense.

156
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:46.879
<v Speaker 2>It's the education system, as reflected by test scores, has

157
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 2>become more of an a doctrination camp where you have

158
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:51.480
<v Speaker 2>more time spent on things that have nothing to do

159
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.240
<v Speaker 2>with the foundation and the building blocks that allow children

160
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:58.439
<v Speaker 2>to advance in the next grade, reading, writing, arithmetic, core

161
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.720
<v Speaker 2>key things and sciences too. By getting rid of the

162
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Department of Education, which is forcing this using federal dollars

163
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.560
<v Speaker 2>as a vehicle to force schools who accept the money

164
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 2>to engage in those programs, Donald Trump and Congress can

165
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:16.279
<v Speaker 2>flip all that. Did you see a bill to eradicate

166
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:18.279
<v Speaker 2>the Department of Education? Because that will be required being

167
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:20.399
<v Speaker 2>advanced and where do you think it would go if

168
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:20.720
<v Speaker 2>it is?

169
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:24.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, there should be a bill and it's going to

170
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.160
<v Speaker 3>be a challenge to get it across the line with

171
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:30.000
<v Speaker 3>the current setup. I think it would be successful in

172
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:31.800
<v Speaker 3>the House. I think it would face challenges in the

173
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:36.279
<v Speaker 3>Senate with the lack of the sixty votes. And I

174
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.320
<v Speaker 3>don't see a way immediately around the bird rule on that.

175
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:42.279
<v Speaker 3>But they can definitely limit what the Department of Education

176
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:44.559
<v Speaker 3>is doing, and they're doing that when we appreciate that

177
00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:48.000
<v Speaker 3>very much. And as you said, Vivek has got some

178
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:53.399
<v Speaker 3>great ideas for Ohio's education. You merit based pay for teachers,

179
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:55.960
<v Speaker 3>and that's not just based on test scores, as he's

180
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:57.759
<v Speaker 3>pointed out. I don't know if you've had a chance

181
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:01.360
<v Speaker 3>to hear him speak yet on this since he's declared

182
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.679
<v Speaker 3>UH for governor, but he's got some great ideas for

183
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:09.279
<v Speaker 3>multi factor analysis of teachers performance and paying you know,

184
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:12.279
<v Speaker 3>based on actual merit, which is a long overdue and

185
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:15.279
<v Speaker 3>they should be paid better and paid better because of

186
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:17.440
<v Speaker 3>the great work they do. It's there's no more important job.

187
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:21.200
<v Speaker 3>And he's got so many great ideas for Ohio. And

188
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:24.600
<v Speaker 3>if you haven't heard him speak to those, you will soon.

189
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.080
<v Speaker 3>I know he was on with you earlier today and

190
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:31.399
<v Speaker 3>UH and we're looking forward to announce my endorsement of

191
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.639
<v Speaker 3>him tonight as our next governor. I think, you know,

192
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:40.720
<v Speaker 3>oh yeah, oops. But you know, he's got great ideas

193
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:44.120
<v Speaker 3>for Ohio. He knows like I do, that Ohio is

194
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:45.840
<v Speaker 3>on the on the verge of a time where we

195
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:50.879
<v Speaker 3>can really move forward talking about energy production, talking about Yeah,

196
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.720
<v Speaker 3>and you know, the Second District stands ready, that's that's

197
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:55.879
<v Speaker 3>our history. We want to get back to doing that.

198
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.000
<v Speaker 3>The small modular nuclear facilities. We've got the only uranium

199
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.440
<v Speaker 3>enrichment American owned facility in the United States, smack dab

200
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 3>in the middle of the Second District. And now we're

201
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:07.720
<v Speaker 3>not afraid of the work. You know, it's not, as

202
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.360
<v Speaker 3>he stated, it's not three mile Island anymore. Yeah, it's

203
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:15.159
<v Speaker 3>a very safe, clean, affordable, you know, abundant source of energy.

204
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:17.519
<v Speaker 2>I've been screwing on the top of my lungs about

205
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:20.519
<v Speaker 2>that for years now. I mean, we're not building three

206
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.679
<v Speaker 2>mile islands. We have evolved since the nineteen seventies in

207
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.960
<v Speaker 2>nuclear technology and nuclear energy production, and these babies. It's

208
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.600
<v Speaker 2>kind of like legos. Yeah, you design one and you

209
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:32.600
<v Speaker 2>could pick it up and use the same damn thing

210
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:34.960
<v Speaker 2>over here. You don't have to, you know, tailor it

211
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:37.559
<v Speaker 2>to your landscape necessarily. They don't use a whole lot

212
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.279
<v Speaker 2>of space up they abundance of electricity and all. If

213
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:44.399
<v Speaker 2>you believe in climate change and you think carbon dioxide,

214
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.279
<v Speaker 2>which is plant food, is changing our climate, they don't

215
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:49.600
<v Speaker 2>produce any of that either, right, you know, I mean,

216
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:53.639
<v Speaker 2>why is the entergy, the the the the green. Where

217
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:56.480
<v Speaker 2>are the green folks against it? It's a mystery to me.

218
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.919
<v Speaker 3>They're starting to figure it out because they want all

219
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:04.480
<v Speaker 3>these electric mandates. They want data centers, which I'm all

220
00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:06.480
<v Speaker 3>for data centers, but they find out you have to

221
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:08.879
<v Speaker 3>have energy for that. Windmills don't run data center. They

222
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:11.240
<v Speaker 3>don't neither, do you know, solar panel fields for the

223
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:16.679
<v Speaker 3>most part. So they're recognizing that and that's a good thing,

224
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.799
<v Speaker 3>I think, but it's going to take a while thing

225
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:20.399
<v Speaker 3>to get them to actually do it. And sometimes you

226
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.879
<v Speaker 3>wonder if not, you know, actually fixing the problem shuts

227
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:27.799
<v Speaker 3>off the fundraising that goes around the problem. Hopefully that

228
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:29.679
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't be it. Let's pause.

229
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:33.120
<v Speaker 2>We're going to be Congressman Dave Taylor back for another segment,

230
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.360
<v Speaker 2>and then we'll hear from Mayor Old candidate Corey Bowman

231
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:38.120
<v Speaker 2>is gonna have any one and every everybody know about

232
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:41.759
<v Speaker 2>and we'll get a recap of his lunch with Smitherman

233
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:43.679
<v Speaker 2>as well. That'll take place at the bottom of the hour.

234
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:48.879
<v Speaker 2>Stick around, be right back fifty five the talk station prohibition.

235
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:52.080
<v Speaker 2>It's no secret that banning alcohol didn't think areas or

240
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:06.600
<v Speaker 2>and heavy rain is expected for tomorrow with a highest

<v Speaker 3>More raine and a few storms.

<v Speaker 2>Finally, the showers end during the day on Sunday and

244
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:15.000
<v Speaker 2>the flood rush ends on Sunday morning. Sunday's high fifty

256
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Taylor and studio are proudly representing the second District here

257
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.720
<v Speaker 2>in Ohio and seems enthused about the job and obviously

258
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:00.639
<v Speaker 2>is impressed by what's been going on so far by

259
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:02.879
<v Speaker 2>way of progress, at least as he and you and

260
00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:05.639
<v Speaker 2>I might perceive it. I want to ask you, though,

261
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:08.720
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of people sitting on the fence on

262
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:12.360
<v Speaker 2>this or you know, strong pro oponents or strong opponents,

263
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:14.679
<v Speaker 2>even folks on the same side of the political ledger.

264
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:16.679
<v Speaker 2>Of course, I got to ask you about tariffs.

265
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:17.799
<v Speaker 3>Now.

266
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't a big fan of tariffs until I took

267
00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:24.759
<v Speaker 2>a look at it was fine. I don't know how

268
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:27.399
<v Speaker 2>it took so long for me to see and know

269
00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:29.399
<v Speaker 2>and for all of us to genuinely come to an

270
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:32.679
<v Speaker 2>understanding about what other countries were charging by way of

271
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:37.080
<v Speaker 2>tariffs on the United States. I mean China sixty seven percent,

272
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:40.960
<v Speaker 2>I had no idea, and so ours now isn't even

273
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:45.320
<v Speaker 2>sixty seven percent, although it's pretty onerous. But nonetheless, you know,

274
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:47.639
<v Speaker 2>you look out in the world, some countries charging ninety

275
00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:51.159
<v Speaker 2>percent tariffs. Most of them were at ten to twenty percent,

276
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:54.039
<v Speaker 2>but we didn't have any tariffs on them previously, So

277
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:57.080
<v Speaker 2>what gives on that? And we've been able to play

278
00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:59.320
<v Speaker 2>along nicely in the world up until now, and then

279
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:01.320
<v Speaker 2>now people are in their hair out and losing their

280
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:04.200
<v Speaker 2>minds because, oh, we're going to cause a global economic

281
00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:06.080
<v Speaker 2>collapse because we decided to do what they've been doing

282
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:06.879
<v Speaker 2>to us all the time.

283
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:09.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Brian, I couldn't agree more on that. You know,

284
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:13.399
<v Speaker 3>we have in the United States the greatest consumer market

285
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:17.080
<v Speaker 3>on the planet possibly ever, which we've allowed every country

286
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:20.000
<v Speaker 3>in the world to access basically almost all of them,

287
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.720
<v Speaker 3>with no tariffs whatsoever. Meanwhile, they want to charge us

288
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.320
<v Speaker 3>to have access to their markets. So somehow in leveling

289
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:28.799
<v Speaker 3>that playing field, we're the bad guy. So I don't

290
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.840
<v Speaker 3>really understand that either. And you know, as far as

291
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:36.720
<v Speaker 3>expert opinions on tariffs, for every economists that says they're terrible,

292
00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:39.519
<v Speaker 3>I can find you one that says they're great, and

293
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:41.799
<v Speaker 3>economists is probably the only job in the world where

294
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:44.080
<v Speaker 3>you can be right less often than the weather man

295
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:49.120
<v Speaker 3>and still be considered an expert. But you know, since

296
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:52.039
<v Speaker 3>obviously you have to recognize that the tears have had

297
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:54.200
<v Speaker 3>a big impact on the markets over twenty four hours,

298
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:57.080
<v Speaker 3>but everybody knows that we were taking a long way

299
00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:59.600
<v Speaker 3>the wrong way over the last twelve of the last

300
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:02.960
<v Speaker 3>sixteen years. And it's it's not going to be utterly

301
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:04.600
<v Speaker 3>painless to fix it, but I do think it's going

302
00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:06.679
<v Speaker 3>to be a short term thing. We're seeing the ten

303
00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:11.559
<v Speaker 3>year Treasury bill going down, which is a huge good

304
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:13.480
<v Speaker 3>sign for the United States. That's I mean, that's how

305
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:15.440
<v Speaker 3>you finance your your long term debt.

306
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Right that's the interest payment on the credit card basically,

307
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, I mean you got to pay that, so

308
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:23.720
<v Speaker 2>we got to pay other countries. You'll be buying your

309
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:26.960
<v Speaker 2>tea bills six percent or eight percent. Clearly that's a

310
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:28.639
<v Speaker 2>lot of money annually. But if you only have to

311
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:32.000
<v Speaker 2>pay two or three percent, then you are saving money.

312
00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:35.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh absolutely, you know, we're Americans are for are for

313
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:37.960
<v Speaker 3>free trade, but it has to be fair too. I mean,

314
00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:42.639
<v Speaker 3>there's nothing fair about one one one way tariffs.

315
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm hoping it is short and a man that

316
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:48.519
<v Speaker 2>I have a tremendous amount of respect for, even though

317
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.960
<v Speaker 2>he is an economist. Thomas Sowell was asked about this

318
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.559
<v Speaker 2>the other day, and he went on to point out that, well,

319
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:58.000
<v Speaker 2>if the tariffs are intended as short term, limited measures

320
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:02.960
<v Speaker 2>to achieve strategic goals, they may be effective. But if

321
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:04.799
<v Speaker 2>they're left in place over the long term, they could

322
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.440
<v Speaker 2>replicate the devastating history of the global trade war that

323
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.600
<v Speaker 2>the Smooth Holly terrifact caused back in the Hoover administration.

324
00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:13.559
<v Speaker 2>And everybody that studied history knows about that, and that

325
00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:15.519
<v Speaker 2>certainly is a possibility, and that's what's that's the kind

326
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:16.559
<v Speaker 2>of thing that's got me worried.

327
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:20.360
<v Speaker 3>I agree that there's a I think the bulk of

328
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:23.480
<v Speaker 3>these these tariffs are are intended to be short term.

329
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:27.240
<v Speaker 3>Now with certain UH international players who might you might

330
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:29.759
<v Speaker 3>have longer term ones to project, you know, the American

331
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:34.559
<v Speaker 3>UH worker, say China, countries like that New North Korina,

332
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:39.399
<v Speaker 3>North Korea, of course. But it's interesting also that how

333
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:43.759
<v Speaker 3>many people over the last few years have expressed the

334
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:46.200
<v Speaker 3>the opinion that the tariffs are a good idea and

335
00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:50.519
<v Speaker 3>and long overdue for for America, including everybody from Obama

336
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:55.159
<v Speaker 3>to Pelosi to uh even Bernie Sanders. So it's funny

337
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:58.320
<v Speaker 3>how when when they're they're finally enacted, they're they're screaming

338
00:16:58.360 --> 00:16:58.960
<v Speaker 3>bloody murder.

339
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:01.799
<v Speaker 2>But well, it's cause evil orange man, right, because.

340
00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:03.159
<v Speaker 3>Somebody actually had the temerity to do it.

341
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:05.440
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, but and the person who did it is

342
00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:07.680
<v Speaker 2>evil orange man. If anything that Trump does that they

343
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:09.480
<v Speaker 2>wanted to do five minutes ago, they don't want to

344
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:13.039
<v Speaker 2>do now simply because Trump embraced the concept like fraud,

345
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:15.079
<v Speaker 2>waste and abuse. I mean, you've got every one of

346
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:17.839
<v Speaker 2>the politicians you just mentioned on record at some point

347
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:19.720
<v Speaker 2>in their political career saying we need to get rid

348
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:21.960
<v Speaker 2>of fraud, waste and abuse in government. Lo and behold,

349
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:24.039
<v Speaker 2>Elon Musk comes in starts doing that job, and they're

350
00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:25.000
<v Speaker 2>all pissed off about it.

351
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:27.920
<v Speaker 3>It's like, what, Yep, you can add Schumer to that list. Yes,

352
00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:30.839
<v Speaker 3>he did the same thing, absolutely, And they're right. You know,

353
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:34.480
<v Speaker 3>it's it's it's always popular to get up and say

354
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:37.039
<v Speaker 3>something that's true, and and when it was safe for

355
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:38.599
<v Speaker 3>them to do that and not have to worry about

356
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:40.839
<v Speaker 3>actually doing the work. That's when they said it.

357
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'll tell you what, David, it's been a real

358
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:44.440
<v Speaker 2>pleasure to having you in studio. We need to do

359
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:46.160
<v Speaker 2>this more often, either on the phone or you can

360
00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:48.240
<v Speaker 2>come in. And I always welcome folks come in studio,

361
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:50.400
<v Speaker 2>and I appreciate taking the effort to do that. I

362
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:52.720
<v Speaker 2>know you do a fine job representing the second district,

363
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:54.680
<v Speaker 2>and I uh, and keep up the great work and

364
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.079
<v Speaker 2>keep playing nicely together up there. I know you've got

365
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:01.400
<v Speaker 2>that big, that big, massive what is it a reconciliation

366
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:05.119
<v Speaker 2>build to accomplish? Just real quick, what's the water temperature

367
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:06.039
<v Speaker 2>on that right now?

368
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:08.880
<v Speaker 3>I think it's I think things are progressing well. There

369
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:13.160
<v Speaker 3>was there was a brief sort of uh slow down

370
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:15.240
<v Speaker 3>in the in the procedure with the Senate, but it's

371
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:17.759
<v Speaker 3>up and running again, and it looks like what they

372
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:19.519
<v Speaker 3>call the vote rama is going to happen where they

373
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:22.720
<v Speaker 3>get their end of it nailed down and send it

374
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:25.039
<v Speaker 3>back to us and finalize it and get it to

375
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:27.920
<v Speaker 3>the President's desk. So very hopeful. You know, I'm very

376
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:31.079
<v Speaker 3>proud of the work that Speaker Johnson has done dealing

377
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:35.240
<v Speaker 3>with you know, a million different kinds of personalities and agendas.

378
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:40.279
<v Speaker 3>And I'm very as Vivac was speaking about earlier in Ohio. Nationally,

379
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:44.640
<v Speaker 3>the Republican Caucuses is together. It's united. It understands that

380
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:47.400
<v Speaker 3>this is an opportunity that can't be missed to h

381
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:49.559
<v Speaker 3>to get this country going in the right direction again.

382
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:50.480
<v Speaker 3>And that's what we're doing.

383
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:53.039
<v Speaker 2>I just wish it had more spending cuts in it.

384
00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:56.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah right, Well, well we'll get another bite at the

385
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.839
<v Speaker 3>reconciliation apple before the end of this term. So what

386
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:02.480
<v Speaker 3>we do want to get the biggest bite we can

387
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:07.240
<v Speaker 3>of things that are fraud, waste, and abuse. We don't

388
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.359
<v Speaker 3>want to affect the benefits of people who deserve the

389
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:13.880
<v Speaker 3>benefits they're receiving. We want to enhance those understood. Well,

390
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:15.519
<v Speaker 3>it's been a real pleasure talking with you, my friend.

391
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:17.680
<v Speaker 3>I look forward to talking to you again real soon. Likewise,

392
00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:18.359
<v Speaker 3>thanks for having me in.

<v Speaker 2>It's been great. Have a wonderful weekend. It's eight twenty six, folks.

394
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Stick around, Corey Bowman. It's going to have any wants

395
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:25.240
<v Speaker 2>to talk to you about, and we're going to get

396
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.200
<v Speaker 2>a recap of what was it like having lunch with

397
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.559
<v Speaker 2>Christopher Smithman. Corey Bowman up next stick around. This is

398
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:34.960
<v Speaker 2>fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station. The simply money minute

399
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:35.079
<v Speaker 2>is
