<v Speaker 1>Your summer back, back of the information.

2
00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:05.839
<v Speaker 2>I love how they just cover everything.

3
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:13.080
<v Speaker 1>Fifty five KRC the talk station Ato five and fifty

4
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:18.640
<v Speaker 1>five KRC de Talk Station. Happy Friday, Extra Special, welcome back.

5
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.640
<v Speaker 1>It's extra special because we get the return of proudly

6
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.800
<v Speaker 1>representing Ohio's second District Congressman David tayl Or. Good to

7
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>have you back, Dave. That's a giant chunk of land,

8
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>that second district, and we thank everyone in the second

9
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:32.039
<v Speaker 1>District for putting you in office. It's good to have

10
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:33.159
<v Speaker 1>you back on the morning show.

11
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Brian. It's not about the prettiest part of Ohio.

12
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:38.600
<v Speaker 2>We're glad to represent it.

13
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:40.679
<v Speaker 1>I know you're proud of it, and I will get

14
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:42.159
<v Speaker 1>I will let you know. Brig him account from the

15
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Hudsonents too, was just in the show for the last

16
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:46.840
<v Speaker 1>hour talking about energy policy and his economic meeting in

17
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.399
<v Speaker 1>Europe that he attended. On his way out, he said, oh,

18
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:51.359
<v Speaker 1>David Taylor is going to be on. He's a great guy.

19
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:53.479
<v Speaker 1>I really think the world of him. So if Brigha

20
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.560
<v Speaker 1>McCowan likes you, I think that's a rubber stamp of approval.

21
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad to hear that. I appreciate that. I'm saying

22
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.119
<v Speaker 2>that the hard work they do well.

23
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>You voted in favor of the one, Big Beautiful Bill.

24
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:06.319
<v Speaker 1>I do not like the name of it, but I

25
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:07.879
<v Speaker 1>like a lot about what's in it.

26
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:08.079
<v Speaker 2>Now.

27
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of on the the Thomas Massey Ran Paul

28
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.319
<v Speaker 1>side of the equation about the deficit hole we keep

29
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:17.799
<v Speaker 1>digging ourselves in. It looks like there's no end in sight.

30
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:21.040
<v Speaker 1>But despite that, there are some really good things in it.

31
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:24.359
<v Speaker 1>And the Democrats is screaming and yelling, mostly about the

32
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:28.079
<v Speaker 1>cuts to Medicaid, although they seem to want to overlook

33
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>that this would have been the largest tax increase had

34
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 1>it not passed that America has ever seen all these

35
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.319
<v Speaker 1>middle class homes. And they keep talking about billionaires getting

36
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 1>a tax cut. They never quite mentioned the fact that

37
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.040
<v Speaker 1>the middle class also is getting a rather extraordinary tax

38
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.079
<v Speaker 1>cut considering the income brackets involved.

39
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.599
<v Speaker 2>No doubt, Brian, the actually middle and lower income folks

40
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.480
<v Speaker 2>we are going to see the bigger percentage of tax

41
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.920
<v Speaker 2>break from the Big Beautiful Bill. There really are no

42
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:58.959
<v Speaker 2>cuts to Medicaid. You know, we got through quite a

43
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:02.560
<v Speaker 2>bit of debate. You're probably followed some of that in

44
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>our sort of all night session, and I listened to

45
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.400
<v Speaker 2>what I didn't. I might have lost count at some point,

46
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:08.800
<v Speaker 2>but I believe it was about one hundred and five

47
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Democrats stand up in demand that there be no cuts whatsoever,

48
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:17.199
<v Speaker 2>no no looking whatsoever at Medicaid or SNAP for any

49
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.240
<v Speaker 2>kind of fraud, waste abuse. They wanted illegals to continue

50
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.159
<v Speaker 2>to benefit from it. They wanted absolutely nothing done to

51
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:27.479
<v Speaker 2>stop the massive overspent on those those two programs, two

52
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.360
<v Speaker 2>vital programs that you know are not sustainable if we

53
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.120
<v Speaker 2>don't look at how the money is spent. So they

54
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:35.400
<v Speaker 2>lined up and all made the exact same motion, saying,

55
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 2>we demand illegals on these programs, We demand other frausters

56
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:42.159
<v Speaker 2>to continue to get their money, and we demand that

57
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.360
<v Speaker 2>the the bureaucracy itself continued to be wasteful. So it

58
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 2>was something to see.

59
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.319
<v Speaker 1>It really is and was, And you know, one one

60
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.319
<v Speaker 1>must look to the original purpose of Medicaid, which to

61
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 1>help those on life's margins, get them through the bad

62
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>phase of their life they're going in so that they

63
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:00.719
<v Speaker 1>can then free themselves with the build court of government

64
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully go on and get a job. But by

65
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:05.599
<v Speaker 1>expanding Medicaid ranks which is what Obamacare, what they did

66
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>during the Obama administration, and offering these welfare benefits to

67
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>able bodied people who should be in the workforce. I

68
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 1>think it's revealing of the ultimate subterfuge that's going on here,

69
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.199
<v Speaker 1>which is their ultimate goal, the Democrats goal to really

70
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>turn Medicaid into what they wanted, which was national healthcare

71
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>coverage for all. They wanted to put everyone on Medicaid

72
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:28.159
<v Speaker 1>at some point.

73
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Right And you know another thing, it's kind of cynical

74
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:38.439
<v Speaker 2>in my mind that the CBO says that millions of

75
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.039
<v Speaker 2>people are going to lose their Medicaid coverage because the

76
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.599
<v Speaker 2>work requirements come in. The idea that these people might

77
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 2>instead comply with the work requirements, which factually are not

78
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 2>work requirements to begin with, doesn't cross their mind. Like

79
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.000
<v Speaker 2>these work requirements come in, which we have in basically

80
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 2>every other federal safety net program. These come in, and

81
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:04.000
<v Speaker 2>their their presumption is that they're just gonna refuse to

82
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:06.960
<v Speaker 2>meet these requirements, which include you you can you can volunteer,

83
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.919
<v Speaker 2>you can get word training for the terrible cost of

84
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty hours a week, which most Americans don't even consider

85
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.639
<v Speaker 2>a full time job. You can volunteer at your own

86
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.600
<v Speaker 2>child's school twenty hours a week and meet this requirement.

87
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:24.120
<v Speaker 1>And continue to get to online, right, and continue to

88
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>get the benefits. I mean, you're not losing your coverage.

89
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:28.160
<v Speaker 1>You just need to get off your butt for a

90
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>couple of minutes a week, right, I mean, isn't that

91
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:30.839
<v Speaker 1>what this comes down to.

92
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:35.839
<v Speaker 2>Exactly? And you can, Brian, you can literally do it

93
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:37.560
<v Speaker 2>from your butt. You can do it on the computer.

94
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 2>That all makes you want. That's an excellent point. And

95
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:42.079
<v Speaker 2>meet the requirements.

96
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh wow, you know. And I it's just well, anyway,

97
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.439
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to make a mount of a molehill of

98
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 1>a non issue effectively, is what this is. So you know,

99
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.600
<v Speaker 1>women with young children and disabled folks and everybody else

100
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:58.639
<v Speaker 1>is going to ttinue to get their medicaid benefits. But

101
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:00.759
<v Speaker 1>there is a heap lot of fraud, waste and abuse,

102
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>and there are a whole lot of illegal immigrants that

103
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.199
<v Speaker 1>sign up for these social welfare safety net programs. But

104
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:08.199
<v Speaker 1>the fundamental point that almost was glossed over in your

105
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.800
<v Speaker 1>initial comments, no snowfall of view, is these programs are

106
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:16.040
<v Speaker 1>on a downward slide to becoming bankrupt. I mean, we

107
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.079
<v Speaker 1>hear about its social Security all the time, they're going

108
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.160
<v Speaker 1>to be taking less money in then they pay out.

109
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>That is a huge problem for folks who rely on

110
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Social Security. Medicare and Medicaid are kind of in the

111
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>same boat. They're not sustainable in the current trajectory. So

112
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.199
<v Speaker 1>history will look back and perhaps say, you know what,

113
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:35.279
<v Speaker 1>the saviors of Medicaid or the Republican Party.

114
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Right like the people you just talked about in pregnant women, children, seniors,

115
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.879
<v Speaker 2>people with disabilities that rely on Medicaid are in the

116
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 2>long run going to lose their benefits because we can't

117
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.319
<v Speaker 2>do it anymore because it's unsustainable. So if we don't

118
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.480
<v Speaker 2>weed out they illegals, the people who are the so

119
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 2>called able bodied adults without dependence who just refuse to work.

120
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.319
<v Speaker 2>If we don't get these sort of folks that shouldn't

121
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.600
<v Speaker 2>be on there to begin with off, these programs will

122
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.120
<v Speaker 2>be sustainable for the people who truly need it. And

123
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.160
<v Speaker 2>as you said, these programs are supposed to be temporary

124
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.040
<v Speaker 2>help to get you back on your feet. As Chairman

125
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 2>Thompson says, it is supposed to be a trampoline, not

126
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 2>a spider web. When you hit it and it helps

127
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.639
<v Speaker 2>you back up, the goal of all these programs has

128
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.439
<v Speaker 2>to be to get folks back on their feet well.

129
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:27.879
<v Speaker 1>And the other component of this is I would argue

130
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.040
<v Speaker 1>that this twenty hour a week, you know a training

131
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:33.240
<v Speaker 1>requirement if you want to call it for some or

132
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:35.439
<v Speaker 1>you know community service requirement if you want to go

133
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>down that road to fulfill your twenty hours. But in

134
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:40.480
<v Speaker 1>so far as job training is concerned, it couldn't come

135
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.360
<v Speaker 1>at a better time. I got Jack Winsor going to

136
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:43.920
<v Speaker 1>join the program at bottom they are. He's the editor

137
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:47.319
<v Speaker 1>in chief over the Hile Press network. Talking about small

138
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.879
<v Speaker 1>business owners struggling to fill jobs. I mean, the trades

139
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.160
<v Speaker 1>are a wonderful career opportunity. It doesn't take a four

140
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 1>year education to get a job in the trades, electric plumbing, HVACM,

141
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.959
<v Speaker 1>there's a multitude truction. Demand is high, and you've got

142
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.879
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of small businesses clamoring for people willing to work. Boom.

143
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.040
<v Speaker 1>The answer to your prayer is, Okay, I got to

144
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.040
<v Speaker 1>do some job training. Why not go out there and

145
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>earn while I learn in the trade profession. Timing's perfect, right, yeah?

146
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh absolutely. The primary complaint I hear from small business

147
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>owners throughout the second District is we just can't get

148
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:26.079
<v Speaker 1>anybody to work. Well, you continue to make the finance

149
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.079
<v Speaker 1>their lifestyle from their home, then they're not going to work.

150
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:32.439
<v Speaker 1>So changes have to be made. These able bodied folks

151
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.439
<v Speaker 1>need to work. They're all going to be happier in

152
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:36.480
<v Speaker 1>the long run because, as you and I know, they

153
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>don't make the rules. But if you feel like you're

154
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>contributing something at work, you come home at the end

155
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:45.959
<v Speaker 1>of the day generally are a happier person. You may

156
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.240
<v Speaker 1>not all love your job every minute of every day,

157
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>but at the end of the week you say, you know,

158
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.759
<v Speaker 1>I accomplished something this week. Somebody needed me and I

159
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:56.759
<v Speaker 1>was there. That helps people. There's no way around it.

160
00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:59.279
<v Speaker 1>All right, we go a couple of minutes left in

161
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the segment. Congressman Dave Taylor from the second District, what's

162
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:09.639
<v Speaker 1>beyond the enshrinement of the tax cuts permanent? Which is

163
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.240
<v Speaker 1>great hate. I could go on a tear about all

164
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.279
<v Speaker 1>the times they do tax policy and it's limited some

165
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:18.079
<v Speaker 1>short period of time or ten years. They kick the

166
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:19.680
<v Speaker 1>can down the road, and they forced another Congress to

167
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:22.199
<v Speaker 1>have to address it. At least this is permanent. If

168
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.199
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna want to raise taxes. You're gonna have to

169
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>run on it, right, I mean, and no one likes

170
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:29.319
<v Speaker 1>to hear about their taxes going up, So good luck

171
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:31.319
<v Speaker 1>with trying to raise taxes down the road. So that

172
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:34.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of bursts the bubble of that possibility. If we

173
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:36.559
<v Speaker 1>get a Democrat Congress, they may try, but I don't

174
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.559
<v Speaker 1>think it will be popular with American people. Considering Trump

175
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:42.639
<v Speaker 1>ran on this. I mean, he was elected by a

176
00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:45.080
<v Speaker 1>majority of the population, he won the majority of states,

177
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:47.080
<v Speaker 1>he won the electoral college across the board. It was

178
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.600
<v Speaker 1>a win, and he did not pull any punches letting

179
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.080
<v Speaker 1>the American people know what his agenda would be. This

180
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:54.480
<v Speaker 1>was in there. It's what we wanted.

181
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:00.639
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely right. Usually you get these big thousand page bills

182
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.080
<v Speaker 2>and there's a bunch of so called pork in there.

183
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.639
<v Speaker 2>Every every aspect of the big beautiful bill is a

184
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:12.120
<v Speaker 2>campaign promise President Trump made. It's the agenda that people

185
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.919
<v Speaker 2>voted for in November is being implemented. It's you know,

186
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:18.000
<v Speaker 2>it's being codified. And as you said, you're the tax

187
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:21.879
<v Speaker 2>policy is vital. And the fact that these tax changes

188
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:25.279
<v Speaker 2>are not sunset, not sunsetting. It was part of the

189
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:30.000
<v Speaker 2>negotiation process. So the doubling of the tax child tax credit,

190
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:34.159
<v Speaker 2>doubling of the standard deduction, the twenty percent deduction for

191
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:38.519
<v Speaker 2>small businesses, the death tax tax exemption is doubled and

192
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:41.480
<v Speaker 2>made permanent. It goes on and on, and it's going

193
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.159
<v Speaker 2>to be to the extreme benefit of you know, main

194
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:48.639
<v Speaker 2>street America. So no bill is perfect, but it's a

195
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:49.360
<v Speaker 2>darn good.

196
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:52.440
<v Speaker 1>One, and you know, don't throw out the good for

197
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.080
<v Speaker 1>the sake of the perfect. I understand that argument. Of course,

198
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.240
<v Speaker 1>it's been made over again and the lead up to it,

199
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:00.080
<v Speaker 1>because there was some concern whether you know, the likes

200
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.320
<v Speaker 1>of Thomas Massey and others wouldn't get the perfection they

201
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:06.399
<v Speaker 1>were looking for. But I understand their principal point. Let's

202
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>continue with Congressman Dave Taylor after take quick Breakcare mentioned

203
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.080
<v Speaker 1>plump type plumbing because you deserve better. Plum type plumbing

204
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.960
<v Speaker 1>delivers on better, better customer service, better prices. They don't

205
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.480
<v Speaker 1>charge the service fee, they don't charge for an estimate,

206
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.519
<v Speaker 1>the aplus and the better business bureau. Some pump issues

207
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.240
<v Speaker 1>have experienced a heavy rain of light. Now there's a

208
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.960
<v Speaker 1>problem they can easily fix for you. Slower clog drains.

209
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:29.399
<v Speaker 1>Of course, Number one installer on the tri State. For

210
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:32.639
<v Speaker 1>tankless water heaters, you can save money, have unlimited hot water,

211
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.399
<v Speaker 1>save a huge amount of space by going with tankless,

212
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:40.039
<v Speaker 1>which actually lasts longer than the traditional tank units by

213
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:44.000
<v Speaker 1>about five or more years. It's great for growing families,

214
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.200
<v Speaker 1>folks who regularly run out of water, that kind of thing,

215
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.240
<v Speaker 1>because you do get that unlimited hot water. They also

216
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:51.399
<v Speaker 1>offer trenchless sewer line repair, no digging up your yard.

217
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Call the professionals a plumbing done right. It's plumbing done

218
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:57.000
<v Speaker 1>right and they live by that motto. Five one three

219
00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.759
<v Speaker 1>seven two seven tite five one three seven to two

220
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:02.200
<v Speaker 1>of an eighty four eighty three Online you find them

221
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:08.480
<v Speaker 1>at plumtight dot com fifty five krc OHC. Still, what

222
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.000
<v Speaker 1>else is in that that you are particularly fond of

223
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.679
<v Speaker 1>or proud of, Dave Taylor? Beyond the tax cuts which

224
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:15.799
<v Speaker 1>I think you and I chategory across the border great

225
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:16.480
<v Speaker 1>for everybody.

226
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the very important for our district was the community

227
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:26.279
<v Speaker 2>in rural hospital funding. I think everybody that you looked

228
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:29.200
<v Speaker 2>into it much knows that the provider tax structure we

229
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:31.279
<v Speaker 2>use now to fund it, it's sort of sort of

230
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.200
<v Speaker 2>an inherently unfair to the taxpayer system. On the other hand,

231
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.679
<v Speaker 2>community hospitals have to can you continue to be funded fully?

232
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:41.080
<v Speaker 2>And you know, we have great community hospitals in the

233
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Second District. We just need more of them, so funding

234
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:47.159
<v Speaker 2>has to continue. So my hat's off to the Senate

235
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:51.879
<v Speaker 2>for the changes they made to how community hospitals are funded.

236
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:57.120
<v Speaker 2>We're in close contact with Senator Houston and Senator Marino

237
00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:59.519
<v Speaker 2>and the community hospital leaders from from the Second District

238
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:02.960
<v Speaker 2>and around the state. Before the big beautiful bill got

239
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.240
<v Speaker 2>across the finish line. They came up with a great solution.

240
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:09.000
<v Speaker 2>The community hospitals are very pleased with it. And for

241
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:10.960
<v Speaker 2>those of you they have Ohioans and think, oh, we

242
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:14.519
<v Speaker 2>have two brand new senators, maybe we're not getting the

243
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:16.440
<v Speaker 2>best bang for a buck in the Senate. I promise

244
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:20.600
<v Speaker 2>those two guys are kicking the same thing we were

245
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:22.720
<v Speaker 2>talking about sitting on earlier. They're doing a great job

246
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:26.759
<v Speaker 2>over there in the Senate for Ohio in all kinds

247
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:29.440
<v Speaker 2>of ways. So very proud to get to work with

248
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:30.279
<v Speaker 2>those guys. Well.

249
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.200
<v Speaker 1>In terms of energy policy, I understand it's a large

250
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:36.919
<v Speaker 1>expansion of domestic oil and gas production capacity. I know

251
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:39.039
<v Speaker 1>it comes at a kind of an odd time globally

252
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:41.720
<v Speaker 1>with OPEC increasing output, and I think it's done with

253
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:45.200
<v Speaker 1>a specific design to keep us from opening more wells.

254
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:47.639
<v Speaker 1>But we'll deal with the consequences of that as we

255
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:49.360
<v Speaker 1>move forward. But also, and this is something I talked

256
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:52.840
<v Speaker 1>with Brigham the gown about, with energy policy, an opportunity

257
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:55.600
<v Speaker 1>to start building more nuclear power plants, which I think

258
00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>are the ultimate key and answer to our energy production

259
00:12:58.799 --> 00:12:59.919
<v Speaker 1>issues here in America.

260
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:06.039
<v Speaker 2>I agree, Brandon, you have the the second District is

261
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.799
<v Speaker 2>going to have a large part to play with that.

262
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:10.720
<v Speaker 2>As I think we might have talked about last time.

263
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:14.440
<v Speaker 2>We have the only uranium enrichment facility that's American owned

264
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:18.000
<v Speaker 2>in the United States and Pike County. But yeah, I

265
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.720
<v Speaker 2>like hearing all forms of energy talked about. I'm for

266
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:23.480
<v Speaker 2>You're even people are even talking about coal that the

267
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:27.080
<v Speaker 2>President's talking about the coal again. But I do believe

268
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:30.759
<v Speaker 2>nuclear is the future, and you know that's it's gonna

269
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.399
<v Speaker 2>it could very well be the epicenter of it right

270
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:37.159
<v Speaker 2>here in southern Ohio. Uh, there are small modular nuclear

271
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.240
<v Speaker 2>reactorc companies who are eyeing the site and uh, we're

272
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.519
<v Speaker 2>hoping for big things out of there. You know, it's obviously,

273
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:47.200
<v Speaker 2>it's clean, it's abund and it's cheap. It's it's a

274
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:51.679
<v Speaker 2>solution to every aspect of the the energy concerns, whether

275
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:57.320
<v Speaker 2>it does be environmental or supply and uh, it's a road.

276
00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:59.919
<v Speaker 2>We have to travel in it safely, responsibly and soon,

277
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:01.039
<v Speaker 2>all right.

278
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.440
<v Speaker 1>And one of the criticisms from many, I think think

279
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I will throw myself into the hat along that. Not

280
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:08.440
<v Speaker 1>that I'm against funding the military, but when you have

281
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:11.279
<v Speaker 1>an American military and a budget that they cannot even

282
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:14.679
<v Speaker 1>pass an audit five times in a row, I call

283
00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:16.799
<v Speaker 1>that a giant red flag, most notably on the heels

284
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:18.759
<v Speaker 1>of what DOGE was able to figure out with even

285
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.399
<v Speaker 1>just one department of government that's usaid. No one is

286
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:24.240
<v Speaker 1>ever going to be able to convince me there isn't

287
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:27.080
<v Speaker 1>massive amounts of fraud, waste, and abuse in American military,

288
00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:29.679
<v Speaker 1>which has now has a budget of a trillion dollars.

289
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:31.759
<v Speaker 1>Is there any hope that I'm going to have my

290
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.840
<v Speaker 1>prayers answered that will unleash DOGE or some other entity

291
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.720
<v Speaker 1>like an Inspector General on the military spending budget to

292
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:40.600
<v Speaker 1>fire it out the fraud, waste, abuse. So maybe we

293
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:43.080
<v Speaker 1>don't have to spend that much mundy annually to keep

294
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>our military ready and armed.

295
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the brand, I think you're even being extra kind.

296
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:53.519
<v Speaker 2>I think it's eight audits able to meet their number.

297
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.279
<v Speaker 2>So either way, one is too many. And the Big

298
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.039
<v Speaker 2>Beautiful Bill does have one hundred fifty billion dollars for

299
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:04.799
<v Speaker 2>modernization of our military, which is vill you're getting out

300
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:08.519
<v Speaker 2>built in navy vessels by China at an alarming rate and

301
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:11.879
<v Speaker 2>at a current we don't even have the capacity to

302
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:14.480
<v Speaker 2>build at the rate their buildings. Right, money has to

303
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:17.360
<v Speaker 2>be spent, but it has to be spent wisely. And

304
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:22.200
<v Speaker 2>I think you know that the dose activity is going

305
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.600
<v Speaker 2>to continue even without Elon Musk And obviously the Department

306
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:28.879
<v Speaker 2>of Defense is how long have we heard the joke

307
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:35.879
<v Speaker 2>about the five hundred dollars toilet seed? Yeah, so it

308
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:39.240
<v Speaker 2>just you know, chugs on and on. So it has

309
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:42.600
<v Speaker 2>to be looked into our dollars. We worked hard for them,

310
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:45.080
<v Speaker 2>and we're happy to spend them to protect our country.

311
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:47.240
<v Speaker 2>But that's what they need to be spent on, not

312
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:49.159
<v Speaker 2>on a bloated waste. All right.

313
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:51.919
<v Speaker 1>And finally, before we heard of our company, Congressman Taylor,

314
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:56.360
<v Speaker 1>we got money to secure border. Lots more ice officers money,

315
00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:58.639
<v Speaker 1>more border patrol agents, all of which are apparently doing

316
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:01.360
<v Speaker 1>a very effective job right now. Do you think it's

317
00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:04.799
<v Speaker 1>still necessary to build a wall? I mean, considering the

318
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:08.039
<v Speaker 1>last administration and the numbers just flowing over the border,

319
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:10.799
<v Speaker 1>that was because it was facilitated. I mean, we hung

320
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:13.559
<v Speaker 1>a dangling cart of open borders and free benefits and

321
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:15.559
<v Speaker 1>stuff and things. The world showed up at the southern

322
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>border and in the northern border as well, and we

323
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:19.399
<v Speaker 1>didn't do anything to stop it. As soon as Trump

324
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:23.279
<v Speaker 1>gets elected, it's almost it stopped completely. I mean there

325
00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:26.279
<v Speaker 1>were very few interactions, and those who interacted with ICE

326
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:28.960
<v Speaker 1>agents were sent back home so they weren't admitted into

327
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the United States. We've almost shut down the illegal flow

328
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:34.960
<v Speaker 1>of immigration. Do we really need the wall if the

329
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:37.360
<v Speaker 1>agents themselves are doing an effective job of stopping the

330
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:38.200
<v Speaker 1>flow of humanity.

331
00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:42.279
<v Speaker 2>It's a good question, Brian. I think on a cost

332
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:46.039
<v Speaker 2>to effectiveness basis, we should be going forward with the wall,

333
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:48.519
<v Speaker 2>and they are certain parts, so the bigger part of

334
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:51.799
<v Speaker 2>it is not wall. I think there's seven hundred miles

335
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:55.120
<v Speaker 2>left to cover, or seven hundred miles of wall and

336
00:16:55.200 --> 00:17:00.039
<v Speaker 2>sixteen hundred total miles left to secure and for the

337
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:02.679
<v Speaker 2>dollars at that cost and effect the effectiveness that it

338
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:05.640
<v Speaker 2>has long term, especially in the event of a we

339
00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:11.599
<v Speaker 2>go back to a Democrat controlled Congress and White House

340
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:14.400
<v Speaker 2>where you know, there what seemed to be their primary

341
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:16.920
<v Speaker 2>motivation was to get as many people as possible across

342
00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:19.920
<v Speaker 2>the southern border. At least the wall would serve to

343
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.599
<v Speaker 2>slow it down in that circumstance. Uh So, yeah, I think,

344
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, you know, for value for a dollar. Yeah,

345
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:28.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm for the wall, for the for the barricade, because

346
00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:31.640
<v Speaker 2>it's going to help our border patrol too. We went

347
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:34.599
<v Speaker 2>down to uh the Gallas crossing point, and I mean

348
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:37.400
<v Speaker 2>that place is immaculate. They were showing us the intake

349
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:40.039
<v Speaker 2>and holding areas and there wasn't the sole in there

350
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:41.920
<v Speaker 2>that when while we were there, we didn't see anybody

351
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.359
<v Speaker 2>even attempt to cross. And those guys are happy as

352
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:46.440
<v Speaker 2>they can be, and they're working hard and been you know,

353
00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:48.359
<v Speaker 2>allowed to do their job, which is all they ever

354
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.160
<v Speaker 2>asked for. So I'm from making their job as easy

355
00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:55.720
<v Speaker 2>as possible, for protecting America at the highest level we

356
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:57.960
<v Speaker 2>can for the most reasonable price we can, and I

357
00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:58.920
<v Speaker 2>think the wall does that.

358
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:01.519
<v Speaker 1>Dave Taylor and thanks to all those in the second

359
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:03.680

360
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:06.079
<v Speaker 1>job up there. And keep up the great work, Dave,

361
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:08.519
<v Speaker 1>and we'll continue as we move forward with the Trump

362
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:11.079
<v Speaker 1>administration see if he can't fulfill more of his promises

363
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.119
<v Speaker 1>that he ran on. And Dave keep doing the great work,

364
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:16.319
<v Speaker 1>my friend. I'll look forward to having it back in
