Speaker 1: Seven thirty three fifty five krc DE talk station on
Speaker 1: Time's always Hapy, Tohit Donovan and Neil from the Americans for
Speaker 1: Prosperity on the program especially, We've got big things coming up. Donovan,
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Brian,
Speaker 1: always good to be with. You need to get these
Speaker 1: Trump tax cuts in place permanently, and I always have
Speaker 1: to observe why they put an end to them when
Speaker 1: they enact them just blows my mind. Just anyway, here
Speaker 1: we are with them expiring, and everybody's going to get hit.
Speaker 1: It's not just tax cuts for the rich, as the
Speaker 1: left keeps saying. This is really going to hit the
Speaker 1: middle class very hard.
Speaker 3: Yeah. You know, Americans under the four years of Joe
Speaker 3: Biden and Kamala Harris with Bidenomics, saw their cost of
Speaker 3: living increased dramatically, Folks paying twelve to fifteen thousand dollars
Speaker 3: more than under the prior administration. And you know, so
Speaker 3: inflation's hitting folks hard. But if Congress fills to act
Speaker 3: their tax bills are going to go up. On average,
Speaker 3: every America will pay fifteen hundred dollars more. Should the
Speaker 3: Trump tax cuts of twenty seventeen be allowed to expire
Speaker 3: at the end of this year, and so there, you know,
Speaker 3: it's a one two punch Brian from the inflationary you know,
Speaker 3: so called Hitden tax of out of control government spending,
Speaker 3: and then a very real visible tax when you file
Speaker 3: your tax bill between now in April fifteenth, should these
Speaker 3: expire on your tax bill? So it'll get you from
Speaker 3: both sides. If Congress doesn't act.
Speaker 1: Soon, well, by doing it through reconciliation, which seems to
Speaker 1: be the direction they're going to go, they don't need
Speaker 1: a sixty vote majority in the Senate. They can do
Speaker 1: it with a simple majority. I've seen different proposals going
Speaker 1: out there. There's one, you know, comprehensive all under one
Speaker 1: resolution proposal, and then there's the two step solution. I
Speaker 1: think Donald Trump's in favor of the former. Do you
Speaker 1: Is that your understanding as well? Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think that's something that broke in the last twenty
Speaker 3: four to forty eight hours is you know, the President
Speaker 3: has said, let's go for the big, beautiful bill, and
Speaker 3: that's the you know, that's the beauty of the executive
Speaker 3: They can set that agenda and Donald Trump is more
Speaker 3: than happy, as you know we all know, to set
Speaker 3: his Vision seventh agenda and drive towards it. And I
Speaker 3: think that you know, it makes a lot of sense. Congress.
Speaker 3: You've got a lot more numbers in Congress. It's a
Speaker 3: lot more work that Speaker Johnson's got to do to
Speaker 3: keep that conference together.
Speaker 1: He'll do it.
Speaker 3: But if we can get all this done together, it's
Speaker 3: what the American people want, and tax cuts are among
Speaker 3: the most important, at least and most importantly retaining the
Speaker 3: tax cuts that we have had since twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1: All right, let's pause. It went a little along with
Speaker 1: the conger or with the representative of the prior segment.
Speaker 1: I'll bring you back. We'll talk a few more details
Speaker 1: on that, and also get a little more information on
Speaker 1: the upcoming event where I know you're buying dinner for
Speaker 1: folks to talk about this. So pause, will bring Donovan
Speaker 1: and Neil for Americans for Prosperity back, and I will
Speaker 1: mention Cover since I do show every Sunday eight o'clock
Speaker 1: with John Roman from Cover sinceing and we talk about
Speaker 1: medical insurance, and you think again, I'm going to tune
Speaker 1: into that. Actually, it is really enlightening. I've learned so
Speaker 1: much and John Roman has taught me so much about
Speaker 1: how there is a better way for everyone to get
Speaker 1: medical insurance and that's by having a broker working for you,
Speaker 1: not an insurance company. I bet your employer probably just
Speaker 1: went with the first major insurance company that came by,
Speaker 1: and you got like three choices. All of them suck
Speaker 1: and all of them are really expensive. It doesn't have
Speaker 1: to work that way with cover. Since he working for
Speaker 1: you and having access to hundreds of insurance companies and
Speaker 1: quite literally thousands of different policies, you may end up
Speaker 1: with a package of layered coverage. And that's great for
Speaker 1: you because by layering coverage, you can get dollar one
Speaker 1: coverage for a lot of services. Then you've got your
Speaker 1: catastrophic kind of coverage, and it's less money, a lot
Speaker 1: less money. He's saving people forty to sixty percent on premiums,
Speaker 1: and for small groups, he can improve your business's bottom
Speaker 1: line while making your employers or employees much happier with
Speaker 1: better medical coverage that isn't setting them back so much money.
Speaker 1: That's called employee retention, and in fact, you can use
Speaker 1: that as a dangling carrot to get the best people
Speaker 1: to where to work for you, because you can explain
Speaker 1: to them how great the coverage is and how little
Speaker 1: they'll pay. It is certainly worth a phone call. It
Speaker 1: doesn't obligate you to do anything. Let them check and
Speaker 1: see what you are or who you are, what you've
Speaker 1: got going on in your world, like you got a
Speaker 1: family with kids, or maybe you're a little older and
Speaker 1: the kids moved out. They can address any situation and
Speaker 1: you will be very pleased with what they can do
Speaker 1: for you. And then you get the team to continue
Speaker 1: with you with no additional charge. They'll solve any claim,
Speaker 1: disputes or problems you've got once you're insured through cover.

Speaker 1: Station SIF five KRCD talk station Brian Thomas, W. Donovan
Speaker 1: and Neil for Americans for Prosperity talking about extending the
Speaker 1: Donald Trump tax cuts, the tax cuts and jobs at
Speaker 1: TCJA and DONOVD. What about all the screams in whaling
Speaker 1: and nashing teeth. People say, oh my god, we need
Speaker 1: to get more taxes into the government because they overspend,
Speaker 1: and you know, the deficits getting bigger and bigger. That's
Speaker 1: called a problem, but it also ignores the reality that
Speaker 1: by lowering taxes, more tax revenue ends up flowing into
Speaker 1: government because we engage in more economic activity with the
Speaker 1: money we get to keep.
Speaker 3: That's absolutely right, That's that's what happened when we did.
Speaker 3: Every time we've cut taxes, the government has found a
Speaker 3: way has ended up with more money. Why because a
Speaker 3: couple of different things. One, compliance costs go down, right,
Speaker 3: and so folks are it's easier for them to actually
Speaker 3: pay what they owe the government, and the government gets
Speaker 3: you know, what it deserves. I suppose I still think
Speaker 3: it's too much, but they get it, and you know,
Speaker 3: so the compliance costs of filing taxes go down. You
Speaker 3: also see folks spending that money in other parts of
Speaker 3: the economy. Right, So we're not talking about eliminating all
Speaker 3: taxes here. We're not even talking about eliminating the federal
Speaker 3: income tax, although I'm a fan of that. We're just
Speaker 3: talking about making a little less burden some for folks
Speaker 3: so they can choose where to spend their money. Whereas
Speaker 3: it than bureaucrats like the folks at USAID are at
Speaker 3: rest in peace now being able to spend that money
Speaker 3: on wacky projects around the world. It's real simple, it's
Speaker 3: real straightforward. It has a tangible impact on the livelihoods
Speaker 3: of working class Americans and Ohioans when government lowers those
Speaker 3: taxes and keeps those rates as low as possible.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, going back to I think what we
Speaker 1: can describe as our own worst enemy is a lot
Speaker 1: of the Republicans aren't in favor of cutting the amount
Speaker 1: of spending coming out of federal government. That's why I'm
Speaker 1: a little worried about this reconciliation package because you know,
Speaker 1: not in my state. If you cut that, then my
Speaker 1: state's going to suffer. And it's like, well, sucks to
Speaker 1: be you. It's time for some belt tightening, you know.
Speaker 3: No, absolutely, absolutely right, absolutely right, And I think part
Speaker 3: of that belt tightening is not feeding the beast anymore money, right,
Speaker 3: and getting keeping the tax rates low so that you know,
Speaker 3: we can we can then begin to have the conversation,
Speaker 3: although that's already happening with things like the DOGE and
Speaker 3: what Donald Trump is doing to get the executive branch
Speaker 3: back back in line. But you can't. You shouldn't be
Speaker 3: given that beast more money. DC doesn't need more of
Speaker 3: our hard earned money. And then we also need to
Speaker 3: be having the conversation about what Congress appropriates it's two
Speaker 3: sides of the same coin, Brian, equally important. But we
Speaker 3: shouldn't we shouldn't let the desire to get the deficit
Speaker 3: down keep us from allowing folks to retain more their
Speaker 3: hard earned money by simply keeping the Trump tax cuts permanent.
Speaker 1: Right, And if they actually you know, if the tax
Speaker 1: cuts went up and that actually really effectively brought more
Speaker 1: money into government because the rates hire which we just
Speaker 1: talked about, that it doesn't, then they need to stop
Speaker 1: spending and cut back the percentage amount of money they
Speaker 1: spend so that we can start dealing with the deficit
Speaker 1: rather than keep continuing to fund all these programs, which
Speaker 1: is what happens every time. You know, it's the only
Speaker 1: thing they tinker with is our tax rates, but they
Speaker 1: never tinker with their spending. Do you have any hope
Speaker 1: that this reconciliation bill can actually get through?
Speaker 2: Donovan?
Speaker 3: I think it has to get through or Republicans are
Speaker 3: going to lose control in Washington, the Democrats will be
Speaker 3: back in power. And I think we're in a way,
Speaker 3: you know, not only that, right, it's not only just
Speaker 3: about the political dynamics in Washington, but it's the future
Speaker 3: of our country. The reconciliation package is about retaining the
Speaker 3: tax cuts, it's about undoing the disastrous Green Energy New
Speaker 3: Deal policies of the Biden Harris administration. Uh. And it's
Speaker 3: about getting this country funding border security for for our
Speaker 3: border patrol agents so we can have a secure country.
Speaker 3: It's it's it's a lot more than just a reconciliation package.
Speaker 1: This is what.
Speaker 3: Folks campaigned on and made promises about to earn votes
Speaker 3: back in November. They need to get this done. And
Speaker 3: if we don't get it done sometime by the summer,
Speaker 3: it's going to be real hard to see it happen
Speaker 3: this Congress.
Speaker 1: That is a frightening prospect. Well, the timing couldn't be better.
Speaker 1: With with revelations coming from the Department of Governmental Efficiency
Speaker 1: about you know, ten million dollars for voluntary circumcisions and Mozambique.
Speaker 1: You know, you get enough stories like that circulating and
Speaker 1: they actually get traction on the internet and people start
Speaker 1: paying attention like wait a second, I'm working for what
Speaker 1: and demand it. Well, they take less money out of
Speaker 1: our pockets, so these programs necessarily have to go away,
Speaker 1: which shouldn't have been funded in the first place. Now
Speaker 1: You've got a big event coming up February twenty six,
Speaker 1: next Thursday, at the farm. I understand you're buying dinner.
Speaker 3: Well, Americans for Prosperities buying dinner. I'll be there enjoying
Speaker 3: dinner with folks and talking about this topic, talking about
Speaker 3: tax cuts and jobs.
Speaker 1: I really excited to.
Speaker 3: Be there with the folks, George Brenneman and the Restore
Speaker 3: Liberty crew talking about that. And I hear it's a
Speaker 3: good crowd. You've you've been a speaker there. Do they
Speaker 3: get a good turnout?
Speaker 1: I haven't been over to the farm on the West
Speaker 1: Side for one of these events, so no, it's I'm
Speaker 1: about forty five minutes away where I live relative to
Speaker 1: the farm, and because I get up at two thirty
Speaker 1: in the morning, it really presents a challenge for me
Speaker 1: to actually speak at events like this, so I won't
Speaker 1: be able to be there. The door do open at
Speaker 1: five point thirty, and of course the food is from
Speaker 1: the farm. That's the West Side legend, Donovan. Everybody knows
Speaker 1: about the farm and the meeting begins at seven pm,
Speaker 1: but they're going to be doing a live recording of
Speaker 1: the podcast during the dinner, so you'll be able to
Speaker 1: enjoy that and then talk about this with Americans for
Speaker 1: Prosperity again, picking up the tab for your wonderful meal.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you doing that, Donovan, And I'm sure you get
Speaker 1: a lot of people showing up for it, and they'll
Speaker 1: get to learn something, and then you'll have a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of citizen activists who can start pressuring their elected
Speaker 1: officials to get the job done.
Speaker 3: That's the idea. We'll get them, We'll get a fire up,
Speaker 3: we'll connect them with equipment, with the facts and information,
Speaker 3: and then we're going to have some called action to
Speaker 3: get people doing making that push right there, and then
Speaker 3: that evening wonderful.
