Speaker 1: Doge digging out there doing ahow of a job sh
Speaker 1: I can't often for the latest.
Speaker 2: I call it the Force of super Geniuses. Fifty five
Speaker 2: KRZ The Talk Station.
Speaker 1: Eight oh five at fifty five KRC, the Talk Station,
Speaker 1: A very happy Wednesday to you up to see it
Speaker 1: listener Lunch today Mark's first Breweries Blue Pash location on
Speaker 1: East Kemper. Welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show.
Speaker 1: Representing Ohio's second District, Congressman Dave Taylor.
Speaker 2: Dave good heavy back on the program.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Brian, thank you very much for having me.
Speaker 1: And you were there, weren't you? I was, indeed, indeed,
Speaker 1: I just I obviously want to hear anything you want
Speaker 1: to say about that. But former innercent Township trust Trusty
Speaker 1: Drew Peppis called in this morning and he just just
Speaker 1: could not believe and I understand. Apparently the Democrats got
Speaker 1: a memo saying, do not stand for literally anything Donald
Speaker 1: Trump says or does, period, end of story. We don't
Speaker 1: know what they were threatened with, but clearly the message
Speaker 1: got out. They couldn't even stand up for the thirteen
Speaker 1: year old brain cancer survivor DJ Daniel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would take a very serious threat to keep
Speaker 3: everybody from standing up for that, and I can only
Speaker 3: assume that's the case. I never known mister Pappus to
Speaker 3: be wrong about anything, after all. But DJ Daniel wasn't
Speaker 3: the highlight of my night, not just the part where
Speaker 3: he was made our newest secret Service agent. But when
Speaker 3: I was walking out going to meet my wife that
Speaker 3: head home, I bumped into him in the hallway and
Speaker 3: he was staying there. So I went over to congratulate him,
Speaker 3: and he said, I'm going to give you a hug.
Speaker 2: Oh man, you are.
Speaker 3: Thank you young man. He was. He was quite a
Speaker 3: young guy.
Speaker 1: That's like an allergy inducing moment there, I imagine, Dave.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know that's what happened.
Speaker 1: Experience does. But shameless that the Democrats couldn't even stand
Speaker 1: for a cancer survivor and just an honoree like that.
Speaker 1: But whatever I thought Trump did, and I didn't watch
Speaker 1: it live, I acknowledge because I got a bed early
Speaker 1: because they get up at two thirty to the morning show.
Speaker 1: But I read every single word in the transcript, and
Speaker 1: he did a phenomenal job outlining the accomplishments. It took
Speaker 1: him a record setting length to do it. The guy
Speaker 1: just got sworn in like five minutes ago, and it
Speaker 1: took him at plus an hour to get through all
Speaker 1: the accomplishments and what he wants Congress to get accomplished
Speaker 1: as well. It really is amazing, isn't it.
Speaker 3: It is. I didn't realize how long the speech was
Speaker 3: until afterwards, because it didn't seem long. It was such
Speaker 3: a great speech when we were enjoying it, and as
Speaker 3: you say, it's always nice to hear all the things
Speaker 3: that are being done and moving us in the right direction.
Speaker 3: And it's a long list, and it's just going to
Speaker 3: get longer, and it made for a very enjoyable.
Speaker 1: Night well, particularly when I have fully appreciate the work
Speaker 1: that Doge is doing the Apartment of Government Efficiency. And
Speaker 1: although they're for whatever reason they think Elon Musk is
Speaker 1: a Nazi or something, because he's ferreting out all this fraud,
Speaker 1: waste and abuse. The highlight for me was that section.
Speaker 1: Then the Democrats sitting on their hands as they were
Speaker 1: and screaming madly throughout the week's last several weeks about
Speaker 1: the cuts. These are absolutely indefensible expenditures of money. How
Speaker 1: can anyone in a country that's broke. If we were
Speaker 1: sitting on a pile of cash and had all kinds
Speaker 1: of money to throw around, maybe you could try justifying
Speaker 1: circumcisions in Mozambique or whatever. But in the final analysis,
Speaker 1: we are broke, and none of these programs sound legitimate
Speaker 1: at all. And more fundamentally, that money isn't followed, and
Speaker 1: nobody's doing an accounting on how it was spent or
Speaker 1: even if they accomplished the goals that they purport to serve.
Speaker 3: That last point you made, Brian is the thing that's
Speaker 3: on my mind the most when he's reading the laundry
Speaker 3: list of the trocities that the doses discovered. There's silly sounding,
Speaker 3: and they are silly and sometimes worse than silly. But
Speaker 3: are those dollars really ever leaving the United States or
Speaker 3: are they being funneled into regime change operations under US
Speaker 3: eight or all the other in nefarious things been up
Speaker 3: to here in abroad? These you know, the studies they
Speaker 3: do on transgender rodents or whatever. Yeah, other country. Let's
Speaker 3: see the studies. If that money has been spent, Let's
Speaker 3: see the results of the studies, so we can at
Speaker 3: least know that it wasn't used for that terrible idea.
Speaker 2: Well, you know it.
Speaker 1: It sounds like a simple proposition, But you'd have to
Speaker 1: grow the number of government employees tremendously, filled them with
Speaker 1: accountants in order to track all this money. It's just
Speaker 1: an illustration of how bloated and insane the expenditures flown
Speaker 1: out of Washington, DC are so much so And I'll
Speaker 1: have a stab at the military budget. We can't even
Speaker 1: audit our own military budget of eight hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: billion dollars.
Speaker 3: Right, and they failed what eight in a row? And yeah,
Speaker 3: and when they interviewed the lady about it, says, that's
Speaker 3: not an indication that there's fraud, waste or abuse. How
Speaker 3: in the world is not not obviously evidence of fraud,
Speaker 3: waste and abuse when you can't account for the money
Speaker 3: you were sent to spend on defending our nation.
Speaker 1: Yes, I also got a kick in seeing a fraud,
Speaker 1: waste and abuse. The numbers of folks in this country
Speaker 1: apparently who are over than one hundred and twenty years old,
Speaker 1: or one hundred and fifty or one case, three hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty years old. That's an open account. Now, I'm
Speaker 1: not suggesting in every single one of those circumstances, checks
Speaker 1: are still going to some presumably dead person, but that
Speaker 1: is a vehicle for fraud. If someone illegally in our
Speaker 1: country without a work permit wants to work, they can
Speaker 1: grab one of those active social Security numbers and assert
Speaker 1: it as their.
Speaker 3: Own, exactly. And you know, they found cases where they're
Speaker 3: the same social Security numbers being used for the thousands
Speaker 3: of different accounts. They were the benefits going a bunch
Speaker 3: of different directions. But I was glad to hear that
Speaker 3: there's a two hundred and forty nine year old, so
Speaker 3: they can they're two hundred and fiftieth birthday will coincide
Speaker 3: with our nation's two hundred and fiftieth. I know feltrations
Speaker 3: next fourth of July.
Speaker 1: I know Congress and Dave Taylor, Donald Trump did illustrate
Speaker 1: and highlight a number of things that Congress is going
Speaker 1: to have to do that are outside of the controls
Speaker 1: of executives already. And you know, no one wants an
Speaker 1: imperial president, but Congress must act. He talked about cutting taxes,
Speaker 1: making them permanent, among other things. Is that is any
Speaker 1: of the thing or are any of the things that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump suggested he wants Congress to Act on and
Speaker 1: do are they going to be accomplished or we're going
Speaker 1: to end up in one of these oh not in
Speaker 1: my district kind of arguments that we quite often get
Speaker 1: from some Republicans out there.
Speaker 3: I believe so, Brian. We're working very hard on that.
Speaker 3: You know, the Tax Cuts and Job Act, which which
Speaker 3: the media and Democrats say it's only benefits billionaires, benefits
Speaker 3: every single tax paying household the United States.
Speaker 2: It's complete.
Speaker 3: It's absolutely vital that we get that extended, if not
Speaker 3: made permanent, this go around. But yeah, we're going to
Speaker 3: get to a lot of those things accomplished. Nobody ever
Speaker 3: gets everything they want in politics. But I think we're
Speaker 3: going to really move the ball forward in this round
Speaker 3: of reconciliation. We'll have another crack at it in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty six. It's going to be a transformative couple of years.
Speaker 3: And I just want to assure you that the uh,
Speaker 3: the political will is there on our side, and you know,
Speaker 3: we understand that there. So everybody knows somebody who's employed
Speaker 3: by the federal government, and nobody really wants anybody to
Speaker 3: lose their job, but we don't want you know, people's
Speaker 3: tax dollars going to support an unnecessary job either. So
Speaker 3: that's that's that's a reality that's gonna have to be addressed.
Speaker 1: And the other thing that he obviously burst the bubble
Speaker 1: of those who were ginty with happiness that that meeting
Speaker 1: imploded with Vladimir Zelensky. But uh, I guess vlad came
Speaker 1: back around, didn't he.
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's funny how how money changes his mind so
Speaker 3: quickly he went over to immediately ran over to Europe
Speaker 3: to beg for money. He didn't get nearly what he needed.
Speaker 3: And uh then President Trump rightly said, you know, we're
Speaker 3: not selling you any more weapons provong, you know, prolong
Speaker 3: this bloody war that that's going nowhere. No one even
Speaker 3: really understands what winning it means. It changes his mind
Speaker 3: pretty quickly. Hopefully we actually moved towards East, which everybody wants.
Speaker 3: I think everybody wants that. I know, you know, it
Speaker 3: sort of benefits the other side of the aisle that
Speaker 3: when when the if the war is not ended quickly,
Speaker 3: when President Trump made it a priority, tended quickly, so
Speaker 3: they may want to interfere. And there's some certainly some
Speaker 3: indications that that has been happening. But I think every
Speaker 3: normal thinking person in the country and the world will
Speaker 3: like say that war.
Speaker 2: End without question.
Speaker 1: And if the he does sign the minerals deal, that
Speaker 1: would create an American lasting presence there. American business would
Speaker 1: be established there to extract the minerals, which I suppose,
Speaker 1: as we do in other areas of the world where
Speaker 1: we have American interests, that would provide at least some
Speaker 1: sort of argument whether it's legitimate or not. I'm not
Speaker 1: a warhawk, and I don't like the fact that we
Speaker 1: always act as the world's police officer, as evidence by
Speaker 1: this particular conflict. But if we have an American presence there,
Speaker 1: then that does justify defending the American interests on some
Speaker 1: life level, does it not?
Speaker 3: It absolutely doesn't. You know that those rare minerals are
Speaker 3: so important to so many of the things we were
Speaker 3: moving into and technology now, it would be not just
Speaker 3: an American interest, but a vital one that we would
Speaker 3: take very seriously. I mean that, as you said, is
Speaker 3: in and of itself a security guarantee.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I love that.
Speaker 1: After highlighting the fact that he ended a lot of
Speaker 1: these green projects, would seem to be a tremendous waste
Speaker 1: of the taxpayer dollar. I think it's it's rather interesting,
Speaker 1: ironic perhaps that Europe spent more money buying Russian oil
Speaker 1: than gas, and they've spent on defending Ukraine so far,
Speaker 1: and Ukraine's in their backyard, not ours, right right.
Speaker 3: That that that's you know, when you get to the
Speaker 3: bottom of it, it's it's usually the case that that
Speaker 3: money is the reason this war continues. It's become profitable
Speaker 3: for Iran, for Russia, and you know, half of our
Speaker 3: three hundred billion that's gone over there's un accounted for
Speaker 3: to a country that the only thing you heard about
Speaker 3: in the media before this war started about Ukraine was
Speaker 3: the most corrupt country in the world, and now the
Speaker 3: money's missing and erect and surprise. So yeah, it's it
Speaker 3: usually comes down to money and Europe's the relationship with
Speaker 3: Russia in this situation, and then they're purported undying support
Speaker 3: for Ukraine doesn't make a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: Well it doesn't.
Speaker 1: And using Russian gas and oil while not extracting their
Speaker 1: own in the European Union flies in the face of
Speaker 1: all of their green arguments. I mean, if you're still
Speaker 1: using petroleum products as we traditionally call them, then how
Speaker 1: can you get to net carbon zero, which they seem
Speaker 1: to be chasing their tail over. It just doesn't make
Speaker 1: a witsworth of sense, right.
Speaker 3: And President Trump in his first term warned Germany and
Speaker 3: other European nations that they'd regret, you know, buying their
Speaker 3: or depending on Russia for their energy, and you know
Speaker 3: they laughed. And now here we are, Yes, we are.
Speaker 1: Any other observations you want to mention, Congressman Taylor.
Speaker 3: You know it was it was a great night. It was,
Speaker 3: like you said, an absolute laundry list of of of highlights.
Speaker 3: And there's something you mentioned earlier, President Trump's requests for
Speaker 3: Congress and that he wants to see us do more
Speaker 3: of our job. And I do too, and we've been
Speaker 3: doing that. Our our goal and my goal in my office,
Speaker 3: and lots of my colleagues on the Republican side have
Speaker 3: been actively trying to codify President Trump's executive orders into
Speaker 3: law because I mean, frankly, that's the way it ought
Speaker 3: to be done. I'm not a fan of executive orders.
Speaker 3: I think, as we've talked about before, supposed to be
Speaker 3: governed by legislation. And we're only trying to make a
Speaker 3: point of doing that because Obviously, the things he's doing
Speaker 3: need to be done. They're they're great, they're going to
Speaker 3: move us forward, but we need to make them the
Speaker 3: law so they don't get flipped over. Uh. In the hopeful,
Speaker 3: hopefully unlikely event that I see another Democrat president in
Speaker 3: my lifetime.
Speaker 1: Well, given the Democrats' strategy right now is just say
Speaker 1: absolutely no to literally everything Donald Trump does, regardless of
Speaker 1: how good it is for our country, I'm not quite
Speaker 1: sure what they're going to run on. With the notable
Speaker 1: exception of inflation, and I thought Donald Trump may have
Speaker 1: stepped in it when before the election he said he
Speaker 1: was going to stop inflation on day one. That's not
Speaker 1: a thing that one single man can accomplish on his own,
Speaker 1: and with all the pressures and all the factors and
Speaker 1: things that influence inflation, it's going to be a tough
Speaker 1: road to hoe. And again, going back to Trump's executive orders,
Speaker 1: the tariffs are going to cause things to go up
Speaker 1: in price. I think any economists will acknowledge that.
Speaker 3: I think that there's something he acknowledged too. There could
Speaker 3: be a little time of adjustment, but the tariffs are
Speaker 3: going to help with one thing that I think is
Speaker 3: vitally important, if not a lot of other things. I'm
Speaker 3: not an economist, but I'm learning. I think we all
Speaker 3: realize that we've let too much of our vital supply
Speaker 3: chain move off shore, and the tariff will help us
Speaker 3: on shore those things. We need the American steel production
Speaker 3: to increase. We need agricultural products here, believe it or not.
Speaker 3: Over the last two years, we're uh a net importer
Speaker 3: of agricultural UH brought agricultural goods, which is just shocking. Yes, unleashed,
Speaker 3: unleashing the energy sector, getting our pharmaceuticals back, and we're
Speaker 3: depending on China for a lot of these things. But
Speaker 3: depending on them for pharmaceuticals is just crazy. You know,
Speaker 3: computer chips, which obviously the President announced two days ago
Speaker 3: and then spoke about last night that the big the
Speaker 3: Taiwan chip making investment that's come in our way. So
Speaker 3: it will help a lot with that. And I believe
Speaker 3: the economy is going to really thrive under President truff
Speaker 3: I obviously is I think most people do. And we'll
Speaker 3: be making more money, and under the tax cuts and
Speaker 3: Job Act when extended, we'll be keeping more of it. UH.
Speaker 3: So that's going to help the economy in general, but
Speaker 3: hopefully that the teriff aren't necessary forever, because really, all
Speaker 3: all it takes to to remove the tariffs, which are reciprocal,
Speaker 3: is for the our trading partners to remove their TIFFs.
Speaker 3: Canada has been leveling these extremely high teriffs on us
Speaker 3: for a long time, and we really didn't say a
Speaker 3: thing about it, and then eventually we politely said, hey,
Speaker 3: could you you mind stopping these people from across on
Speaker 3: your border into our country and bringing this deadly drug
Speaker 3: that's killing our people. And they couldn't be bothered. So
Speaker 3: some things have to be done until they start acting
Speaker 3: like the friend that they have always been again, and
Speaker 3: that's what President Trump's trying to do, I.
Speaker 2: Believe, yep. And it's already starting to bear fruit.
Speaker 1: You mentioned the investments one point seven trillion over the
Speaker 1: past several weeks. You did have some crackdowns by the
Speaker 1: Mexican government sending truth to the southern border. They did
Speaker 1: extra dight twenty five or six of the worst cartel
Speaker 1: folks for prosecution here, and of course Canada is taking
Speaker 1: similar actions on their border, so maybe it'll work. Congressman
Speaker 1: Dave Taylor, second District of High it's been a pleasure
Speaker 1: talking with you this morning. Keep up the good work
Speaker 1: and I look forward to having back on the show
Speaker 1: real soon.
Speaker 3: Brian. I appreciated it, and talk to you sooner and
Speaker 3: have a great day.
Speaker 1: You do the same, sir A twenty fify five K
Speaker 1: see talk station. Now, how many realtors do you know
Speaker 1: they're going to guarantee the sale of your home?
Speaker 2: Well, I know one.
Speaker 1: It's the best real estate agent and team of agents around,
Speaker 1: Peter Shabriz, the shad Bee Group of Keller Williams Seven Hills,
Speaker 1: the only folks I would ever consider hiring as a
Speaker 1: buyer or seller's agent. But in so far as getting
Speaker 1: your home sold, they guarantee that once you sit down
Speaker 1: with them at the outset, you agree on a price
Speaker 1: and a timeline, and if they don't sell your home
Speaker 1: within that timeline and by that price, Peter will buy it.
Speaker 1: So you know it's you know, the day it's going
Speaker 1: to be over and done with, and I'm sure they
Speaker 1: will sell it. They're wonderful of getting the house is
Speaker 1: sold for top dollar, but you know, you know you
Speaker 1: have a guarantee, and that's one of the I don't
Speaker 1: know any of the real estate agent team that's doing
Speaker 1: this and just one of the many programs offered by
Speaker 1: the Shabri Group of Kellerwilliams seven Hills that nobody else
Speaker 1: is doing. Several ways to reach them. You can remember
Speaker 1: the website. It's seven zero eight three thousand dot com.
Speaker 1: You can call them up at five one three seven
Speaker 1: zero eight three thousand. If you can't remember anything like that,
Speaker 1: just remember how to spell Chabri c H A, b
Speaker 1: R I S. Type in Chabri Group in your search engine.
Speaker 2: There you have it. Chabrie Group, Keller Williams seven Hills.
