Speaker 1: When you turn on your work computer, turn us off
Speaker 1: love listening all day fifty five KRC to work with
Speaker 1: the Tay stories while.
Speaker 2: Do you work?
Speaker 1: Hey AATO five Right now at fifty five dr SE
Speaker 1: Detalk Station Abbay Friday, bottom of the hour, we get
Speaker 1: to hear from my heart mety aviation expert Jay Ralf
Speaker 1: in the meantime, Welcome back to the fifty five KRC
Speaker 1: Morning Show. Probably representing the second District Congressman David Taylor,
Speaker 1: It's great to have you on the program. Congressman, welcome back.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Brian, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: It's too bad we don't have anything to talk about.
Speaker 2: What will we do?
Speaker 1: This is a question of where we start. Well, let
Speaker 1: us first first observe it, isn't it interesting? With no
Speaker 1: change in legislation, With no new bills or laws enacted,
Speaker 1: the border went from wide open with approximately ten to
Speaker 1: twenty million people flowing in over four years under the
Speaker 1: Biden administration, to magically shut down practically completely. I saw
Speaker 1: an article this morning apparently there were no illegal entries
Speaker 1: into the country at our southern border in the last month,
Speaker 1: which sounds remarkable, But all it took was a change
Speaker 1: of administration and change of policies with no action from Congress.
Speaker 1: But we're left with the aftermath, and of course that
Speaker 1: leads us to the protest going on in LA and elsewhere.
Speaker 1: ICE is just doing its job, right, Congressman, It's a
Speaker 1: federal law. They're merely there to enforce the federal law.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I don't think anybody thought that this problem wud
Speaker 2: be easy to solve. This intentionally created problem by the
Speaker 2: last administration would be easy to solve. And then when
Speaker 2: you add in the Democratic officials in Los Angeles and
Speaker 2: California at large working against it, it creates a terrible situation.
Speaker 2: They should be cooperating and helping our federal agents. Instead
Speaker 2: they're doing everything they can to exacerbate the problem. You know,
Speaker 2: it's happened. You know, it's been going on since I
Speaker 2: got sworn into office. That Democrats have said they're going
Speaker 2: to resist, and they're going to resist in the streets,
Speaker 2: and and that's exactly what we're seeing now and in
Speaker 2: a lot of places, not just La Seattle, New York,
Speaker 2: lots of places in Chicago as well.
Speaker 1: And you know, the the the interesting thing is is
Speaker 1: the the the the the left politicians Gavin newsom or
Speaker 1: Maribas or uh you know up in in Chicago. Flip
Speaker 1: the narrative on its head. ICE is allowed to enter
Speaker 1: your neighborhood. They are there to round up and right
Speaker 1: now the mostly criminal elements in the among the illegal community.
Speaker 1: So they're allowed to do that. And when you stand
Speaker 1: in the way of them execusing their lawful function and
Speaker 1: entering places where these folks can be found and are
Speaker 1: found and throw rocks at them and and assault them,
Speaker 1: that's when the National Guard gets called up. It isn't
Speaker 1: the National Guard showing up first, followed by a team
Speaker 1: of ICE agents. You and you invite the National Guard
Speaker 1: because of your your anti ICE enforcement behavior. But then
Speaker 1: they try to say, oh my god, you know the
Speaker 1: Marines have shown up, maybe because Donald Trump, evil man
Speaker 1: or whatever. End of democracy. I mean, they throw these
Speaker 1: these terms and connections together, but they don't follow the
Speaker 1: order of reality. If you don't resist, they don't show up.
Speaker 2: Right. Well, you saw Aaron Bath prevents the Los Angeles
Speaker 2: Police Department from from doing their job. When even when
Speaker 2: ICE agents were being assaulted and needed help or pinned
Speaker 2: down in a building, uh, they she had the LA
Speaker 2: police standing down. And then when President Trump sends in
Speaker 2: the National Guard to assist UH. Governor Newsom goes to
Speaker 2: the courts to try to rest control of the National
Speaker 2: Guard back from the form the president, so they can't
Speaker 2: help either. So it's very clear that the problem that
Speaker 2: was created in the last administration was very intentional. They
Speaker 2: worked very hard to spend a lot of political out
Speaker 2: to give you all of these illegals here, and they're
Speaker 2: going to they're proven, they'll go to the mat to
Speaker 2: keep them here. So that's what that's what we're our
Speaker 2: ice officials and border patrol officials are now dealing with. Well.
Speaker 1: I mean, given that Obama deported a whole ton of
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants, I think this is illustrative of the house
Speaker 1: of cards that California is. They've lost a lot of
Speaker 1: their population, many of the wealthiest of them, because of
Speaker 1: how poorly run the state is UH and the failure
Speaker 1: of the priorities of the California government writ large. They
Speaker 1: need to replace the population with somebody, and this was
Speaker 1: a convenient way of doing it, and that's why I
Speaker 1: think they're fighting so hard to keep the illegal population
Speaker 1: from being deported.
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. They're slated blue seats in the next census.
Speaker 2: They know that along with the Illinois and New York
Speaker 2: And now now you see where they're fighting to keep
Speaker 2: the illegal aliens, you know, on the rolls there where
Speaker 2: they could be counted even though they're not citizens. They'll
Speaker 2: be counted in the and they'll get representation. Like as
Speaker 2: it's happening now, are many of the state seats in
Speaker 2: Congress are actually representing non.
Speaker 1: Citizens well, and as cash Battel revealed, apparently many of
Speaker 1: them may very well be voting with fake IDs created
Speaker 1: by the Chinese Communist Party. I'm not sure if you're
Speaker 1: aware of that development of the recent revelations from cash
Speaker 1: Bettel about what happened back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did see that. And you know, they've been
Speaker 2: giving illegal aliens driver's licenses in these states for a
Speaker 2: long time too, and with your driver's license they auto
Speaker 2: register you to vote in many places. So I'm sure
Speaker 2: quite a few of them have been voting in those states.
Speaker 1: Most notably with mail in ballots. Amazing how when you
Speaker 1: talk about this is how this all sort of lines up.
Speaker 1: Some people are suggesting it's a conspiracy theory about the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty election being stolen. I don't know. I've never
Speaker 1: been on board with that. But the more and more
Speaker 1: of this information comes out, the more I'm I'm lining
Speaker 1: up with the folks who think that the election was
Speaker 1: stolen in favor of Joe Biden. Anyway, So moving on
Speaker 1: to the the the the violence inherent in the system. Again,
Speaker 1: this is something the left rallies against and claims are
Speaker 1: not responsible for. I don't see a whole lot of conservative,
Speaker 1: right leaning individuals committing acts of violence against anybody. This
Speaker 1: is this this genda message that came during the Biden administration,
Speaker 1: and somehow the entire world was filled with a bunch
Speaker 1: of right wing nazi activists. When every act of violence
Speaker 1: is committed by the likes of Antifi, the Black Lives Member,
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter, Marxists, UH and so forth, the people
Speaker 1: who try to assassinate Donald Trump. There seems to be
Speaker 1: a pattern here, and it's not what the left wants
Speaker 1: us to believe.
Speaker 2: No, you're right, Brian, And there's a lot of frustration,
Speaker 2: I'm sure on the on the on the left with
Speaker 2: having lost the House and or not get gotten the House,
Speaker 2: lost the White House and not having the Senate, and
Speaker 2: we've seen it from every one of the what passes
Speaker 2: for Democrat leadership and their calls for action with fighting
Speaker 2: in the streets here, from Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer to
Speaker 2: the King, Jeffries, the mayor of Chicago, you name it,
Speaker 2: they all called for action in the streets. And for
Speaker 2: all the rhetoric at def that Democrats are currently ineffectual,
Speaker 2: apparently that call is being heard.
Speaker 1: Well, it seems to be for lack of messaging. They
Speaker 1: would have to call for action in the streets if
Speaker 1: they had a message that they projected that people would embrace, like, Oh,
Speaker 1: that's a great policy. I would like to vote for
Speaker 1: you because you've offered some solutions to some of the problems.
Speaker 1: They've gone so far to the farthest left of the
Speaker 1: of the party, the elean Omar and AOC wing of
Speaker 1: the party that none of the more sensible Democrats. I mean,
Speaker 1: isn't it an odd situation, Congressman, when Letterman turns out
Speaker 1: to be one of the more reasonable people in the
Speaker 1: Democrat Party.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you know, like just like you said, there there's
Speaker 2: no eighty twenty issue. They don't want to jump on
Speaker 2: the twenty percent uh side of And I think there
Speaker 2: when you when you chase the friend, you're you're going
Speaker 2: to disaffect the more moderate Democrats. And I've said that
Speaker 2: several places. This is a this is a prime time
Speaker 2: to to with, you know, with with open arms talk
Speaker 2: to some of these these the Democrat voters that I mean,
Speaker 2: I have friends and relatives who are Democrat voters. And
Speaker 2: now at the time they say, look, these people are
Speaker 2: not representing your views. Maybe you should consider your your
Speaker 2: your continuing support of them, if that's if they're going
Speaker 2: to continue to chase the very edge of the left.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what I have to observe, and
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily need to be put in the spot
Speaker 1: of having a comp comment on this. I think the
Speaker 1: Republican Party ultimately benefited from the Supreme Court decision saying
Speaker 1: abortion is a state issue, a decision that I agree with.
Speaker 1: I mean, the abortion is not mentioned in the in
Speaker 1: the United States Constitution. It seems to me something covered
Speaker 1: by the Tenth Amendment and always should have been.
Speaker 2: But we had Roe v.
Speaker 1: Wade, and it started this political you know, for for decades,
Speaker 1: this division among federal politicians. Now that that is no
Speaker 1: longer the subject matter of Congress or the Senate, the
Speaker 1: House representats of the Senate. It's free the Republican Party
Speaker 1: on a federal level of having to to take sides
Speaker 1: on that very divisive issue. And whether you like it
Speaker 1: or not, a majority of people were in favor of
Speaker 1: women having a choice on it. So you're able to,
Speaker 1: i think, effectively siphon off a lot of people who
Speaker 1: would vote on that one issue over the Republican side,
Speaker 1: which is one of you know, greater freedoms and hopefully
Speaker 1: fiscal responsibility. Will see how the budget turns out, but
Speaker 1: you know, the more the great idea is that the
Speaker 1: Republican Party always had.
Speaker 2: So I agree, and I agree that the concept there's
Speaker 2: no basis for the federal government to be dealing with
Speaker 2: with abortion. There's no basis for it. And the tenth
Speaker 2: Amendment requires that if there's no basis in the Constitution
Speaker 2: for the station aimless. So that's rightly where it is.
Speaker 2: Let's pause.
Speaker 1: Let's pause. We'll bring Congressman David Taylor back. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about the current budget process and also some of the
Speaker 1: recent bills, like, for example, his Water Resources Technical Assistance
Speaker 1: Review Act. You're gonna have to explain that when we're
Speaker 1: listening on audience, Congressman Taylor, be right back after a
Speaker 1: quick word here for Gate of Heaven Cemetery. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: quiet contemplation and reflection. Gatehevan Cemetery is really beautiful. Uh.
Speaker 1: And you know it's with with the weather. It's a
Speaker 1: little human of course, but you know, just being a
Speaker 1: nice that the flowers and the landscaping and the beauty
Speaker 1: generally speaking of Gate of Heaven, it is a welcoming
Speaker 1: environment and a great place to remember your loved ones.
Speaker 1: You might want to consider your options there for the afterlife,
Speaker 1: and you might want to consider a place for prayer
Speaker 1: and reflection and maybe a little meditation. And you're in
Speaker 1: the best possible place, a Gate of Heaven. Gate of
Speaker 1: Heaven a sacred place for sacred people in honoring life
Speaker 1: in this gorgeous environment. To learn more, head on over
Speaker 1: to the website Gateofheaven dot org. That's gateof Heaven dot org.
Speaker 1: Fifty five krc A nineteen. If you have KRCD talk stay.
Speaker 1: Sharon bryn Thomas with representative of David Taylor. Congressman Taylor's
Speaker 1: here represent of the second District of Ohio, and we
Speaker 1: have this reconciliation process that's going on, and I'll be
Speaker 1: honest with you, sir, I don't think it cuts nearly
Speaker 1: enough out of spending to the extent that we are
Speaker 1: engaging in even greater spending, to me is a non starter.
Speaker 1: I know I'm alone in that, at least the Congressman
Speaker 1: Massey and I are alone in our corners with that philosophy.
Speaker 1: But it's over on the Senate side now, and they
Speaker 1: made some proposals, one of which was kicking that forty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars salt increase down to back to ten and
Speaker 1: leaving it where it is, which I embrace completely. Where
Speaker 1: are you in terms of what the Senate has done?
Speaker 1: And are you satisfied? And would you embrace what the
Speaker 1: Senates changed? Where are you in the process?
Speaker 2: Congressman Yeah, Bryan, By and large, I'm in agreement with
Speaker 2: what the Senate's doing. I agree that there's room for
Speaker 2: a lot more cuts. I do land on the on
Speaker 2: the side of thinking this is a good step forward.
Speaker 2: This won't be the last crack at reconciliation we get,
Speaker 2: and I think this one will in the end. Nomb
Speaker 2: says one point four trillion dollars will be produced from
Speaker 2: the depths that over ten years, which is you know,
Speaker 2: in star contrast to the CBO scoring. But we both
Speaker 2: know what the CBO scoring is usually looks like. But
Speaker 2: I'm fine with the salt cap being dropped from forty
Speaker 2: to ten. It's going to be a contentious issue in
Speaker 2: the House with we have the narrow majority, and we
Speaker 2: have represented us from California and New York, and there's
Speaker 2: places that are out and about that, but they've we
Speaker 2: hit Senator Marino and I had sponsored a bill about
Speaker 2: car interesting deductible on your income taxes, and that's part
Speaker 2: of the end up being part of the big beautiful bill. Now,
Speaker 2: one change that the Senate made there was to instead
Speaker 2: of making it applicable to all vehicles, is only applicable
Speaker 2: to new vehicles. I'd rather see that stay applicable to both.
Speaker 2: They increase the senior tax deduction. We were talking about
Speaker 2: no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax
Speaker 2: on social security. Although sound good, but because of the
Speaker 2: Bird rule, I don't think it could be possible to
Speaker 2: do no tax on social Security. But the House passed.
Speaker 2: The House version had a four thousand dollars credit for seniors.
Speaker 2: The Senate version looks like we've come back at around
Speaker 2: six thousand, which I'm fine, fine with. One thing that
Speaker 2: does bother me a little bit in the Senate side,
Speaker 2: on the wind and solar subsidies, they're supposed to end
Speaker 2: those Green New Deal subsidies for those two sort of,
Speaker 2: at least in my district, not very welcome forms of
Speaker 2: renewable energy. But right we had a sixty day enactment
Speaker 2: of that in the House version and the Senate of
Speaker 2: a two year phase out. I'll have a significant problem
Speaker 2: with that, but by and large I'm pleased with it.
Speaker 2: Or they drop the endowment attacks on these universities that
Speaker 2: have the multi billion dollar endownments from twenty one percent
Speaker 2: down to eight. I mean, obviously that remains to be negotiated,
Speaker 2: but by and large, I think they're a couple a
Speaker 2: little deeper in spots and they're loosing it up in
Speaker 2: other spots, and that's kind of what we expected. It's
Speaker 2: going to be a little give and take, fair enough.
Speaker 1: And Congress, I got to ask you because I am
Speaker 1: outright against the notion that any president, this one or
Speaker 1: any other president has the right to start declaring war
Speaker 1: on other countries absent and approval from the Congress, then
Speaker 1: if it is an authorization use of military force was
Speaker 1: the constitutional purist in me says, isn't a concept.
Speaker 2: But where are you?
Speaker 1: I mean, it looks like Donald Trump's getting ready to
Speaker 1: drop Chris Christy on that that that that facility over
Speaker 1: there in order to blow it up and stop the
Speaker 1: centrifuges from their work. Your position on where we are
Speaker 1: generally relative to the Israel Iranian conflict.
Speaker 2: Well, the first question. First, I agree with you that
Speaker 2: you know, we've we've wandered far afield from pauling the
Speaker 2: Constitution as having Congress approved UH any war activity now
Speaker 2: and we've got the other authorizations you've talked about in
Speaker 2: multiple areas. On the other hand, Israel's a tremendous ally.
Speaker 2: I ran as an enemy of basically everybody in that region.
Speaker 2: But I really am against, you know, putting our troops
Speaker 2: into that battle. We've Israel never asked us to do that.
Speaker 2: We've never done that for Israel. We exchange UH terry technology.
Speaker 2: You know, they were a vital piece of the development
Speaker 2: of the F thirty five, the Israelis were, so they're
Speaker 2: a vital ally. We have to support them. But I
Speaker 2: don't want our servicemen and women in harms way and Iran.
Speaker 2: That's not our conflict unless the Congress votes to say
Speaker 2: it is fair enough.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you and I see idiye on that one.
Speaker 1: Congressman Taylor, real pleasure having on the program as it
Speaker 1: always is. Or are you doing a great job for
Speaker 1: your constituents? And I'll look forward to having further conversations
Speaker 1: down the road with you, and you're always welcome here
Speaker 1: on the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Thank you, Brian,
Speaker 1: have a great day. Thanks brother, you do as well.
Speaker 1: A twenty five right now coming up. I heard me
Speaker 1: the aviation expert Jay Rat. I've got some great topics
Speaker 1: talk about with Jay. I sure hope you can stick
Speaker 1: around fifty five KRC
