Speaker 1 (00:00):
Columbus gas prices. This is something because I was on
the WSY six siting. As a matter of fact, Columbus
gas prices rise nearly ten cents in a week, reaching
three zero three a gallon. That's the headline on this story. Now,
have you ever noticed that, as soon as a story
comes out about gas prices, whatever the story is, the
(00:22):
opposite is actually happening. Yeah, because it fluctuates quickly quickly.
Now I noticed today on my beloved West Side that
was eighty nine, which is still too much, but still
it's better than what it was just a few days ago.
(00:43):
As soon as somebody puts a story out there that
says Columbus gas prices are down twenty cents a gallon,
you'll go to the pump and it'll be forty cents
a gallon higher. That's just the way this beast works now. Fortunately,
well not so fortunately, because you have to spend a
lot in order to get the points off. But I
had the the what do you call it, the boost
(01:03):
car the crower. Yeah, and so I filled the family
van yesterday for buck thirteen.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Nice I had ninety cents off.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
It was I was like, yeah, yeah, which was that
was that was nice and it felt so normal, right
to fill up at that or no, it's two thirteen.
I'm sorry because the pump price was three thirteen, so
I got two thirteen, but it just you know, it
was still I think thirty six thirty seven dollars to
(01:32):
fill the tank. That's a wonderful thing. I think more
that's coming, I really do. Because I mentioned was it
Thursday when I came in here all enthusiastic or Friday
about all the traffic and all the people out, and yeah, Friday, okay,
(01:53):
so all those people are out stimulating the academy, buying stuff,
dining out. I mean the traffic was heavy in the
middle of the day at like eleven am noon stimulate.
It was great to see that. Combine that with you
know today people fretting about oh no, a fifty year
or mortgage. That's crazy. It's no crazier than renting a
(02:17):
luxury vehicle or leasing a luxury vehicle. You can't afford
to buy it, so you get the lease payment because
that's more affordable to you. You're never going to pay
off that car. It's a ninety thousand dollars car. You
want to drive it, you can't afford the payment to
buy it, but you're okay, make it the payment to
lease it. So you lease it, and after that's done,
you'll lease something else because you've been driving that for
(02:40):
three years and you love that luxury, so you'll lease
something else luxury. You're always going to have that payment.
Same thing with the house, except the car is not
going to, you know, jump in value. The market value
of that car is not going to jump some you know,
Honda's out there hold value pretty well well, but they
(03:01):
don't appreciate in value your home. Your land most likely will,
especially in the long term. So having you know, a
long term mortgage that lowers the payment nothing to fret about.
If that's the decision you want to make to buy
more house for a smaller payment, you know, God blessed,
move on. I hope to hear from you. Oh but
(03:24):
that and the builder that I was talking about doing
the first year at just below one percent to get
people into their new build homes. I'm telling you this
is how it works. It's not about the government doing it.
It's about the government getting out of the way and
allowing us to do it. And if honestly, it kind
(03:48):
of does bug me. You wanted to people. Oh, you
just loved Trump, that's all it is. No, it's not
a matter of love. It's a matter of respecting the
opinion and the jobs that I see getting done. One
of the things he's not doing, and it does bother me.
You know what it is, Zach. You know what I'm
gonna say. What campaign promise here that hasn't been kept yet? Drill, baby, drill,
(04:09):
Let's get back to producing in this country again. If
that happens, all of the affiliated businesses will go through
the roof. Not just the oil company, not just the
natural gas companies. But you know what, every little town,
(04:32):
a pipeline goes through, where the diners pop up, and
the grocery stores pop up, and the housing developments pop up.
All those construction workers, all those people that lay the
lines for the new utilities, all the property taxes to
get paid. This is how you do it. It's not
about one thing. Our economy is a circle. It's a
(04:56):
big circle. Everything is connected. It works positively, it works negatively.
This is why I have continued to bang the anti
minimum wage drum, because the circle the circle, and if
it gets high on one side, it's got to get
(05:17):
high on the other side to balance out. And if
it gets high on those two sides, then the top
and the bottom have to get higher to balance out.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
What do you think this is just quite like places
like Norway or Finland they don't have a minimum wage.
They have extremely strong unions, yes, but they have no
minimum wage.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
And what do they have as far as a tax
burden goes.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I don't it's I mean it's much higher because they
have different things to deal with, like their healthcare systems different.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
The more you make, the more they'll take sure. Yeah, yeah,
I was just curious. And the unions and the unions
are part of that. The unions. Of course, the unions
are going to want you to make more money because
the more you make, the more they take sure. When
we hear the especially unions come out in favor of
a higher minimum wage for non union employees. There are
union contracts that are based on the minimum wage. So
(06:07):
if the minimum wage in the state of Ohio is
fifteen dollars an hour, the contract for the union worker
says they've got to make minimum wage plus seventy percent
or something like that. So of course it benefits them
that you're making minimum wage at you're a McDonald's job
when you're sixteen years old, because it raises what the
people who are covered by that contract made. It's the circle.
(06:30):
It's all connected. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, I'm just curious, that's all.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I just I get frustrated that I guess people don't
see it. There's no way, there's no such thing as
a corporate tax. Understand that when all these people like
Mandanie talk about we're going to raise the corporate tax
in New York City from seven point five to eleven
point five percent, this is how he's going to pay
(06:56):
for stuff. Kathy Hochol has already said she's not backing
on the plan to make free buses in New York City.
That was a big part of his campaign, free transportation.
So the governor of New York's already said no, we
can't do that. We don't have the resources. We're going
to raw rab Rossis boomba to get him elected while
he's saying this crap full well knowing there's no possible
(07:19):
way we can ever allow it to happen, which is
what she did. It can't happen because there's no money
to make it happen. Where do you get the money. Well,
you have to tax people, but we'll tax the corporations first.
What happens when you tax the corporations, they pay their
employees less, they charge you more for their stuff. This
(07:40):
is how they balance their sheet. The circle has to balance.
So now people are making less money because the people
paying them have less money to pay them. And the
people who are buying their product, well, they don't buy
as much of the product because the product had to
go up in cost. Well, now we don't need as
(08:02):
many people to sell stuff to you because you're not
buying the product because it costs too much. Now we
don't need to have that company making as much of
that product because we're not selling as much of that product.
So the company making the stuff they lay people off.
Those people aren't shopping at the local Walmart or Kroger
or whatever anymore because they don't have jobs anymore. You've
(08:22):
got to understand people, the government doesn't make it happen.
We do, and I firmly have a big positive mindset
when it comes to what we are about to do.
Columbus gas prices. This is something because I was on
the WSY six siting. As a matter of fact, Columbus
gas prices rise nearly ten cents in a week, reaching
three zero three a gallon. That's the headline on this story. Now,
