Speaker 1 (00:01):
Tim called the magic number eight two one, nine six. Tim,
when you got a comment about the infrastructure, brother.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yeah, I just wanted to give you some good news
about US thirty three. They've now started to four lane
that from Athens to Interstate seventy seven, which includes another
bridge across the Ohio River.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Really did they start on the bridge yet?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
They haven't started on the bridge yet, but they've cleared
away all of the right away for the actual double
lane highway that's going to go in. But I was
told this weekend by a guy that has a business
there on the West Virginia side that they're going to
buy his place because the bridge is going to go
right through it.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
That's awesome for him. He'll get above them and beyond
with that place is worth Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
And you'll get no more stoplights. Hopefully they're in Carrol
or right outside of Logan or Logan maybe I can't
remember where the other ones at, but anyway, four lanes
all the way to seventy seven.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Wow. Well, it's like the bypass down through New Boston
an area.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
What's that down by the road with that part of
the ice to do car shows for PEPSI donner pass
up you rip up over the mountain.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Man, you go, you take thirty minutes off your drive.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah that's true. Yeah, yeah, okay, well good. I hope
you guys can talk about the auto f and uh
we're going to.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Get to that one, all right, brother. So that's a
good point to the big beautiful bill. I don't think
the left knows what to do right now because we
were talking earlier. Gas prices are down, inflation is better,
everything is going the right direction. Let's make no mistake.
If you want to be half glass empty in the world.
(01:39):
The rich people sit back and wait. They're not going
to invest their money and they're not going to do
crazy stuff. When you have Joe Biden in the White House,
they're going to sit back and do it when they
can know they can make money. They've got money, They've
got their nest eggs. You know they got they got
seven figures in the bank. Most of us don't. So
we need those guys and girls. Get an argument with
a live buddy of mine, I can't leave the liberal
(02:00):
by the way, but he said, well, why do school
teachers pay more percentage of taxes than a billionaire? I said, okay,
let's just take a guy that makes a million dollars
a year. How much does he pay an income tax? Okay,
so the teacher makes one hundred grand a year with
all of his or her extra stuff, I say she
paid him thirty five thousand dollars. Who's paid him more taxes?
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Well, I mean that's kind of an unfair question because
you don't know where he's getting his money. He's a millionaire.
But is that million dollars of investment?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
No, I'm saying he's say he works at the IBM,
and he's a vice president making a million a year,
and he's paying taxes like you and I pay.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yeah, I guarantee you he's not paying a lower rate
than a school team.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
No, I guarantee he's paying about three hundred thousand dollars
a year in income tax.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
So higher bracket.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
What's what's better for our government to waste money than
his income or her income? Not picking on a teacher.
At one point, they were underpaid. Now they're finally paid.
I know teachers will make ninety grand a year now,
as they should. Because you'd have to pay me two
hundred grand a year, I'd be in jail for killing
on a little snotty you know what, but so big
beautiful bill. I'm hearing all positives. And when the left
(03:12):
loses their mind what Ron Reagan say, how come every
time we're probably going to get cer and lower taxes,
the left goes insane.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Why well you know about this big beautiful bill. Okay,
the biggest negative for people who are there's a lot
of people that are really angry out there on X
and whatnot. A lot of Republicans say, I didn't vote
for this because there's not a lot of spending reduction
to go around. And what I said to people is
(03:40):
this is a start. This is six months into Trump's
first year of his second term. It's not the end.
So what they wanted to do is to make sure
that they had border security, fix the immigration problem and
make sure that we can deport all of these illegals,
and then to keep the twenty seventeen tax cuts in place.
So now they're not the twenty seventeen tax cuts, they
(04:03):
are the permanent lower marginal tax rates, and that's going
to allow the economy to really prosper over the years. Okay,
over the next.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Horrible horrible, that's horrible. Why don't we want that to happen?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
We got, we have safety, and we have economics in this.
Does it get everything done? Does it fix you know,
Social Security that's going to go under in twenty thirty
three and we're going to get automatic Social Security payment reductions?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Nope?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
You know, does it fix everything about Medicaid? We'll fix
some of it, you know. Now, able bodied working adults
are going to have to start uh will not get
automatic access to to Medicaid, and you won't get the
streamlined Medicare savings option that a lot of able bodied
working adults got before. I want to I got a
(04:53):
few headlines from the big beautiful bill, but I want
to point to a small one that hasn't gotten any
attention that I'm aware of, and that is eighty eight
million dollars for a pandemic response Accountability committee is in
the big beautiful Bill. Now, I haven't seen anybody talk
about that.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Eighty eight Okay, wait, eighty eight million dollars.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Eighty eight million dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
That's basically and layman terms to go and investigate the
waste and the insanity that the fakedemic caused us.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
I don't know any more details to that, but I
do know that sounds like a serious inquisition of the
faucies and the burks, and the tyranny and the lockdowns
and all this garbage that we got in twenty twenty
one and twenty twenty two, the vaccine mandates and so on.
So Congress, led by a congressman from down in Cincinnati,
(05:45):
they had a really good Congressional subcommittee on the pandemic
with with tons of good information. So I'm interested in
how that correlates to that. But I'm interested to see
how that goes.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So is it safe to say that it is true
that recruiting for our military is an all time high?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
It is, That's what I've heard. They've hit their their
targets five months into this year.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
So might come back to a lib right there. Okay,
so what about this?
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Well, I argue, well, though those.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Kids were taught to hate and blow people up, I
can hear the insanity that will come out of their mouth,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Well, as a son who joined the Army National Guard
last year, I'm having a son that I'm super proud
of him, and these guys like him are the guys
that you want in our services. There there's a lot
of good young men and women. I've got a niece
who just joined the Marine Corps, and you know, things
(06:40):
are looking better for the American military in terms of
of attitude and recruiting.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
We're proud of them.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
We've always been us guys. But I just don't understand.
And you know something else that struck me this week
that I was in the Red, White and Boom prayed
with PEPSI and there was hardy anybody in that parade,
and it baffled me. And I looked at the guy
was driving a jeek and I said, where is everybody?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Hes They just don't come to this anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
And in the city did a great job. There was
a police officer every two feet and there was big
giant plow trucks blocking the intersections, so some crazy guy
and a Dodge Challenger could come run through the crowd.
But the funny thing is to me, was I go
to the Westeral Parade, which I saw you there. It
was packed. I'm telling you packed. It was five six
(07:31):
people deep. At one point there had to be ten
thousand people all the way down Westernal Road, clear down
a shock almost. And it baffles me that downtown can't
get that, because I think people don't feel safe being downtown.
But there was a big coexistent all that weirdness people
(07:51):
dudes wearing dresses and all the stuff that you don't want.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
To be around.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Let's just face it, you know, people, I'm tired of it.
I'm tired of it. I'm tired of people will shoving
stuff in my face. And in a beautiful, big, beautiful bill.
Water thing on that topic is is there anything in
there about the men in transgender transgender men and women's sports.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Isn't that in there?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
The bill bands funding for transgender surgeries.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
That is what I saw, So we shouldn't Yeah, we
shouldn't have to pay for that. I mean, when somebody's eighteen,
if they want to get their package cut off, knock
yourself out.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I don't care. But when you're a twelve year old
little boy.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
And your mom's half nuts, and you know, every one
of those I watch, usually the divorced the dad has
no say in it. Mom, I think, believes it's true
and wants to push it to get under the dad's
skin because most dads I don't know any dad in
the world in my world, say oh, I'm glad my
son's not a earl I've never heard that.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I haven't met any transgender offspring of Republicans.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
That's just me.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
The ones I've seen are usually kookie Hollywood types. Their
parents are yes. And when you have multiple transgender her
offspring in the same family, you have to wonder what
kind of indoctrination and weirdness is going on there.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
What's the one lady's name's been around forever? I was
in the movie with Uh.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
There's Cynthia Nixon. I know she had transgender.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
All the son or the pretty lady that was in
h Angelina Julie No.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I think she's she's our age. She's in her sixties now.
She was in Halloween, the Star Halloween, the Pretty Lady Halloween.
Someone text me, but her daughter's trans, which is fine.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
It's a a lot of the Hollywood types transgender kids.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
If if I'll get I'll get hate for this. But
if my son came to me and thought he was
a girl, I would instantly go to a psychiatrist or
whatever and figure out what's going on with him.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Now, if he's gay, I get it. But if he
thinks he's a girl, I just can't wrap my hands
around that.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Yeah, let him grow out of it or something. And
what I've read top line is that a lot of
transgender young people turn out to just be gay in
their adult life.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
It's just okay, yeah, they're just a little confused.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
And Jamie Lee curtisie, So I.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Always say just this saying that my friends when we
have this discussion, I'm like, if I was we were
big wood choppers.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
In my family. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
My dad had two fireplaces and we chopped with all
the time. Cool we weren't chopping wood, and I wouldn't stacking.
And if I was ten years old and I looked
at old pork chop was my day dad's nickname, I said, Dad,
I think I'm a girl. He would have hit me
right you know where I'd have went to my knees.
My brothers would have laughed. My dad goes, well, what
are you now, I'm not get up and stacked the wood,
and it would have left my system.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
When when I was growing up, that was an incomprehensible
kind of situation.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
It was like they would.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Be like, what what in the world are you talking about?
Are They're just like, it's just a kid being a kid.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Or he's joking around.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Now it's now in terms of surgery apparently.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Like okay, let's cut it off.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, well we got to go to break. There is
raw Indian boots on news reading. Well, I don't usually
play Bruce Springsteen.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
That wasn't me.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I'm anti Bruce Springsteen. You probably know that, did you, Chris?
I'm done with him too. He's on my bucket list
to go away, Scoop. What do you got for us, buddy, Scoop?
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Hey, President Trump's going to give everybody who has the
baby the next couple of years like a thousand dollars
gift certificate, you know, like a bomb. That's money. Of course,
the Democrats take that because they kill most of their
babies in newborns, so that didn't have benefit demail. But
you're also going to give senior citizens an extra six
thousand dollars tax credits, so you're going to start pulling
some of your money out you're four and k y.
It will be non taxtable for the next three years.
(11:47):
So six thousand dollars for three years in a row
would eighteen thousand dollars be tax free. So that's that's
the best fit right there. So that we're not paying
tax on that. That's a good benefit of that.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
That bill, right, you're referring to the Trump account. It's
the tax to firm savings accounts for children. The government
will put in one thousand dollars for babies born in
the next four years. And the second thing was the
was the response to the no taxes on Social Security
promise during the campaign. The best best that they could
(12:17):
do was a six thousand dollars deduction for seniors. And
you know, some people are happy with that, some people aren't.
I think it over complicates the tax code, but you
know they're not asking me.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I like, I like the no tips and the no
I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I think that that every most waitresses that I've ever
been around have it's usually a second job, and they
live on tips. And I think that would be a
huge help to our economy because these people can spend
more money and pay more bill.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
So there's a cap to that.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
I think it's twenty five thousand dollars and you can't
make too much money on it, so they can't game
the system where all of a sudden, everything you make
is on tips. But am can learned about the overtime piece,
because when I read the other day that lifeguards in
Los Angeles make up to five hundred thousand dollars a
year and a lot.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Of that is ot.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I think over time, I wonder how they keep from
gaming some of that. And I know there's a cap
on no tax on overtime as well.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
I don't know it, just I hope it.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I hope someone's smart enough to figure it out that
he appoint a tax are for the tip thing or
what do we do there, because there has to be
somebody knowing what's going on.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Well, the irs will have to write some of those
some of those rules, and I am seeing that phases
out for people earning over one hundred and fifty k
or couple's earning three hundred K. But I do like
the no taxes on tips. I worked my way through
school waiting tables and doing room service and stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
But overtime on overtime not tax.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I like that because I remember correctly, I've always been
on commission. But when I used to get overtime in
one of my jobs, they tax the heck out of it.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
They overtaxed.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
I do exit at the highest highest rule.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, so no, I think that's more than fair. Because
someone's working their butt off, putting eighty hours a week,
why should they be penalized. Yep, so we can give
it to people that don't work. I guess that's the theory, right,
It's a great scoop.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Have you ever worked on tips? He gone? We lost
with it. I mean, that's the thing. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
If if we knew that the government got the money
and did what was right with it, then it'd be
a whole different program. Yeah, but I don't know. I
don't even know what At this point in life. There's
so much wrong. And I think as a country in
the last one hundred years we've grown so rapidly and
made some decisions that were based on getting a vote
(14:40):
and what wasn't right that we're finally paying the consequences for.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
That makes sense, Yeah, it does. And I hope that
the doze work continues. With Elon not being there. I'm
seeing things in the in the not in the headlines,
but of finding waste fraud abuse still, and I hope
Congress does something about that, yeah, and eliminate some of
that garbage.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I don't know, really, I just hope that everyone uses
common sense, because I think it's kind of like when
your buddy goes out and kills someone drinking and driving,
that guy will often stick up for him. But if
that guy kills your buddy, then you want him hung,
you know, put him in jail. Resid's life. He killed
my best friend. But if your best friend kills somebody,
it's like, well, he wasn't a bad guy. I think
(15:21):
human nature is our biggest problem, no common sense, and
we got to do what's right. And you know, I
totally agree we should feed kids food that the parents
are scumballs. But again I also feel if you can't
feed him, don't breed them. I've always said that too,
you know. And I always hear about people getting hit
with no insurance. We have insurance laws, but someone hits
your car and you don't have insurance, and guess why
(15:43):
you eat it.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
So there's so many things that go on that I
don't understand.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Well, I'm not sure where it's at today, but at
some point in some jurisdictions, the government paid for every
single kid to have breakfast in lunch at school, so
that if you made a half million dollars a year,
your kids would eat for for free, when the tax payadime.
That doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I don't know either, right, I don't. There should be
a limit.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
But anyway, so we've got about what a minute one minute,
So the next hour we're going to talk about Trump's
accomplishments so far, and then you can tell me it's.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
On even what six months?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
You said about six six months so, and then talk
more government in sanity. We aren't doing Riva today because
that's Mindy's baby, and I didn't feel like making the
questions because I've been so busy in parades and fun.
I've been busy, and I one arm paper hanger. That's
my boss used to say. But again, if you have
ain't anything you want to add into this. Eight two
one nine eighty six is the magic number six one
for eight two one nine eight eight six. And our
(16:40):
buddy lad is brought to you by who.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
The Stand and Speak show and or Old Mold Mint
or moments it is Zach.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Well let you play that out.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, Zach's hope he's listening. He was supposed to be
here today kind of the mold guys. He's ever at
Costco buying some goodies. He's a busy, busy guy. So
if you have mold in your house, make sure you
hear the commercial. But he will take care of us.
So this is raw Mini Boots. Next hour coming up,
