Speaker 1 (00:01):
Your summer back, back of the information.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I love how they just cover everything.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Fifty five KRC the talk station Ato five and fifty
five KRC de Talk Station. Happy Friday, Extra Special, welcome back.
It's extra special because we get the return of proudly
representing Ohio's second District Congressman David tayl Or. Good to
have you back, Dave. That's a giant chunk of land,
(00:27):
that second district, and we thank everyone in the second
District for putting you in office. It's good to have
you back on the morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Thank you, Brian. It's not about the prettiest part of Ohio.
We're glad to represent it.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I know you're proud of it, and I will get
I will let you know. Brig him account from the
Hudsonents too, was just in the show for the last
hour talking about energy policy and his economic meeting in
Europe that he attended. On his way out, he said, oh,
David Taylor is going to be on. He's a great guy.
I really think the world of him. So if Brigha
McCowan likes you, I think that's a rubber stamp of approval.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I'm glad to hear that. I appreciate that. I'm saying
that the hard work they do well.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
You voted in favor of the one, Big Beautiful Bill.
I do not like the name of it, but I
like a lot about what's in it.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I'm kind of on the the Thomas Massey Ran Paul
side of the equation about the deficit hole we keep
digging ourselves in. It looks like there's no end in sight.
But despite that, there are some really good things in it.
And the Democrats is screaming and yelling, mostly about the
cuts to Medicaid, although they seem to want to overlook
(01:28):
that this would have been the largest tax increase had
it not passed that America has ever seen all these
middle class homes. And they keep talking about billionaires getting
a tax cut. They never quite mentioned the fact that
the middle class also is getting a rather extraordinary tax
cut considering the income brackets involved.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
No doubt, Brian, the actually middle and lower income folks
we are going to see the bigger percentage of tax
break from the Big Beautiful Bill. There really are no
cuts to Medicaid. You know, we got through quite a
bit of debate. You're probably followed some of that in
our sort of all night session, and I listened to
what I didn't. I might have lost count at some point,
(02:07):
but I believe it was about one hundred and five
Democrats stand up in demand that there be no cuts whatsoever,
no no looking whatsoever at Medicaid or SNAP for any
kind of fraud, waste abuse. They wanted illegals to continue
to benefit from it. They wanted absolutely nothing done to
stop the massive overspent on those those two programs, two
(02:27):
vital programs that you know are not sustainable if we
don't look at how the money is spent. So they
lined up and all made the exact same motion, saying,
we demand illegals on these programs, We demand other frausters
to continue to get their money, and we demand that
the the bureaucracy itself continued to be wasteful. So it
was something to see.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
It really is and was, And you know, one one
must look to the original purpose of Medicaid, which to
help those on life's margins, get them through the bad
phase of their life they're going in so that they
can then free themselves with the build court of government
and hopefully go on and get a job. But by
expanding Medicaid ranks which is what Obamacare, what they did
during the Obama administration, and offering these welfare benefits to
(03:11):
able bodied people who should be in the workforce. I
think it's revealing of the ultimate subterfuge that's going on here,
which is their ultimate goal, the Democrats goal to really
turn Medicaid into what they wanted, which was national healthcare
coverage for all. They wanted to put everyone on Medicaid
at some point.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Right And you know another thing, it's kind of cynical
in my mind that the CBO says that millions of
people are going to lose their Medicaid coverage because the
work requirements come in. The idea that these people might
instead comply with the work requirements, which factually are not
work requirements to begin with, doesn't cross their mind. Like
(03:52):
these work requirements come in, which we have in basically
every other federal safety net program. These come in, and
their their presumption is that they're just gonna refuse to
meet these requirements, which include you you can you can volunteer,
you can get word training for the terrible cost of
twenty hours a week, which most Americans don't even consider
(04:13):
a full time job. You can volunteer at your own
child's school twenty hours a week and meet this requirement.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And continue to get to online, right, and continue to
get the benefits. I mean, you're not losing your coverage.
You just need to get off your butt for a
couple of minutes a week, right, I mean, isn't that
what this comes down to.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Exactly? And you can, Brian, you can literally do it
from your butt. You can do it on the computer.
That all makes you want. That's an excellent point. And
meet the requirements.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah, oh wow, you know. And I it's just well, anyway,
they're trying to make a mount of a molehill of
a non issue effectively, is what this is. So you know,
women with young children and disabled folks and everybody else
is going to ttinue to get their medicaid benefits. But
there is a heap lot of fraud, waste and abuse,
and there are a whole lot of illegal immigrants that
sign up for these social welfare safety net programs. But
(05:05):
the fundamental point that almost was glossed over in your
initial comments, no snowfall of view, is these programs are
on a downward slide to becoming bankrupt. I mean, we
hear about its social Security all the time, they're going
to be taking less money in then they pay out.
That is a huge problem for folks who rely on
Social Security. Medicare and Medicaid are kind of in the
same boat. They're not sustainable in the current trajectory. So
(05:28):
history will look back and perhaps say, you know what,
the saviors of Medicaid or the Republican Party.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Right like the people you just talked about in pregnant women, children, seniors,
people with disabilities that rely on Medicaid are in the
long run going to lose their benefits because we can't
do it anymore because it's unsustainable. So if we don't
weed out they illegals, the people who are the so
called able bodied adults without dependence who just refuse to work.
(06:01):
If we don't get these sort of folks that shouldn't
be on there to begin with off, these programs will
be sustainable for the people who truly need it. And
as you said, these programs are supposed to be temporary
help to get you back on your feet. As Chairman
Thompson says, it is supposed to be a trampoline, not
a spider web. When you hit it and it helps
you back up, the goal of all these programs has
(06:22):
to be to get folks back on their feet well.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
And the other component of this is I would argue
that this twenty hour a week, you know a training
requirement if you want to call it for some or
you know community service requirement if you want to go
down that road to fulfill your twenty hours. But in
so far as job training is concerned, it couldn't come
at a better time. I got Jack Winsor going to
join the program at bottom they are. He's the editor
in chief over the Hile Press network. Talking about small
(06:47):
business owners struggling to fill jobs. I mean, the trades
are a wonderful career opportunity. It doesn't take a four
year education to get a job in the trades, electric plumbing, HVACM,
there's a multitude truction. Demand is high, and you've got
a bunch of small businesses clamoring for people willing to work. Boom.
The answer to your prayer is, Okay, I got to
(07:08):
do some job training. Why not go out there and
earn while I learn in the trade profession. Timing's perfect, right, yeah?
Oh absolutely. The primary complaint I hear from small business
owners throughout the second District is we just can't get
anybody to work. Well, you continue to make the finance
their lifestyle from their home, then they're not going to work.
(07:29):
So changes have to be made. These able bodied folks
need to work. They're all going to be happier in
the long run because, as you and I know, they
don't make the rules. But if you feel like you're
contributing something at work, you come home at the end
of the day generally are a happier person. You may
not all love your job every minute of every day,
but at the end of the week you say, you know,
(07:50):
I accomplished something this week. Somebody needed me and I
was there. That helps people. There's no way around it.
All right, we go a couple of minutes left in
the segment. Congressman Dave Taylor from the second District, what's
beyond the enshrinement of the tax cuts permanent? Which is
great hate. I could go on a tear about all
(08:13):
the times they do tax policy and it's limited some
short period of time or ten years. They kick the
can down the road, and they forced another Congress to
have to address it. At least this is permanent. If
you're gonna want to raise taxes. You're gonna have to
run on it, right, I mean, and no one likes
to hear about their taxes going up, So good luck
with trying to raise taxes down the road. So that
kind of bursts the bubble of that possibility. If we
(08:34):
get a Democrat Congress, they may try, but I don't
think it will be popular with American people. Considering Trump
ran on this. I mean, he was elected by a
majority of the population, he won the majority of states,
he won the electoral college across the board. It was
a win, and he did not pull any punches letting
the American people know what his agenda would be. This
was in there. It's what we wanted.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Absolutely right. Usually you get these big thousand page bills
and there's a bunch of so called pork in there.
Every every aspect of the big beautiful bill is a
campaign promise President Trump made. It's the agenda that people
voted for in November is being implemented. It's you know,
it's being codified. And as you said, you're the tax
(09:18):
policy is vital. And the fact that these tax changes
are not sunset, not sunsetting. It was part of the
negotiation process. So the doubling of the tax child tax credit,
doubling of the standard deduction, the twenty percent deduction for
small businesses, the death tax tax exemption is doubled and
(09:38):
made permanent. It goes on and on, and it's going
to be to the extreme benefit of you know, main
street America. So no bill is perfect, but it's a
darn good.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
One, and you know, don't throw out the good for
the sake of the perfect. I understand that argument. Of course,
it's been made over again and the lead up to it,
because there was some concern whether you know, the likes
of Thomas Massey and others wouldn't get the perfection they
were looking for. But I understand their principal point. Let's
continue with Congressman Dave Taylor after take quick Breakcare mentioned
(10:09):
plump type plumbing because you deserve better. Plum type plumbing
delivers on better, better customer service, better prices. They don't
charge the service fee, they don't charge for an estimate,
the aplus and the better business bureau. Some pump issues
have experienced a heavy rain of light. Now there's a
problem they can easily fix for you. Slower clog drains.
Of course, Number one installer on the tri State. For
tankless water heaters, you can save money, have unlimited hot water,
(10:33):
save a huge amount of space by going with tankless,
which actually lasts longer than the traditional tank units by
about five or more years. It's great for growing families,
folks who regularly run out of water, that kind of thing,
because you do get that unlimited hot water. They also
offer trenchless sewer line repair, no digging up your yard.
Call the professionals a plumbing done right. It's plumbing done
(10:54):
right and they live by that motto. Five one three
seven two seven tite five one three seven to two
of an eighty four eighty three Online you find them
at plumtight dot com fifty five krc OHC. Still, what
else is in that that you are particularly fond of
or proud of, Dave Taylor? Beyond the tax cuts which
I think you and I chategory across the border great
(11:15):
for everybody.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, the very important for our district was the community
in rural hospital funding. I think everybody that you looked
into it much knows that the provider tax structure we
use now to fund it, it's sort of sort of
an inherently unfair to the taxpayer system. On the other hand,
community hospitals have to can you continue to be funded fully?
(11:38):
And you know, we have great community hospitals in the
Second District. We just need more of them, so funding
has to continue. So my hat's off to the Senate
for the changes they made to how community hospitals are funded.
We're in close contact with Senator Houston and Senator Marino
and the community hospital leaders from from the Second District
(11:59):
and around the state. Before the big beautiful bill got
across the finish line. They came up with a great solution.
The community hospitals are very pleased with it. And for
those of you they have Ohioans and think, oh, we
have two brand new senators, maybe we're not getting the
best bang for a buck in the Senate. I promise
those two guys are kicking the same thing we were
(12:20):
talking about sitting on earlier. They're doing a great job
over there in the Senate for Ohio in all kinds
of ways. So very proud to get to work with
those guys. Well.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
In terms of energy policy, I understand it's a large
expansion of domestic oil and gas production capacity. I know
it comes at a kind of an odd time globally
with OPEC increasing output, and I think it's done with
a specific design to keep us from opening more wells.
But we'll deal with the consequences of that as we
move forward. But also, and this is something I talked
with Brigham the gown about, with energy policy, an opportunity
(12:52):
to start building more nuclear power plants, which I think
are the ultimate key and answer to our energy production
issues here in America.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I agree, Brandon, you have the the second District is
going to have a large part to play with that.
As I think we might have talked about last time.
We have the only uranium enrichment facility that's American owned
in the United States and Pike County. But yeah, I
like hearing all forms of energy talked about. I'm for
You're even people are even talking about coal that the
President's talking about the coal again. But I do believe
(13:27):
nuclear is the future, and you know that's it's gonna
it could very well be the epicenter of it right
here in southern Ohio. Uh, there are small modular nuclear
reactorc companies who are eyeing the site and uh, we're
hoping for big things out of there. You know, it's obviously,
it's clean, it's abund and it's cheap. It's it's a
(13:47):
solution to every aspect of the the energy concerns, whether
it does be environmental or supply and uh, it's a road.
We have to travel in it safely, responsibly and soon,
all right.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
And one of the criticisms from many, I think think
I will throw myself into the hat along that. Not
that I'm against funding the military, but when you have
an American military and a budget that they cannot even
pass an audit five times in a row, I call
that a giant red flag, most notably on the heels
of what DOGE was able to figure out with even
just one department of government that's usaid. No one is
(14:22):
ever going to be able to convince me there isn't
massive amounts of fraud, waste, and abuse in American military,
which has now has a budget of a trillion dollars.
Is there any hope that I'm going to have my
prayers answered that will unleash DOGE or some other entity
like an Inspector General on the military spending budget to
fire it out the fraud, waste, abuse. So maybe we
don't have to spend that much mundy annually to keep
(14:43):
our military ready and armed.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, the brand, I think you're even being extra kind.
I think it's eight audits able to meet their number.
So either way, one is too many. And the Big
Beautiful Bill does have one hundred fifty billion dollars for
modernization of our military, which is vill you're getting out
built in navy vessels by China at an alarming rate and
(15:08):
at a current we don't even have the capacity to
build at the rate their buildings. Right, money has to
be spent, but it has to be spent wisely. And
I think you know that the dose activity is going
to continue even without Elon Musk And obviously the Department
of Defense is how long have we heard the joke
(15:28):
about the five hundred dollars toilet seed? Yeah, so it
just you know, chugs on and on. So it has
to be looked into our dollars. We worked hard for them,
and we're happy to spend them to protect our country.
But that's what they need to be spent on, not
on a bloated waste. All right.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
And finally, before we heard of our company, Congressman Taylor,
we got money to secure border. Lots more ice officers money,
more border patrol agents, all of which are apparently doing
a very effective job right now. Do you think it's
still necessary to build a wall? I mean, considering the
last administration and the numbers just flowing over the border,
that was because it was facilitated. I mean, we hung
(16:10):
a dangling cart of open borders and free benefits and
stuff and things. The world showed up at the southern
border and in the northern border as well, and we
didn't do anything to stop it. As soon as Trump
gets elected, it's almost it stopped completely. I mean there
were very few interactions, and those who interacted with ICE
agents were sent back home so they weren't admitted into
the United States. We've almost shut down the illegal flow
(16:32):
of immigration. Do we really need the wall if the
agents themselves are doing an effective job of stopping the
flow of humanity.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
It's a good question, Brian. I think on a cost
to effectiveness basis, we should be going forward with the wall,
and they are certain parts, so the bigger part of
it is not wall. I think there's seven hundred miles
left to cover, or seven hundred miles of wall and
sixteen hundred total miles left to secure and for the
(17:00):
dollars at that cost and effect the effectiveness that it
has long term, especially in the event of a we
go back to a Democrat controlled Congress and White House
where you know, there what seemed to be their primary
motivation was to get as many people as possible across
the southern border. At least the wall would serve to
slow it down in that circumstance. Uh So, yeah, I think,
(17:23):
you know, you know, for value for a dollar. Yeah,
I'm for the wall, for the for the barricade, because
it's going to help our border patrol too. We went
down to uh the Gallas crossing point, and I mean
that place is immaculate. They were showing us the intake
and holding areas and there wasn't the sole in there
that when while we were there, we didn't see anybody
even attempt to cross. And those guys are happy as
(17:44):
they can be, and they're working hard and been you know,
allowed to do their job, which is all they ever
asked for. So I'm from making their job as easy
as possible, for protecting America at the highest level we
can for the most reasonable price we can, and I
think the wall does that.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Dave Taylor and thanks to all those in the second
district in Ohio for electing Dave. He's doing a great
job up there. And keep up the great work, Dave,
and we'll continue as we move forward with the Trump
administration see if he can't fulfill more of his promises
that he ran on. And Dave keep doing the great work,
my friend. I'll look forward to having it back in
the morning show real soon. Thank you, Brian, my pleasure.

That all makes you want. That's an excellent point. And
meet the requirements.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah, oh wow, you know. And I it's just well, anyway,
they're trying to make a mount of a molehill of

their lifestyle from their home, then they're not going to work.
(07:29):
So changes have to be made. These able bodied folks
need to work. They're all going to be happier in
the long run because, as you and I know, they
don't make the rules. But if you feel like you're
contributing something at work, you come home at the end
of the day generally are a happier person. You may
not all love your job every minute of every day,
but at the end of the week you say, you know,
(07:50):
I accomplished something this week. Somebody needed me and I
was there. That helps people. There's no way around it.
All right, we go a couple of minutes left in
the segment. Congressman Dave Taylor from the second District, what's
beyond the enshrinement of the tax cuts permanent? Which is
great hate. I could go on a tear about all
(08:13):
the times they do tax policy and it's limited some
short period of time or ten years. They kick the
can down the road, and they forced another Congress to
have to address it. At least this is permanent. If
you're gonna want to raise taxes. You're gonna have to
run on it, right, I mean, and no one likes
to hear about their taxes going up, So good luck
with trying to raise taxes down the road. So that
kind of bursts the bubble of that possibility. If we
(08:34):
get a Democrat Congress, they may try, but I don't
think it will be popular with American people. Considering Trump
ran on this. I mean, he was elected by a
majority of the population, he won the majority of states,
he won the electoral college across the board. It was
a win, and he did not pull any punches letting
the American people know what his agenda would be. This
was in there. It's what we wanted.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Absolutely right. Usually you get these big thousand page bills
and there's a bunch of so called pork in there.
Every every aspect of the big beautiful bill is a
campaign promise President Trump made. It's the agenda that people
voted for in November is being implemented. It's you know,
it's being codified. And as you said, you're the tax
(09:18):
policy is vital. And the fact that these tax changes
are not sunset, not sunsetting. It was part of the
negotiation process. So the doubling of the tax child tax credit,
doubling of the standard deduction, the twenty percent deduction for
small businesses, the death tax tax exemption is doubled and
(09:38):
made permanent. It goes on and on, and it's going
to be to the extreme benefit of you know, main
street America. So no bill is perfect, but it's a
darn good.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
One, and you know, don't throw out the good for
the sake of the perfect. I understand that argument. Of course,
it's been made over again and the lead up to it,
because there was some concern whether you know, the likes
of Thomas Massey and others wouldn't get the perfection they
were looking for. But I understand their principal point. Let's
continue with Congressman Dave Taylor after take quick Breakcare mentioned
(10:09):
plump type plumbing because you deserve better. Plum type plumbing
delivers on better, better customer service, better prices. They don't
charge the service fee, they don't charge for an estimate,
the aplus and the better business bureau. Some pump issues
have experienced a heavy rain of light. Now there's a
problem they can easily fix for you. Slower clog drains.
Of course, Number one installer on the tri State. For
tankless water heaters, you can save money, have unlimited hot water,
(10:33):
save a huge amount of space by going with tankless,
which actually lasts longer than the traditional tank units by
about five or more years. It's great for growing families,
folks who regularly run out of water, that kind of thing,
because you do get that unlimited hot water. They also
offer trenchless sewer line repair, no digging up your yard.
Call the professionals a plumbing done right. It's plumbing done
(10:54):
right and they live by that motto. Five one three
seven two seven tite five one three seven to two
of an eighty four eighty three Online you find them
at plumtight dot com fifty five krc OHC. Still, what
else is in that that you are particularly fond of
or proud of, Dave Taylor? Beyond the tax cuts which
I think you and I chategory across the border great
(11:15):
for everybody.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, the very important for our district was the community
in rural hospital funding. I think everybody that you looked
into it much knows that the provider tax structure we
use now to fund it, it's sort of sort of
an inherently unfair to the taxpayer system. On the other hand,
community hospitals have to can you continue to be funded fully?
(11:38):
And you know, we have great community hospitals in the
Second District. We just need more of them, so funding
has to continue. So my hat's off to the Senate
for the changes they made to how community hospitals are funded.
We're in close contact with Senator Houston and Senator Marino
and the community hospital leaders from from the Second District
(11:59):
and around the state. Before the big beautiful bill got
across the finish line. They came up with a great solution.
The community hospitals are very pleased with it. And for
those of you they have Ohioans and think, oh, we
have two brand new senators, maybe we're not getting the
best bang for a buck in the Senate. I promise
those two guys are kicking the same thing we were
(12:20):
talking about sitting on earlier. They're doing a great job
over there in the Senate for Ohio in all kinds
of ways. So very proud to get to work with
those guys. Well.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
In terms of energy policy, I understand it's a large
expansion of domestic oil and gas production capacity. I know
it comes at a kind of an odd time globally
with OPEC increasing output, and I think it's done with
a specific design to keep us from opening more wells.
But we'll deal with the consequences of that as we
move forward. But also, and this is something I talked
with Brigham the gown about, with energy policy, an opportunity
(12:52):
to start building more nuclear power plants, which I think
are the ultimate key and answer to our energy production
issues here in America.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I agree, Brandon, you have the the second District is
going to have a large part to play with that.
As I think we might have talked about last time.
We have the only uranium enrichment facility that's American owned
in the United States and Pike County. But yeah, I
like hearing all forms of energy talked about. I'm for
You're even people are even talking about coal that the
President's talking about the coal again. But I do believe
(13:27):
nuclear is the future, and you know that's it's gonna
it could very well be the epicenter of it right
here in southern Ohio. Uh, there are small modular nuclear
reactorc companies who are eyeing the site and uh, we're
hoping for big things out of there. You know, it's obviously,
it's clean, it's abund and it's cheap. It's it's a
(13:47):
solution to every aspect of the the energy concerns, whether
it does be environmental or supply and uh, it's a road.
We have to travel in it safely, responsibly and soon,
all right.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
And one of the criticisms from many, I think think
I will throw myself into the hat along that. Not
that I'm against funding the military, but when you have
an American military and a budget that they cannot even
pass an audit five times in a row, I call
that a giant red flag, most notably on the heels
of what DOGE was able to figure out with even
just one department of government that's usaid. No one is
(14:22):
ever going to be able to convince me there isn't
massive amounts of fraud, waste, and abuse in American military,
which has now has a budget of a trillion dollars.
Is there any hope that I'm going to have my
prayers answered that will unleash DOGE or some other entity
like an Inspector General on the military spending budget to
fire it out the fraud, waste, abuse. So maybe we
don't have to spend that much mundy annually to keep
(14:43):
our military ready and armed.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, the brand, I think you're even being extra kind.
I think it's eight audits able to meet their number.
So either way, one is too many. And the Big
Beautiful Bill does have one hundred fifty billion dollars for
modernization of our military, which is vill you're getting out
built in navy vessels by China at an alarming rate and
(15:08):
at a current we don't even have the capacity to
build at the rate their buildings. Right, money has to
be spent, but it has to be spent wisely. And
I think you know that the dose activity is going
to continue even without Elon Musk And obviously the Department
of Defense is how long have we heard the joke
(15:28):
about the five hundred dollars toilet seed? Yeah, so it
just you know, chugs on and on. So it has
to be looked into our dollars. We worked hard for them,
and we're happy to spend them to protect our country.
But that's what they need to be spent on, not
on a bloated waste. All right.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
And finally, before we heard of our company, Congressman Taylor,
we got money to secure border. Lots more ice officers money,
more border patrol agents, all of which are apparently doing
a very effective job right now. Do you think it's
still necessary to build a wall? I mean, considering the
last administration and the numbers just flowing over the border,
that was because it was facilitated. I mean, we hung
(16:10):
a dangling cart of open borders and free benefits and
stuff and things. The world showed up at the southern
border and in the northern border as well, and we
didn't do anything to stop it. As soon as Trump
gets elected, it's almost it stopped completely. I mean there
were very few interactions, and those who interacted with ICE
agents were sent back home so they weren't admitted into
the United States. We've almost shut down the illegal flow
(16:32):
of immigration. Do we really need the wall if the
agents themselves are doing an effective job of stopping the
flow of humanity.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
It's a good question, Brian. I think on a cost
to effectiveness basis, we should be going forward with the wall,
and they are certain parts, so the bigger part of
it is not wall. I think there's seven hundred miles
left to cover, or seven hundred miles of wall and
sixteen hundred total miles left to secure and for the
(17:00):
dollars at that cost and effect the effectiveness that it
has long term, especially in the event of a we
go back to a Democrat controlled Congress and White House
where you know, there what seemed to be their primary
motivation was to get as many people as possible across
the southern border. At least the wall would serve to
slow it down in that circumstance. Uh So, yeah, I think,
(17:23):
you know, you know, for value for a dollar. Yeah,
I'm for the wall, for the for the barricade, because
it's going to help our border patrol too. We went
down to uh the Gallas crossing point, and I mean
that place is immaculate. They were showing us the intake
and holding areas and there wasn't the sole in there
that when while we were there, we didn't see anybody
even attempt to cross. And those guys are happy as
(17:44):
they can be, and they're working hard and been you know,
allowed to do their job, which is all they ever
asked for. So I'm from making their job as easy
as possible, for protecting America at the highest level we
can for the most reasonable price we can, and I
think the wall does that.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Dave Taylor and thanks to all those in the second
district in Ohio for electing Dave. He's doing a great
job up there. And keep up the great work, Dave,
and we'll continue as we move forward with the Trump
administration see if he can't fulfill more of his promises
that he ran on. And Dave keep doing the great work,
my friend. I'll look forward to having it back in
the morning show real soon. Thank you, Brian, my pleasure.
