Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey, twelve fifty five Parris de talk station communication breakdown.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
We had the zoom link and that obviously was not.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Working well with Congressman Taylor, and we are lacking a
phone number right now. So Joe's busily trying to find
Congressman Taylor, but sadly not on the line right now,
so have to kind of move on.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
We'll hear from Jay Ratlift bottom of the hour, I
heard aviation expert, and we will be discussing at the
outset the anniversary of nine to eleven, twenty four years ago.
I still just cannot get over how quickly the time
has passed on that. And that's one of those things,
you know, like where were you when Kennedy was assassayed? Well,
I wasn't a gleam of my dad's eye when that aven,
but that was kind of the common thing, you know,
where were you when? Well, I certainly remember where I
(00:42):
was on nine to eleven, driving to corporate headquarters at
Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield in Indianapolis. And as it
was first reported, it was believed that it was a
prop plane that flew into the twin towers. And can't
remember who I was listening to at the time, I
think it was Bob and Tom So And of course
(01:05):
by the time I got the corporate headquarters, everyone was
full aware of what happened and everyone was sent home
that day. It was just awful, awful, but it was
I think, what was at the last time we had
a moment of unity in this country. Well, I don't
say that jokingly, but there was at least that moment
(01:25):
in time, a rally around the flag. America had been attacked,
American values had been attacked by well, some crazy religious
fundamentalists who didn't see it our way. They killed people
because they were in America. Basically, they killed Americans just
(01:49):
simply for being Americans. The folks that died, you think
about that, folks that died at nine to eleven weren't
legitimate targets even just were people living their own lives.
Congressman Taylor, welcome back to the program.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Glad to have you.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Now we've got a landline connection, so we'll be clear
talking again. Going back to your reactions to Charlie Kirk, Congressman, Yeah, sir.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Sorry about that, Brian. I don't know if that's a
connection on my end or what, but I apologize either
with good morning. But before we get started on that,
I just want to take a moment to honor the
memory of those we lost from this day in two
thousand and one, with the terrible news yesterday. It's important
(02:31):
we don't.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Forget that, amen, And it's in victims and.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Brave first responders who charging the danger without a thought
of the room safety. And it's sad that the threat
we face that day still runs over us and we've
lost a lot more life since then trying to fight it.
But as you said that, you're the news of yesterday
afternoons is on everybody. It's in the top of everybody's mind,
and that makes sense. And you know, I'm for the
(02:59):
cooling of red rick On on both sides of the aisle.
But I have to say, I feel like we're reaping
what the what the left has sown since I got
the Congress. I've heard every single Democrat leader call directly
for violence in the streets, and it seems like it's
the only thing they've been effective that since I've gotten here.
(03:20):
They chased the fringe of their base for years. Uh
and now we're suffering the consequences these feel people feel
like their lunacy has been legitimized by Keen Jeffries and
Chuck Schumer and Kamala Harrison right on down the line.
They're acting out against police and ice agents and anyone
who's thousands of conservative views. I have to say it,
(03:44):
and I've thought this for a while and I haven't
said it. It looks to me like a fear response,
and not the fear of some made up threat to democracy,
but a fear that comes from knowing that President Chump's
policies are going to work for all Americans and they'll
be made more and more impotent and irrelevant. So their
(04:04):
last resort is to lash out with the violence. And
it's basically more like a third world political strategy from
the party that because works so hard to import the
third world. Charlie was a great American. He's a loving
husband and father. It was behind your two beautiful children
and young wife, and you should be up hugging his
kids right now this morning. It's really heartbreaking.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It certainly is, and you know, I keep going back
to it was kind of the point of the point
that Ken Blackwell made in his very eloquent statement about
the message of Charlie Kirk and his assassination is not
going to do a damn thing to silence that message,
and in fact, it'll embolden folks here on the scene
side of the political ledger to embrace Charlie Kirk and
go out and further spread his message.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
One hundred percent right. You know what you're seeing a
move to the right politically in gym Z especially. Charlie
is probably more responsible for that than most. So violence
is an attempt to suppress that speech. But I guarantee you,
just like you said, you'll see it many more concerntive
(05:12):
voices rise up in his place. The violence will not
silence these kids. And you know, since the birth of
this country, we've had people willing to give their lives
to preserve it and we're all still here. So I
don't think you're going to see a change from the
right or we're not going to be cowed.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
No, And to those who might be fearful of going
to a rally or a meeting or a collection of
people who are engage in political activism, I would say
stand up to don't be afraid, don't be fearful, don't
expect this is going to happen to you. I mean,
we need to respond to this not by cowering in
our homes, but by going out and defying those that
would want to make us cower in our homes.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Right if you if you back away from being engaged
and what we're dealing with right now, but then you
know we've lost. So I think people recognize that. I
don't think we're going to see but as you said,
I think we're going to see an increase in people
seeking out for, you know, the policies that make America great.
And I think, if you say, you many people online
(06:14):
are celebrating what happened here in the sort of fog
of war that within the twenty four hours I would
but I think in the long term, those extreme leftists
are going to relate to regret what happened yesterday.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I dearly hope for that, and I agree with your
conclusion in that regardless, I can only pray for that conclusion.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
All right.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Pivoting over the work of a congressman, I suppose is
never over, and we'd like to see more people working
on the twelve appropriations bills as we fast approach another
government shutdown, or maybe not if that bill of stop
government shutdowns goes through talk with that about talk with
that or with Congressman Massey about that just yesterday, apparently
by having a bill that says there will be an
(06:56):
automatic continuing resolution keeping funding at the same level as
the prior year should you fail to reach an agreement
on the twelve Appropriations bill on time. I think that's
an effective way to just remove the threat of the
shutdown because Congressman Taylor, for some reason, every time there's
a shutdown, Republicans seem to be blamed for it. And
I understand that's the spin from the mainstream meeting and
the Democrats, but it always seems to land on the
(07:18):
Republicans side of the ledger by way of blame. So
this would take the blame.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Out of it. Yeah, that's an interesting point. And on that,
I was speaking to Congressman Joyce from Ohio yesterday and
they are working extremely hard on the appropriations bill and
very close to wrapping those up good on the House side,
not you know, there's more to it than just the
House side, of course, but work is progressing. They're working
(07:42):
extremely hard. That were late, long, late hours getting through those,
so hopefully we get there. I mean, I don't want
to be Pollyanna until you were going to have a
complete budget reckon failed before September thirtieth, that's extremely unlikely.
So yeah, I think we are looking at other short
term cr clean one, I hope, and maybe not by
(08:06):
the end of the year. Then by the end of
January have all the builds in place and we can
operate under a budget for the first time in thirty years.
Or of course.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
That I mean that those words even came out of
your mouth, sir, it's just mind blowing. I mean, is
that like your fundamental basic job description as a representative
to do the twelve Appropriations Bill annually? You know it's
coming every year. It's the same thing, and for thirty years. Nope,
we didn't get it done. Omnibus.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I couldn't. Yeah, absolutely, I couldn't agree more of it.
You know, it's one of those things that once you
get away with it, once I think the folks see, oh,
I don't really have to live up to that responsibility.
Well then let's see how long I can get away
with it. And it's a shame how long the Congress
has succeeded in getting away with it. But as I said,
there is a real push to get it done on
(08:55):
the House side, and I know that the Senate shares that,
so I'm optimate.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Good. I appreciate your optimism.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Now let's pivot over to the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act.
I guess it's a ka Connor's Law. What's this all about, Congressman.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Well, actually those are two different ones. Connor Law is
the law that requires DL drivers to speak and read
English proficiently. But we can talk. We can talk about
that either later and another visit the Child Interstate Abortion
Notification Act. The main message there is no one should
be taking children across state lines to receive secret abortions
(09:33):
behind the backs of that child's parents. It protects both
children and it upholds printal rights and it doesn't impose uh,
your you're a fine lawyer before you became a fine
radio host, and you know the full faith and credit
under the Constitution is sort of the basis of this
this law. If you take an underage girl who's pregnant
(10:00):
a way to say Illinois for an abortion, to try
to get it without notification of the parent just requires
Illinois to give full faith and credit to Ohio's law
and notify the parents of that child. It doesn't affect
the laws of the states that don't have parental notification requirements.
I think every state should. But states are states, and
(10:21):
they have the right to ask the laws they choose.
The California, New York, Illinois states like that. If they
choose not to, those laws are still respected. But we
expect the laws and in states with some common sense
to be respected to.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
So you have you looked at this.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
You know, my lawyer of brains kicking in, but never
a constitutional lawyer. I but a freedom of travel. I
just I'm anticipating some sort of constitutional challenge to this,
this this concept.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I imagine there will be all kinds of challenges to it.
But you know, this is one of those one of
those issues that no change whatever, go and challenge. But
I don't I think it constitutionally, I think you're The
full faith and credit argument would be the biggest argument
(11:10):
on the side of the passage. As far as the
support goes, that pulls at about seventy percent. So even
quite a few Democrats recognize that children shouldn't be getting
serious medical procedures done without their parents involvement. And we
see taking a tattoo, so maybe you shouldn't be able
(11:32):
to get a risky printal or a risky medical procedure done,
and with the absolute you know, onslaught of child sex
trafficking that we suffered under over the last four years.
This is going on all over the place, So we
need to get busy protecting our children.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I share your perspective on that, although I can perceive
that some people out there clutching their pearls over Oh
my god, well what about young people who are in
families whose homes an approvable abortion, or are oppressive or
mean or otherwise in an abusive situation. We can't have
our children being forced to consult their parents in those times.
But you know, I pivot over and thinking, you know,
if you're a child, a young person, an underage person,
(12:13):
and you're pregnant, that's probably the time when you need
your parents the most for comfort and support and for
assistance and making the appropriate choice guidance.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I mean, that's what parents are for, right.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
We've seen all kinds of pintal rights upheld of like
along those lines over the years. Parents are religious beliefs
that don't allow they don't think it's appropriate to receive
certain kinds of medical care denying that care to their children. Well,
that's been upheld the parents right exactly. They have dominion
(12:46):
over their children until they turn eighteen. This is no
different than that.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Amen to that.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Congressman David Saylor, again probably representing a house second district,
Keep up the great work, David. I look forward to
having you back on the program soon, and I'll keep
my fingers crossed and share your optimism about getting these
appropriations both done.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Always great, Brian, look forward to talking again.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Take care of my friend. I share your optimism and
looking forward to the other conversations in the future.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
A twenty five.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Right now, speaking in conversations, it's Thursday, and I know
we're having a somber day here and it is the
anniversary of nine to eleven. That's the first topic with
iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratliffe. Anniversary of nine to eleven? Question,
are we safer now than we were then? That and
several other topics. As always with Jay Ratliffe, I sure
hope you can stick around.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Fifty five KRC. Well, we started smartdour projects
Hey, twelve fifty five Parris de talk station communication breakdown.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
