Chuck Douglass in for a Blazer on six ten WU
TV and Roy Hall Junior in studio right now having
great conversation on the air, off the area because he's
just a pleasure as a human being to talk to
and all of the stuff that that he is involved in.
It Again, I will make sure that we get it
posted on the Facebook and Twitter when we get off
the air today, just because I want you to follow
(00:20):
and hopefully maybe even volunteer, you and me maybe delivering
backpacks together, you know, Roy Hall Junior's emissaries of school
supplies food though, bring food, Bring Roy a filet of fish.
And what's those extra hardest? The nasty candies you like?
I choose yes, sound like somebody's.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Original flavors, original flavor on the high chu side, nasty
nasty one. They're pretty good. It's the unwrapping of the
candy is what what makes them.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Just the utter wrapping. Because Mark brought some in one
time and there was this after a taste, it was
like first it was sweet, then it was fruity, and
then it was then it was tennis shoe. It just
something something was.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
About that sometimes just like it's bad batches everywhere brother,
it's a bad batch.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I've never had the tennis shoe after taste it was.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, it was pretty and dirty tennis shoes at that.
From Uh, I don't know if he's in Washington, d C.
Or if he's back home this week. It's hard keeping
track of those congressional people. But uh, congress from Jim
Jordan joining us right now in six ten w TV
and and uh uh Congressman, First of all, I hope
you had a wonderful Independence Day weekend and did something
productive and patriotic.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Same, Uh, you was a great weekend. And I've not
eaten anything that tastes like a tennis shoe. I know
that whether I'm in d C or Ohio. But I
happen to be in DC right now, but be coming
back tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
So a great fuck, I said Congressman. I began by saying,
I don't know where you are, whether you're home or
in DC or where, but uh, are you getting decent weather?
Were you able to enjoy you coming out of the
long weekend?
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Yeah, it was a great weekend back home, and uh
been on Champion County part of the district. And then
of course, uh, I flew and I just got into
d C. So I got a couple of things tonight
and a meetings tomorrow morning, and then I'm heading back
to Ohio tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
All right, Now, are these are these big giant meetings,
big announcements or just kind of routine day to day
type stuff, because I'm looking forward to some Uh, we
got the big beautiful bill passed, where I want the momentum. Now,
let's I want to start hearing stuff. What's coming up?
Speaker 4 (02:20):
You know.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
That's that's interesting because as I was out and about
this weekend, a number of people came up to me
thanking us for passing the you know, the big beautiful bill.
And I think they did that because they understand it's
the largest tax cut in American history, it's the largest
investment in maintaining the border security that that President Trump's
already accomplished, and it's work requirements, which is I think
(02:42):
something that sorely needed in our welfare system. And then
of course, also part of the tax provisions are the
school choice component that I think is is very helpful. So, uh,
we got a lot of compliments from from folks as
I was out and about in people on the fourth
of July, weekends.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
So many pages involved in that thing, and I have
not found yet. Maybe you can tell me. Do you know,
is there a any sort of corporate incentive because we've
got this work requirement now for people getting public assistance
of some kind, any sort of corporate incentive for employers
that give jobs to people that are getting some sort
of public assistance to help them make that twenty hour
a week requirement.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
There's no incentive per se. But the real incentive is
so many employers need workers need employees, and the idea
that you have an able bodied adult and nail so
say a thirty five year old guy getting medicaid not
having to do anything any work for it or any
volunteer activity for it. And remember there's only twenty hours
(03:39):
a week. So the idea is the left as this
is somehow going to kick people off and is terrible.
It's just not accurate. This is common sense, and as
President Trump says so often, we're the Party of common sense.
This is a common sense provision that I think will
help employers, it'll help taxpayers, treat them with the fairness
they deserve. But most importantly, it's good for the person
(04:00):
you and give them a better opportunity to get to
a better position in life.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You and I got a chance to talk a couple
of weeks ago about this. You know my speculation that
this is more than a budget bill. This is an
immigration bill, and I should we expect any big news
with Tom Holman with ICE now that this has passed.
The elimination of the illegal recipients, I think is intended
(04:24):
to balance out so that the people who are here
legally and are receiving these benefits don't have to say,
oh my gosh, I'm losing them because the people who
shouldn't be receiving them will no longer be receiving them.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Yeah, a good point. The what we did, particularly our committee,
the Registrate Committee, is we really focused on making sure
the resources are there so that Trump administration can keep
the border secure. And so we had money in there
for ten thousand more ICE agents, money for more immigration judges,
money for more detention space, money in there that came
(04:55):
from the Homeland Security Committee for building the wall. Well,
all the things that you need to maintain security of
our border are in this bill. And then we tried
to offset most of that by assessing certain fees for
people who use our immigration system and our immigration law
and are applying for visas and other things that happened there.
(05:17):
We figured that's a better way to pay for it
than charging the American taxpayer. So we think it's a
good for most of our state intact in the Senate,
and we think it's it's gonna be real helpful.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
This Congressman Jim Jordan, by the way, joining us right now,
let me ask you this because this came at me
kind of out of left field, the potential increased aid
to Ukraine. It was such a big grand stand moment
that Okay, we're giving them too much. And suddenly it
seems like perhaps that's back on the table because mister
Putin and his attacks don't seem to be relenting, and
(05:51):
mister Trump seems to think he's just going overboard and
it's not going to stop unless we get back involved.
How sure is that to happen?
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Well, I don't, I don't don't think that's where President
Trump's headed. I mean, we will see, But I certainly
have been one who's been opposed to the continual A
to Ukraine because in the end, no one can, no
one can tell me what the objective was when when
when it happened under Joe Biden. Was it to drive
Ukraine or excuse me, excuse me, drive Rushia back out
of what the eastern Ukraine? The Donbas region? Was it
(06:21):
to drive them out of Crimea? Something they've they've they've
held for eleven years now. They took under Obama. So
no one can ever define what victory looked like and
how are we going to get there? So I've been
opposed to additional aid. What I do think need to happens.
What President Trump and Vice President Dance have said is like,
let's get these folks at the table and get it solved.
Now that hadn't happened yet, but if anyone can do it,
I think President Trump can.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Is there a strategic importance to to Ukra? I mean
Crimea and Ukraine, but there are so many various stands
that used to be part of the old Soviet block.
I'm not sure what makes Ukraine such such a prize.
Is there something from the outside that we don't see
that makes them strategically very important to Russia?
Speaker 5 (07:03):
I just think they're they're, you know, part of Eastern Europe,
right next to NATO countries. There's been talk of you know,
Ukraine being a part of NATO. I don't think that's
where President Trump wants to go. But I think it's
just because of the proximity to you know, other Eastern
European countries which are now part of NATO. So to me,
that's that's the significance. But this has been one of
(07:24):
the most corrupt countries ever. I mean, just it just
we go clear back to when the Democrats use the
phone conversation between President Trump and twenty nineteen as the
basis for the impeachment. It was ridiculous, but you learned
about how how how expansive the corruption was in that country.
So I think there's a host of reasons why we
(07:45):
need to be careful here. And again, first and foremost
is no one can seem to define me what what's
winning and success all to me looked.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Like anything not making the headlines that we should be
looking forward to that will be uh great news, And
everybody up and down and singing songs.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
Well, we hope to get this recision package over the
finish line. It's past the house, it's down the center.
This was part of the Doge effort, and this is
further cuts to ridiculous you know, items that are like
NPR and incorporation from public broadcasting, get a bunch of
your tax money that that's part of it, and some
other things in USA, I d where they were funding
ridiculous projects all over the world. So we're hoping to
(08:23):
get that across the finish line sometime next week.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Congress and Jordan, this is a Roy Hall junior here.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I love the fact that you are a buck Eye
through and through.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
That makes me so happy.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I know you got to see some great teams in
the early nineties back there with the Buckeyes. One of
the things I love most about you is your social
media presence, your ability to kind of keep the audience
and the people of this great state in America just
up on some of the things that are going on.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
But what stands out to most is that most of me, I.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Love the motivation behind fighting to do what we said
as we sit and talk to the listeners right now
about the various things that they're confused about, have questions about,
but just in life in general, some people, a lot
of people are struggling with a lot of different things.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
It's not easy doing what you do.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
So I have so much respect for you how do
you keep fighting to do what you said you were
going to do when the circumstances keep changing, And like,
what would you offer as a way for people to
do that and implement their own lives.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Well, I don't pretend my job is any harder than
anyone else has. Everyone's got responsibility work to do. I
get the privilege of serving the folks in the fourts,
this or Ohio, and I think if you get that privilege,
it's only about twelve thousand Americans have ever had in
the history of the United States Congress, the history of
our country. It is truly a privilege. And so it
seems to me, if you have that privilege, you should
at least do what you told them you were going
(09:47):
to do when you put your name on the ballot
and you ran for the job. So I try to
do that. We all fall short, I'm sure from time
to time in life. But I try to have the
discipline to do what we told the voters we were
all about when we had the election. And certainly the
guy who does that I think is good or maybe
better than anyone we've ever seen is President Trump. He
(10:07):
said he would cut taxes and give us the largest
tax cut in history. We've done that now. He said
he would secure the border, he's done that. He said
he would get rid of this crazy idea of men
competing against women in sports, and that's happening as well.
And you can just go on and on all the
things that we said we would do, and I just
think it's it's sort of a fundamental thing that we
should focus on. If you're in you're in public office, Roy.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Hall Junior gets a job on CNN or something in
an hour you watch, Yeah, it'd be great, very thoughtful
question us, Carrison, Jim Jordan, as always you are. You
are so very much appreciated coming on and sharing some
time with us each week. I hope that next time
we talk it's about something unexpected and amazing that happens,
(10:50):
because I just I feel like the momentum and the
mindset are there now and it's like, okay, that was
the last hurdle. Let's roll.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Yeah, well said, all right for being with you guy,
Let me do it to take care.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Thank you, sir, take care of yourself and we'll talk
again next week. You that was a very pensive, thought
out question.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Man, just wanted to know, you know, listen, you serve
in public office, no matter what side you're on.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
It's tough. It's tough, man, it's hard.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
And he used the word serve and when you're serving
and involves sacrifice. But you know, just the just the
mindset of do what you said you were going to do.
And that's what real commitment is, doing what you said
you were going to do, even when the circumstances under
which you said it changes.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
That's one of those things that you know, it's and
it's an old school thought. Who was it Harry Truman's
say what you mean? You mean what you say? There?
Where it came from? I forget your That is this
sure like he looked it up. That should just be
not only politics, but that should be like life. And uh, yes, Virginia,
(11:57):
there was a time
Chuck Douglass in for a Blazer on six ten WU

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
