I I've seen that shirt a couple of times and
I got I gotta get one of those. I love it.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
This is an impulse buy off of Facebook.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Yeah, Reagan Bush eighty four was the first election I
actually voted in.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Yeah, oh, okay, so it was saw Ronald Reagan came
to my hometown area to do a campaign stop and
went to that yeahs Endicott, New York.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Back in it would have been you know, eighty four ish. Yeah,
and which way e J? Because Endicott Johnson Indycott Johnson
Shoes was.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Out of town there, and that was kind of what everybody,
all the immigrants, would say, which way, e J?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
That's it? That was the question. That was the question.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
That's it, that's it, That was it? Which way? You
quite familiar and started there too?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Are you familiar with that reference?

Speaker 2 (00:57):
I am not me either.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
Something today I went into Cott Johnson's Shoes. I would
wear those shoes just because of the name. They could
be hideously ugly, very unattractive to my eyes, into the
feel on my feet the name into COOTT Johnson's shoes.
I want them.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
I've never seen him.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Well, it might have been enough State New York thing.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Did they was it? Did you see the shoes? Have
you seen them?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
We used to have.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
EJ's was a shop up there as well, so you
could go into any mall and you'd go to EJ's.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
That was the actual name of the store.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Well any Kot Johnson's. We just shortened it to EJS.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
Oh, okay, I'm looking at listening, well I am, but
at the same time, i'm what's called multitasking since since
the guy on the the other guy on the air
with me is just sitting there.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Because I was listening to the guy who's telling this
to me too but very important, and he has a
cool T shirt. I'm not going to ignore.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Him, no, no, But I also was at multitasking, trying
to figure out what these shoes look.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Like, stress shoes, things like that.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Did you pulled them up? Yeah? And I don't want
to turn this. I don't want to turn this around
the screen. I'm afraid, Yeah, I'm afraid it'll disconnect and
then it'll go dark, and then you know, the power
supply will PLoP out of it or something. But look
at those. Those look like Ronald McDonald almost like high
top bowling shoes. Well those vintage, they're vintage. Is that

(02:18):
what's okay? All right?

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Well, well now i'm looking. I'm scrolling down here. They
got some they got some nice bowling shoes.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, I don't know, there was a there was a yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Man, they got your saddle shoes, your basic saddle shoe collection.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Mm hmm, well I still order them. Why.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Former employees say there will never be another Indicot Johnson
shoe company. That must have been a good place to work.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Well it probably they'll never be another one because they're ugly.
And people said, well that's enough nice, that's all I
can think. I'm looking right at them, going, some of.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
The Indicotts may live here in Central listening. Well now,
and you're hurting their feelings.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Well, I'm sorry, your shoes are ugly.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
I'm sure you're a nice But now you're not hurting
anybody's feelings.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
Night.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
I'm sure they're nice people, the Johnson's, I don't even
know who. I'm sure they're getting coots that are nice.
I'm sure they're nice people. I'm sure they are.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
And if you're from upstate New York, you don't say Endicott,
you say Dycott.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
I'm sorry, I see obviously indycott. I don't know how
I overlooked that detail.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
You say, e J? Actually which way? EJ? Yeah. The
House trying to get the vote on the big beautiful
bill to the floor. It's stalling right now. There are
some I guess, some holdouts. I don't have the names
of any of the holdouts. I was trying to figure
this out. But they said Trump invited some of those

(03:43):
people to the White House this morning. Oh, so they
got a talking to Daddy bro Daddy. Remember he was
called Daddy by Rubio's in the background cracking up. I
don't know, did you see that?

Speaker 2 (03:54):
I did not see that.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
That was the greatest. It was great. And so yeah,
I guess he invited some of the White House and
there was an Oval office meeting I guess this morning,
and Daddy's laying down the law. I suppose, but I
don't know. It didn't look there were no There were
nine no votes when I was watching it earlier, so
it was like two eleven yay, and two twelve nay,

(04:17):
but then nine no votes and so that was the first.
They haven't got to the floor yet.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Nine vote. Nine people who have not voted at all.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Well, they're just no votes, like they just are holding out,
holding out right now. They didn't vote yet. Again, they
didn't get it and haven't got it to the floor yet.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Here's my here's is it? Is it really one big,
beautiful billy. I don't know about beautiful because I mean
there are some real concerns with it. However, I will
tell you this, if it does not pass, it'll be
the largest tax hike in history, and the economy you
can just say goodbye.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
All right, it's gonna be some real problems. I think
it will.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Well, you listen to any talking heads, you listened to
any of you know, we had Balderson on yesterday, obviously,
Congressman Jordan was on with this Monday. I think Mike Carrey,
Congressman Carry was on with Mike Elliott Moore Columbus Morning
News this morning. And you look, as a matter of fact,
the dish rag had like the layout of all of
the national people at all of the federal people, I

(05:16):
should say, and and Warren Davidson was the only question
mark in Ohio. Now they were talking about the Ohio
on right.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
But he well he's been he's yes, yes.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
He has so, so that's no surprise. And I don't
know which way he's gonna go, but he's holding out
for this is adding too much to the deficit.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
But there's nothing perfect about this. There is not gonna
have You can start. This is a good place to start.
You have to be pragmatic about it, you really do.
You just pass it, get that tax cut, you know codified,
it's into law. You don't have to worry about that,
and you know then then you're gonna have to reshape

(05:57):
some things as you move forward.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Did you see that? You know what Elon's saying. He's like,
he's gonna help like primary some of these people. And
I'm just like, this guy's lost it. Man, he's gone
off the rails a little bit.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
But he's always been a little bit.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Sure, eccentric, yeah, crazy, a little bit like he's smart.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
He's a smart guy, no doubt about it.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Just doesn't know politics.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
That's the thing again, you're trying for perfection, and there
is no such thing as perfection.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
I have a problem with a third party system.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
You know, to me, right now, we're with a third
party because you want to see gridlock with three parties,
three big parties.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
You think we got that now?

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Man, that's a great point. Had a third party in there,
the Douglas Party, Douglas Party.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
A third party is viable with a candidate like everything else,
Oka showed us. It can be done. But you need
someone who is magnetic to people, who is either so intelligent,
so loving, or just so weird you cannot not pay
attention to. But he's also also kind of dead pan.

(07:08):
He's smart, yes, he's he does not have the enthusias.
The beauty of Parole was he was almost a comic strip.
Yeah okay, and when he got on National Man.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
How to let's get down the brass tags.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
First thing you all got to realize is America is
a pie and people what this man's crazy.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
But then they couldn't stop listening to it.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah yeah, But but magaan McCoy's to his point with
the gridlock that we have with two parties.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah, but presidential politics, it's one thing to have a
third party. Yeah, I mean that makes sense, okay, but
if you actually had a three party system in Congress.
That's where the gridlock would said, and it would take
a while to develop that. Now, I will tell you
that that, you know, the way that Democratic Party is moving,
or the Democrat Party is moving.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
There may be.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
A need for somebody to come in and be a
little more reasonable and kind of kick them to the
curb and maybe take back.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Over that you mean on the hills some mom, donnie.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
They can say democratic, socialist or whatever they want to
say all they.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Want, and that's what they're doing.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
They're exactly we will have socialist socialist candidates running. The
Democrats are filtering them in right now under that term democrat.
It's a spoonful at a time until you've eaten the
whole thing.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Right, But don't you think that leaves room for because
the difference between a socialist and a Republican is so
or a socialist and a conservative is so far apart, right,
don't you think there's room for more moderate, more sane
democrat you know candidates.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, they're and they're there. They feel that way too.
They exist. They just got to speak up and that's
exactly it. Who are they exactly? Well, because it seems
like you just kind of look around ago the ones
kind of being silent. Ah that one and oh that one.
Not really. Ah, they're there. They're probably a little more
of the central the interest the more middle, because you know,

(09:03):
when you have some if they run a bunch of
these mom donnie's up the flagpole here, I feel like
it's going to be really really good for us. I agree,
because what just happened. We just watched at a national
level what happened in November, and people are just turned
off by that, and they are trying, like hell right now,
the Democrats in the legacy media to tell you that, oh,

(09:24):
everyone doesn't want what's happening right now with President Trump,
nobody wants this, and people who voted for him they're
having buyer's remorse. And so now you know, you have
this mom Donnie person and all of the anybody who's
like minded with him. They're trying to make that like
this is going to be the thing that catapults the
Democrats finally back into power. I'm like, what, Yeah, it

(09:47):
seems so crazy. Dah, that's like far right for us.
You get far right's not gonna win either.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
No, Well, the hubris that among people nowadays to say,
you know, oh, socialism just hasn't been done the right way.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
You know, if we do it, we'll do it the
right way. Yeah, good luck with that. Yeah, human nature. Sorry,
I'm they'll eat their own eventually.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
Those like AOC are not gonna let what's his face
on dobby? He won't rise because he can overtake her.
Sanders already has. He does not like AOC because she
is out shining him, and he's an old man and
he knows it. He lost his chance. She's coming about.
He's upset, he's jealous. I don't care what he says
in interviews. They don't they it's there's this personal arrogance

(10:38):
that I'm the one. I have to be the one,
and if it's not me, I can't let you be
something and I that'll take care of itself, it really will.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
The best thing about AOC and her ILK is they
write campaign commercials for their opposition every day.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, we have a bunch of footage right now, like
real time. Yeah, every day. Yea. The lay which I
thought was hilarious, and turns out her it was either
her name or nickname was Sandy in high school and
so she's talking about how she's from the Bronx. She's
a Bronx girl, she was born there, but then as

(11:14):
an hour outside of the city is where she actually
has been raised. So it's it's just this uh, this
charade that they can do. It's crazy to me.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Democratic Party.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
She's not Jenny from the block, She's Sandy from Westchester.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
That's it, Westchester. I couldn't remember where.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
It's funny and everything I'm reading when we hear the
only Republican named Holy is Massy.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
They're completely not naming anybody in any of this coverage
as far as the holdouts go.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
So, okay, I'm not crazy exactly. Yeah, he's one of
those holdouts. And then you know Senator Tillis, who I
think that caught some people off guard where he just started,
you know, it was like no, no, no, I'm a
no no no, and I'm not going to rerun. I'm
not going to run again, And so I think that
caught some people off guard. You know. I asked Congressman

(12:09):
Jordan about it. I was like, hey, you know, can
you And it was just kind of a middle of
the road answer, kind of a kind of a stock answer.
Because I I wanted to hear maybe something a little
inside or something along those lines. But no avail.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Representative Warren Davidson, Republican ed O, Ohio, also signaling immovable
no vote.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, I'm disappointed by the way Dayton. Which district?

Speaker 4 (12:38):
He is?

Speaker 1 (12:39):
He ha, gone it?

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Watch it be northwestern Delaware County.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
No, no, no, I I was, I was. I was
just reading that tag. Gone it, I'll get it.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
All right, this is what Google's made for. This is
this is good radio right here, live on the air.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Can you imagine how we did this before the Internet.
Well we just made stuff.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Well that's true. Yeah, eighth Congressional District, oh eighth. And
as far as that I know less than I knew.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
I mean I know a number. I don't even know
where that is.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Where is the let's ask he.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Lives in Troy, Ohio.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Okay, so it is north of north of Dayton in
that way. That's kind of thought.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
So yeah, I don't as far as the map goes,
I couldn't show you exactly where I know where it is.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
But if he lived in Troy, I know where that is.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Do you want to go buy the house after the
show we can go have a talk with him.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Warren.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah, I got red white and boom tomorrow. That's true.
I need rest.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
There's what he looks like. In case you guys didn't.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
That's kind of an elon forehead.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Didn't he does?

Speaker 4 (13:43):
He?

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (13:43):
I think so.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Well.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Look, I understand where people are why they would say no,
I understand what they're saying their argument, But I just
think there's uh they just need to be more pragmatic
about their approach. M Well, take your victory where you
can and then go back for more.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
That's good. I like that, and I feel I don't
know that it'll get done by the fourth of July,
which the president is demanding that it's you know, they
get they get this on his desk.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
But he also indicated some willingness to go beyd.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Right well, and and he's not gonna have a choice
if they can't get this thing worked out yet.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
Correct the art of the deal man, if they were
able to flip Murkowski anything as possible.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
I saw that.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
I was at point.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
I was in shock. Did you see her being questioned
out in the hallway and she was staring a hole
through that guy?

Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (14:30):
And I was like, get him. I think he was
of the ABC ABC National News and it was somebody
asking her and she's just staring at Did you happen
to see that footage? Yeah? He asked her about, you
know something a little bit as they do Snyder, you know,
and she's just staring at him.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
How much money is the government going to spend in Alaska.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Now or is it? Yeah, something along those lines. That
was a gotcha and she's just staring at him. It
was great. And then I thought, man, I can't believe
she's is she really coming down on the she's like
and then she goes on to say, I don't I
don't like anything mostly about this, but she knows that
it's for the good, is why she was so Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Plus they paved her driveway.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah. That always helps too, because if you had your driveway,
it's expense. Oh yeah, and I you know
