  Speaker 1: Columbus gas prices. This is something because I was on
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the WSY six siting. As a matter of fact, Columbus
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: gas prices rise nearly ten cents in a week, reaching
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: three zero three a gallon. That's the headline on this story. Now,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: have you ever noticed that, as soon as a story
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: comes out about gas prices, whatever the story is, the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: opposite is actually happening. Yeah, because it fluctuates quickly quickly.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Now I noticed today on my beloved West Side that
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: was eighty nine, which is still too much, but still
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: it's better than what it was just a few days ago.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: As soon as somebody puts a story out there that
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: says Columbus gas prices are down twenty cents a gallon,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: you'll go to the pump and it'll be forty cents
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a gallon higher. That's just the way this beast works now. Fortunately,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: well not so fortunately, because you have to spend a
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: lot in order to get the points off. But I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: had the the what do you call it, the boost
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: car the crower. Yeah, and so I filled the family
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: van yesterday for buck thirteen.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Nice I had ninety cents off.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: It was I was like, yeah, yeah, which was that
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: was that was nice and it felt so normal, right
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to fill up at that or no, it's two thirteen.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry because the pump price was three thirteen, so
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I got two thirteen, but it just you know, it
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: was still I think thirty six thirty seven dollars to
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: fill the tank. That's a wonderful thing. I think more
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: that's coming, I really do. Because I mentioned was it
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Thursday when I came in here all enthusiastic or Friday
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: about all the traffic and all the people out, and yeah, Friday, okay,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: so all those people are out stimulating the academy, buying stuff,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: dining out. I mean the traffic was heavy in the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: middle of the day at like eleven am noon stimulate.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: It was great to see that. Combine that with you
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: know today people fretting about oh no, a fifty year
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: or mortgage. That's crazy. It's no crazier than renting a
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: luxury vehicle or leasing a luxury vehicle. You can't afford
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to buy it, so you get the lease payment because
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: that's more affordable to you. You're never going to pay
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: off that car. It's a ninety thousand dollars car. You
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: want to drive it, you can't afford the payment to
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: buy it, but you're okay, make it the payment to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: lease it. So you lease it, and after that's done,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you'll lease something else because you've been driving that for
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: three years and you love that luxury, so you'll lease
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: something else luxury. You're always going to have that payment.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Same thing with the house, except the car is not
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: going to, you know, jump in value. The market value
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: of that car is not going to jump some you know,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Honda's out there hold value pretty well well, but they
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: don't appreciate in value your home. Your land most likely will,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: especially in the long term. So having you know, a
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: long term mortgage that lowers the payment nothing to fret about.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: If that's the decision you want to make to buy
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: more house for a smaller payment, you know, God blessed,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: move on. I hope to hear from you. Oh but
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: that and the builder that I was talking about doing
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the first year at just below one percent to get
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: people into their new build homes. I'm telling you this
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: is how it works. It's not about the government doing it.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: It's about the government getting out of the way and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: allowing us to do it. And if honestly, it kind
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: of does bug me. You wanted to people. Oh, you
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: just loved Trump, that's all it is. No, it's not
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: a matter of love. It's a matter of respecting the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: opinion and the jobs that I see getting done. One
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of the things he's not doing, and it does bother me.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: You know what it is, Zach. You know what I'm
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: gonna say. What campaign promise here that hasn't been kept yet? Drill, baby, drill,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to producing in this country again. If
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: that happens, all of the affiliated businesses will go through
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the roof. Not just the oil company, not just the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: natural gas companies. But you know what, every little town,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: a pipeline goes through, where the diners pop up, and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the grocery stores pop up, and the housing developments pop up.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: All those construction workers, all those people that lay the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: lines for the new utilities, all the property taxes to
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: get paid. This is how you do it. It's not
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: about one thing. Our economy is a circle. It's a
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: big circle. Everything is connected. It works positively, it works negatively.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: This is why I have continued to bang the anti
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: minimum wage drum, because the circle the circle, and if
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: it gets high on one side, it's got to get
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: high on the other side to balance out. And if
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: it gets high on those two sides, then the top
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and the bottom have to get higher to balance out.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: What do you think this is just quite like places
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: like Norway or Finland they don't have a minimum wage.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: They have extremely strong unions, yes, but they have no
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: minimum wage.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: And what do they have as far as a tax
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: burden goes.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I don't it's I mean it's much higher because they
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: have different things to deal with, like their healthcare systems different.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: The more you make, the more they'll take sure. Yeah, yeah,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I was just curious. And the unions and the unions
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: are part of that. The unions. Of course, the unions
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: are going to want you to make more money because
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the more you make, the more they take sure. When
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: we hear the especially unions come out in favor of
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: a higher minimum wage for non union employees. There are
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: union contracts that are based on the minimum wage. So
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: if the minimum wage in the state of Ohio is
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: fifteen dollars an hour, the contract for the union worker
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: says they've got to make minimum wage plus seventy percent
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: or something like that. So of course it benefits them
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that you're making minimum wage at you're a McDonald's job
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: when you're sixteen years old, because it raises what the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: people who are covered by that contract made. It's the circle.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: It's all connected. Yeah.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just curious, that's all.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I just I get frustrated that I guess people don't
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: see it. There's no way, there's no such thing as
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: a corporate tax. Understand that when all these people like
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Mandanie talk about we're going to raise the corporate tax
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: in New York City from seven point five to eleven
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: point five percent, this is how he's going to pay
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: for stuff. Kathy Hochol has already said she's not backing
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: on the plan to make free buses in New York City.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: That was a big part of his campaign, free transportation.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: So the governor of New York's already said no, we
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: can't do that. We don't have the resources. We're going
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to raw rab Rossis boomba to get him elected while
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: he's saying this crap full well knowing there's no possible
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: way we can ever allow it to happen, which is
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: what she did. It can't happen because there's no money
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to make it happen. Where do you get the money. Well,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you have to tax people, but we'll tax the corporations first.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: What happens when you tax the corporations, they pay their
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: employees less, they charge you more for their stuff. This
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: is how they balance their sheet. The circle has to balance.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: So now people are making less money because the people
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: paying them have less money to pay them. And the
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: people who are buying their product, well, they don't buy
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: as much of the product because the product had to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: go up in cost. Well, now we don't need as
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: many people to sell stuff to you because you're not
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: buying the product because it costs too much. Now we
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: don't need to have that company making as much of
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that product because we're not selling as much of that product.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: So the company making the stuff they lay people off.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Those people aren't shopping at the local Walmart or Kroger
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: or whatever anymore because they don't have jobs anymore. You've
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: got to understand people, the government doesn't make it happen.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: We do, and I firmly have a big positive mindset
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: when it comes to what we are about to do.
