Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: At six Here fifty about KRC Detalk station. Happy Friday Eve.
- 0:05Speaker 1: Brian Thomas right here hosting the Think About Carsee Morning Show.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Always pleased to see this man on the Rundown Congressman
- 0:10Speaker 1: David Taylor, Welcome back to the morning show. I appreciate
- 0:13Speaker 1: you willingness to talk with my listeners and me.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Thanks for having me again, Brian. Good to be with you.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Always a pleasure. Well, I got this shutdown avert, at
- 0:21Speaker 1: least for a while. I guess five of the spending
- 0:23Speaker 1: bills got put through. They held off in an apartment
- 0:25Speaker 1: of homeland security funding because oh, I don't know, evil
- 0:28Speaker 1: Ice or whatever. Continuing resolution I guess kicks the can
- 0:32Speaker 1: down the road for Is it two weeks to talk
- 0:33Speaker 1: about this and hammer out the details, David?
- 0:37Speaker 2: It was the day it was passed in the Senate,
- 0:39Speaker 2: but some of those days have now passed, so it's
- 0:41Speaker 2: an even shorter runway, all right.
- 0:43Speaker 1: So my understanding is the Democrats claim that they want
- 0:48Speaker 1: ICE agents to be prohibited from wearing masks, They want
- 0:51Speaker 1: ICE agents to wear cameras, and I guess they want
- 0:54Speaker 1: some uniform standard of how law enforcement and engagement and
- 0:58Speaker 1: law enforcement as well as the eradicated of these open sweeps.
- 1:01Speaker 1: What have those happened to be?
- 1:03Speaker 2: Is that really? It? Is it?
- 1:04Speaker 1: I mean, if you hammer those out, are we done
- 1:06Speaker 1: with DHS funding or are they going to ask for more?
- 1:09Speaker 2: What is it?
- 1:10Speaker 1: Which direction is this going to go to? The best?
- 1:11Speaker 1: You can see it coming forward with your Congressman Davidson,
- 1:14Speaker 1: I mean, Taylor, sorry that.
- 1:19Speaker 2: I've been called way worse things than I know. I
- 1:21Speaker 2: just Congressman Davidson, he's a good man. They did come
- 1:29Speaker 2: out with a list of ten demands you may have
- 1:31Speaker 2: already seen it to agree to a DHS bill, And
- 1:37Speaker 2: you'll notice that, as you mentioned, two of the top
- 1:39Speaker 2: three are designed to further endanger ICE agents, demanding that
- 1:44Speaker 2: they not be able to wear a masks that they have.
- 1:46Speaker 2: There was a full identification visible to the people in
- 1:50Speaker 2: the streets who are already threatening them with violence all
- 1:53Speaker 2: the time. So a lot of the lists are basically
- 1:56Speaker 2: non starters. And what what maybe the most puzzling, Brian,
- 2:00Speaker 2: is some of the things that the Chuck schumerant was
- 2:05Speaker 2: asking for. There's money in the in the in the
- 2:10Speaker 2: bill that they refuse to pass for for body cameras,
- 2:13Speaker 2: which you know we want body cameras for them. The
- 2:16Speaker 2: ICE agents want body cameras. There's actually well, operating under
- 2:21Speaker 2: the continuing resolution that we're under now, ICE gets six
- 2:25Speaker 2: hundred million dollars more than they will receive if we
- 2:28Speaker 2: pass the bill. Uh, So that doesn't make much sense
- 2:31Speaker 2: to me either. And there's also d they're worried about
- 2:36Speaker 2: the ICE agents maybe being heavy handed. Well, there's money
- 2:39Speaker 2: for further de escalation training in the bill that's not
- 2:43Speaker 2: in the continuing resolution, but they won't vote for the bill.
- 2:46Speaker 2: So their motives are are certainly not as they're as
- 2:52Speaker 2: they're portrayed in the media. Their their motives are to
- 2:54Speaker 2: protect the illegal immigrants they work so hard over the
- 2:58Speaker 2: Biden administration years to import.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Well, ironing out those problems is one thing is is
- 3:03Speaker 1: this Are you approaching this or is Congress approaching this?
- 3:08Speaker 1: DHS funding sort of is like a whole brand new
- 3:11Speaker 1: time to start over. And in other words, can we
- 3:13Speaker 1: add amendments? Could for example, we add the Save Act
- 3:16Speaker 1: into the DHS funding and get that passed. That enjoys
- 3:19Speaker 1: widespread support. I don't care what Chucky Schumer says that
- 3:22Speaker 1: this is Jim Crow two point oh. I think that
- 3:24Speaker 1: is an offensive determination, and I think it's an insult
- 3:26Speaker 1: to all people of color and any minority they claim
- 3:29Speaker 1: are incapable of getting a driver's license even though they
- 3:32Speaker 1: do it every single day in order to engage in
- 3:34Speaker 1: regular commerce and industry in this country, because you need
- 3:36Speaker 1: a photo ID to do it.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Ah.
- 3:38Speaker 1: Sorry, David Taylor, but is it possible to get that
- 3:41Speaker 1: put in there or would that be like they would
- 3:43Speaker 1: be a non starter.
- 3:46Speaker 2: It looks like it's a non starter what the Speaker
- 3:49Speaker 2: said today and what Leader Soon has said. On the
- 3:52Speaker 2: Senate side of the negotiation is currently going on between
- 3:55Speaker 2: Senate Democrats and the White House. The White House wants
- 3:59Speaker 2: this as they don't want anything. They want as little
- 4:03Speaker 2: changed about it as possible, or the Democrats have their
- 4:05Speaker 2: list of demands, most of which are you know, far
- 4:08Speaker 2: fetched and never happening. Whether their goal is just to
- 4:12Speaker 2: hold things up again like they did last time or
- 4:15Speaker 2: to or what their their actually expected outcome is, It's
- 4:20Speaker 2: hard to say, but I think they're putting it in
- 4:24Speaker 2: the President's hands for the moment to try to get
- 4:26Speaker 2: the DHS bill, and I think the Save Act, as
- 4:29Speaker 2: popular as it is, is going to have to go
- 4:31Speaker 2: with a different lative legislative package or get presented on
- 4:35Speaker 2: its own at some point. But like you said, I mean,
- 4:38Speaker 2: even on the Democrats side, the when you pull the
- 4:41Speaker 2: public it's well over seventy percent. It's kind of like
- 4:44Speaker 2: term limits. If you just had a national referendum on
- 4:47Speaker 2: those two issues, they'd both be done a long time ago. Yeah.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Well, and that's the that's the insanity I don't understand.
- 4:53Speaker 1: I mean, everyone seems to be broadly in favor of it,
- 4:58Speaker 1: and it is insulting to tell a person of color
- 5:00Speaker 1: that we don't think you're smart enough to go do this.
- 5:03Speaker 1: I mean, it's just any hope that it is advanced
- 5:07Speaker 1: as an independent bill. I mean, I know that's you know,
- 5:10Speaker 1: that's a strategy discussion. You got to deal with the
- 5:12Speaker 1: Speaker of the House on advancing it. But what's the
- 5:14Speaker 1: hold up. I suppose the American people might want to know, Congressman.
- 5:18Speaker 2: They rightly should want to know that. I'm hopeful that
- 5:21Speaker 2: it is attached to the next must pass legislation that
- 5:25Speaker 2: we're we're presented with, And for my money, this would
- 5:28Speaker 2: have been a great time to do it. I'm not
- 5:30Speaker 2: the president, I'm not the Speaker of the House. I
- 5:33Speaker 2: think most people in the House on the Republican side
- 5:38Speaker 2: absolutely want to. You're hearing from more and more members
- 5:40Speaker 2: speak get up saying this has to happen. It's only
- 5:43Speaker 2: right where the only you know, industrialized nation that doesn't
- 5:47Speaker 2: require idea to vote. But when when Democrats electoral chances
- 5:53Speaker 2: are tied to illegals to the degree they are, they're
- 5:57Speaker 2: never going to support that. So it's going to be
- 6:00Speaker 2: have to be done the hard.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Way, right, Okay, And I hear and I hear people
- 6:03Speaker 1: say that all the time. Now, state law, maybe I
- 6:06Speaker 1: don't know, doesn't apply. Maybe illegal immigrants can vote on
- 6:09Speaker 1: state issues, perhaps, but it is not lawful for someone
- 6:13Speaker 1: who is not a US citizen to be voting in
- 6:16Speaker 1: a federal election, right, Congressman Taylor.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Absolutely right.
- 6:22Speaker 1: So that's the law of that, that's right, that's the
- 6:27Speaker 1: law in the books. So in order to be able
- 6:29Speaker 1: to enforce that and prevent illegal immigrants from voting in
- 6:33Speaker 1: federal elections, asking for a citizenship of verification seems to
- 6:39Speaker 1: be consistent with the state of federal law.
- 6:43Speaker 2: I agree completely with. Each state has a sort of
- 6:47Speaker 2: sovereignty over the election process in their state, and it's
- 6:50Speaker 2: a little dicey where that line starts and ends when
- 6:53Speaker 2: it comes to your federal elections in California right now,
- 6:57Speaker 2: the law is that the person at the poll asked
- 6:59Speaker 2: the voter for for identifications they may be in llegal trouble,
- 7:04Speaker 2: but not the person who's voting, who probably isn't properly well.
- 7:09Speaker 1: And I suppose that's the only vehicle by which an
- 7:12Speaker 1: illegal immigrant could vote or have a sway over a
- 7:15Speaker 1: federal election. If state of law allows illegal immigrants to
- 7:18Speaker 1: vote on state issues, but it's a state and federal ballot,
- 7:22Speaker 1: then seems to me that's an opportunity for an illegal
- 7:25Speaker 1: immigrant to vote on federal matters.
- 7:28Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, and most of the Blue states want that.
- 7:31Speaker 2: You'll you'll know.
- 7:32Speaker 1: That's the full circle, right that. I mean, just really
- 7:35Speaker 1: solidifying where I am on this, because it shouldn't the
- 7:38Speaker 1: presence of illegal immigrants, whether they're desired in any given
- 7:41Speaker 1: community or not, should not have any effect whatsoever on
- 7:44Speaker 1: a federal election outcome period. That's just they shouldn't be
- 7:47Speaker 1: voting on any of those topics, right.
- 7:50Speaker 2: And honestly, Brian, they are voting because they're getting registered
- 7:54Speaker 2: when they give them driver's licenses but even if they
- 7:57Speaker 2: were not voting, they're still impacting, you know, federal elections
- 8:00Speaker 2: because they're in Blue states and they're creating a representation
- 8:04Speaker 2: that those Blue states shouldn't have because of the Census
- 8:06Speaker 2: Council and citizens. So they're they're absolutely vital. People are
- 8:10Speaker 2: absolutely fleeing Blue states states. So the only way to
- 8:14Speaker 2: keep their electoral chances and their their power in Congress
- 8:18Speaker 2: alive is to bring in and retain the illegal aliens.
- 8:23Speaker 2: And that's why you're seeing all the fraud in the
- 8:25Speaker 2: Blue states because giving them access with no consequences to
- 8:29Speaker 2: all our safety net programs is a tremendous recruiting tool.
- 8:33Speaker 2: You're folks to come to your state.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Well, considering everybody with a job. Congressman Taylor has flood
- 8:38Speaker 1: states like California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois and gone
- 8:41Speaker 1: to places where life is easier and regulatory burdens are
- 8:44Speaker 1: smaller and taxes are lower. They're having a real battle
- 8:47Speaker 1: competing with the illegal immigrants coming in to even replace
- 8:51Speaker 1: the population of people that left. Why they're bad that
- 8:56Speaker 1: the shut down.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Absolutely true, and the twenty thirty census is going to
- 9:02Speaker 2: bear that out. Actually, the previous Census Board out, but
- 9:05Speaker 2: there were you know, honest mistakes made which favored blue
- 9:09Speaker 2: states over red states that led to excess representation for Democrats. Again.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Well, that twenty twenty five analysis that was just done
- 9:17Speaker 1: on the predictions for the twenty thirty again goes down.
- 9:19Speaker 1: It goes to the point being is boiled down. Democrats
- 9:22Speaker 1: are standing to lose a lot of seats in Congress
- 9:26Speaker 1: because of that population shift, and the Electoral College now
- 9:29Speaker 1: will favor the Republican Party regardless of how many illegal
- 9:32Speaker 1: imigrants they try to ship into their community. This seems
- 9:34Speaker 1: like a foregone conclusion. Pause will bring Congressman David Taylor back.
- 9:37Speaker 1: He'll explain what the Deporting Fraudsters Act is. Sounds like
- 9:41Speaker 1: it's a good idea, plus expanding broadband and appllation. More
- 9:45Speaker 1: with Congressman Taylor stick around fifty five the Talk Station
- 9:50Speaker 1: eight eighteen fifty five ker se the talk station I
- 9:53Speaker 1: Art media aviation expert Jay Ratlick coming to the bottom
- 9:55Speaker 1: of the eyre of the meantime. One more segment here
- 9:57Speaker 1: with Congressman David Taylor pivoting over Deporting Fraudster's Act. Well,
- 10:04Speaker 1: inflation reduction acts sounded really good. On its face there,
- 10:06Speaker 1: Congressman Taylor, but it didn't work out that way. What
- 10:09Speaker 1: is the Deporting Fraudster's Act?
- 10:13Speaker 2: Fair enough, Brian, This one is just as it's described.
- 10:16Speaker 2: It's very simple, common sense bill. We actually submitted it
- 10:20Speaker 2: last March, though that I want to thank Chairman Jordan
- 10:24Speaker 2: for passing it out of the Judiciary Committee. It should
- 10:26Speaker 2: be coming to the floor very soon. I mentioned that
- 10:30Speaker 2: it was filed last March because in the hearing where
- 10:33Speaker 2: it was passed out of Judiciary Committee, the Democrats were
- 10:37Speaker 2: sales a knee jerk reaction to the fraud that we
- 10:41Speaker 2: discovered in Minnesota. But you know, we've known that fraud
- 10:43Speaker 2: has been going on for a long time. We're a
- 10:44Speaker 2: little stunned at the scope of it, I think. But basically,
- 10:49Speaker 2: the bill makes receiving any federal benefits from any of
- 10:53Speaker 2: our seeking that programs but an illegal alien a deportable offense.
- 10:57Speaker 2: And it also prevent people who are convicted of doing
- 11:00Speaker 2: so or who admit to having done so, from ever
- 11:03Speaker 2: being readmitted. So something that it's basically common sense and
- 11:07Speaker 2: something to shore to be on the books, but sadly
- 11:10Speaker 2: it's not so just you know, one of several bills
- 11:13Speaker 2: that are going through from the Republican side to sort
- 11:15Speaker 2: of closed loopholes that have existed for you know, forever, basically.
- 11:21Speaker 1: Well clearly, the level of fraud that's being revealed more
- 11:24Speaker 1: and more every single day is just outright appalling, and
- 11:28Speaker 1: there appears to be a it's just a it's an intentional,
- 11:34Speaker 1: you know, system that's been created here where these non
- 11:37Speaker 1: governmental organizations, the money that flows out, or maybe the
- 11:39Speaker 1: leering centers of Minneapolis are a vehicle or put money
- 11:42Speaker 1: back in the hands of politicians or political activists rather
- 11:46Speaker 1: than actually doing some good in the community, because there's
- 11:49Speaker 1: nobody following what has been done with the money. I
- 11:52Speaker 1: just talked with Todd Zinzer about this going on in
- 11:54Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati. Yeah, they gave money to non
- 11:57Speaker 1: governmental organizations, but no one knows what the hell was
- 11:59Speaker 1: do on with the money. I mean, this could literally
- 12:02Speaker 1: exist in any governmental entity, from the townships to the
- 12:06Speaker 1: state to the federal which is obviously what's going on
- 12:09Speaker 1: in Minneapolis.
- 12:11Speaker 2: Right and it's going on many other places too. I
- 12:14Speaker 2: think that we have they have some particularly unsophisticated leadership
- 12:18Speaker 2: in Minnesota that made it a little bit easier to
- 12:20Speaker 2: find it there. I think between walls and fry, got
- 12:25Speaker 2: some characters up there that maybe not quite as sneaky
- 12:27Speaker 2: as some in the New York but it's you know,
- 12:32Speaker 2: it all dovetails together with what we were talking about earlier.
- 12:35Speaker 2: The Democrats spent the four years under Biden bringing in
- 12:38Speaker 2: as many illegal aliens as they could, and they've spent
- 12:41Speaker 2: the last year plus absolutely going to the mattresses to
- 12:45Speaker 2: keep them here. Yeah. So and this is this is
- 12:47Speaker 2: as I mentioned earlier, this is a big recruiting tool.
- 12:50Speaker 2: If you can come in and we're not going to
- 12:52Speaker 2: look at the you know, if you're actually qualifying for
- 12:55Speaker 2: these programs, just signed here. And you know when this
- 12:58Speaker 2: as is this investigation, I don't think any of this
- 13:01Speaker 2: will be surprised to find out that if some of
- 13:03Speaker 2: those dollars go back to the pockets of the Democrat
- 13:06Speaker 2: leaders who are turning a blind eye.
- 13:07Speaker 1: To it, without question, well it's become its own industry.
- 13:11Speaker 1: You create a problem, you open the borders up, bring
- 13:13Speaker 1: every man, woman, and shout from the four corners of
- 13:15Speaker 1: the globe into the United States. It taxes the local resources.
- 13:18Speaker 1: We've got a problem on our hands here. I'm a
- 13:20Speaker 1: non governmental organization. I'm gonna help you deal with filling
- 13:23Speaker 1: the blank problem created by the open borders. Then they
- 13:26Speaker 1: got their hand in the cookie jar and becomes a
- 13:27Speaker 1: self fulfilling prophecy. They don't want to fix the problem,
- 13:30Speaker 1: they want it to continue so they can continue drawing
- 13:33Speaker 1: taxpayer money into their pockets.
- 13:36Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's been going on for a long time.
- 13:38Speaker 2: And with the essential shutdown of the USAID if the
- 13:43Speaker 2: other avenues of fraud are going to ramp up because
- 13:46Speaker 2: there are a lot of dollars going through there to
- 13:48Speaker 2: those very same projects you're talking about, and they have
- 13:52Speaker 2: to be have to be funded somehow, and they're going
- 13:54Speaker 2: to be on the taxpayers back.
- 13:56Speaker 1: All right, let's before we part company, David David Taylor
- 13:58Speaker 1: shining in a bright light the sunshine on this much
- 14:01Speaker 1: needed disinfecting here. Expanding broadband and appalasia. I've heard this
- 14:06Speaker 1: concept bandied abound a lot over the years because some
- 14:08Speaker 1: areas of the country don't have the benefit of any broadband.
- 14:11Speaker 1: What is this particular issue all about.
- 14:15Speaker 2: Yeah, Brian, this is something we talked about from the
- 14:17Speaker 2: day we started running basically for office. A big large
- 14:20Speaker 2: swath of the second District in Ohio and other rural
- 14:24Speaker 2: and Appalachian districts across the country don't have access to broadband.
- 14:30Speaker 2: We have sponsored three bills to try to help with that.
- 14:35Speaker 2: The biggest movement we've seen so far, and it's going
- 14:39Speaker 2: to be helpful in the near future, is that forty
- 14:42Speaker 2: two billion dollars that was allocated for the bad program
- 14:45Speaker 2: for rural connectivity that's been sitting there for so long.
- 14:49Speaker 2: It's because it was all dedicated just to fiber optic,
- 14:53Speaker 2: which fiber optic is great and I love it, but
- 14:55Speaker 2: it's very hard to get to and get that run
- 14:58Speaker 2: in parts of the second district. Making dollars usable on
- 15:02Speaker 2: other alternative sources of broadband, whether it's satellite or six wireless.
- 15:07Speaker 2: There's been big advances in six wireless. Too. Used to be,
- 15:11Speaker 2: you know, it was easily blocked and you had a
- 15:13Speaker 2: pretty clear line of sight to to use that effectively,
- 15:17Speaker 2: but that's not the case anymore. So bottom line is
- 15:19Speaker 2: we don't want to wait five more years for the
- 15:21Speaker 2: people of Appalachia to get connected to the modern economy.
- 15:25Speaker 2: We want to do it as quickly as possible. So
- 15:28Speaker 2: that's been great. And while we're on that topic, it's
- 15:31Speaker 2: important that I think Senator Houston for the work he
- 15:34Speaker 2: did for part of my district, a large chunk of
- 15:36Speaker 2: my district while he was still lieutenant governor. Who's and
- 15:40Speaker 2: he's continuing that work here. He's been being Cinera Marino,
- 15:45Speaker 2: been absolutely incredible out here.
- 15:47Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad to hear that. You know, the left
- 15:49Speaker 1: never really seems to care much about the rural poor,
- 15:52Speaker 1: because I suppose that's these evil flyover red states, So
- 15:56Speaker 1: screw them. They only care about urban poor. And there's
- 15:58Speaker 1: millions and millions of dollars flow that are provided to
- 16:01Speaker 1: urban governments and urban programs, and no one just seems
- 16:04Speaker 1: to care about those folks out and like say, rural
- 16:06Speaker 1: West Virginia for example, Congressman.
- 16:09Speaker 2: For sure, any of a big chunk of my district
- 16:12Speaker 2: borders on on West Virginia too, and they're in the
- 16:16Speaker 2: same situation we're in Kentucky as well, And it's an
- 16:20Speaker 2: out of sight, out of mind saying. And they're the
- 16:21Speaker 2: kind of people that don't complain. They were the kind
- 16:24Speaker 2: of people call them to make do, people that make
- 16:26Speaker 2: do with whatever they got, and they don't they don't complain.
- 16:29Speaker 2: But I'm going to complain for them a peerage to
- 16:32Speaker 2: try to get them least on.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Equal footing, understood, understood, and because it benefits those rural
- 16:37Speaker 1: poor that it's not going to benefit the Democrat Party.
- 16:40Speaker 1: So I have a feeling they'll be against it, even
- 16:41Speaker 1: though they could just sort of recharacterize it and they
- 16:44Speaker 1: would be all about providing this type of service to
- 16:46Speaker 1: the extent benefit of Democrat voters. Congressman David Taylor, it's
- 16:51Speaker 1: a real pleasure having you on. I appreciate your your again,
- 16:53Speaker 1: your willingness to show up and talk about these issues
- 16:55Speaker 1: very important to my listeners, and I'm glad to be
- 16:58Speaker 1: able to help you spread the word on it. Keep
- 17:00Speaker 1: up the great work on behalf of the American taxpayer.
- 17:02Speaker 2: My friend, thank you, great being with you and they
- 17:05Speaker 2: have a great day.
- 17:06Speaker 1: You do the same A twenty five. It's great him
- 17:08Speaker 1: and iHeart media aviation ext for Jay Ratliffe on.
- 17:10Speaker 2: He will
