16
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: have to say, you guys are just tearing it up

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: on the social media pages. We have the number one

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: social media platform in the Mid South when it comes

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: to radio stations, and we actually compete with traffic with

20
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: the TV stations. So that's all because of you your

21
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: great comments, many if you are pretty darn funny. Many

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: of the things we can't even repeat on the radio.

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: But that's okay, all right, We've got to start here

24
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: with and by the way, we've got a great show.

25
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: Today is the opening of the General Assembly in Tennessee.

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: Here in Tennessee, in Nashville, hold on to your wallets,

27
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. Pamela Furr will be joining us live

28
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: from Nashville with the report. Also, Joe Garner from real

29
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: estate Morgan Shop will be here, and our Senate Majority

30
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: Leader Jenny Johnson is going to be phoning in just

31
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: in a few moments giving us an update on what's

32
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: happening there at the State House. In the meantime, there

33
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: is still a lot of fallout from what happened over

34
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: the weekend when you had this massive mob of gals

35
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: of girth, the purple haired, weathered women of the mid South.

36
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: They were out there blocking roads and causing all sorts

37
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: of mayhem. And now State Representative Justin Pearson is getting

38
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: his power frow involved in all of this, and the

39
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: Senator is now accusing the Tennessee Highway Patrol of basically

40
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: of attacking protesters that were that were out there blocking

41
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: law abiding drivers from getting to from point A to

42
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: point B. So a lot of people are upset about this.

43
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: The group Indivisible Memphis, which was behind the protest, they're

44
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: raising all sorts of kine about it, and they're alleging

45
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: that the Tennessee Highway Patrol actually used one of their uh,

46
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: one of their march marshals as a battering ram. So

47
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: I just have a couple of questions here and and

48
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: I'm curious and I want to hear from you as well.

49
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: Do you stand with the with the Tennessee Highway Patrol

50
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: or do you stand with this mob. I mean, you've

51
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: got one of two choices here. And mister Pearson is

52
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: saying that the ramming I want to read this year,

53
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: the ramming of a marshall and a peaceful protest in

54
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: Memphis by the Tennessee Highway Patrol is disturbing, dangerous, and troubling,

55
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 1: especially in these times. I've seen enough videos and heard

56
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: from enough attendees from the Ice Out March to believe

57
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: there needs to be an investigation done by the TBI

58
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: of the Tennessee Highway Patrols officers. So anyway, Justin Pearson

59
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: is going to be writing some sort of a nasty

60
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: letter to the TBI. I've seen the same videos, and

61
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: here's the deal. I mean, if you're going to run

62
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: out into the street and start slamming your fist into

63
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: a THHB cruiser, then sorry, you kind of get what's

64
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: coming at you at that point. I mean you're going

65
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: to be you're attacking law enforcement and you don't expect

66
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: them to respond. I don't understand that concept here. But

67
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: there's a broader issue. Number one, did this group have

68
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: a permit? Because in Tennessee, you don't need a permit

69
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: to protest, but you do need to permit if you're

70
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: going to march in a roadway or block off a roadway.

71
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: You also have to have insurance. You also have to

72
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: have blockades barriers so that cars can't enter. There are

73
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: a lot of things that you have to do. Did

74
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: this group do any of those things? And if they didn't, well,

75
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: every single one of them auto at least at the

76
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: very least based some sort of a ticket because they

77
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: obstructed roadways and caused a lot of problems out on

78
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: summer revenue over the weekend. You know the other issue here,

79
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: and this is just a life lesson. It's a pro tip.

80
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: By the way, the woman who was arrested did, in

81
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: fact have purple hair, So I'm not trying to no,

82
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm not stereotyped. I'm just telling you the woman was

83
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: weathered and had purple hair, and she tried to use

84
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: the bathroom on a law enforcement officer. That is not

85
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: normal behavior. So here's the deal, and this is a

86
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: pro tip. You can take it, you can leave it.

87
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: But that's what we do here is we offer advice

88
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: here on the body nine ninety if you don't want

89
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: to get hit by a THHP cruiser, don't run into

90
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: the middle of the road. That's just a pro tip

91
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,679
Speaker 1: for life. All right. Nine oh one two six zero

92
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: five nine two six your where do you stand on this?

93
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: Ladies and shuttleman? Do you stand with the THHP or

94
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: do you stand with the anti cop, pro criminal illegal

95
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: alien mob. Nine oh one two six zero five nine

96
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: two six our number. We're going to be taking your calls.

97
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: I do want to go right away to our Patriot

98
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: Mobile news maker line and say good morning to Senator

99
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: Jack Johnson. Senator, hope you're doing well today.

100
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: Hey, good morning ton, great to be with you.

101
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: Well it's a busy day for you, guys, and I

102
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: just want you to know we're sending our delegation to

103
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: you on I forty, so you're going to have to

104
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: deal with Senator Brent Taylor for the next little while.

105
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: Good luck to you.

106
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 2: Actually, I was actually with Senator Taylor last night and

107
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: we had a wonderful dinner with our Republican Caucus. And

108
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 2: as you know, Brent is a very, very highly respected

109
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: member of our body. He is doing wonderful things to

110
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 2: make Memphis matter. And I know he's got a long

111
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: list of things he wants to get accomplished for West Tennessee,

112
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 2: more specifically Memphis and Shelby County, and we're going.

113
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 3: To help him do it.

114
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: And of course, one of those big things for us

115
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: a senator, and I've got a list of things I

116
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: want to talk with you about, but it's the schools

117
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: and the school takeover. And we just had State Representative

118
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: Mark White and Senator Taylor on the show in studio

119
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: and they say they've sort of had a meeting of

120
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: the minds. Do you believe that we are this session

121
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: going to see the state step in and finally take

122
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: over the schools here in Memphis Shelby County.

123
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 2: I hope so, Todd. I am very supportive of that

124
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: effort and really really appreciate Senator Taylor and Representative White

125
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: sitting down working out There were some differences I think

126
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 2: in the approach between the House and the Senate versions

127
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: of the bill last year, and as our process works,

128
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: you've got to what I came on legislature. So we've

129
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 2: got to work those differences out, and Senat Taylor Representative

130
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 2: White have done so. And what I want your listeners

131
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 2: and many of them already understand this concept, you do

132
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: as well, Todd. You know, a school system is a

133
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: political subdivision of the state. It is created by an

134
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: accountable to the state. The Constitution of the State of

135
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: Tennessee gives sovereign power to the General Assembly to create

136
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: those types of political subdivisions because we believe in local control.

137
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: But it's that local entity is not doing the job

138
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: that it was created to do in an effective matter.

139
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: It's not only should we, it's our responsibility. We have

140
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: an obligation to step in and rectify things. And I

141
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: think we all agree that the menshis Chova County school

142
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: system is failing the kids.

143
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Seventy percent of the kids aren't

144
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: a reading level. That's it for me as a taxpayer.

145
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, we've got to do something about that, and

146
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm glad to see you guys doing it. And again,

147
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: even on the state level, you look at what's happening

148
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: in Congress right now. The House is doing all this

149
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: great legislation, and you know there's there's a backup in

150
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: the Senate. I think it's reverse here in Tennessee. But

151
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: we certainly appreciate you taking a ferocious interest in what's

152
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: happening here in West Tennessee, and especially with our schools,

153
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: because great schools mean a great community.

154
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: Senator, they absolutely do. I represent Williamson County and I

155
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: used the phrase frequently. We stand on the shoulders of giants,

156
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: and Williamson County has two school systems. They're among the

157
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: best in the state, best in the nation. And that's

158
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: because some folks long before I came around, back in

159
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: the seventies and eighties, mates and deliberate the deliberate decisions

160
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: to invest in and create a great school system. And

161
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: as a result, Williams and County is the wealthiest county.

162
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 2: And dare I say the most prosperous county in the state.

163
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: There's no reason every other county, including Shelby County, can't

164
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 2: do the same thing. But you've got to have that

165
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: solid foundation of a great school system.

166
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: Senator, let's talk. Let's talk at immigration, and of course

167
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: the Memphis State Task Force has really done some jaw

168
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: dropping work here. I think a lot of people were

169
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,599
Speaker 1: surprised at the number of illegals that were here in

170
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: West Tennessee. But this is a state wide problem, going

171
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: all the way back to when Joe Biden was flying

172
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: in illegals to the airport there in Chattanooga in the

173
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: dark of night, which was uncovered by I believe Senator

174
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: Bill Haggerty and his team originally.

175
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it absolutely is. And let me say this, you know,

176
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: in these few days leading up to the beginning of

177
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: our legislative session. You know, today at twelve noon, the

178
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 2: gavels will fall in the State House and the State

179
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: Senate and we will officially commence. But we have been

180
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 2: busy for the last several weeks getting ready. That's the

181
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 2: way it is every year, and a common theme of

182
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: most every conversation is the tremendous success we've seen in

183
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: Memphis and getting criminals off the street. And nothing makes

184
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: us happier than to be able to say that. And

185
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 2: a lot of reasons for that, but certainly we think

186
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: President Trump for having the and Governor Bill Lee for

187
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: having the intestional fortitude descend in those Guard troops, the TBI,

188
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 2: the FBI, all the folks that are making that work.

189
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 2: We have a once or a generation opportunity here under

190
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 2: the leadership of President Donald Trump, to attack this illegal

191
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: immigration issue. It's been something that that's been a problem

192
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 2: for decades and we just haven't had the leadership that

193
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: was willing to come in and seriously attack it. We

194
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 2: have that leadership now, and I'm proud to say that

195
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: Tennessee is not only welcoming those efforts from the federal government,

196
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: we are cooperating and doing everything we can to help

197
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 2: make them successful to get these violent illegal aliens off

198
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 2: of our streets.

199
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: We're sort of playing volleyball here, back and forth, or

200
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: ping pong or pickleball. We'll try to be culturally relevant here,

201
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: as Senator, let's go back to schools and school choice.

202
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: There is a new survey that just came out showing

203
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: that Tennessee Republicans actually want school choice. Where are we at.

204
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: What can we expect this legislative session.

205
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: Well, I'm very excited we've passed a universal school choice

206
00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: program back the last session in early twenty twenty five.

207
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 2: It has been a tremendous success. Todd. Do we create

208
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 2: a twenty thousand scholarships that can be used by families

209
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: all across Tennessee to pick a different educational alternative for

210
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: their child if they feel like the public school down

211
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 2: the street is not meeting their needs. And many of

212
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 2: those scholarships have been utilized by families in Shelby County

213
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: and it's been a tremendous success. We weren't sure what

214
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 2: the utilization rate would be. In the first twenty four

215
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: hours of the applications being available. Last year, Todd, there

216
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: were thirty eight thousand applications for twenty thousand scholarships. That

217
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: indicates the demand, the level of demand. And so the

218
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: conversation as we convene today for this legislative session is,

219
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: obviously we would like to expand that program, make it

220
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: available to more families, but we're a very ficily conservative state,

221
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: and if we're going to create those scholarships, we have

222
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: to pay for them. I don't think there's any question.

223
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: We'd like the survey you sided. We absolutely support pernel

224
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 2: choice in education and we want to expand that program,

225
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 2: but we're going to do so in a fiscal responsible

226
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 2: a manner and I think more to come on that

227
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: based on how a revenue situation looks.

228
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: Now that makes perfect It really does make perfect sense.

229
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: And again I think parents need to be able to

230
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: make those choices, and especially when you look at what's

231
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: happening here in here in West Tennessee with the school system.

232
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: Again getting back to the reality, we are paying for

233
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: something as taxpayers, and a lot of money we're paying

234
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: and we're just not We're not getting any bang for

235
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: the bok. I mean, that's you know, and when that

236
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: happens in private business, you fix what's broken.

237
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 2: You couldn't do more correct. And here's the thing, and

238
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: it's a great illustration of the conversation. We believe in

239
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 2: parental choice. If you think that the private Christian school

240
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: down the street would be a better fit for your child,

241
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 2: you should be able to choose that alternative. You should

242
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: be able to use the tax dollars that we would

243
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 2: otherwise than educate your child in the form of a

244
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: scholarship to send your child to the school you think

245
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 2: is best. The vast, vast majority of our kids thought

246
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: are going to go to the public school that they're

247
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 2: zoned for. And even with a Roade school choice program,

248
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: which we hope to have in Tennessee, that's still going

249
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: to be the case, which means we are still fully

250
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: committed to making our public schools the best that they

251
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: can be. And obviously they're in Shelby County. We've got

252
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: a serious problem with the school system and it's going

253
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: to be a top priority for us to figure out

254
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: how to fix that because every child, whether you're in

255
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: Shelby County, Williamson County, Sullivan County, and Upper East Tennessee

256
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. You should have access to a.

257
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: Great education before we let you go. Senator. In addition

258
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: to being a great lawmaker, you're also a great musician.

259
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: You're a good church going man. But in politics, the

260
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: messaging is the theology is do unto them before they

261
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: do it to you. And I want to ask you,

262
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: this is the first time I'm able to ask you

263
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: this question. We've got one Democrat congressional district. Is there

264
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: any thought to redistricting to give Republicans that edge that

265
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: we may need as a result of what's been happening

266
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: in places like California and Texas well.

267
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 2: As you know, there is litigation that is pending that

268
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 2: informs us on that decision and that process that has

269
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: been on the books for many, many years. We got

270
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: to see how that litigation plays out. If if that

271
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 2: long standing precedent relative to racial considerations, minority representation considerations,

272
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: if that case were to be overturned, or that legal

273
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 2: precedent to be overturned, then it would open the door

274
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: for us to take a look at that. We've got

275
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 2: a nine congressional districts and I'm proud to say that

276
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: eight of those nine are held by good, solid conservative Republicans.

277
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 2: I think Tennessee is doing its part to make sure

278
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: we have good representation at the federal level. But we've

279
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: got to wait and see what happens in the court.

280
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: And one final question, and this is ever in one

281
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: of our KM listeners, they just wrote this in I've

282
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: got about forty five seconds here talking about the school vouchers.

283
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: They're saying, will these vouchers be funding schools that are

284
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: teaching Sharia law. Can there be any sort of a

285
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: carve out.

286
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 2: Well, we do have a couple with schools that are

287
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 2: Muslim based on Muslim faith. We passed legislation several years

288
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: ago Todd to say that any school in the state

289
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: of Tennessee that is teaching Sharia law over American law

290
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: basic civics, that Sharia law surpasses American law based on

291
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: our constitution, that they are ineligible for funding. So any

292
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: school that is teaching that is number one will not

293
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: be accredited in the state of Tennessee, with or without

294
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 2: a school choice program. And certainly if they're not accredited,

295
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: then they're ineligible to reach those scholarships.

296
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: All right, well, said Senator Wow, we got we cover

297
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: a lot. We're going to get you back on and

298
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: we just and we got to get your band out

299
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: here to play one of these days.

300
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 2: You're invested in to see, would love to do it,

301
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: love to do it sometimes.

302
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: All right, Senator all right, have a great day out there,

303
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: Good luck with us year's Assembly.

Speaker 2: Thanks be talking to all right.

305
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: Senator Jack Johnson. Everybody, we've got to take a quick break.

306
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

Speaker 4: Next.

309
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: All right, I told you it was going to be

310
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: a busy day. We appreciate the Senate Majority leader coming

00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: to our good buddy Dean in Memphis. Dean, what's going on?

319
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 5: Not much?

320
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 6: How you doing today, Todd?

321
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: I'm well, thank you for asking Dean.

322
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 6: Ah a good deal. I appreciate your daily show. Uh

323
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 6: that was just right around the corner from us over

324
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 6: there on Summer Avenue and I was watching it half

325
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 6: in live from Blackwood News. I stand with law enforcement

326
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 6: on this on this on these issues, I mean, I

327
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 6: don't care if they protest on the side to the

328
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 6: streets or whatever, on the sidewalks and parking lots and

329
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 6: things like that, but when you move out into the

330
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 6: street and you're obstructing traffic, and Senator Taylor's already written

331
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 6: the bills or laws or whatever to keep that from happening,

332
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 6: and they should have arrested a ton of people. Of course,

333
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 6: I don't know where they're going to put them. But

334
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 6: I watched the video put out this morning on Facebook

335
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 6: by THHP about a guy that they said that they hit.

336
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 6: He walks up to the cruiser, grabs the push bumper,

337
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 6: the the car moves just a hair and he flails over,

338
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 6: still holding on to the bumper because I thought it

339
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 6: was AI at first, and he pulls himself back up

340
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 6: and walks off.

341
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dean, I've seen a lot and look, this is

342
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,479
Speaker 1: something we've seen over and over and over again, and

343
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: it's worse than I'll tell you what. It's worse than

344
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: college football, and it's worse than the NBA right where

345
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: they get bumped or they don't get bumped, and then

346
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: you see him splay out all over the floor. That's

347
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: exactly what's going on in the middle of Summer Avenue.

348
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 6: Exactly exactly. It's the post that I made on THCHP

349
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 6: was you know, it's asinine and hilarious at the same time.

350
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: So, yeah, senator, a senator or a state representative, Pearson Powerfrow,

351
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: We're gonna call him Rep. Power Frow from now on, Rep.

352
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: Powerfrow is demanding an investigation when you can literally see

353
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: the video. There's a supper video that Dean's talking about

354
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: where some guy literally steps in front of a moving cruiser.

355
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: The cruiser stops. I don't know that God blessed the

356
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: driver because they didn't hit the guy. But then the

357
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: guy as soon as it stops, the guy drops and

358
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: then gets up and walks away, and they're saying, oh,

359
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: he was run over.

360
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you look closely at the video, because I

361
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 6: had to watch it like two or three times, he

362
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 6: holds on to the pushbar and you see his hands

363
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 6: there the entire time. And like I said, I thought

364
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 6: it was AI at first because it's like he falls

365
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 6: completely backwards and then all of a sudden he stands

366
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 6: back up. Like it's like it's a like a moving target.

367
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that shooting.

368
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 6: It falls and then it pops back up.

369
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: Dean, we're gonna post the video. We're gonna post the

370
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: video over on a kwam and folks, you'll be able

00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 7: Hey, good morning. I shouldn't be giving tips to these people,

390
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 7: but you know, if somebody's versidas is acting up or

391
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 7: they're bunions, I have a great idea for them. They

392
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 7: should just go get some purple wigs and a bunch

393
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 7: of fading goats and just you know, put the wings

394
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 7: on the goats and let the ghats do the job,

395
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 7: you know, if it's cold or if it's raining. I

396
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 7: think that would be very funny to watch.

397
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: I love this idea. I love this idea, Linda. That's it.

398

Speaker 1: them what fainting goats? Right? They just keel right over right.

400
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 7: They I guess they get scared and just put them

401
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 7: in front of a bumper. And you know, it would

402
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,600

Speaker 1: it every Saturday right here exclusively on the Mighty NY

417
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: ninety at eleven o'clock. Joe, Good morning.

418
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 8: Good morning, Pods, Good morning, Joe.

419
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: We're going to take a break from talking about feigning

420
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: goats just a moment to talk about some great news

421
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: about mortgage rates, because they are now at a what

422
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: a three year low? Is that? Right?

423
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 8: They slipped right down late last week, Todd. You know,

424
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 8: the when the White House came out and said that

425
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 8: Fannie May and Freddie Mack is going to be using

426
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 8: the two hundred billion dollars they have in surplus to

427
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 8: start buying treasuries. Now they're not buying ten year treasury,

428
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 8: so it's not going to speak the rate, it's the forecast,

429
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 8: but they are going to cause rates to slip down

430
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 8: even more of it. They started doing that just on

431
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 8: the news of these big mortgage giants buying all these

432
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 8: mounts late last week.

433
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: This is uh and the headline is that that Fannie

434
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: May and Freddy mac would start buying some of the

435
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: treasuries with their two hundred billion dollar surplus. And I

436
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: know on your show you make this analogy. It's sort

437
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: of like an airline ticket.

438
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 8: Yes, that's a great analogy.

439
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: Yes it is.

440
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 8: And you know the housing in the mortgage market right now,

441
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 8: DS is exactly as you said. It says if you're

442
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 8: trying to time your vacations so that you get the

443
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 8: best price on your airline tickets, and when the airline

444
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 8: ticket price is dropped, of course more people travel, right.

445
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 8: But the more people who book, the faster the feats

446
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 8: sell out, and the price does what it starts climbing

447
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 8: up again, and mortgage rates dropping is like these cheaper flights.

448
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 8: You know, it increases the demand for people buying homes recmancing,

449
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 8: and these rising home prices are like those airline tickets

450
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 8: getting more expensive as the plane gets full.

451
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: Joe Garner joining us here on Strange Country This Morning,

452
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: host of real Estate Mortgage Shop on Saturdays. By the way,

455
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: of all sorts of great information. Let's talk about about

456
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: home buyers liking in the price of their homes.

457
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 8: Oh, you know, that's the people who are really happy.

458
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 8: And you know, back to that airline kicking. I just

459
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 8: want to say, if you're out there and you're thinking

460
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 8: about buying a home or recommending, don't miss the best deal,

461
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 8: trying to bottom fish for the lowest rate. And the

462
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 8: people right now who have gone ahead and said, hey,

463
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 8: this works, this rate today works for me, they're the

464
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 8: ones who are been very happy. Like, let me use

465
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 8: an example. These aren't their real name, of course, but

466
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 8: Gainer and Grace. Let's say then they're moving to messis

467
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 8: the Memphis area from a high cost housing state. So

468
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 8: how a state where housing is the sea heid of

469
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 8: it for it. Grace can work remotely and her husband's retired,

470
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 8: but at some point Todd Grace wants to retire too,

471
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 8: and without Grace's income, they would have never been able

472
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 8: to afford to own their own home in the state,

473
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 8: this high housing cost state where they were living. So

474
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 8: they bought a home here in the mid South with

475
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 8: a more cnituate low enough to make the payment manageable

476
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 8: even after Grace retires. By the way, Tennessee is one

477
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 8: of the top states that California. California is moving to

478
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 8: word of being number two on GENC and the wider millennials.

479
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 8: But Grace told me, she said, we're going to buy now,

480
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 8: so we don't have to worry about the prices of

481
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 8: home continuing to go up. And if the mortgage rates

482
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 8: drop enough, she said, we can always reconnance to a

483
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 8: lower rate later. I think that's really why.

484
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: So let's talk about homeowner who refinances adds another high

485
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: interest credit card into a much lower rate.

486
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 8: Oh God, I'm so glad you mentioned that. That's one

487
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 8: of the most common refinances right now. And just to

488
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 8: give our listeners an example, let's say Helen Homeowners of

489
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 8: course by the real names. She had paid her mortgage

490
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 8: down to where she only owed you know, let's in

491
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 8: half of her what her house was worth. And you

492
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 8: know she was happy about that, but she had had

493
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 8: some financial emergencies with her family and over the last

494
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 8: few years had accluved fifty thousand dollars approximately in credit

495
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 8: card debts. Well, a few years ago credit card debt,

496
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 8: you were only paying what twelve percent or something on

497
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 8: your credit card debt. But I don't know if he's

498
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 8: looked at your credit card lately, If this lady and

499
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 8: a lot of the rest of us are paying like

500
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 8: twenty eight to twenty nine percent interest compounded upon itself,

501
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 8: on credit cards. Well, this is what was happening to

502
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 8: Helen homeowner. So what we did for her, which I

503
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 8: can do for any of our listeners, is we did

504
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 8: a comparison of what she would pay and the name

505
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 8: debts she would have over the next five years if

506
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 8: she just kept paying her bills the way she was

507
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 8: doing it. Then you did a comparison of how much

508
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 8: debt would she have and how much the she paid

509
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 8: over the next five years. If we did a cash

510
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 8: out reef amends, and I want to tell you, the

511
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 8: clear winner was to cash out leaf amends pod because

512
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 8: she would go down to a single digit interest rate

513
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 8: somewhere in the sixties and be able to take save

514
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 8: money on her what she was paying out each month

515
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 8: by a few hundred dollars. Then she could turn around

516
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 8: and start paying that mortgage off early again A clear

517
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 8: winner doing that.

518
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: Wow, that's uh yeah, that's uh. That is incredibly impressive.

519
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: And especially when you've got homeowners out there sitting on

520
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: a mortgage. You know they got back what in twenty

521
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: twenty three in the low to mid sevens.

522
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 8: You know, actually in October you're right on that pod.

523
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 8: But in October of twenty three, ranks actually went up

524
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 8: to eight and a quarter on a thirty year And

525
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 8: so there are people out there that are paying in

Speaker 1: a car real quick. I want to go to Lisa

565
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: and downtown and Lisa, I know that you and I

566
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: you and I chatted over the weekend. You were actually

567
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: caught up in that chaos over on Summer Avenue, Yes,

568
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: I was.

569
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 5: You know, I lived over in that neighborhood in the

570
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 5: Berkeley area, and uh, my dog Stella just everbody knows

571
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 5: Stella's doing better, but Stella's had gotten sick Saturday evening

572
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 5: Saturday night. I just kept watching her. On Sunday afternoon,

573
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 5: I'm like, I need to take her to the emergency

574
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 5: animal hospital. And as I pulled out on Summer Avenue,

575
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 5: I forgot all about the protests. But the people were

576
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,959
Speaker 5: the protesters were on the sidewalk, but they had gotten

577
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 5: so thick that they had started spilling into the right

578
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 5: lane on each side of the street, so it made

579
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 5: the traffic go down to one lane, and then they

580
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 5: were crossing Wearing and then in front of like the

581
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 5: Kroger parking lot. All that I couldn't even turn right

582
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 5: into on Wearing or into any of the parking lots

583
00:30:58,240 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 5: to cut through to.

584
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 3: A backstreet to get her.

585
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 5: So that's where my problem came in, where I couldn't

586
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 5: get down Summer Avenue, which is normally less than five

587
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 5: minutes from my house on any other day. So that's

588
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 5: what I was getting upset about.

589
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: And Lisa again, the rule here is you can protest,

590
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: but you can't block streets. That's against the.

591
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 5: Law, correct, correct, You have to get permits, and.

592
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, you sure do, and in Memphis specifically,

593
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: so that's the that's the law. But you're more importantly

594
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: your dog is doing okay.

595
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, she's doing good. She's on the men's boutellurs later

596
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 5: but she's good.

597
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: Well, you know, Lisa, I am glad to hear this.

598
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: Stella good. Tell her get well for all of us

599
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: here at Kate.

600
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 3: William all right, Todd you're talking about all right?

601
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: Thanks, that's our good friend Lisa Arnold downtown and caught

602
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: up one of the many many people caught up in

603
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: that mess. So again, folks are saying the protester could

604
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: teach Lebron James a thing or two. Go and watch

605
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: the video on our Facebook page and give us a call.

Speaker 1: Pamela Furr is with Americans for Prosperity Tennessee, and Pamela,

622
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, we had Senator Jack Johnson on the first

623
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: segment of the show talking about the legislative agenda, and

624
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: I know you guys are going to be neck deep

625
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: in politics over the next couple of months as well.

626
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely. And it's interesting that you had State Senator

627
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 3: Jack Johnson on today because he is actually one of

628
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 3: the sponsors of our number one priority for twenty twenty six,

629
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 3: and that's passing the Regulatory Freedom Act. It makes it

630
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 3: easier to repeal red tape and bureaucracy that strain the

631
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 3: economy here in the state of Tennessee. And it also

632
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 3: provides more legislative oversight to the most expansive, burdensome regulations.

633
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 3: I don't know if you.

634
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 4: Know this, but there are like one hundred twenty one

635
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 4: thousand individual rules and regulations that unelected bureaucrats have created

636
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 4: in state government, and we want to put.

637
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 3: It into that. You may remember this time, there was

638
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 3: a time that the Democrats had the rule in the

639
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 3: state of Tennessee, and so over the years it's just

640
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 3: the rules and regulations that get accumulated. We've done a

641
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 3: tour across the state with volumes of books of regulations,

642
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 3: like thirty two volumes of those things. And so we

643
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 3: want to cut that mass. And so State Senator Jack

644
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: Johnson in the Senate is going to be leading that bill,

645
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 3: and Clark Boyd, Representative Clark Boyd out of Middle Tennessee

646
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 3: will be leading that and sponsoring that in the House.

647
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 3: And we're excited about that. We want more freedom in

648
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 3: Tennessee and unelected bureaucrats should not have that kind of

649
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 3: control there at the state capital.

650
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: No look anytime, and I know there is a lot

651
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: of hullablue about, oh, the Republicans in Congress that This

652
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: is the least number of laws that have been passed

653
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: and you know, in decades, and I'm like, that's a

654
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: great thing. Actually, we don't need more laws on the books, right.

655
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: We need to start enforcing the ones that are already.

656
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 9: There we have and get rid of the rules that

657
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 9: people who we didn't elect, who are making decisions for

658
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 9: us that stifle growth, stifle economy, stiful small businesses, and

659
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 9: so we want to put a stop to that. So

660
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 9: that's our number one priority in twenty twenty six. We

661
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 9: also want to cap property taxes local property taxes. For

662
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 9: crying out loud, there.

663
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 3: Are some areas in the state, Davidson County in Nashville

664
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 3: who keep raising property taxes by huge percentages. That's one

665
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 3: of the reasons why I moved out of the Nashville

666
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 3: area and further south because they raised my property taxes

667
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 3: more than thirty percent twice in the last five years.

668
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 3: That's ridiculous, and we're looking to put a cap on that.

669
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 3: We're working with our friends at Beacon Center. They're kind

670
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 3: of delete on that, but we want to. We want

671
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 3: to do that, expand school choice and repeal certificate of need,

672
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 3: which has to do with hospitals and permissions that some

673
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 3: counties try to give or don't give to the medical

674
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 3: field to be competitive in those rural counties across Tennessee.
