1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: The talk station. It was sick a fifty five KR

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: see the talk station. Brian Thomas welcoming back to the

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: fifty five Karensee Morning Show and appreciate his willingness to

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: discuss political matters that come on the program to talk

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: about it. Congressman David Taylor, representing the second District care

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: in Ohio and proudly doing so. Congressman Taylor, welcome back

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: to the morning show. It's always great having you on

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: the show.

9
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: Thanks Brian, thank you for having me. I'm always happy

10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 2: to talk to you.

11
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: I am pleased about that. My listeners are pleased to

12
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: hear from him as well. Now I talk about start

13
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: off with the Epstein and not quite sure much time

14
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: you want to spend with it. That's fine, But finally

15
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: we move forward. Everybody says, let's get the Epstein files

16
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: out there. A weird thing happened with Donald Trump. First

17
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: he campaigns on releasing them, then he says, no, there's

18
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: nothing to see here, and then the Democrats get start

19
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: to salivate, thinking maybe there's something in there they want

20
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: to that he wants to keep from the American public.

21
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, but we finally ended up to the

22
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: point where they're all going to be released subject to

23
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: DOJ redactions, which we will all anxiously await and probably

24
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: chuckle over. But I mean, I think a lot of

25
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: people seem to have lost sight of what this is

26
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: all about. I'm my understanding. For example, the discharged Physician

27
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: petition Congress from Massey wanted from some justice for these

28
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: women who came forward and demanded accountability by those that

29
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: molested them, molested them when they were young, before they

30
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: were adults, like age fourteen, for example. The point was

31
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: there have been no prosecutions with the exception of Epstein

32
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: and his you know, Julane Maxwell, where are all the

33
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there are a thousand victims out there where

34
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: I know it wasn't just Epstein molesting them. There's a

35
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: lot of people out there that were involved and maybe

36
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: engaged in that conduct. Isn't it important for these women

37
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 1: to get some justice for what they went through?

38
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely, Brian. It's like you said, it's not just

39
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: the gravity of the crime and the huge number of victims.

40
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: That's also we don't know who the all the perpetrators were.

41
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: You know, some of the few names that have snuck

42
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: out from the British Royalty to others. Obviously, there are

43
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: people in positions of considerable influence who may still be

44
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: in positions of considerable influence. And the people deserve to

45
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: know that the victims deserve justice, and we deserve to

46
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: know they were governed by and I appreciate Congressman Matthew's

47
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: efforts to get these documents out. It's vitally important that

48
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: we do it. There are some concerns about, you know,

49
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: the sort of what's within the four corners of the

50
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: discharged petition that results in these releases. There's a security

51
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: of the victims information is a vital concern, the possible

52
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: release of the child sexual abuse materials, right, we have

53
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: to be very careful about those things. But this is

54
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: a you know, transparent first step towards holding perpetrators accountable.

55
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 2: Passed four hundred and twenty seven to one. I was

56
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: happy to vote yes on it. What's not been talked

57
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: about a lot is back on September third, we passed

58
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: a measure to release even more breadth and depth of information,

59
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: including Epstein's a state documentation where you can do some

60
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: real tracking of who he dealt with and when, and

61
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: that passed the House floor, but two hundred and eight

62
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: Democrats voted against that, so that leads to the question

63
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: of what their real motivations are. But I agree with

64
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: you one hundred percent, Brian, that all of this needs

65
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: to come out. And since the Republicans have been in charge,

66
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 2: tens of thousands of pages of documentation have been released.

67
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: Zero pages came out under the previous administration. So it

68
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: makes it look like political grandstanding on their part, But

69
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: it really doesn't matter because between you and me and

70
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: the people of the second District, we want to know

71
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: what happened and who did it.

72
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: Who did it, who is involved in disgusting criminal conduct,

73
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: and the whole thing that was just seen to become

74
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: more of a who's going to get more shoden Freud

75
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: out of this has become a political weapon. You have

76
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: people levying accusations against Trump based upon some random musings

77
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: in some email between some folks, and that you know,

78
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: you could take it out of context, have it in context.

79
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: Either way, it looks like every single document release is

80
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: going to be weaponized, or at least there's going to

81
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: be in an effort to weaponize it against other politicians,

82
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: perhaps for political motivations. None of that has anything to

83
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: do with whether these women are going to get some justice.

84
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: No, I agree, it's you know, it's sort of been

85
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: political theater somewhat since the Democrats have decided they want

86
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 2: these documents released. Oh, they have victims in the who

87
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 2: they betrayed the last four years in the on the

88
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: House floor, and you know, play to them. And you know, honestly,

89
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 2: I hope when we get to the bottom of this horrible,

90
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: you know, child sex abuse nightmare, we see the Democrats

91
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 2: pursue the huge child sex slave track trafficking the perpetrated

92
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: under the previous administration. But I'm not too optimistic that

93
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 2: that'll happen.

94
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: Oh and following that statement, the big question is, well,

95
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: why why they seem to be like non political, no

96
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: brainer type the things Congressman I I don't understand the

97
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: division over something that doesn't even bear a political stripe.

98
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: You know, justice for these women going after child molesters

99
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: and child predators. Does that bear a political stripe?

100
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: I don't think it shouldn't. I mean, as we've as

101
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: we've discussed, it should have been released long ago. It

102
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: should have been we should have been digging into it

103
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 2: right away. The way this has been handled from back

104
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 2: to the the the prosecutions of Epstein and Maxwell themselves.

105
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: It's always been uh, there's a list of perpetrators, but

106
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: none of them have been in dieted. None of them

107
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 2: have been named publicly except your uh, a British royal

108
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: no one particularly cares about, has no influence on American politics.

109
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's it's puzzling, but they managed to caush

110
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: it for the four years that Biden was in office.

111
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: What makes it sort of a I think they pulled

112
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: it and people went to the ste documents and they said, well,

113
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: we got to jump on something. We're on the twenty

114
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: percent side of every eighty twenty issue in the country.

115
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: We need to get on the positive side of one. Look,

116
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: I've always been on the side of full transparency business case.

117
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, well, and then the public is demanding some

118
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: information or know how in the hell this Epstein guy,

119
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: coming from basic obscurity, could rise to a position where

120
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: he could be having one point two billion dollars in

121
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: suspicious trading transactions through JP Morgan. How is it that

122
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: he became connected with all these power bloker brokers in

123
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: these players. I mean, there's a lot of conspiracy theorist

124
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: listeners out there. I think there's some evil cabal of

125
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: like eight people that run and make decisions for the

126
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: entire world. That's not me. But when you see something

127
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: like this and all of these global players and multi

128
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: millionaire business people all working together and exchanging communications, it

129
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: just feeds that narrative and it causes people to what

130
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: is going on here?

131
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: Well? No, absolutely, and I'm glad to see that the

132
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: JP Morgan documents are already coming out. As I said,

133
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: we've been the Oversight Committee has been pursuing this, trying

134
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,239
Speaker 2: to do it in a very responsible way, protecting victims' names,

135
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: protecting the public from being exposed to the term of

136
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: art is cesan. But a child's sexual abuse materials that

137
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: you are maybe forced into the public domain by this

138
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: discharge petition. But hopefully uh out media outlets are responsible

139
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: when that stuff comes out. It doesn't, you know, get

140
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: to presented to the eyes of children. You know, no

141
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: one wants to see that kind of thing release. But

142
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: if that's what's necessary to get to the bottom of

143
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: this case, then hopefully it's done responsibly. Yeah.

144
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: Well, you know part of me, you know, the the

145
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: attorney in the suspects that there has been some measure

146
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: of accountability against these people in the form of settlement

147
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: agreements that have confidentiality clauses in them. Congressman, maybe that's

148
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: why there hasn't been any prosecution, because they've all settled

149
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: out of court.

150
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

151
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: Just because you settle on a civil from a civil

152
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: liability perspective, out of court, doesn't mean the Prosecutor's office

153
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: or the US Attorney General couldn't still go after them

154
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: for blesting children.

155
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Those settlements, I'm sure sure all include

156
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: nbas of varying strength. I'm sure they did all they

157
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: could to try to make it so that their payment

158
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: led to them that were being exposed to the light.

159
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: But there's all kinds of ways to pursue those cases,

160
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 2: and I'm sure the DJI will use every angle they

161
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: possibly can. It's been a very active dj during the

162
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 2: first eleven months or so of this Congress. I'm sure

163
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: they'll turn their attention to that. Well. President Trump refers

164
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: to it as a distraction. I think basically what he's

165
00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: referring to is he's not involved and it's distracting from

166
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: his agenda. He's fully focused on trying to get his

167
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: policies across the line. I assume what he means is

168
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: they're trying to prevent him from enacting his agenda by

169
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 2: using something in which he is really not involved. Yeah,

170
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: more right, More and more people who are were deeply

171
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: involved in the case say that, you know, as soon

172
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: as he found out that Epstein was involved in this

173
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: kind of activity, he not only banned him from his resource,

174
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: but you know, reported to appropriate people that he respected.

175
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: It was going on.

176
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 1: Cut ties with the guy like everybody else should have

177
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: the minute they found out he was a child moll

178
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: last year. Congressman. We're going to continue with Congressman Dave Taylor. Now,

179
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: something else that should bear no political stripe should be

180
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: in the talks Station eight, nineteen fifty five KCD Talk

181
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: Station Bryan Thomas with Congressman David Taylor. Let me quote you,

182
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: Congressman David Taylor, along the lines of the should and

183
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: or a political stripe. Quote. It's a no brainer. If

184
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: you want to drive an eighty thousand pound vehicle on

185
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: America's roads, you should be able to read the road

186
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: signs that that's an irrefutable statement, sir. But there are

187
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: people who think that that shouldn't be a requirement. What

188
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: is the Commercial Motor Vehicle English Proficiency Act, which you

189
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: are a coho sponsor of, Sir, Yeah, Brian.

190
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: It's this sort of goes hand in hand with Connor's Law,

191
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 2: which we talked about just briefly last time I was

192
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: with you. This covers the testing procedure. Currently, the written

193
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: part of the CDL test can be given in any language.

194
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: The driving portion of it is given in English, but

195
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: there's very little English proficiency required to pass the driving

196
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: part anyway. Basically, the passing the driving part is no

197
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: indication that you are proficient in English. So this will

198
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 2: require you to take the test in English before getting

199
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: a CDL, Whereas Connor's law covers folks already have a

200
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: CDL that are driving, they get pulled over for this,

201
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: that or the other thing, and if they're not proficient

202
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: in English, then they're taken out of service. It's such

203
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: a common sense law that it was the law starting

204
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: in nineteen thirty seven up until the Obama administration. They

205
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: gutted the teeth of the law. That taking you out

206
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: of service part was taken out of the law. So

207
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 2: if they pull you over you can't read or speak English,

208
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: they give you a ticket and on you go, continuing

209
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: to endanger everybody on the road. So these two things

210
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: go hand in hand, and I expect them to have

211
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: considerable bipartisan support. But with the way we've seen Democrats

212
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 2: absolutely go to the mastresses to protect illegals and keep

213
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 2: them in the United States, I don't know, but I'm

214
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: expecting this is a very common sense law. Is the

215
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 2: law for most of the last hundred years, hopefully it

216
00:11:59,240 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 2: can be again.

217
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: So commercial driver's license are those the purview of the

218
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: states or is that a federal issue? Because my understanding

219
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: that the laws regarding the roads and the issuance of

220
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: licenses commercial or you know, like my own driver's license

221
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: are a state law. Is this is this through the

222
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: exercises or the use of the commerce clause, you can

223
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: reach out there and sort of even the playing field

224
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: in terms of what's required to get a cd L.

225
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, the states are handing out CDL with their own

226
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: rules to a large extent. But uh, these hopefully both

227
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: of these laws will be rolled into the surface reauthorization law,

228
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: what usually called the Highway Bill. Yeah, it's here because

229
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: you you know, as an attorney. You know, there's no

230
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: more abused clause of the Constitution than the Commerce clause.

231
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: Oh, don't get me started, Commress from Taylor.

232
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: But that's like we can all agree that.

233
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: No, that's always hesitant to even bring up the topic

234
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: because I'm arguing in favor of using the commerce clause

235
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: to keep dangerous drivers off the road. And you're right,

236
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: it's the worst one ever.

237
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: Right, But I mean this is pretty clear nextus to uh,

238
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: you know, national commerce when you're hauling big rigs are

239
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: going from LA to New York, much.

240
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: More southern, much more so than growing private wheat on

241
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: your own private property for your own private consumption, which

242
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: is the genesis of how we went off the rails

243
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: here in the United States from the Wicked versus Philburn case.

244
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: Sorry to subject around you. All right, So, so is

245
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: this teed up? Is it ready to go? Is it

246
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: ill still in committee? Are we going to see a

247
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: vote on this one?

248
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 2: We're hoping that it'll be out of committee soon. The

249
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: Connors Law we've we sponsored quite a while ago, and

250
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 2: I think it's it's it should be close, honest. We're

251
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: hoping the reauthorization we'll come through t and I and

252
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,359
Speaker 2: we're hoping both of these bills are are added to that.

253
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 2: That's the highway build I'm talking about, and that sort

254
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: of slated for spring for a final passage, So hopefully

255
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 2: we'll get marked up maybe before the end of the year,

256
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: if not early part of twenty six, and I have

257
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 2: that passed in the spring and be off and running

258
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 2: all right.

259
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: Other than the fact that a lot of Republicans sponsored this,

260
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: have you heard an argument articulating against this and saying

261
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: why this is not a good idea? That's kind of

262
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: the where I'm where I'm especially my curiosity, why isn't

263
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: this a good idea?

264
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear it bright. I know no one.

265
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: No one has come to me and said that's dumb.

266
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: So that gives me hope that then we'll get some

267
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: bipartisan support for it. And I really do think we will.

268
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: The trucking groups or the lobbying groups or advocacy groups,

269
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call them, are all in favor

270
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 2: of it. It will be The flip side of the

271
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 2: coin is that it'll be good for American workers. You know,

272
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: since COVID the long haul truckers are trucking in general,

273
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: they're very lucrative careers, and I think that's part of

274
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: why some of these companies are in these CDL mills,

275
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 2: are putting illegals and trucks and paying them less than

276
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: what they have to pay an American work driver. So

277
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 2: that's guide of the coin too.

278
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: No question about it. Well, we'll keep our fingers crossed

279
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: on that. Congres and David Taylor, thank you so much

280
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: for spending time with my listeners with me today, and

287
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: probably will We're going to help some folks out
