Nick Reed 04.17.26 - Politics with Tom Martz

0:00A vacation rental shouldn't come with surprises. It should come with VerboCare and 24-7 life support. If the hot tub's broken, that's a VerboCare thing. If my teenager starts calling me Leslie, that's a family thing, Leslie. VerboCare and 24-7 life support. If you know, you're Verbo. Terms apply. See Verbo.com slash trust for details. Springfield's talk went on for one good Friday morning. It's the Friday Road show. We are broadcasting live from scramblers. My name is Degree2. We are in our number two streaming live KSGF.com. If you miss any of the show, if you want any recap of stuff,

1:02we do have the podcast at KSGF.com, the app, Spotify, iTunes, and probably lots of other places I'm completely unaware of. It's amazing how that happens. And again, opportunity to maybe recap some stuff, or if you want to share some of it on social media, you are more than welcome to do that. Only benefits me, so knock yourself out on that. Tom Martin's going to be joining us just a couple of moments, also that whether what to expect right now, from the Ozarks first digital desk, I'm Bailey Stroll, as many as seven structures damaged in the Clinton area as part of severe storms that move through Wednesday evening. We now know at least two tornadoes touched down in the area. The district had to cancel classes for some students after damage to a couple of their buildings. Several power poles and large trees were also knocked down. Keep an eye on the forecast from here, as more severe storms are possible on Friday night. The Missouri House has approved new language requirements for commercial driver's license holders. The bill would require truck drivers to speak English

2:02sufficiently enough to have a conversation, answer questions, understand traffic signage, and fill out paperwork. It would also require truck drivers to have proof of citizenship or legal status to operate big rigs in Missouri. The proposal now heads to the Senate for further debate. Bailey Stroll, Ozarks first. And the first alert forecast from Ozarks first, meteorologist Tom Schmidt, sponsored by St. Clair of the Ozarks Home Improvements. Today we'll see a slight chance for scattered showers, otherwise mostly cloudy skies with a high near 82. Tonight showers and thunderstorms with a low around 45. Four year Saturday, a chance for rain in the morning and then mostly sunny in the afternoon with a high near 59. And for Sunday areas of frost before 8 AM, otherwise sunny with a high near 68. Look everyone, it's Tom Arns. Did I just understand that weather report that it's going to be freaking 80 degrees? Yes. We're going to get rain. It's going to be in the 40s. Saturday is going to be in the 50s and we have a chance of frost.

3:02Yes. So we've got it. Missouri. We've got, I'm sure you probably don't, but we have a number of Alexa's at our house. And some time ago, she's not welcome to my house. Some time ago, the voice upgraded. It was supposed to be more responsive and the voice sounded younger. And a lot of people didn't like it. I liked it. But for whatever reason, one of ours didn't ever switch. And I don't know if it's because it's an older one. But the, so the younger one, if you will. Well, if you asked the weather, the older one, the younger Alexa or the younger daughter, the younger Alexa, the younger Alexa, the newer voice. That's also younger, sounding. When you ask the older Alexa about the weather, it's pretty straightforward. The new one's a little more conversational. And last night, my wife asked her what the weather is going to be like tomorrow. And she started out by saying, it's going to be a wild ride.

4:03I can't you not. It's going to be a wild ride tomorrow, temperatures in this. And then down to 41 and everything. And I thought, well, okay. Well, really paint the picture for us there. So you have more than one Alexa in your home. Yeah, I figured you get one minus one. See, now at some point, I'm going to be curious when they start talking back and forth the one another. And you can come in and go, you know, I heard voices in my house last night. Yeah, I think, yeah, you have, well, oh, we do have actually three. The girl child has one. We have one. And then there's one in the living room. That didn't happen in my house. No, I just, you know, I mean, I basically wiped up my whole blinx system. I figured out that they were partnering up with flock. But now they've decided not to partner up with flock. So you never can tell when I mean, probably it's weather. And we control for hours. We control our lights in our home. I mean, that's not the only way. But we can say, hey, do you have your garage door open or to the point

5:06where you can just say Alexa, please open it for us. You know, yeah, but I never connected it up. I just haven't, I have not connected that up to Alexa. I just haven't ever felt the need to use it. So you strike me as the individual who could absolutely be 100% comfortable climbing in the car and going, drive me to such a such a job. You know, I might be, but I like driving the actual, I'm not saying if I had that opportunity, which one day that may just be the way that I wouldn't, but I do like the actual driving. Thankfully, I'll be dead before that occurs. But you know, here's the other thing. Or two of Manly, I wonder if it gets. Well, I don't know if I will live to see the day in which you have no choice, right? Because I think that is the way that they will eventually try to get it. That way they, they're able to control when and where we go control.

6:10Because like what I like to do now, oftentimes when I get off work, or I'm going from one place to the other, and I'm, I'm not in a hurry. I like to drive back roads. I like to drive even through Springfield neighborhoods. I've never been in before the long way. I just like doing that, especially when the weather's nice and the windows down. Well, I don't want to lose that. And it's one of the reasons that I like to just actually have my hands on the wheel. It's because I like to be able to do that. I see I'm driving like, oh, I'm going to go down that road and just, you know, last minute turned down that road. So I don't know that you drive a car like I ride my bike. Yeah, except for I don't wear a helmet when I when I drive it. I didn't use to wear helmets either, but I have found that they are very bad. Yeah, all right. Well, let's do traffic speaking to driving around. Then we'll continue on with Tom Marks here from Scrambler's Friday Road Show. I make Tom Marks is with us here at Scrambler's this morning. Today's date, 1964, Jerry Mock at Jerry with RRIE.

7:14Okay. Why little fun spelling there? Completed the first solo around the world flight by a woman landing her single engine says in a plane in Columbus, Ohio after a 29-day journey. Now, I think of Mock as a term associated with air travel and speed. Is there any connection between that last name? Spell differently, M-O-C-K, set of M-A-C-H. Did it smote? In 1969, a jury in Los Angeles convicted Sirhan, Sirhan of assassinating Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Sirhan's death sentence would be commuted to life in prison with the possibility of parole. He remains in prison today and he is an individual who remains in prison as the individual who did not assassinate Robert F. Kennedy. That is one in which there is a very, very strong arguments and strong evidence of sort of a

8:18mind thing going on and was it the woman in the flower trap or there was some woman that had a polka dot dress or something. I remember that numerous witnesses saw and for whatever reason made them believe she was involved in it and that he has no memory of kind of blacked out and so a lot of people believe that he was unknowingly part of the operation but to kind of take the fall. Yeah, he's kind of like my belief on Tyler Robinson with, you know, Charlie Curtin. He's an individual who got caught up or he actually may be part of the whole thing but he's not the one that pulled the trigger that made the final shot even though he did have a firearm but from all the different parameters of all the different podcasts I have listened to and the books I have read, this one individual brings about a very strong case that it was the

9:20bodyguard who took him out because the bodyguard was the only individual standing in the proper place in order for the bullet that the coroner says killed Robert F. Kennedy to be placed would be the bodyguard. Well, and of course as always I don't want to get into it but all of it every time I hear some of these theories, my first thought is we'll talk about a rude Goldberg way of going about killing someone like if you wanted someone dead so many easier ways to do it other than these extremely elaborate efforts that would take all these different people out in the view of so many people that could see all these things occurring it's like the opposite way if I but you know I'm not in the sense of message though I think that's why they're done in public that's why Kennedy wasn't assassinated behind the scenes it's it's a way to promote a message that you screw around this will happen to you as well I think there's some some truth to that

10:23oftentimes now this one you also like too because this is exfiled there is stuff in 1970 Apollo 13 astronauts James A. Lovell Fred W. House and Jack swaggered splashed down safely in the Pacific four days after a ruptured oxygen tank crippled their spacecraft while in route to the moon a place that they would have never gotten to to begin with sorry 1972 the Boston Marathon allowed women to compete for the first time Nina Kusik was the first officially recognized woman's champion with a time of three hours ten minutes and 26 seconds 1975 Cambodia's five-year civil war ended as the capital FOMFIN fell to the climber Rouge which instituted brutal radical policies that claimed an estimate at 1.7 million lives nearly one in four Cambodians until the regime was overthrown in 1979

11:32that a Dow Jones hit 3,000 for the first time in 1991 3,000 wow 3,000 and 4.46 it was up 17.58 1993 a federal jury in Los Angeles convicted two former police officers of violating the civil rights of beaten motorist Rodney King two other offices were acquitted can't we all just get along in 2020 president Donald J Trump oh it's a via Twitter urge supporters to liberate three states led by democratic governors apparently encouraging protesters protest against stay at home mandates aimed at stopping the coronavirus which by the way it absolutely did two weeks to flatten the car along with the vaccine I'm kind of hearing

12:37that now about Iran we're two two weeks to flatten the curve and in 1961 some 1400 CIA trained Cuban exiles launched the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in an attempt to topple Fidel Castro whose forces crushed the incursion within three days he didn't need two weeks the flatten the curve he did it in three days well when you fail miserably you don't need as much time this is what you know I've actually I've heard some well as there's talk about this potential liberation of Cuba but it's interesting because I've thought about the comparisons in some of the stuff Trump's doing at versus like Kennedy and the Bay of Pigs thing and how it would be different if it were Trump instead of Kennedy and I think the difference is while the Bay of Pigs may have had this

13:41motivation of boldness behind it once it got once the the the perfect scenario started to not play out they're like oops let's not do this anymore where Trump is like L.R. Highwater let's adjust let's figure this thing out we will not give up on this I get totally different but now you don't know what it would have looked like of course who knows it could have been a horrifically bloody loss that was unnecessary that's the thing about these alternate timelines you don't know how it'll turn out but it's just such a you think of the different approach of different presidents and how they deal with things and and Trump really is one where if it's not working all right let's figure out he still keeps that in goal all right let's adjust let's adapt because we will get there and it's just an interesting you know real division between that way and way some past presidents have I'm just getting sick and tired of the United States being the police of the world now

14:43I'm also getting sick and tired of seeing flag drape coffins coming back to parents who for no real purpose we just decided we're going to attack a country well that's not true to say there's no real part now you may disagree with the purpose but there's a there's a purpose for it and it may be wrong it may be you may not agree with you propaganda that was being used for the reason why it is that we attacked a country what which the well which property that they've vowed to annihilate us and have their desire you know I can sit here at this table and vow to annihilate the United States government but if I don't have the capacity to do it well that's the whole point was to prevent the capacity do you want to wait until they have it that's not the place I live and I can't blame them for wanting to defend their own country well it isn't really defense when I give if I we are to provide for the common defense that's the 50 states but he that's not globally but this

15:49is the luxury and listen I'm not even saying that you're wrong on this I'm just saying that the luxury of saying we should never do anything is when nothing bad happens but we have the same mentality with bin Laden 9-11 I mean we had them had the opportunity we knew what his goals were but we decided well it's not he and in fact Clinton said well he hasn't done anything to us yet we created bin Laden well okay even if you want to argue we that's like saying a wife creates an abuse of husband because she doesn't have dinner ready on time I mean just no there's a there's a huge difference between arming a bunch of people to overthrow their government well and then when they decide that they're going to get big enough to all right so let's let's go okay so let's go down that route let's say that we did quote creed bin Laden does that mean that we shouldn't have stopped him from be like well we created him so I guess we get it we just you know we deserve it

16:51same argument where where were the hijackers from well yeah were they from Saudi Arabia no no yes I am because we didn't attack Saudi Arabia we didn't answer the bin Laden country you didn't but been yeah but bin Laden are you disagreeing that he coordinated it he was responsible for it I don't know because I'm not I I don't have the availability of seeing all this supposedly rock solid evidence well you and that points to bin Laden well you know he I mean he said he did it and his writings to all of we're being told to Tyler Robinson said he did it too but yet there is no rock solid evidence to prove it there's no rock solid evidence that Charlie Kirk was killed by his bodyguard either but you seem to hop on that one real quick no I don't think Charlie Kirk was killed by his bodyguard and never once did I ever say it I thought you what were you talking about the bodyguard earlier that was Robert F Kennedy oh I think you're talking about Charlie no I'm talking about sir hand sir hand thing got it okay thought you were talking about

17:55I was like I haven't heard the only the only person that was in a position according the the different papers that have been released and the people who kind of follow this stuff the only individual that was in a position to fire the fatal shot which killed Robert F Kennedy would have been one of the bodyguards because he was to his right and behind him oh yeah no no he was not in front of him yeah no I mean I still have yet to figure out what killed Charlie Kirk but I know what it's not it's not a 30 odd six bullet by a mauser the thing that does circling back because I do I was going to mention earlier that really fascinates me about the Robert Kennedy assassination as opposed to some of the others in which there are conspiracy theories is that the that sir hand sir hand is still alive in prison he's still alive isn't he yeah and I still and I that just fascinates me somehow because like with Kennedy you know Jack Ruby's dead very quickly

19:02after the fact obviously Lee Harvey Oswald was killed very so it's like all of the people that were kind of involved were quickly eliminated whether for cover-up reasons or otherwise but with what was a huge asset I mean that wasn't some incidental assassination and the fact that you know his son has a cabinet position in the and just the Kennedy name and that that guy is still alive and there just doesn't really seem to be this huge interest in I don't even have in conversations with the guy well you know actually his weird if you if you listen to Bobby he's actually gone and talked to sir hand sir hand oh has he and and basically said I know you're not the reason why he's dead of all that it's just all the different mysteries and assassinations the fact that that guy is still alive and and there isn't more of a I mean I guess there isn't interest but I don't know it's just weird to me see I think what the I think part of the issue is is that

20:03occurred before social media that's what makes the Charlie Kirk thing so well it's so unreal is because there is now this mechanism by which people who question now have the availability talked to other people who question who talked about and before you didn't have that you had to buy the slop that was fed to you by the media well and the government because they were promoting it to the media well it and unfortunately it's just more noise I mean it goes both ways that you have the benefit of not being isolated to the official word of from the people in charge but then you also have this complete blood sport open forum in which anyone in it because it doesn't matter here's the thing I learned about the internet it is not matter how crazy a position is there will always be other people because of the vastness of the world who think oh yeah I know I agree with

21:05that as well and then because they all come together can give it what appears to be credibility because so many other people believe it and that's the if you want to say the downside of the internet is that it is so much of that it doesn't mean that they're wrong you know it's just it's just instead of one narrative now there's a hundred thousand narratives well yeah but the the most beneficial thing is is the really good podcasters will actually post their proof or what it ever what it is it referring to versus somebody who just kind of goes off the wall and says well this happened this happened and yeah no that's absolutely all right we're going to take a break we continue on with Tom arts this morning from scramblers the Friday road show I'm Nick Reed Springfield talk one oh four one at the first alert forecast from Ozark's first meteorologist Tom Schmidt sponsored by JNS Automotive today we'll see a slight chance for scattered showers otherwise cloudy with a high near 82 tonight showers and thunderstorms with a low around 45 four year Saturday a chance

22:10for rain in the morning and then mostly sunny in the afternoon with a high near 59 and for Sunday areas of frost before 8 a.m. otherwise sunny with a high near 68 Tom arts with us here at scramblers Tuesday or Wednesday whatever it was was tax day oh yes I got quite the little interesting info on my taxes so let me read you something in in state ranks what type of tax penalties can individuals face in Missouri okay in Missouri individuals can face various types of tax penalties if they fail to comply with state tax laws some common tax penalties individuals may face include failure to file penalty individuals may incur a penalty for failing to file their Missouri state taxes returned by the due date okay that was not my problem failure to pay penalty individuals

23:13who do not pay their state tax liability by the due date may face a penalty based on the amount owed that was not my problem late payment penalty if individuals make a late payment on their Missouri state taxes they are subject to a penalty based on the amount of the payment and how late it is that also was not my issue under payment penalty individuals who do not pay enough in estimated taxes throughout the year may face an under payment penalty let me tell you what that under payment penalty is it's twenty five dollars I owed the state of Missouri eight hundred dollars for the entire year because I wasn't quarterly I didn't send them enough money I've never sent them enough money I always make it so I owe the state of Missouri at the end of the year this is the

24:15first year however though that they decided to tack me with a twenty five dollar penalty and I actually owed in previous years more money than this eight hundred dollars so if you can't get enough money for the revenue generated of what it is that the legislature has happens to be spending let's tack on penalties and fees let's say if you owe a hundred dollars and you're not supposed to owe a hundred dollars let's tack twenty five dollars on to it and if you owe two hundred well let's make that fifty and if you owe three hundred let's make that seventy five the fact that they got their money and to my way of thinking they got it in a timely manner they got it on April the 14th when he was supposed to get it now we penalize me twenty five dollars because I was under reporting my revenue to provide my quarterly taxes for the businesses absolute crap so and this is an area I don't know because I don't do quarterly tax is that something that is required

25:19to do it quarterly or what as opposed to just annually I'm just used to do an annually because I don't get out but I know people do do it quarterly so most most businesses will do quarterly and then you you you kind of you kind of watch your you know you could end up at the end of the year you could end up having more expenses than what you thought you were going to have when you would pay in your quarterly so then you end up overpay okay so then the state owes you money but the state just doesn't give you twenty five dollars because right you know but as you're going through the year you try to make it so that you the money that you're sending in on quarterly basis yeah you're estimating so at the end of the year if you didn't guesstimate properly and you owed over a certain amount and I'm not aware what that certain amount is because I haven't had time to look at it but I will look figure out what it was but for the essence of me operating a business in the state of Missouri they find me twenty five dollars because I didn't give them the amount of

26:23money that I was supposed to in my quarterly taxation delete up to the end filing of April 15th and yes I know there will be people but Tom it's the law you know at some point in time the people who work in that led to up in Jefferson City need to grasp concept that we the people control what it is that they do and this is absolute bull crap yeah that I mean any any way they can just get money out of you which leads me to hj 174 this is going to be the constitutional amendment that you're going to see on your ballot in November and what they're trying to do is they're trying to eliminate the income tax in Missouri and apply what basically you're going to see an increase in sales taxes you're going to see things now that are not taxed taxed kind of like

27:24now went like when I go out and service a piece of equipment that's not taxed to the people but if hdr 174 passes they absolutely will implement that tax but here's the funny thing for a given calendar year a reduction in the rate of individual income taxes by 1 100 of 1% shall occur if the amount of net general revenue collections in the previous fiscal year exceeds by at least 20 million dollars the amount of net general revenue collected in the fiscal year ending June 30th 2025 the net general revenue collections in the fiscal year ending June 30 2025 shall be adjusted annually by the rate of inflation so already what they can do and what they're looking to do here is that they want to put the handcock amendment on hold right yeah which will then allow them to

28:29create and implement taxation right in various forms to compensate for the rate of reduction that you're going to get an income taxes which led me to remember that it was I think it was maybe five years ago four years ago somewhere around online that the idea got floated that we can implement a sales tax on home sales which they absolutely could do if we do this you don't pay sales tax when you purchase a home why not well because it's exempted they figure they got you for property taxes they got you for all these different taxes we're not going to apply a sales tax to a house well if if I'm having to pay sales tax on bananas or celery or cucumbers or whatever it is that I'm purchasing at the store then where does the exemption for real estate come in at you

29:30actually purchasing something what now as I and because Bishop Davidson was on Monday to talk about some of this and as he explained it now the the nuance to tales and exemptions and so forth well the one I'm reading off of no I mean they amend it what it is that I'm reading but the Senate actually passed this at 12 30 at night yeah I know that that late night thing occurred and with the Senate Missouri who knows but what one of the the way that Bishop had described this is that that the that what this would require is any revenue like so like you point out hey they can raise taxes sales taxes that this requires whatever that is raised it and I'll yeah that that has to lower the income taxes so that it's zero net essentially so that the intent

30:34here is to set it up to where they can't raise your taxes over here without equally lowering them over there and and that's why there's I think it was five at one point they talk about three years but then five years because I think they assess that within that period of time they should be able to reasonably get that done and then the Hancock amendment thing comes back into place after theoretically they've managed to get it down to zero offsetting it with the increase in sales taxes now that's the goal behind it now I well yeah but the problem with that is is what they're going to end up doing and it will probably be they will exempt certain amounts of certain revenue that's coming in to be allotted towards that amount of money that they're to create that fluctuation you know there's there's different revenues that come into the state of Missouri and different

31:34categories and there's certain things that get exempted and certain things don't so it actually in terms of how it is that they do their spreadsheets even though yes it's at the top it's not a lot at four as part of this offset so if you're going to create the absolute let's say ag industry revenue is exempt so let's say ag revenue generate 60 billion a year no I'm throwing just out numbers so that 60 billion does not a lot towards the amount of money that is used as the offset that comes from different forms of revenue that come into the but as I understood it and I'll get clarification on this that I mean like dollar for dollar according to what their approach here is that I mean if there is an additional sales tax that occurs

32:36there's no choice that has to be offset by lowering the income yeah that that is true well I should say yeah and that's what it says but we know how well they now he abide by the construction and he also he had said that if this passes again in November it passes this doesn't get implemented what it does is it allows the state legislature to move forward and attempt to implement it which you know then you can of course deal with well potential changes to it and so forth but I think it's as I understand it in November if this does pass it doesn't make it happen it makes it so that it can happen which adds to the confusion of it all or anything anything this stuff that gets complicated it's just so difficult well part part of the problem is and if you if you look at this bill it's actually one two three it's actually four pages but that's

33:40on eight the half by eleven okay you you know darn well the ballots not an eight and a half by eleven well yeah there is the the thought process of what the bill is going to do and when they put this into the constitution this is eleven pages well you know the other thing though I I mentioned there'll be a summary how many voters what percentage of voters do you think even read the summary beyond the first two sentences I mean I know you and I do and a lot of our listeners do but even the people who read it are they going to understand it I mean that's that's my problem with the guy who I know who's trying to implement a gross receipt sales tax to compensate for everything in the state of Missouri he sent me the constitutional amendment that would be required in order to implement that across the state and I just I sent him back an email I said dude this is so freaking convoluted it's going to take me four and a half months you know they figured out what is it it is that you are doing I think about well I guess it's well maybe it's not ironic

34:45on one hand I'm thinking the iron so that Hancock amendment was designed in order to keep taxes lower no no I don't want to keep it from being raised yeah it was to make sure that the relatively safe so in taxation and what it was going towards unless it's the gas tax which case will ignore no no they didn't ignore it they worked around it by spreading it out of our five years they they they found they created a loop yeah they create they created a loophole in reality it did not exist they very deliberately did not ignore it but but the so well the Hancock amendment in a nutshell for people they don't know that came from congressman Mel Hancock or who would become US congressman Mel Hancock some congressional but it said that if you if you got a raised taxes at a particular rate I think higher than the rate of inflation if I remember right the legislature the people have to vote on it the state legislator politicians cannot do it it has

35:49to be approved by the voters and that is an obstacle to eliminating the state income tax because it makes it more unless you're just going to say oh well we're going to have to figure out what to do without that revenue which that I'm sure Mel Hancock would have loved but it would be interesting if he were alive today to get his thoughts on the fact that that Hancock amendment is somewhat of an obstacle to eliminating the state income tax unless of course you do just throw and say what was this do without all that revenue and we'll have to figure out where to cut government because that party might like now now the now the Hancock amendment does create issues in manners of like policing fire departments and those types of things because of the the variables and that and the taxation how it's implemented so yeah it does create obstacles which kind of hinder some public safety aspects of it yeah but if the cities would stop funding

36:53crap that they're not supposed to be funding then a lot of this would go by the wayside because they could put that money towards actual public safety instead of trying to kick a guy off his property so we can allow the water to flow in a greenway space you're just nitpicking now but at least a greenway space is going to have a bike route bike oh well hey there you go there you go maybe they can name it after you no because I'm on the side of the guy from hotel oh I know Tom arts with us as we continue the friday road show from scramblers I got Tom arts with us here at scramblers this morning did you have another point well let's talk real world problems in state of Pennsylvania okay all right state state police cited a man after his herd of cows were reported trespassing on property in taoga county the incident occurred April 13th along Bill Creek Road according to trooper Darren Wheeler of the Pennsylvania state

37:56police police said cows wondered along the roadway notice it didn't say they were on the roadway they wondered along the roadway before walking onto a neighbor's property the owner of the animal 69 year old Mansfield man was cited the alleged victim is listed as a 55 year old woman from Mansfield so if your cows knock down your fence and end up walking in onto your neighbor's property in Pennsylvania you will get cited for trust well your herd yeah we'll get cited for trespassing give me a freaking break now I I've seen laws here in the state of Missouri where you know if your fence gets knocked over because of an accident and your cows wander out the farmer's not responsible for that that makes sense if you're if a cow knocks down your fence and wonders outside your property go get the cows put them away and say hey you need to fix your fence right when when the first aspect of this whole thing is to criminalize it and then find the guy

39:00oh it's money now unless you could actually make the case that his fence was in such disrepair sure that he delivered he knew but that's not what the article says I mean there needs to be a little bit more information because I've driven out in the back roads and Lawrence and yeah some of those fences you go how does that thing even hold cow is just banking on the cow assuming that it's not going to be able to get through the intellectual laziness of the cow more time arts coming up another traffic update here from scrambleers I'm none other than time arts with us this morning they it's rare when this happens but I am going to applaud the bench those people wearing black clothes who got something factually accurate correct and they basically have implemented policy or implemented an opinion which gets rid of something that should have never been deemed unconstitutional begin with the US or the fifth US circuit court of appeals declared a 158 year old federal ban on home distilling unconstitutional the opinion that it exceeded

40:08Congress's authority under the taxing and necessary and proper clause the decision handed down on April the 10th overturned a reconstruction era statute that had prohibited individuals from producing distilled spirits like whiskey and vodka at home without federal authorization land of the free home of the brave strictly defied as long as you get permission from the government to do it that's that's the part of the the the thing that's not there I was going to ask you I don't think I've ever asked this question broadly going back to the tax stuff what do you have in your mind what would be the best if you will form of taxation it's most in line with constitution and human rights if if if I was king for a day yeah I would get rid of all taxation

41:12except for sales taxes yeah because I think you can you can direct a sales tax like a half a percent goes directly the fire districts a half a half a percent yeah could go quickly to policing and and but in in that instance the voter has to be incredibly careful of what it is that city is putting that taxation towards I mean one of the things that I didn't cover and I was hoping to get to it was the the tenant unions that are now better that are forming here in Springfield because people are going to get kicked out of their apartment and I'm think okay well is there a violation of a contract here did they actually had or was it a month a month basis type motel so they knew darn well that they didn't have the I'm sorry as a tenant you don't have the authority to tell the owner of the apartment complex what they can and cannot do with their apartment complex it's like the idiots that are complaining about the Bible versus on in and out burgers

42:16or usherms and not the Bible versus it's like John 316 on the bottom of the cup so if you don't like that then go to some other location yeah don't try to change the way they've done business for decades and some furiating now I agree yeah and I'm with you on the the tax thing too I just of all the forms I think that's the I use the term most fair because the most people are responsible for it and it also diminishes this theme that I've hit on before the ability of government to tell one group oh you can vote for this because you don't have to pay for it and that's where they're able to extract so many taxes out of us oh it won't be for you to be for the property owners oh won't be you it's only for the rich and and they pit us against one another like that and it's to their advantage Tom March thank you so much back in the day you actually had to be a landowner I don't get through that news in 60 seconds
